If you listen and analyze carefully, you can indeed learn a lot about the current situation of the Chinese Huben Army, but that's all.

Because, Yang Fan is not a fool, how could he foolishly publish useful and confidential information to the public through the radio station, at most for the purpose of boosting morale and showing off his muscles and background.

Seeing that Ishihara Wan'er's face was not very good-looking, Yoshimoto Sadaichi, Chief of Staff of the Kwantung Army asked with concern: "Your Excellency, Marshal, are you too tired.

It's getting late now, and the weather is cold, why don't you go to bed earlier? "

Ishihara waved his hands with a smile and said, "I'm not sleepy now, and I can't fall asleep, Mr. Yoshimoto, if you're not sleepy, can you chat with me? I'm a little upset right now."

"Hayi! It is a great honor for me to be able to have a long conversation with His Majesty the Marshal, and to solve his problems and problems."

Faced with this reasonable and small request from his immediate boss, Yoshimoto Teiichi naturally had no reason not to agree, and immediately showed a flattered look.

Ishihara Waner let out a long breath and said, "Mr. Yoshimoto, can you tell me something from your heart, in your opinion, what chance does the Great Japanese Empire still have?"

"this!"

Yoshimoto Sada was immediately stunned. I never expected Ishihara Waner to ask such a difficult question as soon as he opened his mouth, which was far beyond his ability.

Ishihara Wanji didn't seem to see Yoshimoto Teiichi's embarrassment, and then broke the casserole and asked: "Yoshimoto-kun, how long do you think the Great Japanese Empire can last?"

"this!"

Yoshimoto Sadaichi didn't know how to answer at all. After being stunned for a while, he could only answer in an official tone, "Your Excellency, the Great Japanese Empire is now in full swing and has all kinds of inexhaustible war resources. I firmly believe that the Great Japanese The empire will last forever!"

"is it?"

Ishihara frowned and asked, "Jimoto-kun, do you see that the German allies are gradually collapsing?

First, the African battlefield was defeated like a mountain and could only hide in the Tunisian highlands to survive, and now the European Eastern Front battlefield is gradually collapsing.

The Soviet Union is becoming stronger at an unprecedented speed. The so-called centipede is dead but not stiff. I am afraid that not only the nightmare of the German allies has begun, but also a nightmare of the Great Japanese Empire will begin. "

Hearing this, Yoshimoto Teiichi finally knew what Ishihara Wanji was worried about, and asked very worriedly: "Your Excellency, Marshal, do you mean that the Soviet Red Army will soon counterattack the Far East?"

Ishihara smiled wryly and said: "If the German allies are really defeated and the Soviets will fight back to the Far East, it is a certainty, so what's the point?"

"what?"

Yoshimoto Sadaichi let out a soft breath, and asked anxiously, "Doesn't that mean that the Japanese Empire will be attacked on three sides? And our Kwantung Army elites have all fallen to North China and South China. If the Soviet Union fights back now, don't we say it's very difficult?" Dangerous?"

Ishihara smiled and sighed: "That's right, within a year and a half at the latest, the Japanese Empire will be attacked on three sides! The Soviets are so terrible, they survived like this!"

Yoshimoto Sadaichi frowned and said, "That's right, the Japanese Empire shouldn't have had small calculations back then, it should have moved westward and cooperated with the German allies to completely wipe out the Soviet Union, so no matter what, the Axis Alliance would not be reduced to what it is today This level!"

Ishihara Waner sighed again and said, "What's the use of saying this now? Is there any regret medicine in this world that can't be sold?"

Yoshimoto Sadaichi asked in an expectant tone: "Then, do we still have a chance to march westward to attack the Soviet Union?"

Ishihara shook his head helplessly and said: "The opportunity must not be missed, the Soviet Red Army has become extremely powerful, and it is no longer an existence that the Imperial Japanese Army can contend with.

Besides, where does the Empire of Japan still have troops to attack the Soviet Union?Even if there is, His Majesty the Emperor and the base camp will not allow this! "

Yoshimoto Teiichi was a little anxious: "Your Excellency Marshal, what should we do now? The security of the Far East is related to the fate of the Empire of Japan. We must deal with it?"

