On May 6, the 30th year of the Republic of China (1941), the siege of Zhuyuan was nearing its end, and the remaining 2,000 Japanese troops were concentrated in the buildings in the center of Liaoyuan City to resist desperately. There, the Japanese took the city hall building as the center, demolished all the buildings within 400 meters around it, leaving only a dozen or so strong buildings, all of which were reinforced and modified into pillboxes.

Zhao Quanyou took more than 100 brothers to attack twice, but were driven down by the Japanese machine guns, and the position was not captured, but more than 20 soldiers were killed, so angry that Zhao Quanyou scolded his mother. "Fuck, what are you doing with the bazooka, blowing up the house for a dog day!" With more than 100 brothers hiding behind a building that had been blown down, Zhao Quanyou anxiously scolded the soldiers with bazookas.

, "Yingzuo, we have tried it just now, our bazooka has a range of only more than a hundred meters, and it can't reach them at all, and the little devil's building must have been reinforced with steel and cement." Just now, three brothers rushed desperately to a distance of 100 meters to make a shot, but not even their skin was broken, and the little devil must have reinforced these bunkers with steel plates and ashes. We don't have tanks to help attack the city now, and my brother is struggling to fight. ，。 The soldier with the bazooka was also aggrieved. It's not that I don't work hard, but I can't help it.

"Grass, this battle can't be fought!" Zhao Quanyou took off his helmet and fell to the ground, scolding and scolding. "Barracks, let's bring up the infantry artillery?。。 One of his company commanders suggested. "Yes, the battalion, let's bring up the infantry artillery and bomb it... The surrounding soldiers chimed in.

Zhao Quanyou thought about it and shook his head and said, "No, you see." All the buildings within 400 meters around here have been cleared, and "the artillery can only fire from 400 meters away." But as you said just now, the bazookas can't even be gnawed, and I think it's enough to choke with infantry artillery. Unless we bring in the heavy artillery and shoot them at a direct point... "Heavy artillery? ，。

As soon as the soldiers heard that they had to use heavy artillery to bombard these turtle shells, they were all deflated, not to mention that there had been an order from above not to use heavy artillery to attack the city, so they said that none of those heavy artillery weighed more than ten or twenty tons. You have to rely on a big truck to pull it, and if you have to move around and use a big truck to pull the car in, are the little devils blind? As soon as he saw the truck coming in, he blasted it off with a mortar.

"Then we can let the heavy artillery fire from a distance. Before a soldier could finish speaking, he felt that he was whimsical. Shooting from a distance? If it misses, it will fall into the house, and the civilian casualties will be too great. , "Damn, if you want Little Japan to attack the city, you will be waiting for your mother with poison gas bombs." A soldier behind him said smugly. "What did you say?" ”。 Zhao Quanyi's whole body was stunned when he heard this, his eyes widened, and he grabbed the soldier's collar and glared at him and asked, "Say it again!" ”。

Seeing Zhao Quan's terrifying appearance, the soldier was startled and stammered, "I just said nonsense, poison gas bombs or something, don't take it seriously!" ”。 Zhao Quanyou put down the soldier's collar and slapped his thigh and laughed in surprise: "Hahaha, that's right." I didn't think of that. , gas bombs,".

Zhao Quanyou's words frightened the company commander and soldiers behind him, and he pounced on Zhao Quanyou's clothes and shouted incoherently: "Camp, don't be confused, this is not Vladivostok, you can't use this thing!" There are hundreds of thousands of people living in this city. If you use this thing, the chiefs won't be enough to drag us to shoot us a hundred times。。

, "Go and go". Zhao Quanyou slapped off their hands and scolded: "You stupid people, when did Lao Tzu say that he was going to release poison gas, Lao Tzu hasn't lived enough, and besides, Lao Tzu is like the kind of person who has lost his conscience?。。 "Look at the way you just looked, that's not an elephant. Rather, it is definitely gone. The soldiers on the side secretly cursed in their hearts.

Zhao Quanyou ignored the strange look on the faces of the soldiers, and ordered directly, "Company commander, you quickly take a platoon of brothers to the nearby people's houses to collect chili powder for Lao Tzu", the spicier the better, collect as much as you want, remember that the more the better, Lao Tzu wants to invite the little devils to eat a chili powder meal." "Camp. Can you do it?。。 The soldiers looked at Zhao Quanyou hesitantly, thinking that they had never heard of fighting with chili powder, was the camp in a hurry?

"Go!" Zhao Quanyou glared at them vigorously. If you can't find the chili powder, I won't be able to spare you. Just go!. "Yes!". The company commander was yelled at by Zhao Quanyou, and was so frightened that he immediately ran away with dozens of soldiers and crawled .......

