Chapter 1458 is full of flames

In modern warfare, as long as the enemy has air supremacy, has absolute superiority in manpower and firepower, and the opponent is also an unrighteous division, under such circumstances, the enemy will be almost like a dream if he wants to redeem his defeat. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the war in eastern Zhejiang, the devil was like this, and he was defeated all the way until he was completely expelled from the Ningshao Plain.

On the night of 1 December, the New Eighth Army and the 28th Army of the Anjia Army joined forces in Linpu County, completely annihilating a brigade of the defenders, and more than 20,000 puppet troops forcibly brought by the devils chose to surrender to the Anjia Army at the beginning of the war, completely failing to give full play to the combat power that the Japanese wanted to reach.

After the An Jiajun regained Linpu County, they continued to move north without stopping, approaching Xiaoshan County on the south bank of the Qiantang River in Hangzhou.

On the morning of 2 December, a mixed brigade of the Japanese army stationed in Qiantang River and Xiaoshan County, with the encouragement of Lieutenant General Nakajima Akigo, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese war in eastern Zhejiang, vainly tried to resist stubbornly with strong fortifications.

Before the ground offensive was officially launched, the overwhelming array of fighters and bombers of the Southwest Air Force quickly arrived, turning the entire fortifications carefully constructed by the Japanese army on the south bank of the Qiantang River to the bottom; at the same time, the Japanese defensive position on the central highland of Xiaoshan County was also ruthlessly attacked by fighters, and the Japanese army was disheartened, and as soon as it engaged the 205th Brigade of the 68th Division, the forward of the New Eighth Army, it was completely suppressed by the firepower of the infantry artillery, mortars, rocket launchers, and automatic rifles of the Anjia Army.

After half a day of fighting, the Japanese army was completely annihilated inside and outside Xiaoshan County, under the condition that our follow-up living forces continued to enter the battle.

The 68th Division was temporarily rested, and the New 13th and 14th Divisions of the 28th Army, together with the 137th Division of the New Eighth Army, attacked in the direction of Shaoxing at full speed.

In half a day, a pontoon bridge that could pass through trucks and armored fighting vehicles lay across the river, and the 24th and 26th armies, which had long been ready to go, rushed straight to the south bank of the Qiantang River if the tiger came out of the cage.

The next day, after the army was over, the engineering troops immediately threw themselves into the work of repairing the bridge on the Qiantang River.

On December 3, after breaking through the defensive line built by the Japanese army in Keqiao County, west of Shaoxing, the Anjia Army broke through the Japanese army in Shaoxing City, completely annihilated the 17th mixed brigade of the defending Japanese army, and captured two wing flags.

At this point, the 15th and 17th mixed brigades, which were regarded as the right-hand men of Nakajima, were completely wiped out in the territory of eastern Zhejiang, and there was not even a splash.

Leading the main force of the 16th Division to sit in Ningbo, Nakajima finally understood the severity of the situation, the ferocity of the An Jiajun far exceeded his cognition, he always thought that the squadron encountered in Yutian County was the elite division of the squadron, and the An Jiajun is estimated to be a lot of bragging, in his impression, poor and backward China, where are so many elites to show their hands?

But the reality gave Nakajima a resounding slap in the face, he clearly knew that whether it was Linpu, Xiaoshan, or Keqiao, Shaoxing, the city defense was arranged by him, confident that after strict deployment, coupled with the Japanese army's consistent "death war" and "jade shattering" spiritual support, no matter how bad it is, it can last for ten days and a half months, then he will wait for the opportunity to move, launch the movement war that the Japanese army is good at, and annihilate one or two arrogant and aggressive main divisions of the Anjia Army, then the Anjia Army's attack on eastern Zhejiang will be perfectly resolved.

Who knew that after the actual engagement, Nakajima was surprised to find that the fortifications that he was proud of had turned out to be a tofu scum project under the powerful firepower of the An Jia Army, and every line of defense was almost collapsed at the touch of a button, and the spiritual power was powerless to fight back under the killing of steel and gunpowder.

