The battles of Wanping, Langfang, Tianjin, and Dagu lasted more than five hours, and the Japanese suffered heavy losses, and the 29th Army suffered more casualties. After several hours of fierce fighting, only Tianjin was lost, and that was also because of the internal sneak attack, which led to the collapse of the defensive line, otherwise, even if the heroic soldiers of the 29th Army could not hold Tianjin in the end, they would not let the Japanese army succeed so easily.

Wanping is still strong, Langfang and Dagu have not fallen, especially Zhang Zizhong's department, in the fierce battle, extremely brave, although the weapons are not as good as the Japanese army, the quality of individual soldiers can not catch up with the Japanese army, and the number is also not superior, but they have unyielding blood and will, and they survived in the tide of attacks.

After the irreversible outbreak of the battle, Lao Chiang's team immediately took action, and while increasing troops, they urgently consulted with the Japanese to avoid the expansion of the situation. At this time, Lao Chiang did not feel that the Japanese were going to invade the whole country, but only vented his anger.

The Japanese had a tough attitude, that is, they wanted Lao Chiang to withdraw the advance army from Heilongjiang and return Heilongjiang to Manchuria, otherwise, they would not give up.

Old Jiang is depressed, how can he have the energy to make the advance army withdraw? That's just a fantasy.

He Yingqing and Yan Laoxi fought the main battle, especially Yan Laoxi, after getting some new equipment and several tanks, he was somewhat inflated, and he didn't think that he could defeat Little Japan.

That night, when the fighting slowed down, Lao Chiang and several close ministers were discussing the actions and coping strategies of the Japanese army in his mansion.

Lao Jiang glanced at Yan Laoxi and said: "Bo Chuan, the current actions of the Japanese are no longer provocations, but they still have to be cautious in declaring war. ”

He Yingqing nodded in agreement: "The disadvantages of declaring war on Japan outweigh the benefits, once the war is declared and diplomatic relations are severed, the Japanese no longer have any scruples, and a peaceful solution will be impossible, and it will not work with the help of public opinion." ”

Lao Jiang stood up, paced two steps and said, "At present, it is necessary to increase the number of troops. But try to avoid the escalation of the situation, so as to leave room for maneuver, otherwise, our equipment is inferior to the Japanese army, and it is even more inappropriate to declare war, once war is declared. The aid we need will not be able to reach us, after all, the sea is now under the control of the Japanese, and those supplies will not be able to reach the land. In addition, it is possible for the Japanese side to notify the donor side to stop the aid in its capacity as a belligerent, and this ultimatum is very effective, so it is still not appropriate to declare war at this time. ”

Yan Laoxi thought so, and also thought that what Lao Jiang said was not unreasonable. Although he had a batch of weapons in his hands, he was not arrogant enough to need help. After all, the reserve of weapons is insufficient, and the materials are also scarce, and the war is like a gold-swallowing monster, without assistance, I am afraid that it will be difficult to fight a national war.

Yan Laoxi pondered for a moment and said, "Since it is not appropriate to declare war, then my troops will move closer to Beijing to avoid the Japanese army from easily occupying Beijing." At present, Tianjin has been lost, and Beijing has fallen again. It will be difficult to stop the advance of the Japanese army in Rehe, and it is impossible to see whether the current move of the Japanese army to the ground is a vent of anger or a warning. ”

"Indeed."

He Yingqing took over and said: "Once war is declared, Japan will expel the Chinese nationals in their homeland, and where will we get the ship to transport it back?" If you are not lucky, you will not be able to stand in the public opinion of the world. luck, and lack of ability, it is not difficult to predict what awaits them, and our credibility will be greatly damaged. Japanese expatriates, on the other hand, can enter the concession and be sheltered by the concession. will not be evicted from us. Therefore, I support Chiang Gong's plan, not to declare war for the time being, to increase troops to prevent the situation from escalating, and to strive to negotiate to settle the dispute and avoid falling into the huge attrition of the war. ”

As a result, in their research, several bigwigs loved that solution and put it on the peace talks, and did not plan to declare war.

While they were talking, Shouichi Terauchi, who had already stretched out his fangs, was also discussing with the high-level officials in China.

Shouichi Terauchi is an iron-fisted man, but he is also a scheming politician, he coldly swept Itagaki Seishiro, who proposed to declare war, and said: "Declaring war will do more harm than good for the empire, once war is declared, the United States and Britain will have an excuse to stand up, then it will not be the friction caused by the Manchurian dispute, but the war, so we will bite the bite to let the government of China return Heilongjiang, so that before we occupy the whole of China, the United States and Britain will have no reason to intervene, at least there is no reason to intervene by force, at most mediation." ”

"And after we complete the strategic goal, the next target is Soviet Russia, for the same reason, their red regime is a threat to the existence of the empire, I think Britain and the United States will not oppose our war against Soviet Russia, as long as we are given three years, we can complete the action of dominating Asia and blockading the sea, and at that time, the world will have to decide the direction based on our faces!"

"What we have to do now is to take these set goals in three days, break the will of the Chinese people to resist, occupy the rich land in half a year, and complete the entire goal in eight months!"

