Chapter seven hundred and twentieth beacon fire everywhere
Chapter 720: War on fire everywhere
When the Japanese army discovered dozens of medium-sized tanks in the tank regiment, they charged at the front of the tank regiment. Wang Sheng, the commander of the tank regiment in the tank regiment command car, also saw the tank regiment close at hand through the lookout, because his tank regiment's
The Japanese army's position suddenly fell into chaos. Dozens of light and heavy machine guns were seen on the Japanese army's position. Under the control of a little devil, they quickly sprayed out tongues of hot fire.
However, although the dense rain of bullets fired by the Japanese army was very dense, almost all of it was concentrated on the tank. However, the bullets hitting the front armor of the tank were like itching, except for shooting a series of flying sparks, nothing achieved.
Any substantial results.
Seeing the little Japanese lying in the trench in front of him, making no sense of resistance. The corner of the leader Wang Sheng's mouth immediately showed a sneer. Then, he gave a very decisive order to the communication radio in the tank.
"Now I order the tank regiment to concentrate all artillery fire and destroy all exposed fire points in the Japanese positions. All vehicle-mounted machine guns will increase the firepower output to kill ordinary Japanese infantry and prevent the Japanese from launching a suicide attack. In addition, contact the armored infantry regiment behind.
, speed up the charge, while protecting the tanks, expand the results, and eliminate the remaining Japanese troops on the position..."
"Boom, boom, boom..." The artillery equipped with more than 30 medium-sized tanks, almost immediately, let out a burst of intensive roars at the Japanese army's position, which was very close at hand... In an instant, the Japanese army's position continued to roar just now.
Dozens of flaming Japanese firepower points immediately disappeared with the explosion of artillery shells...
Just when the Japanese army lost its machine gun firepower and temporarily fell into chaos, more than 30 tanks immediately made a huge roar, spit out black smoke, and quickly rushed towards the Japanese position with the infantry behind them...
..
In the rear of the armored corps, under the protection of a tank battalion, Commander Su Yu was holding up a telescope and looking at the specific fierce battle of the tank regiment one kilometer away. At this moment, a communications staff officer was panting.
ran over. Then, he reported excitedly...
"Reporting to the commander, Commander Wang of the 1st Tank Regiment reported that the troops have successfully broken through the first line of defense of the Japanese army. Currently, the tank regiment is launching an assault on the second line of defense of the Japanese army..."
"Good fight, order the tank regiment to continue advancing. The first armored infantry regiment will follow up immediately to expand the results. At the same time, the safety of these tanks must be protected..." Commander Su Yu ordered with a smile on his face.
"Yes, Commander..."
In less than ten minutes, another communications staff officer appeared in front of Su Yu.
"Reporting to the commander, Commander Wang of the 1st Tank Regiment reported that the tank regiment has broken through the Japanese second line of defense and is advancing towards the Japanese third line of defense..."
"Reporting to the commander, the 1st tank regiment has broken through the Japanese army's third line of defense. Currently, the entire tank regiment is chasing and destroying the Japanese army's broken troops and launching an assault on Gaizhou City. Commander Wang requested artillery support and shelled Gaizhou City to provide
The tank regiment opened a passage into the city..."
"Convey my order, approve Commander Wang's combat request, order the artillery regiment to concentrate their artillery fire, blast a gap in the Gaizhou city wall for me, give me a tank regiment, and open a channel for attack. The first armored infantry regiment, immediately
Go forward, follow the tank regiment, rush into the city, and with the cooperation of the tank regiment, destroy the remnants of the Kwantung Army in the city..." Su Yu ordered with a smile on his face.
"Yes, Commander..."
"Wait a minute, report the victory to the commander-in-chief at the rear through the radio immediately. The first division of our armored corps won the first battle. After half an hour of fierce fighting, it successfully entered Gaizhou City and wiped out all Japanese troops... Please follow-up troops to hurry up,
Prepare to accept Gaizhou City..." Facing the communications staff officer in front of him, Su Yu, who was commanding armored troops for the first time, ordered with a heroic look.
