Chapter 143: Battle of Changsha (4)

In the ceremony of entering the city held at the south gate of Changsha, Wang Yizhe did not ride a car or horse, but entered Changsha on foot with the soldiers of the 25th Army of the Youzhou Army. The pure infantry entered the city, and there was not even a single tank or armored car, which disappointed the people who were gathered on both sides of the avenue, waiting to see the ironclad monsters of the Han army.

There was a slightly older mouth, "These are those heavenly soldiers and gods who defeated the little devils, the Han Emperor?" Why don't I think it's as good as the little devils? ”

Indeed, although in the Battle of Tanjiashan, the 1st Guards Division completely annihilated the Japanese tank division, but the next battle was not as easy as imagined, and the continuous battles made the uniforms of the officers and men of the 25th Army not so neat.

Gangmura Ningji is a famous general in a hundred battles, and the Japanese army on the southern front is also an elite division, the Sendai 2nd Division and the Kumamoto 6th Division are equally famous, plus the Tokyo Guards Division, which has retreated from Guangzhou strategically and has not lost its strength, two divisions of the Japanese Army, and Youzhou Army, 77th Army and 1st Guards Division, in Xiangtan, Zhuzhou, and even in Lianhua and Yijiawan, which are not in danger to defend, and they have fought bloody battles repeatedly. After the wrong use of the chariot division and the sheep to the tiger's mouth, Gangcun changed his strategy and adopted a trapezoidal defense, preferring to sacrifice a part of the infantry and use artillery to destroy the mechanized troops of the Han army in front of the breakthrough.

A squadron, or even a brigade, in exchange for the opportunity to carry out concentrated fire coverage by artillery in the rear. Many Japanese soldiers were not killed by the enemy, but were buried by their own artillery fire and Han tanks. This kind of cruel tactics can be said to have brought the spirit of "bushido" to the extreme, but no matter how good the tactics are, they can't make up for the huge gap in military strength between the two sides, just like in the early days of the war of aggression against China, **** went forward and followed but still couldn't resist the Japanese army with more advanced equipment. Under the 24-hour monitoring of the Royal Air Force, all the artillery positions of the Japanese army became disposable items, and they died at sight!

Occasionally, the Japanese echelon defense was successful, attracting the assault 77th Army armored forces to a smaller offensive range, and then the defending Japanese army summoned artillery fire to cover the position, giving great damage to the 77th Army tanks and armored vehicles, while the H36 Howler medium-range bombers deployed at the surrounding airfields would take off in time to destroy the Japanese artillery positions exposed in the shelling. What made Gangcun Ningci even more desperate was another Han army unit - the 101st Air Cavalry Division, whose predecessor was the 101st Regiment of the Garrison formed during the period of the Golden City of Kalgoorlie, and the starting unit of Hans, the commander of the garrison corps.

This is the first unit in the Han army to be equipped with WZ-10 Falcon helicopter gunships, and for the ownership of this batch of special gunships, Jiang Yunzhi and Hans, the commanders of the Guards Corps, also had a big red face. In the end, it was His Majesty's decision that the Army Aviation Force should be formed in the garrison first.

So far, the WZ-10 Falcon has only been equipped with this division, and the weapons produced outside the base have all faced the same problem: production capacity and improvement.

In particular, the special armed helicopter, a new type of equipment that is only equipped by the army of the Han Empire in the world, has been a problem since it was designed and entered the factory assembly. However, the new weapon that appeared on the Falcon for the first time -- the honeycomb rocket -- was powerful, whether it was an armor-piercing type or a shotgun type, which made Jiang Yunzhi drool. It's just that in Zhong Yi's heart, the base weapons are only equipped with the Red Guard Corps, and the principle of giving priority to ordinary troops for other normally developed weapons has not changed, unless ...... Unless the war is really unfavorable enough to break this principle, Jiang Yunzhi knows very well that it is difficult to appear at that time.

The 101st Division of the Garrison Corps joined the Northern Group Army, which is still a recent thing, Ye Zhiqiu understands that His Majesty wants to use the Chinese battlefield as a weapon testing ground. All kinds of new weapons that have not been tested on the battlefield will gradually appear on the Chinese battlefield. But this is an absolute disaster for the exhausted little devils.

The WZ-10, which swooped down at the treetops, was like a falcon pounceing on a rabbit, rendering all the Japanese planes useless. Even if it's a bomber dive, there has to be a problem of hit rate, right? But the Falcon Wuzhi's rockets have Eagle Eye navigation, and even a single soldier pit can accurately hit, not to mention any bunker trenches, and each Falcon can carry forty rockets, which made the Japanese army suffer.

