From to 1935 2020

The grenade thrower is actually a very dangerous thing for oneself. ——It is easy to fall and kill your own people when launching, or it may explode prematurely.

Five grenades are flying in the air and spread out. This thing cannot strike accurately. To kill the enemy, it mainly depends on the number and spread coverage.

"It must be hit!"

Li Danian prayed in his heart.

This time, two of the five Sanba grenades successfully exploded at the position of the Japanese army's three-person team. While black smoke rose, there were also screams from the Japanese soldiers on the opposite side after being shot.

Made in Taiyuan is a good thing. Now that the war has just started, the Red Army has accumulated enough explosives for a long time, and the supply of grenades and shells is relatively sufficient. I don't know how long it can last, but at that time I can only return to the old road of filling my life.

"Er Gouzi, well played! I'll add a sweet potato to you tonight!"

Li Danian touched the gunner's head excitedly. As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a familiar whistling sound.

That was the Devil 50 grenadier firing again.

"boom!"

After a long time, Li Danian, who woke up, felt his head was dizzy, he felt double images when he saw everything, and his whole body was full of pain. When he opened his eyes, he was already in the field hospital behind. .

The gunner "Er Gouzi" hung his left hand on his chest and was looking at him from the sidelines.

"Where's the position? Where's the others? What time is it?"

Er Gouzi said:

"The position was lost, but it was abandoned at the end. Everyone withdrew, but there was a counterattack outside, and the armored vehicles had rushed up..."

"yes......"

Li Danian closed his eyes in a relaxed manner. He hadn't slept all day and night, and the accumulated fatigue surged again, and he fell into a deep sleep again.

More than 1000 meters away, at the position where the position was lost an hour ago, there was a lot of gunfire.

From south to north, a total of 27 T40 tanks and more than [-] armored vehicles are charging on the ten-kilometer front.

Regarding the Sixth Division's reckless frontal attack, the Red Army did not have a rigid defense. They used "elastic" defense methods.

The so-called elastic defense is to first use the trenches to start a defensive battle, and after killing the Japanese army, voluntarily abandon the line of defense.When the Japanese occupied the line of defense, they immediately covered the old line of defense with firepower. At the same time, the strategic reserve team launched a tactical counterattack, using the T[-] tank chariot as the arrow to drive the Japanese army back.

In the operation last night, hundreds of T27 tanks participated in the battle. After these tanks finished the "cutting battle" in the morning, all the remaining tanks were pulled directly to the Eastern Front battlefield in the first place - the biggest problem of T[-] tanks , that is, the armor is too thin, and it is very dangerous to attack the enemy's prepared defensive positions alone.During the battle to encircle and annihilate the Sakagaki Division, it was only used as an assistant to follow T[-] and T[-] to perform the task of "mobile armored machine gunner".

After finishing the cutting task, these tanks were directly transferred to the Eastern Front. In the evening of the same day, the Japanese army occupied the second line of defense, but they had an unstable foothold and launched a full-line counterattack. ——This kind of tactic is actually a time lag. It is bullying the slow movement of the [-]th anti-aircraft artillery in the hands of the Japanese army. After the infantry attacked and occupied the defensive position of the Red Army, the anti-aircraft artillery was still far behind. Tanks pose an effective threat.

- If it moves at this time and leaves the hiding place behind, it will reveal its position and encounter the coverage of long-range artillery.

When Li Danian was lying in the rear hospital, the tactical counterattack on the Eastern Front had already started across the board.In addition to the Red 1th Army and the Red 29st Army, they also included troops from the 37th Division of the [-]th Army.

At this time, the sun was setting and the sky was like blood. With the long blocking front on the Eastern Front, the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces in the counterattack were entangled with the Sixth Division, which was attacking with all its strength.There are still [-] kilometers away from the besieged troops of the Fifth Division of Sakagaki.The attacking Sixth Division also received a death order from the base camp: rescue the Fifth Division at all costs.

The Sixth Division was blocked here. Since the noon exchange of fire, the progress on the front line has been slow, and Inaba Shiro is also very anxious.At the cost of losing one and a half regiments of Japanese troops, it took half a day to advance three kilometers and break through the opponent's two lines of defense. As a result, the opponent counterattacked tactically when it was dark, and nearly a hundred tanks and armored vehicles rushed out. The frontline Japanese soldiers who had just occupied the defense line were killed to the ground, and the attack line was beaten back thousands of meters.

The Showa staff officers in the front-line headquarters were in a mess, and the Japanese troops fighting on the front line collectively called for reinforcements to the division headquarters at this time.

Reinforcements were indeed dispatched.

