For the Japanese, even if the preparation is thorough, the accident will still happen in due course, Yang Yuanzhao not only in this battle, noticed that Kawamura Jingming's artillery, before the artillery was deployed, aimed at the position of the artillery, the support firepower belonging to the division and regiment level had just begun to emerge, and the artillery in the northwest roared again, and the actions of the Japanese were actually all watched by the northwest, Zheng Chunyun, who was in charge of temporarily commanding the two divisions, was very clear about the weakness of the part of the division that blocked the Japanese army.

Unlike these Xiben troops on the Texas side, they are relatively strong in themselves, and it took several months to build positions, and they didn't worry about artillery from beginning to end, and the big deal was to break a little reinforced concrete.

But the outflanking troops are different, in order not to attract the attention of the Japanese army, those fortifications are buried with mud, to open, it takes time, plus every soldier, can only have time to build foxholes, do not have the role of the liaison road together to stand well, the strength to resist the artillery is quite poor, although 150 firepower points can, but a relatively wide distance, if the Japanese go all out, there will be a lot of Japanese troops running out, let the soldiers go, just to block them slightly, The real killer feature is still in the Texas direction.

Outside the city of Texas, while the Japanese retreated, the inside of the city wall, has quietly, there is a train of cars, almost 200 of them, different from the outside of the welded iron plate, this is the style of the wheeled infantry vehicles of later generations, of course, it is relatively shoddy, the frontal armor is only 12 mm thick, that is, 1.2 cm. It's just an iron car, which can withstand small arms at most. Maybe a 20mm cannon, or even a 12.7mm anti-aircraft gun. If you shoot it flat, you can pierce it.

At this time, the Japanese basically had nothing to deal with them, as long as they bypassed the densest craters, on the large plains of Shandong, the power of these weapons was amazing, and the Japanese at this time did not realize at all that danger had come.

When the cannonball is coming. The Japanese realized that they still underestimated the range of the artillery of the Northwest Army, and the range of the artillery of the heavy artillery wing that attacked them was now almost a third farther, that is, when they first attacked, the artillery was enough to cover the position of their entire army, even the rear army.

But at this moment. It was necessary to rush out, and if the greatest threat to him was in the direction of the frontal Texas, where the enemy forces were the most numerous. It is also the most powerful, and if the artillery and troops here rush up, they will not be able to escape. Since artillery does not work. Kawamura Jingming felt that he was taking advantage of the other party's unstable foothold. Under attack, knock down the opposing infantry.

Facts have proved that Kawamura Keiaki is still really a little late, the armored car has already roared, the distance of the battlefield is only a little more than five kilometers, the armored car on the battlefield, at a speed of about 30 kilometers, quickly crossing, sometimes you need to avoid craters, it will waste a little time, but at most 10 minutes, it is enough to cross, 10 minutes, that is, the first wave of Japanese troops, rushed to the position.

At this time, the Japanese army rushed to the rear of thousands of Northwest Army, which had been tested for a long time, and were basically the oldest batch of soldiers in the Northwest Army, with solemn expressions, worse than this, more powerful attacks, they all resisted, let alone this.

150 permanent fortifications across the position, enough to withstand the onslaught of the Japanese army, in this case, the trenches that have been built around have also come down to fight, and the rest, there is no further fortification, only a few are still in the foxhole, responsible for observation, the rest ran into the tunnel as a reserve. Their task is only to block the enemy, and did not let them block many time, just now, in Texas, the red signal flare, has risen into the sky, the time for the attack of the Northwest Army has arrived, they can even see through the telescope, in the passage of Texas outward, more than 200 black armored vehicles, is moving fast.

200 cars, lined up in a regular column, began to advance at a speed of 15 kilometers per hour, side by side, and soon crossed the open ground between Texas and the Japanese army, located on top of the armored car, three firing holes and 3 light machine guns, began to roar, like rice harvesters Japanese life.

All the mentality of the Japanese army was occupied by the fortifications behind them, they were bent on breaking through this defense and withdrawing from this damn battlefield, but unfortunately it backfired, the position protected by thousands of people, a solid mess, and the machine guns were also quite dense, most of the Japanese troops, almost on the way to the impact, fell, continuous losses, so that Kawamura Jingming was a little anxious, at this time, these armored cars behind him, as if stabbing at the heart, made him completely desperate.

The same hundreds of machine guns, unlike fortifications and trenches, have no way to move, those just need to avoid his firing range, but armored vehicles can move, even if the speed is very slow, but there is still a time to arrive.

