Rehe is close to the herdsmen of Khalkha Banner in northern Liaoning. Recently, the herdsmen have become more aware. First, the Japanese were driven away by the officers and soldiers of the Chahar government, and then Chahar began to invade the Khalkha Banner in Liaoning.
Troops were stationed on the northern border, and then the Japanese deployed heavy troops at Wu Zhang near the Khalkha Banner. The Tongliao generation deployed heavy troops. The atmosphere of the battle between the two sides was very tense and full of gunpowder.
"Rumble"
There was a harsh sound of metal friction and the roar of a diesel engine coming from a distance. A large group of black tanks and armored vehicles came from a distance. The herdsmen nearby had never seen such a majestic steel chariot. They all stopped.
On the roadside, they looked at the tanks rumbling by with awe in their eyes. Some herdsmen knelt down and murmured unknown prayers.
This is Wu Jilong's Second Armored Division coming over. After the battle at Ma's Army and nearly half a year of hard training, the Second Armored Division is no longer the rookie unit it was when it was first formed. Regardless of the troop's marching formation,
The arrangement is still live ammunition shooting and the reflection has a faint shadow of elite.
"Order the troops behind to follow up quickly. Don't rush in. It will delay the arrival time. I want you to look good." Du Jingtao, who has been promoted to the battalion commander, ordered the troops to hurry up and move closer to him through the radio in the tank, and the tanks accelerated one by one.
gallop forward
The central tribe of Khalkha Banner has gathered a large number of troops in the past few days. The former enemy's general headquarters is set up here. After the Second Armored Division arrived, Wu Jilong handed over the troops to the chief of staff and took a correspondent to the former enemy.
Rush at the headquarters. Commander Su gave the order. If he cannot arrive at the specified time, the military commander of the unit will be held responsible.
Wu Jilong drove the Jeep quickly and slowly, and finally arrived at the headquarters ten minutes before Su Tong's deadline. Su Tong's headquarters was located in a huge tent. Wu Jilong saw that there were crowds of people inside, and staff members were all there.
They were all so busy that they didn't even touch the floor. There was a long table set up beside them. There were many people standing or sitting beside the long table, but most of them were generals. They were all military commanders of various armies.
They were all there chatting, laughing, or reminiscing with old friends they hadn't seen for a long time.
After Wu Jilong entered, he quickly saluted the army officers inside. There was nothing he could do. Although they all had similar military ranks, who made him have lower qualifications? If he didn't lower his posture, it would cause people to gossip. This may also be the case with China.
One of those bad habits.
"Jilong, don't run too fast this time for your 2nd Armored Division. You have to leave some soup for our 5th Division to drink." Wang Dayong said that Wu Jilong was an old acquaintance. It turned out that Wu Jilong was still the regiment commander under Sun Liren.
Wang Dayong has known Sun Liren's strong general. Today Wang Dayong also came over to say hello.
"I don't dare to call him that, Chief Wang. Jilong's success depends entirely on the support of his officers. Sir, please don't make fun of Jilong." Wu Jilong made a grimace and turned around with his fists in hand to show his low profile.
"Haha, you Wang Dayong are here to bully Jilong again," a voice rang from the side.
At this time, the officer on duty shouted loudly, "Everyone stand up, Chief Su is here." It turned out to be Chief Su.
Su Tong quickly walked to the table and looked at the generals in front of him standing solemnly. He nodded with satisfaction, waved his hands, and everyone sat down with a crash.
Su Tong's eyes turned around on the faces of the generals and said: "Okay, before entering the main body, I will inform everyone of one thing, that is, the expedition group of the Siberian Group led by Sun Liren has occupied the territory a few days ago.
Hailanpao is heading towards Vladivostok, and I think everyone will understand the significance of regaining Vladivostok without me having to explain."
After listening to Su Tong's words, everyone's faces showed excitement. Su Tong continued: "After recovering Vladivostok, we in the Seventh War Zone can build our own navy to end the days when we have no defense against the sea. But the Japanese
He would not be so kind as to allow us to occupy Vladivostok so comfortably. According to intelligence, the Japanese Kwantung Army has dispatched eight divisions, including a heavy artillery brigade, with a total of 200,000 troops to rush in before Sun Liren's expeditionary group arrives.
We captured Vladivostok before. That’s why we have the gathering here today.”
When Su Tong said this, everyone was listening attentively. Although they had received some information beforehand, it was not detailed. At this moment, the detailed information coming from the mouth of their direct commander still made them feel a sense of discomfort.
I have the same feeling. "So, Chief of Staff Chiang and I made a plan. Since Japan likes Vladivostok so much, let's give it to him. The same is true for us to recover the three northeastern provinces. Anyway, the three northeastern provinces are much larger than Vladivostok.
, this deal is quite a bargain.”
All the generals burst into laughter when they heard this.
Su Tong also laughed, "Well, little Japan has a big appetite. In the east, they want to swallow up Vladivostok. In the west, they have mobilized nearly ten divisions with 250,000 men and horses to come to us for a decisive battle. We will also
Instead of hiding it, let’s show off our assets today and compete with each other to see who has the stronger fist. The Japanese have already deployed heavy troops in Wuchang and Tongliao, so we don’t have to go to such trouble, no matter how hard they are.
