Chapter 578: Battle of Vladivostok III
Nanjing, Military Council. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhang Xinghan, Jiang Baili, and other dignitaries were escorted by the officers and soldiers of Guo Zhong's guard regiment of the Secret Bureau, and quickly left.
Take a ride to the air defense site.
After arriving at the air defense site without danger, Zhang Xinghan remembered that after suffering the heavy loss of Pearl Harbor in the history of the Americans, in order to boost the morale of the army, they also organized and planned a plan to attack Tokyo, the capital of Japan.
He immediately said to Jiang Baili: "Baili, the purpose of this air raid by the Americans is to retaliate for the bombing of our capital, so as to inspire the morale of the military and to regain the trust and support of the people at home.
&n [pig] [pig] [island] novel; We must not let them succeed, and immediately order all air force garrison detachments in the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou region to completely annihilate the incoming enemy planes and prevent them from buying a single plane to escape back.
Hit hard the morale of the Americans and the willpower to fight our army. ”
"Yes!" Jiang Baili nodded thoughtfully, turned around and went to give the order in person.
…………
After receiving Zhang Xinghan's strict order, hundreds of fighter planes stationed in the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou area all took to the air.
The group of US bombers that flew from Luzon, nearly 20 bombers, did not even see a shadow of Nanjing.
Like a lamb beaten by wolves, not even a single bone was left of the entire army.
All of them turned into brilliant fireworks in the sky and scattered them on the land of China.
The US bomber group that quietly set off from Vietnam was unfortunately spotted by a group of Chinese fighter planes that had been ordered to patrol when it entered the sky over the Nanhu area.
Under the scuffle, it also ended in the annihilation of the whole army.
Without the escort of fighter jets, these US bombers, which were not as fast as the BF109 fighters and whose firepower were not as good as their firepower, became live targets.
After a hasty encounter, they didn't even have a chance to escape, so they were shot down one by one.
"Commission, solved. A total of more than 30 US bombers were shot down, and the firepower of our fighters was in full swing, and all the US bombers were killed in volleys, and none of the US pilots were spared! Jiang Baili put down the phone and turned to report to Zhang Xinghan.
Zhang Xinghan nodded when he heard this: "Very good, this time I see how Roosevelt should respond, dare to come to attack our Chinese capital, I am really impatient." ”
…………
At the same time, the command of the Pacific Fleet of the US Army in Hawaii.
Nimitz's adjutant took a telegram he had just received with a solemn face, walked up to him, and said, "Your Excellency, General." There was a call from the airfield in Vietnam and the airfield in the Philippines, and two detachments of bombers we had sent out were discovered by the enemy in an area 200 to 300 kilometers away from Nanjing, the capital of China.
It was besieged by a group of fighters several times larger than the Chinese Air Force, and all 32 B-17 Flying Fortress bombers were destroyed.
None of the crew survived. ”
Nimitz, who was smoking, stood up suddenly, and the cigar in his mouth fell silently to the ground.
"What, the whole army is annihilated? How so? Nimitz looked horrified, in disbelief.
He asked without giving up: "Did they carry out an air raid on Nanjing?" Even if a bomb falls on the city of Nanjing, it will do. ”
The adjutant shook his head and said, "No, when they were attacked." Even the shadow of Nanjing City was shot down one after another. ”
Nimitz sat down with a grimace and said a little overwhelmed: "Here, send a telegram to President Roosevelt." Report the failure of the operation......"
…………
At night, the twin cities sub-urban area.
The battle did not stop here because of the generals of the night.
With the full assistance of tanks and heavy artillery, the Chinese army destroyed part of the walls of the eastern and western parts of the city.
A large number of Chinese infantry entered the eastern and western districts that had been divided and surrounded by them, in and out of the collapsed gap.
As the Soviets engaged in a fierce battle for the city.
At the same time, a psychological offensive was launched against the Soviet troops. Take advantage of the captured Soviet troops to surrender.
The situation in Vladivostok is similar.
Zhukov hid in the underground bunker, and he could clearly hear the fierce gunfire and explosions coming from the ground.
"Your Excellency, Commander, Shuangchengzi has called again to tell you that if there are no more reinforcements. They will not be able to hold out until tomorrow.
