The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

"Damn it, it's better to wait for the big guy to be strong enough! One guy hits fifty miles, let's see how you little devil can charge forward!"

Huang Weigang, the commander of the 112th Brigade, lay on the defense line outside Tianjin, risking being bombarded by Japanese artillery, using a large multiplier telescope to observe the unlucky appearance of the Japanese army in the distance who was blown dizzy, and excitedly "bang bang" repeatedly beat The sandbags beside her, and the back molars of her grinning mouth are all exposed.

Owning a 152mm cannon was something I never even thought about before. It costs tens of thousands of dollars, and one round of shells can buy a good German-made Mauser rifle. Such extravagant equipment can’t be afforded or used. Get up!

But this time, thanks to Zhu Bin's righteousness, three battalions of 29th Army students were equipped with 36 m24 cannons that were exactly the same as their own equipment, and they were equipped for the 37th Division, 38th and the Artillery Regiment directly under the Army. None, and even trained a group of artillery very intimately, and this is how we have today's powerful counterattack.

The big guy with a full range of 28 kilometers weighs less than 10 tons. He can run around when he is dragged by a large heavy truck tractor. It's a quick move!

The specially equipped engineering vehicles and ammunition vehicles can put the cannons into battle at the fastest speed, without worrying about being discovered and destroyed by the opponent's retaliatory firepower. It's hard to find traces of it.All in all, everyone has considered all issues, and now, they just need to let go and do it boldly!

"Hit! Hit hard! Don't be stingy with the shells. Let's talk after firing them all! Fuck you little devil, I have endured your anger for a long time!"

Four years ago, during the Battle of Xifengkou, Huang Weigang led the troops as backup to charge and kill the enemy many times.It sounds mighty, but it was actually very hard, and there were casualties along the way!If it weren't for the complex terrain of the Great Wall defense line, it would be difficult for the Japanese army to deploy large-scale mechanized equipment.I don't know how many people will die!

Today is the same, there are few mountains and many rivers around Tianjin, the water network is dense, and the plains are everywhere. The Japanese army attacked from the north without any cover. The scattered attack formation may not be damaged by the cluster artillery fire, but it can be squatted on the ground. The heavy artillery position that is difficult to move is relatively simple!

"Woo---boom! Boom!" After the heavy artillery shell rushed to the sky, its ballistic trajectory suddenly turned and fell almost vertically, and the whistling sound it brought was breathtaking!The 150th heavy artillery position of the Artillery Wing of the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army, which was set up near Junliang City, was devastated by the sudden bombing!

Colonel Takeda Shin of the Fifth Artillery Regiment had no idea.She put the gun at a place 15 kilometers away, and it would be enough for the other party. She couldn't figure it out even more. She clearly said that the country's miscellaneous army did not have heavy artillery, so how could it suddenly come out and fight so far? Guy, it's too powerful!

12 152mm plus howitzers with excellent ballistic performance and super large warheads.Bring incomparably brutal lethality!After one round, the area with a radius of one square kilometer was completely covered by a sea of ​​gunpowder and fire. The high-temperature flames expanding at a speed of tens of thousands of meters per second drove the fragments across a radius of more than 100 meters in all directions, no matter what they encountered. , were pierced by sharp holes!

The Wing Headquarters of General Takeda Xin was set up next to the Heavy Artillery Brigade.Located in the woods outside a small village, the concealment is excellent, even if it is the air force's investigation, it is difficult to find it, and it is difficult for the air strike to dive bomb or sweep it, which is very ideal.

But under the violent bombardment of such heavy artillery, everything turned into clouds, and the shocking accuracy of the shell's impact point was almost calculated by calipers.After two rounds, half of the entire heavy artillery brigade was killed!He had no choice but to yell "Transfer!"

Seishiro Itagaki's face turned blue with anger. He thought that the intelligence work he ran in Tianjin was detailed enough, and he personally hired and arranged many people. It has only been half a year, and a group of bastards don't even have such important information. Didn't get it!The opponent's artillery fire density was twice as high as expected!The attacking chariot troops were ravaged by the shells, and they were the first to bear the brunt along the way.A dozen vehicles were blown up abruptly, killing and injuring more than 100 people!

