Chapter 1909 Entering the Nenjiang River

Heilongjiang, Luhe Village, more than ten kilometers southeast of Nianzi Mountain. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Beside a wooded field near the road, eight armoured communications vehicles and three field tents formed a very simple temporary command center.

On all fronts where the mechanized units of the Anjia Army are advancing wildly, such temporary command centers can be seen everywhere, and the general road headquarters, group armies, divisions, and specialized brigades all like to use this kind of simple temporary command headquarters, and it usually does not take long for these command centers to follow the troops to advance forward again, which is easy to disassemble and reduces the procedures for dealing with fellow villagers.

However, it was precisely such a terrifying speed of the march that made the Japanese army feel at a loss, and the devil garrisons in many towns had just received the order to shrink their defenses, and they were already facing the embarrassing situation of approaching the city and being unable to advance or retreat.

July 27, 3 p.m.

General Ye Cheng, commander of the First Route Army, stood in such a temporary headquarters with great ambition, and on the sandy road not far away, tanks, armored vehicles, and trucks full of soldiers, one after another, drove towards the east.

In the sky, every few minutes, a group of bombers mixed with fighter jets could be seen passing at low altitude.

Since the Japanese fighters were destroyed at the airfield from the very beginning, they could not take out a single fighter plane to meet the battle, and at this time, almost all the fighters of the Anjia Air Force were hung with aerial bombs to provide ground support like horizontal bombers, and the dive bombers were even more unscrupulous and roared down from the high altitude again and again.

It has to be said that the B2 bomber, which looks extremely clumsy, really has unparalleled power and deterrence when attacking ground targets, and more than 400 Japanese troops once drove more than 1,100 puppet troops to defend Dahewan Town, which is located in the Great Black Mountain area northeast of Genghis Khan's town, and blocked the offensive of our ground troops.

However, the Air Force only dispatched a squadron of B2 bombers to carry out a round of bombing, and those devil soldiers who were taken away surrendered obediently with the puppet army.

"Commander, the 139th Division of the 43rd Group Army has sent a telegram that they have broken through to the town of Gannan (now Fularji) north of the Nenjiang River! The 138th Division has not yet made a new report, but judging from the feedback from the Air Force, they are about to arrive in the area east of Qiqihar! ”

A young major communications staff officer came to report with a telegram, but Ye Cheng didn't take the telegram at all and glanced at it, so he decisively gave an order:

"Excellent! Tell Colonel An Yufeng, commander of the 139th Division, to stop advancing when he sees the Nenjiang Railway Bridge and defend on the spot! In addition, a report was sent to General Peng Wanjun of the Northern Assault Group, telling him to go east at full speed, rush to the area west of Qiqihar as soon as possible, join up with the 138th Division, and be ready to force the Nenjiang River at any time;

"And General Li Yuewu of the Southern Assault Group, the forward troops of his group army, must arrive at Gannan Town within two hours, we must cross the Nenjiang River before sunset, and block it before the Japanese troops in Qiqihar retreat, this is a rare big fish!"

"Yes!"

After a while, the communications staff officer turned back again.

"Commander, General Lu Sunchen sent a telegram that the 55th Division under his command has crossed the Yalu River and is advancing towards Jingxing Town, once Jingxing Town is occupied, it can quickly move south through the simple road there, occupy Qiaojiang Town on the west bank of the Nen River, and cut off the Taoang Railway to Tao'an, Taonan and other places in Liaoning!"

"Good!"

Ye Cheng said approvingly: "It is worthy of the elite journey under the command of the tiger head, and the advance speed is not slower than our tank force at all...... In this way, the Japanese army in Qiqihar can only ......"

Speaking of this, Ye Cheng suddenly realized something, strode over to the map spread out on a simple table made of several empty ammunition boxes, looked at it carefully, and his face changed:

"No, the southern line is not open, and they can retreat to the north...... The 133rd Division of the 41st Group Army had a problem when attacking the town of Ningnian, where the Japanese army held many civilians hostage as shields, which caused our offensive to be blocked......

Ye Cheng frowned, patrolled between the lines and circles on the map for four or five minutes, and finally made up his mind:

"Send a telegram to General Peng Wanjun, ask his troops to arrive in the area west of Qiqihar, there is no need to stay, hand over the task of crossing the river to the 138th Division, and his group army will continue to move to the northeast, waiting for an opportunity to cross the Nenjiang River, and then bypass Tai'an Town east of Ningnian County, completely closing the road for the Japanese army to retreat eastward!"

"Yes!"

The communications staff officer saluted and left in a hurry.

Listening to the sometimes dense and sometimes sparse rumbling sound of artillery in the distance, Ye Cheng couldn't help but feel a little itchy, he glanced back at the busy staff officers, and shouted: "Andy Lau!" ”

"Here!"

In the blink of an eye, a young major who looked to be in his early twenties trotted all the way in front of Ye Cheng, he was Ye Cheng's adjutant.

Ye Cheng naturally didn't know that his adjutant had the same name and surname as a certain big star, and ordered: "Gather the guards, I want to go to the front line to have a look!" As for the headquarters......" lowered his head and looked on the map, Ye Cheng pointed to a small black dot: "For the time being, move to the eighteen-mile village in the backing mountain area!" ”

......

A quarter of an hour later, Ye Cheng's guards—twelve Leopard II medium tanks, six Tiger I heavy tanks, eight Type I assault guns, sixteen tracked infantry fighting vehicles, twenty-five half-track armored personnel carriers, and an entire motorized infantry company—were ready to set off next to the headquarters.

