598 Situation
"Bastard, look at the sky all day long, open your eyes and look at the brothers below, compare with them, you are not a fart, now, kill the little devil's plane, let the little devil know, what is evil and evil retribution, blood debt and blood repayment!" When the squadron leader of the Sky Flying Team saw the tragic and shocking scene on the ground, he roared in a hoarse voice. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Blood debt and blood payment!"
"Your Excellency Ohara, perhaps we have provoked an army that should not be provoked the most!" The staff officer couldn't help but murmur as he looked at the amazing scene in front of him.
Ohara also silently looked at the amazing scene in front of him, and his heart was shocked by the actions of the Northwest Army. Such an army, such an army that looks at death as home, an army that enjoys the full support of the people, what else can defeat them? Ohara had a bad feeling in his heart, if these enemies had been able to unite like this, maybe they would not have come to this battlefield at all.
At the beginning, the base camp said that the Republic of China could be solved in three months, but now four years have passed, not only has the Northwest Army not weakened, but has become stronger. Seeing the scene in front of him again, even a fanatical militarist like Ohara couldn't help but feel that there was such an army leading these people, and there was no possibility of being conquered at all.
"Kids, some of them are just kids!"
Among the civilians escorted by the Japanese army, a half-centenarian man in his fifties who looked like he was just a stout man, looked at the amazing scene in front of him, and his gray beard on the side of his mouth couldn't help but tremble.
"Soldiers of the Northwest Army, you still have to kill more devils, let more people live, fire, fire!" At this time, in the crowd of the people, someone shouted.
"Officers of the Northwest Army, fire!" The chaotic voices of the tearful people gradually converged.
"Folks, the Northwest Army is good, we can't watch them die for us like this, everyone flees, life and death have their own destiny, even if they unfortunately die, the Northwest Army will avenge us, escape!" The old man roared with a trembling voice.
The common people of the Republic of China were easily moved, and when these people who were usually oppressed and used to it saw this scene in front of them, their hearts were touched, and under the reminder of the old man, a large number of people scattered and fled, giving up the Japanese positions in the rear. At this moment, human nature, after all, has overcome the threat of death.
Da Da ..........
The Japanese machine guns swept towards these people in horror at this time, and they never thought that these people of the Republic of China, who were usually cowardly in their eyes, would have the courage to face death at this time.
"Send a report directly to the division and regiment headquarters, the jade of the brigade is about to be shattered, but I have to remind the division and regiment headquarters that the people of the branch are awakening, and the base camp needs to face this opponent again." A hint of determination flashed on Ohara's face, without these people as cover, and the reinforcements had not arrived for a long time, Ohara had already been able to see the end of his army.
"Fire!" Seeing the people scattering and fleeing, and the Japanese machine guns at this time swept away like crazy, Gao Lingyun gave an order with convulsions in his heart.
Xiuxiu......
The shells of the heavy artillery group once again broke through the air and landed on the rear positions of the Japanese army, and the tank group drivers who received the order to attack also angrily aimed their tank guns at the brigade in front of them. The scattered people deliberately gave way to the front and fled to both sides, leaving only scattered corpses of the people in the middle. The Japanese machine guns mercilessly swept and killed the people, even if there were accidental injuries, at this time they could no longer let the Japanese attack go.
Rumble!
A tank gun directly smashed the Japanese soldiers in the machine gun trench, along with their weapons, into slag.
"Revenge, revenge, kill!"
The Northwest Army, which had been suppressed for too long, howled.
Dozens of tanks were arrows, followed by a large number of Northwest Army, like a sharp blade, penetrating into the Japanese defense line.
.................
"It's not that you don't report it, the time has not come, these Japanese are too inhumane!" Mr. Zhou took the telegram sent by the 2nd Armored Brigade and the photos taken by the war correspondent on the table, and after a while, he still had no breath.
"When one day, the flames of war reach the homeland of the Japanese, and when these Japanese soldiers are destroyed, they will know about the suffering and trauma suffered by the Republic of China. However, adversity sees the truth, and the Propaganda Department must increase propaganda efforts, and this time it is a very good subject, and the army is single-minded. Jiang Li sighed and said.
"Yes, this type of movie must be made as soon as possible, and the flames of war will be burned to the Japanese mainland? I don't know what year it will be. Mr. Zhou shook his head and said.
"Not long after, Xiong Dazhen's side has made great progress in the past few months, our hidden dragon performance has stabilized, some frequent mechanical failures have been gradually eliminated, and the hidden dragon will soon soar into the sky. When the time comes, as soon as the hidden dragon comes out, I will see what the Japanese army will do to block the counterattack of the Northwest Army. Having lost air supremacy, the Japanese army was just a group of more powerful infantry, and no matter how powerful the infantry was, it could not hold up the tank cluster in the northwest. Jiang Li shook his head and said.
