As for the progress of the battle on the battlefield in other directions, Wang Guangyu has very detailed information here. It can be said that almost everything that should be included is included. In order to allow Wang Guangyu, who is currently in charge of the Western Manchuria operation, to have a more detailed understanding of the entire battlefield situation, more
To cope with the changes in the situation well, Yang Zhen specifically asked the headquarters to send Wang Guangyu detailed information on the progress of the battles on other battlefields every day since the outflanking of the troops.
At the same time, in order to maintain communications for large-scale roundabout operations, the headquarters has specially equipped Wang Guangyu's roundabout troops with several dedicated communication vehicles with their own power supplies. Each of these communication vehicles is equipped with three to five high-power radio stations.
It can receive wireless telegrams from any direction 24 hours a day without interruption.
With these communication vehicles, Wang Guangyu can directly maintain smooth communication with the Harbin headquarters. If necessary, he can even directly contact Tao Jingfei's headquarters on the Western Front. Therefore, Wang Guangyu can learn about the war in other directions at the first time
Progress. The information he provides here is very flexible.
After the combat staff received the enemy situation report from the headquarters, Wang Guangyu looked carefully at each one again. In his mind, he was constantly calculating the progress of the battle situation on several other battlefields, especially the current battle north of Xinjing.
The progress of the war. In Wang Guangyu's view, the most important battlefield at the moment is not Ximan where he is located, but north of Xinjing.
As long as the anti-alliance offensive on the Xinjing battlefield has not stopped and the danger in Xinjing has not been eliminated, the Japanese troops in Fengtian and Jilin will not dare to easily move westward for reinforcements. Unless there is any change in the direction of Xinjing? But in the 20th century
If the Third Division was not waiting for reinforcements, then what was the reason for them to adopt the current formation?
If the Japanese were like this, then this war wouldn't be so difficult to fight. You must know that the 23rd Division can create three-foot waves no matter what, and one regiment dares to fight against hundreds of Soviet tanks.
Is it possible for a tyrannical leader to allow them to form this turtle-shaped lineup without some hidden agenda?
Judging from the battle report sent by the headquarters, Ma Chunsheng's troops on the battlefield north of Xinjing have completed the plan to forcibly cross the Songhua River and are moving towards the Dehui and Jiutai front lines. Although several troops on the eastern front are located in mountainous areas
The battle did not progress very smoothly, but it also restricted the Japanese troops from the east of Xinjing to the China-North Korea border and could not move eastward.
To the north, Du Kaishan's troops finally broke through the defenses of the Japanese 71st Division on the Nanxing'an line after several hard battles. They divided the entire 71st Division into three sections and completed the battle with the troops advancing westward from Fuyu.
The 71st Division was encircled. Chen Hanzhang's troops were approaching the Japanese army in the important towns of Kailu and Tongliao in Western Manchuria.
As long as Kailu and Tongliao are captured, it will be equivalent to cutting off the entire channel for the Japanese troops in Jilin to reinforce the battlefield in Western Manchuria. At that time, even if the 23rd Division here wants to play any tricks, it will not be able to do it. He is a division.
, no matter how many troops are assigned, facing the flanking attack of two armored brigades and two divisions, I am afraid that they will not be able to survive this day.
At least judging from the current situation, the Anti-Union offensive is currently progressing quite smoothly. However, Wang Guangyu always has a vague feeling that something is wrong with the current overall battle situation. He didn't notice it before he looked carefully. But now he looks carefully.
After reviewing the battle situation on other battlefields again, he felt something was amiss when related to the progress of the war on his side.
But there was something wrong. He didn't feel it for the moment. He just felt vaguely in his heart that the current battlefield situation was somewhat abnormal. Where are Jiutai and Dehui? They are the two major gateways to the north of Xinjing. Jiutai was lost.
This means that the front line to the north of Xinjing is no longer dangerous.
The current situation on the Xinjing battlefield is obviously unfavorable to the Japanese army. However, the Japanese army in Fengtian shows no signs of taking action in the face of the current unfavorable situation of the Japanese army. Is it true that the Japanese army is going to trade space for casualties of the Anti-Alliance and use
The original fortifications, a strategy to gradually consume the strength of the Anti-Japanese Alliance?
Just when Wang Guangyu was puzzled by the situation in front of him, he suddenly saw a report from the headquarters on the latest status of the Kwantung Army. In addition to the original strength of the Kwantung Army Aviation Corps, the Kwantung Army had
A large number of so-called standard heavy bombers, the Type 97 heavy bombers, have been concentrated in the northeastern mainland and the battlefields in Guannai, as well as various airports in the northeast.
These so-called heavy bombers not only include aircraft belonging to the original Kwantung Army aviation and the Chinese dispatched troops on the Kwantung Civil War, but also aircraft transferred from Japan and even Taiwan. Moreover, according to the information transferred from the central government, the original Kwantung Army aircraft were stationed in the Kwantung Army.
Some of the Japanese army and navy heavy bombers from Wuhan that participated in the air raid on Chongqing are also gradually moving to the northeast and northern Korea.
Among them are not only bombers belonging to the Army Air Force, but also two Type 96 heavy bomber teams belonging to the Naval Air Force. And according to the limited information currently available, there are still a large number of Japanese troops among the bombers mobilized by the Japanese army.
The latest bomber.
There are even two types of bombers that have just begun mass production and have only been equipped to the army, as well as a new type of fighter jet. According to the information transferred from the headquarters, the total output of these new types of aircraft is less than
Sixty. In other words, these aircraft were very valuable to the Japanese army.
