'Blitzkrieg' in the East

The reinforcements from Harbin, a field division, a total of 30,000 troops, with a large amount of heavy equipment, dragged dozens of kilometers of marching columns, and just walked out of the city gate less than a day ago, they were blocked by a river...

"Baga, why did the troops stop advancing, what happened ahead?" Seeing the troops that had suddenly stopped advancing, Lieutenant General Suzuki, the commander of the Japanese division, who was walking in the middle of the entire ranks, asked loudly to the chief of staff beside him.

"The commander of the division, the humble position is not clear. However, I believe that someone from the avant-garde brigade will soon come to report what happened. Faced with the question of the division commander, the chief of staff shook his head helplessly and replied.

Sure enough, in less than two minutes, a cavalry ensign quickly stopped in front of Lieutenant General Suzuki. Then, panting and reported: "Your Excellency, the division commander, the bridge ahead has been damaged, and the troops cannot continue to advance. The commander of the brigade asked the division command to immediately send engineering units to rebuild the bridge and provide the passage of the troops..."

"Nani? The bridge was damaged ... How is it possible, as far as I know, that the bridge was still in good condition a few days ago, how could it suddenly be destroyed. Chief of Staff, inform the commander of the Engineer Wing Company, Nagagawa Nakasa, let's go to the front together? Lieutenant General Suzuki's brow furrowed immediately. Then, facing the chief of staff beside him, he opened his mouth and ordered.

"Ha Yi, I'm going to give the order right away.," replied the chief of staff decisively.

Ten minutes later, Lieutenant General Suzuki and other senior officers came to the front of the entire queue. The scene in front of him, sure enough, as the second lieutenant cavalry said, the stone bridge with a length of about ten meters, at this moment, except for a lone pier, standing in the middle of the river, not even the shadow of the bridge deck was seen. Just when Lieutenant General Suzuki's face was questioning, the captain of the avant-garde brigade was already standing in front of the division commander for the first time.

"Your Excellency, the commander of the reporting division, after investigation, it has been revealed that the bridge was blown up by a large number of explosives...."The team leader hurriedly reported.

In response to Captain Shosa's answer, Lieutenant General Suzuki nodded. Turning around, he asked Nakasa, the commander of the engineer wing behind him, "Yongchuan-kun, how long will it take for your engineer wing to rebuild a bridge on the basis of the broken bridge, which can allow the troops and the heavy weapons behind them to pass?" ”

After carefully observing the bridge in front of him, which had become a ruin, Nakasa Nakasagawa replied affirmatively: "Your Excellency, the bridge in front of you is dozens of meters long. In addition, the puppets carry a lot of heavy equipment. In order to get this heavy equipment through, it will take at least four hours for our engineering wing to complete the mission...."

"Nani? Four hours, I heard you right! Yongchuan-kun, this is a bridge less than ten meters long, and it will take four hours for your engineer wing. You have to give me a good reason, otherwise, I will think that you are not capable of continuing to be the commander of the engineer wing? Facing Nagagawa Nakasa in front of him, Lieutenant General Suzuki asked angrily.

"Ha Yi, Your Excellency the Division Commander. At present, the temperature in Heilongjiang has reached more than ten degrees below zero. In the face of such low temperatures, our soldiers simply could not go into the water for construction. Otherwise, you will immediately lose your combat effectiveness due to frostbite. This has brought great difficulties to the bridge building of our engineer wing, so the entire progress of the bridge building has to be delayed for two hours, and I ask for your forgiveness from the division commander...."Nakasa Nakasa Nagagawa quickly explained.

"Yaga, the cunning Shina man, must be their ghost. Knowing that we were going to reinforce Mudanjiang, he used such a despicable strategy to delay our march. Bage Yalu, bastard....what are you still doing in a daze, immediately organize sappers to build bridges. Within four hours, if you can't complete the task, you just wait to apologize to His Majesty the Emperor...-" After a burst of anger, Lieutenant General Suzuki roared loudly at Nagagawa Nakasa, who was beside him.

