my bright sword career

Chapter 295

Seeing Brigadier Chen's sincere and sincere expression, Gao Hongming was quite moved, but he thought for a while and shook his head: "Mr. Chen, I appreciate your kindness, but this time the Japanese army is coming fiercely, and the troops in your hands are too strong." I'm not rich, and I'm sure I'll be short-changed in a real fight... You heard that I'm done..."

Seeing that Brigadier Chen still wanted to speak, Gao Hongming continued: "Besides, in my opinion, it is the third army that needs more attention. Although the third army has the largest number of people, but their equipment is too poor, and these days just After going through a big battle, there must be a lot of casualties, and the morale is not very good, so we need more support, do you think this is the reason?"

Brigadier Chen thought for a while, then nodded slowly: "I can't say no to you, since you don't want to, it's okay, but what you said is not unreasonable. The third army's sudden defeat must have low morale, but Guojialing's terrain is dangerous, and the Japanese army No matter how powerful it is, it will not be possible to take it overnight, and it will not be too late for us to go to support it."

"That's the reason." Li Yunlong also said, "No matter what, the Third Army still has about 2 people. It shouldn't be a problem no matter how long it lasts for ten days and half a month."

"I hope so." Although he was still worried, Gao Hongming couldn't say anything more.

He immediately smiled and said, "Brigade Commander Chen, Lao Li, and Commander Ding, how about you...do you need any help?"

Brigadier Chen, Li Yunlong and the others looked at each other and said nothing, but Li Yunlong laughed: "Brother Gao, our 386 brigade is no longer what it used to be, and the two regiments of Lao Ding and I have almost all achieved Japanese equipment.

Although it can't be compared with you, a local rich man, but the firepower is not much worse than that of a team of little devils, so I don't need it for the time being.But I'm not afraid of other things, except that the little devil's plane is very annoying. If possible, you can let your plane support us a little bit, that would be even better. "

"There is no problem with this." Gao Hongming readily agreed, "However, I have just got a group of pilots from the Central Army in the past two days, and I am busy getting familiar with the new aircraft these two days, so I am afraid I need a few more air support. sky.

But... air support is not yet available, but artillery support can still be done.Later, I will ask the communication company to set up a few telephone lines for you and the third army, and we will just call when the time comes. "

"Great!"

Li Yunlong slapped his thigh, "As long as there is sufficient artillery support, I am not afraid of how many little devils will come. This time, I want to let the little devils know that our Eighth Route Army is not easy to mess with."

"Haha... I feel relieved with your words."

Beiping North China Front Army Command
"What did you say...Gao Hongming didn't leave, but built fortifications on the spot to fight the imperial army?" Okamura Neiji looked at Miyamoto Ichiro in front of him, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Yes, according to aerial reconnaissance, Gao Hongming and his troops have already started to build fortifications in a place called Yangping Town. Not only that, but two troops on both sides of Gao Hongming are also building fortifications. According to front-line reports, These two units are the Third Army of the Yunnan Army and the Eighth Route Army, but it is not yet known which units they are.”

"Yo Xi!"

Ningji Gangmura sneered.

"It seems that Gao Hongming's victories over the past year have made him swell up. He dared to play tricks with the imperial army, but he forgot what the virtues of the central army are."

As a Huaxia expert, Gangcun Ningci entered China as early as 1917. In 1925, he served as a military adviser to Sun Chuanfang's army and participated in the melee of warlords.

During these years in China, Gangcun Ningci deeply understood how corrupt and fragile this former big empire has become now. The warlords fought in chaos and the people were struggling to survive. The huge country did not have a strong central government to rule, which also led to The various warlords were suspicious of each other and fought against each other.

Especially after Generalissimo Chiang came to power, he spared no effort to rectify the miscellaneous army.

But when he heard that Gao Hongming and the other two troops started to build fortifications, he immediately realized that his opportunity had come.

"Immediately send a report to the 37th Division and the Mixed Fourth Brigade, and ask them to rush to Yangping Town as quickly as possible. Gao Hongming must be held back by me, and then the 33rd, 36th, and 9th Brigades are also ordered to rush to Yangping town.

