New Warlords 1909

Although Beiyang collapsed, Xu Shuzheng's character remained unchanged. Even if he finally surrendered to Hua Fei, his loyalty to Hua Fei was not high.But this is why Hua Fei used him. In the national defense army, there are not many generals who can serve as generals, and there are not many generals who command a large-scale army, and there are even fewer people who command such a large-scale war and can cooperate tacitly with the general headquarters in the military.Cai E, who has rich combat experience and superb command art, is undoubtedly a very suitable candidate.And reusing Cai E will stabilize the morale of the former Southern Army officers and soldiers after the reorganization, which will help the stability of the reorganized army.

But to a certain extent, Hua Fei was not very relieved of Cai E after all.How to say that Cai E was once a hero, what Hua Fei was worried about was not his rebellion, but Cai E's disobedience to the orders of the general headquarters, acting without authorization, and undermining the overall combat strategy.With the check and balance of Xu Shuzheng, who has an arrogant personality and no eyesight, at least it will impose certain restrictions on Cai E.

However, Hua Fei's worries were obviously superfluous. Cai E not only faithfully carried out the orders of the general headquarters, even if he had any ideas, he would write a plan and submit it to the headquarters, waiting for approval.In terms of military cooperation, Cai E is obviously very aware of his own status and weight in the Nanjing central government.

The Japanese army was completely stunned by the results of the day's attention of the National Defense Forces. It had been a long time since nightfall, and the Japanese domestic military department had not yet received detailed military intelligence ahead.A large number of command posts on the front line of the Northeast Japanese army were damaged in the bombing, and the communication between the various ministries was interrupted. During the chaotic retreat, the Japanese army and the Korean puppet army also shot at each other, which was simply chaos.In Huludao at the moment, it was a complete mess.Some couldn't find the superior squadron, so they simply left Huludao overnight and went directly to Jinzhou.Everyone can see that, facing such a powerful offensive and pressure from the National Defense Forces, the chaotic Huludao may not be able to figure it out until dawn.More importantly, the tens of thousands of North Korean puppet troops who retreated here are more like a hot potato. It is dangerous to stay, and it is not right to drive away, making Huludao an area that Japanese soldiers do not want to stay.

Facing the continuous bombing of the Air Force of the National Defense Forces, the Japanese Lieutenant General Ono Sanquan in Huludao finally contacted the headquarters. The order given by the Japanese Northeast Army Command was very simple. They secretly withdrew all Japanese troops and rushed to Jinzhou, leaving all North Korea behind. Army, garrison Huludao!

Ono Sanquan did not hesitate and immediately began to organize a retreat.The city was extremely chaotic, and he didn't care about arranging the deployment of defenses. He directly called out his own guards to guard the city gates, and notified the orders of the headquarters to all armies.As long as the Japanese army can go out of the city and withdraw to Jinzhou, but for the Korean army, they must stay and garrison Huludao.

Faced with the ruthless gunpoints of the Japanese army, although the North Korean soldiers were angry, desperate, and frustrated, they were helpless.Many people even remember the scene when they retreated during the day, facing the crazy shooting of the Japanese army, and the scene of their companions falling down one by one.The Japanese army left them alone to defend Huludao. Everyone could see that Huludao was difficult to survive under the siege of the National Defense Forces.But they not only have to stay, they have to stay here.Because many of their family members stay in North Korea, if they don't die in battle, their family members will be killed!This is the threat that Ono Sanquan made to the top officer of the Korean Army before retreating!

It was late at night, and as the last batch of bombers dispatched before zero o'clock, the air force, after a long period of bombing in large numbers, would also take a break.The Third Flying Regiment of the First Division of the Air Force was originally stationed in the Shanghai area and was responsible for the airspace security of that airspace.However, since the Navy's Eastern Giant aircraft carrier was officially put into service, with the existence of naval aviation at sea, the mission of the Third Flying Regiment was undoubtedly greatly reduced. Therefore, for this battle against the Northeast, two-thirds of their aircraft were transferred northward.

Zhang Man is the squadron leader of a bomber squadron of the [-]nd Flying Brigade under the [-]rd Flying Regiment. Before departure, their regiment leaders did not know what kind of mission they would have. Many people even speculated whether a military exercise was going to be held. ?Is it just a feint of military strength to put pressure on Japan and increase bargaining chips?

What they didn't expect was that the plane was transported from the ground to the northern airport in a closed way. Instead of flying the plane to the destination, these pilots rushed to the north in a special military train.Until then, some people felt that something was wrong.

