Age of Rebirth

Being a famous general is not accidental, nor is it a fluke. His courage, strategy, accurate grasp of the rapidly changing battlefield situation, and good at seizing the opportunity are all indispensable. Commander of the Ximan Blocking Corps, Major General Jing Zhanqi, commander of the No. 20 Ninth Corps' First Brigade, never thought that for five days and five nights, he would be fixed on the line from Shuangliao to Siping, passively blocking, fighting with flesh and blood The Kwantung Army, which is several times larger than itself, has more than 40 people.

Although the usual way of fighting in blockade warfare is the same, otherwise, it would not be called a cruel battle. Jing Zhanqi's consideration is not unreasonable, but it needs an opportunity to use the smallest cost to achieve the greatest effect .

Of course, in the first battle, all the troops and firepower must be brought out to give the Kwantung Army a disarm. In fact, Jing Zhanqi has ordered the brigades of the corps to fight against the Kwantung Army's first attack. Heavy equipment must be used, and it is not allowed to keep it. Continue to use five brigades to create ten or even fifteen brigades. On the front line of Shuangliao, the second brigade will soon exchange fire with the main force of the No.15 Kwantung Army At that time, in the direction of Siping, the vanguard of the Kwantung Army had already appeared in front of the soldiers.

And the aviation fleet appeared at the right time, turning a battle of blocking and breakthrough into an aerial massacre. According to Jing Zhanqi's estimation, the Kwantung Army troops eager to retreat, even under such a fierce bombing by the aviation, would risk their lives. It rained bombs and launched an attack, but for the blocking forces, the pressure was not too great.

However, during the 40-minute bombing, nearly a thousand aviation bombers and fighter jets used heavy bombs and dense bullets, repeatedly plowed and plowed in the offensive formation of the Kwantung Army soldiers, causing people to be turned on their backs, blood and flesh flying everywhere , the effect achieved is far greater than Jing Zhanqi estimated.In the face of the fierce aerial bombardment, the Kwantung Army troops were completely defeated. Although they did not reach the level of being defeated, they did not have the spirit to attack.

suffered the greatest loss.It is the No.15 Army of the Kwantung Army. Because it was the first to launch an offensive, it naturally became the object of Le Yiqin's special care. There are almost hundreds of aviation bombers and fighter jets surrounding the two divisions of the No.15 Army. The regiment launched a charge formation, throwing bombs vigorously, and fighter jets whizzed past from low altitude, pouring strings of bullets on the heads of the Kwantung Army soldiers.

To make matters worse, the No.15 Army's temporary headquarters in Gilgalang also suffered several heavy aerial bombs.Lieutenant General Kushima, the commander of the army, survived to become another senior Japanese officer who fell on Chinese soil, but a piece of shrapnel still patronized the Lieutenant General, and Lieutenant General Kushima was seriously injured.Dying, whether he can live until the sun comes out tomorrow is unknown, but he can still command the troops. The command of the No. 15 Army is naturally distributed to the three division commanders.

Each has its own plans, and the heads of the three divisions have their own secrets.Naturally, the tactical actions would not be coordinated. The two attacking divisions were bombarded with bombs, causing countless casualties. Just gathering the troops was enough to keep them busy for a while.The No. 30 Seventh Division, which was able to organize an attack and was responsible for blocking the mission, was not violently bombed by the aviation of the Independent Division, but there was overwhelming smoke and deafening noise behind it.It still made Lieutenant General Kuriyama, the head of the division, frightened.

Le Yiqin, who is commanding the fleet in the sky, doesn't know what Jing Zhanqi is thinking at the moment, but he knows the situation on the battlefield at a glance. From the heart, such bombing can't cheer up at all. What Le Yiqin is passionate about is still fighter jets The duel between them, the kind of bloody air combat, the bombing of the little devils who have no air defense capability and no air control, that is bullying them!

Looking down at the battlefield and asking the formation commanders in other directions, Le Yiqin confirmed that the bombing had achieved the desired effect. According to the usual practice, he opened the ground-air communication channel and called, "Commander Jing Zhanqi of the Ximan Blocking Corps Officer, I am the aviation commander Le Yiqin, and now, my air formation has completed the bombing mission, and I will return in 10 minutes!"

Holding the ground-to-air communicator Jing Zhanqi, he was no stranger to Le Yiqin, the famous aviation general, and quickly said: "Jing Zhanqi thanks Commander Le for providing air fire support to the Ximan Blocking Corps!"

Le Yiqin smiled and turned off the communicator. In his opinion, this kind of air support spread all over the Northeast battlefield. Relatively speaking, the Siping to Shuangliao battlefields were not the most scenes. Hear a lot.

Jing Zhanqi put down the communicator, his eyes flashed coldly, and said to Chief of Staff Wang Xujiang in a hurried tone: "Chief of Staff, immediately convey my order to all the troops. Each brigade will leave only one regiment of troops to defend the blocking position." In addition, the rest of the troops, under the cover of tank fire, immediately prepare to launch a full-scale counterattack against the Kwantung Army troops, and the specific time for launching the counterattack is waiting for the command of the headquarters!"