"Boom, boom, boom..." After a round of artillery fire from the artillery regiment, a city wall located directly in front of the tank regiment was completely covered by the fierce artillery fire. At the same time, the roaring sound of the artillery was also heard immediately.
Inside the Japanese high command in the city.
Listening to the deafening explosion of artillery shells, feeling the shaking of the earth, looking not far away, the sky above the city wall has been completely illuminated by the firelight. In Gaizhou City, and in the entire command headquarters, the faces of every little devil are all because of the city wall.
The deafening explosion of artillery shells turned pale...
"Baga, how could this happen? I deployed a field infantry regiment outside the city, and it only lasted for less than half an hour before it was broken through. How could this happen? Can anyone tell me what it is?
What's going on..." The captain asked loudly to the chief of staff in front of him.
"Your Excellency, Captain, according to reports from troops outside the city, the Northeast Field Army used a large number of medium tanks in this attack. However, our troops defending outside the city do not have any anti-tank artillery at all, which can block the Chinese tank group attack.
….So, the three lines of defense only lasted for less than half an hour before they were broken through by the tank cluster of the Northeast Field Army…” the chief of staff replied in a low voice.
"On Bageya Road, the Chinese actually dispatched a tank cluster. They actually have a tank cluster. Quick, report to the commander of the Kwantung Army immediately. Gaizhou was violently attacked by the Northeast China Field Army. At the same time, the Chinese dispatched a large number of tank troops.
, Asking for tactical guidance, requesting tactical guidance..." After a brief shock, in the face of absolute strength, the commander had to lower his head. Then, he gave an urgent order to the chief of staff in front of him.
"Ha Yi, your Excellency the captain..."
However, what makes all the little devils in the city insignificant is that in the face of absolute disadvantage, the more than 2,000 defenders in the city. In addition to the puppet troops of more than 1,000 people, they surrendered collectively in the face of the intimidation of a tank regiment and dozens of tanks.
.The remaining nearly a thousand Japanese soldiers only lasted less than half an hour before the entire army was destroyed... And as the captain of the regiment, he did not wait for the arrival of reinforcements before he died.
"Report to the commander, Commander Wang of the 1st Tank Regiment reported that the 1st Tank Regiment has successfully occupied the Japanese regiment headquarters and killed the Japanese colonel commander. Currently, the 1st Armored Infantry Regiment is cleaning the battlefield and is requesting next instructions..." facing in front of him
Commander Su Yu, who was calm and confident, and the communications staff officer reported excitedly.
"The Japanese soldiers of an infantry regiment only held out for less than an hour. Under the attack of our 1st Armored Division, the entire army was destroyed. It seems that the combat effectiveness of the armored forces far exceeded our imagination. Order
, the 1st Tank Regiment immediately withdrew from Gaizhou City, replenished ammunition and fuel, and prepared to continue the offensive. The 1st Armored Infantry Regiment, except for leaving one battalion to clean the battlefield and wait for the guard division to accept it, the remaining two battalions immediately assembled.
Follow the tank regiment and continue to attack..." Commander Su Yu ordered with a confident look.
"Yes, Commander..."
In the headquarters of the Kwantung Army, as Beipiao and Yixian were suddenly attacked, all personnel became nervous almost immediately. The commander, General Mizu Umejiro, also immediately guarded the war room.
, waiting for the latest news from the two places...
"Your Excellency, Commander, Captain Ichiki Osaka of the Yixian Garrison Regiment sent a farewell telegram. After five hours of fierce fighting, the Yixian Garrison Regiment of more than 3,000 people has only less than one squadron left. At present,
The only remaining infantry squadron is making its final resistance with the wing headquarters as the center..." a major staff officer reported in a low voice.
