Chapter Eighty-Three: Reinforcements Arrive
"Phew!" Sabuli led the cavalry regiment to the southern suburbs of Shenyang.
happened to see that extremely shocking scene, in the direction of Sujiatun's military position, huge flames rose into the air along with thick smoke.
The fire almost broke through the sky.
"Commander, what are we going to do?" A cavalryman asked.
"Wait until the bombing is over, damn it, is this the air force of our Northeast Army? So powerful? Sabuli said with a shocked look on his face as he looked at the group of planes that were still circling in the sky and diving, strafing and bombing.
On the wall of the south gate, Zhang Xinghan and a group of guards were also enjoying the performance of the air team, although they had already been mentally prepared.
But when he saw the devastating blow displayed by the air team, Zhang Xinghan still gasped.
The power of the German fighter is truly extraordinary.
"Brigade seat, a brigade of cavalry was found in the southern suburbs, it seems that our reinforcements have arrived." At this time, a soldier hurried up to the city to report.
"What?" Zhang Xinghan hurriedly raised the telescope and looked due south.
I saw that on the plain in the southern suburbs, a large group of cavalry appeared under black pressure.
"Great, Commander Sa's cavalry regiment has arrived." Zhang Xinghan was excited, and immediately turned his head to Shen Yizhi: "Pass my order, the air force will continue to carry out air strikes against the enemy in front of Sujiatun, the newly formed 1st and 3rd regiments, Wang Yicai's 3rd regiment, Liu Jianguo's 1st and 2nd battalions, Liu Guodong's 3rd regiment, and the cavalry armored company directly under the brigade headquarters, the guard company immediately assembled in the direction of Sujiatun and prepared to launch a counteroffensive against the Yue army.
In addition, immediately send someone to contact Commander Sa and tell him that please lead the cavalry regiment to cooperate with our armored cavalry company to carry out a surprise attack, and this battle will definitely defeat the Kwantung Army in one fell swoop! ”
"Yes!" Shen Xingye stepped forward and led the order to rush down to the city.
Soon, one regiment and two battalions in the city, all the guard battalions, the armored cavalry company, and the remnants of Liu Guodong's regiment in the west of the city began to gather to the south of the city.
On the position of the newly formed regiment in Sujiatun, after receiving the order, the officers and men began to load their bayonets, prepare grenades, and fill their rifles with bullets.
"Captain Sa... Commander Sabuli..."Sabuli was waiting for the right moment when a cavalryman rushed from the direction of Shenyang City and beckoned.
Sabuli rode his horse a few steps forward, and the cavalry had already rushed to him, and he saluted on his horse: "You are the commander of the cavalry regiment of the reinforcements, Commander Sabuli." ”
"Exactly." Sabuli replied with a grip on the reins.
"I am ordered by the commander of the Shenyang City Defense and the commander of the Shenyang Garrison Brigade to inform Commander Sa that our unit will launch a counterattack on the whole line of the army after the air raid, and our brigade seat implores the commander to lead the cavalry to assemble on the west bank of the Hunhe River and cooperate with our armored troops to carry out a surprise attack." The cavalry made it clear.
"Okay, please report back to Commander Zhang, Sabuli will resolutely cooperate and go immediately." Sabuli nodded in agreement without the slightest hesitation.
After the cavalry saluted, they turned their horses and rode away.
Sabuli raised his whip and shouted, "Give me orders, and the whole regiment will follow me." ”
…………………………
At Shenyang's Beiling Airport, the third wave of mixed aircraft finally ended the bombing of the Yue army and returned to the airport.
As soon as they returned, Liu Cuigang, the leader of the first detachment, led the remaining seventy or eighty BF109 fighters to take off one after another, and the troops flew straight to Sujiatun and Niujiatun on the east bank of the South Canal in two directions.
At the same time, Liaoyang County is in the military police headquarters of the army.
Seishiro Itagaki and Ishihara looked at the two new weapons on the table with great curiosity.
One Garand semi-automatic rifle, one MG34 general-purpose machine gun.
