Asada, who was born in an old samurai family in Japan, rested for more than an hour after receiving the order, and then led the team to embark on the journey of "conquering Jixian County" despite the sun's setting in the west.
Asada took advantage of this more than an hour to first reorganize the weapons in the army. Due to the lack of accessories and ammunition for the Type 38, the weapons of General Asada's recruits under one year were replaced with Mauser 98 rifles that captured the Manchu Eight Banners. At a time when the Chinese army was generally equipped with weapons that could be localized, such as Hanyang-made and Shuilianzhu, the Manchu nobles with "deep pockets" won the support of the British and bought the Mauser who captured the Germans in Europe. Because of the support for the Manchu aristocracy, the British did not use the brand-new German Mauser as shoddy, and it was all a new German Mauser, which was a grade higher than the Hanyang Zao and Shui Lianzhu in Wu Peifu and Wang Huaiqing's army. Unfortunately, due to the wrong tactical arrangement and the betrayal, these weapons fell into the hands of the Japanese before they could use the strength of the German armorers. The Mauser discarded by the Manchu Eight Banners on the battlefield was distributed by Asada after he was distributed, and there was still a surplus in the team, but Asada himself had a sense of pride as a Japanese and resisted anything that was not made in Japan from the bottom of his heart, so he was unwilling to let all his subordinates change their clothes. However, it can be seen from the equipment after the refitting that the proportion of veterans in the Asada detachment, which is the front-line unit of the Japanese army, is still inferior to the 5,000 Japanese troops who are on the tour, and the figure of Mauser accounts for nearly half of the proportion of the Asada detachment, while the proportion of recruits in the brigade is much smaller.
By the time the Japanese army swaggered out, Wang Chengbin's team was ready for battle.
This time, the biggest crisis on the Jixian battlefield is the lack of space for time strategy and tactics, so that the Manchurian cavalry lacks space to display.
However, Zhao Yun was not worried about this at all, after the Japanese army chose to land at Dagukou, Zhao Yun set the location of the decisive battle with the Japanese on the outskirts of Jixian County early.
According to Wang Chengbin's initial strategic plan, he selected several major cities to fight key defensive battles.
But helplessly, the speed of the Japanese army's march was too fast, and the Manchu and Mongolian generals in charge of defense were either brave and unscrupulous, or mediocre, Rao was he arranged urban defense battles in Tianjin and Langfang, but almost all of them were rushed by the Japanese army.
The Japanese artillery fire was more accurate than the Jin army that slammed the door, and relying on the captures along the way, the Japanese army had sufficient ammunition and did not hesitate to destroy the military fortresses along the way.
Until the desperate charge of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, although there were many casualties, it did succeed in containing the Japanese army and making the Japanese army shrink in Tongxian County.
In the face of Wang Chengbin's defeat, Zhao Yun personally instructed him, "The Chinese people in Tongxian County have long since died, and they are running, what taboos do they need to attack such an "urn"? How much is the wall worth? As long as these thousands of Japanese troops are left, even if this Tong County is razed, it will be worth it for us to build a new Tong County! At the end, Zhao Yun also learned the style of leadership, and added, "We look forward to your good news!" ”
On the last day of August, before the evening sun set, the horn of war sounded again in the sky over Tongxian.
As soon as the cannon sounded, there were ten thousand taels of gold. This time, Zhao Yun smashed out the heaviest "gold" in the history of Beiyang.
In order to support the Jixian battlefield, when Wang Chengbin was actively blocking the Japanese army, Zhao Yun dragged many artillery pieces from Jixian County and Outer Mongolia. Although there are still heavy artillery formations in Jixian County, there are more than 1,000 large and small artillery pieces that have rushed to the vicinity of Tongxian County at this time. Among them, more than half of them were field guns with a caliber of more than 75 mm.
However, many artillery pieces were hastily arranged, lacked gun emplacements, and were scattered around Tongxian County, and under the guidance of high-altitude school artillery planes, they confronted more than 150 large and small artillery pieces scavenged by the Japanese. Tong County, which was stuck on the outskirts of Jixian County, could not rush through, and the Japanese artillery lacking heavy artillery could not threaten Jixian County behind.
Zhao Yun didn't plan to consume the Japanese army little by little at the moment, and this shot had already used the last hole card in Zhao Yun's hand, the soldiers in the camp. If these warplanes that do not belong to this world appear in the public eye for a long time, it is difficult to guarantee that they will reveal any secrets. Therefore, Zhao Yun chose the domineering direct swallowing, and at the same time launched a coordinated attack by land and air.
