Section 2 Wandering Tokyo XIV

"Although the First Group Army has suffered losses, its combat effectiveness is still there, and the Northeast operation has just begun, so it is too early to turn to rest and recuperate." Huang Botao is not good at words, and his tone is obviously dissatisfied.

Huang Botao was not dissatisfied with whether the 55th Army should be allowed to rest and recuperate, but he was dissatisfied with letting the First Army rest and recuperate. Since the formation of the expeditionary force, he has been working under Zhuang Jihua for four years, and he can be regarded as an old subordinate, and he has a better understanding of Zhuang Jihua's combat habits.

Zhuang Jihua often pressurizes those troops he trusts, restricts the use of troops he does not trust, and gives you relatively light combat tasks. Ascension, no mén: change of equipment, no mén: supplement, at the end.

"Storm Jiuménkou, the commander will let the 55th Army serve" Du Yuming said with a smile: "Brother Huanran, it shows that the commander attaches great importance to the First Group Army, let you rest and recuperate, because we can't use so many troops in the front, you see, Brother Han Jie has not fired a single shot so far, Lu Ruishan Xia Yanglin, these two boys are so anxious to jump up and down in the back, they don't dare to make trouble with the commander, so they call me one after another." ”

"Brother Huanran, the First Army can't eat all the ròu, you have to leave some for us."

Fan Hanjie also laughed.

Du Yuming had three group armies and two armies under his command, and two other armies were assembled near Qinhuangdao, which were directly under the jurisdiction of the theater and could be included in his attack cluster at any time.

With such a huge force, the front of the attack is relatively narrow, and it is impossible to use all the forces, and even if it enters the northeast, the front of the attack is still not large, and only one group army can be used.

Huang Botao smiled reluctantly, he still had some doubts in his heart, Du Yuming turned his head and issued an order, let the 77th Army of the 50th Group Army take over the 55th Army, the new 7th Army took over the new 3rd Army, and launched an attack on Pingluan, the 60th Army followed by the 77th Army, and the 5th Army and the 108th Army of the 19th Army followed suit.

The six little devils walked fast, and the Cultural Revolution may have miscalculated this time. After the order was given, Du Yuming turned his head and smiled at Fan Hanjie and Huang Botao, his expression seemed to be a little gloating.

But if you really think he's gloating, you're wrong. Whether it is Li Zhilong, Du Yuming, Song Xilian, Fan Hanjie, these first-term classmates, or Qiu Qingquan, Zhang Lingfu, Liao Yaoxiang, these juniors, in front of Zhuang Jihua, they all compare ways, and it is common to joke and fight, but in fact, these people have a close relationship with Zhuang Jihua, respect and admire him, Zhuang Jihua's order, even the unruly Qiu Qingquan and Zhang Lingfu do not dare to disobey at all.

Zhuang Jihua's temperament has also profoundly affected these people, especially Li Zhilong, Du Yuming, and Fan Hanjie, these people are together, and they often make fun of each other, but now their positions are too high, and there are almost no fights in public, but verbal teasing is indispensable.

Huang Botao was a little puzzled, but before he could ask, Fan Hanjie preemptively asked, "What's wrong with him?" ”

"Lu Ruishan and Xia Yanglin, these two boys, send a telegram a day, for fear that the little devil will be killed by us, but in fact, before the war, the Cultural Revolution made a plan, and he secretly collected about 5,000 boats, ready to prepare when the time is ripe. landed on Huludao, Okabe Naosaburo ran away, and his mood was depressed. Du Yuming smiled very regretfully.

Han Jie and Huang Botao lost their voices almost at the same time, and the adjutant and guards in the distance couldn't help but look over, thinking that something had happened. The Kuomintang had never carried out a landing operation, but Zhuang Jihua actually dared, and he took two armies at a time.

Fan Hanjie sighed softly, in this offensive, Zhuang Jihua was unusual, he did not summon the commanders of various group armies to Tangshan for a meeting to discuss operational deployment as before, but only called Du Yuming, Song Xilian, Sun Zhen, and the three group commanders to a meeting, and the commanders and commanders of the group armies below only knew the tasks of their troops and were not clear about the overall strategy.

