The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

The majestic music reverberated through the tweeters in various positions. It seemed that they were not afraid of being exposed at all, even including the heavy artillery positions set up in the rear. Pick up the cannonball without delay, stuff it into the breech, close the breech block, stabilize, and fire!

A heavy rain had just widened the water of the Luan River, and the Japanese army and security forces on the opposite bank felt a little more at ease, but the speed of the attack on the other side exceeded the reaction of the Kwantung Army headquarters, and they had no time to send more troops from here. Go out, spread out among the mountains and fields, and watch the small county town be filled with thousands of troops, and then, shells fall from the sky accompanied by singing!

For the first time, the artillerymen of the 200th Division burst out with mad enthusiasm for being able to let go of their hands and feet and waste large-caliber shells!What kind of general leads what kind of soldiers, even though the self-proclaimed madman Qiu Qingquan is the deputy, he has the greatest influence on the troops!In the first round, there was a divisional artillery regiment, a self-propelled artillery regiment, and an artillery battalion of an infantry regiment. The total number of three-material reinforcements was 18 150mm and 108 105mm artillery. !

Screaming and tearing the night sky, the light dragged by the cannonballs pierced the sky, and the sound of boiling explosions shook the position between the vast mountains and river valleys like an earthquake. The head was stuffed into the artillery hole of the trench, and from time to time, a ball of flames mixed with broken sleepers and broken corpses flew into the air!

The screams came and went on the east bank of the Luan River!

The ten-kilometer-wide frontal position was completely covered by overwhelming flames in less than 10 minutes. The soldiers who were preparing to advance to the position on the west bank were stunned!It turned out that the old man who taught the corps was okay.Remember this site in a second and you can find this site by Baidu search 23 Literature Network.

What level of firepower preparation is this?Such a brutal bombing was launched just to cover the pontoon bridge for the pontoon troops. Could it be that the price of the shells has been greatly reduced?It's worth more than 100 yuan once it's sent out, these prodigals!

The Japanese positions that can still be seen in the afterglow of the setting sun in the afternoon can’t see their true colors at all. Barbed wire fences, trenches, and deer villages are flying all over the sky like straws in the explosion of heavyweight shells, and the soft riverside sand can be swelled up. Tens of meters high, big pits appeared in front of the dense forest and wild land in horror. The reeds and shrubs that had begun to dry up ignited a raging fire, burning the people hiding inside to flee!

"Should we still fight this battle? Wait until the artillery bombardment is over. Just go and check the bones? Really, but what's wrong?"

The veterans who were not even able to match the ammunition clutched their hearts and complained. The explosion less than three kilometers away seemed to be right next to their ears, shaking their heads and buzzing. Landed at his door.

This is still watching Little Japan being bombarded. If he encounters such artillery fire, what will happen?I'm afraid I can only resign myself to fate!

The tracked bridge erecting vehicle of the pontoon bridge quickly assembled the pontoon bridge on the smoky river, and a battalion of "bayonet" tanks unloaded in an assault and drove to the vicinity.On the round shell-shaped turret, the heads of the commanders popped out one after another.Looking in amazement at the sea of ​​flames rising and falling in front of him, he slapped the top cover again and again excitedly, this time must be enjoyable!

Hu Qiru let go of Qiu Qingquan's command, but he didn't expect this fellow to be so crazy. Seeing the artillerymen firing thousands of shells in one breath, he couldn't help but smiled bitterly: "Do you need to hit so hard? There don't seem to be many on the other side." Japanese army."

Qiu Qingquan gritted his teeth and hummed: "Since it's a shell that doesn't cost money, why don't you let it go and use it? It's not bad to let the Japanese army form the illusion that we want to take this place as the main attack direction! Of course, if it backfires, it may be more good!"

He also gave a direct order to the artillery commander who was beginning to feel distressed: "There is no old order. Don't stop!"

Hu Qiru sighed in his heart, there were only a few free shells, although a cannon was equipped with a base of 150 rounds, but less than [-] rounds were actually shipped, even copper-clad steel or even steel shells with new technology were oiled. Ammunition, that is not a small expense, [-] shells a round.The small hundred yuan is gone, and the serious eight hundred cannon is fired, and the gold is ten thousand taels!

A full half an hour of artillery preparations blasted the 2000 puppet troops on the opposite side and a regiment of Japanese troops to death.Less than a thousand died on the spot, but the entire puppet army was scared to diaper their pants, collapsed on the spot and fled in all directions, leaving less than [-] brave people.This made the Japanese army commander who was holding the battle speechless and helpless for a while, and at the same time felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

The enemies on the opposite side are all so fierce, but there is no time to transport heavy weapons on my side, how can I fight this battle?

