Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Jinzhou is in danger, and Panshan County is now the only way for Japanese troops to retreat along the Bohai Bay coastline.

    Originally, Liang Yimeng's special operations brigade had completed the airborne landing on Jinzhou and was about to try a surprise attack on Jinzhou.

    When Qiao Anbang's order arrived, without any hesitation, Liang Yimeng immediately led the special operations brigade to land in Panshan County at full speed.

    Before they arrived, the tank regiment that attacked all the way from Shenyang had taken advantage of the opportunity to capture Panshan County.

    After the special operations brigade arrived quickly, Liang Yimeng quickly commanded the troops to repair the defensive fortifications, and at the same time sent additional reconnaissance troops to monitor the movements and distance of the Japanese troops.

    In order to delay the retreat of the Japanese troops and gain more preparation time for the special operations brigade.

    Qiao Anbang specially ordered the troops of the 1st Air Division to bypass the Jinzhou front line and conduct unscrupulous bombardments on the main force of the Japanese army, which numbered hundreds of thousands of people and was preparing to retreat.

    When the time came that afternoon, the Japanese reinforcements in the direction of Siping had arrived in Shenyang along the railway line. However, they were defeated by the main force of the armored division, which had been waiting for a long time.

    More than two thousand Japanese troops suffered heavy casualties under the terrifying assault of the armored division, and almost the entire army was wiped out.

    Only a few people fled back to Siping in embarrassment.

    The armored division firmly occupied Jinzhou, making Yoshio Shinozuka decisively give up the idea of ??retaking Jinzhou.

    The front battlefield of Liuzhou River in Jinzhou.

    More than 70,000 Japanese troops were treated as abandoned sons and left here to engage in a desperate and bloody battle with 200,000 Qiao's troops.

    Qiao's army had absolute strength, artillery fire, and air superiority, and launched fierce attacks on the Japanese Liuzhou River defense line again and again.

    Since the Japanese army refused to retreat, the fierce fighting between the two sides continued from day to night.  The fighting was extremely fierce.

    The entire Liuzhou River, which is not very wide, is littered with the bodies of soldiers from both sides who died.  The blood almost dyed the entire Liuzhou River red.

    With the Liuzhou River battlefield unable to fight for a long time, Qiao Anbang quickly dispatched more than a hundred fighter planes from the First Division and Second Regiment to fly north from Jinan, Qingdao and other places to provide support.

    After refueling at Pingjin Airport, these fighters joined the bombing and strafing of the Liuzhou River battlefield.

    At this point, the Qiao Army has more than 200 fighter planes of various types in the Pingjin area.

    It can carry out almost continuous rounds of bombing and strafing on Japanese positions.

    The air force went all out, and the artillery fire on the ground was extremely fierce.

    From day to night, a powerful artillery group composed of seven or eight artillery regiments directly under the Qiao Army has poured tens of thousands of artillery shells on the Japanese positions.

    The total weight has exceeded 20,000 tons.  The Japanese army's entire Liuzhou River defense line was almost flattened, with fire and smoke everywhere.

    By midnight, most of the 70,000 Japanese troops had been killed or injured, and the Liuzhou River defense line was finally broken through by Qiao's army.

    A small number of the remaining Japanese troops persisted in resisting until they died in the battle, while most of them planned to evacuate to Jinzhou along the railway and highway.

    However, the tanks and armored regiments directly under the Qiao Army's divisions, which were already going crazy, were much faster than the Japanese army.

    They charged all the way and thundered forward.  Soon they caught up with the remnants of the Japanese army.

    After a melee, the Japanese army finally collapsed. The tank regiments ignored the pursuit and followed Qiao Anbang's orders to quickly cross Jinzhou and pursue Panshan County.

    Their target is not the remnants of the Japanese army.  It was the main force of hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops who had fled Jinzhou.

    As for the defeated Japanese troops who have been scattered and disabled, the main force from the rear will come to deal with them.

    ??¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    At the same time, Qiao Anbang ambitiously led the 300,000 Qiao family troops in the Northern Expedition, and had basically established a victory.

    The Chongqing government army in the south also sent Jiexun, led by Xue Yue.  The joint forces of the fifth station area and the ninth station area of ??the third theater commanded by Bai Chongxi and others.

    After more than ten days of bloody fighting.  Finally, most of the Songhu garrison was wiped out, and this Oriental Pearl City, which had been away from the motherland for nearly two years, was the business of all nations - Shanghai was restored.

    Although Shanghai was recaptured, the national army also paid a heavy price.

