Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

The Japanese Army's Desperate Counterattack

Because Li Guosheng was going to sit in Jiamusi to preside over the overall situation of the Heilongjiang battlefield, the command of the Tonghua battlefield fell into the hands of Bai Chongxi, whom Li Guosheng had high hopes for. -"

With Bai Chongxi's prestige in the civil society and the strict orders of the commander-in-chief Li Guosheng, Zhang Yusheng and Luo Zhang certainly did not have the slightest opinion.

Unreservedly hand over the battlefield command to Bai Chongxi to assist Bai Chongxi to end the Tonghua War as soon as possible

Just when Bai Chongxi had just boarded a military plane and entered Tonghua County, and began to understand the latest situation of the Tonghua war situation.A telegram from the General Command of the Kwantung Army was also sent to Lieutenant General Ningji Okamura, the supreme commander of the Japanese Army in Tonghua. [

"Your Excellency, General, we are saved... The reinforcements of the entire two aviation divisions are enough to blow up a breakthrough in the squadron's defense line, cover us to break through, and return to North Korea...¨" After reading the telegram, he stood on the hill The adjutant next to Lieutenant General Cun Ning replied almost coherently because of his excitement.

Compared with the excitement of the adjutant, the calm Okamura Ningji seemed much calmer.After thinking for a while, he said to the adjutant in front of him in a bad tone: "The two army aviation divisions seem to be many, but the performance of the fighter jets between China and Japan is huge. It is a blessing in misfortune that the division can persist for three days under the siege of the Chinese Air Force..."

"It's only been three days... Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, are you being too alarmist... ¨ The two aviation divisions have a total of 250 fighters of various types. No matter how good the performance of the Chinese Air Force fighters is, they will not It may eat up more than [-] fighter planes of the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force in just three days..." the adjutant asked back with an incredulous expression.

Deputy Chief Ning Okamura sighed, shook his head, and said: "There is nothing impossible, the fighter planes equipped by our Imperial Japanese Army Aviation Corps are not at the same level as the fighter planes equipped by the Chinese Air Force. If there is no certain percentage advantage, in front of the Chinese Air Force, the fighter planes we equip will only have the fate of being slaughtered. Persisting for three days is already my best guess...¨”

The adjutant, who was still smiling just now, suddenly became heavy because of Okamura Neiji's series of blows.After a short period of contemplation, he asked Okamura Ningji with a worried face: "Your Excellency, the two aviation divisions supporting us in that country are not useless. The tens of thousands of imperial soldiers under our command will continue to be trapped in the Tonghua, can't advance or retreat...¨"

"No...¨" Hearing this, Lieutenant General Neiji Okamura responded decisively.

Then, facing the adjutant in front of him, he said decisively: "Although the two aviation divisions are not the opponents of the Chinese Air Force. However, if the two aviation divisions provide fire support to our army at all costs. Complete e-power is in China's national defense. On the qf line of defense, blast us a gap and cover us to break through...¨”

Having said that, Lieutenant General Ningji Okamura unknowingly exuded a fierce murderous aura all over his body.He continued to speak to the adjutant: "The army aviation equipment is gone, the empire can continue to produce, and even research newer air force equipment. However, if the excellent army soldiers are gone, at least in a few years, the imperial army will Because of this, they were devastated. Therefore, exchanging two aviation divisions for tens of thousands of elite Imperial Army...¨"

After finishing speaking, before the adjutant could react from this astonishing decision, Lieutenant General Neiji Okamura once again ordered: "Mr. Inibe, whether the [-] Imperial Army elite can break out of the siege and return to North Korea smoothly depends on the success or failure." This is a move. Now I order: Immediately call all the commanders above the wing of the whole army, and come here for a meeting in half an hour."

"In addition, send a telegram to the General Headquarters of the Kwantung Army: The two aviation divisions are immediately ready to take off for combat. Once the order is received, quickly take off to Tonghua and cover the army's breakout at all costs..."

"Your Excellency Hari General..."