"What?" Wang Xujiang cried out, "Brigade Commander, please consider carefully. We only have 40 regiments in total, leaving five regiments. With ten regiments of more than [-] troops, we will attack the Kwantung region with more than [-] troops. Army troops, launch a counterattack, if you are not careful, you will be surrounded by the Kwantung Army!"

Jing Zhanqi suddenly changed color and shouted: "Execute the order, I don't have time to explain to you!"

The aircraft fleet of the aviation unit climbed to the altitude and started formation, ready to return. Bullets and bombs were no longer raining down on their heads. The soldiers of the Kwantung Army climbed up from the ground covered with the blood of their comrades and broken bodies, and looked at the sky in shock. The eyes of the teacher and aircraft group are full of lingering fear!

Jing Zhanqi put down the binoculars and shouted at Wang Xujiang: "The troops attack immediately!"

On the battlefield from Siping to Shuangliao, an astonishing scene happened. More than 5 soldiers from the independent division, under the cover of more than 300 tanks, rushed out of the trenches and faced the Kwantung Army troops who were blown dizzily on the opposite side. Launched a fierce counterattack, counterattacking more than 40 Kwantung Army troops with more than [-] troops was an extremely risky move no matter who saw it. With one careless move, the Ximan Blocking Corps fell into the anti-siege of the Kwantung Army. There is annihilation!

But Jing Zhanqi did this, so that after the war, the division pointed out that many officers criticized it a lot. The sudden counterattack of the Ximan Blocking Corps was obviously stunned. The soldiers of the Kwantung Army who came, facing the counterattack of the independent division troops, suddenly fell into chaos.

The five-way counterattack force of the Ximan Blocking Corps, like five sharp knives, ruthlessly penetrated into the messy formation of the Kwantung Army troops. The tanks kept pouring shells, and the straight-trajectory shells blasted the Kwantung Army soldiers to pieces. The submachine guns in their hands were like the wind blowing. In close combat, they exerted great power and swept away the Kwantung Army soldiers who had lost their organizational system and were in disorder, like cutting wheat.

From time to time, wounded soldiers fell down, and the field ambulance following them quickly rescued the wounded soldiers. Jing Zhanqi's counterattack received miraculous effects. When the shock was still undecided, one side had been prepared for a long time and took advantage of the chaos. The situation on the battlefield changed instantly. Almost in an instant, more than 40 Kwantung Army soldiers were beaten dizzy and retreated.

Subsequently, this retreat turned into a complete defeat. It is unbelievable that with more than 40 troops, more than [-] Kwantung Army soldiers were beaten back in embarrassment. However, Jing Zhanqi was not complacent at all. He knew very well that he It was just taking advantage of the situation, and the Kwantung Army was caught off guard by the bombing of the aviation fleet, but it was impossible to take advantage of such cheapness for a long time.

Once the commander of the Kwantung Army reacts, after gathering the troops, the more than 40 Kwantung Army soldiers can squeeze more than 5 of their own soldiers to death. Fighting and retreating quickly is the essence of this counterattack. Therefore, He personally mastered the counterattack distance and speed of each brigade, and once the battlefield situation changed, he immediately ordered the troops to retreat.

It was not only Jing Zhanqi, the acting commander of the Ximan Blocking Corps who was able to seize the opportunity, who commanded more than 40 troops from the North China Field Corps and pursued Major General Yuan Jinghao, the commander of the Kwantung Army in the Ximan area. During the bombing, he saw a fighter plane. Before that, he had been struggling with how to penetrate the depth of more than 40 Kwantung Army and send several brigades of troops to the weak Ximan blocking force.

Now, when the opportunity came, Yuan Jinghao immediately issued an order: "The second, third, fourth, and fifth brigades of the pursuit troops in the direction of Baolong Mountain, the first armored brigade, and their self-propelled artillery regiment and heavy artillery regiment immediately Break through the depths of the Kwantung Army with swift movements, join up with the Ximan Blocking Corps in Shuangliao and Siping, and accept the command of the commander of the Corps, Jing Zhanqi!"

"The order of attack is as follows, with the first armored tank brigade as the forerunner, the second brigade is responsible for the cover of the left wing, the third brigade is responsible for the cover of the right wing, the fourth brigade and the fifth brigade, breakthrough in the middle, remember, don't love to fight, don't fight with the Kanto With the ultimate goal of reaching the front line from Siping to Shuangliao, the other brigades of the Corps will launch a full-line attack to cover your actions!"

Yuan Jinghao's eyes were vicious and bold enough, but Han Guangqi, Chief of Staff of the Corps, did not have the slightest objection. He also very much agreed with the position of the commander's general penetration in the direction of No.15 Army of the Kwantung Army. There is only one reason, No.15 The army has been knocked out of a division, and its strength is relatively weak, so it is better to break through.

Lieutenant General Kushima, commander of the No.15 Kwantung Army, had really bad luck. The North China Field Corps was the first to eat up its No.30 Sixth Division. The bombing of the air force focused on No.15 Now, a tank brigade and four mechanized infantry brigades of the North China Field Corps are attacking in the direction of the [-]th Army. If Commander Jiudao wakes up at this moment, he may be pissed to death, or Scared to death!
