Chapter 510: Shocking News
Chapter 510 Shocking News
Tianjin Xiǎo Station, Siye Front Command.
Seven days later, the task force that had infiltrated the northeast finally got the news back, and the task force finally found out after paying a great price that the Kwantung Army had indeed built a large number of fortifications in the western Liaoning corridor and the southeast branch of Yanshan, and judging from the current progress, it would be possible to form a complete fortification chain in more than a month at most.
In addition, the Kwantung Army did build a large number of radar base stations in the deep mountains and dense forests of the southeast branch of Yanshan and in the military restricted areas of the Liaoxi Corridor, and these radar base stations were very well defended.
In the battle hall, Yue Weihan tightened his eyebrows and was standing in front of the mō sand table in contemplation.
The truth of the facts is basically the same as Yue Weihan's judgment, Okamura Ningci really just dangled a shot, and on the surface he put on a posture of large-scale attack, but in fact, he was secretly operating a group of fortress fortifications, and more seriously, Yue Weihan was completely deceived by Okamura Ningji's strategic feint, and when the two sides tried to see each other, it was too late for Yue Weihan to remedy it.
General Wei Lihuang sighed and said: "Once the fortress fortifications of the western Liaoning corridor and the southeast branch of Yanshan are completed, this battle will not be easy to fight, and the most optimistic estimate can only be a war of attrition. ”
Mr. Zuo shook his head and said: "I'm afraid, even if I fill it with 1.8 million officers and soldiers and ten or eight armored divisions, I still can't knock on the turtle shell of the Eastern Army, after all, compared with the Kwantung Army, our army is not superior in terms of strength or equipment, and the air force has a certain advantage, but due to the existence of ground radar, the Japanese air force has greatly made up for the disadvantage of the air force. ”
Huang Jie said: "The Liaoxi Corridor has made Okamura, an old devil, a turtle shell, and there are no railways and roads on the ancient plateau, so it is difficult for mechanized troops to carry out large-scale maneuvers. ”
"Changbai Mountain?" Deng Gong shook his head and said, "With Okamura Ningji's wisdom, it is impossible for him to leave us with such a big flaw, if nothing else, Changbai Mountain and even the Liaodong Peninsula are already full of fortress fortifications and radar base stations." ”
"What then?" Huang Jie frowned and said, "The western Liaoning corridor is not passable, the Méng Ancient Plateau is not good, and the Changbai Mountain is not good, do the four eastern provinces want to counterattack?" ”
"Of course it's going to be a counterattack!" Yue Weihan, who had been silent, suddenly raised his head, and after saying that, Yue Weihan looked around at the generals with burning eyes again, and said loudly, "This time, let's let Okamura Ningji, the old devil, put it in a position, and it is not a loss, but it is not impossible to smash the turtle shell that the old devil has painstakingly managed." ”
The generals' eyes suddenly gathered on Yue Weihan's body.
Yue Weihan took the command rod from Zuo Zong's hand, drew a large circle on the sand table, and said loudly: "We might as well consider the problem from the standpoint of the Kwantung Army through reverse thinking, what is the reason why Okamura Ningshan has to take great pains to operate the fortress fortification group and radar base station chain in the Liaoxi Corridor and the Liaodong Peninsula?" ”
Huang Jie said without thinking: "Then it goes without thinking, I am afraid that the armored clusters of my four fields will launch a large-scale counteroffensive from these two directions with the coordination of the air force." ”
"That's a good point." Yue Weihan nodded, and said, "But the outer defense line in the northeast is not only the Liaoxi Corridor and the Liaodong Peninsula, but also the Liaodong Bay, the Loess Plateau, and the long border with Russia in the north. ”
"I'm afraid it's impossible." Mr. Zuo shook his head and said, "Whether it is manpower or material resources, it is impossible for the Kwantung Army to garrison heavily in these directions at the same time, and it is impossible to build fortresses and fortifications on such a long defense line, especially in Liaodong Bay, there is no need for the Kwantung Army to garrison heavily at all, because with the current strength projection capacity of our navy, it is impossible to forcibly seize the beach in Liaodong Bay, and there is no chance of winning at all!" ”
As analyzed by Mr. Zuo, the Kwantung Army did not garrison heavily in Liaodong Bay, nor did it build strong fortifications in Liaodong Bay, but only built standard-strength coastal fortifications, because the Kwantung Army and Okamura Ninji had nothing to fear, and if Siye really planned to forcibly seize the beach in Liaodong Bay, there would definitely be no return.