In view of the deployment of the Japanese army, Zhuang Jihua planned to land on Huludao, and after the landing force went ashore, he would seize Jinzhou and encircle and annihilate the main force of the Japanese army in western Liaoning: to realize this strategy, it was necessary to occupy Chaoyang by the 24th Group Army and turn around and move south: at the same time, the Harbin troops would move south to occupy Changchūn and break through Gongzhuling.

This plan is only known to a few people such as Zhuang Jihua, Xu Zuyi, Stilwell, Du Yuming, Song Xilian, Sun Zhen and so on, in order to cooperate with this plan, Du Yuming's attack on Shanhaiguan was fierce, in order to attract the main force of the Japanese army in front of Shanhaiguan, and Song Xilian's attack on the middle road was also fierce, and all their purposes were to stick the main force of the Japanese army in western Liaoning, so that the main force from the south of Heilongjiang could outflank the rear of the Japanese army and encircle and annihilate the Kwantung Army in the western Liaoning corridor.

Okabe Naosaburo began to retreat after a few days of hard topping, which was unexpected by Zhuang Jihua, and if this continued, the main force of Heilongjiang southward had not yet occupied Changchūn, and the Japanese army in western Liaoning withdrew to Nanmanchuria, with its back to the Yalu River, so that the next battle was difficult to predict.

There was a sudden burst of cheers in the city, and the three of them hurriedly looked over, several trucks carrying rocket launchers were entering the city, and the citizens on the street looked at this mighty weapon and equipment, and let out deafening cheers, some enthusiastic citizens tied the national flag to the trucks, and more people reached out to mō, and the convoy was blocked by the citizens who poured out and was forced to stop.

The gendarmes, who were in charge of maintaining order, came running profusely and tried to separate the citizens and free the rocket artillery units from the crowd, but soon they were also drowned in the enthusiastic citizens.

Du Yuming shook his head slightly, he was a little helpless, there were too many such situations, it often happened during the attack on Tianjin, and it was still in wartime, and the citizens braved the Japanese artillery fire from all corners to support **.

"The little devil is also learning jīng now, and he no longer sticks to one city and one place." Fan Hanjie smiled a little regretfully, this plan is undoubtedly very good, but it is a pity that Naosaburo Okabe does not cooperate, otherwise, it will be another beautiful battle of annihilation.

After a few years, the Japanese army's combat style was almost thoroughly pondered by the generals of the Chinese country, and the Japanese army's tactics were rigid, and they rarely made changes according to the actual situation, which was especially obvious in the Battle of Shandong and the Battle of Northern Burma.

Before the Battle of Shandong, the best strategy of the army was to withdraw to the north of the Yellow River and abandon Jinan and Jiaodong, but Matsui Shigen was so stubborn, sticking to the Taishan defense line, and then being detoured to Jiaodong by Zhuang Jihua, the 12th Army in North China was almost wiped out, and the entire front was torn to pieces.

In the Battle of North China, the Japanese army faced Zhuang Jihua's two million army on the plain with nearly 500,000 troops, and the best strategy was to retreat to the Great Wall, using the terrain here to consume and delay the [Middle] ** team, but Okamura Ningji decided on a passive strategy of being beaten, and as a result, he was divided and surrounded, and the whole army was annihilated.

In this attack on the northeast, both Zhuang Jihua and Stilwell and Chongqing's Chen Cheng and Wei Demai judged that the Japanese army would hold the defensive line in western Liaoning, but they did not expect that Okabe Naosaburo would start to retreat after just a few days of fighting, and the killing move prepared by Zhuang Jihua would be abandoned.

Originally, he was accumulating strength and preparing to attack, but in the end, he found that the opponent he was going to fight had disappeared, and the accumulated strength flowed back to his body, and it was uncomfortable to know.

