After the traditional Dragon Boat Festival in China passed, the raging snowstorm finally stopped, and the sky, which had been silent for most of the month, began to be lively again, and the troops on the ground could see the fighters of China and Japan in the sky and began to chase and fight. The fighters on both sides, which had been resting for more than half a month, were chasing and whistling in the sky, and the troops on the ground were not idle, and the sound of guns and artillery resounded throughout Jinzhou City.

The day before yesterday, Wang Yizhe formed the 42 nd Group Army with five newly formed infantry divisions and one artillery division and sent them to Jinzhou. He also formally appointed Lieutenant General Huang Jianfeng, former chief of staff of the 41 st Group Army, as commander of the 42 nd Group Army.

Speaking of the number of the 42nd Group Army, when Wang Yizhe first reported it, the chairman of the committee originally did not plan to give it, and in the face of Wang Yizhe's increasingly aggressive situation, how could the chairman be willing to increase the number of the opponent. But later, Yang Yongtai, then secretary general of the Nanjing government, offered advice to the chairman of the committee: "Even if we don't give them a number, their troops will not be reduced by half a point, but Wang Yizhe has always had a good face and he is different from General Tang Juwu, Wang Yizhe still respects the Nanjing government very much, and does not want to let himself bear the impression of supporting the army and expanding the army privately in front of the people, so he sent a telegram to the Nanjing government. Wouldn't it be even worse if he was so angry that he never paid attention to the orders of the Nanking government in the future? The chairman of the committee said with a calm face: "Then what do you say?" Yang Yongtai said with a smile: "In fact, the number given by the Nanjing government is only a superficial thing for those warlords who support their own troops, and we should give them the number instead of hiding it, but we can't give it in vain." Isn't Heilongjiang so rich now, let's tell him clearly, you can get the number you want, but you have to exchange it for the equipment, and we can give the number they requested, but Heilongjiang wants to exchange the equipment of an infantry division. ”

The chairman hesitated for a moment and said: "This is not very good, if people know that the dignified Nanjing government is going to change the number for equipment, where will the Nanjing government's face go?" Yang Yongtai was anxious, and hurriedly said: "Chairman, how much is face worth?" Now our troops are running out of equipment everywhere. We can exchange a false name for a division's equipment, and we make a lot of money in this business. ”

The chairman hesitated for a while, then stomped his foot, "Okay, for the sake of the great cause of the Anti-Japanese War, I will be shameless today." At this time, there were also voices of opposition within the army and government in Heilongjiang, and some people thought that with the current strength of the Heilongjiang government being enough to compete with the government of the state, it could completely stand on its own, so why should it give the equipment of a division to a future opponent in vain for the sake of an empty title?

However, after Wang Yizhe discussed with Jiang Baili and others, he believed that since the provinces of Heilongjiang still nominally held the title of the Ninth War Zone, "then we should give the Nationalist Government a little face, and we should not let the Nationalist Government lose face."

And now we are fighting with the Kwantung Army, the reason why the North China Dispatch Army and the Central China Dispatch Army behind us did not come over to intervene in the war in the three eastern provinces is because there is still the Nanjing Army in front of us, if the Nanjing Government Army collapses, our trouble will be a big deal, and then the Japanese will be able to use all their strength to deal with Heilongjiang, and we will not be as easy to deal with as it is now.

In this way, in the military and political department of the Nanjing government, there was another group army number. After the number was in hand, Wang Yizhe was also very trustworthy, and the equipment of an infantry division was quickly handed over to the hands of the Nationalist Government Army, and both sides were happy to get what they wanted.

After the 42nd Army arrived at the city of Jinzhou, "the supreme commander of Jinzhou, Ryosuke Isoya, immediately felt the pressure greatly increased. In less than two days, the 41st and 42nd Group Armies launched continuous and uninterrupted attacks, and with the cooperation of aircraft and heavy artillery, they captured two lines of defense in two days, and now only the last line of defense was left on the periphery of Jinzhou City.

