Take Taobao to fight against Japan

On the second day, Gu Mosan ordered the troops to wait for the opportunity to advance to the rear and side of the Japanese army, basically without direct contact with the Japanese army.

In this way, the battle of Zhejiang and Jiangxi came to an end.

The battle lasted about three months. The Japanese army concentrated more than 12 divisions. After hard fighting, they paid a heavy price and achieved the planned combat objectives.

Afterwards, according to the Japanese war history records, the Japanese army killed and injured more than 600 people, lost the head of the Sakai Division, and lost a total of 516 combat aircraft of various types, 128 heavy artillery of various types and calibers, and various types of guns. There are a total of 3507 caliber field guns, mountain guns, mortars, and grenades, more than 503 firearms of various types, 520 armored vehicles and chariots, 4200 trucks, and more than [-] horses.

The national army also paid a very heavy price, with more than [-] casualties and serious losses of technical equipment such as aircraft, tanks, and artillery.

The larger Western Hubei battle has not yet come to an end, but it is almost the same. The two sides have been exhausted and have formed a confrontation as early as half a month ago.

The strategic intent of the Japanese army in launching the Battle of Western Hubei was to annihilate the main force of the sixth theater and the Chinese and American air forces, control the Yangtze River waterway between Yichang and Yueyang, recapture Yichang, Fancheng, Zhicheng, Xiangyang, Jingmen and other areas, and ensure the safety of Wuhan. Colleagues , To clear the way forward for the attack on the capital of Chongqing.

However, it is clear that the Sixth War Zone, which serves as the supporting capital of Chongqing, will never allow the Japanese army's strategic attempt to succeed easily. Under the coordinated operations of the powerful air force, it launched a protracted and tenacious resistance against the Japanese army.

In particular, the 5st Army, composed of the 71th Army and the 31st Army, played a vital role and staged rare tank battles with the Japanese armored forces many times.

Among them, the performance of General Dai Anlan's 200th Division is the most outstanding. The division is equipped with the latest American Sherman medium tanks. It has a great advantage in the face of the new Japanese tanks, and has given the Japanese armored forces many times a heavy burden. hit.

After more than three months, the Japanese army went through continuous hard work. Although they successively captured many cities in western Hubei, they finally stopped near Yichang City, unable to capture this crucial strategic location according to the original combat plan.

Japan's No. 11 Army has accumulated more than 4000 casualties, and lost 720 combat aircraft of various types, 387 heavy artillery pieces of various types and calibers, field artillery, mountain artillery, mortars, and throwing guns of various types and calibers. There are a total of 4241 cartridges, more than 847 firearms of various types, 720 armored vehicles and chariots, 3200 trucks, and more than [-] horses.

The sixth war zone had more than 53000 casualties, and the loss of various technical equipment was similar to that of the Japanese army. The only thing that made people feel disadvantaged was that more than half of the towns that had been recovered in the third Changsha battle fell into the enemy's hands again.

Judging from the final results of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi battle and the western Hubei battle, the national army not only lost the city and territory, but also paid a heavy price of casualties. It seems that they have lost a big battle.

But in fact this is not the case, because the national army not only caused great casualties and attrition to the Japanese army, but also compared with the previous record in terms of battle damage data, especially the ratio of heavy casualties in the early days of the War of Resistance, there was a very obvious improvement.

From this point, it is not difficult to see that with the acquisition of a large number of advanced weapons and equipment, air supremacy and sufficient training, the combat effectiveness of the national army has been completely reborn, and it has long been different from what it used to be.

In the Zhejiang-Jiangxi battle and the western Hubei battle, Okamura Ningji used extremely powerful attack power. Although he achieved the desired results on the whole, it was by no means as satisfactory as he imagined.

And Ningji Okamura was so unwilling to end the two simultaneous battles, on the one hand because the national army resisted extremely tenaciously, which caused great casualties and losses to the Japanese attacking troops.

On the other hand, it is because the Huben Army is doing more and more things, and it is almost threatening the overall strategic layout of the Japanese Huaxia Dispatch Army.

