China purchased anti-aircraft artillery from Germany around 1934, and by 1938, when Germany stopped exporting weapons to China, China had imported about 500 anti-aircraft guns and 550,000 shells from Germany. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The first time the anti-aircraft artillery resisted the Japanese army was in the Battle of Songhu, in the face of the impact of the Japanese tanks, the anti-aircraft artillery could tear through the thin skin armor of the Japanese Type 89 medium tank 500 meters away, which surprised the Japanese army. In the battle for the main place in the north of Shanghai, there were even seven or eight Japanese tanks that did not dare to attack a 37-mm anti-aircraft gun of the Chinese army.

The Battle of Taierzhuang was one of the most brilliant anti-aircraft artillery performances, as the Chinese army used it to destroy 13 Japanese tanks, so much so that the Japanese called it "a terrible weapon that made the tank (tank) soldiers cry".

However, under the long-term combat attrition, the Chinese army's combat defense artillery gradually became somewhat "inadequate", especially the Japanese army's superior artillery firepower and infantry grenadiers, which caused great losses to the Chinese combat defense artillery units. Because the effective range of the anti-aircraft artillery was too close, it had to be deployed on the front line to be effective, and it was easily suppressed by the Japanese long-range artillery and mortars and infantry grenadiers.

By the end of the Battle of Wuhan in 1938, the number of anti-aircraft artillery had been sharply reduced to the lowest level, and although the remaining artillery continued to participate in several battles, it no longer performed brilliantly.

The use of anti-aircraft guns, or the use of direct-fire guns, in street battles, is, of course, Yang Tianfeng's unique idea. Without submachine guns and grenades, this street fighting money is not exchanged, and the use of artillery in street fighting is also an advanced experience. In addition, Yang Tianfeng also asked Sun Tongxuan to transfer a batch of explosives and urgently replenish ammunition for the cottage heavy artillery company.

The more Yang Tianfeng wanted this and that, the more Sun Tongxuan felt that he was serious and willing to work, and he really wanted to do his best when attacking Kaifeng.

Time flies quickly, a few days are fleeting, although Yang Tianfeng is not very satisfied, but there is no way to do it. It is easy to put forward new tactics, and whether officers and soldiers can skillfully use them and whether they can achieve the desired results can only be tested through long-term running-in training and actual combat.

Judging from the intelligence of all parties, Yang Tianfeng believes that the precautions of the Japanese army in Kaifeng are relatively lax, and the garrison is relatively scattered, and street fighting is one of the ways to partially offset the fighting quality of the devils.

In addition to the disgusting tenacity of the devils, in addition to the lack of heavy weapons in the Third Army, in addition to the lack of cunning in the siege, in addition to the relatively tight time, the historical futility of returning, it seems that there is no more reason.

As long as the city can be broken quickly and the assault group can enter the city, even if the tactics are not well executed, it will only be a chaotic situation. The assault regiment, whose firepower has been greatly strengthened, plus the reinforcement troops, will fight in chaos, and how much loss can it suffer if it has an advantage in numbers?

On the night of the 30th, the attack on Kaifeng began, and the mixed division crossed the New Yellow River at the two ferries of Xiaopanzhuang in Zhongmu and Luguan in Wei's respectively, and arrived at the predetermined place to camp.

On the evening of the 31st, the troops secretly entered the assembly area under the cover of night. Although it was the 11th day of the second lunar month, the sky was beautiful, and the thick clouds covered the moonlight, providing excellent concealment conditions for our army's operations. A force of more than 10,000 people approached the city, and the Japanese troops defending the city were unaware.

According to the original plan, the mixed division would storm the railway station (south of Kaifeng City) and Nanguan, the two targets were not far apart, and they were both important locations, and the total number of Japanese troops stationed there was more than 400.

Yang Tianfeng's changed plan was for the troops of the two regiments to feint the railway station to contain the enemy defending Nanguan, and sabotage the railway to block the Japanese troops who might be supported by the railway; The assault regiment and the reserve regiment attacked from the Song Gate in the east, and if they were quickly successful, the assault regiment would advance to the north and attack the enemy headquarters (Henan University) in the northeast corner of the city, while the reserve regiment would leave one battalion to hold the Song Gate, and the rest of the troops would advance to the south to flank the enemy at Nanguan and meet the friendly forces outside the city.

Compared with Nanguan, the defenders of Caomen in the east of the city and Songmen in the southeast of the city were not many and were relatively easy to capture. Due to the high walls of Caomen City and the open area in front, it is difficult for our army to attack this gate without combat support. The Song Gate, known as the small east gate, has a length of two miles and a width of two miles, and there are many houses, which are conducive to concealing and providing cover, so it has become the first choice for attack.

In Yang Tianfeng's mind, when the People's Liberation Army attacked Kaifeng, after being frustrated at the south gate, it also made a breakthrough from the Song Gate and attacked the city. Moreover, from the beginning of the attack to the opening of the breach, it took less than two hours.

Kaifeng after the Japanese occupation is of course not the same as the permanent and semi-permanent city fortifications of Kaifeng after major repairs during the Liberation War. Even so, Yang Tianfeng still carried forward the consistent purpose of intrigue and intrigue and outwitting, and staged a good show of seizing the city in Songmen.

Long before arriving in Zhengzhou, according to the information collected by the military commander and the detectives of the Third Group Army, Yang Tianfeng noticed that in addition to the big fish of Maeda Osamu Maeda, the commander of the 31st Division, there was another figure in Kaifeng City that was no less than him.

