In the afternoon, as soon as the Chahar army attacked, the Japanese army felt that the Chahar army's attack method was very different from that in the morning. Moreover, the uniforms, weapons, and weapons of the army that took the lead in attacking this time were different from those in the morning.
The tactical movements are different from those of ordinary Chahar soldiers.
They wore black combat uniforms, and almost all of the weapons they held were automatic weapons. With flamethrowers, rocket launchers, snipers, machine gunners and other weapons, their offensive momentum was very sharp and fierce.
They usually formed a small detachment of four and advanced alternately with each other. The rest of the Chahar siege troops followed behind and provided fire support immediately in the event of a firefight.
In a dark alley, a four-man team was advancing cautiously. The team leader squatted close to the wall and stood at the corner with a machine gun facing the wall, trying to ensure that he was not exposed in advance.
After arriving at the entrance of the alley, the leading soldier took off his helmet to prevent the target from being too large. Then he crouched his torso to a position parallel to the corner of the wall, adjusted his torso to a normal posture, observed the battle situation in the street, and took off his helmet.
Helmets seem to lack protection, but in this special environment where combat distances generally occur within 80 meters, once the head is hit, it makes no difference whether to wear a helmet or not, not to mention Japan's 92
It is a Japanese heavy machine gun. Even if the helmet can block bullets, the soldier's neck will be broken in an instant due to the strong kinetic energy of the bullet. Therefore, it is best for observers to take off the helmet.
s Choice.
After some observation, the leading soldier stretched out three fingers to indicate that there were three enemies on the opposite side. He made a few more hidden gestures, and the three soldiers behind him quickly came up.
The leading soldier ducked and gave up his position to the machine gunner. The machine gunner immediately opened the bipod of the mg42 machine gun in his arms and set it up on the ground, and he immediately lay down.
After seeing that the team members were ready, the leader of the team nodded fiercely, and the remaining three soldiers rushed to the exit and opened fire with the submachine guns in their hands. In one moment, three submachine guns and a machine gun were fired.
The Japanese troops in the opposite corner were instantly beaten into a sieve before they had time to react.
"The clearing is complete, keep moving forward." Under the leadership of the squad leader, the soldiers continued to move forward.
Similar scenes like this are constantly happening in this city, and on the relatively wide streets, Hu Lian and the others broke the tanks of the 3rd Armored Division into pieces and dispersed them into several small units, fighting with the infantry, artillery and
The engineers formed an assault group and an assault detachment together, and conquered the Japanese fortresses one by one. The soldiers tied the collected mattresses to the tank to reduce the blow to it. They also lit smoke bottles. Under the cover of the smoke,
, the soldiers rushed into the buildings and alleys and started a close battle with the Japanese army.
In the Japanese army's headquarters, Lieutenant General Tatsumi Kusaba was nervously watching the changes in the battle situation.
With a "bang" sound, a Japanese army officer rushed in and said anxiously: "Reporting to your Excellency, General, the current offensive of the Chinese army is very fierce. They have switched to new tactics. As a result, our twenty-seventh division is now
The casualties were heavy. Commander Nakajima asked me to ask you for tactical guidance."
Kusaba Tatsumi snorted: "Didn't Nakajima-kun say today that the Chinese are just like that and vulnerable? Why are you asking for tactical guidance now?"
"Your Excellency General," the officer said with a sad voice: "This afternoon, the Chinese came with another strange troop. Their dress, weapons and tactical movements were completely different from the ordinary Chinese soldiers before.
They seem to be born to fight in the city, and are very skilled in how to fight in the city. Under their fierce attack, our division suffered very heavy casualties. Now our position has shrunk by one-third. Please tell me.
We must send more reinforcements.”
Kusaba Tatsumi secretly sighed and said kindly to the officer: "I only have one brigade in hand now, so I will hand it over to Nakajima-kun. I hope you will not disappoint His Majesty the Emperor's expectations. You must do it."
Just hold on to your position and reinforcements will arrive tomorrow."
"Reinforcements haha, I'm afraid Cauchang Tatsumi won't be able to wait for the arrival of those reinforcements." In the seventh theater headquarters, Su Tong sat behind his desk and sneered as he looked at the photos sent back by the reconnaissance plane this morning.
In the photo, a long group of Type 95 light tanks, Vickers armored vehicles and nearly a thousand trucks formed a rolling traffic heading towards Chengde. "Haha, the Kwantung Army has spent a lot of money this time.
, they sent one of their only two chariot brigades. It seems that their determination to rescue Chengde this time is very determined." Jiang Baili looked at the photo in his hand and smiled softly.
"Since the Kwantung Army was willing to spend such a huge amount of money, wouldn't it be disrespectful to Ueda Kenkichi if we didn't let them leave something behind?" Su Tong gently put the photo in his hand on the table, and Su Tong grabbed it.
The phone call: "I'm Su Tong, please pick up Gao Zhihang and Ziheng. Now I order the entire First Air Division to dispatch, and the operation to retain guests has officially begun."
