Chapter 206, Fengtai 8
Tong Linge nodded his head, recalling the bloody battle on the Great Wall back then, the 29th Army can be said to have done its best to fight hand-to-hand with the well-equipped and well-trained Japanese army, and the troops suffered heavy casualties and blood flowed like a river! After holding out for two or three months, the Chinese troops who participated in the front-line war consumed a lot of personnel and ammunition, and their combat effectiveness dropped very badly. However, the Nanjing authorities insisted on not increasing their troops in North China, and in particular, they were not allowed to participate in the northward transfer of the Central Army to the "Red Party." As a result, the Great Wall was lost one after another, and He Yingqin could only shrink his forces and ensure the deployment of Pingjin! In the end, Xiong Bin, chief of the Operations Department of the General Staff, and Okamura Ninji, the Japanese representative, signed the "Tanggu Armistice Agreement", demarcating the 22 counties in eastern Hebei as a demilitarized zone, and the army was not allowed to enter, and the Japanese army retreated to the north of the Great Wall. Therefore, the Republic of China and the puppet Manchukuo were in fact bounded by the Great Wall, and the puppet Manchukuo even erected boundary monuments of "Great Manchukuo, the royal paradise", in various parts of the Great Wall. After a pause, Tong Linge suddenly asked, "What's the situation in Fengtai Town?" ”
Zhao Dengyu replied: "Intelligence shows that the Tianjin Independent Regiment is in big trouble, their opponent is the elite Independent Mixed 11th Brigade, and the total strength of the devils will not be less than 8,000 people!" "What? There were 10,000 devils who attacked our more than 20,000 Nanyuan defenders, and against an independent regiment with only more than 1,000 troops, the little devils actually dispatched an independent mixed brigade with a full strength of 8,000 people? Damn, this is simply looking down on our 29th Army! Hearing this information, Tong Linge initially thought that the devil was a heavy soldier to encircle and suppress the military important place of Nanyuan, but through such a comparison, he suddenly felt that the little devil was too rampant, and he didn't take the 29th Army troops stationed in Nanyuan in his eyes at all! Zhao Dengyu smiled dryly: "Deputy Commander Tong, at this time, do you still think that we have taken advantage?" I communicated with Commander Yang of the Independent Regiment before about whether he wanted to support the troops to defend Fengtai together, but he decisively refused, just hoping that we could hold our positions and try our best to keep Fengtai from being attacked by the enemy! "Chief of Staff Jiang is really a master of art and bold!"
Tong Linge didn't know what to say, so he could only nod his head and said: "Then there is no need to say, we are 10 times the strength of the independent regiment, if we can't even compare with the independent regiment, then we might as well find a piece of tofu and kill it!" "Deputy Army Commander Tong, all the soldiers of our teaching regiment strongly request to participate in the war, and it is best to go directly to the front line of Lugou Bridge to kill the little devils!" At this moment, Zhang Shouling, the head of education of the 29th Army Teaching Corps of the National Revolutionary Army, came to Tong Lin Pavilion with a letter of invitation! "I'd rather die in battle than be a slave to the country! Well, well said! Tong Linge took the letter of invitation and looked at it, although there were only eight big characters on it, it made him see a burning anger and hatred for the enemy, and then nodded and said: "Call them in, I will tell them a few words later!" ”
Zhang Shouling said with some embarrassment: "Deputy Commander Tong, there are too many of them, they can't stand here at all!" "Oh, let's go out and have a look!" Tong Linge nodded in a sudden realization, and then walked out of the military headquarters quickly, and saw at a glance that the overgrown field was full of excited training group students! "Deputy Commander Tong, we resolutely ask to join the war!" "The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, we would rather die in battle than die in the country!" "Deputy Commander Tong, I just received a letter from my hometown, saying that my wife and daughter committed suicide after being ruined by devils, and I want to kill the little devils to avenge them!" "Deputy Commander Tong, there is no distinction between north and south, no distinction between old and young, no matter who they are, they all have the responsibility of guarding the war of resistance, and they are all determined to sacrifice everything!" More than 1,500 students of the military training regiment trained in Nanyuan were all present, and everyone opened their voices and shouted as soon as they saw Tong Linge, all of them with resolute expressions and strong requests to participate in the Anti-Japanese War!
