Dongfang Yunming and Gao Wenfeng drove to the artillery position 20 kilometers south of Chengde, this artillery position was placed on the edge of a forest, 30 105mm howitzers and 40 75mm field guns had entered the dug gun position, the soldiers were sending shells to each gun position, Chen Yingtian was checking the map again to calculate the shooting Zhu Yuan, the radio captured from Chengde had been set up, and the contact with the front scouts was maintained at any time, it stands to reason that the artillery position should be laid in an open place to ensure fire coverage, But they had to guard against the devil's bombers, once the devils were hit by artillery fire, with their tactics, they would immediately call the air team, but the independent regiment now has no decent air defense weapons, because the squadron has no aircraft, so there are only 12 imitation Deggarev anti-aircraft machine guns in Chengde's arsenal, which does not play much role at all, to guard against the Japanese aircraft, you can only choose the edge of the woods as an artillery position, first, the trees can block the view of the aircraft, Second, the shells were less hindered by tree branches.

Now the main force of the Japanese Kwantung Army is concentrated in the battlefield of the Great Wall, and the Japanese army in the northeast direction basically has no large troops that can be sent, so a total of 42 howitzers, 30 of which are deployed in the south of Chengde, the devils in the direction of the Great Wall are the most guarded against, the original independent regiment has an artillery company of more than 120 people, all concentrated here, and also strengthened some of the Northeast Army artillery that was scattered in Rehe, which Zhao Zhengwen contacted, barely constituted an artillery battalion of 400 people, Chen Yingtian served as the battalion commander, The deputy battalion commander is Li Yunhai, the commander of an artillery battalion of the former Northeast Army, and in this way, he can only reach a crew of 4 people, but fortunately, the projectiles of the 105 howitzers are only less than 20 kg each, and one person can easily pick them up, so there are two gunners in each artillery squad, one is responsible for adjusting the body tube, the other is responsible for pulling the gun rope, two loaders, one is responsible for loading the projectile, and the other is responsible for loading the projectile bag (most of the 100mm howitzers are separated from the projectile and the propellant), In the other direction of Chengde, the remaining 5 75mm field guns and 12 105mm howitzers were arranged, and dozens of artillery pieces found in Zhao Zhengwen's troops became artillery platoons, Zhao Zhengwen's deputy battalion commander Zhang Changwu was originally a graduate of the artillery department of the Baoding Military Academy, so he was appointed as the commander of this temporary artillery platoon, despite this, these artillery pieces were still greatly overnumbered, of course, Dongfang Yunming did not want to take away these heavy artillery, and was prepared to discard them after being used in this operation, so he gave orders to Chen Yingtian and Zhang Changwu, There is no need to consider the life of the artillery barrel and the shells, try to use rapid fire, psychologically give the Japanese a powerful blow, let them also taste the taste of being covered by firepower, and let the artillery under his command practice well, this order is given, all the artillery is very excited, there are not many opportunities for such practice, so everyone throws off their arms to arrange artillery positions and carry shells with the infantry.

At this moment, news came from the reconnaissance company that came out of the front, and found that a large number of puppet troops were marching towards Chengde, and the size of the troops was about one brigade.

Senior General Muto Nobuyoshi Muto of the Kwantung Army Headquarters in Shenyang had just gotten up from the bed when he received Junichi Takeki's emergency telegram in the early morning of the 20th, and he didn't pay attention to it at first, but after a few minutes, he gradually sobered up and felt worse and worse, Junichi Takeki was a steady person, known as a "wise general" in the Japanese army, if even he made such an urgent telegram to the Kwantung Army Headquarters (not a telegram asking for help), it means that the situation is likely to be worse than what he said in the telegram, Chengde is the main road of communication leading to the front line of the Great Wall in the three eastern provinces, although it is not the only road, but the large-scale transportation of materials must pass through Chengde, and now Chengde only has a few hundred people of the baggage team and the military police, once it is attacked by the volunteers on a large scale, the consequences are unimaginable, so he immediately ordered to send a report to the 33rd Brigade to ask for the details of Junichi Takeki, but the communication department reported to him that the 33rd Brigade lost contact.

