Chapter 217: Blood stained Tokyo City (1)

Niudaoman's request for the aviation force to support Mudanjiang City was just an unintentional move.

For an army born, what I believe in throughout my life is that the truth is within the cannon. The huge body of the battleship can shock those arrogant generals, but the small arms and calves of the plane were not valued by the military enough, and they were formed into an army.

That's right, there is no Air Force Command in the Japanese army.

Among the Japanese army, the aviation army was a vassal and an auxiliary army, which was unimaginable in other countries. Look at the National Government, at the beginning of the war, there were only a few aircraft, and a complete Air Force Command had been built long ago.

Niudaoman suggested using air force transport aircraft to meet the defense needs of Mudanjiang City and radiate the defense between the entire Mudanjiang area. It was not kind-hearted and did not have much strategic thinking. It was all because of the commander of the 4th Army and the harem Jun.

This inconspicuous lieutenant general in the Japanese army gave people the impression from beginning to end that he had no opinion, was flustered when encountering problems, and had no combat ability.

However, Jun of the Harem naturally had a skill, the ability to recognize people. When Tojo Hideki was in trouble, he relied on Jun of the Harem to gain a good position in the Kanto Army, which led to his failure to be sent to the reserve force and becoming an outdated general who would never be able to be activated. He served as the highest commander for personnel transfer for a long time in the military headquarters, Jun of the Harem of course had this right.

However, a general born in personnel was suddenly placed in the border fortress military zone where the Kwantung Army had a very heavy defense mission and served as the commander. I don’t know whether it was the Japanese army’s negligence or an accident during personnel transfer.

In short, Jun, the harem who was born in charge of administration, will now face the Soviet army in the Far East.

Hideki Tojo has already won the support of most naval generals in Japan, and Emperor Showa also believes in Tojo's loyalty. Of course, in history, Hideki Tojo has always been considered the most loyal lackey of Emperor Showa and the stupidest prime minister. Otherwise, he would not go to the trash can of Ishihara Kanir's house during his tenure as prime minister to see if Ishihara Kanir had eaten and drunk at the most critical moment of the empire and ignored the interests of the empire. Of course, the slim Tojo would not let Itagaki Seishiro and others go.

Just imagine, at dawn, the workers who cleaned up urban garbage were not yet at work. In Tokyo, seagulls were flying in the sky, making waves of vomiting.

Hideki Tojo took off his general's uniform, put on his servant's clothes, and sneaked out of the prime minister's residence with a mask. Following the villa where the military generals lived, he hugged at the door, carefully turning on the trash can that emitted the smell of fermentation of food...

I don’t know if it was the sorrow of the Japanese army or the sorrow of the Japanese government in order to make such a person the Japanese army or the sorrow of the Japanese government. Always, since the position of Prime Minister, countries of all sizes have produced at least tens of thousands of prime ministers. But for such a unique thing, there is only one such person in the world, which is unprecedented and has no future.

Of course, in terms of being a person, Hideki Tojo is very simple. This left a good impression on Emperor Showa. In Japan, senior officials have received unanimous recognition. It is inevitable that Hideki Tojo tojo enters the Prime Minister’s residence.

The emperor's valuation, Tojo, at home, suddenly overshadowed other competitors, setting the moment when he reached the peak of politics. The navy generals were just concerned about whether Hideki Tojo would fulfill his promise to the navy after he came to power.

Niudao is selling well, and everyone can see this trick.

Helping Jung of the Harem to stabilize the defense line behind him is just a short-term investment that has been scheduled for Ushima Manta. I believe the report will come soon. With the good friendship between Jung of the Harem and Hideki Tojo, at least the Kwantung Army will not continue to defend the border.

The Japanese Kwantung Army launched a military history innovation and used aircraft to transport combat soldiers to the battlefield. It took at least one week to get the original traditional marching, but with the aircraft transport, in just one day, a soldier from a corps was sent to the front-line airport, creating a miracle in the history of the Japanese army. However, after the Japanese 22nd Regiment that arrived in Songhuajiang City gathered from the airport, it launched an attack on the 1st Column position outside the city. Suddenly, it was found that there was no one in the trenches that were crowded a few days ago.

