Three Northwest Army soldiers came out of the city.
There was silence between heaven and earth. Not even the sound of wind.
The atmosphere was very depressing and solemn.
Machete vs. Japanese sword. The most direct and brutal battle.
Either dead or injured.
Zhang Yong thought about how to help.
Demon sword Muramasa. He has many, but he doesn't use them.
Because what the soldiers of the Northwest Army practice are machetes, not Japanese swords.
Temporarily changing weapons will lead to a decrease in combat effectiveness.
"Whoa!"
"Bang!"
The fighting begins.
Zhang Yong closed his eyes.
This time I didn’t turn my head, but I closed my eyes.
He still couldn't look directly at such a cruel battle. His heart couldn't bear it.
The result was surprising.
A red dot disappears...
The two red dots disappear...
The three red dots disappear...
All the white spots are there.
Huh?
Is it so easy?
I hurriedly opened my eyes, fearing that the system had made a mistake.
As a result, we saw that the three Japanese invaders had indeed fallen. The three Northwest troops were still there.
sharp!
So awesome!
Let go of your hanging heart.
Unexpectedly, they won the second round of competition.
Looking sideways at Tong Linge, I found that his face was calm and unfazed.
He turned to look at Ji Xingwen again and found that he was not surprised at all.
"Commander Tong, they are so powerful."
"In terms of cold weapon fighting, we are the ancestors of the Japanese invaders."
"Okay, okay, okay."
Zhang Yong clapped his hands happily.
The words Tong Linge are enough.
The Northwest Army is indeed the best at fighting and has extremely high martial arts skills.
In fact, the Japanese invaders were exploiting their shortcomings and avoiding their strengths.
Their strengths are heavy weapons, aircraft, and heavy artillery, not hand-to-hand combat.
If it is a large-scale hand-to-hand battle, with hundreds or thousands of people swarming forward, there may be a chance. But if the top few fight...
Three veterans of the Northwest Army retreated. They were injured, but not fatally.
Over there, three more Japanese invaders came up.
Still the same outfit, the same pace. Like three robots.
This time, Zhang Yong was no longer nervous.
The Japanese invaders were mass-produced. The overall quality was relatively high. However, there were no top-notch experts.
The first wave of battles should be to test the level of the Japanese invaders.
After determining the combat effectiveness level of the Japanese invaders, personnel can be allocated accordingly.
Three more Northwest Army soldiers came out of the city.
Confrontation.
Fight.
No sound was heard.
There is only the simplest, crudest, and most direct hacking.
In less than three minutes, the battle was over.
The Japanese invaders were completely wiped out.
One soldier of the Northwest Army died and two were injured.
withdraw.
Suddenly it was discovered that the Japanese invaders were moving.
They began to press forward slowly, approaching Wanping City. They were getting closer and closer to Wanping City.
"Captain Ji, how far is your cordon?"
"Three hundred meters."
"Too close."
"This is the maximum range of the rifle to the naked eye."
"Change the mortar."
"this……"
"Order mortars to fire. Seal the distance of 700 meters."
"this……"
"I bear all the responsibilities! I give you a written order! Extend the entire cordon to 700 meters away!"
"All right."
Ji Xingwen had no objection.
Immediately order the mortars to adjust parameters and bombard them 700 meters away.
"Bang!"
"boom!"
A 60mm mortar fires.
The shell landed about 700 meters away and exploded, sending out a ball of fire and raising dust.
The advance of the large Japanese army slowly stopped. Then, a few individual soldiers continued to move forward.
"Keep firing!"
"yes!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
More mortars opened fire.
More shells fell.
They all exploded about 700 meters away.
This is a blockade.
It is also a warning line.
The Japanese invaders who tried to invade had to stop.
They have sensed the Chinese people's determination. If they dare to continue advancing, they will be killed.
Or be killed by sharpshooters. The Chinese will never give in again.
"Mad. It turns out you are also afraid of death!"
Zhang Yong sneered secretly at the corner of his mouth.
He thought the Japanese invaders were really so stubborn that they dared to charge forward forcefully.
If the Japanese invaders really dared to charge head-on, he would definitely blow them up. Now, what he lacks most is artillery shells.
Unfortunately, the Japanese invaders retreated quietly, including the large troops behind them.
Then, a Japanese invader came over with a white flag.
Empty-handed. No weapons.
They wanted to bring back the bodies of the nine killed Japanese invaders.
Three battles. Nine people fought. The Japanese invaders were all wiped out. Four people from the Northwest Army were killed and five were injured.
"Report!"
"The Japanese invaders are gathering in the direction of Marco Polo Bridge! There are one large group!"
An officer arrived in a hurry.
Zhang Yong's eyes flashed and his eyebrows rose.
Marco Polo Bridge?
What? The fight is about to start now?
OK! Come on!
He just happened to be involved!
"Order the reinforcements to set off." Ji Xingwen ordered.
"Yes." The officer went immediately.