Seishiro Itagaki picked up the Garand semi-automatic rifle, looked at it, turned his head and asked, "Kawamoto-kun, is this the new weapon you are talking about?" What's so special about it? ”
"Yes, this rifle has a capacity of eight rounds, three more than the Imperial Army's Type 38 rifle, and the biggest advantage is that he can shoot continuously, and his continuous firepower is comparable to that of a submachine gun." Shiro Kawamoto said as he took the Garand rifle from Seishiro Itagaki and opened the safety and pulled the bolt.
Turning to the sky outside, he began to pull the trigger.
"Bang Bang Bang ......" Shiro Kawamoto pulled the trigger continuously until all eight bullets in the chamber of the gun were emptied, and then stopped.
Ishihara and Itagaki Seishiro looked at each other in astonishment, and when they walked over, Itagaki Seishiro was shocked and said, "Which country's new weapon is this?" Able to shoot continuously? This allows for a much faster rate of fire than the Imperial Army's hand-held rifles. ”
"The gun has English on it, so I think it was made in Britain and the United States." Shiro Kawamoto said.
"Anglo-American? Their weapons are already so advanced? Seishiro Itagaki said in surprise.
"And what about this machine gun? What's the difference? Ishihara turned around and pointed to the MG34 general-purpose machine gun on the table and said, "Is it also British and American equipment?" ”
"No, this machine gun is German-style equipment, I had the pleasure of seeing it when I was studying in Berlin, but this one seems to be more advanced than what I saw in Berlin, his rate of fire is amazing, the rate of fire in a single minute reaches **100 rounds, it can be used as a light machine gun, and it can also be used as a heavy machine gun." Kawamoto replied.
Seishiro Itagaki and Ishihara Waner gasped when they heard this, they are both professional soldiers, a machine gun can be used as a light machine gun, and it can be used as a heavy machine gun, with a rate of fire of ** hundred rounds per minute, they know very well what this means? How much horror is this.
Because the rate of fire of the heavy machine gun they were proud of was less than half that of the general-purpose machine gun in front of them.
"No wonder the 6th Division can't be attacked for a long time, and there will be such heavy casualties, such machine gun fire is simply a disaster for the attacking side." Ishihara said thoughtfully.
"Itagaki-kun, Kawamoto-kun, have you ever thought about it, how could the Northeast Army in Shenyang have weapons and equipment from both Germany and Britain and the United States? According to the information we have, Zhang Xuehao seems to have never imported such weapons and equipment. "Ishihara Wanerdao.
"Ishihara-kun, I think that these are the affairs of the intelligence department, we should report this situation to the base camp, and ask the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to contact the United States and Germany, if this rifle is American, we must find a way to introduce it, not to mention the machine gun, it must be introduced, in order to improve the light and heavy machine guns of the Imperial Army." Shiro Kawamoto said with his opinion.
"Kawamoto-kun is right, investigating intelligence is a matter of the special high class." Seishiro Itagaki said as he took the Garand rifle from Shiro Kawamoto's hand, looked at it with love and muttered to himself, "I hope such a good weapon is not British, otherwise, it will be difficult for us to obtain." ”
At this moment, a communications lieutenant ran in with a panicked look, and before saluting, he reported to the three of them: "Sir, no, it's not good. ”
"Yaga? What are you panicking about? What's going on? Seishiro Itagaki was very dissatisfied with the performance of the communications lieutenant and scolded him coldly.
"Sir, the people of China still have the air force, and the combat power is stronger than before, the air force we sent out has been annihilated, the attacks of the 6th Division and the 2nd Division have all been frustrated, and the current China Air Force is unscrupulously attacking the positions of our divisions and regiments, and the situation is very critical!" The Corresponding Lieutenant bowed his head and reported.
"Nani?" Itagaki Seishiro's face stiffened, his eyes revealing disbelief, and he suddenly grabbed the collar of the communications lieutenant and roared, "What are you talking about?" Hasn't the airfield of the Chinese people been completely destroyed by the imperial army? The Air Force from where they came out? ”
After saying this, Itagaki Seishiro turned his gaze to Kawamoto Shiro again, Kawamoto Shiro trembled, and hurriedly explained: "Itagaki-kun, I can swear in the honor of my soldiers that I and my commando team have successfully destroyed the entire East Tower Airport, including the hundreds of fighters inside, which can be corroborated by the forward troops of the 2nd Division. ”
