Chapter 54: A Different Great Wall War of Resistance

Yang Feng had no time to pester Elena, stuffed her to the company, and then told Ye Yan to watch out for this guy. He traveled back that night and drove directly to Tianjin as usual. Then he called the US military to protect him through Jensen. While unloading the ship and loading the car, Yang Feng learned about the situation on the front line.

This was a completely different Great Wall War. Guan Linzheng actually defended Gubeikou, instead of suffering heavy losses in history, even going to the hospital, and then Du Yuming cleaned up the remains and retreated to the Nantianmen.

The reason is Yang Feng's cannon.

The Northeast Army's performance was as bad as ever. The Young Master Division fought well in the early stage. Unfortunately, when his spirit was lost, he showed his true form and left without saying goodbye to the 25th Division. After the Japanese occupied its position, they worked hard to move their mountain cannons and then shot the 25th Division from a high point. This was the main reason for the heavy casualties of the 25th Division, but this time, the Japanese army, which had good intelligence before the war, suffered great trouble, and their artillery became Guan Linzheng's living targets. The sudden appearance of American M1 howitzers, with their range far beyond the range of any Japanese artillery, directly razed the opponent to the ground.

However, the artillery of the 25th Division, which lacked air defense weapons, suffered heavy losses in the subsequent air strikes, and at least half of them were blown up. Guan Linzheng had to hide the cannons. After all, this was lent to him by the 29th Army, and it was all out of the way. However, this was enough. The Japanese army, which had lost artillery support, had no great advantage over the 25th Division in light weapons. The two sides still fought bloody battles in Gubeikou until now. At least when Yang Feng knew the battle situation, Gubeikou was still in the hands of the 25th Division.

If the situation in Gubeikou can only say that the Japanese army is not going well, it can only be said that blood flows into a river at Xifengkou. Compared with the original history, the Twenty-Nine Army, which has more than twice the firepower, has actually won a great victory with its terrain advantage.

Because Wang Changhai's regiment outside the pass was strongly overwhelmed the Japanese army for three days, leaving enough time for Song Zheyuan to deploy defense. When the Japanese army really attacked Xifengkou, they were only bullets like storms. The firepower of the light weapons was completely suppressed. The terrifying rate of fire of one hundred MG13 hit the Japanese army everywhere, and the artillery was completely suppressed. Whether it was the Type 41 mountain cannon or the Type 38 field cannon, the range was not as good as the M1 howitzer. Although the artillery technology of the 29th Army was a little worse, the range advantage made up for this. The artillery bombed the Japanese army to the point of being scattered.

Especially on this front, the Japanese plane suffered heavy losses for the first time. The sudden appearance of the Bronning M2 large-caliber machine gun and white phosphorus bullets caused the Japanese plane to lose six in the first round of bombing. You should know that the Japanese planes participated in the Great Wall Campaign in total, and one-tenth of the loss immediately made them much more awake. Effective air defense protection also made the artillery soldiers of the 29th Army more calm.

This is not the most troublesome thing for the Japanese army. What they can't stand the most are the mortars. These mortars that cover every regiment of the 29th Army not only completely suppressed the Japanese mortars, but also had a fire density far exceeding them. Song Zheyuan, who had reserved 5,000 shells, was not hesitant to these shells, and they even used artillery fire to block the mortars of each regiment.

In the first day of the battle alone, the Japanese army left more than 400 corpses at Xifengkou, but the 29th Army suffered less than 200 casualties. So far, the Japanese army has suffered nearly a corps at Xifengkou. Such results have caused a sensation across the country, and even Westerners are a little dumbfounded.

"Yang, your 29th Army kicked the Japanese in the ass hard." Daniel said to Yang Feng with a smile.

Yang Feng smiled and shrugged. He knew very well that this situation could not last too long. The Japanese army's logistics supply capacity was not comparable to that of the Chinese army. The 29th Army had to finish the M1 shells or the Bolangning bullets, but the Japanese army did not need to care about this. Even if their artillery was exhausted, they would be able to be replenished soon. However, for the Chinese army, there would probably be only bullets and mortar shells that could be replenished, and at that time they would have to return to the point of filling in human life.

The only hope now is that such losses can cause concern to the Japanese and provide some favorable conditions for future armistice negotiations.

After returning to Peking, Yang Feng still placed the goods in the warehouse of the Zen Foreign Company, and then called Tong Linge, who was staying in Zhangjiakou, and he sent soldiers to take a train to transport all the food to Zhangjiakou.

Tong Linge came in person. In addition to a battalion soldiers, he also brought the Chahar Provincial Government to pay the rewards, gold, silver dollars, high-end medicinal materials, antiques, and even some precious animal skins. A large part of them were donated by Chahar merchants. They knew very well that if the Sixth Army had not blocked Duolun, the safety of Zhangjiakou would be unsafe, and they would have to grit their teeth and raise these bandits, at least they were more reliable than the Northeast Army.

"Oh, Brother Tong, you're looking at this that cost you a lot." Yang Feng said reluctantly, stroking a piece of sable fur.

These furs not only contain sable fur, but also good things like bear fur and tiger fur. Although these are not easy to get back, it is still very cost-effective to sell them here.

"Brother Yang, don't say these polite words. The 29th Army entrusted you with the blessing, but now I am proud!" Tong Lingge said with a smile. Whenever the people along the way came to Peking this time, no one of them was just picking their fingers. This made them feel vanity. The soldiers were so proud that they had to look down when they saw the Northeast Army.

"Where are the brothers who work hard, I just tried my best."

"Brother Yang, there is a batch of antiques here. Sun Kuiyuan asked me to hand over it. See how much it is, he wants to replace it with mortars." Tong Linge carried out several wooden boxes alone and said.

There are all good things in it. Yang Feng can see that it is of great value without antique dealers. The pearls and jades alone are dazzled by him, let alone a few fruits made of gems. I guess if this box is auctioned abroad, it will be able to exchange all his investments during this period.

Of course, he also knew that these things were not easy to deal with. In fact, only a small part of the antiques he made in the past were sold. After all, many of them were cultural relics. Although he had no psychological burden to exchange cultural relics for foreigners' money, to be honest, the Chinese destroyed these things that were of no use to the country and nation except for good looks. If he was the leader of the country, a foreigner now told him that he could give him a F22 fighter jet and then exchange Si Muwu's big pot. He would agree without hesitation that if it was not enough, the four sheep big wine pot could be put on.

But the key problem is that he can't get this thing out. Of course, he doesn't mind smuggling it out, but he doesn't lack money for the time being, so there is no need to take such risks.

Forget it, some of Sun Dianying’s things can be directly sold. It should be easy to sell tens of millions of dollars. If not, give him a hundred mortar, which is only a hundred million.
