"The report is long, mainly as follows.

After fighting all night, the defenders of Baoding repelled the repeated attacks of the 57th Wing of the Yue Army, Dai Anlan of the 3rd Regiment was in command, and Wang Jun, the commander of the 1st Regiment, personally led the team to fight with the enemy with bayonets. At present, Baoding is safe and sound.

According to the latest battle situation, 10 minutes ago, the 3rd and 4th Divisions had just finished their 10-minute breakfast break and had continued on the road, and the current marching distance was 38 kilometers, and it was expected that they would be able to arrive at their intended combat position in Baoding on time tomorrow.

On the side of the Kuomintang army, the two main divisions and the original two railway garrison divisions had also set out, and the marching condition was basically good. ”

"Well, that's fine, I'll go to the office now, you guys are ready to report, I'll look at it in detail later."

After drinking some soy milk, Zhang Shusheng rushed to the office. After reading the latest situation on the battlefield in Tianjin, he then dealt with some urgent issues in the southwest, involving major economic and military matters, which required his personal signature before they could be passed.

Even if he was as strong as Zhang Shusheng, and Lu Yunyan and Mao Yunxian, who went to work early, collaborated, it took him an hour and a half to process these important documents.

"Yun Xian, you go and call Minister Zhou Duanzheng of the Logistics Department."

Zhang Shusheng remembered that there were some important things to tell Zhou Duanzheng, so he asked Mao Yun to notify first, close the door, and sit back in the office chair, Lu Yunyan thoughtfully massaged him, there is still a day's work, and the chief is really not a human being.

"Be careful, the fighting in the north is so strong, it would be nice if we could transport more tanks and armored vehicles." Hearing that her husband was looking for Zhou Duanzheng, Lu Yunyan also guessed that it was related to logistics and supplies, and whispered while massaging the man.

"It's useless, the weight of the tank determines the difficulty of its transportation. Nowadays, except for the southwest, the railway transportation of the whole of China is mainly concentrated in the central and eastern, and the north, it is too difficult to transport these heavy equipment from the southwest to the north. "Zhang Shusheng doesn't want to transport some tanks to the north, but even if it is an ultra-light tank, it may not be able to be transported by air, and the load and load-bearing capacity of the mountain-moving transport aircraft are still problematic, and it is necessary to wait until two or three years later after the medium-sized strategic transport aircraft is released before transporting light armored combat vehicles.

Judging from the current southwest region, it is certainly impossible to go north by land in the direction of Yucheng, Sichuan, and the railway has not been repaired, but the Jinghan Railway has been going north, but it is a big problem to transport tanks from Bashu to Wuhan through the Yangtze River. Not to mention that they were transported to Nanjing by boat from Guangdong to board the train, even Tianjin was occupied, and the Jinpu line could only get off halfway, and when the tanks drove to Beiping, it was estimated that the war was almost over. Moreover, the half-crippled railway between the Jinghan Line and the Jinpu Railway is the most important northbound transportation channel for Nanjing's political axe, and it is already the chairman's greatest permission to divide some of the transportation capacity of the Zhengtai Railway and the Jinghan Railway to the southwest transportation and supply. If you want to free up the tanks to cross the road, it will simply cost the life of the commissioner. There is definitely no hope for large-scale, it depends on whether a batch of light tanks can be transported north before the general offensive of the battle.

"Chief, you're looking for me."

"Sit down, I'm here to ask about artillery transportation." Zhang Shusheng recalled the logistics report a few days ago, and the report also had relevant data on the northward movement of artillery, but now that the Jinghan line has been temporarily cut off, people can't help but be a little worried, "Now there is a problem in the direction of Baoding, is there a problem with the transportation of artillery and ammunition?" ”

"Commander, in the past two months, we have basically completed the task of transporting the artillery of the divisional and regimental divisions of the four divisions. Ammunition guarantees two bases. If Baoding is finally fine, we will complete the subsequent transportation of a total of 500 supplementary guns, as well as an average of three to four base numbers of battlefield ammunition reserves for each artillery. Supplies in the air are not counted, and may be used to replenish the consumption of artillery shells at a later stage. ”

The figures mentioned by Zhou Duanzheng were not set by the logistics department, but were calculated by logistics experts and military department staff officers after the transportation capacity of the southwest, north, and south was reported to the military headquarters. It is also very simple to transport without airplanes, it is a waste of capacity, but it can transport shells in the later stage, and one plane can also carry several tons of shells, which is more efficient than transporting artillery.

