Chapter 566: The Violent Collision Between the Tanks of the Eastern Crusade (1)

Although infantry reinforcements could not be counted on, and although Yamada Otozo, after judging that the main direction of attack of the Inner Mongolia Military Region was on the Shuangliao line, urgently ordered the five infantry divisions stationed on the Songyuan and Qian'an lines to immediately take the train south, but he could not quench his thirst from far away, and the crisis on the Shuangliao front line was still not alleviated in the slightest. To make matters worse, not long after the Songyuan garrison boarded the train, the Kwantung Army Headquarters received terrible news that an elite detachment had attacked the defender post of the Liliangtun Bridge, 30 kilometers south of Songyuan, and the Imperial Allied Army of an infantry squad and a reinforced company were all wiped out, and the Liliangtun Bridge was blown up. What is even more painful is that when the bridge was blown up, a military column transporting ammunition was crossing the bridge, and the huge explosion of ammunition detonation blew up the bridge body and piers of the Liliangtun Bridge, and it took three months to repair the bridge at the shortest, and although the climate in the North Manchurian region has turned slightly, it is still extremely cold, and it is not suitable for bridge construction at all, even if it is repaired in three months, it is already the best result.

Originally, it only took 3 days to transfer from Songyuan to Changchun and then transfer to Shuangliao, but now it will be troublesome if it becomes a foot march, and it will not be possible to reach it in ten days or eight days, and now the fighting in the Shuangliao area is so fierce that every day is extremely precious. Wang Weizhou's second division alone has already made the Jingguan Longchang Division complain again and again, not to mention that there are two roads for the same elite, and Shuangliao City is really in danger.

Originally, General Yamada Otosan didn't care about the first line of the squadron in Shuangliao, after all, although Shuangliao is an important transportation base connecting Mengman, but compared with several big cities in South Manchu and North Manchuria, Shuangliao is a small city that can no longer be small, and its strategic location is not particularly important in comparison, so Yamada Otozo does not think that the main direction of attack of the squadron will be here. Therefore, when it was learned that the squadron was attacking in a big way, General Yamada Otoyama only sent the 14th Division of Iseki Takamasa to support the defenders in the Shuangliao area. Now turn around and look, Yamada Otozo suddenly broke out of a white sweat, the small city of Shuangliao City is too close to Siping, after occupying Shuangliao City, the team can not only threaten the Manchurian town of Siping, and then can go north to attack Changchun, at the same time, it can also go south to attack Shenyang, or directly cut off the railway communication between South Manchuria and North Manchuria, which directly leads to the South Manchurian troops running out of ammunition and food.

After deducing on the map for a while, both General Yamada Otozo and Lieutenant General Kasahara Yukio were shocked, both of them knew that the Inner Mongolia Military Region was strong and Han Yunhua had a unique strategic vision, but he did not expect that the officer of the Zhina, whom he had never met, would put the Kwantung Army together as soon as he made a move.

Although there is no infantry, but the aviation is very large, although the night is not very suitable for carrying out tasks, there are two reasons, on the one hand, because the visual range of the night line of sight is too small, whether it is a fighter or a bomber, basically can not see the target, and it is easy to get lost at night, once the fighter plane is lost, the consequences will be catastrophic. In addition, it is very dangerous for fighters to take off and land at night, so unless it is a particularly major military situation, the Japanese army base camp prohibits the Japanese air force from carrying out missions at night, and it has not carried out several missions at night since the establishment of the Japanese Air Force.

However, today's situation is that the chariot unit of the special team has already launched an attack on the 14th Infantry Brigade, and the 14th Infantry Brigade does not have suitable anti-tank weapons, and the only 30 or so chariots can only withstand for a while, and after a long time, they will definitely be wiped out by tanks several times their size, and as for the more than 50 chariots in the 14th Division, the division headquarters is even more taboo, and it is just a tactic of adding fuel and cannot play much role, so the rout of the 14th Infantry Brigade can be expected.

