Chapter 118: Bloody Battle with Old Street (8)

Could it be that this little Chengde was made of copper cast iron? Are the Chinese troops guarding here immortal? Okamura Yanji's question probably only Zhang Xuewu can answer him. It can be said that when Zhang Xuewu first controlled Chengde, he referred to the successful experience of countless classic defensive wars in later generations.

Compared with most Chinese troops, Japanese weapons do have extremely fierce and sharp firepower. At first, Zhang Xuewu planned to use the Golan trench and barbed wire mesh that were famous in history for the Middle East War to delay the impact of Japanese infantry and combat vehicles. He used mortars to close the impact channel, and used division-owned artillery regiment fire to block the reinforcement route of Japanese reinforcement echelons. He deployed traffic trench behind the Golan trench. When necessary, he used grenade explosive packs to directly throw them to the bottom of the trench to kill and injure Japanese infantry or blast Japanese offensive chariots.

Theoretically, Japanese weapons only have a great impact on semi-open linear positions. However, Japanese weapons are a typical tragedy when facing multiple, three-dimensional, full-coverage, and semi-buried bunkers. However, the Golan trench is extremely large in quantity and requires special terrain and terrain, which is not something that can be excavated anywhere. The most critical point is that the Golan trench is a typical multi-level, multi-point, and multi-compliant three-dimensional blasting construction. Human resources cannot be excavated at all. Even for general geological soil, a Golan trench that is only 200 meters long may require at least 5,000 people to excavate for three to four months.

The most important thing is that the Golan trench is used to prevent tank heavy troops from attacking, but the Japanese did not have many chariots to use. Moreover, the Japanese have never attached importance to the equipment and training of armored soldiers, even in combat. Therefore, Zhang Xuewu was not worried that the Japanese would gather their few chariots together at one time to reimburse him.

Therefore, Zhang Xuewu chose a semi-closed multiple cross-defense system, which is combined with barbed wire and closed traffic trench, gathers the strengths of many families, and flexibly sets fire support and duplex fire points. This offensive front-line position has to face the position construction model of firepower projection strikes in the second and third-line positions. The Japanese army suffered a lot.

However, Zhang Xuewu was not at ease. The ammunition was consumed very quickly, and there were heavy casualties. Field hospitals were already overcrowded. Many minor wounded people returned to their respective troops and were incorporated into the reserve team. The seriously injured were also diverted a small number of them. The bodies of the sacrificed officers and soldiers were placed in the backyard of the Women's Middle School. After a snowfall, the bodies were covered by snowflakes.

It is too much for the living to care about the dead, and it is too reluctant to take care of the dead. The Japanese army's fierce attack finally came to an end. Zhang Xuewu originally thought that the Japanese army would do anything to the point of breaking the city. Now it seems that the Japanese are just like this. They have not fought any wars since the Russo-Japanese War, but they have trained better on weekdays and have been more irritable and arrogant when they fought against Xiaobei.

Under the rain of bullets from Maxine's heavy machine gun, there are still corpses crying and howling everywhere. The Japanese are really nothing special. Don't be afraid of them. When you are fearless, you are the bravest person!

These words are the words Zhang Xuewu said the most in the past two days. After the Japanese army stopped attacking, Zhang Xuewu almost traveled all over the left wing and central positions on the side ridge of Majiagou, the Tiger Gowu position, and even climbed to the main peak position of Monkguan Peak.

The casualties and losses of the troops shocked Zhang Xuewu. The second regiment, which originally thought that the easiest battle, was reimbursed three of the six reinforcement battalions in the second regiment, and Wang Chuang reported to Zhang Xuewu helplessly. Among them, the fifth battalion was reinforced by the Tiger Gower position, and there were not enough people left to form a company. It can be said that the fifth battalion was completely destroyed, while the second battalion and the sixth battalion were all consumed on Sengguan Peak, and a company was filled in almost an hour. The troops had to pay a huge price to block the area through the Japanese artillery blockade.

