Chapter 315: Defend Shanhaiguan

"What kind of weapon are they using?" When the fourth Type 95 Douding tank was blown up, Yoshino Yoshida couldn't help but shout with a sad face.

In the nearby building, five flashes of screeching flames flashed, and the four tanks were gone. The triumph at entering the station just now flew into the sky with the debris of those tanks. It is possible to attack a 200 mm thick bazooka against armor that is only 6-12 mm thick, which is like a toy that pokes papier.

The other two were hesitating at this time, and the cover of the pit at an intersection in front of them was gently removed, and an iron fist poked out of the tunnel, and the distance of about 30 meters was just right for the play of the iron fist.

"Boom!" Another flame burst on the peew cart.

"Ahh Without waiting for Yoshino Yoda to shout an order, the remaining tank had already pushed away the fragments of another burning tank and quickly retreated. There is a purely passive beating, and there is a lot of equipment in the surrounding buildings, and even the parked train cars can shoot that kind of strange shells.

"Withdraw!" Matsushita Heifumi pondered for a moment and ordered. The bullets of the paratroopers chased after each other for a while, but more than 30 people quickly retreated.

"They have a new shoulder-mounted weapon that can easily blow up a chariot. If it is used against the tanks of the Russians, it can level the gap between our armored strength and that of the Russians. "Matsushita Heifumi immediately reported to Major General Taro Katayama, the commander of the 15th Brigade Regiment commanded in the rear. This time, the 16th Wing came over, and he led it directly, because he was accompanied by the 3rd Field Artillery Brigade. Only one of the 15th Brigade remained, and the 30th Wing was under the direct jurisdiction of the 2nd Division in Harbin.

"Wait where you are." Katayama Keutaro ordered directly.

The 16th Wing, which had picked up its speed, soon had another half of the brigade, and the rest of the troops were still on their way.

"They don't have many people, only two or three hundred, but they have a lot of firepower, machine guns and that new weapon!"

"Gotta get that weapon! Don't use artillery anymore, charge with infantry first, and strive to capture a complete sample! "Katayama Keitaro took over the command directly. For fear that the weapon would be destroyed by artillery fire, none of the four Type 92 105-mm cannons that came with the team were used.

"The casualties will be very large!" Matsushita didn't say this, he knew that compared to the new weapon that might change the balance of strength between the Kwantung Army and Soviet Russia, this soldier's surname was not worth mentioning, since Katayama said that the infantry charge, not the artillery bombardment. It seems that he doesn't particularly care about seizing Shanhaiguan. According to his previous description, Katayama's attention had been drawn to the magical weapon.

Meng Xiang still underestimated his huge interest in this weapon. Of course, their target was not the vanguard army, but Soviet Russia in the north. The Kwantung Army has been paying attention to the movements of the Soviet Russian Far Eastern Army all the time, and the Kwantung Army has always been very jealous of the tank strength of the Soviet Russian Far Eastern Army.

How could they not be fascinated by such a lightweight, one-man weapon that could destroy a tank at this time?

"Vehicles are out together, keep an eye out for their new weapons!" Katayama said coldly. Send tanks at this time, and they are likely to be destroyed one by one by an iron fist. But for the sake of the new weapon, it was all worth it.

"Why did their tanks come up again? Haven't they suffered enough? Yang Guanchen, commander of the first battalion of the parachute regiment, couldn't help but wonder.

"I just received the information that the devil's large army of reinforcements has come up. This time, the number of soldiers who attacked was noticeably much higher. And their artillery also came up, it was four Type 92 cannon heavy guns, I have seen the information of this kind of gun, its range can reach more than 18 kilometers. Probably the longest-range artillery gun of about 100 caliber now. Lu Chuanxiao, a staff officer of the regiment, said.

He rolled his eyebrows and said, "We can't stop this kind of cannon, but why don't they use artillery?" ”

The charge of the devils outside began, and the first charge was a team and a half of more than a thousand people who were present at the scene, and in front of them were the poor seven tanks.

"Boom! Rumble! There were two loud bangs in a row, and in full view of everyone, two Peas were destroyed again. This time it was the bombardment of the RP-54 bazooka, mainly because there were too many infantry from the devil and they couldn't get through, so they had to use the RP-54 with a long attack distance.

"It's really powerful!" Katayama Sentaro has been observing from the front line with a telescope.

"Two people, single shoulder, attack range of more than 100 meters, barrel launch, much like a recoilless gun, but definitely not. Flames erupted from behind as they went. "Katayama Shotaro synthesized the information that had been gathered. At this time, the caliber of the recoilless gun was already more than 76.2 mm, but if the recoilless gun wanted to increase its power, it had to increase the amount of charge, which needed to reach at least 4 times the charge of an ordinary gun of the same power, and it was not as light as that weapon.

He looked at the sketches drawn by his staff officers, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that this weapon was suitable.

"After ordering the brigade behind to come, they rushed up directly, and they had to take them down in one go, and pay attention to the new weapons that must be found." After hearing that another brigade had arrived, Taro Katayama said with a happy face.