"Everyone, be quiet!" Tong Linge was so moved, many of the students in this military training regiment in front of him were young students who had just put down their books and walked out of the campus, and many of them were weak women in student uniforms! But at this time, everyone did not have the slightest fear in the face of the heavy pressure of the Japanese army, and everyone was willing to go to the national disaster generously! When it quieted down, Tong Linge shook his arms and said: "Please rest assured, our 29th Army will definitely fight with the little devils to the end, and will never give up an inch of land!" Moreover, the elite 39th Brigade and the Tank Brigade, the Artillery Wing, and the Cavalry Brigade have arrived in Huangcun, and we will soon have a bloody battle with the little devils! Let's fight together to beat the little devils, even to the last drop of blood! Your training regiment will be temporarily incorporated into the reserve team, and you will support wherever the time comes! ”
"Well, well said!" "Deputy Commander Tong, we'll wait for your words!" "To kill the little devil, you must fight to the end!" The students of the military training regiment raised their arms and shouted impassioned slogans, and the atmosphere at the scene instantly became high and hot! Airplanes! Airplanes! Airplanes! "Ah, no, the devil plane is coming!" "Spread out immediately! Fast! At this moment, there was a sharp motor sound in the distance, and everyone hurriedly looked up, only to see dozens of small black dots in the sky in the distance. In fact, there was no need to shout, everyone quickly dispersed at the first time, and quickly hid in the dense weeds nearby, as well as the corn fields not far away! "No, these devil planes should be heading for Fengtai!" "This, is this independent regiment so hated by devils? Our Nanyuan garrison has more than 20,000 people, but this little devil is willing to go far and wide to bomb Fengtai Town? And soon, Tong Linge and the others discovered that something was wrong, these bombers did not stop at all, and they did not get on and off the Nanyuan defenders' position, but flew directly to Fengtai Town in the north!
Shells of the size of devils fell from the sky like money, countless metal fragments shot everywhere, the entire position area was filled with dust and smoke, and the entire ground was trembling! Shells of the size of devils fell from the sky like money, countless metal fragments shot everywhere, the entire position area was filled with dust and smoke, and the entire ground was trembling! In order to deal with the devil's aircraft artillery, Yang Fan specially organized a large number of manpower and material resources to build three strong defensive trenches outside Fengtai City, and reinforced the anti-artillery holes with large tree trunks, sandbags, and cement to prevent the anti-artillery holes from collapsing in large-scale shelling! As soon as the devil's artillery position fired a salvo, the devil's aviation brigade from afar shouted, and one bombshell after another fell from the sky and fell rapidly towards the inside and outside of Fengtai City!
Due to the influence of the eight bombers that were shot down before, the Devil Air Brigade that bombed Fengtai this time did not bomb at a low altitude as usual, let alone the arrogant ultra-low-altitude dive bombing, but all of them remained above 2,000 meters altitude! Although this will reduce the accuracy of bomb delivery a lot, the powerful aerial bomb also brought a lot of damage and pressure to the independent regiment, and for a time the entire Fengtai Town fell into boundless artillery fire, everywhere was filled with gunsmoke, and the earth-shattering explosion covered everything! "It's over! The devil is really crazy, it's planes and artillery, where can such a large area as Fengtai Town withstand such a strong bombardment? Tong Linge picked up the telescope and took a look, and saw very clearly that Fengtai Town in the distance was completely submerged in gunsmoke, as if it had suddenly become a hell on earth!