Yoshikawa Sadasa, after graduating from the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School, began his career as a special agent, and soon transferred to the Department of Kenji Dohihara, the chief secret agent, in charge of intelligence investigation work, and was praised for his "super ability". At the beginning of 1939, he was appointed director of the secret services of the five provinces in North China.

Yoshikawa Sadazo moved the secret service to the Shanshaan-Gansu Hall in the ancient city of Kaifeng, where he commanded the activities of Japanese puppet spies in various parts of North China. In order to retaliate against the continuous assassination and eradication of traitors by the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, Yoshikawa Sadasa, after taking office, regarded the sabotage of anti-Japanese organizations and the frenzied arrest of underground anti-Japanese elements as a major matter. On one occasion, he ordered the killing of more than 120 Chinese anti-Japanese fighters, and he was a demon whose hands were stained with the blood of the Chinese people.

Historically, Yoshikawa Sadazo was assassinated by agents of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in 1940, ending the life of a dog who did many evils. But now, this demon is still sitting in Kaifeng, and his secret service makes the anti-war soldiers hate, and the people are terrified, and even Maeda Osamu of the 35th Division wants to give him three points.

Because, Yoshikawa Sadazo also has a special identity, the nephew of Emperor Showa of Japan. This made him have a smooth career, became a major general, and served as the head of the secret service of the five provinces in North China.

Therefore, Yoshikawa Sadazo and his special service team were quite arrogant in Kaifeng, and the special pass issued by the secret service was better than that issued by the headquarters. In order to arrest the anti-Japanese elements in Kaifeng and the surrounding towns and villages, the special forces were active outside, often carrying special passes to go out of the city at night and enter the city, using cars, motorcycles, or bicycles as tools to attack and arrest anti-Japanese fighters.

Yang Tianfeng keenly discovered this loophole, which may not be a flaw, and discussed and studied it with Ma Yuming and other military commanders, and made relevant preparations. When he arrived in Zhengzhou, he made up the props for Sun Tongxuan, and now he can officially act.

At 3:45 a.m., a noisy sound sounded in the Songmen City Pass, with more than a dozen bicycles in front and a mule cart behind, as if no one was around until the city gate.

"Open the door quickly, there are wounded people who need immediate treatment." Yang Tianfeng didn't even bother to show off the forged special pass, and shouted at the city arrogantly: "Call Your Excellency Ji Chuan immediately, the bandit leader Niu Zilong and others have been caught, and they will be interrogated immediately after they are solved." ”

"Can I have a holiday tomorrow, I want to go to Jinshui (comfort station) to relax." Han Wenping didn't look at the city, and only spoke to Yang Tianfeng flatteringly.

Yang Tianfeng waved his hand and reprimanded impatiently: "I'll talk about the offense after the trial." Isn't it a shame to say this at this time? ”

The searchlight swept over a dozen spies, some of whom cautiously did not dare to look at their faces, and finally stopped on the mule cart, where the two big tyed men were lying on the weeds, and they could even vaguely see the unkempt hair of the two and the blood stains on their faces. One of the wounded, with white bandages around his head and arms, leaned on the side of the car.

The attitude of no one in sight, the pure Japanese, the well-designed script, and the perfect performance...... None of this raises the slightest question.

The suspension bridge fell, but it was only an outer trench with a depth and width, and there was no moat at the Xiaosong Gate. The gates creaked open, only half of them. Yang Tianfeng waved his hand, and the group entered the gloomy and dark doorway, but they did not pass through quickly, this should be a flaw, but it was too late for the devil to have doubts.

Bah, Bah, Bah...... In the doorway, Yang Tianfeng and the others went on a killing spree, pulling out a pistol equipped with a silencer, which sounded like opening a champagne bottle, and the five devils who opened the door were shot in the head one after another and were helped to the ground.

More than half of the success! Yang Tianfeng knew that Xiao Song Gate was defended by only one squad of devils, but it was estimated that there was only about one squad on duty at night.

Kill the devils who opened the door, more than a dozen "spies", as well as the "prisoners" and "wounded" on the mule cart, all of them were vigorous and swift, picking up all kinds of weapons on their bodies and under the weeds, and a few silent shell guns hit the forwards and rushed out of the dark gate. Inside the doorway, a flashlight turned on and shot a beam of light out of the city.

Bah, Bah, Bah...... In the muffled sound of gunfire, fifteen people, in groups of three, rushed out of the door, and split up on both sides of the city gate, shooting at sight, like ghosts that suddenly appeared in the darkness.

Outside the city, Dong Wanxuan, whose hands were already sweating, finally saw the signal, and with a wave of his hand, a large group of people appeared from the hidden place and ran towards the city gate quickly.

The near-silent battle was not all smooth sailing, and the real gunfire finally rang out. has been exposed, Yang Tianfeng and the others have no reservations, full firepower, shotguns, flower traps, and grenade launchers are also fired one after another, rushing to kill more fiercely.

Boom, boom! Two explosions rang out in the two bunkers on the inside of the city gate, and the awakened devil was blown to pieces before a single bullet could be fired.

Da Da Da ...... A few flower traps spat out tongues of fire, shooting dense bullets at the devils who came from all over the place.

The sound of gunfire was the signal, and the troops in the south of the city immediately launched an attack on the railway station. The sound of explosions, gunshots, and shouts of killing shook this ancient historical city that had gone through vicissitudes, and once again witnessed the heroic struggle of the Chinese people to resist the invasion.
