Chapter 751: Sweeping Liaoxi
Chapter 751 swept through Liaoxi
With the strength of three and a half brigades, Feng Jiwu bravely fought into the more than 200,000 Kwantung Army troops, and with his fierce combat effectiveness, he defeated the Kwantung Army troops and successfully held off the Kwantung Army troops for more than an hour, winning valuable time for the tail pursuit troops commanded by Tang Qiuli.
The commander of the southbound unit of the Kwantung Army, Lieutenant General Otozaburo Yano, hurriedly gave the order to retreat to Jinzhou, and before he could get into the car, he was involuntarily coerced by the soldiers and fled to the direction of Jinzhou.
There was another ferocious interception, the gunfire rang out like a burst of beans, around the periphery of Xingcheng, there were battlefields everywhere, the pursuit troops of the independent division, after meeting Feng Jiwu's troops, bit more than 20,000 Kwantung Army soldiers, divided, surrounded, and all brigades fought to kill the surrounded Japanese army, so the Kwantung Army troops, obviously did not satisfy Tang Qiuli's appetite, he issued an order, leaving four brigades of troops, responsible for destroying the besieged Japanese army, and occupying Xingcheng and the surrounding areas, and developing northward, Clear the Kwantung Army garrisons scattered in various places.
The rest of the troops immediately threw off the Japanese troops in front of them and continued to chase after them, not giving the Kwantung Army troops who fled for their lives, and with any respite, the soldiers had no choice but to give up the féiròu on their lips, swallow their saliva wildly, and chase the back of the Kwantung Army soldiers along the road from Xingcheng to Jinzhou.
The Ninth Division of the Kwantung Army, in the battle sequence of the Kwantung Army, is also a number of Jīng sharp troops, the full strength of the division is more than 28,000 people, very fortunately, the Ninth Division is in Niuxin Mountain, not ambushed, the formation is complete, but after being attacked by the fierce air attack of the independent division air force, the formation was beaten luàn, however, the division commander Lieutenant General Mizuhara Yongjian is still in control of the strength of the two wings, which is really a blessing in misfortune.
After being ambushed, airborne, flanked, and pursued in succession, Lieutenant General Mizuwon Nagaken knew very well that if the Shina army was allowed to pursue in this way, the troops would eventually be scattered, divided, surrounded, and annihilated one by one, and the command system of the troops had fallen into a state of húnluàn, and he called the commander Lieutenant General Otozaburo Yano several times in a row, but he could not be contacted.
It must be in the escape of the outlaw, Suwon Yongjian didn't even curse the family of this small restaurant that sells miso soup, and the commander was not in the mood, at the critical moment, he calmed down, only by establishing a blocking front can the fate of the whole army be avoided, when everyone is rushing to flee for their lives, let me Suwon make sacrifices for the whole army, for the sake of His Majesty the Emperor, for the Kwantung Army, and even for the honor of the Great Japanese Emperor, he murmured in his heart.
Suwon Yongjian still had a good way, he ordered all the commanders and soldiers of the two wings that had always followed him, to stand on the road, facing the soldiers of the Kwantung Army who had fled like a water, and shouted: "This is the assembly place of the 9th Division, all the officers and soldiers of the 9th Division should assemble immediately" Not only that, but Suwon also ordered the squadron to guard the military flag and raise the flag of the 9th Division, which was in the middle of the main road.
These two tricks worked very well, the Ninth Division can also be called the Kwantung Army's Jīng Ruibu troops, and there were constantly subordinate commanders of the Ninth Division, just like seeing his mother's family, with the soldiers of the headquarters to assemble and assemble a wing, Suwon immediately ordered to build blocking fortifications on the spot, and in less than an hour, Suwon gathered more than 20,000 troops.
Looking at the soldiers who were running out of breath, Suwon's heart was gloomy for a while, in one night, the troops lost more than 8,000 troops, and my division was already seriously injured, even the remaining soldiers, can they return to their homeland alive? The answer is no, just look at the dust behind the back, the flood of chasing soldiers, just how this blocking battle will end, just do the duty of a soldier, Suwon looked indifferently at the soldiers rushing past him, his expression was indescribable contempt and anger, he felt a great shame, these people are not worthy of being the samurai of the Yamato nation.
In a hurry, Suwon established two blocking positions, and its command quality was commendable, the Japanese troops of the 9th Division, who had just dug out their personal bunkers, pursued the soldiers of the independent division, and the first làng head was rolled up to them, and the Japanese soldiers of the first blocking line opened fire, but unfortunately, there was neither artillery fire support, nor the heavy machine guns and mortars normally deployed, and they were all lost on the way to retreat.
The sparse bullets, which were mixed with the roar of a few crooked light machine guns, the soldiers of the pursuing unit of the independent division who were caught off guard were hit by the sudden bullets, and the rest hurriedly lay down, and the scene that made the soldiers of the Kwantung Army stunned appeared, what is in the process of pursuit, after encountering a blockade, quickly switching to an offensive mode.
