readx; Jinxi,

Su Daoduan sat in the headquarters and observed a huge combat map, and sometimes walked in front of the sand table, looking at the positions of the enemy and us marked on the sand table. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It had only been half a day since the battle began, and the battle line had been pushed a distance of nearly a hundred miles, which greatly exceeded Su Dao's expectations.

The blitzkrieg led by the armored forces undoubtedly achieved significant results on the battlefield in China, but now Su Dao could not be happy.

The number of their armored forces was so small that the three hundred tanks were divided into three small groups, a hundred tanks each of the three armies, that is, a tank brigade plus an armored infantry brigade.

Only the progress in the middle lane made Su Dao feel a little scary.

The western route had advanced to the Baxian Cave area, and the eastern route was the battle initiated by the Fourth Army, and the forward troops had also advanced the front to Montenegro and defeated the main force of the Kwantung Army there.

The middle route had indeed advanced the front to Kangping, which was less than 300 kilometers away from the puppet Manchurian capital and the headquarters of the Kwantung Army.

If the armoured forces advance at full speed, they will be there before sunset tomorrow.

The three armies are advancing in unison, and no matter what problems arise on either side, one of them can rush to the aid of the other in a few hours, but the problem now is that the speed of the mid lane rush is a little too fast.

The western road is quite the same, and it only takes a few dozen kilometers to advance the front to go hand in hand with the middle road.

However, there was a problem on the eastern road, which was originally a heavily defended place for the Kwantung Army, and the Fourth Army Corps was insufficient, even with the assistance of the tank brigade, they could not quickly advance the front.

It's not that the Kwantung Army is resisting stubbornly, it's that they need to clear the battlefield for too long.

Moreover, Shenyang, which is now Mukden, is a necessary place for the Eastern Route Army, and there are also many Kwantung Army troops in Mukden, and it is the logistics supply base of the Kwantung Army.

Mukden they must be in their hands, otherwise it will give the Kwantung Army a chance to breathe, and it will also allow the Kwantung Army to seize the opportunity to attack the Eastern Route Army from behind.

Kangping is only 100 kilometers from Mukden, and Montenegro is less than 110 kilometers from Mukden.

Su Dao's mind was racing fast, thinking if it was possible to make a cooperation between these two legions?

"Order the Second Army Corps, the Central Route Army to stop the attack, rest for the night, and go around to the rear of Mukden early tomorrow morning, and cooperate with the Eastern Route Army to capture Mukden in one fell swoop. The Western Route Army continued to advance, but paid attention to the speed of advance, and maintained a speed of about 50 kilometers per day until the Central Route Army returned to Kangping. ”

Su Dao commanded.

If Mukden is not taken, there will always be a gap in the army's attack, and the flank of the army will be completely leaked in front of the Kwantung Army.

At that time, the Kwantung Army only needs to send a small force to constantly attack the logistics supply lines of the Central Route Army, and the front army will be self-defeating and forced to retreat.

As soon as the Central Route Army withdrew, the Western Route Army was no better, they had to guard against the Kwantung Army on the west side, and there was already a lot of pressure, if the Central Route Army retreated, the Western Route Army would be attacked on both sides, and the weak logistical supply could not guarantee the needs of the troops at all.

"Yes, Throne."

A staff officer quickly recorded Su Dao's order, and after answering loudly, he hurriedly turned around and went to send a report.

During the war, Su Dao's side had to follow two or three staff officers at any time, so that Su Dao's orders could be conveyed in time.

"Go get the chief of staff."

Immediately afterwards, Su Dao once again gave the order to find Wu Zhongguo, chief of staff of the 99th Army.

"Yes." A guard soldier answered, and immediately left the place to find Wu Zhongguo.

The staff officers all record orders, and there are naturally guards to look for people like this, and besides, the military headquarters is heavily guarded, and there are no less than him, and not too many of him.

The biggest advantage of Blitzkrieg is speed and firepower, and only powerful firepower combined with high-speed maneuvering vehicles can exert the desired effect.

Although the 99th Army is also using this tactic, it is not a real blitzkrieg, and in general, the infantry following the rear of the armored forces still more or less dragged the armored forces back.

Su Dao was also very helpless about this, if he had thousands of tanks at this time, he would definitely directly order the armored troops to rush forward, directly kill the Xinjing Special City, and knock out the puppet Manchurian capital and the Kwantung Army Headquarters in one fell swoop.

It is not certain that Umezu Mijiro will be directly defeated, but as long as Shinkyo is occupied, the morale of the Kwantung Army will inevitably be greatly damaged, and the armored forces will go directly south from Shinkyo Special City to cooperate with the army, and the Kwantung Army between the two will be caught between the north and the south.

Thousands of tanks on the battlefield are far from being able to resist some infantry, and well-trained soldiers will definitely have an advantage when dealing with infantry, but once they face this torrent of steel, they have no countermeasures.

The air force of the 99th Army could not provide large-scale bombing at this time, and only when the troops were attacked by the Devil Air Force, they would send fighter planes to support, or when it was confirmed that there were no Devil fighters, bombers would be dispatched.

All this stems from the fact that the number of fighters is too small, more than 200 fighters, although they seem to be huge, but they are still not good in front of the army.

The second batch of pilot training has just begun, and it will be a month or two at the earliest before they can take off on their own, and they will have to rely on themselves to fight.

