The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

Of course, the strength of the Japanese army is not limited to this.As the first 2nd Division to truly experiment with new military reforms, it not only implemented an unprecedented three-three system, but also used three infantry regiments to replace the previous two brigades and four regiments, and left attack tactics Formation, thus realizing the change of division commander commanding the whole army for the first time.

On the other hand, the original old-style auxiliary heavy weapons units were re-deployed. The divisions were directly under the chariot wing, artillery wing, and cavalry reconnaissance, engineering, and transportation regiments. The organization was also much more flexible. In a huge team of 6000 people, the unity of cluster attacks has been realized.

In order to realize this strategic attack, Michitaro Komatsuhara personally participated in the formulation of the entire plan, supervised the deployment in the early stage, and closely contacted the oth division, which was almost exhaustive.

Just like tonight's night attack was also a planned action, the attack column formed by more than 1 skirmishers had at least three waves before and after. Fighting together from the front, behind, there is a third, and the fourth formed by the reserve team!

With the momentum of rolling waves, to give the enemy continuous continuous impact, forcing them to fatigue and exhaust their combat power, and finally collapse, is their tried-and-tested trick.

On the Sino-Japanese battlefield, a frontal fight with an equal number of people and an equal morale is destined to be recorded in the annals of history!Qiu Qingquan didn't even expect that what he thought was just an unlucky character who was just a solid chopping board, turned out to be the bright protagonist who shines first by accident!

The sky is bright!On the battlefield filled with gunpowder smoke, the sound of cannons was still rumbling, and it was obvious that they had an advantage in numbers. In terms of artillery application, the elite teaching corps, which was several miles away from the Japanese army, fought three consecutive waves of Japanese troops with all their might, and finally smashed this tough wave. It was ruthlessly smashed, standing proudly in front of the tide like a rock, and behind it, thousands of dead bodies were left behind, most of them belonged to the Japanese army!

The huge gap in firepower cannot be made up for by the spirit of the Japanese army. The precision shooting technique was evened out by the soldiers of the teaching corps who were not too bad, while the heavy machine guns and mobile heavy weapons were suppressed.But it was an overwhelming advantage. The key heavy artillery position was destroyed, and the hidden artillery fire pulled up from behind had to be shifted before dawn due to the situation. As a result, the infantry lacked the cover of large-caliber heavy artillery, and they went up and down.Win or lose!

By nine o'clock in the morning.The teaching corps has successfully broken through the Japanese army's five-kilometer-deep attack formation, and the pervasive squadron fire search killed all the lucky stragglers. On the battlefield, at least four to five thousand dead Japanese soldiers were left behind.There were hardly one wounded soldier!

The teaching team also suffered more than 2000 casualties. Qiu Qingquan didn't frown on this. He knew very well that this battle was definitely won!

The second largest wave of attacks was strangled in the cradle before it even started!There was a one-third shortfall in manpower.Michitaro Komatsuhara was completely disappointed, but he was still a little far from despair.It is not terrible to lose most of the heavy weapons, and it is not terrible to suffer heavy infantry casualties. What broke his heart the most was the chariot regiment, which had high hopes, and it was finally confirmed in the early morning that the entire army was wiped out, and no one was spared!

There are more than 100 armored combat vehicles and two to three hundred vehicles of various kinds. More than 1000 elite soldiers of the Imperial Army, precious armaments gathered together, did not even know where the enemy was or what it looked like, just like a boat in a tsunami, it was wiped out.Clean and neat!

Such a huge loss must be attributed to the previous intelligence reconnaissance, whether it was the reconnaissance regiment he was directly under, or the oth division.As well as the feedback from the Kwantung Army's intelligence department, it is conclusive that it is impossible to have a large-scale means of killing here.

So.How the hell do these guys do it?Where did it come from? !

Your Excellency the Division Commander aged ten years overnight, lying on the map with bloodshot eyes, staring at the precise calculations of the world-class combat map, puzzled.

The enemy’s advanced air bases that have been learned so far are most likely to be on the front line of Beiping, and it is very dangerous to go further. Although Wanquan, Baotou, Taiyuan, and Datong all have conventional fighter jets, there are no large-scale takeoffs and landings at night. .The only possibility is that Kulun, which the Soviet Army actively disclosed, is more than 700 kilometers away from here, and the road next to the grassland is difficult to walk. How did you get around?

I don't understand!

Michitaro Komatsuhara felt a sense of despair, and Lieutenant General Sasaki of the [-]th Division, who was almost disabled, even more simply believed that his military career in this life was coming to an end, and there was nothing to hope for.Their original plan was foolproof, and they were [-]% sure that they would be able to break through the stubbornly defending enemy positions, but now they are beaten up instead, which is beyond description!

In desperation, the two lieutenant generals pinched their noses and contacted the Kwantung Army Command to request combat guidance. Umezu Yoshijiro was not surprised, because all kinds of accidents had made him insensitive over the past year, and any sudden incident was acceptable. .

