A tank regiment of the Japanese army has about sixty or seventy main battle tanks, as well as more than ten light tanks used for reconnaissance and cover of the main battle tanks. The Anjia Army tank force has always been a large organization, with a tank regiment having two hundred to three hundred.
Hundreds of tanks, as well as various auxiliary combat vehicles, are almost as large as the Japanese tank division.《》网.com
In this encounter, the Anjia army's tank troops fought with more and less troops, and their formation was powerful. Artillery fire roared on the battlefield, and fire was shining everywhere. Japanese tanks were constantly hit by bullets and burning, and stopped moving forward.
The Japanese infantry were like headless flies, shuttling between big trees. Their flesh and blood bodies not only had to pay attention to the forward path of their own tanks, but also had to avoid the artillery fire of Anjiajun tanks and the attacks of parallel machine guns and heading machine guns.
Many Japanese soldiers lost their way in the steel torrent and dense rain of bullets, and stumbled into the encirclement of the roundabout armored fighting vehicles and infantry of the Anjia Army.
The Anjia Army's armored fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers, which led the infantry to attack the flanks of the Japanese army, rained bullets on the retreating Japanese soldiers, who fell to the ground one by one.
In the forest during the war, the thick trees were knocked down by the tanks, and the wide tracks rolled over them, making a rattling sound, and sawdust scattered everywhere. A large number of dead Japanese soldiers, none of them dead, their bodies still exuded
Yu Wen's body was run over by the tank and instantly turned into mud and meat paste, which merged with the fertile black soil in the forest and became part of the earth's nutrients.
Slowly, the Japanese tank formation was severely compressed, and the Anjia Army tanks gradually formed a circular encirclement.
I saw a 105 mm caliber artillery shell of a Leopard II tank. After being fired from the barrel, it sprayed out along the smooth bore of the barrel. The warhead, burning with revenge flames, flew through the air at high speed, and then made a huge "clang" sound.
.
The target was a Type IV tank. The warhead collided violently with the steel armor and quickly squeezed into the armor.
"boom--"
The 105mm artillery shell exploded in a confined space. Its power can be imagined. Almost instantly, the ammunition compartment inside the Type IV tank exploded. The bursting fireball rushed into the sky fiercely, and the surrounding trees were violently torn apart.
The air pressure pushed him to the ground, and the screams of the Japanese tank crew quickly dissipated.
Type 4 tanks and Type 5 light tanks with only 20mm thick armor exploded and burned, and a gap was quickly opened in the Japanese tank formation. (《》网7*
From the encounter to the present, about thirty Japanese tanks have been scrapped, almost half of them were destroyed, and more than ten tanks of the Anjia Army have been shot. The steel is burning in flames, sawdust is flying everywhere, and the limbs are twisted.
The burnt corpses of tank soldiers lying on the wreckage of the tank are shocking!
Bombers and attack planes in the sky were constantly chasing and strafing Japanese tanks and soldiers. A Type IV tank was unable to dodge and was hit by a 500-kilogram aerial bomb dropped by a swooping B2 bomber. It was instantly shattered into pieces, and its turret flew dozens of meters away.
It was so high in the sky that it actually killed two Japanese soldiers when it fell.
The Japanese tank commander finally realized that something was wrong. The gap between the two sides was so huge. Both the sky and the earth were in a disadvantageous situation. It seemed that retreating to avoid its edge was the right choice... But how easy was it to withdraw at this time?
In a desperate struggle, the Japanese Type 4 medium tanks and Type 5 light tanks were beaten into piles of bonfires one by one. The Japanese tank commander panicked and ordered to "turn in", but the 30th Anjia Army had already gained the absolute upper hand.
The Sixth Tank Regiment was willing to let the opponent retreat calmly, and immediately displayed the spirit of beating a drowned dog. After half an hour of fierce fighting and at the cost of eleven Leopard II tanks, the tank regiment was finally wiped out.
Afterwards, the prisoners were interrogated and learned that the fourth tank regiment came from Harbin in the north and was an important supporting force for the Japanese army to defend the Songhua River defense line.
In order to preserve their strength, the Japanese base camp and the Kwantung Army headquarters issued orders in the past two days for the regiment to withdraw to Khabarovsk as soon as possible to strengthen the defense force in the Far East. However, the commander of the regiment, Colonel Jiro Takagi, believed that he was in charge of "such a powerful" armored force.
