In fact, Du Mura Zongyi was not wronged at all when he lost, and the soldiers of Ma Zheng's department were not mortars on their shoulders at all, but individual anti-tank weapon rocket launchers. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The rocket launcher is arguably the first weapon of infantry anti-tank, used to strike tanks, armored vehicles, infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel transporters, military equipment and destroy fortifications at close range. In terms of close-range anti-armor, it is far more powerful than any kind of anti-tank rifle or artillery.

It's no wonder that Soichi Tomura recognized bazookas as mortars, as only a few countries' troops have been equipped with this new weapon.

Ma Zheng knew that the Kwantung Army was equipped with the largest armored cluster in the Japanese army, so this time he specially mobilized a large number of bazookas from the corps headquarters to participate in the battle, in order to surprise the little devils.

Looking at the wreckage of dozens of chariots emitting black smoke on the battlefield, Soichi Tomura really wanted to cry without tears, so he had to order the chariot troops to hurry into the city.

At the same time that the bazooka unit had made great achievements, 150 fighters of the Army Aviation Regiment also rushed to the battlefield. At this time, the Japanese aviation not only had fuel consumption almost below the alert, but also basically ran out of ammunition, and the Japanese army was obviously panicked in the face of the sudden attack of the P40 group.

October 19 was a disaster day that can never be forgotten for the Kwantung Army, on this day, the chariot troops that Higuchi Kiichiro had placed great hopes on were brutalized by Ma Zheng's infantry, and more than 100 Type 97 chariots were defeated by dozens of infantry.

However, this was only the beginning of the disaster, and at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, when more than 120 fighters and more than 100 bombers of the Japanese Second Flying Group were about to return home, they were intercepted by the army aviation unit of Ma Zheng's department, and an unprecedented air battle began.

Although more than 370 planes took part in this air battle, it was not intense. Because the Japanese army knew their situation and was about to run out of fuel and ammunition, they had already lost the capital to confront Ma Zheng's troops, so this air battle lasted less than half an hour.

In just half an hour, the Japanese air force, mainly bombers, suffered extremely heavy losses, and only a few of the more than 220 fighters dispatched by the Second Flying Group fled back to Tongliao, and the rest were either shot down or crashed due to running out of fuel on the way back, and the entire Naiman battlefield and the road to Tongliao were full of wreckage of Japanese planes.

Only 15 fighters were destroyed in the 8th Theater of this War, one of which fell due to a malfunction of the airframe, which had little to do with the Japanese army, and only 14 were shot down by the Japanese army.

The news of the Second Flying Group's encounter with Waterloo reached Tongliao and quickly returned to the Kwantung Army Headquarters in Xinjing, and the Kwantung Army, which had been trumpeting the bravery of the Great Japanese air warriors two days earlier, was like a big rooster choked by the neck, and suddenly became silent.

This is not over, that night the telegram for help from all over the country was sent to Tongliao City like snowflakes, first the garrison of the right rear banner sent an urgent telegram, saying that a large number of troops were found outside the city, many with an infantry brigade; Then the defenders in the direction of the Cullen banner also sent an urgent telegram. They said that they were under a fierce attack by the Chinese army, and requested immediate rescue from the division headquarters.

Higuchi Jiichiro was shocked, how could the Shina army suddenly appear in Kulun and Keyouhou Banner, according to the news from all over the country, several county towns near Tongliao were attacked by the Shina army, according to the intelligence they sent back, the number of the Shina army is still quite large, and the sum of the three banner counties is about to reach four or five thousand people.

Higuchi Jiichiro did not dare to slack off, and on the one hand, he asked for help from the Kwantung Army Headquarters, and on the other hand, he immediately transferred an infantry wing and two puppet cavalry regiments from the Tongliao defenders, and the troops were divided into three ways to reinforce the right rear banner of the section and other places.

What Higuchi Jiichiro didn't know was that every move of the Tongliao defenders was closely monitored by Ma Zheng's department, and after receiving that the Tongliao defenders had sent an infantry wing out, Ma Zheng expected that the heat would be about the same, and immediately ordered the airborne troops on standby at Chengde Airport to board the plane immediately.

