New Warlords 1909

The battalion is directly under the battalion headquarters (1 command vehicle), command company (including communication platoon, reconnaissance platoon, tank platoon with 5 light tanks, engineer platoon).Each tank company has a company headquarters (2 tanks), 4 tank platoons (5 tanks per platoon), and a full company of 22 tanks.The battalion has 72 tanks. The total number of tanks in the 2nd Battalion Tank Regiment is 152.

3团制坦克团的团、营直属部队及第3坦克营（第7、8轻装连，第9中装连）的编制于2营制坦克团相同。其所属的1、2坦克营每个营编有2个勇士三型、勇士四型坦克混编轻装甲坦克连，一个中装甲坦克连。混编轻装甲坦克连编有连部（四型坦克2辆），4个坦克排，第1排三型坦克5辆，第2至4排四型坦克各5辆，全连合计三型坦克5辆、四型坦克17辆。混编中装坦克连编有连部（四型坦克2辆），编有3个坦克排，第1排三型坦克5辆，第2、3坦克排三型坦克4辆，全连三型坦克5辆，四型坦克10辆。混编坦克营拥有65辆坦克。3营制坦克团一共拥有207辆坦克。

With the comprehensive progress of science and technology, industry and material technology, etc., especially Hua Fei's most concerned about the development of army weapons is tanks, so the development and progress of tanks can be described as changing with each passing day.Although the performance indicators of the original Warrior [-] and [-] were considered advanced, the manufacturing process, especially the backward industrial technology, resulted in extremely poor engine stability, and even the stability and safety of the tank had problems.

Thanks to the efforts of scientific and technical personnel, coupled with the rapid improvement of the production technology of the workers, and the great help of the Germans in key areas, the new Warrior III and Warrior IV have been finalized and put into production one after another.The light-duty classes of Warrior III and Warrior II are relatively similar in terms of performance data, but whether it is stability, speed, or even combat effectiveness and survivability on the battlefield, they have all been greatly improved.The Warrior IV is a redesigned medium-sized tank, limited to technical and practical needs.Hua Fei gave up the fast equipment of heavy tanks and switched to medium tanks. According to the results of the exercise, the actual combat effect is very good.

The booming tank industry has allowed them to develop exclusive command tanks, and battle tanks with both combat effectiveness and air defense capabilities. Used as a temporary headquarters.

装甲师除有坦克团外，还编有4个摩步团，1个团编有3个营（装甲步兵或摩托化步兵）：摩托化步兵营325人，有自动步枪216支、冲锋枪36支、重机枪12挺、50毫米迫击炮4门、60毫米迫击炮6门、反坦克炮3门、汽车60辆；装甲步兵营与摩托化步兵营编制上没有太大的差别，只是削减了汽车的配备数量，增加了装甲步兵战车30辆。团直属有步兵炮连，有75毫米步兵炮6门，全团1080人。

In addition, the divisional artillery regiment has 2 light artillery battalions equipped with 105 6mm howitzers, 1 heavy artillery battalion, 105 4mm cannons, 150 8mm howitzers, and 1 air defense battalion.The regiment is directly under the observation company.

The reconnaissance battalion of the armored division consists of one armored company, three search companies, and one heavy weapons company providing fire support.Plus 3 motorcycle battalion, 1 anti-tank battalion.An engineering battalion and a communications battalion together form all the elements of the Wehrmacht's most elite armored division.

Looking at the comparison, the construction of this armored force of the Wehrmacht is not inferior to that of the future German army in terms of air defense force, number of vehicles, and light weapons equipment.This is mainly to consider local operations, the air force is strong, and there is no need to worry about air supremacy, so the investment in air defense forces is limited.In addition, the domestic road construction network is far less developed than in Europe later.There are factors that vary from good to bad, and are more geographically restrictive. Therefore, in terms of mobility, Huafei has more considered the idea of ​​using railways for transportation.

The above weapons are equipped, in today's world, almost no country's army can compare.And for the First Army, Second Army, and Third Army, they have not only one armored division mentioned above, but three armored divisions.Just from the ratio of weapons and firepower and the required money investment, you can understand how much effort and money Hua Fei has spent on the construction of this ace force.

However, Hua Fei's ace sharp knife unit built with a lot of money did not disappoint him. Although these three armies are all included in the Central Military Region, their garrison has always been near Beijing. In addition to updating a batch of weapons and increasing a lot of supplies , without any transfer at all.

