Chapter 1251 Bombing Shanhaiguan
Chapter 1251 Bombing Shanhaiguan
Li Yunlong followed Huang Yu's gaze and looked at the map, then frowned and asked, "You want to destroy the railway line of the Kwantung Army going south and slow down the march of the Kwantung Army's southward support troops."
Huang Yu nodded and replied: "The Kwantung Army takes the train south and can reach Pingjin in two days."
"But if we blow up the railway and let them march on foot, it could take three or four days on the road, not to mention two days."
Li Yunlong nodded and replied: "It's a good idea..."
"But the railway line that the Kwantung Army will take to move south is not easy to bomb..."
"The entire Shanhaiguan line is heavily defended by the North China Front, and the entire Shanhaiguan movement is defended by the Kwantung Army, and there is Shanhaiguan in between... It is definitely impossible to fight outside the customs. At most, the railway line to the west of Shanhaiguan will be bombed."
"But Okamura Neiji urgently needs the Kwantung Army to go south to support Pingjin. He will definitely let the troops stick to the railway line to ensure the safety of the Kwantung Army going south."
"This way, even if we send troops north, it will be difficult to blow up the railway line."
"Maybe he will lose his wife and lose his troops, and the troops sent to blow up the railway line will be lost on the battlefield."
Huang Yu did not deny Li Yunlong's analysis, but he did not give up the idea of destroying the railway line. Finally, he stopped at Shanhaiguan and said suddenly after looking at it for a minute.
"Deputy Commander..."
"It is really difficult to blow up this railway line with conventional means."
"But today's Eighth Route Army is no longer what it used to be..."
"In addition to conventional combat methods, we can also use some unconventional combat methods, such as aircraft bombing..."
"The aviation units under the Kwantung Army can support Shanhaiguan at any time, but as long as our raid is sudden enough, the aviation group can evacuate Shanhaiguan before the Kwantung Army aviation arrives on the battlefield."
"I just did the math..."
"Beiping Airport has 32 aircraft that can take off for combat..."
"A plane carries six aerial bombs, which adds up to more than 190 aerial bombs."
"If these aerial bombs are completely spread along the railway line, it will be no problem to destroy a two-kilometer-long railway line."
Li Yunlong suddenly interrupted: "Xiao Huang, since we can send out the air force to bomb the railway line, why not bomb the railway line west of Shanhaiguan..."
"Due to the limited flight distance, the aviation force under the Kwantung Army is unable to provide air support to the railway line west of Shanhaiguan..."
"It is certainly safer for us to bomb the railway lines west of Shanhaiguan."
Huang Yu shook his head and replied: "The farther the bombing site is from Pingjin, the farther the Kwantung Army's southward reinforcements have to march on foot, and the later it will be before they arrive at the Pingjin battlefield."
"Although the Kwantung Army aviation can directly reinforce Shanhaiguan..."
"But as long as our air force fights quickly and withdraws after the bombing, it will basically not come face-to-face with them."
Li Yunlong quickly made up his mind: "Then blow it up..."
"We will send a telegram to the former enemy headquarters now, asking them to contact the air force to bomb the railway lines along Shanhaiguan, so that the Kwantung Army cannot ride or sink across Shanhaiguan and go south to reinforce Pingjin."
…………
Shanhaiguan is the most important military fortress for the Kwantung Army entering and exiting the Northeast. A reinforced regiment is stationed all year round, and they are all elite Kwantung Army troops.
They received orders from Umezu Umejiro last night.
Protect the railway line. In the next two days, a large number of Kwantung Army troops will take trains from Shanhaiguan to the south to support the North China Front.
So before dawn, the entire Shanhaiguan was put under martial law by the Kwantung Army.
Two full brigades of Japs and a regiment of Imperial Army troops fought their way out of Shanhaiguan, armed with artillery and chariots, and set up defenses along the railway line.
There were more than a hundred Japanese and puppet troops every one or two kilometers. Relying on the favorable terrain along the railway line, crane guns and various artillery were set up, and whenever anyone approached the railway line, they would use bullets and artillery shells to greet them, even if the person was a wild boar.
Under such a tight defense, let alone the Eighth Route Army soldiers, it was difficult for even a fly to get close to the railway line, let alone blow up the railway line to prevent the Kwantung Army from going south to support Pingjin.
At the Japanese Army Regiment Headquarters in Shanhaiguan, the chief of staff was pointing at the map and reporting his latest arrangements to the commander.
"Captain..."
"In addition to the agitation garrison along the railway line, the humble post also deployed two reinforced squadrons to patrol back and forth along the railway line in armored trains."
"If a garrison is attacked by the enemy, the armored train can reach the battlefield in only twenty minutes at the slowest, which is enough to eliminate all invading enemies."
The co-captain smiled and replied: "Very good..."
"As long as we hold on to the railway line and ensure the safe arrival of reinforcements from the south to Pingjin, it will be a great achievement..."
"Buzzing..."
A burst of aircraft roar suddenly reached the wing headquarters.
The commander frowned and replied: "It seems that the commander attaches great importance to supporting the troops going south..."
"In order to ensure that they arrived safely at the Pingjin battlefield, even the aviation force was dispatched."
"However, there are no organic opponents in the three eastern provinces. The infantry is enough to deal with all enemies who want to get close to the railway line and blow up the railway line..."
"Sending aviation forces at this time would be overkill."
The wing chief of staff was just about to nod in agreement when he saw a captain running towards them in a hurry: "Sir..."
"The plane that suddenly appeared over Shanhaiguan came from the direction of Peiping, not Shenyang..."
"And there are a lot of them, at least thirty...all flying with bombs attached..."
"Beiping..." The captain's face quickly turned pale and he cried out.
"Isn't the airport already occupied by the Eighth Route Army? Where did they get the planes to support us? Are you mistaken..."
The captain shook his head and replied firmly: "More than thirty planes were flying towards Shanhaiguan in a majestic manner. I can't be mistaken..."
The expression of the commander of the wing's staff also changed, and he shouted with a frightened expression: "No..."
"Sir..."
"The plane above us belongs to the Eighth Route Army..."
"The Eighth Route Army also has an air force. Although it is not strong, they captured all the aircraft of the North China Front parked at Peking Airport..."
"The plane above us came from Peiping. It can only be them..."
"Bagh Ya Road..." the commander of the regiment took a breath and cursed: "The Eighth Route Army must want to use planes to blow up the railway lines to prevent our Kwantung Army from going south to support Pingjin."
"Fall in love with the troops stationed along the railway line and ask them to prepare for air defense immediately..."
"The Eighth Route Army sent planes to attack the railway line..."
After saying that, he reported to the Chief of Staff who also looked solemn: "Contact Shenyang Headquarters immediately..."
"The Eighth Route Army dispatched a large number of aircraft to bomb the railway line. Please Commander, please immediately send aircraft to support Shanhaiguan and eliminate the Eighth Route Army's air force..."
"Buzz buzz..." The wing headquarters was instantly in chaos, and at the same time, the roar of aircraft in the sky suddenly became louder.
The wing commander shouted again: "No... the Eighth Route Army planes have begun dive bombing..."
