Beiping City.
The Japanese rule in Beiping was brutal, and the rickshaw puller Wen San was just one of the ordinary people who was bullied.
In the Beiping Wolf Smoke film, a rickshaw puller was portrayed.
Wen San, tired from pulling his rickshaw, stopped at a tea stall for a drink.
“Wen Ye, you’re really tired. Do any of you know why the Japanese are retreating?”
The Japanese division and regiment, who had previously been swaggering, were now retreating in an orderly fashion, several thousand strong. Hundreds of trucks loaded with Japanese soldiers, with Type 92 infantry cannons trailing behind.
Dozens of “Little Bean Sprout” tanks and armored vehicles were retreating in a panic, driving out of the city. A jeep with the North China Japanese Army Commander Yan Jun Liu was also among them.
The traitor Lu Zhong Yong, who had always been arrogant and domineering, was so scared that he collapsed on the ground.
“It’s over… it’s over… The Japanese are completely retreating! The Red Alert Army is attacking!”
This was the first time Wen San had seen the traitor so discomposed and afraid. “Hey, you used to bully Wen Ye all the time, today Wen Ye is going to give you a few slaps!”
Wen San gave the traitor a good beating, feeling much better now. He was going to join the Red Alert Army.
…
Yan Jun Liu knew that if he were to fall into a street battle within a city, he could surely hold off the Red Alert.
Yan Jun Liu also knew that if he stayed within the city, he would be dead.
So, Yan Jun Liu withdrew from Beiping, aiming to retreat towards the Kwantung Army. He would then take a plane directly back to the Japanese mainland.
What did Yan Jun Liu care about the lives of the Japanese soldiers?
The Japanese 26th Division was originally the expanded 2nd Mixed Brigade of the Kwantung Army, with three infantry regiments, armored reconnaissance vehicles, mountain guns, field guns, engineer regiments, and a transportation regiment, totaling 10,000 men.
The 26th Division was very valiant, fighting to the death in Changping, Mentougou, and Fangshan.
After dozens of battles, large and small, between the Japanese and the Red Alert, the Japanese became even more ferocious.
On the 26th Division's position… tens of thousands of corpses littered the field, the blood staining the earth red.
…
Lin Zheng could choose two ways to produce troops, one was the Red Alert soldiers/conscripts produced by the Red Alert base.
They were equipped with helmets and armor, M60 machine guns or PPSh-41 submachine guns.
The second way was to produce weapons and equipment in large quantities at the Red Alert base, including Type 56 semi-automatic rifles, AK47 rifles, etc.
He would then arm auxiliary legions, such as the Southeast Asian Legion, the Yunnan Army Legion, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army Legion, etc.
Lin Zheng continuously sent reinforcements to the China battlefield, easily deterring the Far East Army.
More than 300,000 Red Alert soldiers traveled south on the Far East branch line, carrying French cannons with them.
The French cannons were based on the 380 mm Adolf cannon produced by Germany during World War II.
Each shell weighed half a ton to a ton and was equipped with an advanced fire control system.
Each cannon cost 2000 Red Alert credits.
On the 26th Division's position, the Japanese were eating and resting.
Their food had been downgraded from beef to canned offal, and they were forced to rest under the constant threat of fire.
The Japanese had dug underground defensive systems to reduce the impact of shelling.
These underground shelters were typically dug five meters deep, but what if they were collapsed? If they collapsed, they would be buried alive!
Boom——
Boom——! Boom——
Dozens of giant cannon shells, more terrifying than any previous attack! The kinetic energy of the explosions shook the air, causing tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers to experience a buzzing in their ears!
Their ears were bleeding, they were deaf and could not hear anything. One huge, several-meter-deep crater after another, black mushroom clouds blooming one after another!
Doomsday-level weapons, exceeding those of World War II!
What the hell is this? A cannon?
What kind of cannon is so terrifying!
This power surpasses that of naval guns!
The face of the 26th Division commander turned green. “Take cover! This is the Red Alert’s general attack with giant cannons. Quickly notify the Tokyo Imperial Headquarters that the Red Alert has new weapons!”
Boom——!!
Normally, a 300 mm caliber cannon takes a long time to load and fire. There is no automatic loading system; it takes ten to twenty minutes for each shot.
But the French cannon produced by the Red Alert fired once every half a minute.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!
The 26th Division's position was ripped apart. Every bunker on the ground was blown to smithereens. The division's Japanese soldiers were buried alive.
The division's armored reconnaissance vehicles were reduced to scrap metal. The engineers and the transportation regiment were wiped out.
The 26th Division commander suddenly understood… why the terrifying Far Eastern Bear had been defeated!
…
Near the battlefield, the Military Observation Camp.
A German officer with a hooked nose, white skin, and golden hair.
The failed art student visited Lin Zheng and brought with him dozens of German officers. The stated purpose was to observe the battlefield.
They were observing the battlefield up close, and observing the Red Alert Army up close.
Bob looked at the battlefield through his binoculars and was dumbfounded!
Holy cow!
God!
Bob looked at the Red Alert Army's cannon position through his binoculars. The firing rate of half a minute per shot made his eyelids twitch!
More than 300 mm and such a fast firing rate, the terrifying power that ripped the Japanese division's position apart!
“…This is a cannon? A cannon that destroys everything?”
“The German Gustav Cannon, 800 mm caliber, can only be transported on a giant transport train. It takes 1000 people to unload and set it up. The total weight is 1400 tons, and the key is that it’s slow to fire!”
“It can only fire once every two hours, right?”
A blond German officer nodded.
“Right, it can only fire once every two hours!”
“That’s much slower than the Red Alert? ”
“Are we fighting in a real World War II?”