"So that we will have 1000 guns, as well as three or four base shells."

Zhang Shusheng nodded, not surprised by this number. Due to the proper design, the artillery in the southwest is actually very convenient to disassemble and transport, except for several heavy guns with a caliber of more than 155mm, they can be disassembled and assembled relatively quickly, so that it is relatively easy to transport the artillery to Wuhan and board the vehicle, and it is relatively easy to go north.

Neither the Kuomintang nor the army would have thought that Zhang Shusheng, who was far away in the southwest, would have the ambition to transport 1,000 artillery pieces to the north, which is simply unprecedented.

The reason why the military headquarters was asked to transport more artillery to the north at the beginning was mainly to form a comprehensive firepower superiority over the Japanese army. After the air force has the superiority of suppression, the army will lose even more combat effectiveness after being suppressed by the two major firepower of the air and ground. You must know that the main artillery of the northward march this time is 105mm field guns, although the transportation is a little troublesome, and it is much slower (it will take at least four months to prepare for logistics), but once this kind of artillery forms a cluster advantage, the army will be wiped out whether it is offensive or defensive. The power of a 105mm shell is already the same as that of advanced foreign 122mm guns, if you can concentrate hundreds of such guns (1000 guns cannot all be 105mm, there are also a considerable number of 88mm anti-aircraft guns and 70mm 24-year infantry guns. Mortars are not counted. Like the bears of the north and the heroes of the European battlefield, then, the devils who have never suffered large-scale, or even super-large-scale shelling, will enjoy an extraordinary artillery disaster.

This is also why Zhang Shusheng decided to hold on outside the city of Beiping and hold back the Yue army, so as to send sappers to step up the overhaul of the Zhengtai Railway and the Jinghan Railway, while constantly transporting more heavy weapons to the north, not to mention the locomotives and wagons alone, the southwest transported a lot of landings from Wuhan.

Four months is enough time for the southwest to accumulate strength.

Especially when tanks are temporarily unable to go north in batches, it will be the wisest choice to transport a large number of artillery guns to the north. Moreover, because of the follow-up strategic considerations, the artillery plan to go north will continue, even if the battle in Jinjing is over.

Therefore, Zhang Shusheng especially ordered that when the war was not very urgent, the artillery should be mainly supported and suppressed as much as possible. Wait until the large group of artillery is in place, and then inflict absolute heavy losses on the army.

Zhou Duanzheng knew that the commander-in-chief must be concerned about the issue of Baoding, and also said by the way, "Because the main force of the Baoding operation this time is our southwest troops, after consulting with the Kuomintang, we have obtained more transportation rights." Probably later today, we will have a batch of 3,000 submachine guns and 600,000 rounds of pistols and submachine gun general-purpose ammunition rushed to Baoding, and the railway from Baoding to Zhengding was stationed with the first regiment of Baoding and a second division of the monarch behind it, and the damage of the middle [***] team was very small.

In this way, under the attack of a division of the Chinese army, our defenders will not be at a great disadvantage. In addition, we have also prepared an airdrop plan, and several sorties of C-31 mountain-moving transport planes will take off at noon at Taiyuan North Airport to drop a batch of food, medicine, pistols, and ammunition. Because a bayonet battle broke out in Baoding, the military headquarters airlifted these pistols in accordance with the order you just gave last night, in order to minimize casualties. ”

For example, although the number of main divisions is only ten, the equipment is good, especially at this critical moment, the southwest, which has effective means of air transportation, will not hesitate to transport a large number of pistols and submachine guns to the front line.

Yes, the southwest cannot ensure the consumption of submachine guns and other automatic weapons in the four divisions, but the southwest is flexible and can focus on supporting key battles, and cannot guarantee the nearly 60,000 people in the four divisions, but it can ensure the emergency consumption of 2 to 3,000 people. It is absolutely appropriate for the soldiers to fight with the army, but on the premise that the morale has been tempered and the soldiers have been trained to fight in actual combat, airlifting a large number of pistols over is also an effective emergency method to reduce the casualties of the soldiers. Let the defense troops of the two regiments (two battalions on the position) risk their lives and fight with the army for bayonets, it is better to transport thousands of pistols. Weapons can be recreated, and one more soldier who could have died would have been a big loss.

