Chapter 172: The Sino-Japanese War 2

"Okay, good, Xu Jian and Xiang Zilong really didn't disappoint me......"

When the news that Xu Jian and Xiang Zilong had led the Dragon and Tiger Army to capture Samarkand in only eleven days reached Yanjing, Wang Jundao was so happy that he almost lost his temper.

From ancient times to the present, no dynasty has been able to incorporate the land of Hezhong into the territory of China, and even the most powerful Tang Dynasty has only established the state of Guanfu in the Hezhong region, and has not really ruled this rich and prosperous region.

But now, he has done it!

How does this dislike him?

"Congratulations to the commander, not only has he unified China, but also expanded the territory of China to an unprecedented level, and the commander's achievements have completely surpassed all the emperors of the past and present!"

Seeing that Wang Jundao was a little out of shape with joy, Lin Zhengnan didn't forget to shoot a couple of horses while he was excited.

"Haha, Tongxi, Tongxi......" Wang Jundao couldn't help laughing.

After a while, Pang Wei approached the command room of the military hall from the telegraph room, handed Wang Jundao a telegram, and said: "Commander, Liaodong urgently telegraphed, the army has once again increased its troops to the Sinuiju area on the east bank of the Yalu River, and now there are more than 200,000 troops in the Sinuiju area. ”

Wang Jundao smiled slightly, took the telegram, and after reading it, handed it to Lin Zhengnan, and fell into deep thought.

Half-loud, Lin Zhengnan frowned and said, "It seems that I have made up my mind to fight to the death with us." ”

Wang Jundao sneered and said, "Then fight to the death to see who dies in the end!" ”

Lin Zhengnan nodded and said: "The battle of Mongolia is over, the materials we captured on the plateau can fully support the 100,000 army for more than half a year, the battle of Xinjiang Province, we defeated the nearly 200,000 army of Rao Yingqi and Yuan Shikai, and the materials captured before and after are enough to support the 200,000 army for more than half a year, the battle in the river, we captured the materials of nearly 100,000 people of the Russian army, which can fully support the 100,000 army in the river for more than half a year, and after half a year, we have completely gained a firm foothold in the river, With the fertile land and prosperous commerce in the middle of the river, we can be completely self-sufficient, that is to say, we only need to send ammunition supplies to the Mongolian Plateau and the Western Regions, and we can completely free up our hands to deal with Yueben, now we only have 150,000 troops on the Yalu River, and the Yue army has 300,000, with the advantage of weapons, there is no problem in defense. ”

Pang Wei also said: "The ten armies of the Guards Corps have been completely assembled, and they can go to Liaodong at any time, and the railway from Shanhaiguan to Shenyang has also been repaired. ”

Lin Zhengnan continued: "The military hall and the cabinet have mobilized the whole country at the same time, and the enthusiasm of the whole people is high, and they have expressed solidarity with Liaodong and supported this imminent war in various ways. ”

Wang Jundao thought about it slightly, and said: "The order, 100,000 troops are stationed in the Chita area of Heilongjiang Province, which is the first front army, and the ten divisions under his command are the new first army, the 76th division, the 77th division, the 78th division, the 79th division, and the 80th division, with Murong Ke as the commander-in-chief, and Zhang De as the deputy commander-in-chief, to defend more than 100,000 Russian troops in the Baikal region, and the 81st Division, 82nd Division, 83rd Division, 84th Division, and 85th Division, which were originally stationed in the Chita area and along the Far Eastern Railway, were all transferred to Andong.

The capital of Mongolia Province, Yasucheng (Uriya Sutai), garrisoned 100,000 troops for the Second Front Army, and the troops under its command were the New Second Army, the 58th Division, the 59th Division, and the 60th Division, with Yue Fengxian as the commander-in-chief and Cao Futian as the deputy commander-in-chief, defending the 150,000 Russian troops in the Tangnu-Ulianghai area.