Zhang Yong also followed.
Such an important historical moment must be witnessed.
Although it's not July 7 yet, what if the Japanese invaders go crazy and really launch an attack in advance? Everything is possible...
Go through the streets of Wanping City and come to the Marco Polo Bridge in the west.
No gunfire was heard.
It shows that the Japanese invaders haven't really taken action yet.
I guess it's just intimidation and pressure. Trying to do the same thing again.
Each time, they used intimidation and pressure, and then forced the 29th Army to make concessions. Tried and true.
From the Weiyan Gate on the west side of Wanping City, you will reach the Marco Polo Bridge.
Good guy, there really is a stone lion!
It is exactly the same as the Marco Polo Bridge in the picture. Ancient, solemn and solemn.
There are no pedestrians.
Only soldiers.
There are also a lot of sandbag fortifications.
"Commissioner, be careful."
"good."
Zhang Yong crouched and moved forward quietly.
A large number of red dots began to appear on the edge of the map. There were also a large number of weapon symbols.
Check it out and find the 92nd Infantry Cannon. It’s a very familiar weapon.
There is also a 90mm mortar. This guy is more ruthless and more powerful.
Arriving at the forward position, I lay down behind the sandbags. I raised my binoculars and saw the Japanese invaders lying down in the distance.
This is a very obvious offensive move!
Big artillery bombardment.
Infantry charge.
After the infantry charges, the artillery fire begins.
Three-blade axe. Very simple. But tried and true.
silence.
There is no sound.
Around Marco Polo Bridge, everything seemed to be frozen.
There were only dark clouds, and the sun was covered. There was darkness between heaven and earth.
It is a very suitable day to kick off the war.
Will the Japanese invaders take action immediately?
Looking forward to it...
"Duchamp Dragon!"
"arrive."
"Have the mortars been arranged?"
"It's arranged."
"good."
Zhang Yong was slightly relieved.
His unit had no field artillery. Only 81mm mortars.
If the Japanese invaders try to launch an attack, they will directly bomb with mortars. First blow up half of the Japanese invaders.
Wait patiently...
Get ready to write a new page in history...
However……
The Japanese invaders made no move.
The Japanese invaders faced off 1,000 meters away.
But it never came forward.
Seeing the time passing minute by minute, Zhang Yong began to feel unhappy.
Mader, why haven't you rushed forward yet?
Go!
I'm ready.
The machine guns are ready. The mortars are ready.
Just waiting for you guys to show up.
As a result, you fell asleep over there?
Baga!
half an hour...
One hour...
Zhang Yong couldn't hold it any longer.
I don't have the patience to wait any longer. Come back first.
He rolled his eyes, thinking about how to break this uncomfortable situation.
Wave and call Ji Xingwen over.
"Captain Ji, can we attack from Marco Polo Bridge?"
"It's difficult. Commissioner, the Marco Polo Bridge is too narrow and has limited passability. It's impossible to deploy too many troops."
"Are the Japanese invaders deliberately waiting for us to attack?"
"It's possible."
"What a dog."
Zhang Yong cursed angrily.
These Japanese invaders are really boring. They engage in small tricks all day long.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Yong asked slowly: "Can we counter-encircle the Japanese invaders?"
"What?" Ji Xingwen was confused.
"While reinforcing Marco Polo Bridge, we counter-encircled the Japanese invaders or attacked the Japanese invaders' flanks."
"this……"
"We cannot passively fight. We must take the initiative. We must poke the Japanese invaders' assholes."
"this……"
Ji Xingwen was a little embarrassed.
He had no such plan. Neither did his superiors.
Their mission was to defend, not to attack. It was to repel the Japanese aggressors. There was no mention of counter-encirclement.
"The Japanese invaders have a large group." Commander Tong explained slowly.
"Their flanks must be relatively weak." Zhang Yong's eyes were bright, "We have a chance."
"We have not deployed the troops to attack..."
"I'll go."
"What?"
"I took the team out to attack the Japanese flanks."
"Commissioner, think again. The Japanese invaders are good at field warfare. If there are no solid fortifications, they may not be able to survive..."
"Is there any other way to cross the Yongding River?"
"You need to go around the shallows below. The water depth is about thirty centimeters. The width of the river is about one hundred and twenty meters."
"It's settled. You reinforce Marco Polo Bridge. I'll be responsible for the sneak attack."
"If something goes wrong, withdraw immediately."
"good."
Zhang Yong agreed.
Immediately set off with the Fourth Air Police Regiment.
There are currently about 400 people in the Fourth Air Police Regiment in Wanping.
The weapons and equipment are naturally the best.
There are Garand semi-automatic rifles. There are Thompson submachine guns. There are 81mm mortars.
But there is no Czech light machine gun. Because I don’t want to use two different rifle bullet calibers. Logistics can easily get confused.
There is no Somi submachine gun. For the same reason, submachine gun bullets can only use one type. Otherwise, logistics will also be messed up.