This is also what Zhang Shusheng learned from later generations, and the whole world scolds Americans for being stupid and coarse, and full of money. In fact, under normal circumstances, it is necessary to minimize the casualties of combat troops. Battles need to be fought, and soldiers should not be cabbage in the field.

It is foreseeable that Baoding will face a lifeless attack by a division and regiment, and an additional 3,000 submachine guns and hand-to-hand pistols will not only better hold the position, but also greatly reduce casualties.

"I heard that the people of the Special Intelligence Department have recently investigated several cases of intent to get involved in military supplies, you have to check more, no matter who it is, even if you are only suspicious, no matter how high your position is, you will report to the Ministry of Special Intelligence, and whoever dares to get involved in such important military materials will be punished with a third-degree crime."

Zhang Shusheng once again reaffirmed the logistics regulations that were originally written and ironclad.

"Baga, a wing didn't capture a single position."

When the commander of the Fifth Division, Yanagawa Heisuke, finally led the main force of the Fifth Division to the periphery of Baoding, the whole person almost jumped in anger, as one of the newly promoted lieutenant general division commanders of the empire, Yanagawa Heisuke has a deep imperial [***] imprint, with bushido as the flaunt, to be loyal to the emperor, and to open up the empire's territory as its own responsibility.

This plan for the attack was not so much proposed by Shirakawa Yoshinori as Yanagawa Heisuke and Shirakawa Yoshinori together, and the two had almost identical ideas at the beginning.

Yanagawa Heisuke felt deep anger at the incompetence of the Sixth Division, and unanimously believed that if his Fifth Division arrived in China first and was responsible for attacking Langfang, it would definitely be able to take the Langfang position, win the initiative for the empire, and lay the foundation for the decisive surname to completely occupy Beijing and Tianjin, and then go north to encircle and annihilate the Ningjin defense line.

He regretted that he could not fight the Chinese Southwest Army, which was rumored to be a force that could shake the main division of the empire. However, in order to cut off the supply lines of the Chinese and thus end the battle early, Yanagawa Heisuke gave up the idea of a frontal attack and took the initiative to attack Baoding.

However, the facts always disappoint him.

Last night, Yanagawa Heisuke, who had been marching overnight, received a call back from the 57th Wing of the Japanese Army, which was attacking Baoding. It is said that the defensive fire of the Chinese is fierce, but the 57th Wing is organizing a brave attack.

At that time, he did not take this telegram at ease, thinking that a wing to attack the position of a Chinese regiment, no matter how difficult the process, should not be a problem in the end.

As a result, he saw that the fifty-seventh infantry wing suffered heavy losses, with six or seven hundred dead and wounded, which meant that the combat attrition amounted to one-sixth.

For Yanagawa Heisuke, this is a very scary number, you must know that it is only a night attack, and the opponent has only one regiment, under the premise that it is impossible to put all of them on the position, one or two battalions will kill and wound so many emperor [***] people at night, unless it is not the middle [***] team that defends the position, but the German [***] team.

"Even in front of the Germans, the Reich can be victorious, let alone the China." Yanagawa Heisuke thought so, and immediately met the co-captain of the 57th Wing, Konoe Mato.

"Baga, you are a shame for the emperor [***], a night of fighting, not only did not take the [***] position, but caused the emperor [***] to suffer heavy casualties......"

As soon as they met, Yanagawa Heisuke scolded Konoe Mato, which made the wing captain ashamed and even more aggrieved.

After a long time, when Yanagawa Heisuke was tired of scolding, he said, "Hayi, my subordinates are incompetent, and there is an update on the situation." According to the investigation of the imperial agents, the opposite squadron [***] was not one regiment, but two regiments, and moreover, they were not Chiang Kai-shek's backward army, but the southwest elite regiment of the Zhina people. ”

"The main force of the Shina people?" Yanagawa Heisuke heard this and calmed down his anger slightly, and a lot of doubts rose in his heart, although he never took the Chinese in his eyes, he still knew that the two southwestern regiments of the Shina people had at least six to eight thousand troops. This is completely inconsistent with the original information, from yesterday to today, could this regiment have fallen from the sky?

