We have a small number of people. If we spread out the camp, we will have a large area to defend. This will increase the pressure per unit area to deal with, and it will also easily give the People's Army the opportunity to break through and divide and conquer. The Liaodong Peninsula stretches into the sea like a sharp knife, becoming narrower as you go south, making it relatively easier to defend.
Therefore, even after losing the order from the division headquarters, the well-trained Japanese middle and lower-level officers still showed amazing battlefield insights and retreated southward in large groups and squadrons.
Whenever a decent army is assembled, someone will automatically lead the formation and organize the defense, even though they know that being broken through by the People's Army means death, and if there is a chance to go south, there is a chance of survival.
This is a well-trained army, and it is an army that regards death as home. Although they are opponents, the People's Army still expresses their respect for them: for their tradition of fighting to the end, the People's Army will never let them down.
The Political Department has previously publicized that unless they are unconscious or completely lose the ability to resist, all Japanese officers and soldiers who can handle weapons must be taken seriously and strive to kill them.
It is inhumane to let him die of injury and pain, and the battlefield situation does not allow for the release of manpower for rescue. In a word, killing the enemy is the best respect for the enemy.
Of course, Japanese soldiers almost always fought until their last breath.
When the war has reached this point, it is no longer entirely the responsibility of the commanders on both sides. They have already done their best. Even after the Japanese soldiers demonstrated absolute individual soldier qualities, no one could say that the Japanese soldiers were just as good as they looked and had low combat effectiveness. From morning to evening, the People's Army's guns and artillery fire continued all the time, and the Kwantung Army's position shrank more and more.
What magical changes happened to the Chinese soldiers on the opposite side that made them so powerful? The two lieutenant generals Murakaze Chotaro and Akai Harumi looked at each other speechlessly. The arrogance of the day before had been completely driven away to the Bohai Sea. Judging from the domestic response speed and the relentless offensive momentum of the People's Army, no one can rescue them now.
News from the front line, no, it should be said from the rear line, is that the Japanese army has lost all the land north of Jinzhou. The remaining less than 4,000 Japanese soldiers are organizing defense fortifications overnight with Jinzhou City as the boundary.
Four thousand people? Survival? Lieutenant General Akai Harumi twitched. Even though he knew that the Japanese army had suffered heavy losses during the daytime battle, the heavy casualties still made him feel as painful as minced meat. Could it be that the Japanese Empire's first defeat in many years was going to fall on itself?
He is not like the so-called military god Nogi Nogi Nogi in the Meiji era, who stepped on the corpses of Japanese soldiers to the throne. He was a top student from the ninth phase of the mainland, the cradle of the Japanese army. Opportunities. However, the magical power of the People's Army caused his ambition to show off in the Northeast to disappear in an instant. Instead, he asked: How long can the Kwantung Army last?
??According to the desperate momentum of the Chinese army during the day, their ammunition consumption must be very high. In terms of combat area, the Kwantung Army retreated for dozens of kilometers, which was far beyond the combat limits of modern infantry. The Chinese army must work hard to rest and recuperate in order to regain its energy in the next battle. In two days, the domestic supporting troops will arrive, right?
But why are there still intensive gunshots in the suburbs?
At the same time, inside the headquarters of the People's Army, Ji Yiqiao was arranging for a night battle.
To be honest, like the Japanese army, night fighting is not the specialty of the People's Army. The battle during the day demonstrated the courage, morale and spirit of the Chinese soldiers. It is not an exaggeration to express its epoch-making significance. Although the Japanese suffered heavy losses, the losses of the People's Army were also not small.
Many generals are deeply aware of the fatigue of their troops in continuous battles, and are worried that if the People's Army, which has no experience in night fighting, loses, it will affect the fighting enthusiasm that has been accumulated with great difficulty. After all, they are facing the elite Second Division, which has experienced hundreds of battles and can They resisted desperately when they were extremely weak. It can be seen from the fact that despite the one-sided advantage during the day, the opponent was still able to calmly deploy defenses despite being defeated.
Zhang Hanqing was unmoved. Taking into account the high speed of troops, if he could not capture Kanto Prefecture before Japanese reinforcements arrived, all previous efforts would be wasted. He argued: "We are tired, but after fighting for a day, the enemy is not tired? He has no experience in night battles." , it is more important to learn and summarize experience under advantageous conditions to lay the foundation for future battles.
Our momentum is strong and the Japanese army is defeated. It is a good time to show the prestige of the Chinese army in one go. The Battle of Guandong State has ended successfully, and we can calmly deploy the next phase of the war. The initiative lies with us; if we delay for one minute, the enemy's reinforcements will arrive in just one minute. If the war cannot be resolved before reinforcements arrive, the stalemate will bring great passivity to the national strategy.
Therefore, in this battle, we should carry forward our army¡¯s fighting spirit of not being afraid of death or fatigue, and launch attacks overnight! "
The gunfire under the night made Akai Harumi¡¯s wish to take a rest come to nothing, and it also made Su?The traditional advantage of the Japanese army with higher shooting accuracy is back to the same starting point as the People's Army.
The shooting accuracy in the dark is much worse. Neither the Japanese soldiers nor the People's Army of this era are used to night fighting. But they couldn't stand up to the large number of people's soldiers, so they fought in the dark, which was not a good idea for the Japanese army with a small number of people and a long front line.