"What? Has the dragon stabilized? When will mass production take place? How did I not know? Mr. Zhou asked in surprise.
"I just got the news. The aircraft factory has opened a special production line for Qianlong, and the secrecy level is the highest level. Now it produces 3 aircraft a month, and it will not take two or three months to form a flying squadron. I've already made a report to the leader, and with the Dragon's service, the original battle plan has been a bit conservative. This year, I intend to make the movement a little bigger, and now I can further increase the scale of the army expansion, and although the new recruits are not able to fight a war, it is still enough to help manage the order in the rear, and the area controlled by our party will be rapidly expanded in the future. ”
"You are good at military affairs, by the way, this time I made a special trip to Luoyang, there is something I have to discuss with you, the Soviet Union invited the leader to Moscow, although the leader did not directly express his position, but the Soviets mentioned it a few times, what do you think of this matter?" Mr. Zhou asked.
"The Soviet Union is now unable to protect itself, so naturally it remembers that we are coming, according to me, just ignore it, and the Northwest Army is going north, and in the future on the issue of Outer Mongolia, it is very likely to have a stalemate with the Soviet Union, and now to help the other side is tantamount to asking for trouble, but the British and American sides have repeatedly urged that they can send a force to Yunnan for training for a period of time, one is to lay the foundation for future operations in the south, and the other is to further spread the influence of the northwest to the southwest, and Chairman Chiang cannot be allowed to concentrate on the United States. During the period of unification of the country, the latest weapons and equipment of the Republic of China were expanded, and only then did they have the confidence to mix into the game of the great powers. Jiang Li said. It is still a long time before reunification. ”
"Okay, I'll go back and talk to the leader again. In addition, let's take a look at the improved hidden dragon, to what extent. Mr. Zhou nodded and smiled, and quickly put his troubles behind him. Although I had a high view of the aviation in the Northwest, I didn't think that I could go to the forefront of this era. However, judging from the current situation, even if it is a major war in Europe, it is still the world of propeller aircraft, and Japan's lower monoplane is only newly commissioned, and at this time, the Northwest has already stepped into a jet dynasty. Although the amount of equipment is not large, the technological leadership and the emergence of new aircraft are enough to greatly shorten the time of the Anti-Japanese War, and Mr. Zhou has never felt that victory is so close to the northwest.
At the same time that the aircraft factory in the rear worked overtime to manufacture fighters, the Tenglong fighter also played an excellent combat performance in air combat, even if the northwest made every effort to produce the dragon, but the production base of this new jet aircraft was too weak, and the performance was repeatedly improved, and the increased output was not high, relatively speaking, the flying dragon and the dragon were still the main combat forces in the northwest.
Soon, the northwest passed the requirements of Britain and the United States, and sent a formation of 3 infantry divisions, an independent heavy artillery regiment, a tank battalion composed mainly of Avengers, and the independent 15th Army mixed into Yunnan entered Yunnan. The Japanese army successfully took control of the railway station and cut off the Yunnan-Burma railway and road. To this end, the United States, China and the United Kingdom once again opened up the Hump route to transport supplies and personnel.
The independent 15th Army led by Yang Yaofeng did not enter the command area according to the orders of the United States, but stopped in the rainforest on the Yunnan-Burma border and continued to exercise. Despite repeated requests from Britain and the United States, the 15th Army did not obey the arrangements of Britain and the United States like the National * Army. The Northwest did not have the habit of currying favor with foreigners with the lives of soldiers, and during this time, the Japanese army was able to wreak havoc on the entire Southeast Asia, and occupied most of the important areas with lightning speed, but the Japanese army at this time was quite scattered. The appearance of the Northwest Army in Yunnan also aroused great vigilance among the Japanese army.
In Chongqing, two U-shaped submarines and a shallow water gunboat of more than 900 tons were built one after another, and they began to test the water to build warships. Sun Liren commanded the main force of the 13th Army, and at the same time used an independent heavy artillery regiment and a tank battalion to attack Linying, he also transferred a motorized infantry regiment, a tank battalion, and a mixed team composed of 30 combat vehicles to detour Wadian and intercept a Japanese wing in the field, taking advantage of the superiority of aviation, under the joint attack of four or five Huamao attack planes and more than 10 Zephyr bombers, more than 70 tanks, assault guns, and more than 30 armored vehicles, directly crushed an infantry wing of the Japanese army.