    Especially in the battle for urban Shanghai, because the Chinese army did not have air and sea control, the ninth district troops responsible for the main attack suffered heavy losses in these battles.

    The tragic situation of the battle and the number of people who died were not far behind those of the Battle of Songhu.

    After regaining Shanghai, Chairman Chiang immediately announced in a high profile that he would return the capital to Nanjing.

    For a time, there was an uproar overseas and excitement at home.

    Chairman Chiang¡¯s prestige was once again enhanced, of course due to the deliberate actions of some newspaper organizations.

    The news that Qiao Anbang led 300,000 elites to leave for the Northern Expedition was far inferior to the Nanjing government¡¯s propaganda efforts to restore Shanghai by the national army.

      Almost all the eyes and attention of the military and civilians across the country were attracted to the Battle of Shanghai, except of course for most cities in the north.

    ??¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    China¡¯s battlefields were victorious, and a series of news about the Qiao Army¡¯s successive defeats of the Japanese Kwantung Army, the most elite army, were all accurately delivered to the current President of the United States, Roosevelt.

    The Roosevelt administration has always had a clear understanding of the Chinese battlefield.

    While maintaining friendly relations with Chairman Chiang¡¯s Nationalist Government, they secretly promised to support China in resisting Japan.

    But behind the scenes, it unscrupulously exports large quantities of steel, oil and other strategic materials to Japan.

    ?? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? If China wants to rise and become stronger, it must not count on foreign powers. They will not just watch a powerful China grow up under their noses.

    ¡°Whether Americans, British, or French, they all know that the existence of a strong and complete China is not in line with their interests in China.

    It will even cause unimaginable threats and losses to them.

    Of course, one situation cannot be ruled out, that is, those in power in China must always follow the footsteps of the United States. To put it harshly, they must act as lackeys for the United States.

    It has completely become a de facto vassal state of the United States, similar to South Korea and Canada in later generations.

    Therefore, when we learned that the Chinese National Revolutionary Army, under the command and leadership of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek and Qiao Anbang, was unstoppable and won successive victories against Japan.

    It seems that the Japanese are about to be completely driven out of mainland China and the Korean Peninsula.

    Roosevelt and his staff could not sit still. After careful discussion, the Roosevelt administration decided.

    ??Immediately increase exports to Japan.  Lifting the quota restrictions on exports to Japan would ideally allow the Japanese to fight the Chinese for another three or two years.

    It not only contained China¡¯s rise in troubled times.  And it continued to consume Japan's national power and military power.

    ??Thus the Americans reap the benefits.

    Not only Americans, but also the British and French quickly followed suit after the U.S. government made its decision.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­6

    With the strong support from European and American countries, the Japanese, who are almost at the end of their rope, seem to have grabbed a life-saving straw while drowning.

    Japan¡¯s various domestic industrial bases, military industry base, and industrial chains are mature and sound.  Once there is sufficient steel, oil and other strategic materials will be continuously provided.

    Japan¡¯s manufacturing capacity is still quite amazing, one month.

    As long as Japan is given another one to two months, the Japanese will be able to manufacture a new batch of weapons and ammunition.

    Arm the millions of new conscripts in the country into an army.

    Reorganize powerful army forces.

    In addition to military expansion, Japan's current Prime Minister Kanji Ishihara spent a high price to introduce a complete set of American equipment production lines from the United States.

    These include Garand semi-automatic rifles, American howitzers, large-caliber heavy artillery, etc. that have been used on a large scale by Qiao Jiajun.

    Ishihara Kanji believes that as long as the existing weapons and equipment of the Empire of Japan are comprehensively updated.

    With the super fighting consciousness and courage of the imperial army.  The Empire of Japan will surely be able to avenge its past humiliation and retake the occupied areas.

    However, just when Ishihara Wanji was taking great measures to rectify various domestic affairs in the country.

    An extremely unfortunate news came to him.

    ¡°The Jinzhou defense line that Shinozuka Yoshio claimed could hold for at least three months was completely broken through in less than three days.

    One-third of the 200,000 imperial soldiers deployed on the Jinzhou defense line were wiped out, and the remaining 100,000 troops were retreating hastily toward the peninsula.

    Even Shenyang was captured by the Chinese army, as the commander of the Kwantung Army.  Tojo Hideki's life, death and whereabouts are unknown.

    And, what¡¯s even worse is that Yoshio Shinozuka has learned that there is a Qiao Family Army unit blocking their retreat in Panshan County.

