The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

In the south of Gubeikou, in the low valley where the Chao River and the Bai River converge, there are as many as 20 mu of fertile fields formed by countless years of alluvial accumulation. There are dozens of villages gathered here. If there is no war, except for floods, it will be an excellent land. blessed land.

But since the great battle of the Great Wall in 1933, a large number of young and strong people were dragged to the city gate to build fortifications and work as civilian laborers. With the defeat of the army and the strong advance of the Japanese army, tens of thousands of people have suffered unreasonable disasters.For the next four years, there seemed to be peace under the rule of the Han Jian and the Japanese puppet army, and then from the second half of 37, there was another round of expropriation and labor that was even larger than before.

Compared with the poor national government, the red-eyed Japanese do not treat ordinary people as human beings at all. During more than a year of crazy fortification construction, no less than a thousand young and strong laborers were directly exhausted to death, and there were not a few whose families were destroyed. So much so that for three consecutive seasons, the local landlords did not have enough tenant labor to help with farming, and the tractors bought at a high price were forcibly expropriated, and the so-called compensation given could not even buy a wheel.

So what if you suffer? The Japanese did not regard the places outside the Great Wall as their own at all. The national government worried about the war and pretended not to be able to control it. As a result, a large number of landlords and rich peasants fled to Pingjin, leaving only some old, weak, sick and disabled to take care of them. Large tracts of fertile land will not go to waste.

Now, when the footsteps of the war are approaching again, the rest of the people in Mujiayu simply scatter and hide in the valleys and fields in all directions, or in the county towns dozens of miles away, regardless of whether it is raining , Chaobai two rivers are known for their water potential.It was a good time to water the wheat field, but Sima Jinming looked around from the slowly advancing tank. Except for the clanging and clashing of steel, he could not even see the dogs barking and the chickens crowing. The villages were separated by low rolling hills All around, I can't smell any popularity!

"The war continues, and the people's livelihood is ruined! Just let the country be trampled by these Japanese pirates. The crimes of the princes in the court are too great!"

He gritted his teeth involuntarily, with a look of hatred on his face that seemed to be eating people.

If the bigwigs in central yang were a little bit tougher, or if the princes in the north were a little more patriotic.At the beginning, the Japanese army was completely driven out of the Great Wall in one go, even if the three eastern provinces were not moved temporarily, at least they would not be so passive.Most of northern Hebei would not have been ruined by the Japanese.

Two years ago, it barely made sense to say that the armaments were insufficient and helpless. Today, the millions of Chinese troops are all elite. Each division has at least one battalion of 105mm artillery, and each army has at least one battalion of 150mm heavy artillery. There are hundreds of fighter planes, thousands of tanks and chariots, and the military industry can barely be self-sufficient. Even if millions of good men shed blood and sacrificed, can they still fail those Japanese pirates who bully the weak and fear the hard?

What kind of practical exercises are you doing?Pretending to show who!If you hit him, you have to beat him to your heart's content!

Sima Jinming thought of this, and a gloomy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Since he had the opportunity to fight this time, how far will the battle go.I'm afraid I can't help those gentlemen above who are afraid of breaking pots and pans!If my group of incomparably precious backbones of the direct line are in a bitter battle, can Commander Gui just let him sacrifice and let him go?

I'm afraid I can't!There is a big soldier in the teaching corps, and even a twisted and crooked one can withdraw a general or senior official's relatives and old friends!

"Hmph, watch me put on a big show for you Haosheng!"

With a firm mind, he heard the sound of self-propelled artillery bombardment gradually stop.The faint light of dawn tore through the floating gunpowder smoke in the sky and quickly dispersed the night. Sima Jinming lowered his head and shouted: "Ask the third battalion and the fourth battalion, where are you?"

The correspondent immediately reported: "It has arrived at the predetermined location, ready to launch an attack at any time!"

Sima Jinming nodded: "Okay! Tell them, once they hear the Japanese artillery bombardment, they don't need to wait for my order to attack directly! Be sure to completely wipe out the enemies on the two wings!"

"Japanese artillery bombardment?" The correspondent was confused for a while, but passed on without daring to neglect.

Sima Jinming said coldly: "Do you think you can defeat the little devil's defense with just a bombardment? That's just the beginning!"

With many years of experience in the army, Sima Jinming, who is well versed in the level of the Japanese army's civil work, never believes that the Japanese army's fortifications are only what the intelligence says.They have suffered countless times from Zhu Bin, how can they be careless?Look, the road ahead is by no means peaceful!

As if to verify his judgment, a tank that hit the front sent out a series of reports: "The Japanese army has cut off all the roads ahead and led them into the river. There are too many anti-tank trenches and it is too wide to pass through!"

"I knew it!" Sima Jinming turned his head to look at the smoke billowing hills in the distance, and said sharply, "Order the companies to quickly disperse their formations and hide under the woods and mounds to prevent the Japanese artillery from retaliating! The engineering company immediately Make way forward!"

Looking down from the top of the mountain hundreds of meters high, the steel army displayed in the relatively flat valley is simply a fat meal for people to eat!If you can't pass quickly, the consequences will be disastrous!

