Since it is the call issued by Boss Yang himself, whether it is Yan Xishan or Yan'an, it is necessary to give face, and besides, in recent years, the North China coalition army has conquered everything and is invincible, and the Japanese can only be groundhogs, and with them, it is nothing more than fighting the water dogs, but they can get a good reputation for counterattacking the Northeast, who doesn't like to do such a cost-effective deal?

So Yan Xishan sent out two divisions, Chen Changjie's 72nd Division and Guo Zongfen's 71st Division, both under the command of Fu Zuoyi, these two divisions can be regarded as capable of fighting in the Jin army, especially Guo Zongfen is Yan Xishan's cronies.

As for the Eighteenth Group Army, there was a division, which is understandable, although they are a group army, but there are only three divisions, but this division still makes Yang Feng quite satisfied, and Yan'an directly sent Taizu's henchman, Lin Shuai's 115th Division.

However, because of the long distance, they have to delay for a while on the road, which is nothing, Boss Yang doesn't care about waiting a little longer, this counteroffensive is just a show, since it is a show, then we have to do a good job in the early propaganda work, for a time all the newspapers are the first, the second and two theaters will jointly launch a counteroffensive operation codenamed Thunder in the north, and even the second theater commander Yan Xishan first-class general, deputy commander Zhu De second-level general personally flew to Beiping, the same theater commander Zhu Peide first-class general, Zhang Zuoxiang, commander-in-chief of the Northeast Advance Army, was a first-class general, and jointly convened a military meeting to make arrangements for the operation.

Of course, at the time when the three first-class generals and one second-class general were playing mahjong together, the real operational plan was already in the newly built Joint Chiefs of Staff Building, a pentagonal building designed by Boss Yang himself, which was formulated by Major General Huang Baitao, who presided over the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and then voted and approved by the chiefs of staff of various departments.

There is nothing to plan for, from Jinzhou to Kailu. The standing strength of Guangrehe is more than 200,000, and it can be said that some of them are people, and it is enough to fight on the whole line, which is nothing more than dividing the main and secondary, and the north bank of the Daling River is in the nature of a feint, and it is enough to make a posture to hit Shenyang and scare Ling Karlong. The real focus is on Tongliao.

However, Tongliao is not easy to fight, after so many years, this original ordinary small city has long been built into a real fortress by the Japanese, three ring defense systems, which are all built with reference to the Maginot Line, a series of trenches connected with countless reinforced concrete bunkers, and even rotating turrets, and the perimeter is full of mines.

The defenders had in addition to two infantry divisions. In addition, there is a field heavy artillery brigade, which is even equipped with the latest 150 heavy cannons with a range of 25 kilometers, and the first mechanized brigade is stationed in Siping, which can attack attacking troops from the flank at any time.

"There is no place to be shortcut in this battle, you must fight with your life, with artillery, with bombs. Use a bayonet to tear open the shell of the Japanese tortoise!" At the joint meeting of the chief of staff, Boss Yang waved his fist and shouted.

Of course, this is just talk. According to the operational deployment, the main attack task will be taken care of by the Northeast Advance Army, plus the 29th Army and Sun Dianying's 41st Army, as well as Fu Zuoyi's 35th Army and the two divisions assigned to him by Yan Xishan. In addition, there is the 115th Division, since it is here to show its face, it is naturally to show it in the most important position.

The Pingjin Security Division dispatched an armored brigade, plus a newly formed field heavy artillery brigade, that is, the 100 130 cannons that Yang Feng newly got this time. Since it is a fortress offensive battle, it is natural to play with artillery, together with the main attack in the hands of the various armies, the troops besieging Tongliao alone have more than 300 heavy artillery pieces with a caliber of more than 105 mm, not counting mortars and anti-aircraft artillery, all the barreled artillery pieces add up to more than 1,000 guns, not to mention a Japanese cottage maginot with such firepower, even the original estimate can not bear it.

This is the northern line, as for the direction of Jinzhou, there is nothing to say, the Tang Ju Fifth Division, which has just entered the customs, although they are also incorporated into the Northeast Advance Army, but because of the complex composition, they act alone, Shang Zhen, He Zhuguo, and Pang Bingxun in North China are close to 200,000, which is enough, as for the main force of the security division and Han Fuyu and Yu Xuezhong, they have to prevent the Japanese army from landing in Shandong.