, it would be a huge shame to retreat without engaging in battle, so he took the initiative to fight with the Anjia Army and waited for an opportunity to eliminate the advancing Anjia Army. If he couldn't win, he could retreat calmly. The Type 4 tanks could reach up to 45 kilometers per hour.
The speed should not be a problem.
At this time, Umezu Yoshijiro was very worried. Seeing that Takagi Jiro refused to listen to the transfer, and knowing that these young Kwantung Army officers' stubbornness of "culpating the superior" had recurred, he simply asked Lieutenant General Hoshino Toshimoto, commander of the First Tank Division, to order the transfer of the tank No. 1
The Fourth Regiment went to the area west of Changchun to block the high-speed advance of the Anjia Army, but the result was that they were beaten by meat buns and never came back.
After successfully annihilating the Japanese 4th Tank Regiment, the remaining 200 tanks of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Battalions of the 36th Tank Regiment quickly completed their tactical formation with the 9th Division Reconnaissance Battalion and charged at the retreating Japanese army with great momentum.
Infantry.(《》网.com)
Finally safe, Tiegang and Zheng Heng, who were hiding in the depression, poked their heads out, waved to their comrades, and quickly received help. Soon, Tiegang, who was injured in the thigh, was sent to the rear, while Zheng Heng, a recruit from the Jing ethnic group, still needed help.
Keep fighting and follow the tank to fight the Japanese.
Downwind battles tend to get smoother the more they are fought. The officers and soldiers of the Ninth Division's Reconnaissance Battalion, with high morale, led by tanks, pounced on the panic-stricken Japanese soldiers like tigers descending the mountain.
The Japanese troops who were forced to a dead end hurriedly built blocking positions one after another in the woods. Unfortunately, these blocking positions did not play any role. They were first bombarded by tank guns, and then slightly closer to the rear tanks' coaxial machine guns and heading machine guns to form dense rounds of ammunition.
The rain made the Japanese troops howl like ghosts and wolves, and the seemingly tight front quickly collapsed.
The Japanese soldiers who originally wanted to profit from the forest ambush were horrified. The dense barrage fired by the machine guns of the Anjiajun tanks set off bursts of red mist.
Some fierce Japanese soldiers who were ready to resist stubbornly fired at the tanks with rifles in panic, or rushed towards the tanks with grenades, and explosions went off one after another.
The Japanese soldiers were blown to pieces by their own grenades, and their flesh and blood flew everywhere. When the smoke cleared, the remaining Japanese soldiers were surprised to find that their suicidal counterattack had no effect. The only effect of the suicide bombs was to remove their own dirty intestines.
Belly and flesh were stained all over the surface of the tank, and at the same time it was followed by even more crazy strafing.
When overwhelming cries of killing rang out from behind the forest, the remaining Japanese soldiers suddenly realized that their retreat had been cut off by the outflanking Anjia army.
An encounter with an undoubted outcome ended in the complete defeat of the Japanese army.
The forest was in a mess, with big trees lying on the ground everywhere, deep craters, collapsed trenches, broken weapons, burnt black naked tanks, mutilated corpses, etc. Some big trees burned like torches.
, but was soon pushed down by the tank and the infantry stepped forward to put out the fire.
On the battlefield exuding billowing black smoke, a large number of Japanese prisoners were escorted out of the forest with their weapons thrown down and their hands raised. There may not seem to be many in a certain place, but when gathered together, the number is staggering. This is the Anjia Army
After entering Northeast China, the Japanese army surrendered for the first time in an organized manner. Afterwards, calculations showed that more than 5,000 Japanese troops chose to surrender.
Zheng Heng, together with his comrades, escorted the prisoners and walked to the designated gathering place.
On the surrounding wreckage of tanks and armored vehicles, officers and soldiers were holding automatic rifles and watching the captive team vigilantly. If there was any problem, they would be shot immediately.
An Ruiguang stood on the roof of an armored personnel carrier, looking at the long queue of prisoners. The Japanese army's supply of soldiers was really drying up. These soldiers were full of young faces in their teens. In peacetime,
These people should still be in middle school or even elementary school.
At this time, An Ruiguang noticed that among the prisoners, there was a Japanese man in his early forties who was very imposing. The prisoners next to him kept a distance from him intentionally or unintentionally. His heart moved, and he immediately jumped off the chariot, strode to the prisoner, and signaled
The guard twisted him out and shouted: "State your name!"