What's even more serious is that the 14th Infantry Brigade is located in the Aldu area, once the position is abandoned, everyone will become a live target of the squadron, so no matter how difficult it is, no matter how dangerous it is, the aviation unit must go to reinforce. Even with many unfavorable factors in front of it, the Japanese Air Force must rush upward.

Yamada Otozo was really furious this time, reinforcing Aldu's aviation force with a full 4 flying wings and a total of 186 fighters. Among them, there are 2 fighter wings, 2 bomber wings, and one of them is the latest zero fighter wing of the Japanese army. The commander of the aviation unit, Lieutenant General Araki, received an order to annihilate the tank unit in China at all costs, and any pilot must fill out a suicide note before boarding the plane to show his determination to die.

Lieutenant General Araki sensed the decision of His Excellency the Commander, and he gave the same stern order to Morikawa Daisa, who was leading the flight this time, that even if the air force was completely destroyed, the 14th Infantry Brigade must be saved, and as many of the Shina tank units as possible must be destroyed. After all, Lieutenant General Araki was born in the Air Force, and he knew very well that the operation of the air force was affected by many factors, and it was okay to say during the day, but it was likely that he would not even have a chance to attack at night, so he did not give an order full of death like General Yamada Otozo.

Looking back at the Aldu front, as an important means for Han Yunhua to divert the tiger from the mountain, the Northeast Army Division was under great pressure from top to bottom, especially Shen Yuquan, commander of the Northeast Army Division. Han Yunhua's placing a cadre with a political background in the position of commander was itself very criticized, so Shen Yuquan has always been conscientious since he took charge of the Northeast Military Division, and did his best to complete the tasks assigned by the military region, and at the same time complete the secret tasks assigned by Commander Han.

Commander Shen is under pressure, so the troops below don't want to live a good life, Commander Shen gave the three front-line commanders a hard target is that 200,000 troops should attract at least 300,000 Japanese puppet troops, of which the number of Japanese troops should be at least 100,000. The arrival of the armored force made Wang Weizhou greatly relieved, although his second division is indeed a rare elite in the Inner Mongolia Military Region, but the Japanese army on the opposite side is not a fuel-efficient lamp, that is the most elite 14th division of the Japanese army, from the beginning of September 1937 from the Japanese arrived in Tanggu to invade the 1st Army of the Japanese army in China, the 14th division fought in the northern section of the Pinghan Road, captured Shijiazhuang in October 37, fought in Handan and Anyang in southern Hebei in November, and served as the siege of Lanfeng in eastern Henan in May 1938 in the Battle of Xuzhou, dealt a heavy blow to the Kuomintang famous general Xue Yue's department, and for a time the scenery was the same. Against such a Japanese field division, Wang Weizhou didn't know whether to say that he was lucky or lucky.

Although the casualties in the two-day battle were not small, they caused huge losses to Wang Weizhou's troops, and a full 2,000 soldiers were thrown here, although there were many wounded, the number of soldiers killed in the battle had exceeded 1,000 last night, and this was a big battle and a bitter battle that the Second Division had not experienced since its establishment.

Seeing Wan Guoquan, Wang Weizhou didn't say a word, pointed to the Japanese army on the opposite side who was repairing the position and said: "Lao Wan, the devil on the opposite side is our old enemy of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, the 14th Division of the Japanese Army is a hard bone, brother, I need your help, use your tank force to break *** leg." ”

Wan Guoquan was also surprised, after receiving Han Yunhua's order, he rushed to the Aldu front line non-stop, not knowing that it was the 14th Division of the Japanese Army that was fighting with the Northeast Army Division. Of course, Wan Guoquan, the name of the 14th Division, had heard of it, and hurriedly said: "The 14th Division, the troops of Tufeiyuan, that is the elite infantry division of the Japanese army, and it is also one of the more than a dozen permanent infantry divisions in Japan, a standard first-class division. ”

"Wang Ba box, who uses that thing in the Japanese now, the officers of the little Japanese now use southern-style pistols, I'm afraid I can't find many Wang Ba boxes, are your armored troops afraid of that thing." Wang Weizhou asked suspiciously.