At 7 o'clock in the morning, as soon as the sky was bright, more than 100 large transport planes flew over Tongliao, and more than 4,000 paratroopers and a large number of weapons and ammunition landed in Tongliao City.

The Japanese soldiers defending the city were not stupid, seeing the airborne troops falling from the sky, the Japanese soldiers chose to counterattack at the first time, and all the soldiers aimed their guns at the white parachutes in the sky.

However, because Tongliao is located in the hinterland of the eastern grassland, except for a small number of defenders who are responsible for patrolling, the other troops of the Japanese army will not stay in the position in peacetime. Therefore, although the defenders counterattacked, the fire was not intensive, and soon the first paratroopers successfully landed.

According to the original plan, immediately after the landing, the army assembled in the direction of the Japanese barracks and airfield in Tongliao City, and at the same time, the Japanese garrison headquarters and arsenal were listed as key offensive targets.

When Ma Zheng's headquarters carried out an airborne operation against Tongliao, Lieutenant General Kiichiro Higuchi was holding a meeting at the garrison headquarters for all officers above the rank of wing commander. As a commander with a lot of combat experience, Lieutenant General Kiichiro Higuchi has already smelled something unusual from today's battle.

Especially after the successive discovery of the Tuba Road in Keyouhouqi and other places, Lieutenant General Higuchi Jiichiro thought that Ma Zheng's troops were likely to suddenly appear near Tongliao, so he hurriedly called a meeting of several wing commanders in the city to discuss the defense strategy, so as not to be caught off guard by the Shina army.

However, before their meeting was over, the guards hurried into the conference room and told Yano and the others, "The Shina army is here!" ”

Lieutenant General Higuchi Kiichiro also didn't care about maintaining a good general demeanor in the past, and hurriedly ran out to check the situation.

I saw that the sky of Tongliao City was completely covered by huge white parachutes, and those hateful Chinese paratroopers landed gracefully while killing the imperial troops on the ground with the guns in their hands.

At the same time, fierce firefights and explosions rang out in the city. Suddenly, Lieutenant General Higuchi Kiichiro felt that someone behind him pushed him hard, making his Excellency the lieutenant general fall all of a sudden.

Enraged, Lieutenant General Kiichiro Higuchi was about to teach the daring bastard a hard lesson, but as soon as he turned his head, he noticed a shuttle of bullets hitting the place where he had just stood. As for the "daring" "bastard", he was beaten into a sieve, and seven or eight guns were empty all over his body.

Lieutenant General Higuchi Kiichiro suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, fortunately his own guards pushed him, otherwise he would be the one who fell to the ground now, and at this time, the guards who followed Higuchi Kiichiro hurriedly shouted: "Your Excellency the Commander of the Protection Division!" Your Excellency the Protector Commander! ”

Soon, more than a dozen soldiers quickly stepped forward and surrounded Higuchi Kiichiro in the middle of the human wall as quickly as possible, and protected him tightly.

And in mid-air, the commander of the airborne brigade, Li Yuming, secretly said that it was a pity, just now he saw Kiichiro Higuchi wearing a lieutenant general's uniform from the scope of a sniper rifle, Li Yuming was immediately overjoyed, as the supreme commander of the paratrooper unit, of course Li Yuming knew what rank the two generals were. That's a lieutenant general of the Japanese Army, how can Li Yuming not know what a lieutenant general means.

In the establishment of the Japanese army, the division is the smallest strategic unit and the largest tactical unit, and the division commander is generally a lieutenant general.

Unfortunately, the Japanese army in the Tongliao area is a division-level establishment, which means that the following lieutenant general is likely to be the highest commander in the Tongliao area.

Patient with the excitement in his heart, Li Yuming aimed the sniper rifle in his hand at the lieutenant general, and then pulled the trigger continuously until all the bullets in the gun were fired.

It's a pity that he was dodged by that bastard and only killed a second lieutenant, looking at the guy who was protected in the middle, Li Yuming secretly sighed that he had lost a great opportunity.

For a professional sniper like Li Yuming, it was too easy to deal with a fixed target, not to mention that he still had a sniper rifle in his hand. But it's a pity that it's in the sky now, and there are too many factors that affect the trajectory of the bullet, and it's understandable that it won't hit, but it's a bit of a pity.
