Chapter 148: Terrible Enemy

After Matsui Ishine shut up and sat down in his position, Okamura Ninji opened his mouth and said, "According to the information provided by the special high school, as well as my many battles with Jiang Li on the battlefield during this time, for Jiang Li, the commander of the China Army, I can only describe it in two words. ”

"Okamura-kun, the battle of Fengtian City is indeed extremely difficult, but isn't it a little inappropriate to respect a Shina person so much." The commander of the 10th Division, Hirose Shousuke, said with a frown.

"Your Excellency Hirose, if you listen to me for a while, you will know if I am admiring this Shina person, of course, I hope to admire an imperial soldier." Okamura Ninji said indifferently in the face of Hirose Shousuke's questioning.

"From the night of September 18, Jiang Li, a battalion commander of the 973rd Battalion of the 7th Brigade of the National Defense Brigade of the China Army, commanded more than 100,000 defenders to engage our Kwantung Army in less than three months, causing more than 100,000 casualties in the empire. I don't think I need to say anything more, everyone here should be able to feel that this is a near-impossible miracle. ”

"According to the oral accounts of some of the Imperial expatriates who survived from Mukden City, the soldiers attacked the Beidaying at the 2nd Independent Garrison Brigade that night. It was Jiang Li who took the lead and incited the soldiers of the 7th Brigade to resist. Then Jiang Li showed excellent command ability, and recaptured the Fengtian Arsenal, Dongdaying and other important places from the hands of the Second Division in a very short time, and divided his troops into several ways to eliminate the artillery of the 29th Infantry Wing, the 29th Wing Station, and the Second Garrison Brigade Station that entered the city. In the shortest possible time, the empire's army in Fengtian City was cleared, and Jiang Li intercepted the fleeing Zhang Haipeng, and used Zhang Haipeng's orders to issue a series of orders. Including the incident of the Second Brigade of Fengtian Provincial Defense going south to Mukden. This is the first step. ”

"Step two. Jiang Li expected that the Imperial Congress would send troops to attack Fengtian City, and sent an army north to Wenguantun to ambush two independent garrison brigades from Tieling and Gongzhu Lingnan. In addition, he led the main force to meet the main force of the 2nd Division from Liaoyang and arrived in Lushun on the morning of the next day. Jiang Li predicted that the strength of the 7th Brigade alone would not be able to destroy the 2nd Division. So he personally led his troops to make a detour of hundreds of miles overnight to raid Anshan County, cut off the supply of the Second Division, and made a posture of outflanking the Second Division. Jiang Li still did not rest, but returned to Fengtian City non-stop. At this time. Zhang Haipeng's descendants of the Chinese army rushed to the outside of Fengtian City and took Fengtian to release Zhang Haipeng. At one time, it posed a great threat to the situation of the Shina army in Mukden. But at this time, Jiang Li had returned to Fengtian City from Anshan County, he did not rest all the way, and only took two people to make a forced landing on Zhang Haipeng's Second Provincial Defense Brigade. As for the process, I believe most of you have already understood it, so I won't say much about it. However, these still did not allow Jiang Li to destroy the main force of the Kwantung Army before the imperial troops stationed in Korea arrived in Mukden City. Once the 39th Mixed Brigade arrived in Mukden, the Empire could still occupy the entire city of Mukden at a very small cost, and defeat each of the local armies in the northeast. ”

"But before Jiang Li went to Anshan, he sent a decisive force. Blew up the railway from Fengcheng to Mukden. The 39 mixed brigade, which rushed to Fengcheng, did not carry much baggage. The loss of the railway also cut off the ability to rush outside the city of Mukden with enough ammunition in a short time. The possibility of joining forces with the 2nd Division. ”

At this time, the Second Provincial Defense Brigade was forcibly absorbed, and Jiang Li had an extra 5,000 troops that could be mobilized to cover the vulnerable flanks. And the 2nd Division, under the onslaught of the 7th Brigade, had already lost reinforcements and had lost its baggage supplies. From the perspective of military science, the Second Division has become a lone army at this time. At this time, Jiang Li had already dispatched all the planes of Fengtian City to carry out a frontal assault on the second division with absolute superior firepower, dozens of planes and nearly 100 artillery pieces. The artillery wing of the 2nd Division lost half of it on the night of 18 September. So the 2nd Division was routed head-on. ”

"Even at this time, Jiang Li's series of victories were only temporary, and his alliance with Fengtian Garrison Commander Huang Xiansheng was only more than 10,000 people, and the new army would never exceed 20,000. Such strength still could not withstand the new Kwantung Army group that the empire headed north. ”

But Jiang Li implemented his third-step plan. Completely blockade all the Empire's assets in the northeast and blow up the Nanman Road south of Mukden. The speed of the empire's army increase was greatly reduced, which won him plenty of time for his arrangement, and it was precisely this time that Jiang Li perfected the fortifications of Fengtian City, and at the same time, led his troops to the north, captured Changchun City, and opened up the connection with the anti-Japanese army in the north. Taking advantage of the anti-Japanese coalition forces in Jilin and Heilongjiang, as well as the fortifications perfected with the help of hundreds of thousands of laborers, the Battle of Mukden, which is now inflicting heavy losses on the empire, has been achieved. ”

Of course, in addition to the big moves, there are also small actions, and the standard firearms that appeared among the guerrillas in various parts of China, even machine guns and mortars, were also arranged by Jiang Li in advance. It can be said that in this battle of Fengtian, Jiang Li's command in terms of tactics and strategic layout can be called perfect art. Jiang Li made the most of the resources that he could strive for, and created the most favorable situation for himself, taking advantage of the time, place, and people. The empire fought against the Chinese army in the worst situation, so it faced a group of Chinese troops whose quality was not very good, and the current situation was achieved. I don't know if everyone present still thinks that I am admiring Jiang Li, a person from Zhina? Okamura Ninji said softly.

Hiss! Everyone present couldn't help but gasp. In this series of wars, as long as there is a wrong link in the middle, it will be a complete loss. Playing such an amazing effect of playing a bad deck of cards in your hand, it is difficult to ask yourself if you change anyone present.

"Even if Jiang Li withdrew from Fengtian, what was left to the empire was a mess, and almost all of Fengtian's economic essence over the years was packed and taken away by him. Once the machinery that Jiang Li took away was put into production again in a certain place, Jiang Li would completely become the climate, and he would have more hole cards in his hand that could be played. Moreover, if the empire wants to clear Jilin, the anti-Japanese army in Heilongjiang is bound to take longer. ”

Itagaki Seishiro said in a condensed voice, it is easy to destroy and difficult to build, several major mining institutions have either been demolished or blown up, there is no railway, just to transport those machinery into the mining area is a big thing, to restore the Fushun coal mine to the previous production capacity, it will take at least three to four years, and it will be possible after the railway is repaired. Otherwise, can nearly 10 million tons of coal a year be pulled out by horse-drawn carts?

"Therefore, no matter how difficult it is, after occupying Mukden in China, we must try our best to enter the customs, give China a heavy blow, block as many channels as possible for Jiang Li to introduce resources and machinery, and not give him time to grow, and only by sending more troops can the empire control Japan as soon as possible and seize more land and resources from China." Matsui Ishine slammed his fist on the table and said loudly, "And all this starts with the destruction of Fengtian City, gentlemen, as long as we work harder, Fengtian City will definitely be trampled under the feet of the imperial army, long live the empire, long live the emperor!" ”

"Long live the Empire, long live the Emperor!" Everyone stood up and shouted. (To be continued......)
