Shenyang City, Sujiatun Railway Station.

On December 24, after more than two days of rapid marching, the 5th Division of the Forward Army was the first to arrive at the station.

Groups of heavily armed troops rushed out of the train skins and immediately crossed the Hunhe Bridge under the leadership of the commander of the unit.

entered Shenyang City, which they had not been able to enter at the cost of tens of thousands of lives some time ago.

However, today's Shenyang City has greatly disappointed the officers and soldiers who have been to Shenyang.

Northeast Asia's most prosperous metropolis is now in a state of depression and dilapidation.

The city was deserted, and the streets that used to be bustling and noisy were so desolate that not even a mouse could be found.

Captain Motoshima was a squadron leader of the 11th Infantry Wing of the 5th Division.

Now I am very depressed, sitting on the steps in front of a closed restaurant, smoking a cigarette very depressed.

A company commander of Yu Zhishan's headquarters was waiting respectfully.

"Lin Sang, Shenyang Di, the flower girl is not dropping, the money is not dropping, I am very angry, you have to find a way to find the flower girl!" Motoshima smoked a cigarette and said dissatisfaction with the puppet army company commander surnamed Lin.

The commander of the puppet army company rolled his eyes and hurriedly said: "Taijun of this island, the villain knows where there is a flower girl, please come with me." ”

"Really?"

"Absolutely."

"Yo Xi, open the way!" Captain Motoshima stood up and waved his hand.

In the afternoon of the same day, the 1st, 9th, and 14th divisions also arrived one after another.

After a short rest, the 1st and 5th Divisions took the lead in leaving Shenyang and going to Xinmin.

Immediately afterwards, the 14th Division also continued northward along the Nanban Railway, and the 9th Division also set out from Shenyang in the early morning of the following day (December 25) and marched westward.

…………………… In the two or three days when the army marched, Zhang Xinghan was not idle, and after some careful consideration, he finally decided on the next way of fighting.

That is, to imitate the blitzkrieg of the German army in World War II, and to take the opportunity to launch an active attack on the Japanese army.

First of all, Zhang Xinghan's reading division is fully capable of carrying out blitzkrieg.

A ground assault force consisting of tank No. 3 and German-style tracked armored vehicles, coupled with the full assistance of Stuka dive bombers in the air.

Such an assault force is unstoppable by himself at this stage.

The threat posed to the ground forces by the Stuka dive bombers in the low-altitude bombing air raids is enormous, let alone the marching field troops.

Even the French, with their strong permanent fortifications, failed to stop the German advance after the loss of the Maginot Line.

He could form a frontal assault force with 40 tanks and armored vehicles, and more than 2,000 main infantry of the 701st Regiment followed up in coordination, and the cavalry regiment flanked and attacked with Stuka dive bomber groups to clear all obstacles and launch a surprise attack on the Japanese army.

Although the armor composed of 40 tanks and armored vehicles is relatively small, it is more than enough to launch a single assault on a certain division or even a wing of the army at the tactical level.

After deciding on the next mode of operation, Zhang Xinghan immediately instructed Shen Xingye to lead the reconnaissance company to scatter out on military motorcycles and war horses to reconnoiter the latest movements of the army.

In order to ensure the accuracy of the information, Zhang Xinghan added double insurance and secretly ordered Gao Zhihang to send reconnaissance planes and Zero fighters to conduct aerial reconnaissance.

Therefore, almost every move of the Yue army was in the hands of Zhang Xinghan.

When it was learned that the 5th Division and the 1st Division of the Yue Army had marched to Tongliao in Xinmin, the 9th Division then set off from Shenyang.

Zhang Xinghan immediately led the assault troops to leave the Naiman Banner and marched all the way east, waiting for an opportunity to move.

In order to attract the attention of the Yue army, Zhang Xinghan specially ordered the air force to frequently attack and harass the Yue army, and at the same time, the reconnaissance company led by Shen Xingye also launched a fierce strangulation with the scouts of the Yue army scattered all over the southwest of Liaoning.

Two days later, on December 27, a great opportunity finally appeared.

Through reconnaissance by scouts and aerial reconnaissance planes, it was learned that the distance between the 1st and 5th Divisions of the Chinese Army and the 9th Division, which was the second follow-up group, had increased to 50 kilometers.

The reason is that the 9th Division is responsible for the baggage escort of the three divisions, while the 1st and 5th Divisions, as the main attacking forces, have advanced lightly all the way, and at this time they have already driven into the rear banner of the left flank of Horqin.

The 9th Division had just arrived in Zhangwu, and was preparing to continue to move Zhangwu's supplies forward, using the rear banner of the left flank of Horqin as a supply place to facilitate the attacking troops to directly attack Tongliao.

Zhang Xinghan decided to seize this opportunity and immediately launched a surprise attack on the 9th Division.

The reason why the 9th Division was chosen was not only because it was carrying a large amount of baggage, but also because there were not many troops in the rear of the 9th Division.

The 14th Division went to Siping, and the troops left in Shenyang and Xinmin were less than a wing, and this point of strength was insufficient for self-protection, where was there still the ability to send reinforcements?

