Chapter 1934: The Touchstone (Complete)

Mongolia, Kulen, a small conference room behind the operational command center of the military district. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info "" net

An Yi sat on a large comfortable sofa, still holding a telegram in his hand, and on the coffee table in front of him, there were still a few telegrams from all over South China. During this time, he left government affairs and stayed in Kulen in order to control the war in the Northeast and the Far East at close range, and the current Siping Battle was naturally the top priority.

After reading the telegram, An Yi groaned, handed the telegram to Yang Jie on the side, and then shook his head: "Siping Street has just started fighting, and the Japanese smell is wrong, and they don't even want to guard Harbin and Jinzhou, let's talk about what to do!" ”

After reading the telegram, Yang Jie handed it to Yang Fei and turned to An Yi:

"Now it depends on what the chairman means, whether it is a big fight or a small fight, whether it is to completely cripple the Japanese army, or whether it leaves them with some thoughts to fight the Americans...... If it is a small fight, after capturing Siping, I believe that the Japanese army will understand that they are not at the same level as us on land, and it will only accelerate its retreat process and win the opportunity for us to buy time to quickly solve the war in the northeast!

"If it is a big fight, the desperate Japanese army will inevitably jump over the wall, and perhaps every city will be beaten to pieces like Siping, which is contrary to our original intention of receiving a complete Northeast! In addition, we also have to deal with the threat of the German army on the Western Front, and the recent warning in West Asia has been everywhere, and the strength of the German army in Turkey, Syria, and Transjordania has increased to varying degrees...... How to choose, it depends on the chairman's choice! ”

"Brother Geng Guang is right!"

Seeing that An Yi was silent, Yang Fei took over the conversation: "It is true that we did not use all our strength in this war in the Northeast, whether it was the missile force or the airborne troops, but it must be seen that the Japanese army did not have the determination and courage to persevere.

"The five airborne corps under the Air Force, especially General Ling Xing's First Air Force Army, have been asking the General Staff to fight, and if they really want to let go of the fighting, they can be airdropped to the area east of the Mudanjiang River, or airdropped to the Liaodong Peninsula, and with the cooperation of the newly formed airship unit and the superior air force, they can resist for several days and completely cut off the retreat of the Japanese army.

But now the question is – is it worth it? Generally speaking, after this kind of blocking battle, the paratrooper unit that we have worked so hard to build up will probably be consumed by the Japanese army's desperate fight...... Do we have to leave the Japanese soldiers who have become frightened birds behind and bury them on this land! Wouldn't it be better to put them on their own land and throw a few nuclear bombs to destroy them cleanly? ”

Yang Fei's question caused everyone to ponder, and Zhao Dongquan, who had always advocated leaving the Kwantung Army in the northeast completely, also nodded slightly, obviously considering the power of the nuclear bomb and the current situation on the Western Front that was suddenly tight. "" net

Unlike Japan, once the German army attacks, it will be an earth-shattering shock, and its scale will be unprecedented, and it is very likely that a super battle with the size of millions of troops will occur like in the Eastern European Plain, and it is obviously unwise to seize the Japanese army at this time to chase and fight fiercely, and perhaps it is more in line with the interests of South China to force the Japanese army out of China's territory and even the Asian continent like a duck.

The Japanese archipelago is too close to China, and with the current range and altitude of the Anjia Army's fighters, the Japanese air force is beyond the reach of the dust, and it can inflict a fatal blow on the Japanese army at any time, and there is no need to use its own forces to make unnecessary attrition.

"We also have to take into account other factors!"

Lieutenant General Chen Yu, the current director of the Central Intelligence Agency, who attended the meeting, was full of worry: "Although antibiotics can treat most diseases in the United States, the efficacy of drugs, including ampoxicillin, is greatly reduced due to the mutation of the virus caused by the epidemic!"

"Before launching an attack on the northeast, our intelligence officers had visited the Japanese Army's Units 659 and 731 in Harbin, Unit 100 in Changchun, and Unit 1644 in Chengde......

"These are the biological and chemical units of the Japanese army, and there are currently a large number of research bases for the Japanese army in Japan, Southeast Asia, Australia and other places. According to top-secret information, the Japanese studied lymphoid bubonic plague, cholera, anthrax, typhoid, tuberculosis and other epidemics on the first experimenter, and studied the use of biological weapons on the battlefield, especially the large-scale cultivation and transmission of bacteria and parasites. Because we bombed the Japanese mainland in three or seven years and threatened that if the Japanese army used biological and chemical weapons, we would also use similar weapons against the Japanese mainland, so that the Japanese have never dared to use this deadly bacteria and virus on the Chinese! However, we must be vigilant, if Japan jumps over the wall in a hurry, it may make a desperate gamble and cause unnecessary losses to our military and civilians! ”

Deng Bin, who has recently studied the war situation in Europe, strongly advocates sending the plague god out of the country as soon as possible:

"The battle of Moscow has entered its final stage, the German army is approaching the outskirts of Moscow, and the whole of Moscow is almost in ruins after the German air raids day and night...... Although Zhukov tried his best, he was forced to fall behind in all aspects of troops and weaponry, and he was still defeated one after another.