If this line of defense is also breached, then Jinzhou will become an isolated city, and then the fall of Jinzhou will only be a matter of time. As a result, Ryosuke Isoya's telegrams to Mukden asking for more troops flew one after another like snowflakes.

In the city defense headquarters in Jinzhou, "Isoya Ryosuke held the telegram just sent back by the Kwantung Army Headquarters in his hand, and his heart was as cold as the weather outside the house, and the call back clearly told Isoya Ryosuke that there were no reinforcements in the near future, and all difficulties could only be overcome by himself.

Looking at the telegram with the joint signature of Umezu Mijiro and Ishihara Kanjiro, Ryosuke Isoya was dumbfounded, overcoming difficulties and creating another miracle? They think that the miracle is the cabbage on the street, so that it is readily available, if the strange signs of the cabbage can appear at any time, it is not a miracle. "Commander Umezu and Chief of Staff Ishihara, do you really want to abandon Jinzhou?" , Ryosuke Isoya smiled silently bitterly in his heart.

After the last failed attempt at Vladivostok and the loss of troops, General Isoya asked the headquarters to send him to the division to be the commander of the division, but Umezu Mijiro refused. Soon he was appointed as the defensive commander of Jinzhou, commanding five divisions to defend Jinzhou, the gateway to Mukden, "Who knew that this time he was still defeated and retreated by the Seventh War Zone, which made Isoya Ryosuke feel a sense of powerlessness in his heart. Around Ryosuke Isoya, more than a dozen staff officers surrounded him, waiting for him to give orders.

"Lord Isoya!" When an operational staff officer saw Ryosuke Isoya's expressionless face holding a telegram, he couldn't help but feel a wave of resentment in his heart, and complained: "What are Commander Umezu and Chief of Staff Ishihara going to do?" Is it just a matter of letting Jinzhou go? You must know that if Jinzhou loses Fengtian, it will be difficult to protect! Ryosuke Isoya shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You can't say it, this friend said, "Jinzhou is Jinzhou, no matter how important he is, he can't be compared with Fengtian, if I were the commander of Umezu, I wouldn't have pressed all my troops to Jinzhou." "But at least we should send a few more divisions or replenish the troops we have lost in recent times, you must know that two of our five defensive divisions have already suffered more than half of the casualties, do they really just treat us as outcasts?" The staff officer asked with some sadness.

"Crackle!" , Two crisp slaps sounded, and Ryosuke Isoya turned around and gave the staff officer two slaps. "Yaga, Kawakawa Dazuo, you are not a real soldier." Ryosuke Isoya glared at the staff officer angrily: "What do you mean by an outcast?" When we put on this military uniform, we have already given our lives to the Emperor, and we are ready to sacrifice at any time for the great cause of His Majesty the Emperor, and now is the time to test us, how can you walk such pessimistic remarks? You drop real military men yet! ”

"Hey! Thank you for reminding me that I must always keep my humble duties in mind! Kawakawa Osa hurriedly bowed his head and bowed ninety degrees to Ryosuke Isoya. Kindness. Ryosuke Isoya seemed to feel a lot more relaxed after venting, and after his mood became better, he also cheered up and comforted these subordinates, "You don't have to worry, Jinzhou City has been built into a strong fortress by us, and with the hundreds of thousands of people in Jinzhou City as hostages, they will never dare to use heavy artillery when attacking the city." We have no problem holding out in Jinzhou for three months, and when our recruits are trained after three months, the reinforcements will climb to Jinzhou. ”

"Hay, Your Excellency is wise!" The staff officers bowed collectively.