The most miserable thing in the entire division was Xu Guohui and Zhao Xinyu's two regiments. Both of them had only two battalions of troops. Now they were all thinking about the general reserve team of the last three battalions in Zhang Xuewu's hands. After Zhang Xuewu's general reserve team shrank by half from the six battalions, they said they would not draw any more soldiers and soldiers.

In Zhang Xuewu's division headquarters, Evans, one of the five German consultants led by Metlin, died heroically in the hand-to-hand combat during the defensive battle between Majiagou and Bianling. Roger was seriously injured. Therefore, with Metlin, there were only four German consultants covered in smoke. These German consultants used their practical actions to demonstrate their outstanding and noble military ethics to the Chinese soldiers. In Zhang Xuewu's view, no matter how the German army performed during World War II, the professional ethics of German soldiers were very admirable, so he had long regarded Metlin and others as his own.

For Chinese soldiers, their personal emotions often exceed their professional responsibilities and sense of honor. German consultants undoubtedly have deep feelings for the Chinese army they have guided, and are even willing to go through life and death with Chinese soldiers to resist foreign humiliation. However, their emotions do not hinder their sense of responsibility. Perhaps they are also under oppression and humiliation, so German soldiers are more willing to be close to Chinese soldiers.

Li Songtao with a deep face, Xu Guohui with a wounded head, Zhao Xinyu with a shoulder, Li Xinkai with a smoke on his face, Huang Tao with a mud all over, Zhang Tianpeng with a tired expression, and Wang Chuang who was sleepy! This is the team of Zhang Xuewu and the Japanese army fighting against the Rehe Portal.

After seeing everyone, Li Xinkai opened a file and took a deep breath and said, "Since our army arrived in Chengde to consolidate its defense at the beginning of the year, it has consolidated its defense to kill the Japanese invaders' claws. From March 3, Japanese cavalry appeared outside Chengde City, the 10th Japanese army's 14th Division attacked Chengde's battle to this day. For seven days, the Japanese army's besieged troops were five divisions and two brigades, equipped with a heavy artillery brigade, and a total of 150,000 troops.

After our army recruited Tang Yulin's troops, the entire division was more than 17,000, and the combat troops were more than 16,000. To this day, more than 4,700 people were killed and more than 5,300 minor and serious injuries were consumed. The storage of various types of ammunition was consumed. Only bullets and grenades were sufficient, and the inventory of shells was basically exhausted. Only the last two bases remained. Since the artillery regiment fought, a total of 15 artillery pieces were destroyed, and 429 casualties were no longer among the above casualties."

It can be said that Li Xin's report made everyone present look slightly cold, and everyone's mind had the idea of ​​having more than half of the casualties and exhausted ammunition and food. If it were under field conditions, even if Zhang Xuewu had strong ability to control the troops, the new first division would have to fall into defeat and out of control at this moment. It can be said that Zhang Xuewu would still secretly thank a bastard of a bastard in Japan at this time. If it weren't for the Japanese army's siege and attack on the city from all directions, the new first division would not have exploded with such tenacious and amazing combat power. It would be a rare miracle to defend the enemy with one division to defend the lonely city for seven days, especially the enemy was still the extremely arrogant Japanese Imperial Army.

Seeing that everyone's expressions were a little solemn, Li Songtao smiled and said, "I'm talking about the teacher's seat, it's really as you said! They all have two legs and one belly. Japan is not a body that is not damaged by steel. It's a hole if you shoot one shot! I went to the old street position before, my godmother! The body of this Japanese man is pressing layer by layer! I guess the Japanese casualties are at least three times that of our army. Now that Japan doesn't fight, I think they can't bite them anymore. I want to adjust their tactics and grasp the rhythm of the attack, because since the war started, the Japanese have been jumping at our rhythm. Let me see! Japan will send people to negotiate!"