No one dared to refute Terauchi Shouichi's words at this time, and what he said was not unreasonable, once the declaration of war did more harm than good, then the boring battle is indeed the best policy, first stand firm, complete the first strategic goal, with enough foundation, the next step is easy to say.

Although Terauchi Shouichi said a little arrogant, they were also arrogant and did not think that they could not achieve the wooden goal, although they were repeatedly frustrated in the hands of the advance army, which was blamed on the insidious cunning of the advance army, taking advantage of the heavy snow season, the army was difficult to mobilize and succeeded.

As a result, the top brass of the Japanese army and the minister stationed in China handed over the decision to the base camp on the declaration of war, and waited for the base camp to make a decision.

In this regard, the undeclared war was tacitly brought to the table by the two sides, although Lao Chiang had not yet decided to fight against Japan in an all-out way, holding the illusion of peace talks, the intervention of the United States and Britain and other countries to resolve the dispute, but the general direction was set.

While they were discussing, Shunzi and Lao Zhao here in Heilongjiang were busy nervously.

The anti-aircraft artillery and trucks all turned off, and the horse-drawn people pushed the truck to the designated position, and then, with the efforts of manpower, the artillery entered the designated position with difficulty on the soft ground.

Lao Zhao and Shunzi each looked at the following table, and when the agreed eleven o'clock came, they ordered the bombardment to start at the same time.

The shooting of Zhu Yuan had already been preset, and let each of the thirty cannons fire in unison.

In the loud roar, the shells tore through the night, and in a group of ten, the echelons moved forward, and the shells fell on the Japanese barbed wire minefield in the night.

The thunderous explosion caused the mines planted by the Japanese army to be detonated one after another, and they gathered in the explosion, forming a more violent shock wave. The barbed wire, the barbed wire was instantly reduced to nothing under the violent shock wave.

In the blast of the air, one hundred and ten meters wide. The passage of three or four hundred meters long was left on the ground in the heat wave during a round of bombardment.

"Extension 5, Revision 3, Put!!"

With a loud roar, thirty 150 howitzers from the two artillery positions roared, one effective fire, and the thirty shells hit the heat wave without disappearing. Before the smoke and dust fell on the Japanese position, there was a loud bang, the ground shook and the mountains shook, and a huge fireball rose into the air, illuminating a kilometer radius of the house, and the smoke and dust in the sky covered the dark night sky with the rising fire.

"Commando on!!"

The moment the explosion rose and the earth shook, Lao Zhao and Junzi ordered at the same time.

The strength of a regiment jumped out of hiding in the order and swept in the rolling waves. The gritty skin ached, and he ran towards the place where the fire had just disappeared and the heat wave was still rolling.

At a distance of three or four hundred meters, the assault team rushed through quickly, and when they saw that they were about to enter the passage that was already empty of mines and barbed wire, they launched a fierce attack on the Japanese position.

At this moment, the sound of tom tom sounded from the Japanese position. Flares and mortars shot into the sky, and the earth was illuminated by incandescent light. The cilia are as bright as day.

The charging team was illuminated by the sudden floating weekly list, and there was nothing to hide, but the soldiers did not lie down, still maintained their top speed, and rushed forward desperately.

At this time. As long as you get close, even if those machine gun bunkers are protected by iron plates, they can't stop the direct aim of the grenade armor-piercing bullets, and the rhythm of the attack will be in the hands of this side.

But at the moment when they were running wildly. A few hundred meters away from the distance, the Dark Fort and Yanati, which should have been destroyed by the effective shot, suddenly erupted with tongues of fire, and in the sound of dada, a dense rain of bullets immediately poured down, and the barrage crashed into the charging crowd.

In the seeping sound of puff bullets piercing through flesh, the charging warriors were directly crushed, turned into a rain of blood, and floated in the night sky.

The protruding dense attack immediately blocked the charge of more than a thousand people, and swaths of warriors fell in the way of the charge, their blood sprayed and soaked the dark earth.

The fighters in the back fell down in time, but at this moment, nearly a third of the fighters never had a chance to get up again.

The lying warrior crawled and continued to approach, advancing firmly towards the goal in the blood of his comrades and the mud of the black soil.

Just as they entered the barbed wire area and approached the place where they were about to shoot tongues of fire, there was a sudden whistling sound in the sky.

The Japanese began shelling.

Dense shells rained down on the area that had been blasted out of the passage, and the loud roar of the bang stopped the soldiers from advancing in the sound of gunfire.

In the light of the fire, the soldiers broke their limbs and splintered into the air, and they were powerless to charge again except to roll in the shock wave and dodge near craters one after another.

Because, as long as the body is raised a little, it is impossible to dodge the dense bullets that strafe close to the ground.

Junko clearly saw the soldiers being raged by artillery fire in the binoculars, his eyes widened in anger, and he shouted, "Destroy the artillery positions for me!! ”

But as soon as his roar fell, one of the regiment commanders in charge of the shelling reported loudly: "Report to the chief, the enemy's artillery positions are more than 15 kilometers away, and it is expected that they are 20 kilometers, and our artillery has a range of only 13 kilometers......"