After receiving the order to attack, the entire ace unit, three armies and nine armored divisions instantly turned into a raging torrent, rushing toward the northeast in three directions like sharp knives, followed closely behind them, armed to the teeth, and their morale was like a rainbow 30 troops.

The most elite first army was in charge of attacking Shanhaiguan, the second army launched an attack from the direction of Pingquan Yangshuling, and the third army was transferred to Chifeng before the general offensive, attacking Ningcheng from the direction of Mongolia, and the direction of Jianping.Among them, the Second Army was divided into two groups after attacking Xiasonglingzi, and an armored division went north to Jianping to assist the Second Army in attacking Chaoyang.The other two divisions went south to attack Jianchang, and would join forces with the First Army under the city of Huludao to attack Huludao.

As the main force of the attack, the First Army is responsible for the direction of Shanhaiguan, and it is also the area where the Japanese army has the strongest garrison force. In Suizhong and Xingcheng after Shanhaiguan alone, there are about ten divisions with more than 15 troops. The elite army has 10 people. (A division of the Japanese army has about 5000 people, which is different from the National Defense Forces.)

Almost two-thirds of the 60 Japanese troops were deployed outside the pass.On the front line of Mongolia, the Shanhaiguan area is the top priority of military defense.Unlike the central line and the northern line of Mongolia, which were blocked by North Korean and puppet troops as cannon fodder, the Shanhaiguan area was garrisoned by a mixture of Japanese and Korean puppet troops, and the number of Japanese troops was even higher than that of the Korean puppet army. The strategic position in the command center of the headquarters.

The National Defense Forces concentrated 40 troops to attack the Northeast, of which nearly 20 troops were gathered in the Shanhaiguan direction, and in the follow-up troop increase plan, the Shanhaiguan direction is also the main route for follow-up troops to enter the Northeast.Not only has the First Army, which is known for being invincible and invincible, as the vanguard, but it has also sent the Fourth Army, which is no less famous than the First Army in the National Defense Army and is known as the Death Division. In addition, the Fifth Army, whose predecessor was the Jiangxi Army, entered Russia and participated in the Russian Civil War after several major reorganizations. The Seventh Army together formed the first attack echelon of the Battle of Shanhaiguan.And with the Sixteenth Army (formerly Fengjun) and the Nineteenth Army (formerly Xingui Army) as backup forces, they formed a powerful armed force for the entire Shanhaiguan campaign.

Whether it is the invincible First Army, which is invincible in all battles, or the famous Death Army, which makes the enemy fearful, or the Fifth Army and Seventh Army, which are extremely powerful and not inferior to the trump card army, they are all for them. The core of the elite lineage of the National Defense Forces.Coupled with the Sixteenth Army's familiarity with the Northeast, the National Defense Forces can quickly maintain local stability after capturing the Northeast and organize a preliminary militia defense force.Since the Nineteenth Army left the old Guangxi clique, it has always wanted to show its skills in the Northeast.Although the two armies can basically be fully controlled by the central government after the army is fully reorganized, after all, many outstanding officers have stayed temporarily, and the mission of this army is still passed on.This time, Hua Fei gathered more than 20 elites at one time as the main force in the battle of Shanhaiguan, which shows how determined Hua Fei is on the Northeast issue.In this battle, one battle will determine the universe, if you fail, you will perish!

With the help of the increasingly perfect radio and wired telephone network, Hua Fei did not have the front line of the battle this time, but returned to the secret underground command center in his hometown of Sanhe to concentrate on directing the battle in an all-round way.

Blitzkrieg, as the name suggests, is to use extremely fast speed to achieve the purpose of war suddenly and quickly.The core elements of blitzkrieg are surprise attack, concentration of forces and speed.This tactical form created by Guderian was a tactic often used by the German army during World War II. It made full use of the advantages of aircraft and tanks to defeat the enemy by surprise attacks.It is often the first to use aircraft to violently bomb the communication center of the enemy's important strategic facilities, blow up the enemy's aircraft at the airport, gain air supremacy, and paralyze the enemy's command system.

Blitz is the combination of surprise attack and fast attack, which will strike the enemy like lightning!It can make the enemy lose morale under the sudden threat, so that they will collapse immediately under the first huge blow!Its essence is very similar to the spirit in the ancient Chinese art of war "Sun Tzu's Art of War", which is as fast as the wind, as slow as the forest, invades and plunders as fire, immovable as a mountain, difficult to know as yin, and moving as thunder.