There are heavy troops deployed in this place, so we will go straight there."
Su Tong said from above, and all the generals were listening below. As for Su Tong's military style, the generals who have followed him for many years are very clear. Their commander Su has never used any surprises or tricks in the use of troops. He has never used any tricks.
He goes straight forward and defeats the enemy with his strong strength.
Logically speaking, this kind of work with no technical content at all is always despised by everyone, but Su Tong relied on this straightforward style to fight from Chahar to Siberia and captured nearly 700,000 Russian prisoners.
Now they are fighting in Liaoning again. With these dazzling achievements, they have stopped those who ridiculed Su Tong for fighting with one gut.
Especially in recent years, Su Tong's famous saying, "If wisdom can kill an elephant, why would a shotgun be used for it?" has spread throughout the domestic military circles. While everyone is feeling emotional, they can't help but feel discouraged because of this.
No one else can use this combat style except our Commander Su. No one else has the strength.
"Okay, let's just say that much aside from the topic. Now I will assign the task first." After Su Tong said this, the generals below became more energetic for fear of missing every detail.
"At eight o'clock tomorrow morning, the artillery will officially begin bombarding the Japanese positions, and at nine o'clock the attack will officially begin. Second Armored Division, your troops will be deployed along a place thirty miles away from Tongliao. Send them to me as soon as the artillery support stops.
Launch a charge to the east. The task of Wang Dayong and your division is to follow the Second Armored Division and expand the results along the path they opened. Hu Lian, your 102nd Division is expanding its results towards the south, Peng Zeyuan and your 10th Division."
Following Su Tong's order, all the generals accepted the order with dignity. As Su Tong came to this era, the majesty on his body became more and more obvious. As the saying goes, when you move your body, you will nourish your energy. Now his every move There is a trace of self-restraint in them all.
Just when Su Tong was still assigning tasks, on the Japanese army's position in Tongliao opposite Chahar's army, Lieutenant General Muranaka Kajiro, the commander of the 36th Division of the Japanese Army, was talking to Yamaoka Michichi, the commander of the 25th Division. Lieutenant General Wu inspected the defense work on the battlefield together. They are the first line of defense of the Japanese army in Tongliao. The order given by the Kwantung Army Staff Headquarters to their two divisions is that they must hold off the Chahar army in Tongliao. Seven to ten days to buy time for the Japanese army to build the second and third lines of defense.
Looking at the Japanese soldiers in front of them who were working hard to build up the ancient positions and the bunkers behind them filled with cement and steel bars, Lieutenant General Kajiro Muraka said proudly: "Mr. Yamaoka, our positions are so solid, the Chinese want Once we capture it, we won’t be able to capture it for more than two months.”
"Yo Xi" Lieutenant General Michio Yamaoka carefully looked at these semi-permanent positions and bunker groups, and nodded with a smile, "Munaka-kun is indeed a famous defense expert in the empire. The distance and shooting range of each of these positions and bunkers are designed." He is very professional, I think even those Chinese people are not as good as him."
When Lieutenant Colonel Michio Yamaoka said this, several staff officers of the Thirty-sixth Division who were following the two of them looked unhappy. Japan is a country that advocates offense, and their army's ability to fight also came from Germany. I learned it there. The Germans have been fighting offensive wars since the Prussian era, so the Japanese have never learned defense.
The Thirty-Sixth Division was just formed this year, but the division commander Muranaka Kajiro is a different kind. He is well-known in the Japanese military for his good defense. Therefore, Lieutenant General Michio Yamaoka has some I look down on this military outlier who is good at defense, so there is some irony in his words.
Kajiro Muraka didn't take it seriously after hearing this. He smiled and said: "Writing is just like fighting. I think the Chinese people have a saying that is very reasonable. If you want to hit others, you must learn to be beaten. I have never been beaten. How do people know how to hit others? Don’t you think so, Yamaoka-kun?"
Seeing Kajiro Muranaka gently kicking the ball over, Michio Yamaoka snorted and stopped talking.
At this time, two planes flew over from the east. They were Japanese Type 94 bi-wing reconnaissance planes. They circled quickly along the defense lines of both sides and were about to fly back when two planes suddenly rushed out of the clouds. A P47 aircraft made a dive, and the two Japanese planes turned into two big fireballs in the air and fell to the ground.
"Baga, why are the Chinese plane intelligence so sensitive? Even our reconnaissance planes can't fly over. The imperial planes are already lagging behind China. This world is so amazing." Seeing this scene, Yamaoka Michio said The anger inside is more severe than words can express.
"No, the China people are going to attack." Kajiro Muraka looked at Yamaoka Michio with a solemn expression. "I have a hunch that the China people are going to attack soon, and their offensive will be very fierce. Yamaoka-kun, You have to be careful yourself."
Yamaoka Michio suddenly became silent after hearing this.
