Chapter 147: Attack on Hangzhou

Ye Feng attached great importance to this newly established unit, and in the mechanized infantry brigade, Ye Feng stayed for several days.

In the 1930s, many countries began to develop mechanized troops, and in order to match the speed of movement and cross-country ability of combat vehicles, half-tracks with protective armor became the most common type. During the Second World War, the M3 halftrack of the United States and the SdKfz 251 of Germany were the most famous representatives.

The most heavily armed combat vehicle of the mechanized infantry brigade is the M3 half-track, in addition, a small number of M20 wheeled reconnaissance vehicles, M8 "Hound" armored vehicles.

The development of mechanized infantry in various countries has just started for a few years, and it is still in the exploration stage, in order to be at the forefront of the world, Ye Feng has become his own mechanized infantry brigade as soon as he has the conditions.

The supreme commander of the mechanized infantry brigade is Major General Brigade Commander Tang Wankun, a military talent of the "Nuwa" system, who is proficient in the combat and training of armored units.

The mechanized infantry brigade has three mechanized infantry regiments, one air defense regiment, a total of four regiments, and the entire mechanized infantry brigade is in the hands of Tang Wankun day by day, although it is a newly established brigade, but the progress is very fast, Ye Feng stayed in the mechanized infantry brigade for a few days, and he felt very satisfied

After Ye Feng personally inspected the various units one by one, it was already early July, and Guo Weiquan, Chu Tianyuan, and others had already begun to prepare for the plan to attack Hangzhou, and the preliminary reconnaissance work was already being carried out thoroughly, and the operational plan was also beginning to be prepared and formulated.

Ye Feng is going to start working in a little more than a month, about late August, or early September. At this time, the training of the various units is almost the same, and it is completely possible to go to the battlefield and see the real chapter with Little Japan.

A special combat team led by Zhao Long and Long Yi. There was also news coming back from time to time, killing a lot of Japanese soldiers on the battlefield, Ye Feng found that the merit value in his "Nuwa" system had increased by tens of thousands, and it was about to break through the 100,000-point mark.

Time passed gradually, and the hot summer gradually passed, and the time soon reached the end of August. The operational plan formulated by Guo Weiquan, Chu Tianyuan, and others has also come out and is placed on Ye Feng's desk.

This battle plan is very detailed, and Ye Feng is very satisfied after reading it. There are two sets of plans for the operational plan, and a backup plan has been drawn up taking into account some uncertain factors.

Now that the independent division is strong and strong, Ye Feng is fully confident that he will annihilate the Japanese Sixth Division in Hangzhou City. The only thing that made everyone more cautious was the reinforcements of the Japanese army in Shanghai.

Shanghai is not far from Hangzhou. The battle on the Hangzhou side started, and the Japanese army in Shanghai would definitely reinforce the Japanese Sixth Division on the Hangzhou side, and at that time, the independent division would no longer just fight with the Japanese army, but even if he had to face the Japanese reinforcements, Ye Feng was determined to fight a dozen.

After reading the battle plan, Ye Feng personally drafted a telegram. This telegram was to be sent to the Third Theater of Operations, and the content of the telegram was to inform the Third Theater. The independent division will choose a day to attack Hangzhou.

This time to fight Hangzhou, Ye Feng has already figured it out, no matter what attitude he has in the third war zone, he will definitely fight, it is best if he can agree, if he disagrees, he will also command the troops.

*****

3rd Theater Command.

Gu Zhutong, commander of the Third Theater of Operations, slapped the telegram sent by Ye Feng on the table fiercely, and said angrily: "It's really messing with the piano." ”

Seeing this, a lieutenant general of the national army next to him asked in a low voice: "Boss, what is it that makes you so angry." ”

"See for yourselves." Gu Zhutong handed the telegram to several senior officers of the national army next to him, and then said loudly: "The independent division is simply eating leopard gall, and he Ye Feng dares to fight Hangzhou with one division." ”

Hearing this, a group of senior officers of the Third Theater around him were moved, a division would dare to attack Hangzhou, if he had an army, then he would not fight Shanghai, you must know that Hangzhou is a division of the Japanese army, the sixth division of the Japanese army.

Crazy, just crazy!

This is what most of the officers of the Third Theater of Operations think, and even a second-class general of the National Army said: "General Seat, the independent division can't do this, you have to convey an order to stop it." ”

It is absolutely necessary to stop it, if the Independent Division really hits Hangzhou, the Japanese army in Shanghai will be reinforced immediately, and the Independent Division will definitely be surrounded and annihilated by a large number of Japanese troops.

"Pass my order, send a report to the independent division, and clearly tell them that I must stay in Shannan County, and without the order of the third war zone, I can't act on my own, let alone attack Hangzhou."

Soon, Ye Feng received a harshly worded telegram from the Third War Zone, but Ye Feng only glanced at the telegram for a moment, and then threw it into the trash.

"Pass my order, all troops will enter a state of combat readiness, and three days later, we will attack the city of Hangzhou." Ye Feng shouted loudly.

