Chapter 18 Bloody War 6
"Kill, give!" At the first time of the extension of the artillery fire, the Japanese infantry began to launch a three-sided siege on the few [***] teams in the Peking University Battalion under the suppression of the support firepower composed of heavy machine guns, mortars and projectiles.
The biggest advantage of Zhang Xuewu's circular position is that it can flexibly adjust the force and firepower and shrink the defense area. In the history of World War II, the U.S. military, which has an absolute advantage in firepower, has repeatedly projected firepower with ring fortifications with fierce infantry, giving troops an absolute advantage. The Japanese army was hit hard.
Due to the adequate preparation, the firepower of Zhang Xuewu's troops was not weaker than that of the U.S. military's reinforced battalion in the late World War II, especially the number of heavy machine guns was amazing, which had a lot to do with Zhang Xuewu's borrowing of the equipment of the 621st and 619th regiments.
The Japanese army suffered a great loss in the shooting of heavy machine guns. The ring position of the guard of the Peking University battalion was like a hedgehog, and there was artillery support in the direction of Dongling in the east. The Japanese army once tried to attack the Dongling ammunition depot, but in fear of the strong fortifications and fierce firepower of the ammunition depot, they had to give up. The Kwantung army lacked a strong attack. Required training, weapons and equipment, and sufficient troops.
The warpiece is a kind of simple grenade throwing equipment unique to the Japanese army. The Northeast Army has also purchased a large number of copies from the Japanese army in the later stage. The warthrower is a very lethal weapon in the hands of experienced soldiers. The soldiers of the continuous breakthrough use the throwing in their hands. The cartridge overturned seven or eight heavy machine guns.
The Czech-made light machine gun could not effectively maintain the continuation of firepower due to the 20-round magazine, so it gave the Japanese army infantry the opportunity to break through. Several Japanese soldiers who formed a combat group or several battle groups covered each other's the ring defense line on the periphery of the besieging army of the Beida Camp, at close range. Even well-trained veterans of the 7th Infantry Brigade can hardly take advantage of it.
Domon Jiro held up his telescope and looked at his soldiers shouting long live His Majesty the Emperor, and waves of waves of smoke that had not yet dissipated rushed to the ring fortifications in the middle.
Suddenly, a continuous flash and hoarse explosion burst out from the position of [***]! The hot metal jet instantly penetrated the offensive formation of the Japanese army, and a large number of injured Japanese soldiers shook and fell to the ground, struggling and moaning feebly.
This is a big gift specially prepared by Zhang Xuewu for me. A thin-skinned lead bucket was loaded into the Italian-made Tamiri trip mine in order, on which two grenades and half a kilogram of iron sand were tied with a wooden frame. After the extension of the military artillery, Zhang Xuewu ordered Wang to give up the outer defense line, Zhang Xuewu He commanded the troops to leave the gifts that condensed their creativity on the position.
Go! With the input of the counterattack force, the Japanese army, which was heavily killed by the minefield, was quickly equipped with a large number of submachine guns and Mauser pistols, and the counterattack force drove out of the circular position. Around the position, the Japanese army was full of abandoned corpses.
Domen Erlang looked proudly at his troops rushing forward, and staring at his troops being kicked out like ducks.
Domen Jiro blushed and clenched his fist tightly. In his military career, when did the Imperial Army become so unbearable? In particular, such an unbearable army is still the famous Sendai Division under his command? Victory has arrived, and these cowards dare not persist in the face of the enemy? The victory or defeat of assault operations often lies in the enemy and ours who can hold on to the last five minutes! In fact, what embarrassed Duomen Jiro the most was that Ben Zhuang led Meiji Jianchuan, Seishiro Itagaki, Guaner Ishihara and others to watch the battle.
At this moment, Domen Jiro was almost angry at Haikou, which he had boasted before. Major General Amano, the head of the Amano Brigade, who was responsible for this attack, was almost slapped in the face.
When Duomen Erlang was jumping like thunder, Zhang Xuewu was also hesitating. It was now at 16:00 p.m. on the 19th. If Beiping and Nanjing had the intention to counterattack, I'm afraid that the Japanese army would not continue to gather heavy troops to besiege the Peking University camp. In dealing with his own problems, Zhang Xueliang listened to Chiang Kai-shek's, because "Middle East Road The First World War has made Zhang Xueliang realize that it is impossible to deal with the army of a country with local power. All the energy of the central government of Nanjing is in the hustle and bounds to be a little indulgence.