However, the insidious communist army and the artillery positions in the rear used the artillery battlefield interception tactics at this time to bombard the advancing Japanese troops for reinforcements-they were not shooting in a hurry, but shooting with data that had been prepared.This defensive tactic of bombardment blocking was often used by the German army in the middle and late stages of the Western Front during World War I. After the appearance of armored soldiers, it was widely used in World War II (the more famous Model and Manstein). To avoid the threat of the enemy's anti-tank artillery to the greatest extent, use tanks to mass-kill the infantry on the front line that is not stable and lack anti-tank capabilities, and at the same time use artillery to kill and injure the enemy's reinforcement reserve troops.

The opponent's flexible counterattack tactics, in fact, at around three o'clock in the afternoon, when the Sixth Division captured the first line of defense, there were signs of it: at that time they hid the tanks behind the line of defense and put them together with the reserve team, just waiting When the Japanese infantry broke through the line of defense, they rushed out to act as a mobile fortress to cover and counterattack, and then pushed the Japanese back, and then retreated to the second line of defense in an orderly manner.

In the evening, a large number of T27 tanks moved from the Western Front to the Eastern Front. This local small-scale counterattack directly evolved into a large-scale counterattack.

"Xu Zijing? How cunning!"

In the front-line headquarters, Shiro Inaba saw through the binoculars the figure of the T27 charging through the Red Army positions a few kilometers away, gritting his teeth.

In the camera, the reinforcement infantry he sent was blown to pieces by the artillery behind the Red Army, who was being taken back to the front line.

When it got dark, the news from all sides gathered that the Red Army had successfully regained the second line of defense.And Shiro Inaba received the information sent back by the reconnaissance plane after dark: two kilometers away, the opponent has dug a trench and repaired the third trench defense line, and the fourth defense line is almost completed before dark .

This piece of information reminded Shiro Inaba of the bloody trench warfare that took place in France during World War I.

He can imagine that when tomorrow dawns, there will be a fifth and sixth line of defense in front of him.

Before the war, intelligence from various quarters showed that the Red Army had accumulated more than 50 strategic reserves in Hebei.With the help of the Ping-Han and Ping-Shanghai railway networks, the Red Army fighting on the inside can easily deploy troops from the rear.In the next few days, the hundreds of thousands of Li Runshi's Red Army in the strategic reserve team will have enough lives to fill all the defense lines in the front ten kilometers.As for the fighting will of the troops, they are not comparable to the scum like the Northeast Army.

The staff officer reported:

"Your Excellency, the chariot has been repaired, and there are six available for use!"

"Six? The kind of garbage that only has machine guns is horse manure!"

When Inaba Shiro heard the "chariot", he became even more angry, and even more eager to pick up the saber, go back to Tokyo, and punish the gang of national thieves in the navy.

The military expenditure of the empire has been taken up by the navy red deer, so that the imperial army attacking North China can only use Type 94 bean tanks, which have zero anti-armor capabilities!

During this period, the main tanks of the Japanese army were Type 89, Type 92, Type 94, and Type 95.After the war in North Manchuria, facing the terrifying "seven-day nightmare" of Zhukov's armored army, the Kwantung Army's base camp desperately transferred all tanks with artillery to the North Manchurian front.What was left to the Japanese army in North China were all uniform Type 92/94 ultra-light tanks equipped with machine guns only. (Note: In fact, Japanese tanks in this period were equipped with howitzers, and their anti-tank capabilities were extremely scumbag)

Historically, the Japanese army could rely on these "toys" to bully the National Army and the Eighth Route Army, which had almost no anti-tank capabilities.But in this plane, under Stalin's "liver selling aid", the Red Army in the Pingjin area has already been able to equip each platoon with one 12.7mm anti-tank gun and 37mm light infantry guns to the company, and serve as blocking missions troops, the preparation of anti-tank weapons will be doubled.Not to mention that there are large T27 tanks of the same type on the opposite side as mobile defense missions - the T27 tanks on the opposite side have no turrets, and their performance is actually a bit worse than 92/94, but the machine guns on each tank are prepared A specially made anti-tank steel-core armor-piercing belt.It is enough to penetrate the "thin iron skin" 94 tank of the little devil.

If the infantry of the Sixth Division has an absolute advantage in quality compared to the Red Army, but the opponent's anti-tank force and equipped tanks are the best against the Sixth Division.Like the Fifth Division, the tank in his hand was the "most eye-catching" live target on the battlefield, and was easily destroyed by the anti-tank firepower on the opposite side as soon as he entered the battlefield.Fortunately, the Japanese army was on the offensive, able to control the battlefield, and had the opportunity to repair the tanks.

"The tank is useless! No, the Type 94 is useless! To deal with Lucia's tank, we need the Type [-]!"