At this time, Muto Nobuyoshi was completely shocked, from receiving Junichi Takeki's telegram to losing contact, it was only more than 20 minutes in total, could it be that Chengde was taken by the ** team in these more than 20 minutes? Of course not so fast, when the volunteers attacked, Junichi Takeki was sleeping well, and it was already 10 minutes later when he got dressed because of his inconvenient legs and feet, most of the staff officers in the brigade headquarters were sent to the front line one after another a few days ago, and the remaining staff officers and communication soldiers did not send any telegrams to their superiors and friendly troops asking for help, until Takeki walked in and gave the order, and when he heard the gunfire of Thomson's submachine gun and the scream of Mingdi, he understood that this empty city plan could not be sung, and immediately ordered to retreat, At this time, it was only 5 minutes before the emergency telegram was issued, and the communications department wanted to retreat, and the first thing to do was to collect the antenna, so the feedback from Muto Nobuyoshi was that Junichi Takeki's independent mixed 33rd Brigade was lost, and whether Junichi Takeki was killed or retreated, it was certain that Chengde would fall into the hands of the Chinese.

But now the Kwantung Army's total of 4 divisions and less than 100,000 field troops are on the front line of the Great Wall, facing the 200,000 Northeast Army with He Yingqin as the commander-in-chief, it is impossible to transfer any troops back to Chengde, and the number of people in the squadron does not know, just as he was pacing back and forth in the headquarters, Okamura Ninji, the deputy chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, suggested: "Your Excellency, Commander, we don't know at all how many troops have captured Chengde. Even if we have a surplus of troops, we must not rush forward when the enemy's situation is unknown, it is better to send a reserving army to Chengde to test the strength of the Zhinamen, so that no matter who loses or wins, it will not do us any harm. ”

After hearing this, Muto Nobuyoshi nodded and said, "This is the best way, but it is too slow to transfer troops from our side, is there any suitable force on the Great Wall front?" ”

Okamura replied: "The 4th Brigade of the Manchukuo Fighting Army is in the Great Wall area, only about 50 kilometers away from Chengde, and the brigade commander is called Zhang Yiping. ”

"Very good, Okamura-kun, immediately send a report to Xiao Iso-kun, and ask him to send this 4th brigade to recapture Chengde immediately, and tell that Zhang Yiping that he can't take Chengde, and he will engage in military law!" Muto Nobuyoshi said.

"Hay!" Okamura Ninji immediately walked to the communications department.

After receiving the telegram, Koiso Kunizhao, who was on the battlefield of the Great Wall, immediately found Zhang Yiping and asked him to gather troops to quickly attack Chengde. At this time, the sky was not yet bright, Zhang Yiping's 4th Brigade was resting, his front was Fu Zuoyi's 59th Army, although his position was not an important place, but he also needed to have troops to defend, he was replaced by the 102nd Wing of the 41st Brigade under the 8th Division of Xiyiyi, Wing Commander Jixiong Hirano, the 102nd Wing was originally torn off the front line to rest. The process of assembling troops and handing over the defense area consumed two or three hours, and by the time Zhang Yiping set off, it was already completely bright.

Zhang Yiping's side is his little brother Lu Liangbiao, Lu Liangbiao really returned to Zhang Yiping's men after running out of the camp of the volunteers in Xiawan, but the difference is that since he was beaten by the wellhead tree planting and Zhang He talked to him, he no longer has any good feelings about the puppet Manchukuo, and returning to the puppet army is just out of Zhang Yiping's kindness, and he hopes to persuade Zhang Yiping not to work for the Japanese anymore, but he is too naïve, Zhang Yiping is absolutely impossible to really resist Japan, this product is greedy for life and afraid of death, Seeing the villain who forgets his righteousness, even Junichi Takeki never looks at him squarely. In order to persuade Zhang Yiping, Lu Liangbiao had to continue to fight with ** on the battlefield, but this world is not big, Lu Liangbiao met his biological father - Zhang Hongguang, the commander of the 29th Army, on the battlefield of Xifengkou, but after many years, neither father nor son knew anyone, Lu Liangbiao blocked Zhang Hongguang's slash at Zhang Yiping, just this moment, the father and son met for the first time and had a sense of déjà vu, perhaps it was a unique induction between relatives, but no one had time to think deeply on the battlefield, What should I do or what to do, after Lu Liangbiao blocked the knife, he pulled Zhang Yiping and quickly withdrew from the battlefield, Zhang Hongguang didn't catch up and simply didn't chase it, turned around and continued to slash and kill the little devil with a machete. The meeting between father and son ended like this, but the trouble was far from over, what Zhang He said was finally fulfilled, and now Lu Liangbiao's father and his eldest brother Zhang Yiping have become enemies, if he knows, he really has to consider the question of who to help.

Zhang Yiping has been rescued by Lu Liangbiao many times on the battlefield, and Lu Liangbiao is his sworn brother, so he naturally regards him as a cronie, but this cronie can also be abandoned at any time to save his life. In the process of the 4th Brigade going to Chengde, Lu Liangbiao and Zhang Yiping sat in the same car, and Zhang Yiping also had his own considerations about this, on the one hand, he showed that he took Lu Liangbiao as a cronie, and on the other hand, he also knew that the volunteers always liked to ambush, and having Lu Liangbiao and himself in the same car was good to protect himself at a critical moment.

