Chapter 1081: Recovering the Northeast
After the recovery of Jinzhou, Qiao Youhua instructed the signal troops to send a telegram to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and Yan'an to report the victory, and after the Yan'an side learned of the good news, it sent a telegram to the world through the propaganda department.
On the other hand, he ordered the front-line commander Liu Yidao to send a capable general to lead a detachment of divisions to immediately march to Dalian and Lushun, and after recovering this place, he turned to defense on the spot to prevent the Japanese army from reinforcing the Liaodong Peninsula by sea.
Liu Yidao personally led the main force to fight at the pass and marched from Jinzhou along the railway to Fengtian.
At the same time, the agents of the Shadow Guard and the Dragon Shadow Guard lurking in various parts of South Manchuria also followed Qiao Youhua's instructions and mobilized one after another, constantly attacking and destroying the transportation facilities, important strongholds and bases in the Japanese theater, so that the Japanese army was full of rumors and trees, and the progress of gathering troops was greatly slowed.
After receiving the order, Liu Yidao immediately dispatched 100 tanks and armored vehicles, 300 artillery pieces, and 30,000 infantry, led by the commander of the newly formed 2nd Division, Scarface, to leave Jinzhou and march towards Panjin, Yingkou and other places to recover the Liaodong Peninsula.
Liu Yidao himself left thousands of garrison troops, and personally led the remaining main force to attack Liaozhong, the southern barrier of Fengtian.
Nearly 100,000 dragon tooth troops hunted under banners, and the army was huge, advancing towards Liaozhong and Fengtian.
The headquarters of the Kwantung Army of the Japanese army was in chaos at this time, Jinzhou was lost, the 12th Division, the 7th Division and other units were either completely annihilated or disabled, and the most fatal thing was that the more than 100,000 Eighth Route Army that had fought from the side of Rehe had almost reached Fengtian City.
The reinforcements of Beiman were also attacked by the agents of the Eighth Route Army, and the speed of reinforcements was greatly reduced, and it was impossible to rush to Fengtian in time to support.
The most important thing is that under the current situation, even if reinforcements from North Manchuria arrive, the Kwantung Army may not be able to hold Mukden.
When the Japanese base camp learned that the situation in Manchuria had deteriorated, they reprimanded the commander of the Kwantung Army, Hideki Tojo, and ordered him to hold Manchuria or send him to a military court.
At the same time, Japan hurriedly dispatched part of its naval fleet to the Bohai Sea in an attempt to support the Kwantung Army in stabilizing the situation in South Manchuria.
However, the attacking troops of the Dragon's Tooth Corps moved much faster than the Japanese army, and the partial division troops attacking the Liaodong Peninsula were led by Scarface, under the cover of tanks, artillery and the aerial fire of the Falcon Flying Regiment, and recaptured Panjin and Yingkou in succession within three days, opening the door to the Liaodong Peninsula.
The Japanese army on the Liaodong Peninsula suffered heavy losses, retreated to Dalian and Lushun in a hurry, and even some devil commanders were already planning to escape from the Lushun military port by boat.
Tojo Hideki, a high-ranking soldier, was even more unbearable, and when Mukden was about to be besieged by the 200,000 Eighth Route Army and the Dragon's Tooth Corps, he actually fled the headquarters by plane in advance and fled to the Goryeo Peninsula.
Under the unified command of the command headquarters, the resistance forces of the Japanese army on the periphery of Fengtian were successively defeated by the Longya Corps and the troops of the Eighth Route Army, and not long after, the Fengtian Airport was also raided and occupied by a tank unit of the Longya Corps, dozens of aircraft and a large number of supporting materials were destroyed, and hundreds of Japanese troops were annihilated.
The Falcon Flying Regiment was not idle, and its troops were divided into two routes, dispatching fighter planes to attack the positions of the Japanese puppet army in Dalian, Lushun, and Mukden, and destroying many enemy fire points in conjunction with ground artillery fire.
