Chapter 105 Afterglow of the First Division
In the afternoon, when the front line was most dangerous, the Japanese were repeatedly attacked by the Japanese. Wang Mingzhang and Fan Shaozeng had no choice. In theory, the front-line positions could be given up, but the Japanese could always follow them and enter the second-line positions in Chengguan. The two of them could only use the tactic of adding fuel to the troops, one battalion and one battalion to the front-line positions to snatch the lost positions back.
When the front was at its most dangerous time, Wang Mingzhang remembered the plane in the morning and tentatively sent a telegram to the Ministry of Military Affairs of Peking. As a result, dozens of bombers painted with blue sky and white sun flags arrived in Chengde dozens of minutes later. The bomber still stood on the Japanese heads. After the escorted fighter dropped the bombs they carried, they began to repeatedly dive and strafuse the Japanese soldiers underground.
This air raid bombing did not kill many Japanese soldiers, but the Japanese who evaded bombs disrupted the order and the support of the charging troops was cut off. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Mingzhang sent Fan Shaozeng, the general of Tang Ying's army in the 136th Division, to replace them.
This task was obtained by Tang Ying's kneeling down for Wang Mingzhang. Originally, Wang Mingzhang was inclined to send another brigade of his 122nd Division, but Tang Ying, who is the deputy commander, no longer did it. In the morning, your 122nd Division showed up, and in the afternoon, Fan Haer from the Fourth Division also showed up. Can't my 136th Division be raised by my stepmother? You Wang Mingzhang also know that the Sichuan Army will not be able to make a comeback without winning a few battles. I, Tang Ying, just want to be stabbed in the backbone for the rest of my life?
After some wrong reasons, Tang Ying finally got his wish and personally transferred the 136th Division's 1st and 1st Brigade to the front line.
Chengde City became a huge barracks at this time. Except for some people who were instructed by the engineering battalion to prepare for the final street fighting fortifications, tens of thousands of strong men were conducting military training. Most of these strong men came from Sichuan and Rehe. The broken troops were replaced and filled with the city to raise the wounded and other lightly injured men. The combat effectiveness of a unit was complete.
The troops are no longer all of Chuanbazi. The veterans used Trump to tell the recruits in Rehe about the place that outsiders thought was a panda country. In fact, few people had seen pandas. The thing smelled humans from afar and ran away. Traps and other things were not a problem, because they ate tender bamboo.
After the Japanese were air strikes in the afternoon, the tide-like offensive stopped. Yanagawa Heisuke asked the troops to check and was shocked. Before this was done, ten thousand people were gone, and half were killed and injured in two air strikes. Almost all the cavalry corpses of the First Division that participated in the attack were destroyed, and several infantry corpses were beaten to pieces.
If Chengde was captured, it would be fine, but the front line outside the city is still in the hands of the opponent. What surprised Yanagawa Heisuke the most was that the intelligence sent out based on the special high school class was just a third-rate local unit, and the attacking First Division was the A-level unit of the A-level unit of the Wanma Division. Most of the personnel of the First Division were from Tokyo and its surrounding prefectures, which were troops growing in the brilliance of the Sun God.
It is said that at this time, Heisuke Yanagawa should have another unit to attack, but Heisuke Yanagawa is also the commander of the First Division, in addition to being the commander-in-chief of the front enemy, he is also the commander of the First Division. In his opinion, the foundation laid by the First Division must not be allowed to be picked by others.
Yanagawa Hei helped to the wing and said passionately: "The Sun God is watching our First Division in Tokyo, waiting for the news that our First Division will be the first to enter the city. Let us take out the courage of the First Division to let everything that dares to stop us break."
The First Division, which had been unfavorable for two consecutive attacks, was as if it was injected with chicken blood when he heard this, shouting in a heart-wrenching voice: "The Emperor's Holy Life is Borderless."
This time, not only were the brigades with complete structures involved in the attack, but everyone volunteered to climb to Chengde's city walls even when they climbed. Seeing that the morale of the First Division was mobilized, Heijo Yanagawa was in a good mood.
