Chapter 317: Failed Attack
PS: Bow and thank 456789zxcv and Houpo Boy for their valuable monthly passes, thank you, thank you, and wish you all a happy holiday again!
Junko's order was faithfully carried out in the ranks of the advance army, and the well-trained fighters of the advance army of the anti-aircraft artillery positions and guard battalions quickly evacuated, and in the explosion, withdrew from the positions and went straight to the nearby mountains and forests.
A total of 210 bombers and 50 attack planes escorting the antiaircraft artillery positions were destroyed by the Japanese aircraft death squads, and at an altitude of less than 300 meters above the ground, they unscrupulously launched an all-round carpet bombing along the location of the smoke bombs fired from their positions.
The violent explosions continued continuously, and the air waves rose higher and higher, turning the area into a sea of fire for several kilometers.
The anti-aircraft artillery position ceased to have even a full-fledged anti-aircraft machine gun, and the thirty guns had the same fate, albeit at a distance, but did not escape the fate of being destroyed, and in the explosion, one door fell apart, and the barrels twisted, sticking out huge craters.
Junko was on a hill far away from the explosion site, watching the flames rise from the position, and his mental depression rose.
This was the only defeat he had ever suffered since he followed Dong Ku without even having a chance to return the phone, and it was a big defeat, not only did he sacrifice more than one brigade of soldiers before and after, but now he actually destroyed dozens of antiaircraft guns and machine guns, and 30 cannons were blown up, which was the consequence of defeat that he could not bear.
If the cannon is destroyed, his offensive power will be compressed, if the light 75 mountain guns and field guns are transported, these two types of artillery are easy to transport, but unfortunately, due to the relationship of power, it is impossible to achieve the purpose of killing the Japanese troops in the pillboxes and bunkers, that is. Attacking fortifications, artillery of this caliber will be helpless in the face of a bunker several meters deep.
Looking at the bombers that were still flying in the sky and dropping bombs over and over again, Junko took a deep breath, calmed down, and ordered to withdraw to the Twin Cities Defense Zone in a deep voice.
Withdraw to the defense zone. Junzi did not immediately contact Liu Yucheng, but directly contacted Lao Zhao to see the situation there and see how many cannons could be squeezed out to bombard the Japanese positions while ensuring defense.
They weren't attacking on all fronts, because they didn't have enough strength to support the whole attack. In the absence of sufficient logistical support, it is only relied on grabbing. They can't hold on for too long by killing the enemy alone, and once the supplies can't keep up, they won't even be able to defend.
This is different from the guerrillas, which cannot be transferred, not to mention the production base in Harbin, which is the Anda oil field, once it falls into the hands of the Japanese. It would be an unimaginable disaster, and it would be a disaster for the whole of China.
If the Japanese take control of the Daqing oil field. Then, the fall of China is obvious, even if he knows history well, the Japanese will devote all their energy to China, and will not open up the Southeast Asian theater, and will not open up the Pacific theater. In the case of concentrating on attacking China, the gap in weapons and the quality of individual soldiers will lead to the fall of the whole of China. Even if Dong Ku has elite soldiers in his hands, he can't stop it, not to mention that his main force is still restrained by Lao Maozi.
Quick communication. Junko found that they could each do one attack, and any more, the defense of the position would be difficult, and even if he was here, at most fifty more 120 and 150 caliber cannons would be drawn, and that he could make almost two attacks. This refers to the case when the artillery is completely destroyed.
Lao Zhao suffered the greatest loss, nearly 9,000 soldiers shed their blood in the sea of fire and the road of charging, and slept in the fertile black soil, which can be said to be the biggest defeat in history.
After Shunzi understood the situation, he asked Lao Zhao to be patient for the time being, stand still, and wait for Dong Ku's arrival. Only then did he contact Liu Yucheng.
Liu Yucheng also had a headache when he learned that the Japanese army had switched to the defensive.
If the weapons were well-balanced and there was aircraft support, it would not be difficult for them to attack the Japanese positions, and the losses would be quite huge.
If you have time, you can still think of other ways to infiltrate, sabotage, or destroy the Japanese airfield, so as to master the rhythm of the attack, but the Japanese have already started, and they need to attack quickly to contain the main force of the Japanese army, and time does not allow it.
Liu Chengcheng thought hard about several plans, and in the end, in addition to allowing the anti-aircraft artillery to continue to be produced in large quantities to meet the Mongolian air defense, there was no good way for the time being, except for the plan of accumulating strength and exchanging anti-aircraft artillery for Japanese aircraft.