I know very well the power of the Japanese artillery and bombers, Fengtai Town is not a big place, there is not much room for maneuver at all, if the little devil does not count the consumption of the full force of the shelling, the independent regiment is afraid that the little devil will not see it in front of the little devil will have to lose most of it! "These brutes! Brothers of the Independent Regiment, you must hold on! "Zhao Dengyu was also so angry that his teeth itched, although he did not meet Yang Fan, he admired Yang Fan for coming all the way to support the Anti-Japanese War, not only snatching Fengtai back, but also continuously hitting the little devils, which once made the little devils in the Beiping area change their color!" Yo Xi, well done! I don't believe it, under such a dense and powerful artillery saturation bombardment, the opposing Chinese army can continue to maintain combat effectiveness! The order went down, and after the shelling was over, the chariot brigade and the Anteng United attacked on all fronts, and captured Fengtai in one fell swoop and annihilated all the Chinese army! I'm going to cut off the head of this commander covered in the blood of the Imperial warriors with my own hands and kick it as a ball! ”
Standing on the dirt slope and watching the entire Fengtai position in front of him covered by artillery fire, Suzuki Shigeyasu showed a cruel sneer on his face, as if the independent regiment had been wiped out, and victory was already in the bag! "it! After the order was given, the artillery brigade and anti-aircraft artillery units immediately counterattacked, and all the artillery positions and planes of the little devils were smashed! Ah, these little devils are really willing to spend their money, fortunately I was prepared, otherwise it would have been enough to drink a pot! "Knowing that the little devils have regarded the independent regiment as a thorn in their side, but with such a big battle today, Jiang Qiang is still a little surprised: he claimed that there were only more than 1,000 combatants, but he forcibly recruited 8,000 devils to besiege a lot, and there were planes, tanks, and artillery to cover it with firepower! I have to say that this hatred value is too violent, so that the little devil who has always been arrogant is so shameless to use crushing troops to encircle and annihilate the independent regiment!
At this time, Qin Siyu ordered all the artillery to concentrate artillery fire to knock down the enemy's running positions and devils' planes. I saw those soldiers overriding the ground-to-air missiles and swishing at the enemy's planes, and the swishing shells stretched out to the sky, at this time, I saw that the devil's planes were blowing up in the air, and one by one the fire balls rose in the air, "The whole battalion pays attention, the Japanese artillery position in front, the gauge ruler is 378, the direction is 011 to the left, the high and low +3, the No. 4 charge, the grenade is instantaneous, and the whole company has 8 rounds of rapid fire, prepare, put!" As soon as Jiang Qiang gave the order, the artillery company, which had already calculated the direction and distance of the Japanese artillery position, began to output frantically, and in one breath, it was 8 rounds of rapid fire! Artillery battles usually first build artillery positions, calibrate the elements, and then need a round of test firing, the scouts report the impact point, the artillery needs to correct the trajectory, and then a round of test firing, and then need to report the impact point, and the shelling starts when it is confirmed, and the trajectory must be corrected again if it is not hit. It's a regular way of playing, but it has a drawback – it's too time-consuming. Rapid firing refers to the use of the predetermined amount of ammunition as quickly as possible without test firing, correction or pause. Therefore, rapid fire is a way to give up accuracy and pursue fast and fierce fire suppression, just like the relationship between short point fire, long point fire and continuous fire in rifle shooting, to find a balance between accuracy and firepower. In order to prevent the devil's artillery position from being transferred or evaded, the artillery company of the independent regiment chose to shoot rapidly to cover the fire, and beat the powerful artillery brigade of the dumb devil as quickly as possible!
"Attention all artillery, target devil bomber group, open fire!" In an instant, more than 20 artillery pieces in Fengtai City roared in unison, and one caliber shell after another roared towards the devil's artillery position and aircraft group! The distance of 5 kilometers is not far away, but it is not close, and ten seconds later, the howitzer with a slightly faster initial velocity fell into the devil artillery position first, and the ten shells exploded in an instant, setting off a metal storm, and countless shrapnel and violent waves turned the surrounding area into a forbidden place of death! Boom, boom, and then ten shells also fell accurately into the devil's artillery position, and huge explosions rang out one after another! The devil artillery brigade was completely unable to make any effective evasion, and 6 field guns were blown into pieces and stirred into twists at the first time when the fire was concentrated, and dozens of artillery pieces of the devil were directly blown into pieces! However, this was only the beginning, the artillery battalion of the independent regiment was unforgiving, the first round of fire had just ended, and the second round of fire followed, 20 shells blew up the devil's artillery position to the ground, and endless gunpowder smoke filled the entire position! Boom, boom, boom, the artillery positions of the devils are falling one after another with anger and hatred, and the fierce explosions are like fried beans! In just a few minutes, there were less than ten artillery pieces left in the devil's artillery position, and the frightened artillery had already hidden far away, and they did not dare to approach the artillery position to return fire!
