Chapter 118 The mountains and rivers of Fujian and Jiangxi are all red
(This story is purely fictitious, please do not imitate it!)
Each main division of the Red Army has a tank regiment, equipped with 96 T-12 light assault tanks. Although it is called a light assault tank, its armor thickness is also ahead of the tanks of most countries at this time.
If there are students who do not understand the power of nearly 300 T-12 assault tanks in the three main divisions, then there is a historical fact that can illustrate the strategic position of the tanks on the battlefield.
In the 1937 Battle of Songhu, the Japanese army deployed a total of 300,000 troops and a huge naval fleet in Shanghai, but its tanks and aircraft were only 200 and 200 respectively. During World War II, Japan's tank and tank troops were recognized as
I can’t rank it, but neither the gcd troops nor the Kuomintang troops were able to effectively deliver a devastating blow to the Japanese army in the decisive battle. The important reason is that we simply cannot effectively restrain the Japanese tank and mechanized troops.
.
In later literary and artistic works, plots of using cluster grenades, explosive packs, blasting tubes and other weapons to blow up enemy tanks often appear. This kind of plot has indeed happened in wars and has achieved certain results. However, it is like using a rifle or ordinary machine gun.
Just like masturbating, there are too many random factors. Even if you succeed, it will be just as difficult as winning the five million lottery jackpot.
Therefore, although the enemies on the Western Front have fortifications, trenches, etc. to rely on, and although each integrated division also has a 75mm mountain artillery battalion, when the battle begins, the first thing to be destroyed is precisely these things that the national army regards as treasures and treasures.
The battle continued until 12 o'clock in the evening. In the direction of Longyan, more than half of the 30,000 troops of the enemy's 52nd Division Lu Xingbang and the enemy's reorganized 4th Division Lengxin's troops had been lost. The Red Army's independent column tank troops forcibly advanced 5 kilometers.
.
In the direction of Yong'an, Huang Jie's unit of the national army's reorganized 2nd division had already lost a brigade, and Li Yutang, the enemy's reorganized 3rd division, had lost another brigade.
By 2 o'clock in the night, four hours after the battle started, no matter the eastern or western front, all the national troops in contact with the independent columns were no longer organized into regiments and camps. The national troops either could not find officers, or they could not find officers.
Without troops, the trend of great defeat is inevitable!
At 5 o'clock in the morning on February 7, the 4th Combat Group took the lead in making achievements. Zhang Binxian of the 4th Marine Division was formally established and annihilated the enemy's reorganized Xinfeng Division. Xie Bofu's corps of the 5th Marine Division was formally annihilated.
The 12th Division Tang Weiyuan's troops defeated the enemy's reorganized 13th Division Wan Yaohuang's troops.
However, don’t think that the combat achievements of Zhang Binxian’s division are small, because Zhang Binxian’s division has 5 regiments, and when he attacked Xinfeng Xie Bofu’s division, he only used the 1st Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Regiment, and Tank Regiment of the 5th Marine Division
The 1st Battalion, the Heavy Artillery Battalion of the Artillery Regiment, and other troops had already launched an attack on the enemy's 24th Division Huang Zixian's headquarters in Longnan and Dingnan at the same time when the whole army started! In fact, this was indeed the case. At 6 o'clock in the morning, the 3rd Marine Division
When the news came from Yang Guiqing's troops of the 1st Division and Liu Xijun's troops of the 1st Heavy Artillery Brigade Regiment that Ganzhou had been captured, news of success also came from Dingnan and Longnan at the same time.
Yang Guiqing's mission this time was the most difficult. He faced not only a large city in southern Ganxi, but also the enemy's reorganized 19th Division and the reorganized 15th Division. Both divisions were He Jian's ace troops. In addition, there was a 23
Li Yunjie of the division, although the strategy of the latter division is not very good, but as the so-called ants kill the elephant, Yang Guiqing only has 30,000 troops. It is indeed not easy to defend the more than 50,000 enemy elite troops relying on the defense of the big city. The most important thing is
The important thing is that this battle cannot be a stalemate and must be fought quickly. If the battle lasts more than 24 hours, other enemy reorganized divisions near Ganzhou will be able to return to the rescue in time. At that time, the 1st Marine Division will be extremely vulnerable.
