Chapter 158: Battle (Asking for Subscriptions, Monthly Passes, Asking for Various !! )

The Japanese air force that fell from the sky frightened the 61st Army outside Beiping City, and whether this Nima was a human or a ghost actually came down from the sky. The vast majority of the soldiers of the 61st Army are from the bottom of society, and they have been exposed to ghosts, gods, and demons since they were children, of course, because of their own sense of justice or hatred for the enemy, etc., they will not associate the Japanese army with the god generals, so it is natural to hook the Japanese paratroopers with the demon soldiers.

I don't know which bastard shouted a little devil will demon law, and suddenly the troops outside the city exploded, and some of the timid began to retreat, and what was even more unexpected was that those recruits who had just enlisted in the army ran backwards when they heard that the demon soldiers were scattered, fortunately Wang Hansheng saw the opportunity quickly, and ordered his guard battalion to kill seven or eight deserters who took the lead in escaping, and barely stabilized the battle line, otherwise the more than 30,000 troops of the 61st Army might become the first army to be frightened by the paratroopers.

However, Wang Hansheng also knew that this was only temporary, and now the army's morale was unstable, as long as the little devil charged, the position of the troops might collapse, so he had no choice but to send a report to Chen Feng in Tianjin, asking Chen Feng to give combat instructions.

Just when Wang Hansheng and the others were anxious, the telegraph operator finally waited for the telegram they had been waiting for for a long time. Wang Hansheng, as the supreme commander of the Beiping front at this time, took the telegram and read it, and after reading it, he passed the telegram to Zhang Jingjun next to him.

"I'm fucking just talking about how this little devil knows how to do demon magic, it turned out to be his mother's new army, and it almost scared Lao Tzu to pee." Zhang Jingjun said loudly.

"Since you don't know how to be a demon or a demon soldier, it's easy to say, I said how I heard the buzz of the plane. It turned out to be transported by plane, hum! Lao Zhang, you are in charge of your brigade, I am in charge of my brigade, our anti-aircraft machine guns fly one by one, even if the planes are not easy to fight, it is easy to fight those paratroopers, and prepare separately. Wang Hansheng said.

"Okay, then we'll split up and prepare, and let the artillery unit not stop, we have to put a few more artillery battles for that old devil in Terauchi Shouyi. It's the New Year, and it's a tribute to the old thing. Zhang Jingjun said.

Soon. One hundred and twenty anti-aircraft machine guns of the two brigades were concentrated, and then the muzzles of the guns were pointed at the Japanese transport planes, which were constantly falling with paratroopers.

A major in his twenties shouted an order: "All ready, fire flares!" Fire! ”

Since the parachute was carried out at night, visibility was low. Plus the capabilities of these paratroopers of the Japanese army are really limited. The equipment is also relatively backward. Therefore, the Japanese transport planes adjusted their flight altitude very low, only three or four hundred meters. Under the illumination of flares, huge transport planes showed their bodies in the night.

The characteristic sound of the Type 75 anti-aircraft machine gun pierced the night of Chinese New Year's Eve in 1938. When large-caliber bullets shredded one transport plane after another, which had almost no protective capabilities, a huge explosion sounded in the sky of Beiping.

Tonight is destined to be sleepless, whether it is Shouyi Temple in Beiping City or Chen Feng in Tianjin City, even the old man in Wuhan and Mao Weiren in Yan'an are also closely following the battle in Beiping.

The sudden appearance of the Japanese paratroopers not only frightened the 61st Army, but also caused the entire city of Beiping to fall into a panic. Like the troops outside the city, the citizens of the city were terrified by the huge monsters (parachutes) that kept falling from the sky.

In order to rescue Beiping City this time, the Japanese army made a bloody investment, and secretly transferred the paratroopers of this brigade and regiment trained in China to the northeast in the past few days, and finally all the paratroopers successfully arrived at the predetermined place this morning to assemble. Tonight, the Japanese army dispatched more than 200 transport planes to drop all 6,000 paratroopers over Beiping City.

To tell the truth, Major General Shimizu 21, the commander of the Japanese paratroop brigade parachuted at night, was not at all sure; although his paratrooper brigade had been formed for more than a year, there were not many opportunities to actually participate in high-altitude airborne landings, and most of the time they were simulated airborne at high-altitude training platforms. The most important thing is that the paratrooper brigade does not have any actual combat experience, and this air force general Beiping is the first show of the paratrooper brigade.

The first batch of airdrops went well, and there were no failures, all the hatches of the transport plane were opened, and all the soldiers jumped, as for the survival rate of several layers after landing, it depends on the creation of these soldiers.

However, the second batch of airdrops on Japan did not go smoothly, and more than 80 transport planes had just arrived in the airspace over Beiping, and before they could open the hatch for airdropping, they were attacked by the ground troops of China.