Suddenly, the edge of the map prompted a large number of white dots approaching. There were weapon signs.
Oh, it's Cheng Maojin, Yan Liang, Xia Yikui and the others. They finally arrived at Wanping City on foot.
After a while, an officer hurriedly came to report.
"Northeast Army?"
Commander Tong turned to look at Zhang Yong.
Zhang Yong nodded and expressed that it was related to him.
"Commander Tong, I recruited them all. The total strength is 2,400."
"Commissioner, you..."
"You report it to Commander Song to make a decision."
"All right."
Tong Linge does not participate in politics.
How to deal with it specifically is the authority of the military commander.
In fact, from a purely military perspective, the more troops the better.
Immediately send someone to report to the military base in Lu Province.
Then asked Zhang Yong: "How do you plan to use these Northeastern troops?"
"Of course we took the initiative." Zhang Yong had a vague plan in his mind. It was not very clear. It was to counter the encirclement.
If the Japanese invaders dared to attack Marco Polo Bridge, he would dare to lead the attack.
The Fourth Air Police Regiment only has 400 people, which is too small. It is difficult to counter the encirclement. But the Northeast Army is different.
They have a total of 2,400 people. There may be more in the future.
It is still somewhat possible to encircle a large group of Japanese invaders and then inflict heavy losses.
Especially in the dark night, it is difficult for the Japanese aircraft and heavy artillery to be effective. In a battle with light weapons, who is afraid of whom?
Simply talking about light weapons, the Chinese army is not much different.
"In that case, Commissioner, you make the decision!"
"good."
Zhang Yong did his part.
You are responsible for the defense. I am responsible for the attack.
Come and meet Cheng Maojin and others.
"Commissioner!"
"Commissioner!"
Everyone quickly stood at attention and saluted.
Zhang Yong returned the favor.
Look at everyone.
A little tired. But not too tired.
"The Japanese invaders are trying to attack Marco Polo Bridge. I am going to lead you to take the initiative to attack the Japanese invaders' flanks and even encircle them. What do you think?"
"We listen to the Commissioner."
"Do you still have the strength?"
"have!"
"Then let's go!"
Zhang Yong doesn't talk nonsense either.
Lead the team out of Wanping City.
Instead of taking the Marco Polo Bridge, take the east side of the Yongding River.
Prepare to cross the Yongding River alone and then outflank the Japanese invaders' rear.
[Strategic map opens]
The system prompts.
The strategic map is actually a simplified version of the world map.
Increase the monitoring distance to 24 nautical miles, which is 44 kilometers. There is a lot of information displayed. You need to organize it yourself.
No, there are a lot of red dots on the map.
The radius is 44 kilometers. It includes all the Japanese military camps that occupied the Fengtai area.
Enlarge the map and look for the west side of Marco Polo Bridge. There are a lot of red dots here.
Sure enough, the Japanese invaders are here.
There were no other Japanese invaders nearby.
As long as we cross the Yongding River, we can sneak attack on the Japanese invaders' flanks.
However, just as the team was preparing to cross the river, the strategic map showed that the red dot to the west of Marco Polo Bridge was moving north.
Huh?
What are the Japanese invaders going to do?
withdraw?
No. The Japanese invaders withdrew?
Mader, you are kidding me!
I just took action, and you actually withdrew?
No. At least let me catch up and fire a few shots first. I still want to leave my name in history!
what to do?
Of course we continued crossing the river.
The Japanese invaders withdrew. However, Zhang Yong did not want to go back.
He wanted to cross the river and then withdraw from the west side of Marco Polo Bridge.
Suddenly I found a red dot.
Check.
It was discovered that the Japanese invaders were carrying Type 44 rifles.
Huh?
Is this the Japanese cavalry?
He raised his telescope and searched carefully. Sure enough, he saw Japanese cavalry scouts 800 meters away.
Just one.
Looking around.
I was immediately happy. I finally caught a lone man.
"Mortar!"
"arrive!"
"There is a Japanese cavalry ahead, kill it!"
"yes."
The artillerymen hurriedly set up their cannons.
At the same time, use the telescope to determine the orientation and distance of the target.
For the sake of safety, Zhang Yong ordered six 81mm mortars to be fired at the same time. The Japanese cavalry must be taken away in one wave.
At least the Japanese cavalry must be injured so that they cannot escape from the battlefield.
If he finally went out and returned without killing one or two Japanese invaders, wouldn't it mean that his trip was in vain?
"preparation!"
"put!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Cannon ejected from chamber.
They all fell near the Japanese cavalry.
"boom……"
"boom……"
A violent explosion sounded.
The Japanese cavalry were shrouded in smoke and could not see clearly for the time being.
But there is a map showing it.
The red dot is still there.
Twenty seconds...
Forty seconds...
Finally, the red dot disappeared.
Done!
The Japanese cavalry was killed.
Is this the gunfire at Marco Polo Bridge? Of course not.