What he didn't know was that he really guessed correctly, and the [***] team did fall a regiment from the sky.

"How is the combat effectiveness of the Chinese? Is it the same as what is rumored by other emperor [***] teams? "This is what Heisuke Yanagawa cares about the most.

"The Chinese are very combative, they have some automatic weapons and pistols, last night, my troops broke through their positions several times, only to be shamefully repelled by them with submachine guns and pistols.

But the most important thing is that they also have a flare that far exceeds the equipment of our empire, and it is much stronger than ours in terms of air time and lighting effect. The new machine gun used by the Chinese in Langfang has a very terrifying rate of fire, several times faster than the Imperial Type 92 heavy machine gun, and the time of one flare can completely suppress a squad of Emperor [***] people. ”

"Do they have a lot of submachine guns?" Yanagawa Heisuke asked with a tight frown.

"No, the number of submachine guns is actually not much, about two or three in a platoon."

"Yo Xi, that's true!"

Yanagawa Heisuke said, this is okay, if the Chinese shit luck happens to be equipped with submachine guns like so many heavy machine guns in the Langfang battlefield, it will be a disaster.

However, he also firmly believed that it would not, first of all, there was no main division of the Chinese here to concentrate equipment on the defensive troops, and he suddenly led his troops to raid, and did not give them more time to prepare.

Unlike Yanagawa Heisuke's optimism, thinking of this, Konoe Mato was on the verge of rage, obviously rushing to the position several times, but how much was blocked when he went up, often only a few bayonets, the Chinese shamefully carried submachine guns or pistols, and solved the emperor [***] people who went up.

And flares and rippers as the main executioners. Often as soon as the flare is raised, the Chinese's shameful machine gun sounds, this machine gun is powerful, not to mention, the rate of fire is at least several times that of the Type 92 heavy machine gun equipped by the empire, just during the period when the flare is raised, it can very easily strafe hundreds of bullets, the Chinese seem to be not stingy with bullets, relying on the shameful combat means of irregularly firing flares plus high-speed shooting suppression of new machine guns, and desperately blocking the attack of the emperor [***] people.

The only heavy machine guns and grenadiers that could suppress them were counter-suppressed in the light of flares because of their limited numbers and the fact that they were subject to night fighting.

Hearing this, Yanagawa Heisuke understood what was going on, according to his thinking, even if the Chinese had two regiments, but under the decisive attack of one wing, the hastily constructed position could not stop the emperor [***] people at night. However, I did not expect the Chinese to use weapons and tactics so skillfully.

He knew the role of flares in night battles, and his Fifth Division had also trained them in this way, and during night battles, as soon as flares were fired, heavy machine guns or other weapons would be effective in attacking the enemy exposed to the night. However, the Empire's flares were not very effective due to their short stay in the air, poor illumination, low rate of fire from machine guns and rifles, and lack of individual automatic weapons.

But when it comes to the Chinese, it's completely reversed. As soon as the flares were lifted into the air, not only the machine guns in the current position could fire, but the machine guns in other positions were also brought in to provide muzzle support. Several times the rate of fire of the Imperial machine gun, it only takes two or three seconds of short fire to destroy or suppress half of the Imperial infantry squad.

"Konoe-kun, as a wing captain, I want to see you perform well in the next battles. The Chinese's position is not built like their Ningjin defensive line, or even their Beiping defensive line, we just need to be braver and carry forward the spirit of bushido, and they will be wiped out.

The strength of a reinforced division and four infantry wings is not something that two regiments of the Chinese people can stop. As long as Baoding is completely occupied, the empire's Jinjing battle plan will be completely centered on us, strangle the supply lines of the Chinese people, and finally complete the combat mission. ”

"Haiyi, your subordinates must carry forward the spirit of bushido and charge to the death."

Yanagawa Heisuke nodded, then turned around and ordered, "The new attack will start fifteen minutes later, the artillery unit will prepare artillery support, the 57th Wing will be responsible for the first wave of attack, and the other three wings will be ready for attack at the same time. The reinforced grenadier combat teams, with the attacking troops, are ready to suppress the Chinese machine gun positions with firepower, and we will take the Chinese positions in one go. ”

Just when the main force of the army arrived, Dai Anlan and Wang Jun also received information, and a series of good things before almost made the two regiment commanders a little happy.

