In the temporary headquarters of the Guard Division, as the heavy artillery division's bombardment began, Bruce Lee, as the division commander, immediately focused his limited energy on the effects of the bombardment.
Just as the brief and rapid bombardment ended, a crisp phone rang. Bruce Lee, who was already looking anxious, immediately picked up the phone without any hesitation...
"Reporting to the division commander, I am Hu Zhengping from the Second Regiment... According to the forward observation post report, in the two-minute shelling, more than 60 tanks dispatched by the Japanese tank regiment have been lost. At present, the entire Japanese position has been
It was bombed into ruins, and all the tanks lost their combat effectiveness. Division Commander, on behalf of all the commanders and fighters of the Second Guard Regiment, I now ask you to lead the troops and immediately launch a counterattack towards the current Japanese positions, continuously compressing the existing Japanese positions, and laying the groundwork for our army.
Be prepared for the first phase of the annihilation war." Just as he put the microphone to his ear, Hu Zhengping's excited voice came from the microphone.
After hearing the report to Captain Hu Zhengping, Bruce Lee also showed a hint of excitement on his face. After a few seconds of contemplation, he gave a decisive order to the microphone next to his mouth.
"Captain Hu, I agree with your request for a battle. However, during the attack, you must remember to fight steadily and not blindly advance. It will be a matter of time to eliminate the little devil in front of you. If you let me know that it is because of your command
The mistake resulted in large-scale losses to the troops. As the regiment commander, you are at the end of the road... I will give you five minutes to prepare. After five minutes, the mountain artillery battalion directly under the guard division will provide the necessary artillery support to your unit. In addition,
, the guard regiment will follow you closely and be responsible for providing you with strong military support..."
"Thank you, Commander. Without the cover of armored combat vehicles and tanks, the little Japs are like lambs to be slaughtered in front of our guard regiment. I promise that we will achieve the greatest victory at the minimum price. Please rest assured, Commander..." Hu Zhengping
Facing an offensive formation composed of more than 2,000 soldiers, they lost the cover of the tanks, and the troops had just received an unprecedented artillery bombardment. They suffered heavy losses and low morale... One after another, the attacking troops seemed to be unmanned.
In a general situation, on the Japanese army positions that have become ruins, they quickly cut through and divide them. Then, they eliminated the Japanese soldiers who were surrounded one by one...
In less than half an hour, the entire Second Guard Regiment's battle line advanced a full distance of 1.5 kilometers. At the same time, the tank regiment responsible for breaking through the Second Guard Regiment's defense line and an infantryman from the Guard Regiment
The brigade, with a total of more than 2,000 Japs, faced the superior strength and firepower of the Second Guard Regiment. No one slipped through the net, and they were all eliminated on the spot...
The battle that took place in front of the Second Guard Regiment's position was immediately reported to the ears of Lieutenant General Nakajima, the highest commander of the Japanese army.
"Your Excellency, Army Commander, something happened... Our tank regiment was hit hard by two Chinese heavy artillery regiments. So far, except for the more than 20 tanks around the general headquarters, all the remaining tanks have
They were all destroyed..." Looking at the telegram in his hand, the chief of staff reported in disbelief...
"What, the tank regiment was attacked by two Chinese heavy artillery regiments... It's over, does the Northeast Field Army really want to annihilate us? Impossible, I will never let the Northeast Field Army's plan succeed..." I heard
Seeing the report from the Chief of Staff in front of him, Lieutenant General Nakajima's face immediately showed a look of despair, and he said with an expression of disbelief.
However, after a brief shock, Lieutenant General Nakajima's face was immediately shrouded in a look of determination. Then, facing the chief of staff in front of him, he gave a decisive order: "Bagya Road, cunning
Chinese people, as long as I, Nakajima, live, I will never let your scheme succeed, absolutely not. I, the Kwantung Army of the Imperial Japanese Empire, are invincible..."