"Ha Yi, I promise to complete the task......." Seeing the division commander with an angry face in front of him. Nakasa, who received the order, rushed towards his troops as if he were fleeing.

Looking at Nakasa Nagagawa, who was leaving in a hurry, Lieutenant General Suzuki turned to the chief of staff beside him and continued to order: "Chief of staff, since this bridge has been destroyed by the cunning Shina people. Well, it is certain that in the next march, all the remaining bridges, should have been destroyed. It seems that the order of the command, we will not be able to complete it on time. Immediately, in my name, draft a telegram to report all the situations faced by our army to the headquarters and ask for operational guidance...", "Ha Yi, I will do it immediately....", the chief of staff replied decisively.

In this way, under the disturbance of the cavalry battalion, the Japanese reinforcements had to march at a speed of one or twenty kilometers a day, like a snail, to slowly approach their ultimate goal, Mudanjiang City. However, just as the Japanese reinforcements, under the harassment of the cavalry units, were on an unspeakably miserable march, the three main divisions of the Fourth Corps, under the cover of a large number of siege artillery, had already launched an attack on the Mudanjiang ....

In the face of the Fourth Corps, which had superior firepower and strength, the Japanese defenders defending the Mudanjiang River could only be beaten passively. Every day's battles are fought with the lives of countless soldiers, blocking the formula of the Northeast Field Army and barely holding the position.

However, at this very moment, the 1st Division of the Panzer Corps, which had been ordered to attack, had already adopted the 'lightning tactics' proposed by Germany under the personal command of Commander Su Yu and under the assault of a tank regiment and more than 30 medium tanks. Successfully broke through dozens of defensive lines arranged by the Japanese army on the line from Gaizhou to Dalian. One night ago, it advanced more than 100 kilometers and successfully surrounded Wafangdian, the second military town in front of Dalian.

For a time, one telegram after another for help was transmitted from the Japanese headquarters in Dalian to the headquarters of the Kwantung Army like snowflakes.

The headquarters of the Kwantung Army, a sudden counteroffensive launched by the Northeast Field Army. The atmosphere in the entire headquarters once again became tense. Commander General Mitsu has not stretched out his frowns since he learned the news of the Northeast Field Army's meritorious service.

Early in the morning, just as the commander appeared at the door of the war room with a frown on his face. The communications staff officer appeared in front of General Mitsu every time in a very 'timely' manner. Then, with an anxious face, he said: "Your Excellency, the Dalian Garrison Headquarters has an urgent telegram...."

In front of him, the communications staff officer, who had not informed him of any good news for several days, Mitsu's frowning brows every time he was even deeper. Facing the communications staff officer in front of him, he ordered without anger.

"Hayi. Your Excellency Commander, the Dalian garrison unit reports: The Northeast Field Army mobilized a large number of armored troops, took advantage of the surprise advantage of the tank cluster, and in just one night, successfully broke through the dozens of defensive lines arranged by our army along the highway and successfully advanced its own front to the Wafangdian area. At present, an infantry wing and a garrison of 2,000 people stationed in Wafangdian have been surrounded by the armored cluster and follow-up troops of the Northeast Field Army..."Facing the angry commander in front of him, the communications staff officer hurriedly reported.

After listening to the report of the communications staff officer and quickly glancing at the combat sand table in front of him, Mitsu's face immediately turned pale every time. Then, facing the chief of staff behind him, he couldn't help but exclaim:

"How is it possible, the straight-line distance between Yingkou and Wafangdian has reached nearly 100 kilometers. Moreover, on this nearly 100-kilometer road, dozens of defense lines of our army were arranged. The armored cluster of the Northeast Field Army broke through the defensive depth of our army of nearly 100 kilometers in just one night. How is it possible, communications staff officers, immediately bring over all the battle reports sent by the Dalian headquarters. I'm going to see how our adversary manages to accomplish this almost impossible task...."