Of course, in terms of propaganda, the Japanese government spared no effort to promote these two battles as an unprecedented brilliant victory after the stage of strategic stalemate.

For a while, the radio stations, newspapers and other news media controlled by Japan began to report and publicize frantically, exaggerating how brave and powerful the Japanese imperial army was, annihilating hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops, and avenging the Yamato people who died in the Tokyo bombing up.

At the same time, the Japanese government also took advantage of the situation to guide public opinion, and suddenly broke out heavy news: After many investigations and verifications, it turned out that the "culprit" of the Tokyo tragedy was not the Nationalist Government, but the Chinese Huben Army. Military targets.

After a long period of insignificant development, the Japanese army really felt that they were strong enough now, and had accumulated enough powerful crushing advantages. They finally made up their minds to completely solve the serious problem of the Huaxia Huben Army.

Chapter 1479 New situation, new problem

In fact, the same is true, the performance of Huben Army is too eye-catching.

Although the Huben army gave up their favorable defensive positions, they turned from defense to offense and took the initiative to launch a fierce attack on the heavy Japanese army group that was holding on to the fortress.

However, after a few months, the Huben Army still achieved a series of brilliant results relying on its strong offensive strength.

Among them, the 5th Army and the 6th Army, which started the counterattack from Guangxi, have completed the recovery of the entire territory of Guangxi, and recovered more than 20 towns in Guangdong, and penetrated into the Japanese-occupied areas of Guangdong.

At present, the two Huben armies have joined forces with the National Army troops of the Fourth Theater and the Seventh Theater, forming a huge military pressure on the Japanese army throughout Guangdong, including Guangzhou, the capital of Guangdong Province.

The four Huben Group Armies with Shandong as their offensive fulcrum became more aggressive. After more than three months of hard work, and after paying a considerable price, the Huben Army finally made a major military breakthrough.

The Huben Army successively destroyed more than a dozen solid fortresses guarded by the Japanese Kwantung Army, large and small, broke through the numerous interception lines carefully constructed by the Japanese army, and annihilated more than 15 Japanese Kwantung Army elite troops.

The rest of the main force of the Japanese army has retreated to Shijiazhuang, Baoding, Tianjin and other big cities, as well as dangerous towns in the Taihang Mountains at the junction of Shanxi and Hebei.

After destroying the many defensive fortresses of the Japanese army at the junction of Shandong and Hebei, what was exposed in front of the Huben Army was the vast Hebei Plain.

The Hebei Plain is an area located to the north of the Yellow River in the North China Plain, bounded by the Yellow River in the south, Yanshan Mountain in the north, Taihang Mountain in the west, and Bohai Sea in the east, with an area of ​​about 15 square kilometers. The altitude is reduced from about 100 meters to about 3 meters along the coast of the Bohai Sea.

The Hebei Plain has a large population, prosperous economy and culture, and developed transportation. It has been the political, economic, and cultural center of China since ancient times.

Since the fall of Japan, it has naturally become an extremely important economic center for the Japanese invaders. The devils have always attached great importance to it.

However, their opponent is the mighty Chinese tiger army. Even if the devil wants to defend to the limit, it is just wishful thinking, because there is no unbreakable shield in this world.

It has to be said that for the highly mechanized Huben army, it corresponds to "the sea is wide and the fish leap, and the sky allows the birds to fly". Such a plain area is undoubtedly the most favorable terrain for combat!

After breaking through numerous sieges, the Hebei Plain opened its doors wide. Faced with the great temptation of conquering the city and conquering the territory, all the soldiers of the Huaxia Huben Army became excited like never before.

The four Huben armies scrambled to launch a series of sharp attacks. In just half a month, they conquered more than 4 towns and regained a large area of ​​lost ground. The soldiers pointed directly at Handan, Anyang, Xingtai, Cangzhou and other important towns in Hebei. .

Even the Japanese and puppet troops in Shijiazhuang, Baoding, Tianjin and other large cities felt the extremely serious crisis of war and began to tremble.