"Chief of Staff, the tank regiment has suffered a devastating blow. Where is the First Brigade of the Guard Regiment that is responsible for assisting the attack. Immediately convey my order: the First Brigade will retreat immediately to protect the safety of the general headquarters..."
"Reporting to your Excellency, Army Commander, after the tank regiment suffered a devastating blow, the Northeast Field Army, which stood on the blocking position, immediately launched a counterattack. Under the fierce offensive of the Northeast Field Army, our first brigade was defeated. At present, except for
Less than one squadron of soldiers returned to the position. The remaining squadrons have all apologized to His Majesty the Emperor..." Facing the commander's order, the chief of staff replied helplessly.
"Nani? Bastard, cunning Chinese..."
"The losses of the Chief of Staff, the Tank Regiment and the First Battalion are all my fault. I didn't think it over clearly and rashly ordered the troops to attack. Well, since the matter has happened, let's not pursue it for the time being. Wait for us
After we get through the current difficulties together, we will hold all responsibilities accountable..." Lieutenant General Nakajima ordered decisively, his words filled with an unquestionable tone.
"Ha Yi, your Excellency, Army Commander, is wise..." the Chief of Staff replied.
"The chariot regiment suffered heavy losses under the attack of the China Heavy Artillery Regiment and almost lost its combat effectiveness. Chief of Staff, in the following decisive battle, how many troops do we still have available..." After slowly regaining his senses,
Lieutenant General Nakajima continued to ask the chief of staff in front of him.
"So far, there are only two infantry brigades of the Guard Regiment, the Baggage Regiment, the troops directly under the headquarters, the Field Heavy Artillery Regiment and the Tank Regiment remaining around the headquarters, with a total strength of more than 12,000 people. However,
Among the more than 10,000 people, there are less than 5,000 who actually have combat effectiveness..." the chief of staff replied with a frustrated look.
"Where are the newly formed 6th and 7th Divisions? Is it possible to break out of the Chinese encirclement and join up with the headquarters..." Lieutenant General Nakajima's face quickly flashed a trace of despair. He still refused to give up.
, continued to ask.
"So far, the connection between the headquarters and the newly formed 7th Division is still interrupted. According to the forward observation post report, the newly formed 7th Division has been completely routed under the attack of the Northeast Field Army Cavalry Group... If
As expected, without the support of the tank regiment, my newly formed seventh division can only have one result, and that is the complete destruction of the army."
"The newly formed Sixth Division, so far, has more than 5,000 people. Under the command of the division commander, Major General Qiu Yong, it is resolutely resisting. However, around the newly formed Sixth Division, two people have gathered
The Northeast Field Army has a main division. At the same time, the Northeast Field Army also has very powerful artillery fire. According to the current situation, the newly formed Sixth Division also has no ability to break through to our headquarters..." the chief of staff replied.
Glancing at the frustrated chief of staff in front of him, Lieutenant General Nakajima waved his hand. After thinking briefly, he spoke very decisively to the commanders around him.
"That's all... Since we can't get reinforcements from the two newly formed divisions, we will rely on the existing strength in our hands to fight well. I believe that with the more than 12,000 people in our hands, as long as we
With proper arrangements, we will be able to hold on until reinforcements arrive."
"Chief of Staff, immediately issue an order to the baggage regiment and order the baggage regiment to issue weapons and ammunition immediately. All troops around the headquarters, including everyone here, are required to ensure that each person has a rifle and be ready to participate in battle at any time."
"Ha Yi, your Excellency the Army Commander is wise..."
"Okay, don't come here with these empty words..." In response to the complimentary reply from the Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Nakajima waved his hand helplessly.
Then, he continued to give orders to the officers in front of him.
"Now I order: With the general headquarters as the center, three defensive positions will be built immediately. The baggage regiment will be the main defense line, and the outermost line of defense will be defended. The baggage regiment captain Mu Duozhong will be under the command. The guard regiment will be the second line.
