. Inspection along the sales route from Huludao to Jinzhou. Since Qianye boiled it too dark, the ten-inch small-foot vehicles were fully implemented under the gun control. The effect of dispatching at this time was far less effective than the air force planes that intercepted and killed the retreating Japanese troops at the beginning of the night. Under the gun control On the basis of this, the Japanese army also strengthened the deployment of mobile anti-aircraft artillery forces along the train line, so that the bomber formations of the National Defense Forces could no longer bully the Japanese army on the ground unscrupulously.
At the beginning of the Blitzkrieg, the Air Force of the National Defense Force took the enemy by surprise and took advantage of the air force's advantages to severely attack the air power of the Japanese Northeast Army. It also dealt a huge blow to Japan's ammunition depots, barracks, and arms and ammunition depot systems. At the same time, taking advantage of the tank cluster, at the beginning of the Eastern Front War, it destroyed the frontal defense of 200,000 Japanese troops and completely collapsed the Japanese vassal Korean puppet army.
But this is, after all, the first time that the National Defense Forces have engaged in large-scale tank swarm operations, and the cooperation obviously has not yet reached a level of complete tacit understanding. Even after the rapid attack, the tank division and the motorized infantry division unexpectedly lost their formation. If it had not been for the complete loss of the command center, the chaotic Japanese army would not have organized an effective counterattack at all. I am afraid that the most elite troops of the National Defense Force will suffer unpredictable losses in their first large-scale mechanized combat.
The headquarters that discovered the situation in time slowed down the attack speed of the First Army. In addition, the Japanese army had been in the Northeast for several years. Shenyang, Jinzhou, and Huludao had all built railways and developed highway networks, and even a simple railway line had been built. Suizhong area. The fast transportation means that although the Japanese army has not yet reached the level of semi-mechanization and semi-motorization like the National Defense Forces, its retreat speed is not much slower. Moreover, the military fortresses built along the way delayed the attack speed of the National Defense Forces even more as the Japanese troops left behind. This allowed the main force of the Japanese army to flee to Huludao in embarrassment without even a breather.
But even so, in the face of the powerful steel torrent offensive of the National Defense Forces, the losses of the Japanese and Korean troops were still staggering. More than 200,000 Japanese troops fled to Huludao, and together with the defenders of Huludao, the remaining strength was only 150,000 at most. In one day, the Japanese army directly lost more than 50,000 troops. Among them, more than 30,000 people of the two divisions of the Korean army were wiped out and more than 10,000 people were captured. Although the Japanese losses were small, nearly 10,000 people died in the battle. Thousands of people were captured. Many of the Ju soldiers were killed in a firefight with the North Korean army on the way back.
In addition, the 200,000 Japanese troops lost almost all their weapons, more than half of their individual weapons, and thousands of artillery pieces on the front line were almost never used before they fell into the list of trophies of the defensive army. As for the hundreds of tanks and aircraft that survived the bombing and artillery fire, they are basically out of the sight of the Wehrmacht and have only the value of being recycled for ironmaking.
¡°This is just the result of the Eastern Route Army¡¯s battles along the way. Although the National Defense Forces mobilized their forces at the beginning of the offensive to confuse the Japanese, the Shanhaiguan area was still the top priority of the Japanese defense. Therefore, the offensives of the Central Route Army and the West Route Army were launched. That can simply be described as a tidal wave of offensive. When the tank and armored forces arrived, they were simply invincible. The Japanese and North Korean allied forces were caught off guard and unprepared, abandoning their armor and armor, and suffered heavy losses. In some areas, the whole army was simply wiped out. He didn't even have time to escape, so he was dumped by the armored lion of the National Defense Force.
The National Defense Forces had a great victory in the first battle and should have taken advantage of the victory to pursue the victory. However, due to the complete underestimation of the good judgment of the offensive by each army, there were some problems in the coordination of the various armies. Perhaps the fundamental reason why the staff officers of the Sanhe General Headquarters are so cautious is that deep down in their hearts, they do not believe that such results are facts. They still do not believe that they have only initially improved the mechanization construction of the commander. These military staff officers were completely shocked. On professional alert, everyone thinks that such a victory is too easy, so the next steps must be small and careful.
