Little Japan's response was not slow. Less than six hours after the first division was defeated, the Japanese base camp quickly made a decision and ordered the Far Eastern Army to return massive reinforcements! The Far Eastern Army also responded quickly after receiving the order, and the infantry
Because the distance between the cluster and the armored cluster was too far, there was no return reinforcement, but the main force of the aviation regiment quickly returned reinforcements.
Little Japan's response was not slow, but the Chahar Independent Regiment's response was faster!
After defeating the first division, Xu Rui immediately moved his regiment headquarters to Fengtian.
At this moment, the six cavalry battalions of the Chahar Independent Regiment were chasing the Japanese remnants of the First Division across the mountains and plains, but Xu Rui's regiment headquarters had already settled in the former Fengtian Military Police Headquarters. After settling in various offices,
Xu Rui immediately asked Digua to find Wang Husheng and discuss mobilizing the masses to resume production as soon as possible.
Other factories can take their time, but power plants, steel plants, chemical plants, and especially ordnance factories must resume production as soon as possible. Xu Rui also pointed to the weapons and ammunition produced by the ordnance factory to fight the Japanese who came back for reinforcements! If
Without the support of weapons and ammunition produced by the ordnance factory, the Chahar Independent Regiment, no matter how brave and capable it is, cannot sustain it for long.
Xu Rui said: "Old Wang, I won't say much more about the importance of resuming production at the ordnance factory as soon as possible. In short, this is directly related to whether the main force of the Japanese Far Eastern Army can be transferred back from the Siberian battlefield. If it fails, the consequences will be disastrous.
, so you must find a way as soon as possible to resume production in several major factories."
"I understand." Wang Husheng said, "I will find a way."
After sending Wang Husheng away, Xu Rui immediately asked Zhuoligetu to inform the Communications Department and send telegrams to each battalion, ordering tank battalion commander Mei Jiuling, independent flying brigade captain Boris, and the battalion commanders of the nine infantry battalions to come forward.
I came to the regiment headquarters for a meeting. As a result, the ten battalion commanders and one battalion captain did not arrive, but Leng Tiefeng came back first.
Now that the main force of the Chahar Independent Regiment has entered the city one after another, the Langya Brigade no longer needs to be stationed everywhere. After handing over the factories and warehouses to the troops who came to take over, Leng Tiefeng led the Langya Brigade.
The Ya brigade returned to the regiment headquarters, taking the time to rest and have a meal while preparing for the next mission.
Leng Tiefeng said: "Old Xu, it's much easier to blitz Fengtian than I thought."
"That's because your Langya Brigade performed so well!" Xu Rui shook his head and added, "If it weren't for the fact that your Langya Brigade captured Fengtian without a single blow and completely took over all the factories in the city, it would have been impossible for the First Division to return.
If the First Division does not return reinforcements, it will not be defeated by us so quickly. In this case, everything will be different."
Leng Tiefeng waved his hand and said: "Old Xu, please don't praise our Langya team too highly. I'm afraid of heights."
"I'm not complimenting you." Xu Rui said with a smile, "Your performance in this surprise attack on Fengtian is indeed outstanding. I have asked Lao Wang to send a telegram to Yan'an to ask for credit for you."
"Speaking of Yan'an..." Leng Tiefeng paused and said faintly, "Old Xu, you twice launched a large-scale blitzkrieg without asking for permission, especially this time to attack the three eastern provinces. You were almost here to die! Yan'an
What are you talking about? Are we going to punish you again and make you the kitchen monitor or something?"
"Punishment?" Xu Rui took out a telegram like a magic trick and said with a smile, "This is the commendation telegram just sent from Yan'an, specifically to commend us for our outstanding performance in the blitzkrieg operations in North China and the three northeastern provinces. *** was alone.
He praised me and called on the commanders and fighters in various base areas to learn from me, hehe."
"Really?" Leng Tiefeng raised his eyebrows and said, "Then you will become a star."
Xu Rui sighed, shook his head and said, "If I had a choice, I would rather not be this star."
Leng Tiefeng's expression became serious and he said in a deep voice: "Old Xu, if the Japs really come back in a big way, especially the Japs' aviation force, do we really have no chance at all?"
"There is still a chance." Xu Rui said solemnly, "In half a month, as long as the Japs don't come back in a big way within half a month, we have at least half a chance of making a comeback! If the Japs can't come back within three months
, then I’m sorry, the entire three eastern provinces belong to our Chahar Independent Regiment! By then it will be useless for the entire Far Eastern Army division to return for reinforcements.”
Leng Tiefeng said: "What if the little devil returns in large numbers within half a month?"
Xu Rui said: "If this is the case, we will have no chance of winning at all."
Leng Tiefeng said: "Then do you think it is possible for the little devil to come back within half a month?"
"This is certain." Xu Rui said, "If it takes as little as three days or as many as five days, the little Japs will definitely come back in large numbers!"
The top management of the Japs struggled for a long time on whether to return aid in a large scale, but Xu Rui had predicted from the beginning that the Japs would definitely return aid in a large scale and would not give him the opportunity to conquer and manage the three eastern provinces.
