Chapter 291 Wanping Artillery Battle!

In the office on the second floor, Yu Hua took a pen and wrote a letter, detailing the importance of the introduction to military and civilian guidance and German-made mechanical processing equipment.

Not long after, the National Tsinghua University issued a notice on the extension of the exam for public-funded students studying in the United States.

Undoubtedly, after the urgent notice of the postponement of the exams for public-funded students studying in the United States was issued, as the first university to receive the news, there was an uproar in Tsinghua University. , but why the extension decision was suddenly issued.

You must know that in the entire history of the exams for public-funded students studying in the United States, except for the influence of the Central Plains War, there has been basically no extension.

The school's decision to postpone the public-funded students' exam is undoubtedly a signal to the outside world-war may be coming.

But it is precisely because of this signal that the student group is extremely puzzled. Now the Japanese are not ready to expand the situation. The Japanese army in the Fengtai area seems to have returned to a normal state. Where is there any sign of war?

And when a group of Tsinghua students were puzzled about it, the deafening cannons sounded like thunder, sweeping the entire Beiping city in an instant!

The sound of the gunfire came from the southwest, and it was far greater in caliber and power than before.

"It should be a 105mm howitzer, the Japanese have started." Yu Hua, who had finished writing the letter and got everything done, went downstairs to the west gate of the school. On the way, he heard the sound of violent artillery from the southwest, and immediately realized what happened. He frowned and muttered softly to himself.

it has started!

After the last round of preparations, the Japanese finally showed its sharp fangs.

The 29th Army wasted an extremely precious opportunity to take the initiative to attack, and failed to seize this opportunity to wipe out the Chinese Garrison Riverside Brigade and its surrounding forces in one fell swoop, allowing the opponent to increase its troops substantially by delaying its troops.

Now, the Japanese fire again after four days, which means that the other side is ready for war.

His movements quickened, and the German-made machining equipment had to be shipped out before Pingjin fell.

Thinking of this, Yu Hua quickly walked towards the school gate.

……

The Riverside Brigade used 105mm field cannons to attack Wanping City and surrounding defenders, announcing the official start of the Beiping battle. The infantry units cooperated with tanks to launch a fierce attack on Wanping City and Nanyuan Airport.

Wanping City controls the Pinghan railway line, and Nanyuan Airport controls the air dominance of Beiping.

At the same time, the attack of the Riverside Brigade caused a domino reaction. The Japanese troops in Babaoshan, Changxindian, Langfang, Tongxian and other surrounding areas of Beiping launched attacks on the defenders of the 29th Army. The No.18 Regiment deployed near Juyongguan, Beiping And the third cavalry regiment, went south and went straight to Marco Polo Bridge.

Not only Peiping, but the Japanese army also started a war in Tianjin. Tanggu, Beiyubao and Beichen were all severely attacked. The Sixth Regiment located in the Tangjin area took the train and stabbed the heart of Tianjin like a sharp knife - Tianjin Train Station, control of Tianjin Railway Station, it means control of Tianjin City.

This move, and strive to win the two northern towns.

The just-signed peace agreement and the non-expansion of the situation are like a joke, hitting a lot of people in the face.

War is coming.

There is only half a month left before the fall of Peiping and Tianjin.

Of course, in the early stages of the Pingjin battle, the Japanese army did not actually take advantage of it, but suffered repeated setbacks and suffered losses everywhere.

"Boom boom boom!" One after another 105mm grenades fell like raindrops, and a thunderous explosion resounded all around. Shocking craters appeared in the front positions of the defenders of Wanping City. The scorched earth with the smell of sulphur, this is the battlefield, bloody and terrible.

The troops stationed in Wanping City were still the Jixing Cultural Corps. Before the Jixing Cultural Corps was transferred out on the bright side, they had been staying in Wanping City secretly to guard against the Japanese army.

After the bombardment, two Type 6.5 ultra-light tanks equipped with 120mm light machine guns appeared, followed by a group of Japanese infantrymen belonging to the third squadron, about [-] people, through extremely skilled infantry and tank coordination tactics, to the front of Wanping City Rapid movement of positions.

Brilliant, old-fashioned.

The riverside brigade troops, who often carry out infantry-tank coordinated tactical training, have extremely rich combat experience, and know how to cooperate efficiently between infantry and tanks.

"Commander, as you expected, the Japanese army dispatched two tanks." The 219 regiment's forward position observed the command post. Li Hong, the adjutant lying in the trench with binoculars in both hands, found two 94 ultra-light tanks and Japanese infantry The formed offensive force immediately reported to Ji Xingwen behind him.