All preparations for the war were carried out in full swing and with great fanfare, and the entire army and people in North China were in a state of great excitement, and even the Nanjing side sent the encouragement of the chairman of the committee, encouraging all armies in North China to work together to recover the northeast in one fell swoop and save the compatriots from the iron heel of the Japanese invaders.

Boss Yang's momentum, but the Northeast Ling Kalong was in a hurry, Yang Feng shouted the slogan so loudly, even the United States and Europe knew that the North China Coalition Army was going to counterattack the Northeast, and he was not a roundworm in the stomach of this thing, how did he know what was in his intestines? At this time, the strength of the Japanese army in the northeast was not only not strengthened, but even weakened a lot, and in order to land in Guangzhou, the Japanese War Department transferred the first division originally stationed in the northeast to the south.

So now there are only six divisions in the hands of Ryokarataka, after the last Battle of Rehe, the second, sixth, and eighth divisions of the Japanese army were all wiped out, although they were later rebuilt, but they have been transferred to the Shanghai front, and he only has the original four divisions in his hands, plus the two that were added later, and because he is now the commander of the Korean army, he can also mobilize the nineteenth and twenty-two divisions of the DPRK, in addition to the first mechanized brigade, the first, eleventh two mixed brigades, the first, third, and fourth three cavalry brigades, with a total strength of 200,000 Lu nodded, Now he has to face twice as many enemies, and all of them are like wolves and tigers, and they have beaten him all over the ground to find teeth, which makes General Ryokara Takashi white.

Fortunately, what surprised him was that the Manchurian army behaved very positively, of course, mainly because the upper echelons were positive, and the lower-level officers and soldiers were still half-dead, but this already made him very pleased, speaking of which, this was forced by the unscrupulous plundering of Longteng Company, and those traitors understood that these guys in North China were no worse than themselves in terms of greed, and if they really wanted to let them conquer the Northeast, they would not even give themselves the scum.

Therefore, when Yang Feng's army was in Lima, the Japanese puppet army in the northeast was also nervously deployed, waiting to give him a head-on attack.

But haven't you waited for Yang Feng to start here? In fact, the Huangpu River front has been abandoned by them, but they used the Zhapingjia defense line that the bald men had worked hard to build, and the western front was also blocked by the Chinese army at Huzhou and Lin'an. Because of the supply of the town harbor, the defense is extremely tenacious.

Wuxing, on the south bank of Taihu Lake, at the northern end of Tianmu Mountain, this ancient Jiangnan town, has now become like a Shura field, fighting for several months. From the Japanese attack, the Chinese army defended, to the current Japanese army defended, the Chinese army attacked, at least 100,000 corpses on both sides of this ancient land, the rotting corpses could not be cleaned up, the degraded blood made the soil take on a dark red color, the white bones with sludge could be seen everywhere like broken branches, and even the discarded guns were rusted in the rain.

In charge of the front-line operations in Wuxing were the cronies of the skinheads. Gu Zhutong, commander of the Third Theater, is now under his command, including the 22nd Group Army of the Sichuan Army Deng Xihou, which has the strongest attack power, Zhongyang is Jiang Dingwen's Fourth Group Army, and Shangguan Yunxiang's Fifth Group Army, the strength of which is not abundant, but even so, it is still unable to break through the defense line of the first and eighth divisions of the Japanese army, of course, this is also related to Deng Xihou's desire to fight hard with the Japanese. He was much more treacherous than Janssen, and most of the time on the battlefield was perfunctory.

In fact, with the strength of his department. If you really want to fight, the first division and the newly formed eighth division really can't stop him, but even so, Gu Zhutong is also grateful to him, before the Japanese offensive stage, it can be said that the Sichuan army has relied on the Sichuan army to turn the tide for him several times, without the 22nd and 23rd Group Army, the Huzhou defense line would have allowed the Japanese army to break through.