"After a long period of fighting, the more than two million troops of the Far East Red Banner Cluster, which is a firefighting team, are almost exhausted, although the Supreme Command of the Soviet Army is still organizing a steady stream of new troops to the front, but the gap between the rabble who have temporarily touched the guns and the troops who have received strict training is still obvious, and the situation in Moscow as a whole has seriously deteriorated, and it may collapse at any time, for which we must be psychologically prepared! As far as the war situation in the Northeast and the Far East is concerned, leaving a way for the Japanese to escape for their lives is the best policy! ”

After listening to everyone's speeches, An Yi thought silently, and just as he stood up and was about to express his opinion, Shen Fengdao hurriedly entered and whispered in his ear: "Li Xiaolong is here......"

......

Although the Ming blocks, trenches and fortifications set up by the Japanese army in the western suburbs of Siping were devastatingly hit by the artillery fire of the Anjia army, a large number of devils still survived tenaciously like cockroaches, relying on the tattered positions and resisting stubbornly. (《》网)

The infantry of the Anjia Army entered the enemy position, and the tank guns, machine guns and machine guns behind them firmly suppressed the counterattack fire of the Japanese army, and the officers and soldiers soon approached the enemy, picked up automatic rifles and submachine guns, and fired wildly, and the Japanese soldiers who tried to fight bayonets fell.

At this time, the Japanese positions had been completely blocked by mortar bombs, recoilless guns, gun grenades, and individual rocket launchers of various calibers, and as long as the Japanese fire points in any place were slightly exposed, they would immediately be dealt a devastating blow.

However, even so, there are many firepower points that cannot be called due to geographical topography and other reasons, such as the tunnels built by the Japanese army in the hills and mountains, which cannot be taken for a while, and the devil's firepower is very fierce. At this time, the Spitfire Tank showed its might, a red fire dragon sprayed directly from the mouth of the tunnel, and in an instant the entire tunnel was surrounded by flames, the long fire dragon can shoot dozens of meters away, coupled with the limitation of the narrow space, the power is even more amazing, the devil is not burned to death, but the whole body is full of fire from the vent that spews flames.

The officers and men of the An family were not interested in giving these napalm-stained guys a chance to exchange their lives, and the submachine guns and automatic rifles fired a dense rain of bullets, and the general-purpose machine guns set up on the front line also opened fire fiercely, and these burning men fell to the ground one after another, and turned into pieces of char in a helpless howl.

By two o'clock in the afternoon, the fighting had spread to the outer edge of Xicheng District on Siping Street.

The Japanese army drove the puppet army, relying on high-rise buildings, to continue to resist. When encountering such a target, the tanks of the An Jiajun stopped and shelled the building with tank guns, at which time the 150-mm self-propelled guns also came to join in the fun, approaching the edge of the city and shooting directly at the majestic buildings at a distance of 500 meters.

Dense shells fell on the buildings, exploding black and red fireballs, and the buildings made of reinforced concrete and red bricks could not withstand such fierce attacks, gradually disintegrating and collapsing, and finally crashed to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

As the tall buildings on the outskirts of the city were cleared one by one, the flames of war spread to Siping Street.

Infantrymen, armed with automatic rifles and submachine guns, under the cover of tanks and armored vehicles, divided into strike groups and broke through in the direction of the east of Siping City.

The Japanese relied on the houses on both sides of the street, coupled with the fortified barricades and light and dark bunkers, weaving a dense barrage, and scarlet tongues of fire rolled towards the attacking officers and soldiers of Anjia.

Tanks and armoured vehicles covering the infantry's advance quickly adjusted their muzzles and aimed at buildings and bunkers that were firing tongues of fire, dumbing them out with cannon after shot.

In the violent explosion, the devil and the puppet soldiers were blown to pieces along with their guns, and flew out of the shattered walls, windows, and the bunker with holes in the top.

Taking advantage of the chaos, the special brigades of the group army and various divisions, with carefully organized assault teams, smoothly penetrated into the city, interspersed operations from the flanks of the Japanese puppet army, and then occupied various strategic points, specifically looking for important targets, the Japanese officers at all levels, gunners, machine gunners, etc. were suffered, and accurate bullets appeared behind them, and the ghostly recoilless artillery shells, gun grenades, rockets and grenades made the devils dizzy and miserable, and they didn't know which direction to defend at all.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the good news came again, in the Shuangmiaozi Heights in the south of Siping City, under the forced assault of two divisions of the Anjia Army, a wing of the Japanese army stationed here was completely annihilated, and the southern section of Siping of the South Manchurian Railway completely fell into the control of the Anjia Army. If the Japanese army wanted to escape, they could only take the Simei Railway, cross the Dahei Mountains to the east, pass through Shiling, cross Liaoyuan, and arrive at the mouth of the Mei River. Therefore, as long as they are not determined to fight to the death and not retreat, the Japanese army must be distracted to ensure the safety of the Shilingzi line in the east of the city, otherwise once the Anjia army, which has made a detour from both flanks, closes up in the east of the city, it will be a situation where the turtle in the urn is caught and captured.