¡°It¡¯s no wonder that even the senior staff officers of the National Defense Forces reacted like this. You said that if we had known that the National Defense Forces had such combat effectiveness and the Japanese army was so vulnerable, then why wait until now to regain the Northeast? It would be better to drive little Japan out of the Northeast earlier.
Only Hua Fei was not too surprised by this. You must know that at the beginning of World War II, the German army used such tactics to conquer Poland in one day, Denmark in one day, Norway in three days, the Netherlands in three days, and Belgium in one day. Conquer France, known as "Europe's strongest army", within days.
If it is considered a miracle that the Wehrmacht achieved such results in one day, then the performance of the German army at the beginning of World War II can only be summarized as a myth. Moreover, the blitzkrieg completely relied on the mechanization advantages of aircraft and tanks. Compared with ordinary corps operations, both consumption and material logistics support were a great test. In the later stages of the German army, due to lack of oil, many powerful tanks could only become a pile of scrap metal. Useless.
Although the current National Defense Force cannot be compared with the German army in the early days of World War II in terms of equipment, officer quality, and combat effectiveness, one thing Hua Fei is sure of is that after a large amount of his own private funds were injected, especially after leaning towards an elite army, he quickly completed CompleteThe nine elite armored divisions equipped with tanks are highly mechanized. Definitely not inferior to any army ace in any country today. If such results cannot be achieved, Hua Fei will have to reflect and see where the problem lies.
Zhang Man reluctantly flew around in the dark sky again. It is very dangerous to fly an airplane at night, and it is also a great test of flying skills. If not a large number of aircraft support night flying, especially the widespread application of gyro technology, making it possible for aircraft to fly at night and in rain and snow.
But even so, Zhang Man¡¯s last flight mission today doesn¡¯t have to be just after nightfall. At that time, a large number of Japanese troops retreated along the railway line, with clear and transparent targets along the way, clear and concentrated targets. At that time, Zhang Man dropped all the bombs on the plane and then fired with a machine gun while flying. Under the deep night. Along the railway outside Huludao City, countless bodies of Japanese soldiers were left behind.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Could it be that this is the last mission tonight, and I have to go back and hand in a blank paper? Zhang Man thought for a while, pulled the pilot light, and told the other pilots in the squadron through the flashing light to continue searching.
It was this temporary risky decision. Zhang Man encountered a big prey and became prepared for it. Later, he was awarded the highest-level Eagle Medal of the Air Force. This is a story later.
The National Defense Forces did not carry out destructive bombing of the Japanese railway lines. Instead of cutting off the enemy's retreat and allowing them to resist stubbornly, it was better to leave them with a glimmer of hope and let them gradually lose ten of their efforts to conquer Cheng Zhonghai, thus ending the war. Smaller price, hairier birth." Gong Guo However, due to the fixed position of the railway line. The concealment of the train is very poor, and almost every train will be harassed by the machine guns of the National Defense Force fighter jets. So that the Japanese troops in charge of the guard saw the attack of the National Defense Force aircraft Shadow, the people on the train were like a swarm of wasps, coaxing them to disperse. In the end, those Japanese soldiers would rather hang around on the bumpy car than risk getting on the train.
Although Ono Sanquan holds the rank of lieutenant general in the army, he obviously lacks Japan's "bushido" and the spirit of not fearing death, to a certain extent. He is more afraid of hardship than death. If Ono and the soldiers are allowed to squeeze into a train , or discovering a National Defense Forces aircraft on the way and having to jump out of the car and hide in the bushes and woods, that would be even more unbearable than killing him. But even so, Ono Sanquan is still extremely dedicated to his work, and in most of the military They all evacuated to Jinzhou. After arranging the Korean troops in Huludao, Ono Sanquan, escorted by some guards, evacuated to Jinzhou in a car.