The blitzkrieg won huge victories for the German army in the early days of World War II, and even in later generations, his theoretical charm remains undiminished.As a professional soldier, I yearn for this blitzkrieg mode even more.It can be said that Hua Fei led a team of self-built armed forces and rose suddenly under the background of the Revolution of [-]. Whether it was attacking Anqing or Nanjing, they all had similarities with the blitzkrieg.

After these years of construction, Hua Fei not only has sufficient hardware conditions to carry out blitzkrieg, but also the entire army has complete experience in command theory and practice.According to the reality, Hua Fei was unable to design an unexpected main attack location, but he still used the peace negotiations between China and Japan to paralyze the vigilance of the Japanese army in the northeast.Moreover, before the general offensive began, the army transferred to Chifeng also had a confusing effect to a certain extent.

One main attack, two auxiliary attacks, and the three armies attacking at the same time. Under the cover of a powerful air force, the formation formed is enough to make the armies of all countries in the world breathe a sigh of relief.

In the early morning of May 5th, just the second day after the press conference of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the manuscripts sent back to China by many reporters had not even been printed. of diplomatic personnel.The room lights of many large hotels were also turned on almost at the same time, and soon a foreigner who was a reporter was seen rushing out of the hotel in disheveled clothes, respecting the drowsy taxi waiting for passengers, chattering.There were foreign reporters who were familiar with Chinese, but they said hastily, "Hurry up, go to Nanjing!"

"But sir, this is Shanghai, are you sure you want to go to Nanjing?"

"Huh? Then take me to the train station quickly. What time is the fastest train? No, take me to the airport and drive!"

At this moment, the sky is only dim, but in the square outside the Presidential Palace in Nanjing, reporters from various newspapers and broadcasters have already gathered after hearing the news. An unprecedented bombing was carried out on Japanese barracks, airports, communication centers, command centers, ammunition depots and other military facilities in the northeast.So far, these reporters know nothing except that the bombing is still going on.

Most of the people spent the whole night rushing through the manuscripts, mainly sorting out the records of the press conference during the day and studying the news announcements of the National Defense Forces. Some people even racked their brains all night to write a comment, asserting the sudden change in the attitude of the Chinese government. , indicating that the short period of peace may be coming to an end.Whether it is war or peace, one thing you cannot but admit is that the initiative is in the hands of the Chinese.If the Japanese side adopts compromises and concessions, there may still be a ray of hope for peace, otherwise, what awaits the land of East Asia will be another protracted war.

These reporters hadn't closed their eyes for a few minutes after completing the manuscript comments, and they were all awakened by the phone call, and then all opened their tired eyes, waiting for the press spokesman of the presidential palace to appear with excitement in their eyes.No matter what conclusions and judgments those reporters made, one thing is absolutely impossible to become a reality.That is, this war will never be protracted, because Hua Fei does not allow it, because China does not allow it!

320 Unstoppable

At the same time, those young trainee reporters in China couldn't contain their excitement.Riding a bicycle, he rushed to the position of the presidential palace and shouted, "The war is on, the war is on, the Central Army is attacking the Northeast in an all-round way!"

Some people who were sleeping soundly got up with sleepy eyes, opened the windows to see what was going on, and soon, a certain young man who understood what was going on yelled like crazy, which scared the couple in this business broken.The mother grabbed her son anxiously, and said in fear, "Son, what's the matter? What's wrong? Is he in a daze? The father of the child, hurry up, call a car and take the child to the hospital!"

"Mom, Dad, Dad, don't call me a car, what kind of car is it! Mom, I'm fine, I'm happy, it's a war. The Central Army has finally marched into the Northeast, and the National Army has finally started fighting with Little Japan!"

The mother was very puzzled by this, but saw that her son seemed to be fine, and his speech was still very clear, so she breathed a sigh of relief, "If you fight, you will fight. I won't allow you to be a soldier anyway. You are the only one in our Xie family." Incense..."

"You say you child, what are you screaming in the morning, it's getting late, go wash up, have breakfast in a while, and go to school quickly!"

"Mom, Dad, you... the national army has marched into the Northeast. The Northeast, that is our land. Our millions of people in the Northeast have struggled to survive for many years under the enslavement of the **** Japanese soldiers. Now the country is finally... finally The Northeast is about to be taken back. In the future, who will dare to say that China is not a big country, and China is not as good as Japan. Mom, Dad, you... how can you not be happy at all?" Open it up, and let your parents know all the fiery passion and proud national glory in your heart.

"Okay. Okay, we're happy. At that time, our family will definitely donate money to help the Central Army recover the Northeast, okay? Hurry up and wash your face and brush your teeth. We're going to school in a while!"

