The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

This is just a common scene in the entire battlefield. Just like Lieutenant General Uemura Seitaro realized himself, the overall situation has collapsed, leaving him alone and fighting with a division. In fact, he cannot change the world, but he is finally With no shame in my heart, I have fought to the last moment, and I will definitely be able to go to the altar to receive worship after death---if the Great Japanese Empire is still there at that time... .

On the entire Liaohe defense line, on the winding plain positions, thousands of cannons formed hundreds of large and small positions, one third of which was the main attack, one third was follow-up strikes, and one third was responsible for counter-battering and replenishment. The shooting was carried out in an orderly manner under the command of the unified battlefield data link.

Seitaro Uemura and all the upper echelons of the Japanese army couldn't understand how the Chinese artillery could achieve such a perverted strike capability. Opening fire meant exposure and being quickly destroyed. There is no precedent for such a situation in the history of warfare!

The Japanese army advocates offense, which is a style that has been established since its establishment.In the drills, almost all of them revolve around "offensive", especially in field battles, which is characterized by their constant control of the initiative, but after this series of vicious battles, they are forced to be on the defensive side. Law said.

The Kwantung Army is generally not familiar with field defense. Although the level of soil work is good, the enemy's artillery and aircraft seem to have eyes. ah!

In fact, it is not difficult to understand that the tactical equipment of the Japanese army almost stayed at the time of the First World War two or three decades ago, and they still thought about dealing with the backward Chinese armed forces that could not even get enough rifles, so every time they fought, they could not care They arranged the cannons in advance, aimed at the opponent's position that had been built for many days and bombed indiscriminately, and then trotted and attacked under the cover of planes and tanks.Destroy all the way, save trouble, direct and effective!

Now it's the other way around!The Japanese army worked hard to build defensive fortifications between the mountains and fields. After the battle started and received an overwhelming blow, the opponent's helicopters, dive attack aircraft, and ultra-long-range artillery first pulled out the firepower fortresses at fixed points.Then there is the armored group charge!

The Japanese army was tough from top to bottom. The only thing their weapons could deal with was the exposed infantry, but the guys on the opposite side didn't know where so many steel monsters came from. They were armored troops all the way. In the lead, the infantry are still riding in trucks and infantry fighting vehicles, but they are only the role of mopping up.The intention to kill a large number of people has become an extravagant hope!

One ebbs and another, just seeing the casualties on one's side, but the other side is safe and sound, it's strange not to hit the morale of the army!

This is a common phenomenon, and it is not limited to one end. Uemura Seitaro asked himself that the art of war is not bad.The command is also appropriate, but the strategy, tactics and comprehensive weapons and equipment are out of date.If you fail, you can only sigh in vain!

In just half an hour, all the vital forces of the 24th Artillery Wing were pulled out by the opponent's long-range cannons, followed by a group of attack planes coming close to the treetops, washing the ground with machine guns and rockets, and killing the soldiers on the [-]th. They suffered heavy casualties.Only then did Shi Shiran leave.

On the frontal battlefield, a group of heavily armored tanks swept across the plains recklessly. After smashing the defense of the 24th Brigade, they did not rush to attack the county seat, but turned around and cut horizontally.Cut off the rear of the Japanese army, and then cooperate with the intruding infantry vehicles to divide and encircle with the soldiers, eat them piece by piece, and clean them up!

Under the pressure of tanks, infantry combat vehicles provide intensive fire support, tracked, wheeled mortars, flamethrowers, etc. go into battle together to clean up the tunnel defense line from a long distance, and the last infantry wear body armor one by one Wearing a bulletproof helmet, every time he went to a trench, he smashed a bunch of grenades into it first, and after the explosion, he used assault rifles and light machine guns to shoot along the trench.

Those stronghold holes that are similar to mouse holes are thrown in individual cloud bombs and tear gas bombs, or directly charged with flamethrowers. In short, the Japanese soldiers hiding inside can't stand it and rush out. What greets them is a storm Normal bullets!

In just half a day, all the Japanese troops on the battlefield in central and northern Liaoning were wiped out!