"According to the plan." Ji Xingwen heard the words, quickly came to the trench, raised the binoculars to check the battlefield situation, looked at two tanks of unfamiliar models, narrowed his eyes, and issued an order.

For the Japanese army to dispatch tanks, he had long expected.

During the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War, Ji Xingwen had seen the power of Japanese tanks. This offensive weapon that could withstand heavy machine gun bullets was a great threat to the defender. One of the important factors for the failure of the Great Wall in the Anti-Japanese War was the Japanese tanks.

However, tanks are not invincible!

Without infantry to escort the tanks and provide the necessary protection and guidance information, the threat of Japanese tanks would rapidly decrease.

"Yes!" Li Hong, the adjutant, raised his hand in salute and quickly conveyed the order.

The defense area of ​​Wanping City is composed of Lugou Bridge, West Gate, South Gate and North Gate. There is a 500-meter flat area between Lugou Bridge and the west gate of Wanping City. There is no bunker. The bridge deck has been abandoned by the 219th regiment. Clearances of up to 500 meters must be crossed.

The Japanese offensive force was commanded by Setro Shimizu. Soon, when two 94 tanks and the third squadron crossed the Marco Polo Bridge and entered the open area about 100 meters away, there was a sudden sound of sharp and piercing shells in the sky.

The firepower from the 82mm mortar platoon directly under the regiment appeared on the battlefield at the fastest speed.

Although the power of the 82mm mortar is far less than that of the 105mm grenade, it is worse than the high density of firepower projection.

A whole four mortars, no joke.

One after another, the 82mm artillery shells pierced the sky, pulled out a perfect high-throwing trajectory, and then dived at a near vertical speed at a high speed, all falling on the rear sector of the two 94 tanks.

Attack the infantry!

In an instant, the 82mm artillery shell hit the ground and exploded, releasing shock waves and hundreds of irregular metal shrapnel, flying around at high speed. More than [-] Japanese infantrymen in the open space were severely hit.

The power of these shrapnel is no worse than that of bullets. No matter how high the tactical quality and combat effectiveness of the Japanese soldiers of the Rao River Brigade, it is impossible to resist steel cannonballs.

death!

Death is everywhere!

"Boom!" An 82mm artillery shell fell directly one meter away from the right side of the first 94 tank. The strong explosion hit the vehicle body instantly. The two Japanese tank members were instantly dizzy and almost lost consciousness. Two Japanese soldiers behind the hull were killed on the spot.

The ultra-light weight and armor thickness of about 10 mm only give the Type 94 tank the ability to withstand light and heavy machine guns and rifle bullets, like 82mm mortar shells, if the shells directly hit the hull...

Not to mention falling apart on the spot, at least it will cause serious damage to the car body.

It is a pity that mortars hitting tanks only exist in theory, and it is all accidental to find such situations in reality.

A round of fire from the 219th regiment ended. The first batch of Japanese offensive troops suffered heavy casualties. More than ten people were killed on the spot, and more than 94 people were attacked by shrapnel. Feeling the deadly threat, the speed of the two [-] tanks suddenly slowed down.

Offensive momentum is setback!

However, this was not over yet. Just before the third squadron could react, two Czech light machine guns appeared at the far left and the far right of the west gate of Wanping City. The machine gunners aimed at the infantry troops behind the Japanese tanks and pulled Trigger, crazy strafing.

One left and one right, forming a crossfire.

In just a few seconds, the two Czech light machine guns fired all the bullets, and dozens of 7.92mm bullets formed a firepower network. The Japanese infantry in the rear sector of the tank had no time to react, and five or six people fell one after another.

After the shooting, the machine gunners and sub-machine gunners did not stay in place to change bullets, but quickly evacuated the position of the machine guns to avoid being killed by the Japanese grenade grenade and Type [-] infantry artillery.

The whole process was done in one go, quick and fast, and many veterans of the [-]rd Squadron who specialized in holding grenade launchers couldn't react at all.

On the Ximen position, it fell into silence again. The soldiers of the 219th regiment did not fire blindly, exposing the firepower of the machine guns.

In the face of such a situation, Shimizu Jirou was a little wrong and had to order a suspension of the attack.

"Baga, damn Ji Xingwen! Order the 219nd squadron to quickly support Shimizu Jirou, and the artillery firepower to suppress the [-]th regiment." Seeing this scene, Izuki's eyelids jumped wildly, and the anger in his heart couldn't be further increased. The desire to attack, gritted his teeth and issued a support order.

It's not that Kiyoda Izuki likes to use the oil-filling tactics, one squadron to attack, but he has suffered a loss. In the battle against Wanping not long ago, he issued an order for a full-scale attack. However, waiting for the third brigade to attack. Not victory, but 150mm mortar rounds!