Poor Asada received the order to attack, and after defeating the Manchurian Eight Banners, he didn't think about defending it at all, so there were only some simple fortifications inside and outside Tongxian County to guard against the Manchu Eight Banners, and it was only after the first troops out of the city encountered large-scale resistance that Asada realized that the Chinese army had arrived. Hurriedly withdrew into the city and organized the army to strengthen the fortifications.
The Japanese army, which had seen the First World War in Europe, attached more importance to positional warfare and trench warfare than the Chinese army that was engaged in warlord warfare.
Therefore, the general artillery could not threaten the Japanese army in a short period of time, but this time, in order to quickly solve the battle, Zhao Yun made a coordinated attack by land and air, the ground was commanded by Wang Chengbin, and Zhao Yun organized more than 100 transport planes in the air, and temporarily made a cameo appearance as a bomber, without any external threat, formed a formation, and when the horn of war sounded, it flew to the high altitude of Tongxian County, and used countless bombs to pile up the smoke and dust that enveloped the entire Tongxian area.
The combat methods commonly used in later generations were not well understood by the world in this era, but Zhao Yun, who came from later generations, heard and saw it, and also knew the importance of air supremacy for war.
Both the Japanese and the Soviet Russians were deeply impressed by the growth of the armed forces of the Huaxia army, and believed that the Huaxia army had achieved a lot of good things in the past two years. However, even if Asada Fukaka, who had already noticed this, "borrowed" the anti-aircraft weapons from the warship to the army early, he also felt that his strength was invincible.
Relying on the relationship between the Japanese army and navy, he was able to "borrow" forty or fifty antiaircraft machine guns, plus four 76 antiaircraft guns, and Asada was ready to bring the lawsuit to the emperor. But even so, these anti-aircraft weapons could not decorate the team of more than 5,000 people in the air.
Moreover, few anti-aircraft weapons in this era can block high-altitude bombing, and Zhao Yun does not require accuracy. A mixed formation of Peggy O/400 and the Gotha GV flapped its wings and flew high, then spilled countless howls of death and greeted the Japanese soldiers.
High-altitude bombing was not accurate at all, and the only thing to rely on was more than 100 bombers to spread bombs that seemed to cost money like beans all over Tongxian.
Considering the hedgehog-like large and small artillery pieces of the Japanese army, although there are only more than 100 pieces, it is more or less a threat. In order to minimize the losses and achieve the fastest devouring speed, Wang Chengbin's ground troops only used a small number of troops to launch a feint, like fishing, exposing the Japanese artillery positions, and then the best forwards, bombers, began a targeted elimination in the air.
After some bombers, the sound of artillery on the Japanese positions gradually changed from roaring to **, but in terms of destructive power alone, against those Japanese troops who were nested in air defense and artillery holes, it was obvious that thousands of artillery pieces were superior.
Although even European powers, in the face of fortresses such as cities, need to consider the supply and consumption of ammunition. However, in order to pursue speed, Zhao Yun made the artillery fire of the Chinese army, which had no logistical worries, unprecedentedly fierce.
The artillery group under Zhao Yun's command was mostly field artillery, and because Zhao Yun personally commanded it, it had the advantage of directly replenishing ammunition in the camp, and under the continuous bombardment of ten thousand cannons, the city wall of Tongxian County did not last long before it collapsed.
The Japanese army, who sat behind the city wall and waited for the Chinese army to attack, was not waiting for Wang Chengbin's ground troops, but wave after wave of bullets, until many places were in ruins and could no longer be ruins, and the Japanese army did not wait for the Chinese army to appear.
The advantages of the city walls and trenches were gradually disintegrating, coupled with the air superiority of the Chinese army, which bombed several artillery hoarding points of the Japanese army at the first time, and directly embellished a few mushroom clouds of martyrdom inside the Japanese army.
Zhao Yun is a novice on the battlefield, the tactics are very simple, the gray machine first went to throw bombs, artillery bombardment, and finally a large number of armored infantry swarmed up, sweeping the ruins, cleaning up the trenches and underground fortifications that could not be affected by the artillery fire, and cleaning up the Japanese troops outside the city little by little in hand-to-hand combat and hand-to-hand combat, forcing the Japanese army to enter the city.
What did the Chinese army want to do when they forced the Japanese into the city? Asada Shen naturally understands, but the opponent's tactics are simple, but Asada Shen is crushed by the opponent's absolute strength, and there is not much way to save the fate of his team. During World War I, the Royal Army Corps of Engineers built a total of 55,000 aircraft, and after World War I, Germany surrendered, and British and German planes were scattered in China and appeared on the battlefield. As long as the other side "drives" itself into the city, surrounds it on all sides, and then the planes drop bombs, then the basic war is over.
This is a direct collision of strength without the slightest trick. If it is in a big city like Jixian County, it can still hold on to a huge city for a while longer, but in Tong County, this county-level city, how much room can be maneuvered?