    Ishihara Wanji immediately spread out the map, leaned on it and found Panshan County.

    He frowned and thought for a long time.  Ishihara smiled and immediately said to Seishiro Itagaki: "Itagaki-kun, you immediately notify the Ministry of Navy and ask them to immediately send a naval fleet to the Bohai Bay to assist the evacuation of Shinozuka Yoshio's troops no matter what, and help them no matter what happens.  Break through the Chinese people¡¯s mountainous defense line and allow them to successfully evacuate to the Korean Peninsula.¡±

    ¡°You must know that the hundreds of thousands of main imperial troops in the hands of Shinozuka Yoshio are all well-trained elites.

    If they can safely withdraw to their homeland, the combat effectiveness of our millions of new soldiers will immediately increase qualitatively.  "Ishihara Wanjiexplained specifically.

    "Of course I know this, but Mr. Ishihara, the naval fleet suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Qingdao. Will they agree to take the risk?" Seishiro Itagaki said worriedly,

    "Whether they are willing or not, this matter is related to the life and death of the empire's hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and even more to the future of the empire. If anyone is unwilling to obey the order, military law will be dealt with." Ishihara Wanji said with a murderous look in his eyes.

    "Well, I'll do it right away." Itagaki Seishiro nodded quickly, turned around and left quickly.

    ?¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    With the lessons learned from the Battle of Qingdao, the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet naturally did not agree to take risks again.

    But in the end, they chose to succumb to Ishihara Kanji's lust, so the Japanese Navy dispatched a mixed fleet with dozens of advanced ships.

    We rushed from the sea to the Bohai Bay, preparing to rush to Panshan County to provide support to Shinozuka Yoshio's headquarters.

    ??¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Shanhaiguan Qiao Army Headquarters.

    Yali walked into Qiao Anbang's bedroom with a message in hand and reported to him: "The chief, based on the joint deciphering of our intelligence department, we accidentally received earth-shattering news."

    "Huh? What news deserves your description?" Qiao Anbang asked, looking at Yali's beautiful face with interest.

    "The Japanese Navy Combined Fleet has currently dispatched a mixed fleet to the Bohai Bay, preparing to support Yoshio Shinozuka in breaking through our Panshan defense line." Yali said.

    "Combined naval fleet?" Qiao Anbang said: "Last time in Qingdao, the Japanese navy escaped quickly without suffering any major losses. This time he came to the door without knowing whether he was alive or dead. No wonder I, Mr. Qiao, are cruel.  .¡±

    After saying this, Qiao Anbang continued: "Immediately send electricity to our navy's first fleet. Request all submarine forces to dispatch immediately to prepare to intercept and kill this mixed fleet of the Japanese army."

    "Yes." Yali stood up straight with her chest raised, saluted, then turned around and left as ordered.

    ??¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    After receiving Qiao Anbang¡¯s order at the Qingdao Military Port, the sailors of the submarine force of the Navy¡¯s First Fleet, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately cheered excitedly.

    Under the leadership of their respective commanders and captains, they walked into the submarine.

    It didn¡¯t take long.  More than 20 U-type submarines started to move one after another and left Qingdao Military Port one after another.

    Not long after arriving at the military port, the U-boats accelerated one after another and headed towards the Bohai Bay along the water surface.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­6

    At the same time, the Panshan defense line and the special operations brigade position.

    Special Operations Brigade Commander Liang Yimeng and his guards were inspecting the temporarily excavated and constructed forward defense lines and bunkers.

    Wherever Liang Yimeng went, the officers and soldiers stopped what they were doing.  They all stood up and saluted.

    Liang Yimeng quickly returned the greeting. After a round of inspection, he was about to return to his brigade headquarters.

    At this time, a tracked armored vehicle rushed from a distance and stopped not far from Liang Yimeng.

    A second lieutenant reconnaissance platoon leader jumped out of the car in a hurry and ran quickly to Liang Yimeng.  Saluted: "Brigade seat, the Japanese forward is less than ten kilometers away from our brigade's defense line."

    "Oh? How many Japs are there?" Liang Yimeng asked without the slightest panic.

    "There are about ten thousand people, and there are also some tanks and armored vehicles. It seems that the Japanese have known about our existence for a long time and plan to break through our defense line as soon as possible. Open the gap and escape." Second Lieutenant Reconnaissance Platoon  Long way.

    "Humph, they have a good idea. If they want to pass through the winding mountain, they must first ask if the assault rifles in the hands of the more than 5,000 soldiers in my special operations brigade are willing." Liang Yimeng snorted solemnly.

