Chapter 137 The Yan and Yellow Army Enters the War
Honjo Shigeru immediately sent the newly added 10th Division, the commander of the 10th Division was called Kenkawa Miji, originally said that the headquarters was to let him be ordered to dissuade the Kwantung Army from launching an incident, but I didn't expect this guy to deliberately notify Itagaki Seishiro and Ishihara Waner to launch an incident in advance, in this way, the 918 Incident was born, and this guy can be said to be a great careerist.
After the incident was launched, this guy deliberately stayed again, wanting to observe the development of things for a while, and now it happened that the attack of the second division was blocked, so he immediately asked for an order, transferred the tenth division to the northeast, and asked Honjo to fight.
After a little rest in Liaoning, the 10th Division boarded the train bound for Jilin, and a train full of troops galloped from the South Manchurian Railway to the 2nd Division, without stopping when passing through Changchun (called Xinjing after the establishment of Manchuria).
The arrival of the 10th Division had already reached Duomen Erlang and Ma Zhanshan, and Ma Zhanshan immediately felt an unprecedented pressure, although the two divisions of the army together did not have as many defenders, but after all, the troops were more elite and the equipment was much better, even if they could hold on to strong fortifications for a while, it was still not a long-term solution.
The crisis of the Jiaojiang Bridge was also known to the outside world, and many patriots were also full of worries, and large-scale demonstrations were held in many parts of the country to ask for support from the Yan and Huang Army.
In Daqing, where the Yan and Huang soldiers stayed, citizens, students, workers, and so on held all kinds of banners and shouted all kinds of slogans, and surrounded the streets one by one.
"The Yanhuang Army is known as Yanhuang, and if you don't resist, you are not a descendant of Yanhuang."
"To defeat imperialism, the Chinese must be united."
"In the name of Yanhuang, the Yanhuang army will do the things of Yanhuang."
…… Regarding these things in the outside world, Wei Chendong seemed to have heard of them, and still ignored them, and did not explain anything. Some patriots scolded Wei Chen for the annihilation of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and some patriotic groups even began to plan an extermination operation, although it was unsuccessful, but it aroused the unanimous voice of the patriots in China.
The Chinese are making a fuss, but Yu himself is very happy in his heart, after all, the Yan and Huang army has more than 200,000 people, even if each person takes a burning stick, it will be difficult for them to do, now it is good, Wei Chendong does not want to be an enemy of Yu himself at all, then everything is saved.
As soon as the 10th Division arrived, it immediately began to organize an attack, and for the sake of a small Nenjiang bridge, the Yue army invested so many troops was already very face-saving for the Chinese, so the Yue army wanted to take this place in one fell swoop, without giving the northeast army the slightest resistance.
At the end of November, more than 50 formations composed of fighters and bombers took off from Changchun, aiming directly at the defensive position of the Northeast Army at the Nenjiang Bridge; at the same time, more than 30 Type 89 combat vehicles were ready to go, and after the planes had been bombed and the artillery fire was prepared, they would act as the vanguard of the offensive and ruthlessly tear open the defensive position of the Northeast Army.
The sound of "buzzing ......" cast an oppressive atmosphere over the sky. More than fifty warplanes swooped down like falcons aiming for chickens underground.
"Boom......" bombshells were dropped like raindrops.
"Boom ......" saw the Northeast Army positions below bloom, and the pilot's face was full of excitement.
"Zhina, let you see the power of the Great Air Force."
With a roar of extreme insolence, the planes carried out their bombing without fear in the air.
The defenders tried to shrink their bodies into the trenches to reduce the casualties caused by the bombardment, and from time to time some soldiers were buried in a large amount of dust, but they did not dare to climb out casually, which would only attract blows.
Jianchuan Miji's position is higher, and he also has a lot of credit for the 918 incident, plus Tamonjiro's attack did not go well, so Honjo Shigeru let Jianchuan Miji serve as the commander-in-chief of this attack, and the two looked in the direction of the Northeast Army's position with a sneer.
"It has been fifteen minutes since the army bombed, and according to the calculations, there is not much ammunition left for them," Ma Zhanshan calculated carefully, but his face was not impatient with the blow, but had a feeling that the conspiracy had succeeded.
"Okay, that's the time, send a message", as soon as he slapped the table, a cold light shot out of Ma Zhanshan's eyes.