There is no shortage of fighters, the only thing that is lacking is people.

He didn't want his air force to be like the kamikaze drones of later generations, who would die with the enemy at every turn, and even for the sake of speed, they could abandon carrying aerial bombs and crash directly into enemy ships once they found them.

Although the kamikaze drones also caused a lot of trouble for the Allies, they felt terrified.

But after all, that is not what a military power should do, and the army fought too fiercely in the early stage, and the talents in the later stage could not keep up, and it was difficult to find even a pilot.

Under these circumstances, he had to train a group of pilots quickly.

They don't need to be strong in combat, they just need to be able to fly into the air, and then they will die with the enemy, and even land will be saved.

"Junza, are you looking for me?"

Not long after, Wu Zhongguo walked into the military headquarters.

As soon as the war began, he, the chief of staff, seemed very busy, although the war had little to do with him, the main tasks had been arranged, and the specific ones below would have a headache.

However, Wu Zhongguo still needs to be responsible for dispatching the logistics and supply of the entire army, and at the same time, he must also understand the latest situation on the front line and prepare for emergencies.

When Su Dao sent people to look for him, Wu Zhongguo was checking the stock of grain at a logistics base to make sure there was enough food at the front.

The number of trucks is not enough to support the needs of the front-line troops, and even if the truck drivers do not rest 24 hours a day, it is difficult to transport tens of thousands of people to the front.

was worried about whether to find some people to help transport grain, so the guard told Wu Zhongguo that Su Dao was looking for him.

"Well, how are the recruits who asked Liu Guodong to train a few days ago? Where is it now? ”

Seeing Wu Zhongguo's arrival, Su Dao didn't gossip, and asked directly about business.

"There are two brigades of soldiers in Jinxi, one brigade in Suizhong, and the supporting armored infantry brigades are all in Jinxi, and the training has been basically completed, and they have not had time to carry out specific training."

Wu Zhongguo replied quickly.

"Transfer that brigade from Suizhong and order the two tank brigades and three armored infantry brigades in Jinxi to enter the first level of preparation and receive new equipment early tomorrow morning."

Su Dao thought for a moment and said with a frown.

Time no longer allowed him to give those recruits more training opportunities, and now there is a shortage of armored troops on the front line, and even if this tank division is put on the battlefield, the number is still very small.

The Blitzkrieg of the Germans in later generations seemed to be very powerful, but in fact it was launched by thousands of tanks, and this thing was useless when there were fewer of them.

In the face of so many troops, they must have enough tanks to complete the purpose of the blitzkrieg.

Taking all the areas south of Xinjing in five days is the lowest bottom line of Su Dao, and if they still can't complete the mission with the support of such powerful equipment, their mission will be considered a failure.

Although it can also give the Kwantung Army a certain deterrence, the effect is much worse.

Since it has been decided to fight, let's fight a big one, and beat all of them into fear, so that they dare not despise the Ninety-ninth Army anymore.

"By the way, didn't Liu Guodong apply for the formation of an armored division reserve division some time ago?"

Soon, Su Dao thought of another unit that could be counted as an armored force, although it was only a reserve, but it was better than nothing.

"No, the reserve division has just been formed, the tank driver has just learned to drive a tank, and the rest of the crew has not even touched the tank, this is too risky, absolutely not."

Wu Zhongguo shook his head vigorously and directly denied Su Dao's method.

That unit did exist as a reserve division of armored forces, but at that time, Liu Guodong's armored division was still mainly focused on training new armored division personnel.

The entire unit should be one with one belt, and at the same time, it was necessary to ensure that the novices had enough opportunity to touch the tanks, so that the reserve division was temporarily put down.

Except for the tank driver, who was sent to the battalion for a week of training, the rest of the people stayed at the station to learn theoretical knowledge.

In addition, these soldiers did not know a single word, and they also encountered a lot of difficulties when learning, and the instructors could only pass the lectures, and then use a few tanks to let them master the knowledge of tanks.

"It doesn't matter, the new tanks that have arrived this time are different from the ones we are equipped with now, and the requirements for personnel are not high."

Su Dao waved his hand to stop Wu Zhongguo's idea of continuing, and then continued to speak:

"This time there is about a regiment of heavy tanks, and the rest are all light tanks, focusing on speed, now we don't need any too powerful tanks to deal with the devils, as long as the speed is fast enough, we can break through their defense line and achieve our goal."

Indeed, Su Dao did not plan to continue to exchange for T34/85 this time, although this tank is not bad, but it is a little powerless against the German Leopard tank.

Although the actual combat proves everything, those who are not really familiar with it do not know that the T34 often needs to build several tanks into it to destroy a Leopard.

According to the national conditions, Su Dao has limited opportunities to use heavy tanks in the future, and based on the above considerations, Su Dao still decided to exchange for a regiment of Leopards as support equipment in the tank.

The T50-2, which was developed and designed by the Kirov plant at the same time, was forced to stop due to technical difficulties, and the T50, the well-known tank, competed with it at the same time.

I have to say that Su Dao's atlas is really powerful, and it has been studied like this, but because the technical problems are too difficult, there is no equipment for the troops, and there are all in the atlas.

The reason why the T50-2 was chosen is because this guy has a terrifying speed, with a top speed of 72 kilometers per hour, which is much faster than the T34, and is the best equipment to deal with the little devil infantry in this battle. (To be continued.) )