100,000 troops were stationed in the eastern area of Yibohai, which was the Third Front Army, and the troops under his command were the New Third Army, the 61st Division, the 62nd Division, and the 63rd Division, with Kangding North as the commander-in-chief and Li Jinglin as the deputy commander-in-chief, to defend against the 150,000 Russian troops in the north of Yibohai.

There are 100,000 troops stationed in the Hezhong area of Hezhong Province, which is the Fourth Front Army, and the troops under its command are the New Fourth Army, the 46th Division, the 47th Division, and the 48th Division.

Anxi Province was garrisoned by the 49th Division under the command of the Fifth Army Corps, and the 50th Division was stationed in Bac Dinh Province, and the two divisions were stationed in the two provinces, which were transferred to local forces to ensure local security, ensure the implementation of the new policy, and ensure the strategic access to the river.

The Predator Cavalry Army temporarily stayed on the Mongolian Plateau, with Kulun as the center, patrolling all parts of the Mongolian Plateau, paying attention to the movement on the plateau at any time, and exterminating it as soon as possible if there was resistance.

The 30,000 tiger and leopard cavalry of the Third Army of the Guards Corps stayed in the Western Regions, with Yili as the center, as a mobile force, patrolling all parts of the Western Regions, extinguishing the resistance forces in various parts of the sky at any time, and ensuring the security of the Western Regions.

The First Army, the Second Army, the Fourth Army, and the Sixth Army Corps, each of which drew troops from each division to form four new armies in turn, namely the New Fifth Army, the New Sixth Army, the New Seventh Army, and the New Eighth Army, each with 50,000 people, ready to listen to orders and transfer to Liaodong!

Chief of Staff Yang Poyu, and Army Chief Xu Jian are about to enter Beijing! ”

After Lin Zhengnan and Pang Wei recorded Wang Jundao's order, Qin Chongxiao then ordered: "Order, the second, fourth, and sixth armies of the Guards Corps will reinforce Anton after three days.

The 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th Guards Corps are reserve units and are ready to stand by at any time!

The most elite special combat teams of the Excalibur Special Forces and the Sharp Arrow Special Forces immediately set out for the territory of the DPRK to carry out special tactics, search for intelligence, draw up military maps, destroy the logistics line of the Syrian army, burn the ammunition and baggage of the Japanese army, and snipe the commander of the Japanese army! ”

After a pause, Qin Chongxiao said again: "Order, the naval fleet has entered a state of combat readiness, obeys the command at any time, and sails to the Korean Strait to fight to the death with the Yue Ben fleet, block the Yue army from reinforcing Korea, and snow the revenge ten years ago!" ”

"Order, set up four construction corps, each construction corps is composed of ten construction divisions, each division has 10,000 people, the task is assigned to the provinces, the period is half a year, after half a year, I will drive these four construction corps to Mongolia Province, Beiting Province, Anxi Province, and Hezhong Province respectively!"

……

On 28 July, the most elite Excalibur Special Forces and Sharp Arrow Special Forces of the Excalibur Special Forces and the Sharp Arrow Special Forces quietly infiltrated North Korea from northern Korea.

On July 29, after explaining the follow-up affairs, Yang Poyu and Xu Jian rushed back to Yanjing from Mongolia and Hezhong respectively.

On July 30, the army fired the first shot to attack China on the banks of the Yalu River, launching a fierce attack on Andong on the west bank of the Yalu River, and the army tried to break through the Yalu River and invade China as it had done in the First Sino-Japanese War ten years earlier.

However, the wishful thinking of the Yue army was doomed to fail, and during the whole day of the attack, the Yue army suffered tens of thousands of casualties on the banks of the Yalu River, but they were unable to cross the Yalu River, and a small number of successful people who successfully crossed the river fell on the banks of the Yalu River before they could touch the barbed wire fence arranged by the forward positions of the Chinese Dragon and Tiger Army.

On July 31, the first batch of troops from the 2nd, 4th, and 6th armies of the Guards Corps to reinforce Anton set off from Tianjin by sea ship, escorted by the navy, and rushed directly to the newly built Donggang seaport southeast of Andong!