"The 1st Armored Guards Division, the 101st Air Cavalry Division, Baga! The troops in South China are the real air-ground joint breakthrough. Holding his glasses, the much haggard Gangcun Ningci envied the commander of the Han army opposite. As one of the three feathered blacks, Okamura is still far superior to other Japanese commanders in terms of knowledge, "If there is no shortcut to quickly upgrade equipment, our imperial army will no longer have the strength to fight with the Han army." If it continues to delay and the blood of the imperial warriors is spilled in China, Manchuria and Korea will be worried. ”

Gangcun Ningji hesitated for a long time, but still did not write those four words at the end of the telegram to the base camp: The homeland is worried.

The entire southern front was defeated, and the Sendai Division had been beaten by the 101st Air Cavalry Division, and the little devils were staring at the top of their heads when they even lay down in the trenches and fired. It's just that they don't know that the helicopter gunship has a strong attack power, but the workload of maintenance and support is greater. After a full-scale attack, the engineers need to be busy for at least a few days to ensure that the falcon does not suddenly fall when it flies again, just like the falcon in the wild, it will waste a lot of physical strength after each pounce, and need to squat on the top of the mountain to rest for a long time.

But even if Gangcun Ningci knew the defects of the Han army's helicopters, he didn't dare to gamble anymore, and gambled with the lives of the remaining more than 200,000 Japanese troops in the Changsha area. The Zhu-Hunan defense line was broken through, and it was meaningless to hold Changsha, once trapped, with the absolute air superiority of the Han army, the Japanese army would have no escape.

It is wise to gather troops and take advantage of the fact that the armored forces of the Han army have not yet penetrated the rear, and concentrate on attacking the weaker **** defense line and breaking the encirclement.

The Chinese Dispatch Army Command in Nanjing also agreed to Gangcun's breakout plan, authorizing it to take full command of all Japanese forces around Changsha.

Quickly defeating the 15th Army in Chongqing, which was wedged like a nail into Hunan and Hubei, capturing Yueyang, and opening up the northern section of the Guangdong-Hankou Line was the best way to withdraw the Japanese troops around Changsha to Wuhan. But what Gangcun can see, can't Ye Zhiqiu and Wang Yizhe see? Commander of the Ninth Theater Xue Yue, can't you see it?

When Changsha was not broken and the 25th Army was fighting Lotus, Wang Yizhe had already sent a telegram to the chairman in the name of the General Headquarters of the Allied Forces in the Chinese Theater, asking the **** to adjust the defense, make every effort to reinforce Yueyang, and block the Japanese army in Xiaoxiang.

The victory of the Anti-Japanese War was in sight, and the chairman of the committee also came to the spirit, and ordered Chen Cheng, the most capable general under his command, to quickly mobilize elite German mechanics and Han mechanics, and went down the river, taking the public security, crossing Jiangling without entering, and the starry night was rapidly relaxed, and reinforcing Yueyang City on the shore of Dongting Lake.

He also telegraphed Xue Yue: After several years of resistance against Japan, he finally won a big victory. Wangboling fights hard, sticks to the Hunan border, don't let the Japanese escape!

Xue Yue called back: Wen Xi's past, I dare not forget! Our generation of soldiers cannot resist the enemy outside the country and cause the people to be displaced. Today's great enmity is hopeful, and Yue Zidang led all the soldiers of the Ninth War Zone to stick to their positions. Conscience and blood, vow to live and die with Yueyang!

-- Wen Xi's past: A man-made devastating fire that occurred in Changsha in the early morning of November 13, 1938. In response to the Japanese invasion, the Kuomintang authorities adopted a scorched earth policy and formulated a plan to burn Changsha. But before the plan was officially implemented, a series of accidental factors made the fire completely uncontrollable, which eventually led to the death of more than 30,000 people in Changsha, more than 90% of the city's houses were burned, the economic loss was about 1 billion yuan, and the ancient city of Changsha with a history of more than 2,000 years was destroyed.

The fire made Changsha, along with Stalingrad, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the worst-devastated city of World War II. It is one of the three major tragedies in the history of the Chinese War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, along with the Huayuankou embankment burst and the Chongqing air-raid shelter tragedy.

(The paragraph of the Wenxi fire is quoted from the Internet, I am very puzzled, there is no Nanjing for the three major tragedies???? Or is it that the tragedy is specifically aimed at one's own people and harming one's own people? )
