544 Fierce Soldiers Liaoxi VII Cooperation of Rivals?
"Boom!" …… Rumble! ”…… Rumble! With a gloomy face, Jiro Tamon looked at a group of planes painted with blue sky and white sun markings in a formation of dive bombing, one after another swooping down, dropping bombs on the Japanese artillery positions!
Dozens of planes were still strangling together in the sky, and Japanese planes painted with the Rising Sun logo were hiding from the Chinese planes.
"Eight squares." Duomen Erlang scolded fiercely in his heart, he couldn't figure out how these Kuomintang planes suddenly flew out of the Huludao fortress and easily seized air supremacy all of a sudden! Viewed through the binoculars, these aircraft are the famous F-1 and A-1. The Empire's Type 92 fighters obviously surpassed F-"Why can't they beat them?"
What Tamen didn't see was that the F1 and A1 aircraft were equipped with the latest Bmw-129B engines with 660 horsepower. The Type 92 fighter is equipped with a 450-horsepower Bmw-6 in-line engine and a 500-horsepower modified Bmw-6 engine modified by Kawasaki. The difference in power between the two was exactly 160 horsepower, and the Japanese Type 92 fighter was naturally pressed and beaten by the Kuomintang F-1B.
As soon as the air supremacy was easy to defend, the Japanese offensive around Beipiao suddenly showed signs of sluggishness, and the powerful Japanese artillery could only pinch the stopwatch and shoot a few shots, and then immediately move to concealment. The artillery of the Central G began to exert its might, and the Japanese army would attract overwhelming artillery bombardment without a single offensive, beating the charging officers and men to the ground. As soon as the Japanese artillery counterattacked, the muzzle flames would burst their targets, inviting a precise and somewhat unconventional dive bombardment...... Just yesterday, this would have happened only in the positions of the squadrons, and now the positions seem to be reversed.
The order was given to all units to immediately stop the offensive and wait until after dark before resuming the offensive. In addition, he sent a telegram to His Excellency General Ling, asking the air force to strengthen cover and reminding him that it was very undesirable for the 7th and 11th Divisions in Chaoyang to be left alone behind enemy lines. "Duomen Jiro knew very well how much damage the troops would suffer by storming the positions of the Eighth Route Army and the Seventeenth Route Army under the indiscriminate bombardment of the Kuomintang Air Force.
The dispatch of the Kuomintang Air Force also means that the equally powerful Kuomintang Army may also be dispatched to relieve the GCD! However, it was impossible for the 7th and 11th Divisions to be lightly dispatched to block the assault of the powerful Kuomintang heavy divisions, and it was even possible to cause the "jade shattering" of the 7th and 11th Divisions
However, there were different opinions on whether the Kuomintang Army would be dispatched to relieve the GCD from the Kwantung Army headquarters in Lushun.
"Your Excellency, with his humble knowledge of the political figures of South China, Chiang Kai-shek was a staunch anti-G, and he would never relieve the siege of the Chinese army besieged by the imperial army. Moreover, the current struggle between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in China has reached the most critical moment, and if the GC Army suffers a devastating blow in western Liaoning, the Kuomintang is very likely to win without a fight. So they were happy to see the Imperial Army destroy the main force of the O Army of China. Perhaps he would have ordered the Kuomintang army to march in the direction of Chaoyang, but they would never reach Chaoyang until the Imperial Army annihilated the GC Army in Beipiao. ..., Ryosuke Isoya, who had long studied the politics of Nanzhonggu, stood straight in the room, made an impassioned statement and asserted that Chiang Kai-shek would never really solve the difficulties of the main force of the GCD army.
General Hishikari Takashi had a gloomy face and a deep brow, and it was clear that Ryosuke Isoya's words did not relieve his worries about the Kuomintang army. Ishihara's face was very calm, and he couldn't see joy or anger, the chief of staff, Miyake Koji, was worried, and the faces of the other officers were also somewhat worried.
"But now the Kuomintang air force has been dispatched, and according to the information just obtained, Mao Mao, the president of the Beijing government in China, has come to the front line to supervise the battle, and there are two entire Route Army O Army and an unknown number of Jin Army are reinforcing Liaoxi. In addition, there are also rumors that the Kuomintang army is also increasing its troops through the port of Huludao! Even the armored division of the cross has been transferred to Huludao. Their Kuomintang tank is the latest one, which was jointly designed by the German Krupp company and the German company An, which should be very powerful! Empire and China in terms of land, population,
resources, even in heavy industry......" Mitsuji Miyake looked melancholy, as if pouring bitter water.
