At dawn, Shanhaiguan, Qiao Jiajun's frontline headquarters.
"General, the Armored Division is calling urgently." Wang Gensheng walked into the headquarters excitedly and said to Qiao Anbang.
"Huh? What happened?" Qiao Anbang asked, looking at the excited Wang Gensheng.
"Mr. Zhang sent an urgent message. They successfully raided Shenyang at about two o'clock in the morning today. Most of the Japanese army in Shenyang was wiped out, and only a few escaped by chance." Wang Gensheng said excitedly.
"What? A raid on Shenyang?" Qiao Anbang was shocked when he heard this and stood up.
"That's right, that's what the message said. Shenyang is now under the control of our army." Wang Gensheng said and handed the message to Qiao Anbang.
Qiao Anbang took the telegram, read it in a hurry, frowned for a moment, and then said immediately: "Immediately send me an order. All the fighters and bombers of the Yaojin Air Division will take off immediately to conduct air strikes and bombings on the Jinzhou Japanese Army's defense line. All front-line divisions will immediately concentrate all their forces." artillery fire, stormed the Liuzhou River defense line, and then sent electricity to Zhang Xudong, asking him to immediately send some troops south along the South Manchuria Railway to attack the rear of the Japanese army."
"Yes!" Wang Gensheng agreed loudly and was about to leave.
Qiao Anbang waved his hand to stop him: "By the way, please tell Liang Yimeng to come see me as soon as possible."
"Okay." Wang Gensheng nodded, turned around and took the order.
However, after a while, Liang Yimeng, the commander of the special operations brigade directly under the Qiao family army, rushed to the headquarters covered with travel.
"Chief Commander, are there any combat tasks that you want to entrust to our special operations brigade?" Liang Yimeng asked after meeting and saluting.
"Yes!" Qiao Anbang said, turned around, picked up the command stick, pointed at Jinzhou on the map and said to Liang Yimeng: "You can speed up the special operations brigade to land in Jinzhou and conduct a surprise attack on the Jinzhou Japanese Army Headquarters. At the same time, you can also divide your troops to destroy the Japanese Army's communications and transportation. , to prevent the Japanese army from retreating."
"Yes! I'll take care of my humble job right away." As one of Qiao Anbang's absolute confidants, Liang Yimeng did not hesitate at all. He would immediately execute Qiao Anbang's orders without hesitation, even if he knew he was facing death.
After Liang Yimeng left, Qiao Anbang excitedly waved his fist twice and said to himself: "In this battle, I will completely defeat the Kwantung Army and eat them all. From now on, there will be no war outside the Kwantung Army."
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡Qiao Anbang¡¯s order was issued, and 200,000 Qiao¡¯s elite troops immediately launched a full-scale offensive against the Japanese army.
The skies from Jinzhou to Xingcheng are full of Japanese fighter planes roaring past, especially in the Liuzhou River area, where the powerful joint ground-air firepower composed of concealed bombers and thousands of ground artillery pieces is visible.
This area has been completely turned into a sea of ????fire, and the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties.
Inside the frontline headquarters of the Japanese Army in Jinzhou.
Yoshio Shinozuka has learned that Shenyang has been lost and that Tojo Hideki's life and death are unknown.
The entire Jinzhou Commander was in deathly silence at the moment, with only the breathing of Shinozuka Yoshio and the others clearly audible.
After a long silence, Yoshio Shinozuka suddenly pulled out his sword given to him by Emperor Yao and was about to commit suicide.
Several Japanese staff adjutants were shocked when they saw this, and quickly stepped forward to stop them: "General, you can't do this. We still have an army of 200,000 people, and we still have a chance."
"An army of two hundred thousand?" Yoshio Shinozuka smiled bitterly and said: "Now that Shenyang has been captured by the Chinese Army, our retreat has been cut off. The two hundred thousand Qiao Army in front will definitely not give up. We think How easy is it to evacuate smoothly?¡±
"Without Shenyang's logistical support, we simply cannot hold on for a long time. The 200,000-strong army has almost become a turtle in the urn, and will be destroyed in a matter of seconds." Shinozuka Yoshio said disheartenedly.
"If we were together, let alone he had an income of 200,000, even if he only had an income of 20,000, he wouldn't be so depressed.
However, what he is facing now is the Qiao Army, which has absolute firepower, equipment, air and ground superiority.
In the past, the Imperial Army of the Japanese Empire, which had been invincible on the Chinese battlefield, was far from able to compete with them when they were equal or even had a military advantage.
To sum it up in one sentence, the battlefield between China and Japan is no longer what it used to be.
"General, we can leave some troops to block the attack, and the main force will quickly evacuate Jinzhou, passing through Panshan, Yingkou, and Dandong, and evacuate to the Korean Peninsula. If the Korean Peninsula cannot be held, we also have the opportunity to withdraw from the peninsula to the mainland. As long as you are here, General, as long as We have 200,000 imperial troops here. If we return to our homeland to recuperate, we will still have a chance to make a comeback. General, please think again." A staff officer advised with tears in his eyes.
Yoshio Shinozuka pondered for a long time, and finally let go of the hand holding the general's sword, allowing his subordinates to snatch the sword away.
No one even wants to die, let alone an important Japanese general in a high position like Yoshio Shinozuka.
The reason why he chose to commit suicide on impulse was entirely because his hope was shattered, which was a huge blow to him.
And when he sees a glimmer of hope again, a strong desire to survive will occupy his mind and make him regain his fighting spirit.
"Pass my order, the second and third lines of defense will immediately prepare to retreat to the Panshan line of defense. All the Imperial Army officers and soldiers of the first line of defense will stand firm on the spot and fight to the last moment!" After regaining his composure, Shinozuka Yoshi The man ordered in a cold voice.
"Hai!" Several subordinates quickly lowered their heads without any hesitation.
As long as Shinozuka Yoshio regains his fighting spirit, they all still have hope. Even if they have to sacrifice tens of thousands of imperial troops, as long as most of the main force can withdraw smoothly, it will all be worth it.
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡Yoshio Shinozuka made a decision. The Japanese troops on the second and third lines of defense immediately began to retreat. Naturally, such a big movement could not be hidden from Qiao Anbang, who had an aerial reconnaissance plane.
After learning about this situation, Qiao Anbang ordered the main divisions to increase their offensive intensity and continue to storm the first line of defense of the Japanese army. At the same time, he began to send electricity to Liang Yimeng, asking him to immediately give up the beheading operation against Jinzhou, and the entire brigade rushed to seize Panshan County. At the same time, the armored division in Shenyang was ordered to dispatch a tank regiment and part of the artillery to cooperate with the special operations brigade.
He wants to annihilate all the 200,000 Japanese troops of Yoshio Shinozuka in Liaoning and never give them the chance to escape to the Korean Peninsula
Because everyone knows that if the 200,000 elite veterans successfully withdraw to Japan, in the near future, there may not be 200,000, but 2 million.
Therefore, no matter how much the price is paid, Qiao Anbang must eliminate as many effective forces of the Japanese army as possible, especially active veterans with rich combat experience.
Compared with entrances and military resources, China will never be afraid of any country. Even if it is a one-to-one battle loss, Japan cannot bear it.
What's more, the battle loss ratio between the Qiao Army and the Japanese Army has already been reversed, and the gap is still widening.
