In fact, Zhang Chi found out at the first time that Hosokawa Tadayasu had underestimated the enemy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"The Japanese army will hope to take advantage of the riots of the people to kill in, and its intention is to rush into the city as soon as possible to fight with us in the streets!" Zhang Chi said: "In other words, the devils think that they can easily break through the defense line of our army......"

The fellow townsman looked at Zhang Chi with some incredulity: "The meaning of the master seat is ...... The battle has been fought to this point, the devil or the dog looks down on people? No way! ”

"I think it's possible!" Staff Officer Liang said: "These devils were transferred back from the Manchurian-Mongolian border, and they may have some combat effectiveness, and it is normal to look down on people!" ”

The fellow villagers couldn't help laughing when they heard this: "That feeling is good, let's give the devil a little bit of power!" ”

"Go to ......" Staff Officer Liang raised his head at his fellow villagers: "Do you know how to give devils a good look?" ”

"That's not easy...... the townsman replied, "It's a mule or a horse that comes out for a walk, don't you know if you come up to fight for a while?" ”

Staff Officer Liang replied angrily: "According to your way of playing, isn't that a clear way to tell the devils our strength, and then let them prepare again?" ”

"This ......" Hearing this, the fellow villager couldn't help but touch his head: "Then what should I do?" ”

"Master, look at ......" Staff Officer Liang looked at Zhang Chi.

"Put the devil in and fight!" After thinking about it, Zhang Chi pointed to the map and said, "We have built two lines of defense outside the city and the 'research institute'...... Since the devil underestimated the enemy, he just set a trap for them to jump, pass the order down, and retreat after a little resistance from the two outer lines of defense, waiting for the enemy to come in...... At that time, the counteroffensive was launched from both flanks based on the city and the 'research institute' respectively! ”

"Yes!" Fellow villagers and staff officers responded to the call.

Then the Japanese army launched an attack on the positions of the expeditionary force.

The 53rd Brigade of the Japanese Army launched the attack, and the two wings under its jurisdiction launched an attack on the urban area and the "Research Institute" respectively, of which the 232nd Wing attacked the Qiqihar City and the 233rd Wing attacked the "Research Institute".

(Note: The 59th Division of the Japanese Army has 53 and 54 brigades under its jurisdiction, and each infantry brigade has two infantry wings)

In fact, the 59th Division of the Japanese Army also had a tank wing...... After all, it was a division stationed on the Manchurian-Mongolian border to resist the Soviet Union, and there were no tanks that could deal with the overwhelming Soviet tanks. This was recognized by the Japanese army in the Battle of Nomenkan, so no matter how hard the Japanese army worked in the Pacific Theater and the Chinese Theater, these divisions and regiments of the Japanese army on the Manchurian-Mongolian border would be equipped with a tank wing and anti-tank weapons without exception.

Of course, these anti-tanks are also limited to things like anti-tank guns and magnetic mines.

It's just that the tanks are relatively slow, and there are Chinese army fighters harassing along the way...... Tanks are very expensive to the Japanese army, and on the other hand, the armor of Japanese tanks really can't withstand the strafing and bombing of fighters, especially strafing...... Under normal circumstances, the air power of attacking tanks should be better than bombers, bombers can drop bombs, and fighters will often be blocked by tank armor when they hit a string of bullets, which will not play a big role.

However, against Japanese tanks it was the opposite...... The bomber could not carry a few bombs, so the number of attacks was very limited, on the contrary, the combat effectiveness, the machine gun bullets were much more than the bombs, and when the tank was seen, a row of bullets would smoke when one dive. Although it may not be able to destroy or blow it up, it will definitely not work on the battlefield, and these tanks don't even look like anything from the outside, and the tank crew, meters, and the like inside have been messed up......

This is due to the secondary damage of the bullet, after the bullet penetrates the armor, it rolls in the tank compartment and even rebounds, so a string of bullets comes down, and the tank crew hiding inside is called miserable...... It's like unloading eight pieces.

However, the human side is nothing, casualties are never a big deal for the Japanese army, and it is worse to ...... The mechanic came up to check, either the engine was shot or the fuel tank was pierced, and it was absolutely impossible to move without repair.

No way, who made the armor of the Japanese tanks thin?

Therefore, the Japanese tanks only marched at night, and did not dare to rise at all during the day, so they fell far behind the ranks.

Hosokawa Tadayasu is under the idea of underestimating the enemy, where will he wait for what chariot wing...... At the sound of the order, two infantry wings surrounded it.

Zhang Chi slowly raised his head in the trench and looked out with a telescope, only to see a black and oppressive Japanese army outside, holding a bayonet in his hand and looking colder and colder under the reflection of the snow.

These Japanese soldiers were cautious at first, sometimes bending over and trotting, sometimes hiding in bomb craters, and when they found that there was almost no resistance from the direction of the Chinese army, they became more and more bold and faster.

Gunfire rang out when the two armies were about 400 meters apart...... This is common sense in the battle with the Japanese army, the Japanese army has a very terrible weapon called "grenadier", the range of this thing is about 200 meters, each squad of Japanese troops is equipped with two, so many grenadiers if they fire at the same time and throw a grenade, it is basically nothing can stop.

The soldiers of the new 1st Division have dealt with devils a lot, and they know it very well...... To deal with the grenadiers, either they were suppressed with powerful artillery fire like the American army, or they did not let the Japanese get closer to 200 meters, otherwise, a grenade smashed over, and the Japanese then launched a bayonet charge...... Even if it can be stopped, it will have to suffer heavy casualties.

As soon as the expeditionary force opened fire, the dense bullets immediately crushed the Japanese troops to the ground, and then more than ten shells exploded one after another in the Japanese army...... The soldiers of the expeditionary force are all veterans, and the marksmanship is fed with bullets, so this shot knows whether there is one, and the Japanese soldiers who are charging have fallen more than 100 people in just a moment.

This made Hosokawa Tadayasu, who was watching the battle with a telescope outside the field, couldn't help but be surprised, such strong firepower and such accurate marksmanship...... There are only more than 3,000 people in a wing, and if it continues like this, it won't be wiped out in half a day?!

In fact, the expeditionary force still hid its strength at this time: only one of the two machine guns was fighting, and only one of the three mortars was firing, but even this made Hosokawa Tadayasu feel that the combat effectiveness of the army in front of him was beyond his imagination.

But Hosokawa Tadayasu was already difficult to ride a tiger at this time, and retreating at this time was not only a slap in the face to himself, but also very likely to reduce the morale of the troops, so Hosokawa Tadayasu had to grit his teeth and ordered: "Attack with all your might!" ”
