Republic of China game

Page 322

General Takashi Hishikari's face was gloomy and his brows were deeply locked. Apparently, Rensuke Isoya's words did not relieve his worries about the Kuomintang army.However, Ishihara Wanji's face was very calm, showing no signs of happiness or anger. Chief of Staff Miyake Miyake was worried, and the faces of other officers were also somewhat worried.

"But now the Kuomintang air force has been dispatched, and according to the information just received, the President of the Beijing government in China, Mao Zedong, has come to the front to supervise the battle in person, and there are two full routes of the Communist Army and an unknown number of Jin troops to reinforce Western Liaoning. In addition There are also rumors that the Kuomintang army is also increasing its troops through the port of Huludao! There are even legendary armored divisions that have been transferred to Huludao. Their Kuomintang tanks are the latest models, jointly produced by the German Krupp company and MAN company The design should be very powerful! Compared with China, the Empire is at a disadvantage in terms of land, population, resources, and even heavy industry..." Miyake Miyake looked melancholy, as if pouring bitter water.

Rensuke Isotani nodded slightly, and seemed to agree with Miyake Miyake's opinion: "It is precisely because the military and industrial power controlled by the Kuomintang has surpassed the empire, so they will be more happy to see us destroy the main force of the Communist army." He turned to Takashi Ryogai again and bowed: "I absolutely believe that Chiang Kai-shek will not sincerely rescue the Communist Party. All he is doing now is to perfunctory public opinion and shirk responsibility after the main force of the Communist Party is wiped out."

Takashi Ryoka turned around and glanced at Ishihara Waner. He was a radical who invaded Manchuria before, but after hearing that the Kuomintang army had gained a foothold in Huludao, he began to keep a low profile.Takashi Ryoshi smiled lightly and said, "Ishihara-kun, what do you think of the current situation?"

Before Ishihara Waner could speak, he let out a long sigh: "Your Excellency, I also agree with Isoya-kun's analysis. The Chinese Nationalist Party will indeed not sincerely rescue the Communist Party. But...after we have severely damaged or eliminated the main force of the Communist Party, Can they still maintain the rule of the Northern Branch? Will it collapse and be unified by the Kuomintang? If so, the empire may not have the slightest chance of winning in Manchuria!"

Takashi Ryogai frowned deeply and felt a little disappointed in his heart, but Ishihara Waner continued to say: "The Manchurian Incident is the last chance for the empire on the East Asian continent. If we can't grasp it well, the future empire will have to re-choose the direction of development. It's even a development path!"

"So there is still a chance to come to the empire?" Takashi Ryoka asked coldly.

Ishihara smiled and nodded heavily, and said slowly: "The only chance for the empire is to prevent a unified central government from appearing in China. If China is unified, not only Manchuria will not be able to take it, but even Taiwan, which the empire seized from China decades ago, will not be able to win." Bao! Therefore, the empire must not allow the Kuomintang to unify China! The empire should, after inflicting severe damage on the Chinese Communist Army, then unite with the Chinese Communist Party to oppose the Chinese Kuomintang. Only in this way can the empire gradually gain a firm foothold in Manchuria, and finally split it from China!"

"Unite with the Communist Party of China! Is this possible?" Takashi Ryoka stared at Ishihara with wide-eyed eyes, his face full of disbelief.

"Your Excellency, this is entirely possible!" Shi Yuan said solemnly: "The key lies in our Kwantung Army's grasp and control of the situation on the battlefield in western Liaoning..."

……

Mao Zedong and Chiang Kai-shek!Well, it is said that the best people in all of China and the worst villains in all of China got together!After a big quarrel on the night of December [-], the two finally "brothers are good" for the sake of the late great leader Sun Yat-sen!They shook hands and hugged each other, and chanted each other's long live... It seemed that they were sincere.

However, the reconciliation between the good guys and the bad guys is not the end of the story but the beginning, or the beginning of a nightmare!At least for Zhang Xueliang, Guo Songling, Li Jishen, and Fu Zuoyi, the next period of time will definitely be a nightmare that will never be forgotten in their lives.

Because Mao Zedong and Chiang Kai-shek agreed to supervise the war together after having a good drink!God!The two of them came together to supervise other people's wars!The "commander in chief" General Zhang Xueliang, the two "deputy commanders" Li Jishen and Fu Zuoyi, and the chief of staff Guo Songling were to be supervised by both of them at the same time.