"Asshole, for five hours, I held on tightly for less than five hours. A regiment of our Kwantung Army of the Imperial Japanese Empire was completely wiped out by the Northeast Field Army. Is it true that the combat effectiveness of the Chinese people has exceeded
Our Kwantung Army troops? Bagya Road! Where are our reinforcements? Why haven't the reinforcements sent by Jinzhou arrived in Yi County yet?" While furious, General Mitsu Umejiro asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Your Excellency, Commander, the headquarters received the latest battle report from Jinzhou City five minutes ago. According to the battle report, an hour ago, the reinforcements sent from Jinzhou direction were encountered by at least two main divisions of the Northeast Field Army in the Hezikou area.
As well as ambushes by a large number of artillery units. Currently, our reinforcements have been surrounded by the Northeast Field Corps and suffered heavy losses. We are looking for opportunities to break out..." Another major staff officer quickly reported.
"Bageya Road, order the air force to attack immediately after dawn and rescue the reinforcements. Yi County has been lost, and a regiment has been eaten by the Northeast Field Army. We must not lose an infantry regiment again.
…." General Mizu Umejiro ordered with an angry look.
"Ha Yi, Your Excellency Commander..."
However, less than ten minutes after General Mizu Umejiro's mood calmed down, another major staff officer rushed in with a panic look on his face. Then he reported in a low voice.
"Your Excellency, the Supreme Commander of the Beipiao garrison sent a farewell telegram...Beipiao City has been lost due to the fierce offensive of the Northeast Field Army. All the garrison troops were not spared and all were killed..."
"Nani, Beipiao fell... How could this happen? What does the Northeast Field Army want to do? Do they want to completely annihilate our hundreds of thousands of troops in southern Liaoning..." Once again, I heard a news that almost made people vomit blood.
General Mitsu Umejiro asked in confusion while being furious.
However, at this moment, no one in the entire war room dared to touch the brow of the commander in front of him at this time. Facing the commander's questions, they all lowered their heads and went about their business without saying a word.
matter.
After a brief silence, the chief of staff quickly walked into the war room, breaking the atmosphere in the war room. Then, he spoke again to the commander in front of him.
"Your Excellency, Commander, urgent call from Gaizhou. Half an hour ago, Gaizhou City was suddenly attacked fiercely by the Northeast Field Army. During the attack, the Chinese used a large number of artillery and tank groups. At present, all defense lines outside Gaizhou City have been
All have been breached. If nothing happens, Gaizhou City will fall within half an hour at most..."
"What are you talking about? Gaizhou City was also attacked by the Chinese. How is it possible..." General Mitsu Umejiro asked with an incredulous look on his face.
Taking the telegram from the hands of the chief of staff, General Mizu Umejiro began to browse it quickly. In just a moment, after confirming the authenticity of the telegram, General Mizu Umejiro's face turned pale. Then, the staff officer beside him
Under the surprised gazes of the personnel, the commander quickly rushed to the sand table and began to search for the specific location of Gaizhou City...
"No, Gaizhou City is a traffic artery that must pass between Lushun and Fengtian. The Northeast Field Army attacked Gaizhou City at this time and dispatched a large number of tank groups. Do they want to counterattack Dalian and Lushun?
In the hands of the Kwantung Army, seize the port of Port Arthur..." After thinking briefly about the combat sandbox in front of him, General Mitsu Umejiro frowned and asked with a shocked look on his face.
"Your Excellency, Commander, I believe that if nothing unexpected happens, the Northeast Field Army will make a big move in the near future. And the specific target of their move is Lushun and southern Liaoning..." Analysis of the Commander
, Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Toshima Botaro, also responded with great agreement.
"Baga...Immediately send a telegram to all the garrison troops stationed in Dalian and Lushun, asking all units to prepare for battle...At the same time, I telegraphed the air force to dispatch immediately after dawn to destroy the tank cluster of the Northeast Field Army. I
The tank troops of the Northeast Field Army are absolutely not allowed to continue to loot in front of our positions..." After hearing the answer from the Chief of Staff, General Mizu Umejiro no longer hesitated and ordered very resolutely.
"Ha Yi, your Excellency, Commander, is wise..."
Just when the chief of staff turned around and was about to leave, another combat staff officer rushed in with a look of panic. Then, he exclaimed to the commander in front of him.
"Your Excellency, Commander, there is an urgent call from Liaoyuan..."
