. in this way. Use no-talk rejection again. I'm afraid that's a little too much. It was rare for the officers to be too presumptuous in official matters no matter how full of complaints they were. The terms of surrender offered by the North Korean army were really tempting. Although they felt very uncomfortable about taking Huludao without any blood, it was considered a great achievement.
The relevant telegram was quickly transferred to the headquarters. Cai Xun immediately approved and then forwarded the telegram to the Sanhe General Command Center. Hua Fei almost laughed out loud after reading it. Perhaps the Japanese did not expect that the Korean army would surrender like this. But even if they expected the North Korean army to surrender, Japan couldn't care less. The combat effectiveness of the North Korean army was so poor, and the great defeat in the first battle was not unrelated to the rapid collapse of the North Korean army. Therefore, even if they knew the result, the Japanese were destined to give up this burden.
It¡¯s just that this burden is a burden to Hua Fei. But it has a clever use. Of course, this use will still need to be realized in the future, and it can only be implemented after a great victory in Northeast China and driving Japan away from Chinese soil. Therefore, after calling back and properly arranging these captive troops, a second attack plan was sent to the front line.
Jinzhou is not far from Huludao. When he received the second attack plan from the general headquarters, Cai Feng had already led his main force of the East Route Army to attack Jinzhou City. Jinzhou borders the Bohai Sea to the south and the Songling Mountains to the north. It is located in the famous "West Liaoning Library". At its eastern end, it is a transportation hub connecting Northeast China and North China. It is also an important point on the defense strategy map of Japan's Northeastern Army.
Jinzhou originally had a division of more than 10,000 troops, plus the hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops who retreated from the front line this time. In addition, in order to build a tight defense line in Jinzhou, the Japanese Northeast Army headquarters reacted and took urgent action. Two divisions of troops and a large amount of weapons and ammunition were quickly reinforced from the rear, which also brought the defense strength in Jinzhou to more than 200,000.
However, even if 200,000 Japanese troops were concentrated in the direction of Jinzhou, once Cai Guo's East Route Army arrived, they immediately launched a full-scale siege. The poor Japanese soldiers retreated and worked hard all night. Their eyes have not been closed for a few minutes. Some of them have not even had a bite of food yet, and they are facing a large number of aircraft bombings at dawn.
¡°However, Jinzhou has a large number of fortifications, and the Japanese soldiers who calmed down from the panic can also effectively organize air defense operations, so that the bombing of the National Defense Force Air Force is no longer unscrupulous. Their fatigue will not be alleviated by the delay of time. There is no time for them to rest, recharge their batteries, and have high morale. The steel torrent offensive of the National Defense Force has arrived again.
During the so-called 20-year truce in history, so-called prophets from all major military countries wrote books. The British Liddell Hart and Colonel Fuller, France's De Gaulle, and Germany's Guderian all put forward their respective views. The shape of future mechanized warfare. However, the military circles of most countries have not fully realized the power of tanks. They still insist that tanks are an infantry support weapon. Under this premise, it is not surprising that the development of infantry anti-tank weapons has stagnated. In the Spanish Civil War that would break out ten years later, both sides had many tanks participating in the battle, but they were all clumsy in combat use.
Until the outbreak of World War II, the infantry anti-tank weapons equipped by various countries were mainly anti-tank guns and small- and medium-caliber anti-tank artillery. The latter are generally equipped at the battalion or company level, but their mobility is poor and their anti-tank guns are generally insufficiently powerful. also. There was also debate over how to organize anti-tank operations.
Strictly speaking, the Japanese army has not yet engaged in a large-scale hard battle with tanks, but out of concern for Chinese forces, especially the Beiyang Battle of the National Defense Forces, the powerful army tank camp still gave them a great touch. Although the tank technology and stability at that time were very unreliable, after the Wehrmacht organized a large-scale tank offensive, the subsequent tank attacks were not as massive as the first. However, the Japanese army still started the research and development of its own tanks and also began to develop anti-tank weapons. In terms of tanks, they cannot be compared with China. After all, there is still a certain distance between each other in terms of starting time and technology accumulation. However, in terms of anti-tank weapons, such as anti-tank guns, especially anti-tank guns, they are no better than those of Britain, France, Germany, and the United States.
of.