The first trouble faced by the four unfortunates was that there were too many pawns.Speaking of which, Luo Yaoguo and An Sihua's fighting skills are still excellent, and the battle plan they came up with immediately is completely feasible.A reorganized division of the Kuomintang and the Fifth Route Army of the Northeast Army have a total of 5000 people. The two Japanese divisions that can definitely beat Chaoyang are all over the place... But Lao Jiang changed the plan and added a Jin army division And two tank battalions, so there will be a little more people, and the road will be a little crowded, but it's not too congested.And Mao Zedong, out of his special feelings for the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, suddenly pulled over 10 people from the two Route Army!At about the same time, Yan Laoxi, who had no choice but to be coerced by the Kuomintang, sent the First Division of the Jin Army to help in the battle again in tears.In this way, the total force used to clear the siege was as high as more than 20!There are three or four hundred cannons, more than 100 tanks, and hundreds of cars.And there are only two narrow roads available for passage!And these two roads intersect into a road in a small village called Beitun under a small hill called Daling Mountain.As a result, there were more than 20 troops, except for the Fourth Route Army, which was lightly armed first, everyone else was blocked here.Tanks, trucks, armored vehicles, horse-drawn carriages, artillery carts, and wheelbarrows pushed by former migrant workers mobilized by the Communist Party's Liaoxi Military Region filled the entire road, making it impossible for anyone to move.

With a snap, Mao Zedong threw the report on the traffic jam sent from the front in front of Zhang Xueliang, the commander-in-chief, with an extremely gloomy expression on his face: "What's going on! How can a 10,000+ army move slower than a snail! And...why The heavy artillery regiment is not in place yet? Didn’t you want you to give priority to the road to the heavy artillery regiment? How can the Fourth Route Army attack Chaoyang without heavy artillery?”

Chiang Kai-shek looked at the report on the table and smiled: "President Mao, this is a normal phenomenon. I reminded you last night, don't rush to transfer the heavy artillery regiment. The march of the 10,000+ army cannot be disrupted casually." Sequentially... Now it's all right, the heavy artillery convoy is stuck with the tank convoy, blocking the road... Another day wasted."

"But your tanks can't find a way to get out of the way?" Mao Zedong was very annoyed. The Fourth Route Army was completely light-packed and did not carry any heavy weapons, while the Japanese army occupying Chaoyang had at least mountain artillery.If a heavy artillery regiment can be dispatched to help in the battle, it should be able to capture Chaoyang in the shortest time and drive back the Japanese army there.But now, because of such absurd reasons as traffic jams, everything has come to naught.

"President, right now the Heavy Artillery Regiment can't make it through for the time being. How about... asking the KMT's air force for help? Let them use planes to bomb the Japanese army in Chaoyang, okay?" Zhang Xueliang looked at Chiang Kai-shek with a begging expression on his face.

Hearing the words, Mao Zedong also turned his vaguely expectant eyes to Chiang Kai-shek.Chiang Kai-shek unhurriedly took a sip of tea, thought for a while, and then slowly replied: "Well... let me call and ask Luo Fuwen, he knows the air force, ask him..."

A trace of gloom flashed in Mao Zedong's eyes, and he waved his hand: "Generalissimo Jiang, saving soldiers is like putting out fires! There is no time to ask questions, so hurry up and give orders to your air force! Our Fourth Route Army will be ready by eight o'clock tomorrow morning at the latest. Then we can go on the offensive." Chiang Kai-shek nodded slightly in agreement with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth.Mao Zedong breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Zhang Xueliang again: "General Hanqing, the traffic must be straightened out as soon as possible, and the heavy artillery regiment must be transferred up early tomorrow morning, do you understand? In addition, the Fifth Route Army of the Northeast Army will also be transferred at least A division is lightly armed and hastily marched to the Chaoyang front line and placed under the command of General Li Jishen."

……

At this moment, in the lobby of Huaishu Cave Temple in the southwest of Chaoyang County, all the officers above the regiment level of the Fourth Route Army were sitting in front of their chests. The first seat was the former deputy commander of the enemy Li Jishen, who was fully in charge of the attack on Chaoyang County.

Liu Bocheng, who is very familiar with the situation of the former enemy, is standing in front of the large military map that has just been hung up, holding a pointer in his hand and introducing the situation of the enemy in front of him.