After receiving the news, the harem Chun was immediately panicked and the troops besieged were gone?

The panicked harem Jun shouted in his heart: Conspiracy! It must be a huge conspiracy! But he just couldn't see who was targeted after the separation of this conspiracy?

1 When the sect went there, he didn't know. He would attack it, he didn't know. The telephone line around Songhua River City had long been cut off. The telephone number in the city could only be transmitted in a small range, and the telegram was even more chaotic and had no clue for a moment. What's even more unlucky was that Jun of the Harem found that he had no idea how to place the 4,000 officers and soldiers of the 22nd Regiment who had arrived on the battlefield in a hurry. After thinking about it, Jun of the Harem decided to place the 22nd Regiment in the airport.

Anyway, the airport in Songhuajiang City is a large airport. Unlike the surrounding field airports, small planes can only land.

In the empty airport, there was a lot of lively moments.

The ground commander of Mudanjiang Airport, Toyota Hideichi looked at the empty hangar in a daze, full of soldiers. He turned his head to look at Major Sasaki in the petrified form. The latter raised his head alertly, looked at each other, and smiled bitterly: "I don't want this either."

The implication is that the commander cannot find a good way to accommodate these arrogant soldiers and generals from the front line. Instead of placing them in the city and disrupting public order, it is better to throw them at the airport and send them out whenever they need them.

The crisis and the solution of Mudanjiang City were resolved, but for safety, the harem Chun did not send troops to search around. In his opinion, although a field gang with 4,000 people was powerful, it was not enough to deal with the China National Team with tens of thousands of people.

Instead of just increasing casualties, it would be better to keep it by his side, at least he can sleep peacefully now.

As for sending the 22nd Regiment to compete for control of the Mudanjiang Bridge, Jun Gong was very worried. If the 22nd Regiment left the strong fortifications and the airport defense line, and was attacked and cut off the rear route, these reinforcements that had finally arrived would become a burden to him. If reinforcements were not sent at that time, he would be inquired by the Kwantung Army Command, and a dereliction of duty would not be able to escape. But if reinforcements were sent, should Mudanjiang City still be guarded?

So, the 22nd Regiment was moved from Jiamusi Airport to Mudanjiang in a very strange way, so the Regiment never left the airport.

Is such a big ups and downs just to give Chun the harem a stable sleep?

On the other hand, after a day of marching at night, the 1st Column conquered Ning'an in one fell swoop before the Japanese reinforcements arrived, and set up an ambush circle on the side of the road from Tokyo City in central Ning'an to Dunhua. The two main brigades, together with the artillery regiment, were hidden on the hills on both sides of the highway, waiting for the Japanese troops to arrive from the front line to reinforce the rear.

Wang Lifa, who was commanding the ambush, could not have imagined that the Japanese army would send the troops to reinforce Mudanjiang City.

However, in the telegram he communicated with Zeng Yiyang, he believed that the Japanese army would definitely provide reinforcements, and the number of reinforcements would not be small.

Tokyo City, a small town that made Wang Lifa very angry.

This town with a population of more than 10,000 was just a small village before the Japanese occupied it. After the Kwantung Army fully occupied the northeast, 32 years later, the Kwantung Army built and opened the Tuning Railway, established the Xinliping Station here, and built the town next to the station, named Tokyo City.

It is indeed just a town. After 36 years, after returning to the hometown and joining the village, the people around him were gathered in this city, which made this inconspicuous small station lively and further developed into a large-scale town.

"Old Wang, it's been two days since this, so the Japanese should have arrived." Political Commissar Ma Wenjun looked at Wang Lifa with concern. Ma Wenjun started from the 1st Column crossing Mudanjiang. Logically, the Japanese still had the ability to draw some troops around.

To the east is the Kwantung Army's national defense fortress group. If you gather it, thousands of infantry can still be gathered together. As for why the Kwantung Army is far away, of course, because of the Soviet Union on the opposite side, he is afraid that he will be controlled by the Soviet army after drawing troops.

