Chapter 118 Japanese Operations

With the assistance of the plane, Ishihara was very determined, and immediately suggested to Jiro Tamen that a reconnaissance plane be sent to reconnoiter the situation of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in the Shenyang area, spy on their military deployment, and so on. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Because all the Japanese in Shenyang were baptized by Xu Guoren, this led to the uprooting of the Japanese intelligence organizations that had been lurking in Shenyang for many years.

Therefore, at this time, Ishihara Waner did not know anything about the situation in Shenyang City, but fortunately now he had an air force.

Domen Jiro readily agreed, and sent two reconnaissance planes to Shenyang for reconnaissance.

In order to avoid being discovered by the Northeast Air Force at the Dongta airfield, two Japanese reconnaissance planes flew in a roundabout way toward Shenyang from the east and west.

Avoiding the East Tower airfield, one of them spotted a huge retreating crowd.

Seeing that there was an opportunity, the Japanese reconnaissance plane drove the reconnaissance plane out of the clouds, and with the roar of its engine, it swooped down towards the retreating crowd.

More than 100,000 people and tens of thousands of people marched in a queue that stretched for more than ten miles, so Guo Xiaoliu and Zhang Dongsheng were separated, and they took a part of the cavalry along the way to protect and maintain order.

The devil's reconnaissance plane found that it happened to be the section of the team that Zhang Baoguo was in charge of, and when he saw the enemy plane attacking, Zhang Baoguo was taken aback, and immediately ordered the cavalry around him to prepare air defense, and at the same time ordered the people and the people to lie down and hide.

However, the people were not trained soldiers after all, and when they saw the attack of the devil's plane, they could not care to listen to the command of the National Salvation Army, so they scattered and fled, and the entire marching queue suddenly fell into chaos.

No matter how Zhang Baoguo and hundreds of cavalrymen reprimanded, it would be useless, because there were too many people, and it was difficult to control it unless they were shot.

But how could the National Salvation Army shoot at its own people? If they really want to do this, Xu Guoren will definitely not be able to spare them.

At this time, the devil's reconnaissance plane had already rushed down, and the two on-board machine guns began to fire and strafe.

Some civilians have been unable to take shelter and there have been casualties.

Zhang Baoguo was in a hurry, and immediately ordered: "Machine gunner, give me concentrated firepower and hit it!" ”

The enemy has only one plane, and with a dense fire of hundreds of people, even if it can't shoot it down, it can scare the devil plane away.

Moreover, in the distance, a cavalry led by Zhang Dongsheng had already received the news and was coming quickly.

More than a dozen light machine gunners, armed with light machine guns, began to take the lead in firing at the Japanese reconnaissance planes in the air.

Although the fighters lacked experience in air defense, and the intensity of firepower was far inferior to that of anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns, the rain of bullets that roared by really frightened the devil pilots.

Hurriedly and quickly pulled up, fled, and no longer dared to strafe the crowd on the ground.

Anyway, he had already detected very important information, and there was no need to covet this little profit in front of him.

After the devil's plane fled, Zhang Dongsheng also brought reinforcements over and asked Zhang Baoguo: "How is it?" Are there many casualties? ”

"Fortunately, our cavalry casualties are not large, and the people have some casualties!" Zhang Baoguo looked at the sky where the Japanese machine disappeared, and said hatefully: "The little Japan raised by the son of a bitch is running too fast!" Otherwise, you must beat him down and avenge the people! ”

Zhang Dongsheng soothed: "Okay, our task is to escort the people and the arsenal to evacuate safely to the mouth of the Meihe River, quickly organize people to collect the fleeing people, and then send medical soldiers to treat the wounded people!" Then continue on your way. ”

"Yes!" Zhang Baoguo responded, and quickly led his soldiers to act according to the order.

At Liaoyang Airport, after the Japanese reconnaissance plane returned, it quickly reported the reconnaissance information to Jiro Tamon, Ishihara Waner and other high-ranking officials of the headquarters.

"Ishihara-kun, what do you think? Is the Chinese army going to give up Shenyang? Jiro Tamon looked at Ishihara and asked with some confusion.

"This is not surprising!" Ishihara Wan'er frowned, and analyzed: "After the outbreak of the Manchurian Incident, the China government and the Northeast Army led by Zhang Xueliang did not dare to resist, and now Jilin, Heilongjiang and many miscellaneous units of the former Northeast Army in Liaoning have been telegraphed to return to the Great Japanese Empire, and the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army of Xu Guoren and Huang Xiansheng is already a lone army strategically!"

Shenyang is also a lonely city! And the Imperial Army will receive a steady stream of support, so even if they have won a few battles and have some advantages, in the overall long run, the Imperial Army will gradually regain the upper hand!

Therefore, it is not surprising that they are ready to abandon Shenyang in advance. ”

Domen Jiro nodded in agreement with Ishihara's analysis and asked, "Then Ishihara-kun, do you have any ideas for dealing with the enemy forces in Shenyang?" ”

Ishihara Wan'er pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said to Tamen Jiro: "Your Excellency General, I suggest that you immediately organize troops to attack the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in Shenyang, and you can't give them time to calmly organize a retreat!" And to capture Shenyang, we must first seize the Dongta Airport, even if we can't get it, we must destroy it, only by completely seizing air supremacy, can we establish an absolute superiority!

However, the National Salvation Army has organized so many convoys, I am afraid that it is not just as simple as evacuating the people, I think, it should be transferring the machinery and equipment of the Shenyang Arsenal and the materials hoarded in Shenyang! So, I think we should send a mobile force, using a wide range of detour tactics, to bypass Shenyang, maneuver to the rear of the enemy, and attack their retreating army! Even if you can't defeat their escorts, inflict as much damage on them as possible!

For example, destroy the convoy they withdrew from Shenyang, and destroy as much of the materials and equipment they transferred as possible. Because, what the imperial army can't get, can't let the Chinese army get! ”

Duomen Jiro nodded happily and agreed: "Yo Xi, it makes sense, then send the 2nd Cavalry Wing to carry out this big roundabout battle plan!" ”

"I suggest that Seishiro Itagaki be the commander of this combat operation, and he will lead this cavalry to make a detour!" Ishihara said: "Itagaki-kun is an excellent imperial soldier with keen judgment and good military literacy, so with him leading the team, the certainty of success is higher!" ”

The chief of staff next to him interjected: "In addition to the cavalry wing of our division, can the cavalry of the 20th division also be called up to participate in this operation?" In this way, the certainty of success will be a little greater! ”

"Yo Xi, as Ishihara-kun said, Seishiro Itagaki is the commander of this operation! I will send a telegram to the headquarters of the 20th Division, asking them to transfer the 20th Cavalry Wing directly under them to us to participate in this operation! ”

"Also, Your Excellency, in order to better command the frontal attack of the troops and boost morale, I suggest that you better move the headquarters forward! It is better to be able to move to the Shenyang front. "Ishihara Wanerdao.

"Well, that's right." Jiro Tamon still appreciates Ishihara's opinion, and he also has this intention, so he readily agrees to Ishihara's suggestion.