Especially for the Japanese Army, which has always lagged behind the Navy in terms of replacement speed and equipment performance of new aircraft, being able to make such a big move is, if not unprecedented, at least unprecedented. The Japanese have always been stingy, especially
Because the update speed of new equipment is relatively slow, it has always been difficult to put the latest equipment into the Chinese battlefield.
At the same time, in order to protect the Zhonglong Railway Line, the Japanese army deployed a large number of anti-aircraft guns of various calibers along the Zhonglong Railway, as well as the Army's latest fighter jets. In particular, the number of anti-aircraft guns was almost one more than the anti-aircraft guns originally equipped by the Kwantung Army.
times, and a variety of calibers are available.
There are not only the Type 88 anti-aircraft guns, the main force of the Japanese Army, but also a large number of 25mm small-caliber anti-aircraft guns and some anti-aircraft machine guns. According to the enemy situation report, the number of anti-aircraft guns currently transferred to the Northeast by the Japanese army can be said to be equivalent to the high-end equipment of the Japanese Army.
Nearly half of the total number of guns. Some are even anti-aircraft guns equipped by the navy.
In order to ensure as much as possible the current lifeline of the Kwantung Army, the Zhongchang Railway, and to protect the safety of forwarding materials, the Japanese army even deployed part of the two anti-aircraft artillery regiments deployed in Tokyo for the capital's air defense. For the Japanese army
, the empire itself will never be attacked. At this point, the Japanese base camp is quite confident.
Instead of letting those anti-aircraft artillery regiments sit in the sun outside Tokyo and do nothing all day long. The situation in Manchuria is tense and there is an urgent need for a large number of anti-aircraft artillery troops to participate in the war. It is better to transfer them to Manchuria for emergency response. After the battle is over, they can then transfer them back.
, anyway, Tokyo won’t need it for a while. The Japanese army paid so much attention to it, which made Wang Guangyu smell the difference even more.
Although he did not know the performance of the two new bombers mobilized by the Japanese army, he still had an idea of the performance and combat radius of the Type 97 heavy bomber, which was currently the main heavy bomber equipped by the Kwantung Army aviation force and even the Japanese Army aviation force.
Generally understood.
Because among the imaginary enemy forces established by the aviation force, there were several Type 97 heavy bombers that had been retired from the aviation force after the arrival of a large number of better-performing American and Soviet bombers. They were specially used as Japanese bombers to train new pilots in attack tactics.
He is not unfamiliar with the performance of the Type 96 bomber, the main bomber of the Japanese Navy.
As early as the day when the Anti-Japanese Alliance obtained its first aircraft and captured its first Japanese pilot, Yang Zhen required senior generals, whether in the army or the aviation force, to have a rough estimate of the bomb load and combat radius of various Japanese light and heavy bombers.
Although the aviation force cannot yet determine the outcome of a battle, it is still possible to cause heavy losses to oneself.
Senior commanders have a general understanding of the performance of various Japanese bombers, which is also a very beneficial help in commanding operations. Especially now that the army has entered a synthetic situation, this is also something that senior commanders must understand. Even more so.
It is a compulsory course for senior commanders of military regions. Therefore, Wang Guangyu is still very clear about the combat radius of the two main bombers currently prepared by the Japanese army.
According to Wang Guangyu's understanding, these Japanese bombers took off from Siping, Gongzhuling Airport south of Xinjing, and even from North Korea, and their combat radius was enough to cover the entire base area. Whether it was major arsenals, railways, highway transportation lines, or bridges on various rivers
All within the combat radius of these Japanese bombers.
It's just that because the Kwantung Army's blockade is too tight, the headquarters can only find out that the Japanese army has mobilized a large number of bombers and fighter jets to station in the Northeast. However, in what direction these bombers and new fighter jets were deployed, and the approximate combat area where they were deployed, has never been known.
Can be found out.
After Wang Guangyu carefully read this intelligence report, and then checked the coordinates of the Japanese airports south of Xinjing that had been identified on the map, as well as the range of the Japanese new bombers reported in the intelligence, he faced the battle around him.
The staff officer asked: "When did you receive this information? How long has it been since you received it?"
Hearing Wang Guangyu's harsh tone, the staff officer did not dare to conceal it and said quickly: "Commander, this telegram was just received by the Communications Section. I know that you are currently reading the enemy situation report from the headquarters, so you did not hand it to the staff officer first.
Sir, I will send it to you first."
The staff officer's answer made Wang Guangyu shake his head, indicating that he was fine. After the staff officer left, Wang Guangyu carefully read the enemy information report again, but he kept calculating in his mind what the Japanese army's intention was. This letter
The enemy situation report was just received, which means it was just sent from the headquarters.
Could it be that during this period of silence, the Japanese army was mobilizing aviation forces? But what does this mean? Do they hope to use the support of aviation forces to change the current situation on the battlefield? Or do they have other ideas? You need to know
, the dispatch of all these nearly 400 medium-sized bombers is not a small threat.
But let alone just relying on these more than 400 bombers, it is almost impossible to turn the tide of the war by deploying another 200 bombers. The Japanese army will know this very well. It is just that the Japanese army mobilized so many bombers at once. The real purpose
What is it? Is it the transportation lines within the base, or the various military factories in the rear?
Could it be that their real purpose in mobilizing these so-called heavy bombers with long range and large combat radius is to carry out deep bombing in the Anti-Alliance base areas and to carry out strangulation warfare against the Anti-Alliance forward forces? Cut off all supplies to the Anti-Alliance forward forces in order to create opportunities for their own counterattack
Conditions. It’s just the Japanese army’s intention. Is it really that simple?