Most of the threat was cleared for the ground offensive forces.
Qiao Youhua and Jiang Haidong also moved their headquarters to Jinzhou in time to facilitate the command of the Guanwai campaign nearby.
On the front-line battlefield, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, the sound of artillery rumbled, the flames soared into the sky, and countless dragon tooth soldiers fought bravely and bloodily, defeated the remnants of the Japanese puppet troops one after another, and soon completely surrounded Fengtian City, and then launched a comprehensive general attack on Fengtian City under the cover of artillery, tanks and aerial firepower.
Equipped with semi-automatic rifles and submachine guns, the soldiers shouted and roared, all over the mountains, braving the dense bullet rain of the Japanese puppet army, swarming up, after a bloody battle, most of the enemy's city defense troops were annihilated, and successfully broke into the city of Fengtian, and then started a street battle with the Japanese puppet army.
The agents of our army lurking in the city also took the opportunity to take action, united with people with lofty ideals in the city, attacked the Japanese puppet defeated army, and cooperated with the main siege force inside and outside, and defeated the Japanese puppet army.
Many puppet soldiers could not withstand the huge military and psychological pressure, and knelt on the ground and surrendered. Although the devils refused to surrender, they fell to the ground and died one after another under the fierce attack of the dragon tooth troops, tank armored units and a large number of elite infantry.
Six hours later, the Japanese troops in the city were basically wiped out by the Dragon Tooth Corps and the troops of the Eighth Route Army who participated in the siege, and the puppet army also surrendered one after another, and the important town of Mukden, which was finally recovered.
After Qiao Youhua got the news, he was overjoyed and said to Jiang Haidong: "Haidong, it seems that the situation outside the border has been decided, and the victory of the War of Resistance against Japan is in sight!" ”
Jiang Haidong nodded and said: "Yes, as long as we succeed in recovering the Northeast, the overall strength of our Eighth Route Army will increase explosively, no matter what happens to the European side, we are absolutely determined to resist the enemy outside the country!" ”
"Recapture the Northeast first, and then recover Jiangnan, and our mission will be almost completed." Qiao Youhua said meaningfully.
"Yes, big brother, when the war is over, I plan to do some small business, what are your plans?" Jiang Haidong understood the deep meaning of Qiao Youhua's words, and asked calmly.
"Of course, the four of us brothers lived in seclusion together." As a traverser, Qiao Youhua understood that with the recovery of the Northeast Heavy Industry Zone by the Eighth Route Army, the strength of the Eighth Route Army would grow to an unimaginable level, and when the Japanese invading army was driven out of the country, it was the time when the Kuomintang, the Communist Party, and the Civil War broke out.
And they are not fit and unwilling to get involved in the civil war. However, it is foreseeable that the Communist Party today is much stronger than at the same time in history, and the reunification of the country should not be too long.
As for Japanese imperialism, although it has not yet been attacked by atomic bombs and completely lost its war potential, the Chinese army has grown up in the troubled times, and with its own help, it is getting stronger and stronger, and it will not lag behind Japan, a small country, in military science and technology in the future.
With China's potential, once it develops, a small country like Japan will not be able to beat it to death.
Therefore, there is no need to worry about China being invaded in the future, with the growth of China's national strength and military strength, all the lost territory will be recovered, and then the headache will be small Japan.
…………
Three months later, the Dragon Tooth Corps and more than 100,000 Eighth Route Army swept through the entire Northeast with the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, annihilating hundreds of thousands of Japanese puppet troops, recovering all the land of Northeast China, and absorbing hundreds of thousands of puppet troops, making the total strength of the Eighth Route Army outside the pass exceed 500,000 in one fell swoop.
At this point, Northeast China, most of North China, and some parts of East China basically became areas controlled by the Eighth Route Army. Japanese imperialism lost hundreds of thousands of elite troops of the Kwantung Army, suffered further heavy losses in strength, and suffered a great loss of vitality, and was no longer able to launch any counteroffensive in a short period of time.
