On October 10, 1940, the performance of the National Army on several battlefields outside the Great Wall:

The Chinese people are happy and the Japanese are worried.

After Wei Mingyang sent all the supplies to the fleet ashore, he immediately led the team back to Shanhaiguan overnight.

The Tank Division, who had been waiting here for a long time, immediately began to land.

The task of the two divisions is to go to Jinxi immediately and be ready to attack east and west at any time.

This is the reserve team that Wei Mingyang prepared for Jinzhou and Xingcheng.

Until now, Wei Mingyang knew that the Japanese would definitely fight back.

But in which direction do they counterattack?

No one knows it!

Yesterday, the fifteen Japanese infantry divisions in Suizhong devoted all their energy to the battle in Suizhong County.

This made Wei Mingyang very happy. He thought the Japanese should keep this way, preferably they had a heart to march into the Great Wall.

In this way, you don't have to worry too much.

...

Yesterday morning, the Independent Mixed Third Division of Xingcheng was captured, and after conquering Xingcheng, it began to build fortifications.

Commander Guan Dahai knew very well that the Japanese attack on Xingcheng would definitely be unprecedented.

Dogs will jump over the wall when entering a poor alley, and rabbits will bite them when they are anxious.

Not to mention the vicious Japanese, if they recognize the reality, they will definitely attack Xingcheng.

After the two infantry brigades of his division captured Xingcheng, the two brigade commanders immediately began to excavate the fortifications.

In order to better deal with the Japanese attack: Commander Guan placed the heavy artillery regiment in the west of the city, and behind this direction were the station and railway lines.

It not only facilitates the use of Japanese shells stored at the station, but also allows fewer key locations to be protected by the entire division.

The entire division focused its defense outside the east gate and north gate, and with preparations in advance.

Cooperating with the cover of the artillery regiment, the open areas outside the city are more conducive to the power of the cannon.

And outside this city, it is also convenient for the entire division's tanks to play a role.

According to the division commander's request, Brigade Commander Huang Haochao and Brigade Commander Wu Guohao were each responsible for defense in one direction.

Ring trenches were built in the east and north directions to protect the small Xingcheng.

Company Commander Yuan Yijiang loudly ordered the soldiers to take action quickly: "The devils may come next moment."

"The company commander is right!" Wen Tianshan agreed loudly.

Of course, the soldiers of the entire company knew that the Japanese in Suizhong had their backbone cut off, and they would send people to attack immediately.

With this idea, the entire company's actions to dig trenches faster.

For two years, the entire army has been training every day, either struggling on the training ground or stationing in the wild to train.

Digging trenches as basic training, digging a single trench in fifteen minutes is the standard.

After Wentianshan dug out the "Yanzi Cave" fortification he used, he did not find any Japanese attacking.

Immediately dig traffic trenches behind, and only by connecting the fortifications of everyone in the entire company can they play a greater role during war.

This is not only Yuan Yijiang, a company that thinks.

This is what the entire camp, the entire regiment and the entire division think.

Two hours later, the first line of defense was completed, but the Japanese were not seen.

This does not affect the order that Commander Wen Tianci orders to dig the second trench and the third trench immediately!

Sweat more now and bleed less when fighting!

The excavation work has been going on for noon, and the surrounding area of ​​Xingcheng is completely quiet.

This made Commander Guan Dahai happy: The Japanese are leaving time for themselves to prepare.

The infantry regiment was busy, and the heavy artillery regiment did not rest.

They built heavy artillery positions outside Chengdong Railway Station, and sacks were dragged out from the station.

The soldiers filled the bags with dirt and piled them onto the positions.

After the heavy artillery regiment entered the artillery position, it immediately began to test the firing parameters of the preset bombing target.

One dry rice, five hundred meters, and three hundred meters outside the defense line in the west of the city require shooting parameters.

The same is true outside the city’s north defense line!

These are just nearby locations, and outside the west of the city, along the railway line, the farthest test projectile hit twelve miles outside the west of Xingcheng City.

Guan Dahai took Ma Shumou, the commander of the heavy artillery regiment, and the staff of the artillery regiment to the west of the city and the north of the city to carefully inspect the railway and the highway.

Thirty-two locations where the Japanese might be stationed in barracks and artillery positions were found.

Especially the Japanese artillery soldiers, the positions they are looking for must be open on the side of the railway or on the side of the highway, which facilitates the entry and exit of vehicles.

There are only eight such positions, which is the key to testing the shooting parameters first.

The other locations are where the Japanese camped, and they need to test them one by one if they have time.

When bombing with heavy artillery, it must be much better than shooting with a rifle.

The entire division is now defending, with all the tanks gathering together and ready to attack at any time.

In order to assault, the defense lines in the west and north of the city have specially reserved channels for tank assault.

For the passage, only for the own tanks, trees were piled up in the trenches. Before the tanks were about to attack, the soldiers in the trenches temporarily put the wooden sticks on the trenches and let the tanks pass.

If the Japanese want to use the trenches like this, there is no door!

Li Zhongxian's independent 4th Division was also in Xingcheng, and his heavy artillery regiment also joined the test shooting mission.

However, the infantry of his division was just resting!

It is the first reserve team for Xingcheng's defense.

However, the migration of the people in Xingcheng City was Li Zhongxian's mission.

All of these people were notified to board the train and retreat to Jinxi.

No one is allowed to run around: they can only go to Jinxi, or stay at home and not run around.

There are not only Chinese people in Xingcheng City, but also many Japanese businessmen.

They took it for granted that the national army wanted to transfer them and what they wanted to do?

Akihiro Sato quietly organized about a hundred Japanese, and they were ready: when the Japanese outside the city attacked, they had to cooperate with the attacks inside and outside to make trouble in the city.

Of course they are unwilling to leave the city.

It was too conspicuous that they did not leave the city, so they gathered a group of local people to form a so-called petition group.

Dozens of local people rushed to the soldiers who were in charge of notifying them to retreat to protest: They said they had relatives in the countryside and wanted to stay at their relatives' house for a few days.

He was blocked by the soldiers and went back: "Do you want to go outside the city first and then report to the Japanese?

Those who collude with the enemy will be killed without mercy!

There is a big battle here in Xingcheng, and the Japanese cannonballs are not eye-catching.

Those who are unwilling to leave now come home and close the door and are not allowed to walk around each other.

You can come out until the war is over."

These dozens of people looked at the bright bayonets in the soldiers' hands, and then looked at the eyes of these soldiers.

Xingcheng is not far from the Great Wall. News that the Japanese were killed by more than 20,000 people outside the Great Wall a few days ago has long been circulating among these people.

Although it was just a rumor, no one came out to confirm it.

But as long as you look at the eyes of these soldiers, you will know: they have definitely killed anyone!

Dozens of people came back timidly.

Li Zhongxian spent so much effort to send these people to Jinxi, because he was really afraid of driving them out of the city, so someone went to report to the Japanese.

Wei Mingyang told them: "There are so many traitors in North China, and after leaving the Great Wall, there will only be more traitors.

Be sure to pay attention! Never let your own people be hurt."

The organization of the retreat of the people in the city this time was already the greatest kindness of Commander Li Zhongxian.

What he didn't expect was that his kindness was not rewarded!

There are few people in the city who are willing to leave.

This made Li Zhongxian stunned!

After all, he was a soldier. He was just polite before, and then he ordered: "Catch all the Japanese in the city!"

The soldiers who fought street fighting were very efficient in their work. They first divided the small Xingcheng into eight films, each with one battalion.