It is no exaggeration to say that the momentum of the Huben Army's northward offensive has seriously threatened the security of the entire North China Plain and even the Puppet Manchukuo, and seriously shaken the rule of the Japanese invaders over China.

In addition, Yang Fan's strategic bombing of the Japanese mainland and the Manchukuo industrial zone has also been tried and carried out, but the Japanese army is extremely vigilant in this regard, and has built a strong warning network and defense network.

The Huben Army's more than ten night strategic bombings achieved relatively limited bombing effects, and it can only be said to have taken some small advantages.

Of course, this is mainly because Yang Fan did not make up his mind to carry out large-scale strategic bombing at any cost. The reason is simple: with limited resources, Yang Fan can only focus on ground attack and breaking through the Japanese defensive encirclement.

Therefore, under such circumstances, the Japanese army headquarters had to order Okamura Ningji to immediately end the large-scale military operations in the Kuomintang-controlled areas and base areas behind enemy lines, and put all their energy on dealing with the Huben Army.

The Japanese army finally showed its fangs, and concentrated more than 4300 combat aircraft, 5000 tanks and armored vehicles, and more than 7000 artillery pieces of powerful technical equipment, preparing to attack the Chinese Huben Army from the north and the south.

It is because of this that the military pressure on the Huben army has increased several times in a short period of time. With the large-scale participation of the air force, the offensive momentum of the ground troops was instantly blocked, and a new round of strategic stalemate was entered.

After all, the Japanese army is not made of mud, especially when the air force is unprecedentedly strong, continuing to use ground troops to make deep breakthroughs will only be worth the candle.

At present, what Yang Fan has to do is to work step by step, piecemeal and piecemeal, first get rid of the devil's air force first!

As for the international situation, the Allied camp has also improved considerably.

First of all, on the North African battlefield, the strength of the Allied Forces has further grown, and the living space of Rommel's African Army has been extremely compressed, and it has been besieged on the Tunisian highlands. Strategic bombing was launched.

Not only did Rommel completely lose the possibility of a counterattack, but the chips in his hands were also gradually decreasing. The defeat and demise of the African Army was just around the corner.

On the European Eastern Front, the Soviet Red Army was still engaged in brutal urban street battles with the Germans in Leningrad, Stalingrad, Moscow, and the Caucasus.

As the severe winter gradually approached again, the German army, which had been unable to attack for a long time, began to have problems in terms of personnel, equipment, and supplies. The balance of victory had begun to tilt towards the Soviet Red Army.

In addition, it should be mentioned that the U.S. Pacific Fleet and the Huben Navy have made great progress in the past few months. The Sino-U.S. Pacific Joint Fleet already has as many as 55 aircraft carriers.

Among them, the number of aircraft carriers of the Huben Navy reached 12, and with the addition of seven or eight ships, the total number exceeded 50, and the total force also exceeded [-]!

At the same time, the P-61C and P-47N production lines in the United States have also completed their construction tasks and are running at full capacity for mass production.

Relying on the strong industrial strength of the United States, it will not be long before these two powerful new fighter jets should appear in large quantities in the Allied camp, and at that time, the Sino-US Pacific Joint Fleet should also officially launch operations.

As for the Japanese navy, while feeling great pressure, it is also stepping up the construction of the naval fleet, doing its best to produce aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft.

In just a few months, eight new aircraft carriers, six destroyers, and thousands of carrier-based aircraft were launched.

The navies of both sides are fully prepared to prepare for the final life-and-death battle.

At ten o'clock in the morning, in Gaomi, the war room of the Central Headquarters of the Chinese Huben Army, Yang Fan, Miao Dadong, Wang Liguo and others are gathering together at this moment, discussing the current war situation nervously.

Chapter 1480 Take back your fist first

Pointing to the military map, Miao Dadong said, "Boss, according to intelligence, the Japanese army has stockpiled unprecedented technical equipment, and it stands to reason that they already have the strength to launch a counterattack.

However, the Japanese army still focused on defense and focused their defense on the Taihang Mountains in Shanxi and deep areas such as Shijiazhuang, Baoding, and Tianjin. It was clear that they wanted to use the strategic depth to further consume us.

