The infantry regiment that "killed" Zhuang Huchen was too exhausted in fighting the Japanese army.
Even if more than 2,000 people were replenished by a part of the defeated troops, the entire regiment had less than 2,000 people left at this time, and the original veterans plus minor injuries Only about 1,100 soldiers can go to the battlefield.
At this time, most of Zhang Zizhong's 37th Division was fighting on the front line with the Japanese army as the main force of the battle.
Zhang Zizhong was not a bad person in fighting.
In view of the Japanese army's superior firepower, he personally went to the front line to command the battle.
This is also the reason why the national strength is backward and the armaments are not as good as those of Japan.
Otherwise, with Zhang Zizhong’s respect as a division commander, how would he need to lead his subordinates to serve as a fire-fighting team in such a dangerous place?
Zhang Zizhong was willing to fight so hard, and Zhuang Huchen did not hesitate with the little capital he had left.
He used only one 150-weight mortar and five 82-weight mortars to provide fire cover for Zhang Zizhong, and also placed two heavy machine guns.
Arriving at the flank of the 37th Division.
However, the Japanese army was not a fool.
Sensing the unusual behavior of the defenders and the gradual closing of the encirclement, they made up their mind to encircle and annihilate the Chinese army, which had the strongest will to resist the war and had caused great losses to Japan.
Boo hoo hoo Zhang Zizhong, who was commanding the troops in a fierce battle with the Japanese army, was no stranger to this kind of trembling sound.
On the battlefield, they did not know how much they suffered from the Japanese artillery.
How many brave soldiers who dared to fight against the Japanese army died under such heavy artillery. , but this time the direction of the heavy artillery seems to be wrong. boom The huge firelight rising from the Japanese army's position in the distance made Zhang Zizhong and all the officers and soldiers of the Northwest Army, who had been suffering under the fierce firepower of the Japanese army since joining the war, feel a burst of joy from the bottom of their hearts.
Tom Tom Tom Next, the sound of 75 mountain artillery, field artillery, and mortars was fired.
The steel frenzy that blew up outside the ruins of the North City Gate almost gave Zhang Zizhong's 37th Division the illusion that when would the Republic of China's army have such ferocious firepower?
Gao Zhihang shied away from the originally promised aerial fire support, saying only that reinforcements had been sent over.
Zhang Zizhong was still a little unhappy at first.
He knew that the 15th Route Army had an air force stationed at Nanyuan Airport, and he heard that it had achieved good results.
He braved the continuous war to enter Chengde, but the 15th Route Army was reluctant to even provide air support.
As for the ground troops, How much of a problem can reinforcements in this situation solve except under the Japanese aircraft and artillery?
After seeing the firepower of the reinforcements at this time, Zhang Zizhong realized that his worries were unfounded.
Song Zheyuan's 29th Army came from Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army.
Since the war between Feng and Jiang in the Central Plains.
The Northwest Army was dismembered, and Song Zheyuan only retained the current organizational structure of the army by getting through Zhang Xueliang's connections.
In the past, the conditions of the Northwest Army were not generous, but at least it had a piece of territory, but now the 29th Army is just a lonely ghost, and it is a no-name to Nanjing, the Northeast Army, and the Jin Army.
Without the support of local tax revenue, expecting the military chiefs sent from Nanjing would make a pig laugh.
At this time, the 29th Army that was pulled onto the battlefield was already an army that had been inactive for several months.
Many soldiers of the 29th Army were dressed like beggars.
The combined firepower of the entire army was probably considered good enough to be able to carry out such an attack.
What's more, there are at least seven or eight heavy artillery mixed inside.
"Good fight!"
At this time, the soldiers of the 37th Division and Zhuang Huchen's regiment cheered loudly.
"Kill" took advantage of the Japanese follow-up troops being blinded by this saturated shelling, and a large number of soldiers rushed out of the trenches to fight with the Japanese troops.
At this time, the attacking Japanese army was at a point where its new strength had been exhausted and its old strength had not yet been regenerated.
Under this wave of counterattack by the defenders, more than two hundred corpses were lost and they were defeated after not holding on for long.
Unlucky, all the soldiers of the 37th Division couldn't help but cursed when they saw the plane with the plaster flag in the sky.
If it hadn't been for the appearance of these big birds, and they had taken advantage of the victory to pursue and fight for a while, I'm afraid one or two hundred more Japanese would have been killed.
Regardless of the number of one or two hundred, after fighting for such a long time, it is extremely difficult to kill hundreds of Japanese troops with such large forces fighting alternately.
The good opportunity was wasted like this.
Maybe the Japanese counterattack with the help of aircraft can win back the victory.
In turn, they inflicted heavy casualties on them.
This situation has happened countless times on the battlefield.
"Quick, calculate the lead time.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Don't be nervous, let alone alert these aircraft by shooting in advance."
At this time, Puying Company, which was among the ground troops, kept directing its men to make adjustments to the machine guns and cannons.
"China Army, all go to hell" Yamajo Ichimoku piloted the Type 87 heavy blaster in an arc to descend.
According to Yamajo Ichimoku, although the Chengde China defenders were equipped with a lot of machine guns.
But almost all were lost in the battle.
As for the rifle shooting down the plane, although it has appeared once or twice on the battlefield since the invasion of Fengtian, this kind of guy who can't drink cold water can only say that he has memorized it to the extreme.
Is there any way to close it?
As for the dense black dots under his field of vision, they will only add a few highlights to his medal.
The other two planes also dropped in altitude.
The Japanese fighter jets were patrolling around the battlefield at this time, responsible for intercepting possible enemy fighters.
Tom Tom Impact sounds that were much clearer and more rapid than the 82 mortar were heard frequently, and there was also a violent firing sound that was similar to the sound of a heavy machine gun, but much more powerful than the ordinary 79 heavy machine gun.
"What kind of weapon is this?"
Not only the Japanese army, but even the soldiers of the 37th Division couldn't help looking over at this time.
The weapon that could make such a sound was something that the 37th Division had never seen before.
The dense cannonballs flew into the sky like raindrops under the violent impact, violating the principle of gravity.
The machine gun shell penetrated the ammunition compartment of the first 87 heavy explosion without any suspense.
At first glance, Yamajo felt the fuselage tremble.
No, how could it be possible that the Chinese had anti-aircraft weapons that could fire from the ground?
It's a pity that Yamajo Ichimaki doesn't have any extra time to regret.
With a bang, the entire plane exploded into a dazzling display of fireworks.
Yamajo Ichime was directly vaporized by the high-heat energy in the explosion of the aerial bomb.
"What?"
Although Yamajo Ichimaki died, his death brought endless fear to his colleagues behind him.
Who says the Japanese army is not afraid of death?
The pilots behind them were also flying two 87 heavy bombers.
The pilots above were frightened and quickly raised the altitude of the plane.
Only height can make them feel a sense of security.
The pilot who followed Yamajo Ichime only felt a tremor on the right wing.
With many years of flying experience, the pilot could feel that his car was hit.
Height, height, and soon the pilot found a crack in the strong wing while raising the altitude, and then the crack became bigger and bigger
