RPAGF #290 - Great Leap Forward
#290 - Great Leap Forward
After readjusting their defensive strategy, the Japanese devils, feeling like the Northeast was already teetering on the brink, began a new retreat strategy, and the relocation of certain equipment in the Northeast was being prepared in full swing.
Out of absolute concern for Tian Huang's safety, the Japanese devils shamelessly broadcasted a message, demanding that the Eighth Route Army not attack civilian cities again!
The honor of soldiers lies in direct confrontation on the battlefield! The implication was that they couldn't be rocketed anymore, especially Dongjing!
But the Japanese devils didn't dare to mention it directly, fearing that the Eighth Route Army would get annoyed and launch a few more!
Hearing the Japanese devils' announcement, the Eighth Route Army gave them two days to evacuate the residential areas!
Ren Zhong saw that the effect had been achieved. There wasn't much left in stock, and the experimental results of the new rockets seemed very ideal. Although he couldn't witness it firsthand, Ren Zhong could imagine the miserable state of the Japanese devils' cities.
However, this was just recovering a little interest. Next, after regaining the lost territory, he would find a way to properly concoct a plan for the Japanese devils.
For now, let's temporarily stop this game of rocketing and toying with the Japanese devils.
At least now, the Japanese devils in Pingjin have been forced to come out of the residential areas, even if they don't have the courage to leave the city and fight, relying on the protection of the city walls to survive inside. They don't have the courage to pull out and engage in a decisive battle with the Eighth Route Army outside the city.
But for the Eighth Route Army, the current situation is tantamount to pronouncing the fate of the Japanese devils.
Through a telegram from an underground intelligence agent in the city, it was confirmed that the Japanese devils had withdrawn from the residential areas, and the division commander immediately launched an attack.
Now, the Japanese devils cannot be given more time to think.
Outside Pingjin, artillery shells rained down on the city towers and walls, blasting the Japanese devils guarding them to wail and scream. The remaining Japanese artillery in the city also tried to counterattack, but it was useless. The number of Japanese artillery, which was disproportionately small, was discovered after firing and then destroyed by mobilizing more artillery!
And the production of rockets must still be ramped up to continue mass production! This game with the Japanese devils is not over yet!
While the division commander was pacifying Pingjin, on the other side, the well-prepared First Attack Group boarded the train and left Shanhaiguan early.
The grand plan to capture the Northeast began.
"Our mission is to open up the Liaoxi Corridor as soon as possible!" In the forward command post of the First Attack Group, the brigade commander pointed to the map, "Of these hundreds of miles, only Jinxi and Jindong are the most important. My plan is to concentrate the four mechanized brigades of the First Attack Group, together with the heavy artillery regiment, to quickly bypass Suizhong and go straight to Jinxi. I will use this jumping method and launch attacks along the line at the same time!"
The brigade commander now has a lot of capital in his hands and is not afraid of the Japanese devils cutting off his retreat.
It is now impossible to advance along the Japanese devils' positions one after another.
That would take too much time. For small strongholds, large-scale mechanized infantry brigades would advance in front, and the Japanese devils in the strongholds would not dare to shoot and provoke them.
In this war, even against an armored regiment, the Japanese devils' firepower has completely lost its advantage. For a mechanized infantry brigade with absolute firepower advantage and tank units, the Japanese devils are even more insignificant.
This time, Li Yunlong was the vanguard. Lao Li was already skilled in commanding the mechanized infantry brigade, and he led the troops forward as soon as the meeting ended.
The tank battalion was the first to clear the way, but the two bulldozers were at the very front!
Obviously, this is a simple mine-clearing method, but it works very well. The mines laid by the Japanese devils on the road were basically detonated one by one by the bulldozers, and then the road surface was quickly leveled!
Using this method, although the speed of the team's advance was slowed down, it was nothing to Li Yunlong. With the bulldozers clearing the way, the team set off in the morning and advanced to Jinxi by 10 pm.
Even without using cloud bombs, the pace of the mechanized infantry brigade's attack is now very fast.
After the heavy artillery regiment and the rocket artillery regiment carried out a covering bombardment of the Japanese devils' positions, the tank battalion began to attack! Using the tanks' powerful protection and direct-fire firepower to advance step by step, the Japanese devils' positions are now really unable to resist.
The T-34 heavy tanks rushing in the front may only be considered medium-sized in the European battlefield, but compared with the Japanese devils' bean tanks and medium tanks, the total weight is twice that of the Japanese devils' medium tanks, and it is indeed considered heavy in the Eastern battlefield. Moreover, the side armor has been strengthened, and the effect of the Japanese devils' current main 37mm anti-tank weapons is almost equal to 0 on this tonnage!
What bunkers and pillboxes are just a matter of one shot in front of the 76mm tank gun, and there is not much suspense at all.