As soon as they got out of the car, before many people even had time to rest, the Air Force Division Headquarters called the captains of each brigade to a meeting to deploy tasks. Soon, the captains of each brigade hurried back to give orders, and all the pilots of the squadrons rested , Waiting for combat orders at any time!

Yes, it is combat!Although most of these pilots have combat experience, this sudden combat order still surprised many people.When they knew what target they were going to fight, many pilots were so excited that they didn't even close their eyes!

The battle was fought as soon as it was said, and it was still fought from the early morning to the late night of the next day. Many pilots just took an airspace map, and after figuring out the general mission, they quickly flew the plane into the sky.The high-intensity continuous combat that lasted for a day, with a total of three take-off missions, made even a veteran pilot like Zhang Man feel a little too much, but the war seemed to be just the beginning!

: Report, my eyelids are also fighting birds~

321 Bleeding Training

Take a tour along the sales route of Huludao and Jinzhou.Since Qianye was too dark, and the [-]" small-size vehicles were fully implemented to control the police, the effect of dispatching at this time was far less than the pleasure of air force planes intercepting and killing the retreating Japanese troops at the beginning of the night. Under the control of the police On the basis of this, the Japanese army also strengthened the deployment of mobile anti-aircraft artillery along the train, so that the bomber formations of the National Defense Forces could no longer bully the Japanese army on the ground with impunity.

At the beginning of the Blitz, the Air Force of the National Defense Forces took advantage of the superiority of the air force by surprise and severely hit the air power of the Northeast Army of Japan.And it dealt a huge blow to Japan's ammunition depots, barracks, and munitions and ammunition depot systems.At the same time, taking advantage of tank clusters, at the beginning of the Eastern Front War, it destroyed the frontal defense of 20 Japanese troops and completely collapsed the Japanese vassal army, the Korean puppet army.

But after all, this is the first time that the National Defense Forces have fought in a group of large-scale farming tanks, and the cooperation is obviously not yet at the level of complete tacit understanding.Even after the rapid attack of the tank division and the motorized infantry division, there was an accident that the formation was out of line.If it weren't for the complete loss of the command center, the disorganized Japanese army would not have organized an effective counterattack at all.I am afraid that the first large-scale mechanized battle of the most elite troops of the National Defense Forces will suffer unpredictable losses.

The headquarters, which discovered the situation in time, slowed down the attack speed of the First Army in time. In addition, the Japanese army has been in the Northeast for several years. Shenyang, Jinzhou, and Huludao have all built railways and developed road networks, and a simple railway line has even been repaired. Suizhong area.The speedy traffic made the Japanese army not yet reach the semi-mechanized and semi-motorized level of the National Defense Forces, but the speed of retreat was not much slower.Moreover, the military forts built along the way, leaving behind the broken Japanese army, even delayed the attack speed of the National Defense Forces.This allowed the main force of the Japanese army to flee to Huludao in embarrassment, without getting a breath at all.

But even so, in the face of the powerful steel torrent offensive of the National Defense Forces, the losses of the Japanese and Korean troops are still staggering. More than 20 Japanese troops fled to Huludao, plus the defenders of Huludao, the remaining troops were only 15 at most.In one day, the Japanese army directly lost more than 5 troops. Among them, more than [-] people from the two divisions of the Korean Army were wiped out and more than [-] people were captured.Although the losses of the Japanese army were small, nearly [-] people died in battle.Thousands of people were captured.Among them, many of the Gu soldiers died, and they clashed with the North Korean army on the way to retreat.

In addition, the 20 Japanese army lost almost all of their ammunition, and more than half of the individual weapons were lost. The thousand artillery pieces on the front line were almost unused, and they fell into the list of spoils of the defending army.As for the hundreds of tanks and planes that survived the bombing fire, they are basically out of the eyes of the National Defense Forces, and only have the value of returning to the furnace to smelt iron.

This is just the result of the Eastern Route Army's battles along the way.Although the National Defense Forces mobilized troops at the beginning of the offensive to confuse the Japanese, the Shanhaiguan area is still the top priority of the Japanese defense after all.So the offensive of the Second Army of the Central Route Army and the West Route Army.That can be described as a tide-like offensive.When the army of tanks and armor arrived, it was overwhelming. The unprepared Japanese and North Korean allied forces threw away their armor and armor, and suffered heavy losses.In some areas, the entire army was simply wiped out.It was too late to escape, so the armored lions of the National Defense Forces made dumplings.