"I said Lao Wang, these things are really timely rain."

Dai Anlan looked at the materials that were urgently sent to the front line, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, the boxes of submachine guns, thousands of pistols, as well as the latest ammunition supplies, broadsword mines, etc., were all timely rain.

"Yes, with these guys, I see what else the army can rely on to rush up."

The pistol is still a sharp weapon in close combat, but the submachine gun is different, even if the army swarms up, from a distance of a few meters to 200 meters, it will be covered by the crazy fire of the submachine gun.

Unfortunately, it is very likely that the Yue army, which is fond of large-scale charges, will use the grenadiers to slightly suppress the heavy machine-gun fire of the [***] team, and then adopt a dense human charge.

At this time, for the first time in the world, they will create a leading advantage, which is to enjoy the VIP treatment on the battlefield and taste the point-to-face close-range slaughter of individual automatic weapons.

Hundreds of thousands of rounds of ammunition, supplies that can be airdropped at any time, and 3,000 submachine guns, if it were not for the total annihilation of the Fifth Division, the main force of the army, perhaps with these automatic firepower alone, this division and regiment would be able to defeat this division and regiment, cut them off from Baoding's dream, and turn it into a complete fantasy.

The two immediately agreed that if they launched a tentative attack, they must be low-key and low-key, and they bet that they would rely on the strength of the crowd and try to charge to the death to win the position, then there would be a good show.

"My political axe, this is really a good thing, hahaha......"

When Hou Xiaoshan saw boxes of submachine guns being carried to the position, the whole person almost jumped up with joy, his forehead that was wiped by a stray bullet last night didn't seem to hurt anymore wrapped in gauze, and he was a company commander, but he didn't care about his illness at all, rushed to the box, picked up a submachine gun and showed off his might.

"Tsk, my M24, hahaha......"

Wu Peiqiang, who was wiping the sniper rifle and preparing to kill during the day, also rushed over, lifted a submachine gun, grabbed a few magazines in the ammunition box, and couldn't close his mouth with joy.

This submachine gun, known as the M24 type, was designed and produced in 24 years, which was designed and produced by the famous gun MP5 in the southwest, with light weight, high accuracy, large ammunition capacity, and small recoil, in addition to the firing range, it is almost an impeccable individual rapid-fire weapon.

However, with the financial resources of the southwest, although only one or two submachine guns were distributed to the grass-roots squads of the main division (most of them were distributed one), and there was no large-scale rearmament, the strategic reserve plan implemented by the southwest from the beginning allowed the southwest to have a considerable amount of advanced weapons in reserve at any time.

Based on Zhang Shusheng's experience in his previous life, he naturally knew what weapons would not become obsolete and what weapons could be stored for a long time, without having to hastily hunt them on a large scale, thus causing a waste of financial resources. Taking the M24 submachine gun as an example, every year the troops are issued with stock, and the inventory is consumed, and then replenished, so the southwest can open the strategic warehouse at any time and take out a batch of M24 submachine guns that are not obsolete and have a very considerable number.

The shooting training of this M24 submachine gun, the main force has also carried out many times, with the level of professional soldiers of the Southwest Army, even if it is only tested once a year, you can also find out the shooting essentials of this submachine gun, in addition to the fact that it is really very simple, the soldiers can use it normally as long as they remember not to pull the trigger and not let go, and properly adjust the muzzle.

"Company commander, wait a minute, look at me, far and near, kill a few more devils to avenge your broken appearance." Wu Peiqiang is very unaccustomed to calling Hou Xiaoshan Company Commander, but military discipline is like this, and he never calls Hou Xiaoshan's cousin in front of outsiders. Last night, he was startled, and thought that his cousin was bitten on the head by a stray bullet, but he didn't expect to just wipe it, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to go back to explain to his aunt, and the old man would probably be angry to death on the spot.

Soon after the mass distribution of submachine guns and pistols, the artillery bombardment of the Japanese army began.

"Shelling, dodge!"

In fact, without the company commander, the soldiers of the Southwest Army rolled into the anti-artillery hole not far from themselves, because they knew that the troops at the division and regimental level would definitely carry mountain artillery or infantry artillery, and at the worst there were also a large number of mortars and grenadiers, so Dai Anlan and the others asked the troops to dig more anti-artillery holes, and also pulled the reserve team up to help dig them. Unless shit falls directly into the trench or shrapnel flies on both sides of the trench, it will be difficult for the army's small-caliber gadgets to hurt the soldiers hiding in the holes.