Ryosuke Isoya nodded slightly, and seemed to agree with Miyake Mitsuji's opinion: "It is precisely because the military and industrial power controlled by the Kuomintang has surpassed that of the empire, so they will be even more happy to see us eliminate the main force of the GCD army." Then he turned to Ryokara Takashi and bowed: "I absolutely believe that Chiang Kai-shek will not really relieve the siege of GCD, and everything he is doing now is just to perfunctory public opinion and shirk responsibility after the destruction of the main force of the GCD army." ..., Ryokari Takashi turned around and glanced at Ishihara Wan'er, who had previously invaded Manchuria, but after hearing that the Kuomintang army had gained a foothold in Huludao, he began to keep a low profile. Ryokari Takashi smiled lightly: "What does Ishihara-kun think of the current situation? Before Ishihara could speak, he first sighed: "Your Excellency the general also agrees with Isotani-kun's analysis, and the Kuomintang side of China will indeed not sincerely relieve the GCD. But...... After we have severely damaged or eliminated the main force of the GCD, will they still be able to maintain the rule of the Northern Branch? Will it collapse and be unified by the Kuomintang? If this is the case, the empire will have no chance of winning in Manchuria! Ryokari frowned deeply and was a little disappointed in his heart, but Ishihara Waner still continued: "This Manchuria incident is the last chance for the empire on the East Asian continent, if you can't grasp it well, the future empire will have to choose the direction of development again, and even the path of development!" "So is there still a chance to come to the Empire?" Concubine Kanlong asked coldly.
Ishihara nodded heavily, and said slowly: "The only chance for the empire is to prevent a unified central government from appearing in China, if China is reunified, not only will Manchuria not be able to take it, but even the Taiwan that the empire seized from China decades ago will not be guaranteed!" Therefore, the empire must not allow the Kuomintang to unify China! The empire should unite with the Chinese GCD against the Kuomintang after inflicting heavy losses on the Chinese GCD, only in this way can the empire gradually gain a foothold in Manchuria and finally split it from China! ""United China GCD! Is this possible? Ryokari stared at Ishihara with wide eyes, his face full of disbelief.
"Your Excellency, this is entirely possible!" Ishihara solemnly: "The key to this lies in our Kwantung Army's mastery and control of the situation on the battlefield in western Liao...... Mao ZD and Chiang Kai-shek! Well, it's the best people in China and the worst villains in China! After a big quarrel on the night of December 10, the two finally looked at the face of the late great leader Sun Yat-sen, "Brother and sister are good"! They shook hands and hugged each other, and shouted long live each other...... It seems to be genuine.
However, the reconciliation between the good and the bad is not the end of the story, but the beginning, or the beginning of a nightmare! At least for Zhang Xueliang, Guo Songling, Li Jishen, and Fu Zuoyi, the next period of time will definitely be a nightmare day that will be unforgettable for a lifetime.
Because after Mao ZD and Chiang Kai-shek drank and talked happily, they agreed to supervise the war together! Oh, my God!
The two of them come together to supervise the other people's wars! And to be supervised by the two of them at the same time are the "commander-in-chief" General Zhang Xueliang, as well as the two "deputy commanders-in-chief" Li Jishen and Fu Zuoyi, as well as the chief of staff Guo Songling.
The first trouble faced by the four unfortunate men was that there were too many soldiers. Luo Yaoguo and An Sihua's fighting skills are still excellent, and the battle plan that they came up with at the first time is completely feasible.
A Kuomintang integrated division plus the Fifth Route Army of the Northeast Army, a total of 75,000 people, can definitely beat the two Japanese divisions in Chaoyang...... However, Lao Jiang changed the plan to add a Jin army division and two tank battalions, so that there would be a little more people, and the road was a little crowded, but it was not too congested. And Mao ZD, out of his special feelings for the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, suddenly pulled over two more 100,000 road troops! At about the same time, Yan Laoxi, who was coerced by the Kuomintang and had no choice, shed tears and sent the first division of the Jin army to help in the battle. In this way, the total number of troops used to break the siege is actually as high as more than 200,000! There were three or four hundred cannons, more than 100 tanks, and hundreds of cars. And there are only two narrow roads that can be passed! And these two roads converge into a road under a mountain called Beitun under a mountain called Daling Mountain.
