Chapter Five Hundred and Fortieth Japanese Retreat
Tanks are undoubtedly the most important weapons of World War II. Compared with the great powers, Fengjun's industrial system is still quite backward. Only by conducting research in advance and letting the stupid bird fly first can it be able to compete with the great powers. Fengjun's tanks are not built to cope with the current situation.
Threat, but a set of long-term plans.
At this time, Xiong Mengyuan also said to Zhang Tinglan: "Commander, the speed of this tank is still too slow. In the final analysis, the engine power is insufficient. We just want to engage in technical cooperation with Germany. It is best to get the engine technology from them. Not only
It’s a gasoline engine. It’s best to get diesel engine technology. If nothing else, diesel is cheaper!”
Xiong Mengyuan laughed loudly as he spoke. Fengjun was willing to spend money on equipment, but he also required that every penny be spent wisely. With such a small family background, he could not help but waste it. Currently, diesel is just a waste product in the petroleum refining process.
, the price is very low, and the safety of diesel is much better than gasoline. Judging from the development of tanks, diesel engines are still the direction of the future.
Zhang Tinglan also supported this suggestion. He said with a smile: "The factory we originally built tractors came from Russia, and then we got the tractor production line in the United States. Now we have to introduce German technology, and we should also do a systematic integration work.
, forming our own technical characteristics."
"The commander-in-chief is absolutely right!" Tao Jiping said hurriedly: "I have ordered two sets of tractor production lines from Germany, and I am also discussing the supporting engine factory and bearing factory. As long as the talks are concluded, we will use German technology
standards, and then cooperate with those Russian professional technicians to build a large-scale tracked vehicle production base. It mainly produces agricultural tools in peacetime, and fully produces tanks in wartime, integrating military and civilian operations. This is what the commander-in-chief has always emphasized."
Zhang Tinglan added: "Don't just focus on large tractors. In fact, some small vehicles also play a big role. After the engine factory is built, single-cylinder diesel engines of about ten horsepower can be mass-produced. The technology is simple and has a wide range of uses. It can be
Producing small agricultural vehicles can also be used as tractors for artillery, and can be used for transportation. They can also be popularized on farms on a large scale. It has dual-use, both military and civilian, and benefits both sides!"
The small diesel engine Zhang Tinglan mentioned was widely used in later generations. It can be used for plowing, sowing, transplanting rice, and generating electricity. After being installed in a carriage, it can also be used for transportation. As long as a family has one, it can handle almost all farm work.
The investment is not much, but the benefits are amazing. Zhang Tinglan certainly wants to promote this kind of good thing. And once a large number of farmers learn to drive farm machinery, when war comes, they can be directly recruited into the army. Let them drive tanks and go into battle. This kind of
Drivers are also considered a type of human resources!
After Tao Jiping understood what Zhang Tinglan meant, he couldn't help but said: "The commander-in-chief is far-sighted and thoughtful. We can only try our best to complete the task. We will definitely live up to the commander-in-chief's trust."
After leaving the arsenal, Zhang Tinglan was planning to go to the aircraft factory to see the situation. King Bayu Zao helped them set up separate design teams, and now they are all working hard. Feng Jun has used the aircraft as a weapon. They also feel the huge pressure on their shoulders.
There have been some results recently.
But just as Zhang Tinglan was about to go over, Chang Yinhuai hurriedly came over. The intelligence chief looked panicked. Zhang Tinglan knew something big was going on at the first sight, and hurriedly returned to the commander's mansion with him.
Just after sitting down, Chang Yinhuai said: "Commander, the Japanese sent one unit each of the 12th Division and the 7th Division from the direction of Chita, totaling more than 15,000 people, toward Mount Aleksandar.
Drovsk advanced, and they also sent troops from Khabarovsk, apparently trying to break our blockade from both ends."
After hearing this, Zhang Tinglan smiled and said: "The Japanese are still unwilling to reconcile and want to unite the troops. This is a wishful thinking. The Japanese troops staying in Chita are a group of hostages in our hands. How can we let them escape! Give it to Li Jinglin immediately
Give an order to him to send troops directly to control the railway. In addition, to increase the deterrence in the direction of Khabarovsk, the second and fourth divisions of the border defense army are mobilized and assume an offensive posture."
