Chapter 258: Since you're here, don't go

In the afternoon, as soon as the Chahar army attacked, the Japanese army felt that the attack method of the Chahar army was very different from that in the morning, and the uniform, weapons, and tactical movements of the army that took the lead in the attack this time were different from those of ordinary Chahar soldiers.

They wore black combat uniforms, and almost all of them were automatic weapons, with flamethrowers, bazookas, snipers, machine gunners and other weapons, and the offensive momentum was very sharp and ferocious.

They generally formed a detachment of four people, taking turns advancing in each other's place, while the rest of the Chahar siege force followed behind, providing fire support as soon as the jiāo fired.

In a dark Xiǎo alley, a four-man Xiǎo detachment was cautiously advancing, the Xiǎo captain was crouching against the wall, and the machine gun was standing around the corner facing the wall, trying not to be exposed in advance.

After arriving at the mouth of Xiǎo Alley, the soldiers led by him took off their helmets to avoid aiming too big. Then he shrunk his torso and advanced to a position parallel to the corner of the wall, adjusted his torso to a normal position, and observed the battle situation in the street.

Taking off the helmet may seem like a lack of protection, but in this special environment where the distance of the jiāo battle generally occurs within eighty meters, once the head is hit, there is no difference between wearing a helmet or not, let alone it

Japan's Type 92 heavy machine gun, that is, Japan's 38 large cover helmet, even if the helmet can block the bullet, the soldier's neck will be broken in an instant due to the strong kinetic energy of the bullet, so taking off the helmet is the best choice for observers.

After looking at it, the leading soldier stretched out three fingers backwards to signal that there were three enemies on the opposite side. After a few more covert gestures, the three soldiers behind quickly clung close.

The leading soldier flashed his body and gave up his position to the machine gunner. The machine gunner immediately opened the bipod of the MG42 machine gun he was holding in his arms and set it up on the ground, and the man immediately lay down.

Seeing that the team members were ready, the captain of the team nodded violently, and the remaining three soldiers rushed to the exit in unison, and the submachine guns in their hands opened fire in unison. For a time, three submachine guns and a machine gun instantly smashed the Japanese troops in the opposite corner who had not had time to react into a sieve in an instant.

"Cleared, move on!" Led by Captain Xiǎo, the soldiers continued to push forward.

Such similar scenes were constantly played out in the city, and on the relatively wide streets, Hu Lian and his men divided the tanks of the Third Panzer Division into pieces, scattered them into several xiǎo units, and formed strong attack groups and assault detachments together with infantry, artillery, and engineers, and attacked the Japanese fortresses one by one. The soldiers strapped the collected mattresses to the tank, mitigating the blow to it. They also lit smoke bottles. Under the cover of smoke, the soldiers rushed into the buildings and xiǎo alleys, engaging in close combat with the Japanese troops.

In the headquarters of the Japanese army, Lieutenant General Kusaba Tatsumi was nervously watching the changes in the battle situation.

With a "bang", a Japanese officer rushed in, and said anxiously: "Report to Your Excellency, the current offensive of the Chinese army is very fierce, and they have changed to a new method of operation, resulting in heavy casualties in our 27th Division. The commander of the Nakajima Division asked me to ask you for tactical guidance. ”

Kusaba Tatsumi "snorted": "Didn't Nakajima-kun say that the people of Shina are just like this today, and they are vulnerable?" Why are you asking for tactical guidance now? ”

"Your Excellency, General!" The officer said with a sad voice: "This afternoon, another strange unit of the people of China came, they were dressed in costumes, and the weapons they carried and their tactical movements were completely different from the previous ordinary soldiers of China. They seem to have been born to fight in the city, and they are very skilled in how to fight in the city, and under their onslaught, the casualties of our division are very large, and now our position has shrunk by a third. Please be sure to send more reinforcements! ”

Kusaba Tatsumi sighed secretly, and said kindly to the officer: "I only have one brigade in my hands now, so I'll give him to Nakajima-kun, I hope you will not live up to the expectations of His Majesty the Emperor, you must hold your position, as long as you hold on until tomorrow, reinforcements will arrive." ”

"Reinforcements? Hehe, Kusaba Tatsumi probably can't wait for those reinforcements to arrive! In the Seventh Theater Command, Su Tong sat behind his desk and sneered at the photos taken by the reconnaissance plane this morning and sent back.

In the photo, a long team of Type 95 light tanks, Vickers armored vehicles, and nearly 1,000 trucks formed a rolling traffic and were heading in the direction of Chengde

"Hehe, the Kwantung Army has made a lot of money this time, and sent one of their only two tank brigades, it seems that their determination to rescue Chengde this time is very resolute!" Jiang Baili smiled lightly as he held the photo in his hand.