Ryosuke Isoya thought for a moment and then said: "But now there is an urgent problem in front of us, that is, our passage to the outside world may be cut off by the Shina people at any time, so we must store weapons and ammunition in Jinzhou that can support us for three months before the passage is cut off, otherwise it will be an empty word to stick to Jinzhou." Saying this, Isoya Ryosuke's eyes shifted to Kawakawa Daisa's face and looked at it for a long time, and after seeing that Kawakawa Daisa's heart was furious, he said slowly: "Kawakawa Daisa, I will leave the matter of ensuring that the transportation channel between Jinzhou and Fengtian is unblocked, I hope you will not live up to my expectations of you." "Hello! Kagawa Osa knew that this was an opportunity for Ryosuke Isoya to make meritorious atonements for himself, so he gave himself such a relatively simple and easy opportunity to make meritorious contributions, so he was still grateful to Ryosuke Isoya for his arrangement.

"Well, you should go to the heavy army to report! Remember, although I have been prepared for the cutting off of the transportation line by the Chinese people, this transportation line must not be interrupted until enough supplies are rushed, do you understand? ", looked at the river Osaisoya Ryosuke shouted.

"Haiyi, I will definitely get enough supplies for our troops." After bowing deeply, he immediately turned around and went out ......, when the weather cleared, the transportation route from Jinzhou to Mukden was also unblocked, and the thick snow on the road had been cleared by the Japanese forcibly recruited by the people, and from time to time there were long convoys and mules and horses going back and forth on this road.

It is not an exaggeration to call this road now the lifeline of Jinzhou, and the snowstorm for more than half a month has made the supplies of the Japanese troops stationed in Jinzhou a little nervous, and now as soon as the weather is clear, they immediately began to rush supplies from Mukden.

At this time, near this road, there was an ambush of a group of men and horses dressed in snow-colored camouflage uniforms, and the snow-white capes on their bodies blended harmoniously with the surrounding scenery, and it was impossible to detect their traces without walking into their side.

They are the Dragon's Tooth Brigade that has just been ordered to rush back from Siberia, and the one who is observing the enemy situation is the captain Liu Weiming.

Taking his eyes off the binoculars, Liu Weiming turned his head to the blue dragon beside him and said, "You immediately send a signal to the others, so that they can immediately move closer to us, and our business will open today."

A convoy of dozens of cars drove on the highway, and there was an ironclad car at each end of the convoy, and there was also a squad of infantry escort at each end, and theoretically a team of more than 200 people was enough to deal with the general harassment, not to mention the anti-Japanese armed forces and beards active in the three eastern provinces, so the squadron leader in charge of escorting the car, Sannomiya Rishi, sat in the ironclad car at the back and closed his eyes and recuperated, looking very relieved. It's not the first time that Sannomiya has escorted a car, and the long-term peace and quiet has made him lose the vigilance that a soldier should have.

But Sannomiya Risu soon realized that he was wrong, and just as he was sitting in the car and falling asleep, a dull explosion came from the front and reached Sannomiya Rizu's ears.

There is no doubt that the sound of a gun is an order for a soldier of any country. Almost at the same time as the explosion sounded, the convoy stopped, and the shots of the Type 38 rifle and the 11-year-old light machine gun (crooked handle) mounted on the roof of the truck rang out almost simultaneously. For a moment, the sound of fierce gunfire and explosions suddenly rang out.

After a while, the door of the ironclad car was also opened, and a bright light shone into the dim ironclad car. The squad leader in charge of the postponement panted and reported: "Report to Your Excellency Shaozo, we have been ambushed by the Chahar army, the vanguard in front has exchanged fire with the Chinese army, the ironclad vehicles in front of the convoy have been destroyed, and the number of enemy troops is unknown at present. ”

"Yes!" Sannomiya Rishi frowned, "How did you conclude that it was Chahar's army in such a short period of time?" The squad leader's expression was a little nervous when he said this, "Your Excellency Shaozuo, this attack is very sudden, and the opponent actually has recoilless guns, which are individual anti-armor individual heavy weapons, and the opponent's firepower is extremely fierce, all fully automatic weapons and Chahar's standard MG42 general-purpose machine gun, the squad in front has almost no power to fight back!" Therefore, I can conclude that it is Wang Yizhe's troops, and they are also the elite troops among them. ”

