It turns out that although Japan's powerful intelligence system has penetrated China in all aspects, it has always lacked understanding of the Red Army (the propaganda poster of the Japanese army's wanted Zhu Mao during the Anti-Japanese War was outrageous, let alone now.), and

Although the Eighth Red Army has achieved outstanding results over the past year, the Japanese, who have always looked down on the Chinese army, also take it for granted that it is not that the Eighth Red Army is too strong, but that the Kuomintang army is too bad. As a result, they have always been able to take advantage of the Chinese army every time they fight.

The Japanese army, which has a huge advantage in "knowing yourself and the enemy", really suffered a big loss this time...

According to the knowledge he learned at the Army University, Mutaguchi Renya's most correct choice now is to build simple fortifications on the spot and wait for reinforcements. However, as the captain of the Colonel's Regiment, he knows very well that the current Pingjin and its surrounding areas

In a short period of time, reinforcements sufficient to save them could not be drawn out. Although there were more than a thousand Japanese troops in Tianjin, there were Japanese Concession and "China Garrison" headquarters there, so they had too much time to take care of themselves, and the Japanese Concession garrison was not in "China."

Within the "garrison army" establishment, they may not be willing to obey the orders of the headquarters; while the total number of troops in the Japanese-occupied areas such as Chahar (part of), Rehe, and Jidong in North China was several thousand, they were dominated by Fu Zuoyi and Zhang Zizhong.

With this ruthless man restrained, it is impossible to send out troops to rescue him, and they also do not belong to the establishment of the "China Garrison Army". Once the Kwantung Army in Manchuria is mobilized, the scale of the war may be out of control, and the superiors may not be willing to do it for him.

This colonel took risks, not to mention that even if there were reinforcements, they came all the way here. Even if Mutaguchi Renya and the others were not killed in the battle, they all died of hunger and thirst. As for the aviation force, the nearest airport currently under Japanese control is in Port Arthur.

, the distance is close to 400 kilometers, barely within the combat radius of Japanese aircraft, but almost 300 kilometers in between are wide seas. If there is any trouble, even an emergency landing cannot be done, and the air force there is affiliated with the navy, unless it is the emperor.

They had to give the order personally, otherwise they would not take the risk to rescue the army that had always been at odds with each other. It was really wishful thinking for the emperor to personally order troops to rescue a brigade and a colonel. The Jinzhou Airport, which is a little further away, does belong to the army system, but it is far away from here.

But it is thousands of miles away, which is beyond the combat radius of any active aircraft of the Japanese Army...

Therefore, Mutaguchi Lian also decisively decided to break out with all his strength, and the direction was naturally towards Yang Botao's company, which seemed to have the smallest number of troops. But he did not know that although Yang Botao's company looked ordinary at first glance, it was known as the "Sixth Company of Sharpshooters".

Even the cooks have special marksmen, and all of them are equipped with Type 24 semi-automatic rifles that have a rate of fire several times faster than the Japanese Type 38 rifle, but the shooting accuracy is not inferior. Some of them are the favorite guns of sharpshooters.

They also installed a simple sight modified from a telescope, which increased their effective killing distance to 600 meters. They concentrated their firepower early on and called out the Japanese officers one by one. Yang Botao even easily killed the Japanese without even using the machine gun.

The first assault was fought back. Mutaguchi Lian also glared at the troops that had retreated without much loss. He was about to get angry, but he was shocked to find that there was no official officer among these retreating troops (note

1), even the sergeant (usually a squad leader or deputy captain) has only three people left alive. Only then do we understand what is going on. Although the Japanese army considers itself to be the best in the world in combat will, it still has to rely on its officers to take the lead.

, once all the officers are dead, the Japanese soldiers will also lose their fighting spirit...

Discovering that the enemy's shooting accuracy was no less than our own, and the rate of fire was astonishingly fast, Mutaguchi Lian couldn't help but gasp, and finally realized how terrifying the enemy was. Knowing that he couldn't escape, Mutaguchi Lian also gave up on breaking out.

He decided to hold on to the end. Although this would be a dead end in the end, at least he could kill more enemy troops, and unexpected opportunities might arise. At this time, he sent the last telegram to the headquarters, which stated that the enemy

However, they mistakenly thought that this was the main force of the Chinese army that captured Fengtai, or at least a very important part of it. However, this was exactly the same as the telegram sent to the headquarters by the military police before Fengtai was "fallen".

Basically the same, which led to the Japanese commander Amiichiro Tashiro in Tianjin to misjudge the situation and make a fatally wrong decision...

Hu Lian couldn't help but frown when he saw this. He had always been good at using civil fortifications. Naturally, he knew that once the Japanese army switched from offense to defense, it would be much more difficult to deal with than before. Even if the 65th Regiment had a large number of artillery, it would have to be completely wiped out.

If a large amount of artillery shells are consumed, then this battle will not be considered a complete victory. Moreover, it is difficult to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy of the 29th Army. If this battle takes too long, variables may occur, which Hu Lian does not want to see.

It's arrived.

Hu Lian was always scheming, and he came up with ideas in a blink of an eye. He took advantage of the enemy's unfavorable situation of losing artillery, ordered the Red Army on all sides to approach the enemy, and asked the officers and soldiers in the army who were better at speaking Japanese to persuade the enemy to surrender non-stop. The Japanese army is now

The officer vacancy rate exceeded 80%, and the control over lower-level officers and soldiers was greatly reduced. Hu Lian even sent people to insult the emperor in Japanese. The Japanese who couldn't help but come forward were named one by one by the sharpshooters of the Red Army. These people

But they were all die-hard militarists, and the morale of the Japanese soldiers would drop with each death. A few hours later, Hu Lian even more cunningly asked people to grill meat upwind. The hungry Japanese soldiers and soldiers could smell the tempting aroma.

I don’t want to fight anymore anymore...

Finally, a timid soldier couldn't help but said to himself, "They say they treat prisoners preferentially..."

"Baga!" Mutaguchi Lian was furious. He pulled out his saber and was about to slash at the guy. But when he saw many people's eyes flickering, he couldn't help but feel cold. He quickly sheathed the saber and hid his face.

The fierce light of the battle loudly admonished all the officers and soldiers, "If you die in battle, at least your family can get a pension. If you surrender, what will happen to your family?"

Using family members to force Japanese officers and soldiers to fight to the end has always been the greatest magic weapon of the Japanese militaristic regime. After being poured cold water on them by the captain, those Japanese officers and soldiers who had begun to have two minds suddenly turned pale, and many people despaired.

Singing military songs, determined to fight until death for my family...

Note 1: The Japanese army lacks the awareness to prevent snipers. Officers can easily identify them, and cold shots are very effective. However, historically, due to the Japanese army’s huge advantages in air force and artillery fire, even in positional battles that are most conducive to the performance of sharpshooters, the National Army’s sharpshooters

They rarely achieve great results. They are often killed by enemy artillery fire or aircraft before a shot is fired. Besides, the effective range of a rifle without a scope is only three to four hundred meters at most. After all, a genius like Zhang Taofang is

Something that can be met but cannot be sought...
