At this time, almost no one in China knew how many soldiers the Japanese had in North China.
Of course, his information came from the history textbooks in his memories.
Chen Li knew that there were 40,000 to 50,000 people. It was a vague number, and he did not know where they were deployed.
Song Zheyuan's troops wouldn't go to the enemy's camp to count their numbers.
The devils were powerful, and retreating had always been their first principle.
Chen Li didn't count on anyone. Song Zheyuan's troops were unreliable.
Ji Changwen also wanted to see if he would side with him, even if it was just a little.
The sniper team was sent to the city wall, but no one knew the effect.
When he played PUBG in the future, he would often get killed by his enemies with an 8x scope.
Even when he died, he did not know where the enemy was.
All Chen Li could do was wait for the results in the tunnel and smoke a cigarette from time to time.
There were no entertainment facilities here for him to relax. He didn't know if his plan could be realized.
The limitations of communication and manpower caused many things to be entangled.
At this time, Chen Qingyue was busy in a certain settlement area in the tunnel.
"Auntie, let me help you carry the baby. Look, he's so fun. He's even smiling at me…Mmm, baby, it's not good to eat fingers. Don't eat fingers, okay? I'll give you a candy."
" Big Sister, let me massage your legs. We'll beat the devils away eventually. Don't be afraid. You must be careful when you go down the stairs next time."
"Little brother, come, come play with me. Look, I have candy."
"Grandpa, don't be afraid. My brother is fighting with the Japanese over there. As long as we chase the Japanese away, we can go home."
Making oneself busy was also a way to make people forget their worries.
Chen Qingyue had also gone up to the ground. The one-foot-thick wall had collapsed just like that. The Japanese's artillery shells had left a hole in it.
She also missed that so-called brother.
After all, Old Master and the butler had mentioned this matter more than once.
Perhaps he had to thank that foreign woman. Otherwise, why would Old Master take a fancy to him, who was born in such a poor family? Just because Young Master bought her back?
In Chen Qingyue's eyes, the young master was good at everything.
Which young girl didn't yearn for love? Fourteen or fifteen years old.
There were many things that the young master did that he didn't understand, but they were good.
He had brought him to know so many people, but no one in Wanping City had ever said that he was born in a lowly family.
As long as someone said something bad about the young master, Qing Yue would go out and argue with them. Regardless of whether they were reasonable or not, she was also very afraid of trouble. After all, she had been sold for many years…
However, mustering up the courage to argue seemed to have some effect. It was mostly because of the old master's face, but it made Chen Qingyue raise some courage.
If the Japanese attacked and Young Master wanted to run away, that would be good too. It would be good to watch over him quietly and see him live well.
It was good that Young Master didn't want to run now.
If the young master is here, I will be here. It's fine as long as I see the young master living well.
Chen Qingyue was still working hard to copy every day because the young master knew much more than her. Sometimes, he even smiled at her.
The sound of cannons in and out of the city could no longer affect her because she had Young Master in her heart.
Young Master was the sky and the earth.
The sound of the cannon in Wanping rang out. Chen Qingyue had thought more than once that she had been blown up by the cannon, and then the young master had hugged her and felt warm. Then, she was gone.
However, at that moment, he really felt very happy.
It was just that Young Master had never been interested in her. Although he brought her wherever he went, there had never been a moment of warmth.
Young Master was going to fight the Japanese again.
He hoped that the Japanese would die out soon.
The little girl clenched her little fists and waved them around. Then, in the next minute, she entered her great cause of resisting the war and appeased the masses.
This was what she felt could help Chen Li the most.
"Grandpa, how are you? Where are you feeling unwell?"
"The house was blown up by the Japanese. I feel uncomfortable everywhere..."
"My brother said that the house and the territory are trivial matters. As long as you keep your life, it's fine. I'll massage your shoulders."
——————，
Outside the city wall, there was a black mass of Japanese.
The artillery fire plowed Wanping City again and again
Chen Li's 20-odd soldiers were still on the city wall, holding 98K and firing a shot or two from time to time.
Ji Changwen's company was also here. The enemy was not within range, so they did not dare to open fire.
In such a life-and-death situation, no one could care about the other.
As long as the Japanese got close, the Type 38 rifle would kill them if it hit their vital points.
The sound of artillery boomed, but only Wanping County was bombed. There was no fire support. The artillery fire that had been roaring all night seemed to have become a thing of the past.
" I killed three of them," a soldier from the security regiment said.
"So cowardly, I've already done five…" Another person replied.
This kind of communication was only within the security regiment. However, the people in the 29th division who were on guard had a different feeling.
The Japanese charged in a scattered line, which meant that everyone bent down and even crouched on the ground to charge forward.
This kind of attack was definitely not enough to deal with the firepower that had been arranged previously.
Da da.
The sound of gunshots rang out, but such gunshots did not mean anything. Perhaps some of them could eliminate a few Japanese, but overall, there was not much of a result.
The exposed firing point quickly became the target of the Japanese.
Mortars, infantry cannons, and grenade launchers were fired at their targets almost at the same time.
The result was very simple. The machine gun had become a component, and the person controlling the machine gun…In the next second, it turned into powder
War was cruel.
The Lugou Bridge became the focus of the battle between the two armies.
The two bunkers near Wanping City had become two important firing points.