Can't fight!Only 10 minutes after the firing, the emergency telegram was sent to the headquarters of the Kwantung Army. Ningji Okamura, who made the entire combat strategy, was shocked five points

Zhong didn't say a word, he crawled onto the map, frowning and looking back and forth, and after a long time he shook his head with a sullen face.

"It's hard to determine the true intentions of the Chinese army! This time they made the battle plan. Zhu Bin, we couldn't get any information beforehand, but we learned from the Zhongyang Army that their battle will not have any falsehood. Once it starts, it will be It is necessary to fight to the end thoroughly. But there is unusually fierce artillery fire here, do they already know that our deployment is not enough?"

The central yang army and the local army don't have many secrets, and there are even people who voluntarily sell information everywhere, and there are many peaceful people who don't want to fight. When Neiji Okamura was sure that he would go to war, it was still a few months ago.

But knowing it is one thing, and making tit-for-tat preparations is another. The borders of the entire four provinces of Manchuria are too long. If we want to protect them all, we can't plug all the loopholes without 50 million troops.

But in any case, launch a general offensive in Duolun?There is only one rugged road winding through the mountains and rivers, even if it is a place that can be blocked by infantry, how to use cumbersome mechanized troops?

Umezu Yoshijiro left the Kwantung Army before he was promoted and made a fortune, so he was involved in such a big event. Don't mention the annoyance in his heart. He didn't expect that the speed and strength of China's actions would be so resolute. Diplomatic and spy methods were completely useless. They were all determined to seek military revenge. Only a few days after the start of the war in Germany, they came to the door, and one guy mobilized millions of troops. It was as ferocious as a different group of people.

He shook his head with a dark face: "It is possible, but it is not decisive. Our defense line must always stick to the front of the Great Wall and the coastline. As long as there is no breakthrough there, the Chinese army will not be able to continue the long attack line of thousands of kilometers."

He thought he had seen through Zhu Bin's scheme, and planned to make a fool of himself?Use a large group of elite troops to create the illusion of a side attack on the grassland, attract the frontal defense force to achieve a strategic breakthrough, and directly break through Liaoning to take the core?How can it succeed!

Okamura Ningji's head was in a mess, and he thought it made sense to try to smooth it out. After all, this is in line with the action strategy. No matter how awesome Zhu Bin is, he can't open a thoroughfare in Yanshan Mountain for the armored troops to pass quickly. That's so unscientific.

Moreover, the northern part of the Chahar Grassland borders Rehe. There are many rivers, lakes, and swamps. The terrain is complex and connected to the Greater Khingan Mountains. If it is shipped out of Shanxi, it will make them vomit blood!

The most critical area between the white mountains and the black waters of the four northeastern provinces is that the Kwantung Army has been there for so many years, and they have not done a good job in reconnaissance for decades. Why do these guest troops detour thousands of miles to fight here?

Unbelievable!

"However, the sudden appearance of the main tank troops of China in Outer Mongolia is very suspicious! Their purpose is only to attack our garrison?"

Neiji Okamura couldn't figure it out, but he believed that the purpose must not be simple. It was only now that the war started, and it was too early to say.He even has a plan. If it is impossible, he can give up Mongolia, and see if they have the ability to stay on such a vast ground---especially the Soviet army who wants to come back at any time is watching!

"In any case, hold your ground first and see what they want to do!"

Neiji Okamura threw away the pencil, rubbed his scalp a little irritably, and made a decision.

Umezu Yoshijiro nodded in agreement: "That's the only way! In any case, this will be a tough battle, and we must not make any mistakes. It is still necessary to send a strong force to Chifeng. In addition, it depends on the naval operations ability, if we can successfully open up the second battlefield, we can seize the opportunity and reverse the situation in one fell swoop!"

He swung his fist vigorously, as if to cheer himself up, he was decisive!

Neiji Okamura thought more than he did. At this moment, he recalled the strategic deployment made a few months ago, and he couldn't help sighing: "It would be much easier if we took the initiative to launch the battle earlier and take back the Great Wall defense line! "

Just in case, the Kwantung Army Command quickly decided to send a division to Chifeng for reinforcements, and transferred most of the troops stationed there to build two strong lines of defense between Damiao and Huamugou. To prevent the passage of possible storms, the safety of Chengde chariots must be guaranteed.

Soon after the order was issued, the Kwantung Army Headquarters changed its action plan for the first time. Instead of waiting for the opponent to provoke a full-line battle, the divisions deployed along the Great Wall launched attacks overnight. Find out its true intentions.

At 9 o'clock in the morning on September 24th, the Wangzhangtang Brigade on the Mongolian Plateau had just met the mechanized troops swarming from the 2th Division of the Japanese Army. In the two frontier positions of the Japanese Army in Chengde and Suizhong, the two divisions had nearly 10 people. A sudden violent shelling was launched, and the elite infantry rushed fiercely to the defense line of the Chinese defenders!