He immediately contacted the seventh and eighth divisions in Rehe, asking them how they were doing, whether it was possible to rush out of the pass in the shortest possible time, attack the enemy from inside and outside, and meet the two bandit divisions to join forces.

Sonobe and Lieutenant General Ichiro of the Seventh Division responded the fastest and most directly - they have now been divided into two, and one part of them supported the Chengde battlefield to help the Ninth Division strictly prevent the defense from getting separated; the other part was taught to a division of the main team A divisional police officer with Fu Zuoyi's army was pinned along the Duolun-Chifeng line, and had no time to care about others.

Rush out in a short time?There are no doors!The other party didn't know what to do, they fought to the death on the defense line as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and the shells flew into the mountains like they didn't need money. Hundreds of fighter planes of various colors harassed and fought day and night. More than 1000 casualties have been caused.If it wasn't for the opponent not taking a resolute offensive, they might have already entered!

Lieutenant General Masazu Tsukata of the Eighth Division gave exactly the same answer. He was a unit that had just been transferred from Heilongjiang to the Rehe battlefield. Set up on the front line of Linxi and Lindong, the troops are seriously scattered, the attack is weak, and the defense depends entirely on the location.

Last night, they also responded to the 2nd Division and launched a fierce attack, but the troops were bombarded overwhelmingly as soon as they came out. They didn't know why the opponent had so many shells, and the infantry was struggling to advance. The second layer of defense, it is not easy to try harder, but the opponent's swarms of dive bombers are coming again!

"Damn China Air Force! Why do you always have to fight against the empire!? Could it be that the majestic Japanese Empire has nothing to do with them?!"

Only at this moment did Yoshijiro Umezu deeply understand how sad and aggrieved the navy was at the time.He obviously has the world's top three powerful steel forces, the world's largest battleship, and the thickest cannon, but he was repeatedly insulted by the opponent's vulnerable winged guys, and even sank half of the giant ships and almost all aircraft carriers.

Who would have imagined that this weapon, which was not good before, was used to the extreme, and the number was so large that it was so annoying!The imperial navy and army are catching up, and the performance of the products produced is still a lot worse, and the pilots and the first generation of elites are all dead!The new generation is being consumed at an alarming rate!

Chief of Staff Okamura Ningji gave him a final stab in the heart, and said very bluntly: "Your Excellency, the fate of the 2nd and [-]th divisions has been doomed, and the Chinese will not let them go. The entire Chaha The Er battlefield is a huge trap, and the goal is to completely eliminate these two mechanized divisions whose activities have posed a serious threat to them!"

"It's too late for you to say it now!" Umezu Yoshijiro was very upset, such an afterthought is useless!

Neji Okamura kept his face unchanged: "We had a huge mistake in calculating the combat power of the Chinese troops beforehand. This is not our responsibility. The staff headquarters has also deliberated over and over again."

Umezu Yoshijiro had a headache, and waved his hand to stop the play of shirking responsibility: "So, what shall we do next?"

Two sharp lights flashed behind Nejima Okamura's glasses: "Drive the North Korean and Taiwan corps forward, block the gap in the entire defense line, force the Chinese military to suspend the attack, buy time, and coordinate the naval landing operation!"

Umezu Yoshijiro's spirit was lifted, what a brilliant plan!As long as the imperial soldiers are not consumed, it doesn't matter how many idiots in the colonies die. By the way, they will create hatred between them and China, and they will kill multiple birds!When the time comes, how can they do it!

With one order, a full [-] Korean and Taiwanese corps quickly rushed to the battlefield in three groups from southern Liaoning, filling them into the increasingly fierce war mill, and receiving training!

With no hope of reinforcements, Komatsuhara Michitaro made a difficult decision. The two divisions joined together and quickly retreated towards the old Baylor Mansion on the east side of the West Prince's Mansion. Once there, it is considered safe for the time being.As for the troops in front, it counts as much as they can survive.

But as soon as his plan came out, the communication officer rushed into the headquarters with a pale face holding a telegram, and reported tremblingly: "The latest results from the reconnaissance plane, a large group of Chinese chariot troops appeared on our north and east sides, we... ...are surrounded!"

"Hey mud? What nonsense are you talking about! How is it possible!"

Michitaro Komatsuhara almost ran away, but soon beads of sweat rolled down. He understood that he had miscalculated again, and he had greatly miscalculated the athletic ability of the armored force deep in Ulaanbaatar!

He turned his head viciously and asked Nezi, chief of staff, "Didn't you say yesterday that the Chinese tank unit was still in place, and part of it drove to the north to confront the Soviet Union? Why did it suddenly appear behind us?!"

How did Da Nezi know?He only knows one thing, that is, when the Tenth Division retreated, it emptied the entire Ulaanbaatar and surrounding supplies, not even a single nail was left behind.And their 2nd division even scoured all the supplies along the road from Hailar to Kerelun, and then to the West Palace!

Not to mention that the road from Ulaanbaatar to here is [-] to [-] kilometers long and the terrain is complex and changeable. Even if it leads directly to the main road, it will take them several days to come here, and the logistics supply will exhaust them to death!

How did they do it? !
