Ishihara Kanji and Yano Otonzaburo, two old Japanese soldiers, were standing on top of one of the Type 97 medium tanks two kilometers away from Tieling. They were in the middle of a huge armored group and an infantry group.
It's all plains, and there are hundreds of attack planes and fighter jets in the sky for protection, so the two old devils don't worry about their own safety at all.
Ishihara Kanji was not worried about his own safety, but he was extremely disappointed with the response of the Chahar Independent Group.
Seeing that the Chinese army in Tieling City never attacked, and there was no sign of tanks or aircraft, Ishihara Wanji couldn't help but sigh, and said to Yano Otonzaburo next to him: "Yano-kun, it seems that Xu Rui does not intend to attack.
The aviation force and the armored force will have a decisive battle with the imperial army face to face."
"Sodesna." Yano Otonzaburo said after a pause, "I really hope that the Chahar Independent Regiment can dispatch their aviation and tank troops to have an upright and direct decisive battle with the imperial army. In this case, the imperial army will
We can eliminate Xu Rui's aviation and tank troops in one battle, and the rest will be simple."
"That's why I say that Xu Rui is difficult to deal with. This guy will always try his best to make his opponent feel uncomfortable. The more we want him to do something, the less he will do it." Ishihara Wan'er shook his head and added
He said, "However, what puzzles me is where did Xu Rui hide his aviation unit and tank unit?"
"Yes, where is it hidden?" Yano Otonzaburo followed, "The aviation reconnaissance team has conducted a blanket search of Fengtian City and all surrounding areas, but they have not found even a single plane or tank!
Is this guy Xu Rui hiding fighter jets and tanks underground?"
Ishihara Wanji shook his head and said: "What I'm even more confused about is, why is Xu Rui hiding his aviation and tank troops? Isn't the aviation unit used for air combat? And the tank unit, isn't it?
Should it be used for field battles? Does he plan to use his tank troops in Fengtian street fighting?"
"In this case, it will be a good thing for the Imperial Army." Yano Otonzaburo said with a grim smile, "Because in street fighting, the Imperial Army's engineering troops are more likely to get close to the opponent's tanks, and the combat artillery troops are also easier to access.
It is easy to fire at close range, and no matter how strong the protection of the Chinese Soviet-made tanks is, they may not be able to withstand close fire from anti-war artillery."
"Xu Rui shouldn't be so stupid." Ishihara Wan'er shook his head and said, "If I guess correctly, he kept the aviation force and the tank force for the final breakout."
"Breaking through?" Yano Otozaburo said, "Xu Rui doesn't think that after our Seventh Army has returned with massive reinforcements and has already arrived at Fengtian City, their Chahar Independent Regiment will have a chance to break out, right?"
"This is exactly what I don't understand. I really can't imagine how the Chahar Independent Regiment can break out of Fengtian after our Seventh Army returns with massive reinforcements. In terms of strength, our Seventh Army has twenty
Ten thousand people, but the opponent only has 20,000 people. In terms of weapons, we have two armored divisions with nearly 400 tanks, and nearly 2,000 attack aircraft or fighter jets. However, Xu Rui only had more than 100 tanks.
Tanks and more than a hundred fighter jets." After a pause, Ishihara smiled and said, "What's more, Fengtian is located in the center of the Liaodong Plain, which is even less conducive to a breakout! So, I really can't imagine it.
, how should the Chahar Independent Regiment break out of the siege of our Seventh Army?"
Yano Otonzaburo pondered for a moment and then said: "Xu Rui is always cunning. There can't be any conspiracy in the middle, right?"
"Maybe, maybe there really is a conspiracy." Ishihara Wanji nodded slightly and said, "But what I want to say is that in the face of absolute hard power, all conspiracies and tricks are useless! So now, let's start with
Take Tieling, first eat the troops left by the Chahar Independent Regiment in Tieling, and then see how Xu Rui will react."
"Hai!" Yano Otozaburo gave a heavy pause, then turned to the messenger standing behind him and said, "Order, the second field artillery regiment prepares for artillery fire. A quarter of an hour after the bombardment, the first armored regiment immediately guides the second infantry regiment.
The wing launched an attack on the Tieling North Gate position, and the 6th, 12th, and 18th attack aircraft squadrons were responsible for air support."
"Hai!" the ordering soldier nodded, got into the command vehicle and conveyed the order.
…
At this time, inside Tieling City.
He Guangming handed the satchel filled with suicide notes from officers and soldiers to Yao Lei and said solemnly: "Little demon, I leave it to you."
Yao Lei did not reach out to pick up the satchel, but said with a pinched neck: "I won't go, battalion commander, you should find someone else!"
"Shut up!" He Guangming said coldly, "This is an order. Whoever I tell you to send it will do it. Just carry out the order!"
"I don't!" Yao Lei gritted his teeth and said, "Batalion Commander, I obey all other orders, but please forgive me for not being able to obey this order of yours. As the commander of the first company, at this time, I
I have to stay with all the brothers of the first company, otherwise am I still worthy of being the commander of this first company?"