The Japanese soldier smiled miserably, then lowered his head: "Commander of the Kwantung Army Jilin Garrison, Dr. Suzuki Zhuo, with the rank of Lieutenant General!"
An Ruiguang was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed:
"Are you the supreme commander of the Changchun garrison? This is great. By catching this big fish like you, our battalion has overfulfilled its mission... Come, take them away, and put them in solitary confinement."
During the interrogation, we must get all the information on the road to Changchun!"
"yes--"
...
Lieutenant General Takashi Suzuki, who was born in an aristocratic family, did not have the courage to perform a caesarean section when he failed, and his mental will was very weak. He immediately spilled the beans about the Japanese military deployment in Jilin and even the entire Northeast and Far East without even using torture to extract a confession.
, even the situation formulated by the Japanese base camp to abandon Manchuria, Mongolia, the Northern Branch and the Far East and concentrate on fighting in America was also revealed.
Under the identification of Dr. Suzuki Taku, the Japanese army's radio stations and cipher code personnel also fell into the hands of the Anjiajun intelligence department. Soon, telegrams traveling between the Japanese archipelago and Northeast China and the Far East were continuously deciphered.
After review, the Anjia Army Intelligence Department finally confirmed that it turned out that the Japanese base camp and the Kwantung Army headquarters actually chose to give up, and even abandoned everything in the Northeast in order to retain their strength. An Yi, who was in Culun, heard this.
Naturally, he was unwilling to give up a great opportunity and ordered the entire army to accelerate the advance. It was necessary to eliminate as many Japanese troops as possible in the Northeast to reduce the difficulty of future operations.
Two hours later, the forward troops of the Third Group Army of the Second Route Army, having received first-hand intelligence, had successfully approached Changchun.
After the September 18th Incident, Puyi publicly issued a declaration in March of the following year to establish the Puppet Manchukuo and set its capital in Changchun. Subsequently, the Puppet Imperial Palace, the State Council and various ministries were established one after another. Changchun became the political, economic and cultural center of Manchukuo, ruling all provinces.
, cities, counties, villages and towns.
There are the so-called eight ministries in Changchun City, which are concentrated in the office buildings of several central ministries and commissions of the Puppet Manchukuo in the Xinmin Street area. In addition, there are the Puppet State Council, the Comprehensive Law Office, the Kwantung Army Branch, the Central Bank and other buildings, as well as the Puppet Manchukuo Emperor.
Puyi's palace.
The main entrance of the Puppet Palace is called "Laixun Gate" and the west gate is called "Baokang Gate". It is divided into two parts, the inner and outer parts. The inner court is the area where Puyi lived his daily life. The main buildings are Jixi Tower and Tongde Hall. The outer court is handled by Puyi.
The main buildings for government affairs include Qinmin Building, Huaiyuan Building, Jiale Hall, as well as gardens, rockeries, fish ponds, swimming pools, air-raid shelters, tennis courts, golf courses, racecourses, calligraphy and painting libraries and other ancillary places. These are
The architectural style of this palace combines Chinese classical, European and Japanese styles. Puyi has spent ten years of his puppet life here.
There was almost no suspense in the subsequent siege. Since the troops in the Changchun area were either deployed to fight in the Wanbaoshan hilly area or withdrawn westward to the Far East, there was only one brigade of Japanese troops and two puppet Manchurian divisions in the city rushing to transport supplies.
.
After just one hour of fighting, the Japanese troops defending the city were quickly wiped out. Amidst the shouts of "hand over your guns and not kill", the puppet troops raised their hands knowingly, and white flags of surrender were flying everywhere in the city.
, the restoration of Changchun turned out to be surprisingly smooth.
A train that had already started was blocked at the train station. A large amount of gold, silver and antique calligraphy and paintings packed into boxes for shipment were preserved. More than 20 factories invested and built by the devils around Changchun and more than a dozen of Puyi's decorations were preserved.
This "state-owned factory" completely fell into the hands of An Jiajun.
However, what disappointed Fu Guanjie, commander of the Third Group Army, was that, as Dr. Suzuki Zhuo revealed:
Puyi and the head of the puppet Manchukuo government had taken a train to Vladivostok a day ago, boarded a ship and set out to sea. With the support of the Japanese government and military, they continued to maintain his puppet regime on Sakhalin Island.
