The student army defending the north courtyard wall of Nanyuan shot and killed two Japanese soldiers lurking in the sorghum field, and everyone was extremely happy.

But Deputy Army Commander Tong and Division Commander Zhao, who were watching all this happen, were really not happy, first, because hundreds of people fired a total of hundreds of shots before they were lucky enough to kill two Japanese soldiers.

The second is because it is only the enemy's spearhead that has been killed, and soon the enemy will attack in full force.

And the conjecture of the two generals was very correct, and while the student army was still celebrating enthusiastically, the first wave of Japanese attacks came.

And the first wave of Japanese attacks caused chaos on the defenders of Nanyuan.

It turned out that after the Japanese soldiers returned to their positions again, they had already reported the defensive data of the north courtyard wall of Nanyuan to the Japanese headquarters.

This time, hundreds of heavy artillery pieces of Japanese artillery bombarded dozens of military camps in Nanyuan for an hour at the very beginning. An hour of shelling razed dozens of barracks and hundreds of buildings to the ground.

More importantly, the north courtyard wall, which was the main direction of the Japanese army's attack, was taken care of by the Japanese army. The wall of several hundred meters collapsed, and hundreds of student soldiers who could not escape were killed on the spot.

Then, before the living student soldiers could recover from the pain of losing their comrades, the Japanese infantry attack began, and hundreds of Japanese soldiers had already touched the edge of the north courtyard wall of Nanyuan.

Fortunately, when the two generals came to inspect the student army, they brought a company of veterans to help in the battle, and this veteran who had participated in the Great Wall War of Resistance was the first to rush from the trench to the defensive position on the wall after the cannon fire stopped.

Then it was these veterans who discovered the Japanese army in front of them for the first time, and more than a hundred veterans immediately pulled the trigger for revenge. The new rifle bullets were fired in anger by everyone, and many Japanese soldiers were immediately shot and fell to the ground.

Soldiers on both sides immediately engaged in a shootout, and the Japanese attackers, numbering several hundred, were prostrate in the sorghum field in front of them while firing at the wall of the north courtyard.

Fortunately, the north courtyard wall is very strong, and at the same time, the combat skills of the veterans are also very old-fashioned, and the marksmanship is more poisonous. Hundreds of Japanese soldiers actually let more than 100 veterans of the 132nd Division be nailed to death under the wall of the north courtyard.

It was at this time that the more than 1,000 student troops, who had finally recovered from the confusion of the early days of the war, finally began to re-ascend the north courtyard wall one by one, although their marksmanship was still inaccurate. But suddenly, thousands of firepower points appeared on the north courtyard wall, which still startled the attacking Japanese army.

After dozens of minutes of firing and discovering that it was not the defender's opponent, the attacking hundreds of Japanese soldiers retreated back to the Japanese position after throwing down more than 100 corpses.

The first wave of Japanese attacks was repulsed, the squadron leader in charge of the attack was severely criticized by the group leader, and soon the second wave of attacks began.

This time, the Japanese attacked with a squadron of soldiers, but in front of these soldiers there were ten tanks and armored vehicles to clear the way.

I saw that ten tanks and armored vehicles were constantly crushing the sorghum outside the north courtyard wall in a roar of arrays, and hundreds of newly attacking Japanese soldiers followed the tanks more than ten meters back and slowly advanced towards Nanyuan.

The student army who saw tanks for the first time was not afraid of the tanks in front of them at first, such a big target was so easy to fight, almost every shot could hit these big guys.

However, when the student army realized that the bullets from their guns had no effect on the monsters in front of them, the student soldiers began to panic.

At the same time, these tanks and armored vehicles were shelling as they advanced, and soon sections of the courtyard wall were shattered by these tanks, and dozens of soldiers of the student army lost their lives again.

The blood of their comrades infuriated all the student troops who were still alive, and they did not collapse after heavy casualties like other recruits.

I saw my classmates who grew up together being torn to pieces by the enemy's artillery fire, and I saw the lives of my comrades-in-arms who trained with me losing their lives one by one in front of me.

The student army was completely furious, they were even more desperate than when the battle first started, and many of them forgot even the basic dodge. One by one, they stood behind the wall and fought back like crazy.

At this time, the student army suffered heavy casualties, because the Japanese soldiers hiding behind the tanks began to name the student soldiers standing on the wall one by one.

At this time, the Japanese soldiers were all veterans of a hundred battles, and their marksmanship was very accurate. If it weren't for the poor view of the Gaoliang Ground today, and the thick smoke rising from the Gaoliang Ground that was on fire due to artillery fire, which seriously obstructed the line of sight of the attacking Japanese troops, I am afraid that the casualties of the student army would have been even more serious.

The student army, which had suffered heavy casualties, had to take refuge for a while, and the attack power was greatly reduced for a while.

Just when the attacking Japanese army felt the weakening of the attack of the student army and was overjoyed, a dozen explosions suddenly roared.

