The commander of the Little Devil Division, Yamashita Fumi, did not think about it, and the attack was seriously frustrated at the beginning, and in less than 20 minutes of the exchange of fire between the two sides, the 8th Wing suffered more than half of the casualties, and sent a telegram of tactical guidance.

Yamashita Fengwen, whose face was pale, said angrily: "Immediately send a telegram to the 8th Wing, withdraw from the attack, and at the same time order all troops to hurry up." ”

In the position of the second infantry regiment, the soldiers saw the corpses of the little devils in front of the position, and everyone felt very excited and enjoyed, although the little devils had invested more than 3,000 people to attack, but they still did not break through the defense line guarded by everyone.

Suddenly, the soldiers found that the little devil who had just started to attack violently began to retreat while fighting, and many fighters thought in their hearts, could it be that the little devil wanted to retreat.

Sure enough, in less than two minutes, the little devil began to retreat in a large area, and several company commanders saw that the little devil began to retreat, and immediately shouted to their troops: "Comrades, the little devil wants to retreat, everyone beat me hard, don't be afraid of wasting bullets." ”

"Da, da, da" dense gunfire sounded on the position of the second regiment, and the soldiers fired fiercely at the retreating little devils, and the retreating little devils began to panic a little when they saw the fierce shooting of the [***] team, and some of the little devils even began to flee in the wilderness.

The soldiers saw that the little devil was gradually in a messy formation, and immediately shot hard, and the little devil threw the corpse on the ground, and finally escaped from the range of the AK-47 assault rifle.

The captain of the 8th wing of the little devil saw that although his troops withdrew, there were many casualties in the process of retreating, and the little devils who finally retreated back were only in their early 1,000s, and many little devils were injured, and the captain of the little devil saw this situation and looked miserable.

A field infantry wing of more than 3,800 people, in the past in the North China battlefield, had to fight at least two or three divisions of the Kuomintang, and also achieved good results, but I didn't think that in front of an infantry regiment of the 36th Group Army, the two sides were defeated in a short exchange of fire for more than 20 minutes, and they were basically disabled.

The captain of the little devil co-captain slowly knelt down towards the east, unbuttoned his military uniform, exposed his belly, and prepared to cut his stomach. Seeing this, the chief of staff of the little devil miserably persuaded: "Your Excellency, Wing Commander, no! We still have at least a thousand more soldiers, and we can still fight with the [***] team on the opposite side." ”

The captain of the little devil co-captain, pale, stabbed his katana into his stomach.

The captain of the little devil wing knew that not only did he not lay the defense line of the [***] team, but also let the troops suffer heavy casualties, although the captain of the little devil wing did not want to die very much, but in this case, there was no choice, even if he did not take the initiative to cut his stomach, the division commander would let himself cut his stomach.

The head of the Little Devil Division, Yamashita Fengwen, didn't take long to come here and bring it here. Yamashita Fengwen looked at the remnants of more than a thousand little devils who were defeated and depressed, his face was gloomy and he could pinch out the water, and said fiercely: "Let that idiot from Kimura come to see me." ”

The chief of staff of the 8th Wing of the Little Devil pointed to the Captain of the Little Devil Wing, who was not far away and had fallen to the ground and had died of anger, and said, "Your Excellency the Division Commander, Kimura-kun has been loyal to His Majesty the Emperor. ”

"Yaga! Kimura this idiot. "Although he saw that the captain of the little devil wing had already cut his stomach, Yamashita Fengwen was still puzzled, when did the 4th Division experience such a fiasco, and such a casualty record, it really made Yamashita Fengwen angry.

After Yamashita Fengwen vented, he still took the telescope and carefully looked at the defensive position of the [***] team in the distance, only to see in the distance, on more than a dozen hills on both sides of the kilometer, it can be clearly seen that the [***] team has built a large number of fortifications, if it wants to break through, I am afraid that it will have to pay a lot of casualties.

If you want to detour around the flank of the [***] team in the attack, it is also more troublesome, and there are more than a dozen hills in front of it. The defense line is several kilometers wide, and if you want to attack the flank of the [***] team, you have to detour for more than ten kilometers, and this is a mountainous area, and there are some small hills everywhere.

If you really want to attack the flank of the [***] team's position, you can only carry light weapons, take the path past, all the infantry guns and mountain artillery cannot be used, and rely on some Type 38 rifles and crooked machine guns to attack the position on the flank of the [***] team, it is very unwise.

Yamashita Fengwen thought, it seems that he can only attack head-on. If you want to detour this area and go to Guisui from another road, you will have to walk at least more than 200 kilometers, because the 4th Division can only advance along this road at present, because the 4th Division's trucks still carry a lot of supplies, this time to go deep into Guisui for reinforcements, it is equivalent to a lone army going deep, if you take a small road and abandon these supplies and heavy weapons, it will definitely not work.

After looking at the defensive position of the [***] team, Yamashita Fengwen's already gloomy face now looks even more ugly, Yamashita Fengwen feels that in front of him is a very difficult bone to gnaw, after fighting for so long, he has never encountered such a tricky situation.