This time he miscalculated, the volunteers really like to ambush well, and the independent regiment Dongfang Yunming also likes it, but this time it was not a bullet that ambushed him, but a cannonball, and even the gods couldn't protect themselves when this thing fell down.

When Dongfang Yunming was asking Chen Yingtian how the artillery was prepared, a platoon of the reconnaissance company reported that a brigade of Zhang Yiping's puppet army was found, but no Japanese troops were found, Dongfang Yunming said: "Hey, his mother's Muto Nobuyoshi is too underestimated about us, so he sent a brigade of the puppet army to Chengde to send him to death?" ”

Chen Yingtian asked with a smile: "Then will our artillery fight?" ”

"Fight, why don't you fight?" Dongfang Yunming said, "'Hit the child and mother out', but don't fire the 105 grenade first, just fire the 75 field artillery, give me a base number, and pay attention to extended shooting and blocking fire when the fire is covered, use the shells to kill as many enemies as possible, and then the third battalion goes up to pursue." ”

"Okay, no problem! Just look at it. Chen Yingtian smiled and said.

Zhang Yiping's troops were still advancing unconsciously, and the reconnaissance company of the Independent Regiment was constantly reporting the location of Zhang's troops to the artillery battalion. Chen Yingtian stared at the map and listened to the report of the reconnaissance company, slowly raised his hand, and Li Yunhai, the deputy battalion commander on the artillery position, also raised the red flag in his hand when he saw the battalion commander's movements, and ordered: "Ten rounds of rapid fire are ready!" "All the field gunners pulled the gun ropes tightly. When Zhang Yiping's forward marched to 2,000m away from the artillery position of the Independent Regiment, Chen Yingtian's hand was put down suddenly, and the red flag in Li Yunhai's hand was also waved down vigorously, ordering: "Release!" ”

Suddenly, 40 75mm field guns roared, dozens of shells accurately fell into the marching ranks of the 4th Brigade, the puppet army that was not prepared at all suddenly suffered a large number of casualties, and those who were lucky not to die also scattered and fled in all directions, saying that they were running in all directions, but in fact, they only ran forward or backward, there were steep slopes on both sides, it was impossible to climb up in this kind of environment where the artillery was full of fire, even if this was the case, Chen Yingtian would not let them run away so easily, So the 75mm grenade with a terrible sonic boom exploded in the middle of the scattered and fleeing puppet army, not only the vanguard in front, even the troops in the rear a few thousand meters were subjected to the artillery battalion's blocking shelling, now the situation of the 4th brigade of the puppet army is that it is surrounded by steep slopes, both sides can not run away, run backwards, there was also a violent explosion in the back, it was completely surrounded by shells on the left and right sides, some of the good psychological quality instinctively chose to rush forward, and the poor psychological quality was directly shocked in place and waiting to be bombed, However, the puppet army that ran to the front also ran a few hundred meters and got into the range of light and heavy machine gun fire of the third battalion of the independent regiment.

As for Zhang Yiping, he should have been a traitor for a long time, and his character was indeed almost consumed, in the first round of shelling, a shell exploded 3 or 4 meters behind the car, and the air wave generated by the explosion directly overturned the car, Lu Liangbiao sat next to Zhang Yiping, in the back row of the car, his character was better, and when he heard the sonic boom produced when the shell was flying, he reflexively rushed to the front row, trying to block the shrapnel of the cannonball flying from front for Zhang Yiping, but he didn't expect the shell to explode behind the car, and the high-speed shrapnel cut directly into Zhang Yiping's right chest, Lu Liangbiao's position was just covered by Zhang Yiping, and he luckily avoided shrapnel, but he was also blown out by the air wave of the cannonball, and fell heavily on the stone in front of the right side of the car, causing two rib fractures, dislocated his right leg and left arm, and when he struggled to get up, a cannonball exploded again on the steep slope on the side of the road, and the strong shock wave directly knocked him out, in fact, he should also be grateful to this cannonball, and the stone above collapsed down and the stone beside him just set up a bunker, So that he escaped the shells behind him and survived.