After listening to the squad leader's reasonable analysis, Sannomiya Lixi's heart became even heavier, to be honest, he hoped that the judgment of the squad leader in front of him was wrong, but the unique and familiar sound of tearing oilcloth-like gunfire from outside clearly told him that the army that could afford this kind of particularly wasted bullet-like machine gun was only Chahar's army in the whole of China. After all, the consumption of 1,000 rounds per minute is not something that anyone can afford.

Thinking of the horror of the MG42 machine gun, Sannomiya Satoshi Shaozo complained in his heart, and now the days of dealing with Wang Yizhe's army are not short, and the Japanese soldiers have given many nicknames to Wang Yizhe's standard machine gun MG42. There are broom machine guns, there are devil machine guns, and so on, but their meaning is the same without exception, that is, very few Japanese soldiers hit by this kind of machine gun survived, and under the blow of this stormy metal storm, Japan's Type 92 heavy machine gun and 11-year machine gun were not its opponents at all.

It was suggested that the Japanese should be modeled after the captured MG42 machine gun, but this proposal was quickly shelved. The reason is very simple, that is, after the study of Japanese weapons experts and the staff officers of the military department, it was found that they could afford to imitate this kind of machine gun, but they could not afford to use it, and after the research of the weapons experts of the Japanese military department, it was found that if the Japanese troops were equipped with this kind of machine gun, it would not take a year to consume all the metal resources in Japan's reserves, and the bullets consumed by this machine gun were too terrifying.

After testing the MG42 captured on the battlefield, the Japanese found that the rate of fire of this machine gun was five to six times that of the Type 92 heavy machine gun and three times that of the Type 11 light machine gun. If the Japanese army were all equipped with this machine gun, the Japanese army would be in danger of bankruptcy in less than a year. This frustrated all the Japanese officers, so until now Japan has to endure the ravages of this terrorist machine gun.

Seeing that the squad leader was still waiting for his order, the third palace Rishi Shaozo saw that the squad leader was still waiting for his order, and after a long silence, he ordered: "You immediately send half of the people to reinforce the first squad in the vanguard, and be sure to stop the attack of those Shina people." As long as we can hold them back for two to three hours, our reinforcements will arrive. ”

"Hello!" The squad leader bowed his head and immediately commanded the troops. After seeing the squad leader leaving, the third palace Li Sui immediately got into the ironclad car and turned on the radio, "Moxi Moxi, I am the third palace Li Shaozuo of the baggage brigade, our transport team was ambushed by the Chinese army sixty kilometers east of Jinzhou, the enemy has individual heavy weapons and extremely fierce firepower, the situation is urgent, request urgent tactical guidance, request urgent tactical guidance!" ”

Just as the Sangong Lisu urgently called for support, Liu Mingwei was leading more than 60 special combat personnel to the front to rush forward. Liu Weiming's assault went exceptionally well, because the Japanese machine-gun fire and grenadiers were either suppressed by their own MG42s or the snipers who were hidden were named one by one. After losing the machine-gun fire support of the ironclad car, the resistance of the Japanese army seemed so pale and weak, and the strength of a squad was quickly exhausted, and Liu Weiming immediately led the team to attack the convoy.

"Da ......." Liu Weiming's 'ant' assault rifle in his hand made a crisp sound, and after sweeping the two Japanese soldiers hiding under the car to the ground, he shouted loudly: "The third squadron is responsible for blowing up the vehicle, and the others will follow me." After finishing speaking, Liu Weiming rushed to the back of the transport convoy with the rest of the team members. More than 50 trucks in this transport convoy were parked on the road in a row, and although the remaining Japanese soldiers were desperately resisting, they were defeated and retreated under the frantic fire of the Dragon's Tooth Brigade.