But I don¡¯t know whether it was Ono Sanquan who was too unlucky or Zhang Man who was too lucky, even though the team¡¯s lights were turned off to avoid the sound of planes in the sky. But Zhang Man and the others raised the fuselage. When preparing to return, squadron leader Zhang Man accidentally turned around and looked behind. But it was his unwilling glance that shocked his heart. Because he saw a light flashing on the dark road just now.
Zhang Man calmly and quickly sent radio signals to each aircraft, and at the same time took the lead in turning the fuselage and flying towards the suspicious light just now. But when he flew closer, he still couldn't see anything, so Zhang Man wondered if he was too tired and his eyesight was dazzled? Although a simple radio signal liaison device was installed on the aircraft at this time, it could not yet achieve the function of making calls. Otherwise, someone would definitely ask in confusion, Squadron Leader, what you see is not light, it is because you are red-eyed during the war.
As time passed, Zhang Man understood that he could no longer waste it like this. Suddenly, Zhang Man suddenly pulled up his blunt warhead. When his teammates were puzzled, they saw him suddenly press down the fuselage and rush downwards at a high speed, and at the same time, he fired the machine gun on the plane.
Bang bang bang." A series of gunfire sounds broke the monotony of the engine roar. There was not only the sound of Zhang Man's machine gun, but also the sound of the anti-aircraft firepower machine gun of the Ono Sanquan Guards. In fact, Zhang Man's strafing was completely blind shooting. In this dark night, he did not find any target at all. Shooting was just a test. This kind of test is of little use to a small group of Japanese soldiers or extremely experienced soldiers. But this group of guardsmen The escort was Lieutenant General Xiao Ono, the commander of the three powers. The psychological pressure was already huge. In addition, Zhang Man flew back and circled after leaving, which made this pressure climb to the limit.
It was discovered, although I¡¯m not sure. But all the Japanese soldiers still persisted. It was just this last insistence that after Zhang Man launched a dive and strafed, a young Japanese soldier with little combat experience fired the anti-aircraft machine gun in his hand. Once the war started, both sides reacted quickly. Without waiting for Zhang Man's order, several flares were quickly dropped from the plane.
At the same time, the Japanese guards quickly started their cars, wanting to escort the general, speeding out of the open area in front of them, and sending the general into hiding in a dense forest ahead. With the help of flares, Zhang Man quickly saw the situation below clearly, although he did not know what the convoy below was escorting.But this kind of convoy with dozens of trucks and armored vehicles protecting a dozen cars must be escorted by senior military officers.
Zhang Man was not stingy about throwing eggs, and he was not soft-hearted at all. Following the downward momentum, while leveling the fuselage, a heavy aerial bomb was thrown towards a car in the convoy.
There are more than a dozen cars, and the one Zhang Man chose was Ono Sanquan¡¯s ride. Similar to dive bombing, although the hit rate has been improved, even in the daytime, the pilot with the highest hit rate would not dare to say that he is always on target. Moreover, this is still late at night with the help of flares, and Zhang Man still dropped an aircraft by the way. bomb.
It was this unexpected aerial bomb that luckily landed on the roof of Ono Sanquan¡¯s car with great accuracy. It was accompanied by a fire that was more brilliant than the starry sky. Ono Sanquan's world was completely silent.
There are dozens of Guard armored vehicles and trucks in one. The squadron's fighter-bombers were surrounded and fought by nearly thirty aircraft, and there was almost no power to fight back. Although the night sky made it more difficult for the air force to attack, it also troubled the Japanese air defense operations. Because from the ground it looks like; except for the roar of the plane. The navigation light passing by was simply not a target for shooting.
Ono Sanquan may still have many quirks in life, but the loyalty of his guard team is still worthy of praise. Surrounding the car that had been bombed beyond recognition, the Japanese soldiers not only did not flee because of the general's death, but instead picked up their pistols with a somewhat crazy look and fired angrily into the sky.