All tanks and armoured vehicles are painted in camouflage, while armourers and motorcyclers wear field camouflage uniforms, and only tankers wear black uniforms.

Ye Cheng did not choose to ride in his own armored communication vehicle, but jumped on a Tiger I tank with agility, this huge tank, is currently the safest one of the current active weapons of the Anjia Army Army - although the front 100mm lower armor and side armor of the hull are not invulnerable, but the current Japanese army does not have an effective weapon to penetrate such a thick armor at a long distance, and at a closer distance, the combat operations of the Tiger I tank have the advantages of infantry fighting vehicles and armored vehicles to implement close protection, technology and tactics, As a result, such a behemoth is rarely completely destroyed on the battlefield.

Seeing Ye Cheng carrying his own tank, the commander of the Tiger I tank quickly gave up the observation position on the upper part of the turret to his commander along with the headset and throat communicator, and then retracted into the tank to act as a machine gunner or communicator.

After skillfully taking over the commander's position, Ye Cheng glanced at the tanks and armored vehicles behind him, turned his head, raised his right arm, slowly flattened forward, and ordered loudly: "Tank soldiers, forward!" ”

......

"Liberate the Northeast, move forward!"

In a forest meadow where explosions were heard one after another, a group of soldiers and soldiers of Anjia who were hunched down and armed with automatic rifles shouted, and followed closely behind a Type III tracked infantry fighting vehicle.

An Jiajun's infantry fighting vehicle research and development has never been relaxed, three or three years, three or four years of research and development of the "Cheetah I" (not mass-produced), "Cheetah II" six-wheeled combat vehicles, belongs to the first generation of products, three or seven years of research and development of the "Cheetah III" eight-wheeled combat vehicle, is the second generation of products, after the normalization of naming, respectively named after the I and II combat vehicles, they are all wheeled infantry fighting vehicles.

The Type III combat vehicle, which was developed and finalized two years ago, is uniformly track-driven, and mainly uses 20mm anti-aircraft guns as the main combat weapon.

Due to the refinement of the division of labor between tanks and armored fighting vehicles, armored fighting vehicles do not need to bear the heavy responsibility of charging in front of them because their armor is weaker than that of tanks, so after the twin-mounted anti-aircraft guns customized by Erlikon anti-aircraft artillery technology, they are much more effective than the 37 rapid-fire guns of Type I and Type II armored fighting vehicles in terms of rate of fire, range and fire intensity, and can eliminate all targets trying to get close to tanks in the shortest time.

At the same time, thanks to the replacement of a more powerful and smaller diesel engine and strengthened armor defenses, the weight of this armored combat vehicle has increased to thirteen tons, the cross-country speed can reach 25 kilometers per hour, and a 7.92mm machine gun has been added to the front of the hull to enhance the fire output.

"Whoa—"

A shell suddenly fell and exploded less than five or six meters away from the infantry fighting vehicle, and two soldiers were immediately shot and fell, but as far as the eye could see, the corpses scattered on this grass were still mostly Japanese soldiers in khaki uniforms, and in the places near the bushes, around the winding trenches, hundreds of devil corpses still maintained the various postures of death, and on the machine gun positions made of sandbags, those crooked handles, chicken necks, and crutch machine guns all hung helplessly down from their muzzles.

"Boom-"

More than 20 meters ahead, a Leopard II tank suddenly stopped, adjusted its muzzle, and fired a shot at the place where the Japanese shells were flying, and with a loud bang, a Japanese artillery position between two red spruce trees and covered by a large number of branches and leaves was bombarded into the sky, and the severed limbs and arms mixed with the remains of the cannon were fired in all directions.

After completing the shooting, the Leopard II tank continued to advance, and in a farther place, with the sound of "Zilala" branches and trees breaking, one by one big trees were ruthlessly knocked to the ground by the Tiger I tank at the forefront, and on the Japanese position about 2,000 meters in front of the woods, many devil soldiers were leaving the trenches in panic and fleeing to the rear, and some even threw down their weapons.

After another two minutes, the tanks of the An Jiajun were still firing, and a group of warplanes roared over the woods, and then strafed the Japanese positions.

In just a few dozen minutes, a large number of aerial bombs fell on the heads of the devils one after another, and the last trace of Japanese morale finally collapsed and dispersed to the rear.

"Don't stop, move forward!"

On a Tiger I tank, Major General An Ruoyi, commander of the 2nd Tank Division, wearing a black tank uniform, shouted to his soldiers, and a large river was already looming in the northeast of this position.

While circling, the pilots found that the highway bridge had been broken into several pieces by the Japanese army's blasting, and the lone piers of the bridge stood in the turbulent river, making a white splash.

Another wave of aircraft roared by, using aerial bombs and bullets to clear a Japanese artillery position on the other side of the Nenjiang River, so that the Second Tank Division reached the west bank of the Nenjiang River without hindrance.

Just when An Ruoyi was discussing battlefield defense with Colonel Xiao Yiming, commander of the 138th Division, an order from Lieutenant General Peng Wanjun, commander of the group army, to immediately lead his troops north along the Nenjiang River, and cooperate with the engineer brigade of the group army to build a pontoon bridge in the lower reaches of the Alun River, the Yin River, and the Nenjiang River, so as to force the Nenjiang River to cross the Nenjiang River and create conditions for the enemy to encircle Qiqihar.
