"Wait a minute!"

Zhang Chu is not in a hurry.

Now that there is a new force coming, let's settle down first.

It's a pity that there is only one regiment.

It would be nice if there were a dozen more regiments.

It is directly a large corps operation......

The Japanese also apparently had a large number of reinforcements arriving in Changping. The battle between the two sides became very intense. He needs to monitor it himself.

Don't let the Japanese invaders fight back successfully for a while, then it will not look good.

In fact, the fighting was fierce on both sides.

The Eighth Route Army replaced a large number of weapons and ammunition, and its combat effectiveness increased dramatically.

They're constantly attacking.

However, the Japanese are not vegetarians either. There is no doubt that the quality of the individual soldiers of the Japanese is superior.

Purely in terms of marksmanship, almost all of them were sharpshooters. Within two hundred meters, the hit rate is extremely high. Therefore, the Eighth Route Army launched several attacks, and there were many casualties.

Later, I finally realized that it was not possible to attack. It is difficult to tear through the Japanese defenses. So he changed his tactics and bombarded the Japanese with artillery fire.

All 75-mm field guns came in handy. 88 guns were also added to it.

As long as the Japanese fortifications are found, they will be directly aimed at with 88 guns. One dozen and one accurate.

However, the firepower was still insufficient.

The resistance of the Japanese invaders was still very tenacious. The battle is still scorching.

"Captain Fu!"

"There's something to discuss."

Zhang Chu beckoned.

The commander of the Pingxi Garrison Regiment is called Fu Juntan, a one-eyed dragon general.

It is said that his eyeballs were blown out during the battle and flickered in front of his eyes. He felt in the way. So simply rip it off. It's what it is.

No matter who sees him, he will involuntarily sigh in his heart, what a fierce general!

"Staff Officer Zhang, if you have something to say, let's talk about it."

Fu Juntan crawled over from the side.

The devil's firepower is also quite ferocious. No one dares to be careless.

In fact, as far as the current situation is concerned, it is actually the Japanese who have the advantage in troops. According to preliminary judgments, there may be about 20,000 Japanese invaders.

Obviously, this is a tough battle.

If you want to win Changping, it is definitely not easy.

However, the Eighth Route Army was also ready to gnaw on this bone.

There will be more and more Eighth Route Army coming.

Commander Yang of the Pingxi base area will also arrive and personally command. It's just that it hasn't arrived yet.

"105mm heavy artillery, do you know how to operate it?"

"Yes!"

"Then equip you with ten 105mm howitzers?"

"Good!"

Fu Juntan did not refuse.

Others were only 75 mm mountain guns. I find it easier to move.

But Fu Juntan likes big ones.

What happened to the 105mm howitzer?

What happens when you need a car?

Lao Tzu starts learning from now on! I don't believe it.

"Come with me!"

"Good!"

Zhang Chu took Fu Juntan to the rear of the position.

But it was the latest 105mm howitzer to be delivered. Ten doors in total. There are also twenty large trucks.

Each gun is equipped with 500 shells. That's exactly 10 tons.

Seriously, if you count the number of shells, 10 tons of shells is not much.

Ten guns, 10 tons each, that's 100 tons.

A hundred tons of ammunition, it sounds like a lot. In fact, it's just 5,000 shells.

"Ah......h

"It's ready."

Fu Juntan sighed.

That's a lot of efficiency! Say it's delivered, it's delivered.

In the past, it was difficult to climb to the sky if you wanted an infantry gun. Now it's a 105mm howitzer!

Others have sent all the cannons to their hands, and if they don't use them well, it's really shameless.

Stroking the cold barrel, Fu Juntan became excited.

These ten 105mm howitzers, do you keep the cubs?

Of course, it will be put into use immediately!

Train while fighting!

Win-win!

Immediately organize the personnel and set up an artillery battalion temporarily.

Zhang Chu must teach in person.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Finally, the first round of shelling began.

Shells fell heavily on the Japanese positions in Changping. There was a loud bang.

"Yaga!"

"Heavy artillery!"

Kenji Tsuchihara immediately felt wrong.

