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

Its daybreak,

On the road from Mudanjiang to Ning'an,

They were all Japanese soldiers!

They lined up in three columns and rushed towards Wenchun Town fiercely!

About two kilometers from the town,

The Japanese troops stopped.

They began to set up 75mm field guns,

Colonel Katsushiro Kuwaze, commander of the 14th Infantry Regiment of the 12th Division, was carefully observing the situation in the town through a telescope.

It was completely silent, not even a single person could be seen!

He felt a little strange.

"Sir, the artillery unit is ready!"

A Japanese officer ran up to him.

"Let's start with 10 minutes of indiscriminate rapid fire!"

Katsushiro Kuwaze gave orders loudly!

"Hayi!"

Fire reconnaissance is a tactic often used by the Japanese army!

The sound of cannons rang out.

One by one they fell into the town,

Explosions continued to sound in the town, and soon flames shot up into the sky!

Kuwaze Katsushiro observed again and gave the order.

"First Battalion, attack immediately!"

The 8th Company of Kang Huaifu's troops defended the town.

Their defensive position was not in the town, but on the outskirts!

After taking the town early this morning, Company Commander Deng Hui arranged for the soldiers to dig two defensive fortifications!

The soldiers were lying in the trenches, looking nervously ahead.

Light machine gunner Meng Fanlin bit his lip, his hand on the trigger shaking non-stop. He was not afraid, but more excited!

Because he was a Manchurian Army last night, but he changed his allegiance today!

The enemy was in scattered formation, only 100 meters away.

He could clearly hear the shouts from the Japanese soldiers.

With a bang, a gunshot rang out, and a Japanese officer walking in front was shot in the chest and fell to the ground!

The sound of the gun was an order, and Meng Fanlin pulled the trigger hard.

Da da da! A string of fire burst out from the muzzle.

He quickly finished a magazine, and seeing the Japanese soldiers in front of him falling down in large numbers, Meng Fanlin felt extremely relieved. He sat down, unloaded the empty magazine, took the full magazine handed to him by the assistant gunner, and loaded it!

Dada, dada, dada,

After firing three magazines, Meng Fanlin's machine gun began to fire in bursts.

Rows of grenades exploded in the Japanese ranks, smoke filled the air, and all the Japanese soldiers were lying on the ground.

In the smoke, several panicked Japanese soldiers suddenly stood up and turned to flee.

This made Meng Fanlin feel very funny. It was the first time he had seen such a scene.

However, he didn't have time to think about it, he just turned the gun and shot at the running Japanese soldiers!

More and more Japanese troops began to turn around and retreat, returning in a panic.

The Japanese army's first attack failed!

Katsushiro Kuwaye was furious and ordered the artillery to fire again!

Cover the positions outside the town!

1 hours later,

The Japanese army gathered more than 1000 people and divided into three directions to launch another fierce attack on the town!

A group of puppet Manchurian troops on the right wing, about 300 cavalrymen, quietly moved towards the town from the flank, intending to outflank the rear.

This is also the most commonly used tactic of the Japanese army!

This group of puppet cavalry was about 500 meters away from the town.

Suddenly, with a loud bang, a shell exploded in the herd of horses. As a cloud of blood mist rose, three horses were blown to the ground and the cavalry also fell down, covering their chests and howling in pain!

From the Banshi Mountain and Laohei Mountain on the flank, there came the dull sound of gunfire.

On Banshi Mountain, the soldiers of the third squad were operating a 37mm rapid-fire cannon, fiercely intercepting and shooting at the Japanese cavalry!

On Laohei Mountain, several Type 92 heavy machine guns fired fierce bursts of fire.

Under the fierce fire interception from the commanding heights on the flank, the puppet cavalry formation was in chaos, but they still stubbornly rushed towards the flank to outflank!

The cavalry finally rushed to the town.

The commander, Captain Sueo Ikeda, was horrified to find that there were less than 50 cavalrymen left.

At this time, the sound of machine gun fire came from the direction of the town.

Ikeda Sueo was hit by four bullets and died on the spot!

The remaining cavalry launched a final attack on the west side of the town.

Although there is only one squad defending the west side,

But the firepower is sufficient!

A grenade launcher, a machine gun, and 12 rifles kept firing at the cavalry!

Half an hour later, apart from a few horses strolling leisurely there, there was no more puppet cavalry to be seen!

The front of the town,

Grenadier Song Lei's hands were cramping.

He finished a whole box of grenades in one breath!

Regardless of the huge casualties, the Japanese soldiers got closer and closer, encircling them in a fan shape!

"Xiao Ding, grenade!" Song Lei kept shouting,

Deputy shooter Ding Fengtian kept passing grenades to Song Lei.

"Grenade! Grenade!"

"Brother Lei, it's gone, the box is empty!"

Song Lei looked back at the empty box, picked up the rifle, and stood up.

He just fired two shots.

A bullet flew over and hit Song Lei in the forehead, and he fell in a pool of blood!

On the Wenchundong Mountain on the east side of the town,

Three artillery observers were using their gun scopes to calibrate their fire.

Artillery observer Li Yangyang was holding a microphone and shouting desperately, "Scale 4190, left +2, full fire, fire!"

Shells fell one after another.

Exploded in the Japanese charge column,

This observation point can mobilize three artillery positions.

One of them is the 105 howitzer position of the artillery unit, and the other is the field artillery position where the 75 field artillery of each unit is concentrated! Another one is the artillery company position of Yu Changan of Kang Huaifu's unit!

At present, the artillery that opened fire was only the field artillery positions, with a total of 7 75 field guns!

On the battlefield,

Seeing the Japanese soldiers falling down in large numbers in the bombardment,

The soldiers' morale was greatly boosted and they kept cheering!

The Japanese attack was repelled again!

The trenches were filled with smoke.

The soldiers were wrapped in bandages, sitting on the ground and eating dry food!

Deng Hui held the phone and shouted,

"Captain, there are only 36 people left in the company. Almost everyone is injured, and the ammunition is almost gone. Request reinforcements from the regiment!"

It's already afternoon.

There was no movement from the Japanese side and no new offensive was launched!

In the evening, more than a hundred soldiers carrying ammunition boxes entered the town from the rear.

A sturdy man walked up to Deng Hui and said, "Old Deng, our 9th Company has been ordered to replace you. You can withdraw now!"

Deng Hui stretched out his hand, and the two hands clasped together.

"Old Xu, it's up to you now. The enemy's artillery fire is very fierce. Tell the soldiers to dig the anti-artillery hole deeper!"

Japanese front-line headquarters,

Colonel Kuwaze Katsushiro lowered his head, his face was red and white, blood oozed from the corners of his mouth, he had been slapped more than a dozen times,

Opposite him stood an angry Japanese lieutenant general.

"Baka! After a day of fighting, the Empire's warriors have lost more than a thousand men and there is no progress!"

This is Lieutenant General Seitaro Kamimura, the commander of the 12th Division. Due to the reputation of the last defeat, he is under great pressure and can't wait to avenge himself!

The Chief of Staff Nakagawa Taro said,

"Your Excellency, based on today's battle situation, we must first take down the two commanding heights, Banshi Mountain and Laohei Mountain. Otherwise, we will always be under threat!"

"Order the 46th Infantry Regiment to attack Banshi Mountain starting tomorrow!"
