Bright sword, I have a red police base car

"Commander, what should we do?"

"What should we do? Prepare for defense!"

"Hai!"

At this time, Yoshimura Nenghuo, commander of the Sixth Army of the Kwantung Army, was very depressed. Originally, the Japanese troops in Peiping had outer defense positions, but the Sixth Army of the Japanese Army had always handed over these outer positions to local garrison forces for defense.

During the Eighth Route Army's night raid, Xiao Gui did not leave the city to provide support because he was worried that it was a trap set by the Ping'an County Security Corps to lure the enemy.

By the next day, the Red Alert troops had occupied the defensive positions outside Peking, making it basically impossible for the Japanese to leave the city.

However, since the Japanese army deployed a large number of 25mm and 88mm anti-aircraft guns on the walls of Peiping, the Red Alert troops did not dare to approach the walls of Peiping easily and could only place the troops outside the range of the Japanese anti-aircraft guns.

After the Japanese anti-aircraft guns were lowered, they looked down on the Red Alert troops from the city walls. If they attacked rashly, the number of Red Alert soldiers killed and wounded would be ridiculously high.

At this time, Liu Huaqiang, director of the Political Department of the Red Alert Force, who was responsible for commanding the front-line troops in Peiping, also arrived at the front line by helicopter to take over the command of the three battalions in the Peiping direction.

To attack the city of Peking, which includes an army, the three battalions under Liu Huaqiang's command are still insufficient in terms of manpower.

However, after learning about the current situation in Peking, two newly formed battalions of the five battalions being deployed in Shanxi are already rushing to the Peking area, and a heavy artillery battalion of the heavy artillery cluster is also providing support here from the direction of Jingxing County.

At the same time, Yoshimura Noriyuki was waiting for a response from the air force at Nanyuan Airport.

It was now very clear that Yoshimura was able to survive. With the continued reinforcement of the Ping'an County Security Corps, it was impossible for their Sixth Army to escape alive.

But he had finally become a lieutenant general and was promoted to army commander, so it was impossible for him to just accept his fate.

So after recalling the troop organization in Peiping, the first thing he thought of was whether he could evacuate Peiping by transport plane, but the air defense force of the Ping'an County Security Corps made him dare not take the risk so easily.

Yoshimura then ordered a group of fighter planes to cross the river for his retreat.

"Commander, the air defense forces of the Ping'an County Security Corps will be able to detect our fighter planes as soon as they take off. If you let the fighter planes take off now, Nanyuan Airport will definitely be attacked by the Ping'an County Security Corps!"

"Then we will send two fighters each time, a total of eight fighters, to break out from four directions. I don't believe that the Ping'an County Security Corps can stop all our planes!"

At the same time, the Red Alert was also making further deployments for the troops' attack.

In order to destroy the Japanese anti-aircraft artillery units deployed on the city walls, the Red Alert soldiers deployed the firepower companies of each battalion on the front line, and used the range advantage of the 122mm howitzers to knock out the Japanese anti-aircraft artillery units outside the Japanese's attack range.

"Director, Synthesis 122 and Quick Reaction have truck guns, but our airborne support brigade has no heavy firepower! What should we do?!"

After remembering that the airborne troops didn't have large-caliber artillery, Liu Huaqiang slapped his forehead and said, "Fuck, I almost forgot. I'll go to Zhao Han and get a cannon company to clean up the Japanese in your direction!"

In normal combat, the attacking forces must be divided into main attack forces and feint attack forces. However, now the Japanese have deployed long-range automatic artillery on the city wall and used the artillery to control an area nearly 5 kilometers outside the city wall.

In this situation, the Red Alert Force could no longer distinguish between the main attack and the feint attack. They could only talk about other things after eliminating the heavy firepower of the Japanese.

Otherwise, if the anti-aircraft guns were placed flat on the ground and attacked from a high position, the Red Alert force would suffer heavy casualties even if it was a feint attack.

At this moment, Liu Huaqiang's command center received a piece of intelligence.

"Director, the air defense force reports that the Japanese army has taken off a group of two Zero fighters at the Nanyuan Airport in Beiping and is flying towards our unit. The air defense company of the 4th Combined Battalion requests instructions on whether to shoot them down!"

"Shoot it down immediately!"

"Yes!"

Liu Huaqiang's Red Alert Force responded quickly, but the Japanese air force was still too close to the Red Alert Force's defense line.