Nakajima is sitting on pins and needles, thinking about it, or taking the initiative to put down his face, admit his mistakes, and ask the base camp for help, but at this moment, the Japanese warships are either gathered in North Korea and the surrounding areas of North China, or they are used to attack Hainan Island, Songhu and the surrounding areas of Zhejiang, there is no large number of transport ships to rescue, the Ministry of the Army and the General Staff Headquarters, ask Nakajima to hold Ningbo and wait for help.

At this time, Nakajima received news that Zhang Cunzhuang's 49th Army of Anjia Army broke through the defense line of Siming Mountain and was advancing in the direction of Xikou, and it was expected that it would be killed under Fenghua City tomorrow, completely blocking the retreat of the 16th Division.

At this point, Nakajima did not dare to delay any longer, and when he saw the night falling outside the window, he decided to take advantage of the cover of the night to move to the mountainous area south of Ningbo. On the other hand, the rolling mountains and dense forests can play a role in concealing themselves and preventing air raids by the superior air force of the Anjia Army.

The 16th Division left a "Dare to Die Brigade" to defend Ningbo, and rewarded a group of traitors and traitors with promotions, saying that they would lead the main force of the division and regiment to Xikou to recruit the squadron that dared to invade the border, hoping that all units would assist the imperial army in defending, and after the division returned to the camp, there would be a heavy reward. Due to the news that the Japanese army was tight, the main force evacuated the Ningshao Plain in the middle of the night, and most of the traitors were still indulging in the illusion that the devil was extremely powerful.

Nakajima Isago led his troops all the way west, and after arriving at Fenghua Castle, he suddenly accelerated and fled southward, escaping into the Tiantai Mountain Range. At this moment, the Japanese army in eastern Zhejiang still has a small number of troops in Jianjiao, Ninghai, Tiantai, Haimen and other places to maintain the normal operation of the traitor regime.

Although Nakajima Imago is very arrogant, when he is in a critical situation, his will to survive is extremely strong, and he finally uses a decisive retreat to win a way for himself.

On December 4, Anjia's army attacked Cao'e, Baiguan, Wufu and other towns and Yuyao County. On the same day, Zhang Cunzhuang's 49th Army attacked Fenghua County and pressed towards Ningbo City from the southwest to the east, blocking the southward retreat of the Ningbo defenders.

On 5 December, the Anjia Army, four corps and ten divisions, effortlessly defeated the Japanese forces in Zhangting Town and Cixi County, and pressed to the Ningbo line from the northwest.

Hundreds of Chinese and foreign journalists, as well as more than 100 officials from the propaganda department of the Nanjing Government and the Central Party Department, began to catch up with the main force advancing eastward on 3 December, and followed the army all the way.

In the articles sent back to the newspapers, European and American reporters repeatedly used adjectives such as "unmatched," "the military was at its peak," and "even more terrible than the German army," so that the political leaders and generals of various governments quickly telephoned the major newspapers, and they had to record in detail every move of the An Jiajun army, as well as specific tactics, so that they could study and solve the mystery.

At this moment, the traitors and puppet soldiers in Ningbo City do not know the situation in the outside world, and all the sources have been given to *** by a brigade of devils who are interested in "jade shattering" with Ningbo City.

And all the generals of the An Jiajun didn't know that Nakajima Jinchaowu, who had a foul mouth and a fearless appearance before the two sides engaged, actually laid a soft egg, and he didn't even fight with An Jiajun, so he chose to sneak away.

Therefore, under these circumstances, the An Jiajun launched a full-scale offensive against the city of Ningbo on December 6.

A total of more than 400 heavy howitzers of 150mm and 120mm caliber were aimed at the fortifications in the surrounding areas of Ningbo City, which was a fierce bombardment, and under the close monitoring of fighter and bomber groups, more than 200,000 troops launched a fierce attack on the city from the east, west, south, and north.

In less than half a day, the city of Ningbo was successfully recovered, with a total number of 120,000 puppet troops, 30,000 killed by artillery, and the rest were blown up by the overwhelming shells, and decisively chose to surrender.

Subsequently, the siege force was divided into a part and rushed along the Yongjiang River to Zhenhai County, successfully recovering the last town on the Ningshao Plain.

