When the Japanese came to the front of the headquarters, the fortifications built under Zhang Yuntian's command had just been completed!
Standing behind the built fortifications, Zhang Yuntian held a telescope in his hand and carefully observed the Japanese soldiers outside the gate to see how they were doing!
While watching, Zhang Yuntian's mood became heavier and heavier!
The Japanese soldiers who came should be regular troops of the Japanese Kwantung Army, not an independent garrison. It can be seen from their rigorous military style and skillful techniques and tactics that they are veterans with more than four years of military service and considerable combat effectiveness.
Strong.
Zhang Yuntian compared the combat effectiveness of the soldiers on both sides in his mind, and finally had to admit that his soldiers were inferior to those of the Japanese soldiers, both in terms of skills, tactics and combat experience!
Thinking about it further, Zhang Yuntian is even more worried about the Chinese army! Because he knows that his guards and the headquarters guard regiment are definitely the elite troops of the Northeast Army, and the average Northeast Army troops are worse than them.
, and even the combat effectiveness of some troops is a little stronger than those of the rural regiments.
With such overall strength to deal with the elite Japanese Kwantung Army, Zhang Yuntian himself couldn't help but feel extremely frustrated!
Having the determination to resist Japan does not mean that you can not face reality and rely entirely on fantasy! Zhang Yuntian understands that the Chinese nation's great cause of resisting Japan will probably be very difficult and require great sacrifices.
"Don't shoot rashly, especially machine guns. You must wait for my signal before shooting, do you hear me?" Zhang Yuntian gave the order in a low voice to the soldiers, telling them not to shoot easily!
The soldiers all lowered their bodies and hid themselves behind the fortifications, listening to the movements outside and waiting for Zhang Yuntian's orders!
Zhang Yuntian looked at the Japanese soldiers on the opposite side calmly, waiting for them to get closer before talking!
At this time, the group of Japanese soldiers who were advancing suddenly stopped and formed an offensive formation outside the gate, but made no further moves!
"It's strange, what kind of plan are the Japanese planning to make without attacking?" Zhang Yuntian looked at the Japanese soldiers opposite, feeling a little puzzled!
After the Japanese formation unfolded, a Japanese officer walked out of the crowd and shouted towards this side under the cover of several soldiers, "Manchurian soldiers, we are the 29th Regiment of the Second Division of the Kwantung Army of the Empire of Japan."
Jingbian Squadron of the First Battalion, you have no choice but to put down your weapons, we guarantee your safety!"
When Zhang Yuntian heard this, he was so angry that he cursed, "What the hell, on our Chinese soil, you actually asked us Chinese to hand over our guns and surrender. You really think that we are slaves to the subjugation of our country!"
Sun Jianping asked in a low voice from the side, "Deputy Commander, do you want to fight or not?"
Zhang Yuntian knew that Sun Jianping was a famous sharpshooter. He was said to be able to shoot through an enemy with a hundred steps, so he nodded and said, "Are you confident about hitting the officer who spoke?"
Sun Jianping closed one eye, made a visual inspection, and then said, "The distance is a bit far, but I can give it a try!"
Zhang Yuntian responded, "Okay, you go ahead and fight, it's best to shoot him and send him to see their emperor!"
Sun Jianping responded, then grabbed a Mauser rifle next to him, then raised it to his eyes and aimed at the Japanese officer through the rear sight!
The Japanese officer did not know that he had entered the shooting range, and was still shouting and pulling his neck, trying to persuade the Northeast Army soldiers on the opposite side to capture the headquarters with as little loss as possible. He was completely unaware that the muzzle of a rifle on the opposite side was always surrounding him.
His body was moving gently.
More than 150 meters, this distance is really beyond Sun Jianping's effective shooting range, which greatly reduces his chance of hitting. He is only less than 40% sure that he can hit!
Blinking his sore eyes, Sun Jianping took a deep breath to calm down his irritable mood, and then once again aimed at the Japanese officer whose body was shaking, locking him firmly!
Finally, Sun Jianping's finger firmly pulled the trigger. With the sound of a gunshot, a string of blood burst out from the bridge of the nose of the Japanese officer on the opposite side, and then his body fell backward. Blood splashed all over the face and body of the soldiers around him.
"Okay, good fight!"
On the Northeast Army's position, bursts of cheers immediately erupted!
Zhang Yuntian couldn't help but stretched out his thumb towards Sun Jianping and praised, "Good boy, your marksmanship is really good!"
"Deputy Commander, you've thanked me!" Sun Jianping's expression was calm, as if what he did was nothing unusual!
Zhang Yuntian's evaluation of his favorite general was even higher, "Not arrogant, not impetuous, good, he is a talented general!"
Sun Jianping's shot could be regarded as poking the Japanese hornet's nest. Under the roar of the Japanese commander, dozens of grenade launchers and two flat-firing cannons opened fire at the same time, violently bombarding the Northeastern Army's position.
For a moment, gunfire rumbled over Zhang Yuntian's position, shrapnel flew, and soil kept flying up, and then fell again!
The soldiers of the Northeast Army led by Zhang Yuntian huddled behind the bunker, trying hard to avoid the enemy's bombardment, conserving their strength to the maximum extent and preparing to meet the enemy's next charge!
At that time, I'm afraid that's when the battle really begins!
The Japanese bombardment lasted for more than ten minutes, and then gradually became sparse and began to turn to suppressive bombardment, extending toward the rear!
Sure enough, before the sound of artillery had completely stopped, there were already twenty or thirty Japanese soldiers in the Japanese army, forming a skirmish line and moving forward cautiously.
The Japanese army's skirmishing line was very wide, which greatly reduced the lethality of the Northeast Army even if it had artillery. What's more, Zhang Yuntian and the others had no other heavy firepower except a dozen mortars in their hands!
Keeping an eye on the charging Japanese soldiers, Zhang Yuntian whispered to the soldiers, "Don't be anxious, wait, wait until the Japanese enter within fifty meters, and then fire!"
Under his command, the soldiers suppressed their desire to shoot and quietly waited for the opponent to advance!
The Japanese Type 92 machine guns and crooked light machine guns roared at the same time. Bullets poured out like a torrential rain and swept around the Northeastern Army's position. The main purpose was to suppress the resistance of the Northeastern Army and create more space for the infantry charge.
Good conditions!
The person was getting closer and closer, until they were within a distance of fifty meters. Zhang Yuncai shouted loudly and opened fire first, "Hit!" With an order, the light and heavy machine guns that had been concealed were fired.
They fired at the same time, and the bullets were like sickles in the autumn field, knocking down the Japanese soldiers one after another!
Most of the stormtroopers sent by the Japanese fell down in the blink of an eye, while the rest hurriedly ducked down to avoid the bullets that were flying around.
