The officers and soldiers of the 11th Company who were building the second line of fortifications at the Ping-Han Railway Bridge worked hard all day before finally completing the construction of foxholes, traffic trenches and several machine gun fire support points. And the single tower that Sun Buyi assembled

The flak38 machine gun is also installed in a fire support point closest to the Pinghan Railway Bridge.

When the officers and soldiers of the 11th Company returned to the Dragon King Temple camp hungry, they found that the camp was filled with the aroma of stew tonight, making people salivate after smelling it.

Except for the brothers who were on guard and patrolling, the remaining officers and soldiers of the 11th Company were sitting in the open space in the Dragon King Temple. After a while, a few veterans who had stayed in the camp to cook came up and brought seven or eight

Buckets of steaming white-faced steamed buns, each with a red stamp stamped with the four characters "Don't forget the national humiliation"; and several large pots placed in the center of the camp also had their lids lifted off.

A chunk of stewed pork belly is tumbling up and down with the soup in the pot.

The officers and soldiers of the 11th Company quickly formed a long queue. Each person took out two steamed buns from the bucket and held them in their hands. They also used a sea bowl to catch a large spoonful of pork belly and meat that the veteran had taken from the cauldron.

After eating the soup, they each found a place to stay in the open space and squatted down. After eating a bite of steamed buns, he took a bite of the broth and fatty pork belly in the sea bowl. Suddenly, the camp was filled with the sound of sucking and swallowing, and everyone

There was also an expression of extreme satisfaction on their faces.

Sun Buyi held two steamed buns in his right hand and a sea bowl in his left hand. Like everyone else, he found a corner and squatted there to eat slowly, but he was eating a little absentmindedly.

"Student boy! You told me this morning that you were going to buy some pork for the brothers to eat as a toothpaste, but why did you buy more than thirty fat pigs at once? Just give these guys two bites to satisfy their greed. You can eat so much at once.

It's not over! I have to send someone to raise the remaining fat pigs." The bearded man, who was also holding two steamed buns and a sea bowl, walked to Sun Buyi and squatted down against the wall.

"Company commander, you are working so hard with the little devils. What can you do if your brothers don't have any oil or water in their stomachs? These fat pigs don't even need to be raised. They eat three meals a day! Give the brothers enough to eat! Eat enough!" Sun Buyi said fiercely.

He took a bite of the steamed bun in his hand.

"Student boy! I hear there's something in your words!" The bearded man frowned when he heard this, and put down the steamed bun he was about to put towards his mouth, "You mean, our third battalion is about to start fighting with the little Japs?

"

"Company Commander, today you asked the trumpeter to accompany me to Wanping County to buy pigs. On the way, the trumpeter mentioned to me that when the Wanping Special Administrative Office was established a while ago, the Japanese soldiers from the Third Infantry Brigade of the First Regiment in Fengtai

The captain, Major Qing Nao, came here to congratulate him." Sun Buyi looked at the large pots placed on the open ground, slightly lost in thought.

"It happened, and I happened to be there that time!" The bearded man nodded, "The special office is located in the county government office in Wanping County, which is also the headquarters of our third battalion. I remember Ichiki Kiyoshi that

The kid was the last one to arrive at the county government office. At that time, I thought the kid was staged, but later I found out that he walked from Fengtai to Wanping County! What a ghost! In the past, Ichiki Kiyoshi was just a

As soon as I left Fengtai Barracks, how could I not be riding a tall horse to show off my power, so why did I suddenly change my gender?"

"Because Ichiki Kiyoshi was measuring the distance for their artillery by walking!" A sharp light flashed in Sun Buyi's eyes, "Once the Japanese attack Wanping County, the first artillery shell will definitely fall on Wanping.

Within the county government, we are the headquarters of our third battalion!"

The bearded man's expression suddenly changed when he heard this, "You mean..."

Before Sun Buyi could speak, a golden bolt of lightning suddenly pierced the night sky. Immediately afterwards, dull thunder rolled from a distance like thousands of horses galloping.

Looking at the thick dark clouds in the sky, Sun Buyi nodded slowly towards the bearded man with a solemn expression, "Dark clouds are overwhelming the city!"

Glancing at the bearded man squatting next to him with his eyebrows furrowed and silent, Sun Buyi stood up slowly. As he walked towards the barracks, he quickly recalled in his mind what he had done at the 11th Company position in the past few days.

Arrangements made. There are only two days left before July 7th. Although I dare not say that the current Dragon King Temple position is impregnable, it is definitely not a bit stronger than before I came here.

Whether it's the bouncing mines scattered around the Longwang Temple position or the single-mounted Flak38 machine gun beside the railway bridge, any of them is enough for the Japanese's Ichiki Kiyonao Brigade to drink a pot. But even so, in the next step

In the battle, the officers and soldiers of the 11th Company may still make heavy sacrifices.

Because artillery is the eternal god of war. The Ichiki Kiyoshi brigade that is about to attack the Dragon King Temple position will be equipped with four Type 92 infantry cannons. Even though they are as small as toys, they can almost capture the infantry.

All fire support required.

The Type 92 infantry gun has a simple structure and is not only convenient for wartime production, but also easy to use and maintain. Its total weight is less than 200 kilograms. Two people can pull a Type 92 infantry gun around. On the Asian battlefield, this

In a place where the level of road traffic and military transportation capabilities are far lower than those on the European battlefield, the highly maneuverable Type 92 infantry gun is indeed a huge threat.

So Sun Buyi decided that after the battle started, the first thing to kill were the four Type 92 infantry cannons of Ichiki Kiyoshi's brigade! The chance of killing them was that the Japanese often placed the Type 92 infantry cannons at a distance away from them.

Attack the target very close to the target. Through this kind of close range shooting, it can make up for the lack of precision and power of the Type 92 infantry gun.

After all, in battles in Asia, the intensity of artillery battles is far lower than in Europe, which makes the living environment of artillery much better than in Europe, so the Japanese dare to boldly place artillery near the front. As long as

If you take out the Japanese artillery support yourself, the subsequent battle will be much easier to fight.

At present, around Peiping, from Fengtai in the west to Shanhaiguan Railway in the east, there are more than 5,000 troops stationed in North China invaded by the Japanese; to the east of Peking is the area ruled by the "Eastern Hebei Anti-Communist Autonomous Government" supported by Japan; to the north and northwest

They are all puppet Mongolian troops raised by Japan.

Only the southwest side of Peiping is still in the hands of the 29th Army. Therefore, the Marco Polo Bridge and the Ping-Han Railway Bridge, located fifteen kilometers southwest of Peiping and spanning the Yongding River, guarded by the Third Battalion where he is located, become the gateway to Peiping.

The only gateway to the south is particularly important.
