Balls of fire exploded on the railway line. The rails and sleepers were blown into the sky.
The nearby Japanese strongholds were also bombed to the sky.
The three-wheeled motorcycle patrol that tried to run out to see what was going on was blown to pieces.
Was a 105mm howitzer used?
of course not.
Such a heavy howitzer is too difficult to transport.
Could it be that a 75mm mountain gun was used? Nope.
It's also bulkier.
If you are traveling long distances, even a 75mm mountain gun will be a huge burden.
Zhang Chu used a 107 rocket launcher!
Only this thing is the lightest and has the most powerful firepower.
It can fire 12 rockets in one salvo.
The explosive power of each rocket is comparable to that of a 122mm howitzer.
The key is to make it fun and enjoyable!
When this series of rockets went down, the surrounding Japanese invaders were shocked.
"idiot!"
"The heavy artillery from Tubal Road is coming!"
"Tuba Road's heavy artillery!"
"idiot!"
He hurriedly asked his superiors for help.
The Japanese invaders who were attacked unanimously concluded that they were attacked by the Tubal Heavy Artillery Regiment.
At least a howitzer above 105mm!
The number of howitzers was at least ten! The ferocity of the artillery fire was unprecedented!
The railway line was blown up.
Nearby strongholds were also bombed.
At the place of the explosion, there were balls of fire. It was very dense.
All of this is like being bombarded by a group of artillery.
However, in Zhang Chu's view, one rocket launcher is not enough because the loading speed is too slow. At least five are needed.
upgrade!
airdrop!
"puff!"
The package landed.
Inside are the parts of the 107 rocket launcher.
It is also the only artillery piece that can be air-dropped because it can be completely disassembled. Each part is very light.
Unpack.
Take out the parts and assemble them.
Soon, the second rocket launcher was put into use. Twelve rockets were fired in succession.
Then the third door...
The fourth door...
"Woooooooo..."
"Boom boom boom..."
More rockets were fired at the Japanese invaders.
The Japanese invaders who suffered the bombing were dumbfounded. God Amaterasu bless them. The artillery fire on Tubal Road became more and more powerful.
There must be a heavy artillery regiment now.
Then...
"Woooooooo..."
"Boom boom boom..."
More shells fell.
The Japanese invaders were even more frightened.
Are these two heavy artillery regiments?
Such fierce firepower? How many heavy artillery did Tubalu have?
In fact, there were only six 107 rocket launchers around Zhang Chu. However, due to the fast reloading speed, it caused a great illusion to the Japanese invaders.
The density of 107 rocket launcher fire depends not on the cannon, but on the shells.
As long as there are enough rockets, a cannon can unleash the power of a heavy artillery regiment. In one minute, it can fire 36 rockets at the fastest!
Everything depends on the loading speed.
The main reloading speed is fast enough, firing three rounds in one minute is no problem!
That's overwhelming!
That was earth-shattering!
No wonder the Japanese invaders were so nervous.
Even Jiya, Wulan and other female spies were dumbfounded. It turned out that the rocket launcher salvo was so terrifying.
Before, in Guyuan and Duolun, Zhang Chu had never used such a powerful weapon. Now when he suddenly took it out, he felt that the earth was shaking and the mountains were shaking, and the heaven and earth were destroyed.
No matter what it is, it can't withstand such fierce artillery fire!
"Nani?"
"Is there a heavy artillery regiment on Tubal Road?"
"Nani?"
"There are at least two heavy artillery regiments on Tubal Road?"
"Nani..."
The Japanese invaders who received the report did not dare to neglect and hurriedly reported it to the North China Front Army Headquarters.
Chief of Staff Miyano received the report, his face as gloomy as water.
Damn Tubal Road!
Actually ignited the flames of war in Jidong again?
He had just transferred part of Jidong's troops outside the Great Wall in preparation for the siege of Guyuan. Jidong's troops were empty.
I originally thought that all the Tubal Roads in Jidong had gathered outside the Great Wall. There must not be many Tubal Roads in Jidong. Jidong was safe. Unexpectedly, the war suddenly broke out, and I was caught off guard.
Two heavy artillery regiments?
How can it be?
Miyano didn't believe it at first.
Where can Tubalu get so many artillery pieces?
Zhang Chu arrived in Jidong?