In a secret building somewhere in Qiqihar, a transmitter ticked non-stop, and the receiver listened carefully, and his fingers quickly wrote down the content of the information. After a while, he took off his headphones, knowing that the information was urgent, he didn't dare to delay at all, and immediately handed the information to the middle-aged man who was waiting anxiously on his side, and the middle-aged man took the telegram and looked at it, relieved.
"Codenamed Operation Yellow Sparrow, Immediate Execution".
Almost at the same time, at a certain airport in Qiqihar, more than 70 battle formations composed of Boeing 15 and Boeing 38 were already ready to go. The commander on the runway kept waving the flags in his hands, directing the fighters to take off.
"Buzz ......" planes flew through the air quickly, accompanied by a huge aura of slaughter.
The more than 50 planes of the Japanese army were still in the air to show their anger, and the defenders on the ground had no way to deal with them, and they relied on machine gun fire from time to time.
The bombing of the "return ......" was complete, and Nobukazu Kimura, the commander of the air group, gave the order to return to the country with satisfaction. Suddenly, he stared at the sky in the distance in disbelief, only to see black dots rapidly enlarge in his pupils, turning into something like a roc.
"American fighters".
Kimura Nobukazu's heart sank, and a bad feeling arose in the bottom of his heart.
"Retreat".
While giving the order to retreat, he reported the situation on his side to the headquarters and the headquarters below.
Suddenly, more than 50 fighters immediately pounced on the plane, and with the strength of the plane, it had the strength to fight a battle, but now that the ammunition has been used up, what else is it used to fight, what is the difference between it and a passenger plane?
One came prepared, the other retreated in a panic, and the US plane itself was going to be faster than this plane, and it didn't take long for each fighter plane flying towards the plane to find its own opponent and carry out a frantic pursuit.
"Da ......" reached a certain distance, and the Boeing fighter jet did not hesitate to spit out its anger.
"Buzz ......" one after another sang a piercing sound of shattering, and fell from the sky one after another with fire and smoke.
Seeing this scene, Jianchuan Miji and Duomen Jiro were dumbfounded, and a name came to their minds, Yan Huangjun, because in Heilongjiang, only Yan Huangjun has American aircraft. But before they could recover from the shock, a rumbling explosion sounded over the Japanese position.
"Report, enemy aircraft raided our artillery positions".
"It's over", when I heard the report, the two big names in the army were pulling out the cold in their hearts, and the artillery of the army was swinging away, isn't this a live target? Moreover, the enemy's air power was not thought of at all, so the army did not have any anti-aircraft weapons at all, and it was almost impossible for these artillery to withdraw. Moreover, there were no trenches here, and the artillerymen had nowhere to hide, so they had to throw down the cannons, lie on the ground, and resign themselves to fate.
The chariot units on the other side did not escape this fate, and the frame that was originally set up to facilitate the attack became a target for bombing by airplanes. Combat vehicles are not like bulky cannons, they can operate flexibly, in order to avoid bombing, dozens of combat vehicles are jumping around, and there are even funny incidents of two combat vehicles colliding, and the combat vehicles of this period, almost all of them are light, the armor is very thin, and they can't withstand the bombardment of this kind of bombshell at all, if it hits directly, a shell is enough to penetrate its pitiful defenses.
Not far from the "buzzing ......," another plane did not escape the pursuit, but was hit and caught fire, singing the sound of the last funeral song, like a kite with a broken string, falling from the sky.
"Haha...... It was our fighter plane that killed him."
"Long live the Air Force".
"Long live the brothers of the Yan and Huang Army".
…… The soldiers of the Northeast Army raised their heads from the trenches one after another, roaring excitedly, as if they were fighting, looking at the big chase in the air with interest, as if forgetting that this was a battlefield of life and death, the situation of the army was completely reversed from the previous encounter of the Northeast Army, and now they had no power to fight back.
If it weren't for the fact that the command headquarters of the Yue army was well hidden, I am afraid that it would have been bombed, but the house leak happened to rain overnight, and an urgent telegram was transmitted to Jianchuan Miji, saying that a large number of Zhong [***] teams had been found at a distance of thirty or forty kilometers from the position of the Yue army, and judging by their dress, it should be the Yan and Huang Army, and there were at least two armies, 50,000 or 60,000 people, and at present, the Northeast Army was forming a flanking attack on the Yue army.