Then they waited for the opportunity to break out from Shanxi to cut off the back of our army, and used their technical and equipment advantages to carry out blitz operations to carry out strategic encirclement and annihilation of our army! "

Ren Yixiong frowned and said: "Yes, as the battle line moves forward, the air supremacy on the battlefield has obviously shifted to the Japanese army, our army's ground attack is not smooth, and the losses suffered are increasing.

If we continue to fight like this, we will suffer a lot, and the situation will become more and more unfavorable. "

"Not only are we facing such problems here, but the Fifth Army and Sixth Army that are fighting far away in Guangdong also have such problems. The casualties and consumption of troops are too great!"

Jiao Xuezhi nodded and said, "Besides, the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Battle and the Western Hubei Battle have ended, and our role in restraining the Japanese military attack has been fully exerted. I think it's time for us to adjust our strategy and tactics!"

The so-called cannon fire is worth ten thousand taels, not to mention the continuous storming for several months. Not only did the frontline troops of the Huben Army suffer tens of thousands of casualties, but the consumption of technical equipment, ammunition, fuel and other materials and equipment was an astronomical figure that ordinary people could hardly imagine.

Even if Yang Fan's family has a big business, with the strong support of Myanmar Industrial Zone, Dongxing Trading Group Company, and Taobao Manor, it is a bit overwhelming.

The reserves of several large military warehouses in Shandong have been decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye these days.

Conversely, the Japanese army's technical equipment and ammunition supply reserves have reached an unprecedented height, and they are already sharpening their swords and preparing to attack the Tiger Army.

At this time, it is true that we should withdraw our fists and feet first and accumulate some strength. At least we must replenish the consumption of materials and restore the level of material reserves, otherwise accidents will easily occur.

"In this case, let's suspend the offensive and switch to the defensive state, and take a rest for a while."

After pondering for a while, Yang Fan nodded, and then said murderously, "But if the devils don't let us stop, and want to take advantage of this opportunity to turn into a counterattack, then we must accompany them to the end and beat them to pieces. Say it again!"

Jiao Xuezhi nodded with a smile and said, "That's natural. Let's switch to a defensive state, so we can still be afraid that the Japanese army will come and attack. We are not afraid of them coming, but we are afraid of them not coming!"

"Haha! Who says it's not, my favorite thing to do is counterattack!"

"That's right, isn't our housekeeping skill just to defend and counterattack!"

"I think back when we were just starting out, the chief led us to fight countless textbook-style defensive battles. Which time didn't the devils bleed profusely?"

"Well, I haven't won such a big victory for many years, so I'm really looking forward to it."

Miao Dadong, Ren Yixiong and other senior generals all showed smiles, and couldn't help but think of the classic battles in which the few defeated the many and the weak defeated the strong, and the milestones in the growth of the Huben Army from weak to strong .

"Okay, as long as you are happy!"

Yang Fan raised his eyebrows. In fact, he hoped that the devils would continue to attack head-on in a foolish way, and then he would get the greatest victory at the least cost.

But obviously this can only be wishful thinking, even though the Japanese army now has an unprecedentedly powerful military force and has produced nearly [-] of the latest fighter jets with all its strength.

Because the devils have already suffered so much at their own hands, how could they choose to be reckless all the time?

Especially after they attacked with all their strength, they found that the Huben army was still the hard bone that couldn't be chewed.

As for showing weakness to the enemy and luring the enemy to go deep?

Let alone, the Huben Army currently doesn't have much strategic space to move around in the country, and it is impossible to open the door and let the devils in. Huo Huo common people.

At most, it is to reduce the intensity of the confrontation, put on an anticlimactic appearance, and the appearance of being hollowed out, making the Japanese army mistakenly think that their own consumption is too high, the technical equipment is seriously consumed, and the ammunition supply cannot keep up.

But even if such a tactic is adopted, it is not only unknown whether the Japanese army will be fooled into repeating the mistakes of the Burma battle, but also this is the Huaxia Kingdom next to Japan, not the former Burma battlefield!