Facing heavily guarded Jinzhou, Cai Pin issued an order for a full-scale attack. This second battle after the gathering will be a crucial battle. If the National Defense Force wins, the Japanese army will be depleted of a large number of effective forces, and the main force of the entire Northeast Japanese army will be seriously weakened.
If the Japanese army wins, the National Defense Forces will be retaken just after leaving the border. The entire combat plan and the Northeast Strategy will face severe challenges, and the situation will become extremely complicated.
The order sent by the general headquarters is very simple. That is to concentrate our efforts to capture Jinzhou in the shortest time, and advance with the West Route Army to Shenyang, the base camp of the Japanese army in the northeast, to completely annihilate the main force of the Japanese army or force the Japanese army to return to North Korea. Completely complete the recovery of Northeastern territory.
If we say the firstThe war is just the beginning of the war. Then this second battle is the full development of the war. Because this second battle is not limited to Jinzhou and Northeast China, but a large-scale battle in space.
In Taiwan, the troops who had received the order to go to Taiwan joined forces with the Chinese legions who were impatient and ready to try. Together with the 31st Army of the Bald Army reorganized by Feng Zhangsong, they jointly launched a ferocious all-out attack on the remaining Japanese troops in Taiwan. , the battle codenamed was, Holy Restoration!
In addition, the Sanhe General Headquarters brought the Bamboo Blade tactically. Let the surprise effect of blitzkrieg be more perfect. The First Fleet aircraft carrier group of the National Defense Force dispatched en masse, directly broke through the Ryukyu Islands and sailed into the blue waters of the Western Pacific. After hearing the news, the Japanese Navy immediately mobilized its naval fleet and comprehensively redeployed its navy deployed in the East China Sea, South China Sea, Sea of ??Japan and the coastal waters of the main island. The main navy fleet was divided into two and tracked into the Pacific Ocean, looking for traces of the Chinese navy, striving to Seize the fighter opportunity and kill the Chinese navy's fleet in the cradle. Another main group is patrolling the coast of Japan's main island to prevent the Chinese navy from launching a sudden attack on their main island. After all, the impression and impact the Northeast Blitz had on them was too profound.
Although the Japanese Navy has suffered many defeats in confrontations with China, it has never suffered a major blow to its vitality. If truly calculated, the impact of the original deep strike plan on the Japanese navy was even more profound. Of course, the naval battle not long ago directly destroyed several primitive Japanese aircraft carriers, and the results were also very impressive. The reason why it is said that it is not a big deal is because those aircraft carriers are completely primitive aircraft carriers, and the hulls are modified from civilian transport ships. But judging from the value, several aircraft carriers are not as valuable as a main battleship. Therefore, even though the Japanese army has dispersed the main force of the navy, they are still confident. Except for the lack of air force support, their combat effectiveness is still unprecedentedly powerful. The Chinese Navy does not have the support of the Coastal Air Force. With only dozens of aircraft from one of their aircraft carriers, it is really beyond the eyes of the Japanese Navy.
indeed. Although Hua Fei's naval strategy has been weakening the development of the Japanese navy. And vigorously develop its own navy. But from the very beginning, the gap between them was huge. When the National Defense Force's navy was basically 0, the Japanese navy had become a world naval power, and it was unrivaled in East Asia.
Later, although asymmetric risk-taking tactics were used many times to deal a big blow to Japan, the stimulated Japan significantly increased its naval investment. Their strong industrial strength and shipbuilding experience allowed them to not only replenish the lost old ships, but also improve the air defense and anti-submarine capabilities of the ship group. In a sense, it was precisely because of Hua Fei that the Japanese navy was forced to become more powerful than it was in history.
so. This is definitely not the time for the National Defense Force and Navy to seek a decisive battle. In fact, the reason why Hua Fei asked the navy to take the initiative to send troops to the Western Pacific and enter the deep blue waters was not to confront the Japanese Navy on the ocean, but to divert attention, divert the main force of the Japanese Navy, and cooperate with the army's operations.