Tonghua County National Defense Force Headquarters, Deputy Chief of Staff Bai Chongxi, Commander of the Second Division of the National Defense Force Zhang Yusheng, and Commander of the Fourth Division of the National Defense Force Luo Zhang, three people were surrounding the sand table to discuss the final battle of annihilation against the Japanese army in Tonghua.

But at this moment, a faint roar suddenly came from the southeast of the county seat to the sky.

Zhang Yusheng and Luo Zhang, who often fight with the Air Force, subconsciously think of the Air Force fleet.However, this kind of thought just appeared in the minds of the two of them, and an expression full of shock and astonishment appeared on the faces of the two of them.

"It's a fleet, a large-scale air force fleet... Deputy Chief of Staff, I don't know if you have requested air support from the headquarters, otherwise, how could there be such a large-scale fleet in the southeast direction... ¨Listen to the voice, this large-scale fleet has at least one hundred The above-mentioned various types of fighters are enough to reach the number of an air force division of our National Defense Forces..." Zhang Yusheng frowned, and asked Deputy Chief of Staff Bai Chongxi in front of him.

Bai Chongxi shook his head subconsciously, and replied: "Mr. Zhang is joking. The campaign plan has not been discussed yet. How could I ask the headquarters for air support in advance... Could it be that the Second Division of the Air Force assigned to us by the headquarters is conducting the battle?" Routine cruise reconnaissance."

As soon as the words fell, Luo Zhang, who was standing on the other side of Bai Chongxi, shook his head firmly, and denied: "Deputy Chief of Staff, this idea is absolutely possible... The headquarters is only assigned to lose to the five flying brigades of our Second Air Division. That is All the planes are flying for combat, and they can't make such a deafening roar...¨"

After finishing speaking, Luo Zhang ignored Bai Chongxi standing in front of him, picked up a telescope, and rushed out of the building where the headquarters was located.Then, look in the direction of the roar of the plane

I don’t know if I don’t look at it, but I’m startled when I see it.Under the watchful eyes of Bai Chongxi, the deputy chief of staff who walked out of the command room, beads of sweat had unconsciously flowed from Luo Zhang's already pale face. [

A bad premonition quickly surfaced in Bai Chongxi's mind.While quickly rushing to the front yard of the headquarters, he raised the binoculars to observe the specific situation.While facing Luo Zhang, who was constantly sweating because of nervousness, he asked loudly: "Mr. Luo, have you seen clearly, where did the fleet come from, how many planes are there in total, and where is the target..."

When asked by Deputy Chief of Staff Bai Chongxi, Luo Zhang finally came to his senses with a look of astonishment.Facing Bai Chongxi and Zhang Yusheng beside him, he replied anxiously: "It's the plane of the little devil, it must be the plane of the little devil.

The entire two aviation divisions must be to rescue the tens of thousands of Japanese troops who were besieged by us in Tonghua..."

At this moment, the large-scale aircraft fleet formed by the two aviation divisions of the Japanese army appeared in the line of sight of Bai Chongxi and Zhang Yusheng without obstruction.With the help of the telescope, the plaster flag painted on the plane by the little devil was clearly displayed in front of the two of them, telling them the origin of this large-scale fleet.

"Sure enough, it is the Japanese fighter group... But, as far as I know, the army aviation unit under the Kwantung Army has been completely lost under the repeated strikes of the Air Force of the National Defense Army. Where did the Kwantung Army suddenly change so many planes? We Why don't you know any news? "Mr. Zhang Yusheng said solemnly, frowning tightly and talking to himself.

Bai Chongxi, the deputy chief of staff who was also frowning tightly, let out a long sigh directly from his mouth after a short period of thought.Responding to the two subordinates: "As I expected, we were all put together by Lieutenant General Neiji Okamura, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Army in Tonghua."

"In the past two days, why the Japanese army has become like a tortoise, hiding in the tunnel fortifications and dense forests without showing any traces. The reason is to wait for air support and for the Japanese government to send them planes from the mainland to take them from the mainland. Tonghua went out to rescue, and used planes to blow up a gap in our army's defense line...¨"

Zhang Yusheng and Luo Zhang's expressions changed upon hearing this.For a week, the reason why I was able to encircle the [-] Japanese army with less than [-] National Defense Forces was nothing more than sharp artillery fire and absolute air supremacy.