The National Defense Forces won a big victory in the first battle, and they should have pursued the victory, but because the good judgment of the offensive was completely underestimated by the various armies, there were some problems in the coordination of the various armies.Or the fundamental reason why the staff officers of the Sanhe General Headquarters are so cautious is deep down in their hearts. They don't believe that the results of such battles are facts, and they still don't believe it. Completely shocked these military staff officers.In the vigilance of the profession, everyone thinks that such a victory is too easy, so the next step must be careful and cautious.

It’s no wonder that even the senior staff officers of the National Defense Forces reacted in this way. You said that if you knew that the National Defense Forces had such combat effectiveness and the Japanese army was so vulnerable, why wait until now to recover the Northeast, and it would be better to drive Little Japan out of the Northeast.

Only Hua Fei was not too surprised by this. You must know that at the beginning of World War II, the German army used such tactics. They conquered Poland within one day, Denmark within one day, Norway within three days, Holland within three days, and Belgium within one day. Conquer France, known as "the strongest army in Europe" within [-] days.

If it is a miracle that the Wehrmacht achieved such a result in one day, then the performance of the German army at the beginning of World War II can only be summed up in mythology.Moreover, the blitzkrieg completely relies on the mechanized advantages of aircraft and tanks. Compared with ordinary corps operations, whether it is consumption or material logistics support, it is a great test.In the later stage of the German army, because of the lack of oil, many tanks with strong combat effectiveness could only become a pile of scrap iron.Useless.

Although the current national defense force cannot compare with the German army in the early days of World War II in terms of equipment, officer quality, and combat effectiveness, there is one thing Hua Fei can be sure of, that is, after a large amount of private funds have been injected into it, especially after it has become an elite army, it will be completed quickly. Nine elite armored divisions equipped with full-scale tanks, in terms of mechanization.Absolutely not lost to any army ace in any country today.If such a result cannot be achieved, Hua Fei will have to reflect on it and see where the problem lies.

Reluctantly, Zhang Man flew around in the dark sky again. It is very dangerous to fly an airplane at night like this, and it is also a great test of flying skills.If it is not a large number of support for night flight, especially the wide application of gyro technology, it is possible to fly the aircraft at night and in rainy and snowy weather.

But even so, Zhang Man's last flight mission today did not have to be just at night.At that time, a large number of Japanese troops were retreating along the railway line, and the movement along the way was transparent, with clear and concentrated targets.At that time, Zhang Man threw all the bombs on the plane down, and then fired with machine guns while flying.Under the deep night.Along the railway line outside the city of Huludao, I don't know how many corpses of Japanese soldiers were left behind.

Not reconciled!Could it be that this is the last mission tonight, and he has to go back and hand in a blank paper.Zhang Man thought for a while, pulled the pilot light, and told the other pilots in the squadron to continue searching through the flashing light.

It was this temporary risky decision.Let Zhang Man meet a big prey, and he has been prepared since then, and later he was awarded the highest level of the Air Force's Eagle Medal, which is a later story.

The National Defense Forces did not carry out a devastating bombing of the Japanese railway line. Instead of cutting off the enemy's retreat and allowing them to resist, it is better to leave a glimmer of life for them, so that they can gradually lose their lives. The less cost, the more hairy "Gongguo" is because of the fixed position of the railway line. The concealment of the train is very poor, and almost every train will be harassed by the machine guns of the National Defense Forces fighter planes. So that the Japanese in charge of security saw the National Defense Forces aircraft. The shadows, the people on the train were like a swarm of bees, coaxing them to disperse. In the end, those Japanese soldiers would rather dangle on the bumpy car than take the risk of lying on the train.

Although Ono Sanquan has the rank of Lieutenant General, he obviously lacks the Japanese "Bushido". To some extent, he is afraid of hardships than death. , or found a Wehrmacht plane on the way, and had to jump out of the car and hide in the bushes and woods, it was even more unbearable than killing him. But even so, Ono Sanquan is still extremely dedicated to his work. They all withdrew to Jinzhou. After arranging for the Korean army in Huludao, Sanquan Ono, escorted by some guards, withdrew to Jinzhou in a car.

But I don't know whether it was Ono Sanquan's bad luck or Zhang Man's luck, although the convoy turned off the lights to avoid the sound of the plane in the sky.But just as Zhang Man and the others raised the fuselage.When preparing to return, the squadron leader Zhang Man inadvertently turned around and looked back.But it was his unwilling look back that shocked him.Because he saw a flash of light on the dark road just now.

Zhang Man calmly and quickly sent radio signals to each aircraft, and at the same time turned the fuselage first, and flew towards the suspicious light just now.But when he flew close, he still couldn't see anything, so that Zhang Man wondered if he was too tired to be dazzled?Although a simple radio signal communicator was installed on the plane at this time, it was still unable to perform the call function, otherwise someone would ask doubtfully, Squadron leader, what you see is not the light, but your red eyes from the war.