It has to be said that the Japanese military is still highly cautious. They can neither allow the navy of the National Defense Force to enter the ocean and turn a blind eye, nor can they completely drain the navy in the East China Sea. Although some people in the Japanese military have proposed to abandon Taiwan and transfer the Taiwan navy to the North Sea and Bohai Sea to strengthen sea control over these waters. However, this proposal was strongly opposed by the Navy Ministry. Without air superiority, the Navy can still do something in the waters east of Taiwan, but it only exists in the North Sea and even the Bohai Sea. That is completely to put the navy's warships within the strike range of the Chinese air force. It's basically a living target.
No matter what. After the Japanese Navy's main fleet in the East China Sea was transferred, the pressure on China's coastal areas was suddenly reduced. Especially merchant ships and fishing boats no longer need to be so nervous. Seeing a plaster flag is like a mouse seeing a cat.
At this time, seemingly ordinary transport vehicles quietly assembled in Qingdao Port. When the East Route Army led by Cai Xun launched a comprehensive attack on Jinzhou, these transport vehicles set sail one after another and headed north. See Their deep waterline shows that these ships are by no means empty.
good. In order to speed up the Northeast Campaign, the National Defense Forces assembled the 11th Army, 14th Army, and 15th Army in Shandong long before the war started. The first battle in the United States went extremely smoothly, and the navy successfully attracted the main force of Japan's navy. Therefore, the general headquarters decided to immediately order the Eleventh Army and the Fifteenth Army to board the ships lightly and land on the Liaodong Peninsula through the navy. After occupying the peninsula. Quickly organize the army and move north to cooperate with other main forces. The main force of the Japanese army was completely surrounded in the Shenyang area.
in addition. The Sixth Army and the Thirteenth Army currently stationed in the Xing'an Mountains outside Northeast China have also mobilized most of their troops. Move from the north to the south to attack the Japanese troops in the Heilongjiang area.
in this way. ??A three-way, five-way attack and encirclement offensive map was formed from the north, west, and south. What was left for the Japanese Northeastern Army was to retreat from the Korean area except for a hopeless defense. Hua Fei and his staff all agreed not to block North Korea's retreat. After all, doing so would clearly mean eating the Japanese Northeast Army. But after all, it was still an army of 600,000 people. Even if it could be eaten, it would definitely cause serious indigestion for the National Defense Forces. Because Hua Fei knows very well that the current strength of the National Defense Force, which has been injected with huge amounts of his own private funds, has been greatly improved. But this kind of improvement is like a stimulant. Once the "drug effect" ends, the shortcomings of the National Defense Force's inability to develop later will be highlighted. The serious crisis of fiscal revenue has led to an extremely limited amount of military expenditure, which has even become the biggest stumbling block restricting the development of the National Defense Force.
so. The best way is to blitz Lidan quickly. Suddenly, the Japanese army's will to resist was completely destroyed in a short period of time, and the battle was won quickly. Let the Japanese troops return to North Korea and the two sides resume negotiations. In this case, time is extremely important to the National Defense Force.
Therefore, in order to carry out the most powerful attack on the Japanese army in Northeast China in the shortest possible time, Hua Fei almost flew more than half of the army, almost all of the navy and air force of the National Defense Force. In addition to the ten legions of the Third Route Army, plus the strength of the two armies boarded by Shandong, the strength of the two armies stationed in Waixing'anling, Vladivostok and other places increased by nearly 200,000. Nearly 600,000 troops were concentrated and continued to launch a comprehensive siege of the Northeast.
Under Jinzhou City, the National Defense Forces used a large number of bombers to carry out high-intensity and intensive carpet bombing of Jinzhou City for six hours. The continuous high-intensity bombing not only paralyzed the anti-aircraft firepower in Jinzhou City, but also dealt a devastating blow to the grapefruit defenses, especially heavy equipment such as artillery.
Although Cai Xun was eager to capture Jinzhou before the Central Route Army arrived, he took the lead in reaching Shenyang City before the West Route Army. But after three hours of air force bombing, he organized a probing attack. The still tenacious and powerful fire counterattack in Jinzhou City made Cai Xun quickly give up his tactical intention of a quick victory and made the decision to continue the bombing for three hours.