Ishihara smiled and said in a deep voice: "The only thing we can do now is to continue to train soldiers, train elite soldiers, and continue to arm the Kwantung Army with the best capabilities.

In addition, we can only hope that the United Fleet of the Empire of Japan and the Southern Expeditionary Force can last for a longer period of time in the Pacific battlefield. "

Speaking of this, Ishihara Waner was very heartbroken. Over the years, the Kwantung Army has always been a monk of the Tang Dynasty. Whenever he finally gets out of his muscles, he will be remembered and forcibly emptied of his family.

And since the last time he dispatched troops to the Far East, the emperor and the base camp have been on guard against him, and all kinds of technical equipment have basically been transferred away after they were produced.

Now the Kwantung Army under Ishihara Waner's command is either a recruit or a servant army from Taiwan and North Korea, and its combat effectiveness and fighting will are far from enough.

Therefore, Ishihara Waner was really worried that the Soviet Red Army would suddenly send troops to the Far East to avenge it. In that case, it would not be long before not only the Far East would be expelled, but even Manchuria would be in danger.

In a flash of time, it came to February 2, which is the sixteenth day of the first lunar month.

According to the original plan, after a comfortable New Year's Eve, the Huaxia Huben Army finally started a new journey again.

In the early morning of this day, the six armies of the Huben Army launched a large-scale air strike against the Japanese troops in Hebei, Anhui, Jiangsu, and Guangdong in six directions, kicking off the second round of comprehensive strategic counteroffensive.

Chapter 1515 The military spirit is available

In the early morning of March 1943, 3, the battle hall of the 5rd Army Headquarters of the Huben Army in Zhao County.

After half a month of continuous attack, the 3rd Army has gone through countless bloody battles, conquered more than [-] towns in one go, and finally pushed the front line to the vicinity of Shijiazhuang and formed a three-sided encirclement.

Zhao County is only 40 kilometers away from Shijiazhuang. After it was recovered the day before yesterday, in order to facilitate the command of the Shijiazhuang campaign, Wu Kexiang decided to move the headquarters of the group army to this place.

On the basis of the original headquarters of the Japanese army, after two days of urgent repair and transformation, this temporary headquarters is small and complete, and it looks like one thing.

At this moment, Wu Kexiang, Commander of the 3rd Army of the Huben Army, Ye Chenmin, Chief of Staff, Xie Kangquan, Commander of the 7th Army, Zhang Zhenshu, Commander of the 8th Army, Dong Zhehong, Commander of the 9th Army, and other senior officers are looking at the electronic screen on the wall with great interest.

What was shown on the screen was not an entertainment movie, but a real-time video of the Shijiazhuang Japanese defense positions transmitted by the drone.

Shijiazhuang, also known as Shimen, is located at the intersection of Shide (Shijiazhuang-Dezhou), Pinghan (Peking-Hankou) and Zhengtai (Zhengding-Taiyuan) railways, and is a strategic location in North China.

Over the years, under the increasingly powerful military pressure of the Chinese Huben Army, the Japanese army began to overhaul fortifications in Hebei a long time ago, especially in important strategic towns such as Shijiazhuang, Baoding, and Cangzhou.

So far, on the basis of the fortifications built by the former national army, the Japanese army has formed a very complete ring defense system after years of repairs.

From the outskirts of the city to the center of the city, three defensive positions were set up with the outer city ditch 8 meters wide and 6 meters deep, the inner city ditch 5 meters wide and 6000 meters deep, and the main buildings in the urban area, with a total of more than [-] large and small bunkers. indivual.

There are 12 armored vehicles on the circular railway between the inner and inner cities and a tank division, which can be used for mobile operations.

The northeast of the city is supported by the commanding heights of Yunpanshan, and the northwest has a military airport for air support.

As for the fortifications such as bunkers, tunnels, and air defense bunkers hidden in the dark, there are naturally countless.

The Japanese army stationed in Shijiazhuang has more than 7 people in three Japanese army divisions, two of which are former Kwantung Army divisions with strong combat effectiveness.

It is not difficult to see from it that the Japanese army has taken the weight and made up their minds to defend Shijiazhuang to the death, and to fight an endless urban street battle with the Chinese Huben Army here.