During the time it took for the air defense forces to consult their superiors and receive their replies, the Japanese Zero fighters had already flown into the range where anti-aircraft guns were prohibited from firing.

Usually, large-caliber anti-aircraft guns have self-destructing fuses that are triggered after the shells fly out of the effective range. However, small-caliber anti-aircraft guns with a caliber below 30 mm do not have this function. Shells that miss the target can only explode after they hit the ground.

The battalion-level anti-aircraft guns of the Red Alert Force and the combined battalion are mainly 23mm caliber, with only a small number of double 37mm anti-aircraft guns.

If the two 23mm anti-aircraft guns opened fire, the landing shells would directly fall into the friendly camp and cause accidental injuries, while the small number of 37mm guns could not form an effective anti-aircraft firepower network at all.

However, the Red Alert Force is still confident that it can intercept these Japanese devils.

"Go up to Red Tassel Five!"

Under the order of the commander of the air defense company, four soldiers took four Hongying-5 portable air defense missiles from the ammunition truck, and then divided into two launching positions to fire at the two Japanese Zero fighters.

The Japanese Zero fighter had no armor, and there was no material to effectively block the heat generated by its engine. Even without the tail flame of the jet engine, the engine and the exhaust gas formed an effective infrared signal source in the missile sighting system.

"Position number one, position number two, one salvo!"

“Drip, drip, drip~”

As the guidance equipment completed the target lock and the buzzer sounded, the two Red Alert soldiers operating the anti-aircraft missiles immediately pulled the trigger, and then the two missiles immediately took off from the ground and headed straight for the two Japanese Zero fighters.

"Didn't the Ping'an County Security Corps deploy anti-aircraft firepower?"

The two Japanese pilots who had already flown over the Red Alert troops but had not encountered any anti-aircraft artillery were very surprised at this time.

Isn't this the style of the Ping'an County Security Team?

"Report to the General, the Heian County Security Corps has not deployed anti-aircraft firepower. Airspace Anbaga?! What is this?! Matsumoto-kun, be careful behind you!"

"boom!"

With an explosion, the first individual anti-aircraft missile accurately hit the Zero fighter in front and blew it into a fireball in mid-air.

The other Zero fighter immediately turned around and looked behind him, and found that there was also a rocket with a long smoke trail behind him, flying straight towards him.

After witnessing the death of his captain, the Japanese pilot instantly broke out in a cold sweat!
Afterwards, the Japanese pilot immediately made various evasive maneuvers in an attempt to avoid the anti-aircraft missile.

But he was only operating a piston propeller plane, and before he could complete his first evasive maneuver, the Red Ying 5 exploded near the Zero fighter at a speed more than twice the speed of sound. The large amount of fragments produced by the missile explosion directly ignited the fuel in the fighter and cut off one of its wings.

Just like that, the Japanese plane was falling towards the ground in a spiral posture, emitting thick smoke.

"boom!."

At this time, Yoshimura Norihiro and the air force commander in the Nanyuan Airport Command Center looked at each other in bewilderment. They really couldn't understand why the two fighter planes that were just fine were shot down by the Ping'an County Security Corps before they could even finish their words.

Could this be another new tactic of theirs?
Yoshimura Nenghuo was now full of doubts, but he didn't know who could answer him, so he could only follow the previous plan and send fighter jets outside to test again.

As expected, the Japanese sent a total of eight fighter planes in four attacks, all of which were shot down by the Ping'an County Security Corps outside the city in a short period of time. And according to the reports of the scouts outside the city, there was no sign of the Ping'an County Security Corps firing anti-aircraft guns outside the city.

"So how did they do that?"

Although Yoshimura Nenghuo has now given up the idea of ​​escaping from Peiping by the sky, the air defense measures of the Ping'an County Security Corps still make him terrified.

Since we can't retreat from the sky, we can only seek support from ground forces.

So Yoshimura Nobukatsu immediately sent a telegram for help to the Japanese troops in Shanghai and the surrounding areas, hoping that they could come to support.

After all, Tianhuang is coming to Beiping again, right?
But not long after, Yoshimura Noriyuki received a call back from Matsui Iwane, asking them to hold on to Peking, but not a word about reinforcements.

After all, the fact that Tianhuang was going to Beiping was a false news released by them themselves after they changed the plan. However, this false news not only deceived the Ping'an County Security Corps, but also their own troops.

Matsui Iwane then sent a telegram to the 20th Army of the Kwantung Army and the 10th Army in Hebei, strictly ordering them not to be affected by other reasons and to resolutely implement the previously formulated combat plan.