But now, the two army aviation divisions of the Japanese army came in an unstoppable situation, wanting to seize the air supremacy of the entire battlefield.With the superior artillery fire in his hands, he will undoubtedly be hit by the opponent's air force, or he will be a turtle from now on, letting the Japanese artillery fire continue to pour steel cannons on his own blocking positions.

One ebbs and another, when the force is far lower than that of the Japanese.It is certain that as long as the tens of thousands of Japanese troops besieged in Tonghua concentrate their superior forces, they will surely open one or even several breakthroughs in their own blocking positions that have lost air supremacy and artillery cover around them, break through the encirclement, and return to North Korea...¨

For a moment, the expressions on the faces of the two of them were no longer as simple as pale, but complex expressions of fear and worry completely intertwined.When the mighty fleet of the Japanese army finally flew over everyone's heads like a black cloud.The two people who were already at a loss turned their attention to Bai Chongxi at the same time.I hope that the newly appointed deputy chief of staff can find a way to save the situation that may be overturned at any time.

Bai Chongxi did not disappoint the two of them. After a short period of shock, his pale face had unconsciously regained his composure.First of all, he gave an order to Gao Zhihang, the commander of the Second Air Division who came after hearing the news: "Master Gao, compared with the Japanese aircraft, the fighters we equip have an absolute advantage in every aspect. Now I order You, take off all the fighter planes immediately, use all the bombers as fighter jets, try to kill the Japanese air force as much as possible, and reduce the huge losses that may be caused by the Japanese air strikes by the ground forces... How about it, are you sure¨”

For more than half a month, Major General Gao Zhihang, who had a good understanding of the performance of the various fighter-bombers equipped by the Japanese Army Aviation and Hainan Airlines, replied confidently: "Please rest assured, the Deputy Chief of Staff. Compared with the little devil's aircraft, we All the bombers are stronger than their fighters. All the commanders and fighters of the Second Air Division swore to the death to defend Tonghua’s air supremacy and cover the infantry in combat¨”

Seeing Gao Zhihang leaving quickly, Bai Chongxi ordered to Zhang Yusheng: "Mr. Zhang, the battle on the front line can only be entrusted to you temporarily... order all the troops participating in the battle to prepare for air defense quickly. In addition, call these troops. The army is destroyed, otherwise, the little devils must not be allowed to break through our defense line. In addition, a guard battalion I brought from the headquarters will be handed over to you to command from now on.

Zhang Yusheng assured with a murderous face: "Please rest assured, the deputy chief of staff, people are in the position...¨"

After the order was issued, Bai Chongxi finally shifted his eyes to Luo Zhang, and continued to order: "Mr. Luo, from the map, the air force from the Dalian HNA Base can arrive at Tonghua in four or ten minutes at the latest. Send an email to the navy immediately." Telegram, requesting the navy to immediately deploy the largest fighter jets to reinforce our Tonghua battlefield, hurry up...¨"''The last one is for the artillery, and the artillery group is prohibited from exposing targets before the air force regains air power.It must be clear that in the final battle of encirclement and annihilation, artillery will play a very important role, and there will be no room for loss...¨”

"It's the deputy chief of staff..."

After reorganization, the Tenth Regiment of the Fourth Division of the National Defense Forces, as the main regiment with the most powerful combat effectiveness under Luo Zhang's command, at this moment, it was no surprise that it served as the most important line of defense surrounding the Japanese army.It can be said that as long as the Japanese army breaks through the defense line where the Tenth Regiment is located, it will open the life channel to retreat to North Korea.

Therefore, under the cover of night, the Japanese army, which had been planning for this moment for a long time, directly gathered one of the most elite infantry brigades in the entire army secretly into the attack trench directly in front of the tenth regiment a few hours ago.Not only that, the more than a hundred artillery pieces of various calibers equipped by the two divisions also took off their coats, and pointed the muzzles of the black holes at the positions of the ten regiments.Of course, the two aviation divisions of the Japanese army rushing to the battlefield mightily, and their final bombing target was also the position of the ten regiments.