The reason is very simple, Liaodong Bay is right between the Liaoxi Corridor and the Liaodong Peninsula, once attacked, the mechanized clusters in the east and west directions can definitely rush to reinforcements within 24 xiǎo hours, with the current pitiful force projection capacity of the Chinese Navy, the landing force will definitely be easily swallowed by the Kwantung Army's tank sea.
"No!" Yue Weihan slammed his fist on the edge of the sand table, and said solemnly, "This time, we want to do it knowing that we can't do it, and we even landed on the beach in Liaodong Bay!" From the point of view of Sun Tzu's Art of War, this has already met the elements of surprise and unpreparedness, and as for the sea of tanks of the Kwantung Army, there are naturally armed helicopters to clean them up! ”
"Helicopter gunship?" Deng Gong was stunned and said, "Isn't it still two months before you can become an army?" ”
"Then try to drag him for two months." Yue Weihan said indifferently, "Didn't Okamura Ningji take advantage of the bad weather conditions to deceive us for more than a month?" This time, we must also set up a battle, open up a posture, and fight it with great fanfare for two months, so that all group armies can take turns to fight. ”
…………
In the blink of an eye, more than 20 days have passed, and time has quietly come to the New Year's Day of the 33rd year of the Republic of China (1944).
At this time, the situation of the anti-Japanese war in the country has undergone earth-shaking changes, following the Japanese army in Central China, the Japanese army in North China has also been basically wiped out, so far, the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, Pinghan Railway, Pingjin Railway, Longhai Railway, Yangtze River Waterway and other strategic Jiāo through lines have all been opened, and the logistics support capacity of the first has been greatly improved.
Since half a month ago, a large amount of weapons and equipment and military supplies from Burma have been continuously imported into Yunnan and Guizhou along the Yunnan-Burma Highway, and then through Xiangxi, and then from the Xiangjiang River to Wuhan, and then by the Pinghan Railway to Beiping.
The 2 million troops of the 1st Field Army began a large-scale redress.
President Máo, who was far away in Xi'an, also issued a New Year's Day proclamation to the compatriots across the country and overseas Chinese, calling on all Chinese and overseas Chinese to take action to support the motherland's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression with practical actions.
At the same time, Siye's wheel battle in the Liaoxi Corridor also entered the high cháo.
In terms of infantry equipment and individual soldier quality alone, Siye and the Kwantung Army are actually indistinguishable, both armies can be called the battle-hardened division, under the same premise of sufficient logistics support and sufficient troops, it is basically impossible for the two armies to distinguish the victory and defeat, in fact, no one bargained in the battle.
Of course, the Kwantung Army, which was in a defensive posture, had strong fortifications to rely on, and there were far fewer casualties.
However, the squadron has an almost inexhaustible source of troops, often just today a division was disabled, but overnight this division was immediately full again, and the replenishment of the enlistment was not actually a rookie recruit, so the combat effectiveness of the infantry divisions was basically not greatly weakened.
As time passed, Okamura Ninji finally felt a faint uneasiness.
…………
Jinzhou, the front command of the Kwantung Army.
In the past few days, Okamura Ninji has lost the interest in playing Go with Nakazawa Sanfu, and he no longer takes out his collection of calligraphy and painting antiques to enjoy in public, more often, he just stands silently by the wall, looking at the map and thinking deeply, the soldier's intuition tells him that the behavior of the squadron is extremely abnormal, and there must be an ulterior motive hidden in it.
It's just that Okamura Ninji can't think of anything new that the opponent in the south can play.
Okamura Ninji silently paced the wall, looked at the map and fell into contemplation again, and suddenly, Tamura Yoshitomi, the deputy chief of the General Staff, had already strode in, and immediately suddenly retracted his feet and said: "Your Excellency Marshal, the Chinese Army on the opposite side of the Liaoning West Corridor has changed its number again, and now it is the 8th Army of the Fourth Field Army!" ”
"Another change?" Okamura Ninji's eyebrows suddenly tightened more and more.
