Chapter 268: The Great Wall War of Resistance 10
Xiuxiu......
The bricks and tiles that made up the walls and houses of Chengde were shot into the air in the explosion, enveloping the sky over Chengde's troops in smoke.
Relying on the advantage of transportation from the north, the Japanese army's artillery and ammunition were faster than the Zhuang Huchen regiment that had just arrived in Chadao, and half of Chengde City was now in ruins.
"Capture Rehe and defeat the strongest army in China!" Takusugi took off his thick cotton coat, revealing his white shirt underneath, brandished his saber, and roared towards the defenders on the opposite side. Although the defenders of Chengde suffered heavy casualties, but as the attacking side, the Tuoshan Yuan Wing was almost to the point of exhaustion, one captain was killed, one was wounded, and more than 1,600 soldiers were lost.
Tom tom..., dull sound, damn sound again. Although the sounds are much sparser than before, these sounds are like a magic spell, not as powerful as the Japanese army's 38-type 75 field guns, but the lethality to the soldiers is not weak.
Takusugi and several soldiers rolled into a crater more than two meters square, and a dozen Japanese soldiers a few meters away behind him were shattered in the firelight, and warm blood slag splashed onto Takusugimoto's face.
Damn the artillery, it still can't wipe out the counterattack of that artillery. At the same time, Takusugi Yuan was also a little lucky, if it weren't for this crater, I am afraid that he would be beaten into a ball of minced meat like those subordinates behind him, or he would have broken his arm to see Amaterasu, although he made a military order with the division commander, but at the level of the wing commander, he can already enjoy a lot of privileges, and the future is bright, where will he really want to die. It's just that when he attacked Chengde in front of him, he seemed to be roasted on a fire, and the other troops were smooth sailing, but he hit his head and bled in the hot river.
Tuoshan Yuan couldn't help but hate the 15th Route Army stationed in Chengde, as well as those people in the staff department, I didn't see so many people killed and injured in the Battle of Fengtian, and now they forced him to this part. It seems that there are a lot of people staring at his position, and when he gets through this crisis, he will see how he will take revenge on those guys who secretly make tricks. After the sound of the cannon, I got up from the crater, and there was a buzz in the air.
"Great, our plane is here, long live the Empire!" Takusugi stood up and raised his sword and shouted. The other Japanese soldiers who followed the charge roared feverishly.
But at the same time, there were earth-shattering cheers on the other side. I saw a group of planes reflecting the blue sky and white sun sign also appeared in sight.
"Our plane is coming!" Zhuang Huchen dragged his injured leg. also looked at the reinforcements that appeared in the sky with an excited face, and it was not easy to finally wait for the support of the 15th Route Army. In addition to the fact that the scale is smaller than that of the Fengtian Anti-Japanese War, the tragedy is not much inferior at that time.
The two teams of air forces strangled together, and the sound of snorting on the ground made Zhuang Huchen's face condense, and he glanced at the planes in the air, and he couldn't pull out for a while. It seems that we have to deal with these armored vehicles of the Japanese army alone, even if they are just some guys covered in iron sheets. BUT FOR THE ZHUANG HUCHEN REGIMENT, WHICH HAD DESTROYED THE 37MM FLAT-FIRING GUNS AT THIS TIME, THEY WANTED TO SOLVE THE THREAT OF REMOVING THESE BIG GUYS. It must be filled with human life. And you have to use the veterans of the 15th Army, and the defeated soldiers of the Northeast Army collected can't do it.
"Grenades!" A squad leader screamed, and there was a rush in the rubble trench, and several other veterans jumped out of the trench with cluster grenades one after another.
"82MM mortar, quickly turn it up!" At this time, the little support firepower left in the regiment was transferred to fight the coordinated infantry behind the Japanese armored vehicles, and nine times out of ten it was meat buns and dogs, but at this time, it was impossible to care so much.
No matter how strong the will to fight. Stacking armored vehicles with human lives is a bloody and cruel thing.
Da Da... Machine guns on armored vehicles rang out, and merciless bullets swept the squad leader and the two veterans without a trace of doubt.
"Bastard!" Zhuang Huchen punched the gravel next to him and didn't feel any pain at all.
At this time, the Japanese troops behind the four armored vehicles also quickly followed up to prevent the armored vehicles from being damaged by the enemy infantry.
Tom...
THE 82MM MORTAR, WHICH HAD BEEN PLACED MORE THAN TEN SECONDS IN ADVANCE, SPIT OUT AN ANGRY WHISTLING, AND A SUCCESSION OF SPARKS RANG OUT BEHIND SEVERAL MORTARS. The back of the Japanese armored car was mottled with flesh and blood, and it was immediately cleared out of a no-man's land.
The sudden burst of artillery fire startled several armored vehicles. It's okay for them to bully a machine rifle with a little iron sheet, but it can't withstand the hit of shells.
Rumble! The 37 guns of the two armored vehicles aimed at the mortar at the same time, one shot missed, knocking over two enemy soldiers nearby, and the other shot directly knocked out the mortar, and several gunners also fell in the explosion.
At the same time, the soldiers of the defenders finally stuffed the cluster grenade under the tracks of the armored car. Boom...
The two armored vehicles were already lying on their stomachs, but the two dozen or so soldiers who attacked were all lying in a pool of blood under the counterattack of the Japanese army and the armored vehicles.
And two more!
"Grenades!" Even if the comrades in front had already told them the fate of the attack, in the face of these steel monsters of the Japanese army, the defenders still made a choice without hesitation.
Airplanes......
An airplane roared past, and one of the bombs landed exactly a few feet next to the armored vehicle.
Rumble! The heavy body of the armored vehicle was blown to its feet in the explosion, and the tall turret was thrown into the air with a tooth-aching disintegrating sound. The four armored vehicles that attacked fought for more than half an hour and only one was left, perhaps the driver had already fought the last bit of ruthlessness, and did not have the courage to rush forward in front of his colleagues, who were already a torch in front.
"Hit!" Taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese armored vehicles were blocked, the Japanese infantry who came up with reinforcements lost their cover, and the defenders on the position took advantage of the victory to launch a wave of counterattacks, which made the Japanese troops who did not react jump for a while, and after each lost dozens of people, only the smoke of gunpowder and the pungent smell of blood on the battlefield remained.
Planes in the sky flew like flies, at least in the eyes of the ground forces. Occasionally, one or two planes crashed into the ground in an arc with black smoke in a row. Although the aviation elites in the northwest were equipped with more sophisticated Italian-made fighters, the Japanese army's numerical superiority was still very close to the battle damage, and compared with the rookies in Shanghai, the Japanese pilots who experienced the battle in Fengtian were also the elite of the air battle. Takusugi avoided seppuku in the end, and after paying more than 400 casualties, the Japanese army had already cut through the broken city wall into the city of Chengde.
The battle in the sky also ended as the night was about to fall, and the two sides who had been fighting fiercely for a day gathered their troops and secretly licked their wounds. At the same time, they are on guard against each other's possible night attacks. (To be continued.) )
