Chapter 559: From now on, the Japanese surname is "Li" (please subscribe!) )
By the time the 30,000 Japanese cavalry came over, the Liangshan Army had basically finished dividing and encircling the isolated main force of the enemy.
In other words, the victory and defeat have been decided, and the next step is to encircle and destroy the enemy in the encirclement network.
Yue Fei calmly sent the 30,000 reserves in his hand to meet this surprise attack force.
And from beginning to end, Li Yan's pro-guard army, the Liberation Army and the Tabai Army have not moved.
At this point in the battle, there is almost no suspense about the outcome of the battle.
Li Yan took Yuzao and returned to the Chinese army's tent under the escort of Chen Liqing, Hu Sanniang, Liang Hongyu, Fang Baihua, Qiong Ying, Yelu Ta Lipo and others, waiting for further news.
Some people may ask, is Li Yan so confident in the blitzkrieg?
That's right, Li Yan is really so confident in the blitzkrieg.
With six armored divisions, four lightly armored divisions, and four motorized divisions as the main assault force, the Germans broke through the defense line of about 800,000 troops of the six Polish armies in western Poland. The rapid and in-depth advance of the German armored forces and air force quickly tore apart and encircled the large but outdated Polish army, and the Polish campaign ended in just one month. More than 60,000 Polish troops were killed, 130,000 were wounded, more than 910,000 were taken prisoner (of which, nearly 700,000 were captured by the Germans and more than 200,000 by the Soviets), 100,000 fled to neighboring countries, while the Germans only lost more than 10,000 killed, more than 30,000 wounded, and more than 3,000 missing.
At the beginning of World War II, based on the above theory, Hitler preemptively struck the enemy, concentrated the army and air force, and attacked the enemy like lightning suddenly appearing in the dark night, and the offensive was fierce and invincible - from September 1939 to June 1940, he used blitzkrieg to occupy Poland, Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, Belgium, France and other countries. Specifically, Poland was conquered in 27 days, Denmark was conquered in one hour, Norway was conquered in 23 days, the Netherlands was conquered in 5 days, Belgium was conquered in 10 days, and France was conquered in 39 days, which was known as the "strongest army in Europe......
In 1941 Hitler again attacked the Soviet Union with a blitzkrieg, reaching the outskirts of Moscow in December.
After World War II, especially with the development of missile nuclear weapons, blitzkrieg was still regarded by the superpowers as an effective form of warfare, whether it was the Middle East War or the Gulf War, blitzkrieg became the only way to win the battle.
The suddenness of the blitzkrieg operation can make up for the lack of troops, and it can outnumber the enemy.
What's more critical is its shocking power - this kind of crushing attack can easily break through the enemy's psychological defenses, and then make the enemy surrender as a formation.
Of course, it's not that Blitz doesn't have weaknesses, control and supply are the biggest weaknesses of Blitzkrieg.
But—
In this decisive battle, there is no need to worry about these two weaknesses - the depth of the Japanese army is not that big at all, and it is too backward, and Yue Fei controls it very well, and it can even be said that he is at ease, so there should be no suspense in this battle.
When it was almost dark, Yue Fei came to see Li Yan and said, "Your Majesty, the surprise attack of the Japanese army has been defeated by our Liangshan army, and now sixty or seventy thousand Japanese troops have surrendered, and this battle is completely under the control of our Liangshan army." ”
Li Yan nodded and said: "Well, you played well, but you can't be proud, we haven't won completely, weaving baskets and baskets, it's all about closing the mouth, if you don't play well in the last stage, you won't be a famous general, but a laughing stock." ”
Yue Fei said very calmly: "The minister understands. ”
After a pause, Yue Fei said: "Your Majesty, the minister wants to divide the reserves in the minister's hands into an army to bypass the war zone and attack Kyoto...... If the defeated army flees back to Heiankyo, we may have to work a lot more to attack Heiankyo. ”
The reserve team in Yue Fei's hand had the task of protecting Li Yan, so Yue Fei asked Li Yan for instructions.
Li Yan thought for a while and asked, "Are you sure that there is no suspense in this battle?" ”
Yue Fei replied truthfully: "When the two armies are fighting, anything can happen, and no one dares to say that it is certain until the dust settles, and now we can only say that there is a great possibility that our Liangshan army will win a complete victory." ”
Seeing that Yue Fei was so sober, Li Yan was completely relieved, and said, "Teach Yang Yizhong and Yao Xing to take the troublesome army to go, and your reserve team will stay just in case." ”
Yue Fei also felt that it would be more appropriate for the Liberation Army or the White Army to bypass the battlefield and attack Heianjing, so he said, "No! ”
Ignoring the eager eyes of Chen Liqing and the other women, Li Yan directly called Yang Yizhong and Yao Xing, and then asked the two of them to immediately lead the troops to set off.
As for Chen Liqing and the other women, wash and sleep, "War is not child's play, this kind of critical battle naturally has to be handed over to more suitable people, you guys should honestly protect my safety." ”
……
Two days later.
The surrendered Japanese army has reached 210,000, and the number of Japanese soldiers killed has reached nearly 100,000.
Although the battle was not completely over, the two pincers of the Liangshan Army had already been encircled, except for the tens of thousands of Japanese troops who ran away in advance, the hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops in the encirclement network were just dying and struggling.
At this time, the Liberation Army, which bypassed the battlefield and attacked Heianjing, also sent back news - they had broken through Heianjing, and asked Li Yan to move to Heianjing.
The war against Japan, which lasted for more than half a year, should be said to have won a complete victory in Shuibo Liangshan.
As for the hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops who were still resisting, the remnants of the defeated generals and local armed forces in various places, as well as the escaped Emperor Shirakawa and Emperor Toba, could no longer change the outcome of this national war.
Next, although it is inseparable from the war, but it is more political and business, as a monarch, Li Yan's eyes cannot only focus on the war, especially after the war has almost already had a result, because from now on Japan will be surnamed "Li".
Yue Fei drew two infantry armies for Li Yan, plus the Tabai Army and the first battalion, and gave Li Yan a total of 50,000 troops to escort Li Yan to Heianjing.
Kyoto, that is, Heiankyo, is located in the central and western part of Japan's main island of Honshu, located in the north of the Kyoto Basin, only five kilometers away from Lake Biwa, the largest lake in Japan, surrounded by the Tamba Mountains, the Hira Mountains and the Kibune Mountains on the east, west and north, and the urban area opens up to Osaka Bay in the south with the Kyoto Basin in the shape of a giant pocket, with an area of 610 square kilometers and a population of more than 1.6 million (there are not so many now, after several wars, Kyoto is now only more than one million people. )。
The army walked for most of the day, and finally came to the territory of Heianjing, and also met the trouble-relieving horse army who came to respond.
Under the leadership of Yao Xing, the army walked for about half an hour, and Li Yan and his party finally came to the legendary Heianjing.