The Japanese army tried in vain to turn Shijiazhuang into a meat grinder and a flesh mill, and by virtue of urban street fighting, it greatly consumed the vital strength of the Chinese Huben Army.

"Shijiazhuang has an extremely important strategic position. As long as it is occupied, it will not only remove a strategic point of the Japanese army in North China, but also provide a solid and incomparable fulcrum for the Japanese invaders who further attack Shanxi and North China!"

When everyone had finished watching, Wu Kexiang cleared his throat and began to speak, "But at the same time, the Japanese army will never give up such a strategic location easily. They not only built an extremely solid and complete defense system, but also At least 4 Kwantung Army with tenacious fighting will and fierce style.

These devil veterans are deeply poisoned by Bushido. In a sense, they are a group of ruthless war machines, so they will definitely stick to the end, use all conditions to deal with us, and try their best to kill us! . "

"Therefore, I don't need to say more, everyone should know that recovering Shijiazhuang is an extremely glorious historical mission, and it will also be an extremely difficult combat mission. The time has finally come for everyone to test our army!"

After Wu Kexiang's words fell, Xie Kangquan, commander of the 7th Army, said in a loud voice: "Please rest assured, Commander, all the soldiers of our 7th Army have already made full preparations. As long as you give an order, we promise to complete the battle resolutely and thoroughly." Task!"

Zhang Zhenshu, the commander of the 8th Army, also quickly agreed: "That's right, raising troops for a thousand days and using them for a short period of time. Now that we have the right time, place and people, no matter how crazy the devils are, they will only die in the end!"

Dong Zhehong, commander of the Ninth Army, followed up and said: "Please rest assured, Commander, we will never embarrass you. Our Third Army will definitely fight a beautiful battle against the city and pull this fang out of the devil's mouth." !"

Chief of Staff Ye Chenmin also answered with a smile at this time: "Well, I also firmly believe that we will undoubtedly win this tough battle, no matter how crazy the devils are, they can only meet with failure and death.

Now the situation at home and abroad is very good, we will soon be completely victorious, brothers, let's work hard together! "

"Very good, the military spirit is available!"

Wu Kexiang nodded happily, and then said seriously, "This is the first large-scale city battle since the establishment of our group army. Not only the chief is watching us, but all the brother troops are also watching us!

We have air supremacy and a variety of the most advanced weapons and equipment, which can be said to have an absolute advantage, so I have never doubted or worried about the victory of this battle.

But what I want to say is that we need a hearty and beautiful victory, not a miserable victory in which one thousand enemies are killed and eight hundred are lost. Do you understand what I mean? "

"Understood! Use the least price for the greatest victory!"

"Please rest assured, Commander, we know what to do!"

"Guaranteed to capture Shijiazhuang beautifully!"

Xie Kangquan and Zhang Zhenshu nodded seriously, and they naturally knew the people-oriented philosophy of the Huaxia Huben Army, and they would never use the blood of soldiers to fill their credit books with reckless tactics of beating a sea of ​​people!

"Very good! Next, I will announce the combat missions of each department!"

Wu Kexiang nodded, then looked at Xie Kangquan and said, "The 7th Army's southwest and west will be the main attack!"

Xie Kangquan immediately stood up and said, "Yes! I promise to complete the task!"

"Ah."

Wu Kexiang then looked at Zhang Zhenshu and said, "The 8th Army launched an attack from the northwest, and was responsible for building a defensive position in Huolu County, ready to block the reinforcements from Shanxi!"

"Yes! Guaranteed to complete the task!"

Zhang Zhenshu immediately stood up and took orders.

"Ah."

Wu Kexiang went on to say, "The Ninth Army is responsible for assisting from the southeast and east directions, and is responsible for building defensive positions between Dingxian County and Xinle, preparing to block the reinforcements from the direction of Baoding!"

"Yes!"

Dong Zhehong stood up and took the order!

"Okay! The time for the general attack is set at five o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow. Now you can split up and arrange operations separately!"

After speaking the main points, Wu Kexiang didn't write any ink, and immediately gave the rest of the time to the three of them, allowing them to play freely.

