"Jinzhou...Jinzhou..."

Zhang Zuoxiang paced in his study with his hands behind his back, muttering "Jinzhou" in his mouth. On the wall of the study, there was a military map of the Daling River in Jinzhou, which was densely marked with the names of the various armies. No. There are Northeast Army and Communist Army, but the position of the Japanese army's front to the east of Daling River is blank.

Standing behind him were Jiang Dengxuan and Yang Yuting. Their faces were ashen at the moment, and their four eyes were fixed on the map.

Half a day later, Zhang Zuoxiang shook his head and sighed with concern: "30 troops, more than 400 cannons, including [-] elite communist troops. So many people, so many cannons, this battle It should be a little bit sure... Even if it can be a tie... This Northeast is left to the young commander by the veteran!"

"What the assistant commander said is that as long as this battle is won...the Northeast still belongs to the old Zhang family! That Wang Zhongyi has to go back to Mongolia honestly!" Jiang Dengxuan, who was ordered to stay in Harbin, is actually loyal to the Zhang family, and he agrees The eastward advance of Wang Zhongyi's troops was actually forced by the pressure of the Japanese army. At this moment, it is natural to hope that the Northeast Army and the Communist Army can win in Jinzhou.

But Yang Yuting smiled lightly, with a trace of sarcasm on his livid face: "How many pounds does the Northeast Army have, and how much skill does the Guo devil have? We don't know yet? It would be nice to lose a little less in this battle! To win... unless the Communist Party It is agreed to allow the Kuomintang army to station along the Jinpu Road and pull the National Revolutionary Army up..."

Zhang Zuoxiang rolled a blank look at Yang Yuting: "Ling Ge! Why don't you look forward to something better? Han Qing is also the blood of a veteran, even if he doesn't deal with you... he still has to look at the face of the veteran..."

"Auxiliary Commander!" Yang Yuting stomped his feet: "War can be won by hope? This battle is really impossible to win! Don't talk about anything else, but talk about the hard work the Japanese have put in in our Northeast for more than [-] years." , It’s enough for us to drink a pot! There may be more than one Xiqia in our Northeast Army! The Japanese can accurately grasp the itinerary of the old man’s return to the Northeast last year. There is a copy! How do you say this battle is going to be fought? In my opinion... we can't have so many illusions, we have to take advantage of the situation where the victory in Jinzhou is not yet decided to expand the army, whether it is the Kuomintang or Wang Zhongyi. Okay... for now, defending Beiman is the last word!"

Zhang Zuoxiang frowned, turned his head and glanced at Jiang Dengxuan behind him: "Chao Liu, what do you think?"

Jiang Dengxuan nodded first, then shook his head, and finally smiled wryly: "No, no, the battle of Jinzhou is more than good! The young commander and Guo Maochen may have to fight. And...even if they beat back Dalinghe's face-to-face The enemy of the enemy, wait until the reinforcements of the devils arrive, this battle will still be lost! I'm afraid we have to prepare for the worst..."

……

At the same moment, in a luxurious villa on Sun Island in the north of Harbin City, Luo Yaoguo, Wang Zhongyi and others were also holding teacups and discussing their plans after the defeat in the Battle of Jinzhou!The atmosphere in the room was tense.

Regarding the defeat in the Battle of Jinzhou, Luo Yaoguo was full of confidence!Because at this moment, Wan Yanhao, who is in charge of intelligence work in the Northeast, has brought a copy of the Jinzhou Battle Plan formulated by Guo Songling from Yoshiko Kawashima to him!Now that Yoshiko Kawashima has already got the hole card of the Northeast Army, will Takashi Hishikari not have it on hand?It would be unreasonable for the Japanese to lose such a battle.

Most of the generals of the Kuomintang and Wang Zhongyi's system present here now have gloomy faces, shaking their heads and sighing constantly, exchanging opinions in low voices from time to time, and what they say is complaining about the Northeast Army.Only the handsome Lin Yurong didn't say a word, just looked at the frowning faces of the Whampoa seniors in the corner, while he snickered there.Doesn't look like a nice guy...

Luo Yaoguo was another person with a smile on his face, his eyes looked around the room, and finally fell on the smiling Lin Yurong: "Yurong, what do you think about the situation after the Battle of Jinzhou? "

Hearing Luo Yaoguo's question, Lin Yurong quickly put away his inappropriate facial expressions, and put on a serious face: "Mr. Fu, how the students think the situation will develop after the Jinzhou Battle depends on whether we can make good use of the Jinzhou Battle. The precious time I bought.” His tone suddenly became more serious: “In addition, it depends on whether the Fu Gong and the Nationalist Government can find a way to extend the time of the Jinzhou Battle... If this battle can be fought for three months, our Anti-Japanese Alliance can at least expand. With an army of 30, the transfer of materials and baggage can be completed, and the layout of the mountainous areas of Western Liaoning, Changbai, and Daxing’an Mountains can also be completed. Even if Harbin is not guaranteed, we can maintain the war situation!"