Yes, 150mm heavy mortar.

The infantry units in the plain area were hit by 150mm heavy mortars. The final result is self-evident. It is precisely because of this order that the third brigade suffered heavy losses and had to temporarily stop the attack.

Izuki Kiyoshi has been bitten by a snake once, and has been afraid of the rope for ten years. Until the last resort, he will never dare to issue an order for a full-scale attack.

I have to say that the 219 regiment and Ji Xingwen stationed in Wanping City in front of them are definitely an extremely hard bone!
He had never met such a cunning Chinese soldier.

With the new order issued, more than 120 members of the Second Squadron, who were not fully prepared, immediately rushed out of the position to support Shimizu Seirou's attacking troops as quickly as possible. At the same time, two [-]-type infantry artillery provided fire support to suppress Ximen. position.

The Second Squadron quickly passed the Lugou Bridge. With the addition of fresh troops, the Shimizu Jirou troops who suffered heavy losses were relieved.

Two Japanese veterans knocked on the car body with steel rods and conveyed the attack order to the tank crew. The Japanese attacking troops took advantage of the time when the artillery fire was suppressed, and marched again.

"Refueling tactics? Wait until I blow up your tank and see how you refuel." In Wanping City, Ji Xingwen, holding a telescope, stayed at a relatively concealed forward observation post, watching the situation on the battlefield and whispering to himself.

Others may not have experience in fighting devils, but he has too much experience in fighting devils. From the Great Wall War of Resistance to the present, he has fought more than ten times during the battle, and he has basically figured out the offensive tactics of this group of small Japanese.

Also, he's not afraid of these bastards!
The firepower of the Type [-] infantry artillery continued to be suppressed, and the shells fell into the position, but the front position of Wanping City was still quiet, as if it was unguarded.

The atmosphere seemed a little weird. Many Cao leaders and veterans of the Japanese offensive troops had serious expressions. They had encountered many Chinese troops and participated in several battles, but never once was like the present.

In the past, the Chinese army lacked weapons and equipment, and had no tactics to speak of. Many times, it would expose the firepower of its machine guns, knock out these firepower points through grenade launchers and infantry artillery, and take the opponent's position with a single charge, and then start the massacre.

But now...

too weird.

"Shimizu-kun, be careful, our enemy seems to have some kind of conspiracy." Taro Yanagawa, the second squadron leader who stayed at the tail of the first 94 tank, held the Nanfang 219-style pistol tightly in his right hand, and used the tank body as a cover to observe the position of the [-] regiment , Frowning tightly, he said to Jieshui Qinglang, the leader of the third squadron with an injured arm.

"Yes, I'm worried that the other party may use a 150mm heavy mortar." Shimizu Jirou was bruised by a bullet on his right arm, and a wound of several centimeters was rubbed.

"You are right, order the tanks to speed up, we must cross this plain area as soon as possible." Yanagawa Taro's expression changed slightly, and the sound of the former second squadron leader's tragic death sounded, nodded, and was about to give an order when suddenly The ground below is very strange.

The soil here is new, as if it had been touched.

Wait, was someone moved?
Yanagawa Taro's expression changed: "Shimizu-kun, run quickly..."

"Boom!" At this moment, the twenty kilograms of explosives buried in the ground below received an electrical signal, and the electric detonator was energized and activated, causing an explosion to complete the mission.

Immediately afterwards, a deafening explosion sounded suddenly, and the entire 94 kilograms of explosives exploded with all the energy in an instant, releasing shock waves and flames containing high energy, which spread to the surroundings at a speed of several kilometers per second, and were in a positive state. The two [-] tanks above, as well as the Japanese infantry group following the tanks, were instantly shrouded in explosion shock waves and smoke, and suffered a devastating blow.

This is, the crow is flying!

"Ji Xingwen!!!" Yimu Qingzhi, who was in the rear position, heard this movement, and was instantly startled. He quickly raised his binoculars and looked at the attacking troops in front of the Ximen position. His eyes were blood red, and he couldn't help expressing anger. the sound of.

Despicable, cunning, shameless, Kiyosaka Izuki rummaged through all the words that could swear in an instant.

"Om!" When Ichiki was angry, black dots moving at a high speed appeared in the sky again. Mortar shells with a diameter of 82 mm cut through the sky and landed extremely accurately in the area where the Japanese attacking troops were located to carry out firepower. cover.

Immediately afterwards, two Czech light machine guns appeared on the left side of the Ximen position, and two on the right side, scoring twice again to stage a cross-fire sector, shooting at the still-undissipated explosion smoke.

Don't seek precision, just fast.

The crow is flying + fire coverage + machine gun finishing, this is a set of combined punches.