"Liaoyuan, is Liaoyuan City also attacked by the Northeast Field Army?" General Mizu Umejiro, who had heard countless bad news in one day, frowned again and asked in silence.
"Ha Yi, the supreme commander of the Liaoyuan garrison sent an urgent message that a large number of Northeast Field Army troops have appeared in the Liaoyuan area. Preliminary statistics show that the total force has reached an astonishing 100,000 people... At present, these Northeast Field Army are completing the encirclement of Liaoyuan City. At most
In one day, the Northeast Field Army in the Meihekou area will complete the encirclement of Liaoyuan City and then launch an attack." The staff officer Major replied quickly.
"Baga, the cunning Chinese. Yixian, Beipiao, Gaizhou, Liaoyuan... were attacked at the same time. What did the Northeast Field Army want to do? Do they want to provoke a war and launch a large-scale counterattack against our Kwantung Army troops?
Damn...bastard, where did they come from with so many troops? Where is our intelligence department? Why didn't we notice anything about such a large-scale military operation by the Northeast Field Army..." Faced with one bad news after another, General Mizu Umejiro immediately
He directed his anger towards his subordinates, and then roared loudly.
"Your Excellency, Commander, according to the intelligence department's investigation, after several months of expansion, the total strength of the Northeast Field Army has doubled to an astonishing more than 400,000 people. In addition, due to several months of military confrontation,
The various units of the Northeast Field Army have been undergoing military maneuvers. Therefore, our intelligence department has no idea about the true intention of the various troop movements of the Northeast Field Army..." Faced with the commander's question, the chief of staff answered in a low voice.
road.
"Baga, the cunning Chinese people... the cunning Northeast Field Army... Chief of Staff, immediately send a telegram to all the ministries in the three eastern provinces, asking if there are any changes in all areas bordering the Northeast Field Army base area, and if there is any situation, immediately report
Report to the Kwantung Army Headquarters. In addition, send a telegram to the Liaoyuan garrison, ordering all Liaoyuan garrison troops to stand firm and wait for reinforcements. At the same time, telegram the Siping garrison troops to immediately dispatch a main division to reinforce Liaoyuan and ensure that
The Liaoyuan area is foolproof..." After sighing helplessly, General Mitsu Umejiro's face immediately showed a look of perseverance. Then, he ordered very decisively.
| "Hayi..."
However, what General Mizu Umejiro did not expect was that the ultimate goal of the Northeast Field Army operating in the Liaoyuan area was not to capture Liaoyuan, but to prepare for a siege of the Kwantung Army in the Changchun area with Liaoyuan as the center.
Call for reinforcements and kill a large number of the Kwantung Army's effective forces...
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye. What shocked General Mizu Umejiro was that in addition to the four cities of Beipiao, Yixian, Gaizhou, and Liaoyuan, which were violently attacked by the Northeast Field Army, there were also attacks in the Yanbian area.
The trend of large-scale gathering of the Northeast Field Army.
At the same time, Mudanjiang City, a military town located in southern Heilongjiang, also showed signs of activities of the Northeast Field Army. It is obvious that the Northeast Field Army, which occupied the southern region of Jilin, has begun to prepare to extend its tentacles to the Heilongjiang area...
"Immediately send a telegram to the Mudanjiang garrison and order the Mudanjiang garrison to strengthen their alert. At the same time, order the Harbin garrison to immediately dispatch a division of troops to strengthen the defense of the Mudanjiang area..." After reading a stack of telegrams in his hand,
Later, General Mizu Umejiro immediately ordered.
Seeing the major staff officer leaving quickly, General Mitsu Umejiro immediately set his sights on the combat sandbox in front of him. Then, facing the chief of staff beside him, he said helplessly: "Chief of Staff, at present, we are looking at
Come, with the beginning of the Northeast Field Army's counterattack, the entire three northeastern provinces are almost covered with flames... Today's Northeast Field Army, despite the fact that the Kwantung Army has not received sufficient ammunition supplies, already has the strength to engage in a strategic decisive battle with us.