Under the order of Yanagawa Heisuke, the Yue army only launched a feint to test the surname, and this feint, the counterattack of the southwest army was a little lazy, and only played a very ordinary level. Seeing this, Yanagawa Heisuke completely put down his mind and ordered the start of the attack on all fronts.

"Dog, the devil actually only tried once, and began to charge on all fronts."

The shelling did not last long, and even before it stopped, the Yue army launched a charge, and the figure of the Yue army appeared in front of the entire Baoding defense line nearly two miles long, looking at the Yue army all over the mountains, and even gave people the illusion that they were in the battlefield of the group army.

"Give the order for shelling." Dai Anlan said to Wang Jun on the side, what made him a little uncomfortable was that the third regiment, which was airlifted, had lost almost all the heavy equipment, and the infantry artillery, which was originally very convenient for transportation, had not been brought.

The infantry guns of the regiment opened fire very quickly, and the infantry guns of the 24-year type, the regiment had an artillery battalion for a full purpose. At the sound of an order, fifteen 24-year-old infantry guns, all equipped with them, opened fire together, and with the muffled sound of mortars, countless fires suddenly exploded in the attacking ranks of the Yue army.

Although the effect of the artillery bombardment was good, the Yue army took a full-front attack, and after entering the range of the grenadiers, the Yue army, which had adjusted its strategy, actually began to crawl forward, and the grenadier squad was ready to fire, and the two-person team was ready to suppress the Chinese's machine gun fire points at any time.

"Hit!"

When the offensive front of the Yue army finally advanced to a distance of more than 200 meters, Wang Jun, who was mainly in charge of the position, finally gave the order to shoot.

Almost at the same time, the grenadier group of the Yue Army also opened fire, firing small grenades, almost aiming directly at the machine gun position, although the Yue Army of the Fifth Division, although in order to march quickly, also lacked large-caliber heavy weapons, but this kind of small goods were extremely numerous, and for a time actually faintly suppressed the heavy machine gun fire of the Southwest Army. At the very least, these grenadier groups, specially reinforced by Yanagawa Heisuke, gave the attacking troops the opportunity to attack without having to stand straight against the frenzied Chinese machine guns.

"Yo Xi, the machine guns of the Chinese are not as dense as those reported on the battlefield in Langfang."

Yanagawa Heisuke breathed a sigh of relief, and after observing the machine gun fire of Naka[***], he breathed a sigh of relief, relying on the grenadier group that he insisted on reinforcing before he came, he was able to suppress the machine gun fire of the Shina people, (a grenadier group configured by a division and regiment to suppress the machine guns of two battalions) This made him feel a lot more confident.

When he came to China, he heard that the Chinese had an advanced machine gun, and the rate of fire was very terrifying, especially in Langfang, the despicable and shameless Chinese people, with the large-scale use of that new machine gun, almost killed an entire wing, and the attack of the two wings became a shame for the entire emperor.

However, this time it was different, this time the hasty Shina people obviously did not have so many machine guns and ammunition, and they themselves were not two wings, but four reinforced wings. The grenadiers were specially prepared for the heavy fire points of the Chinese people.

"Kill it!!"

Not only Yanagawa Heisuke, but Konoe Mato also found out that His Excellency the commander of Yanagawa Heisuke's division was really wise, and the strengthened grenadier power actually played such a role, so the rest of the matter was left to the brave imperial infantry.

Without a word, Konoe Mato, who had suffered from last night's humiliation, was the first to hold the saber and ordered a charge. He was convinced that relying on individual rifles, the Chinese would never be able to withstand the attack of a reinforced division.

"It's dangerous."

Dai Anlan and Wang Jun couldn't help but take a breath of cold air when they saw the battlefield situation, although they had long heard of the fame of the grenadier of the Yue himself, Dai Anlan had even fought with the Yue army in Langfang, and the number of grenadiers of the Yue army was small at that time, not only could not suppress the large-scale equipment of the Ripper machine gun, but was suppressed by the machine gun and could not raise his head. But today, it is really surprising that the Fifth Division, which had suffered a heavy loss from the Southwest Army, actually brought so many grenadiers to the front line.

