Chapter 512: Bloody Battle in Jinzhou (Part I)
Chapter 512: Bloody Battle of Jinzhou (I)
The 3rd and 8th Group Army of the Republic of China successfully landed on the beach in Jinzhou Bay, eastern Liaodong.
The next day, the 10 infantry divisions of the 3rd Front Army of the Kwantung Army, with the coordination of 2 tank divisions and 4 heavy artillery brigades, advanced to the vicinity of Huludao and directly threatened the beachhead of the 8th Army in Jinzhou Bay.
At the critical moment, the "1st Army Aviation Division" that Yue Weihan painstakingly managed officially entered the war!
After the 3rd Army Air Force suffered heavy losses, the 2 tank divisions and the 8th Division launched a counteroffensive and occupied the Lianshan Railway Station at dawn the next day.
At the same time, the 88th Division has been along the Eastern Railway, and the front is directly aimed at Jinzhou, where the front headquarters of the Kwantung Army is located! However, when attacking the Japanese immigrant villages and armed settlements on the outskirts of Jinzhou, they were met with stubborn resistance from the Japanese.
…………
30 miles west of Jinzhou, Jinxing Town.
Although the land around Venus Town is fertile, it was originally just an uninhabited wilderness.
When Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Xueliang father and son were in charge of the Northeast, they encouraged immigrants from Shandong, Henan and Hebei to go out of the customs on a large scale, which is the famous "Guandong" big cháo in history, Zhang Dashuai even dispatched troops and train wagons to grab people directly from the Guan, after more than 20 years of unremitting efforts of Zhang's father and son, a total of more than 24 million immigrants from the Guannai!
It was in the Great Cháo that the town of Venus began to appear on the map of the four eastern provinces.
After the September 18 incident, the Japanese began large-scale immigration to the northeast, and soon a Japanese armed garrison village was built outside Jinxing Town, and thousands of hectares of fertile land nearby became the property of the Japanese, and the Chinese who lost their land had no choice but to go to the periphery to reclaim wasteland.
When more than 120 officers and men of the 9th Company of the 3rd Regiment of the 88th Division of the 8th Group Army of the Siye Army drove into Jinxing Town in armored personnel carriers and trucks, the Chinese and Japanese in the town had already run out, and except for the occasional wild dog scurrying through the street, there was not a single living thing in sight, and the whole thing looked like a ghost domain.
"Company commander, there's not even a ghost here." When Captain Lu Jianyong, the commander of the 9th Company, was standing on the armored personnel carrier and holding up the telescope to look around, the leader of the top soldier squad greeted Dakui out of breath. ”
"Row 1 and 2 rest in place, and row 3 follow me!" Captain Lu Jianyong immediately gave the order.
Immediately, more than 30 officers and soldiers coaxed onto a big truck, and then followed Lu Jianyong's armored personnel carrier to a village not far east of Jinxing Town.
Shortly after Captain Lu Jianyong left with 3 rows of chariots, dozens of Japanese suddenly appeared outside the town.
The Japanese who appeared were basically old people, NV people and children, and it was almost impossible to find adult men over the age of 16 and under 60, and the eyes of these people were either indifferent, or dull, and full of hatred, but the officers and soldiers of the 9th Company didn't care much, they were all old people, children and NV people, what could they do with them?
There was a Xiǎo soldier from Hunan who took out a biscuit from his marching bag and walked towards a seven or eight-year-old Xiǎonv child, who looked like his sister very much, so it aroused his family affection at once, and the remaining officers and soldiers of the 9th Company chōu smoked chōu smoke, chatting and chatting, not realizing that death was beckoning to them.
As soon as the xiǎo warrior walked up to the xiǎonv child and squatted down, the whole person suddenly froze there.
The xiǎonv child's hand that was still behind him just now had reached out to him, but the white and tender xiǎo was holding a cold Wang Ba box in his hand, and the muzzle of the black dòngdòng Huo Ran had already aimed at the eyebrows of the xiǎo warrior, such a scene was obviously beyond the limit of the xiǎo warrior's thinking, making him unable to react in time, in fact, it was too late to react.
Because Xiǎonv pulled the trigger at the same time as he raised the gun, a shot hit the center of the Xiǎo warrior's eyebrows.