Soon, Ye Feng's orders were conveyed to all troops, and at the same time, detailed operational plans and combat missions were also sent to all units, even if the third theater did not agree, Ye Feng would fight Hangzhou.

As for disobedience, Ye Feng smiled disdainfully.

There is power in the barrel of a gun, as long as I am strong, who can help me. The current Ye Feng has absolute control over the independent division, and no one dares to have different voices, even if everyone knows that the Third War Zone of Ludao opposes the attack on Hangzhou, but as long as Ye Feng's order is issued, all troops will resolutely implement it, who cares about the Third War Zone.

Many of the officers in the various units, brigades, and regiments of the Independent Division were professional military talents that Ye Feng had exchanged from the "Nuwa" system, and everyone was absolutely loyal to Ye Feng

September 1, 1938.

Early this morning, as soon as the sky was bright, the mighty armored cluster of the armored brigade drove out of Pingyuan County, aiming directly at Hangzhou.

In the recapture of Hangzhou this time, the armored brigade was the absolute vanguard force, and the armored brigade had three tank regiments, one machine infantry regiment, and one air defense regiment, and a total of five regiments of troops were all dispatched, leaving only a small number of alert and defense troops in Pingyuan County.

As for the emptiness of troops in Pingyuan County, that is a fact, but I believe that the Japanese army did not dare to come and sneak attack, although the alert troops stationed in Pingyuan County are not many, less than a thousand people, but they are not vegetarians, in addition, as an armored brigade, it is very mobile, once there is a large number of Japanese troops in Pingyuan County, they will be able to return to Pingyuan County immediately.

The units of the armored brigade, after leaving Pingyuan County, were divided into three routes, with regiments as units, and the three tank regiments were like three sharp swords, pointing directly at Hangzhou, while the mechanized infantry regiment and the air defense regiment were slightly behind in position, and they were in the rear to make emergencies.

Sitting in his armored command car, looking at the mighty armored cluster outside, Major General and Brigade Commander Sun Yougen felt Pengbai, after several months of hard training, he was finally able to go to the battlefield again, and the opponent was still the Sixth Division of the Japanese Army's A Division.

"With so many chariots all dispatched, the division seat is really a big deal!" In addition to being excited, Sun Yougen was full of emotion.

Shannan County.

Two hours after the armored brigade set off, at nine o'clock in the morning, the mechanized infantry brigade also set out in its entirety, along the road east of the city, towards Hangzhou.

The mechanized infantry brigade, hundreds of combat vehicles, and a long convoy have no end in sight, and the troops in front of the team have begun to go out of the eastern defense line of the city, and the troops in the back are still in the eastern suburbs of Shannan County.

Early in the morning, a large number of ordinary people gathered in the eastern suburbs of Shannan County, I don't know who was the first to discover the chariot unit of the mechanized infantry brigade, seeing such a huge chariot troop, like a long dragon, very spectacular, the people who saw this scene rushed to tell each other.

The people in the city, no matter what they were doing, ran out one after another when they heard the news, and on both sides of the highway in the eastern suburbs of Shannan County, a large number of ordinary people gathered, three layers inside and three layers outside, and everyone looked at the chariot units of the mechanized infantry brigade with hot eyes.

The mechanized infantry brigade is dominated by M3 half-track combat vehicles, and many ordinary people are very excited when they see the endless combat vehicle team at a glance.

"God willing, we also have such troops in China."

"General Ye is really amazing, the independent division is really good!"

"My God, this team has been marching for more than half an hour, how can it still be, it's so long!"

“”

The people on both sides of the highway are gathering more and more, and some people who have received the news are still coming from the city.

The soldiers who rode on the armored car, seeing so many ordinary people looking at themselves, their figures were straight, and their faces were full of pride, especially some soldiers, and they also saw some familiar figures in the crowd, and the soldiers of the independent division, many of whom were natives of Shannan County.

The people on both sides of the highway also saw their brothers, husbands, sons, and soldiers in the car, many of whom were relatives of these ordinary people.

"Kid, his father, that's our second baby, look, over there, in that car."

An old woman pulled an old man in a sixtieth armor next to her, pointed to an armored car not far away, her eyes were full of tears, and she said happily.

The old man was also full of tears, obviously because of joy, excitement and pride, he looked at his son and muttered: "The second baby is good, worthy of the ancestors, and the second baby is glorious to the ancestors." ”

The common people are proud to have their relatives in the independent division, and many ordinary people are in tears when they see their relatives get on the chariot to kill the enemy and kill the little devils.

I don't know who Lu Dao was, he was the first to applaud, and suddenly, thunderous applause rang out, which lasted for a long time.

"Salute !!"

Many officers, seeing the enthusiastic and excited people, immediately shouted, the soldiers on the chariots, one after another, saluted the people on both sides of the highway, one by one standard military salutes, one by one upright figures, immediately fixed in the eyes of the people.

In the distance, Ye Feng was personally sending his soldiers to the battlefield, and when Ye Feng saw this scene, the corners of his eyes moistened.

The second more.
