Under the personal encouragement of Kong Xiaoping, dozens of Far East Air Force bombers began to bombard the Japanese positions, stationed in Beiping, Nanyuan, Xiyuan, Tongxian, and Fengtai in the Beijing area, under the jurisdiction of the Far East
Almost all members of the Army's 29th Army, 36th and 37th divisions went to the original fighting positions to deploy mines and anti-infantry weapons.
Several attack waves composed of two bomber squadrons dived and dropped bombs on the Jaap's position. The attack aircraft also immediately launched blind spot strafing on the ground, and the rear of the Japanese army suddenly turned into a sea of fire.
Even some citizens of Beijing were frightened by this earth-shattering sight. The strong fluctuations made people's ears buzz, and high-explosive bombs weighing more than 100 kilograms rained down.
Below, almost all the houses in the entire Beijing area were shaking, and some weak houses were making creaking sounds, as if they were about to collapse at any time.
However, the soldiers from the Far East who were closest to the Japanese position were very happy when faced with the overwhelming explosions and smoke, which caused the sun and the moon to lose light. They did not stop. Although they had been temporarily deafened by the loud noise, they felt in their hearts
The great joy brought them more passion.
General Koizumi Jiro, commander of the Second Corps of the Japanese invaders, was in his corps headquarters, raising a dark telescope and looking at the Japanese positions in the distance. With the sound of explosions, the tragic scene on the Japanese positions appeared.
Through the telescope, the Japanese positions shrouded in gunpowder smoke appeared and disappeared. Each high-explosive bomb would leave behind a pile of corpses and squirming Japanese wounded.
But Koizumi Jiro's fair face was as calm as water at this time. There seemed to be no anger or passion. In the face of death and blood, there was a trace of a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
But then he grabbed the phone beside him and shouted: "Get Noda Division!".
"Hi!" the operator responded quickly, because he already knew who the other party was.
"General Noda, I want to know how long it will take for your division to open the Marco Polo Bridge!"
"Report to Commander Koizumi, the resistance of the Far East Army is too tenacious. Our division has launched more than 30 charges within six hours, but in the end they were all repelled by the Far East Army. They seem to have unparalleled combat effectiveness.
And they seem to be growing in numbers!"
Upon hearing the interrogation from the commander of the corps, Noda Division Commander Noda Turtle immediately answered honestly about the previous battle situation and his personal analysis. However, just after he finished speaking, a roaring voice sounded in the receiver.
: "Baga! Noda-kun, what are you doing?
In order to destroy your own prestige by encouraging others' ambitions, I now order you that after the Far East Air Force bombing is over, your army must launch a full-scale attack on you. Three hours, I will only give you three hours. If you still can't attack, you will have your belly broken.
Commit suicide and serve His Majesty the Emperor!”.
"Hi!" the leader of the Noda Turtle Division said quickly and cautiously.
Although we were separated by the phone, our fear of the commander of the Corps, Jiro Koizumi, was still undiminished. Not to mention the famous Koizumi family, who was able to command hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops invading the Second Corps under the age of forty.
Jiro Koizumi has unique abilities.
However, after putting down the phone, Noda Turtle was still hiding in the corner of the temporary headquarters, because at this time, the bombers from the Far East were dropping bombs!
At this moment, Kong Xiaoping, who was also holding a telescope and looking forward, saw a group of soldiers from the Far East rushing towards the frontline like a tidal wave. He was in an extremely excited mood and felt proud that he could command such a group of soldiers.
He felt proud of a tiger and wolf army, but he seemed to have more important things to do, so after arranging the forward positions, he drove to Beiping City, and this time he wanted to meet the three former Beiyang warlords.
One of them is Li Yuanhong.
The Anti-Japanese War was a war between two countries, and also a war between two nations. It was bound to be an earth-shattering and bloody battle. Whether it was the Far East Army or the Japanese invading army, both sides were regular armies. The total force invested by both sides this time
They are all over 100,000, so the battle is bound to be fierce and the casualties are bound to be heavy.
Just when Kong Xiaoping went to Beijing to interview former Beiyang warlord Li Yuanhong, the Cai Songpo Department of the Far East Army on the periphery of Tianjin had already begun to launch the first wave of fighting with the three divisions commanded by Lieutenant General Yamano Murao of the Third Army Corps of the Japanese invaders.
An all-out fight.
Before launching the battle, Cai Songpo remembered what Li Ningyu once said to him: "Any combat power is to use infinite violence to annihilate the enemy in front of it, and in order to achieve the goal, the only way to achieve the goal is to rely on the combination of mobility and firepower.
force!".
The first step in the war was to seize the initiative, so the two motorized divisions of Cai Songpo Corps began to eliminate the first wave of three divisions to invade China before the next five divisions of the Japanese army arrived with them.
Although the Japanese army did not have the cooperation of the Far East Air Force in the battle, as the most powerful force of the Far East Army, each division of Cai Songpo's department had its own artillery regiment, and there was also a military heavy artillery regiment, which were all 150mm howitzers.
However, this group of Japanese invaders are not infantry in the traditional sense. They have a division of cavalry. It can be said that the Cai Songpo Corps has an absolute advantage in terms of firepower. At the same time, it has strong maneuverability and is considered an overwhelming advantage. However, the Japanese invaders
After all, there are three divisions.
Since the Meiji Restoration, little Japan has basically vigorously learned from Germany in the military. It has been dismissive of things that embody democracy and is happy to see the development of militarism. Therefore, in terms of army building, the German model has become a model for the Imperial Japanese Army to learn from.
The division system was also established in imitation.
For example, the Far East Army, a Category A field division, is equipped with 10,000 to 12,000 men, while a general security division does not exceed 10,000 men.
The number of the Japanese army's divisions generally reaches 27,000, which is similar to the number of an integrated army. The Japanese army's divisions are divided into four levels: First-class Class A divisions, each with more than 27,000 people, is a small Japan.
Permanent standing divisions are usually stationed in the mainland, but this time the Far East Army bombed Tokyo continuously for a week. Not only did it kill the entire Japanese royal family, but most of the Class A divisions were also subject to continuous bombing and
Sudden bombing and total loss.
The second-class Category B division is a newly added support combat division, and its combat effectiveness is much lower than that of the Category A standing division, with less than 25,000 people. The third-class Category C division is a reserve combat division, mostly composed of new soldiers, with weak combat effectiveness.
, so the three divisions of the Third Invading Japanese Army Corps that fought before Cai Songpo's Corps were either divisions that were hybridized between the remaining Category A divisions and Category B divisions, or they were Category B corps.
