[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 1185: Airborne Anqing (Ask for subscription!) , ask for a monthly pass, ask for everything! ）

After receiving Xu Hu's telegram, Ma Zhengna was overjoyed, and immediately ordered Xu Hu to immediately launch an attack on the Japanese puppet strongholds within the Anqing range, and the most important thing was to take the Japanese army's logistics base in one fell swoop, otherwise his troops would be in danger.

Because each person in this battle only had 200 rounds of ammunition and a day's dry rations, if the battle reached a stalemate, then their troops would fall into a miserable situation of running out of ammunition and food.

Fortunately, the Japanese army did not expect that Ma Zheng's department would have such a strong transportation capacity, so when the troops below reported to Lieutenant General Toyoda Ichiro, commander of the Anqing garrison, that there was a strange sound of aircraft flying in the defense area, Lieutenant General Toyoda ignored it.

Because the night bombing has almost no effect, especially after the implementation of light control in the whole city, no matter how many bombers come, it is still unknown whether they can find the bombing target, and as for the accuracy rate, there is no guarantee.

But soon Lieutenant General Toyoda noticed that something was wrong, and when he learned that the Anqing airport had been captured and a large number of Chinese planes landed at the airport, a large number of Chinese soldiers appeared outside the city of Anqing and launched an attack on the defenders inside the city.

The sudden attack caught the Japanese army by surprise, and the vast majority of the Japanese army had just woken up, and they became unjustly killed in a daze.

At 7 a.m., the Anqing railway station was occupied, hundreds of large warehouses became trophies of Xu Hu's headquarters, and about 3,000 Japanese troops were surrounded near an old building, in a dilemma.

While the main force was attacking Anqing, Xu Hu sent his troops as divisions to attack Tongcheng, Chizhou and other places, hoping to cut off the rear route of the Japanese army.

The news of the fall of Anqing was quickly sent to the front line in Xuzhou, especially the news that a large number of Shina soldiers appeared in the rear completely made Genbo petrified. No one knows the importance of Anqing better than him, you must know that the life and death of these hundreds of thousands of troops on the front line are closely related to that small city in China.

Without the rear base of Anqing, hundreds of thousands of troops eat and drink, and they can eat and drink, but they generally need weapons and ammunition to fight a war, although there is still a batch of ammunition in stock in the hands of the troops, how can it support for how long, 3 days or 5 days, and what should the troops do after these 3 or 5 days.

Not only was Nebo stunned by the sudden news, but even the entire Chinese Dispatch Army Command felt that the situation was tricky.

Although Anqing is only a small city, it shoulders extremely important responsibilities, not to mention what kind of situation it will be like for such a huge batch of military supplies to fall into the hands of the enemy, just the supply of hundreds of thousands of troops on the front line has become an important issue.

That's not hundreds of thousands, with the Japanese army's airlift capacity on the Chinese battlefield simply can't support the supply of so many troops, and since the general of China has thought of cutting off his back road, then he will guard against the Japanese army's airdrop of supplies, with the strength of the powerful air force on the Chinese side, as long as the Japanese air force dares to come, I am afraid that it will be swallowed up without even dregs.

Fortunately, the troops often had to carry a week's worth of war materials with them when they were fighting, so Okamura Ninji still had a buffer of six or seven days.

The battle on the front line was in full swing, Ma Zheng ordered the troops to intensify the attack, never give the Japanese army any time to breathe, and the two major corps continuously launched attacks on the Japanese army from the north and south.

What Ma Zheng wanted was this effect, that is, he wanted the Japanese army to open fire on the entire front, only in this way would the shortcomings of the Japanese army's excessively long front and lack of soldiers be undoubtedly revealed, and the Chinese defenders would seize the opportunity to annihilate the enemy.

What's more, the KMT-CCP talks seem to have reached an impasse, and some elders of the Nationalist Government are not willing to support the CCP, and Ma Zheng feels that it is necessary to deter these people.

As the saying goes, killing chickens shows monkeys, and the North China Front is a tiger compared to a weak hen, but Ma Zheng feels that killing a tiger can deter those monkeys more.

However, Okamura Ningji was really powerful, and under such an unfavorable situation that the back road was cut off and the logistics base was ended, he actually ordered the Japanese army in Henan to immediately counterattack Zhoukou and firmly hold there, and at the same time quickly open the communication line between Xinyang and Wuhan, and transport materials from the land to Xuzhou.

But cutting off the supplies of the Japanese army was only one of Ma Zheng's intentions, and more importantly, Ma Zheng wanted to flank the Japanese army from the north and south, and completely annihilate the North China Front. Moreover, Ma Zheng prepared a luxurious feast for the Japanese army this time, Ma Zheng believes that as long as the Japanese army is unprepared, I am afraid that it will not be able to support it for a few days and will completely collapse.

