    There was not a single anti-aircraft weapon, and the only heavy machine guns capable of anti-aircraft shooting were almost all lost in the Twin Cities.  [.Com/Text was almost helpless and could only endure the bombings. The Japanese army suffered more losses in the air raid than even the artillery fire they endured outside Shuangcheng in the early morning.

    Especially napalm bombs, this kind of terrorist weapon that can spread into a large area when burned, is an irresistible nightmare for any army.  When the fleet consumed all the ammunition they carried, the entire town of Lanling was engulfed in a sea of ??fire after leaving.  This small, typical northeastern market town will only exist as a place name on the map for a long time to come.

    After this air raid, Lieutenant General Suzuki Teiichi couldn't help but burst into tears when faced with the troops that suffered heavy casualties and were once again defeated.  His 25th Division was completely crippled this time, and it had only been less than two days since the reorganized 25th Division actually entered the battle after the battle last autumn.

    "Compared to Suzuki Teiichi who was in tears, Ma Fengqi in Shuangcheng was slightly relieved, but not too relaxed.  Because he knew that the retreat of the 25th Division was just the beginning, and the real test was yet to come.  The Ninth Division behind him will be the real tough nut he has to face.

    After the poison gas produced by the Japanese poison gas shells on the battlefield had evaporated, Ma Fengqi ordered people to quickly clean up the battlefield.  After collecting the weapons abandoned by the Japanese army on the battlefield, Ma Fengqi quickly adjusted his deployment.  In addition to the three captured 105mm cannons and seven 75mm Type 38 field guns that were incorporated into the brigade's direct artillery group, six 120mm howitzers, and 16 150mm,  Ninety mm mortars were integrated into his forward troops.

    Although these Meiji 38-style 120mm howitzers have fallen behind, their range is only 5,000 meters.  But after all, no matter where the caliber is, the lethality of the 120mm shell is still better than that of the 75mm mountain gun.  After the deployment was completed, Ma Fengqi also smiled bitterly as he watched the deployed artillerymen, with the cooperation of the infantry, push these heavy artillery into the newly constructed positions: "If others knew that he was using the 120mm howitzer as an infantry cannon,  , will anyone accuse themselves of wasting money?¡±

    But for Ma Fengqi, these artillery pieces and the sufficient artillery shells abandoned by the Japanese army were a waste.  Regardless of whether these artillery are lagging behind or not, they are better than nothing.  On the battlefield, Japanese ammunition, light and heavy machine guns, and grenade launchers were abandoned everywhere. These weapons were also taken back by Ma Fengqi and all strengthened to the front-line troops.

    After doing this, the density of defensive firepower on the front line of the two cities was terrifying.  Although the frontal strength was only four battalions, the number of light and heavy machine guns and mortars was more than a brigade.  These Japanese-style crooked guns and Type 92 light and heavy machine guns are no strangers to the troops of the Jidong Military Region, which started with Japanese-style weapons.

    These numbers can be described as huge light and heavy machine guns, more than a dozen mortars, plus six 120mm howitzers that have been strengthened to the front line, turning the defense of the front line troops into a fire hedgehog.  In the subsequent battles, the Ninth Division suffered a lot.

    Not only has the firepower of the frontline defense forces been greatly enhanced, but Ma Fengqi also has some good things left behind when the 25th Division retreated.  Although the special smoke shells carried by the 25th Division on this trip were during the battle, most of them were hit by artillery fire and exploded.  But because there was still a part of it that was dispersed and reserved, it completely fell into Ma Fengqi's hands.

    Because no one dares to store these Pandora¡¯s box of demons in one place.  These things are a double-edged sword. When they hurt others, they may also hurt themselves at any time.  Although the number of chemical shells that fell into Ma Fengqi's hands was not too many, only six or seven hundred, the number of poison gas canisters was quite large.

    Ma Fengqi has made up his mind that since these demonic artillery shells were made by the Japanese to kill Chinese people, they should be returned to their former owners at the appropriate time.  This also corresponds to the saying that good deeds will be rewarded with good deeds and evil deeds will be rewarded with evil deeds.  When the time comes, all retribution will come.

    As for the use, Ma Fengqi is not worried at all.  Because the Japanese army was accustomed to using poison gas during combat, especially when they were at a disadvantage.  As soon as conditions allowed, Yang Zhen immediately selected more than 500 people who had passed the strict review from the high school graduates of the Puppet Manchukuo State who had enlisted in the army, and established a chemical defense company for each brigade.  Specially used to dismantle or utilize captured Japanese chemical weapons.

    Although the number of these people is not too large, they have received half a year of training from the military region, and they are all graduates of national high schools, so they have a high starting point.  He is still very skilled in the mastery and use of these chemical weapons.  Although there are only seventy-three people assigned to the second independent brigade, there is still no problem in maximizing the effectiveness of these hundreds of poison gas shells.

