Chapter 565: Endless reinforcements from the Eastern Crusade

Although the Japanese bombing caused very few casualties, it gave Wang Weizhou and others a reminder that from today onwards, the battle between the Inner Mongolia Military Region and the Kwantung Army has started in an all-round way, and this all-round situation not only refers to the battle on land, but also includes the battle in the sky.

In their own situation, they know very well that compared with the strong strength of the aviation units of the Kwantung Army, the aviation units of the Inner Mongolia Military Region are just a scum, and the number of fighters alone is not half a star compared with the two sides. In addition to more than 220 fully equipped fighters of the latest fighters, the Kwantung Army also has more than 150 bombers, in addition to the Kwantung Army also has more than 200 old fighters of Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army captured. That is to say, there are as many as 570 fighters that can be mobilized by the Kwantung Army, and this is not counting the more than 150 Type 96 fighters in North Korea.

In contrast, the aviation team of the Inner Mongolia Military Region is a cockroach in front of the Kwantung Army, and after the last war, the aviation team of the Inner Mongolia Military Region has less than 60 fighters, so Han Yunhua can only order Shangguan Qingyun to take advantage of the Japanese not to react and look for an opportunity to do a vote, and at other times he does not dare to attack, once he is entangled by the Japanese fighters, the consequences will be disastrous.

Sure enough, in the battle of the second day, the Japanese air force was as excited as if it had taken an aphrodisiac, and basically had to come every two hours, and each time it had to throw a large number of aerial bombs on the head of the second division; although the air defense positions of the second division were also complete, they still could not support such bombing, and by the evening, the second brigade, which was the main attacker, was a little overwhelmed. The casualties of the troops are good to say, because the preparations are relatively sufficient, so the casualties are still within the acceptable range, but the weapons and equipment of the troops have been destroyed a lot, especially the heavy artillery regiment that the second brigade has just borrowed from the division headquarters, and before it has played much role, it was destroyed by the Japanese aviation unit 6 heavy guns, and the entire heavy artillery regiment has a total of 10 105mm heavy guns, which were destroyed by the Japanese fighters, not only Wang Weizhou felt heartache. Even Han Yunhua, who was far away in Ulanhot, sent a telegram to inquire after learning the news, and his tone was indescribably pity.

Although the battle on the second day was not smooth, the 2nd Division still beat the Japanese 14th Infantry Division to cry and cry. Originally, Major General Inoue thought that no matter how powerful the squadron was in the small place of Aldu, it would only be able to set up one or two infantry regiments, and no matter how much it was, it would not be of much use, so he only sent one infantry wing and thousands of directly subordinate troops to participate in the battle. However, he did not expect Wang Weizhou to launch an attack from the south and north of the Japanese position, although the terrain in these two directions was not conducive to the attack of the squadron, but Wang Weizhou in order to speed up the attrition of the Japanese army, knowing that such an attack was somewhat worth the loss but still expanded the battlefield. In a hurry, Major General Inoue Taro had to send the Iwata Wing, which had just been withdrawn, to send it again, so that the reserves in the hands of Major General Inoue were only a few hundred people, and at this time Major General Inoue thought of what Chief of Staff Yoshimura said.

However, as a major general, Major General Taro Inoue had his own pride, and he was unwilling to admit that his command level and strategic vision were not as good as that of a mere chief of staff of Nakasa, and this fact embarrassed him. On the one hand, Major General Inoue ordered the troops to shrink their forces to the center of Aldu Town, and on the other hand, he ordered the engineer team directly under the brigade to build a new position along the existing positions of the Japanese army.

However, to the horror of Major General Taro Inoue, a huge roar came from the team's position at about 12 o'clock on the evening of the 30th, and the dazzling lights kept coming from afar, and the rumbling roar was like the roar of millions of monsters. The experienced Major General Inoue listened attentively for a while and knew that this was the chariot unit of the squadron, and there should be no less than a few hundred vehicles.

Major General Inoue and Pale Yoshimura Nakasa glanced at each other, and they both saw surprise and fear in each other's eyes, if so many chariots were to launch a frenzy, it was really not something that the current 14th Infantry Brigade could bear. It is important to know that the town of Aldu, where the 14th Infantry Brigade is located, has almost no strategic commanding heights to rely on. In the middle of the city from Aldu to Shuangliao is a flat grassland, which is extremely suitable for the charge of chariot troops.

More importantly, the combat team in the first two days did not use tank troops, and the only few heavy artillery pieces were wiped out by the air force of the Imperial Japan, so when building defensive positions, the infantry did not build anti-tank trenches, because the trenches were not only wide but also long, and the amount of work was extremely heavy, and it was obviously not suitable for the 14th Infantry Brigade to build anti-tank trenches in a hurry.

But I didn't expect that China's tank troops would be at this juncture, which is really fatal. Inoue Taro couldn't care about the face problem anymore, he grabbed the phone on the desk and dialed directly to Lieutenant General Jingguan Takasho in Shuangliao City.

"Moxi Moxi, Moxi Moxi, is it the division headquarters, I am Taro Inoue, the commander of the 14th Infantry Brigade, please help me pick up His Excellency the division commander."

"Yes, please wait!" After the orderly finished speaking, Taro Inoue heard the orderly shouting loudly from the phone: "Your Excellency the commander of the reporting division, the commander of the Inoue brigade has asked to talk to you, please give instructions!" ”

"Hey, I'm Jingguan, please speak."

From the phone, Major General Inoue heard that this was the voice of His Excellency the Division Commander, and Major General Inoue did not dare to slack off, and immediately puffed up his chest and said: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, the humble position is Taro Inoue. ”

"Inoue, how is the situation at the front, are there many casualties among the troops?" Takamasa Iseki, who was on the other side of the phone, asked.

"Report to Your Excellency the commander of the division, the Chinese troops are extremely tenacious, and the lowly 14th Brigade is facing the 2nd Division, the main force of the Northeast Army Division of China, with a total strength of more than 30,000 people, and the support of the Zhina Aviation Force, so the losses of the lowly post department are very large, and almost all the troops are invested, and the reserve is only a mere 500 people. I have just received a report from the front-line command post, and not long ago, the chariot troops of the Zhina people also came to support, and it seems that there must be several hundred vehicles, so I asked His Excellency the division commander to give strong support to the headquarters of the lowly office. "Major General Inoue directly explained his request, he knew that if His Excellency the Division Commander agreed to reinforcements now, then his 14th Infantry Brigade would still have a way to live, and if it was too late, it would be really troublesome, because once the chariot troops of the Dawn Branch would attack, it would be too late to reinforce at that time.

"Inoue, you can be sure that the chariot troops of the Chinese have arrived in Aldu, not their cars." Jingguan Longchang is also very concerned about the movements of the chariot units of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, knowing that any mechanized unit on the Chinese battlefield may lead to a fundamental change in the entire battle situation, the chariot units of the corps have proven their might, and the fiasco of tens of thousands of cavalry on the Saibei battlefield is a classic example. Therefore, at the last meeting, General Yamada Otozo made a special exhortation to the commanders of all divisions to pay special attention to the technical units of the Shina people, especially the large number of chariot units in the Shina people.

"Hai, Your Excellency, the humble post is now at the front-line command post, less than 800 meters away from the position of the Chinese people, and even 3 hours ago, this underground command post where the humble post is located was shelled by the Chinese artillery, and the chief of staff of Yoshimura was injured, so the humble post saw and heard it with his own eyes, although the humble post can't hear which type of chariot it is, but the approximate number should not be wrong, the Shina people also have at least more than 300 chariots, please be sure to ...