But now there is no need for the Sichuan army. Because the bald guy's killer weapon arrived, more than 300 Tiger tanks, accompanied by a brigade of the teaching corps, surged towards the Japanese position in front like a torrent of steel in the cold autumn rain.

"Chariots!" The Japanese soldiers, who had been immersed in the muddy water of the trenches for almost a month, immediately let out a frightened cry. Immediately after the sound of the fire of the anti-aircraft guns, the armor-piercing shells hit the front of the Tiger tank with a hollow-breaking roar, and then were bounced away by the hard alloy armor and flew away without a trace, and then the tank turret was seen turning, and the four- or seven-millimeter shells quickly blew up one battle anti-aircraft gun after another.

The infantry accompanying the attack, one by one, hid behind the tanks, holding the semi-automatic rifles in their hands, and fired dense bullets at the Japanese troops on the defensive line, in the rear of the tank group, Yang Mingchuan, who was hanging the rank of major general, was putting his head out of the turret, holding the radio microphone in his hand and shouting loudly, on another tank not far from him, Qiu Qingquan, the commander of the First Armored Division, stared at the front with a nervous face, and whenever a tank was hit by the battle defense artillery, he immediately showed a worried expression, and then he would be relieved that the tank was intact.

"Division commander, this speed is too slow, we must go faster, let the infantry run behind and rush through the Japanese defense line!" Yang Mingchuan turned his head and yelled at him, his current identity is the chief of staff of the First Armored Division, and in his opinion, a tank with an off-road speed of more than forty climbs forward like a turtle like this, which is simply an insult.

Qiu Qingquan has always been obedient to his words, in a sense, he is actually this guy's apprentice, the entire First Armored Division was taught by Yang Mingchuan, and even the infantry and tan coordination tactics of the teaching corps were also taught by this guy.

With Qiu Qingquan's order, more than 300 tanks accelerated at the same time, really like a fierce tiger rushing on the soft ground, the infantry behind had to start trotting to follow, as the distance approached, the most effective weapon of the Japanese army, those with explosives strapped to the body, the standing team finally appeared, these shirtless guys with explosives strapped to their bodies, one by one roared out of the trench, but then were torn apart by the accompanying infantry with dense bullets.

However, hundreds of members of the team charged together, and there were still one or two fish that slipped through the net, and a Japanese soldier finally rushed to the front of the tank, and saw a suitable angle to pull the explosive bag and was about to pounce on the tank that had stopped, but at this time the tank suddenly fell backwards, and the excellent performance of the twin engine and hydraulic gearbox was instantly reflected, and the unlucky Japanese soldier threw himself into the muddy water, he raised his head in amazement and then shattered his bones with an explosion.

The Tiger tank was also shaken by the explosion at close range, and then stopped, but at the same time, the two tanks bypassed it left and right, and rushed forward, and the accompanying infantry immediately climbed onto the tank, dragged the stunned members out of it, and the other group got into it to restart the tank and continue the charge.

More than 300 tanks soon flooded over the Japanese positions, these steel monsters mercilessly ran over the bodies of Japanese soldiers, and the anti-aircraft machine gunners standing on the turret fired wildly with large-caliber machine guns, and one Japanese fire point after another was blown away in the explosion of tank shells. The accompanying infantrymen carefully cleared the crushed Japanese positions with rifles in their hands and even the spinal cones on their guns.

After breaking through the first line of defense, the 1st Panzer Division did not stop at all, and then rushed to the second line of defense, like a huge battering ram. One by one, they smashed gaps in the Japanese positions.

The first appearance of the 1st Armored Division was perfect, without losing a single tank to break through the defense line of the 1st Division of the Japanese Army in Wuxing, the three group armies following behind quickly poured in from the open gap, the Japanese troops on the Huzhou defense line retreated on all fronts, and then the 1st Armored Division went straight to Jiaxing in Kenanxun.

Matsui Ishone, who was holding the Zhapingjia defensive line, had to retreat to Hangzhou on his flank, while the Chinese air force once again made a large-scale sortie and bombed the four pontoon bridges erected by the Japanese army on the Qiantang River at any cost.

The bald man's goal is clear, no matter what, he can't let his old friend retreat south of the Qiantang River.

