Chapter 1930: Silent Deterrence

readx;

On 30 July, Zhangjiakou, which had been renovated, ushered in a grand entry ceremony specially prepared by the An Jiajun for all forces. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The red sun rises early in the morning from the eastern horizon, and before nine o'clock, the sun hanging in the air shows its mighty power, everything is shrouded in blazing heat, and the heat wave in the air is churning.

Officers and men who entered the city in advance to maintain order lined up on both sides of the street to guide the people to obey the order, and machine guns were set up at various strategic points inside and outside the city.

At this time, in Tianzhen to the west of Zhangjiakou, Huai'an in the southwest, Xuanhua in the southeast and other places, the battle is still continuing, the Japanese army that withdrew from Zhangjiakou on its own initiative, and the Jin Sui army that drove to the east and the Eighth Route Army that was ready to capture Jiancheng were entangled, the Japanese army did not give up an inch of land, and the battle was extremely fierce, but the strange thing is that on the northern front, the Japanese army was defeated without a fight, and the Sun Desheng Department under the jurisdiction of the Fourth Route Army almost did not take much trouble to take Zhangjiakou.

As the three regiments directly under the Eighth Group Army were stationed in Shenjiatun and Laoyazhuang south of Zhangjiakou, blocking the road for the Japanese army to go north, and the safety of Zhangjiakou's city defense was thoroughly guaranteed, Li Jinlong followed An Yi's order and instructed Sun Desheng to hold a grand entry into the city to deter the surrounding forces.

At this time, the high-level leaders of the Anjia Army had already received a confession from Dr. Suzuki Zhuo, knowing that the Japanese army in North China intended to release water in order to guide the Anjia Army into the customs and completely confuse the situation, so it was not surprising that the Japanese army took the initiative to give up. At the same time, the Military Commissar issued an order requiring all ministries to exercise restraint in their contacts with various forces in the country and not to provoke a civil war. It is the best policy to surrender the army without a fight.

The people of Zhangjiakou were very excited at this time, the taste of being a slave was really not human, and now they were finally liberated, and they were full of expectations for the Anjia Army, which was about to settle in and was known for its benevolence and righteousness, and was very yearning for the life of the legendary Southwest and Nanhua, hoping that one day they could live such a good life.

"All the team—"

"Ready—"

Outside the north gate, a loud trumpet sounded.

More than 11,000 soldiers and soldiers, including the Army Airlines, will appear in different ways. Show the heyday of the Anjia Army, and let people know that this heroic army is fighting back.

"All of them! Led by a phalanx of tanks...... Let's go! ”

As the commander of the entry into the city, Lieutenant General Tang Yuhu, political commissar of the Eighth Group Army, stood high on the command vehicle and gave a loud order to the microphone connected to the megaphone, just as he commanded the operation on the battlefield, raised his arms high, and then swung down forcefully.

"Here we are...... An Jiajun is here......"

"Do you remember the group of soldiers who recuperated in Zhangjiakou six years ago? They are the officers and soldiers of Anjia......"

"Well, those people don't want to be idle. If you have nothing to do, the soldiers who helped build bridges, paved roads, chop wood and carry water are back......"

As the roar of the engine got closer and closer, the crowds on both sides of the main road in Zhangjiakou suddenly stirred, and the atmosphere of the scene, which was originally full of people, suddenly suffocated, and then exploded. The citizens standing in front of them all stood on tiptoe and craned their necks to look north, while the people behind them squeezed desperately forward in order to squeeze out a spot to watch.

"Stand back! Back off! Stand back ......"

Many officers and men held hands, turned their backs to the street, desperately resisting the pressure from the onlookers, and at this time the face of the tanks entering the city at the city gate was clearly visible, and the citizens quickly quieted down. Dumbfounded, he stared at the terrifying steel monster that was rolling in.

"Boom-"

The sound of the tank motor became louder and louder, and the streets and the ground on both sides began to tremble, and the citizens were so excited that their souls seemed to be touched by something. Their eyes were foggy all of a sudden, and they held their breath as they listened to the lovely rhythmic roar......

The sound was sonorous and powerful, like the surging tide of a great river, surging forward, vigorous and unstoppable, and there was a strong rhythm that stirred people's hearts in the depths.