"Simple." He Guangming said coldly, "You are being fucked now. From now on, you are no longer the first company commander, but just the correspondent of the battalion headquarters. Correspondent Comrade Yao Lei, now I order you in the name of the battalion commander to immediately
Bring the suicide notes and relics of all the brothers in the battalion back to the regiment headquarters, and then hand them over to the political commissar in person!"
"Batalion Commander, I..." Yao Lei's voice choked up.
Yao Lei knew He Guangming's intentions very well. He wanted to leave a seed for the First Battalion! The First Battalion could sacrifice itself in Tieling City for the benefit of the whole group, but it must not die! As for why it was him, Yao Lei, and not someone else,
That's because among all the company and platoon-level officers in the first battalion, he is the most outstanding.
He Guangming put the two satchels on Yao Lei's neck, then reached out and patted his shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Remember what the old officer once said, the heads of us Northwest men can be broken, but the blood can be shed, but
Don’t lose your soul! When the commander and his brothers break out in the future, you must lead another battalion for me!"
"Yes!" Yao Lei's eyes turned red immediately, and then he stood upright and saluted He Guangming with a military salute. Then he turned around and mounted an Asian horse that had been prepared long ago. He left the south gate of Tieling and faced Fengtian.
Speeding away in the direction, almost as soon as Yao Lei left the city gate, rows of cannonballs had already fallen into Tieling City.
A communications soldier walked into the war room with a solemn expression and reported to Xu Rui: "Captain, a heavy group of the Japanese Seventh Army has entered Tieling and launched a fierce attack on Tieling City five minutes ago!"
"Got it." Xu Rui waved his hand, signaling the signal soldiers to leave.
Watching the signal soldier go out, Wang Husheng suddenly said: "Old Xu, Tieling is not like Fengtian. It has neither built an air defense fire network nor dug tunnels. It only relies on the residential buildings in the city. If the first battalion wants to block Ishihara Wandi
It will be very difficult for the Seventh Army to stay for more than ten days."
After a pause, Wang Husheng said again: "How about sending another battalion up?"
"No." Xu Rui shook his head decisively and said, "I believe the first battalion can do it."
Wang Husheng patiently persuaded: "Old Xu, from a personal emotional point of view, I also want to believe that Yiying can do it, but emotions are emotions, and reason is another matter. With Yiying's current conditions, if we want to
It is really very difficult to hold Tieling for more than ten days. We Communists must pay attention to the objective laws of things, right?"
Xu Rui sighed softly and said: "Old Wang, if you want to say it is enough, even if the entire regiment is mobilized, it will not be enough. Ishihara Wan'er's Seventh Army has seven divisions, and two armored divisions exceed two.
One hundred thousand people! Therefore, even if our entire regiment is transferred to Tieling, I'm afraid it won't be enough to fill the gap between the enemy's teeth."
Wang Husheng also sighed because he knew what Xu Rui said was right.
The reason why the first battalion was ordered to guard Tieling for ten days was just to gain time, so that the main force of the regiment could better defend Fengtian City. To put it bluntly, this was to lose the troops to protect the commander. At this time, if more troops were sent to Tieling, it would be to sacrifice the strength and the weakness.
So we can only hope that the First Battalion can create a miracle.
But knowing that he knew it, Wang Husheng still felt sad in his heart.
At that moment, Wang Husheng said: "Old Xu, I'll go to the main tunnel to have a look."
Watching Wang Husheng go away, a look of determination flashed across Xu Rui's eyes. As the political commissar, Wang Husheng could not be in the regiment war room, but as the regiment leader, Xu Rui had to stay in the war room. Not only did he have to personally give the order
The order was to let the first battalion defend Tieling for ten days, but also to watch the first battalion fight to the death with the Japs in Tieling in the war room!
It is said that one general’s achievements lead to the death of thousands of bones. The world only sees famous generals stepping on thousands of bones to achieve glory that will go down in history. However, a few people have thought about it. In the constant battles, facing their comrades and subordinates leaving one after another, the hearts of famous generals
That sadness and panic? How many people have thought about the loneliness in the heart of a famous general when his name finally goes down in history?
If the world could be repeated, if there were choices in life, not many people would want to be such a famous general, right? At least Xu Rui doesn't want to. In fact, he would rather stay with his good friends and brothers and be an ordinary person all his life.
Man, war is really not a good thing.
Time is passing slowly.
Tieling battle reports were continuously transmitted to the regiment headquarters in Fengtian via radio waves.
The situation was very serious. The first battalion's three lines of defense outside the city collapsed under the first wave of the Japs' offensive. He Guangming originally boasted that the Japs would not be able to break into Tieling City within three days, but
The cruel reality dealt a heavy blow to He Guangming. In just the first wave of attacks, all three lines of defense outside the city were lost.