Ma Zheng's secret weapon is actually very simple, and it is all from the hands of the Japanese. During the liberation of Northeast China, Ma Zheng's department seized a large number of poison gas bombs, and also captured a huge number of Japanese military doctors.

Treating others in the same way, Ma Zheng just wants to see what kind of expression Okamura Ningji will have when the poisonous gas produced by the Japanese falls on the heads of the Japanese on a large scale.

And Ma Zheng knows that although the Japanese army can carry gas masks when marching and fighting, the number is far from one person, and only the troops in charge of the front line will be equipped with a little, and it would be good if 100,000 troops of the 500,000 troops on the front line in Xuzhou could have gas masks.

The most important point is that the international community knows that the CCP does not have the ability to produce poison gas bombs, so even if the front-line troops use poison gas bombs, no one believes it.

Sure enough, in the next few days of fighting, due to the large-scale use of poison gas bombs by Ma Zheng's troops, the Japanese forward positions were all occupied with only a weak resistance, and the battle line was advanced by more than 50 kilometers in one day.

Just when Ma Zheng's troops were engaged in a counteroffensive on the entire northern front, in the Pacific theater, the U.S. military also invested unprecedented troops to launch the Philippine Campaign.

The US Navy has the US 3rd Fleet and the 7th Fleet, with a total of more than 800 combat ships including 16 large aircraft carriers, 18 escort aircraft carriers, 12 battleships, 11 heavy cruisers, 15 light cruisers, 144 destroyers, and 25 frigates, and about 1,700 carrier-based aircraft.

On the Burma battlefield, China, the United States and Britain jointly formulated a combat plan to counterattack Burma, that is, the third Burma campaign began, in the Burma battlefield, China invested 9 divisions of 170,000 people, Britain invested 5 Indo-Burmese divisions of 80,000 people, and the United States also invested a large number of naval forces to participate in the war, but their enemy was only the Japanese army was a disabled 15th Army.

In the face of the strong attack of the United States, the Japanese army was not to be outdone, and the Japanese army base camp quickly introduced the "Jie-1" battle plan to deal with the American attack.

After learning the news of the US army's counterattack on the Philippines, Ma Zheng was overjoyed, but he knew that Japan was rapidly moving towards extinction after the Philippine Campaign, especially after the Philippine Campaign, especially after the Battle of Leyte Gulf, Japan's navy almost lost all its combat capability, which is undoubtedly good news for China.

Moreover, Ma Zheng also knew that at the most critical time of the Philippine Campaign, the Japanese army urgently transferred a large number of troops from the Chinese battlefield south to reinforce the Philippines, which was good news for the dire Chinese battlefield.

Now with the containment of the Americans, Ma Zheng is more confident to win this battle.

Moreover, the troops on the front line did not disappoint him, and Yang Chengwu's division successfully pinned down nearly 6 divisions of the Japanese army on the Taierzhuang front, while Huang Sicheng's department made a detour to the west and surrounded Xuzhou from the flank.

On September 4, the front line of Xiling Mountain garrisoned by the 88th Division of the Japanese Army was defeated by Ma Zheng's department, and the position of Xiling Mountain was lost. In the south, Xu Hu's department has already hit Chaohu, Chizhou, and Tongling.

In addition, with the help of huge air transport capacity, Ma Zheng carried out a large-scale airdrop in Henan and Jiangsu provinces, and 200,000 troops were put into these two battlefields by Ma Zheng.

Ma Zheng was well aware of the strength of the North China Front, and according to the reports of the soldiers on the front, they found a large number of Japanese soldiers in their teens on the battlefield, and there were many more Japanese soldiers over the age of 50.

Therefore, Ma Zheng judged that although the North China Front Army appeared to be strong, in fact there were not many units with real combat effectiveness, and the vast majority of them were newly transferred recruits from Japan or troops composed of retired veterans.

I am afraid that the geometry of the combat effectiveness of such a unit is not clear, such a force is really not as good as the mud legs of the previous Eighth Route Army, at least those soldiers of the Eighth Route Army have also not carried out strict military training, but they have a lot of enthusiasm, and they have the courage to work hard.

The North China Front was right to concentrate its main forces to block Ma Zheng's troops in the area north of Xuzhou, but they underestimated the creativity of the Chinese and even more so Ma Zheng's courage.

The North China Front can gather 400,000 troops in the Xuzhou area, but Ma Zheng does not believe that they can also mobilize 400,000 troops in Jiangsu and Henan, since the frontal battlefield can achieve a decisive victory in a short time, then Ma Zheng believes that it is necessary to give Okamura Ningji a strategic encirclement.