"The devil's attack is too fierce, wave after wave, and it doesn't stop. The first front has been lost, and the second front is also in jeopardy. Yang Guanchen looked at the situation reported by various parts and said, "The ammunition consumption in various places is very large, and the ammunition has been exhausted in several places, and the casualties are very large. There is no news of reinforcements, but a giant transport plane has landed, and as long as we hold on for a while, the replenished ammunition will arrive. ”

"Their artillery hasn't moved yet!" Lu Chuanxiao said with a frown. The shortcomings of the weak firepower of the paratrooper detachment were exposed at once. If it is an ordinary battalion of the vanguard army, not only machine guns and somi, but also large-caliber machine guns, mortars and mountain artillery, it is enough to easily deal with a brigade of devils.

But the paratrooper battalion was already small in number and weak in firepower. can only rely on the terrain around the train station, and constantly insist on defense.

"I don't care if the hell cannons are fired, since we have arrived at this place, even if we hit the last person, we will never back down!" Yang Guanchen patted his bald head before going out and said angrily.

"Shanhaiguan, the Great Wall, belongs to the Chinese man, today we will shed the blood here, and use our bones to pour a new Great Wall here!" Yang Guanchen stood on the platform of the train and shouted at the last reserve of more than sixty people. The front is in a hurry, the support weapons in the rear are almost there, this is the most critical time, it is time to send out reservists.

"The casualties are too great! There are already more than five hundred people. In just a short burst of continuous attacks, so many soldiers fell, which made Matsushita Pingwen grin in distress, and the seven tanks in front had been destroyed by five of them. Although two of the Vanguard soldiers who shot were killed, the Iron Fist was taken away, frustrating the attempts of the Devils who rushed through. Under the attack of the machine gun positions formed around the perimeter and Suomy, the devils who rushed forward fell in large numbers.

"I know what they're trying to do!" Lu Chuanxiao was lying in a ditch that had been temporarily deepened, and the telescope had been shattered by the devil's marksman. But just now, the scene of many devils going to grab the iron fist was seen by him.

"They're coming for the Iron Fist." Lu Chuanxiao clenched his fists and said. The bazookas equipped by the vanguard army are also the name of Iron Fist, which is simple and easy to understand.

"Captain Ji, the devil plans to snatch the iron fist, to protect every iron fist, and must not be taken away by the devil. Used canisters must be destroyed. Lu Chuanxiao hurriedly found Feng Liudao, who had arranged a fourth defensive front behind a locomotive.

"The devil wants to come and grab the Iron Fist? The little devil is really shrewd, and he immediately took a fancy to the advantages of the simplicity of the iron fist. I didn't even need to put the artillery, which can be regarded as leaving us some time! In the future, intelligence outside the SAR must be strengthened. Meng Xiang said solemnly.

If it weren't for the devil's eagerness to get a complete iron fist, with these four cannon heavy guns and half a wing of devils, the casualties of the first battalion of paratroopers would be even greater, and maybe the whole army would be wiped out.

"This Katayama's approach is not wrong, if they really get a sample of the Iron Fist, maybe they will be able to equip it themselves within two years. Then our tanks will be passive. Fan Chong also vaguely persuaded beside him. He didn't know that the weapons at the base were constantly risking more advanced weapons.

"I'll take notice! After this trial, it will not be used in the danger zone for the time being. Avoid this kind of weapon being stolen by myself! Meng Xiang still didn't care a little in his heart, after all, the Germans had produced eight million iron fists in more than three years, and they still didn't stop the tanks of Soviet Russia.

The short range of the Iron Fist is destined to be less useful on the regular battlefield, which is one of the reasons why the Germans looked down on it at first, and the roar of the artillery on the battlefield is the wrath of the king. Even if it touches a tank, the tank relies on group combat, and the iron flow of the tank army rushes over, even if the iron fist is powerful, it can't stop it.

After the emergence of anti-tank missiles in later generations, they could not stop the surging torrent of steel.

However, in narrow areas such as urban warfare, the iron fist still exerts great power, and the simplicity of the operation also makes it suitable for all ages, and all people can be soldiers.

Although Meng Xiang has long been aware of the problem of secrecy, each launcher must be recovered and destroyed in a centralized manner. However, it is impossible to recover all of them in the heat of battle, and even if there is the practice of blowing up the key parts of the launch with grenades in an emergency, there is no way to prevent accidents. If he is said to be cheap by someone with strong imitation ability, Meng Xiang will not be reconciled.

"If I am determined to research, I will probably have a finished product within a year or two with a sample. Although at that time, the vanguard army will become stronger, and it will not send tanks to engage in street battles that are not suitable for them to fight, but now that the tanks of the vanguard army can beat the devils to the ground, it is always bad to make trouble for themselves. ”

"Boom, boom!" The ZIS-3 cannon supported by the vanguard army fired from a distance first, but this gave a new target to the four 105 cannons that the devil had been waiting for a long time. There is nothing to be afraid of shelling the artillery positions of the Vanguard. The heavy artillery positions of the devils arranged in the distance also opened fire.

