Chapter 464 Type 92 Infantry Cannon
The Lugou Bridge is 266.5 meters long and 7.5 meters wide, with the widest part being 9.3 meters. It is made entirely of stone and is the longest stone bridge in North China.
The east end of the Lugou Bridge is Wanping County, which is a military fortress guarding Beiping.
Nowadays, after the devils' various encroachments, hundreds of thousands of devil troops and tens of thousands of traitor troops are deployed in the north, west and east of Beiping.
The situation is very clear. Once the Lugou Bridge and Wanping City are occupied by the devils, they will be unable to contact the south of China, and Beiping will become a dead city.
As we all know, in the Pingjin area, there are only two important towns, Beiping and Tianjin.
After Beiping is occupied, the situation in Tianjin will be precarious.
The reason is obvious. With the devils' wretched character, it is impossible to let Tianjin go.
And, most importantly, the headquarters of the North China Garrison Army is arranged in Tianjin.
The specific location is called Haiguang Temple!
In other words, once Beiping is occupied, the devils will use it as a springboard and easily take over the entire Pingjin area.
Therefore, the full-scale anti-Japanese war broke out around Lugou Bridge and Wanping City at the east end of the bridge.
When the war just started, or more precisely, when the devils just started firing at Wanping City, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army quickly got into the role.
Ye Tian had led his troops here a long time ago, and because he didn't know where the devil's artillery position was, he had been hiding with his troops.
While sending Fujiwara Kumiko and others to conduct various reconnaissance, Ye Tian was still waiting for the devils to fire.
The devil's eight-door Type 92 infantry guns had just fired, and in the first time, based on the muzzle with fire and the very conspicuous trajectory of the shells, Ye Tian accurately determined the specific location.
"Check the equipment and prepare for battle!"
With extreme excitement on his face, without any hesitation, Ye Tian roared.
In an instant, the dead soldiers who had been ready to go immediately began to march quickly.
In order to ensure that the goal could be achieved, Ye Tian also made special arrangements.
Fujiwara Kumiko, Ono Yuri, and five male Genin, while investigating the Japanese artillery positions, should also keep an eye on the movements of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.
What made Ye Tian happy was that when he led his troops to the west side of Lugou Bridge, Fujiwara Kumiko and the other seven ninjas all returned to the team one after another.
Twenty minutes later, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army finally arrived at the artillery position.
There were a total of eight Type 92 infantry guns on the Japanese artillery position, and at this moment, they were quickly pouring shells into Wanping City.
The Japanese artillery, together with the Japanese infantry protecting the artillery positions, had about 400 people.
At this moment, the sky had just dawned, and these shells were dragging long flames, which were very conspicuous in the still dark night sky.
The sound of the artillery was deafening, and the 400 or so Japanese were completely unaware that danger was approaching them.
The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army has come with three heavy machine guns, five light machine guns, ten grenade launchers, and dozens of Type 38 rifles.
And, as Ye Tian expected, the Japanese sentries defending the artillery position stopped them.
However, seeing that these dozens of people were wearing Japanese uniforms and everyone could speak Japanese fluently, the two Japanese sentries were puzzled.
At the same time, dozens of Japanese soldiers also raised Type 38 rifles and aimed their guns at the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.
In addition, two Type 38 light machine guns farther away were obviously malicious.
"Command!"
Just as a Japanese sentry was yelling, Ye Tian stood out from the crowd.
In fact, Ye Tian's meaning was very clear, that is, to pretend to be a Japanese, sneak into the artillery position, and then try to wipe them out.
In addition, at this time, Fujiwara Kumiko and the other seven ninjas were not in the team.
The best job for ninjas is assassination!
Under Ye Tian's command, they have entered the role, that is, to disperse and attack from different positions, and try to eliminate the Japanese sentinels outside the artillery position.
Behind Fujiwara Kumiko and others, three heavy machine guns, five light machine guns, and ten grenade launchers are also narrowing the encirclement.
And they are ready to fire at any time!
In other words, when Ye Tian fired the first shot, these light and heavy machine guns and grenade launchers will immediately enter the role.
Their mission is very simple, that is, to wipe out the Japanese infantry protecting the artillery position.
Staring at the two Japanese sentinels with angry eyes, showing the red book of the Japanese captain, Ye Tian slapped them without saying a word.
Then, Ye Tian grabbed a Japanese with one hand, easily lifted them off the ground, and shook their bodies violently.
"Baga!
According to the order of Colonel Kayado Takashima, commander of the 2nd Infantry Regiment of the North China Garrison Army, our troops have just arrived at the battlefield urgently. Now I have to meet with Major Ichiki Kiyonao, commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 1st Regiment, to report important military information!!"
Not knowing the Japanese password, not sure if he can fool the Japanese sentry, to prevent accidents, Ye Tian was ready to take action at any time.
Of course, under Ye Tian's order, the 43 riflemen did the same.
Now their gun chambers are filled with five bullets.
Ye Tian's voice was high and his expression was anxious, as if he would kill people if he disagreed with them. With the captain's ID, he successfully fooled the two Japanese sentries.
Yes, the July 7 Incident broke out too suddenly.
Although they had long anticipated that the war would break out, the two Japanese artillerymen did not know this fact until they really started to bombard Wanping City.
Plus, the bombardment had just begun, so naturally, they were in a state of confusion.
"Report to the captain!
Major Ichiki Kiyonao is two kilometers behind the artillery position..."
Hearing this, Ye Tian was overjoyed to realize that he had succeeded in pretending to be cool.
Try to control his ecstasy, and with a serious face, Ye Tian shouted again: "Take me to see Major Ichiki Kiyonao, quickly!"
For fear of delaying military intelligence, the two Japanese sentinels did not dare to neglect and shouted in unison: "Hi!"
So, under the leadership of the two Japanese sentinels, Ye Tian brought 43 dead soldiers to the core area of the artillery position.
In other words, Ye Tian was only 200 meters away from the eight Type 92 infantry guns!
And, what made Ye Tian happy was that, following the two Japanese sentinels, he was delighted to find that Fujiwara Kumiko and the others were very powerful and had wiped out the Japanese sentinels on the periphery.
Ye Tian's night vision was so strong that he had seen the "OK" gesture made by Fujiwara Kumiko!
This gesture of Fujiwara Kumiko had a profound meaning.
In addition to telling Ye Tian that the Japanese sentries on the periphery were wiped out, it also told Ye Tian another message.
Three heavy machine guns, five light machine guns, and ten grenade launchers were all in place and could fire at the Japanese infantry at any time!
