740 Reconquest of the Northeast
Although the Huaxia Army did not know that the Japanese army had set up a trench death squad, it was ready to fight the Japanese army in the trench, and the machine guns of the artillery chariots were all aimed at the trench, and the soldiers who entered the trench before were also carrying guns, and when they saw the Japanese soldiers rushing over, they immediately opened fire, and the two sides started a fierce battle in the trench.
The trench death squad was soon killed under the blow of the superior firepower of the Chinese army, and two inclined planes were piled up in the trench one after another, this process took nearly half an hour, the fire on the Japanese position was gradually extinguished, and the aroma of barbecued meat wafted over the position, which was also mixed with the smell of burnt meat and the smell of gunsmoke, which was very strange.
Seeing that the flames were extinguished, the Japanese soldiers rushed over again, and the fire dragon chariot sprayed gasoline again, and ignited again, this time the gasoline was sprayed thirty or fifty meters behind the concrete breastwork, forming a flame belt dozens of meters wide, blocking the Japanese soldiers behind.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese did not dare to rush through the flames, the Malaysian truck rushed out of the trench and built an inclined plane under the concrete wall.
Under the cover of the artillery and chariots of the invasion, the charge of the Huaxia army was very smooth, and the Japanese soldiers had almost no ability to resist, and the defense line was quickly broken through by the Huaxia army, and the positions of the Japanese soldiers were pressed smaller and smaller, and on June 20, two days after the battle was launched, the Japanese army was completely compressed into Jilin City, and only 50,000 of the 120,000 Japanese troops were left at this time.
On 21 June, the Huaxia Army stopped its offensive, rested and replenished ammunition, and the battlefield was quiet for a while.
Since the east of Jilin City is the Songhua River, the Japanese army can completely retreat with the help of the Songhua River, march south along the Songhua River, and finally enter Korea.
The supporters of the retreat plan were mainly Kenkawa Yasunosuke, and the opponents were none other than Kazuo Chiyo.
At the discussion meeting, Kenkawa Yasunosuke and Chiyo Kazuo were at war, and the argument was very fierce, and Kenkawa Yasunosuke first said: "We must retreat now, there is no other choice. ”
Chiyo Kazuo said: "We must not retreat, first of all, there are many Japanese industrial and mining enterprises in Jilin City, and abandoning Jilin will cause a lot of economic losses, and secondly, withdrawing from Jilin means that we have completely lost the northeast of the Qing Dynasty, and we have fought a bloody war with Russia for two years, but in the end we have gained nothing." ”
"But we really can't hold Jilin, after the first two days of bloody battles, our troops are about to run out!"
"We can ask the Russian army for help, the Russian army is on the east bank of the Songhua River at this time, they will definitely cross the river to help us."
"Don't count on the Russians anymore, if they plan to help us, why didn't they come when we fought with the Huaxia army two days ago, they didn't want to watch us and the Huaxia army lose both, so that they could take the opportunity to pick the fruit."
Chiyo Kazuo and Kenkawa Yasunosuke were arguing, Nogi Noshinori coughed lightly, "Okay, you don't have to argue, I've decided, make one last attempt, Chiyo Kazuo, you cross the river immediately, find the commander of the Russian army, let them immediately send troops to rescue us, and tell them that if they don't send troops, we will be wiped out." ”
Chiyo Kazuo agreed, and Nogi Noshinori looked at Kengawa Yasunosuke again and said, "You go and prepare a retreat plan immediately, if the Russian army is not the opponent of the Huaxia Army, we can only retreat." ”
Kenkawa Yasunosuke also agreed, and Chiyo Kazuo acted separately, but the Russian army quickly agreed to send troops to support the Japanese army, but how to support, the Russian army did not inform Chiyo Kazuo, and the reason given was secrecy, Chiyo Kazuo felt that the Russian army was deliberately perfunctory, and was very disappointed.
On June 23, the resting Huaxia army launched another attack on Jilin City, and the Huaxia Army learned that there were no Qing people in Jilin City, and all Qing people had fled from the city before the war, so the Huaxia Army confidently and boldly carried out a carpet bombardment of Jilin City.
In order to reduce casualties, the Huaxia Army planned to shoot almost all the shells into the city, and the shelling continued until two o'clock in the afternoon. ”
Li Mingming's heart trembled suddenly, a 10,000-strong Russian army pounced, it is very likely to cut off the rear road of the Huaxia army, once this happens, the Huaxia army will face the Russian army and the Japanese army from both sides, so the Russian army must be blocked.
The more important significance of this battle lies in the fact that this is the first time that the Huaxia Army has engaged the Russian army in the northeast, and whether or not it can achieve victory will determine to a certain extent the trend of the future battles between the two sides.
