Age of Rebirth

After learning that Liu Tiehan's troops had successfully captured Fengtian, Tang Qiuli's telegram further clarified the direction of the troops' next move and the key points that should be mastered.

To be honest, Liu Tiehan's battle to capture Fengtian had no thorns at all, and was not worth watching at all. Even Liu Tiehan, who commanded the troops, did not take this battle seriously. Come on.

Liu Tiehan's troops, which had been prepared for a long time, are ready to go. Six field brigades, three artillery brigades, and two air defense brigades have nearly 300 troops, plus a tank brigade transferred from the directly subordinate corps. After receiving the order, A gust of wind rushed out of the Jinzhou defense line. More than [-] tanks opened the way and attacked the city and villages all the way. The Japanese strongholds along the Jinzhou-Fengtian line, like snowballs in a boiling water pot, disappeared instantly after a swirl.

In one day, the Dongzhi troops captured more than [-] small and large towns along the way, and wiped out more than [-] scattered Kwantung Army garrison troops. However, after a cannon shot, the fragments of the city wall and the corpses of Kwantung Army soldiers flew into the sky together. Moreover, when the troops captured these strongholds, the main force did not stop at all. At around [-]:[-] p.m. [

This is Liu Tiehan's style of play, ostentatious and domineering, without concealing his intentions at all, with great fanfare and ferocity, just to let the Japanese know that we are coming to fight Fengtian City.

Liu Tiehan has a tank brigade and three artillery brigades in his hands, but Yufu Ono, the commander of the Fengtian Kwantung Army's garrison, does not have so much capital in his hands. The Kwantung Army troops guarding Fengtian are organized as a brigade, and they are second-rate brigades The regiment, the head of the brigade, Major General Ono, could not help but twitch his stomach when he saw the Chinese squadron that was overwhelmingly approaching from outside the city.

The Ono Brigade, at full strength, only has more than 200 troops, and it has to defend the surrounding areas of Fengtian. The defenders in Fengtian City are no more than 3000 people, plus the military police of the Gendarmerie Command and other armed personnel of the Japanese and puppet agencies. There are also less than 6000 troops.

As for the equipment, it is even less popular, because it is a second-rate garrison force, and the Kwantung Army headquarters did not plan to pull it out for field battles. There was only one artillery brigade, which was called artillery, not a dozen en-[-] infantry artillery, twenty or so Mortars, even heavy machine guns are considered heavy firepower, is there still a way to fight this battle?

For the Northeast region, which the Kwantung Army has always regarded as a stable rear base, it is absolutely important to station a brigade of troops. Even Xinjing has a wing-sized garrison. As for other towns, at most one squadron will be dispatched. More soldiers, or even just one instructor and one gendarmerie squad, can rule tens of thousands or even 10,000+ Chinese people. No Chinese dares to say "no" if they want food for food and labor.

But now these have become fatal to the Fengtian Japanese army. Looking at the tanks and countless cannons of the squadron outside the city, Ono's hand holding the binoculars trembled uncontrollably. He knew very well that as long as With one attack from the squadron, Fengtian City would immediately fall, and the city walls would be a fart. As long as the Chinese army's cannons were of the same color, these city walls would become a pile of broken bricks and rotten tiles.

It’s not that Ono didn’t want to fight, but it was the Kwantung Army during the Manchuria Incident. Yufu Ono not only had confidence and courage, he used thousands of people in his hand to fight the invading Chinese army for seven or eight days. With the huge disparity in military strength and firepower at present, Yuuo Ono has no chance of being crushed.

After several battles, including the two southward corps formed by the Kwantung Army, especially the battle of Niuxinshan, the Kwantung Army's elite troops were almost lost. Compared, it is not the same.

The troops that had regained some vitality were all dragged into the Far East battlefield by Commander Kenkichi Ueda, and fought the Soviets to death. For the remaining old and weak soldiers, Ono had no confidence in defending Fengtian City. Although Ono was arrogant, he was not stupid, nor He planned to be a deserter and give up Fengtian City to escape for his life. He issued an order that the troops around Fengtian should immediately move closer to Fengtian, break through the surrounding encirclement of the Chinese army, and enter the city to stand firm and wait for help.

After receiving the order, the Kwantung Army troops immediately left their original station and rushed to Fengtian day and night. This move hit Liu Tiehan's arms. The army, with the heaviest blow, although it is not the main purpose of this campaign to wipe out the vital forces of the Kwantung Army.

You can send the fero from Ener, if you don’t eat it, you’d be a fool. Even if all the Japanese troops around Fengtian are gathered, there are only about 2 people. As for the combat effectiveness and equipment, they are not as good as a fraction of the Dongzhi troops. Under the city, ambushing the Kwantung Army troops who came to help, it can be said that it is another way to encircle and attack the reinforcements.

At the same time, Ono sent an urgent telegram to the commander of the Kwantung Army, General Ueda Kenji, truthfully reporting the dangerous situation facing Fengtian, which has already weakened the strength of the army.