In the past 20 days, the squadron on the western Liaoning front has always changed frequently, and although the offensive is extremely fierce, it looks more like actual combat training, and the Kwantung Army has become their compulsory sparring partner.
Okamura Ninji did not think of taking the initiative to attack and give the squadron ** a ruthless attack, but the problem is that the Chinese have also built a lot of radar base stations in North China, and the Kwantung Army Aviation Army cannot compete with the Chinese Air Force when it comes out of Manchuria, and without the cover of the Air Force, how dare the armored cluster of the Kwantung Army easily go out?
"Your Excellency, Marshal." Yoshitomi Tamura said, "It's very abnormal. ”
"I know the anomaly." Okamura Ninji suddenly felt a trace of irritability for no reason, and asked, "Has the task force sent by the headquarters arrived in Burma?" ”
"I've arrived in Myanmar." Yoshitomi Tamura sighed, "However, the news came from the newspapers of the Shina people. ”
"What?" Okamura Ninji frowned, "What's going on?" ”
Tamura Yoshitomi said: "As soon as the task force entered Burma, they were spotted by the vicious dog under Yue Weihan, and the seventeen Jīng Ying agents were captured by the Zhina people before they had time to carry out their work. ”
"Yaga." Okamura Ninji said angrily, "Rice buckets, all of them are rice buckets. ”
After that, Okamura Ninji tried his best to suppress his anger and instructed Tamura Yoshitomi: "Immediately call Marshal Umezu Mijiro and ask the commander to send another special agent to organize a special force, and at all costs, be sure to find out valuable information, I suspect that the Shina Army is likely to develop some strategic weapons in Burma." ”
"Strategic weapons?" Yoshitomi Tamura said awe-inspiringly, "What weapon?" ”
"Maybe it's a spray machine, maybe it's a nuclear weapon." Okamura Ninji said worriedly, "The people of China have received a large number of top scientific circles from the Red Sè Soviet Union, and there are all kinds of scientific research fields, as long as the people of China are willing to invest, it is not impossible to produce results in a short period of time, and if the people of China really develop a spray machine or a nuclear weapon, the empire will be in danger." ”
"Probably not." Tamura Yoshitomi was shocked and said, "Even if the people of China accept a large number of top scientists from the Red Sè Soviet Union, their academic background is still too barren after all, and with the current scientific soil in China, I think it is impossible to develop a spray machine and nuclear weapons." ”
"I hope so." Okamura Ninji said, "So you have to find out anyway!" ”
When Okamura Ninji was an envoy to Germany, he had already seen the power of the spray machine, and as for nuclear weapons, he had also vaguely heard that they were said to be extremely powerful, and only one nuclear weapon could destroy an entire group army in an instant! If the Chinese really develop such strategic weapons, there will be no need for this war to continue.
…………
In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.
For more than a month, ** was still in western Liaoning unhurriedly with the Kwantung Army in rotation, and later, Yiye's two group armies that had completed the refitting also joined the round battle, and under the repeated attacks of ** "blunt knife cutting ròu style", they actually broke through the two fortress defense lines of the Kwantung Army and pushed the battle line forward by 20 kilometers.
In order to spy on intelligence, the Kwantung Army successively sent six special teams to Burma through various channels, but all of them were strangled by Ma Zhankui without exception.
As time passed, Okamura Ninji's uneasiness became more and more intense.
Just when Okamura Ninji couldn't sleep, a shocking news suddenly came from the European battlefield!
In a large-scale battle in the Balkans, more than 4,000 tanks of the German and Russian coalition forces were suddenly ambushed by nearly 1,000 helicopter gunships of the US army.
At that time, the air forces of the two sides were fighting fiercely at high altitudes, and the tank groups were also in the middle of the battle, and then, these helicopter gunships came out of the valley and dense forests without warning, and they quietly approached the battlefield at the height of the treetops, and when the tank groups of the German and Russian forces found danger, it was too late to get out of the battlefield.
In the end, the 15 armored divisions of the German and Russian coalition forces at the forefront of the central route were all wiped out, and the 56 infantry divisions were also surrounded by the allies, and the 9 armored divisions of the central Allied forces plus 37 infantry divisions took advantage of the situation to counterattack under the command of Patton, and the battle line was advanced more than 100 kilometers north at once, and the flames of war re-burned into Romania.