    After everything is deployed, we stand in Shuangcheng at this moment.The city wall was already in tatters under the bombardment of Japanese army artillery fire. After looking at the Japanese-controlled area to the south for a long time, Ma Fengqi put down the telescope in his hand and said to Huang Shengbin beside him: "Old Huang, what we are going to face next is probably  It's a fierce battle. The Shuangcheng is located in a plain area, and there is almost no danger in this battle. We must be careful. "

    Huang Shengbin beside him heard this and looked back at Shuangcheng County behind him, nodded and said: "The terrain here is indeed a very bad terrain for fighting a blocking battle where the enemy is strong and we are weak. However, No. 1  You¡¯re right. We can¡¯t always huddle in the mountains, and one day we will have to sit in the plains.¡±

    "This battle is a difficult test for us, but it is also a rare opportunity. Whether the Second Independent Brigade can truly become a fist force of the entire army like the First Brigade and the Fifth Brigade depends on this battle.  Lao Ma, as a military commander, you have a heavy burden. "

    Hearing this, Ma Fengqi nodded slightly but did not answer. Instead, he raised his telescope and looked into the distance.  I don¡¯t know what to think about anymore.  After a long time, he said: "Political Commissar, no matter what big moves No. 1 will make next, one thing is certain, the direction of the Twin Cities is a top priority. Defending the Twin Cities is equivalent to stabilizing the flanks of the entire battlefield."

    "Once the twin cities are lost, not only Harbin will not be able to defend it. The next battle plan of the headquarters will probably suffer serious losses. The position we are in now is a heavy responsibility, and I am walking on thin ice now. I finally realize that I was  No. 1 took us out of the mountain and left the old Heidingzi secret camp before heading north. "

    "Judging from the current actions of the main force of the column and the first column, the headquarters is very determined in this campaign, and its appetite must be quite big. I always feel that the headquarters wants to eat up all the Japanese troops in Binjiang Province and Longjiang Province this time.  The puppet army then marched south to seize Xinjing."

    Having said this, Ma Fengqi also knew that he was being whimsical. He touched his nose and said: "Haha, I also know that with the character of No. 1, although he is a good soldier and takes risks, he will not take such risks. It is somewhat wild. But I always feel that the headquarters  The scale of this operation will not be too small.¡±

    Ma Fengqi and Huang Shengbin were both secretly guessing whether they would arrive in Harbin on the 1st and what big move would be made by the headquarters asking the Second Independent Brigade to stay in the twin cities for at least seventy-two hours.  In fact, their guess was not wrong, Yang Zhen did arrive in Harbin.  But the big move was not what they thought.

    Yang Zhen¡¯s current target is very simple, which is the Japanese 51st Division stationed in Qiqihar.  For Yang Zhen, this goal was even more important than capturing Harbin.  Regardless of whether the 51st Division participates in the battle for Harbin or not, he is Yang Zhen's next most important target.

    In fact, for Yang Zhen, who now has the First Division in the north, the Japanese 9th and 25th Divisions in the south, and the 51st Division in the west, facing Japanese attacks from three sides, and even other Japanese divisions participating in the battle, facing  The best deployment for the 51st Division is to focus on defense.  What he should do most is to go north and deal with the First Division behind him first.

    But for Yang Zhen, the goal of fighting the 51st Division was placed first.  Yang Zhen's decision puzzled many people, including Guo Bingxun.  In fact, what prompted Yang Zhen to make up his mind to fight the 51st Division to capture Qiqihar and Longjiang Province in Manchuria was not the importance of Qiqihar's strategic location, but just two words of resources.

    To put it bluntly, Yang Zhen¡¯s action against the 25th Division is to capture Longjiang Province in a short period of time, which contains resources related to his long-term strategic goals in the future.  Compared with this goal, other things are not so important to Yang Zhen.

    Even among the reasons for the surprise attack on Harbin, apart from wanting to obtain Harbin¡¯s industrial base and talent base.  A large part of it is to march westward into Longjiang Province and completely occupy Binjiang Province in order to seize resources that are crucial to their future development.

    Sanjiang area is rich in coal resources. Although the iron ore is not as good as Anshan in Liaoning, it is sufficient.  But it does not have the oil needed to maintain a modern army and the most basic military raw material copper.  The two banks of the Nen River in the Heilongjiang region are China's largest oil fields in later generations, but they are concentrated to the west of the Lesser Khingan Mountains.

    Although Nenjiang County in Longjiang Province does not have a coal mine as large as Sanjiang area, it does have the largest copper mine in Northeast China, and the Duobaoshan copper mine ranks among the top three in the country.  Moreover, the Duobaoshan area not only has the largest copper mine in Northeast China, but also molybdenum and gold, which are crucial to the development of the armor industry.  The Zhaodong and Zhaozhou areas contained the largest oil field in China, the Daqing Oil Field.

    Copper is the most basic raw material for manufacturing guns and ammunition, and it is also one of the most important raw materials.  In addition, it is also used extensively in the manufacture of communication tools.  Petroleum is the blood of modern industry and the lifeblood of modern industry.Transform the lifeblood of the army.  Without oil, modern equipment such as tanks and airplanes would be nothing but scrap metal.

    As long as you can capture Longjiang Province and rely on its rich copper mines and oil resources, you can truly build a modern army that has the ability to completely defeat the Japanese army.  Instead of being stuck like now, you can only accept the exorbitant asking prices.

    Although we now have planes, cars and tanks, they are not in large numbers.  Relying solely on imports, we can barely maintain our financial resources.  However, if the army further develops and grows in the future and relies solely on imports, even if the factors on the European battlefield are not considered.  The financial resources required alone are not something I can afford.
