Chapter 188: Defend Jinzhou

At the beginning of the battle in the Northeast, Chairman Chiang's first thought was to stop Su Dao, and he must not be allowed to take the initiative to launch a second campaign, otherwise once he fails, Huaxia will really have nothing to annihilate the main national defense force of the Yue Army, but the fact is that it is developing in another direction.

The war began as always, Chairman Chiang's worried side did not appear, Su Dao recovered Rehe as expected, recovering a province in the northeast and recovering a province in Guannai is very different, there are a large number of elite Kwantung Army there, with only the little strength in Su Dao's hands, it is a miracle to be able to gain a firm foothold there, no one could have imagined that Su Dao could snatch some benefits from the Kwantung Army.

And this benefit is really too great, so big that they can't bear it at all, not only recovering the northeast, but also indirectly threatening the Yue army in Guannei, causing the North China army to shrink the front, staring at the 99th Army entrenched in the northeast, for fear that the 99th Army will come coldly behind them.

The biggest beneficiary of this battle was Su Dao, but not all of them were Su Dao, Yan Xishan in the Second War Zone, and Chairman Jiang in Wuhan were the biggest beneficiaries. Its strategic significance is beyond everyone's imagination, and the Second World War Zone finally has a chance to breathe a sigh of relief, and the intensity of the offensive of the Wuhan side seems to be much smaller, and there are more and more concerns.

Fighting Wuhan was not as easy as Nanjing, where they encountered stronger resistance, and as the war dragged on, the logistical pressure of the Yue army became more and more great, coupled with the fact that the Chinese army had been attacking the logistics troops of the Yue army for a long time, resulting in its replenishment being far from being able to keep up with the attrition, and the Yue army besieging Wuhan seemed to have the intention of retreating, which was the result that no one expected.

You must know which time I attacked a big city in China and didn't win it in a single battle? Shanghai and Nanjing, all of them are like this, and if this time the Yue army does not take Wuhan in a battle, this will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the other side, and at the same time, it will also make the Chinese side's international discourse more powerful.

The soldiers below cheered, but the people above were worried again, and the anxiety on their faces became more and more serious again and again, and it can be seen that what they are worried about now is not much lighter than the occupation of Wuhan by the army.

That's right, what they are worried about is Su Dao, who is far away in the northeast, Su Dao can bring great joy to Huaxia every time, but in turn, it makes these people rush to greater danger, Chairman Jiang finally struggled to integrate the warlords from all over the country, and now it is okay, Su Dao, the youngest warlord, suddenly stood up, if it was Su Dao alone, it would be good to say, but the problem is that now Chairman Jiang has noticed it, and the minds of the warlords below seem to be active again.

It is the great righteousness of these people to follow the Central Committee to resist the war, but if they do not follow the Central Committee to fight together, but make friends with Su Dao in private, and get equipment or something from him, as long as they do not fight a civil war before the end of the War of Resistance, then no one can attack them as righteous people.

This is what Chairman Chiang is most worried about, and Bai Chongxi, deputy chief of the general staff, is also depressed at this time, and what he is worried about is not the same as Chairman Chiang's worries, Chairman Chiang is worried about the status of the central government, and what he is worried about is the future of Su Dao. Seeing Su Dao rise up in the short term to catch up with those old-timers, Bai Chongxi, who used to be a warlord, knew what Su Dao would do in the future, if it was like this, it would be fine for him to be his king of the Northeast, but would Su Dao be willing to do that?

Obviously has the strength to unify the whole country, will he still guard his one-third of an acre? Obviously, if he is replaced by Bai Chongxi, he will not give up a bigger stage. However, if Su Dao wants to implement his plan, he will inevitably threaten the interests of the central government and many warlords, and his Gui family is obviously among them, so what Bai Chongxi has to consider is what he should do? How do you explain the situation here to Degong?

Eyes return to the Jinzhou battlefield.

After a week of fighting, the periphery of Jinzhou has basically been cleared, and all that remains is the wounded Kwantung Army soldiers doing useless resistance, but that doesn't seem to be a problem at all, the 766th Division only needs a short time to crush all resistance, and it is only now that the Kwantung Army has felt what a real war machine is.

Jinzhou is a big city in western Liaoning, with the largest port, one of the economic outlets for industry and trade, and Jinzhou is also a rare big city in western Liaoning, not only the urban scope is much larger than Jinxi and other places, but the population is not comparable to Jinxi, so before the siege began, Su Dao also had a lot of worries in his heart.

"Order the Air Force to begin!" Standing in the headquarters, Su Dao looked up at the direction of Jinzhou facing the north, and said with a heavy mouth.

