Chapter 415: Harbin is in an emergency
According to Chen Jinghui's order, Zhang Erzhu and they attacked Changchun overnight, fought with the devils, and did not stop fighting until 12 o'clock at night.
In the next two days, Chen Jinghui asked them to attack until late at night, and the devils were embarrassed, and more than half of the positions outside the city were lost. But the devil still clings to Changchun and continues to wait for help.
"Report, Chief of Staff Chen called, the landing of the devil on the Korean Peninsula has been clarified, and a total of 7 divisions and brigades have been landed, with a total of about 150,000 people." Said the communications staff officer.
"Okay, tell Chief of Staff Chen, pay close attention to the movements of the devils, and attack directly if necessary."
The devils only landed 150,000 men, while Wei Hua's Fourth Army had 100,000 men. With 100,000 against 150,000, coupled with the advantage of weapons and equipment, Chen Jinghui felt that Chief of Staff Chen should have no problem and could easily deal with it. Now he is most worried about the situation in Harbin and the time to capture Changchun.
"Come on, ask Mr. Peng, how far they are from Harbin now, and when will they be able to arrive." Chen Jinghui said.
"Reporting to the commander, Commander-in-Chief Peng said that they are now about a hundred kilometers away from Harbin. Now the troops are very tired and resting, and it is expected to arrive in Harbin at noon tomorrow. Said the communications staff officer.
"Well, ask Huang Erwa, where is the Kwantung Army where the devil has returned and what is the situation now." Chen Jinghui said.
"Report, Division Commander Huang called back, the Devil Kwantung Army is now about 70 kilometers away from Harbin, although they are very tired now, but they are still marching, and it is estimated that they will not rest until midnight. It is estimated that they will be able to arrive in Harbin tomorrow morning, and it is likely that they will attack the city directly. Said the communications staff officer.
"The Marine Divisions defending Harbin were ordered to be ready for battle overnight and ready to meet the offensive of the Kwantung Army at any time. At the same time, he telegraphed Mr. Peng, hoping that he could hurry up and rush to Harbin as soon as possible. Chen Jinghui said.
"Yes." The staff officer turned and left to deliver the order.
Chen Jinghui stood alone in front of the map, looking at the current situation map of the two sides, and was very worried about whether Harbin could hold it.
Although Mr. Peng has more than 300,000 troops on his side, plus his own marine division, which is more than 400,000, there is still a certain danger to directly compete with the Kwantung Army, which is twice as large as them. This situation is very unfavorable to the flying fox, but at present, Chen Jinghui has no choice, so he can only do it here in a hurry and find a way.
"Yes, there is."
Half an hour later, Chen Jinghui suddenly thought of a unit that could help him. But I can't come forward directly, and I need Yan'an to come forward to be able to work.
"Someone, send a report to Commander Mao and the commander-in-chief, asking them to negotiate with the Soviet Union and send troops from Outer Mongolia to attack the devil Kwantung Army in Siberia. Tell them that the devils have withdrawn nearly 700,000 troops to help the northeast, and they can almost eat the remaining hundreds of thousands of Kwantung Army. Chen Jinghui said.
Yan'an soon received a telegram from Chen Jinghui. Commander Mao discussed with Commander-in-Chief Zhu and felt that Chen Jinghui was asking himself to ask the Soviet Union for help. Because the devil returned to support another 700,000 troops, Chen Jinghui's troops would definitely not be able to withstand it. Even if Mr. Peng's Eighth Army arrived, it wouldn't last long. So they understand that Chen Jinghui is trying to use the Soviet Union to contain the attention of the devils and create opportunities for themselves.
Understanding this, Commander-in-Chief Mao and Commander-in-Chief Zhu did not think much about it, and directly sent a telegram to Stalin, emphasizing that this was a great opportunity to eat the devils who attacked the Siberian defense line.
After consulting with Zhukov and the others, Stalin felt that this was indeed a good opportunity, so he immediately agreed, and immediately began to mobilize the forces of Outer Mongolia to the Siberian line. In their current opinion, the troops of Outer Mongolia will have to leave sooner or later, so it is more appropriate to leave now.
"Kill give, kill give."
Boom, boom, boom
What no one expected was that early the next morning, the devils rushed to the outside of the defense line of the Harbin Marine Division. They did not rest at all and directly began to attack the defense line of the Marine Division.
"Hide quickly, pay attention to the shelling, quickly."
Several division commanders of the Marine Division saw that the devil was so fierce as soon as he came, and immediately ordered to dodge, avoid its edge, and always observe the position where the devil was advancing.
"Kill give, kill give."
The officers of those devils were like hungry wolves, as if they hadn't fought in a long time, and although they were very tired, they all had a kind of longing and excitement for war. One by one, they pointed at the positions of the landing division with command knives and commanded those soldiers to start attacking.
"Get into the battle position, the devil is coming."