The bullet drilled into the center of the Xiǎo warrior's eyebrows, spun at high speed and stirred up the brain marrow of the Xiǎo warrior, and finally lifted the back half of the Xiǎo warrior's skull entirely, seeing this incomparably bloody scene, the nearby 9 companies of soldiers were all stunned, they couldn't believe that a six or seven-year-old Xiǎonv kid could actually use a gun and dare to kill!
And then, an even more terrifying scene happened, the Japanese old people, NV people and children who suddenly appeared, also stretched out their hands behind their backs, and the officers and soldiers of the 9th Company were shocked to find that these Japanese old people, NV people and children were not holding pistols, grenades and explosive bags, and they were pulling the strings.
"Kill, kill them all!" The deputy company commander snapped up and gave a sharp order.
But it was too late, because the distance between the two sides was too close, almost at the same time as the deputy company commander gave the order, those Japanese old men, NV people and children who had pulled grenades or bombed yào bags had already rushed into the middle of the officers and soldiers of the 9th Company, and in the continuous explosions, the officers and soldiers of the 9th Company were overturned to the ground one after another, and more officers and soldiers were killed by the fragments of the roaring four.
No one can withstand a suicide attack at such close range, no matter how agile and experienced a veteran is!
Almost at the same time as the Japanese elderly, NV people, and children launched suicide attacks, hundreds of Japanese military police, armed pioneer group members, and police personnel came out of the tunnels hidden under the snow, and immediately launched a fierce attack on the officers and soldiers of the 9th Company in Jinxing Town!
…………
Tianjin Xiǎo Station, Siye Front Command.
The battle hall was crowded with people, and there was a sense of excitement everywhere.
On the edge of the mō sand table, which is dozens of meters long and wide, there are many high-ranking generals, all of whom have their eyes shining, pointing at the sand table, and discussing happily.
Yue Weihan didn't join in the excitement, just stood alone in front of the window and enjoyed the snow.
Last night, there was another heavy snow in North China, and when I woke up in the morning, there was more than three feet of snow, and this heavy snow is bound to have a great impact on Siye's next military operations, especially the low weather that comes with heavy snowfall, which is bound to have an adverse impact on tanks, artillery, armored trucks and other heavy equipment.
Once there is a large-scale freeze in Liaodong Bay, it will even endanger the logistics supply line.
However, the low temperature weather will also have an impact on the Kwantung Army, and even the impact will be greater, because the tanks and trucks of the four fields burn gasoline, while the Kwantung Army's Type 4 tanks and trucks burn diesel, and diesel is obviously more likely to freeze than gasoline.
In the hurried footsteps, Mr. Zuo had already come behind Yue Weihan.
"General, the 88th Division failed to attack Jinxing Town in the western suburbs of Jinzhou!" Mr. Zuo saluted the military salute and said with a solemn expression, "The Kwantung Army actually doesn't have many regular troops in Jinxing Town, but the gendarmerie team, police force and armed pioneer regiment of the Xiǎo devil have shown strong combat effectiveness, oh yes, there is also a puppet Manchuria**!" ”
"And that's to be expected." Yue Weihan waved his hand, his expression indifferent.
The desperate resistance of the Devil's Gendarmerie, the police force, and the armed pioneer regiment is completely understandable, because since the fall of the four eastern provinces, the Japanese government began a large-scale migration to the Northeast, and by the 33rd year of the Republic of China, more than 2.6 million Japanese had emigrated to the Northeast, and these Japanese had taken root in the Northeast.
Now the squadron is launching a large-scale counteroffensive to pull out the roots of these Japanese from the northeast, and the Japanese will of course resist, which is exactly the same as the tens of millions of Shandong people in history who forced the victory of the Huaihai Battle with a wheelbarrow, and the reason is exactly the same, whether it is the Chinese or the Japanese, in order to protect their own land, they dare to play with others.
As for the desperate resistance of the puppet Manchukuo, that is the fault caused by Chi Chengfeng, a stupid big black man.
Chi Chengfeng killed dozens of big Han Jiān in the Second Battle of Songhu with very cruel means, which was very happy, but it also caused panic among all Han Jiān in the Northeast, and many Han Jiān who were in Cao Ying's heart in Han also became a real hardcore Han Jiān in desperation, including Pi Chengcheng, the father of Pi Xiaocheng, the chief engineer of the Burmese Ordnance City.
