On June 15, around nine o'clock in the morning, the Japanese Ninth Division launched an attack on the mechanized infantry brigade position in Changping. Prior to this, a regiment of the Japanese 108th Division had just captured the south entrance. Changping formed a semi-encirclement situation and directly threatened Wanping.

After the brand-new Marco Polo Bridge Incident, Wanping has been baptized by the fire of war and has now become a ruins. The civilians, most of them railway workers, have been evacuated. Now stationed here is a detachment organized by Li Tieshu during his time. Railroad Workers' Self-Defense Forces,

Wanping is the western gateway to Beiping. Qin Dechun was worried that Wanping's failure would have an unpredictable impact on Beiping. After receiving the news about Hu Tong, he immediately dispatched a security brigade to Wanping.

Still focusing on the outskirts of Changping City, after the suppressive bombardment, about a squadron of Japanese soldiers broke out of the simple fortifications and rushed towards the first line of defense of the mechanized infantry brigade.

The role of artillery in wars of this era is self-evident, especially the destructive power produced by large-caliber heavy artillery, which is enough to make weak-willed soldiers lose their fighting spirit. After the heavy artillery, the position of the mechanized infantry brigade was in a mess. The third battalion worked hard. The trenches that had been dug for two days were bombed into floating soil. From time to time, one or two cadets fell unyieldingly in a pool of blood. The mechanized infantry brigade has four regiments, namely the first mechanized infantry regiment, the third mechanized infantry regiment, and the third infantry regiment. The tank regiment also has a self-propelled artillery battalion. The self-propelled artillery battalion is equipped with a total of four 15mm howitzers and eight 120mm field guns. Compared with the heavy artillery brigade of the Little Japanese, The caliber and quantity of the artillery were not proportional at all. Therefore, he was not stupid enough to engage in exchange of fire with the opponent.

After the sound of the artillery fire, He Zhengsheng stood at the forward sentry post, picked up his binoculars and looked towards the position of the 3rd Battalion of the 1st Infantry Regiment. The muscles on his face twitched involuntarily.

Ouyang Yun's role in establishing a mobile force is to use its speed advantage to carry out tactics such as breaking attacks and encirclement. In other words, the mechanized infantry brigade is good at attacking but not good at defending. The mechanized infantry brigade is used as an emergency response. The troops use it as a last resort.

After the Japanese set up camp opposite the mechanized infantry brigade, this was the seventh long-term shelling. These seven shellings caused a lot of casualties to the third battalion. Just based on the battle damage statistics of the previous six battles, the third battalion accounted for The artistic conception in the first trench reached more than 130 people,

One company's casualties, that is to say, the third battalion lost one-third of its combat strength just from the Japs' shelling. The third battalion commander's eyes were already red with anger, and blood oozed from the corners of his eyes. He picked up his rifle. He picked up the phone and shouted: "Brigade, where are our artillery? Where is our artillery? What is this guy Li Mazi doing?"

Li Mazi is the commander of the self-propelled artillery battalion.

What was Li Mazi doing at this time? He was sitting on the ground with his head down and smoking. His body was covered with the unwilling eyes of the artillery battalion soldiers. The brothers in front were bleeding and sacrificing, but they could do nothing. it can not be helped,

He Zhengjiang put down the telescope and took the walkie-talkie from the hands of deputy brigade commander Lin Deqin. He swallowed twice and said in the same hoarse voice: "Wang Dayou, I am He Zhengjiang. I emphasize again that your The mission is to hold your position for six hours, and during this period you will not receive any support."

Hearing He Zhengjiang's voice without any emotion, Wang Dayou at least thought so. He cursed angrily: "Grandma, He Zhengjiang, you are asking your brothers to die."

The muscles on He Zhengsheng's face spasmed again, but he just said calmly: "Execute the order." Then, he pressed the switch of the walkie-talkie.

"He Zhengjiang, you're such a bitch, you're going to die a good death." Wang Dayou was still scolding him. He was from the 1st Gendarmerie Regiment. In the old army, he was always depressed because of this shitty temper and was a private. Now he has become a private. The temper of the battalion commander of the third battalion of the 1st Infantry Regiment did not change at all. He cursed a few more times and then put it down in frustration when he heard no reply.

To his right, the battalion instructor Fu Qiangpo reminded: "Old Wang, the little Japanese is approaching."

Wang Dayou glared at him, straightened his helmet, looked into the eyes of the surrounding soldiers, pulled out his pistol and waved it, saying: "Brothers, at worst, you will die, fight them."

The soldiers shouted in unison: "Fight."

Wang Dayou was lying on the edge of the trench, glanced at the Japanese on the opposite side, and said in a squeaky voice: "Get closer and then hit. Don't save bullets, hit them hard."

Fu Qiangpo liked to use the Wei Qing-style assault rifle. He opened the bolt of the gun, put all the magazines on his body in front of him, and asked for two grenades from a soldier next to him, saying: "One hundred and fifty meters, One hundred meters, eighty meters,.”

Wang Dayou suddenly raised his head and shouted: "Hit." He waved his hand and shot.

At a distance of eighty meters, it has entered the optimal range of the Wei Qing-style assault rifle. As Wang Dayou shouted, dozens of grenades flew out. At the same time, various types of machine guns and Wei Qing-style machine guns flew out. The gunshots of the assault rifles rang out, and in the gunfire, the Japanese who rushed at the front fell down like rice grains.

"Lie down, take cover." The little devil's screams could be heard vaguely mixed with the gunshots, "pop, bang" and "ta-da". The little devil's 92 heavy machine gun and crooked-neck machine gun also rang, as well as the 38 The unique sound of gunfire and the sound of grenades piercing the air were heard in the sky. That was when the little devil's grenade began to fire.

After fighting several battles with the Xuebing Army, the kid gradually learned the lesson. When faced with the firepower of the Wei Qing-style assault rifle, which was not inferior to that of the light machine gun, the kid no longer charged sullenly, but now knew how to engage in firepower exchanges and suppression.

The battle began to enter a stalemate. However, thanks to the trench protection, the casualties of the third battalion were much less than that of the Japs. This battle lasted for about a quarter of an hour. In the end, a squadron of Japs left behind more than fifty corpses and retreated. down,

As soon as the Japs exited the shooting range, many soldiers immediately sat down on the loose soil in the trenches. Wang Dayou cursed angrily: "Get up, get up, quickly strengthen the fortifications and repair the shell holes. There must be still artillery fire below the Japs." .”

Wang Dayou was responsible for commanding the battle, while Fu Qiangpo was responsible for checking the number of casualties and rescuing the wounded. Later, he walked to Wang Dayou and said sadly: "Eleven more brothers died, and five were seriously injured. I've asked the hygienist to carry it down."
