Chapter 381: Counterattack III
The fire support units and artillery units of the Northland Volunteer Army were still shelling the Japanese Kwantung Army, and before launching the general attack, the reconnaissance planes had already located the positions of the five divisions and artillery units of the Kwantung Army, and all the targets were locked in advance.

At this time, Wang Tiehan's division of the Second Army of the Beidi Volunteer Army had already launched an attack on Herbin, Feng Zhanhai's division of the Seventh Army had also begun to attack Jilin, and the Xing Zhanqing division of the Ninth Army had attacked Fengtian.
After the outbreak of the Far East War, the 12th Division followed the Japanese Far East Army into the Far East to fight, and this place was handed over to the Kwantung Army to defend.
However, the Kwantung Army drew all the main divisions and regiments to participate in the attack on the Northland Volunteers, leaving only some garrisons in the rear.
In the face of the mighty Second and Seventh Armies, will some garrisons be able to hold off the attack?
Obviously, this area is almost as close as if there was no army to defend it.
In the west, the 1st Division of the Beidi Volunteer Army Garrison in the Rehe Mountains moved south and suddenly entered the Shanhaiguan Pass, which caught the Shanhaiguan garrison by surprise.
Although the combat effectiveness of the Kwantung Army garrison was quite strong, it was a pity that they were defenseless and did not expect the Northern Volunteers to counterattack at all.
Coupled with the pitiful small number of troops, it was only a matter of time before they were wiped out by the garrison division of the Northland Volunteers.
In this narrow strip of western Liaoning, the 1st Division is responsible for the western part. The 2nd Division was responsible for the east of Suizhong, and the various units had already allocated their troops according to the strength of the Kwantung Army, and attacked the garrisons in various places separately.
Except for about one division, which was scattered over the vast northeast land, all the forces of the Japanese Kwantung Army were concentrated in the battlefield near Zhangwu, which was also the most important battlefield in the entire northeast.
Obviously, as long as Feng Tian can mobilize the main force of the Kwantung Army to the front line of Zhangwu, Feng Tian's preset battle plan has been successful.
And under the powerful firepower of the Northland Volunteer Army, not to mention the strength of the five divisions of the Kwantung Army, no matter how much it is useful, it will inevitably be destroyed by powerful firepower, not to mention the crushing of tank clusters, the tragedy of the Kwantung Army is inevitable.
The point is that the rocket artillery falls very evenly, which is more lethal than the artillery unit.
Thinking about the explosion state of the net-like landing point formed by the rocket artillery, the mortality rate of the Japanese army will be absolutely amazing.
Under such heavy firepower, the whole sky turned red.
At this time, the shelling came to an end, and the armored units of the Northland Volunteers took the lead.
According to the usual practice, a division of the armored unit is generally equipped with more than 300 tanks, and it is ingenious to cover the sky, with a brigade equipped with 322 tanks, and a cluster of 644 tanks in the first division and two brigades, which crushed the Japanese in the south.
The armored cluster is the offensive force of the Northland Volunteers, and Feng Tian believes that the so-called cluster, in addition to powerful firepower and indestructible armor, must also have a certain number of advantages.
Therefore, the armored cluster is over-configured to form a powerful attack force.
What an over-specification, this Nima's luxury.
Feng Tian's mind is very simple, even if the opponent's troops are large, my steel torrent will crush it, even if it can't be wiped out, it will break up the enemy's camp, making the Japanese Kwantung Army lose its normal resistance.
Indeed, the Japanese Kwantung Army had just suffered a powerful firepower attack, and its casualties were extremely heavy, and the army had lost its formation and was now in a state of chaos.
In fact, at this time, the dispatch of infantry to finish is completely valid.
However, Feng Tian did not do this, he believed that since the Northland Volunteers had such a strong armored force, there was no need to increase the casualties of his own army, and before the infantry was dispatched, the armored forces must be repeatedly attacked by the Kwantung Army, so that it would completely lose the ability to resist.
Therefore, after the first round of charges by the armored group, the First Army launched an offensive immediately after the armored group, and the heavy division of the First Army took the lead, and the powerful tank group was once again crushed.
Tragedy, in the face of this torrent of steel, how many troops can the Japanese Kwantung Army have left?
Even if some soldiers survived, I am afraid that they would be in shock and would have already lost their combat effectiveness.
The war was fought like this, and the so-called end by the infantry was actually not a big fight.
Nearly 700 tanks were galloping at a speed of 40 kilometers per hour, their muzzles flashing with flames, and they opened fire as they ran, and the dense artillery fire bombarded the already miserable chaos of the Japanese and Japanese Kwantung Army.
More than 700 tanks, that's more than 700 guns, one shell covers 10 meters, how much area should 700 shells cover?
The problem is that every tank doesn't just fire one shot, it's a constant fire.
Is this a scorched earth tactic, it must be a scorched earth tactic, and it is also a repeated covering bombing to completely turn this piece of land into scorched earth.