"Wow-"

The tank finally drove in front of them, and the citizens who welcomed them widened their eyes and looked greedily at everything in front of them. Unabashedly heartfelt admiration.

"Look! It's a tank! It's our own tank Chinese, much taller and more powerful than the devil's tank......"

"yes. It's so spectacular, I suspect that the devil's tank will be crushed immediately if it hits it......"

With the voice of emotion and exclamation. One after another, camouflage-painted tanks appeared in the citizens' field of vision, and twenty-four Leopard I tanks that came calmly drove past the citizens in a very shocking manner amid the hoarse roars of the citizens.

The Eighth Army was not a specialized tank unit, and even if there was a tank division in the establishment, the tanks of the subordinate regiments were not consistent, and there were various models from Leopard I, Leopard II to Tiger I, and even Wolf light tanks in each regiment. Although the Leopard I tank is relatively backward, it is much better than the kind of Japanese bean chariot that the citizens of Zhangjiakou have seen, so the exclamation is from the heart, not a meaty touting.

The roar of the tank engine was like rolling thunder on the ground, and as the rumbling sound continued to sound in the ears, people felt that both the ground, the surrounding air, and even their own internal organs trembled.

The rolling steel torrent, in the eyes of the citizens of Zhangjiakou full of curiosity and awe, slowly moving forward, the commanders in black tank suits, regardless of the scorching sun overhead, stood on the turret with solemn faces, saluted the citizens of Zhangjiakou on both sides of the street.

Although the Anjia Army knew from the newspapers and radio, the Anjia Army, which fought in North China six years ago, did not know that it was difficult to deal with the big guys at first glance, and the people of Zhangjiakou were excited to see for the first time a domestically produced tank designed and produced by the Chinese themselves. In their minds, this group of tanks is mighty, and just from the outside, it gives people a terrifying feeling full of powerful and destructive power, if it really drives into battle. And what army can resist it?

The people standing in the front row bent down slightly at the signal of the officers and soldiers on duty, and looked at the steel beasts painted with the logo of the Eighth Army with awe-inspiring eyes one by one.

Twenty-four Leopard I tanks passed, followed by forty-eight Leopard II tanks.

In terms of appearance, the Leopard II tank is more powerful than the Leopard I tank due to the enlarged hull and thickened and lengthened barrel. And because of the narrow streets, the tanks can only come one after another, and no matter which direction you look at, the slowly approaching tanks seem to be endless, and the violent beauty of this steel pile is unforgettable.

The commanders standing on the turret of the Type II tank were still unsmiling, and they saluted solemnly, not squinting, and let beads of sweat the size of beans seep out. His eyes were soaked with salty sweat and he didn't move, showing great self-control.

To the average onlooker, these tanks are tall and have beveled and angular armor surfaces. The shiny green, brown, black, and yellow colors that reflect off the sunlight, especially the variegated cannon barrels, pointing diagonally ahead, all give people a creepy sense of oppression, while constantly reminding them that these steel behemoths are elaborate killing machines.

In the eyes of those who have a heart, it is even more terrifying, and there is a huge sense of oppression when so many tanks rumble. It is impossible to understand it without facing it directly. In the past, when I heard how powerful the tank units of the An Jia Army were, I couldn't imagine in my mind, so I could only artificially imagine groups of pictures and then talk about them on paper.

But the departments come and go. Finally, it is believed that the superiority of tanks can be effectively avoided by setting up anti-tank trenches and choosing to fight in mountainous and forest areas. But now the question is if the number of tanks in the An Jia army seems to be too much, then the question arises, what to do about fighting in the plains? Do you want to give up the best territory to each other?

After the Leopard II tank passed, sixteen Tiger I tanks appeared, and when this mighty steel beast approached, all the onlookers were taken aback, stunned, and let out almost dreamlike moans and amazements.

The Tiger I tank is too big. It is 3.5 meters wide and 2.35 meters high. The total weight is 46 tons, and the crawlers rumble over the ground during the drive. It was like a hill pressing down, and just the mighty Tiger I tank at the head had already attracted the attention of everyone on both sides of the street, and now in front of people was a huge sixteen such behemoths, and the shocking feeling like seeing a prehistoric giant beast made everyone stunned and completely petrified.

