Chapter 540: The Japanese Retreat
The tank is undoubtedly the most important weapon in World War II, compared with the great powers, the industrial system of the Feng army is still quite backward, only by doing research in advance, the stupid bird can fly first, and can compete with the great powers. Fengjun's tank is not to deal with immediate threats, but has a set of long-term plans.
At this time, Xiong Mengyuan also said to Zhang Tinglan: "Dashuai, the speed of this tank is still too slow, in the final analysis, it is the lack of engine power, it just so happens that we want to cooperate with Germany to engage in jishu, it is best to get the engine jishu from their hands, not only the gasoline engine, it is better to get the diesel engine jishu, not for anything else, diesel is cheap!" ”
Xiong Mengyuan said, while hahadaxiao, Fengjun is willing to spend money on equipment, but he also requires that every penny be spent on the blade, and the family background is so thin, he can't help wasting it. At present, diesel is only a waste product in the process of petroleum refining, the price is very low, and the safety of diesel is much better than gasoline, from the perspective of the development of tanks, diesel engines are still the direction of the future.
Zhang Tinglan also supported this suggestion, he said with a smile: "We originally got the tractor factory from Russia, and then got the tractor production line in the United States, and now we want to introduce German jishu, and we should also do a systematic integration work to form our own jishu characteristics." ”
"What the marshal said is very true!" Tao Jiping hurriedly said: "I have ordered two sets of tractor production lines from Germany, and at the same time are talking about the supporting engine factory, bearing factory matters, as long as we talk about it, we will follow the German Jishu standard, and then cooperate with those Russian professional technicians to build a large tracked vehicle production base, peacetime mainly produces agricultural tools, wartime is full production of tanks, military and civilian combination, which is also the marshal has always emphasized." ”
Zhang Tinglan said: "Don't just stare at the big tractor. In fact, some small vehicles also have a great role. After the completion of the engine plant, it was possible to produce a single-cylinder diesel engine of about 10 horsepower in large quantities, and the jishu was simple and could be used for a wide range of purposes. It can produce small agricultural vehicles, can also be used as artillery tractors, can be used for transportation, and can also be popularized on farms on a large scale. Military and civilian dual-use, benefit from both ends! ”
The small diesel engine mentioned by Zhang Tinglan has been widely used in later generations, such as ploughing, sowing, transplanting, and power generation. After being loaded into the carriage, it can also be used for transportation, and as long as there is one in the family, almost all farm work can be covered.
The investment is not much, but the benefits are amazing. Of course, Zhang Tinglan wants to promote this kind of good thing. And once a large number of peasants learned to drive agricultural machinery, it was time for war. They can be conscripted directly into the army. Let them drive tanks and go into battle, this kind of driver can also be regarded as a kind of human resource!
After Tao Jiping understood what Zhang Tinglan meant, he couldn't help but say: "The marshal is far-sighted and thoughtful, we can only try our best to complete the task." Definitely live up to the trust of the handsome. ”
After leaving the arsenal, Zhang Tinglan was also going to the aircraft factory to see the situation, and Ba Yuzao Wang helped them set up a design team separately, and now they are all stepping up their work. The Feng army has already used the plane as a trump card. They are also feeling the pressure on their shoulders, and they have recently achieved some results.
But Zhang Tinglan was just about to go over, Chang Yinhuai hurriedly looked for him, the intelligence leader looked panicked, Zhang Tinglan knew that there was something big at a glance, and hurriedly returned to the Shuai Mansion with him.
As soon as he sat down, Chang Yinhuai said: "Great marshal, the Japanese sent the 12th Division and the 7th Division from the direction of Chita, a total of more than 15,000 people, towards Aleksandrovsk, and they also sent troops from Boli, apparently trying to break our blockade from both ends. ”
Zhang Tinglan said with a smile after hearing this: "The Japanese are still unwilling and want to unite the army, this is wishful thinking, the Japanese army left in Chita is a group of hostages in our hands, how can they let them escape!" Immediately gave Li Jinglin an order to send troops directly to control the railway. In addition, to increase deterrence in the direction of Boli, the 2nd and 4th divisions of the border guards were mobilized and put on an offensive posture. ”
Zhang Tinglan said while staring at the map, resisting the strong with the weak, not afraid of whale swallowing, afraid of encroachment! This is Zhang Tinglan and the Japanese many times down the experience of the summary, Japan has many more cards than the Feng army, if you do not painlessly play according to the routine, the Japanese will have the advantage, the Feng army will soon fall into the disadvantage.