"Will my department be able to break through?" Thinking about it, Asada still sent a telegram to the rear command.
"Don't live up to the expectations of the Empire! The gate of Jixian County is beckoning to you! "Thousands of miles away, with the Chinese air force tightly blockaded, the Japanese navy occupying Tianjin could not provide much strength to go deep into the mainland to support this lone army army, and all it could do was spiritual encouragement.
In the face of the telegram transmitted by this group of navies, Asada directly tore it to pieces. Originally, if the "transfer" had been agreed, the Asada detachment still had hope of breaking through, but all the way forward, then this expectation would be too slim.
"Boom" A burst of artillery interrupted Aada's anger, a house less than a kilometer in front of Asada command post was completely enveloped by the opponent's artillery fire, and several Japanese soldiers who were busy running for their lives rushed out of the ruins of the house, and the expected gunfire did not sound, and forty Chinese soldiers wearing armor and blue Beiyang military uniforms carried long swords and large shields to outflank them.
Seeing this scene, Asada quickly picked up the binoculars and stood at the window to observe, regardless of the guards around him. The fleeing Japanese soldiers returned fire with their rifles while retreating in an orderly manner. But the opponent's big shield seemed to be bulletproof, and the other party's soldiers used the big shield to protect their bodies, and every time the Japanese fired it, it seemed that the other party was just a little beaten, and then surrounded the past again. The opponent's big shield can not only provide cover, but also block the sight of the Japanese army, the Japanese army has just run more than ten meters, and a wave of arrow feathers shot from behind the shield directly penetrated the calves of the two Japanese soldiers, nailing the two to the ground.
"The other party wants to catch him alive!" Seeing this scene, Asada who had been a Chinese soldier was shocked. When I was in Tianjin, I used to treat the lone Chinese soldiers like this, of course, those Chinese soldiers were very backbone, and they did not surrender until they died, and they were all pulled by themselves to be "targets" for the recruits. Although he didn't know what these Huaxia people wanted to do, but with his own people, Asada felt a little afraid of his opponent this time.
Soon the two wounded soldiers fell into the hands of the Huaxia army, and were blinded by rows of large shields, and Asada put down the binoculars in his hand in disappointment, because the remaining few Japanese soldiers who had just escaped had also been nailed to the ground by the second wave of arrows of the opponent, and lost the ability to move, and their fate can be imagined.
Seeing his comrades being captured by the other party, this scene was a huge blow to the morale of the Japanese army, especially in this kind of one-belt, veterans with recruits, if they fought a tailwind battle, these recruits were okay, but once the morale was hit, the recruits were easy to drop the chain.
The Huaxia army slowly advanced into the city in a triangle in a formation of three or forty people, and when it encountered a firepower point, it would bombard the old Napoleon carried by the army, and if the Japanese army returned fire with artillery, the bomber group in the air would be a burst of "laying eggs", and even the field artillery outside the city would be bombarded violently, until the gun position was bombed into ruins, and the Huaxia "search team" would continue to advance.
Seeing more and more Chinese troops appear in the city, the scope of the Japanese army's activities was further compressed. Asada gave the order to counterattack on the spot, occupy a favorable position, and use the terrain to destroy the enemy.
But soon, Asada knew that this time the opponent was not ordinary.
When the Huaxia army encountered stubborn resistance from hundreds of Japanese troops in an old street north of the city, the Huaxia army made an unforgettable action in Asada.
Truckloads of firewood and grass were brought into the city from outside the city, and after being poured with grease, more than a dozen stone-throwing trucks threw them all into the street, directly burning the entire street. Thousands of Chinese troops held large shields and lined up in several rows waiting for the Japanese troops in ambush in the streets to break through.
Seeing that the Chinese army was so "at any cost", Asada's heart was cold, only the Japanese army had ever done such a "ruthless" thing, which made Asada very proud, but when he saw that the Huaxia army had such an act, and the target was still his own men, Asada couldn't accept it.
Asada knew that he had encountered a "ruthless" person, and the other party was no longer a tactic of self-inflicted damage of 800 and killing 1,000 enemies, but of "self-harm" of self-inflicted damage of 10,000 and killing 1,000 enemies.
Fighting against normal people, Asada has encountered it in the Far East and Wanwan, but fighting with a "madman", Asada was a little panicked.
"Continue to send a report, tell these bastards about our situation here, and let them be careful themselves, if the Huaxia people dare to besiege us, then Huaxia's navy is very likely to have rushed into the Bohai Sea, right behind them!" With the transmission of a burst of radio waves, Asada's prophecy came true, and more than a dozen huge shadows were moving together on the Bohai Sea, rushing towards Dagukou.