"There will be no mistake." Wang Lifa said firmly.

These days, they have been using military action. The 1st lunar month seems to be quite crowded, but the Japanese around them are not made of mud. Fortunately, the 1st lunar month is based on the Japanese's property and can be destroyed if they cannot be taken away.

The equipment factories controlled by the Kwantung Army will be blown up and burned as long as they are seen by the 1st Column.

Anyway, it is impossible to eat the upper reaches of the Songhua River with Noji's current strength. Giving the greatest damage to the enemy is also a good result.

The Kwantung Army has a weak foundation. In Zeng Yiyang's words, the Japanese's possessions can bring the Japanese and us on the same starting line as us after a few twists and turns. By that time, when the Japanese were fighting, the canned beef was gone and the 100-meter white flour was gone. The food was worse than the anti-Japanese army and the equipment was similar. Why can't the Japanese beef be driven away?

When Zeng Yiyang said this, with his strong confidence, the officers and soldiers around him also added great confidence.

Wang Lifa is one of them. Since he fought with Zeng Yiyang for 32 years, Wang Lifa has gradually grown from the young man who was carrying a box cannon and rushing upward in the war. It is said that people will change, but what remains unchanged is people's beliefs.

Wang Lifa’s belief is what Zeng Yiyang said: The Japanese can’t jump around for a few years.

Wang Li put down the glasses in his hand. Yesterday he stared at the main road for a whole day, thinking that the Japanese army would arrive in advance, and was nervous, but at night, he didn't see a Japanese soldier coming from the main road. He didn't even dare to take it lightly at night, but the Japanese just didn't come.

This morning, he was not idle for a moment, but the Japanese were still silent.

"Can the Japanese have already received the news?" Wang Lifa asked in his heart, and looked back at Chief of Staff Hu Xiuquan.

Hu Xiuquan smiled bitterly and said, "Commander, we can only wait for half a day at most. If the Japanese don't come again, it means that reinforcements will not come within one or two days, or the Japanese's reinforcements will be a large force, a large force that is ready to bite us back."

"I know this." Wang Lifa was secretly anxious.

Control an area and prevent the message from being transmitted. You can only see one person and catch one person. You must lock it up first, and then let it go after the battle is over.

However, this method cannot be persisted for a long time. Because if the detained person cannot find his family at night, his family will definitely come out to find him after one or two days. If he cannot find him for a few days, he will mobilize his neighbors to find him.

In the end, when there are more people looking for, there will always be people who will see the clues and will not be able to hold on to this secret.

"Come on—"

Suddenly, Hu Xiuquan screamed in shock, and saw from his glasses that the Japanese army lined up in four columns, walking from the distance of the road in a mighty way. The cavalry troops were leading the way, with war horses sniffing and iron hooves stepping on the sand and gravel road with favorable iron hooves.

As the queue moved, at least one squadron of Japanese cavalry appeared in sight.

A corps flag was at the front of the queue. From the glasses, you could even see the arrogant look of the Japanese cavalry, raised their necks and raised their chests. It seemed that they were not here to fight, but to come.

Behind the cavalry, there were cannons pulled by four war horses, which immediately made Wang Lifa's heart tight.

Cavalry Brigade?

Wang Lifa didn't know whether he was an elite Kanto Army, but in his impression, the role of cavalry will be weakened in mountainous areas, especially the impact of war horses. In the mountains and forests, it will not only not be able to be exerted, but also an obstacle to the movement of cavalry.

The Japanese cannons dragged in the middle of the road.

"1,2,3,4..." Hu Xiuquan kept counting in his mouth.

"The flag of the cavalry corps? It should be a standard cavalry corps. If the number of artillery is in line with the number of Japanese artillery corps, it should be the ** cavalry brigade in the Kwantung Army. 33 In Chahar, the main force of the Third Front Army defeated a cavalry brigade of the Kwantung Army." Wang Lifa stared at the Japanese cavalry and said one thing: "At that time, Lao Liu's battalion led to a Kwantung Army cavalry brigade for half a day, and in the end, only more than 30 minor and serious wounded people survived."