The major officer opened his clothes angrily. After firing the bullets from his pistol, he looked at a plane rushing toward him. The major pulled out his sword. He shouted and rushed forward.
However, in the face of absolute force, fearless death could not change the outcome at all. Only ten minutes later, apart from the burning cars and corpses, the Japanese soldiers with swords drawn and roaring into the sky could no longer be seen on the entire road. In the flames of the explosion, thousands of corpses could be seen lying on the dirt road. Almost none of these Ono Sanquan guardsmen left the battlefield after the general was killed, but chose the "noble choice" of sacrificing their lives for the emperor.
For Zhang Manfang¡¯s loss, a squadron of twenty-six and four aircraft were under maintenance, and none of them were damaged. Perhaps the most serious incident was Zhang Man's plane, whose wings were smoked by the opponent's machine gun. But the situation is not very serious, at least driving back to the airport should not be a problem.
Ono Sanquan and his guards chose such a tragic scene to bid farewell to the Northeast, but they still could not change the fate of Japan's Northeastern Army, nor could they change Japan's future national destiny and history.
When Zhang Man and the others returned, they made a report to the superiors as usual, but at that time they had no idea what kind of person they had killed, because after a short rest, as soon as it became light, they would go into battle again. It was not until the end of the war that the National Defense Force discovered this major event when reviewing their military merits. Zhang Man and his squadron also received special individual and collective honorary awards.
In the entire Northeastern Army, Ono Sanquan may not be a heavyweight officer. But after all, he is also a lieutenant general.
There would be no more than ten officers at the rank of lieutenant general in the entire Northeastern Army. The death of Ono Sanquan was not just the loss of a general. He had a devastating blow to the morale of the entire Northeastern Army of Japan, especially the psychological impact on the middle-level officers. That's unimaginable.
At noon the next day, Dangdong Route Army marched to 30 kilometers outside Huludao City. The West Route Army and the Central Route Army have jointly captured Chaoyang and are advancing non-stop in the direction of Beipiao and Zhuoxin. Another unit of the Central Army has also advanced to Yang Jiazhang and will catch up in a short time. After investigating the situation in Huludao during the day, the entire East Route Army vanguard completely lost interest in the city, leaving the plan to the Sixteenth Army and Nineteenth Army that caught up behind. The two armies are rushing forward slowly, but they have not even completed the construction of semi-motorization, let alone mechanization, so their speed will lag a lot behind. If we don't leave some bones for them, they will complain that this battle is all about marching to the northeast without even using up bullets.
Regarding the combat effectiveness of the North Korean puppet army, the National Defense Forces have a deep understanding of it. At the beginning of the Blitzkrieg, if it had not been for the rapid collapse of the puppet army and even internal strife with the Japanese army, I am afraid that the Shanhaiguan defense line carefully constructed by the Japanese would not have collapsed so quickly. At least more than 200,000 Japanese troops, even if they were not prepared at all, would not be able to fight back under the blitzkrieg of the National Defense Forces. They had to retreat anyway.
Huludao¡¯s strategic position cannot be said to be unimportant. It is not only an important port in Liaodong Bay, but also an important stronghold on the road out of the pass. Even if Huluwu can be blocked on the road, it can still advance and retreat freely on the sea. No matter how you look at it, for Japan, which has certain maritime rights in Liaodong Bay, the strategic significance of Huludao cannot be ignored. It's just that the National Defense Forces were divided into three groups.Under the massive, sudden, and swift attack, the Japanese had no confidence in defending Huludao. Instead of wasting all the troops here, it would be better to shrink the defense line. Concentrate your efforts to resist the attack of the Chinese army. Awaiting subsequent domestic orders.