The Third Flying Group wants to hit all its forces and bomb it, and Gao Hongming must be wiped out in Zhongtiao Mountain! "

"Hi!"

…………

"boom……"

A 75mm artillery shell fell on the position of the 35th Regiment of the [-]th Division of the Third Army, blasting a hole in the position that had been dug not long ago. The powerful shock wave even pushed Niu Ben, the head of the regiment who was observing the enemy's situation more than ten meters away, to the ground. .

"Tuan Zuo...Tuan Zuo, are you okay?" The guard on the side quickly helped Niu Ben up.

"It's okay...cough cough cough..."

Niu Ben pushed away the guard and struggled to get up, and then he was choked by the gunpowder smoke and coughed several times in a row.

After he got up, he didn't have time to check whether he was injured, but wiped the binoculars hanging on his chest with his clothes a few times, and then quickly observed the movement ahead.

It didn't matter, and he couldn't help cursing: "His grandma, these little devils are crazy. They invested so many troops at once, don't you want to pass it?"

At this moment, what appeared in front of his eyes was a large Japanese army in the form of skirmishers, and there were people in tea-green clothes everywhere. He roughly estimated that there was at least one brigade in size.

The Japanese attack was divided into four waves, and each wave was a squadron.Between each wave, two heavy machine gun teams suppressed them with firepower. In addition, not far away, there were two Taisho 11th-year 37mm flat-fire guns targeting the exposed machine gun fire points of the 35th regiment.

Although in later generations the Japanese army is often ridiculed for its rigid tactics, most of the light weapons it equips are very strange, such as the 11-year machine gun that needs to be fired while refueling, the 63-type heavy machine gun that weighs [-] kilograms, and it is difficult to even commit suicide. The southern pistols and so on, so that they were beaten by the US army and couldn't find the north.

But it depends on who it is compared with. Compared with military powers such as Britain, the United States, Germany or the Soviet Union, Japan can only be regarded as a younger brother, but if it is compared with China, which has been weak for hundreds of years, the situation will be reversed.

What's more, although the Japanese army fought in a strict manner and strictly followed the military code of conduct, this also made the Japanese army extremely disciplined in combat, and rarely made major mistakes.

Take the current offensive as an example, the Japanese army's very typical wave-like attack overwhelmed the 35 regiments, especially the Taisho 600-year-style 11mm flat-fire gun hiding 37 meters away was like a poisonous snake.

Once the firepower of the machine gun dares to show itself, they will blow up the exposed firepower in a short time like a poisonous snake, so the national army has another name for this kind of artillery... Kakong gun
In another time and space, the 1937th Division also participated in the Songhu Battle in 14, and Guo Rugui acted as the commander of the 42nd Brigade of the division at that time.According to Guo Rugui's recollection, there were 36 heavy machine guns in the whole brigade at that time, all of which were damaged by the Japanese army, and only 4 of them were finally assembled from parts.

Guo Rugui said this in his memoirs: When the enemy charges, we use light and heavy machine guns to fight fiercely, and the enemy's 37 flat-fire guns are specially designed to deal with machine guns, and they can aim quickly. With one sound, the machine gun was finished, and the soldiers called it the "kakong gun".

During the entire period of the Anti-Japanese War, the soldiers of the national army hated and feared this kind of artillery. The reason is that the firing range of this kind of artillery is very low, and the height is almost the same as that of a person lying on the ground, so it is difficult to detect.

Compared with the grenadier equipped by the Japanese army, this flat-fire gun has a longer range and better ballistic performance, and can conduct more accurate point-out operations.Therefore, this artillery is also known as the machine gun buster.

Of course, during the Pacific War, this tactic was useless after facing the rich and inhumane American soldiers.

In the face of the American soldiers equipped with mortars in the combo unit, whenever the Japanese artillery dared to show their heads, they would immediately attract bombardment like raindrops. Facing this kind of fighting style that did not speak martial arts, the Japanese army could only have one division. The jade fragments of a regiment.

So in the final analysis, China's foundation is too thin.