As time went by, Zhang Man understood that he couldn't go on like this.Suddenly, Zhang Man suddenly raised his blunt warhead, and when his teammates were puzzled, they saw him suddenly press down the fuselage and rush down quickly, and at the same time he fired the machine gun on the plane.

A series of gunshots broke the monotony of the engine roar. There were not only Zhang Man's machine guns, but also the anti-aircraft fire machine guns of the Ono Sanquan Guards. In fact, Zhang Man's strafing was completely blind shooting. In this dark night, he didn't find any target at all. Shooting is just a temptation. This kind of temptation is not very effective for a small group of Japanese soldiers or extremely experienced soldiers. But this team of guards The guard was Lieutenant General Xiao Ono, Commander of the Three Powers, and the psychological pressure was already enormous. In addition, Zhang Man flew back and circled after leaving, which made the pressure climb to the limit.

It was found, although not sure.But all the Japanese soldiers are still insisting.It's just this last persistence. After Zhang Man launched a dive and strafing, a young Japanese soldier with little combat experience fired the anti-aircraft machine gun in his hand.Once the war started, both sides reacted quickly. Before Zhang Man gave an order, several flares were quickly dropped from the plane.

At the same time, the Japanese guards quickly started their cars, trying to escort the general, accelerated out of the open area in front of them, and sent the general into a dense forest ahead to hide.With the help of flares, Zhang Man quickly had a clear view of the situation below. Although he didn't know who the convoy was escorting, the convoy of dozens of trucks and armored vehicles must protect the convoy of dozens of cars. Is a senior officer.

Zhang Man was not stingy about throwing Dandan, and he was not soft-hearted. Following the downward momentum, while leveling the fuselage, a heavy aerial bomb was thrown towards a car in the convoy.

There were more than a dozen small cars, but the one Zhang Man chose was the mount of Ono Sanquan.Similar to dive bombing, although the hit rate has been improved, even in the daytime, the pilot with the highest hit rate dare not say that he hits every shot. Besides, it is still the middle of the night with the help of flares, and Zhang Man also dropped an aircraft by the way. bomb.

It was this accidental aerial bomb that landed on the roof of Ono Sanquan's car with great luck.Accompanied by a fire that is more dazzling than the starry sky.The world of Ono Sanquan was completely silent.

Dozens of guard armored vehicles, trucks in one.In the siege and fight of nearly [-] fighter-bombers in the squadron, there was hardly much power to fight back.Although the night sky made it more difficult for the air force to attack, it also troubled the Japanese army's air defense operations.Because it looks from the ground; except for the roar of the plane.The navigation lights that passed by couldn't be the target of shooting at all.

Ono Sanquan may still have a lot of idiosyncrasies in life, but the loyalty of his guard is commendable.Around the car that had been bombed beyond recognition, the Japanese soldiers not only did not flee in all directions because of the death of the general, but instead picked up their pistols with a somewhat frantic expression, and fired angrily at the sky.

A major officer even opened his clothes angrily. After the pistol bullets were fired, he watched a plane rushing towards him. The major pulled out his waist knife.Shouting and rushing up.

However, in the face of absolute force, the fearless death could not change the ending at all, but after ten minutes, apart from burning cars and corpses, the Japanese soldiers with swords drawn and roaring were no longer seen on the entire road.In the flames of the explosion, thousands of corpses could be seen lying on the dirt road.The guards of these Ono Sanquan, after the general was killed, almost none of them left the battlefield, but chose the "noble choice" of dedicating their lives to the emperor.

For Zhang Manfang's loss, a squadron of 26 and four planes were under maintenance without any damage.The most serious thing may be Zhang Man's plane, whose wings were smoked by the opponent's machine gun.But the situation is not very serious, at least driving back to the airport should not be a problem.

Ono Sanquan and his guards chose such a tragic scene to bid farewell to the Northeast, but they still could not change the fate of the Japanese Northeast Army, nor could it change the national destiny and history of Japan as a whole.

When Zhang Man and the others went back, they made a report according to the usual practice, but at that time they didn't know what kind of person they killed, because after a short rest, they were going to fight again at dawn.It wasn't until after the war that the National Defense Forces sorted out and reviewed their military exploits that they discovered this major event, and Zhang Man and his squadron received special individual and collective honors for this.

Ono Sanquan may not be a heavyweight officer in the entire Northeast Army.But how can he be a lieutenant general?