The battle had only been going on for more than ten hours, and the situation had become so sinister that it greatly exceeded the expectations of Lieutenant General Naosaburo Okabe, commander of the Japanese Third Front.

Okabe Naosaburo, who was originally unhappy to hold on to Siping Street, became more and more shaken, and immediately quietly ordered the headquarters to be transferred from the east of the city to Tashan Village in the Daheishan Pass, and called the reserves of the four wings that were originally intended to be used for a decisive battle in Dongcheng District, and immediately marched eastward and set up a blocking position on the Shilingzi line, so that the situation could be unfavorable to retreat.

The war in the urban area of Siping Street is still continuing, the Japanese army has a large number of cannons, field artillery and anti-aircraft guns in the city, stubbornly blocking the advance of the siege troops of the Anjia Army, by the time night comes, the north line of the city has advanced to the intersection of the Beidahe Railway, and the center is temporarily forming a tug of war around the intersection of the central street and Xizhima Road, the Nanhu of the southern line has been successfully taken, and the Japanese army relies on the thick buildings on the west side of the railway, and launched a fierce counterattack.

In the darkness of night, the special brigade directly under the Second Group Army, which had infiltrated the eastern part of the railway, successfully seized an artillery position of the Japanese army, and captured eight Type 88 75-mm anti-aircraft guns, four Type 99 88-mm antiaircraft guns, six Type 98 20-mm anti-aircraft guns, and five 12.7-caliber antiaircraft machine guns.

The special forces, who had undergone various weapons and equipment training, were overjoyed when they saw this, and immediately moved the corpse of the devil lying on the cannon, and then turned the muzzle of the cannon and fired at the Japanese fire point from behind.

Under the direct fire of artillery fire at close range, a building that was spewing flames exploded, and the entire building was shrouded in smoke and flames, which was particularly conspicuous in the dark night.

This artillery position is located in the water tower on the north side of the Manchurian Railway Building, and is responsible for providing domestic water to the nearby neighborhoods, and it is also the highest place in the surrounding area, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Naturally, the Japanese army did not allow such a strategic place to be occupied by the officers and soldiers of Anjia who touched behind them, and immediately organized troops to try to take it back.

When the dense Japanese puppet army charged towards the water tower, the anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, as well as the Type II general-purpose machine guns of the special forces opened fire together, many devils were stopped and beaten in two, and the upper side itself desperately charged forward, but the two hands only found that the position did not move, and when he looked down and found that the lower body was empty, he screamed and fell to the ground, and fell into boundless darkness.

More devils were beaten to pieces, or blood spurted out like a sieve, and the powerful firepower suppressed the Japanese army, and several devil commanders who were commanding the battle in the rear just stood up to prepare for fierce morale, and were locked by snipers in the light of the flames, and with one shot, they made their heads bloom and go to hell to see Amaterasu.

It was only when the shells ran out in the early hours of the morning that the officers and men of the special brigade planted mines around the artillery positions to look for a weak link of the Japanese army to break out of the encirclement, and continued to look for the enemy's weak link to deal a fatal blow.

Under the cover of night, the special forces of the An Jia Army were even more terrifying than the combination of tanks and infantry attacking head-on, and the Japanese troops were fiercely attacked from behind and from the flanks, and all of them were killed before they could react, and many of the fire points were inexplicably dumbfired, and then they were overwhelmed by the steel army rolling in front.

At three o'clock in the morning, all the urban areas west of the South Manchurian Railway were occupied by the Anjia army. The Japanese retreated to the eastern part of the railway, and the resistance weakened again due to the loss of a large number of anti-tank guns.

At this time, Okabe Naosaburo had already set up his headquarters in a train car at the Shilingzi Railway Station, which was more than 20 kilometers away from Siping City, and when he heard that Siping West City had been lost, he immediately called the Kwantung Army Headquarters to ask for "tactical guidance" and waited for the order to "switch to battle."

An hour later, a telegram from Umezu Yoshijiro arrived, ordering Naosaburo Okabe to lead the remnants to flee to the Umehekou area, and then retreat to North Korea by Ji'an or Linjiang to be under the command of the Korean army. Umezu Mijiro told Okabe Naosaburo the bad news that the city of Jilin had been occupied by the eastward Anjia army, and the next battle was very likely to spread to North Korea.

Okabe Naosaburo hurriedly ordered the whole army to retreat, and then took the Japanese troops in the Shilingzi area to take the lead, striving to arrive in Liaoyuan by train before dawn, and then decide whether to march during the day under the threat of Anjia Army fighters depending on the situation of the pursuing troops behind him, completely ignoring the fierce fighting that was still breaking out in the east city of Siping Street.
