Chapter 1014: Capture Shanhaiguan

Thundered! The continuous sound of explosions began to resound in the Nanguan city wall of Shanhaiguan, and a ball of fire and smoke rose into the sky, and some unlucky devil soldiers were swept away by the raging shock wave, or fell into the city, or fell outside the pass, and died tragically on the spot.

In the earth-shaking explosion, more than a dozen No. 4 tanks and thousands of officers and men of the Dragon's Tooth outside the pass took advantage of the situation to speed up their advance, and with the cover of artillery fire, they quickly entered the effective range of their machine guns.

At this time, the devils on the city wall also spotted them, so both sides opened fire on each other almost simultaneously.

However, the devils were forced to shoot under the intensive bombardment of the tanks of the Dragon's Tooth Column, and the accuracy and intensity of firepower were naturally greatly reduced.

The Dragon's Tooth Column relied on the cover of tanks and the suppression of the enemy by its own heavy artillery fire, and could give full play to its own firepower.

Suddenly, bullets rained down outside the Nanguan City of Shanhaiguan, and the dense bullets were like a raging storm, with a scorching air flow cutting through the sky, flying crosswise, and the devils on the city suffered even more heavy casualties.

The infantry of the Dragon's Tooth Column hid behind the tanks, most of them were unharmed, and most of the devil's retaliatory bullets rained down on the armor of the tanks, but there were also a few unlucky fighters who were unfortunately hit by stray bullets or ricochets and fell to the ground injured.

But it will soon be carried back by the medical soldiers who are waiting in the rear for treatment, and now the Dragon's Tooth Column has a huge base area as the rear, and tens of millions of people are their strong backing.

The logistical and medical support system is gradually being perfected and formed, and many soldiers who have been wounded in battle can receive effective and timely treatment, the proportion of the wounded and sick who have died is gradually shrinking, and the probability of returning to the battlefield is increasing.

This is extremely rare for an army.

You must know that in today's backward era, the mortality rate of the wounded and sick in the Chinese army, which lacks medical treatment and medicine, is extremely high, and many veterans with rich combat experience often die tragically after being wounded in a certain battle because of lack of medical treatment and lack of effective treatment.

This is a great loss for a combat unit, after all, it takes a lot of money to train an elite veteran with real combat experience.

Needless to say, the consumption of ammunition, weapons, and military salaries, but these elite veterans are all selected from the recruits, and they are screened and transformed layer by layer.

It is often necessary to go through many bloody battles, and those who are qualified to survive can become veterans, and such veterans die because they cannot be effectively treated, which is sad and lamentable.

And now, the Dragon's Tooth Column is improving the situation as much as possible or even extinction, as long as it is not too seriously injured, it can generally be effectively treated to recover and return to the battlefield.

Even if they are disabled, these veterans who have experienced the baptism of blood and fire have their precious value, which can be used to train and train new recruits for front-line troops in the rear, and pass on their valuable experience and fighting skills.

To get back to the point, as their own troops continued to advance, the tank artillery groups in the rear stopped shelling, because they were at a distance and could not carry out accurate shelling like a dozen tanks in front, and they would be injured by mistake.

Anyway, their own infantry has already rushed to the effective range of their weapons, and they can rely on their own strength to fight fiercely with the little devils, and what will happen to the next battle is a matter for these infantry.

"Brothers, rush me! Don't let little Japan underestimate us! "As our tanks have advanced to the city, they have used vehicle-mounted machine guns and tank guns to suppress the gunsmoke-filled city head with fixed-point fire, and the devils on the city wall have little power to fight back.

A lieutenant colonel battalion commander who led the team held an MP38 submachine gun and raised his arms and shouted as he fired at the city.

Under his shouting, the infantry spread out behind their tanks and chariots, lined up in a straggler formation, and quickly swarmed in the direction of the city gate of Shanhaiguan.

"Bagaya Road, Tubalu is rushing up, quickly organize death squads to stop them from advancing!" Seeing this, a devil Shaozuo, who was hiding behind the battlement wall at the head of the city to supervise the battle, was in a hurry and hurriedly scolded his Japanese officers and soldiers.

Soon, a group of shirtless devil death squads with samurai cloth tied to their heads appeared on the head of the city, which was filled with gunsmoke and artillery fire, with explosives wrapped around their waists and grenades around their necks.

Thundered...... Boom Boom! A series of explosions landed in the attacking crowd of the dragon's tooth infantry outside the city wall, causing great damage to the attacking troops, and the devil relied on this suicidal self-explosion to contain the offensive of the dragon's tooth column.

In addition, the Japanese troops in the Sekini continued to reinforce the castle, so the battle situation quickly fell into a stalemate.

At the same time, Qiao Youhua had already moved his headquarters from Wuqing Town to Tianjin, and the headquarters was located in the original International Commercial Bank, which was a six-story Western-style building complex jointly owned by the concessions of various countries, located in the most prosperous street in Tianjin.

Later, after the Japanese invaders captured Tianjin, they forcibly took it as their own, and now Tianjin was recovered by the Eighth Route Army, and the heads of the consulates of various powers in Tianjin began to fight the idea of this place again, fantasizing about regaining the ownership of this commercial building.

At the same time, it was also used as a test to test the Eighth Route Army whether they could have the same rights as during the control of the Nationalist Government.

To put it bluntly, it is these Western powers who are accustomed to bullying China who want to regain the privileges of foreigners from the hands of the Communists, such as various concessions, various unequal treaties, all kinds of zero tariffs, and other unequal treaties.

Whether it is Qiao Youhua and others, or the top level of the CCP led by the great Chairman Mao, it is impossible to let these Western powers get their wish, they will not agree to all unequal treaties, just kidding, the Chinese place, the Chinese city, now after the bloody struggle of countless people, finally recaptured.

How can you allow Westerners to wantonly and bully us Chinese with arrogance? How is it true that our own citizens are inferior to you foreigners in our own country?

Therefore, Qiao Youhua decisively set this place as his headquarters, and directly expressed his attitude and determination to the consuls of various countries, of course, because there is still some cooperation or trading with Britain, France, the United States and other powers, and in addition, the current situation of the War of Resistance against Japan is still a long way to go, so after weighing the pros and cons, after reporting to the central government, Qiao Youhua and Zuo Quan discussed and decided not to recover the foreign concessions in Tianjin and other recovery areas for the time being.

Maintaining this situation for the time being, recovering the concession, and only waiting for the future to destroy Little Japan, recover the lost land, and become strong in the military, is only a matter of an instant.

In the command headquarters, Qiao Youhua received an urgent report from Liu Jianhua, and he immediately ordered: "The heavy artillery brigade and the air defense brigade will immediately assemble and march quickly to Shanhaiguan, cooperate with the advance corps to seize Shanhaiguan, and at the same time I will personally pilot the bombers to provide them with air support!" ”