"Hayi, Your Excellency Commander...."The communications staff officer quickly took the order.

In less than ten minutes, dozens of battle reports appeared in the hands of General Mitsu Ishiro. After a quick reading of the telegram in his hand, he thought that the commander in front of him would be furious. However, surprisingly, the commander, who read the battle report in his hand, did not get angry. Instead, after a long sigh, he put his gaze back on the combat sand table in front of him....

"Your Excellency, Commander, what's wrong?" I saw the commander in front of him, whose face had changed drastically. The chief of staff, Lieutenant General Toshima Botaro, hurriedly opened his mouth and asked.

"Chief of Staff, I just feel that the Northeast Field Army's use of tank clusters this time to assault our army's defense line is very familiar. However, for a while, I couldn't think of it. Give you a telegram, and you can help me think about it too. I really didn't expect that all along, in our eyes, the cowardly and stupid Northeast Field Army would be able to come up with such a good tactic of using armored clusters to break through our army's defense line...."After a long sigh, the commander handed the telegram in his hand to the chief of staff beside him with a suspicious face, and said helplessly. After quickly reading the battle report in his hand, the face of Lieutenant General Toshima Botaro, Chief of Staff, also turned pale. Because, at this moment, he was also taken aback by the new tactics of the Northeast Field Army. However, after a short period of thought, Lieutenant General Toshima Botaro's face was shocked.

Then, he said to the commander in front of him: "Your Excellency, commander, maybe I have already guessed the source of this method of warfare..."

"Nani, tell me, what kind of tactic is this?" Hearing the answer of the chief of staff in front of him, Mitsu immediately looked at General Lang with a hint of anticipation on his face, and then asked the chief of staff in front of him.

"Hayi, Your Excellency Commander, as far as I know, this tactic used by the Northeast Field Army is called 'Blitzkrieg'. A classic tactic used during the German invasion of Bōlan and other European countries. Under the blow of this tactic, Bōlan and other countries, under the attack of German tank clusters, simply had no room to fight back. After holding out for less than a few days, the German armored group completely occupied the entire B Chief, replied.

"Nani? The German invasion of Bōlan, the tactics used by the armored group... How is it possible, how could the tactics used by the German armored cluster reach the ears of the Northeast Field Army, which was blocked by the news...."Under the reminder of the chief of staff beside him, General Mitsu also reacted at the first time. Then, he asked rhetorically with an incredulous face.

"Your Excellency Commander, since the Northeast Field Army has mastered this tactic, there is no point in us going on. I believe that the urgent need for our delay now is to find a way to solve the threat posed by the armored forces of the Northeast Field Army to our army and to secure Dalian and the port of Arthur. The port of Arthur must not be allowed to fall into the hands of the Northeast Field Army. Otherwise, the Northeast Field Army will safely cut off the sea communication between our Kwantung Army and the country..."Seeing the commander with a shocked face in front of him, Lieutenant General Toshima Botaro kindly reminded.

"Yo Xi, Chief of Staff, your reminder is very timely. Immediately convey my order, the air force, immediately attack, reinforce Wafangdian, must destroy the armored forces in the hands of the Northeast Field at all costs. At the same time, the telegraph ordered the defending troops of Dalian to attack immediately, and with the cooperation of the tank wing attached to it, they must block the offensive pace of the Northeast Field Army and ensure the safety of the entire Dalian. Otherwise, the commander of the Dalian garrison will directly cut himself to thank His Majesty the Emperor...."Under the reminder of the chief of staff, Mitsu immediately showed a hint of sharpness on the face of General Lang. Then, facing the chief of staff beside him, he ordered very decisively.

"Ha Yi, Your Excellency the Commander is wise...."Lieutenant General Toshima Botaro also knew the seriousness of the matter, and replied with a serious face.