It can be seen from the attack of the 8th Wing just now that the firepower of the opposite [***] team is very fierce and has a lot of mortars.

Yamashita Fengwen pondered for a while, and felt that if there was artillery cover, the infantry attack would be much smoother, but he didn't know if the [***] team on the opposite side had heavy artillery, because when he was in Zhangjiakou, according to intelligence, the [***] team had three heavy artillery groups.

Yamashita asked the chief of staff of the 8th Wing a little worriedly, "Does the [***] squadron on the opposite side have heavy artillery?" ”

The chief of staff of the 8th Wing of the little devil looked miserable, as if he saw his artillery squadron again, and in less than a minute, he was bombarded by the heavy artillery of the squadron [***] and there was not even a slag left, and he bowed his head and said sadly: "Your Excellency the division commander, the [***] team opposite has a huge heavy artillery group, which is very terrifying. ”

The chief of staff of the little devil thought of the heavy artillery of the [***] team, and obviously still had palpitations. Yamashita Fengwen heard that the [***] team on the opposite side had heavy artillery, and his face was a little ugly.

For a while, Yamashita Fengwen felt helpless, and for a long time, he set his eyes on a few tanks and more than a dozen armored vehicles equipped by his division, so Yamashita Fengwen ordered all the combat vehicles to be concentrated, and then ordered the 37th Wing and the 61st Wing to attack together......

Temporary Command of the 2nd Infantry Division.

In front of the command headquarters, division commander Chen Erwa, who was lying in the trench to observe the enemy's situation, saw that the big army of the little devils rushed over, and a few kilometers away, a large area was densely packed, and the division commander Chen knew that it should be a division of the little devils who had arrived.

Look at the sky, it's already evening, it's getting dark, it's a pity, if it's daytime, so many little devils, Chen Erwa doesn't mind calling the air force for support, and take a good hit at these little devils.

Now it seems that you can only rely on yourself. In the telescope, Chen Erwa saw a lot of little devils gathering, and the only few tanks and more than a dozen armored vehicles that the little devils only seemed to have gathered together, it seems that the little devils want to use these combat vehicles, and cooperate with a large number of infantry to break their positions in one fell swoop.

Division Commander Chen penetrated the little devil's attempt, a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and immediately said to a staff officer next to him: "Immediately inform the second regiment in the forward position that the little devil is going to attack in a big way, and tell them that at least a dozen chariots have appeared this time the little devil." ”

When the staff officer heard that there were more than a dozen tanks, he did not immediately convey the order, but said a little worriedly: "Division commander, our second regiment does not have anti-tank heavy weapons, and although the chariot of the little devil is not very good, with the AK-47 assault rifle of our second regiment, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with." ”

Hearing this, Chen Erwa smiled slightly, and said confidently: "Support the Second Regiment with all the 10 40mm rocket launchers equipped by our guard battalion, and dozens of soldiers from the guard battalion will personally make these bazookas." ”

Seeing this, the staff officer saw that the division commander had also taken out the treasure that he had managed to get from the commander-in-chief, and his eyes immediately lit up, and he happily conveyed the order.

The 40-millimeter rocket launcher was still a rarity in the 36 th Group Army, and these things were newly developed in the Datong base not long ago, and they can be said to be by-products of rocket artillery.

Since preparing to develop rocket artillery, Zhang Yunfei thought of the bazooka, about whether to produce bazookas, Zhang Yunfei is also entangled in his heart for a long time, at present, his own troops began to equip a large number of Type 39 tanks and Type 39 armored personnel carriers, if the production of bazookas, resulting in the outflow of rocket launch technology, then their own tanks and armored vehicles will increase a great safety hazard.

The bazooka is a sharp weapon against armored targets and strong fortifications, and if the little devil masters the manufacturing technology of the bazooka, it will pose a great threat to his tank, especially the Type 39 armored personnel carrier. But Zhang Yunfei really wanted to have a bazooka.

At present, the 36th Group Army is not equipped with infantry anti-tank weapons, and urgently needs an anti-tank weapon, Zhang Yunfei thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to produce and manufacture a 40-mm rocket launcher.

Because the 40 mm rocket launcher technology is simple, even if you don't produce it yourself, it won't be long before other countries will develop and produce it. Because the rocket launcher uses the reaction impulse of the jet gas after the gunpowder burns to provide the flight energy of the warhead, it does not have a rocket engine in the modern sense, so it is easy to develop and produce.

In the end, Zhang Yunfei still developed and produced the bazooka, which is suitable for fighting in mountainous and jungle areas, and can deal with the enemy's strong bunkers, combat vehicles and other targets. It's just a little closer, with an effective range of only 100 meters, but the armor-piercing thickness reaches a terrifying 220 mm/55 degrees.

On the eve of the attack on Zhangjiakou, more than 30 were made, and Chen Erwa, who accidentally saw the test of this new weapon, immediately liked it, and finally got 10 40-mm rocket launchers and 100 rockets in front of Zhang Yunfei.