Time passes quickly in frustration and agitation. When the news of the fall of Beiping and the fall of Tianjin reached the hands of Liu Chengcheng, Dong Ku also passed through Qiqihar non-stop and rushed to Harbin.
As soon as he came back, he didn't care about his fatigue, and directly called all the high-level leaders such as Liu Chengcheng, Shunzi, Liu Zhong, and Huzi to hold an emergency meeting.
After listening to Junzi's report, Dong Ku felt sorry for those soldiers, but he was not touched by the loss of artillery. Without air supremacy, it is not new to suffer defeat, and Junko has already done a good job, at least withdrawing large forces before the bombing by Japanese planes, avoiding greater losses.
Pointing to the map, Dong Ku looked at Liu Yucheng and asked, "Sir, what do you think should be done now?" No, we will break out of Mongolia and attack the Japanese directly, so that the Japanese army, which has no position to defend, will not be able to block our attack. ”
Liu Chengcheng looked at the map and said in a deep voice: "If there are fewer people who go, they will be dumplings, even if our individual soldiers are stronger than the Japanese army, and the weapons are superior to the Japanese army, but the gap in numbers is too big, according to the news from the dark hall, the Japanese army in the pass is still gathering, I am afraid it will exceed 150,000." And we can't give up here and save Kannai instead, this is the foundation of the rise, and once we lose it, we will fall into a more difficult struggle. ”
Liu Chengcheng paused, and continued: "There is no doubt that Soviet Russia has joined forces with Japan, Mongolia's more than 200,000 troops do not need to be expected to be transferred, Lao Maozi has lost hundreds of thousands of troops and materials, it is already an endless situation, once they are given the opportunity, they will break into Mongolia, and then enter Heilongjiang, by then, we will not even have a place to stand, how to talk about a strong country, how to talk about rising?" ”
"Moreover, if the Mongolian defenders are not moved, and most of the troops here are dispatched to attack the pass, once they really collide with the Japanese, it will definitely be impossible to withdraw, and the Japanese army will quickly transport their main force here to the pass after discovering that our army is mobilized and the defense here is empty. Directly attacking Harbin and Qiqihar, on the long defensive line, we did not have enough troops, and we could not stop the Japanese attack, and the most important thing was that we did not have air supremacy. ”
Liu Chengcheng kept talking until he saw Dong Ku pondering. He breathed a sigh of relief and stopped talking. Once Dong Ku's command is wrong and he wants to save Guannei, then Harbin will be in danger, after all, it is facing two countries, not two people.
The bitter heart of Liu Chengcheng Dong Ku felt it, he was a soldier, he didn't have so much kindness as a woman, and the Japanese army attacked Guannai. It will bring catastrophe to the Chinese people, he can't stand it, and he can't turn a blind eye, but let him put down Harbin and return to the situation of millet plus rifles to fight the Japanese army, he won't do that, in that way, the number of deaths will be more.
Again. If Lao Maozi doesn't solve it, he really can't afford to wave the army in the pass. Small troops are of little use in a vast national war, and large troops, as Liu Chengcheng said, cannot be mobilized at all.
The posture of the Japanese army is extremely obvious, that is, to defend with all its strength, and not to attack. Use the main forces in Guannai, carry out a full-scale invasion, and after occupying the whole country, you will have energy, and Soviet Russia has not yet eaten Heilongjiang. They will concentrate their efforts to break through the defenses in one fell swoop.
And Heilongjiang and Mongolia are the foundation of the rise, far from being comparable to Guannei, even if Dong Ku is unwilling, he will not give up Harbin, there must be no loss here, especially the oil fields.
Dong Ku stared at the map and pondered, for a long time, before a voice came out of his chapped lips: "Sir, even if the Central Plains falls, I will not give up Harbin, here is the only fundamental that can make us rise, especially the oil fields, once they fall into the hands of the Japanese, they will become even more crazy, and the mature industrial system will make it difficult for us to suppress them in the military industry, so it is necessary to defend Harbin and Inner Mongolia." ”
After a pause, he saw Liu Chengcheng's relieved expression, smiled lightly and turned his head and said: "Fairy, what we have to do is how to contain the main force of the Japanese army and reduce the pressure on Guannai, regardless of the party, we are all Chinese, the same root, China cannot fall into the hands of the Japanese, so this is the theme of today's meeting." ”
Liu Zhong, Shunzi and others are all from Orion, and they don't understand the general trend, and they don't command and listen to the command, but the judgment of this kind of general situation is not what they are good at, so including Shui Linglong, they all turned their eyes to Dong Ku and waited for him to explain.