Compared to the Japanese from Fengtai, the Third Brigade was actually the most well-known unit.
They were familiar with Wanping's city defense and knew where there would be fortifications and firing points. Wanping was only so big, so it was just like that.
However, these two firing points were not marked on the map of these new devils.
No one expected the Third Brigade to be destroyed by Chen Li's artillery fire, including Chen Li himself.
Chen Li, who had woken up from a long sleep, felt that the cannon fire had indeed been a little too long. He felt a little heartache for the money for the shells, that was all.
Ji Changwen didn't even know who fired the cannon.
Ichiki Kiyoshi had already committed suicide.
Therefore, this attack was like a stranger fighting a stranger.
Groups of Japanese soldiers rushed up and became the target of the 98K security team with 8x scope. As they moved forward, they were greeted by the fire from the two bunkers.
The Fengtai Military Camp had sent out a full regiment. In fact, on the battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War, a division or even an army of China might not be able to resist.
However, the battle in Wanping City was unusually intense.
The two bunkers that Chen Li had paid special attention to on the side of the Lugou Bridge were made of thick steel bars and a thick layer of concrete.
There was nothing he could do about it. The memories he brought from his previous life were that Lugouqiao was a disaster area. They fought a lot. Chen Li did not know how to fight. The history textbooks would not write down such details.
Therefore, he could only rely on his own thoughts. When it came to construction, it was always right to build on a solid foundation.
One resource point could be exchanged for dozens of bags of cement. However, Chen Li, who was willing to use 100 resource points to exchange for a system officer, did not care about one or two resource points at this moment.
This was also the reason why Ji Changwen's two fortifications were so sturdy.
He didn't understand, and neither did Chen Li. There was still cement and sand. Cover it up as much as possible, and then lay a layer of topsoil.
Even heavy artillery might not be able to destroy such fortifications.
Moreover, the vanguard troops sent out from Fengtai were only equipped with 92-caliber infantry cannons and some small-caliber mortars.
The advantage of the Maxim heavy machine gun was that it basically did not need to change the barrel during combat. The huge water cooling system basically prevented it from overheating during combat.
The boiling temperature of the water was only 100 degrees Celsius, and the soldiers usually did not let the cooling water reach this temperature. If it was too hot, they would change it.
The melting point of the steel barrel was over a thousand degrees. Even after considering the replacement ratio and other messy factors, the heavy machine guns in the bunker could still maintain normal operation.
To put it bluntly, if there was really no water to change, everyone could just take a few handfuls of urine and pour it in. The battlefield was nothing else but a place where people risked their lives. If they couldn't even care about their lives, what was urine to them? No one could care so much.
As for the artillery fire, they had already experienced it. Anyway, it didn't matter how they bombed it. This bunker was very safe.
It wasn't that there weren't any casualties. The Japanese bullets fired from the machine guns also injured a few people. The two bunkers had changed machine gunners.
However, this kind of fighting style was still much better than fighting in the wild…
The feeling of an archer was to see the target and then shoot continuously. The feeling of bullets pouring out was unstoppable. It was really cool, and one could even forget about it.
There were also some gunners with rifles on the side, aiming at the firing port of the bunker. They specially added that they would shoot at the enemies in front of them.
The soldiers of the 3rd Battalion didn't find it strange anymore when they saw some of the enemies falling from afar.
That's what the security guards did with the mirror guns
The devil's killing voice shook the sky, and Lugouqiao did not lose an inch of land.
Ji Changwen would shake the phone that was almost impossible to ring from time to time.
In his opinion, this battle was a little strange.
How could the enemy be so stupid as to attack in the direction that Chen Li's brother had set?
However, what Chen Li said was all right!
What should he do next?
Wanping City's defenses were not a problem at all.
He couldn't contact the higher-ups either.
The losses were also far beyond the acceptable range. Acceptable meant that Wanping would not be lost, and the 3rd Battalion would fight to the last man.
Everyone in Wanping City had been sent to the tunnels by Chen Li to hide. At least now, they did not have to worry about the Japanese artillery.
Ji Changwen was a little confused. If that was the case, how could the devils occupy the three eastern provinces and attack the capital? Were those people all pigs?
He thought of the time when he first met Chen Li.
He had said that if the Japanese really attacked one day, would they be interested in doing something big with him?
Previously, he did not take it to heart. In these occasions, many of them were empty talk. However, at this time, he had some thoughts.
Wanping City experienced a second round of bombardment, and this time, there was no counterattack.
Actually, Ji Changwen didn't expect any retaliation.
Chen Li and his brother had given him the two Type 92 Infantry Cannons, and he wouldn't be willing to use them until the last moment. Of course, there was no need to use them now.
Just like that, the Japanese charged towards their own firing point. Before they could charge, they had already been partially taken out by the snipers on the city wall. Further ahead was the area covered by the firing point.
With Chen Li's replenishment of machine gun ammunition, there was really a lot of it. No matter how hard the machine gunners fought, they could still fight for a few days.
As for the 92 Infantry Cannon, it was better to keep it as a defensive magic weapon.
Ji Changwen observed the battle line. It was as stable as he had imagined…
Defense-wise, offense-wise.
After that, he thought again. What was the big thing that Brother Chen Li was talking about?
