If we rely on ourselves. [.Com text: And many times, losing contact with our superiors is not necessarily a bad thing for us at the moment. This matter is settled like this, and I don’t want to have any more problems.
I disagree. You go ahead and execute it, we will break out as soon as it gets dark."
Kita Seiichi's resolute attitude made the staff dare not say anything more. Although they did not agree with him rashly breaking out without intelligence support, but facing the division commander who had always made up his mind and would never change,
This staff officer knew that objections were useless. Given this time, it was better to discuss how to avoid losses as much as possible during the breakout.
In fact, Kita Seiichi's guess was correct. Except for a small number of aircraft used to protect the arsenal in Luobei, the opponent's air raid on him was almost overwhelming. The air raid on Harbin Airport was fruitless, and all the anger was spent on reinforcements.
The Independent Division of the Fourteenth Division looked at Lieutenant General Kita Seiichi, who looked a little dazed after issuing these orders. He didn't know what he was thinking in his heart. The staff officer said hesitantly: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, these weapons are
It is not a good thing to just throw these weapons to the enemy as a gift from the Emperor. Even if we want to give up these weapons, we should blow them up to avoid falling into the hands of the enemy."
"And your Excellency, the division commander, our radio contact with each regiment is now interrupted. Except for the 15th regiment, which still has wired communication, the rest are all interrupted again. In other words, our radio contact with Colonel Onimu Goto and Colonel Nasu Yumio
We simply can’t send out the order now.”
"Furthermore, our radio contact with the Kwantung Army Headquarters and the Fifth Army Headquarters has been interrupted again. Since early this morning, our radio contact with the Kwantung Army Headquarters has been intermittent, often inexplicably.
Interrupted. This is the seventh time that radio contact has been interrupted."
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, after research by the division's communications officer, it is not that our radio equipment failed, but that the other party must have used some interference method. Our radio station, except for the huge noise, cannot receive any signal. It is also
This means that we have now lost all means of communication with the outside world, and even if we break through, we will not get any support."
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, are you waiting? At least wait until the radio contact with the 59th Regiment is restored before breaking through. Without the support of the 59th Regiment, relying on our existing troops, there is no hope of breaking out.
It’s not very big. In the afternoon, the enemy forces in the direction of Deshan increased the strength of at least one regiment. We also need to at least communicate with the intelligence department to understand the deployment of the enemy forces around us."
"Moreover, the enemy's artillery support has obviously increased significantly. The enemy in the Deshan direction only used a small number of mortars and infantry artillery yesterday. But this morning, its firepower increased significantly. Not only mountain artillery, but also
Artillery of more than 100 millimeters appeared. You discard all the artillery. We have no artillery cover, and the success rate of breakout is almost zero."
Faced with the questions from his staff, Kita Makoto shook his head and said: "There is no time. We have a large number of enemy reinforcements on the back road now. Our reinforcements will arrive not knowing when, but the opponent's reinforcements are constantly coming."
It is increasing. If we don't leave, once the opponent completes the deployment of his troops, it will be difficult for us to leave even if we want to."
"As for those pieces of equipment, wouldn't blowing them up tell the enemy that we are going to break through lightly? Given the huge disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves, and without tactical surprise, our chances of a successful breakout will be extremely slim."
Having said this, Kita Makoto pointed to the enemy's aircraft in the sky that were constantly circling and said: "As for the Kwantung Army intelligence department, forget it. What we were informed before the war was that the opponent's firepower was weak. During this period, the opponent's firepower was weak.
You also know exactly what happened. If they had not made errors in their intelligence judgment, the Fourteenth Division would not have suffered heavy losses in the previous battles and fallen into the current situation of insufficient troops."
"There are also these aircraft. Before going to war, no one told us that the opponent not only had aviation, but also had a very large number. Regarding these key information related to the success or failure of the battle, the Kwantung Army Intelligence Department made many mistakes in judgment. Can we still believe it?
What are they?"
"There are more than a hundred enemy aircraft above the heads of the 14th Division alone. So how many total enemy aircraft are there? According to my understanding of the Imperial Army Aviation combat regulations, it must be at least three times more. Unless the opponent gets it
We were so distraught that we dispatched all of them without leaving a single one behind."
"Can you contact the Kwantung Army Intelligence Department? It is of no use to us at the moment, but it is not very helpful. Instead of relying on their intelligence that we don't know whether it is true or false, after the return of the Fujian garrison. According to Yang Zhen
In order to increase the power and intensity of the air strikes as much as possible, Fang Ziyi reorganized all the air forces on hand when the enemy's air forces had been destroyed.
In addition to leaving five squadrons of sixty P-39 fighter jets to provide air cover on the battlefield and continue to provide battlefield interdiction and guard against subsequent sneak attacks by enemy aircraft, all the fighters and bombers on hand were organized into four groups and divided into four groups.
The combat area was determined, air support was provided for ground operations, and Japanese reinforcements were bombed to support ground operations.