After the Air Force's performance, the artillery of the National Defense Force, which was well prepared and had abundant ammunition, came on stage. As soon as this weapon, known as the god of war, came into play, thousands of guns fired, gray smoke filled the sky, and dazzling tube flames erupted, making the sun in the sky dwarf it. It seemed that the temperature of the surrounding air, They all rose sharply in the trembling of this giant cannon.
The earth shook and the mountains shook, and the entire city of Jinzhou was instantly enveloped in a sea of ??fire as if it was the end of the world. Under such fierce shelling, even the waiting army soldiers did not believe that there could be any living people in Jinzhou City. Even if you don't get killed. Also in the shock wave of such an explosion. The internal organs were shattered to pieces. Even if you are physically strong, you will not be able to escape the more ferocious fire after the shelling.
Maintaining such a high-intensity bombardment also consumes staggering amounts of shells. So just an hour later, the headquarters issued an order for a general attack. Lu Qiang is the platoon leader of a platoon under the Bell Tank Company of the Third Battalion of the Fourth Regiment of the Fourth Army. Under his command, he led a total of five Warrior IV medium tanks.
The Warrior IV tank is equipped with a millimeter low muzzle velocity gun, which mainly attacks soft targets with high-explosive and fragmentation rounds. The Type 4 tank weighs a ton, is several meters tall, and has a frontal armor of 2.5 millimeters. It uses the same suspension system and engine as the Type 3 tank. It is a twelve-cylinder engine produced by the Hercules Diesel Engine Factory. It has a power of up to 100 horsepower and a maximum highway speed of kilometer.
There doesn¡¯t seem to be much difference between the Warrior IV tank and the Warrior II tank in terms of technical data, but in fact, they are no longer products of the same era. Whether it is in terms of firepower or protection, or in terms of mobility, especially the reliability of the tank, the Warrior Type III and IV tanks are one generation ahead of previous tanks in terms of technology.
This technology is not only about firepower and protection, but also about the overall reliability and combat effectiveness of the tank itself.
China¡¯s weapons design has abandoned its previous pursuit of some important data. These important data were completely influenced by the opinions of a layman like Hua Fei. Instead, it designed and manufactured the most reliable and stable tanks based on its existing technical strength and reserves. The function of the Type IV medium tanks is to cooperate with the Type III tanks to provide fire support and suppression.
Due to the actual strength of the enemy of the Chinese National Defense Force, the Type III light tank is more of a solid firepower for local strongholds, bunkers, tanks, etc., while the Type IV tank is more similar to the function of an infantry tank and can provide mobile firepower for infantry attacks. Support and conduct fire suppressive strikes on local strongholds and infantry. Therefore, in addition to a specially designed artillery, the Type IV tank can also be equipped with a machine gun. In addition, the large turret can also be used to modify the Type IV tank with a 1-gun.Cannon to increase the power of fire suppression.
Type III and IV tanks are equipped with troops. He was immediately welcomed by the tank crews. Even army officers who have studied abroad in various countries have to give a thumbs up to domestically produced tanks.
To a certain extent, China¡¯s Type III and Type IV tanks are already at an incomplete level compared to the tanks of European countries, which have made almost no progress in the past two decades. But technology. It cannot determine the victory or defeat of a war. At the beginning of World War II, the German army tanks were unable to compare with Britain and France in terms of quantity and quality. No matter how you look at it, they could not be the opponents of the French, the strongest army in Europe. But it was this kind of army that, in a short period of time, swept across the European continent and made the whole world tremble. But in 1991, the German army assembled Chika tanks to attack the Soviet Union. The Soviet army faced a strong lineup of tanks, but it was still in the first three months of the war. After advancing more than a thousand kilometers, they destroyed and captured Soviet tanks and vehicles, and captured tens of thousands of Soviet troops, creating another miracle.
In the words of the Germans themselves, tactics are often more important than the tank itself. Instead of using your slap, use your fist. Although Hua Fei had never heard of this sentence, he concentrated more than half of the elite forces of the National Defense Force. It was no longer as simple as a fist, but a sharp knife, a sharp blade, piercing the Japanese army in the northeast.