As Zhang Tinglan spoke, he stared at the map, using the weak to resist the strong. He was not afraid of being swallowed by whales, but afraid of cannibalization! This is Zhang Tinglan’s experience gained from many battles with the Japanese. Japan has many more cards than Fengjun. If
If they play their cards according to the routine without any pain, the Japanese will have all the advantages, and Fengjun will soon be at a disadvantage.
Only with an attitude of risking one's life can the real effect be achieved. Just like right now, the Japanese are deploying troops, most likely because they want to control the war in one place. Zhang Tinglan will not be stupid. If he wants to fight, he will start a full-scale war.
Play with a big one.
"Give Jiang Dengxuan an order to lead the Third Division of the Border Defense Army, plus two independent mixed brigades, to station in Suifenhe, and to assume a posture of attacking Vladivostok. Then let Qin Wei dispatch from Outer Mongolia to steal the retreat of the Japanese army in Chita
, as long as the Japanese dare to fire the first shot, we will attack across the board and strive to kill the Japanese troops in the Far East!"
Zhang Tinglan was indeed rude in taking action. After the order was issued immediately, Fengjun heard the news and quickly mobilized his army to press forward with an overwhelming momentum.
All kinds of advanced equipment were constantly transferred to the front line, and local militias were also mobilized to deliver large quantities of supplies to the front line. The entire three eastern provinces seemed to have entered a state of war in an instant.
Just as the Feng army was mobilizing, Kinoshita Usaburo, commander of the Japanese 12th Division, also led more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers to leave Chita quickly and roll eastward along the Siberian Railway.
As one of Japan's main divisions, the 12th Division was the first group of troops to intervene in Russia. The entire division was full of arrogance, as if no one looked down upon it. I heard that Torajiro Nishikawa was beaten to death by Fengjun.
After all, they didn't feel any fear. Instead, they only thought that Nishikawa was a loser. If they were to take action, they would never lose to the sick man of East Asia and the utterly useless China people.
According to Kinoshita Usaburo's plan, if the Feng army dared to resist the Japanese army, the two sides would go to war directly. He led his men into Manchuria and occupied the most fertile land. The severe cold in the Far East has made the Japanese complain endlessly. Here
It's not the place they should come, and the rich mainland China makes them salivate even more.
However, the Japanese marching route was not smooth. The rails were frequently damaged along the way. These were the work of the Russian guerrillas. They demolished the rails. This is very good steel, which can be used to make weapons. With weapons
, and then attack the Japanese again, almost forming a virtuous circle.
The Japanese built the railway all the way. It was originally a two or three-day journey, but they walked for ten days before finally arriving at Alexandrovsk. But after arriving here, they suddenly felt that something was not good, and Fengjun arrived early.
Be prepared.
Defense fortifications were densely deployed along the railway line. These fortifications were personally arranged by Li Jinglin. They extended from the original defense system of Jiangdong No. 64 Tun, passed through Alexandrovsk, and then extended 20 kilometers north.
The large fortifications were like a huge stone gate, cutting off the Siberian Railway at once. It was simply wishful thinking for the Japanese to cross it.
The fortifications are not only long. They are also 20 kilometers wide at their widest point. Being able to achieve this level in a short period of time is also inseparable from so many years of hard training. Fengjun's engineering team has reached a very professional level.
From the outermost mine array, to the barbed wire fence, and then to the dense tunnels, a complete defense system was formed. Kinoshita Usaburo personally stared at it with a telescope. The more the old guy looked at it, the colder he became, although he still maintained the unique arrogance of the Japanese.
, look down on Fengjun at all.
But he also knew the current situation of the Japanese army. They were short of food and clothing. They were seriously short of ammunition, and they had been tortured by the Russians for so long. Their actual combat effectiveness had been greatly reduced. If they were to fight against the well-equipped and well-prepared Feng army, the outcome would probably not be too bad.
Okay. The old guy has also begun to rush to Xichuan. No wonder he hates Outer Mongolia. Fengjun’s progress in the past two years is really amazing!
The Japanese were observing Feng Jun, and Li Jinglin was also observing them: "Damn it, with me here, the little devils can't even think about it. Order the brothers to get ready. As long as the Japanese dare to fire the first shot, they will beat me to death."
I don’t even recognize him anymore!”
All the Fengjun soldiers went to prepare, and everyone was eager to try. However, after two days in a row, the Japanese did not launch an attack except for probing, and the two sides remained in a strange stalemate.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, we don't have much food brought from Chita. We can only hold on for five more days." His quartermaster reported the situation to Kinoshita Usaburo.