Liu Chengcheng was relieved to see that Dong Ku had not lost his mind, and at the same time, he took over the topic and said: "General Shunzi has mobilized the main force of the Japanese army in today's and last night's attack, according to the intelligence analysis of the friendly forces of Qiqihar and this side, the Japanese army will not have more than two divisions left behind, otherwise there will be no weakening of machine gun fire halfway." ”
After a pause, seeing that everyone's eyes were turned to him, Liu Yucheng continued: "Now I think that the Japanese army must have considered the defense here, Xinjing and Mukden are their lifeblood, especially the military industry of Mukden, which is the root of their aggression, and the number of weapons exported by them is not weaker than the number of weapons exported by their own country, so in the past two days, if we have another fierce attack, the Japanese will accumulate heavy troops in this area and relieve the pressure in the Guannei The purpose has been achieved." The weapons we give to Lao Chiang will not make his resistance too weak, and we will set up a big trap again, consume the planes of the defenders here, and it will not be a big problem to break through the defensive line, and at that time, the main force of the Japanese army will have to go back to defend and look at his hometown. ”
Everyone else agreed, feeling that Liu's plan would not only not make Harbin's defensive strength lose its strength, but would also serve the purpose of encircling Wei and saving Zhao, and the most important thing was that Harbin would not be in danger of falling.
After Dong Ku finished speaking in Liu Defeated City, he pondered for a moment.
He also felt that this was the only way to use the threat from this side to mobilize the Japanese army, to delay their main force, and delay the attack on Suidu in the pass.
He was familiar with history, and after returning and hearing the news of the fall of Beijing and Tianjin, he judged that the Japanese army in Guannai probably had more than 150,000 troops, plus the forces of the puppet Mongolians, the puppet Manchurians, and the North Korean troops, and there might be 200,000 troops, or they would not make more attacks and dispatch a large number of planes.
"Okay, let's do according to Mr.'s plan, we continue to draw artillery from Hulin and Suifenhe, the Soviet Russian troops there do not dare to act rashly, in order to stabilize the Soviet Russian troops in that area, we bombarded 'Dalenevchensk', cut off the supply line in Vladivostok, so that Soviet Russia did not dare to station too many troops there. Prepare for one night and attack tomorrow. ”
So, after finalizing the plan, Dong Ku communicated with Lao Zhao by phone, asking him to make the same preparations there, and launch an attack on the position tomorrow morning, and he will support another 50 anti-aircraft guns and 10 machine guns here for his air defense to ensure that the position will not be destroyed by Japanese aircraft in one day. And clearly told Lao Zhao that after the end of this attack, the gap was opened, and it was also a slow advance, and he did not plan to defeat the Japanese army, and if the attack failed, he would retreat to the defensive line and wait for the opportunity.
Lao Zhao had no opinion on Dong Ku's plan, and after Dong Ku issued a statement to the whole country to mobilize for the war of resistance, abandon the view of the door, and go to the national disaster together, he also made a report to the base camp in Gansu through the radio.
When Dong Ku and the others began to be busy overnight and preparing for the attack, the bearded man was not only attacking without relaxation at this time, but also paying attention to the movements of the advance army.
After he was unable to break through the defense line after repeated attacks, he was already determined to eat this force, because the existence of this force made the puppet plan of the painstaking management fail, so that he lost contact with many chess pieces, so he had to eat Dong Ku's advance army.
After the Japanese army invaded the pass, once the advance army showed signs of movement, he would give up the tentative attack, attack the defense line of Charlan with all his might, enter the territory of Mongolia, and then wave his army to attack Harbin.
Liu Yucheng is worried about the point, not to mention the old Maozi, even the commander of the 'Umezu Mijiro' also does the same idea, once the advance army attack is frustrated, they choose to go around from Mongolia, then, he launched a full-line attack on Harbin at the moment when the opponent's main force enters the pass, he believes that with the support of the aircraft, it is still certain to break through the defense line of the army.
And after receiving Lao Zhao's telegram from the Soviet district, they also agreed with Dong Ku's suggestion, they are too weak now, lack of guns and ammunition, less than 50,000 soldiers, and even have no capital to fight. Therefore, cooperation is needed to fight the Japanese army.
At this time, after taking Beiping, Terauchi Shouyi divided his troops into two routes, all the way to meet Yan Laoxi's troops, all the way to Baoding and Chengde, and strive to occupy the entire territory of Hebei as quickly as possible. (To be continued......)