As a result, more than 200,000 troops, except for the Fourth Route Army, which was lightly armed, were blocked here. Tanks, trucks, armored vehicles, horse-drawn carriages, artillery trucks, and wheelbarrows pushed by former migrant workers mobilized by the GCD Liaoning West Military Region filled the entire road, and no one could move.
With a snap, Mao ZD threw the report on the traffic jam sent from the front line in front of Zhang Xueliang, the commander-in-chief, with an extremely gloomy face: "What's the matter!" How can an army of hundreds of thousands walk slower than a snail! And why is the heavy artillery regiment not yet in place? Aren't they going to give priority to the heavy artillery regiments? Without heavy artillery, how can the Fourth Route Army fight Chaoyang? Chiang Kai-shek looked at the report on the table and smiled: "President Mao, this is a normal phenomenon, I didn't remind you last night, don't rush to transfer the heavy artillery regiment up." The march of more than 100,000 troops cannot be arbitrarily disrupted now, the convoy of the heavy artillery regiment and the convoy of tanks are blocked together, blocking the road...... Another day was wasted. "But those tanks can't find a way to get out of the way?" Mao ZD was very annoyed that the Fourth Route Army was completely lightly armed and did not carry any heavy weapons, while the Japanese army occupying Chaoyang at least had mountain artillery. If a heavy artillery regiment can be sent up to help in the battle, it should be able to capture Chaoyang in the shortest possible time and drive back the Japanese army there. But now, for such a ridiculous reason as traffic jams, everything has come to naught.
"President, the heavy artillery regiment can't get over for the time being, or ...... Just the help of the Kuomintang's air force? Let them use planes to bomb the Japanese army in Chaoyang, okay? ..., Zhang Xueliang looked at Chiang Kai-shek with a pleading expression.
When Mao ZD heard this, he also looked at Chiang Kai-shek with some expectation. Chiang Kai-shek unhurriedly picked up the teacup and drank it. Tea, thought for a while, and then slowly replied: "Well, I'll call Luo Fuwen, he understands the Air Force, ask him ......" A trace of gloom flashed in Mao Zd's eyes, and he waved his hand: "Chairman Jiang, now it's like fighting fire!" I don't have time to ask this or that, so hurry up and give orders to your air force! Our Fourth Route Army will be ready to attack by eight o'clock tomorrow morning at the latest. A hint of mockery appeared on the corner of Chiang Kai-shek's mouth, and he nodded lightly and agreed. Mao ZD sighed lightly, and looked at Zhang Xueliang again: "General Hanqing, the traffic must be straightened out as soon as possible, and the heavy artillery regiment must be transferred up early tomorrow morning, do you know?" In addition, the Fifth Route Army of the Northeast Army was also to transfer at least one division to the Chaoyang Front with light equipment and rapid march, and it was placed under the command of General Li Jishen. ”
At this moment, in the southwest of Chaoyang County, all the officers of the Fourth Route Army above the regimental level are sitting in the lobby of the Huaishudong Temple, and the first one on the seat is the former enemy's deputy general Fei Fei Li Jishen, and he is fully responsible for commanding the campaign against Chaoyang County this time.
Liu Bcheng, who was very familiar with the situation of the former enemy, stood in front of the large military map that had just been hung up, holding a whip in his hand and introducing the enemy situation in front of him.