Basically every household in the countryside has some chili peppers, and in less than half a day, the soldiers collected dozens of catties of chili powder and came back to their lives. Zhao Quanyou ordered someone to bring all the shells. He demonstrated it himself, only to see him carefully disassemble the warhead, pour out half of the gunpowder in the warhead, and then fill it with chili powder, so that a new type of chili bomb was freshly baked. Putting down the cannonball, Zhao Quanyou looked at the soldiers around him and said, "If you see it, just do it like me and put the remaining chili powder into the cannonball." Do you guys get it?。。

"Understood! The soldiers agreed with a bang, and they installed this new type of "pepper bomb" one after another...... In these dozen or so buildings guarded by the Japanese army, there are still hundreds of Japanese, reclamation regiments, and overseas Chinese. They followed the Japanese army into these specially fortified strongholds, helping the Japanese to transport ammunition and carry the wounded. Delivering food and so on, doing what they can.

Most of the oriental nations have a present nature, that is, they attach great importance to the land, whether it is the Chinese or the Japanese, they attach great importance to the land, and they can even give up their lives for it. In the northeast, the "Township Reclamation Regiment" was made up of poor peasants in Japan who had lost their land, and after coming to China, they seized it with the help of the Japanese government. Each family was given a large amount of land. All of a sudden, they lived the life of a landlord that they had never dreamed of in the country, and the Chahar army was the first to take back the land and houses they had looted. Therefore, if we talk about the degree of hatred for the Chahar army, I am afraid that even the Japanese army is not comparable to them, and they are extremely hard working in the process of assisting the Japanese army to defend the city, often a family of all ages goes into battle. Kentaro Ikeda is a member of the Japanese Reclamation Group, he is 22 years old this year, he was originally a poor family in Japan without a father and mother, since last year he responded to the Japanese government's call to come to Liaoyuan alone, the Japanese government gave him dozens of acres of land and a house, let him live the life of a small landlord. It's a day he'd never dreamed of before.

But since the Chahar army hit Liaoyuan a few days ago, everything has changed, and tens of thousands of people in the city, regardless of men, women, and children, have been captured by the Chinese, and all their property has been confiscated.

Therefore, in the past few days, Kentaro Ikeda has been very desperate in helping the Japanese soldiers defend the city, whether it is transporting ammunition or rushing the wounded, he is very active. His efforts won praise from the Japanese soldiers, and this morning a Japanese squad leader even gave him a rifle "for him to defend with the troops."

Seeing the Chinese soldiers retreating in disarray under the blows of their own troops, Kentaro Ikeda felt a joy in his heart, and now he only hoped that he could drive these soldiers out of Liaoyuan, "so that their houses and land would not have to be taken away by them." Looking at the silent scene outside, Kentaro Ikeda asked a Japanese non-commissioned officer next to him, "Nomura Juncao." Now those people are not attacking, "Have they all been beaten away by us?" If only then we can hold out until reinforcements arrive. ”

Nomura Juncao, who was as strong as an ox, glanced at him and said, "Ikeda-kun, what are you anxious about, I'm afraid those people are still having a headache now, how can they attack?。。 "They still dare to attack?。。 Kentaro Ikeda couldn't believe it, "They lost dozens of people in the attack just now, aren't they afraid of death?。。 "Who can say for sure?" , Nomura Juncao did not answer this question directly, "just lightly comforting this naïve farmer."

In fact, when the battle came to this, the soldiers with a little bit of experience understood that those Chinese people would definitely not let go of their remnants of the defeated generals, and more than 30,000 people on their side were almost annihilated. Could it be that those Chinese people will still spare their remnants of the thousands of people? Only Kentaro Ikeda, who doesn't understand anything, would ask such an idiotic topic.

At this time, a soldier in charge of observation suddenly shouted, "Everyone, be careful, the people of China are about to start firing... The voice just fell" "boom". The sound of shells exploding sounded in front of and behind the pillbox, and puffs of dark red smoke suddenly drifted in through the gaps and shooting holes.

After a while, the bunker was shrouded in a thick layer of crimson smoke, and suddenly, a violent coughing sound sounded everywhere in the bunker, "cough, cough, cough....... Kentaro Ikeda had just inhaled a mouthful of crimson gas, only to feel a sudden burst of heat in his lungs, and he couldn't help but cough violently. "It's not good, the people of China have vented poison gas." Everyone, find gas masks and water! Ahem. A voice shouted. It's a pity that this reminder was too late, and in these short tens of seconds, everyone in the bunker lost their combat effectiveness because of a violent cough.

Seeing that the buildings in front of him were shrouded in a cloud of crimson smoke, Zhao Quanyou, who had already put on a gas mask, waved his hand at the brothers behind him and rushed forward. This charge was very smooth, now all the Japanese were choked by the sudden chili pepper bombs and couldn't walk, and after the chili powder was mixed with gunpowder, it not only emitted a choking smell, but the fog it rose in the sky also choked people's eyes to temporarily lose sight, which can be regarded as the effect of smoke and cannonballs, therefore, Zhao Quanyou and they were almost not hindered and quickly rushed to the building complex where the Japanese army was stationed.