Because the Chinese army is so firepowered, they are equipped with a large number of rocket launchers, and a staggering number of automatic weapons.
Our resistance forces suffered heavy losses in street fighting, with extremely heavy casualties. Zhukov's staff adjutant reported to him with a telegram.
After speaking, he found that Zhukov's brows were furrowed even deeper, so he persuaded: "General, the opportunity must not be lost, we might as well break through at night." ”
"Now the situation in Vladivostok has deteriorated to the point where there is no additional value, and there must be no further delay.
Otherwise, as soon as the sky dawns, the Chinese air force will be able to attack again, and it will be too late to evacuate at that time. ”
How could Zhukov not know what the adjutant said, but if he gave up Vladivostok, then he would become a sinner of the Soviet Union.
Moreover, Zhukov feared that the leaders of Moscow, who were scorched by the German offensive, would not blame him.
Use him as a scapegoat to give an account to the people in the country, and make an example of the monkeys.
Just when Zhukov hesitated, another Soviet adjutant hurriedly walked in, stood up to him and saluted: "General, Moscow is in an emergency." ”
Zhukov didn't want to wave his hand and ordered: "Read! ”
"The Supreme Command ordered us to immediately abandon Vladivostok and withdraw our troops as much as possible to the north bank of the Ussuri River to continue resistance." The adjutant read quickly.
Zhukov's eyes lit up when he heard this, and the adjutant from before said: "General, don't miss the opportunity, let's quickly order the troops to evacuate." :”
"Well, the order will go down, and the troops will retreat in turn, covering alternately, behind the Red 39th Division." Zhukov immediately nodded in agreement.
…………
Jiamusi, General Headquarters of the Northeast Frontier Army.
"Boss, Lao Maozi has withdrawn." A staff officer hurriedly ran to Du Ting's side and reported.
"Withdrawn?" Du Ting was taken aback, and immediately ordered: "Immediately order all troops to chase me immediately, and we must not let Lao Maozi evacuate easily."
At the same time, send a telegram to Ge Quanwu, asking him to end the battle within five hours, and then give me to defend Shuangchengzi to the death, and never let any Soviet troops pass. ”
After speaking. Du Ting said excitedly: "Lao Maozi is killing himself, if they continue to hold on, more than 100,000 people and horses will be huddled together, and our army will not be able to eliminate them in a short time and take Vladivostok."
Now they have taken the initiative to evacuate and go to the field, hum, just enough to bring the power of our army's mechanized troops to the extreme!
The staff officer answered, turned and left.
…………
In the eastern part of the west city of Shuangchengzi, a group of national troops is advancing along the streets.
In front of them. Everywhere there were barricades built by the Soviet army, and the buildings on the left and right were also bullet wounded and fragmented.
"Bang bang." The sparse sound of gunfire came from the front.
Behind several barricades, it can be clearly seen that from time to time Soviet soldiers stubbornly fire at them.
However, the bullets were blocked by a tank No. 4 in front of them, and the heavy armor of tank No. 4 did not even leave a trace except for a few small sparks.
A national marksman, following behind the tank, raised his rifle in his hand. The aim locked on a Soviet soldier and suddenly pulled the trigger.
"Smack!" A gunshot rang out, and the Soviet soldier, who was only exposed to the head, was shot on the spot, and the bullet penetrated his steel helmet. It entered his brain and immediately stirred up his brain tissue.
He fell on his stomach completely, and never raised his head to shoot.
The tank guns of Tank No. 4 also did not fire, pouring shells on the heads of the Soviets.
That's when it happened. On the roof of a building on the right side of the street, several Soviet soldiers suddenly appeared, wielding a light machine gun. Condescendingly towards the advancing national army is a slash sweep.
Several soldiers of the Northeast Frontier Army were caught off guard and fell to the ground.
However, Lao Maozi's light machine gun was not able to be arrogant for long, and a hot and powerful rocket slammed into the roof of the building where they were hiding.
"Boom!" A violent explosion blasted large slabs into shards and flew down.
On the spot, two Soviet machine gunners screamed and fell from the roof.
The other two fell inside because the roof collapsed and also fell to their deaths.
After this attack, the officers and men were much more cautious, and in addition to following up behind the tanks, some submachine gunners looked up vigilantly from time to time to observe some seemingly empty buildings on both sides of the guarded street.