As American-made fighter jets began to return home one after another to join the war, Fang Ziyi not only had a large number of fighter jets under his command. The number of bombers was compared with only a dozen Polish-made bombers and a few stolen Japanese Type 97 bombers half a month ago. Although
It cannot be said that a shotgun has been replaced by a cannon, but its strength has also developed greatly.
The bombers in his hands at this moment not only include the Polish-made fighter jets that Jiangbei had provided before, but also the twelve British-made fighter jets that Jiangbei provided before the campaign was launched and were captured from the three Baltic countries that were annexed by them.
Blenheim bomber. As well as the two Dornier 17 bombers transferred at the beginning of the year, the Soviet army purchased six He-11 bombers and six Junkers 88 bombers from Germany for research last year.
All the fighter jets, including those also plundered from the three Baltic countries and transferred by the Soviet army, were urgently imported from the UK after the Soviet army entered Poland last year. Sixteen of the latest British Hurricane fighter jets and 49 French-made fighter jets were imported.
When entering the three Baltic countries, the Three Corps did not resist, and almost all their equipment fell into the hands of the Soviet army intact.
The Soviet army was obviously not very interested in these aircraft produced by Britain and France. After the war in Western Europe started, these British and French fighter jets did not perform well when fighting against the German army. Especially those fighter jets made in France, except for the twenty-two
Except for the two MS 406 fighters, the rest are old-fashioned and cannot match the performance of I-Sixteen's D 501 fighters.
Therefore, after the Soviet army conducted test flights and found that it could not meet its needs for new fighter jets, especially the latest Western aviation technology, at the end of May, all the weapons and equipment seized by the Soviet army in the three Baltic countries were transferred to Yang Zhen's headquarters at once.
.
Although the three countries are small and their military strength is not strong. But because these three countries are relatively wealthy, their weapons and equipment are basically in sync with Britain and France. Therefore, although the equipment transferred in this batch is not large in quantity and is also very miscellaneous, for
For Yang Zhen, after all, it was better than nothing.
Especially the addition of tanks can be said to have solved a big problem for Yang Zhen. However, the number of these aircraft is not large. The number of new fighter jets is only sixteen British-made Hurricane fighter jets of the Estonian Air Force and twelve MS 406s of the Lithuanian Air Force.
Fighters. But those twelve Blenheim bombers and twelve German-made bombers solved the major problem of the Anti-Alliance Air Force's bombers being weak, with a small number but extremely complicated models.
These types of bombers were also the main bombers of the German Army and the main light bombers of the British Army in World War II. Although the number is still insufficient, they are at least much better than before. These aircraft were transferred back together with the American-made fighter jets. It was only because of the military forces at the rear.
Factories, institutions, and schools also had to leave some fighter jets for air defense, so in the morning's air battles and air raids, except for bombers, no fighter jets were dispatched.
However, in order to support ground operations, especially when a part of the fighter jets had to be assigned to perform air defense missions, and worried that some of them were insufficient in strength, they dispatched the front wing in the early morning to seek Yang Zhen's approval to transfer the group of fighters originally staying at Luobei Airport.
Except for the French-made fighter jets, which had too short legs and was only suitable for air defense missions in key areas, the rest of the British and French fighter jets were all transferred to Tangyuan. During the afternoon sortie, all bombs were mounted for ground air strikes.
.
In order to ensure the intensity of the air strike, Fang Ziyi, who currently has much more troops on hand, Yuan Bin, and Xia Boxun studied, and even the twenty-seven D-501 fighter jets that were originally intended to be used only as high-level trainer aircraft. Because of the ground attack
The number of aircraft is insufficient, and it is necessary to hang bombs for ground support like the Polish-made fighter jets that have persisted for a while.
According to Fang Ziyi's deployment, these temporarily modified fighters for ground support, like the previous Polish fighters and light bombers, provide fire support for ground operations. All medium bombers have a relatively large range of 60 and can carry
Under the cover of the bomb-laden P-39 fighter jets, they blocked the highways connecting Ning'an, Weihe, Yanshou and Fangzheng, cutting off the Japanese reinforcement route.
In order to achieve the strategic task assigned by the headquarters to fully support the second column against the 14th Division, Fang Ziyi almost went to pieces. Almost all the aircraft on hand that had formed combat capabilities were dispatched. Using airborne bombs and airborne machine guns,
Fully support ground operations.
Fang Ziyi's all-out effort greatly reduced the combat pressure and casualties on the ground forces. Ma Chunsheng, who blocked the operation of the 2nd Regiment of the 14th Division to forcibly cross the Ant River with less than one regiment and extremely tired troops, relied on
With the full support of the aviation force, several ferries were held before reinforcements arrived, cutting off the hope of the 2nd Regiment to get closer to the 14th Division headquarters.
Chai Shirong was able to hold the line of defense despite the desperate attack by the leading group of the 29th Division and the two squadrons of the 59th Regiment. By the end of the entire battle, the 29th Division was not allowed to enter the Founder battlefield.
The full support of the aviation force was even more indispensable. In the words of Wang Xiaoming after the battle, the support of the aviation force was the greatest contributor to the outcome of the battle.
