Chapter 372: Breaking through Shanhaiguan
"Fire cover, three rows with Lao Tzu!" Zhao Quan immediately waved his hand, grabbed the ladder with a gun in one hand and took the lead in climbing up. Several Pyros and other soldiers opened fire, a barrage of bullets sending debris flying across the wall and debris falling. As soon as several ghost soldiers who came from other places to support wanted to shoot, they were hit by a torrential rain of bullets, two fell crookedly on the female wall, and two people directly lost their center of gravity and fell to the bottom of the city.
While Zhao Quan struggled to climb, he kept strafing the city with a gun in one hand, and the power of the MP-44 assault rifle was fully highlighted at this moment.
Strafing at close range, its rate of fire is more terrifying than that of a submachine gun, more powerful, and has a longer range.
Relying on the powerful superior firepower cover of his own flamethrowers and assault rifles, Zhao Quan and other officers and soldiers successfully climbed the women's wall.
......The soldiers who climbed to the top of the city with assault rifles in their hands swept at the soldiers in the distance, and soldiers continued to climb up behind them, as more and more soldiers climbed up to the top of the city.
The officers and men of the 2nd Battalion began to expand the area of occupation and stormed along the head of the city towards both flanks.
Under the powerful firepower of the MP44 assault rifle, the proud stabbing skills of the Yue army could not be brought into play, and soon the corpses were piled up, and the remnants were driven off the city like ducks by the officers and soldiers of the second battalion, and retreated into the pass.
Zhao Quan took advantage of the situation to rush down the pass with the officers and soldiers who had already boarded the pass and launched a fierce attack on the remaining devils, and at the same time, more and more officers and soldiers of the second battalion had climbed up along the city.
Because the army received a jade shatter battle, they fought until the last moment, and they knew that the Qiao family army had a great reputation for not leaving prisoners.
Therefore, even if they were compressed into the Guannai and the victory and defeat had been divided, hundreds of remnants of the army were still unwilling to surrender and tried in vain to resist stubbornly.
In the end, he was burned alive by the officers and men of the second battalion with bazookas and flamethrowers, and all of them became roast pigs, and their deaths were horrible.
……………… In Beiping City, the conference hall in the former military headquarters building.
Qiao Anbang was holding a bowl of mutton soup specially bought by the guards in one hand, and two old Yanjing sauce fragrant cakes in the other, eating them deliciously.
In front of him, Li Pinxian, deputy commander-in-chief of Qiao's army, and a group of staff officers gathered in front of the combat sand table, discussing the situation of the enemy and the next battle plan.
After eating two sauce cakes and a bowl of hot mutton soup into his stomach, Qiao Anbang felt very comfortable in his belly.
At this time, the time had reached the end of the 27th year of the Republic of China, and the weather in Beiping was already very cold.
After eating a hot meal, Qiao Anbang wiped his mouth with satisfaction, stepped forward and asked, "Brother Heling, how is it, has the discussion yielded any results?" ”
"Headquarters, according to the intelligence detected by our army, Hideki Tojo, an old devil, mobilized 200,000 horses, with Yoshio Shinozuka, the former commander of the 10th Division of the North China Front Army, as the commander-in-chief, and had already built three impregnable defensive lines around Jinzhou.
Yoshio Shinozuka even claimed that his Jinzhou defense line could hold on for at least three months, or even half a year. Li Pinxian pointed to the map.
"Jinzhou Defense Line? Trimester? Qiao Anbang sneered.
Seeing that Qiao Anbang disagreed, Li Pinxian reminded: "General, although our army has a comprehensive advantage in air force artillery and even individual equipment, but the strong defense line composed of 200,000 Japanese troops, our army wants to break through one by one, and I am afraid that it will not be able to achieve it in a short time. ”
Qiao Anbang smiled and nodded undeniably: "Brother Heling, your analysis is good, not to mention the 200,000 well-equipped Kwantung Army, and there are long-established fortifications for it to hold, even if 200,000 pigs are for us to kill, we can't kill them for a while and a half." ”
Qiao Anbang said this and said: "However, as the saying goes, the soldiers are treacherous, I have no intention of fighting a frontal battle of attrition with the Yue army in Jinzhou at all, I want to completely recover the four provinces outside the Guanwai within a month, and drive the Yue army across the Yalu River." ”
"Oh? Do you have other arrangements for the main seat? Li Pinxian looked at Qiao Anbang in surprise.
Qiao Anbang smiled mysteriously, pointed to the map and said: "After breaking through the Shanhai Pass, I plan to order Zhang Xudong to lead all the Reading Armored Divisions to bypass Rehe, pass through the Horqin Prairie, and go directly to Hulunbuir, and then attack Qiqihar, and after success, then attack along the North Manchurian Railway in the direction of Changchun." ”
Li Pinxian stared at the map for a while, and suddenly realized that he slapped the table and said: "The general seat is smart, two-thirds of the main force of the Kwantung Army of the army is assembled and deployed in the Jinzhou defense line, and the remaining one-third is to control the two provinces of Jihei and even the Liaodong Peninsula.