Luo Yaoguo nodded with a smile: "Maintain the war situation! That's a good point. Before the KMT and the Communist Party can truly unite and unite to the outside world, the situation in the Northeast can only be maintained. Yurong, from what you said just now, it seems that you have no idea how to maintain this situation. Already have a comprehensive plan for the situation? Let’s talk about it, shall we?”

Lin Yurong glanced at Wang Zhongyi, saw that he was also nodding with a smile, and then he stood at attention, respectfully and respectfully saluted Luo Yaoguo: "The humble official is so bold. The humble official believes that the key to maintaining the Northeast War is to have an offensive There are defenses, there are frontal battlefields and enemy rear battlefields. Only when each battlefield cooperates with each other and cooperates with each other can it be possible to maintain the situation by using inferior forces."

"...We cannot adopt a purely defensive or purely offensive strategy, let alone imagine that the Songhua River will be used as a boundary to preserve Beiman. The Japanese will not give us such an opportunity! If we want to keep more territory in Beiman, we must If we cannot maintain stability in South Manchuria, we must actively develop towards the south. With a small group of favorable troops as the backbone, we will try our best to expand the anti-Japanese armed forces, and then use the mountainous areas of South Manchuria as a base to carry out mountain guerrilla warfare. The vast countryside has become a battlefield for us to fight against the Japanese invaders!"

"...our main force cannot fight the Japanese in a simple defensive battle. Because our logistics supplies can only rely on limited stocks, and once they are exhausted, there will be no replenishment. And positional warfare is precisely a fight for firepower and consumption. , fight logistics... use our limited inventory to compete with the strong military industry of the Japanese, it will only become weaker and weaker, and it will inevitably fail in the end! My idea is that we should adopt strategic defense and tactical offensive in North Manchuria. The main method of combat is the mobile warfare of the large corps. The gain or loss of a city or a place is not contested, and the main purpose of combat is to eliminate the vital forces of the Japanese invaders."

"...In addition, the mountainous rural guerrilla warfare in southern Manchuria and the mobile warfare of the large corps in northern Manchuria should cooperate with each other, and must not be fought independently! Only when the two battlefields behind the enemy and the front are beneficially coordinated can we defeat the superior enemy with inferior forces and bring Japan Dragged into the quagmire of the Northeast, and finally dragged down!"

Luo Yaoguo clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Good! Good! Yu Rong is indeed an elite in my Whampoa! Letting you come to the Northeast seems to be my biggest mistake." He half turned around and smiled at Chen Cheng: "Brother Cixiu, what do you think of the method of nurturing?"

Chen Cheng also cast his admiring eyes on this junior from the fourth stage of Whampoa, and said with a smile: "Brother, before coming to Harbin, I couldn't sleep for a few days in a row. I don't know what to do after I come here? Now that I have heard Yu Rong's words, it can be said that It’s Maosai’s enlightenment!” He cupped his hands at Wang Zhongyi: “Brother Zhongyi, Lin Yurong is the deputy chief of staff of our Anti-Japanese Alliance, so you must give up.”

Wang Zhongyi clapped his hands and smiled: "Brother Cixiu, what did you say? In the future, we will be like the past, we are a family, so why should we divide each other? Brother's idea is to take the Seventh Route Army in North Manchuria, the Northeast Army, Also, the National Revolutionary Army joined together to form a unified Anti-Japanese Allied Army. The Seventh Route Army was renamed the First Army of the Anti-Japanese Army, the Northeast Army was called the Second Army of the Anti-Japanese Army, and the National Revolutionary Army was the Third Army of the Anti-Japanese Army. Below each army Reorganize the six divisions of the two armies, the first level of the legion is assigned to the artillery brigade, the first level of the army is assigned to the artillery regiment, and the divisional level is assigned to the artillery battalion. What do you guys think of this plan?"

As soon as the voice fell, everyone in the room was already happy.In particular, the generals sent by the Kuomintang, such as Chen Mingren and Du Yuming, gave Wang Zhongyi a grateful look.If the large establishment of the six divisions of the two armies can come down, there will be a lot of officials of army commanders, division commanders, and brigade commanders!Right now, in the National Revolutionary Army in the south, it is not easy to be a leader...

Of course Luo Yaoguo knew that this was Wang Zhongyi trying to sell favors to those Kuomintang officers. He also smiled and said: "This method is good, and I agree. The Northeast is no better than the South. After all, this is the former enemy, and life is always in danger. It should be compared. High rank and status. I’ll go back and discuss this with Jie Gong and Zhan Gong, and they should be able to come down. It’s just...is it difficult to expand the number of troops at once, is it difficult to source weapons?”

