Wang Qinglong straightened his back and stood behind a gun emplacement. He felt that the violent genes hidden in his body were becoming more and more active in the sound of explosions. He liked to watch the enemy turn into powder in the sound of explosions.
When the bombardment came to an end, the artillerymen were busy cleaning the remaining gunpowder residue in the barrel of the artillery that had just fired a round of shells, otherwise the damage to the barrel would be great.
"Load"
Following the orders of the gunners, four burly loaders, each two holding a lifting tong, worked together to clamp a 203mm shell weighing nearly hundreds of kilograms and placed it on the loading trolley.
On the machine, a loader immediately used the feeding rod to push the shell into the barrel of the flattened 203mm heavy howitzer.
The other gunner quickly closed the running bolt. The soldiers were already very skilled in doing these actions, which fully met the requirements of the training syllabus to be completed within one minute.
"The target is the second line of defense of the Japanese army aiming at the target"
"put"
Following the order from the commander of the artillery regiment, the twenty-six 203mm heavy howitzers immediately raised their heads and pointed forward.
"Boom boom boom"
The entire artillery position seemed to have thousands of drums beating at the same time. The artillerymen felt that the ground beneath their feet was shaking. Even with earplugs on, they felt a stinging pain in their eardrums, and they opened their ears one by one.
mouth to better protect your hearing.
Destruction manifests itself in nature as natural disasters and in humans as war. Whether admitted or not, since apes became our distant ancestors, peace has only been a luxurious delicacy on the historical table, but war has become a companion to human survival.
It is commonplace. What nature and society have in common is that childbirth is accompanied by severe pain, and destruction gives birth to new life.
Whether it is unleashing destruction or creating the world, a strange and bright new world will emerge. The war of killing machines that introduces modern technology will definitely be more terrifying, beautiful, cruel and exciting than the recreation of nature.
After twenty-six heavy grenades were fired, they made an airtight loud noise, accompanied by the scream of the artillery shells. At this time, the Japanese army's second position was completely covered by clusters of white ground.
Shrouded in explosion smoke and orange firelight.
When this batch of shells roared ear-piercingly into the Japanese follow-up positions, artillery observers could see the rapid expansion of twenty-six huge clouds of smoke and deathly fire rising from the Japanese positions.
The smoke clouds soared hundreds of meters into the sky. The broken corpses and remains that were blown up in the smoke were almost thrown hundreds of meters away. The Japanese trenches that were hit by artillery shells collapsed.
The fierce artillery fire knocked the second line of defense to pieces within fifteen minutes. The division commander, Lieutenant General Kenta Nakajima, was forcibly dragged back to the command post's artillery hole. Lieutenant General Kenta Nakajima remained silent.
Sitting in the shell-proof cave, their faces were pale, and their ears were stung by the deafening sound of artillery. At this time, the people in the cave could no longer hear any sound. The only thing they could do was to pray that they would not be hit by the large-caliber artillery fire.
Direct hit.
"Sixth Regiment, attack." Following the order from regiment commander Wang Changqing, the remaining infantry battalion of the Sixth Regiment also jumped out of the trench and rushed towards the second trench following the two infantry battalions in the first wave of assault.
As the bombardment stopped, the staff of the 27th Division in the artillery cave knew that the Chinese charge on the opposite side was coming. Without saying a word, they immediately pulled Lieutenant General Kenta Nakajima out of the artillery cave and headed toward the end.
A line of defense ran away.
Before he ran two hundred meters away, he heard the killings getting closer and closer. Kenta Nakajima didn't forget to look back when he ran away. But what he saw made Kenta Nakajima's heart feel colder and colder. Huaxia
People are slaughtering the soldiers of the empire like pigs, especially the automatic weapons they hold with such ferocious firepower. The Type 38 rifle that the empire is proud of is just like a fire stick, with a long barrel.
There was not even a wooden stick to use in the narrow trench.
Niu Gensheng jumped into the collapsed trench with the Third Company, and said in a still voice: "The Fourth Artillery Division hit them too hard. What are these? They are just piles of minced meat. It is impossible to count them."
The result of the battle, should we put them together?"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Upon hearing this, a recruit on the side finally couldn't help but vomited.
Niu Gensheng shook his head helplessly, "Wang Xiaoguo, you don't want to be proud. You have been a soldier for several months. You can't stand such a small scene. If you go to Siberia, you will be scared to death.
.”
The sound of "bang bang" sounded from time to time, which was the comrades nearby clearing away the Japanese wounded soldiers. Before setting off, the officers gave special instructions that prisoners below the rank of major were not needed unless there were special circumstances.
"Boy, have you finished vomiting?" Niu Gensheng glanced at Wang Guoxiao, who had just vomited up. He pulled out the M1911 Browning pistol from his waist and handed it to him. "Here, here are you new recruits. You can practice."
You've got the courage. Damn it, you didn't even fire a single shot at the first line of defense. That's not okay. You have to remember that courage comes from practice."
Wang Guoxiao held a Browning pistol in his hand, and his body shook even more violently. He slowly took the pistol and walked forward hastily.
