Regarding Mr. Lin's worries, Yang Zhen smiled and said, "Mr. Lin, you are too careful. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info I'm just using the Soviets as an analogy, after all, the war has been fought so far, and the Soviet Air Force can only be regarded as a tactical air force, but their land force is already the largest in terms of number and armor strength. ”

"After several years of bloody battles, most of the senior Soviet generals have moved and fought in large corps, and they are already extremely proficient. In particular, the use of tank clusters can be said to have reached the point of perfection. I'm just saying that if the German army on the Soviet-German battlefield at the moment is replaced, will we have the ability to contend with the Soviet army? ”

"I'm just using them as a metaphor, not to turn against them. Not to mention that we are also engaged in the war, even if the war is over, as long as they do not invade our land, I will not be guilty of offending these Soviets who turn their faces faster than books. ”

"Coupled with the Soviet army's tank tactics, it is still okay at the moment. But infantry tactics are purely made of people. Blindly fighting to the death, the victory of the infantry is hard to pile up. The Soviet casualties were so heavy that the stiff tactics of Soviet generals at all levels could not escape the blame. ”

It's just that when Yang Zhen said these words again, although his face was full of smiles all the time. But Mr. Lin obviously felt that his inner thoughts would definitely not be as happy as his face. As for the relationship between the Anti-Japanese Federation and the Soviets, Mr. Lin knew a little bit.

Mr. Lin knew that Yang Zhen had always disregarded the Soviets, and even rejected them from the heart. The domineering style of the Soviets played a very bad role between him and the Soviets. Therefore, Mr. Lin's words also have some reminder meaning. Of course, Mr. Lin doesn't know what Yang Zhen is doing now, if he knows, Mr. Lin is afraid that his first thought is that this guy is crazy.

Regarding Yang Zhen's disapproval, Mr. Lin, who said such a big thing very rarely, didn't say anything. But he was very politically sensitive, and finally said: "Comrade Yang Zhen, I hope you will behave yourself and don't do anything too out of line, lest the Central Committee will not even have a way to wipe your ass." ”

"A warrior like you is a priceless treasure in the war years. But in times of peace, your character will have to be restrained. Those of us want to talk about military affairs, but we also have to talk about politics. is still the same sentence, the way of the imperial general pays attention to both leniency and severity. Blindly being too harsh is not a good thing for dealing with the relationship between superiors and subordinates. ”

can make Mr. Lin, who has always been politically sensitive and rarely shows it in front of others, say these words, which shows his appreciation for Yang Zhen. Regarding Mr. Lin's kindness, Yang Zhen nodded slightly and accepted it humbly. After saying this, both Yang Zhen and Mr. Lin became silent.

Just when Yang Zhen and Mr. Lin had just finished talking, the two telegrams from Wang Guangyu and Tao Jingfei made Yang Zhen turn his attention to the map. It turned out that on the battlefield of Jinzhou, after a joint attack with the Jin-Cha-Ji troops on the Western Front, it was cut off from contact with the Fifth Army. The remnants of the Japanese Fourth Army, which had now all retreated to the line from Jinzhou to Huludao, suddenly abandoned the key points in and around Jinzhou City.

Before Wang Guangyu and the Jinchaji troops completed the siege of Jinzhou, they all withdrew to Huludao. The speed of its retreat was quite fast, and even the Japanese in Jinzhou City, as well as a large number of supplies, weapons and ammunition, could not be taken with them in time. The major factories in Jinzhou City are also coming and destroying.

Tao Jingfei reported that according to aerial reconnaissance, in order to avoid the attack of the anti-United Nations aviation, the Japanese naval ships and cargo ships in the harbor that were originally bound for the waters off Arthur suddenly disappeared last night, and it was temporarily impossible to find out their whereabouts. He has already dispatched planes to conduct reconnaissance and search in a large area along the waters of the Yellow Sea east of the Liaodong Peninsula and along the coast of North Korea.