There is almost a distance of 800 meters, the Japanese army found the traces of these armored vehicles, and before they could reflect it, on the firing holes of the armored vehicles, it has begun to wreak havoc, the northwest machine gun has an astonishing range of 1000 meters, so that the Japanese have nowhere to escape, the Japanese army was blinded, they did not expect it at all, this attack will be so fierce, to be honest, what a strong attack, the network of 600 machine guns, plus the non-stop raging of the rear artillery, 7 divisions are constantly compressed,

Kawamura Jingming was unwilling to organize several attacks, but these attacks were basically in vain, whether it was the permanent business in the rear, or the dealer car in front, it was not the Japanese army that had lost most of its heavy firepower to resist, in this era, the individual bazooka had not yet appeared, and the infantry had not been able to deal with armored vehicles except for rifles and machine guns, and armored vehicles had become an unsolvable proposition.

From the beginning to the end of this war, it only took 3 hours in the end, the Japanese army led by Kawamura Keiaki was not the previous standing division, all the Japanese soldiers, without a long period of training, maybe under the impetus of officers and low-level non-commissioned officers, they could rush forward, or they could, but in the face of such a steel monster, there was no way to deal with it, or they were not hungry to resist, and finally they could only choose to surrender.

Zheng Chunyun ordered his subordinates to go all out to capture prisoners, and it was a large-scale capture of prisoners, and in the end, 3 divisions of Japanese troops were captured, Kawamura Jingming committed suicide, and some once glorious senior officers, basically all committed suicide one by one, and the rest were all low-level officers and soldiers.

Kawamura Jingming couldn't take care of it at this time, and his death also represented the fuse for the destruction of the 9 divisions. The whole army of 9 divisions was annihilated, all of a sudden, so that the Japanese were blinded, for the strength of Kawamura Jingming, the headquarters of the Japanese army is quite convinced, whether it is the First Sino-Japanese War, or the Russo-Japanese War, Kawamura Jingming is regarded as outstanding in battle, but this is only a lot of time, a little more than a morning, 9 divisions, almost 300,000 Japanese troops, were wiped out, not even a little fireworks, even the first station in Shandong, Dezhou, is still firmly in the hands of the Northwest Army, not moving at all.

The Japanese base camp did not believe in this result, and continued to order the follow-up divisions to attack, the second and third batches, respectively, were 6 divisions, and the leaders were all highly decorated veterans, but they encountered such an iron wall in Texas, the rear bunkers and fortifications, after killing Kawamura Jingming, there was no way to continue to use it, and the Japanese would not be fooled again, so they relied on this to build a three-dimensional position, although the Japanese fierce attack, also learned the lesson of Kawamura Jingming's failure, but unfortunately the army's combat effectiveness, The level of training of the army, the range and power of artillery, the degree of flexible use of tactics, and even some logistical supplies and non-combat supplements, the Japanese army is very different from the northwest, after losing more than 20 divisions and more than 500,000 people, after that, Japan stopped the attack and began to think about whether it is necessary to attack Shandong, and hit the iron wall like Dezhou, when in the end?

Although with the help of the United States and so on, Japan has obtained more resources, weapons and money, and under the general mobilization of the country, it can also pull up a team of 2 million, but these soldiers who have not been trained and only have the most basic weapons are not opponents in the northwest at all.

Even if they no longer believe it in their hearts, the Japanese have already confirmed that the northwest has surpassed Japan in all aspects, especially in the direction of the army, and that the proud Japanese Army is not the opponent of the other side at all, and this is unacceptable to Japan.

It is difficult to accept, it does not mean that the Japanese are stupid and have been forcibly attacking troops that they are not opponents, and from looking at the current combat strength of the northwest and the proportion of losses between the two sides, we know that far above Japan, even if the 20 divisions and regiments that still exist, even the newly formed divisions and regiments in the country, are in the sky, it is impossible for them to be Japan's opponents.

The Japanese retreated one after another, and several rearguard divisions in the rear, he saw the opportunity too early, and they quickly retreated, leaving from Shandong, following Hebei, to Tianjin

It stands to reason that the Japanese could retreat from such a proposal, and the northwest had already been prepared, and Beiyang's surrender made everything logical, because to avoid being discovered by the Japanese, there was no force in the northwest that was mobilized on a large scale, but only replenished a part of the artillery and officers for Beiyang, and by the way, the artillery of the two warehouses in Beijing was used, and the Beiyang Army was therefore ready to fight the Japanese, and it was possible to follow up the troops of the soldiers stationed in Tianjin at any time......