Fifteen minutes later, the artillery bombardment of the devils ended, and the devil's infantry, with the help of artillery fire, had advanced to a position of 100 meters in front of the position. When the company commander in charge of observation saw this situation, he immediately reminded the soldiers loudly to enter the combat position to block the devils.
Da-da-da, da-da-da
Chirp, boom
The soldiers of the Marine Division, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly entered the designated position, and the guns in their hands immediately began to fire. The bazooka man was even more swift, and he aimed directly at the machine gunner of the devil and began to bombard.
"Hurry over there, a few of you go to the fourth company, go quickly."
In the blink of an eye, the battle went on for an hour, and when there was a problem with the defensive line of a battalion, the battalion commander immediately began to adjust and mobilize people to collect reinforcements from places where the losses were relatively large.
"Yo Xi, continue to invest troops in the attack, and strive to break through the enemy's defense line in one fell swoop."
The devil commander saw that although his soldiers were tired, the numerical advantage still played a great role, and the enemy he fought constantly made defensive adjustments.
Kill to give, kill to give
Due to the large number of devils, they continue to inject new troops to participate in the attack. Although the Marine Division was said to be waiting for work, it still felt very difficult to defend because of the long defensive line.
"If it doesn't go on like this, it won't last long, so I'll send a report to the commander immediately and ask when the Eighth Road will arrive."
Several division commanders saw that their respective defense lines were constantly breached by the devil's fresh forces, and immediately gathered together to discuss, feeling that they could hold at most one noon, and in the afternoon they would not be able to hold it. So they were in a hurry, and they began to think that Chen Jinghui would ask when the reinforcements would arrive.
"Tell them to hold on, Mr. Peng will soon feel that he must persevere."
After reading the telegram, Chen Jinghui immediately encouraged them. He can only give them hope now, but he can't give them specific time.
"Immediately order Mr. Peng that he must feel Harbin at twelve o'clock at noon, otherwise military law will be engaged."
"Order the 123rd Army to continue to intensify the attack on Changchun, and be sure to break through Changchun City within two days."
Chen Jinghui is also very anxious now, and some situations are about to get out of control. Therefore, the two orders he issued, the time stipulation, were also very harsh.
"Hurry, hurry, speed, hurry."
Mr. Peng received a telegram from Chen Jinghui and knew that the situation was urgent, so he fortunately started to hurry early, and now he is not far from Harbin.
Boom
The officers and men of the Eighth Army had just won the battle, so the momentum was victorious, and the march was very fast. The mighty procession is constantly marching on the road.
Da-da-da, da-da-da
"Hurry over there, you guys go over there for reinforcements, quick."
Da-da-da, boom
"Send the guard regiment up at once, quick."
"Commander, this is our last strength."
"Don't talk nonsense, when is it now, it's still so much, let's hold noon first, and then go and deliver the order."
"Alas......"
Da-da-da, da-da-da
"Comrades, hold on, reinforcements from the Eighth Army will arrive soon, everyone hold on a little longer."
The battle had been going on for four hours, and four marine divisions, several kilometers of the defensive line, began to crumble, and each division slapped its reserves and guard units on it, and was defending the line to the death.
"Let's go, let's go up too."
After another ten minutes, the battle was miserable, the defense line began to be precarious, and those division commanders snatched guns from the guards, and at the first order, they rushed to the front with everyone in the command to participate in the battle.
"Commander, can we hold it?" One of the fighters asked.
"Don't worry! We can hold it. Comrades, rest assured, our reinforcements will arrive soon, and as long as you hold out for an hour, victory will be ours. The commander of the first division shouted.
"Division Commander, we believe in you, victory is ours." Some fighters shouted.
"We have a problem with our strength now, let's hide first and wait until the devil gets closer before fighting." The commander of the first division said.
"Rest assured, division commander, we will definitely be able to hold the line of defense and arm the devils to step into Harbin." A company commander said.
"Yes, don't worry, division commander, even if we die, we won't let the devil step over the position." Some fighters shouted.
"The devil is coming up, ready to fight."
The division commander kept observing the outside of the position, and when he found that the devil had come up again, he immediately reminded the officers and men to pay attention and prepare for battle.
beat
Da-da-da, da-da-da
Chirp, boom, boom
When the devil approached the position 100 meters, under the leadership of the division commander and officers, the fighters hidden in the trenches suddenly stood up and entered the combat position, and the guns in their hands immediately opened fire. In an instant, countless bullets and rockets sped out, rushing towards the devil.
"Baga, kill it."
Originally, the devil saw that the enemy's position was quiet, and thought that the enemy had been defeated, so he was very happy in his heart, and was ready to take the position of the Marine Division in one fell swoop. What they didn't expect was that the enemy suddenly came out and gave them a head-on blow, and instantly went to the next big piece.
So the devil officer was also angry, and directly stood up with a command knife and began to point to the position of the landing division, ordering the soldiers to attack frantically, completely forgetting that they were a tired division.