The 750-horsepower diesel engine of the Tiger I tank roared evenly and low, and the exhaust pipe spewed out a lot of green smoke, and because of the hot weather, there was not even a slightest wind, so that the moving tank was shrouded in a thin layer of cyan smoke, which seemed to enhance the fabulous live effect.

The people tried to widen their eyes and desperately look at the tanks, as if they wanted to keep what they saw in front of them forever in the depths of their memories. For people of this era, it is difficult to see new things due to the long-term confinement of one region, and what we see today is almost more than the sum of a lifetime's knowledge, and perhaps all this will become a topic of discussion for a long time in the future.

Not far from the city gate, there is a two-story building used as a tea shop, at this time the word "closed" is hung at the door of the shop on the ground floor, which makes many Zhangjiakou citizens who want to watch the second floor of the teahouse condescendingly watch An Jiajun enter the city. On the quiet second floor, five or six tea guests sitting by the window were shocked when they saw the tank passing by, and one of them asked in a trembling voice: "This is the Tiger I tank revealed in the intelligence?" ”

One of the companions took a sip of saliva and nodded with difficulty: "That's right! ”

"How can I destroy this tank?" Another asked.

"The intelligence said that it was necessary to shoot the front armor directly with a large-caliber cannon, the closer the distance, the better, or simply go around the rear of the tank and attack its weak point with a bazooka. However, if it is attacked by a tank cluster on the plains, this kind of heavy tank covered by Leopard II tanks and armored fighting vehicles is almost insoluble......"

The military experts in charge of the commentary were caught in a strong shock and couldn't extricate themselves, muttering to themselves, greedily staring at this highly industrialized production of a sharp weapon.

The rest of the tea guests were silent.

At this time, the long queue of tanks finally passed, followed by the Type II and Type III armored fighting vehicle platoons, as well as the armored personnel carrier platoon, the combat vehicles were rolling endlessly, except for a few people with ulterior motives, the rest of the people who saw this scene all rose a strong sense of pride - this is our own mechanized army of Chinese!

As the convoy passed, an infantry squadron of 1,600 officers and men, marching to a neat beat, shining steel helmets, marching forward with their guns held high, which attracted people's attention.

These selected officers and soldiers, who were of the same height and pace, were young, spirited, mighty, and full of vitality, and instantly conquered the hearts of most of the girls in the city who watched the entrance to the city with their spirit. In these chaotic war years, they were so fascinated by the things that these valiant soldiers had shown, the tense faces, the cold glow of the barrels and bayonets, that they felt that if they could have such a husband, their bleak lives would be rejuvenated and they would have a truly safe harbor.

In the teahouse, the atmosphere is becoming more and more suffocating.

"These infantrymen are not simple, you see that when they advance with bayonets, the bayonets are less than ten centimeters from the back of the head of the person in front of them, and this effect would never have been achieved without the usual rigorous training and extreme trust in their partners. In the past few years, our troops have been expanding, but the regularized military training has not been able to be carried out systematically, and if we are against them, even if we do not have those tanks and armored vehicles to help us fight, we are not sure of victory! ”

Speaking of this man who has led troops to fight for many years, his explanation made the people in the teahouse very uneasy, but the entry of the An family army into Zhangjiakou is a foregone conclusion, and no one knows how the situation will evolve next.

Outside the window, the armored assault guns, tank destroyers, anti-aircraft artillery vehicles, self-propelled guns, and large-caliber heavy artillery pulled by trucks of the An Jiajun appeared one after another, and the onlookers of Zhangjiakou became more and more excited, and many people began to chant various slogans, especially "Long live An Jiajun", "Long live Chairman An" and other slogans, which made the people in the teahouse fidget, and their hearts were not a taste.

The last to appear was the three helicopter squadrons of the Army Airlines, when forty-five helicopter gunships flew low above the gatehouse in the north of the city, and the huge strong wind from the high-speed rotation of the propellers swept the people on the ground, and the people in the teahouse could no longer sit still.

"With this kind of flying weapon, even in the mountains that we regard as a magic weapon, the enemy can call this weapon, hover over his head and fire......"

The middle-aged man who wore glasses and a Mao suit and looked a little rich stood up: "The situation is very bad, we must report what we see to the central government, it is not the best strategy to fight against the An family's army, and we must focus on peaceful settlement......