But fortunately, although the Southwest Army did not deploy the Rippers on a large scale this time, they brought submachine guns, and the devil was guilty.

"It's all steady, don't fire yet."

Hou Xiaoshan faithfully gave the order to delay the firing, although the submachine gun has an effective range of 200 meters, it is still not as good as a close fire of about 100 meters or even tens of meters, and only a closer can make the devil suffer more casualties. Within a short distance, even if the devil between a few tens of meters and two hundred meters turns around and runs, he must have the life to run beyond this distance.

In the face of the Chinese's death-like silent position, although the Yue army was a little surprised, but did not stop the charge, half-slumped body, the devils rushed forward one by one with a roar, all the devils heard the continuous sound of grenadiers firing behind them, and their own side finally had the help of divine weapons, which was a perfect opportunity to rush to the position and kill the people of Zhina.

The timid China, fearing that he would be killed by a grenadier, accidentally pushed a machine gun and fired a shuttle. Stupid Zhina, don't you know that with this intensity of shooting, you can't stop the charge of the emperor's [***] people?

"Kill it!!"

When he rushed into the distance of 100 meters, Konoe Mato couldn't help it even more, and roared again to lead the team to charge, and the glory of the emperor [***] seemed to be about to be exchanged by his own hands.

At this time, the officers and men of the southwest in the trenches were already holding a submachine gun in their hands, holding it tightly in their hands, making the final preparations before strafing.

"This fool, rushing with a saber, really thinks that he is the emperor's possessed sword, which is better than a gun." Although some were touched by the spirit of this officer who was not afraid of death, Hou Xiaoshan scoffed, for fools, even if he dared to go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, he would not admire the slightest bit.

Hou Xiaoshan, like all the officers and soldiers, took one last look at the submachine gun in his hand and said, "Brother, give him a shot, Lao Tzu has been staring at him for a long time." ”

Wu Peiqiang also nodded, this infantry wing captain is too eye-catching, and I don't know how many people are eyeing him, although he also thinks that his courage is commendable, as a senior general, he dares to charge with a command knife, but he still has to be killed, otherwise, other brothers will take the lead.

"Bang!"

Aiming at the somewhat bloated figure, calculating the amount in advance, calmly pulled the trigger, the sniper rifle shook violently, and at the moment when he completely retracted the trench, Wu Peiqiang saw that the entire head of the devil officer was like a watermelon that had been kicked open.

"Hit!!"

The wing captain was sniped on the spot, and after a perfect headshot performance by Wu Peiqiang, the best marksman in the battalion, Wang Jun also roared and gave the order to shoot.

At this time, the tranquility of the position was broken.

The soldiers quickly raised their heads slightly, held their submachine guns, and pulled the trigger fiercely in the face of the devil who had recently rushed to thirty meters and could already see the hideous face clearly.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

The whole battlefield was filled with the sound of dense submachine guns, and many of the devils who had rushed to more than twenty meters and were about to stand and shoot, were shocked to find that all the Chinese [***] people were holding a short weapon, which was by no means a rifle.

However, they soon learned that this dense submachine gun, like an autumn wind sweeping away leaves, swept them down.

From a distance of tens of meters to hundreds of meters, countless soldiers were swept by submachine guns, and except for a few who dodged on the ground, a considerable number of people were swept into a sieve on the spot. And the people who rushed behind only heard the dense gunshots, and as soon as they lay down, they saw the samurai in front being swept down by the Chinese's weapons in pieces.

"Yaga!!! Ahhhh......h

In the distance of the battlefield, when Yanagawa Heisuke saw through the telescope what was happening in front of the Chinese position, he kicked the staff officer next to him with a furious kick and kicked the innocent staff officer over.

"Retreat, retreat immediately!!"

Without Yanagawa Heisuke's order, the army that was shot at by such a dense automatic weapon had already run backwards automatically, and not every soldier was a samurai possessed by the emperor, and the fear of death almost became a contagion spreading among the army, and the troops began to try to retreat like a tide.

On the other hand, the Southwest Army, with three battalions and nearly 2,000 submachine guns, was concentrated in the hands of front-line officers and men, and the world's first record of using individual automatic weapons on a large scale was born today.