The Japanese army knew the importance of the position of the Tenth Regiment. As the head of the division, Colonel Shen Kaiyun also knew...

As the head of the Tenth Regiment of the National Defense Forces, although Shen Kaiyun has the capital to be proud, he did not get carried away by it.Cautiously, without the Japanese army attacking, he still built a simple bk trench@like a rr net in just q days, a three-dimensional blocking position with a large number of deep bunkers.

Shen Kaiyun, the head of the Tenth Regiment, did not expect that it was because of his caution that he escaped the death attack that the Japanese army was about to launch, and saved the entire Tonghua battle and saved the commander of the Tenth Regiment of the National Defense Forces. Thousands of soldiers...[

On the Tenth Regiment's position, when the head of the regiment, Shen Kaiyun, heard the news that the Japanese Air Force was attacking aggressively, the first thing he showed was that he couldn't believe it.However, when the black Japanese army fleet actually flew over the position, Captain Shen Kaiyun finally reacted from the shock.Then, almost roaring, he yelled at his subordinates scattered throughout the position.

"The bastard is a little devil plane, really a little devil plane, brothers, take cover immediately, pay attention to air defense... order the troops, all give me cover, cover¨"

Shen Kaiyun ordered to spread along the trenches quickly throughout the gaps in the position, and the officers and soldiers of the National Defense Forces scattered throughout the position have begun to hide in an orderly manner.However, after all, orders need to be conveyed by people. Even if the speed is fast, it cannot be faster than the speed of an airplane throwing bombs.

Under the anxious waiting of the group leader Shen Kaiyun, a rapid and sharp whistling sound suddenly reached his ears.Immediately afterwards, three little devil bombers roared overhead.Of course, while the bomber roared past, dozens of high-explosive aerial bombs weighing one hundred kilograms were rapidly falling towards the position at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Hidden, hide quickly...¨" the head of the regiment, Shen Kaiyun, yelled with all his strength, but under the cover of the roar of the explosion, the officers and soldiers of the National Defense Forces who were still scattered on the ground a few hundred meters away, because they had not received order, still lying on the ground unmoved¨

Under the dumbfounded gaze of Commander Shen Kaiyun, more than a dozen heavy bombs all fell on the position and exploded.

With a painful face, Shen Kaiyun could even clearly see that a bomb exploded, and more than a dozen officers and soldiers scattered around the point, like a kite with a broken string, were quickly thrown away by the huge air wave generated by the bomb explosion. to the sky.Then, under the tearing of several blast fragments and shock waves, a corpse was directly turned into pieces...

"Little devil, I am at odds with you..." Head Shen Kaiyun, who had red eyes and was directly blown to the ground by the air wave, clenched his fists and swore secretly.

And at this moment, the second and even the third round of bombing by the Japanese Army Air Corps had followed and hit the ground with a whistling sound.With the sound of explosions, a stream of thick smoke mixed with a large number of stumps and broken arms quickly rose from the ground, and finally, huge mushroom clouds formed at a height of tens of meters.In a blink of an eye, the blocking position of the ten regiments, which was still clearly visible just now, was covered by all kinds of thick smoke and dust blown away, making it impossible to see.

Colonel Shen Kaiyun, who was lying in the trench, was heartbroken when he heard the endless explosions in his ears.After all, every sound of an explosion may take the lives of several or even dozens of subordinates.

And just when Shen Kaiyun prayed to the heavens for the Japanese bombing to end soon.The little devil artillery unit, who had been shrunk for several days on the battlefield, also joined the shelling of the dog who was in the water like a pack of wolves smelling blood.

More than one hundred artillery pieces of various calibers poured artillery on their positions at a rate of fire of about one thousand rounds per minute.

"The artillery is the artillery of the little devil... Our artillery unit, why don't we fight back immediately, don't we just watch our entire army be wiped out by the fire of the little devil...¨" Captain Shen Kaiyun felt the ground shaking constantly , once again roared loudly, staring at a pair of red eyes.

However, at this moment, his roar and roar did not get any response from anyone.

The little devil's air strikes and artillery strikes, like cannons and bombs, are still going on.