A dull voice came from the mist rush, "Grenade!" "Boom!" With a loud bang, the door of a Japanese building was blown open, and Zhao Quanyou just rushed in with dozens of soldiers when he saw a figure rushing out inside. "Da da da da......" Zhao Quanyou's hand swept over like a conditioned reflex, a man wearing clogs and wearing a wide traditional Japanese costume fell to the ground, this man was Ikeda Kentaro, after staying for a few minutes, he couldn't stand the choking smell of chili pepper bombs anymore, so he ran out of the sturdy bunker with a roll, but he didn't expect to be 'named' by Zhao Quanyou as soon as he came out.

Zhao Quanyou pointed the muzzle of the gun down, kicked Kentaro Ikeda under his feet, and saw the eyes of the people on the ground wide open and their pupils dilated. There were seven or eight more bullet holes on his body, obviously too dead to die anymore, so he waved his gun and shouted in a low voice, "Quick! Search each building as a squad to get rid of all the little devils. ”

Zhao Quanyou quickly rushed to the bottom of a building with a squad, looked at the building and still couldn't see clearly, turned his head and made a hidden gesture to the soldiers behind, and then pulled out a bayonet from his belt and put it on the barrel of Suomi's gun. (As a side note, assault rifles during World War II were rarely equipped with bayonets, with the exception of Sumi.) Only then did he take out a drum with seventy-one bullets from his waist that was full of bullets, and replaced the drum that had been beaten for most of the previous time.

In the back, the sound of "click, click...", was heard endlessly, and it was clear that the soldiers behind were also ready. Zhao Quanyou first took out a grenade, pulled the lead and threw it into the building below, "Boom! There was a loud bang, accompanied by a dozen broken bricks and two screams. Without anyone reacting, Zhao Quanyou rushed in, through the lenses on the gas mask, Zhao Quanyou found that there were still two Japanese soldiers lying on the ground, ignoring the people on the ground, Zhao Quanyou rushed towards the second floor, and the assault rifle in his hand kept ringing along the way.

When Zhao Quanyou's Somi bullet was finished, he immediately retreated, and the squad leader who had been waiting for a long time immediately took over, and for a while, Suomi's gunshots were endless....

The overall situation of the joint division headquarters of the 5th and 41st Divisions of Liaoyuan has been decided, and Chang Jingwu and Zhang Tingshu have lost the tension and busyness of the previous few days, and the two of them are sitting on chairs and drinking tea at the moment. Zhang Tingshu's family is wealthy, and he also has a lot of research on the tea ceremony. Born in poverty, he didn't have much hobby in the tea ceremony, but after following General Tang Juwu, a person who loves tea ceremony, for a long time, he also learned a little vassal elegance under the influence of his ears and eyes. Well, in the words of General Tang Juwu, that is, people who can drink tea are cultural people.

Zhang Tingshu gently put down the teacup and said to Chang Jingwu in an admiring tone: "Master Chang, I didn't expect you to have such a good product hidden here, this top-notch red robe is worth a thousand gold!" I'm a blessed day, where did you get it? Chang Jingwu grinned, "Zhang Tingshu, don't laugh at me, to say something invisible, no matter what tea comes to my mouth, it is a taste, I use it to quench my thirst when I am thirsty on weekdays, and I don't drink much now, that's all." ”

The corners of Zhang Tingshu's mouth twitched unnaturally, well, this Master Chang is really very powerful, and he uses this kind of red robe with its scarce output as boiled water to quench his thirst, which makes people have to take it. However, although Zhang Tingshu had some cramps on his face, he was also very curious, and couldn't help asking: "Oh! So where did Master Chang buy these teas? Can you help me buy a few taels? ”

"Ugh! I didn't buy it. Chang Jingwu shook his head, "This is still the year before last when I followed General Tang Juwu to fight with Zi in Siberia, and after capturing Chita City that time, I searched out of the house of a mayor of Zi, and I don't know if Zi really knows how to drink tea or is vassally elegant." At that time, General Tang Juwu divided a few taels with me, but I drank it all during this time. ”

After finishing speaking, Chang Jingwu said slightly proudly: "If I hadn't been the head of the guard regiment at that time, General Tang Juwu would not have given it to me." In his words, he was very proud of being the head of the guard of General Tang Juwu

When Chang Jingwu said this, Zhang Tingshu asked curiously: "Master Chang, you have also been dealing with Zi in Siberia for more than a year, I don't know how the combat effectiveness of Zi and the little devil compares?" I've heard that you're fighting in Siberia, but are you really so bad at fighting? ”

