Chapter 732: Attacking Jinzhou (3)
"Smack!"
The door of Wang Guo's family was finally knocked open, and when three or four soldiers rushed in, they saw a shivering young man dressed as a peasant standing in front of a Japanese corpse with a Type 38 rifle......
After a long time, the young man who was standing next to the corpse slowly turned around, looked at several soldiers of the National Army in front of him and asked, "Master Jun, do you still need people there?" ”
"Boom ......"
A mortar shell exploded in a wide courtyard, and the shock wave from the violent explosion lifted the two soldiers five or six meters into the air, and by the time they fell heavily to the ground, they were all dead. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Moximoxi, this is Command, where are you?"
"Baga, hold on, this is a death order, if you can't hold it, you will break it with the position!"
There was a noisy voice in the headquarters, more than a dozen staff officers were answering the phone, some were marking maps, and some were arguing loudly, and Ryota Oshima, as the supreme commander of the entire Jinzhou, was sitting on a chair and looking at the map in front of him that had been painted with red lines in a daze.
By now, the war had been going on for more than three hours, and his planned plan to use street fighting to delay the Chinese army did not have much effect, and the Chinese army used tanks and armored vehicles to quickly advance in the city, and because Ryota Oshima's troops belonged to the garrison and lacked anti-tank weapons, the Japanese army could only rely on soldiers carrying explosives on their backs to carry out meat bomb attacks, and the inefficiency of such an attack method can be imagined. The combination of more than 3,000 soldiers and more than 4,000 expatriates did not achieve the effect expected by Ryota Oshima, and in just over three hours, a small part of Jinzhou had already fallen into the hands of the Huaxia army, and at this speed, I am afraid that the entire Jinzhou will be lost before it gets dark.
"No, we can't go on like this." Ryota Oshima slammed his punch on the table, and Ryo Oshima was terrified as he watched the small red flag representing the Chinese army on the map devour the small blue flag representing the Japanese territory at a terrifying speed. As a veteran soldier who has been in the army for nearly 20 years, this kind of emotion should not appear in him, but it did happen. Perhaps it was the comfortable life in the Northeast over the years that had worn out his blood, and his heart was upset after learning that he was likely to be shot and killed by the Chinese army in the headquarters in more than three hours.
"No, I can't just die, my wife is still at home waiting for me to go back and be reunited, and my children. If I die like this, his life will definitely be very sad in the future! ”
Thoughts that have never appeared in ordinary times came to my heart like a tide, at this moment Ryota Oshima almost wanted to give up everything and escape, but this thought was abandoned by him as soon as it came to mind, and at this time any attempt to escape alone was futile, and the Huaxia people had already blocked the entire city. But it's not impossible, it seems that you can make some preparations now, thinking of it like this, Ryota's eyes couldn't help but light up......
"Staff Officer Li, order the troops to speed up again!"
Huang Weiguo sat in the back seat of a Willis jeep, watching the trucks around him roar on the road, his face was still calm on the surface, but his heart was very anxious. The heavy rain the day before yesterday made the road muddy and disrupted Su Jin's entire plan.
Originally, at this time, the transport planes loaded with soldiers and supplies had already lined up and landed at the airport in Huludao, and the entire fleet had already returned. But because of this sudden heavy rain, the whole plan was ruined. Not to mention that the transport planes could not arrive, in order to protect the safety of Huludao, the entire fleet had to risk being besieged by the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy and continue to stay in Huludao to protect Su Jin and provide air support for the entire group army.
All this stemmed from this heavy rain, and now he still has to lead the officers and men of the whole division to fight against this muddy road, and to rush to the front of the Japanese army as fast as possible to block them. Blocked ...... Jinzhou is at your fingertips and can't stop it...... It was all in vain, and even the armored division had to fall into the encirclement of the Japanese army.