On the contrary, the enemy's fortifications known in the early stage were not completely destroyed. When the infantry rushed to the front, groups of machine gunners emerged from the ground, and there were piles of grenadiers, mortars and wireless weapons. Recoil gun!God knows how they all got there? !Could it be that the newly built underground air defense fortifications in the past six months have extended to this place? !

After the conflict in September last year, Song Zheyuan began to change his mind, and his attitude towards Japan became more and more ambiguous. At the same time, he asked Zhu Bin to provide an engineering team to start building underground air defense fortifications in Tianjin and Beiping.According to the intelligence personnel's investigation, the number of people who came was actually not many, but there were a lot of machines, and the place where the construction started was between the barracks in the two places. What's the situation, I don't know!

However, with just a few people, how big a project can be done in less than a year?

Itagaki Seishiro doesn't understand!But now he understands a little bit, something must have happened that he doesn't understand, so that the other party was able to build a battle-ready fortification directly outside the city without being noticed, and even planted a piece of defensive fortress in advance!

The offensive pace of the Fifth Division was abruptly stopped!What happened four years ago on the right bank of the Luan River seems to be about to happen!

At this time, Song Zheyuan, who was commanding by remote control in Beiping, had been in fear for a long time, until Huang Weigang's report came, saying that he had withstood the first round of the Japanese army's onslaught, he was greatly relieved, and his face was pale and he let out a long sigh , and said to Zhang Zizhong, who was supporting his sick body to work: "Zhu Hanchen's engineering skills are indeed well-deserved! Tianjin City, we can keep it!"

A morbid blush appeared on Zhang Zizhong's disheveled face, but his spirit improved a lot. After all, that area was his defense zone.

Subconsciously turned his head and looked at the empty and tall underground artillery headquarters again, and nodded sincerely: "That's true! It's amazing. It's incredible!"

The place where they are located is a fortress 30 meters deep underground in Beiping. The reinforced concrete building with a height of 15 meters is divided into three floors. The top floor is a high-strength structure with a thickness of 2 meters. You can't wear it even if you drive it!

The center of the fortress is more than 100 meters in diameter, and there are hundreds of rooms, large and small, which is more than enough to pile up the entire headquarters of the 29th Army. A series of underground structures that radiate out like a chain, the military passage directly connects the ground headquarters and the military barracks, and the civilian air-raid shelter is set up separately.Enough to squeeze the people in Beiping city in!

If such a large project is excavated by manpower, it will definitely take three to five years, and the cost will be astronomical. Song Zheyuan can't afford it and can't do it.But last year, Zhu Bin casually dispatched two engineering corps. With the assistance of a total of 5 shield tunneling machines, it took only 8 months to complete the construction. At that time, Song Zheyuan really saw it.What is the power of technology, and what kind of equipment Zhu Bin possesses!

The earth pressure shield tunneling system with the largest diameter of 150 meters has a huge circular cutter wheel on the top, and a 50-meter-long car body is dragged behind it. It slowly advances on the steel rails laid at the same time, with two layers of structure in between.The first layer of pipes outputs the soil and sand crushed by the excavation cutter wheel, and the first layer places and installs the reinforced concrete prefabricated parts. The driving speed is as high as [-] meters per day per unit!

Such five machines work around the clock, thousands of engineers and technicians assist in the construction, and a large number of prefabricated parts are shipped directly from Shandong.The speed is staggering, and the concealment is excellent. Except for the entrance and the necessary vertical air hole on the top, there is no need to worry about being discovered by outsiders. It is impossible to go in and investigate!

Tianjin City is due to the existence of the concession.The project was relatively small, so it mainly completed a circle of fortifications around the city. The top of the various fortifications built directly on the ground did not move soil at all. It was not until today that the Japanese army beat them to the door, so they had to lift the camouflage. Click, it will take effect immediately!