After receiving these two telegrams, Yang Zhen's fingers tapped on the map, and he intuitively thought that these two things were definitely not isolated. At present, all the enemies of Jinzhou have withdrawn to Huludao, and Huludao is the only port in the entire western Liaoning at present. And all the ships of the Japanese Navy in Port Arthur, including cargo ships, suddenly disappeared, and it is strange that there is no connection between them.

Yang Zhen didn't have to think about this matter, and immediately understood that this was the Kwantung Army that was going to lose its pawn and protect the car. Abandon Liaoxi, which has become a dead place, and use the Japanese Navy's little money and fleet in Port Arthur. The remnants of the Fourth Army were transported back to the Liaodong Peninsula, preparing to regain control of the Liaodong Peninsula, or to concentrate their forces to defend Lushun.

That General Yamada Otosan and Lieutenant General Qin Yan Saburo, I'm afraid that this is a sudden illness and rushed to the hospital. In the absence of air superiority and a large number of ships to escort the ship, it was really thanks to these two people that the Japanese army could rely on such a small number of ships and unarmed transport ships to withdraw the entire Fourth Army to the Liaodong Peninsula.

After thinking about it, Yang Zhen drafted a telegram to Wang Guangyu and Tao Jingfei respectively. He clearly told Wang Guangyu to mobilize all the planes assigned to him and immediately prepare to attack from Liaoxi to strike at the Japanese fleet. As for the battle on the ground, the attack on Huludao must be continued. Not a single soldier of the Fourth Army could not be allowed to withdraw to Lushun.

However, considering the topography of the Huludao peninsula, it was conducive to the defense of the Japanese army without naval cooperation. Moreover, in the Fourth Army, although most of the troops have been eliminated at present, there are still more than 18,000 troops after all. All of them were withdrawn to Huludao, and the density of Japanese defense forces was too large.

Yang Zhen's suggestion to Wang Guangyu was that after half of the Japanese troops boarded the ship, the air force would send those Japanese soldiers directly to the Sea Dragon King at sea as guests. As for Wang Guangyu's relatively slow progress and failure to solve the Fourth Army in a short period of time, Yang Zhen did not give any criticism or urging.

In this operation, the terrain of the western Liaoning battlefield was quite narrow. The entire western Liaoning corridor is backed by mountains and seas, and the widest point is only 15 kilometers. As long as the Fourth Army holds the first line of Songling Mountain in the north, the first line of Yiwulu Mountain in the northeast, and all key points in the West Liaoning Corridor, it can control the entire West Liaoning Corridor with a single firepower.

The terrain was too narrow, and the Japanese army resorted to a retrenched defense. On the narrow terrain, the troops were unable to carry out roundabout and interspersed operations in great depth. No matter which direction you attack from the north, east, and west, once you enter the narrow terrain of the western Liaoning corridor, you can only advance slowly step by step.

Although the strength of this Fourth Army was the weakest among the various armies of the Kwantung Army, it was the most advantageous in terms of terrain. Because in this direction, the offensive of the anti-union can only attack one point at a time. At most, it will be interspersed with a small area. But as long as the Japanese army controlled all the points in the Liaoxi Corridor, his penetration speed could not be improved at all.

After the battle began, Wang Guangyu could only take every step of the way, go all out to fight for the first line of Songling Mountain and all the key points on both sides of the Daling River, and try his best to solve the Japanese army in the mountainous battlefields on the periphery of Jinzhou and Yixian. In addition, it is necessary to control the Fifth Army of the Kwantung Army with one section, and the number of troops invested in the front line is only three divisions, and the strength of the flank breakthrough is still somewhat insufficient.

However, although Wang Guangyu's progress was a little slower, with the cooperation of the first section of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region that attacked from eastern Hebei, he adopted the method of encircling points and sending reinforcements, and ate a division of the Fourth Army in one bite on the battlefield of Yixian, plus the strength of an independent mixed brigade, and seized the first line of Goubangzi.

Although Yixian County ate one-third of the strength of the Fourth Army in one go, it also shocked the snake in the first battle. As the Battle of Yixian came to an end, Lieutenant General Shojiro Iida immediately contracted rapidly. The whole army withdrew to Jinzhou and tried to maintain the retreat route of Huludao at this most critical moment.