Damn it!

This is a large-caliber artillery of the Dirt Eight Road! At least 100 mm or more!

Damn it!

There is actually a heavy artillery on the dirt eight roads!

The Japanese also had several heavy artillery units in Beiping. But all the subordinates went out.

Therefore, at this moment, Changping does not have large-caliber artillery.

The previous defenders didn't feel anything wrong either.

Who would have thought that Tubalu would actually attack Changping.

"Boom ......"

"Boom ......"

Shells kept falling.

The violent explosion took the lives of one Japanese prisoner after another.

If you can't be blown up, you will be killed!

One shell will not shake to death, and a few more will definitely be shocked.

Relative to 75-mm shells. 105-mm shells are at least twice as powerful. In particular, the shock effect of the shock wave is doubled or tripled.

Why are 150mm howitzers the most terrifying?

That is, the shock wave of the shell has a large lethal range. Indirectly, it can also shock and kill many people.

It's useless to lie on the ground.

It's useless to hide in the trenches.

The shockwave can also knock you to death and injure you. There is simply nowhere to hide.

If it's a 406-mm naval gun......

…… Far from it.

"Yaga!"

"Where did the heavy artillery come from?"

"Who gave the heavy artillery to the Dirt Eight Road?"

"Who the hell is it?"

Kenji Dohihara secretly complained in his heart.

Unlucky!

Before, I definitely didn't expect that Changping would be so dangerous.

In the past, when fighting with the Chinese army, it had never experienced such heavy artillery fire. Never. Today is the first time.

In case you are blown up......

I'm the head of the Intelligence Division of the base camp who just took office!

Haven't you started working yet......

But retreat is also impossible at this time.

"What about aviation?"

"Why hasn't the plane been dispatched yet?"

"Yaga!"

Kenji Dohihara scolds irritablely.

As a result, I learned a terrible news. It was the attack on the Beiping airport. All planes were blown up.

The conning tower, ammunition depot, and oil depot were all blown up.

"Nani?"

Kenji Dohihara's eyes bulged out.

Oh, my God!

Such amazing news!

Still bad news!

It's over......

It's over......

Without the support of aviation, how could he counterattack the heavy artillery of the Tubalu?

Only the portion that was blown up for nothing......

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, it's too dangerous here. You'd better go back to Beiping! Sagawa Motozo shouted.

"Yaga! Shut up! Kenji Tsuchihara shook his head.

He wanted to go.

But can't go.

No matter what excuse you use to leave, as long as you leave, it is a sign of cowardice.

Anyone will find a palatial excuse.

No one is a fool.

It is 100% certain that once he leaves Changping, Changping will be lost immediately.

The earth has started to use heavy artillery!

If he doesn't sit here in person, Changping will be blown up in three days at most.

Now you can only go on the defensive.

can only fight as much as possible with the dirt eight roads. Buy more time for the rear.

He believed that the base camp would not sit idly by.

Once Changping falls, the next step is Beiping!

Don't you even want Beiping in the base camp?

The situation is urgent, and troops will definitely be transferred from the Kwantung Army! As long as you want, the Kwantung Army can arrive in 24 hours!

It's only 24 hours......

In fact, Kenji Dohihara's strategy was correct.

Hold on with fortifications,

However, when I think about it, I feel that something is very wrong.

After all, I have more than 10,000 people! was actually beaten by Tubalu only with the ability to parry, and had no power to fight back?

Don't the Imperial Army want to lose face?

However......

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Suddenly, fierce shouts of killing came.

I don't know which of the second-pole officers went crazy and actually launched a counterattack.

Outcome......

"Da Da Da ......"

"Sudden ......"

The firepower of the dirt road immediately swept over.

The Japanese invaders who participated in the counterattack were suddenly beaten to pieces and incomplete.

"Yaga!"

"Who disobeyed orders!"

"Military law engaged!"

Tohihara Kenji is not angry.

Counterattack!

Counterattack!

To fight back is to die!

Knock yourself into the muzzle of the gun on the dirt road. A waste of precious troops!

Yaga!

Death is not forgivable.