The National Defense Forces did not pay attention to the 30,000 to 40,000 North Korean puppet troops in Huludao. Instead of passing by Huludao, they just left a motorized infantry division to guard the 16th Army behind them. The 19th Army launched an all-out attack to take over Huludao. After all, in the eyes of Commander-in-Chief Cai Xun, the core of the blitzkrieg is speed, and one night's delay. This has caused them to lose a quick tactical advantage. Instead, after achieving the initial victory in the blitz, they gathered the three forces as soon as possible to steadily improve the results. Even if you are seeking stability, you cannot lose the quick tactics of using troops. Cai Qian's move may seem risky, but it is actually extremely safe. The Korean army was not only alienated from Japan, but also completely lost its opinion under the shadow of the great defeat. Not to mention that they still have 30,000 to 40,000 troops, not to mention that they are facing an elite motorized infantry division. Even if it is a regiment, they may not dare to act rashly. For the North Korean army, this is no longer a question of whether to fight or not, but how to surrender to ensure their interests.
The Sixteenth Army and the Nineteenth Army were really frustrated. Although they were both the main attacking force of the Eastern Route Army, once the battle started, the First Army, the Fourth Army, the Fifth Army, and the Seventh Army took the lead, with the help of mechanized and motorized weapons. The power quickly left them behind. Although the two soldiers exerted all their strength, their legs could not outrun the wheels. Helpless, they could only do the work of taking care of the prisoners in frustration. People eat meat. As a "landlord," the Sixteenth Army did drink very politely.
Come.
There is no way, although I feel unhappy, but who makes him the ace and direct descendant of the National Defense Force, no matter in terms of record or history. They are all incomparable. So when they heard that there were 30,000 to 40,000 Japanese troops in Huludao, reserved for them to attack, those young people did not need to mobilize at all. Immediately, morale soared dozens of times, and they were vigorous and vigorous. Be high-spirited and rush forward.
The excited commander of a certain division of the 16th Army led his men to be the first to rush to Huludao City. Regardless of fatigue, they immediately started preparations for the siege. But before they could work for a few minutes, the North Korean army in Huludao sent negotiators, and they were willing to surrender conditionally!
How can you surrender? How can you surrender! The group leader suddenly felt as if someone had poured cold water on him, and he was completely stunned. How dare they come to Huludao in such a hurry, and they are doing the job of accepting prisoners. This may sound better this time, and it should be regarded as surrender. There are still a lot of bullets in Coco's gun.
"What? Surrender? North Korean army? All surrender? Negotiation? Negotiation? Are they still soldiers? Do they have any backbone? Brothers came happily, and you actually told me that we will Before the guns were fired, all the enemies surrendered. Haha. This is really powerful. To defeat an enemy without fighting is the highest level of military strategism. I knew those ace soldiers would not be so kind. They just left some bones for us, and they were still Disgusting bones!¡±
Yes, the North Korean army chose to surrender entirely because they discovered that if they did not surrender, they would definitely die. The key issue is that after they die, their relatives at home may not survive. And if they surrender, with the Japanese army completely defeated, they may not have time to go to North Korea to kill their families. Therefore, the conditions for their surrender were very simple, that is, after defeating Japan, ensuring the safety of Koreans would be one of the conditions for the armistice.
Needless to say, the annoyed senior officer of the 16th Army immediately refused. His damn stick is really good at deceiving people. To ensure the safety of you Koreans, you and I don¡¯t ask for guarantees that all of you Koreans will live forever!
Although the conditions were rejected, the North Korean military representatives were not surprised at all and continued to lower the conditions. Our condition is that the Chinese Communist Party drives the Japanese back to the country. Not only to drive out the Northeast, but also to help us drive out the Japanese troops from Korean soil.
?????????????? No need to discuss, these sticks really dare to offer a price to expel the Japanese army from North Korea, simply help you destroy Japan, and then give you the Japanese land, just with your army with no combat effectiveness?
After several rounds of merciless negotiations, the North Korean representative finally showed the bottom line. They surrendered unconditionally and were willing to be the vanguard to drive out the Japanese army. Just hope that after the war, they can return to Korea to fight the Japanese and be supported by Chinese weapons. Of course, they can exchange whatever China is interested in.
