    With such a simple bunker, the Japanese bullets cannot harm the soldiers behind the bunker. When the first echelon of the attacking force advances to more than a hundred meters away from the battlefield, they will set up their machine guns to suppress the Japanese firepower.  .

    Lin Jianqiang concentrated more than 20 light machine guns in the regiment, and simultaneously suppressed the Japanese soldiers on the position with fire. The powerful automatic firepower suppressed the Japanese soldiers on the position so much that they could not even raise their heads.

    At the same time, the shelling from the rear artillery regiment never stopped.

    The Japanese positions outside the paddock were once again shrouded in flames, violent explosions occurred one after another, and Japanese soldiers were blown out one after another from time to time.

    Under the strong fire suppression, the soldiers of the second echelon of the first battalion quickly moved to a distance of more than 100 meters in front of the Japanese position.

    This distance is already very close, the atmosphere on the battlefield has become more tense, the little devils on the battlefield are pulling the triggers faster, and the casualties on the national army's side are also increasing.

    At the same time, the national troops on the forward position continued to move forward under the cover of bunkers. The machine gunners moved forward in a half-crouched position while firing to suppress the Japanese firepower points.

    Soon, the frontline troops had rushed to a distance of forty or fifty meters in front of the Japanese trenches. At this time, soldiers on both sides could see each other's expressions.

    The Japanese army was a little anxious and pulled the trigger even more crazily. The grenade launcher at the front also kept firing grenades.

    It has to be said that the combat effectiveness of the grenade launcher of the Little Devil is still very strong. Although the simple bunker is bulletproof, it is not grenade-proof. Basically, if a grenade hits, not only the bunker may be destroyed, but the machine gunner behind it will also be destroyed.  seriously injured.

    But the Chinese artillery in the rear is not a vegetarian. As soon as the grenade launcher here fires, the artillery behind will immediately counterattack.

    Since the distance between the two sides is already very close, the artillery shells are flying over the heads of the national soldiers, and an accident may fall on the heads of the attacking troops.

    But no one retreated. Everyone knew that whether they could win Weichang City depended on this time.

    Soon, a group of troops had reached a distance of less than 30 meters in front of the Japanese position. At this time, they did not seize the opportunity to charge. Instead, they took out grenades, quickly pulled the strings, and then threw them into the Japanese trenches with all their strength.  .

    From a distance of thirty meters, even a woman can throw a grenade into the enemy's position.

    In addition, the Eighth Route Army soldiers like to delay grenades for two to three seconds before throwing them out, so many grenades explode when they are about to hit the ground, and their power is increased by 30%.

    After hearing a violent explosion, the Japanese position was deathly silent. The little Japanese on the front line were stunned by the sudden blow.

    At this moment, the national army launched its final attack. All soldiers rushed into the Japanese positions, and intensive firepower struck the remaining Japanese troops.

    The Japanese infantry who had not yet recovered from the explosion were unable to organize an effective counterattack. In an instant, they were rushed into the trenches by national soldiers armed with machine guns, and hand-to-hand combat ensued.

    In less than an hour and a half, the Japanese troops outside the paddock collapsed, which surprised the Japanese commander-in-chief Sato Sato in Paddock City.

    His infantry brigade had just withdrawn from the border area to Jehol. Although its strength was less than a thousand, veterans accounted for two-thirds, which was rare among the Imperial Japanese Army.

    Because of this, Major Sato has always felt that his army can be regarded as a strong army when looking at the entire Kwantung Army.

    In the past few days, Sato has noticed that the atmosphere outside is a bit strange, so he withdrew his troops to the city in advance and strengthened his vigilance, thinking that he had handled it well.

    Therefore, when the national army launched an attack, Major Sato didn't pay much attention. He just reported the situation to Chengde. He neither chose to break out of the encirclement nor asked for help from Chengde. Instead, he prepared to rely on solid city defenses to inflict heavy damage on the national army.