After an hour of close-range gun battles, the troops from both sides crisscrossed the entire front, forming a situation where you were among us and you were among me. It was dark anyway, so no one could see it. Fortunately, it was dark, and the People's Army's artillery stopped shelling for fear of accidentally injuring friendly forces, giving the Japanese army, which had been shelled to pieces during the day, an extra "surprise."
But the Chinese army has a mission, which is to march through the Jinzhou Defense Line to Dalian and Lushun whenever there is an opportunity. Anyway, there will be a steady stream of Chinese soldiers following behind. The outnumbered Japanese troops were divided into strongholds in small groups, barely able to protect themselves under the cover of night, and unable to do anything to stop the groups of subsequent troops of the People's Army.
Dalian Kanto Hall has become the wartime headquarters of Lieutenant General Murakaze Chotaro, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army. This is already the third headquarters, and there is no way to retreat.
When the embarrassed Lieutenant General Akai Harumi appeared in front of Murakaze, escorted by the few remaining personal guards, Murakaze knew that the situation was out of control.
The Second Division was gone, and the Fourth Border Guard was crippled. What Akai may not know is that at noon, the empire's navy in Kanto Prefecture had also been completely wiped out. Now, it was just the security forces around him.
The two officers looked at each other for a long time, and Murafeng solemnly ordered: "Power generation now: 'My powerful Kwantung Army soldiers have gloriously completed their mission after bloody battles. The commander of the Kwantung Army, who is running out of ammunition and food, has Akai, the commander of the Second Division of the Fenghe Empire, is determined to kill himself, follow the warriors of our empire, and be loyal to the emperor. We have been in the army for decades, and we have been waiting for this sacred moment. Comparing the military strength of China's past and present, you need to pay more attention to Yasukuni Goodbye Sheshe. Long live His Majesty the Emperor!"
Looking at the calm expressions of the two commanders, the regiment flag bearer Shan Jiaheng knew that the last moment had arrived. He took out the united flag, which he regarded as a treasure, and solemnly completed the burning ceremony under the sacred attention of everyone. Then the headquarters staff smashed the radio and destroyed all confidential documents.
Walking out of the Guandong Hall, in the vast night, fires broke out in and around Jinzhou City in the distance, and the gunfire sounded like fried beans. According to usual practice, the remaining Japanese troops there are probably also making orderly final preparations, right?
¡°The mountains and the moon and the grass and trees have turned desolate, and there is a bloody new battlefield ten miles away.
Zhengma is not a predecessor, and the Jinzhou City is in the sun. "
Lieutenant General Akai couldn't help but recite this poem. This is a masterpiece written by the military god Nogi Nogi when he captured Jinzhou. Looking at it purely from the perspective of a poet, this is really a good poem that fits the occasion. And considering that Nogi uses the Chinese language as a foreigner, this poem is even more valuable.
It¡¯s just that times have changed, and Nogi, whom I have always looked down upon, improvised this poem with a victor¡¯s tone. But now, such a grand occasion can only be remembered in memory. He murmured: "At least Nogi made the most correct decision and became a god, but I will be the first division commander to die in defeat on the battlefield since the Meiji Restoration of the Japanese Empire!"
Lieutenant General Cunfeng smiled sadly and recited:
"How difficult is it to climb Erling Mountain?
Men¡¯s fame and fortune are difficult to overcome.
??????????????????????????????????????
Ten thousand people admire Erling Mountain together. "
This poem was also written by Nogi Nogi Nogi to commemorate the 6,200 Japanese soldiers who died during the Russo-Japanese War when they captured Erling Mountain (formerly Highland 203).
He looked south, and the tall cannonball-shaped monument on Highland 203 was faintly visible. He smiled and said: "From today on, the inscription on Erling Mountain will have another village style, right?"
The two looked at each other and smiled miserably, while Liangfeng whimpered, seeming to be making peace for them.
Rear Admiral Shiro Takasu, Commander of the First Support Fleet of the Japanese Navy who had just arrived in the Tsushima Strait, received the following emergency telegram and was instantly petrified: "We, the officers and men of the Kwantung Army, surrounded by enemies ten times more powerful than us, at 5 a.m. this morning At this time, we collectively serve the Emperor. The Navy Ministry requires your ministry to land reinforcements at the nearest port, gather with other armies on the Korean Peninsula, and fight to the death with the China Army!"
As a naval general, Shiro Takasu knew nothing about the development of the Chinese Army, but he could not understand why the invincible 2nd Division was wiped out in just 24 hours? This is one of the first seven elite divisions of the empire built by Japan's entire nation! And what about the garrison with no less than 8,000 people? There are also a large number of "South Manchu Road Guards" armed to the teeth?
how so!
However, although Rear Admiral Takasu was shocked, he quickly carried out the order of the Navy Ministry and ordered the entire fleet to turn around and turn to Busan Port.
Lieutenant General Fukuda Hikosuke, the commander of the 6th Division who had been arranging troops in the captain's room, raised his head after hearing the news and said: "Takasu-kun, my 6th Division received an order from the base camp to disembark at Port Arthur and support the Kwantung Army. "
Takasu said with a sad expression: "The call just came in. The Kwantung Army has been completely wiped out. General Murakaze and General Akai have died for the country. It is meaningless to talk about supporting the Kwantung Prefecture!"? (Remember the website address of this website: www .hlnovel.com)??ordered the entire fleet to turn around and turn to Busan Port.
