Chapter 1079: Overwhelming

Hideki Tojo insisted on going his own way, mobilized the army aviation units and ground troops of the Kwantung Army in the Jinzhou area to take off and assemble regardless of everything, and rushed to western Liaoning to participate in this battle.

As a result, the Japanese army and air units in the entire South Manchurian region lost the last chance to retain a certain amount of air power and maintain air supremacy.

Because almost dozens of Japanese fighters and bombers in the Jinzhou area had just flown to the Xingxian front line in the western Liaoning battlefield, the Third Mixed Flight Group of the Falcon Flying Regiment of the Longya Corps also rushed to the airspace near the Japanese army aviation base in Lushun, Dalian. Under the guidance of the ground by agents of Long Yingwei, who had infiltrated the gate early and lurked outside the gate, they carried out precise air strikes on the Japanese army and air bases.

Although the Japanese ground air defense unit issued an air defense alert when the Dragon's Tooth Falcon Flying Regiment first appeared, due to the rush of time, the Japanese fighters still did not have time to take off to meet the attack, and they were destroyed one by one on the runway or on the tarmac.

Immediately afterwards, more Dragon's Tooth fighters began to pounce on the Japanese ground air defense positions, and with their excellent fighter performance and powerful firepower, several air defense positions around the airport were destroyed one after another, and the Japanese killed and wounded hundreds.

In less than 10 minutes, the Japanese army's army air base in Dalian was destroyed, and 40 or 50 planes were lost; so far, only a few dozen of the Japanese Kwantung Army's combat planes in the South Manchurian region were left that took off from Jinzhou Airport, but because the airfields in Jinzhou, Dalian, Huludao, and other places were all destroyed by the Dragon's Tooth Falcon Flying Regiment, these dozens of Japanese fighters have lost the opportunity to return home, and what awaits them will be the exhaustion of fuel, the destruction of the planes, and the death.

Qiao Youhua sat in the headquarters of Qinhuangdao, and after listening to the report of the Falcon Flying Regiment, he stood up excitedly, and waved his big hand: "The time is ripe, order the First Flying Group of the Falcon Flying Regiment to take off again immediately and fly over the battlefield in Xingxian County to provide air support for our ground offensive forces, and to fight ground-air joint operations, and strive to break through all the Japanese defense lines in western Liaoning in one go." ”

A communications soldier saluted in response and conveyed Qiao Youhua's order.

At the same time, Liu Yidao also commanded a huge attack group composed of three integrated divisions and two tank divisions to launch a final attack on the third line of defense of the Japanese army.

The entire field position was shattered by the dense shells, and the ground shook and turned into a monstrous sea of fire.

The Japanese infantry was killed, wounded, and countless, and their morale fell to freezing point.

The hundreds of thousands of troops of the Dragon's Tooth Corps took advantage of the situation to launch a fierce attack like a tide, and stormed the past with overwhelming momentum, almost all the way like a bamboo, crushing and pushing to easily break through the Japanese army's field defense position.

Immediately afterwards, it launched a fierce offensive against Xingxian, the main strength of the Japanese army has been lost in the three field fortifications outside the city, there are not many troops left in the city, so it can not resist the onslaught of more than 100,000 tiger and wolf divisions, in less than half an hour, there are attacking troops to break through the defense of the Japanese army, and attack into the city of Xingxian City, which is filled with gunpowder smoke and fire.

At this time, more than 40 Japanese fighters and bombers that had taken off from the direction of Jinzhou finally arrived at the Xingxian battlefield, and from a bird's-eye view from a high altitude, they found that the entire Xingxian battlefield was full of wolf smoke, the flames were soaring into the sky, and the thick smoke of gunpowder covered the original appearance of the ground.

As the flight altitude decreased, they slowly discovered that the ground was full of charging Chinese soldiers, and they were all over the mountains and fields, in groups, and the momentum was terrifying.

"Baga, these damned Chinese soldiers, fire immediately and kill them!" When a leader of the team, the devil Dazuo pilot, saw that the ground position and even the city defense of Xingxian County had been broken through by the enemy, he couldn't help but be furious, and immediately ordered to open fire.

More than 30 Japanese fighters divided into several groups and opened fire on some of the dragon's teeth attacking troops on the ground, while more than a dozen bombers also began to drop bombs.

Some of the Dragon's Tooth soldiers couldn't dodge, and were hit by the devil's air raid fire, and fell. But soon, the attacking forces reacted, and the three anti-aircraft regiments directly under the integrated division quickly opened fire to intercept the Japanese fighters with intensive anti-aircraft fire.

Therefore, the air raid of the devils did not last long, and it was forced to be interrupted because the ground anti-aircraft fire became more and more intensive, and the dragon's tooth attack troops had broken into the city one after another, and the remnants of the Japanese army in the city were strangled together.

After losing a few fighters, the devils began to return, because their air raids could no longer have an effect, rather than die in vain, it is better to evacuate decisively, maybe they can survive until they return, after all, the devils are also people, there is hope to live, no one wants to die.

Having lost the threat of aerial firepower, the attacking troops of the Dragon's Tooth were no longer restrained, and the battalions and regiments intensified their attacks one after another, and in groups, they launched a final onslaught towards the county seat.

After a fierce battle, thousands of Japanese troops were annihilated in Xingxian City by the Dragon's Tooth Army, which had an absolute superiority in numbers and equipment, and the Japanese 7th Division was severely damaged, and only a few hundred remnants of devils took advantage of the chaos to flee the Xingxian battlefield.

After capturing Xingxian, Liu Yidao sent a telegram to report to Qiao Youhua and Jiang Haidong, while directing the troops to continue to advance northward, and the tanks and armored troops took the lead, and soon caught up with the remnants of the devils who fled from Xingxian, and after easily annihilating them, they continued to advance to the defensive depth of the Japanese army's defense line in the western Liaoning corridor.

Within three days, the elite of the 100,000 army followed closely behind the armored troops, pushing all the way, and within three days, they connected the four counties of Xingcheng and Suizhong, recovering hundreds of miles of lost territory, and the troops pointed directly at Huludao (Jinxi) and Jinzhou.

In the end, less than 100 miles away from the county seat of Jinxi, they encountered the 12th and 11th divisions of the Japanese reinforcements, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides, and the Japanese army consisted of two A divisions and three B divisions and mixed brigades, plus more than 100,000 puppet Manchukuo troops, and the total strength reached more than 200,000.

It was far more than the 130,000 dragon tooth army commanded by Liu Yidao, so the battle between the two sides entered a white-hot stage from the beginning.

At the same time, in the territory of Rehe, the regular army of the Eighth Route Army of the 100,000 Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region quietly assembled, and then crossed the Great Wall, suddenly went out of the pass, and launched a counteroffensive to the Japanese theater.
