Traveling through 1937, I came to fight against the Kwantung Army

Heixiazigou,

Quiet morning,

Suddenly, the roar of an airplane engine was heard in the air.

A dozen Japanese fighter planes roared past, breaking the silence of the valley. Their target was the Anti-Japanese United Army position in Heixiazigou.

The planes quickly dropped in altitude and dived toward the mountain peaks. The pilots skillfully operated the planes, adjusting their flight attitudes and preparing for bombing and strafing.

In an instant, the bombs on the planes rained down and exploded on the mountain peaks. The huge explosions were deafening, and the mountain peaks were suddenly filled with flames and thick smoke. The bombs were so powerful that they shattered the rocks and trees on the mountain peaks, and the mountain itself began to tremble.

Then, the machine guns on the plane began to fire, and dense bullets poured towards the mountain position like tongues of fire.

The Anti-Japanese Allied Forces soldiers dodged the bullet attacks in fear, but many of them were still hit and fell in a pool of blood.

After the air raid!

Immediately afterwards, hundreds of Japanese troops launched attacks on the hillsides on both sides at the same time!

The location of the ditch,

More than ten tanks and armored vehicles, covering more than a thousand Japanese troops, also began to rush in!

The fierce battle has begun again!

The Japanese bombing had just stopped when Chen Hanzhang, who was in charge of the defense of the ditch, led the Second Regiment of the Fifth Army out of the woods and quickly entered the blocking position!

The tanks rushed into the Heixiazi Valley with great confidence.

Looking at the tanks approaching,

Chen Hanzhang gave the order to open fire!

In the woods on the side,

A Type 92 infantry gun hidden in the bushes began to slowly move its muzzle.

This gun is deployed on the flank!

To attack a tank, you have to attack the side armor because the armor there is thin!

With a bang,

The armor-piercing bullet flew out of the barrel.

It hit the flank of a Type 96 medium tank hard, tearing a hole in the armored side plate, and smashed into it. The shell exploded inside the tank!

The tank's turret shook violently, emitted several puffs of thick black smoke, and then was completely paralyzed!

In the pit of Heixiazigou, Li Yanping, deputy commander of the Fourth Army, ordered full fire to stop the Japanese attack with all his strength!

on the hill,

At the entrance of a hole,

Several soldiers brought out a heavy machine gun and pointed it at the Japanese soldiers charging in the ravine.

Amid the roar of gunfire, the Japanese soldiers were suddenly attacked from the side and above, and fell to the ground one after another!

A tank finally spotted the infantry gun on the flank and slowly moved its turret.

With a loud bang, the wheels of the infantry gun were blown into the air, and several soldiers fell in a pool of blood!

In the trenches,

Shang Xizi, a soldier of the Second Company,

He was silently tying up his cluster grenades. He tied four long-handled grenades together with a thin rope. This kind of long-handled grenade was not easy to get, and only some puppet troops had it!

Among the batch of ammunition that Yan Wang sent yesterday, there were actually two boxes of long-handled grenades, all of which were distributed to their regiment!

He looked at the enemy tanks with a mixture of rage and determination.

He knew that only by destroying these tanks could he buy more time and opportunities for his comrades.

Xizi quickly picked up the grenade and rushed towards the enemy tank, dodging the enemy's bullets flexibly and approaching the tank step by step.

When he was approaching the tank, a bullet hit his abdomen and Shang Xizi fell down. He endured the severe pain and continued to crawl towards the tank, leaving a trail of blood behind him!

When the tank passed by, he jumped up without hesitation and threw himself towards the tank tracks with the cluster grenade!

A huge explosion sounded, flames shot into the sky, and the Japanese tanks were paralyzed in an instant!

From the hillside to the ditch mouth, fierce battles are everywhere!

Chen Hanzhang called for artillery support again, he knew that the howitzer did not have many shells left!

Sure enough, the shelling stopped after less than two minutes!

Daniel's artillery unit only had ten shells left for each gun! After this round of shelling, there were only five shells left!

But the Japanese army could not hold on any longer, and with heavy casualties they retreated in a panic!

In the evening, Kang Huaifu wrote in his battlefield diary:

"Today, the Pingdingshan position has repelled the Japanese attack seven times. A total of 7 soldiers from the fifth and sixth companies in the pit were killed and 53 were injured. We plan to add 22 soldiers to the pit tonight!"

Jiapigou,

Wang Wenfan's Seventh Division,

During dinner, each soldier was given half a bowl of wine! This was a farewell drink before the battle!

Since there were too few trucks, only 12, all were allocated to the first team. They and the only tank had already set off first!

The soldiers all lined up and stood in front of the carriages. There were 17 carriages assigned to the Sixth Squadron! They also had to carry ammunition, so they could only carry less than a hundred people.

What to do with the rest? Housekeeping!

This is Yin Xinjun’s order. If we run there on foot, the battle will probably be over long ago!

Yin Xinjun, who was sitting in the driver's seat, was driving the tank at a speed of 25 kilometers per hour, and this was still to take care of the truck behind him.

When driving on bad roads at night, the truck can’t get any faster!

They also passed through two small towns along the way. In one of the towns, there was a bunker, which was also destroyed by three shots from the tank gun!

However, this made Yin Xinjun inexplicably irritated.

As the size of the team grows, especially after being equipped with tanks and trucks, they can make a huge presence wherever they go. It becomes really difficult to carry out surprise attacks stealthily!

After nearly three hours of marching, at around 9 o'clock in the evening, Yin Xinjun led the vanguard troops to the outskirts of Antu County!

He got out of the car first and handed over the driving rights of the tank to others. The armor of the Japanese tanks was still too thin. After all, they were not the German Panther and Tiger tanks.

In Yin Xinjun's opinion, the risk is still very high and it is far less safe than for him to act alone!

Yin Xinjun got off the car and quietly went to the hillside near the southwest railway station of the county town!

Antu County is located in the hinterland of the Changbai Mountains, and the county seat is surrounded by high mountains and dense forests.

At 10:35, all the teams had arrived at the attack position. Wang Wenfan's unit was responsible for attacking the Japanese garrison in the northwest corner of the county!

Before setting off, he got a map of the Japanese army distribution in the county! This was a rough map hand-drawn by Yin Xinjun.

However, the main fortifications of the Japanese army in the county and the approximate distribution of their numbers were marked!

Wang Wenfan led his men in an ambush about 300 meters away from the Japanese garrison compound!

They have already spread around the yard and formed a siege!

According to the drawings, there were about 40-50 Japanese soldiers in the yard. The main fortification consisted of a three-story building with two rows of bungalows on the west side!

A green flare flew into the air, followed by a series of artillery fire and explosions!

Wang Wenfan knew that the general attack had begun!

However, he did not order an immediate attack, but instead ordered his subordinates to wait for the opportunity!

The gate of the courtyard is on the south side.

Wang Wenfan concentrated 4 light machine guns, 1 heavy machine gun, and 8 grenade launchers, all pointing at the south gate!