"Blow the trumpet, and rush with Lao Tzu!!"

Of course, Dai Anlan and Wang Jun would not be stupid enough to watch Yue Jun run back, all the submachine guns in their hands were in their hands, of course they had to charge, if they didn't charge at this time, would they stare at them only after Yue Jun went back.

"Didi ......"

The high-pitched charge horn sounded the moment the army turned around, and the Southwest Army, which had already fought with blood boiling all over its body, immediately turned out of the trench with a submachine gun and roared.

"Da Da Da ......"

The Ripper heavy machine gun was also adjusted to fire, and it was no longer as unscrupulous as just now, firing at the retreating Japanese army.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

The entire battlefield was filled with the crisp sound of this submachine gun, and the soldiers of the Southwest Army held the submachine guns and drove the souls of the soldiers all the way like ducks. One by one, the soldiers were shot and fell, and the entire battlefield was filled with the wails of the wounded soldiers.

They can charge at the Chinese's machine guns, they can charge at the risk of stepping on mines, but they dare not charge at such a small machine gun. The time to pull the bolt was enough to be sieveed by seven or eight bullets.

More than 2,000 people, and even a battalion of Dai Anlan also joined in, a total of three battalions of counter-charge, unprecedented intensive firepower, harvesting the devils piece by piece, all the soldiers who are still running, all the soldiers who fall, will not become prisoners, they are all a shuttle past.

"Yaga ......" Yanagawa Heisuke only felt that his feet were cold, and his whole person was as if he had been struck by lightning, he never expected that the attack on the whole front would lead to such a result, and the Fifth Division was destined to suffer heavy losses. Artillery and heavy machine-gun fire groups were ordered to concentrate on blocking the 300-meter line. ”

"Your Excellency ...... Division Commander" staff officers have numb scalps and concentrate on blocking, so even if they block the Chinese countercharge, the emperor [***] people between 300 meters and 100 meters will also face the coverage of machine gun fire.

"Bang!"

"Baga, give the order !!"

Yanagawa Heisuke didn't say a word, turned around and pulled out his matching gun, shot it at the staff officer's thigh, and gave the order with a roar.

"The withdrawal is coming. It's a pity, I didn't expect this devil to be so ruthless. ”

Dai Anlan was preparing to put the remaining troops into it, preparing to follow the defeated troops of the Yue army and give the devils greater damage, but he didn't expect the devils to dare to use heavy machine guns and artillery fire to block the distance of 300 meters in front of the Chinese position, although the devils who died under their own guns were far more than the dead and wounded Southwest Army, but they finally let the devils escape back and were not driven all the way to the starting position.

The Southwest Army retreated and began to hide in the trenches again, preparing to play offensive and defensive battles with the devils.

Wang Jun smiled and put down the binoculars and picked up a cigarette, "An Lan, you're right, the devil is going to die this time." ”

On the afternoon of July 3, 1932, the Fifth Division of the Chinese Army launched a comprehensive attack on the position of the Southwest Army, and because of the far underestimation of the firepower configuration of the middle [***] team, the attacking troops of the Fifth Division were subjected to the first intensive submachine gun fire in history, and in just half an hour, the casualties of the Yue army were extremely heavy. This is also the first time that submachine guns have appeared on the stage in large-scale battles as individual automatic weapons, and the eyes of the world have once again attracted the Chinese, whose infantry, like their aircraft carriers, has once again created a legend.

At 12 noon on July 4, 1932, the 3rd Division and the 4th Division of the main force of the Southwest Army, which had attacked the long-distance march, arrived at the periphery of the Baoding battlefield and basically completed the encirclement of the Yue Army.

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon of July 4, 1932, the Tianjin Dispatch Army finally discovered that the [***] squadron had transferred the main force to Baoding, intending to completely annihilate the Fifth Division. Immediately ordered two divisions to launch a fierce attack on the Beiping defensive line, intending to encircle Wei and save Zhao, while the other two divisions quickly marched to the direction of Baoding.

On the evening of July 4, 1932, the vanguard of the Yue Army was 50 kilometers away from Baoding and was desperately blocked by four Kuomintang divisions.

The five major battles of blocking battle, rescue battle, breakthrough battle, defensive war, and annihilation war were staged in the Baoding battle circle.
