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

The artillery training is over.

The two Type 92 infantry guns and the ammunition were also handed over to Cui Renguo's team!

At the same time, four trucks were also handed over to the People's Army!

In the evening, Yin Xinjun invited all the students to have a meal together, and he even arranged for someone to buy a few pigs!

The pigs bought here are black and thin, and the two together weigh less than 100 kilograms! However, they are all pure local pork!

Eat and drink

Yin Xinjun and Cui Renguo reviewed the battle plan for tomorrow's siege of Xinyang County!

The two sides agreed that the troops would set out after lunch and start the attack at 5 pm! This was also necessary to prevent Japanese air raids.

Before leaving, Yin Xinjun took out a handful of North Korean banknotes and gave them to Cui Renguo.

This surprised and touched Cui Renguo.

Little did he know that Yin Xinjun conducted reconnaissance activities towards the east and west sides every night and had already robbed more than a dozen villages and towns!

Cui Renguo thanked him profusely and left.

Yin Xinjun sat on the chair, thinking about tomorrow's battle.

According to Cui Renguo's intelligence, in addition to the garrison and military police, the Japanese troops in Xinyang County also had a cavalry squadron, totaling about 300 people.

And now, in just a few days, the People's Army has expanded to 600 people in Yanshe County. With the addition of Tang Yantian's small team, they are fully capable of fighting!

However, in order to ensure that everything goes well, Yin Xinjun thinks it would be safer to go there in person!

Xinyang County was only 50 kilometers away from his residence. Yin Xinjun drove an armored vehicle and arrived here in two hours!

Since it was already past 10 o'clock in the evening, the county town was already completely dark.

Based on his experience, Yin Xinjun was looking for a place with bright light!

He soon found a Japanese army camp in the southeast corner of the town.

Yin Xinjun approached the barracks and overheard the breathing sounds of more than 1000 people. He secretly thanked his luck that he had come here in person for reconnaissance. The Japanese must have reinforced their troops, and perhaps they had arrived here today!

There is no reason not to eat the meat that is delivered to your door.

Retreat to 5 kilometers away.

After Yin Xinjun set up the 150-meter heavy artillery, he bombarded the barracks for an hour. This was the limit of his physical strength!

After bombing the barracks, he did not choose to leave, but moved to the south of Xinyang County for reconnaissance.

As he walked, he used a telescope to observe the effects of the bombardment, but unfortunately he couldn't see clearly because it was too far away!

After circling Xinyang County again, he left here and returned to the base!

Xinyang County,

North of the city,

Japanese cavalry squadron camp,

The battalion commander, Major Chiaki Kawakami, whose face was blackened by the smoke, was still in shock.

Last night's bombardment,

He is lucky.

After being awakened by the sound of artillery fire, he opened the door to see what was going on. A shell exploded more than 50 meters away from him, and he was knocked to the ground.

The adjutant and the personal guard carried him at all costs and quickly escaped from that hell!

Most of the entire brigade was wiped out, and only more than 300 people escaped!

Chiaki Kawakami immediately called and reported to the division commander Hata Shigeichi, and repeatedly emphasized that the enemy was strong and it was not something that could be solved by one or two battalions!

Hata Shigekazu ordered him to hold on and wait for help, and instructed him to hold out for at least three days!

North Korea's railway lines are distributed in the east and west coastal port areas. In the inland plateau and mountainous areas, the transportation of troops still depends on roads, and the efficiency is naturally very low in winter!

This almost made Chiaki Kawakami collapse!

The cavalry captain Yuichiro Okazaki comforted him,

"Major, we still have several hundred people. Xinyang County has strong bunkers and fortifications. We have sufficient food and ammunition. We will definitely have no problem defending for three days!"

Kato Chiaki knew that the enemy had large-caliber heavy artillery, and these so-called fortifications were simply rubble under the bombardment of heavy artillery.

All day long,

Kato Chiaki was trembling with fear waiting for the opponent's attack until the afternoon, near dusk, when he fell into a deep sleep because he was too tired!

unfortunately,

He hadn't slept long.

The huge explosion woke him up again!

One artillery shell after another hit the barracks directly!

One and a half kilometers away,

A 75mm mountain gun and two 92mm infantry guns formed a simple artillery position.

Yin Xinjun, Cui Renguo and others stood on a high place, closely watching the effects of the shelling through binoculars!

Looking at the flames rising from the Japanese camp, Cui Renguo clapped his hands and shouted excitedly,

Today is the first actual combat of the People's Army artillery.

The young men worked extremely hard and kept carrying the shells!

Yin Xinjun took out a cigarette and handed one to Cui Renguo.

"Is it fun?"

"Alas, Lord of Hell, this is the first time for me, a grown-up girl, to get married. Haha!"

"After the shelling stops, don't run around, just follow the tank!"

Yin Xinjun ordered,

Before the shelling, he conducted another reconnaissance and found that the military camp in the north of the city had the most Japanese troops.

After destroying this military camp, all that will be left are the remnants of the defeated army!

Beep, the charge whistle sounded!

Tang Yantian's chariot was still the first to rush forward.

The three chariots were in a triangular shape.

Next came 10 trucks, each equipped with a Type 96 light machine gun!

Following behind were hundreds of People's Army soldiers!

When they were two hundred meters away from the barracks,

The two light tanks started firing at the barracks as they drove.

There is no wall outside this barracks, but a circle of barbed wire. Many of the houses inside the barracks have collapsed, and raging fires are burning everywhere!

The charging infantry followed closely behind the tanks.

All the trucks stopped, but the machine guns on them continued to fire indiscriminately, providing fire cover for the charging troops!

Tang Yantian's tank quickly reached the edge of the barbed wire, easily knocked over a large section of the barbed wire, and rolled over it, forming a gap about 5 meters wide!

In the ruins, there was a sudden sound of machine gun fire, and at the gap, more than a dozen People's Army soldiers were shot and fell!

Two People's Army soldiers immediately set up their grenade launchers.

More than a dozen grenades were fired at the Japanese firepower point!

The machine gun was soon silenced!

The tanks opened two gaps but did not go any deeper. For safety reasons, they continued to provide fire cover.

The soldiers of the People's Army swarmed in through the two gaps!

Yin Xinjun served as an infantryman for a while.

However, he did not charge with the main force.

Instead, advance along the left wing!

It was completely dark.

He stopped from time to time to set up the mortar and fire a few rounds.

As long as he hears someone speaking Japanese, he will attack indiscriminately!

Although there is a possibility of accidentally injuring civilians,

However, when it comes to war, this is simply unavoidable!

Chiaki Kawakami commanded the remaining troops to retreat into the city and started street fighting!
