The Japanese headquarters in Shengjing.
"Turn in. We still have Longjiang and those solid fortresses!" Yamada Otsuzo received the bad news that the entire army was annihilated one after another. He seemed to have aged ten years, and dejectedly issued the order to retreat across the entire line.
Yes, the remaining soldiers of less than 3 divisions have little meaning in staying in Shengjing. No matter how hard they fight, they can't win.
】
Yamada Otsuzo is not yet ready to live and die with Shengjing.
He wanted to concentrate the last few troops into Bingcheng and join forces with the Japs in Bingcheng, and then consider whether to rely on Bingcheng or the border fortresses for another decisive battle with the Eighth Route Army.
...
"Brigadier, this little Japs Yamada Otozo is running towards the ice city in the north." Gao Jianwu, who learned of the little Japs' movements immediately, immediately reported it to the Brigadier General, the commander-in-chief of the attack on Manchukuo at the moment.
"According to the current situation, the Japs are most likely to take the northern route to Kangping and Shuangliao, bypassing the Tieling and Siping we captured to get to Ice City.
My opinion is that the main force will immediately enter Shengjing to clean up the remaining forces of the Japs, and then leave the large force to rest and continue to attack the surrounding cities and other areas in Fengtian, and take over all the factories left by the Japs. Li Yunlong and I will lead 30,000 mechanized infantry Together with the tank group and the air force, we will pursue the pursuit and strive to eliminate the little devil Yamada Otsuzo on the road, thereby reducing the difficulty of recovering the ice city and reducing the damage to the ice city! "
"At the airport, please ask the brigade commander to immediately send three main battalions and an air defense battalion to take over the defense."
At this moment, the brigade commander was in Hutai Town and Gao Jianwu was at the airport. The two men were constantly sending telegrams to their headquarters.
Soon Commander Zhang and Li Yunlong knew this information. After joining the brigade commander, they completed the encirclement and annihilation of Hutai Town. Commander Zhang and Li Yunlong also returned to the front.
"Commander Chen, leave the pursuit of Yamada Otozo to us." Commander Zhang volunteered after reading Gao Jianwu's information.
After the start of the Jinsui attack group on the northern front, there has not yet been a decent tough battle. Compared with Gao Jianwu and Brigade Commander, they are just here to make soy sauce. Commander Zhang is really embarrassed. Cigao Jianwu strengthened the northern front troops a lot, and Commander Zhang felt that he had a good chance of winning one-on-one.
"Commander Zhang, Gao Jianwu is right. To pursue Yamada Otsuzo, one must have extremely high mobility. When it comes to commanding mechanized troops, no one among us can match Gao Jianwu. What's more, the enemy's whereabouts are unknown now. He knows better than Gao Jianwu that this matter will be settled as Gao Jianwu said, Li Yunlong, your tank group will be overhauled and replenished with fuel and ammunition immediately, and be ready to cooperate with Gao Jianwu in pursuing Yamada Yizo!" The brigade commander shook his head at Commander Zhang's suggestion. He shook his head and said.
The Kwantung Army kid Yamada Otsuzo still has close to three divisions. If the number of troops to catch up is small, he may be bitten, but with more troops, this flexibility is difficult to ensure that he can catch up.
Gao Jianwu relied on the more than 30,000 mechanized infantry he had formed, and with the cooperation of Li Yunlong's tank clusters and the coordinated operations of the air force, Gao Jianwu had super mobility and far surpassed the Japs in combat power. It can be said that catching up and killing Yamada Otsuzo was almost complete. There is no suspense.
There is no need for the Grand Brigadier to risk Commander Zhang's northern Shanxi-Sui attack group.
"But, we didn't seem to do anything except marching along the way?" Commander Zhang was a little anxious. The Kwantung Army was almost finished, and none of his northern attack groups had a good record.
"Commander Zhang, Gao Jianwu said that there are still so many cities around us that have not been captured, not to mention that there are still many places on the Fengtian peninsula that we need to recapture, especially important strategic strongholds such as Dalian and Lushunkou, and there are still tough battles. . I estimate that after Gao Jianwu solves Yamada Yizo, we may not be able to handle these, and we will be busy for a while in the future." The brigade commander comforted.
Commander Zhang nodded regretfully and had no objection to the brigade commander's arrangement. After all, we are all doing revolution, and obeying organizational arrangements is the first priority.
Qianzhi agreed with Gao Jianwu's idea with extremely efficient decision-making. Now that the fight has come to this point, after more than 200,000 troops have joined forces, Fengtian only needs to advance steadily to swallow it up.