Thinking of this, Huang Weiguo stretched out his hand and grabbed Staff Officer Li in the passenger seat, and said solemnly: "You send a report to Brigade Commander Li Zongxun of the 348th Brigade again, I don't care what method they use, I must stop the 135th Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army for me, if he dares to let the 135th Independent Mixed Brigade rush to Jinzhou, resulting in the failure of the 1st Armored Division to attack the city, don't come to see me!" ”
"Understood!" Staff Officer Li did not hesitate, and immediately turned on the radio station placed in front of him and began to contact the 348th Brigade.
At this moment, whether it is the 347th Division or the 135th Brigade and 119th Division of the Japanese Army, both sides are rushing towards Jinzhou with full strength, although their tasks are different, but their purpose is the same, that is, they must control the city of Jinzhou in their own hands!
Just when Huang Weiguo ordered the troops to rush towards Jinzhou desperately, a faint roar suddenly came from the sky, and soon several black shadows appeared in his sight.
"Airplane...... Division, I guess it's our plane to support us! Staff Officer Li shouted with some excitement.
"No, how did these planes come from the north?" Huang Weiguo was also happy at first, but then he was stunned, he quickly took out his telescope and looked into the sky, and after a while, a bright red Rising Sun Flag appeared in front of him, and soon Huang Weiguo's roar began to sound.
"Not good, immediately order the troops to hurry up and conceal the air defense!"
......With Huang Weiguo's roar, a series of terrible air defense sirens began to sound, and at the same time as the air defense sirens sounded, two Japanese Type 97 attack planes began to dive towards the ground, and the two bombs quickly fell in the marching queue.
"Boom ......"
A bomb landed right next to a moving truck, and with a violent explosion, the truck and the more than two dozen soldiers on it were blown into the air, and when the truck that had been turned into parts fell back to the ground, the soldiers on the car had already been blown into a cloud of blood mist by the powerful shock wave.
"Concealment...... Hidden ......"
The marching procession was filled with the heart-rending roars of the officers.
At this time, Huang Weiguo had already jumped out of the car, and hid with Staff Officer Li and the driver next to the ridge of a rice field, looking at the Japanese planes passing overhead, their faces were pale, and the losses of the troops were great if they were tossed by these planes like this.
Staff Officer Li on the side scolded: "These dogs are really fucking good at picking time, how can they make trouble at this time!" ”
"That's not right!" Huang Weiguo on the side shook his head with a somewhat solemn expression: "Looking at the situation, there is something wrong with the situation, their air force was just defeated by us two days ago, but today it has gathered such an air force to bomb us, it seems that the Kwantung Army is either jumping over the wall in a hurry or has been replenished." ”
Staff Officer Li didn't think as much as Huang Weiguo, and when he saw the bombs constantly falling around the team, he couldn't help but hurriedly say: "What the hell, how can the Japanese know the position of our troops on the march?" We didn't see a reconnaissance plane fly over our heads just now, did we? ”
Huang Weiguo gritted his teeth and said coldly: "What's so hard to guess, the Japanese have been operating here for so many years, and it is naturally normal for a few traitors in the local area to report to them." In addition, our field airfield is still under repair, and a large number of planes can only move in the mud, which gives the Japanese themselves an opportunity to take advantage of. ”
Staff Officer Li asked puzzledly, "But what about our carrier-based aircraft?" Why didn't they come? ”
"I don't know." Huang Weiguo smiled bitterly.
In fact, what Huang Weiguo and Staff Officer Li didn't know was that when the Japanese fighters secretly attacked the 347th Division, 82 shrew fighters and 45 SBD dreadnought dive bombers that had taken off from the four frigates "Bayarn," Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Meng Hui, and Di Qing were bombing the Japanese army's 135th Brigade and 119th Division in two directions.
Unlike the high-explosive bombs dropped by the Japanese army, these planes of the Third Army threw a mixture of high-explosive bombs, napalm, and ricochets designed to kill and injure infantrymen and other vicious weapons, not to mention the SBD, a dive bomber, and even the shrew fighters all carried all kinds of rockets to bomb and strafe the Japanese troops on the march.