"Since the Kwantung Army is willing to spend so much money, if they don't let them leave something, wouldn't it be too great for Kenkichi Ueda?" Gently put the photo in his hand on the table, Su Tong grabbed the phone on the table: "I'm Su Tong, pick me up Gao Zhihang." Ziheng? Now I order all the 1st Air Division to be dispatched, and the 'Staycation' operation has officially begun! ”

With Su Tong's order, the 47 fighters of the 1st Air Division, which had long been on standby at Feilong Airport, and Stuka soared into the sky.

On the endless prairie, Lieutenant General Yoshiharu Takeshita of the 139th Division was sitting in a truck, staring straight ahead, but his heart was tossing and turning.

Yoshiharu Takeshita, Seisakiro Itatsune, Kenji Tsuchihara, Ninji Okamura, and Toshiyoshi Ando, who graduated from the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School, were all cadets of the 16th batch. However, these people are now all successful imperial heroes, at least the division commanders of the first-class division, so the sixteenth issue is also called the "glorious sixteenth phase" in Japanese military circles. And he still commands a third-rate third-class division, and every time he sees these old classmates, he feels that he can't hold his head up.

Isn't Okamura Ningji called 'Sanyu Wu', wasn't he also driven out of Beiping City by Chahar the day before yesterday and returned to Tianjin in disgrace? This time, I rushed to lead the team to relieve the siege of Chengde to let the base camp see, and I, Yoshiharu Takeshita, were no worse than those people.

As long as the siege of Chengde is relieved, I am afraid that I will be embarrassed if the base camp does not give me command of a first-class division, Takeshita Yoshiharu thought beautifully.

In Japanese military circles, there is an unwritten rule that only those who have served as division commanders in the army's 17 permanent divisions and regiments are the key training targets of the base camp.

Takeshita Yoshiharu, who was feeling happy in his heart, didn't know that above the clouds in front of him, there was a huge group of planes rushing towards his 139th Division and Chariot Brigade like hungry wolves.

Le Yiqin, commander of the 1st Air Division of the 7th Theater Theater, was piloting a 47 fighter plane while directing this huge group of aircraft to continuously approach the reinforcements led by Yoshiharu Takeshita.

"Report, Japanese troops were found ahead, did they attack?" Suddenly, a voice came from Le Yiqin's headset and into Le Yiqin's ears.

After hearing the report, Le Yiqin immediately connected to the public channel, and the next moment all the pilots heard Le Yiqin's calm voice in their ears: "Stuka's 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Brigades will attack the Japanese convoy below in turn as planned. You must remember the order of the attack, first the tank brigade, then the infantry division, is it all clear? ”

"Hear me clearly!" Le Yiqin's headset heard the pilots' unanimous answers.

"Start attacking!"

With Le Yiqin's order, the thirty-six fighters of the 1st Stuka Brigade shook their seemingly clumsy bodies, broke away from the formation, and began to dive downward.

"Woo woo woo ......"

When Stuka appeared in the sight of the Japanese soldiers, the terrible siren also reached the ears of the Japanese soldiers.

"It's the Death Vulture, the Death Vulture of the Shina People!" A Japanese soldier standing in the truck, Cao Chang, pointed to the sky and shouted in terror.

Stukka's name, first known to the Russians as the 'Vulture of Death', has already resounded in the international aviation community after the Chahar army fought several battles in Siberia and against the Japanese army.

After viewing the Stuka fighter plane equipped by the German government, the military expert sent by the German government said in a telegram to the German government that it is true that the Stuka of Chahar stole the technology from our German government, but we have to admit that after their transformation, this fighter that we originally thought was capable of ordinary Xìng has already emitted a dazzling brilliance in their hands.

Accompanied by the sirens were Stuka's dive bombardment, whose unique 90-degree vertical attack could overwhelm almost all ground defense firepower, let alone the Japanese troops on the march.

The first wave of 36 Stuka first rushed towards the Japanese tank formation, and when Stuka dived to 800 meters above the ground, the speed had reached 540 kilometers per hour, and one by one D-4-1 submunitions immediately broke away from the body and fell into the tank group like a cannonball.

Soon after each submunition broke away from the body, it split into seventy-eight Xiǎo bombs weighing four kilograms each, and rushed towards the chariot group.

"Boom"

In such a dense bombardment, the Type 95 light chariot, which was still speeding on the grassland, was like a bottle of champagne that was suddenly opened after being violently shaken, and it continued to burst open with a "bang".

"Bastard, the tank brigade quickly stopped and formed an anti-aircraft formation! You idiots, do you think you can go faster than an airplane? Stop! ”

Lieutenant General Yoshiharu Takeshita, who was watching from behind, jumped out of the car, cursed loudly at the chariot driver in front, and ordered the 139th Division to quickly stop advancing and form an air defense formation.

But Heavenly Le Yiqin did not want to give him this opportunity, under the command of Le Yiqin, a group of 47 swooped down in an orderly manner, and the two 50-kilogram bombs carried on the fuselage were also dropped on the Japanese truck convoy in turn