Just as Liu Weiming was advancing with the tail attack of the transport convoy, the team leader in charge of guarding the tail of the convoy was bitterly persuading the three palaces: "Your Excellency Shaozuo, the attack speed of the Chinese army is very fast, the first squad has been shattered, first love themselves They are attacking us, please get out of the car quickly, it is too dangerous to sit in the car." ”

Sannomiya Lishu didn't know that sitting on the ironclad car could only become the target of those Chahar troops with individual anti-armor weapons, but as the supreme commander of the convoy, this was his command post, how could he leave without permission?

Minomiya Ritsu shook his head and said, "You immediately command the troops to block the attack, and I will continue to contact the river Dazuo, there must be no one to guard here." ”

"Hello!" The squad leader had no choice but to go to the front to command the troops...... The news of the attack on the transport unit soon reached the logistics department in Jinzhou, and after receiving the news, Kawakawa Daisa immediately sent two brigades of reinforcements to support. However, less than 30 minutes later, the news came that more than half of the transport convoy had suffered casualties, and at this rate, in another half an hour, the two squadrons of the three palaces were about to be killed.

"Baga, the rice bucket of the three palaces, the strength of the two squads can't even defeat the small force of more than 100 people, did he, the squadron leader, grow up eating shit?" Although Kawakawa Osa was furious, he still had to pay for the incompetence of his subordinates, and after a while, he had no choice but to call Ryosuke Isoya and ask Ryosuke Isoya to urgently send an aircraft to support the transport convoy. Fortunately, Ryosuke Isoya did not embarrass him and quickly agreed to his request.

"Boom..... Boom ......" two more violent explosions on the highway reached the ears of the third palace, and the heart of the third palace jumped violently a few times. This is the arms and food that the empire sent to Jinzhou, and now it has been blown up by the people of China with a few grenades, and every time a car is blown up, it means that the empire will lose thousands or even tens of thousands of yen, and the huge loss makes the heart of the three palaces from a poor family really panic.

Minomiya Lishu shouted at the machine gunner who was operating the machine gun in the car: "Hurry up, you must stop those people, the machine gun fire must be fierce." ”

The 7.7 mm fixed gyratory machine gun on the ironclad car ...... frantically rotating back and forth and pouring a rain of bullets into the front, and the bullet casings continued to withdraw from the body of the machine gun, which was originally specially equipped with the Japanese Air Force's airborne machine gun, which used a special armor-piercing shell, and the power was very considerable, and the bullet hit the vehicles and trees next to the dragon's tooth commandos, and half of them were a hole in a dozen, and the power could not be underestimated.

"Jiang Jun, you quickly use the bazooka to knock out the iron turtle in the back, that machine gun is so fucking annoying." The blue dragon came and yelled at Jiang Jun behind him. "No way!" Liu Weiming, who was on the side, grabbed Jiang Jun, "The range of the bazooka is not enough, you move the recoilless gun from behind to bomb him off." ”

Jiang Jun nodded, and ran backwards. Liu Weiming saw that the Japanese army in front of him had occupied the favorable terrain, and the flying rain of bullets had locked up his offensive road, and he secretly hated in his heart, after all, he was a small force, and there were not many shells with bazookas and recoilless guns, otherwise as long as one car bombarded past, how could it be so troublesome.

After a while, Jiang Jun and two team members moved the recoilless gun over and quickly installed it, the long barrel pointed forward, Jiang Jun lay down at an angle of 90 degrees to the gun body, and another team member immediately opened the bolt door behind the shell, and then twisted the bolt door, came to the back of the operator, and patted the operator's shoulder. After receiving the signal, Jiang Jun adjusted the angle again, pulled the trigger, and with a "whoosh" sound, a thick smoke flashed, and the ironclad car in the third palace flew into the air in a burst of explosions......