After a night of rapid marching, the Guards Division, located directly behind the Panzer Corps, as well as the front enemy headquarters. Hurry up and hurry, and finally at about 8 o'clock in the morning, the division was held outside Wafangdian City to complete the encirclement of the entire Wafangdian defenders.

"Commander Su, you fought well. In one night, he rushed nearly 100 kilometers and broke through dozens of defensive lines blocked by the Kwantung Army. It's a good fight...."Seeing Commander Su Yu, who had been tested by the war and looked more mature, and had already shown the style of a general, Liu Hua said with a smile on his face.

"Report to the Commander-in-Chief. It's all your tactics and tactics that are well formulated. I really didn't expect that with the cooperation of armored infantry and heavy artillery, the tanks in our hands would have such great power. Commander-in-Chief, this battle has also opened my eyes....Now, the one thing I want to know most is, is there a specific name for this tactic you specified, Commander-in-Chief? Achieving such an unexpected result, which can be called a huge result, Su Yu's heart is obviously very happy. Facing Liu Hua, the commander-in-chief in front of him, he asked rhetorically with a jī expression.

"It's very simple, this tactic is called 'blitzkrieg' and belongs to our own blitzkrieg in China... In other words, the entire attack was as fast as lightning, so that our enemies did not have any time to react at all, and we had already entered their rear...."Regarding Su Yu's question, Liu Hua did not have any reservations, and said directly. After all, Su Yu in front of him is the only commander of the armored corps after his Northeast Field Army...

"Blitzkrieg....", after receiving the commander-in-chief's answer, Su Yu immediately fell into deep thought. After less than half a minute, a smile appeared on the corner of Su Yu's mouth. Then, he said with a moving face. "Commander-in-Chief, the name 'Blitzkrieg' is so apt. The whole offense was lightning fast. With the excellent assault ability of the tank group, it quickly broke through the Japanese defense line, and sent a large number of infantry into the rear of the Japanese position without the Japanese army reacting. With the cooperation of the infantry, quickly disrupt the entire position....Commander-in-Chief, oh I really admire you, you can imagine this tactic..."

"Hehe...."Regarding Commander Su Yu's answer in front of him, Liu Hua smiled embarrassedly. Then he spoke.

"Commander Su, this blitzkrieg was not proposed by me, Liu Hua. It was brought up by a German commander of armored forces. And the most important reason why the German armored cluster was able to occupy the entire Bōlan in a short period of time was the large-scale use of the armored cluster through blitzkrieg. Before the Bō Lan defenders could react, they quickly penetrated all the defenses of the Bō Lan defenders in front of them, disrupting their deployment....eventually, the entire battle was won..."

"I see. However, it is a pity that it was the Germans who proposed this tactic, and perhaps in my lifetime, I will not have the opportunity to discuss with him the operational ideas of the armored forces...."Hearing Liu Hua's answer, Su Yu's face immediately appeared frustrated.

"Commander Su, you don't have to worry, I don't have the ability to meet with this German officer. However, here, I assure you that in the future operations, I will definitely capture a few books on armored command, so that you can have a good understanding of the experience of European countries in the tactical command of armored weapons. After all, in terms of armored command, the countries of Europe have long been ahead of us. I saw Su Yu with a depressed face in front of him. Liu Hua hurriedly comforted.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, if there is a book on this subject, I will study it well. In the shortest possible time, raise yourself in the command of armored forces. In the shortest possible time, the armored corps will be brought into a new type of unit whose tactical level is not inferior to that of the German armored forces. Hearing the assurances of the commander-in-chief in front of him, Su Yu's face was immediately enveloped by the moving god sè, and he said excitedly.

"Commander Su, I believe that we will definitely realize this wish...-sooner or later, we will turn Germany's 'blitzkrieg' into our own 'blitzkrieg' in China...."Liu Hua replied.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief..."