Kenkichi Ueda, who is commanding more than 30 troops in the Far East and storming the First Army of Timoshenko in the Far East, was shocked when he received a telegram from Yuo Ono. For him, it is definitely not good news.

Kenji Ueda attacked Arsenyev, but he couldn't attack for a long time. The Kwantung Army lost its spirit. Similarly, Timoshenko was also gritted his teeth and struggled to support. The army blocked the Soviet Transcaucasian Front that reinforced Timoshenko in Khabarovsk.

The Second Army was in a stalemate with the Soviet Kamchatka Front Army on the Kamchatka Peninsula. He commanded the Third and Fourth Army to besiege Timoshenko. Kenkichi Ueda really had no extra troops. The troops have been fully dispatched, and even those second-rate garrison troops are on the front line of blocking.

What Kenkichi Ueda needs now is time. The Soviet Union’s newly formed Far Eastern Front Army units are gradually gathering in the Far Eastern region. As long as he is given another four to five days, the exhausted Soviet Far Eastern Second Army will be wrung out by him. With a drop of blood, he fell to the ground. At this critical juncture, Kenkichi Ueda would never withdraw his troops from the front line and return to help Fengtian, even if he lost Fengtian.

In this, of course, it is the battlefield situation that does not allow Kenkichi Ueda to withdraw his troops. What is more, it is caused by personal vanity. According to the time, even if the soldiers return to rescue Fengtian, it will be too late, and once some troops are sent from the Far East battlefield to return to aid Fengtian, Timoshenko, who is only half breathed, will be able to breathe. It is hard to predict how the battle will unfold next.

Even if Fengtian is lost, Timoshenko's troops can't all be killed. How can Kenkichi Ueda, who is determined to write about the glory of the Great Japanese Empire, accept such an ending? The order was, "At any cost, stick to Fengtian for more than seven days."

The meaning of the order is very clear, Ono, you are ready to leave your life in Fengtian, and Kenkichi Ueda also knows that this order is different from a reminder to Ono and his second-rate troops. He hates, hates that Chinese devil Tang At the most critical moment, Qiu Li stabbed him hard in the back, his teeth itch and his heart ached with hatred. [

Ono, the commander of the Fengtian Kwantung Army, after receiving the order from Ueda Kenkichi, he could only sigh a long sigh and bite the bullet to organize resistance. Outside the city, the gunfire of the Chinese army massacring the Imperial Japanese Army made Ono realize that he had done something. What a stupid thing, why did the imperial army around Fengtian come to Fengtian City to die?

After thinking about it for a long time, Ono still took the risk of violating military regulations and truthfully telegraphed the dangerous situation facing Fengtian to the General Staff of the base camp. After that, he picked up his gun and went to the front line, ready to fight desperately with Liu Tiehan's troops.

In fact, Ono and the Kwantung Army troops in Fengtian City did not last even one night. At about 2000:[-] that night, Liu Tiehan commanded the troops to launch a general attack on Fengtian City. After an hour and a half of fierce bombardment, the Japanese army's defensive positions outside Fengtian were filled with dust and flames, bunkers and fortifications, barbed wire and deer firewood, accompanied by the broken limbs and arms of Kwantung Army soldiers, flew into the air.

Then came the aviation unit of the Independent Division, a bomber brigade and a fighter brigade, and carried out a deep attack on the Japanese defense in depth. Fengtian City was shrouded in a bloody wind. Send it to the remaining dark fort, and send the remaining dark fort to heaven.

By [-] o'clock in the morning, the troops entered Fengtian City. After more than three hours of street fighting, the Dongzhi troops had taken control of the entire city. The Kwantung Army's garrison troops, from the commander of the brigade, Major General Yufu Ono, down to more than [-] people, were all wiped out. Until ten o'clock in the morning, Fengtian City was completely captured.

Liu Tiehan, the deputy commander of the Independent Division and the commander of the East Pointing Force, and Zhao Yuhe, the chief of staff, studied together how to better complete the tasks assigned by the division commander j. Zhao Yuhe looked at Liu Tiehan and said: "Deputy division commander, The teacher's telegram has made it very clear that there are two tasks, but the task of transferring Kenji Ueda back may be a bit difficult."

Liu Tiehan raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, what do you say, Yuhe, what do you think?" Zhao Yuhe said, "According to the war situation in the Far East, Kenkichi Ueda is obviously reluctant to part with Timoshenko. , otherwise, Fengtian has been lost, why is there no sign of the main force of the Kwantung Army returning to help?"

Liu Tiehan dropped the pencil in his hand, and said with a sneer: "It's up to Kenkichi Ueda, we didn't fight hard enough, convey my order, and the troops immediately attack the Liaodong Peninsula according to the plan. Remember, we must be ruthless." Hit, not leave a blade of grass, until the little devil hurts."