On Yunfeng Mountain, the billowing smoke is still raging, and under the vegetation that has been almost swept away by thousands of shells, there are layers of messy and broken Japanese fortifications, all of which are dilapidated and not enough for use, but there is not a single one of them. Corpses, not a single destroyed weapon!

Just as the sound of the explosions stopped and the dawn dawned, wide caves were opened under the cliffs and stone walls on both sides of the mountain. Countless Japanese soldiers swarmed out like ants. Shuo, with the tools in his hands rising and falling like rain, he quickly moved away the gravel and trees scattered on the rough passage, pushed them down the valley, or filled up the big crater caused by the shells.

Followed by a 75-type infantry gun weighing only a few hundred kilograms, and a smart and convenient [-]mm mountain gun, scattered layer by layer, forming three layers of up and down in a short time, as many as twenty or thirty guns position!

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers poured into shell craters or boulders with their light and heavy weapons without saying a word. The dilapidated fortifications were also repaired in a hurry by engineers. Loomingly busy.

On the small mountainside in the northwest of Yunfeng Mountain, under the cover of the surrounding trees, the caves with a height of two floors were uncovered, and the powerful crawler-type artillery tractors slowly pulled out heavy artillery. , Entering the position where the camouflage net is torn off, there are not only the Type 150 heavy artillery, but also the Type 18 105mm field cannon with a range of up to 12 kilometers. The total number is no less than [-]!

After countless careful calculations and calibrations, the artillerymen skillfully deployed the artillery in place. Boxes of shells were scattered around, and they never dared to put them next to the cannon carelessly.

Near the top of the mountain, there is a cave dug deep into the mountain. The headquarters pushed open the small window that was blocked. The captain of the Ninth Cannon Corps, Xiao Nuggets, raised his head to look at the gray sky with rising smoke. His thin lips were pursed into a line. He bent down, showing a crying and laughing expression, and said faintly: "The Chinese soldiers are proud to be able to force the imperial army to adopt a defensive posture. But that's it, the next step is to give them a good job." It's time for class!"

Ten minutes later, the thick smoke that permeated the battlefield began to dissipate. Between the wide valley and fertile fields, the scattered tank battalions, with the assistance of bulldozers and other engineering vehicles, quickly broke through two four- to five-meter-wide fields filled with river water. Ditch, the steel track crushed the green wheat field and continued to move forward, there was a sudden "boom", a tank was blown upright by the Type 10 anti-tank mine buried in the middle of the road, and the heavy vehicle body trembled violently , The track on the left "clanged" and spread flat on the ground like a dead snake.

Amidst the billowing smoke, two tank crew members crawled out from the top, coughed and ran away, and then dragged out with a bloody head, looking like they were going to die.

The other tanks and accompanying armored vehicles following behind immediately slowed down, and a company commander showed his head and shouted loudly: "It's nainai! Which grandson opened this road?! Even if there are mines, they can't be detected. What are you eating!?"

A geep car came bouncing over, and two engineers shouted as they ran, covering their helmets profusely with sweat, "You can't blame us! The little devil is too bad! Scatter the broken iron pots everywhere, explore Lei Qi always lies about the military situation, there is no way!"

The company commander couldn't help but scolded: "I don't care about that! Anyway, if you don't make a safe route, I will tie you in front of the tank as a minesweeper! Hurry up and think of a way, otherwise so many people will be blocked in the middle of the road. Are you going to be a living target for the devil?!"

Maybe he committed Tai Sui, or he didn't brush his teeth last night, the effect was immediately apparent when the crow's mouth was opened, and the two engineers jumped into the geep vehicle, stretched out four fiberglass poles carrying mine detectors, and just drove out It was less than 20 meters away, and there was a roar in the sky like a train passing through a cave at high speed. The rumbling rumble was like thunder, which made people feel tight in their chests. The next moment, a huge afterimage smashed down next to the smoking tank!

"boom!"

Like a thunderbolt, a loud noise suddenly erupted, and a large pit with a diameter of four to five meters was opened in the fertile field. The 18-ton hull of the Type IV tank that was close at hand seemed to be made of paper. Generally, it is forcibly torn into pieces by unrivaled power, and it flies tens of hundreds of meters away with the high-speed squeezed impact air wave "hula la"!

The company commander didn't fully understand what was going on, he felt that a group of intense flashes dazzled his eyes and he couldn't see anything, and the half of his protruding body suddenly folded back as if hit by a heavy hammer. The waist almost broke with a "click"!The heavy tank was lifted off the ground by half of the tracks abruptly!

And the geep car that ran out for more than ten meters simply flew into the air like a toy, turned over and hit more than a dozen consecutive rolls, and fell to pieces. Scattered all over the fields!

The wild air wave swept across a radius of [-] meters, the wheat seedlings were uprooted in large areas, and the sky was covered by boiling smoke and swirling mud, as if it was covered by dark clouds!

Sima Jinming, who was a few kilometers away behind, was shocked by the loud noise, his eyes widened, and he shouted: "Cao his uncle! What caliber of heavy artillery did the little devil use!" (Your support is welcome, it is my biggest gun! motivation.)