Here, the Japanese army has a strong supply capability and extremely convenient transportation conditions, so it is impossible to leave such a large opening for themselves.

Therefore, in general, Yang Fan still doesn't have much room for strategy. What he has to do is to either use his defensive advantage to fight a war of attrition, or drive the devils out of China bit by bit!

In addition, Yang Fan can only hope that the Pacific battlefield can be fought as soon as possible, and that he can gain the initiative on the battlefield as soon as possible. It is best to research the atomic bomb as soon as possible, and then throw it to the devil's land to blow it upside down.

After all, Mr. Yang is not a tyrant in troubled times, he is just a modern person who loves peace and loves life.

Yang Fan really doesn't like war, especially he really doesn't want to see those young and fresh lives continue to wither on the battlefield, and see the tragic scene of white-haired people giving away black-haired people and their families being destroyed.

The goal Yang Fan is pursuing now is to end the state of war in Huaxia as soon as possible, enter a period of peace and construction as soon as possible, and realize the great national rejuvenation as soon as possible, so that all Chinese people can live and work in peace and contentment!

It's just that "I don't kill, people will kill me", the current Chinese nation and Japanese militarism have long forged a sworn enemy, and it is impossible to make peace before one side is eliminated!

At the same time, as far as the whole world is concerned, the Axis and the Allies are also in conflict. Only when one side is completely defeated can this unprecedented catastrophe in human history end, and the entire human world can return to the theme of peace and development.

Other than that, there is no other way!

After receiving the order from the General Headquarters of the Huben Army to "stop attacking and transfer to rest", in the next two days, all the offensive troops of the Huben Army stopped the offensive, retreated to the forefront defensive area in an orderly manner, and began A frenzy of new defense system construction.

The tree wants to be quiet but the wind keeps blowing, Yang Fan puts his fist back in a very lonely way, and when he intends to take a breather and save some money, the Japanese army can't let Yang Fan fight or stop whenever he wants.

Soon, the Japanese base camp, which had been suffocating for a long time, issued a combat order to attack the Huben Army in an all-round way, and a battle of unprecedented scale began between the Japanese Huaxia Dispatch Army and the Huben Army.

Chapter 1481 Long-term and difficult task

At dawn on November 11, the Japanese army formed a bomber formation with a small number of bombers equipped with a large number of new Rafale fighter jets, and began to launch multiple batches of large-scale air strikes on the Huben Army defense area.

After many night confrontations, the Japanese army clearly realized that the performance of the moonlight night fighter was far behind that of the black widow night fighter.

If they are only defending the homeland, they can also target bombers with much poorer maneuverability, but if they are used for active attack, it is obviously not enough.

Therefore, the Japanese Air Force did not dare to launch a large-scale bombing of the Huben Army defense area at night, so it could only retreat to the next best thing and use lures to compete for air supremacy with the Huben Air Force.

Facing the attack of the Devils Air Force, no matter whether they came for an air strike or an air battle, the Huben Air Force, which had already suffocated, would naturally accompany them to the end.

After receiving the early warning from the ground radar station, the Huben Air Force Command immediately organized a powerful air counterattack.

Pilots of the Huben Army flew P-51D and P-47N fighter jets into the air one after another from various airports, and launched round after round of fierce aerial battles with the Japanese Air Force.

鬼子新式阵风战斗机最高飞行速度685千米/小时,最大实用飞行高度可以高达13000米，最大航程2050千米，配备了4门20mm机炮和2挺13mm机枪。

In addition, the fighter adopts a laminar flow wing design, equipped with automatic air combat flaps, has good armor, and has excellent high-altitude performance. It is very suitable for intercepting B29, and has a long range to be able to escort shore-based bombers. .

The overall performance of this new fighter far exceeds that of the Zero fighter, even compared to the P-708D Mustang fighter with a top speed of 51 km/h, its performance is not much behind.

As a result, the Huben pilots flying the P-51D Mustang fighter faced this new fighter with a much higher degree of difficulty and danger, and they were no longer as relaxed and happy as they used to face the Zero fighter.