After winning the battle in Wadian Town, the roundabout detachment did not stop. Instead, they directly attacked the Japanese airfield in Chenzhuang, and destroyed more than a dozen Japanese planes that were on the ground with artillery fire in one fell swoop. Then the roundabout detachment returned to the horse with a shot and cut in the middle of the Mule River and Linying County. Sun Liren directly broke up a detachment of the Japanese army with the strength of an army, and put on the momentum of annihilating the main force of the Japanese detachment, which is rare in the battlefield in North China, and so far, Sun Liren's plan has been mostly successful. At least in the absence of enough reinforcements, the total annihilation of the Hirata detachment is almost a foregone conclusion.
In the face of the assault of tens of thousands of people in the 13th Army, more than 200 tanks, assault guns, and the elite forces supplemented by nearly 100 Snow Leopard armored vehicles, the Japanese Hirata detachment, which had a strength of only six or seven thousand people, did not have much effort to parry, and was cut off from retreat. In order to completely annihilate this Japanese army, Jiang Li transferred an infantry division from the Sichuan army, as well as a cavalry division of the group army to reinforce it quickly. The main force of Yang Hucheng's 3rd Army also began to move south.
After several months of fighting, the ice and snow in Henan Province had melted, and as the temperature rose, it provided a certain routine for the Central Plains Field Corps. At this time, the strength of a group army of the Central Plains Field Corps was increased to nearly 200,000. Coupled with Sun Liren's independent 13th Army, more than 200,000 people went south along the Pinghan Road, and the Pingtian detachment was quickly submerged in hundreds of thousands of troops.
The Central Plains Field Corps' combat operations of this scale were aimed directly at Wuhan, and the launching of Chongqing's first shallow water gunboat and several troop carriers all showed that the Northwest Army had the intention of crossing the river. No matter how powerful the Combined Fleet is, it will go deep into the hinterland and receive the baptism of the Northwest Air Force in the Yangtze River, unless the Japanese naval top brass burns out their brains, and will do such a thing.
Because the Central China Front was responsible for suppressing the Chiang-based Central Army in the south, and also took out part of its forces to contain the Northwest Army in the Central Plains, but the goal of capturing Zhengzhou and joining the North China Front Army in the Central Plains was not achieved, and it encountered a large-scale counteroffensive by the Northwest Army. In particular, Yang Hucheng and Sun Liren, with more than 200,000 people and hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles, pressed over, and the Japanese army in the southern section of Henan could not withstand it at all. The burden on the head of the Central China Front suddenly became much heavier. At this time, the main forces fighting in China were all North China and Central China, and South China could not be mobilized at all, and it was responsible for supporting Southeast Asia at any time, and it was simply unable to deploy sufficient troops. Therefore, Matsui Shigen could only hit the idea on the North China Front, which had the most powerful troops.
Faced with the huge pressure faced by the Central China Front, although Tian Junliu felt that something was wrong, he thought about it repeatedly, coupled with some instructions from the base camp, and transferred two divisions to the south, joined the sequence of the Central China Front, entered the Zhumadian area, and was responsible for blocking the southward Northwest Army. In addition, the defense in the direction of eastern Henan and northern Anhui was strengthened to deal with Zhang Chujiu's counteroffensive and Zhao Tieshu's group army. The current situation is indeed not good for the North China Front. As the Japanese army moved south, the navy also consumed some ships, and a large amount of industrial rubber, grain, and oil in the South Seas had to be transported back to the Japanese mainland by ship. A Borneo oil field alone, with machinery transported over and at least a few million tons of crude oil a year, will crowd out a lot of capacity. Therefore, the need for shipbuilding outweighs all demand.
In addition, in order to cope with the threat of the United States, the navy, which once affected the shipbuilding program because of the war of aggression against China, also increased its efforts to build ships, especially aircraft carriers. Japan was producing less than six million tons of steel a year at this time, so much so that its share to the army was constantly being squeezed. And the army, including the Northeast Army, North China, Central China, South China, Southeast Asia combat units in several directions.
The shortage of steel production directly restricted the production of Japanese munitions at this time, especially in the supply of tanks, armored vehicles, and various types of artillery, which was greatly reduced. At the same time, the annual steel output in the northwest has exceeded 4 million tons in southern Sichuan, Baotou, and the supply of some small and medium-sized iron ores in the northwest, and it is still growing at a very fast rate, and the number of tanks and assault guns coming off the production line every month has exceeded 100. In the past few months, more than 100 tanks and assault guns have rolled off the production line every month, rapidly expanding the combat units on the front line. And the artillery production of the Northwest Army is also rapidly increasing. The Japanese army's relatively superior artillery advantage was also rapidly being narrowed. (To be continued.) )