It’s no problem to force it along the way. It can be said that the next battle has completely entered the rhythm that the brigade commander is familiar with. The only thing that needs to be scrupulous is to minimize the damage to the city during the battle and prevent the little ones who jump over the wall in a hurry. The Japanese destroyed the factory.
However, this time, with Gao Jianwu's preferential treatment to the puppet troops in Fushun, the brigade commander's mopping up process went much smoother.
Yamada Yisan was defeated, and the puppet troops everywhere now lost their last support. They grabbed the last straw one after another and learned from the Fushun puppet army. They occupied the local factory and waited for the Eighth Route Army to come and take over!
Although the garrison troops everywhere were furious, under the current circumstances, they did not have the extra strength to wipe out these puppet troops who had not openly rebelled.
After all, these puppet troops only occupy some factories and have nothing to do with the city's defensive positions. The little devils now have no troops to fight with these puppet troops in factories and consume their strength. For the time being, they can only let these puppet troops do whatever they want and defeat the Eighth Route Army later. Let’s settle the accounts again.
But they will never have this opportunity.
...
Taking advantage of the evacuation of the Little Japs, Gao Jianwu went on a rampage in Shengjing and replenished the empty warehouses in the various military camps of the Little Japs, allowing the troops of the Brigadier Commander and Commander Zhang to have ample supplies of weapons, ammunition and military supplies.
The Shengjing Arsenal was also occupied by the assault brigade in advance. Except for a workshop that was detonated by a Japs, there was almost no major damage to the rest. At least 90% of the equipment and personnel were retained.
Although about 20% of them were engineers, technicians, etc., Gao Jianwu first asked people to imprison them all and implement a relatively memorable round of management on them as prisoners of war.
Waiting for Gao Jianwu to return in triumph before dealing with these people again.
After finishing these detailed tasks, I started to deal with Yamada Otozo.
Gao Jianwu deliberately gave them time to run for a few hours.
The air force that flew in urgently to Shengjing Airport flew the reconnaissance plane that captured the little Japanese. They quickly traced the whereabouts of the little Japanese Yamada Otsuzo clearly. They were hung far away in the air. The correspondent used a telegraph to report the little Japanese's whereabouts. The location was continuously passed back to Gao Jianwu's temporary headquarters.
After Li Yunlong and Gao Jianwu reunited, they no longer went to command the tank group, but stayed at the headquarters and commanded the entire unit together with Gao Jianwu.
"We deliberately let them walk for a while and then intercepted them. The air force took turns bombing them along the way," Gao Jianwu said to Li Yunlong about his plan.
"From Shengjing to Faku, it will take at least 2 days for the little Japs to run on two legs. During this time, Lu Xingguo and the others are enough to carry out pattern bombing on the little Japs. I am afraid that the few Japs who can finally reach Faku will be left. Half would be good.
Heavy weapons and other items were completely destroyed by our air force. With this foundation, we will detour to the French library to wait for work. The tank group will charge first, completely disrupting their formation. At this time, the assault group will follow up with the sweep. , we can still win this battle without any bloodshed! "
With superior weapons and equipment, Li Yunlong has now begun to gradually understand the use of various weapons to crush the enemy. It’s not just a crowd-pleaser tactic.
"Yes, Mr. Gao, your method is despicable, but I like it. We can't treat the little devils like normal people."
Li Yunlong understood it as soon as he heard it, narrowed his eyes and said with a smile.
"We all marched mechanized. Even if we took a detour to Tieling to go to Faku, it would only take us four or five hours at most. We could have made them run for two days first. The little devils were bombed and ran away in these two days. , I’m afraid they will be exhausted by then. We can easily take them down by then.”
Gao Jianwu glanced at Li Yunlong. Sure enough, Li Yunlong, the sixth man, knew how to catch fish.
If the more than 30,000 remaining defeated soldiers of the little Japanese army were to attack by force, they might fight to the death with a desperate spirit.
But if they continue to consume their physical strength and energy during this 100-kilometer journey, they may have collapsed by the time they reach Faku.
In this state, the tanks charged together in a group, cooperating with the bombing of the attack aircraft group, and finally the infantry rushed up and pushed horizontally.
I'm afraid the entire battle will be as devastating as destroying the little Japanese in one fell swoop.
This is how to get rid of this group of scarred prodigal dogs at the least cost, and prevent them from biting back.
After the two people's opinions were quickly unified, the Air Force received a combat mission to carry out continuous bombing.