On the Lin'an front, Yang Senbu also suddenly broke out at this time. Changing the somewhat sluggish spirit before, he quickly broke through the defense line of the 114th Division of the Japanese Army with a ferocious attack and rushed straight to Hangzhou.

As soon as the two divisions led by Matsui Ishine withdrew to Tongxiang, the 1st Armored Division, which was carrying the infantry away from the main force, gave him a blow to the waist, and the originally orderly retreat turned into a rout in an instant.

"Separated, all separated, battalion units, scattered. Don't care about the target, increase the speed as fast as possible. Rush to the place where there are Japanese, don't fall in love with the war after rushing up, now our task is to wash them up and crush them!" Yang Mingchuan stood on the tank and roared, he didn't care about discussing with Qiu Qingquan now, and directly passed his command. Anyway, he has no interest in developing under the bald guy, so naturally he doesn't care about those messy things.

Qiu Qingquan was excited at this time, how could he still care about this, he broke the four divisions of the Japanese army in less than a day, and the defense line that hundreds of thousands of troops had failed to break through after fierce battles. Let him rush away in less than half an hour, and no one in the Whampoa Department can do this credit.

The 1st Panzer Division immediately dispersed and rampaged on the flat Jiangnan Plain, the Tiger tanks of a little more than ten tons did not have any restrictions in such terrain at all, even the muddy rice fields could drive at high speeds, and in order not to be thrown off by these crazy tanks, the infantry sitting on them even had to tie themselves to the tanks.

They rushed well, but Matsui Ishine was in the mold, his two divisions had been completely scattered, and there was less than a squadron with him, and this old guy was sweating profusely, and even to the end of the line, he couldn't do it anymore, so he could only let one of his cronies run on his back.

But how can their two little short legs outrun the tank? A team of tanks had already been eyeing them, although the distance was too far to see clearly, but the commander of this tank battalion, Guo Shangyan, still sensed that this group of Japanese soldiers was very problematic, especially the guy who was carried on his back must be a big fish.

"Quick, speed up!" He put down his binoculars and shouted with a wave of his hand, and dozens of tanks immediately accelerated to the limit under the curses of the infantry, and rushed all the way up.

The shaking of the ground and the roar of the tank from behind were quickly noticed by the fleeing Japanese troops, and Matsui Ishine did not run at this time, so what good result would there be if he raced against the tank.

"Gentlemen, kill yourself to repay the emperor's kindness!" The old guy drew his saber and shouted, and the group of Japanese soldiers who followed him also broke out, and one by one began to look for a hiding place, waiting for the enemy with rifles, and even Matsui Ishine was lying in a mud puddle with a small southern pistol.

The actions of their side had already been clearly seen by Guo Shangyan with a telescope, he sneered and asked the tank to pause, and the accompanying infantry got out of the car, and then used the tank gun to bombard it first, and the tank restarted, slowed down and rushed up accompanied by the infantry.

A tank battalion plus almost two companies of infantry riding in tanks, against only one squadron of Japanese infantry, such a battle was simply crushing, and the Japanese soldiers without any anti-tank weapons could not stop the advance of these steel giants at all, and soon dozens of tanks rushed into the middle of the Japanese army, roaring and running over their bodies.

Admiral Matsui cowered in the mud puddle, peering at the raging tank with a dead face, then sighed and raised the small southern pistol in his hand to his head, gritting his teeth and pulling the trigger.

However, the gunshot did not sound, he looked at the jammed little south angrily, and was so angry that he threw his hand into the muddy water, and then groped for his saber, and just pulled out half of it, he was suddenly cut in half by a bullet on the opposite side.

"Don't move!" A soldier with a semi-automatic rifle held a gun to his head.

"Sir, catch an old devil!" Immediately afterwards, the soldier shouted at Guo Shangyan, who was parked next to him.

Guo Shangyan looked at Matsui Shigen, who was sitting on the ground covered in mud, and said, "Wipe the epaulettes on his shoulders."

The soldier agreed to wipe the mud on the epaulettes with a hand, and then he heard Guo Shangyan immediately scold: "CAO!" (To be continued......)