It's just that Wang Guangyu didn't expect that it would be less than a day after Lieutenant General Iida Shojiro all shrank back to Jinzhou. Even Jinzhou quickly gave up, except for controlling all the key points on the periphery of Huludao with a force, the main force directly withdrew to Huludao.

At present, Wang Guangyu is organizing troops to launch an attack on the front line of Huludao. However, the resistance of the Japanese troops was extremely stubborn, and the narrow terrain of the peninsula was not conducive to the attack, and the density of Japanese troops was too large. Despite the long-range artillery cover in the Tianji Factory and the front line of Yingpan, Wang Guangyu's attack was still progressing extremely slowly, and it could almost be said that it was squeezing little by little.

It was in view of the current situation that after it was concluded that this Fourth Army was going to run. Yang Zhen ordered Wang Guangyu to increase the pressure, forcing the Japanese army to speed up their retreat and greet them at sea with planes. This approach is much faster and more efficient than a slow attack on the ground.

At the same time, Yang Zhen ordered Tao Jingfei to immediately terminate the search to the east. All attack aircraft and bomber groups assigned to him were sent out in the direction of West Jinzhou. It was under the command of the Western Front Air Command, and was ready for combat against the Japanese transport fleet. At the same time, he ordered the former puppet Manchurian maritime police force, as well as the original escort ships, which were currently in Fuzhou Bay, to deploy in the waters off Lianshan Bay.

In terms of orders, Yang Zhen asked Tao Jingfei to speed up the attack and take Port Arthur in the shortest possible time. The troops going north should seize the line from Haicheng to Xiuyan as soon as possible, cut off the last route of the remaining Japanese Fifth Army on the entire Liaozhong battlefield, retreat eastward, and pose a threat to the rear of the Japanese flank along the Anbong Railway.

Yang Zhen's judgment is still very accurate. On the night of receiving Wang Guangyu's telegram, the Western Front cluster discovered that dozens of Japanese coastal defense ships and below, including a number of trawlers and sailboats, had arrived at Huludao Port that night. But these Japanese ships were cunning, after entering Liaodong Bay. During the day, he hid in the middle of Liaodong Bay and waited until it was dark before driving towards Huludao.

In the second half of the night, the retreating troops of the Japanese army began to board the ship at the fastest speed under the cover of the heavy artillery of the Fourth Army firing with all their strength to suppress the anti-coalition artillery groups on the front line of Gaoqiao and Hanjiagou. The Japanese troops who participated in the retreat carried only light weapons. All vehicles and heavy weapons were abandoned in Huludao.

Regardless of the carrying capacity of the ships, they retreated with all their might in the middle of the night. The first batch of tens of thousands of Japanese troops has all boarded the ship. And behind them, the periphery of Huludao was stuffed with every boat. In particular, a 5,000-ton cargo ship originally berthed in Port Arthur, as well as two barges and five 1,000-ton cargo ships, were all Japanese soldiers from the cabin to the deck plug because of the slightly larger carrying capacity.

This 6,000-ton cargo ship is the only large transport ship in Northeast China for the Japanese army, which is now at the end of its busy journey. In order to plunder mineral resources from South Manchuria, especially the pig iron of Benxi Lake, the Japanese Navy specially stayed in the Northeast with the five thousand-ton cargo ships.

And this 6,000-ton Takasaki transport ship was still the battle troop captured by the Russians in the Russo-Japanese War. Originally, after being retired from the Navy in the thirties, it was transferred to the Army as a transport ship. The army put it in Lushun again, and it was originally specially used to transport the Kwantung Army's replacement troops.

It was only because the age of the transport ship was so old that the army had been in use for four or three years, and it was so troubled by maintenance problems that the army, which could not afford to use it even if it lacked ships, changed the ship back to the navy. Now it is the only large transport ship in the Navy that travels from Arthur to the Japanese mainland.