When Yoshimura Nenghuo, who was at the Sixth Army Headquarters, was feeling depressed, a messenger ran in and reported: "Commander, the Tenth Army called and said that they are now making defensive deployments and have no extra troops to reinforce us."

"Commander, the 20th Army called back and ordered them to continue the battle as planned. However, as a unit of the Kwantung Army, they have already sent an infantry regiment on the way to support us!"

"Bagaya road!"

Upon hearing these two pieces of news, Yoshimura Norihito became furious!

He now knew clearly that the Sixth Army had become Matsui Iwane's abandoned pawn!
As for the regiment sent by the 20th Army?
This regiment that came to support was not even enough to fill the gaps in their teeth when facing the Ping'an County Security Corps in a field battle!

Can such a small number of troops have any effect? ​​!

While Yoshimura Noriyuki was burning with rage, the Red Alert troops surrounding the city of Peking were also shaking their heads and sighing.

In this era, the Red Alert has absolute electromagnetic control. The reason why Peking can still send telegrams under the siege of the Red Alert is because Liu Huaqiang wants the Japanese reinforcements to come.

Isn't this the best time to surround the enemy and attack the reinforcements?

This is the traditional skill of the Chinese military!
Otherwise, how could the Japanese send telegrams?

It is not easy for the Red Alert forces around Peiping to storm the Japanese Sixth Army defending the city, but it is easy and enjoyable to fight the Japanese reinforcements in the wild.

After defeating the reinforcements, the outer encirclement troops began to advance inwards, and then turned around to eliminate the Sixth Army in the city of Peking. This is the conventional tactic of the Chinese army!
But now, the Red Alert Force's idea of ​​surrounding the point and attacking the reinforcements had to be abandoned.

All of the Japanese's radio communications had long been exposed to the surveillance of the Red Alert Telecommunications Detection Unit. The Red Alert Unit was fully aware of every move of the Japanese army.

Just one regiment's reinforcements?

It’s not even enough to fill a battalion of the Red Alert!

Not to mention the Red Alert Force, even the three Eighth Route Army Corps led by Li Yunlong and others who were carrying out auxiliary operations in the rear of the army could wipe out this regiment of Japanese devils!

After making sure that they couldn't surround the enemy and attack the reinforcements, Liu Huaqiang could only sigh and say, "Well, since we can't attack the Japanese reinforcements, let's first let the artillery destroy the Japanese troops' deployment on the city wall! By the way, we can also wait for reinforcements."

After the order was given, the Red Alert troops' barreled artillery, which was being deployed at the spring position, immediately began intensive deployment work.

Meanwhile, in the Japanese Sixth Army Headquarters, Yoshimura Noriyuki finally accepted his fate and began to deploy for the next combat operation.

"Order the Anti-Aircraft Division to send a brigade and an infantry regiment to assist in the defense of the city walls. The remaining troops are prepared to fight in the streets of Beiping. The 104th Division and a brigade of the Tank Division will defend all the ancient buildings in Beiping! I don't believe that the Ping'an County Security Corps dares to open fire on these places!"

"Hai, General!"

Following Yoshimura's order, the Japanese Army's 104th Division and an armored brigade began to move into the Forbidden City and other places, intending to use China's cultural heritage as a shield.

Not only the combat troops, but Yoshimura even moved his headquarters into the Forbidden City.

When Yoshimura could survive and make this decision, it became clear that Yoshimura could not survive.

At the same time, the movements of the Japanese army in Peiping were reported to the outside world in real time by the Red Alert spies in the city.

When Liu Huaqiang learned that the Japanese were planning to use ancient buildings like the Forbidden City as a shield, Liu Huaqiang immediately reported the news to Chen Xi and Zhang Ning.

"Damn it, the Japs are so daring!"

Zhang Ning looked at Liu Huaqiang's report and wished he could drown the commander of the Japanese Sixth Army in the toilet!
Then, Zhang Ning picked up the phone at the headquarters and said to the main station, "Connect me to Bai Shulei!"

"Ling ring ring~ ring ring ring~"

Bai Shulei, who was at the equipment transformation center in the industrial zone, heard the phone ringing, and then his guard handed him the phone.

"Minister, command center is calling."

"Hello, I'm Bai Shulei."

"I'm Zhang Ning. Does your equipment department have VX now?"

"Have!"

"Send a batch to Liu Huaqiang!" (End of this chapter)