After Uemura Seitaro issued the decisive battle order, he returned to the map table in a safe and sound manner, and sat down with a straight posture. While listening to the report of the battle situation from the person next to him, he wrote vigorously on the white paper.When the news came that the 24th Brigade was confirmed to have been killed, he basically completed the text under his hand. He picked up a thick stack of high-quality white paper made in China, and unexpectedly showed a calm smile on his face. The head whispered: "Sao Daisinai! It turns out that the Chinese army used such tactics!"

On that stack of papers was a summary of the tactics of the Chinese army that he analyzed after carefully collecting various materials since the start of the war. Now, with the actual contest of the last force under his command and the whole process that he witnessed with his own eyes, he finally figured it out. everything.

According to his name, this tactic should be called "deep combat".Its core purpose is to use the combination of absolutely powerful armor power, air power and self-propelled artillery power to form an iron fist, aim at the nodes of the enemy's seemingly strongest defense line, and strike quickly and fiercely with a resolute and brave posture. past!After blasting a gap, take advantage of the rapidity of the armored soldiers to rush for dozens of kilometers or more, cut off the link between the front and rear defense lines, and then quickly spread out to the two wings, cooperate with the following mechanized infantry to divide and outflank, and quickly kill the hostile enemies who have lost their command. strength.

This kind of tactic is not only effective in large-scale battles with more troops. In fact, the Chinese Corps also used similar methods when fighting on the Great Wall and Mountain Defense Line in the early days, but each of their forces was smaller, and some even had only one battalion. The distance is only three to five kilometers, but without exception, this is the case.That situation spread like mercury pouring down the ground, making it impossible to guard against --- you can't determine the focus of their attack, because every tip may be the center!

This tactic is very effective!But not everyone can perform perfectly.The key point is whether the fists that break through the gap are powerful enough. As long as they can't open it, nothing will be mentioned.

But obviously, the Chinese are very well prepared for this!Whether it was the reconnaissance before the war, the air attack at the beginning and the bombardment of long-range artillery fire, they were all extremely violent and effective. As the main attacker, the tank and the super engineering vehicle that opened the way were almost unstoppable!The attack aircraft and counter-fire that were responsible for the escort were particularly timely and powerful, and the air-ground coordination was perfect.Like a sophisticated machine, breathtaking

"It's not wrong to lose to such an opponent! The whole empire really underestimated the heroes of the world! We have to pay the price for it!"

Uemura Seitaro sighed quietly, his anger towards the secret service flashed past, and then he was relieved.At this time, why would he want to resent others?In fact, it is more than just an intelligence agency.In the entire army, there are probably only a few people like Ishihara Waner who are willing to open their eyes to face up to the achievements of China's new military revolution?The Army, which overemphasizes the supremacy of spirit, despises the importance of weapons and equipment, and uses guns to beat steel to fool the soldiers at the bottom. It is no wonder that there are no problems...

However, Lieutenant General Uemura did not describe these things in it. The whole article analyzed and described the military tactics of the Chinese army face to face in detail, and only talked about countermeasures in general.How to obtain an advantage in equipment has become a big problem, and the change in strategic thinking is beyond his control alone, so there is not much talk about it.

After reviewing it to see if there were any mistakes or omissions, the head of the division carefully put the thick text into a cowhide bag, fastened the buckle and handed it to his adjutant, and solemnly confessed: "This is a collection of all my comprehension. It is the essence of the base camp's decision-making on China's war. It has a vital role, please be sure to protect it strictly. Send it directly to the Ministry of War! Treat it as... the last request of an imperial veteran! I hope it can arouse the attention of all generals Pay attention to!"

The adjutant was so excited that he almost burst into tears. After receiving it with both hands, he bowed deeply: "Hey! Even if I sacrifice my life, I must guarantee that the hard work and achievements of the lieutenant general will not be lost!"

He saluted decisively and left in a hurry under the escort of a small team of elite soldiers.The head of the Uemura division tidied up his military uniform, put his hat on straightly, drew his sword and placed it horizontally in front of him.Wipe it repeatedly with a clean white handkerchief, and fine water vapor will quickly condense on the sharp and reflective clear blade --- this is a treasured sword that works well!