The telegram "...... uproar" immediately caused an uproar.
"Baga, damn Wei Chendong, he's just a hypocritical mongrel, isn't he in Daqing? Why did you suddenly come here", Jianchuan Meiji roared angrily, originally thought it was an opportunity to make a contribution, but I didn't expect it to be a big trap, this Yan Huang Army was obviously premeditated, judging from this calculation, it should have been in collusion with the Northeast Army, otherwise, it would be impossible to have such a well-connected attack, completely seizing the loopholes and carelessness of the army, which led to such an unfavorable situation today.
At the headquarters of the Northeast Army, Ma Zhanshan held the microphone in one hand and listened carefully, smiling at the same time, obviously encountering something happy.
"Thank you to the brothers of the Yan and Huang Army, I will immediately organize artillery to suppress the Yue Army."
"Inform the artillery that the northeast direction will be attacked at an angle of 30 degrees", put down the microphone, Ma Zhanshan immediately told the artillery the firing direction notified by the Yan and Huang Army just now, and the Yan and Huang Army planes in the air were the eyes of the artillery of the Northeast Army.
"Haha...... It's so happy, it's so happy, I've never fought such a happy battle. Wei Chendong, Wei Chendong, you kid is really cunning enough", Ma Zhanshan slapped the table happily, although he said that Wei Chendong was cunning, but he was very excited in his heart, after all, Wei Chendong's cunning was used on himself, isn't the more cunning the better?
The end of the army is inseparable from Wei Chendong's calculations and conspiracy, and the good show is still to come.
The air force of the Yan and Huang Army pursued and killed hundreds of miles at the farthest, and chased the military planes to the point that there was no way to go to the sky and no way to go down, and in the end, there were few planes that were lucky enough to escape, and more than 50 planes were almost lost, including artillery and tank units, and almost all the troops were wiped out.
On the other side, from Daqing to the rear of the Yue army, there were more than five divisions of the Yan and Huang Army, more than 50,000 people, equipped with more than 30 chariots and more than 50 cannons, and they quickly pressed on the Yue army to cut off its retreat and form a flanking attack with the Northeast Army against the Yue army.
A section of the railway from Changchun to Qiqihar had been blown up, and the Yan and Huang troops had already controlled dozens of miles of the railway from Baicheng to Qiqihar, and it was impossible for the army to escape from the railway line. In this way, the Northeast Army and the Yanhuang Army, totaling more than 100,000 people, had formed an arc-shaped encirclement posture of more than 40,000 people of the 2nd Division of Domen Jiro and the 10th Division of Jianchuan Miji, and these two divisions were almost wiped out by heavily equipped troops.
Naturally, the encounter of the army was quickly transmitted to the headquarters of the Kwantung Army, and Honjo Shigeru directly crumpled the telegram in his hand into a group, scolded loudly, and threw it far away.
"Wei Chendong has to pay for this."
When things happened suddenly, the Kwantung Army Headquarters had to be redeployed, and new transfers began to be carried out nervously, and they also knew that if the action was slow, the two divisions would be miserable, and the majesty of the Imperial Army would be severely challenged.
Arriving at the West Nest area, Wei Chendong made a public appearance and held a press conference.
At the reception, Wei Chendong roared indignantly: "I don't talk about morality, I once said that as long as I don't take the initiative to attack the Yan Huang Army and don't kill and injure my brother, the Yan Huang Army will not be the enemy of the Yan Huang Army, but now, my life and death brother General Ma Zhanshan Ma almost died in the hands of the Kwantung Army, people have no faith and do not stand, I Wei Chendong don't want to be said that I don't talk about brotherhood, let alone be said to be untrustworthy, Yan Huangjun can't afford to lose this face, since I am unkind first, then don't blame Yan Huangjun for being unjust, Therefore, the dispatch of troops by the Yan and Huang Army this time was completely caused by his own lack of faith."