At this time, the streets outside were already bustling with activity. Countless young people rushed out of their homes, some of them didn’t even put on their clothes. They danced and cheered happily one by one. stand up.After a while, there seemed to be a neat shout coming from a distance.

"Support the central government to send troops to the Northeast!"

"Recover the Northeast, defeat Japan, unify the country, and revitalize China!"

"Long live the country, long live the National Defense Forces, and long live President Hua!"

"China is invincible, China is invincible, invincible, but I am invincible. Long live the Chinese National Defense Force!"

"..."

A burst of shouting made this morning no longer peaceful. The young man couldn't stay any longer. He washed his face in a hurry, got dressed, picked up his schoolbag, pushed his bicycle and rushed out of the house, shouting while running, "Mom and Dad, I'm going to school, I'll buy breakfast myself!"

"Oh, this child... slow down... slow down..." When the son walked away and saw more and more young people gathering on the street, the husband and wife looked at each other, the mother was the first to say in wonder, "Really?" I don’t understand what’s going on with the children today. It’s not just the fighters. When we were young, the wars were all…”

"The times have changed, the imperial court has changed, and I think our future will probably be different too. Let's go back and open the door after breakfast early. Today, we celebrate... to celebrate the national army's recovery of the Northeast. Discount business!"

The owner of this small food store didn't know that the national army was only attacking the Northeast in an all-round way, and it was too early to talk about recovery.But it was his whim.The sales of his store have skyrocketed today, and the popularity is beyond his imagination.Because the craftsmanship of this pastry is inherited from the ancestors, the taste is very good.Since this [-]% off promotion, it was an opportunity to celebrate the national army's recovery of the Northeast, and it was published in Duojia newspapers. Its influence has been greatly improved, and it has gradually developed into a well-known brand in China in the future.When a reporter interviewed the owner of this store a few years later, the owner admitted that he had never paid attention to state affairs before, and felt that the country's honor and victory had nothing to do with him.But since this incident, Boss Xie said that he did not expect that supporting the country to fight the war would make the business so good that it is unbelievable.

Not to mention how many readers were amused by Boss Xie's honest and honest words, but the full-scale offensive of the National Defense Forces can be described as the largest comprehensive mobilization joint operation since the National Defense Forces became an army.Whether it is the aircraft used by the Air Force, the number of troops mobilized on the ground, or even the navy's unprecedentedly powerful team, they are all unprecedented.Especially after the comprehensive reorganization of the army, the first appearance of the elite corps in a new form of mechanized troops is an important turning point in the history of the development of the National Defense Forces.

The entire Air Force of the National Defense Forces has more than 2000 aircraft in three divisions. Although this cannot be compared with the melee of thousands of aircraft and hundreds of aircraft during World War I.But this power in East Asia is enough to be daunting.The air force of three divisions, for this Northeast battle, Hua Fei mobilized the air force of about two divisions, with a total of about 600 aircraft, including more than 300 bombers, more than [-] dive bombers, and [-] fighters. There are more than [-] transport aircraft and a huge air force lineup composed of several high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft.Although there are still shortcomings and flaws, it can deal with the Japanese Air Force in the Northeast.enough.

In fact, the large-scale air battle in Northeast China did not happen at all, because China sent troops to Northeast China so suddenly, so suddenly that even the reporters who had just visited the press conference did not expect it.Under the escort of fighter jets, the large-scale bomber fleet first bombed the Japanese air force airports and barracks in the northeast. Army on the ground, ammunition depots do a lot of damage.Even if a few planes flew up occasionally, they were surrounded and annihilated by the "hungry" Air Force pilots of the National Defense Forces.

When the plane just took off, the heavy artillery force of the National Defense Forces stationed at Shanhaiguan was full of artillery fire, and thousands of shells poured on the Japanese positions. Before they could fight back, one division and two regiments had more than four hundred One tank, one army and three divisions is more than 200 tanks.In addition, a tank division of the Fourth Army, the Fifth Army, and the Seventh Army, although their tank divisions adopt the system of two regiments and two battalions, each division has only more than [-] tanks, and each army has only one tank division. The armored division, but the three armies also have three tank divisions with thousands of tanks. Such a huge and magnificent steel torrent composed of [-] to [-] tanks in total, the powerful attack power is almost invincible and unstoppable.Whether it's bunkers, trenches, barbed wire fences, or cities, all obstacles are crushed by the tank's artillery fire and track pressure amidst the sound of the rolling tank torrent.