    But he never expected that in less than an hour, the outer city's defenses had been completely destroyed. Of the more than 600 defenders deployed on the periphery, less than 200 had withdrawn from the city, plus all the puppet troops in the city.  At this time, there were less than 800 defenders in the city. At this moment, Major Sato felt a little regretful.

    There are people selling everything in this world, but there are no regret medicines. Major Sato is destined to pay the price for his arrogance.

    Despite this, Sato still had no intention of surrendering.

    As a Japanese officer who grew up listening to the myth of the invincibility of the Japanese Empire, Sato had already dedicated his life to the emperor.Now, even if you really die in battle, you won't frown.

    So after receiving the collapse of the troops outside the city, he immediately organized troops to defend the city wall. At the same time, Sato immediately sent a telegram asking for help to the defenders in Chengde.

    Although Sato is determined to fight to the death, it does not mean that he really wants to die. After all, the ants are still alive.

    The fighting situation in Weichang Town was quickly reported to Chengde. It was learned that in just one and a half hours, the defenders on the front line of Weichang Town had lost their outer fortifications, and their troops could only stick to the city wall. Major General Naojiro Tsuchiya, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army who stayed behind in Chengde City,  Shocked and angry.

    What surprised me was that the fighting power of the national army was so strong, and what made me angry was that the defenders were so unsatisfactory!

    In the view of Major General Tsuchiya, the combat effectiveness of Sato's brigade has always been the strongest in the entire brigade, and it is precisely because of this that it was placed at the forefront of the fight against the national army.

    He also thought that it would be more prudent to place the Sato Brigade in the paddock. Once the national army came from Chifeng and Tongliao, at least the Sato Brigade would be enough for the national army to chew on for two or three days. In this way, Chengde City would also  It's easy to deploy troops easily.

    ¡°But he never expected that such an error would occur in the first battle between his troops and the national army. Was that person too strong or was the Imperial Japanese Army too scumbag?

    In shock and anger, Major General Tugu's expression became extremely ferocious. After throwing the tea cup several times, he immediately ordered someone to send a stern telegram to the front line of Weichang Town.

    Paddock. Japanese garrison headquarters.

    Major Sato held the telegram from the brigade headquarters in his hand, his face was extremely ugly, and there was a hint of helplessness in his angry eyes.

    Looking at the staff officers in front of the terrain sand table, Major Sato said with a gloomy face: "Everyone, this is a reprimand telegram from the brigade headquarters. Your Excellency, the brigade commander is very dissatisfied with our department's operations today. He is dissatisfied with the brigade headquarters.  I will give an explanation myself and personally request punishment from the brigade commander."

    "Right now, the brigade commander wants us to defend the city and wait for reinforcements. So I hope that in the next battle, you will not embarrass the Imperial Japanese Army. If people know that the warriors of our 136th Brigade have lost their lives in just one hour,  The outer fortifications of the paddock were lost, and the troops suffered heavy casualties. I think this is what my relatives in my hometown do not want to see."

    "Hai!"

    Major Sato said again: "Immediately call the garrison troops at each city gate and tell them that once the city is broken, everyone must fight to the end, otherwise the honor of the soldiers will be saved in a special way."

    Hearing this, all the Japanese officers were shocked. They all understood that the so-called special method was to commit suicide by committing seppuku.

    "Sir, please rest assured. I and others should use the fearless samurai spirit of the imperial army to block the enemy from the Weichang Town." Lieutenant Yamada, the adjutant, said in a deep voice.

    "Hey, Yamada-kun, what you said is very good! Be prepared for street fighting when necessary, gentlemen, please!" Sato Major said immediately.

    "Hai! The Empire of Japan is on board, His Majesty the Emperor is on board!" All the officers said in unison.

    Although the battle was not going well, the Japanese soldiers, who were deeply brainwashed by the spirit of Bushido, still had no intention of retreating and assumed a posture of fighting to the end.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