Ten tanks and armored vehicles responsible for opening the way ahead were blown to pieces by an unknown explosion.

Seeing that the tanks and armored vehicles in front of them were being blown apart one by one, the Japanese troops immediately retreated and did not continue the attack for a long time.

It turned out that when a large number of Japanese troops were shooting at the student army at the wall, the veterans of the 132nd Division sent a small group of daredevils.

One by one, these people secretly lurked in the sorghum field where the Japanese tanks were marching, and when the tanks passed by, they threw the cluster grenades in their hands under the tanks.

Only then did there be a dozen loud explosions, and only then did ten tanks and armored vehicles be blown to pieces. The frightened Japanese army thought that the Chinese army had some secret weapon and immediately withdrew.

The squadron leader of the Japanese army reported the news of the bombing of the tank to the Japanese captain in charge of the attack, and the Japanese captain did not understand why his tank exploded for no reason.

If it had been caused by a Chinese mine, the first probing attack would not have detonated without a single mine.

Therefore, the Japanese captain immediately reported the news that the Chinese army had tanks that could destroy the Japanese to the commander of the 20th Division in Korea, who was in charge of the attack.

When Captain Sakai heard the news, he personally led his troops to reinforcements. When Captain Sakai saw in the telescope a large area of sorghum land at the north wall of Nanyuan Airport. He grabbed the captain in charge of the attack this time and slapped two loud slaps.

He reprimanded angrily: "The sorghum land in front of you has a big bad sight, and there can be a lot of people inside." Then he kicked the captain in front of him away.

The order said: "Immediately send a telegram to the air force, and ask them to send planes to drop incendiary bombs to burn all the sorghum ground and the north courtyard wall in front of them, and we will annihilate the Chinese defenders in one fell swoop." ”

As soon as Wing Commander Sakai answered his order, several Japanese captains around him immediately took the order, and they each prepared to launch a full-scale attack immediately after the bombing of the planes.

Commander Tong and Division Commander Zhao of the 29th Army saw that the Japanese army had suspended the offensive, and they also estimated that the enemy might move heavy firepower again. The two led the student army to continue repairing the fortifications while digging deep anti-artillery holes.

The bloody battle had just begun, and the student army had already suffered one-third casualties here, so Division Commander Zhao immediately transferred a battalion of troops from the other three defensive forces to supplement the student army in the north.

Although the north side of Nanyuan Airport was the focus of the Japanese attack, the Japanese attack on the other three sides should not be underestimated.

The reason why the Japanese army chose the direction of the student army in the north for this attack was because they had obtained information from Pan Yugui, a traitor in Beiping and also the director of the administrative department of the 29th Army, before the attack.

Knowing that the defense force north of the 29th Army of Nanyuan Airport was weak, the people in charge of guarding it were all student troops who had just joined the army for a few days and couldn't even shoot accurately.

That's why the Japanese army chose the north as the main direction of attack, who knew that after a short period of panic, these student armies entered the role of soldiers so quickly, after the first two counterattacks, these student army's counterattacks became more and more powerful, and their marksmanship became more and more accurate.

In the middle of the battle, the two generals, Commander Tong and Division Commander Zhao, cordially expressed their condolences to the wounded of these student troops, even after the bloody lessons, many student soldiers still thought that they could easily defeat the Japanese army in front of them.

A student soldier even said in front of Commander Tong: "We Chinese have 400 million, but the Japanese only have 70 million, and the total number of our Chinese is six times that of them, can't we six Chinese beat a single Japanese?" ”

Looking at the many student troops in front of him who held this viewpoint, Commander Tong explained to everyone: "Brave soldiers, modern warfare is not something that can be won by a large number of people, and a well-trained and well-equipped team of 1,000 people can easily defeat 10,000 enemies.

If the commander of this well-equipped unit had commanded and tactically acted correctly, they could have defeated even a hundred thousand enemies.

The current situation in China is that most of our troops are improvised strong men, and the soldiers are not adequately trained, let alone qualified commanders.

And how many people do such a unit of ours need to be able to fight a well-trained and well-equipped Japanese soldier? ”

"So what, we have a lot of Chinese, a lot of soldiers, and the consumption also consumes the Japanese." Another student soldier raised a question.

Commander Tong smiled: "Who said that we have more Chinese soldiers than the Japanese?" Our Chinese are more numerous than the Japanese, but our soldiers are definitely not as many as the Japanese. ”

"How is this possible? Our China has been fighting wars for many years, and which warlord in various places does not have tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, like the original Northeast Army and Northwest Army, which all have hundreds of thousands of troops, do the Japanese also have so many troops? Another student soldier who knows more about China asked.

"Yes, we read in the newspapers that there are only 400,000 troops in Japan. And our regular army has 1.7 million, can't so many regular troops defeat a mere 400,000 Japanese troops? The student army asked, who was more aware of the situation.