In the front are tanks clearing the way, and behind are infantry under the traction and transportation of cars, with individual firepower, heavy machine guns, mortars, howitzers, and cannons providing special fire support at any time.And the plane in the sky, under the command of the headquarters, cooperated with the attacking forward to advance all the way.

Just the time of day.The main force of the National Defense Forces advanced from Shanhaiguan to Xingcheng, and the front of the troops was approaching Huludao. Under this almost irresistible offensive, the 20 Japanese troops were overwhelmed.The North Korean puppet army was completely defeated almost immediately. Even in the face of machine gun fire from the Japanese army in the rear, no one turned back.Are you willing to face a few machine guns, or are you willing to face an endless army of rolling steel monsters?

In the loss of air supremacy, the ammunition depot was devastated, and the command center was successively destroyed by the air force and the enemy's special armed forces on the ground. The 20 Japanese troops could not form effective organization and resistance at all.Under the powerful electromagnetic suppression, the only radio waves they can receive are the telegrams from the National Defense Forces to persuade them to surrender, in addition to the official Chinese victory broadcasts.

Until dusk and sunset, the main force of the murderous East Route Army of the National Defense Army had entered Xingcheng to rest, and more than [-] Japanese troops retreated to Huludao and Jinzhou without organizing an effective resistance at all.The battle between the Central Route Army and the West Route Army was also very smooth. They even decided to continue to advance in the dark, speed up the rhythm of the attack, and complete the reunion of the three armies in Shenyang as soon as possible.

But the East Route Army did not take any risks. After all, although their military strength is the strongest among the Three Route Army, the enemy they face is also the strongest. Although more than 20 Japanese troops were routed to the rear, their strength was limited.The rapid advance of the National Defense Forces allowed their forces to be concentrated to a certain extent.Moreover, as the front line lengthens, the supplies of the National Defense Forces, especially the supply of fuel for tanks, also need to be sufficient. There are more than 2000 tanks, not to mention the consumption of ammunition, but the demand for fuel alone is a huge number.However, due to adequate preparations, this is not a big problem for the current National Defense Forces.

The command of the combat headquarters was issued immediately, and the army of the West Route Army temporarily stopped attacking, and the air force continued to maintain the bombing. Huludao must be captured in one fell swoop before dawn.This coincides with the opinions of Cai E, Cai Songpo, the commander-in-chief of the West Route Army, and the general staff. However, the combat plan submitted by Cai Songpo to the general headquarters is even crazier. Cai E's opinion is to attack Huludao in batches overnight and take it before dawn At daybreak, the city marched towards the important town of Jinzhou without taking any rest, and at the same time notified the various departments of the Central Route Army to cooperate in the battle.

In a sense, Cai E's decision is more in line with the essence of the blitzkrieg, but under the persuasion of the general headquarters, Hua Fei decided to win with prudence.For one thing, although the sudden attack completely collapsed the defense of the Japanese frontline, after arriving in Huludao, they already had a psychological security barrier.When attacking in the dark, the torrent of steel cannot exert a visual impact and shock, and there are serious constraints on command, so it is difficult to quickly destroy morale.In addition, if the Eastern Route Army advances blindly alone, it will disrupt the combat deployment of the other two armies and affect the overall strategic plan.

Although the troops of the East Route Army are all Hua Fei's direct descendants, the commander-in-chief of the East Route Army is Cai E and Cai Songpo, and the chief of staff is even more unimaginable. Xu Shuzheng.Xu Shuzheng can be called Duan Qirui's confidant, and it can be said that his influence on Duan Qirui's life is extremely important.When Xu Shuzheng surrendered to Nanjing, because of the grievances and resentments between him and Feng Yuxiang, Hua Fei personally explained that although they could not completely resolve the enmity from the bottom of their hearts, at least in business matters, they absolutely did not dare to restrain them.

Xu Shuzheng is a great talent, not only knows how to fight, but also is very capable in politics.He served as the military counselor of the sixth town of Duan Qirui's department and the general staff of the first army. In 1912, he served as the director of the military science department of the army department.When Yuan Shikai proclaimed himself emperor, he urged Duan Qirui to resist and was dismissed by Yuan Shikai.Later, after Yuan Shikai's downfall, he served as Secretary General of the State Council of the Beiyang Government.If it weren't for the instigation of Hua Fei's Butterfly Effect, he later instigated Zhang Xun to drive Li Yuanhong away, and afterwards he flattened Zhang Xun's military operations and became the Deputy Minister of the Army.It was only after the collapse of the Beiyang government that he was shot dead by Feng Yuxiang's subordinates in Langfang because of his personal grievances with Feng Yuxiang.