That is, after the first batch of fighters were hit and the fighters behind lay down, in less than three minutes, hundreds of mortars, as if summoned out of thin air, appeared in front of the soldiers of the Kwantung Army.
Shells whistled and fell on the heads of the soldiers of the Kwantung Army, the fire flashed, shrapnel flew horizontally, and clouds of gunpowder smoke rose, and then, more and more mortars and Type 92 infantry guns joined the ranks of shelling the blocking positions of the 9th Division of the Kwantung Army, and the soldiers of the 9th Division, who had no artillery fire and heavy weapons support, could only lie helplessly in the individual bunkers that were only enough to cover their bodies, praying to Amaterasu that the shells would not fall on their heads.
After receiving a report from the front troops, the Kwantung Army was on the line from Xingcheng to Yangjiao, establishing a blocking position, and our troops were carrying out artillery bombardment, Tang Qiuli was stunned, at such a time of great defeat, the Kwantung Army troops could still establish a blocking position in such a short period of time, in such a panicked situation, the Kwantung Army generals' offensive and defensive conversion ability and adaptability were good, this was also in vain, even if more than 200,000 Kwantung Army troops were all transferred to the field to block, it could not be changed, and he wanted to completely crush the determination of this Kwantung Army heavy army group.
"Order, all artillery units, immediately deploy on the spot, shell the Kwantung Army's defensive positions, and in an hour, I will pass through Guò here" Tang Qiuli gave a brief order, which meant that the artillery units that followed the troops should complete the task of establishing artillery positions and covering the Kwantung Army's blocking positions with artillery fire within an hour, opening the way for the infantry to continue to advance.
This is not an easy task, the artillery unit in the march, requires a strong adaptability, the need for soldiers to train hard at all times, Zheng Yong, who received the order of the division commander, immediately issued an order to all the artillery units, the galloping artillery car, immediately stopped, unloaded the cannon, nervously busy, Zheng Yong has been appointed by Tang Qiuli as the commander of the artillery unit of the independent division and the commander of the first artillery brigade, his first brigade, the first to complete the artillery preparations.
At the same time as the order was issued, Zheng Yong had already communicated with the front-line infantry commanders, and reported back one by one, forty minutes later, the first round of shelling began, and the overwhelming large-caliber shells bombed the Kwantung Army soldiers in the individual bunkers high into the sky, Tang Qiuli nodded with satisfaction, Zheng Yong's movements were quite fast.
The large-caliber heavy artillery of the artillery units, the mortars and Type 92 infantry guns of the forward troops, and the shells poured from the Japanese blocking positions that were hastily established were enough to destroy any living creature in the area covered by the artillery fire, and after an hour, there was no longer any blocking position of the 9th Division of the Kwantung Army, except for the craters everywhere, the lingering smoke, and the gradually disappearing gunsmoke, there was no trace of life.
There was a scorched earth everywhere, and more than 20,000 soldiers of the Kwantung Army served as cannon fodder, which became the life-saving straw for most of the soldiers of the Kwantung Army, delaying the pace of the pursuers for an hour.
This qiē had nothing to do with the dizzy commander Lieutenant General Otozaburo Yano, who heard the fierce sound of artillery behind him, and farther and farther away, and asked the guards around him suspiciously: "Is it our troops, fighting against the Shina army?" A guard replied: "Your Excellency Commander, it may be the unit of the commander of the Suwon Division," Hearing the guard's words, Yano Otozaburo's heart was filled with a sour feeling, this guy from Suwon is afraid that in the entire army, after the defeat, the only person who can shine.
In the afternoon, the defeated troops of the Kwantung Army had reached the periphery of Jinzhou, and there were more than 20 kilometers to enter the city of Jinzhou, and by that time, with the strong city defense of Jinzhou, they would be able to stop the pursuing Chinese army, and they were asking the General Headquarters to send reinforcements to beat them out of Manchuria again.
As long as he can take a breath, things have not yet reached the point of despair, not only Yano Otozaburo thinks like this, but almost all the commanders at all levels of the Kwantung Army and even ordinary soldiers think like this, Jinzhou has become the only hope for the lost Kwantung Army troops.
There was a young and half of the Kwantung Army troops, who had already crossed the NV River, scrambling, that luàn, calm earth, suddenly trembled, on the distant horizon, in the direction of Jinzhou, rose smoke and dust that covered the sky and the sun, covering the noon sun, with a kind of coercion, nerve-destroying coercion, rolling in, and then, there was a thunderous sound, knocking on the already fragile heart of every Kwantung Army soldier.
All the soldiers of the Kwantung Army stopped moving, looking suspiciously at the direction where the smoke and thunder came from, the smoke and dust and heavy thunder were getting closer and closer, appearing in the field of vision of the Kwantung Army soldiers, first in the noon sun, with a sabre of cold and white light, like a steel forest, and then countless war horses, flying arrows shè over, I don't know if it was a nervous Làn Kwantung Army soldiers, screamed: "The cavalry of the Zhina people"
There was no need for him to shout, all the commanders and soldiers of the Kwantung Army saw that the Chinese cavalry units that covered the sky and the sun were killing them.