Holding the treasured sword in both hands, he sang a strange tune in his throat. It sounded like a ghost was shivering from the cold wind blowing in through the crack of the door, and someone who didn't know how to do it heard it nearby.I guess I can't help but punch it in the past --- what the hell is this shit!Like their Noh plays, no one really appreciates them.

Outside, the assault corps that cleared the battlefield began to press forward slowly. The dilapidated county town was blown up to pieces by the Air Force in advance, and those who could escape basically ran away. The crazy Japanese army threatened the civilians with bloody killings and went to help. The construction of fortifications, including Chinese and Japanese, does not need to be so clearly distinguished at this time.

Some lazy Man Yi was very upset about this, and the weeping and shameless wanted to fool around, but instead of the usual sticks and fists, there were cold sabers and hot bullets. They didn't understand until they died, what's the matter? The master of the East has become so cruel, we are also survivors of the Qing Dynasty after all, and we are in the same group as you!Why did he make such a cruel move....

The sound of crying father and mother was drowned out by more and more dense explosions. It was the final blow from the heavy artillery positions on the left bank of the Liaohe River. With precise artillery skills, the Japanese defenses were stripped layer by layer from the periphery. The armored troops They came over calmly and calmly, leaving only a passage leading to Fengtian.It is the prestigious Wei San Que Yi!Whether to escape or not, you little devils can figure it out!

The No.12 Division is worthy of being the elite unit of the Japanese army. It has not collapsed even at the point where it is at the end of its rope!Less than 5000% of the soldiers who returned from the defeat in the outer positions all joined the defense of the county seat. The total number was less than [-], crowded among the broken buildings, covered with grenades and explosives, and their bloodshot eyes were shining with determination!

The attacking army did not disappoint them, but it is a pity that the Japanese army still did not understand how cruel the opponent's real intentions were.

The attacking vanguard reached the vicinity of the county seat, and after blasting the dilapidated city wall into a slope, he was not in a hurry to drive in, but occupied a favorable position, condescendingly aimed high-speed tank guns at the still standing buildings and called them one by one, methodically, with one shot One cannon bombing until it completely collapsed!

Nearby, the uncontrollable Japanese soldiers rushed out screaming, trying to jump on the tank and explode themselves. As a result, they were killed by snipers before taking two steps, or the machine guns were smashed into pieces. Detonating the explosives just killed them. He blew himself up to slag.

Some small-caliber guns that were barely usable were fixed among the construction debris, aimed at sneak attacks, and the effect was very bad, not only could not penetrate the tank armor.However, it was blown to pieces by the retaliatory shells on the spot!

At night, thousands of Japanese soldiers came out of hiding like mice, trying to take advantage of the darkness to surprise those exposed armored monsters, but unexpectedly, this fell into the opponent's arms!

Next to each tank, there are infantry vehicles accompanying them.The sloping body reveals the shooting holes, and there are elite soldiers with night vision equipment holding sniper rifles in full swing!

The key killer is the air, and the dense light rain is not enough to affect the work of the armed helicopters in the air, so these aerial hunters use infrared scanning devices to continuously lock on the bright targets on the ground, and from time to time a string of shells go down and blow up corpses everywhere !

The long night passed slowly between the sneak attacks and hunts of the two sides, and the sound of guns and guns resounded throughout the city.When dawn came, almost all the places where you could plug in, you could see the broken corpses of Japanese soldiers.Those small bodies, each of which is dying, maintain various postures of impact, but it shows a result-the era of the Japanese army's rampant is doomed to pass!

Until then, the rested army came up from behind calmly. The infantry chariots and tanks crushed the collapsed houses and penetrated the whole city along the street. Among the collapsed ruins, they found Lieutenant General Uemura who committed seppuku. Finally, he got a decent coffin and put it in.

Liaozhong County fell.There is hardly a single intact house in the city, and almost all of the 12th Division were killed in battle.The remnant soldiers did not flee from the gap, suicides committed suicide, and those who died in battle, the degree of desperation is embarrassing.