Only by showing the attitude of sacrificing one's life can it really be effective, just like at the moment, the Japanese are transferring troops, most likely trying to control the war in one place. Zhang Tinglan won't be stupid, if he wants to fight, he will start an all-out war and play a big one.
"Give Jiang Dengxuan an order to lead the 3rd Division of the Border Guards, plus two independent mixed brigades into the Suifen River, and put on a posture of attacking Vladivostok. Let Qin Wei dispatch from Outer Mongolia and copy the back road of the Japanese army in Chita, as long as the Japanese dare to fire the first shot, we will attack on all fronts, and strive to stew the Japanese army in the Far East with a spoonful! ”
Zhang Tinglan was indeed not polite to make a move, and after the order was issued immediately, the Feng army moved when he heard the wind, and the army quickly mobilized, and pressed it with overwhelming momentum.
All kinds of advanced equipment were constantly transferred to the front line, and the local militia was also mobilized to send large quantities of materials to the front line, and the entire three eastern provinces seemed to have entered a state of war in an instant.
Just when the Feng army was moving, Kinoshita Uzaburo, the commander of the Japanese 12th Division, also led more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers to leave Chita in a hurry, rolling east along the Trans-Siberian railway line.
As one of Japan's main divisions, the 12th Division was the first group of troops to interfere in Russia. Hearing that Nishikawa Torajiro was defeated by the Feng army, they didn't feel any fear, but only thought that Nishikawa was a rice bucket, and if they made a move, they would definitely not be defeated by the sick man of East Asia, the useless Shina people.
According to Kinoshita Uzaburo's plan, if the Feng army still dared to resist the Japanese army, then the two sides would go to war directly, and he led his subordinates into Manchuria to occupy the most fertile land. The bitter cold of the Far East has already made the Japanese bitter, and this is not the place they should come to, but the rich Chinese mainland, which makes them salivate.
However, the Japanese marched route was not smooth, and the railroad tracks were frequently damaged along the way, which were the work of the Russian partisans, who dismantled the railroad tracks. It's a very good steel, and it can be used to make weapons, and when you have a weapon, you can fight the Japanese, and it's almost a virtuous circle.
The Japanese built the railway all the way, and it was supposed to be a two- or three-day journey, but they walked for ten days before finally arriving in Aleksandrovsk. But after arriving here, they suddenly felt bad, and Feng Jun made preparations in advance.
Fortifications were densely packed along the railway line. These fortifications were all arranged by Li Jinglin himself, extending from the original defense system of Jiangdong 64 Tun, passing through Aleksandrovsk, and then extending 20 kilometers to the north. The wide fortifications were like a huge stone gate, cutting off the Trans-Siberian Railway in one fell swoop. The Japanese want to cross over, it is simply wishful thinking.
The fortifications were not only long. The width at the widest point also reached twenty kilometers. In a short period of time, being able to achieve such a degree is also inseparable from so many years of hard training, and the engineer team of the Fengjun army has reached a very professional level.
From the outermost minefields, to barbed wire, to dense tunnels. A complete defense system was formed. Kinoshita Uzaburo personally stared at it with a telescope, and the more the old guy looked at it, the cooler his heart became, although he still maintained the arrogance unique to the Japanese, and he looked down on Feng Jun at all.
But he also knew the current situation of the Japanese army, which lacked food and clothing. There is a serious shortage of ammunition, and after being tossed by the Russians for so long, the actual combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced, and if it is confronted with the well-equipped and well-prepared Feng army, I am afraid that the end will not be very good. The old guy also began to immediately Xichuan, no wonder he hated Outer Mongolia, the progress of Fengjun in the past two years is really amazing!
The Japanese are observing the Feng army, and Li Jinglin is also observing them: "Damn, there is Lao Tzu in charge, the little devil does not want to go over, and the brothers are ordered to get ready, as long as the Japanese dare to shoot the first shot, they will beat me so that my parents don't know me!" ”
All the soldiers of the Feng army went to prepare, and everyone was eager to try, but after two days, the Japanese did not attack except for the temptation, and the two sides were so strangely deadlocked.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the food we brought from Chita is running out, and we can only hold out for another five days." His quartermaster reports to Kinoshita Usaburo.