For Lu Xingguo and others, this kind of task is already familiar. Gao Jianwu has prepared a lot of bombs and sufficient fuel at the airport.
According to one wave of more than 30 fighter jets, Lu Xingguo and others organized four waves of fighter jets and captured Little Japanese bombers and began continuous bombing.
Yamada Otsuzo followed the large fleeing team and faced the endless bombing from the air. He had no way to resist at all. We can only order the troops to disperse and reduce the losses of bombing by enlarging the marching ranks.
However, Lu Xingguo and the others were not mindlessly bombing. One by one, they mounted fighter jets at low altitudes to look for valuable targets of the Japs. In particular, artillery and other heavy weapons were their priority targets to destroy.
There were not many artillery pieces that the little devils could bring out. They only had highly mobile mountain artillery that were carried by mules, camels and trucks and dragged away by trucks. There were more than 30 artillery pieces in total, and the 92nd Infantry Artillery was only a hundred pieces.
Due to such targeted bombing by Lu Xingguo and others, all these artillery pieces were lost in less than a day.
The entire team had been bombarded by Lu Xingguo and others. Now even troops above the squadron level cannot assemble. Because once they get together in a group, they will soon become the target of bombing.
The marching team was stretched into a dispersed marching column that was several kilometers wide and hundreds of meters wide.
The little devils all just ran towards the north as hard as they could. It wasn't until the sky turned dark that Lu Xingguo and the others returned to the airport.
But at this time, the little devils didn't dare to rest. They still kept running forward along the road. No matter where they go. The reconnaissance plane staring at them in the air kept lowering its altitude and followed them.
Seeing that the fire was coming, Gao Jianwu and Li Yunlong led their energetic troops to pursue them, although they went in a big circle. But the entire army still found the little devil's campsite in the middle of the night.
The tank group rumbled and pushed directly across, and behind the tanks was a dense line of infantry skirmishers. Their goal is to kill the fish that have slipped through the trap one after another after the tank has crushed them.
This battle has no technical content for both Gao Jianwu and Li Yunlong. The exhausted imps were unable to mount an effective counterattack against the tank's attack.
Not only do they not have any heavy weapons, they can't even afford cluster grenades anymore. During the crazy escape during the day, I had already thrown away almost everything I could.
Now facing the sweep of the tank army, they had no other idea except to get up and run around. Fortunately, this time Gao Jianwu led a mechanized marching force.
Except for some of the infantry who got off their vehicles and followed the tanks in the sweep, the rest sat in their vehicles and swept around to sweep away the escaping little Japanese.
The troops were spread over more than 10 square kilometers of nearby land and tightly surrounded, leaving the escaping little devils with no way to escape.
The assault brigade dispersed into several hundred-man squads, carrying radio wave detectors. Their goal was to catch the big fish in the entire team and keep an eye on the location of the radio station.
Therefore, although under the cover of the dark night, Yamada Otsuzo escaped from the encirclement with his escort squadron, he did not escape the pursuit of the assault brigade.
The radio contact that Yamada Otozo had been reluctant to lose was like a beacon, clearly exposing his position.
After more than two hours of pursuit, the assault brigade successfully captured Yamada Otsuzo alive.
"Ding" After a burst of rapid beeps flashed wildly, the results of annihilating the Kwantung Army's large forces were confirmed by the system, and Gao Jianwu's supply column was filled with newly exploded supplies.
What’s even more surprising is that another round of new upgrades has been completed.
Annihilating a general army of the Japs upgraded Gao Jianwu's system to the ultimate version!
"Ding, the level 9 mission of the Anti-Japanese War Base System has been completed."
"The Anti-Japanese War Base System Level 9 Intelligence System Upgrade: Inspire based on the real estate industry layout distribution map! The science and technology information system is upgraded, and the top ten professional disciplines research report function (monthly report) is obtained!"
"Ding, the list of redeemable materials in the Anti-Japanese War base areas is being updated..."
"The anti-war base system level 9 production system is being updated..."
"A set of Forrest-class aircraft carrier production process lines and design drawings."
"A set of steam ejection production technology and design drawings."
"A set of production technology and design drawings for the F-4 Phantom fighter (carrier-based/land-based)."
"A set of b-52 production technology and design drawings."
"A set of a2w reactor production line process technology and design drawings."
"A set of TV production technology and design drawing production lines."
"A set of radio and television transmission production technology and design drawings."
"A set of process technology and design drawings for Wanmen program-controlled switches."
...
Sure enough, if you choose to eat this wave of Kwantung Army, you will make a lot of money!
