Some things could have been avoided.
For example, the Japanese army could appear here so smoothly and threaten the retreat of the Hebei Anti-Japanese War army.
As long as Han Fukju's fighting spirit was slightly higher, it would be enough to eliminate the threat posed by the Japanese army.
And some things are unavoidable.
For example, in the battle in front of them, the North China Front Army gritted its teeth and wanted to keep the main force of the group army of Yang Hucheng and Zhao Tieshu and cut off their return route.
And Sun Liren once again acted as the fire team.
After several previous collisions, the main forces from both sides arrived one after another.
The Japanese army wanted to seize time, and Sun Liren had to fight.
So after several collisions and repairs by both sides, the showdown that ultimately determined the direction of the entire war began.
Although the combined armies of both sides were only about 20,000, it involved tens of thousands of people in the two armies.
The life and death of soldiers.
The blood-stained blue sky and white sun flag cracked in the wind.
The heavy tracks rolled forward on the relatively soft soil.
The roaring engine made a roar.
When the two torrents of steel converged in their respective camps, at this moment, both the Japanese army and the 2nd Mechanized Brigade were filled with a suppressed and majestic momentum.
Looking at the tanks one after another and the armored vehicles rolling forward, they all felt confident that they could overwhelm the enemy in front of them.
"Fire artillery" Before the two armies enter into substantial contact, the artillery of both sides is first fired at full capacity.
Since the war, although the Northwest Army has always attached great importance to artillery construction, it has always been the loser in terms of heavy artillery.
After all, artillery is the accumulation of a country's industrial strength.
The northwest has no shortage of resources, but it lacks the foundation accumulated over decades like Japan.
If Jiang Li hadn't taken advantage of time travellers over the years.
Continue to inject large amounts of capital into the northwest.
Introduce a large number of talents.
Even if the northwest has some weather, it will never be like this or even show that it can match the Japanese army on the frontal battlefield.
Although they were still losing ground one after another, they were able to hold back the Japanese army, and there was no collapse yet.
Instead, they were resisting step by step based on the terrain and defense lines.
It’s just that the gap in industrial strength can be reflected everywhere on the battlefield, including the number of tanks, armored vehicles, and aircraft.
There are also the number of heavy artillery and so on.
Therefore, even if the Northwest Army was presiding over the battle at this time, it could still only use its relatively superior force to hold back the Japanese army's advance, and the casualties paid were also very heavy.
Transporting heavy artillery and heavy artillery shells to the battlefield is also a very troublesome matter.
However, this time Sun Liren did not rely entirely on his towed artillery regiment to fight against the Japanese heavy artillery.
Although the number was still insufficient, the six 105 howitzers also gave Sun Liren a little more confidence.
The positions of both sides were shaking like the earth was shaking under the artillery fire.
At this time, all the soft soil was lifted into the air, and the corpses of the Northwest Army were also returned.
The artillery of the 2nd Mechanized Brigade was naturally not indifferent to the suppressive bombardment of the Japanese artillery.
Although the firepower of the counterattack seemed a bit lacking, after all, the seam strength was only less than two-thirds of the Japanese army.
But this gap is not fatal on the battlefield.
In addition, those who can enter the mechanized brigade are the elites of the Northwest Army, although after the First World War in Langfang.
A large number of soldiers were reorganized, but these soldiers were all trained by the military.
Moreover, Sun Liren, who retreated to Anyang, also trained for several months.
After several battles, they gradually began to train.
Besides, the Japanese army on the opposite side also added a large number of soldiers.
After all, the Japanese combat troops in the Hebei battlefield suffered considerable losses.
Faced with two warring parties that are not too disparate, it has always been very realistic to kill a thousand enemies and suffer eight hundred losses.
Even if the Japanese army hoped to defeat the enemy in front of them with a few charges, the reality was bloody.

The counterattack artillery fire of the 2nd Mechanized Brigade also caused a bloody storm on the Japanese positions.
The place where the shells plowed was also a patch of mottled bloodstains and craters.
But the corresponding problem is that the Japanese army cannot withstand such attrition.
While defeating the enemy, they must maintain a certain strength to block the counterattack of the opponent's southward army and buy time for the main force to annihilate the enemy.
Therefore, after a period of artillery battle between the two sides, although the Japanese army began to take advantage, it was also suffering staggering losses.
After all, the cannonballs fired by the opponent are not made of cotton, and they can still kill people.
This kind of simple attrition war is not what Kawamoto Kusatatsu wants.
Only by defeating the enemy's position can this kind of casualties end.
Even though we know that attacking the enemy's position will require greater casualties, as long as we can achieve our goal, we can do a one-shot deal.
It is better than continuing to consume like this.
So the Japanese troops in the brigade left the bunker and moved forward with difficulty in an environment full of bullets in an offensive formation.
After charging for a while, more than a dozen people were killed or wounded.
Although the heavy machine guns in the rear were desperately covering up, the firepower advantage obtained by the Japanese army was only relative.
At least there was no advantage in the firepower of the machine rifles.
The rifle firepower of the Northwest Army is even stronger than that of the Japanese Army.
A lot of bullets from the Japanese army hit the helmet on the opposite side, and blood overflowed from the helmet.
Tom Tom Several rounds of mortars were fired, and the blood and broken limbs of the dozens of Japanese soldiers who rushed out were basically scattered on the ground.
The same situation occurs in other places.
After all, in such a confrontation, the defender must have a certain advantage.
A squad-sized attack, in this case, is simply tentative.
Soon, after this test, several large steel-structured vehicles drove out of the bunker one after another and rushed directly to the opposite side.
After all, the Japanese army did not give it in vain.
After paying a certain price, they found out the relatively weak areas of the opponent's front and directly used four tanks and two armored vehicles to help.
At the same time, two lightweight Type 92 infantry units, as well as anti-tank guns, an electric donkey carrying a light machine gun, and even a heavy machine gun appeared one after another behind the tank.
"After a simple test, we were able to come up with such a lineup.
It seems that the Japanese army is indeed a little impatient."
Sun Liren put down the telescope.
Most famous generals always like to grasp first-hand information on the battlefield as much as possible, instead of simply staying in the headquarters and waiting for news.
Guderian, Rommel, etc. are all the same.
On the ever-changing battlefield, the so-called fortune curtain is completely unrealistic in many cases.
"Looking at the posture of the Japanese army, I'm afraid there will be a fight from behind."
A battalion commander next to him said with a solemn expression.
"This posture is good, and the burden on Gao Lingyun's side is lighter."
Compared to the solemn look on the battalion commander's face, Sun Liren quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Different people in different positions will look at problems from completely different angles.
The battalion commander must first consider how to hold the position.
But Sun Liren had to consider the entire war and weigh it at the critical moment.
It was completely worth sacrificing part of it to win the war or achieve the goal