Because Zhu Bin's subordinates were responsible for the construction of the entire project, even the [-]th Army only knew what it looked like when it was stationed in the near future. No matter how powerful the Japanese army is, it will not be able to pass the test of the tightly sealed security forces!

For such a big project, Song Zheyuan paid a very high price. A large number of factories in the Pingjin area moved to Shandong, and many of the mines he controlled were included in Zhu Bin's development echelon. In exchange for various equipment and projects , but now it seems that the flower is not a loss at all!

The two positions of Beiping and Tianjin were rock-solid for a while, and it was difficult to break through. However, between Pingjin and Tianjin, the 14th Division led by Kenji Doihara attacked very smoothly. It took only half a day to cross the line of defense from Langfang. After crossing the Yongding River, kill Ba County!Its left attacking force detoured towards Jinghai. If there was no obstruction, it might only take half a day to reach the place at night, thus completing the outflanking of Tianjin!

However, at this time, the Lin Zhencheng Department of the 12th Division of the 29th Army of Yu Baoguo had already begun to unload from Machang. Simultaneously drive to the place!

At 14 o'clock in the afternoon, the 29th Division of the Japanese Army had just occupied Baxian County, and when the left side was about to cross the Daqing River and attack southward, the main force of the [-]th Division's two artillery regiments and one mechanized infantry regiment took the first step into Zhan'an, and reached the new town on the north bank of the river. The forward of the Japanese army is twenty kilometers away, facing each other far away!

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the 29th Regiment of the 169th Division first took the lead, and the rocket launchers of the three battalions were lined up in the left-wing preset position of Anseong, forming an artillery array line with a width of one kilometer!There are 54 guns in total, each of which has 48 tubes of 203mm rocket launchers rising rapidly, and the ten-meter-long heavy gun carriage is fixed on all sides. The posture is frightening!

At 35:14 p.m., Major General Yu Zong's headquarters of the 27th Brigade of the 2th Division of the Doihara Division, 1 tanks of various types from the 64nd Infantry Regiment and the [-]st Du Li Chariot Regiment lined up together, aggressively covering the area. Xinzhen, rush straight to An's position!

"The army of the empire has never been as powerful as it is today! There is no place in the world that can stop us from advancing!"

Standing on the top of the turret of the majestic Type [-] tank, Major General Taniyu Soo, with a telescope on his chest, wearing white gloves on a hot day, not afraid of getting prickly heat, leaning on a saber and squinting his eyes, looked ahead and was crossing three pontoon bridges quickly. The elite troops crossing the Daqing River.The thin lips are pursed into a sharp downward curve, and the slightly slack double chin is raised high, creating an image of arrogance and arrogance spontaneously!

This journey is so smooth!As the left side of the 14th Division, he has complete autonomy in command. He does not need to obey the random orders of the division commander, but can command his heroic subordinates to sweep away all enemies!

He was assigned two infantry regiments, a chariot regiment, a heavy artillery regiment, and an engineering regiment.A cavalry regiment occupies almost two-thirds of the main force of the entire division. A force of up to 15000 people can completely take charge of a [-]-kilometer frontal attack area by itself, giving full play to the left attack tactics of the Imperial Japanese Army. Before the enemy army had time to prepare, a thunderous blow completely defeated the enemy!

From successfully crossing the Yongding River, it is nearly 29 kilometers here.Hardly encountered any resistance, the incompetent [-]th Chinese Army fled back to Tianjin in embarrassment without even the courage to resist. In front, only a group of recruits who came in a hurry would become the first victims under the trampling of their iron hooves!

"Buzz!" A Type [-] reconnaissance plane swung its body and slid low above its head, circled around and roared forward.Next to the chariot, a staff officer drove quickly in a BMW military convertible imported from Germany, saluted with a "snap", and said loudly: "Report to the brigade commander! The reconnaissance plane sent information that the forward of the Chinese troops has entered An'an. Scale It is estimated that the two regiments, all mechanized formations, are rapidly unfolding!"

