Chapter 188: Defending Jinzhou

The whole body was touched. This was not done by China at this time. At the beginning of the Northeast Battle, Chairman Jiang first thought of stopping Su Dao. He must not let him take the initiative to launch the second battle. Otherwise, if he fails, China will really have nothing to annihilate the main national defense force of the Japanese army, but the fact is to develop in another direction.

The war began as usual, and Chairman Jiang's worry did not appear. Instead, Su Dao regained Rehe as expected. There was a huge difference between regaining a province in the northeast and a province in the pass. There were a large number of Kwantung Army there, and the training of elite Kwantung Army was a miracle that could gain a foothold there with the little force in Su Dao's hands. No one could have thought that Su Dao could actually steal some benefits from the Kwantung Army.

And this benefit is so great that they can't bear it at all. Not only did they recover the Northeast, but the Ninety-Nine Army also indirectly threatened the Japanese army in the pass, causing the Japanese army in North China to shrink the front line and stare at the Ninety-Nine Army entrenched in the Northeast, for fear that the Ninety-Nine Army would come up behind them.

The biggest beneficiary of this battle was Su Dao, but not all Su Dao. Yan Xishan of the Second World War Zone and Chairman Jiang of Wuhan were all the biggest beneficiaries. The strategic significance was beyond everyone's imagination. The Second World War Zone finally had a chance to breathe a sigh of relief. The Japanese attack in Wuhan seemed to have been much smaller, and there were more and more concerns.

It was not as easy to fight Wuhan as Nanjing. Here they encountered stronger resistance. As the war time delayed, the Japanese army's logistics pressure became increasingly greater. In addition, the Chinese army's long attack on the Japanese logistics forces caused its replenishment to be far from being able to keep up with the consumption, and the Japanese army besieged Wuhan seemed to have the intention to retreat. This was the result that no one expected.

You should know when the Japanese attacked the big cities of China and did not take them in one battle? Shanghai and Nanjing were all like this. If the Japanese army did not take Wuhan in a battle, it would undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the other side, and at the same time, it would also make China's international discourse more powerful.

The soldiers below cheered, but the people above were worried again, and the anxiety on their faces became more and more serious, which can be seen. The things they were worried about now were no less light than the Japanese army occupying Wuhan.

Yes, they were worried about Su Dao, which was far away in the northeast. Su Dao brought great joy to China every time, but in turn, these people rushed to a greater danger. Chairman Jiang finally worked hard to reorganize the warlords from all over the country. Now, Su Dao, the youngest warlord, suddenly stood up. It would be fine if Su Dao was alone. But the problem is that Chairman Jiang has noticed that the minds of the warlords below seem to have become active again.

These people followed the Central War to fight against the War, which was the righteousness, but if they did not fight with the Central War, but had a private relationship with Su Dao and obtained equipment from him, as long as they did not fight a civil war before the end of the Anti-Japanese War, no one could attack them as a just person.

This is what Chairman Jiang is most worried about. Deputy Chief of Staff Bai Chongxi also looked melancholy at this time. What he was worried about was different from Chairman Jiang's concerns. Chairman Jiang was worried about the position of the central government, and what he was worried about was Su Dao's future. Seeing Su Dao rising up and chasing those old predecessors in the short term. Bai Chongxi, who was once a warlord, knew very well what Su Dao would do in the future. If he was like this, it would be fine if he was his Northeast King, but would Su Dao be willing to do that?

Even though he has the strength to unify the country, will he still guard his three-point land? Obviously, if it were Bai Chongxi, he would not have given up a bigger stage. However, if Su Dao wanted to implement his plan, he would inevitably threaten the interests of the central government and many warlords, and his Guangxi clan was obviously also among them. What Bai Chongxi had to consider was what he should do? How should he explain the situation here to Degong?

The eyes returned to the battlefield in Jinzhou.

After a week of battle, the periphery of Jinzhou has basically been cleared. All that is left is the wounded Kwantung Army soldiers in groups of three or three, making unnecessary resistance, but that seems to be no problem at all. The 766th Division only takes a short time to smash all resistance. To this day, the Kwantung Army has felt what a real war machine is.

Jinzhou is a big city in western Liaoning region, with one of the largest ports, industry, trade and other economic outlets. Jinzhou is also one of the few big cities in western Liaoning region. Not only is the city scope much larger than that in Jinxi and other places, but its population is not comparable to that in Jinxi. Therefore, before the siege began, Su Dao also had many worries in his heart.