"It's to learn jīng, but their strategy of the Cultural Revolution is jīng" Du Yuming said calmly: "From Songhu to the present, the Cultural Revolution has been invincible, and the famous generals of the Japanese army have been repeatedly defeated, and the Japanese army is also studying his strategy and tactics, so when Harbin loses the Japanese army, I am afraid that I will understand, the Cultural Revolution is still playing the same set of sounds, but this time it is the sound before and after." Huang Botao nodded, and said with a little emotion: "Commander Du's words are reasonable, the battle in northern Burma is the sound of the front and the after, the battle of Shandong is the north and the east, and the battle of North China is the sound of the left and right and hit, the commander of the battle, it looks complicated and is actually simple, but if you really feel that it is simple, it is actually tǐng complicated." ”

Fan Hanjie nodded approvingly, he didn't participate in the battle of northern Burma, but the battle of northern Hubei and the battle of Shandong and North China, he did not fall, analyzing this northern battle, it seems very simple, the main thing is that the Japanese army made mistakes, but if you want to ask why you made mistakes, it will be complicated.

"Good fighters have no outstanding achievements,、, Du Yuming said with a smile: "The plan of the Cultural Revolution fell through, but it gave us a chance, Han Jiegong, your Fifth Army is our striking force, you don't need to use too much strength from here to Jinzhou, after passing Jinzhou, the Fifth Army will act alone, detour to Anshan from the south, and then occupy Benxi, blocking the Japanese army's southward retreat." ”

Huang Botao thought about it for a while and couldn't help frowning slightly: "Commander, if you want to take a detour to the southern front, I suggest that I gather the whole army and think, next, what if the Japanese army in western Liaoning does not withdraw to Shenyang, but flees directly to the south?" Even if the Japanese army in western Liaoning withdrew to Shenyang, twenty-two, twenty-two, twenty-three, twenty-four, three group armies, the strength of which was more than enough. ”

Du Yuming hesitated slightly, Huang Botao's words were very right, the Central Group under the command of Song Xilian had three group armies and two armies, and the total strength exceeded him, and with the strength of this army, it was completely capable of capturing Shenyang alone, and there was no need for the 50th Group Army.

"I think it's okay, Brother Huanran, you're too worried, the little devil is now going south with all his might, Shenyang is almost an undefended city, the 50th Group Army can completely occupy Shenyang in pursuit, and then go south to Benxi, with our Fifth Army, we can completely destroy the main force of the Kwantung Army."

Fan Hanjie's tone was full of arrogance, the Fifth Army had more than 80,000 people, more than 600 tanks and armored vehicles, more than 100 self-propelled guns, 30 rocket artillery vehicles, thousands of trucks, and almost the entire group army was mounted on wheels.

This unit was the first mechanized unit in China, and from the day it was formed, it was under the direct jurisdiction of the National Military Committee, and it was Chiang Kai-shek's heart.

In the Seven Years War, the Fifth Army made great achievements, and in the Second Battle of Jinpu Road, it went to the aid of thousands of miles and was the main force of Shangqiu's counterattack: in the Battle of Northern Hubei, it attacked Xinyang and cut off the Pinghan Line: In the Battle of Xuzhou, the Fifth Army pressed Gu Shoufu and forced it not to dare to advance eastward: In the Battle of North China, the Central Government broke through and completely annihilated the Zhengxin Counterattack Corps. As many as seven units in the whole army have been awarded the Flying Tiger Banner, as many as 1,000 officers and soldiers have been awarded the Order of the Blue Sky and White Sun, and countless other medals have been awarded.

In addition, the biggest difference between this unit and other units is that there are a lot of veterans, Fan Hanjie loves soldiers like children, and even if the soldiers of the Fifth Army are wounded, after they are wounded, they try to return to the Fifth Army instead of going to other units.

With these veterans, the newly recruited soldiers under the leadership of the veterans will soon be able to form combat effectiveness, and the team of this army is excellent in cooperation with the infantry and artillery and infantry and tank, and to some extent, it is stronger than Qiu Qingquan's First Mechanized Group Army.

It was with such strength that Fan Hanjie dared to boast that the Fifth Army alone could defeat the main force of the Kwantung Army.