The division commander frowned, he had just received a notice from the Japanese cabinet that he already knew the news of the large-scale transfer of the Feng army. If the first shot is fired, the whole situation will be uncontrollable, and Kinoshita Uzaburo is indeed difficult to decide, let alone him, even Japanese Prime Minister Hara Kei does not have the courage.
"Report to the division commander, this is a letter from Yamaki Shaosa, and I want to hand it over to you personally."
As soon as Kinoshita Uzaburo heard that his officers hastily gave him a letter, he was full of doubts and hurriedly opened it and read it. Without looking at it twice, this one jumped up and scolded loudly: "Baga! "His features are a little displaced.
It can make Kinoshita so angry, and the content of this letter is too appalling, that Yamaki Shaosa thinks that the Japanese upper echelons are a bunch of cowards, and they dare not go to war in the face of the Chinese people, and he wants to use his own blood to awaken the spirit of Japanese warriors. Yamaki contacted some like-minded young officers and wanted to launch a decisive charge against the Feng army and start a great battle between the two sides.
Seeing this, how can Kinoshita not be angry. "These hot-headed bastards, don't they know what the consequences of hasty decisions will be, get them all arrested!"
"Division commander, it's too late, these people have already started to act." The intelligence officer reported to Kinoshita.
Kinoshita Uzaburo sat on the seat with a butt, and as the saying goes, there is no turning back from the bow, once the first shot is really fired, the situation in the Far East will be completely out of control, and no one is sure what the result will be.
But there are some things that he can't decide, and who told the Japanese to have a tradition of going down to the kage. Kinoshita thought for a moment and said, "The whole army is ready, if Yamaki Shaosa dies in battle, we will immediately launch an attack on the Shina people, so that they can taste the taste of opposing the empire." ”
Just after Kinoshita Uzaburo gave the order, suddenly the chief of staff stumbled in and almost fell to the ground.
"It's a big deal, the Russians have entered Chita!"
As soon as he heard the news, Kinoshita Uzaburo only felt like a thunderbolt, even more exciting than the news just now, his hands and feet were cold, and his heart was full of bitter water, Chita was his base camp, if he lost it, how could he fight with the Feng army, how could unfortunate things fall on him!
"Tell me clearly, how did the Russians get into Chita?"
"After we left Chita with the elite Liliang, the Liliang of the Russian majority party went to the Far East, this time there were more than 50,000 regular troops, they took advantage of the situation along the railway line, and with the help of the guerrillas, they had already entered Chita, and our soldiers were defeated one after another."
After confirming this information, Kinoshita Uzaburo finally felt frightened, his head was full of cold sweat, and he hurriedly said to his subordinates: "Immediately retreat ten kilometers to the west, and don't clash with the Feng army." ”
"Division Commander, what should they do with Yamaki Shaozuo?"
"Whatever they do, we're all going to die!"
Rumble!
A Japanese soldier stepped on the mine, and the violent explosion blew all his left leg away, and the shrapnel cut into the lower body, and there were blood stains everywhere, this guy screamed in pain.
The other 20 or so Japanese soldiers did not pay any attention to him, and continued to rush forward, from time to time mines were touched, and five people were killed and wounded along the way, and finally approached the position of the Feng army, and a young officer held a command knife and shouted about the load, rushing towards the position of the Feng army.
Their desperate charge surprised the Feng army a little, thinking that Japan was preparing a large-scale attack, but it soon turned out that there were only a few dozen people, and they were completely here to die.
They were getting closer and closer, and they couldn't see any conspiracy, Fengjun's machine gun finally started, and the autumn wind swept away the leaves, killing all the people of Yamaki Shaozo and others, and the corpses were all mutilated, half of Yamamu's brain was blown away, and his brains were all over the ground, and his death was extremely miserable.
However, when he was dying, Yamaki still had a trace of joy, and he might be able to leave his name at the Yasukuni Shrine like his predecessors. But who knows, just after his death, the Japanese army did not go to war at all, but retreated back ten kilometers, as if there were no more than 20 people.
Yang Yuting smiled and said to Zhang Tinglan: "Dashuai, good news, the Japanese asked the Americans to bring a message, and they want to settle this dispute with us and restore the Trans-Siberian Railway as soon as possible." ”
When Zhang Tinglan heard the news, he also breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "It seems that God is not willing to bless the Japanese." Our request is also very simple, let the Japanese take the initiative to admit their mistake and daoqian for the invasion of Chinese territory! (To be continued......)