Wang Zhongyi waved his hand and said with a smile, "Third brother, you are so noble and forgetful. Over the years, you have given us so many weapons and equipment for the Seventh Route Army, which is enough to arm an army of 30 to [-] troops! If you don't take them out now, why don't you keep them at home? Waiting for cubs? As for conscription... Yurong also has a plan." He glanced at Lin Yurong beside him, and said with a smile, "Yurong's suggestion is to take advantage of the opportunity of the battle between the Japanese army and the Northeast Army and the Communist Army in Jinzhou to launch A southern expedition, fought across the Songhua River! Recapture Changchun and Jilin! Let us launch the brand of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, and then the hot-blooded men in the Northeast will compete to serve, are you afraid that there will be no soldiers?"

Chapter 0516 Battle of Jinzhou (five)

Jinzhou, Daling River.At noon on October [-]st.

The sound of gunfire has gradually faded away. After nine hours of fierce fighting, the Japanese army's Daling River defense line seems to have been broken through by the CCP and the Northeast Army soldiers!

In the central area of ​​the Daling River front, thousands of engineers and soldiers of the Northeast Army were working like crazy. After several hours of non-stop work, several pontoon bridges had gradually taken shape.Sixty Renault FT-1 tanks and the same number of armored vehicles are lined up on the west bank of the Daling River, waiting to cross the river.Zhang Xueliang and Guo Songling also came to the river and personally mobilized these precious armored soldiers of the Northeast Army before the battle.

The Northeast Army of the brigade has already used wooden rafts and small boats to cross the Daling River, and has captured several Japanese trenches and established a solid starting position.Although the Japanese army was repelled, they did not retreat very far.Now they are guarding the second line of defense 3000 meters away from the river bank, shooting at the positions of the Northeast Army from a distance.There is no doubt that the Northeast Army has taken the initiative on the battlefield so far. As long as the armored soldiers cross the river, they can deal a fatal blow to the Japanese army!

After a sleepless night, both Zhang Xueliang and Guo Songling's eyes turned red.The two sat on top of a pile of ammunition boxes, listening to the staff report on the situation on each front.

"Commander-in-chief, both the north and south wings have also completed breakthroughs and established solid starting positions. The Japanese army has retreated about three kilometers along the entire front!"

Zhang Xueliang nodded in satisfaction, the nine-hour bloody battle was finally not in vain.And such a record is not bad even in the European war.The Northeast Army and the Communist Army have done their best in today's offensive!

Guo Songling frowned: "The Japanese don't seem to be defeated..."

Zhang Xueliang looked at him in surprise, and Guo Songling said indifferently: "The Japanese are just being forced back now, their defense line is still intact, and there is no loss except for abandoning a few frontier trenches. According to the Air Force's reconnaissance The defensive zone to the east of the river is very deep, and it seems that it will not be possible to break through in a short period of time. But our time is very tight. Their reinforcements will arrive in five days. If they cannot be defeated by then... "

"Then what should we do? We and the Communist Party have done our best!"

Guo Songling blinked wearily: "The next step is to look at the performance of the armored cavalry brigade! If they can break through the Japanese defense zone and cut them off in the middle, the next battle will be easy. If not, we have to turn Relying on the Daling River and Jinzhou to defend, and at the same time asking for help from the Kuomintang."

"Will they help us?" Zhang Xueliang lowered his voice with a heavy tone.

"Yes, they need us to contain the main force of the Japanese army in Jinzhou, so that the Anti-Japanese Alliance they support will grow stronger in North Manchuria!"

"Anti-Union? Are they also planning for the Northeast?"

"It should be like this!" Guo Songling replied lightly.Seeing Zhang Xueliang's face turned livid, he explained quietly: "The Kuomintang has long known about the Japanese ambitions for the Northeast, and we know this too! But we didn't prepare for anything, but they have already made arrangements. That Wang Zhongyi should be the Kuomintang The secret set up... just don't know whether he was a member of the Kuomintang in the first place, or was later recruited by the Kuomintang. They have also been sending weapons and ammunition to Wang Zhongyi these years. We thought it was to defend against the Soviet Union from attacking Mongolia. Now it seems that They are all to deal with the current situation. These KMTs are very scheming! Therefore, the current Anti-Union has no shortage of weapons, ammunition, or even food and soldiers. What is lacking is time... the expansion of troops and the cultivation of local forces , The transfer of equipment and materials takes time! For this reason, they must assist us and let us hold back the main force of the Japanese!"