In Ge Quanwu's headquarters.
After receiving Du Ting's strict order, Ge Quanwu immediately personally issued a death order from the regimental commanders of the three divisions, asking them to take Shuangchengzi at all costs within four hours.
Cut off the way for the Soviet troops to flee.
At the same time, Du Ting and his staff adjutant also made the next battle plan around the map.
A staff adjutant pointed to the map and said: "General, the main force of the Soviet army in Vladivostok is going to flee, and it is impossible not to inform the defenders of the twin cities and ask them to hold on."
In this way, the difficulty of our army's attack will also be greatly increased. ”
Du Ting nodded, but another staff adjutant said: "What worries us the most is not this, but whether Boli's Soviet army will also receive an order to reinforce the Shuangchengzi area, so that the main force of the Soviet army in Vladivostok can smoothly pass through our army's interception."
Smooth withdrawal. ”
The adjutant's words attracted Du Ting's attention, and he stared at the map with a solemn face and said, "This is really very possible." ”
After pondering for a while, he immediately said: "Send a telegram to Ge Quanwu immediately, and ask him to transfer one or two battalions no matter what, bypassing Shuangchengzi and Xicheng, to build fortifications along the railway leading to Boli, so as to block the possible Soviet reinforcements from Boli City."
The task of this blocking force is not to annihilate the enemy, but to block the Soviet reinforcements coming from this direction for me no matter what, no matter what the cost.
Before dawn, they must not be allowed to pass, let alone join the Soviet defenders of the Twin Cities! ”
"General seat, Ge Quanwu only has three divisions in his hands, and the strength is already insufficient, and he has to take Shuangchengzi within five hours, and he has to block the enemy's reinforcements, can he do it?" The adjutant staff officer said with some concern.
"I believe in Division Commander Ge, he will definitely be able to do it, I think that at the beginning, in the Battle of Xinmin, his regiment stubbornly blocked the counterattack of tens of thousands of Japanese troops.
It has won time for our army to completely annihilate more than 100,000 Japanese troops, and now our army's combat strength is not what it used to be, and it is not a problem to transfer one or two battalions.
If the troops are not enough, let him Ge Quanwu send me his own guard battalion and cooking class.
This battle is related to whether or not the main force of the 100,000 or 200,000 Soviet troops in the Vladivostok region can be completely annihilated.
He's going to have to figure it out anyway, and I'm going to get it done. Du Ting said.
…………
Boli City is located on the east bank of the confluence of the Ussuri River and the Heilongjiang River.
It has been the territory of China since ancient times. An important border military town.
The Tang Dynasty set up Boli Prefecture here, Liao was one of the five national departments of the Ali Division, Jin was the jurisdiction of Huli Gai Road, Yuan was the jurisdiction of Shuida Road, and Ming was the Xishen Health Administration of Nuer Gandu.
At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, it was under the jurisdiction of Ningguta Angbang Zhangjing (general administrator), and later assigned to the jurisdiction of the deputy capital of the three surnames.
In 1858 (the eighth year of Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty), the Russian invading army invaded Boli, established a military outpost, and named the leader of the Tsarist Russian invasion of Heilongjiang in the 17th century, Khabarov (1649 explorer Yerofei. Khabarov visited here [1]) after the name "Khabarovka". 1860 (the tenth year of Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty). Tsarist Russia forced the Qing government to sign the unequal Sino-Russian Treaty of Beijing, and the city of Boli and its vast area east of the Ussuri River to the sea were seized by Tsarist Russia. In 1893 it was renamed "Khabarovsk".
Boli is now an important transportation hub in the Far East and a river port city. The Trans-Siberian Railway runs through the city. Khabarovsk is known as a large industrial center. It is also an important center of Lao Maozi's science and culture in Boli over the years.
In later generations, Boli was the central city of the entire Russian Far East, the seat of the highest administrative body and the capital of the Russian Far East, and the political, economic, cultural center and transportation hub of the Russian Far East.
Such an important territory was ceded to the Russians by the cowardly and incompetent Manchu government.
Now, the Chinese Northeast Border Army launched the Battle of Vladivostok. Boli has become a refuge camp for Russians in Twin Cities and other places.
Countless Russians fled here with their families in tow.