More than ten minutes later, a staff officer hurriedly walked up to Su Jin with a telegram: "Sir, Division Commander Huang has sent an urgent report that the 347th Brigade and the 348th Brigade have been bombed by the Japanese air force, and now these two units are speeding up their march towards Jinzhou while rescuing the wounded and repairing vehicles. ”
Su Jin, who was burying his head in writing something, stiffened for a moment, but it was only for a moment, the time was so short that people almost thought it was an illusion, and after being silent for a while, he asked without raising his head: "Have the casualties been counted?" ”
"It's been roughly counted!" The staff officer said: "The 347th Brigade suffered more than 320 casualties, the 348th Brigade suffered more than 460 casualties, and the losses of vehicles, weapons and ammunition have not yet been counted!" ”
Su Jin was silent for a long time before shaking his head a little bitterly and said: "It seems that we are too careless, originally we were optimistic that after suffering a heavy blow, the Japanese air force did not have the ability to compete with us for at least a week, but now it seems that we underestimated the resilience of the Japanese himself, if I could have arranged the carrier-based aircraft of the aircraft carrier to cover Huang Guowei in the air earlier, this kind of thing would not have happened!" ”
Seeing the heavy expression on Su Jin's face, the staff officer hurriedly comforted: "Sir, you can't be blamed for this, who made our planes not enough." If it weren't for this heavy rain, we wouldn't have to be so passive now. ”
"No...... A mistake is a mistake, and making excuses for the mistakes you have made is the behavior of the weak. Su Jin shook his head and said: "What's more, since ancient times, there have been countless battles that have been defeated due to weather reasons, is it possible that we all blame God for our sins?" Instead of complaining, it is better to learn a lesson, which is what the strongest should do. ”
"Yes, the chief is right!" The staff officer replied respectfully with a look of admiration on his face, Su Jin was not only a commander who led them forward, but also an idol in their hearts.
Just as the two were talking, a thin staff officer trotted over all the way and said loudly: "Sir, news has come from our flying formation, they have just discovered the 135th Brigade and the 119th Division of the Japanese Army in Linhai and Jinxifei, dozens of kilometers away from Jinzhou, and have severely damaged them. As for the specific data, it is not yet possible to count, but it is estimated that the casualties of the Japanese army are no less than one wing, and the material losses of the Japanese army are innumerable. ”
"Great!"
The staff officers in the battle hall showed joy one by one, and now they finally avenged the soldiers of the 347th Division who died under the Japanese bombardment.
After being happy, everyone looked at Su Jin again, waiting for the commander to issue an order.
After pondering for a while, Su Jin asked the staff officer just now, "Staff Officer Qiu, what does your staff think about the next battle?" ”
I saw this Qiu staff officer say without thinking: "Sir, what else is there to say, the next thing is naturally to take advantage of his illness to kill him, quickly order all carrier-based aircraft to return, seize the time to replenish ammunition and fuel, and then continue to bomb the Japanese army, but remember one thing, we must divide a part of the fighters to protect the safety of the 347th Brigade and the 348th Brigade, as long as the 135th Brigade and the 119th Division of the Japanese Independent Mixed Brigade can be dragged on the road, then Jinzhou is ours!" ”
"Hmm!"
Su Jin nodded approvingly: "It's quite thoughtful, but have you ever thought about it, if we divide our forces to protect the 347th Brigade and the 348th Brigade, then how much air power do we have to continue to carry out air strikes on the Japanese ground forces, once the covering fighters are not enough, won't the dive bombers used for bombing become the target of the Japanese fighters?" ”
"This ......"
Staff Officer Qiu was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect this, and he was stopped at once. He immediately thought about it again, and then said cautiously: "The lesser of the two powers, since we can't take care of both, then we can only concentrate on attacking a little first, after all, as the old saying goes, it's better to cut off one of its fingers than to hurt its ten fingers." ”
"Not bad!"
Su Jin nodded approvingly, "Since that's the case, then you can give an order according to this meaning, I want to see what other means Umezu Mijiro has!" ”
As the order was issued, one after another planes hurriedly took off and flew towards Jinzhou after urgently replenishing ammunition and fuel, where a big battle awaited them...... (To be continued.) )