Lieutenant general level officers, in the entire Northeast Army, there will not be more than ten people. The death of Ono Sanquan is not only the loss of one general, but also his morale blow to the entire Northeast Army of Japan, especially the psychological impact on the middle-level officers. That is unimaginable.

At noon the next day, the Dangdong Army marched [-] kilometers outside Huludao City.The West Route Army and the First Part of the Central Route Army have jointly captured Chaoyang and are advancing towards Beipiao and Zhuoxin without stopping.The other part of the Central Route Army also advanced to Yangjiazhang, and will catch up in a short time.After scouting the situation in Huludao during the day, the vanguard of the entire Eastern Route Army completely lost interest in the city, leaving the plan to the [-]th and [-]th armies that caught up later.These two armies are rushing, but they have not even completed the construction of semi-motorization, let alone mechanization, so the speed will lag behind by a large amount.If they don't leave some bones for them, they will complain that they don't have to march all the way to the northeast in this battle, without even consuming bullets.

The National Defense Forces have learned a lot about the combat effectiveness of the North Korean puppet army.At the beginning of the blitzkrieg, if it weren't for the rapid collapse of the puppet army, and even the infighting with the Japanese army, I am afraid that the Shanhaiguan defense line carefully constructed by the Japanese would not have collapsed so quickly.At least more than 20 Japanese troops, even if they are not prepared at all, will not be helpless under the blitzkrieg of the National Defense Forces, except to retreat or retreat.

The strategic position of Huludao cannot be said to be unimportant. It is not only an important port in Liaodong Bay, but also an important stronghold on the way out of the customs.Even if the gourd crow can be blocked on the road, it can still advance and retreat freely on the sea.No matter how you look at it, for Japan, which has certain sea power in Liaodong Bay, the strategic significance of Huludao cannot be ignored.It's just that under the strong, sudden, and swift attack of the National Defense Forces divided into three groups, the Japanese have no confidence in guarding Huludao.Instead of spending all our troops here, it is better to shrink the line of defense.Concentrate your strength to resist the attack of the squadron.Waiting for follow-up orders in the country.

The National Defense Forces did not take the [-] to [-] Korean puppet troops in Huludao seriously. It would be better to pass by Huludao. They just left a motorized infantry division in charge of guarding and waiting for the [-]th Army behind.The Nineteenth Army took over Huludao in an all-out attack.After all, in the eyes of the commander-in-chief Cai Ji, the core essence of blitzkrieg is to be fast, and the one-night delay.They have already lost their quick tactical advantage, but after the initial victory in the blitzkrieg, they should gather three forces as soon as possible to steadily improve the results.Even if you are seeking stability, you cannot lose the quick word formula of using troops.Cai Qian's move seems risky, but it is actually extremely safe.Not only was the Korean army at odds with Japan, but under the shadow of the defeat, the Korean army completely lost its mind.Regardless of the fact that they still have [-] to [-] troops, let alone that they are facing an elite motorized infantry division, even if it is a regiment, I am afraid they would not dare to act rashly.For the North Korean army, this is no longer a question of whether to fight or not, but how to surrender to ensure their interests.

The Sixteenth Army and the Nineteenth Army are really aggrieved. Although they are both the main attack force of the Eastern Route Army, when the battle started, the First Army, Fourth Army, Fifth Army, and Seventh Army took the lead. With the help of mechanized and motorized The power quickly threw them off.Although the two armies suffocated their strength, how could their legs run over the wheels.Helpless, they could only do the aftermath and take in the prisoners in frustration.People eat meat.And as the "landlords," the Sixteenth Army did drink very politely.

Come.

There is no way, although I feel upset, but who makes him the ace and direct descendant of the National Defense Forces, whether it is record or history.They are all incomparable.So when they heard that there were [-] to [-] Japanese troops in Huludao, which were reserved for them to attack, those young people did not need to mobilize at all.Immediately, morale soared dozens of times, and he was arrogant.With high spirits, he rushed forward.

The excited head of a certain division of the Sixteenth Army led his subordinates to the Huludao city first, and immediately began preparations for the siege regardless of fatigue.But before they were busy for a few minutes, the North Korean army in Huludao sent negotiators, and they were willing to surrender conditionally!

How can you surrender?How can you surrender!The head of the regiment suddenly seemed to have been poured cold water all over his body, and he was completely dumbfounded.Dare to feel that they came to Huludao in a hurry, and what they did was to accept captives again.This time it may sound better, it should be regarded as a surrender.Ke Ke still has a lot of bullets in this gun.