"The enemy that our department faced consisted of about two divisions, with a total strength of about 5 troops, but they all came lightly and did not carry heavy artillery. It is estimated that there were only 75mm mountain artillery, and the shells were very limited. About one of them The brigade deployed in the mountains southwest of Chaoyang and blocked the front of our army, and the other brigade deployed in the southeast of Chaoyang and also blocked another road. Both brigades took a defensive posture against our army."

Xu Xiangqian, the commander-in-chief of the Fourth Route Army, then spoke. He said: "The task of the Fourth Route Army entrusted to us by the Central Revolutionary Military Commission and the General Front Committee is to break through the enemy in front of us, capture Chaoyang County, and open the road to Beipiao. According to the situation of the enemy, the Fourth Route Army Command decided to divide the troops into three groups, two of which pretended to attack the enemies in the southeast and southwest of Chaoyangcheng County, and the other group was responsible for breaking through the West Dabai Mountain and going straight to the west of the county, trying to capture Chaoyang County by surprise .”

"In order to complete the glorious mission entrusted to us by the party, the Fourth Route Army headquarters and the party committee have drawn up a battle plan and reported it to the Central Revolutionary Army Committee and the Liaoxi General Front Committee (Secretary is concurrently served by Mao Zedong himself). The tasks of each department are announced as follows... "Xu Xiangqian's tone was calm, but with a hint of excitement: "The tenth division, Chen Geng, was responsible for capturing the West Dabai Mountain, and then used the main force to cross the West Dabai Mountain, cross the Daling River, capture Xiadian and the Reclining Buddha Temple to the west of Chaoyang County, and finally wait for the opportunity Raid to capture Chaoyang County."

Chen Geng was originally the chief of staff of the Fourth Route Army, but he was recently transferred to serve as the commander of the Tenth Division.This division is the main division of the Fourth Route Army, and its equipment and training are top-notch in the Chinese Communist Army.This time, they attacked the dangerous West Dabai Mountain and went straight to the southwest of Chaoyang County. The task of raiding and capturing Chaoyang County should be undertaken by this main force.

"No. 11th Division Xu Haidong." Xu Haidong responded. Xu Xiangqian raised his eyes to look at the tiger general, and then continued to read out the order: "Your department will mainly attack the Japanese positions at Dongshan, Daxigou, and Xiaomutougou. After you succeed, attack from the south. To Chaoyang County, to attract the main reinforcements of the Japanese army..."

"No. 12 Division Wang Shusheng, your mission is to attack from the Yangshugou and Dujiagou lines, capture Pingfangdian and Shangyingzi, put pressure on the Japanese army's southwest line, and attract the main force of the Japanese army for reinforcements."

After Xu Xiangqian deployed the combat mission, he put the combat plan in his hand in front of Li Jishen. Li Jishen looked at the heads of divisions and brigades at the venue, but his heart was full of gloom.In the battle that will start tomorrow morning, he will use a force comparable to that of the Japanese army to capture Chaoyang County, which is closely guarded by the Japanese army, and open the way for the Eighth Route Army and the Seventeenth Route Army to retreat!And the only one who is sure to provide him with fire support is the air force of the right wing of the Kuomintang!Who knows if they will release the pigeons of the Communist Party?

But at this moment, Li Jishen couldn't express the hidden worries in his heart. He still looked full of confidence, stood up and nodded to the officers in the room, and said loudly: "Comrades, the Kuomintang air force will send planes to support us tomorrow." General Zhang Xueliang’s Northeast Army also has a heavy artillery regiment that will arrive, and one of the Northeast Army’s Fifth Route Army can also feel it. Therefore, we will definitely win tomorrow’s battle! Tomorrow’s battle will start at 48:17 in the morning. It takes half a day to arrange, I hope that after the battle starts, Chaoyang will be captured within [-] hours, and the Eighth Route Army and No.[-] Route Army will be opened up!"

"Yes!" There were thunderous roars in the lobby.

After the generals had left, Li Jishen walked slowly to the door, looked at the silver-white mountains, took a long, deep breath, and closed his eyes, as if he was praying to the mountains, so that tomorrow's battle must not be done. If there is any accident, especially those two great gods who are in charge of supervising the battle, don't give any weird orders.