"Nani? How so? The Chinese army had not only so much artillery, but also anti-aircraft guns to restrain the aviation group? Suzuki Shigeyasu was dumbfounded, the hideous smile on his face had not yet spread, and the whole person was directly shocked, the plot flip came too fast, and in the blink of an eye, the bomber group was shot down 8 and then retreated in a hurry, and his own artillery position was also dumbfounded! At this time, Suzuki Shigeyasu understood why Kawabe Shozo would suffer such a big loss, and he would tell himself again, it turned out that this independent group of China was really too powerful! "Look, the devil plane has been shot down, haha, great! The Independent Regiment is fighting back strongly! "Wouldn't it? The Independent Regiment is so violent? Turning things around all of a sudden, not to mention knocking away the devil's plane, and ending the devil's artillery position? "The sudden turn of the gods, directly looked at Tong Linge and Zhao Dengyu and others, although they are far away, they can see the situation clearly through the telescope, especially such a hot scene can even be distinguished with the naked eye!
Seeing that the sound of artillery and explosions had stopped for a while, Zhou Haiyan, who was hiding in an air-raid shelter, immediately stood up and said loudly to the students of the training and teaching regiment who were trembling around him: "Students, the devils have stopped shelling, let's hurry to the front line to rescue the wounded!" "Zhou Haiyan is the youngest daughter of the Fengtai traitor Zhou Fuhan, the last time Li Jinglin led a team to Zhou's house to search for the whereabouts of the Japanese captain, she stepped forward to kill her relatives and confessed to her father Zhou Fuhan's traitorous behavior and beastly behavior! Later, after many efforts, Zhou Haiyan finally got her wish and joined the medical team of the independent regiment and became a medical soldier. A few days ago, because a large number of students from Beiping came to Fengtai to ask to join the army to resist the war, Jiang Qiang specially transferred her to the training and teaching regiment as the captain of the first team, responsible for the daily training organization and management! Qin Guiying hurriedly echoed: "Yes, the soldiers in front are fighting bloody battles with devils, although we can't go to the battlefield for the time being, we can help rescue the wounded and make our soldiers sacrifice as little as possible!" "Yes, yes, what are we waiting for!" "Let's go, everyone has a part in defending the country!" "That's right, we are also soldiers of the Independent Regiment Training and Teaching Regiment! In this moment of crisis, how can you blindly hide in the rear? It's a shame to say it! ”
Driven by the words of the two, hundreds of training students around them stood up one after another, and for a while, the atmosphere quickly became hot! "Everyone, please be quiet, there are no rules, we must go out to rescue the wounded, and we must be organized and disciplined, otherwise it will be pure chaos! I suggest that each team leader and squad leader organize their own team members according to the training team structure! Our first brigade is responsible for ...... in the south of the city" I have to say that Zhou Haiyan has made rapid progress, and in just half a month, she has initially possessed the quality of a grassroots commander, and she is very responsible for organizing at this time! Soon, a group of male and female students in training uniforms walked out of the air-raid shelter one after another, and rushed to the various defensive positions in Fengtai Town in an orderly manner! "Report to the Chief of Staff, the students of the training regiment walked out of the bomb shelter without authorization and are going to various positions to search and rescue the wounded, please instruct!"
Naturally, the movements of the training and teaching regiment could not be concealed from the intelligence network of the independent regiment all over Fengtai, and the relevant information was sent to Jiang Qiang as soon as possible! "How can you see the rainbow without experiencing wind and rain, since they have a lot of blood, let them go, and it will really start fighting in a while, let them pay more attention to safety and withdraw in time!" Towering trees can't be cultivated in the greenhouse, and these students who have just stepped out of the campus still have a long way to go before they can become real Predators, and Jiang Qiang naturally won't treat them as a group of children and strictly protect them!