In fact, Zhang Xuewu is very clear that the Peking University Battalion can't be defended tactically at all. The advantage he relies on is that he is familiar with this well-known history of later generations. With all the automatic firearms of the Seventh Infantry Brigade, he uses the most effective defense mode of the U.S. military to deal with the Japanese army's siege during World War II. Build circular fortifications to resist the Japanese army, in order to transport as many weapons, ammunition, armaments and ordnance equipment stored by the Northeast Border Defense Force as possible, to minimize the losses in history.
From the bottom of his heart, Zhang Xuewu knows that the Peking University camp is the dead ground for fighting in all directions. Tactically, if the Japanese army is fully prepared to have enough firepower, then the only result of defending the Peking University camp is to serve as the shelling target of the Japanese army.
It can't be defended tactically, but it is a must-have place strategically. Zhang Xuewu is very soberly aware that if he sticks to the Peking University camp and causes a war or conflict on a certain scale between China and Japan, whether he retreats because he knows the difficulties, or the Beiping side or Nanjing side orders a counterattack, it is called this Kanto. It is impossible for the army to fully occupy the northeast. In this way, when a full-scale war breaks out, China will be in a relatively favorable position, and hundreds of thousands of Northeast border guards can also play a huge role that has not been able to play in history.
It can be said that the fall of the four northeastern provinces and the critical situation in Pingjin also have a lot to do with the night of the 9.18 Manchurian Incident and the repeated waiting of Zhang Xueliang, the deputy commander-in-chief of Beiping Land, Sea and Air.
Zhang Xuewu looked at the gradually setting sun and said that he seemed to have found his intention, and the Japanese army besieging him face to face was also decreasing. Tonight was his last chance to break through. If you still choose to stick to it after tonight, but the political axe of the Republic of China is as popular as in history. Naturally, I don't think about being captured and surrendering. I'm afraid I can only die for the country!
Chiang Kai-shek and Chiang Kai-shek, who returned to Nanjing to take command, were full of hope and put everything on the mediation and deterrence of the League of Nations. In fact, Chiang Kai-shek had his own small calculations. As the largest warlord vassal town in China, Zhang Xueliang, the deputy commander-in-chief of the army, navy and air force, was able to become the largest on the national political axe balance. The chip is because it has hundreds of thousands of well-equipped and brave Northeast troops.
His chairman was put on by Zhang Xueliang. Similarly, if Zhang Xueliang turns his hand over for the rain, will he and Jiang also go out of the wild again? Zhang Xueliang, the brother of the alliance, is a double-edged sword for him and Jiang.
Chiang Kai-shek has just ordered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to inform China's League of Nations Mission in Neiva and many other matters. He Bin, deputy director of the Secretariat here, quietly came to Chiang Kai-shek and said, "Chairman Jiang, Zhang Xueliang, deputy commander-in-chief of Peiping, called!"
Chiang Kai-shek thought with his fast and sharp words: "Quick! Hurry up! Pick it in quickly. Next time Han Qing's phone call doesn't have to go through the secretariat. You can pick it in directly!"
He Bin nodded, as if he appeared quietly, and left quietly! Chiang Kai-shek glanced at He Bin's back with his eyes. He Bin came from an orthodox background and was deeply influenced by Sanming's cooking. He was a top student who graduated from Yanjing University. His writing was comparable to Chen Brei and Dai Jitao. Chiang Kai-shek considered the real income under the curtain more than once as his thirteen Taibao, but there is an old Chinese saying, Although He Bin's ability is extraordinary, he always can't get into Jiang's eyes because of such and such problems. He has been in the secretariat for several years, and his eyes are getting more and more slippery.
Chiang Kai-shek picked up the microphone and fed a sentence, and heard Zhang Xueliang eagerly say over there: "Chairman Jiang, now the Japanese army has concentrated most of the troops of the Second Division and all the troops of its reading garrison. It is attacking the Peking University Battalion. One of our army defending the Peking University Battalion will not retreat from the enemy. Now the two sides are in a stalemate!"
(After the September 18 Incident (commonly known as the Manchurian Incident), Sun Kezheng was unable to deal with the political axe deficit, diplomacy and financial crisis. Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Jingwei cooperated to form a cabinet and became the chairman of the National Government Axe Military Committee. The title of chairman also appeared in some important members of the government since the 21st year of the Republic of China. In the mouth.)