Chang Jingwu, who was originally drinking tea leisurely, looked stunned when he heard this, put down the teacup in his hand, turned his head to stare at Zhang Tingshu, and said solemnly: "Brother Zhang, if you are transferred to Siberia in the future, if you have this mentality and fight against your son, you will suffer a big loss!" "Oh?" Zhang Tingshu's expression also became solemn, and he stretched out his hand to refill the tea for Chang Jingwu and brought it to Chang Jingwu and said sincerely: "Please brother, don't hesitate to teach, I, Zhang Tingshu, would like to hear the details!" ”

Zhang Tingshu knew that there were very few opportunities for generals like Chang Jingwu who had fought against a world-recognized military power like Soviet Russia to pass on his experience to others, and maybe a little experience today could kill you in the future, so he served tea to Wang Dayong so solemnly. Chang Jingwu was not polite, took the teacup and took a sip before speaking: "Brother Zhang, what do you think of the combat effectiveness of the Japanese?" ”

Zhang Tingshu thought for a while and said: "The Japanese are brave in battle, and the individual quality of the soldiers is also very high, especially they have been poisoned by the tea poison of the Japanese bushido spirit, and they are very difficult opponents who are not afraid of death when fighting." However, their individual weapons are inferior to ours, like this Tongliao Campaign, because they completely lost their air supremacy and were defeated by us. ”

"Yes!" Chang Jingwu nodded, "You are right, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese is indeed good, especially their individual soldier quality is very strong in Asia, this is not wrong." However, if the overall combat effectiveness is far from the same as that of the subordinate, I dare to say that if the 500,000 Japanese troops in Tongliao were replaced by the sub, we would never have been so easy, and maybe we would have to suffer some losses. "Oh, is it really that bad?" Zhang Tingshu couldn't help frowning.

"It's nature!" Chang Jingwu said seriously: "Don't look at the fact that we captured five or six hundred thousand men and horses before, and think that Zi is nothing great, in fact, it was at the beginning that we were caught off guard, and Zi is still looking at us with the old Yellow Calendar of the Northeast Army or the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and we also took advantage of Zi's contempt for our hearts, plus at the beginning, our fighters always held air supremacy, so we took the opportunity to win a few battles." But when the son reacted, he adjusted his mentality and tactics in time, and you can see that now nearly 400,000 elites of our Heilongjiang Military Region led by Chief of Staff Jiang Baili are trapped in Siberia and cannot be transferred to reinforce the Northeast Battlefield? ”

After listening to Chang Jingwu's narration, Liao Yaoxiang couldn't help but ask curiously, "What is the main difference between that son and the Japanese?" Chang Jingwu sighed, "National strength, their comprehensive national strength!" Let's put it this way, if the 500,000 Japanese troops in Tongliao had been replaced by a Japanese soldier a few days ago, they would have mobilized at least three to four thousand heavy artillery pieces to bombard our positions for an hour before attacking. , and at least one to two thousand tanks went on the offensive. Think about what it would be like to be bombarded by thousands of heavy artillery and then attacked by thousands of tanks? ”

Zhang Tingshu couldn't help but gasp when he heard this, and he couldn't help but think of the scene of the position bombarded by thousands of heavy artillery and thousands of tanks attacking at the same time, and a cold sweat broke out in his palms, and he said in a trembling voice: "Is Zi really so terrible? ”

Chang Jingwu nodded solemnly and said an inappropriate cold joke: "There is no most terrible, only more terrible!" Last time we almost got covered with a blanket, and on the surface we were silent, but in fact we secretly dropped an armored assault group to the flank of our defensive line and prepared to launch a surprise attack. If it weren't for one of our armored patrols that happened to discover them, maybe they would have been overshadowed by the north, and if the hundreds of thousands of troops of our Siberian group had collapsed, what would have happened..."Speaking of this, Chang Jingwu couldn't help but shudder, and didn't dare to imagine it anymore.

Zhang Tingshu smiled bitterly, "Hearing you say this, you really have to be more careful when dealing with those Western world military powers in the future." Just as the two were engaged in talking, an officer came to report, "Report to the two chiefs, we have brought down the city government building where the devils are entrenched, and the little devils in Liaoyuan City are finished!" "Good!" Chang Jingwu slapped the table happily, "Which army attacked first?" ”

"Report to the chief, it was Zhao Quanyou of the forward battalion under your command who attacked first!" "And they did it with pepper bombs," the officer reported. "Chili bombs?" Chang Jingwu and Zhang Tingshu glanced at each other and asked curiously, "Can you tell us what's going on?" "So the officer reported to the two commanders that Zhao Quanyou had loaded the cannonball with chili powder and attacked it." Hahaha! Chang Jingwu praised with satisfaction: "This Zhao Quan really has a ghost idea to fight, and he immediately sent a report to General Huang Jianfeng and Commander Wang Yizhe, saying that Liaoyuan City is already in our hands......."