"The enemy we faced was about two divisions, with a total strength of 50,000 men, but all of them were lightly armed, and they did not carry heavy artillery, but it was estimated that there were only millimeter mountain guns, and the shells were very limited. About one brigade was deployed in the mountains southwest of Chaoyang to block the front of our army, and the other brigade was deployed southeast of Chaoyang, which also blocked another road. Both brigades took a defensive posture against our troops. Xu Xqian, commander-in-chief of the Fourth Route Army, spoke next, and he said: "The task assigned to us by the Central Revolutionary Military Commission and the General Front Committee of the Fourth Route Army is to break through the enemy in front of us, seize Chaoyang County, and open the road to Beipiao. According to the enemy situation in front of the enemy, the headquarters of the Fourth Route Army decided to divide the troops into three routes, two of which feinted to attack the enemy in the southeast and southwest of Chaoyangcheng County, and the other was responsible for breaking through the West Dabai Mountain and penetrating directly to the west of the county seat, striving to seize Chaoyang County by surprise. "In order to complete the glorious mission entrusted to us by the party, the headquarters and party committee of the Fourth Route Army drew up an operational plan, and reported it to the Central Revolutionary Military Commission and the General Front Committee of Western Liaoning Province for approval by Mao Zd himself, and the tasks of each ministry are now announced as follows" Xu Xqian's tone was calm, but with a hint of excitement: "The 10th Division Chen G is responsible for capturing Xidabai Mountain, and then crossing Xidabai Mountain with the main force, crossing the Daling River to capture Xiadian and Reclining Buddha Temple in the west of Chaoyang County, and finally waiting for an opportunity to raid and seize Chaoyang County. "Chen G was formerly the chief of staff of the Fourth Route Army, and he has just been transferred to the commander of the 10th Division. This division is the main division of the Fourth Route Army, and it is first-class in the Chinese Army in terms of equipment and training. This attack on the terrain of the dangerous West Dabai Mountain, straight into the southwest of Chaoyang County, the task of raiding and seizing Chaoyang County should be undertaken by this main force.
"The Eleventh Division, Xu Zhen East." Xu Weidong rose up in response, Xu Bri raised his eyes and glanced at the tiger general, and then continued to announce the order: "The main department is to attack the Japanese positions on the first line of Dongshan, Daxigou and Mutougou. After succeeding, it pressed from the south to Chaoyang County to attract reinforcements from the main Japanese army......"The task of the 12th Division is to attack from the Yangshugou and Dujiagou lines, capture Pingfangdian and Shangyingzi, and exert pressure on the southwest line of the Japanese army to attract reinforcements from the main Japanese army.
After Xu Xqian finished deploying the combat mission, he put the battle plan in his hand in front of Li Jishen, who looked at the commanders of the divisions and brigades at the venue, but his heart was gloomy. In the battle that begins early tomorrow morning, he will use a force comparable to the Japanese army to seize Chaoyang County, which is tightly guarded by the Japanese army, and open the retreat of the Eighth Route Army and the Seventeenth Route Army! And the only one who could provide him with fire support was actually the air force of the Kuomintang right! Who knows if they will release GCD pigeons?
However, at this moment, Li Jishen couldn't express the hidden worries in his heart, he still looked confident, stood up and nodded at a room of officers, and said loudly: "Comrades, tomorrow the Kuomintang Air Force will send planes to support us!" General Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army also has a heavy artillery regiment that will arrive, and the Fifth Route Army of the Northeast Army also has a section that can be felt. Therefore, we will definitely win this battle tomorrow! Tomorrow's campaign will start at 8 o'clock in the morning, and we have more than half a day to arrange, and I hope that after the battle begins, the rising sun will be laid within 48 o'clock, and the back road will be opened for the Eighth Route Army and the Seventeenth Route Army! "Yes!" There was a roar of thunder in the lobby.
After the generals left, Li Jishen slowly walked to the door, looked at the silver-white mountains, took a long deep breath, closed his eyes, and seemed to be praying to the mountains, so that there would be no accidents in tomorrow's battle, especially the two gods who were sitting in charge of the battle, and they didn't give any strange orders.
On this day, the Fourth Route Army was sharpening its knives, preparing for the next day's bitter battle, with hundreds of thousands of coalition troops of various Chinese factions slowly crawling on the winding mountain road, and in Beipiao, the besieged GCD
The Eighth and Seventeenth Route Armies were uncomfortable for a day. Under the indiscriminate bombardment of the Sixty Plus A-1B light dive bombers of the Kuomintang Air Force, the Japanese army was unable to organize a decent offensive, and even the encircled GCD Army took the opportunity to launch a counteroffensive, recapturing some of the key points lost in the previous battles and consolidating the defensive positions of the entire Beipiao. However, they could not have imagined that by the next day, the blue sky would belong to the Japanese Army Aviation again...... Because the Kuomintang Air Force was transferred to Chaoyang to bomb two Japanese divisions that did not carry much artillery at all
