On the night of September 18, 1940, Peiping airspace
A silver-white Li-2 transport plane hovered over the city. The city of Beiping below was pitch black. It was obvious that there was a light control. However, whether it was the occasional explosions and flames in the city or the bonfires in front of the positions outside the city, everything could be seen. The outline of the city is perfectly outlined, and even from an altitude of several thousand meters, you can clearly feel the grandeur of the city.
Wang Yue was driving the transport plane. After bombing Shenyang, he went back to 2023 to rest. Because he was worried about the war in Peiping, he came back before his body fully recovered. He lost a lot of weight during the previous bombing. Kilogram, he felt as if he was exhausted, and the intracranial pressure was astonishingly high. If it weren't for his strong physical fitness, he would probably have died by now. It seems that he will not be able to carry out such a large-scale bombing in a short time. My head exploded because my blood pressure was too high. It’s scary to think about it.
But just because he couldn't take action himself didn't mean that he couldn't support the Eighth Route Army in attacking Peiping. He had stocked up on weapons and ammunition and could just send them over. As for the troops, didn't Li Yunlong already have them ready? You must know that the Eighth Route Army in North China actually has no shortage of ordinary soldiers. What they lack is only technical arms and heavy weapons.
As a result, Li Yunlong's B-4 M1931 203mm heavy howitzer battery was stuffed into a transport plane and taken to Peiping. Wang Yue also prepared four heavy guns and a thousand rounds of artillery shells for the Eighth Route Army. With this thing, you can definitely break open the city wall of Peking. This is Comrade Steel's battering ram, the big bomb that hit the whole scene in World War II.
However, after listening to the Central News Agency's broadcast on the road, Wang Yue knew that this time he had miscalculated again. Damn it, the Eighth Route Army had broken down the city gate, but they were still blocked by the Japanese. It was really worthy of the apology. He is a little devil, and what he does always exceeds the bottom line.
Now hovering in the air, Wang Yue really wanted to shoot a 500-kilogram aerial bomb for Neji Okamura, but he couldn't do it. As soon as she started calculating the trajectory, her head felt so painful that it felt like it was about to split. He couldn't even roughly estimate the impact point. His face turned red and he was sweating like he was in a sauna.
"Brother Wang, can we blow up one of his guys?" Li Yunlong was lying by the porthole, staring at the city of Beiping under the night, his eyes full of urgency. Brother Wang finally agreed to take him to fight Beiping City, but it's such a big city. , if you want to defeat them, you can do it as soon as your head is hot, not to mention that the Japanese army also took the entire city as hostages.
"The Japanese military units are too close to residential areas. If you drop a bomb, it will easily kill the people. It won't work." Wang Yue shook his head. I thought, but it's really not possible at the moment. Air-dropping bombs requires calculation. There are simply too many variables, far beyond the simple calculations of cannon ball trajectories.
"Then what should we do? No, Brother Wang, there's a fight, there's a fight below!" Li Yunlong wanted to say something else, but at this moment, explosions suddenly occurred in many areas of the city. Based on Li Yunlong's experience, This was definitely an organized attack, and it was a full-scale attack. In addition, there seemed to be a lot of mortars.
Originally, the military reunification plan at Peiping Station was not to be launched until the early morning of the 19th. However, there were too many things and many changes during the afternoon to evening. The Japanese were very sensitive and crazy. Two military reunification assembly points were blocked. The enemy has broken through. If it continues, no one can guarantee what the enemy will find, and it may even cause the plan to go bankrupt. Now that the arrow is on the string, even if it wants to be canceled, it is impossible. Therefore, shortly after dark, the military commander launched the plan in advance. He assassinated Okamura Neji.
Three red signal flares were launched into the sky, and the city that was still in darkness suddenly became lively. The Green Gang members who were performing the diversionary task were the first to take action. More than two hundred three-person attack teams were dispatched at the same time to attack Japanese agencies, sentry boxes, and They launched attacks on poorly defended targets such as shops and acted decisively and quickly without any delay. They evacuated immediately after the homemade incendiary bombs were dropped, leaving no time for the Japanese to react.
Occasionally, an attack team would be unlucky enough to encounter the Japs' expatriate volunteers, and they would pounce on those expatriate volunteers without any hesitation, then detonate their explosives and die together with the enemy. These were all low-level gang members who had signed a life-and-death contract. Rather than hang around in a muddle for a lifetime, being spurned and disgusted by relatives and friends, it is better to live an upright life. The Du Lao Gang in Hong Kong Island has said that their family members will support them for the rest of their lives.
According to the plan, only more than 500 members of the Youth Gang participated in this operation. However, after the attack, many ordinary people and pseudo-policemen also joined in. Everyone's nerves were tense, and there was an external factor that stimulated them. , must have reacted immediately, so before the Eighth Route Army troops launched their attack, the city was already in a fight. Tens of thousands of ordinary people and pseudo-police were involved. If it weren't for the Imperial Association Army being concentrated in As for the military camp, it is estimated that the Royal Association Army March will also be involved at this time.
Faced with a city-wide riot, the Japanese mobile squads immediately dispatched and rushed towards the conflict areas in the city. The Japanese army was naturally prepared. The Special Higher Education Department even received news that the military commander would launch a large-scale operation. After all, It was the action of thousands of people, and it would definitely be impossible to keep it absolutely confidential.
These mobile teams are also very capable. They usually consist of two Japanese military police and ten male soldiers from the overseas volunteer teams. They are equipped with a motorcycle, a machine gun, and ten Liao-13 rifles. Some overseas volunteer teams also have temporarily recruited cars. , mobility and firepower are relatively good.
However, nearly a thousand groups of mobile teams were scattered into the huge city of Beiping, just like a glass of water poured on a fire. Not only were they unable to quickly extinguish those attack groups, but they themselves were also trapped. Not to mention tens of thousands of people participated in the riots, but tens of thousands of people. In addition to ordinary people, there were tens of thousands of pseudo-policemen. Those were all policemen with weapons. Damn the Gendarmerie Headquarters. Why don’t you equip the policemen with rifles? Forget it, why equip them with grenades?
Just when the Japanese army was considering whether to invest armored troops to intervene, the feint attack of the Chinese army outside the city began. Hundreds of thousands of troops launched a more violent offensive than during the day. The Eighth Route Army even launched a 150mm short-range mortar similar to a gas tank. Fire near the city wall and blast the city head with a super-caliber warhead equivalent to 150 kilograms of TNT. One explosion will cover a large area and can even clear a squad-sized position at once.
Through the telescope, Neji Okamura could clearly see the flames and super-caliber ammunition rising on top of the city. The Eighth Route Army's super-caliber ammunition was as powerful as a naval gun. In the face of such a fierce bombardment, even a Class A division could not stop it. Damn it, in just a short time, the Eighth Route Army has actually acquired a formidable attack capability that far exceeds that of the Imperial Army.
Neji Okamura nodded helplessly to the adjutant. He would definitely not be able to stop him if he hit him with real swords and guns. He could only push the people out again. But if he wanted to drive the people back to the city wall, he would have to use his reserve team. After careful consideration, he had no choice but to issue an order and send out the reserve team again.
As a result, there are only two squadrons of garrison strength left around the North China Expeditionary Force Headquarters. Well, there is indeed an armored regiment on standby in Nancheng.
Some people died, but not completely...