"Order the Air Force to start!" Standing in the command center, Su Dao looked up at Jinzhou in the north and said heavily.

Street fighting is not only the biggest test for the troops, but also the command ability of the commanders of both sides. Street fighting is not as good as field battles. If you have any equipment to set up your formation, even if you win, you will be stronger than him. There are many aspects to consider in a street fighting, including casualties, damage to buildings, economic losses, etc. Although the 99th Army is not short of money now, after the war is paid for the soldiers' pensions after the end of this battle, the 99th Army will still be a pauper.

If the next batch of medicines were not sold within three months, the 99th Army was still facing a financial crisis. So now Su Dao has to consider how to ensure the integrity of Jinzhou City. It can be said that the 99th Army has the ability to destroy a city, but it is not able to build a city. After thousands of years of development, the city has reached its current scale. To restore this, it will inevitably take a lot of time and money, and Su Dao does not have these.

"Staff, do you think we can do this?" Wu Zhongguo said worriedly. This matter was discussed by Su Dao and the others.

They had wasted a month before to clear out the Kwantung Army outside Jinzhou City, but did not fire a shell into the city. It was just for this matter. The battles in the other two directions have basically come to an end, and the 766th Division has not yet captured a city. It can be said that Su Dao's patience is basically gone.

Originally, I wanted to let the Kwantung Army in Jinzhou retreat, but now it seems that it is impossible to retreat, and a tough battle is a big deal.

What Su Dao just called the action was nothing more than letting the Air Force bomber squadron fly over Jinzhou with millions of leaflets, and then scatter these leaflets. He hoped that the Kwantung Army in Jinzhou could withdraw from Jinzhou to avoid unnecessary casualties. Moreover, according to the current battlefield situation, it was only a matter of time before the capture of Jinzhou, and the Kwantung Army had no chance of defending Jinzhou.

"We have to try it out if it is OK. We can't afford this battle. If this time doesn't work, we will beat him hard and beat him up. Maybe it will be fine next time." Su Dao said helplessly, but what he said was the truth.

The combat power of the 99th Army was already enough to shock the Kwantung Army. As for whether they could scare them away, it would be different. Anyway, there are so many cities in China, and one or two people can't do it. This method will be feasible one day.

‘Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!’ There were a series of dull engine sounds in the air, and twenty bombers were flying over Jinzhou at a rapid speed under the escort of fifty fighters.

After hearing the sound of bombers, the Kwantung Army below was to find the Chinese civilians and pull them to their side. The more the better. Even if they were about to die, they had to put on some cushions. Moreover, over the past few days, the Kwantung Army who were staying in the city seemed to have found the weakness of the Ninety-Nine Army. As long as you have the Chinese people around you as shields, they rarely dare to attack directly regardless of the safety of the people.

The fleet quickly flew over Jinzhou. As the Kwantung Army soldiers thought, the bombers did not throw out aviation bombs that were enough to kill them, but instead threw down leaflets, like a scattered flower of a goddess. Of course, Japan may not have this statement, so they would think it would be better like falling cherry blossoms.

Lieutenant General Ishiguro Satozo, the commander of the 28th Division of the Kanto Army, stood in the yard of the division command center, and suddenly felt an unexpected pain in his heart as the flyers were dancing all over the sky. When the flyers arrived, he knew that he could no longer stop the panic from spreading in the army. He could not take back so many flyers from the soldiers. And even if he sent soldiers to snatch them, they had already seen all the contents above before the soldiers arrived. (The plot required, so the 28th Division appeared in advance. As explained before, the Ranger could not find the division number under the Kanto Army during this period, so he could only replace it with the number at the end of 41 years.)

Just when Ishiguro Satozo was a little confused, the commander of the 11th Division, Masaichi Naito, came over. No matter how big the Jinzhou Castle is, it is considered small to stay here. For the convenience of the two divisions, the division headquarters of the two divisions are separated by a wall. In addition to the convenience of coordination, it can also save some of the defensive soldiers of the division headquarters, allowing more soldiers to go to the front line. Therefore, it is not surprising that Masaichi Naito appeared in the 28th Division Division at this time.

"Ishiguro, you wouldn't be scared by these flyers, right?" Naito Masato was stunned when he saw Sadato Ishiguro standing there holding the flyers in his hand, and did not notice his arrival at all. His face turned dark and he asked with a stern voice.