"Well, I got it!" Major General Guan Yuxun nodded coldly, with a disdainful smile on his lips, and ordered in a deep voice: "Leave them alone. Order the troops to cross the river faster, within an hour. Move all the artillery wing to the predetermined location, and then launch a full-scale bombardment on the Chinese troops."

"Hi!" The staff officer saluted and turned to leave.

Major General Guan Yuxun's eyes drooped down, he slapped the handle of the knife with his right hand, and muttered: "Anyone who dares to stop the Imperial Army will be completely crushed!"

The Daqing River gushes from the mighty Baiyangdian Lake into the downstream Delta Lake.The channel is only more than 20 kilometers wide, and there are not many places suitable for armored troops to enter. A large number of river beaches and swamps are terrifying traps. If the opponent can build fortifications first, crossing the river may be a little more troublesome.Now, it's very easy!Even without air support, no problem!

Thinking of the Air Force, Major General Tanyu Soo couldn't help but slander, those idiots are really embarrassing!More than 500 planes went out, and more than 300 planes came back. One of them was killed by someone face-to-face, but they didn't even know what the enemy was, and they were expected to cover the attack?What are you kidding, it sucks!

Right now, there are only a large number of reconnaissance planes active in the sky. The battlefield is too wide open, and there are not many left for my side, but it is enough!

People screaming, machinery roaring, overlooking from a high altitude, the Japanese army of five regiments divided into columns, about 2 kilometers apart from each other, crossed the Daqing River that had just flooded a few days ago, and the cavalry who opened the way galloped wildly , Charge towards the small village a few kilometers ahead!

An Zuoyi, Li Yuanlong, the head of the 169th Regiment, raised his hand to look at his watch, narrowed his eyes slightly, and smiled at the staff officer who stretched his neck and waited for a long time: "Start!"

On the artillery position one kilometer away, a roar broke the silence: "Everyone is ready---! Let it go!"

A small flag was swung down vigorously, and the 6 rocket vehicles gathered in a pile shook slightly almost at the same time. A blazing flame several meters long spewed out from behind the densely packed pipes raised high, and a slender rocket It whizzed out, let out a strange cry of "Hum Hum" through the air, and left through the air with a dazzling tail flame!

Only a few tenths of a second apart, the second tube, the third tube, the death tube... Each 48 tubes fired rockets one after another. In an instant, the entire position was submerged in thick smoke, and nothing could be seen , Looking down from a high altitude, I can see that on a plane with a diameter of 1 kilometer, 2592 rockets are scattered in rows on a plane of about 15 kilometers, like a super-sized siege crossbow, leaping across a space distance of [-] kilometers , Swarming towards the banks of the Japanese army crossing the river!

"What's that sound...?!" The strange howling coming through the air made the cavalry team in front subconsciously look up, but they saw tiny figures passing by at a very high speed in the clear sky. If the eyes are not good enough, it is almost impossible to see their appearance, but because there are too many of them, and the sound is too loud, densely packed like long arrows, it is really spectacular!

But why does this sound sound so frightening? !A bad feeling suddenly surged in the cavalry!

On the south bank of the Daqing River, a group of infantrymen who were rectifying suddenly looked at some small spots in front of them and swarmed in. The next moment, a two-meter-long rocket suddenly pierced under the eyelids with the sound of the wind. When it was half a meter deep, there was a sudden earth-shattering explosion, "Boom!"A group of fireballs with a diameter of more than ten meters erupted impressively, engulfing a dozen Japanese soldiers in an instant, and within milliseconds, thousands of ball projectiles roared and flew in all directions, covering a radius of up to 150 meters!

"Bombardment! Cover!"

Not far away, the captain, who was lucky enough not to be bombed, just opened his throat and yelled, and saw the same slender and weird weapons "swish swish" in the sky, swarming in a dense line like a rain of arrows. The first one was still 500 meters away, the second one approached 50 meters, and the tenth one was in front of his eyes. The interval between them was not even two seconds, and he could even see it clearly with his eyes so good. The guy with the flame-spraying tail has a gray-white paint job, and has wings that are spread out steeply from front to back! (to be continued)rq