Feng San and Feng Yi, father and son, took the three battalions to set up a blocking position 1,000 meters away from the artillery position, and the soldiers poked their heads out to observe the situation at the beginning of the shelling, but the dense and fierce artillery fire shook the earth, and soon many soldiers in the third battalion felt dizzy and sick to their stomachs - this is the same principle as motion sickness. However, it is much better than those puppet armies, so when some puppet troops ran to the front desperately, Feng Yi still seized the opportunity to order light and heavy machine guns to fire, and the dense barrage formed a tight fire net in front of the puppet army, and all the puppet troops who hit the fire net fell without exception. The independent regiment captured a lot of German-style weapons in Chengde, including hundreds of ZB-26 and dozens of Makqin, and millions of rounds of ammunition, anyway, it was impossible to move all of them back to the base area, so they were simply used on the battlefield and consumed for training, so the three battalions were divided into 36 ZB-26 and 9 Makqin, which basically reached one light machine gun per squad, and three heavy machine guns per company were organized into a heavy machine gun squad.

The firepower of so dozens of machine guns is very terrifying on both sides of such a narrow road, and after the puppet army that rushed out soon was killed by the machine gun more than 100 people, all the puppet troops retreated, this time they really called the sky should not be, called the ground is not working, the front machine gun, and there are shells in the back, so that the shelling ended after 20 minutes, and when more than 400 soldiers of the third battalion rushed up, they were still lying in place stupidly when they were chasing, Feng San took the shell gun and shouted loudly, "Surrender the gun and don't kill!" When they also handed over the gun woodenly, no one resisted, because Zhang Yiping was killed in the first round of shelling, the troops lost their command, everyone was at a loss, this 4th Brigade was also a unit of the Northeast Army, on the battlefield of the Great Wall, just saw the Japanese army bombing the opposite ** very badly, and they encountered such a situation two years ago when they encountered "918", so when they encountered similar artillery fire as back then, they still carried out the young marshal's non-resistance order, and surrendered directly, Those troops who were really far behind saw that the troops in front were covered by artillery fire like this, and they wanted to rush up at first, but they didn't dare to go up after being hit by the artillery battalion's interrupted shelling, and then they saw the soldiers of the three battalions rushing up, and they didn't even have the courage to fight, even Junichi Takeki hadn't been able to do anything else, so don't come here as cannon fodder, let's run quickly! So the 4th Brigade totaled more than 5,000 people, and less than 2,000 people were left to flee along the road they came.

Twenty minutes later, after the soldiers of the third battalion rushed forward, each of them fired two or three shots, and it was not known whether they hit or not, but when they came back, each of them carried several guns on their backs, and less than 500 people returned to the position with nearly 1,000 prisoners. Seeing so many captives, Dongfang Yunming didn't know what to do for a while, there were more prisoners than combat troops, and it was the first time he had encountered them, so many people, no matter how soft the bones made him angry, he couldn't kill them all, the impact was too bad, he could only order to quickly clean up the battlefield, count the casualties and results, and educate them on the spot, hoping to turn them around on the spot.

To tell the truth, Dongfang Yunming's eloquence is really powerful, it is a fight with Hitler, when he and several other officers with much older qualifications than him competed for the position of commander of the wolf's tooth special operations brigade, during the interview, it took 15 minutes to say that several generals on the examiner's seat had no argument, and then these generals unanimously agreed that this young man who had just entered the wolf's tooth for less than two years was promoted to brigade commander.

The ideological education of these puppet soldiers was carried out for about 5 minutes, and in these 5 minutes, Dongfang Yunming was talking alone, and the more than 900 puppet soldiers all listened to him in a daze, and they did not interact with them like the PLA did back then, and they still remembered bittersweet memories, but after finishing speaking, the puppet soldiers all burst into tears, and they also heard about the achievements of this Eastern Independent Regiment, they were the most active in Rehe for more than a month, and they could fight the Japanese devils every time, and this time they haven't seen their faces. There are more than 2,000 puppet soldiers who died in the shelling by artillery fire, originally they were puppet soldiers and traitors just to eat with their mouths, otherwise who would be willing to let the people point to the backbone and scold, and they had to grovel in front of the little devils, so after being a prisoner, they were scolded and persuaded by Dongfang Yunming to educate them, and more than 700 people immediately expressed their willingness to follow the independent regiment to fight devils, and the remaining 100 people really had no blood and passion, but they were also embarrassed by Dongfang Yunming's words, So they wanted to go home and live in peace, of course, Dongfang Yunming did not stop them, and also gave each person two oceans of travel expenses.

Just as Dongfang Yunming finished his "speech", Feng San and Feng Yi hurriedly walked over with a person and shouted: "Leader, come and see, let's catch a big fish!" ”

Dongfang Yunming heard the shout, and immediately walked over, and when he saw it, this was not Lu Liangbiao, one of his arms and one leg had been dislocated, so he asked with a smile: "Yo, isn't this our big hero 'Wu Song'?" Why did you go back to being a traitor again? And ended up like this? ”