After a while, several m1911's unique dull sounds and Wang Guoxiao's howling came from the front.
The attack of the 102nd Division lasted only three hours and continuously captured two lines of defense of the Japanese 27th Division. This made Lieutenant General Kenta Nakajima, the commander of the 27th Division in charge of the defense of this area, extremely frustrated.
. He didn’t know how long the third line of defense could withstand the pace of the Chinese army. Although he had deployed two full regiments on this line of defense, and the trenches on the line of defense were the strongest and most dedicated, in his heart he felt that he could
There is no certainty at all whether we can hold the line of defense.
After taking a breath, he said to the communications staff: "Send power to the headquarters."
"At 9:40 a.m. today, our unit was attacked fiercely by Chinese artillery fire. The intensity of the artillery fire was unprecedented. Now the first and second lines of defense have been occupied by the Chinese. Sixty-seven and sixty-eight
The regiment is collectively shattered, and our troops are retreating to the last line of defense. Although the officers and soldiers' loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor has not changed at all, the disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves makes it difficult for our troops to resist. We hereby request tactical guidance from the garrison headquarters."
The North China Garrison Command "reported that an urgent report was sent from Rehe. They are under comprehensive attack from three directions: Dage Town, Datan and Yataishan by the Chahar Army. The situation is critical."
The report shocked Tada Shun and the staff in the headquarters, who were beaming with joy at the smooth progress in the direction of Marco Polo Bridge.
"Baga, the abominable Chahar government, the abominable Su Tong." Shun Tada's face was suddenly ugly when his good mood was ruined.
"How is the situation now?" Seeing Jun Tada's livid face, a combat staff officer asked quickly.
"The situation is very bad. Those who attacked Taishan and Datan were China's 3rd Armored Division and 5th Infantry Division respectively, while those who attacked Dage Town were Hu Lian's 102nd Infantry Division. Their attacks were extremely
The attack was so violent that Yataishan was lost, and all but a small part of the 18,000-strong security team surrendered. Datan and Dage Town are now in danger under the fierce attack of the Chinese, and the reading force of the 20th Brigade and
Division commander Kenta Nakajima sent separate telegrams requesting urgent tactical guidance."
"Your Excellency, Commander, the Chinese attack is too fierce, we should send troops to reinforce," Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Tatsumi Kusaba said quickly.
"It's too late." Jun Tada shook his head sadly, then turned around and ordered: "Order the 20th Reading Brigade and the 27th Division to retreat to Chengde immediately, and must defend Chengde."
"Hi"
The communications staff member bowed and left immediately.
"Order Okamura Neji to speed up the attack, and I must capture Beiping."
There was a sense of madness in Tada Shun's words. He knew that if Peiping was not captured as soon as possible, he would not be able to mobilize troops to support Rehe. Once Rehe was lost, the trouble of the base camp would definitely fall on him first.
Today's fierce Japanese attack on Marco Polo Bridge in Peking shattered Song Zheyuan's illusions about peace talks. He immediately mobilized Zhao Dengyu's 109th Brigade to rush to Marco Polo Bridge to aid.
After Zhao Dengyu led his troops to Marco Polo Bridge, the Second Division led by Okamura Neiji also arrived at the same time. Okamura Neiji immediately ordered the 30th Takata Regiment to attack.
The Second Division was established in the Sendai area of Japan in 1888. Its soldier supply area is also in Sendai, so it is also called the Sendai Division. It is one of the permanent divisions of Japan, because the soldiers of the division
Most of them come from the northeastern part of Japan, where the natural conditions are poor and the folk customs are fierce, so they have extremely strong combat effectiveness.
The 109th Brigade led by Zhao Dengyu had very poor weapons, most of which were made in Hanyang and old sleeves. Each company had only two light machine guns, and the soldiers only had dozens of rounds of ammunition. Therefore, the fight was very difficult, and by the evening the troops had been reduced in number.
More than two thousand people.
After nightfall, Zhao Dengyu felt that the weapons and firepower were too far behind the Japanese army, so he decided to send a sword team to attack the Japanese army's camp at night. He summoned the regiment commander and battalion commanders for a meeting and decided to take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and attack the enemy camp at night. He said excitedly
: "Resisting Japan and saving the country is a soldier's bounden duty. Raising troops for a thousand days and serving the country for a while. Only by not being afraid of sacrifice can we win glory for the country."
At the meeting, Zhao Dengyu decided to personally lead the sword team to attack the Second Division's headquarters at night. He personally selected five hundred warriors who dared to die. When the sword team gathered, Song Zheyuan also came to see him off in person. When he walked to the front of the team
Five hundred warriors are ready to go.
Looking at these five hundred warriors, Song Zheyuan's eyes turned red. He knew that not many of these five hundred warriors would come back after this battle, and it was not impossible that the whole army would even be annihilated.
Song Zheyuan solemnly saluted the warriors and said loudly: "Brothers, this journey is very difficult and dangerous. I, Mr. Song, only wish you all to kill more Japanese."