Following Su Tong's order, the P47 fighter jets and Stukas of the First Air Division that had been waiting at Feilong Airport soared into the sky.
On the vast grassland, Lieutenant General Takeshita Yoshiharu of the 139th Division was sitting in a truck, staring straight ahead, but he was tossing and turning in his heart.
Yoshiharu Takeshita, Seishiro Itadane, Kenji Doihara, Neji Okamura, and Toshiyoshi Ando who graduated from the Japanese Army Military Academy are all students in the 16th batch. However, these people are now accomplished heroes of the empire.
, is at least the division commander of the A-class division, so the 16th period is also called the "Glorious 16th period" in the Japanese military circles. However, he also commands a third-rate C-class division.
The first time I met these old classmates, I felt like I couldn't hold my head up.
Wasn't Okamura Neiji known as Sanyuwu? Wasn't he driven out of Peiping City by Chahar the day before yesterday and returned to Tianjin in despair? This time he was rushing to lead a team to relieve the siege of Chengde.
Let the base camp see that I, Takeshita Yoshiharu, am no worse than those people.
As long as the siege of Chengde is relieved, I'm afraid the base camp will feel embarrassed if it doesn't hand over a first-class division to my command, Takeshita Yoshiharu thought beautifully.
In the Japanese military circles, there is an unwritten rule that only those who have served as division commanders of the seventeen permanent divisions of the Army are the key training targets of the base camp. You see, all those who have commanded these permanent divisions in the past are now
There are a few of them who are not high-ranking officials with heavy troops or hold prominent positions in the base camp.
Takeshita Yoshiharu, who was feeling very happy, didn't know that above the clouds in front of him, there was a huge fleet of aircraft rushing towards his 139th Division and Chariot Brigade like hungry wolves.
.
Le Yiqin, commander of the 1st Air Division of the 7th Theater Command, was piloting a P47 fighter plane while directing this huge fleet of aircraft to continuously approach the reinforcements led by Takeshita Yoshiharu.
"Report, Japanese troops have been spotted ahead, will they attack?" Suddenly a voice came from Le Yiqin's headset into Le Yiqin's ears.
After hearing the report, Le Yiqin immediately connected to the public channel. The next moment, all the pilots heard Le Yiqin's calm voice: "Stuka 1, 2, and 3 Brigades attacked the Japanese troops below as planned.
The convoys take turns to attack. Be sure to remember the order of the attack, first the chariot brigade, then the infantry division, are you all clear?"
"Listen clearly" came the unanimous reply from the pilots in Le Yiqin's headset.
"Start attacking"
Following Le Yiqin's order, the thirty-six fighter planes of the Stuka First Group shook their seemingly clumsy bodies and broke away from the formation and began to dive downwards.
"woo woo woo woo"
When the Stuka appeared in the sight of the Japanese army, the shrill siren also reached the ears of the Japanese army.
"It's the death vulture, the Chinese death vulture." A Japanese sergeant commander standing on a truck pointed at the sky and shouted in fear.
The name of the Stuka, first called the Death Vulture by the Soviets, has become famous in the international aviation community following the Chahar Army's several battles in the Siberian battlefield and with the Japanese Army.
After watching the Stuka fighters equipped by Chahar, military experts sent by the German government said in a telegram to the German government that it is true that Chahar's Stuka stole technology from our German government.
, but we have to admit that after their transformation, this fighter jet, which we originally thought had average performance, has shone with dazzling brilliance in their hands.
Accompanied by the siren is the Stuka's dive bombing. Its unique ninety-degree vertical attack can make almost all ground defense and control firepower unstoppable, not to mention the Japanese army columns that are still on the march.
The first wave of thirty-six Stukas first rushed towards the Japanese tank formation. When the Stukas dived to 800 meters above the ground, the speed had reached 540 kilometers per hour, and one SD4H1 submunition bomb
It immediately broke away from the machine body and fell towards the group of tanks like a cannonball.
Not long after each cluster bomb broke away from the machine body, it split into seventy-eight small bombs each weighing four kilograms, and rushed toward the group of tanks overwhelmingly.
"Boom boom"
Under such intensive bombing, the Type 95 light tank that was still speeding on the grassland was like a bottle of champagne that was suddenly opened after being violently shaken, popping and popping.
"Asshole, the chariot brigade should stop quickly and form an anti-aircraft formation. You idiots, do you think you can run faster than an airplane? Stop now."
Lieutenant General Takeshita Yoshiharu, who was watching behind with eyes wide open, jumped out of the car, cursed loudly the driver of the tank in front, and ordered the 139th Division to stop advancing quickly and form an anti-aircraft formation.
But Le Yiqin in the sky didn't want to give him this opportunity. Under Le Yiqin's command, one team after another of P47 dived down in an orderly manner, and the two 50-kilogram bombs carried on the fuselage also
Take turns to join the Japanese army's truck convoy.