The Japanese who appeared in front of Tang Ying's troops in the 136th Division of the Sichuan Army were also surprised by the Sichuan soldiers. The troops were covered with bandages, and the wounded soldiers were supporting the wounded soldiers, while the slightly injured carried the stretcher.
"Oh my god, this is a zombie." A soldier from the 136th Division who joined the army in Rehe was shocked.
A Sichuan veteran said, "The zombies are so rude. I heard that there is a mummy in foreign countries wrapped in bandages before his death. I don't know if it is."
**Security, no matter whether you are a mummy or a zombie priest, the temperature of the cannon barrel has also dropped, and a mortar shell will hit the head and face it. If the Japanese are quite similar to the zombie, there is no need to say that the dead are alive, and those who are alive stand up after the shelling, continue to move forward with a rifle or with a rifle. Even if they can't stand up in one breath, they will crawl forward. However, the **Security is not stingy with the shells, and continues to fire the artillery to knock out the attacking mummy troops.
"Muwaizi, you have to take it seriously." Wang Mingzhang saw that the trick of using the wounded to consume shells was a prelude to the Japanese general attack. After turning two rounds in place, he chose to trust Tang Ying and ordered the following: "To adjust two base machine gun bullets for the front troops, Wang Mingzhang said, "Don't let the machine gun be released and fired for me."
The light and heavy machine guns produced by Nanyang military industry are very popular here. Needless to say, Maxim is the water-cooled Maxim. This guy can keep firing within dozens of minutes after filling up water at a time. Especially when the Czech light machine gun is red and there is no time to change the barrel, he can immediately continue to use it with cold water.
The warehouses in Chengde City stockpiled a large amount of bullets and military dry food. Almost every week, Peiping received the latest news from the three northeastern provinces and wanted to send supplies to the Chengde front line. At first, Wang Mingzhang thought that he had made more than 200 million aircraft rifle bullets were almost the sum of the entire Sichuan arsenal. After fighting for a long time, he realized that the amount of ammunition was not enough to stockpile before the war. In order to kill the Japanese, this light and heavy machine gun played a big role, but the bullets also made Wang Mingzhang frightened. He fought for two battles in half a day and nearly 10 million bullets were knocked out. If it were the Sichuan Army, the former commander-in-chief of the civil war, was qualified to be shot.
The bullet shell tyrants in the front line of trenches cleaned up twice, otherwise the soldiers would have lost their footsteps now.
When the Japanese braved the artillery fire, climbed or rushed to a distance of 1,36th Division, the heavy machine guns equipped with the 1,36th Division also opened fire. Tang Ying had already seen it later. The Japanese guns were fired very accurately, but the distance did not reach the maximum range of the heavy machine gun. The light and heavy machine guns would suffer a loss when they fired together.
The Japanese Type 92 heavy machine gun also has an effective range at this distance. After the Type 92 heavy machine gun was in place, it launched an attack with the Maxim heavy machine gun on the front line. There were 7.7 heavy machine gun bullets hitting the baffle and making a sound, but the machine gunner behind became accustomed to it after several times. If the bullet hit the aiming port in the center of the baffle, the machine gunner behind would undoubtedly die, otherwise there would be nothing.
The substitute machine gunner was waiting behind. The machine gunner in front fell down. He immediately replaced a heavy machine gun and stopped for a few seconds before firing again. He used the flames of a hundred heavy machine guns to cooperate with the artillery to force the Japanese offensive troops to the distance and it was difficult to advance. A distance of more than a thousand meters, even if it took four or five minutes to run in a straight line (you can't run empty-handed). Besides, who dared to run in a straight line during the attack? That was a search for death. The Japanese organized several charges, but were finally pressed on the ground by the machine gun fire.
Wang Mingzhang saw it later and praised, "I thought Tang Ying and the Petty Monkey (Tang Shizun) were a family, but I didn't expect that after seeing it, Old Tang still had two brushes in the war. Let the transportation company send thirty heavy machine guns."