Street fighting, not only is the biggest test of the troops, but also a test of the command ability of the commanders of both sides, street fighting is not better than field battles, everyone has set up the position and what equipment to use, even if you are stronger than him if you win. There are many aspects that often have to be considered in a street battle, casualties, damage to buildings, economic losses, etc., although the 99th Army is not short of money now, but after the end of this battle, after the pension of the soldiers, the 99th Army will still be a poor egg.

If the next batch of medicines is not sold within three months, the 99th Army is still facing a financial crisis, so now Su Dao has to think about how to ensure the integrity of Jinzhou City, the 99th Army has the ability to destroy a city, it can be said that it is a matter of minutes, but it does not have the ability to build a city, after thousands of years of development, this city has its current scale, and if you want to restore this, it will inevitably take a lot of time and money, which Su Dao does not have.

"Commander, do you think we're okay with this?" Wu Zhongguo was also worried, this matter was discussed by Su Dao and the two of them.

They wasted a month to clear the Kwantung Army outside Jinzhou City, but they didn't fire a single shell into the city, it was nothing more than for this matter, and now the battle in the other two directions has basically come to an end, and the 766th Division has not been able to capture a city, so it can be said that Su Dao's patience is basically gone.

Originally, I still wanted to let the Kwantung Army in Jinzhou retreat in the face of difficulties, but now it seems that it is impossible to retreat in the face of difficulties, and a tough battle is ten likely.

Su Dao's so-called action just now was nothing more than letting the Air Force bomber squadron fly over Jinzhou with millions of leaflets, and then scatter these leaflets. He hoped that the Kwantung Army in Jinzhou City could withdraw from Jinzhou and avoid unnecessary casualties. Moreover, according to the current battlefield situation, it is only a matter of time before Jinzhou is captured, and the Kwantung Army has no hope of holding Jinzhou at all.

"If it works, we have to give it a try, we can't afford this battle. If it doesn't work this time, we'll clean him up and beat him up, maybe next time it's okay. Su Dao said helplessly, but what he said was the truth.

The combat power of the Ninety-ninth Army was enough to deter the Kwantung Army, as for whether it can scare them away, it is another matter, anyway, there are so many cities in China, one or two will not work, and one day this method will be feasible.

'Buzz! Airplanes! Airplanes! There was a dull sound of engines in the air, and twenty bombers, escorted by fifty fighters, were flying at a rapid speed over Jinzhou.

And after hearing the sound of the bombers, the Kwantung Army below's first reaction was to go to those Chinese civilians and pull them to their side, the more the better, even if they want to die, they have to pull a few cushions. Besides, since these days, the Kwantung Army, who stayed in the city, seems to have found the weakness of the 99th Army, as long as you have the people of Shina as shields by your side, they rarely dare to attack directly regardless of the safety of the people.

The group of planes quickly flew over Jinzhou, and instead of as the soldiers of the Kwantung Army thought, the bombers did not throw out aerial bombs that were enough to kill them, but dropped leaflets one by one, like a goddess scattering flowers.

Lieutenant General Ishiguro Sadazo, commander of the 28th Division of the Kwantung Army, stood in the courtyard of the division headquarters, looking at the leaflets fluttering in the sky, and suddenly felt an unexpected pain in his heart. (The plot needs it, so the 28th Division appeared in advance, as explained earlier, the rangers couldn't find the number of the division under the Kwantung Army during this period, so they could only replace it with the number at the end of 41.) )

Just when Ishiguro Sadazo was a little confused, Lieutenant General Naito Shoichi, the commander of the 11th Division, came over, even if Jinzhou City is big, the two divisions stay here is considered small, for the convenience of the two divisions, so the division headquarters of the two divisions are only separated by a wall, which is convenient for coordination, and can also save some of the defense soldiers of the division and regimental headquarters, so that more soldiers can go to the front line, so it is not surprising that Naito Shoichi appeared at the division headquarters of the 28th Division at this time.

"Ishiguro-kun, you shouldn't be intimidated by these flyers, right?" Naito Masashi saw Ishiguro standing there with a flyer in his hand, and he didn't notice his arrival at all, his face couldn't help but darken, and he asked sternly.

"Neteng-kun, don't make fun of me, I'm thinking about my relatives, after thinking about them, I can fight wholeheartedly and serve His Majesty the Emperor." Ishiguro Sadazo smiled, and didn't care about Naito Shoyi's words, he was the division commander of the 11th Division, and it can be seen from the numbers of their two divisions that it is more important, even if it is above, Naito Shoichi's right to speak is heavier than that of him Ishiguro Sadazo. Besides, Ishiguro Sadazo wasn't really afraid of the Ninety-Ninth Army on the other side, so he didn't take Naito's words to heart at all. (To be continued.) )