It wasn't until the railway garrison later reported that the entire ten-kilometer railway line had been bombed and all the strongholds along the way had been destroyed that we had no choice but to believe it.
At the same time, the 118th Division transferred from the Kwantung Army reported that it was attacked by fierce artillery fire.
Miyano believed it. At the same time, he felt a little relieved.
fine.
The 118th Division just arrived in Jidong.
This division was the last to enter the Pass because the Kwantung Army refused to release them.
I didn't expect to arrive early, but it was better to arrive by chance.
So he immediately ordered the 118th Division to fight in the eastern Hebei area and eliminate the Tubal Road in eastern Hebei.
Faintly, Miyano also felt that Zhang Chu might have arrived in Jidong. So, he added an order to the 118th Division to eliminate Zhang Chu at all costs.
"Youxi..."
"Work on Tubal Road!"
"Zhang Chu..."
After receiving the report, the commander of the 118th Division saw Lieutenant General Kazuo again, full of ambition and ready to make a move.
He also thought that his division was the last one to enter the pass. Once inside the pass, he might not be able to get any military exploits. He was feeling depressed. Unexpectedly, a Tubal Road would bump into his arms.
Then you're welcome.
No matter how much Tubal comes, it can eat it!
I don’t know what Zhang Chu is capable of, but he actually needs to dispatch a division to deal with it?
Just kidding!
One alliance is enough!
No matter how many Tubal roads are ahead, one unit is enough!
Immediately ordered the troops to counterattack.
Although the 118th Division is a three-armed division, it has very strong troops.
The total strength of the entire division is about 22,000. This is the advantage of being within the Kwantung Army's order of battle. Not only is it fully staffed, but it is even overstaffed.
In addition to the three infantry regiments, there is also a cavalry regiment, an artillery regiment, an engineer regiment, and a baggage regiment.
The baggage regiments of other divisions basically only have about 1,000 men. However, the baggage regiment of the 118th Division has a full 4,000 men. Its combat effectiveness is comparable to that of an infantry regiment.
Due to the deployment of troops, the baggage regiment of the 118th Division happened to be near the battlefield.
Shigemi Kazuo immediately ordered the baggage regiment to attack.
The baggage regiment has 4,000 people and its combat effectiveness is quite strong. It is no problem to deal with Tubal Road.
Back then, the supply chain of the Fifth Division was attacked by the main force of Tubal Road's most elite 115th Division, and it still caused huge casualties to Tubal Road.
so……
Victory is within reach.
Intentionally or unintentionally, it forgot one thing - there are heavy artillery on Tubal Road!
result……
"Kill Chirp!"
"Kill Chirp!"
The Japanese baggage regiment launched an attack.
Although it was a baggage regiment, the Japanese army's combat effectiveness was also very strong.
He rushed forward in one breath, with overwhelming force.
In an instant, all Zhang Chu could see were the heads of the Japanese invaders.
Inadvertently, his eyebrows rose.
Well come!
I like the Japanese invaders’ Zhutu Charge the most.
The Japanese invaders will save trouble, and so will we. All we need to do is pour out firepower as hard as we can.
rocket launcher...
A little disappointed.
The distance is too close. The rocket launcher cannot exert its power.
what to do?
Mortar?
It only carried three guns, which severely lacked firepower.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The cannon ejected from the chamber and landed accurately among the Japanese invaders. However, the damage caused by the explosion was not enough to stop the Japanese invaders' sudden charge.
Fortunately, in the end, the 12.7mm heavy machine gun held down the position.
"Tu tu tu tu..."
"Tu tu tu tu..."
Heavy machine guns swept through everything.
No matter whether it is a human or a ghost, as long as it rushes up, it will be a dead end.
The Japanese heavy infantry regiment had a very large number of troops. However, they did not have heavy weapons. They did not even have infantry artillery. They only had some grenades, and the number was not large.
After all, it is a baggage regiment. It is defensive in nature and does not require infantry artillery.
It was destined that when the Japanese invaders encountered fierce firepower, they would not have enough ability to fight back.
The result of using a Zhudong submachine gun is death.
In fact, the Japanese invaders fell one by one.
Both Jiya and Ulan were already numb.
Are those our own people?
no……
I don’t know them…
Anyway, I have no interaction with them.
Knowing that Tubalu's firepower was so ferocious, they still rushed forward stupidly.