Qing Shui 21 had never seen such a dense number of bullets, only to see that the sky over Beiping was full of flying bullets, and from time to time transport planes were hit and disintegrated in the air, and from time to time fighters were injured, dragging their long tails and falling to the ground.

After the end of the second batch of airdrops, Qing Shui 21 immediately sent a telegram to the ground command center in Mukden, asking the ground command center to immediately inform the third batch of airdrop troops to pay attention to the ground firepower of the Zhina people, and the airdrop altitude must be increased to about 1,000 meters, and in addition, the speed of the soldiers' parachute jump must be controlled within one minute, otherwise the transport plane will be easily shot down by the Zhina.

With Qing Mizu's warning on 21 July, the third batch of airdrop troops became a lot smarter, the airborne altitude was greatly increased, and the speed of the Japanese paratroopers parachuting was also accelerated a lot, but in this way, the effect of this airdrop was 108,000 miles behind.

Wang Hansheng was really startled when he saw that huge parachute bags were floating towards his position, although he also believed that what the military seat said was true, and that under the big bag was just an ordinary devil soldier, but people's fear of the unknown is innate, which is like howling and crying when people are born, this is nature.

Seeing that the big bag was getting lower and lower, and when it was about to land on the ground, Wang Hansheng stiffly pulled the trigger in his hand, and the moving target at a distance of 100 meters was too simple for Wang Hansheng now. After hearing only a terrible howl belonging to a person, the man hanging under the parachute did not move again.

When the big bag landed, Wang Hansheng hurriedly sent someone over to bring the Japanese soldier and the parachute in the mouth of the military seat to untie the ropes that were entangled.

If you take a closer look, there are indeed some differences between this Japanese soldier and ordinary Japanese devils, that is, the weapons and equipment of these guys are not very different from ordinary soldiers. I saw that the rifle in this guy's hand was much shorter than the 38 big cover, and there was a pistol on this guy's body, you must know that the pistol thing is the prerogative of officers in both the Japanese army and the Chinese army, and soldiers do not have the right to wear pistols at all, does this guy happen to be an officer.

However, Wang Hansheng, who was familiar with the rank system of the Japanese army, obviously saw that there were only two red lanes on the military uniform of this corpse, which was obviously just a first-class soldier, not an officer at all.

Finding that these bastards were just little ghosts with painted faces, and the Hades who were not urging their lives, Wang Hansheng was furious, and ordered the troops to set up light and heavy machine gun mortars, and fired fiercely at the Japanese paratroopers in the sky, and the heavy artillery units also continued to bombard the Japanese troops in the city.

After a night of scuffle, after dawn, Wang Hansheng sent people to collect the corpses of Japanese paratroopers everywhere, and found more than 2,300 bodies outside the city, and also found a paratrooper unit of nearly 200 people in the northeast of Beiping City.

Qing Shui 21's mood was very heavy, the casualties of the paratroopers had just been counted, and only more than 2,700 paratroopers of a brigade had actually arrived at the predetermined place to assemble, and the rest were nowhere to be found, and even if we counted the number of paratroopers who had returned one after another, there would not be more than 3,000.

The casualties of the Zhilu Daokong general Beiping must be not small, but Qing Shui 21 did not expect that it would be so heavy, and before he could engage in a head-on battle with the enemy, his brigade lost more than half of it, how could this battle be fought.

When he learned that only more than 2,700 people in the paratrooper brigade had successfully completed the assembly, Terauchi Shouichi was a little surprised, and this result was far beyond his expectations. He knew this paratrooper unit very well, and it was really a miracle that 3,000 people could reach the predetermined location under such heavy artillery fire from the Chinese army.

And Terauchi Shouichi knows very well the significance of these 3,000 people to Beiping City, 3,000 people are really not much, compared to the huge Beiping City, 3,000 people can only add one or two hundred people to each position. But these 3,000 men gave hope to the defenders of the city, telling them that reinforcements would be there, that everything would be there, as long as they had the opportunity to enjoy it. Although the casualties of the paratroopers were not small, compared to the honor of the Imperial Japanese Army and the safety of the entire Beiping City, the casualties of several thousand people in this mere area were completely bearable.

Sure enough, the next day, the Japanese army's defense was more tenacious, and there was even a local small counteroffensive, this effect General Terauchi Shouichi was very satisfied, with the current momentum, it is probably impossible for the people of China to capture Beiping City without half a month. It doesn't take half a month, it only takes three or four days for the Kwantung Army outside the pass to complete the assembly and entry into the pass, and the imperial armies of Shandong and Hebei provinces will also return to Beiping, and then the people of China will have nothing to do but retreat.

And the performance of the new 3,000 paratroopers last night really satisfied General Terauchi Shouichi, these guys who wasted a lot of resources of the Great Japanese Empire, performed very unsatisfactory in the air one by one, but as soon as they landed, it was different, the combat effectiveness of these former army elites was amazing, and the tired Shina people suffered heavy losses under their counterattack.
