Chapter 271: The End of the Japanese Combined Fleet (Part I)
Ulan-Ude, directly pushed by hundreds of tanks and three mechanized divisions of the Chinese army, the Japanese desperately resisted, to no avail. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
After the capture of Ulan-Ude, the Chinese army marched along Lake Belga to the heart of Siberia and from the Trans-Khingan Mountains to Yakutsk.
If it is a field battle, the Chinese army will concentrate on rocket artillery and various types of artillery to bombard in a carpet manner, and then dispatch armed aircraft and elevator groups to eliminate some solid fire points. Subsequently, the armored division led the ground troops to advance, and this set of tactics can be described as tried-and-true.
When encountering strong bunker fortifications like the Yablonov Mountain, the Chinese Air Force continued to attack with a combination of incendiary bombs and cloud burst bombs, and then sent ground troops to clear them one by one. This style of play is also invincible.
Moreover, because the Chinese army gained air supremacy and then used Sakhalin Island to defend it, the Kwantung Army in Siberia was almost cut off from Japan's regional ties, so it became very difficult for Japan to support and supply the Japanese army in Siberia.
The Chinese army, on the other hand, has a steady stream of supplies and supplies that follow the army, and as time goes on, the Japanese army will become more and more difficult, while the Chinese army is the opposite.
More importantly, as the aggressor, the Japanese army not only had to face the attack of the Chinese army, but the Soviet guerrillas never gave up resistance. Another important reason why the Soviet guerrillas have not been eliminated is that the brutal rule of the Japanese army and the numerous crimes committed have intensified the resistance of the local people, so the guerrillas are fighting more and more.
It was in this situation that the Japanese army's backyard was not stable, and it was attacked by the Chinese army.
The Chinese army regained one city after another as liberators, and the Soviets in the Far East welcomed it, and it is also true that the Chinese army is a hundred times better than the Japanese army, how can it not be supported. For a time, the Japanese army became a rat crossing the street, and everyone shouted and beat them.
The commander of the Kwantung Army, Kenkichi Ueda, was in a sad mood and seemed to have a premonition of the future of the Kwantung Army, but he did not give up resistance, in order to defend longer, he concentrated his forces as much as possible, and gave up some areas that were not suitable for defending, so as not to be eaten by the Chinese army.
Even with this arrangement, Ueda Kenkichi also knew that the general trend of the Kwantung Army had gone, and it was impossible to stop the footsteps of the Chinese army, and the current desperate efforts were only a matter of survival.
The situation of Army Group North is very good, and Army Group Center, which is attacking Chaoxian, is also making good progress, which is equivalent to the Japanese army's strength of nearly 800,000 troops in Siberia, while the strength of the Japanese army in Chaoxian is only about 600,000. However, compared with the vast territory of Siberia, the density of more than 600,000 troops is very high.
It is no wonder that the strategic position of Chaoxian is too important for Japan, and since it can become a bridgehead for Japan's invasion of China, it can also become a bridgehead for China to attack Japan.
Compared with Japan, Chaoxian has a much stronger sense of belonging to China, after all, Chaoxian has been a vassal state of China for a long time in history, and the Japanese army has implemented cruel rule in Chaoxian, and after the Japanese army was forced out of China, the rule of Chaoxian was even more cruel.
Historically, China has helped Chaoxian County resist Japanese invasions, and the two countries have worked together to wreak havoc on devils. This time, the Chinese army came to help Chaoxian again as liberators, and naturally there was a cheer, and the long-suppressed emotions were suddenly exposed, and overnight, the Japanese army rebelled and left.
The puppet government, which was supported and controlled by the Japanese army, apparently had little confidence in the Japanese army, and secretly contacted the Chinese army and passed on all the information of the Japanese army to the Chinese side in order to obtain forgiveness.
Wei Qidong has thoroughly studied the stages of several campaigns to resist US aggression and aid Korea, coupled with the information obtained from Chaoxian in various aspects, he can roughly outline the defensive posture of the Japanese army, and also know which areas may be more difficult to fight, and make key marks on some places that are inconspicuous now but may become key contentions in the future, hoping that the Chinese army can pay more attention.
Many people don't know why Wei Qidong is unpredictable, but no one dares to snub his ideas, because many of Wei Qidong's suggestions have been heavily confirmed in the German army, and even the Germans believe him, and as Chinese, there is no reason not to believe it.
The geographical distance between China and Chaoxian is even closer, and compared with the huge Siberia, Chaoxian is much narrower in terms of defensive depth, and the planes dispatched from northeast and north China have seized air supremacy in Chaoxian in just three days, and this is naturally an all-round victory for the Chinese Air Force in terms of the quantity and quality of its aircraft.
In the skies above Chaoxian, the Japanese air force wanted to stage the style of a kamikaze, but the results were very small, because in many cases it was difficult for them to get close at all, not to mention the jet planes of the Chinese Air Force, that is, the J-2 fighters developed by themselves were stronger than the Japanese Zero in all aspects.
After gaining air supremacy, the ground forces will be fully mobilized to implement the tactics of interspersed encirclement and then annihilation, and will first cut the Japanese positions through interspersed methods, and then use superior forces to divide and encircle.
Subsequently, one by one, they were targeted and eliminated. Of course, the Chinese army will not pull out the Japanese strongholds one by one before advancing, which is not quite in line with the essence of blitzkrieg.
The main force of the Chinese army hardly has too many pauses, as long as it breaks through the Japanese position, it will advance all the way, and the tactics of interspersing and encirclement will be handed over to the troops behind to implement, and even encounter some difficult Japanese positions, the main force of the Chinese army will directly bypass it, which is somewhat similar to the island-hopping tactics of the US army in the official history.
Seeing the strong strength and firepower superiority of the Chinese army, the Japanese army knew that in a field battle, they were no match for the Chinese army, and no matter how strong their physical and mental will were, they could not withstand the artillery fire. Therefore, in order to block the advance of the main force of the Chinese army, the Japanese army could only use the most earthy methods to wantonly sabotage the transportation of Chaoxian, blow up bridges, and destroy railways, just to delay time.
It's just that how effective is this kind of procrastination for time? Whether it is the high command of the Japanese army in Chaoxian, even the Japanese base camp knows that they will not be able to hold Chaoxian, and no matter how much strength they invest, they will not be able to hold it in the end.
You must know that in order to speed up overseas aggression in recent years, the Japanese army has invested almost all the elites, and now that China and Japan are at war again, it will be too difficult for those overseas troops to withdraw.
Therefore, the Japanese mainland no longer had much ability to support the Japanese troops in Siberia and Chaoxian, and they had to rely on themselves.
The Chinese army has not only dispatched the army and air force, but the navy has also been dispatched for a long time, looking for the main force of the Japanese combined fleet to prepare for a decisive battle.
It seems that an instinctive phobia of Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi has developed since the Sino-Japanese war, and since the start of the Sino-Japanese war, the Japanese combined fleet seems to have disappeared, not appearing around the Chinese seas, and also not staying in several major Japanese ports.
As a result, the Chinese Navy speculated that the Japanese Combined Fleet was likely to stay on the Japanese-occupied islands in the Pacific.
The reason why Wei Qidong wanted to find a way to lock down the main force of the Japanese Combined Fleet was Wei Qidong's meaning, and he believed that once China and Japan went to war, they would first have to destroy their main naval forces.
Only in this way can the fangs of the little devils be really pulled out, not only will the overseas support and supply of the little devils be greatly affected, but even the various resources and supplies they have plundered from overseas and the supplies they need will be difficult to transport to the Japanese mainland, which will greatly weaken Japan's resistance.