At that time, our main force will take advantage of the situation to launch a fierce attack, and it will certainly be able to win a battle and complete its achievements in a single battle, so that the recovery of the entire northeast territory within a month will not be empty talk. ”
"However, from Rehe to Inner Mongolia and then to Heilongjiang, this circuitous route spans thousands of miles, and most of the middle is an endless prairie, and the fuel supply of our armored troops is a big problem." A staff officer voiced his concerns.
Li Pinxian nodded when he heard this, looked at Qiao Anbang and said, "Yes, Boss, oil supply is a big problem." ”
"I have my own arrangements for this, so you don't have to worry." Qiao Anbang muttered in his heart, are you still afraid of logistical supply difficulties when you are flying?
"Well, then I'll rest assured, it is estimated that Hideki Tojo also saw that we could not make such a long-distance strategic detour, so he dared to mobilize two-thirds of the Kwantung Army to build the Jinzhou defense line. Now, Hideki Tojo, an old devil, is going to cry. As soon as Li Pinxian's words came out, all the staff officers laughed along.
At this time, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside, and everyone turned their heads to look, only to see Liu Yifei (Yali), the communications officer of the headquarters, walking in briskly with a message in his hand.
When he came to the front, he suddenly saluted Qiao Anbang and said: "General, the entire 1st Army Division is in an emergency, and the 2nd Battalion of the 1st Regiment of the 1st Army Division of our army annihilated more than 2,000 enemies defending Shanhaiguan ten minutes ago and captured Shanhaiguan. ”
Qiao Anbang nodded, and immediately ordered: "Give Li Yifeng a telegram back to commend him, and order the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th reorganized divisions to advance to Shanhaiguan quickly, and after meeting with the entire division, immediately wave their troops out of the customs and march to Jinzhou!" The 9th and 10th 2nd Divisions were stationed in Tianjin, Beiping, to ensure the safety of our army's logistics supply lines. ”
"Yes!" Yali straightened her chest, and immediately turned around to leave.
"Wait a minute, and Zhang Xudong will be notified, and he will say that he can act." Jo Anbang stopped him.
"Okay." Yali glanced back at Qiao Anbang, smiled and nodded, and turned to leave again.
Seeing Yali leave, Qiao Anbang said to Li Pinxian without looking back: "Brother Heling, the defense of Pingjin will be handed over to you, I will take the guard brigade to Shanhaiguan, and I will personally command the troops to march to Jinzhou." ”
"Please rest assured, there is a crane age, and it will be safe!" Li Pinxian happily agreed, and did not forget to instruct: "Be careful on the road." ”
"Well, I will." Qiao Anbang nodded solemnly.
…………………………………… Shenyang, the headquarters of the Kwantung Army of the invasion of China.
Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura, chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, walked into the headquarters with a message with a gray face.
"Kimura-kun, what's wrong? Shanhaiguan lost? Seeing that his face was wrong, Hideki Tojo took the initiative to ask.
Kimura Hyotaro didn't speak, nodded and handed a telegram in his hand to Hideki Tojo, and then said: "The entire imperial army of the Shanhaiguan garrison was attacked by ten times the powerful artillery fire and poisonous gas of the Shina army, and finally they were outnumbered, and all the jade was shattered, and they were glorious and loyal to His Majesty the Emperor. ”
Hideki Tojo stood up in vain, saluted to the south, and said in a deep voice: "They are all the best soldiers of the empire, and the best subjects of His Majesty the Emperor. ”
"Is there any movement in the Chinese army?" After the salute, Hideki Tojo asked as he returned to normal.
"Not yet, but according to the latest information sent back by the hidden personnel of the Guannei Special High School, the divisions of the Qiaojia Army stationed in the Pingjin area are gathering towards Shanhaiguan one after another, and I think that the people of China should soon launch an attack on our Jinzhou defense line, tomorrow at the latest." Hyotaro Kimura cleaned up his mood and said.
"Tell Yoshio Shinozuka to make all the preparations for battle, be ready for battle, and never let Qiao's army take a step forward easily, as long as he can hold out for a month, a new round of war mobilization in our homeland can be completed, and at that time, reinforcements will continue to come." Hideki Tojo Masasaki.
"Hay!" Kimura Hyotaro suddenly bowed his head in response, and then turned around and strode away with his saber on his shoulder.
…………………………………… In the evening of the same day, the divisions of Qiao's army rushed to Shanhaiguan one after another, and Qiao Anbang also led the guard brigade to arrive.
That night, Qiao Anbang set up his headquarters in Shanhaiguan, and ordered the whole army to drink all night and revel.
Exactly, the glow-in-the-dark glass of grape wine, if you want to drink the pipa, you will urge immediately. Drunk and lying on the battlefield, Jun Mo smiled, and a few people came back to fight in ancient times.
It's not that Qiao Anbang doesn't know that drinking alcohol before the war is not good for the army, it's just that he doesn't know how many of the more than 200,000 athletes who came out of the customs in the next Jinzhou War will return with him alive.
How many people will die on the battlefield and sacrifice their lives for the country.
As their commander, knowing that they might lose their lives if they were sacrificed, Qiao Anbang couldn't save or organize anything.
Because in this Great Patriotic War, someone will have to die, and it cannot be avoided no matter what.
And as their commander, as the backbone and optimus prime in their hearts, all Qiao Anbang can give them is a bitter drinking carnival on the night before the war.