Ji Xingwen's combination of punches directly killed the third team half-life.

"The [-]rd squadron failed to attack, please request tactical support." Ichiki closed his eyes with resentment, he understood that the [-]rd squadron and the [-]nd squadron were basically finished, and the soldiers who could be withdrawn were few and far between. No longer capable of attack, must call for support.

Soon, the riverside brigade increased its troops to Lugou Bridge, and the 105mm field cannon group was aimed at the Ximen position to start a new round of shelling. For the Japanese army, Lugou Bridge was inevitable, and there must be no mistakes.

The battle at Lugou Bridge has entered a white-hot state.

……

In Ping'an, Xuanji Hall.

Affected by the new round of battle at Lugou Bridge, there were very few pedestrians on the streets, and people in Peiping City were panicking. Many people seemed to have understood that the Japanese army was not engaging in friction this time, but was coming for real.

"The battle is getting more and more intense." Yu Hua stood in front of the Xuanji Hall, listening to the high-frequency artillery fire one after another from the southwest, and felt the difference.

The frequency of artillery fire on both sides increased significantly, except for 105mm howitzers, 75mm mountain guns, and 150mm mortars.

It's a gun battle.

Hope the Wanping City defenders can hold on. ——Yu Hua thought silently in his heart, shook his head gently, stopped thinking about this matter, and stepped into the Xuanji Hall.

The faint scent of medicine came, and there were no guests inside. Tan Lao was reading the newspaper, and Xu Xue saw no one.

"Kid Yu Hua, why are you back, sick?" Tan Huairen, who was looking at the bag, noticed someone at the door, looked up, and suddenly saw this familiar face, slightly surprised.

"Hello, Mr. Tan, I'm not sick. When I come back this time, I have something to discuss with you, about Xiaoxue." Yu Hua couldn't help laughing and laughing, and immediately bowed to Tan Huairen.

When Yu Hua's voice fell, Tan Lao suddenly stood up, his face was serious, and his eyes stared at Yu Hua: "Kid Yu Hua, don't move, let me take a closer look."

"What?" Yu Hua was stunned for a moment, but he didn't move.

Tan Huairen looked around Yu Hua, then grabbed Yu Hua's right hand to feel the pulse, his expression became more serious, and it was only after half a minute or so that he let go.

"Junior didn't sleep last night. I only slept for a while at four o'clock last night. Maybe it's a little bad." Seeing Tan Huairen's reaction, Yu Hua naturally spoke about the current situation.

Tan Huairen frowned and waved his hand: "It's not the reason, it's strange...why does this happen."

"Old Tan, what happened to me?" Yu Hua asked respectfully. It was about his health, so he didn't dare to be careless.

"Your energy and blood are running low. If this goes on for a long time, you may not live to be 60 years old, but the strange thing is that the lack of energy and blood should not appear in young people like you. The second is that you do not have the performance of energy and blood deficiency. No night sweats, listlessness and fatigue?" Tan Lao said seriously.

Yu Hua frowned slightly and responded, "No."

"Strange... It's really strange, it's as if there is something unknown that is draining your blood." Tan Lao fell into deep thought, and he was puzzled by the situation of Yu Hua. He was not sick, but he was inexplicably angry. Blood is empty.

Something unknown is draining my blood?

Yu Hua only felt a buzzing sound in his head, and he reacted instantly, focusing on the golden mathematical symbols, thinking computers, and thinking-like physical systems in his mind.

Could it be... are they?

"Boy Yu Hua, it's been a while since your qi and blood have been depleted. I'll give you a prescription first, and you can take supplements according to this recipe. From now on, you should eat as many supplements as possible to make up for qi and blood, and usually eat more meat. , if you can eat meat every day, that would be the best." Tan Huairen shook his head gently, unable to think of the reason why Yu Hua's qi and blood were depleted for a while, and after thinking about it, he had to seek a cure first - replenishing qi and blood.

"Junior remembers it." Yu Hua heard the words and knew the seriousness of the matter. He believed in the medical skills of Mr. Tan. This top-level old Chinese medicine doctor during the Republic of China was definitely not joking. He took a deep breath and answered in a straight voice.

Tan Huairen turned around and returned to the clinic, picked up a pen and wrote a prescription, and handed it to Yu Hua: "Make it up for a while, and then look at it in three months."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and went to the medicine cabinet to get medicine.

There are many supplements in this recipe, such as wild ginseng, velvet antler, ganoderma lucidum and other precious medicinal materials that people are familiar with, which are very nourishing at a glance.

"Qi and blood is empty..." Taking advantage of the gap between Mr. Tan's medicine, Yu Hua took the recipe and thought about the problem that suddenly appeared today.