After Guo Songling finished speaking, Zhang Xueliang's face turned pale, his hands trembled, and he muttered: "Are we being used by the Kuomintang like this? Are we being used by the Kuomintang like this..."

"Hanqing, it's not three-thirds of the world now!" Guo Songling remained calm.

"You want me to join the Kuomintang! Don't you know, teacher, how the Kuomintang has treated miscellaneous generals over the years? What good will happen to our brothers from the Northeast Army? At most, they are reserve soldiers... Now there are also part of the Anti-Japanese War. They are our people, and the CCP is also fighting for them, so we might as well look at them, maybe there will be a better way out for the CCP.”

Guo Songling retorted lightly: "The Chinese Communist Party? They don't even have enough territory to feed themselves. Our brothers are all used to eating what they are accustomed to... and they don't talk about it. If they really want to pass by, they won't all be punished." Lost? Besides, it is precisely because there are people from us in the Anti-Japanese League that the Kuomintang will reuse us! I don’t think the open and secret struggles surrounding the Northeast can be ended in a short period of time. If they want to win the Northeast, the Kuomintang must employ people. And our people Familiar with the situation in the Northeast and have a certain military foundation, you can be sent to the Northeast to lead troops after a little training. This is more cost-effective than using people from the Whampoa Military Academy. Anyway, there are not many good weapons in the Anti-Japanese Federation, so there is no need to accept too formal military education, so we will definitely be reused.”

Zhang Xueliang looked up at the mighty and majestic armored cavalry brigade in front of him. This elite unit of the Northeast Army has now made all preparations before the battle and has begun to cross the river one after another.With such capital, no matter where you go, you should have a place, right?

"Teacher, let's talk about the future. The most important thing for us now is to fight this battle well! As long as we fight well...everything will be solved!"

Guo Songling just frowned slightly, always feeling very uneasy in his heart, logically speaking, the battle went smoothly...but he unconsciously thought of defeat!Unconsciously, he was looking for a way out for the Northeast Army after the defeat.

……

Wang Yizhe spread his legs and stood on the body of a Renault FT-17 light tank.In front of him, as far as he could see, was the Japanese army position.

The second line of defense of the Japanese army seems to be more complete and stronger than the first line of defense.In front of the position is a wide trench, which looks like it is specially used to deal with tanks!Behind the trench are layers of deer villages, horses, and barbed wire, and behind it is the trench defense zone.The entire trench area is still covered with earthworks, which should be the firepower of machine guns, and the firepower of machine guns can block the entire front.Japan seems to have been prepared for the attack of its own armored cavalry brigade!

What makes him feel depressed is that their Northeast Army seems to have no secrets in front of the Japanese!I don't know how many traitors and spies are hiding around Zhang Xueliang?The sudden blow that was originally expected was completely in vain. In the end, he could only rely on his own armored cavalry brigade to smash a bloody path on the Japanese solid position!But can such a task be accomplished with just [-] light tanks?

Near the assembly area of ​​​​the tanks and armored vehicles, there are thousands of infantry who hold their breath and prepare to attack. These infantry also belong to the [-]st Armored Cavalry Brigade.But Wang Yizhe never knew how to use these infantry!Is it to cover the tank with infantry?Or let the tank cover the infantry?This Baoding Military Academy did not teach...

boom!boom!boom……

The heavy artillery group of the Northeast Army began to roar again, and the artillery preparations before the attack began!When the gunfire sounded, Wang Yizhe also trembled all over.He jumped lightly, jumped from the tank body to the ground, and strode towards his command vehicle.

At this moment, the Japanese defense line raised a large column of smoke and flames, and the fragments of the shell blasted the entire Japanese position like a storm.Fragments of obstacles such as horses and other obstacles in Luzhai flew in all directions, and the cover of earthworks and weapons were lifted into the air one after another, and the smoke enveloped the entire front in an instant.

"Attention all! Start the vehicle!" Wang Yizhe raised his right hand high and shouted loudly.In fact, it was impossible for the commanders of all the tanks and armored vehicles to hear other voices amidst the deafening gunfire. They started the vehicles one after another after seeing Wang Yizhe's gesture.Sixty tanks and sixty armored vehicles were all started after 10 minutes, and the roar of the motors almost overwhelmed the rumbling guns for a moment.

"Huh!" Wang Yizhe exhaled heavily: "Attention everyone! The Japanese army position is right in front of the target! Armored soldiers! Assault!" With his arms swung down heavily. The tracks and wheels of more than 100 activated tanks and armored vehicles began to rotate slowly. Suddenly, the acrid thick smoke from the exhaust pipe enveloped the entire site, and all the vehicles started to move. They lined up in three rows. The horizontal team slowly drove towards the Japanese position ahead!