After a long while, Yue Weihan finally sighed and said: "Immediately give an order to the 8th Group Army, and the front-line soldiers will meet civilians on the battlefield again, whether they are Japanese or Chinese, first shout in Chinese to let them leave immediately, and those who do not understand or refuse to leave will be killed on the spot!" ”
…………
Jinzhou, the front command of the Kwantung Army.
In the office, Okamura Ninji is gently rubbing the black and white photo in his hand, on the photo, there are two NV people, the same beauty, the same gentleness, the one on the left is his wife, and the one on the right is his NV, unconsciously, two tears have quietly slipped down Okamura Ninji's cheeks.
Kazuko, have you received the letter I sent you and the allowance?
And Miko, in the first half of next year, you should graduate from college, right? It's a pity that Dad can't attend your graduation ceremony, I really want to see your bright smile, but perhaps, Dad will never see you again, if Dad really can't come back to you, you and your mother must live and live strong......
The closed room was suddenly removed, and Yoshitomi Tamura, who looked solemn, hurriedly entered.
Seeing the remaining tears on Okamura Ninji's cheeks, Tamura Yoshitomi couldn't help but be stunned, Marshal Okamura, who has always been as strong as steel, actually shed tears? Will it be sad too? Thinking of the sharp turn in the Manchurian war, Tamura Yoshitomi's heart couldn't help but sink and sank......
Okamura Ninji did not hide his sadness in front of Yoshitomi Tamura.
Now there is no need to hide your emotions anymore, and there is no need to pretend to be strong in front of your subordinates.
With the success of the squadron's beach-grabbing landing in Jinzhou Bay, the battle situation in Manchuria is actually irreversible, although Okamura Ningji still swore to Umezu Mijiro on the phone that as long as he Okamura Ningji is there, Jinzhou, the Jiāo hub connecting Liaodong and Liaoxi, will definitely not be lost, but everyone knows that this is just the "official language".
Umezu Mijiro couldn't hear that Okamura Ninji was determined to "yù break" in Jinzhou.
After that long time, Okamura Ninji finally stabilized his mood and said to Tamura Yoshitomi: "Are all the people together?" ”
"Hello." Yoshitomi Tamura bowed his head suddenly, Okamura Ninji nodded, and then strode out of the office.
When Okamura Ningji appeared in the conference room again, the whole person had become vigorous and high-spirited again, and his words and deeds showed strong self-confidence, and the military police captains, police chiefs, armed pioneer regiment commanders, and puppet Manchurian ** division commanders and regiment commanders gathered in the conference room made up their minds one after another.
"Ladies and gentlemen." Okamura Ningji glanced at everyone with burning eyes, and said solemnly, "Jinzhou's strategic position is very important, it is no exaggeration to say that Jinzhou is the backbone of my Kwantung General Army, once Jinzhou is lost, the troops stationed in Liaodong and Liaodong will be completely divided by the Zhina Army, especially the 3rd Front Army stationed in the Liaoxi Corridor, their logistics supply line will be completely cut off by the Zhina Army, and the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”
"So......" Okamura Ningji said solemnly, "Jinzhou can't afford to lose!" ”
"Of course, we're definitely not alone! The heavy army group of the 5th Front Army is coming back from the east and west, and our task is to firmly contain the China Army that has landed on the outskirts of Jinzhou at all costs and by all means, to win time for the heavy army groups to return, and finally encircle on all sides and open the center to annihilate the China Army on the outskirts of Jinzhou in one fell swoop! ”
After some generous encouragement, the captains of the military police, the police chiefs, the commanders of the armed development regiments, and the division commanders and regiment commanders of the puppet Manchurian ** left one after another, and Tamura Yoshitomi immediately entered the conference room and said to Okamura Ningji: "Your Excellency Marshal, these rabble are not vulnerable at all, so let's transfer the five field divisions stationed near Linghe and Guta." ”
"No!" Okamura Ninji Huo Ran raised his hand and said coldly, "Before the reinforcements of the 5th Front Army arrive, these 5 field divisions are our last general reserves, and they must not be put into battle so early, as for these local troops, they are by no means a rabble, Tamura-kun, never look down on the combat effectiveness of human beings in a desperate situation!" ”
"But they're civilians!" Tamura Yoshitomi said disapprerovingly, "Do they really have the courage to fight against the Shina army?" ”
"Tamura-kun, you're wrong again." Okamura Ninji shook his head and said in a quiet voice, "It's true that they are civilians, but they never lack the courage to fight, and when their existing property is threatened, they will definitely resist desperately!" ”