The three of Xie Kangquan are all senior generals who have been promoted through hard work, and they are very good at specific strategies and tactics, and they are all army commanders, and each has a set of staff and think tanks.

Therefore, there is really no need for Wu Kexiang to personally test each one. As the commander of the group army, he only needs to outline and arrange the overall strategic tasks.

Chapter 1516

At three o'clock in the morning on March 3, before dawn, the sky near Shijiazhuang was buzzing with motors.

"Haha, here we come, our bomber is here!"

"Finally, this moment has come. Brothers, eat quickly. When our Air Force bombing is over, it's our turn to go!"

"Hey, our Huben Air Force is amazing! It's cool!"

"Well, some time ago, the little devil aggressively mobilized thousands of planes to attack us, and the result? Didn't he get beaten to the bum by our air force in the end?"

"Yes, with the escort of our air force, our army doesn't have to be afraid of the indiscriminate bombing by devil planes! In this way, relying on the things in our hands, beating devils is not the same as grandpa beating grandson!"

"Okay, hurry up and get down to business, pack up quickly, and be ready to fight at any time!"

"Yes!"

And when they heard the roar of the plane, the officers and soldiers of the Huben Army stationed in various positions around Shijiazhuang, whether they were sleeping in the barracks or on guard duty, all seemed to hear the charge horn, and all of them were excited and geared up. .

"Woo~woo~woo~"

"Baga! Damn it, Huaxia bombers are coming soon!"

"Empire warriors, hurry up and hide!"

"All the anti-aircraft artillery units immediately enter the gun positions, and hit them hard in a while! Blast all these damn Huaxia planes down!"

On the other side, all the faces of the Japanese army changed drastically, as if they heard the soul chasing cannon, all the ghost soldiers panicked, and ran to the nearest bomb shelters and air-raid shelters in a hurry.

Although there is still plenty of time, none of them dare to waste a second.

More than ten minutes later, a huge formation of bombers flew over Shijiazhuang.

At this time, the Japanese anti-aircraft guns hidden in various places fired wildly without showing any weakness, and the shells shot straight into the sky.

Boom boom boom, after a while, these anti-aircraft shells continued to explode at high altitude, as if setting off fireworks, welcoming the arrival of the Huben Air Force.

Facing the bombardment of the devil's anti-aircraft artillery group, the brave Huben army pilots of Yigao were not afraid. When they arrived at the destination, they pressed the button to open the ammunition warehouse.

Choo Choo Choo,

Heavy aerial bombs fell from the sky for no money, and the sharp screams resounded through the sky, as if a group of demons from hell were tearing at the nerves of the devil soldiers, making them feel deep fear and despair.

Boom boom boom, it didn't take long before these heavy aerial bombs with bases of hundreds of kilograms fell to the ground and blossomed one after another. The insane explosive power formed waves of overpressure shock waves, bursting out clusters of bright flames. Continuously rising black clouds.

These heavy aerial bombs include high-explosive bombs, sulfur bombs, and napalm bombs. Various explosion effects are mixed together to form multiple killing effects.

The ground trembled in the meantime, and various surface buildings, fortifications, houses, and vegetation were the first to bear the brunt. Houses and buildings continued to explode. The red spiders became dilapidated, until finally collapsed and destroyed, becoming a piece of ruins and rubble. .

In the explosion, groups of raging flames burned rapidly, and the choking billowing smoke formed an airtight world of smoke in an instant.

The town, which looked very prosperous and prosperous before, was destroyed in the flames of war in an instant, and turned into ruins, extremely miserable!

There is no way around this. Now that the Japanese army is entrenched in these fortified cities, they are trying to rely on the city buildings to resist and cause unbearable casualties to the Tiger Army attacking them.

Under such circumstances, it is absolutely impossible for Yang Fan to keep his hand, and he can only carry out carpet saturation bombing to destroy the devil's fortifications to the greatest extent.

Although Yang Fan knew that maybe after another two or three years, the Americans would come from the Pacific Ocean, or the American atomic bombs would come out.

At that time, two mushroom clouds will be planted in two places in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and perhaps the devils can be directly persuaded and educated, and these occupied Chinese lands can be recovered "without bloodshed".

However, it is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself. Victory and respect do not come by sitting and waiting!