"Nyima!!"

The corners of Junko's eyes were almost torn, he stared at the soldiers in front of him who were struggling under artillery fire, but he was powerless to give them the support to suppress the firepower, he knew very well that at this time, the team could not retreat.

Indeed, no one will survive at all with such dense covered fire, after all, there is no cover, there is no shelter to hide from the bombing, and it is difficult for a regiment to have survivors.

Lao Zhao's scene at this time was exactly the same, the earth was trembling, and the firelight was the same as the lights of the dance hall, flickering continuously. During the shelling, whether they stood up, crawled, or hid in the crater, they could not avoid the shrapnel flying in the sky, and they could not resist the tearing of the violent shock wave, and they either broke their limbs or directly vaporized, and saw that the strength of a regiment was engulfed by artillery fire in a minute or two.

And the opposing artillery positions are also outside the range of their 150 howitzers, and they are the ultimate range of 105 heavy cannons. Obviously, the Japanese artillery was not aimed at suppressing the firepower on this side, but only aimed at the front of their own position, just above the barbed wire area of no more than 200 meters, and covered that one tightly.

Lao Zhao and Shunzi were distressed and angry, and after knowing that it was impossible for the troops to withdraw, they saw that there was no one flickering in the artillery fire, so they reluctantly ordered to continue to bombard the Japanese position.

With the order, the artillery fire on this side roared.

The shells fell in a concentrated manner, and the huge vibration force even the soldiers of the advance army and the fighters of the anti-union who were hiding in the distance were shocked to the inside of the abdomen.

This time, Lao Zhao and Shunzi didn't care about destroying the opponent's artillery position, they just wanted to destroy the Japanese troops on the position with effective shots, and shock them to death in the bunker, so that the artillery that lost its command would not be aimed twenty kilometers away.

The field range of the 105 heavy cannon can reach 20 kilometers away, but that is the limit distance, you need to push the cannon to the front of the enemy's position, not to mention that the heavy artillery that is too heavy cannot be transported on the soft ground after civilization, it is unrealistic to just get close to the enemy's position, after all, mortars and 92 infantry guns can dig deep to avoid the shelling here, once they enter their range, it is also fatal.

With the roar, the shells fell on the enemy's position in pieces, and the loud bang covered the continuous explosions, and there was only one sound in the heavens and the earth, that is, the sound of the thirty shells that had just fallen exploding at the same time. The violent shock made the earth rise and fall like a roller coaster, and even the soldiers lying on their stomachs hundreds of meters away felt the violent tremors, and their bodies shook up and down with the shaking of the earth.

One round of shells fell, but the shelling did not stop, and in the whistling sound, another round of shells fell in the same area, almost covering the area that had just been blown up, but also mostly overlapping.

"Don't stop!! Blow up these shit!! ”

Junko yelled.

The sacrifices of the warriors made his heart ache, but they did not make him lose his mind. Shelling a position in a row, according to the theory given by Dong Ku, even if the little devils hide in a two-meter-thick bunker, the amplitude of the effective firing of 150 shells is enough to shock them to death.

It is true that in the violent shock, the bunker with wood in the tunnel did not collapse, but there were almost no Japanese troops left, and even if they were alive, they had more air out and less air in. Most of the corners of the mouth are flowing with blood, and even more, while spitting blood, the lung lobe fragments are spit out happily, and the person is naturally dead and can no longer die.

Five consecutive rounds of potency landed in the same spot, knocking over the dirt there more than two meters deep, almost tearing off the wood from which the bunker had been built.

And the shelling of the other side also stopped at this moment, and lasted for a full fifteen minutes.

"Second echelon!!"

Junko yelled and gave the order to charge again. Without eyes, I see how you bombard?

But Junko soon discovered that he had misestimated little Japan.

Just as the team rushed to the position near the barbed wire fence and the previous regiment, tongues of fire suddenly erupted from the bunkers and bunkers that had already been dumbfounded, and the dense barrage blocked the troops' charging footsteps for a moment, and the attack was intercepted again in the rain of blood.

"Why didn't the little devil die??!!"

Junko looked at the tongue of fire that was spraying in the distance, and in a fit of rage, she couldn't understand how the other party had dodged the shelling. This is a large-caliber shot that is enough to shatter the internal organs!

The moment the Japanese decided to defend, they counted all the losses they had suffered in the battle with the advance army, using barbed wire mine arrays to block the opponent's charge, and blocking the road with machine guns designed with steel shields for sniping, and the machine gunners were really blind shots, and the commander was an observer in a small hole half a meter away, transmitting information to the machine gunners, directing the height and position of the muzzle.

As for how they dodged the devastating shock, it was not actually that the Japanese could resist, but that their passage connected to the bunker passage a few hundred meters away for rapid reinforcement. As soon as the machine gunners and observers in this position are silent, the second echelon will quickly rush to the front and re-control the machine guns when the enemy rushes closer.

The result of Lao Zhao was roughly the same, when the effective shooting was over and the enemy's artillery fire stopped, the charging team was also blocked...... (To be continued......)