Leng Tiefeng frowned and said: "Then you still let Lao Wang work hard to find a way to resume production? Isn't it unnecessary?"
What Leng Tiefeng meant was that the Japs would definitely come back with reinforcements within half a month, and Fengtian City would not be able to hold on anyway, so why bother trying to restore production? It would be better to just blow it up.
"You are wrong." Xu Rui waved his hand and said, "Everything is done in advance, and failure in advance will lead to failure. Even if there is only one percent chance, we have to work a hundred times harder! What if? What if there is a small chance?
What if the Japanese encounter unexpected circumstances and cannot come back within half a month? By then it will be too late to try to improvise and resume production!"
After a pause, Xu Rui continued: "What's more, even if the little Jaap doesn't encounter any accidents, even if the Japs come back within half a month, after Fengtian Ordnance Factory resumes production, the weapons produced will never be wasted!
The ammunition will also greatly support our subsequent street fighting in Fengtian City!"
Leng Tiefeng's expression became fierce and he said in a deep voice: "Street fighting?"
Xu Rui chuckled and asked: "Veteran, don't you think that we have completed our mission after forcing the Japs to return to Fengtian in a large scale, right? So we should return to North China next, right?"
"Shouldn't it be like this?" Leng Tiefeng frowned, "Fengtian is not a place where the Japanese will stay for a long time after they return to help!"
"I'm afraid I can't go back." Xu Rui sighed and said, "The Japs are returning in a big way, and the first to arrive must be the aviation force. The Japs aviation force coming back this time is no longer the rookie aviation force they encountered in the North China battlefield, let alone the Dongfang aviation force.
The rookie aviation force of the Japanese navy that the three provinces encountered was an elite aviation group trained on the Chinese battlefield!"
After a pause, Xu Rui continued: "Faced with such an elite aviation force, our independent flying brigade may not even have the slightest chance. Without the protection of the aviation force, on the vast Liaodong Plain, our infantry
The cavalry and tanks will become easy targets for the Japanese aviation."
Leng Tiefeng said: "At worst, break out separately. It's not like we haven't done it before."
Xu Rui said: "In the past, it would have been a big deal to break out in separate groups, but this time it won't work, because the Japanese who came back not only had aviation units, but also infantry groups and tank groups! In this case, breaking out in separate groups would basically be the same.
If you disarm yourself, you will easily be surrounded and eaten by the Japanese."
Leng Tiefeng immediately fell silent, because Xu Rui was right.
In fact, the so-called splitting up to break out is a no-brainer. Every time you split up to break out, even if you finally succeed in breaking out, which time will you have to peel off the skin? It would be good if one-third of the troops that break out in the end! And that's still
In complex mountainous terrain, if it is a plain, the success rate is even lower!
What's more, the Japanese who returned to support this time also had a large number of tanks!
Therefore, breaking out separately at this time is basically courting death.
At this time, Digua suddenly said: "How about evacuating in advance?"
This time, Xu Rui simply ignored Sweet Potato and evacuated? Is he really stupid to be a little devil?
Leng Tiefeng ignored the sweet potatoes and sighed, "So, we can only fight in the streets."
Xu Rui nodded and said: "In fact, street fighting is not bad. What we are best at is street fighting, and the Japanese gave us a few days to prepare, which is even more advantageous!" After a pause, Xu Rui said again, "
More importantly, if we want to exhaust all the potential of the Japs in one battle and make them unable to launch large-scale offensive operations, we must fight a large-scale street battle with the Japs in Fengtian City!"
Leng Tiefeng nodded and said: "I understand!"
To put it bluntly, without the protection of aviation, it is indeed difficult for the Chahar Independent Regiment to break out from the enemy's encirclement, but it is definitely not without a chance. At a certain price, the Chahar Independent Regiment can
In fact, there is still a chance to break out and return to the North China battlefield.
But the problem is that even if you go back, you will never be able to withstand the enemy's pursuit. By that time, not only Tianjin and Peking, which were previously liberated, will not be able to hold on, but even hundreds of surrounding counties will be completely lost.
In this way, the situation immediately returns to the beginning.
In other words, the results of the two blitzes of the Chahar Independent Regiment were in vain!
This result was unacceptable to Xu Rui and all the officers and soldiers of the Chahar Independent Regiment.
That's why Xu Rui decided to fight a large-scale street battle with the Japanese Far Eastern Army in Fengtian, striving to exhaust the Japanese war potential in one battle, forcing them to be unable to return to North China on a large scale. Even if they did go back, they would be at best
While large and medium-sized cities such as Peiping and Tianjin were restored, the previously lost county seats were unable to be recaptured.
"Understood!" Leng Tiefeng nodded and said, "If we really want to fight the Japs on a large scale in Fengtian, it is indeed necessary to resume production at the Fengtian Ordnance Factory! But what should we, Langya, do?
Woolen cloth?"
"Hurry up and eat and sleep!" Xu Rui said, "Recharge your batteries!"