Li Yunlong's attack was like flowing water. Before the brigade commander and the others led the main force all the way by car, Jinxi was easily taken down by the mechanized infantry brigade.
The reconnaissance teams sent out in the early stage continuously transmitted a large amount of intelligence about the railway line strongholds outside Guanwai. This enabled our army to maintain a very strong sense of rhythm for the advancing teams through the railway, taking a train after train and knocking on the Japanese devils' strongholds all the way along the railway! Constantly opening up the passage route of the railway.
When Li Yunlong and the others captured Jinxi, the railway attack team also opened up the road to Jinxi. Soon, a few hours later, an armored regiment was transferred to Jinxi by railway. Li Yunlong handed over Jinxi to this armored regiment, replenished fuel and ammunition, and began to lead the team to continue to attack Jindong!
This is an important strategic location in the Liaoxi Corridor, and the Japanese devils have deployed a brigade to defend it.
Under the protection of the strong city walls, the Japanese devils are prepared to exhaust the Eighth Route Army's weapons and ammunition here.
After all, this is a strong city far superior to Jinxi!
According to this model, Li Yunlong led three mechanized infantry brigades, rushing in the front, and the main force of the First Attack Group advanced along the opened railway line, while another part advanced along the highway, knocking out all the strongholds on both sides of the railway and highway one by one.
Behind them, the Second Attack Group will then go north, continuing to extend along the railway line and the highway to both sides, eliminating all the Japanese devils and puppet troops, and handing them over to the third wave of organizations and local defense forces of the C-type regiment that came to take over.
Wave after wave, the entire routine of attack, occupation, and establishment of new grassroots autonomous organizations is constantly advancing to ensure true occupation.
Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner. The brigade commander and the others, with the main force, basically maintain an advance speed of 50km per day, launching attacks on the county towns and other cities next to the railway line, sweeping all the way. The Japanese devils' defense has always been based on the great bear in the north as the main defense object, and all large-scale fortifications are built on the border line with the great bear.
In this way, the Japanese devils' defense on the corridor from Guannei to Guanwai is like a false set (of course, this is aimed at the powerful artillery offensive. If it is a team without artillery, the countless strongholds along the Japanese devils' line are enough to fight, now there are 75mm mountain guns and even 30 seized Japanese devils 150mm howitzers, the Japanese devils' stronghold is a tortoise shell to be knocked, there is no room for resistance at all).
Under the attack of the First Attack Group, it collapsed and disintegrated, and continued to fight to the city of Jinzhou.
"Chief, our vanguard regiment infiltrated near Jindong and has been carrying out anti-enemy work for a period of time. In Jindong City, we have contacted a regimental commander of the puppet army, who used to be in the same unit as me. After our work, he promised to revolt on the battlefield and open the east gate of Jindong for us."
The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ is ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!
Yu Zhenze, who had moved to Jindong in the early stage, reported excellent news.
Li Yunlong did not have too much prejudice against this old general of the Northeast Army.
"Regimental Commander Yu has worked hard. Our army will rest for one night and launch an attack tomorrow morning. Contact your people to inform the other party that we will attack the east, west, and south directions at the same time, leaving only the north for the Japanese devils to escape out of the city, and annihilate the Japanese devils in the wild. Does the person you contacted now have immediate communication equipment?" Li Yunlong asked.
"Yes, we have secretly sent in a radio."
"We can establish direct contact with the city."
"That's great. I don't ask them to do too much. Just indicate the target of our artillery fire. I hope the radio will remain open to our front line tomorrow when the battle starts."
Inside Jindong City.
A dozen people came to the regimental headquarters of a puppet army regiment, all of whom were company, platoon, and squad leaders of the regiment.
"Brothers, this is the situation.
Now the Eighth Route Army's momentum is much stronger than the Japanese devils. The Kwantung Army has been wiped out by the Eighth Route Army in North China by more than 500,000!
It can be said that the Northeast is no longer the world of the Japanese devils.
If we miss this opportunity, we will basically have no next chance to continue eating.
I believe you all know the defense situation in Jinxi. It took the Eighth Route Army only about 2 days to wipe out the Japanese devils!
The Japanese devils have been deceiving us, saying that they have won victory after victory against the Eighth Route Army, but today, everyone has seen that the Eighth Route Army has already attacked under our noses. What kind of victory is this Japanese devil?!
The current Eighth Route Army is no longer the original Eighth Route Army. They have more artillery than the Japanese devils, more fierce firepower, and stronger tanks. The attack is extremely sharp. Our Jindong City cannot be defended. If we don't revolt, we will also become cannon fodder for the Japanese devils. I have had enough of such days."
Ma Tiancheng, the regimental commander of the puppet army guarding near the east gate of Jindong, stared at the dozen or so backbones under his command and said indignantly.