"Their artillery firing ranges a lot, more than ten kilometers!" The leader of the devil's artillery squadron, Nanyuan Tianxin, was a little surprised, seeing that the caliber of the artillery of the vanguard army was about 75 mm, and the firing distance was so far. But the location where the devil artillery was placed was much further back, and there was not much threat to them. Even if you hit it, you don't have much accuracy.

Although the bombardment of one ZIS-3 cannon did not pose much threat to the devil's artillery, it played a somewhat interfering role, and the other three guns began to bombard the devil's infantry position. Although the cannon is not as effective as the howitzer in this regard, the ZIS-3 is good at direct fire. With the addition of three rapid-fire guns, combined with the bombardment of 45 mortars, the defensive pressure of the paratroopers was greatly relieved.

"Workers, people, this is our home, here is our home. Today, our Huaxia team is back, and we don't have to suffer from the little devils anymore. Zhu Tingwen stood on a high platform outside the station and shouted loudly to the many people surrounding below. Although most of the local people were hiding, many people of all kinds who had left and entered the customs were stranded nearby. They have nowhere to escape, and other places are also places for devils, so it is better to wait for the devils to come, and destroy the fortune and eliminate the disaster.

"The devil is pressing forward step by step, and the soldiers of the vanguard army in front are stubbornly defending. They are fighting in front, what are we doing? Are we just watching numbly? Looking at the Shanhaiguan, the first Xiongguan of the Great Wall, which was left to us by our ancestors, fell into the hands of little devils? Watching the little devils occupy our villages and towns again, forcing us to pay the harsh taxes that have ruined countless families? And to watch them break into our homes, take our belongings, and defile our sisters, wives and daughters? And to watch them force us and our children and grandchildren to bow and bend their knees every time they see them? No! Never! I don't want my children and grandchildren to stand under the plaster banner when I am old and ask me if I have contributed to the country and protected our family back then! Today, I'll pick up a knife and gun and fight with the devil! I went to the earth and saw my fathers and fathers, and I was glorified. Which of you is a gentleman, and which one is a man from China, come with me to the front line to kill devils! ”

Zhu Tingwen jumped off the high platform with a Type 38 rifle as he spoke, and went straight to the position of the vanguard army without looking back.

"I'll go! Outside the gate, you want to talk about ghosts, this fucking is going to destroy our species. Seeing my son's mouthful of devils, I wanted to slap him in the face. But that was forced by the situation, and I also fought today, just for my son to stop speaking bird language, I also have to fight. A man from outside the border shouted and followed with a flat pole.

"The land at home is forced to grow opium, and I can't get much money from planting opium, but I have been taken away by the little devils to harm people. Hurt others and hurt myself, the eldest and second in my family all sucked that thing, and the family was ruined. I'm going to go into the coffin, and there is no one to support the elderly, and today I also fought with the little devil. A white-haired shoemaker staggered with a needle and awl and followed.

"I haven't been in the barracks since I ran out of the Peking camp, and today we will fight with the devils at this juncture with the vanguard army." A black man walked out.

"Okay, even if you go to fight devils, I will still pay for your bodyguard!" A fat businessman shouted, "These days, everything outside and inside the customs has become my own, and it is becoming more and more difficult to do business!" ”

"If nothing else, I have to fight with the devil for a full meal. After a busy year, but I can't eat the food in the field I grow, and the rice and flour are restricted, is this fucking human life? The vanguard is here. I heard that in the places under the management of the vanguard army, there is no grain for farming, and white-collar workers will not starve to death for food. I was going to Shandong, but since the vanguard army has come here, maybe there will be no food here. In order to have a full meal at home, I also fought hard today! A black man lifted up the pole he was holding and followed.

"The vanguard army is coming, and there is no food!" Bursts of shouts rang out, and more and more people followed behind Zhu Tingwen.

Rushing over directly like this is definitely not helpful, Lu Chuanxiao hurriedly led people to organize them, responsible for helping to transport materials and build a line of defense.

It is normal for people who walk outside the gate to encounter bandits and beasts, and it is normal for them to be able to shoot, and in the hands of these people, there are even more than 60 middle-aged and young men who are quite skilled in shooting. The more than 50 intact 38 rifles collected by the vanguard army were piled up there, and there was a lot of ammunition, and they originally planned to wait until the ammunition was insufficient to change their equipment, but at this time, with these new forces, they were directly equipped. More than a dozen of the excellent submachine guns were directly used by the Vanguard Army, and three of them even knew how to fire machine guns.

These people need a short training, otherwise they will be easily killed by the veterans of the devils, who will be used as the last reserve.

"Keep rushing!" Another brigade of the devils finally arrived at Daliuzhuang outside the gate, and Taro Katayama directly ordered them to charge, despite their fatigue from a distance, and the tenacity of the vanguard army was beyond his expectations.

"Come on! Little devil! Mu Zhuzhu held up an MG-42 machine gun and led his team to kill from the side. The machine-gun fire made his body shake constantly, but the bullets still entered the devil army that was rushing to the station like ants on the opposite side.

The Shanhaiguan Pass is obviously easy to defend, and the devils are mainly attacking the station. So, after clearing the devils in the city, the first brigade on the side of Guancheng sent a squadron to support.