Even if the army sent troops to reinforce the 9th Division that had been attacked, the distance from Shenyang to Zhangwu was more than 100 kilometers, and the battle was already over before they arrived.

Zhang Xinghan's assault force had already fled hundreds of miles.

The key to whether the 9th Division could inflict heavy damage on it was whether Zhang Xinghan's assault troops could defeat the 9th Division before the 5th and 1st Divisions could return to help.

Without the Air Force, Zhang Xinghan's plan would undoubtedly be very risky.

But now it is different, with the strong air force as the backing, Zhang Xinghan's assault force can not only be supported by the air force's Stuka dive bombers' almost terrifying precision low-altitude bombing.

It can also rely on the air force's bombing and strafing to delay the 1st and 5th Divisions to buy time for the assault force to crush the entire 9th Division.

This is the charm of modern warfare, and the number of people is no longer the basis for determining the victory of a battle.

The most important thing is the use of tactics and the grasp of the timing of cooperation between various advanced arms.

In a primeval forest about twenty miles southwest of Zhangwu.

At this time, it was dark, Zhang Xinghan and more than 6,000 subordinates were waiting for dawn, and with the air force, the best time to fight was during the day.

However, things didn't go according to people's wishes, and Zhang Xinghan just leaned back in his seat and wanted to take a nap.

A rush of footsteps woke him up, and when he looked at it, Shen Xing, the commander of the reconnaissance company, hurriedly walked in the dark.

"Yizhi, what's wrong, is there a situation?" Zhang Xinghan asked with an ominous premonition in his heart.

Shen Xingye nodded and said, "Division, it's not good, the 9th Division of the Yue Army in Zhangwu City has been pulled out overnight. ”

"Huh? Pulled out overnight? Zhang Xinghan's eyes lit up.

"Yes, a large number of military supplies are enough to load hundreds of military trucks and ox carts, and now it is estimated that they should go out of the city and go west for more than ten miles." Shen Xingye nodded.

"It seems that I have learned wisely, and I even know how to use the night march to avoid bombing by our air force." Zhang Xinghan said with interest.

"Yes, I must have been scared by our Air Force, and I suffered many losses, and now I finally have a little more to remember." Shen Xingye asked, "How about it, Shizuo, should we wait for dawn before attacking, or do we attack now?" ”

"It will definitely not work after dawn, even if the army cannot reach the rear banner of the left flank of Horqin in one night, it will be able to advance at least 30 kilometers, and by that time, we will have lost our fighters." Zhang Xinghan frowned and pondered for a while, then gritted his teeth and decided: "Pass my order, and the troops will immediately start and attack overnight." ”

"Attacking overnight? Division, so that we will not be supported by the Air Force, is it a bit risky? Shen Xingye was a little worried.

"In the dark night, even though we lost the superiority of the air force, but also got the cover of the night, we took the armored troops as the lead and launched a surprise attack directly on the middle of the 9th Division of the Japanese Army, so that it could not take care of the first place, kill and wound the enemy as much as possible, and after destroying their military supplies, we did not have to fight, and immediately retreated from the battle with the armored troops and cavalry." Zhang Xinghan analyzed: "In the dark night, the army does not know our reality, and will definitely not dare to pursue, and after the battle, we are taking the opportunity to attack Zhangwu and force the army to return to help. ”

After receiving Zhang Xinghan's order, more than 6,000 officers and men of the armored and cavalry units, as well as the 701st Regiment and the guard battalion directly under the division headquarters, mobilized one after another.

With the armored forces as the front, the cavalry regiment protected the flanks, and the infantry followed by military vehicles, and the 6,000-strong army approached the 9th Division on the march under the cover of night.

On the highway from Zhangwu to Tongliao, the marching contingent of more than 20,000 people of the 9th Division stretched for several kilometers, and in the dark night, the torches meandered like a long fire dragon, constantly moving forward.

In order to ensure the safety of a large number of baggage supplies, Kenkichi Ueda, the current commander of the 9th Division, not only chose to march overnight at night, but also arranged all the baggage vehicles and personnel in the middle of the marching column.

The two main brigades of the division and regiment escorted the front and rear slowly, and in addition to the baggage troops, Ueda Kenkichi's division headquarters was also in the middle.

At this time, the degree of mechanization of the 17 permanent divisions was far from comparable to that of six years later, and even an old division like the 9th Division was only equipped with a reconnaissance tank squadron, which was subordinate to the cavalry wing directly under the division.

There were not many vehicles such as automobiles, and most of the vehicles of the baggage troops were still horse-drawn carts and ox carts.

It can be said that it is a half-mechanical and half-horse-made division.

However, as the commander of the division, Kenkichi Ueda still owned an armored car as a means of transportation.

Kenkichi Ueda was riding in an armored vehicle when a shrill warning gun rang out outside.

This was followed by a deafening explosion, followed by a dense burst of gunfire and shouts of killing.

Ueda Kenkichi hurriedly opened the car door and got out of the car, only to see that a cloud of red light had risen in the southwest, and the loud explosions and dense gunfire were coming from that direction, and they were getting closer and closer.