Wei Chendong said that Ma Zhanshan almost died at the hands of Yue himself, and everyone had heard about it, and it came from the Northeast Army that General Ma was injured by Yue Ben's plane when he was supervising the battle on the front line, and he almost died. As for Wei Chendong will talk about this matter, it is really beyond everyone's expectations, and everyone is not stupid, this Wei Chendong is just looking for a reasonable excuse to send troops, what "If I don't take the initiative to attack Yan Huangjun and don't kill and injure his brother Wei Chendong, Yan Huangjun won't be the enemy of Yue himself", it turns out that there is such an esoteric word game hidden in this, when ordinary people read this sentence, they will naturally think in their hearts that that brother refers to the soldiers of the Yan Huang Army, but I didn't expect that this Wei Chendong passed this, There is a person hidden in it, a key person, Ma Zhanshan, Ma Zhanshan and Wei Chendong's sworn knots, as long as they are not too closed people, they all know.
Everyone now finally understands that this Wei Chendong and Ma Zhanshan may have been premeditated, the two of them played a good show, I don't know how many people have been deceived, especially I have been fooled the most, at the same time, people have to admire this Wei Chendong's scheming and courage, this can be described as a real burden of humiliation, not only was scolded by many patriots for the eighteenth generation of ancestors, but also was assassinated many times, this kind of perseverance, courage and dedication made many people who misunderstood Wei Chendong feel ashamed.
Wei Chendong's move naturally spread to the Kwantung Army Headquarters, and Honjo Fan didn't expect that this guy would get cheap and sell well, and splash dirty water on the head of the Kwantung Army, but then again, they said that the 918 incident they created was not this surname, and no one was qualified to say whom, after all, before doing a major thing, there was an excuse, and if there was no excuse, it had to make an excuse. Whether it is in the name of the emperor in ancient times, or the modern 918 Incident, the 77 Incident, and the Iraq War in the 21st century, etc., although the attacking side has an absolute advantage, they will still find an excuse before they choose to attack, even if this excuse is so rotten that it doesn't matter, this is the so-called division is famous, no excuse will only be regarded as a reckless man by others, and even bring a lot of unfavorable factors, now in everyone's opinion, it is doubtful whether this Ma Zhanshan is injured or not, After all, this is a unilateral message from the Northeast Army.
Now Wei Chendong is becoming more and more slippery, and he has also played politics with those politicians in the 21st century, Wei Chendong used to be a little disdainful of these things, thinking that as long as he has enough strength, he is afraid that the problem will not be solved? Later, I learned from those old politicians that politicians play art, and really powerful politicians, every word they say has all kinds of meanings, it may be a murderous machine, it may be a warning, it may be a conspiracy, etc., if you are not careful, he may kill you.
To put it so mysteriously, Wei Chendong also began to focus on politics, he also knew that a powerful force was inseparable from political support, so he had to understand something, through learning and the guidance of those politicians in the 21st century, Wei Chendong also played a political game for the first time.
When the deployment of the Yanhuang Army was complete, the time had entered the beginning of December, paying attention to the movements of the Kwantung Army Headquarters, carefully calculating the time, Wei Chendong and Ma Zhanshan and the staff officers of the two armies made major deployments.
At dawn on December 6, the sky was just dawning. A trembling sound of the earth "rumbling" sounded in the west shack position, a team of soldiers were ready to go, the majestic soldiers lined up in a row, the soldiers were dressed in green military uniforms, wearing the Yanhuang military standard green steel helmets, holding the American M1903 Springfield rifle or the German Mauser rifle, the chest magazine was full of bullets, and the back was carrying a bright and dangling broadsword.
The Yan and Huang armies were either divisions or regiments, and they advanced rapidly according to their respective routes.
7 o'clock sharp. "Boom ......" Suddenly, an earth-shattering explosion came from the military position.
"Ah......" screams suddenly swept through the positions of the army.
"Enemy artillery fire, hidden," the commander of the army roared desperately.
"Release, release, release ......" Yanhuang Army artillery position, dozens of 75 mm cannons in an orderly manner spewed out their anger, the muzzle of the fire flashed, a deadly bomb was sent out, after the artillery was fired, an artillery immediately opened the ammunition filling magazine, another artillery quickly handed over the shells, shouted a slogan and let go, another artillery immediately took the shells and filled them into the gun chamber, closed the warehouse door.
"Release", the commander immediately shouted, and the first artillery immediately pulled the rope violently.
"Boom", the shell was fired, and then several artillerymen continued to divide labor and cooperate in the front firing process.
The Yan and Huang troops were also very extravagant, and they prepared for artillery fire for half an hour.
After the artillery fire was prepared. "Offense". The command gave the order to attack.
