Chapter 135 The situation rises, the mountains and rivers move 21

After experiencing the bombing of the air bomb in the morning, Li Qinglin is not too scared of the shells of the 1992 infantry artillery. He lay in the crater, counting the number of Japanese shells in his mind, and began to judge the landing point of the shells when they cut through the air.

The Japanese had only a dozen artillery shells in a wave of fire. In the past, Li Qinglin always felt that there were many artillery shells. Now Li Qinglin calmed down and realized that he was indeed caused by the fear brought by the huge explosion. On such a large position, more than ten or twenty 3.8 kilograms of 92 grenades could not be fully covered, but the national army was really poorly equipped and had poor transportation capabilities. So far, even the main force of the 10th Division, such as the 10th Division, had no cannons to attack him.

Since yesterday, Li Qinglin has fought several battles and can be regarded as a veteran on the battlefield. He recalled himself and found that on the battlefield, it was indeed the same as the predecessors said, that is, "New soldiers are afraid of artillery, and veterans are afraid of guns."

When the shells fall, there is always a special whistling sound that cuts through the air. Veterans can generally determine whether they are falling to themselves. At this time, they can choose to lie down or dodge next to them. The speed of the bullets is more than the speed of sound. When you hear the gunshots, the bullets have actually flew over long ago. When you haven't heard the gunshots, you hear the "rustling" sound of bullets hitting the soil, or hitting the stones. This is the enemy is aiming and shooting at you. If the bullets don't hit you, you will escape from death. Before you feel the danger, you will walk for a while at the gate of hell. What a terrible thing, so veterans are afraid of guns.

Specifically speaking of Li Qinglin, this happened in the first battle. At that time, he did not hear the sound of machine guns shooting at him, so he saw the sparks from the bullets shot at him hitting the big stone he was hiding. The dazzling spark seemed to be the summoning of the god of death. Every time Li Qinglin thought about it, he was scared and sweated.

Just like the previous attacks, after the second wave of shell bombardment, the Japanese infantry began to attack again.

War is a collision of violence and a collision of wisdom. In a war, human blood and violence have reached the extreme, and strategy and wisdom have also reached the extreme.

Before the Nankou Battle started, the Japanese side had already made an assessment, believing that except for Tang Enbo's 13th Central Army, other Chinese troops were vulnerable, and the Chinese army had many internal conflicts. In order to preserve their strength, each unit often refused to save his death.

But after the battle started, the process of the battle was greatly beyond the expectations of the Japanese army.

On the main battlefield in Nankou, Japanese planes, cannons and tanks took turns to fight, but they were resolutely counterattacked by the 13th Army of the Chinese army. The Japanese army could not capture it for a long time and suffered heavy casualties.

Fu Zuoyi, who was stationed in Chahar, actively mobilized his army and planned to counterattack the Japanese army attacking the Nankou area. After learning about Fu Zuoyi's army, the Kwantung Army immediately launched an attack on Fu Zuoyi's rear route Zhangjiakou. Fu Zuoyi personally led the 200th Brigade, and the 211th Brigade returned to Zhangjiakou, leaving behind the 72nd Division, and the 7th Independent Brigade was under the command of Tang Enbo, and directly supported Tang Enbo's 13th Army.

What shocked the Japanese army even more was that Wei Lihuang's 14th Army had arrived in the western part of Beijing without realizing it. Before the war, the Japanese army also noticed the possible reinforcements of the Chinese army, and believed that the 14th Army was reorganized in Shimen. In addition to the basic 14th Army, other troops were also scattered in various places, and it was impossible to send troops to North China.

However, the facts gave the Japanese commanders who made this judgment a loud slap. The 14th Army not only sent troops, but also acted quickly, and the route of the march was extremely secretive and tricky. The 14th Army became the first reinforcement force to enter the North China region. They not only wanted to directly support the 13th Army, but also had the intention to attack the Japanese army's retreat in North China.

In order to relieve their worries, the Japanese army urgently dispatched the 36th Brigade of the 6th Division to form the Niudao Detachment, went to the western part of Beijing to block the 14th Army, and sent the 20th Division to enter the northwest mountainous area of ​​Liangxiang and launched an attack on the 26th Army of the National Army that guarded the Pinghan Line and its northwest.

The 23rd Regiment of the Japanese Utsushima Detachment was blocking the 10th Division, and the captain of the 23rd Regiment was Colonel Masao Okamoto.

Originally, the task given to them was to block the attack. As long as the 14th Army was blocked from the south entrance, they would have completed the task. However, Colonel Okamoto Masao was not satisfied with this. As a soldier of the empire, only by bravely killing the enemy and annihilation of countless enemies could he be considered a real warrior. This tactic of only defending the position and hunching the head tortoise was most despised by him. So he ordered that the position on the opposite 10th Division must be taken down today.

The Japanese army's second attack today was very different from the first in the morning. They adopted a new attack method - wave attack. The Japanese infantry attacked was divided into several waves. After the first wave of infantry was stopped, they did not retreat from the battlefield, but hid on the spot, relying on the 38th large cover in their hands to shoot and kill the defenders; then the second wave of infantry began to attack. The Japanese army attacked the frontier positions of the National Army in waves.

The Japanese 1992 infantry artillery also changed its tactics, and even the infantry did not stop shooting even when charging, completely ignoring whether they accidentally injured the Japanese army's own people.

The mortars of the Kuomintang were also firing continuously, giving the front line a certain amount of firepower support, but the Japanese strong attack caused great casualties to the Kuomintang on the position.

The Japanese army changed its tactics. If only the Second Battalion was on the front line, it would be hard to say whether it could be defended now. Now the National Army's position has a solid one and a half battalions of troops. Although the newly built trenches along the crater where Li Qinglin was located have not been completely repaired, they also played a huge role.

This simple trench is relatively high in terrain. When the Japanese charged, they were within the range of the soldiers. The soldiers' guns shot over, killing and injuring many Japanese troops.

Li Qinglin divided the four 38-large covers into two groups to deal with Japanese machine guns in the distance. The two groups of personnel looked for Japanese machine guns and then concentrated their firepower to fire platoons. On the battlefield, gunshots were constantly sounding, bullets and shrapnel flew around. Li Qinglin and the others did not know whether they had attacked the Japanese army, but they could feel that the Japanese machine gun shooting was often temporarily stopped for a period of time, so that their firepower support for the stormtroopers was much smaller.

The continuous attack of the Japanese army caused the number of casualties to the national army to increase, and the bodies of the national army were constantly thrown out in the trenches, and subsequent replenishment of troops was also sent to the ground in the rain of bullets.

The Japanese army's wave attack is actually a human-sea tactic. It relies on continuous attack and shooting the defenders and defeating the will of the defenders. The human-sea tactic is a double-edged sword. The attacking party has no chance to breathe, but the attacking party will inevitably suffer great casualties due to the relatively dense formation of personnel. The Japanese army's Bushido spirit is at its peak at this time. The people in front were knocked down, and the Japanese army behind did not frown, and crossed the bodies that fell to the ground to continue charging. The situation of the front-line trenches of the National Army was quite dangerous.
