Chapter 19 War (2)

After the 77th Regiment was eliminated, Zeng Anli ordered the troops to clean the battlefield immediately and gather the bodies of the Japanese in the courtyard to burn them. The Japanese must not find out the secret of the Black Tiger Army using poison gas bombs. This was specifically pointed out by Su Tong that Zeng Anli also knew that it was of great importance. When Su Tong assigned the poison gas bombs to the Fourth Regiment, Zeng Yanling pointed out that without Su Tong's personal signature documents or telegrams, no one or troops were allowed to use poison gas bombs. Violators... executed.

Su Tong was afraid that once he opened this Pandora's magic box, it would have unpredictable results for the history he was familiar with. This would be extremely unfavorable to the development of the Black Tiger Army and would disrupt the history that Su Tong knew. The fear of the unknown was the man's surname.

July 14th at 9:00 am

When the Japanese army's 79th Brigade and the 78th Infantry Regiment and the Artillery Regiment arrived at the Longmen Station, they saw only rows of neatly arranged, with their heads chopped and their whole body peeled like pigs with hair removed. This is the old tradition of the Black Tiger Army, and there are also a pile of remains burned to ashes.

“Bagya Road…”

Major General Saburo Endo's command knife cut hard on a tree next to him.

Shame, this is a great humiliation of the Great Japanese Imperial Army. The entire regiment of the Imperial Army was completely wiped out, and it was annihilated by an unknown local militia. The most important impression of the Black Tiger Army was that it was bold and unaware of life and death. A mere local militia dared to announce the takeover of Chahar's defense. Do you think the Great Japanese Imperial Army was a waste of time? The commander of the North China Garage Army, Mijiro Umezu, sent the 79th Brigade of the Mixed Compilation to Zhangjiakou not because he valued the Black Tiger Army much, but because he used this as an excuse to send troops to occupy the capital of Chahar, and then took this opportunity to occupy the entire territory of Chahar.

Originally, in Saburo Endo's opinion, the battle that could be solved by sending a brigade was solved, but the result was that the 77th Regiment was completely wiped out. Its absurd surname was no less than a burly man who was raped by a weak and delicate girl.

Endo Saburo breathed heavily and ordered the artillery to build a position immediately. The 78th Regiment immediately launched its formation and prepared to launch an attack.

On the position of the Black Tiger Army in Longmen, the Fifth Regiment was still responsible for the defensive mission. Since the Fourth Regiment wiped out the 77th Regiment last night, Zeng Anli, who was satisfied with seizing the gang flag, became a reserve team from behind with satisfaction.

About 10:00 a.m.

The 78th Regiment of the Japanese Army launched an attack on the Fifth Regiment's position. With the lessons of the 77th Regiment, the 78th Regiment was very cautious. The corps leader, Colonel Inoue, sent a squadron to launch a test attack. The squadron advanced cautiously. When three hundred meters away from the position, the Black Tiger Army began to fight back. What surprised Colonel Inoue was that the firepower of the Black Tiger Army was quite fierce. As soon as the Imperial Army fired, it would immediately attract intensive revenge and counterattack. Within twenty minutes, the Imperial Army suffered one-third of the casualties. The Black Tiger Army on the opposite side was under high and dense bombardment. The dense rain of bullets made the Imperial Army unable to raise its head.

"The Nanizhi army used a semi-automatic rifle." Major General Endo Saburo, who was watching the battle behind, was shocked. The firepower of the Chinese army opposite was so fierce that he was surprised.

"Order the artillery to launch artillery attacks on the Chinese position immediately." Major General Endo Saburo ordered.

The artillery corps that had just set up their positions immediately launched artillery bombardment on the Black Tiger Army's position. For a moment, sand and stones were flying on the position of the Fifth Regiment, and the explosion sounded.

The Fifth Regiment is not outdone. The artillery battalion was waiting for you just now. The regiment-owned artillery battalion immediately launched a counterattack. The regiment-owned artillery battalion of the Black Tiger Army has been adapted to have two artillery companies: the first company is equipped with twelve 105 caliber howitzers, the second company is equipped with 16 75 caliber infantry artillery guns, and after the merger of the artillery battalion of the Fourth Regiment and the Fifth Regiment, there are now four artillery companies with a total of 56 artillery guns. Compared with the fifty-four seven-five caliber mountain cannons of the Japanese Artillery Regiment, it is even better than that.

"Woo..." The shells crossed the sky and let the experienced Major General Saburo Endo know that this was a heavy artillery of at least 100 mm caliber. Due to the small territory and lack of resources in Japan, they generally call artillery of over 100 mm caliber as heavy artillery.

The Chinese defenders were actually equipped with heavy artillery, which made Major General Endo Saburo feel heavier. In just a few hours, Major General Endo Saburo looked much older.

"Send a report to the North China Garage Army Headquarters, saying that the 79th Brigade of Reading Power Mixed Combination attack on the Longmen Institute was blocked, and the entire 77th Regiment was broken, and now I ask for tactical guidance." After saying this, Major General Saburo Endo, as if all his strength was drained, was slumped on the stone next to him. He knew clearly what his fate was after sending this telegram, and the best result was to return to China for investigation or transfer to the reserve service.

Soon, the artillery battle between the two sides was divided into results. The Black Tiger Army lost eight seventy-five-caliber infantry artillery, and the Japanese lost thirty-three mountain field artillery. Most of the artillery lost by the Black Tiger Army was credited with the 105 howitzers, which took advantage of the range. The two 105 howitzers were fighting so happily.

To be fair, the quality of the artillery of the two armies is indeed not on the same level. The artillery of the Black Tiger Army has an advantage in terms of quantity and quality, but even so, eight artillery pieces were lost in the artillery battle just now, which made Wang Li, who had been used to poor days from the Jinsui Army to the Black Tiger Army, feel heartbroken.

Seeing that the artillery fire of the Japanese army was so hard that he dared not show up, Wang Li immediately ordered the artillery to divert its firepower and open fire on the Japanese infantry company. The artillery fire of the two artillery battalions instantly fell on the third brigade of the 78th Regiment, which was preparing to launch another attack. Unprepared to prevent the third brigade suffered heavy losses. Colonel Inoue quickly ordered the third brigade to retreat. After counting the number of people, Colonel Inoue was in tears. The third brigade of 1,100 people lost more than 300 people under the artillery fire cover of the Black Tiger Army in less than five minutes. In addition to the losses of the squadron in front, nearly one-tenth of the entire regiment had lost combat power.

Major General Saburo Endo quickly ordered Colonel Inoue to withdraw his troops, otherwise the losses would be even greater when the Black Tiger Army on the opposite side came with a counterattack.

In the command center of Longmen Station, Wang Li saw the Japanese army opposite retreating to safety in an orderly manner, and he also admired the speed of the military's offensive and defensive transformation. So Wang Li asked the third battalion, which was preparing to carry out counterattack, to stop.