The division commander frowned. He had just received a notice from the Japanese cabinet. He already knew the news about the large-scale mobilization of Fengjun. If the first shot was fired, the entire situation would be out of control. Kinoshita Usaburo would indeed find it difficult
Not to mention him, not even Japanese Prime Minister Keihara Hara does not have the courage to make such a decisive decision.
"Reporting to the division commander, this is a letter from Major Yamaki. I want to deliver it to you personally."
When Kinoshita Usaburo heard that his officer had rashly sent him a letter, he was full of doubts and hurriedly opened it and read it. Without even looking at it twice, this man jumped up and cursed loudly: "Baga!" His facial features were a little moved.
Positioned.
What makes Kinoshita so angry is that the content of this letter is too shocking. That Major Yamaki thinks that the Japanese upper echelons are a bunch of cowards and dare not go to war against the Chinese. He wants to use his own blood to awaken the Japanese warriors.
Spirit. Shan Mu contacted some like-minded young officers, hoping to launch a desperate charge against Feng Jun and kick off the war between the two sides.
Seeing this, how could Kinoshita not be angry? "These hot-headed bastards, don't they know the consequences of hasty decisions? Arrest them all quickly!"
"Division commander, it's too late, these people have already started taking action." the intelligence officer reported to Kinoshita Hui.
Kinoshita Usaburo sat down on his seat. As the saying goes, there is no turning back once the first shot is fired. The situation in the Far East will be completely out of control. No one is sure what the outcome will be.
But some things are beyond his control. Who knows that the Japanese have the tradition of defeating superiors? Kinoshita thought for a while and said: "The whole army is ready. If Major Yamaki dies in battle, we will immediately launch an attack on the Chinese people and let them taste it."
Get a taste of what it's like to go against the Empire."
Just after Usaburo Kinoshita gave the order, the chief of staff suddenly stumbled in and almost fell to the ground.
"Something bad has happened. The Russians have invaded Chita!"
As soon as he heard the news, Kinoshita Usaburo felt like a thunderclap. It was even more explosive than the news just now. His hands and feet were cold, and his heart was full of bitterness. Chita was his base camp. If he lost it, what else would happen?
In the battle with Fengjun, why did all the bad luck happen to me?
"Tell me clearly, how did the Russians enter Chita?"
"After we left Chita with our elite forces, the forces of the Russian majority party rushed to the Far East. This time there were more than 50,000 regular troops. They took advantage of the opportunity along the railway line and, with the help of the guerrillas, had already
After entering Chita, our soldiers were defeated step by step."
After confirming this information, Kinoshita Usaburo finally felt fear, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat. He hurriedly said to his subordinates: "Immediately retreat ten kilometers to the west. Don't conflict with Fengjun."
"Division commander, what should Major Yamaki and the others do?"
"No matter what they do, we are almost dead!"
boom!
A Japanese soldier stepped on a landmine, and the violent explosion blew off his left leg. The shrapnel also scratched his lower body, and there was blood everywhere. This guy made his parents scream in pain.
The other twenty-odd Japanese soldiers paid no attention to him and continued to rush forward. From time to time, mines were triggered, and five people were killed and injured along the way. They finally approached Fengjun's position. A young officer held up a command knife.
, shouting "Bai Zhi", rushed towards the Fengjun position.
Their desperate charge surprised Feng Jun, who thought Japan was preparing for a large-scale attack. However, he soon discovered that there were only a few dozen of them, and they were just here to die.
They were getting closer and closer, but no conspiracy could be seen. Fengjun's machine gun finally started to move, and like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, it killed all of Shan Mu's Maj.
He was blown away, his brains were everywhere, and his death was extremely miserable.
However, when he was dying, Yamaki was still a little bit happy. He might be able to leave his name at the Yasukuni Shrine like his predecessors. But who knew that after he died, the Japanese army did not start a war at all, but instead retreated ten kilometers back.
, as if there were no more than twenty people.
Yang Yuting smiled and said to Zhang Tinglan: "Commander, good news. The Japanese asked the Americans to take the lead and want to settle this dispute with us and restore the Siberian Railway as soon as possible."
When Zhang Tinglan heard the news, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It seems that God is not willing to bless the Japanese. Our request is also very simple, let the Japanese take the initiative to admit their mistakes and apologize for invading Chinese territory!" (