At 10 o'clock in the evening of June 23, the Huaxia Army encountered the Russian army, and the Russian army seemed to be testing the Huaxia army, and the Huaxia army simply exchanged fire, and then retreated.
Nogi Noshinori in Jilin City quickly learned the news of the retreat of the Russian army, sighed heavily, and felt that Lao Maozi was really unreliable, so he began to retreat.
At this time, Nogi Noshinori didn't know that in fact, the Russian army did not intend not to help the Japanese army, but the Russian army was very frightened when it saw the artillery and combat vehicles of the Huaxia Army, so they retreated without a fight.
Of course, the Huaxia Army could not allow the Japanese to retreat smoothly, and sent troops to intercept and kill, and after several engagements, the Japanese withdrew to Korea after losing half of their forces.
There were also more than 10,000 Japanese civilians in Jilin, who, like Mukden, were workers, technicians, and family members.
Of course, Nogi Noshinori would not retreat with the civilians, who were very afraid of the Huaxia army, so they secretly crossed the Songhua River and ran to the territory of the Russians, seeking the protection of the Russians.
The Russians had an enmity with the Japanese, but now that the Japanese civilians had run into their hands, they were so happy that the Russian army immediately killed the old people and children, and the men were transported to Siberia to do hard labor, and the women stayed in the barracks as military prostitutes, and the Russian army had to "open meat" that night.
Some Japanese women would rather die than give in, kicking and biting the Russian soldiers, and the Russian soldiers gave them a violent beating on the spot, these Japanese women are honest.
In order to save their lives, some Japanese women took the initiative to sacrifice themselves to the Russian soldiers, serving the Russians as husbands, losing their dignity and shamelessness.
In order to manage these Japanese women well, the Russians also divided between them three hundred and sixty-nine and so on, the best ten rubles once, the worst one ruble once, the high rank can manage the low rank, the low rank can perform well, or they can rise to the top, these Japanese women then put their minds on how to squeeze out their compatriots and become high-ranking military prostitutes, and never want to run away again.
After the war, this incident also became an important weight for Japan to win sympathy, and together with the Japanese female soldiers after the Battle of Mukden, it was called "the two major tragic events in human history." As for the main cause of these two tragic events -- Japan's aggression against the territory of China, the Japanese did not mention it at all.
After the Huaxia army occupied Jilin, they immediately began to purge the nearby Japanese forces, because Jilin is relatively close to South Korea, so the Japanese colonized a lot of Korean people into the northeast, and established the "Hanmin Village", these Koreans rely on the support of the Japanese, often bullying the Qing people, and now the Qing people have the help of the Huaxia Army, and directly loot one after another Hanmin villages.
On 1 July, Lin Fei announced to the outside world that Jilin City had been liberated, and from the next day, Northeast China, which had been barbarously occupied by the Japanese for five years, returned to the embrace of China.
Since then, the northeastern part of the Qing Dynasty in the Second Nanyang World War has come to an end, and although half of the northeast is still occupied by the Russians, the war with the Japanese has ended.
The Northeast War with the Japanese included four major battles -- the Battle of Lushun Fortress, the Battle of Dalinghe, the Battle of Mukden, and the Battle of Jilin, and the four major battles, in which a total of 350,000 Japanese and South Korean troops were annihilated.
This battle is also a stage for the appearance of various new weapons, represented by individual rockets, chemical shells, and fire dragon chariots, among which chemical weapons have shocked the world, and the world has condemned Lin Fei's use of chemical weapons at the same time, they are concentrating on the study of their own chemical weapons, and this era is not like Lin Fei's era, countries around the world jointly signed a convention prohibiting the use of chemical weapons.
This war also made the Japanese army's young Zhuang faction officers grow rapidly, Kengawa Yasunosuke and Chiyo Kazuo are clear examples, and it was these people who fought against the Huaxia Army in the future.
Although Lin Fei announced the expulsion of the Japanese invaders and the recovery of the Northeast, Lin Fei was not much excited, because the vast land on the east bank of the Songhua River was still in the hands of the Russians, not to mention the land in the Outer Northeast.
Lin Fei secretly ordered the Huaxia Army to prepare to attack the Russian army, but if you want to attack the Russian army, you must make two preparations, first, prepare to cross the river; Second, make good preparations for logistics and transportation.
The Russian army has deployed strict river defense facilities along the Songhua River, and if the Huaxia Army wants to cross the Songhua River, it must have a large number of ferries, and these ferries cannot be ordinary ferries, but must have a certain combat effectiveness.
It was too troublesome to transport ferries with combat effectiveness from Huaxia to the Northeast, so Lin Fei's eyes were aimed at the factories in Jilin, and in the shelling of the Jilin Campaign, the Jilin Machinery Bureau was not damaged, and the Jilin Machinery Bureau was a factory with a large amount of equipment capable of producing steam ships.