The brigade, mainly all the remaining personnel of the Field Heavy Artillery Regiment, defends the second line of defense, commanded by Colonel Qin Shan, captain of the Guard Regiment. The third brigade of the Guard Regiment, a team directly under the headquarters, mainly defends the third line of defense, led by
The chief of staff will take command. The remaining two squadrons of the tank wing and all the staff officers of the headquarters will be personally commanded by me as a mobile unit. Do you all understand your tasks?"
"Ha Yi..." all the officers replied in unison.
"Everyone, this battle is related to all of us, whether all of us here can return to Changchun alive and return to China alive to reunite with our families. Therefore, I hope that everyone can work together in the next battle.
Let’s overcome the current difficulties together. Here, I issue a military order that anyone who retreats in front of or behind the formation, no matter how high their official position, will be executed on the spot..."
"Hayi..."
"Okay, let's get ready now. If nothing goes wrong, the Northeast Field Army's attack is coming soon. So, we don't have much preparation time left..." Lieutenant General Nakajima gave the final order...
.
Under the orders of Lieutenant General Nakajima, more than 12,000 Kwantung Army soldiers began to build fortifications as quickly as possible. The entire battlefield, with the Japanese army headquarters as the center, immediately became a bustling scene.
construction site…
In the temporary headquarters of the Northern Expedition Army, Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua was standing in front of a huge combat map, listening to the combat staff in front of him with a smile on his face, reporting on the specific results achieved by each combat unit in the past few hours...
"Commander-in-Chief, according to the last telegram from Commander Wang of the Cavalry Division, the Japanese army has newly formed the seventh division. Under the attack of the cavalry group, the remaining 3,000 people have been completely routed, and the cavalry division is in pursuit. The newly formed Japanese army has
The 60th Regiment, under the encirclement and suppression by the two main divisions of our Thirteenth Army, has less than 5,000 remnants left. Currently, these 5,000 remnants are making the final siege under the heavy encirclement and suppression by the two main divisions.
It is only a matter of time before the beasts fight and the whole army is destroyed..."
"In addition, more than 10,000 people in the Japanese headquarters and logistics departments who were cut off by the guard division have been surrounded by less than three square kilometers of land under the counterattack of the three regiments of the guard division. Currently, there are
The more than 10,000 Japanese troops have given up on rescuing the two newly formed divisions and are seizing the time to build fortifications. It seems that the Japs are preparing to be trapped and waiting for reinforcements..."
"Judging from the current situation, the entire battle is progressing much faster than expected... Well, a good fight... Staff Officer Wang will immediately report to the entire army through the radio and commend all participating troops..." Liu Huayi
He ordered with an excited face...
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief...but, what should our army do next? Should we continue in accordance with the original combat plan?" the combat staff replied...
"The progress of the battle is beyond all of our expectations. Of course, the battle plan must respond to the trend and make appropriate changes. Immediately convey my order: the cavalry division continues to pursue the remnants of the new 7th Division.
, the battle must be resolved in the shortest possible time. The Thirteenth Army immediately dispatched two regiments to reinforce the Guard Division, under the personal command of Commander Bruce Lee of the Guard Division, to launch an encirclement and suppression operation against the Japanese headquarters. At the same time, two regiments of the Heavy Artillery Division
, the rocket launcher battalion directly under the headquarters was also placed under the command of Bruce Lee. As for the remaining regiments of the 13th Army, their tasks remained unchanged. Commander Li Yuanqing continued to command, striving to resolve the battle before dawn. The air defense division immediately deployed air defense
Position, we must ensure that after dawn, the Japanese planes cannot fly arrogantly above our heads..."
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, I will give the order right away..." the combat staff replied affirmatively.
Time passed by, and the encirclement and suppression of the newly formed 7th Division of the Japanese Army had reached the final moment. Under the frenzied pursuit of the 4,000 cavalrymen of the Cavalry Division, more than 3,000 remaining Japanese soldiers, except for some
Except for the sporadic little devils who successfully escaped the pursuit of the cavalry division, all the main troops of the new seventh division have become the swordsmen of the soldiers. Even the commander of the new seventh division, Major General Ueda,
Also under the pursuit of the cavalry division, the corpses were separated and became the dead souls in the hands of the soldiers...