The city was littered with Russian refugees fleeing for their lives.
However, at this time, a Soviet army took advantage of the night and hurried out of the city. Follow the railway line and go straight to the direction of Shuangchengzi.
As such an important region, the Soviet army attached second only importance to it after Vladivostok.
Zhukov left 50,000 troops here to garrison just in case.
Before I got rid of it, because of the urgency of the battle in Shuangchengzi, a division was transferred. This time, in order to reinforce the Shuangchengzi District, Zhukov ordered the commander of Boli's city defense to transfer four elite infantry regiments.
Let's go. Rush to the aid of Shuangchengzi to ensure the smooth retreat of Soviet troops in the Vladivostok area.
In the dark night, the temperature in Vladivostok is still very cold in April.
Ge Quanwu was wrapped in a military coat, looking at his subordinates who were digging fortifications, and couldn't help but sigh, I didn't expect that Lao Tzu would be the commander-in-chief of the group army, and there would be a day when he would personally lead the troops into battle because of the lack of troops.
It turned out that when he received Du Ting's urgent military order, Ge Quanwu had just put all his reserve troops into it, and was engaged in the most critical and fierce battles with the Soviet army in the east and west cities.
I really can't pull out the troops.
However, in order to block the troops that might come from the Boli district.
Ge Quanwu, a soldier-turned-commander, waved his hand and moved his command company, guard battalion, communications battalion, and cooking squad to a railway bridge ten kilometers north of Shuangchengzi.
At the southern end of the railway bridge, excavations were carried out on site along both sides of the railway to build fortifications.
In order to command the troops, the radio stations were carried by the communicators and set up in the woods on the side of the railway.
In order to make up for the lack of troops, the cooking squad, redundant communication troops, and guards all threw themselves into the work of digging positions.
The commander of the guard battalion and the personal attendant adjutant, who was following Ge Quanwu and protecting him, were a little worried: "Commander, why don't you take the messenger to two kilometers away, and you can just be commanded here." ”
Ge Quanwu immediately refused: "What do you know, this time Lao Maozi's more than 100,000 main forces are behind us, in order to meet their retreat, the number of Russian troops in the direction of Boli will definitely not be small."
Without me here, you and your men would have struggled to resist them. ”
The attendant adjutant said with a look of embarrassment: "But, Commander-in-Chief, you are the commander-in-chief of the three armies, if something goes wrong with you, who will command the troops?" ”
Ge Quanwu smoked a cigarette and said: "It is precisely because of this that the thousands of people we have on hand will try their best to fight to the death and swear not to retreat." ”
"If you can't win this battle, you will have to kill me if you go back to the teacher, so we don't have my choice in this battle!" Ge Quanwu's face became grim and said.
"Okay, take a shovel and help repair the fortifications, don't follow me here, Lao Maozi hasn't come yet, I don't need your protection." Ge Quanwu instructed.
"Yes." The guard battalion commander had no choice but to stand up and salute, answer, and turn to leave.
With the rapid repair of more than 1,000 officers and soldiers, a simple fortification was repaired before the arrival of Soviet reinforcements.
Ge Quanwu smoked a cigarette and leaned against a trench, not knowing what he was thinking.
Suddenly, on the other side of the bridge, gunshots rang out.
The adjutant battalion commander hurriedly said to Ge Quanwu: "The main seat, it is the gun placed at the guard post, it must be the top soldiers of the Soviet army." ”
Ge Quanwu threw away half of the cigarette in his hand, and immediately stood up with his throat in his throat: "Brothers, prepare to fight, put Lao Maozi closer to me in a while, beat them hard, beat them first, and delay time as much as possible!" ”
The officers and men were vigilant and ready for battle.
After a short time, several soldiers in charge of guarding quickly ran back with guns in hand.
One of them found Ge Quanwu and reported: "The main seat, Lao Maozi is here, there are thousands of people, and there are two ironclad trains!" ”
"What? And the ironclad train? Hasn't the railway been blown up by our Air Force fighters during the day? How did they get here? Ge Quanwu was taken aback and said, this ironclad train is a big killer on the railway, and the caliber of the artillery equipped is enough to kill a No. 4 tank with one shot.
"I don't know, maybe they brought sappers to repair it." Alert soldier said.