Immediately ordered again, strictly prohibiting the Japanese from launching a counterattack.

However......

Some of the Japanese did not listen.

For a long time, the Japanese have a tradition of going down to the top. That is, when the subordinates feel that the superiors are too cowardly, they often do not listen to the orders of the superiors.

Even extreme contempt for superiors!

Kenji Dohihara's order is that he can only defend, not counterattack. Some of the Japanese officers couldn't stand it. They think Kenji Dohihara is a coward!

Since he is a coward, of course, he can not obey orders. So they each organized their troops to fight back.

"It's Ono Brigade ......"

"Yaga!"

Kenji Tsuchihara was anxious and angry.

I really want to cut off this Ono's head with a single sword.

However, it can't be done.

Because, the crazy Ono has already taken all his subordinates to launch a fierce counterattack against the dirt eight roads.

This is the madness of the junior officers of the Japanese invaders.

They do everything. The top brass of the Japanese army was often unable to stop it.

How did the 226 mutiny come about?

It was initiated by a group of two-pole grassroots officers.

Those officers of the rank of second lieutenant, lieutenant, lieutenant, and junior lieutenant are all fanatical in their brains.

They do things with no regard for the consequences.

The mind is full of the emperor's holy war......

Kenji Dohihara is also fanatical in his own brain. But compared with these grassroots officers, it is still much worse. The people below don't have any strategic words. The end of the gun is dry.

It's not ......

There were six or seven hundred people, and they fought back frantically.

Fu Juntan's face was serious.

The Japanese are indeed murderous! Dare to fight back in this way.

Only indifference.

He welcomed such a counterattack.

The more brutal the Japanese counterattack, the greater the chance of being killed.

Really......

Various weapons fired.

Gu Zidi and others, who had just withdrawn, also joined the battle. Sniper rifles are still used.

That old cannon easily had more than sixty kills.

In the end, a large group of Japanese soldiers were all killed in front of the position. Ono, the captain of the Japanese Army, disappeared.

I don't know if it was destroyed by artillery fire or by heavy machine guns.

"Yaga!"

"No counterattack!"

"Violators of military law are engaged!"

Kenji Dohihara ordered in a rage.

But it was clear to him himself that this order might not have much effect.

If the people below are all crazy, it will be difficult for him to stop himself. Even, the most dangerous situation is that someone shoots their own black gun in the back.

This is not alarmist.

It is entirely possible that some of the two-pole officers will do so.

Once they decided that their former division commander had become a "coward", they would not hesitate to shoot.

"Your Excellency Section Chief......"

"The chief of the general staff of the base camp is looking for you......"

Suddenly, a staff officer came to report.

But it was the chief of the General Staff, Sugiyama Moto, who called Changping.

Sugiyama wanted to know for himself the situation at the front.

"Tu Fei Yuan-kun, I heard that you are ...... in Changping"

"Yes! Your Excellency Chief of the General Staff, I am fighting against the Dirt Eight Road. A large number of heavy artillery pieces were dispatched from the Tuba Road, and our army suffered heavy casualties......"

There was a brief silence on the other end of the line.

It seems to be judging the truth of what is being said.

"How is the combat effectiveness of the Dirt Eight Road?"

"Very strong."

"Soil and Fertilizer Plains ......"

"What I said is true. The firepower of the Tuba Road was too fierce for our troops to resist. I ask Your Excellency the Chief of the General Staff to arrange for reinforcements to be dispatched as soon as possible. Otherwise, Peking will not be guaranteed. ”

"Tubalu actually dares to attack Beiping?"

"Quite possibly."

"Really?"

Sugiyama Motomo silently hung up the phone.

Kenji Tsuchihara also hung up the phone.

This intelligence, it is estimated that no one in the base camp likes it. Heart-piercing. Uncomfortable. It doesn't look good on the face either.

However, all he reported was the truth.

The firepower of the Dirt Eight Road is so powerful. Heavy artillery, in particular, is very sharp.

If there are no reinforcements, Beiping will not be guaranteed!

As for Changping......

Who knows how long it will last?
