"Are the ministries ready?" Gan Xinda looked at his chief of staff and asked.
"Yes, it's ready."
"Okay, once the rain stops, attack on all fronts!"
"yes!"
Gan Xinda looked at the map, which showed the strength of the enemy and our forces. This battle was the first battle he had commanded. Zhou Weiguo had already won the first level for him. He could not lose this battle no matter what.
Chengde, as the gateway to the puppet Manchukuo, is the first position they need to capture! Then they can advance to the northeast!
The three eastern provinces have fallen into the hands of the Japanese since the September 18th Incident, and have always been regarded as their own territory. Zhou Weiguo knew very well, and Gan Xinda also knew very well that if they wanted to attack the Japanese and the Japanese troops in other places, it would be better to
Attack the Kwantung Army! Why?
The Kwantung Army was the true elite of the Japanese Army.
Once the Kwantung Army is defeated, the Japanese will have no way to hold on.
The reason is very simple.
It is also the most direct idea for the independent division to regain lost ground.
In their war with Japan, they will not pray for others to help them fight against Japan because the Japanese army lost in the Pacific, nor because the Japanese army has turned against Europe and the United States. This war, from beginning to end, is only for them!
…
The rain finally stopped, but the sky was still gray.
Zhou Weiguo sat in the yard, looking at the scenery after the rain. The world was desolate, but the sunshine that had not yet shone between the clouds, wasn't it hope?
Before the light comes, the world must be dark and stormy.
A ray of sunshine, just like that, seemed to penetrate the thick clouds and pour down, and then the entire sky lit up.
The counterattack is about to begin.
…
"Drive out the Japanese pirates! Restore China! Today!"
“Get rid of the Japanese pirates!”
"Restore China!"
Before the battle, the generals also mobilized the soldiers!
"Brothers! This battle! It is a crucial battle for our independent division!"
"We will open the door to the three eastern provinces!"
"We will kill all the Japanese!"
"We will once again bring the three northeastern provinces into the embrace of our Chinese people!"
"Are you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid!"
"Don't be afraid!"
"Till death!"
"Till death!"
Seeing the shouts and movements of the soldiers below, the generals on the stage also nodded to each other. For them, there is no room for failure in this battle!
"attack!"
"Set off!"
…
First, the buzzing sound of airplanes appeared above everyone's heads, and they knew that it was the dispatch of their own air force.
Rows of iron birds are magnificent.
It was traveling extremely fast, and in just an instant, it flew from a distance directly above their heads.
The white wings blocked the sunlight, and then quickly left.
They know that the air force brothers have already set off to attack! Next, it will be their turn!
"Set off!"
…
"It's a pity that it has been raining for so long and the road conditions are not very good." Gan Xinda looked at the map on the table. "The tank brigade has no way to attack."
It has been raining for several days and the ground is soft and wet. A tank is not suitable for it. After all, the body is too big and heavy.
Originally, in North and Northeast China, the Japanese had to build roads and prepare to open up various transportation lines.
Unfortunately, before Peiping could reach the outskirts of Chengde, it was captured by the independent division.
"It's a pity." Zhou Weiguo nodded. Although he was not the commander of this battle, as a division commander, he still needed to know first-hand the battle reports on the front line. "When Chengde is captured, you can have someone repair the road here.
."
"Yes, Master."
"Che Zhihuan, Monk Xingshang and the others..."
Zhou Weiguo was silent. The two brigades almost fought for that position. Of course, they also almost fought for the two Japanese divisions.
Every knife sees blood.
Mountains of corpses.
Blood is like a river.
The rain is like a curtain.
Zhou Weiguo seemed to be able to imagine that that night seemed to be not much different from the night when he made a surprise attack on the Japanese positions.
"Let them have a good rest first. After this battle, they will reorganize." Zhou Weiguo said calmly. He was not ruthless, but as a division commander, he had to calm himself down.
"Yes." Gan Xinda nodded, and the headquarters fell silent.
On the front line, the sound of gunfire has already begun.
The rain stopped and the sky was bright. When Sun Fugui received a report from his subordinates that the Japanese had built another line of defense five miles away, he immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "You little Japanese are so scheming!"
"That's a good plan!" Tangshan nodded and pointed to the distance on the map, "It's five miles from our place to the Japanese's new defense line. Tens of thousands of soldiers can be deployed, but there is no cover! Once the Japanese bombard us, we will definitely suffer casualties.
heavy!"
Sun Fugui was silent, what Tangshan said was true!
The distance of five miles seems not far away. But once tens of thousands of their troops start attacking the Japanese defense line from here, they will be the ones who suffer the greatest losses!
"Unless we can rush over quickly and directly rush into the Japanese defense line to fight with the Japanese!" Tangshan said again, "But obviously, since the Japanese have recast their defense line, they will not give us such a chance!"
"The attack has already started in several other directions. Ronaldinho and the others are almost here!" Sun Fugui frowned, "It can't be possible. Our original plan was to be blocked by the Japanese's small defense line when we got here, right?"
"No! So! We need to request air force support!" Tang Shan curled his lips, "If this line of defense is directly destroyed by the air force, then do the Japanese still need to ambush?"
Sun Fugui narrowed his eyes, "Good boy! Let's go, get on the telegram right now!"
…
"Hesori-kun, the independent divisions have launched attacks in several other defense zones, but why are we here?"
A Japanese major general frowned and looked at the motionless enemy, not knowing how to explain it.
"Perhaps they are also hesitating! After all, the terrain of these five miles is really too eye-catching!" Hessen frowned and looked at the sky with a bad premonition. He seemed to have forgotten that the independent division's air force
!No less than the air force of their Kwantung Army!
In other words, their air force has never gained any benefit from the air force of the independent division!
They are building airplanes and training pilots like crazy!
Isn’t it because the Air Force suffered too many losses on the Chinese battlefield?
They are mining resources and transporting supplies like crazy. Is it because the battlefield is too huge and they don't have enough military supplies?
"Remember to always be prepared for the anti-aircraft weapons on the position!" Hessen said, "We will think of it, and the Independent Division will also think of it. So, I guess they will use their most powerful weapon now! The independent division's air force to attack us
!As long as our line of defense is destroyed, it doesn’t matter whether we ambush or not!”
"I understand, let's make arrangements now." Another Japanese major general nodded. In fact, when building the defense line, places for anti-aircraft weapons were reserved because they expected that this would be a battle.
A protracted battle.
Independent divisions are not that easy to deal with!