Nima, what army can withstand such a devastation, first the carpet bombing and striking of rocket artillery, the artillery units of various armies, and finally the artillery bombardment of tank clusters, it doesn't count if the Kwantung Army is not bombarded into scum.
Indeed, the current Kwantung Army suffered heavy casualties, and even those who did not die were dizzy and almost deaf in their ears.
The tank group did not slow down at all, the muzzles fired at targets at a distance, and machine guns were used to strafe targets at close range, and the Japanese troops in front of the tanks had no time to dodge and were instantly crushed into meatloaf.
Think about such a dense tank group, how many Japanese troops were crushed by tanks alone?
Shelling, machine-gun fire, crushing, the clusters of tanks rumbled away in a southerly direction. As if it were not a war, but a rush to the road.
Yes, the original battle plan was formulated in this way, the armored troops did not need to stop and fire, special emphasis was placed on speed, and they must arrive at Panjin as quickly as possible, so as not to give the Japanese Kwantung Army any respite.
The 1st Army of the Northland Volunteers followed the roar of the armored cluster, the heavy division took the lead, and the infantry division followed closely behind, facing the Kwantung Army and crushing it.
Nima, it's a tank again, isn't it a waste.
Originally, this war did not require armored clusters to participate in the battle, and the heavy divisions alone could make the Kwantung Army lose its combat effectiveness.
Feng Tian's purpose in doing this is not to end the battle quickly.
Indeed, the two sides of this kind of war have too much contrast in the balance of forces, and the Kwantung Army has no strength to fight back at all.
Except for the tanks of the Heavy Division, the other infantry divisions of the First Army of the Northland Volunteer Army are faster, and they are all mechanized, can they not be fast?
This army did not slow down either, and ran over the Kwantung Army, whether it was tanks or tanks, and opened fire when they saw the Kwantung Army soldiers, but unfortunately, there were not many survivors left.
In this case, those living Kwantung Army soldiers were not as good as dead, and once they were discovered, they were immediately machine-gunned into a sieve.
There is no way, there are more people and less meat, everyone is staring at every living creature on the battlefield, and it is strange if they are not unlucky.
After these two rounds of crushing, unless a very small number of Kwantung Army soldiers cleverly lay on the ground and pretended to be dead, they would be killed on the spot.
Of course, it also depends on your luck, if a tank happens to run over you, you can only consider yourself unlucky.
After two rounds of crushing, the doom did not end, the first army of the Northland Volunteer Army had just passed, and a division of the garrison army followed.
The Northland Volunteer garrison was also mechanized, except that they rode in trucks and rumbled south.
All trucks have their guns pointed at the ground, searching for any moving target, and if they are found, it will be a dead end.
This Nima's is really through a sieve, yes, it is to go through the sieve over and over again, and never give the Kwantung Army a chance to breathe.
All the mechanized armies have passed, and everything is not over, and the 100,000 peasant reclamation troops of the Northland Volunteers have followed. They pressed south in huge formations, guns in hand, searching for every target.
In fact, when the peasant troops came up, there was almost no fighting, and the last hurdle as the first place was just a leak, the soldiers held bayonets, and the dead had to be stabbed with bayonets, and those who did not die were directly shot and killed.
In order not to spare any of the survivors of the Kwantung Army, the Northland Volunteer Army's agricultural reclamation units were in a tight formation and pushed forward in a dragnet.
If all the agricultural reclamation troops were to be dispatched, there would be 200,000 people on the battlefield here, and in this case, it would be almost impossible for anyone to slip through the net. This is a sieving method, and the purpose is only to solve the problem all at once and achieve the goal of completely annihilating the Japanese Kwantung Army.
The sad Kwantung Army suffered such a powerful attack that even if it was dying, it was not known what happened?
What is powerful, not how can your army soldiers fight, then all wood is useful, in the face of such a powerful torrent of steel, the Kwantung Army soldiers can fight again, so what?
Man is flesh after all, and wood is useful against steel.
Fengtian is fighting an asymmetrical war, a rapid war, and this kind of war has exceeded the cognition of the Japanese Kwantung Army.
Why did Fengtian quickly eliminate the Japanese Kwantung Army, in addition to quickly recovering the lost territory, the main thing was to take all the land in the Far East before the Japanese knew about it, and at the same time, it was also necessary to create a super shock to deter the Japanese War Department.
As for the Kwantung Army's telegram, an emergency to the headquarters and the like, this is almost impossible, probably at this time the Kwantung Army command did not know that their army had been wiped out and completely wiped out.
I don't know how to describe this battle, let's say blitzkrieg, it has a little meaning, but the blitzkrieg in Germany during World War II, I'm afraid it wasn't fought like this, right?
At least it would not be a waste to use tanks to run over them repeatedly, and it is estimated that Germany would not use such a powerful tank cluster against the strength of several divisions.
Of course, the German blitzkrieg has not yet begun, and if the Germans were on the scene, they would have been hooked.