Inaba Shiro said viciously in his heart, and then asked: "Have the national thieves of the First Division not climbed yet? The distance of ten kilometers should be reached after climbing for half a day!"

The men reported:

"It has arrived, but there are still two regiments that have been entangled by Peng Shichuan."

"what happened?"

Inaba Shiro complained that the First Division was walking slowly, but he also wronged them a bit.When the First Division marched westward, the front army turned into a rear army. As soon as the front foot left, Peng Shichuan's troops in the Tianjin area bit up like wolves hanging their tails.He was not in a hurry to block the First Division, but deliberately organized the troops into regiments.Crazy attacks and destruction aimed at the railway network along Lu'an.At the same time, a small group of infiltration troops was dispatched to continuously attack the supply lines of the Japanese army.It was so close that the First Division had to allocate part of its troops to deal with the Red Army sticking behind them like brown sugar.

Among the generals of the Red Army, Dong Zhentang is good at tough battles, while Peng Shichuan is a versatile player. He is not only good at tough battles, but also good at bad battles.Knowing that the First Division was in a hurry to advance westward, he deliberately dismantled the troops and followed behind, looking for weak spots to bite.Compared with the Japanese army, the Red Army fought at the gates of their homes. They arrived at the battlefield more than ten days earlier, and they had already spread their eyes here and had the right to control information on the battlefield.Strategically, it has a great initiative, and it has been so entangled that the first division had to leave the strength of the two regiments before it barely escaped.But in this way, the westward support troops were virtually reduced by one-third.

After hearing the report from his subordinates, Inaba Shiro's scalp tingled again, and he immediately realized the danger of Kawamura Kyousuke's actions.

The Japanese army was already short of troops in the Pingjin area, and if he continued to divide the troops so recklessly, wouldn't he be sending the troops to Peng Shichuan and Dong Zhentang?

But now even Shiro Inaba couldn't take care of those two unlucky "rear-broken teams".

The Fifth Division was at stake, and the base camp absolutely could not accept the huge loss of prestige caused by an entire division being wiped out by the Red Army.After the First Division experienced the [-] Mutiny, from the division to the soldiers, everyone was filled with a self-destructive mood of self-exposure and self-abandonment.

Because the February [-]th Incident "killed" the former emperor, the reputation and status of the First Division in Japan plummeted, and the stink was not good.The majestic imperial army of the emperor, the "pro-son" army became the bastard of the old king next door overnight (Hu Zongnan sent a congratulatory message)

In this rescue of the Fifth Division, Inaba Shiro asked the Kwantung Army camp for temporary command power under the pretext that the rescue force was leaderless. Now his identity is the commander of the North China Theater (temporary)-this official title has been in hand for less than five hours. In theory, he has the right to coordinate and command the five Japanese divisions on the Pingjin battlefield.

The Red Army's position on the opposite side was tougher than he imagined.Inaba Shiro gnawed for a long time, the Japanese troops of the two regiments were basically reimbursed, but they only advanced so far, and then thought that before dark, the Communist reinforcements who were still crossing the Pingjin Canal and entering the Tongzhou Plain, if it weren't for the strong troops from the base camp To order rescue, he had long wanted to turn his body back, and turned directly towards Tangshan.

A taboo for military strategists, refueling tactics!

Everything was caused by the red deer in the base camp!If we could follow Xiangyue Qingsi's insistence at that time, regardless of the life and death of the sinners in the first division, and drag it down until the 3rd and 23rd divisions arrived and then go south, why did it come to this...

While complaining bitterly, Inaba Shiro forgot to join forces with Kiyoshi Kozuki to force the palace, and when he was asked to go south in advance, he Inaba Shiro also participated.

After scolding the First Division as "national thieves", Inaba Shiro inquired about the movement of the Third Division, and learned that the other party had joined the forward troops of the 23rd Division and was marching southward in a hurry.

There is no direct railway connection between Tongzhou and Tangshan. If there is no interception and the march is purely on foot, the third division will not arrive until tomorrow afternoon no matter how soon.

That night, when Shiro Inaba ordered the [-]st and [-]th Divisions to rendezvous to launch night operations desperately, they also sent a telegram to the Kwantung Army headquarters. The content was roughly: If the North China Front Army cannot get more air support tomorrow, he will Under the repeated bombing of hundreds of opponent planes, the Chinese troops could not guarantee the rescue effect at all.

That night, the entire Tongzhou Plain continued to fire.

Whether it is the battlefield of encircling and suppressing the Fifth Division on the western front, or the blocking battlefield on the eastern front.The two armies fighting on the two fronts did not stop for a moment.

Everyone on both sides is fighting for time.What Shiro Inaba can do is to pray that the support of the navy red deer can be better, and another straw-the landing support from the sea can be in place soon.