It's possible that a few enemy organizers made dumplings.
But the 1st Marine Division is indeed worthy of the title of "First Division", and Yang Guiqing is also worthy of the first general of the independent column. At the beginning of the battle, Yang Guiqing suggested using only one company of tanks, that is, 8 T-12s
, and simultaneously cooperated with the soldiers of the two companies to launch a tentative attack on Ganzhou.
The first result of this tentative attack was the enemy's exposed 82mm mortar position and 20mm machine gun unit. Then, Yang Guiqing continued to "show weakness" with two companies of 60mm mortars and close-range shooting from tanks.
A duel was launched with the enemy's artillery, and the enemy's 82nd artillery position was completely wiped out with the loss of 2 tanks.
At this time, the enemy couldn't resist anymore and finally used 75mm mountain cannon. As soon as the enemy's mountain cannon appeared, the tank troops pretended to be defeated and retreated. At this time, the enemy thought that the Red Army only had this ability, so all 75mm mountain cannons opened fire.
We wanted to keep our entire tank company, but of course, the enemy "left" two more tanks of ours.
"Fire!" Su Yu, who had been angry for a long time, saw that all the enemy's trump cards were revealed, and immediately ordered all the 75mm or above artillery of the 1st Heavy Artillery Brigade Regiment and the 1st Marine Division to launch retaliatory attacks on the three artillery positions at the same time.
Shelling!
A heavy artillery brigade regiment has 24 150mm cannons, plus a heavy artillery battalion in the artillery regiment has 8 150mm cannons. This kind of heavy artillery that cannot be effectively restrained at present has a total of 32 guns, and its range is as high as more than 12 kilometers.
If ignored, these 32 heavy artillery pieces alone could easily wipe Ganzhou off the map.
The power of 32 150 heavy artillery pieces and 105 howitzers silenced all the enemy artillery in just two rounds of shelling. Afterwards, when the Red Army soldiers were cleaning the battlefield, they couldn't believe it. The enemy artillery positions were all two to three meters deep and more than ten meters deep.
In the wide crater, the enemy's artillery was all broken into parts, and there was no complete corpse of the enemy artillery.
When the soldiers of the heavy artillery brigade saw their results, they couldn't help but sigh: Artillery is not only the god of war, but also the devil on the battlefield!
At 8 o'clock in the morning on February 7, after a night of unprecedented fierce fighting, on the Longyan front on the eastern front, the 5th Marine Division and the Armored Brigade of the Independent Column not only completely annihilated the enemy's 4th Reorganized Army Division and the 52nd Army Division's Lu Xingbang Department, but also
After advancing the front line by 60 kilometers, the forward troops of our armored forces were less than 20 kilometers away from Zhangzhou (Longxi).
On the Yong'an front line on the eastern front, the 2nd Marine Division of the Independent Column, the 3rd Heavy Artillery Brigade Regiment, the Light Infantry Regiment, the 3rd Air Defense Brigade Regiment, the Light Infantry Regiment, the Yong'an Guard Brigade and other units, with the cooperation of the Air Force, not only captured Sanming in one fell swoop
, Shaxian County, the Li Yutang Department of the 3rd Army Division was completely annihilated, and the Huang Jie Department of the 2nd Army Division was basically annihilated. Our forward troops are only fifteen kilometers away from the enemy in Nanping, and they maintain an attacking posture at any time!
On the western front, Anyuan County in southern Jiangxi was easily captured by the Jiaoling Guard Regiment of our Meizhou Guard Brigade. Judging from the map, only a few counties in southern Jiangxi near Hunan and Guangdong are still in the hands of the national army.
"What are the losses of our armored forces?" Wu Aihua asked, staring at the map in a mountain village in Xingan County.