The newly formed Sixth Division also suffered heavy losses under the heavy encirclement and suppression of the Thirteenth Army. Under the cover of a large number of artillery, the Japanese army, located in the plains without any cover, could only be passively beaten. In less than a few hours,
In the bloody battle, out of more than 5,000 Japs, only less than 2,000 remained, tightly besieged. Almost every shot fired killed and injured at least one Japs, and the whole army was just one step away from being destroyed.
, it’s already a matter of time...
Of course, among the three battles, the most important and critical battle was the battle to encircle and suppress the Japanese headquarters.
With the addition of heavy artillery divisions and rocket launcher battalions, the Japanese army worked hard to build trench fortifications, but they were immediately razed to the ground. Facing the position that had been bombed to the ground, the logistics troops and heavy supplies had almost no combat effectiveness. Under the guidance of the soldiers,
Under the fierce attack, I could only watch the bullets flying in front of me, mercilessly shooting into my body...
"Your Excellency, Army Commander, the offensive of the Northeast Field Army on the periphery is really too fierce. Under the cover of a large number of heavy artillery, in less than two hours, our entire perimeter defense line was lost. Not one of the more than 5,000 soldiers escaped the net, and all were killed.
....." Listening to the sound of gunfire getting closer and closer to the headquarters, the chief of staff reported with a horrified look on his face...
Immediately afterwards, less than an hour later, when it was just getting dark, the horrified voice of the Chief of Staff's report sounded in Lieutenant General Nakajima's ears again...
"Your Excellency, Army Commander, something bad has happened. Our second line of defense was completely destroyed under the fierce attack of the Northeast Field Army. The more than 4,000 people who stayed on the line of defense were completely destroyed..."
"How could this happen to Bageya Road... Could it be that Amaterasu really no longer protects his people... Could it be that our 50,000-strong army can only hold on under the heavy encirclement and suppression of the Northeast Field Army?"
In one night..." At this moment, Lieutenant General Nakajima's face showed despair in addition to despair...
"Since the cunning Chinese people want to take our lives, then even if we die on the battlefield, we will make the Northeast Field Army outside pay an extremely heavy price..." After a brief moment of despair, Lieutenant General Nakajima's face immediately changed.
He showed the excitement before his death. Then, he said firmly to the officers in front of him.
"Now I order to gather all the remaining forces of the entire army, including the two tank squadrons, and all the staff, to be ready for battle, to be ready to attack at any time, and to deliver a thunderous blow to the Northeast Field Army on the periphery..."
"Ha Yi, I will go and get ready right away..." the chief of staff replied with a serious look on his face...
"Kill them, destroy the Chinese people in front of you..." Facing the Northeast Field Army that was so close in front of him and about to rush towards his headquarters, the lieutenant general standing on the tank immediately drew out his command knife and pointed it at him.
There were only a few hundred soldiers left behind him, and he ordered with a firm look on his face.
"Rumble..." A huge roar sounded. More than twenty tanks, under the personal command of Lieutenant General Nakajima, and hundreds of infantry, launched a mighty last counterattack before their death...
Seeing the murderous Japanese troops in front of them, the rapidly advancing soldiers immediately stopped their charge...
"Stop advancing and build fortifications on the spot...Bazooka launchers, come out immediately and destroy the Japs' tanks..." A series of orders were issued. Dozens of rocket launchers immediately shouldered the long barrels and appeared in the position.
Forefront.
"Chichi..." A stream of orange-red flames rose at the tail of the rocket launcher. Dozens of rockets immediately flew out of the long rocket launcher. Then, they hit the menacing tank in front of them very accurately...
"Boom boom boom..." A series of huge explosions sounded. More than 20 tanks, which Lieutenant General Nakajima had placed high hopes on, were all turned into piles of broken copper under the blows of rockets.