On August 1, the army once again launched the battle of crossing the river, storming the position on the west bank of the Yalu River of the Chinese Dragon and Tiger Army, and the roar of more than 300 cannons almost turned over the defensive position of the Chinese Dragon and Tiger Army.

After the artillery bombardment, the army launched a frantic attack, and hundreds of boats of various types began to cross the river.

The Dragon and Tiger Army was naturally not to be outdone, and began to launch a counterattack, the same was an artillery bombardment, but the shells of the Dragon and Tiger Army were much more advanced than the shells of the Yue Army, especially a large number of phosphorus-containing incendiary bombs, so that countless Yue troops ferrying on the river surface tasted the taste of burning themselves.

However, even so, a large number of Japanese troops still landed on the land on the west bank of the Yalu River, but they were still greeted by the same bullets and grenades as they had two days earlier.

The land on the west bank of the Yalu River has once again become a hell on earth, and the bullets of the Dragon and Tiger Army seem to be shooting at the Yue army without money, and if the Yue army rushes within 30 meters, they will be greeted by an overwhelming number of grenades.

The battle lasted for half a day, and the Yue army failed to meet the Dragon and Tiger Army.

Anton, the general headquarters, and the commander-in-chief Nie Yuanzheng were resting on the chair next to the sand table.

After the Yue army attacked Anton, it had been more than two days, and Nie Yuanzheng hadn't closed his eyes properly, and he had just sat next to the sand table, and he was so tired that he accidentally fell asleep.

At this time, Sun Chuanfang, the deputy commander of the Third Legion, hurriedly walked into the command room and was about to speak, but the chief of staff, Xiao Changcheng, shook his head at him and signaled him not to speak or disturb Nie Yuanzheng.

Sun Chuanfang nodded and walked softly to the sand table, but at this moment, Nie Yuanzheng opened his eyes, glanced at Sun Chuanfang, and asked, "What time is it?" ”

Sun Chuanfang replied, "One o'clock in the afternoon." ”

Nie Yuanzheng listened to the sound of the artillery that was still roaring, and muttered: "It's one o'clock, it's been eight hours of fighting, what's the situation on the front line now?" ”

Sun Chuanfang had just inspected the front line, and when he came back, he wanted to report the incident: "The attack of the Yue army is still fierce, because the position was seriously damaged by the artillery fire of the Yue army before, the average casualties of the 7th, 8th, and 9th divisions have exceeded 1,000, but the casualties of the Yue army are even greater, at least 20,000 casualties, and they have not broken through the first line of defense so far, and they are still blocked outside the position." ”

Nie Yuanzheng looked at the sand table and was silent for a long time, Xiao Changcheng proposed: "Why don't we replace the 34th Division, the 35th Division, and the 36th Division?" ”

Nie Yuanzheng didn't speak, but Sun Chuanfang shook his head and said, "No, if you let the soldiers on the frontline retreat, they will definitely be in a mood." ”

Nie Yuanzheng thought about it and said decisively: "Let the 7th, 8th, and 9th divisions withdraw." ”

Sun Chuanfang was puzzled: "Why? ”

Nie Yuanzheng said: "Two days ago, the Yue army may not have expected our resistance to be so tenacious, so the attack was underestimated, not violent, it was a tentative attack, but today is different, the intensity of the Yue army's attack is at least three times more than two days ago, and now the position of the first line of defense has been seriously destroyed by the artillery fire of the Yue army, if we hold on again, our casualties will be even more serious, it is not a wise move, let the 7th Division, 8th Division, and 9th Division withdraw, let our artillery be powerful!" ”

Sun Chuanfang suddenly realized: "Does the commander-in-chief mean to let the Yue army occupy our positions and bombard them with our artillery fire?" ”

Nie Yuanzheng nodded and said, "Yes, that's it, we have to give full play to the power of artillery!" (To be continued.) )