On the other front, the Xinglong store, which represented the gate of Fengtian, was captured.In the middle of the road, a gap was opened across the Xiaobeihe battlefield across the Hunhe River, and an army of heavily armed troops pointed directly at Liaoyang. At that time, Fengtian would be completely separated, and the Japanese troops on the front line of Yingkou and Gaiping would be cut and surrounded.You can eat whatever you want!

At this point, the main force of the Kwantung Army has been completely divided into four parts, each of which has a strength of about 30 troops. Only Fengtian has about [-] tired soldiers, but it has no way to retreat, and it has to take care of millions of Japanese troops. The civilians and the same number of Chinese people are already in a state of panic and panic all day long!

The expected direct attack on Huanglong still did not happen. The various attacking corps calmly blocked all key points, captured Sifangtai and Liaoyang, deployed defenses on the spot, resisted the counterattack, and then coordinated with the rest of the forces to launch a targeted killing battle!

On the southern front, the Japanese troops stationed in Yingkou, Gaiping, and Haicheng were surrounded on three sides. 127 marines squeezed from the side and rear, and [-] elite soldiers crossed the Liaohe River to attack Yingkou. After entering Liaodong Bay, they bombed day and night with ferocious artillery fire, which was equivalent to the strike density of an army. Even if it was only a "small caliber" of [-]mm, it still bombed the Japanese army here, and the beachhead defense line was completely destroyed. Defeated, powerless to defend!

Finally it's the Chinese navy's turn to bully the Japanese army!This thing is relatively new, but also more enjoyable!

A group of young captains of the North Sea Fleet scrambled for this opportunity. There was a lot of fuss in the lottery and guessing martial arts competition. Finally, the commander Xie Gangzhe reprimanded them and calmed down a bit. However, they still took care of their emotions and let the winner get the upper hand. A light ship The patrol plus six destroyers, mixed with some gunboats from the Bohai Patrol Detachment, formed a main attack group of more than 20 ships, and bombed indiscriminately along the coast of Liaodong Bay from east to west!

The coastal defense artillery deployed by the Japanese army on the coastline had been blown to pieces long ago, and now they have no power to fight back just waiting to be beaten, and they have to pick up and release those landing craft to rush up at any time, so the long beach has become a twist in their refueling tactics. Butchery!

Near the estuary of the Liaohe River are reed marshes and mudflats that are several kilometers deep and hundreds of kilometers wide. On the surface, they are not suitable for armored landings. It seems that it is difficult for infantry to rush up. , Yu Baoguo ordered to throw incendiary bombs many times in a row, and a fire almost wiped out the dry reeds!

The first batch of people deployed by the Japanese army were burned to death and most of them were choked to death. The billowing smoke lingered for more than ten days, and the planes over Yingkou could not see the terrain clearly. Thanks to the two spring rains, the emergency was rescued. Afterwards, the nearby sea surface In the dark, the Japanese army drove in to build temporary fortifications again, and they had to be completely exposed to the day and night attacks of the Chinese Air Force, and the suffering was unspeakable.

Now that the navy is here, the defense line that was just finished was blown down again, and the landing craft were eager to try within the field of vision, causing the Japanese army to stare at them day and night with wide-eyed eyes. Those in the position were killed and wounded by the bombing, followed by another group, who were bombed again...

On such a day, I don’t know when it will be the end. The Japanese army suffered heavy casualties until they were isolated and surrounded, and they were sure that there was nothing to hope for.

Under the restraint of the naval detachment, the Yingkou Japanese army devoted more than half of their energy to guarding the beachhead. As a result, the main attack force who crossed the Liaohe River took advantage of the loopholes and rushed to the bottom of the city to divide and encircle. The flesh and blood of more than 1 Japanese troops were crushed with the rolling iron stream, and then the marines rushed up, and the soldiers joined together to form a three-sided encirclement situation!

Seeing that the three main positions of the Japanese army that formed horns were about to be gnawed off, unexpectedly, the Kwantung Army Command suddenly issued an order to let them abandon their positions immediately and retreat into Gaiping and Haicheng with all their strength, and build up with Xiuyan in the rear. The new inverted triangle defense array!

What's the matter? (To be continued..)
