Chapter 1075: Out of the Battle
After listening to Jiang Haidong's words, Qiao Youhua said with a smile: "Haidong, you are a little worried, that's right, the Japanese army does have more than 200,000 troops in the entire South Manchuria, and at least 100,000 heavy troops have been deployed in the Liaoning West Corridor, but so what? Without air supremacy, in the face of the powerful firepower of our army's German armorers, and without psychological preparation, how long can they resist?
Moreover, have you forgotten how the Maginot Line was breached, so there is no line of defense in this world that cannot be broken! ”
Jiang Haidong suddenly came to his senses: "You mean, send a detachment of teachers to make a detour through the Western Liaoning Corridor?" ”
Qiao Youhua nodded and said: "That's right, now Rehe is already under the control of our Eighth Route Army, and while we are attacking head-on, we will send a partial division of Rehe to attack Shenyang directly, so that the Japanese army's defense line in the Liaoning West Corridor will be self-defeating!" Besides, our 100,000 elite main forces will not be idle, and when the devils are attacked by the enemy and the army's morale is unstable, it is the time to completely annihilate them, and kill the more than 100,000 elites of the Kwantung Army in the Liaoning West Corridor, and then it will not be a problem to recover the entire Liaoning, the most important thing is that we have air supremacy now, and with the strong offensive capabilities of our ground forces, it is perfectly combined and seamless. ”
"Then what do you plan to send that unit to serve as the partial division this time and attack Shenyang in a roundabout way?" Jiang Haidong asked.
"This partial division is not sent by us, but by friendly troops from the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, and we only need to provide them with air fire support when they need it." Qiao Youhua said.
"Have you negotiated with the head of the headquarters?" Jiang Haidong asked in surprise.
"No, but I believe in the strategic vision of the leaders of the Central Committee and the General Headquarters, and they will definitely send effective troops to take the opportunity to attack the Liaozhong region." Qiao Youhua said with a firm face, the reason is very simple, with the strategic vision of Chairman Mao and the leaders of the headquarters, how could they not see this? Therefore, in this battle, the Dragon Tooth Corps only needs to fight a frontal attack.
Maybe the friendly troops of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region who attacked from Rehe will reach Shenyang City one step ahead of them!
As mentioned before, the weapons produced by the arsenal of the Dragon's Tooth Column have long been able to fully meet the needs of the previous combat units of the Dragon's Tooth Column, and the output has increased over time, and in the past two years, in addition to high-tech equipment such as tanks, heavy artillery, and armored vehicles, it is still being given priority to supplying the Dragon's Tooth Column itself.
The rest, such as rifles, pistols, light and heavy machine guns, small-caliber mortars, howitzers, and a large amount of ammunition, were directly transported to the surrounding Eighth Route Army base areas, and at least 100,000 fraternal troops were armed.
With so many weapons and equipment supplemented, the Eighth Route Army of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region directly expanded its army by 100,000, and the level of weapons and equipment of these 100,000 regular troops was no less than that of ordinary Japanese troops.
The most important thing is that the Eighth Route Army has received the enthusiastic support of hundreds of millions of people in the provinces of North China, and with this, their combat effectiveness has increased a lot.
Therefore, if the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region sends troops to attack southern Liaoning and central Liaoning with Shenyang as the purpose, it will definitely work.
In fact, the elite troops of the Kwantung Army were also deployed in the western Liaoning corridor facing the Longya Corps, and the border with Rehe was basically garrisoned by ordinary Japanese troops and a large number of puppet troops from Manchukuo.
Their combat effectiveness was no stronger than that of the Eighth Route Army of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region.
After a while, the guards and orderlies finished setting up the headquarters, Qiao Youhua and Jiang Haidong sat firmly in the central military tent, and began to use radio and wireless telephones to communicate with the three A divisions and two tank divisions and other directly subordinate troops to understand the progress of the troop assembly.
In the evening, all the troops had quietly assembled inside and outside Shanhaiguan, and the Falcon Flying Regiment had also completed the transfer to Qinhuangdao Airport.
After everything was ready, Qiao Youhua ordered the soldiers to rest on the spot for one night, after all, they must be tired after gathering and transferring in for several days, and wait until tomorrow after dawn, and then go out of the customs, and then the Air Force Falcon Flying Regiment will also be dispatched at the same time to carry out air raids on the Japanese airfields in Jinzhou, Huludao, Dalian and other places.
There was silence all night, and soon the sky was bright. Under the cover of nearly 400 tanks and armored vehicles, 100,000 elite Longya soldiers brazenly left the pass and swooped down towards the Japanese defense line dozens of miles away, while at the same time, more than 130 fighters and bombers took off one after another, forming three air formations, and flew towards the Japanese airfields in Dalian, Jinzhou, and Huludao respectively.
Ogawa Jing was an ordinary second lieutenant officer in the Kwantung Army, he was born in a civilian family, all by virtue of his later admission to the Imperial Army Non-commissioned Officer School, and after graduating with good grades, he became a midshipman officer, and after several years of tempering, he finally became a second lieutenant in the army.
Ogawa Jing's wing is subordinate to the 7th Division of the Kwantung Army, and it is also a first-class division, with a total of 30,000 or 40,000 people, relatively sophisticated weapons and equipment, and a large number of long-trained veterans and grassroots officers from non-commissioned officer schools, but the only drawback is that this 7th Division has hardly fought any actual combat.
However, as the only remaining division of the 17 permanent divisions of the army today, the 7th Division was still pinned on by the Kwantung Army Headquarters and deployed in Xingxian County, the forefront of the confrontation with the Longya Corps in Shanhaiguan.
Xingxian is located 60 miles outside the Shanhai Pass, is the core of the first line of defense of the Japanese army in the western Liaoning corridor, the Japanese 7th Division is mainly based on the two rivers in Xingxian County, to build a defensive position eight kilometers wide, six or seven kilometers deep.
Among them, the headquarters of the 7th Division is located in the county seat of Xingxian County.
The devils are on both sides of the two rivers outside the city, and they have built a large number of bunkers and fortifications in Xingxian County, and in addition, there are a large number of tunnels, which are all built by the devils to build for them by the local people, and when the devil's fortifications are completed, the people who were captured by the devils have been tortured by them.
It can be said that the fortifications of the devils in the entire western Liaoning corridor were built with the blood and lives of millions of people outside the border.
Because the Dragon's Tooth Corps has been busy attacking Shandong and East China, it has basically not committed any crimes with the Kwantung Army in the past nearly a year, and only the original 12th Division came to attack Shanhaiguan, which was defeated by the Dragon's Tooth Column and suffered heavy losses.
The current 12th Division is stationed in Jinzhou, which is the rearguard of the 7th Division, and once the Xingxian front line is attacked, the 12th Division and several other brigades and a large number of puppet Manchukuo puppet troops will immediately be dispatched to reinforce them.
Since there was no war before, Xiao Chuanjing, like many officers of the Kwantung Army, more or less relaxed his vigilance, and on weekdays, he took his squad to take turns on duty and patrol at the forefront every day, and after it was their turn to rest, they went to the county seat of Xingxian County to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble. Quiet? Woman.