It wasn't until the time of cleaning up the battlefield that the An Jiajun knew from bottom to top that the 16th Division had escaped from Tiantai Mountain in the south with its tail between its legs.

Subsequently, under the coordination of the general headquarters of the former enemy in Hangzhou, Shi Zhen's 28th Army and Zhang Cunzhuang's 49th Army continued to launch a pursuit to the south, and the New Eighth Army, the 24th Army, and the 26th Army were stationed in Ningbo, Shaoxing, and Xiaoshan respectively to eliminate the remnants of traitors and puppet troops, eliminate the Japanese puppet spies mixed in with the people, and completely calm down the damage caused by the war to the people of eastern Zhejiang.

After six days and nights of fierce fighting, the Anjia army annihilated more than 12,300 Japanese troops, wiped out 200,000 puppet troops, and successfully recovered all the towns and cities in the Ningshao Plain, which was known as the "Ningshao Victory" in history.

At the same time that the Anjia Army launched the decisive battle in eastern Zhejiang, the Japanese army also launched an unprecedented sweeping operation on the Korean front, and from 5 December, the Korean Japanese army gathered 14 divisions and regiments to slowly press towards the base areas of the Anti-Japanese Union from the northwest and northeast.

Although the anti-Japanese forces adopted a flexible and mobile combat method and skillfully maneuvered with the enemy, the disparity between the strength of the enemy and us was too great, and the Japanese army marched steadily and steadily along the two main railway arteries on both sides of the Korean Peninsula, carrying out a carpet sweep on every mountain, every stream, and every karst cave. The anti-coalition armies suffered heavy losses, especially the Korean and Manchurian ethnic base areas created by Kim Sung-ju in the northwest of the Korean Peninsula, which were almost uprooted, and Kim Sung-ju fled back to the Changbai Mountain area in China with a few people, and the remnants merged into the First Army of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, serving as the commander-in-chief of the Second Front Army (equivalent to the strength of a battalion).

In the northeast, the Japanese army regained Jingcheng, Qingjin, Funing, Maoshan, Zhongcheng, Wencheng and other towns all the way, and killed Tumen and Yanji in China.

By the end of December, the Japanese army captured Tumen, Yanji, Dunhua, and Jiaohe, completely opened up the Jingtu line, and connected the Korean Peninsula with Xinjing (Changchun), the capital of the puppet Manchurians, by rail.

On the Shanxi battlefield, all fronts fell into confrontation and calm, but the 18th Group Army, which penetrated deep behind enemy lines, was like a fish in water, and successively won great victories at Laiyuan, Fengjiagou, Guangling, and Weixian, and then made a surprise attack on Yangmingbao Airport, destroying 24 planes and annihilating hundreds of enemy troops, giving full play to the essence of guerrilla warfare and slowly developing and growing.

In the Shandong battlefield, the Japanese army once sent two divisions along the south bank of the Yellow River, all the way to the west, through Changqing and Pingyin, to attack Dong'e County (now Dong'e Town), but in the mountainous and hilly area south of Pingyin County, it encountered a head-on attack by 13 divisions of Tang Enbo's 31st Group Army and Zhang Zizhong's 33rd Group Army.

Under the condition that our army occupies the advantageous terrain, the Japanese army fought hard for several days, and finally did not retreat, the Japanese army base camp deeply reflected, and finally realized that it was unwise to fight with China to consume manpower and material resources, and Ishihara's plan was the most in line with the current reality of Japan, and finally ordered the agents who had been secretly lurking in India, Burma, Malaya, Lanyin, and the Philippines to launch the No. 1 offensive to create opportunities for the Lanyin Islands.

At the same time, a small Japanese aircraft carrier group cruising the Caroline Islands began to advance towards the island of Papua New Guinea and the Australian mainland. No one, including all the crew members of the aircraft carrier group and the pilots on the mission, knew that all the bombs that would be dropped on the island of Papua New Guinea and the Australian mainland were biological and chemical weapons.

All the creatures on the island of Papua New Guinea, the barrier to Australia and its north, are facing a huge existential crisis!