On this day, the Fourth Route Army was sharpening its knives, preparing for the next day's bitter battle. 10,000+ coalition forces of various factions in China crawled slowly on the winding mountain roads, while in Beipiao, the besieged Communist Eighth Route Army and No. The .17th Route Army spent a whole day with difficulty.Under the indiscriminate bombing of the 1 plus A-[-]B light dive bombers of the Kuomintang Air Force, the Japanese army failed to organize any decent offensive. Some of the lost points have consolidated the defensive position of the entire Beipiao.But they never imagined that the next day, the blue sky would belong to the Japanese Army Aviation Corps again... because the Kuomintang Air Force was transferred to Chaoyang to bomb the two Japanese divisions that did not carry many cannons.

Chapter 0535 fierce soldiers in western Liaoning (eight) is it really like a god to use soldiers?

In the early morning of December [-], [-] AD.

More than 20 well-known A-1B light dive bombers once again flew into the sky wobbly to meet the morning glow.These biplanes are equipped with the latest MBW-129B engines, which can carry four 1-kilogram bombs. Compared with the original A-[-]A, their speed and range have also been greatly improved.All twenty planes were painted silver and white, with the blue sky and white sun emblem of the Kuomintang painted on the wings and fuselage.Leading these planes into battle today was Major General Ye Qiu, the deputy commander of the [-]nd Air Division and the head of the [-]nd Bomber Aviation Regiment.He was wearing goggles, a thick woolen scarf wrapped around his neck, and a leather jacket that was extremely cold-proof and warm-keeping. He was driving his car and flew in the direction of Chaoyang County.What are you going to do in Chaoyang County?

According to intelligence, the Japanese troops there were all lightly armed, with no heavy artillery, only a small amount of mountain artillery, infantry artillery, mortars, and machine guns... Is it necessary to use dive bombers to bomb the machine gun positions hidden on the hillside?Can a target that small be found in mid-air?As soon as Ye Qiu received the order, he immediately objected.In fact, compared to the battle in the Chaoyang direction, the Eighth Route Army and No.17 Route Army trapped in Beipiao really needed these dive bombers to provide air support!

Luo Yaoguo's answer to this was: "The bombing of the Japanese army positions in Chaoyang County is a request from the CCP. You can just drop the bombs on the Japanese army positions."

He received his student Ye Qiu very politely, but he didn't listen to his reasonable suggestions.Luo Yaoguo seemed to have given up on the extremely chaotic command system of the Chinese army on the Liaoxi battlefield, and only strictly ordered his army to guard the Huludao fortress.Most of the time was just spent with Natalie who just came from Wuhan... Maybe it's also a kind of mentality that is invisible to the eye?

……

"Air strike! Covert..."

Twenty rickety biplanes had just approached the Japanese position in the south of Chaoyang County, when they were spotted by the Japanese sentinel in charge of the lookout, and then the warning shout sounded immediately, and quickly spread throughout the trenches.The officers and soldiers of the Japanese army who had been waiting in full force all hugged their heads with their hands and put their knees on their chests, and curled up to the bottom of the cold trench.

boom!boom!boom……

The roar of the plane's dive and the loud noise of the bomb exploding did not arrive until all the Japanese troops had found a concealed position.The heavy bomb exploded on the Japanese army's position, raising a puff of smoke and dust soaring into the sky, blowing gaps in the Japanese army's front line.Some earthworks were blown up, and the occasional human body was thrown high into the sky.But then these small planes did not leave immediately, still with a violent whistling sound, tearing through the smoke, spewing out strings of flames, and repeatedly passed over the Japanese positions.It raged wildly again, until all the bullets were fired, and the aircraft group assembled at high altitude and meandered towards the south.

At the same time as the Kuomintang army's air strikes, with bursts of loud charge horns, the soldiers in the starting position of the Fourth Route Army of the Communist Party of China also launched a charge.This is the first time that the Chinese Communist Army has fought under the cover of the air force. Although twenty light dive bombers with a bomb load of only more than 100 kilograms did not pose a great threat to the Japanese army's long and deep front, the attacking infantry clearly Encouraged.Tens of thousands of infantrymen in blue-gray uniforms, led by the officers, holding gleaming bayonets and shouting revolutionary slogans, formed a huge wave and rushed to the various positions of the Japanese army.