Peking, Peking University campus.

On the evening of April [-], Li Runshi came to Peking University campus.

This is the place where he studied and worked when he was young. Here he met a mentor in life, met a lover who can stay together for life, and had countless good memories. But also experienced discrimination, Being owed wages, being humiliated by people pointing their noses and saying "you don't deserve my class".

20 years in Hedong, 20 years in Hexi!

When he, as the chairman of the Northern Anti-Japanese War League, returned to Peking, where he studied, explored, and struggled in his youth, the former president of Peking University whom he respected very much and who claimed to be inclusive had already left Peking University early and returned to Nanjing. He also refused to come to see him.

Probably feel ashamed.

After the Spring Festival this year, all institutions of higher learning in Pingjin and Tianjin have suspended classes.From teachers to students, they were all transferred to Xi’an and Hankou to start classes—but in fact, only about a part of the students who left Pingjin and Tianjin left, and some students stayed behind to be responsible for logistics, medical care, etc., which required a certain level of education. Work.

The Peking University campus, which was once full of students, has long been transformed into a temporary hospital.In fact, the schools in the Pingjin area have basically been transformed into hospitals.

On April [-], two thousand wounded were sent to Peking University in one day.In the entire Pingjin area, more than [-] wounded have been received, and more wounded are still being transported from the front line.

"3000 people!"

This is the number of wounded patients reported by the hospitals and temporary hospitals in Pingjin and Tianjin at this time-the number will only be underreported and not overreported.Counting those who were slightly injured and those who were too late to be sent back, the total number of wounded is estimated to be between 5000 and [-].

"As for the number of sacrificed fighters, it is estimated from the ratio that it is about six to 7000!"

When inspecting the hospital, Li Runshi frowned in pain when he heard the numbers sent by the people below.

In the case of good medical conditions, the casualty-to-death ratio is generally four to one.When medical inequality is not enough, this number will drop to three or even lower.The use of sulfonamide and penicillin saved the lives of millions of soldiers in World War II. Fortunately, the Red Army on this plane needed antibiotics the most.

On the Tongzhou Plain, both the Japanese army and the Red Army were red-eyed.In less than a day, more than 3 casualties were reported. Even Li Runshi, who had experienced the bloody battle on the Xiangjiang River, was shocked by this number.

"Is the medicine enough? Are the plasma bags enough?"

"It is enough for the time being. Gauze bandages are still sufficient, but the main shortage is medical staff."

During the war, lights were turned off at night, and here on Peking University campus is no exception.When Li Runshi came to visit the wounded soldiers of the Red Army, every classroom full of wounded soldiers was only lit with bean-sized oil lamps.

When Chairman Li Runshi looked over from room to room, he saw many young faces in each classroom—they were basically students from Peking University—these were students who had undergone short-term emergency training for one or two months, and then Just get to work.

The front line was fighting tensely. Li Runshi came over, looked at the wounded, asked about the situation on the front line and the needs of the wounded, and then left immediately.The fierce battle has just begun, and there will be more wounded in the days to come.

What comforted Chairman Li Runshi was that since he took the initiative to go to war on April [-], patriots in the Shanghai area organized a large number of medical teams to go north to support, and then continued to receive relief supplies from all walks of life.Overseas patriots also donated money and materials at this time——Chang Kaishen After the fall of the traitorous government, the Song family also became famous. ) under the vigorous publicity, the reputation is extremely bad.Now overseas donations are directly sent to the account of the Red Army, and will never be swallowed by the maggots of the Chang family dynasty.

At the same time, on the Tongzhou battlefield, whether it was the field hospital of the Fifth Division or the Sixth Division, it was also filled with a large number of Japanese soldiers, wrapped in bandages and even exposed their wounds to the air.Howling and screaming.The few military doctors have to deal with dozens or even hundreds of times the number of wounded.The military doctor felt that he was going crazy. Among the wounded sent by the delivery line, many of them were wounded soldiers who stepped on the "stinky dung mines" and were half disabled.

On the two lines of defense of the Red Army on the Eastern Front, a large number of feces mines were planted.In order to save time, the Sixth Division attacked the minefield completely recklessly. Among the wounded sent back from the front line, more than one-fifteenth were killed by landmines.

Compared with the opponents who were close to Pingjin and fought on the inside, the Japanese army in the field on the outside faced greater pressure on medical logistics.What's more terrible is that there is no railway in Tongzhou area and Tangshan.The wounded have to be transported by truck for fifty or sixty kilometers before they can reach the railway area to be sent away.

During dinner, everyone was talking about Vivien's phone call.

When she first received Vivien's call, Sophia didn't deliberately lower her voice, so that everyone could clearly hear her voice and the rich information contained in those words.