    He waved his hand to the second lieutenant platoon leader: "Okay, you go down first."

    The second lieutenant platoon leader saluted again, turned around, got in the car and left.

    Looking at the armored vehicles gradually retreating, Liang Yimeng pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned around and shouted: "Adjutant, give me an order. The whole brigade must be prepared to sacrifice for the country and fight to the last moment. Without orders, the Japanese soldiers must not be released."  Pawn passed!"

    "Yes!" An attendant adjutant quickly stepped forward and responded.

    "Send an urgent message to the headquarters again and request the Air Force to provide uninterrupted air support to ensure that the Panshan defense line is not lost."

    ??¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    After a forced march that lasted for nearly a day and night, Shinozuka Yoshio's main force of hundreds of thousands finally arrived at Panshan.

    At this time, the main force of Qiao's army was still in Jinzhou, but the tank troops directly under each division were quickly chasing the Japanese.

     At the critical moment, the Japanese army used powerful firepower and personnel at all costs to launch a fierce attack on the Panshan defense line of the special operations brigade.

    However, because the special operations brigade has strong air fire support and its own equipment advantages, its combat effectiveness is strong.

    Several fierce attacks by the Japanese army ended in failure.

    And dozens of Japanese warships that rushed to the Bohai Bay for support were attacked by an unknown number and unknown submarines as soon as they entered the offshore waters.

    They are naturally Qiao Anbang's U-shaped submarine force.

    Over the years, the Japanese military has never taken the Chinese Navy seriously, especially now that the Chinese Navy has long been wiped out by the invincible Combined Fleet of the Imperial Japanese Navy.

    The only thing that can make the Japanese Navy fearful is the powerful air threat of Qiao Jiajun after approaching the shore.

    Therefore, the Japanese navy¡¯s mixed fleet, from the captain to the privates, did not expect that there were submarine forces intercepting and killing them halfway.

    When torpedoes hit warships that were caught off guard one after another, the Japanese commanders on the ships even thought that they had hit a reef and ran aground.

    Under the attack of the wolf pack tactics of the U-boat force, the Japanese naval reinforcements lost two light cruisers and a frigate in just thirty minutes.

    The Japanese mixed fleet suffered a heavy loss, and then they thought of turning around and running away, instead of taking the orders of their superiors seriously.

    The U-boat force took advantage of the situation to pursue them, severely damaging two Japanese ships and then sinking them.

    There is no hope for naval reinforcements, because there is no air superiority, and the special operations brigade is powerful and has sophisticated weapons.

    It took Yoshio Shinozuka half a day, thinking he could defeat the special operations brigade.

    At this time, a temporary steel torrent of seven or eight tank regiments finally caught up.

    The steel torrent composed of thousands of No. 4, Tiger, and Panther tanks suddenly broke through the temporary defensive positions constructed by the Japanese army.

    The special operations brigade and the armored division tank regiment took advantage of the situation to launch an attack, and the air force also bombed with all its strength.

    Soon the main reorganization divisions of the Qiao Army arrived in time, and a fierce melee began.

    Nearly 400,000 troops from both sides launched a desperate and bloody battle in the Panshan area.

    The assault group composed of thousands of Qiao Jiajun tanks and armored vehicles swept away hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops with unrivaled force.

    They were attacked in pieces, and it was difficult to look at the beginning and the end.

    The divisions of the Qiao Army took advantage of the situation to attack fiercely, and the fierce battle continued until the evening. Two-thirds of the hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops were killed or injured. The remaining ones finally couldn't bear it anymore and began to flee.

    ??The various units of the Qiao Family Army immediately launched a pursuit without stopping. By this point, the 200,000 elite members of the Japanese Kwantung Army had disappeared and disappeared.

    When Qiao Anbang received the good news from the front line, he couldn't help but sigh: "Well, from now on, there will be no war outside Shanhaiguan. I can finally free my hands to deal with polar bears."

    In his excitement, Qiao Anbang immediately divided his divisions to pursue the remnants of the Kwantung Army. At the same time, he quickly marched towards major and medium-sized cities in the three eastern provinces to regain the entire territory of the three eastern provinces as soon as possible.

    Ten days later, all units of the Qiao Family Army occupied the three eastern provinces. Only less than 50,000 of the 300,000 Japanese Kwantung Army fled to the Korean Peninsula.

    After resting for half a month, Qiao Anbang mobilized two reorganized divisions, and with the support of the air force, crossed the Yalu River and officially entered the Korean Peninsula.