Li Jishen stood on the hilltop opposite the Japanese battle line, holding up his binoculars to look at the Japanese defense line that was about to be overwhelmed by the communist army, but there was a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth.The CCP seems to have tried its best to rescue the besieged Eighth Route Army, and it has gone too far.If he were Mao Zedong, the best strategy at this moment would be to use the air force to support the Eighth Route Army in Beipiao, and let the Fourth Route Army continue to wait in the south of Chaoyang City for the heavy artillery of the Northeast Army and the tanks of the Kuomintang. Vulnerable.But the Northeast Army's heavy artillery hadn't arrived on time, and the Kuomintang tanks were even ordered to make way.Now the Fourth Route Army has no choice but to use the Kuomintang Air Force assigned to them as artillery, and use planes to blow up a bloody road to attack!But Li Jishen knew clearly that it was impossible to complete this task with just a few dozen light bombers with a bomb load of less than 100 kilograms!

"Has the Tenth Division started to move?" Li Jishen looked at it for a while and then turned to ask Xu Xiangqian.

Xu Xiangqian held up his binoculars and looked at the rising smoke pillars in the distance, with a smile on his face: "They have already quietly touched the West Dabai Mountain."

Li Jishen was silent, and Liu Bocheng on the side took a deep breath: "We don't have enough troops and firepower for this battle, and the Kuomintang's bombing doesn't seem to have much effect... I'm afraid the tasks assigned by the organization...can it be done?" Let the First Division of the Kuomintang find a way to mobilize a capable force to come up first?"

"Ah..." Li Ji sighed deeply, looked at Liu Bocheng with a wry smile and said, "Chief of Staff Liu, do you think that I, the head teacher of the First Division of the Kuomintang, haven't greeted them?" He shook his head: "Now our people The army is under the leadership of the party, but their reactionary army is taking the road of nationalization, everything must be done according to regulations and systems, my old face will not work well with Yu Yuqi (Yu Hanmou).”

"Commander Li." Liu Bocheng was a little anxious. He had been fighting the Japanese army for more than two months, so he naturally knew the strength of his opponent. Defeated: "The Japanese army did not win by firepower alone. Their individual soldier quality and infantry tactical organization are excellent, much better than ours..."

"B Cheng!" Li Shuoxun, Political Commissar of the Fourth Route Army hurriedly pulled Liu Bocheng, and said in a low voice, "Pay attention to the influence."

A wry smile appeared on Liu Bocheng's face, he shook his head and said nothing more.He naturally knew that Li Shuoxun had good intentions, but the current atmosphere in the party is... probably because Comrade Mao Zedong was eager to save the Eighth Route Army?

……

Comrade Mao Zedong really cared a little too much about this battle. The Eighth Route Army had been besieged for several days, and emergency telegrams came like snowflakes.Last night was another night of bloody battles, and the number of casualties reported by the Eighth Route Army alone reached 2000!The Seventeenth Route Army still has more than [-] troops.Although the communists are not afraid of sacrifices and difficulties together in order to drive out Japanese imperialism and liberate the whole of China, the casualties are still greater...

Seeing these numbers, sparks almost popped out of his eyes.Seeing the counter-revolutionary Chiang Kai-shek snickering while holding a telegram, Mao Zedong had the urge to throw the teacup in his hand and smash the bald head!

Chiang Kai-shek naturally didn't know that his bald head was in danger of blooming, and now he only had an urgent telegram from Beipiao in his eyes.These telegrams are just too cute!Be sure to take them back and store them, and take them out every day before going to bed to have a good dream.Well!By the way, the telegram about the defeat of the Fourth Route Army should arrive later, right?These communists really don't know how to fight, they only know how to fight tough battles. It looks like the style of the First Division of Guangdong, and they must have been taught by Deng Yanda!Thinking of Deng Yanda, Lao Jiang raised his bare head unconsciously, and glanced at the Chief of Staff Deng who was sitting next to Mao Zedong, smoking a stuffy cigarette. He arrived with the Third Route Army last night.The frowning look is quite cute now, why didn't you see it in the past?Oh, and there is another Feng Yuxiang who is also here. He is as tall as an iron tower, and he always looks upright and awe-inspiring.This appearance can deceive many people!I don't know who I want to lie to this time?

"President! Let our children of the Third Route Army go up!" Feng Yuxiang stood at attention and saluted Mao Zedong respectfully: "Give us three days to save the comrades of the Eighth Route Army. If you can't complete the task, I, Old Feng, will come to see you!"