"The total loss is less than one battalion. It's just that after a night of fierce charging and fighting, the tank needs maintenance." Fu Lin, director of the staff department, replied. Wu Aihua likes to take Fu Lin with him wherever he goes now. In Wu Aihua's plan, Fu Lin will be responsible for it in the future.
Responsible.
"Pass me an order: First, all ministries should seize the time to personalize and repair equipment. At 1 p.m., start the second phase of Operation Thunder. The slogan is: Operation Thunder, liberate Fujian and Jiangxi! Second, the first combat group is taking over Zhangzhou and Xiamen.
After that, continue to attack in the direction of Quanzhou and Fuzhou! Third, after the Second Combat Group has captured Nanping, attack northward, and must control the entire northern Fujian in my hands! Fourth, the Third Combat Group has 4 Jiexi garrison brigades.
The regiment immediately headed north and, together with the Meizhou Garrison Brigade, quickly controlled the southern Gansu area and the areas about to be liberated in Gan Province! The Longyan Garrison Brigade and the Yong'an Garrison Brigade were responsible for controlling the areas newly occupied by our field troops in their respective directions, effectively maintaining social order, and clearing out
The few remaining troops of the national army!
5. The Third Combat Group was divided into two. Among them, Yang Guiqing of the 1st Marine Division, Zhang Binxian of the 4th Marine Division, and the 1st Regiment of the Heavy Artillery Brigade continued to retain the title of the Third Combat Group. Comrade Su Yu continued to serve as the leader of the cluster and held on tightly.
He Jian's main force will annihilate He Jian's troops until they reach Hunan! Qian Minghui's troops of the 3rd Marine Division and the 1st Regiment of the Air Defense Brigade formed the fifth combat group and quickly set off from all directions along Xingguo, Fuzhou, Yingtan, and Shangrao
Advance the regional attack! The Second Combat Group must cooperate closely with the Fifth Combat Group and try to keep the main force of Chen Cheng’s troops in our base area as much as possible!”
"Sixth, the Air Force only left one fighter squadron and one bomber squadron on guard in eastern Guangdong. The remaining Air Force fighters immediately flew to the front line to provide air support!"
"Yes!" Fu Linji ordered very quickly. Wu Aihua finished dictating, and Fu Lin had already finished memorizing it. After repeating it again to confirm that it was correct, he turned around and left.
Don't you like to fight civil war, Chiang Kai-shek? I, Wu Aihua, will fight with you, and I will fight with you once. You, Chiang Kai-shek, steal national weapons without thinking about national security or national interests, and show off your power with the help of a few soldiers. I, Wu Aihua, will now fight with you.
Now that your soldiers have been wiped out, let’s see what you can do with them!
The reason why Wu Aihua issued the order alone was not because he did not want collective leadership. The independent column annihilated 7 enemy army reorganized divisions and annihilated two ordinary divisions overnight, while our army's total casualties were less than 10,000. It started so well, who could
The command is similar. Moreover, when the battle situation reaches this level, the column headquarters has already conducted sand table drills and war games. As long as this situation occurs, Wu Aihua can independently decide the direction of the subsequent stage of the battle. And Xiang Y and Chen Y
The two of them sat in Longyan, first to coordinate the relationship between the front and the rear, and second to study the issue of integrating the base areas after capturing Fujian and Jiangxi, and whether to invite the central government to go south.
In fact, in last night's battle, the troops were not as tired as expected. Especially in the battle of Ganzhou, even when the siege was the most fierce, Su Yu and Yang Guiqing only went to one main battalion to attack the enemy in turns. There were heavy artillery.
Opening the way with chariots and being at the forefront of the battlefield does not really require too many soldiers.
Therefore, the orders issued by Wu Aihua did not increase the burden on the troops. On the contrary, they were like giving blood to chickens. Letters of determination and petitions from the troops flew around like snowflakes.
(Today’s third update has been completed. The king’s manuscript is now over. From now on, there will be one chapter after another. Red Army soldiers, the God of War is eager for your support, and the king is also eager for your support!)