"Report to Your Excellency General, our artillery brigade has been devastated, and now there are only 3 medium mortars and 5 howitzers intact!" After the 8th consecutive rapid fire of the Independent Regiment, the devil's artillery position became a hell on earth, and countless deep pits were blown out of a huge area, and metal fragments and stumps and broken arms could be scattered everywhere! "Eight Grid Tooth Road, order the Chariot Brigade and the Anteng United to attack on all fronts! Order the artillery units, ready for fire support to knock out the surviving artillery of the Shina army! "The previous bombardment and bombardment were just a prelude to the war, and although Suzuki Shigeyasu suffered a loss, it was impossible to stop and withdraw his troops, so he gave the order to attack without thinking about it! Because, in Suzuki Shigeyasu's opinion, even if the other party still has some artillery, it is not enough to see it under the crushing of powerful forces, not to mention that he still has 8 artillery pieces that can be fired later!
"Assault, Tao Ci Change, Tao Ci Change...... "The Chariot Brigade and the Anteng Wing who received the combat order directly sent 20 tanks and 6 squadrons of 1,200 devil infantry to fight together. 20 tanks creaked and ran all the way through the cornfield, and soon appeared in front of the outer position of the south gate of the Independent Regiment, and the little devils of the six squadrons followed closely and quickly approached forward!" Haha, brothers hurry up and get to work! "Good boy, the little devil has come so many Iron Kings this time, our iron fist and anti-aircraft machine gun are finally useful, haha!" "The whole battalion is ready to fight, today Lao Tzu must kill hard!" Garrisoned on the southern perimeter defense line were 300 soldiers of the 1st Battalion of the Independent Regiment, who came out of the anti-artillery hole early after the devil's shelling and bombardment, and when the devil's tank unit rushed out of the cornfield, they were ready for battle! According to the military merit regulations of the independent regiment, you can get second-class merit for shooting down a plane of devils, and you can get third-class merit for destroying a tank of devils, so in the eyes of everyone, the devil tank is completely a walking military merit medal!
At this time, although the 20 tanks lined up in a row were very oppressive and imposing, the soldiers of the independent regiment did not have the slightest fear, but were full of joy and excitement! Knowing that the Pingjin area will usher in the heavy encirclement and suppression of devils, and the independent regiment will be taken care of, so Yang Fan will never be able to only guard a large area like the palm last time, if so, there will be no room for maneuver at all! Therefore, Jiang Qiang built three strong trenches within 1 kilometer of the periphery of Fengtai Town early, preparing to continuously consume the devil's vital strength through layers of defense, and accumulate small victories into big victories!
Squeak and quack, the devil tank quickly advanced into the field more than 100 meters of the first trench, and then the devil tank calibrated the barrel while marching, ready to launch an artillery bombardment on the forward positions of the independent regiment! At the same time, the devil artillery who followed behind had already stopped, quickly establishing mortar and grenadier positions, while the other infantry followed the tanks and kept pushing forward, and pulled the trigger one after another to shoot at the fighters of the independent regiment! The Japanese infantry brigade has an infantry artillery squad of 55 people, including a 10-person squad headquarters, a 15-person ammunition detachment, and two 15-person artillery detachments each equipped with a 70-mm 92 infantry gun! In addition, each Japanese squad has a grenadier group, and these are the devil's long-range support fire points! The artillery brigade that was knocked out by the independent regiment before was a field artillery unit directly under the brigade, and the caliber and range of the artillery are not comparable to these small-caliber artillery!
Boom! The devil tank began to shell the positions of the independent regiment, setting off one soil flower after another, and the battlefield was once again full of gunsmoke. However, the fighters of the Independent Regiment did not emerge at this time, so although the devil tank began to threaten, it did not cause any casualties! "Brothers, call me! Kill! When the devil tank and infantry advanced to within 50 meters, and the devil tank and infantry had clearly appeared on the retina, Yang Chengliang didn't wait any longer, and immediately roared, pulled the Bobosha assault rifle, and fired wildly!
Da-da-da-da! Bang bang bang! For a while, anti-aircraft machine guns, heavy machine guns, Bobosha assault rifles, assault rifles and sniper rifles spewed out tongues of fire one after another, and waves of metal storms poured down on the devils like rain! Jingle, I saw the Devil Type 95 tank rushing to the front flickering, and in an instant, it was hit with countless craters of different shades! In view of the lesson of the last time the Type 94 Douding tank was directly penetrated by an anti-aircraft machine gun, this time the tank brigade of the 11th Brigade was completely mixed into a Type 95 tank!