Ma Wenjun nodded and recalled: "The battalion you mentioned is Huang Yong's battalion, right?"

"Yeah." Wang Lifa replied softly.

"After the war, Mr. Zeng got angry." Wang Lifa recalled: "Although Huang Yong was commended and later served as the commander of the ** regiment, the battle he fought with the cavalry brigade was analyzed and became a classic case of studying infantry resistance to cavalry..." Halfway through, Wang Lifa suddenly stopped talking, but instead said affirmatively: "It's not wrong, the organization of a cavalry brigade is beneficial to us. Japanese artillery mixed in the middle of the cavalry and can only be used as decorations for a while." Wang Lifa's face was slightly tugged in his mouth, and his heart finally fell down.

"Is it a Japanese cavalry brigade?" All the people came were cavalry, which was very easy to judge. As long as you look at the settings of the Japanese and field artillery gangs, you can see the number of opponent's artillery and guess the opponent's strength. Hu Xiuquan exclaimed and said, "No wonder I waited for more than a day, it turned out to be cavalry. According to the marching speed of the Kwantung Army, the marching speed of the cavalry in one day was about 120 kilometers."

"This cavalry brigade is very rushing. If you persist in this speed, you will have to get to Mudanjiang City." Ma Wenjun also stared at the Japanese army that appeared at the end of the road, with 24 mountain cannons and 12 field cannons. Such equipment is very sharp in field battles.

However, in the ambush, the artillery could only save the cannons first, drag the cannons to escape, wait until the distance of escape, and then set up the cannons to counterattack.

"I was originally expected to be a Japanese infantry in a corps, but I didn't expect that a cavalry brigade would come. The force was similar, at most 4,500 Japanese. But the cavalry was fast, and how to block the cavalry's way and not be broken by these Japanese devils was the focus of this battle. Once these Japanese devils were released, it would undoubtedly be a huge trouble for us. Our cavalry only had a small number of troops, not even a battalion of troops. Once the Japanese army successfully broke through, it would be very easy to use the cavalry's actions to restrain us and create opportunities for the main Japanese forces to return to aid." Hu Xiuquan's concern made sense. At this time, the phone rang. Hu Xiuquan picked up the phone, said a few words, and finally said: "Don't let the phone go."

After saying that, Hu Xiuquan looked at Wang Lifa, and the final decision was him, the commander of the column.

Wang Lifa met Hu Xiuquan's eyes and nodded affirmatively. Hu Xiuquan understood and let go of his hand covering the microphone, saying, "The action will not change, wait for the attack signal."

"Wait, I'll say." Wang Lifa walked to the phone, took the microphone from Hu Xiuquan's hand, and said, "It's not the first time that the cavalry is fighting. In short, no matter how difficult it is, the Japanese artillery must not be allowed to break out."

"Yes, please rest assured that the 4th Brigade will not release a Japanese cannon even if it fights to the last man."

On the other end of the phone, Qiu Yuanzheng, the commander of the 4th Brigade, promised.

Wang Lifa nodded with satisfaction, and without saying anything, he put down the phone.

At this time, he was still a little worried, after all, the cavalry speed was fast. The ambushed by the 1st Column were all infantry. Before the battle started, he could only go in front of the Japanese and set up another line of defense.

"The number of Japanese troops is too large, which is much worse than what we expected. This is why the scouts we sent were unable to deliver messages in time." Hu Xiuquan smiled bitterly. How could two legs run beyond four legs?

In addition, even if the troops of the reconnaissance battalion find the enemy, they still need to take a more difficult road when they come back. The scouts used to avoid opponents are naturally much slower than the Japanese cavalry units.

Wang Lifa thought for a while and ordered: "Send the guard battalion and set up another line of defense on the road to Tokyo City to block the Japanese. Send all the machine guns that can be used in logistics to the guard battalion to fight cavalry, and firepower is the most important."

"Okay, I agree with the commander's opinion." Ma Wenjun immediately signed his name on the order, and this military order had a restraining effect. As long as the military order was passed to the guard battalion, it would need to be completed without any choice.

After all the cannons of the Japanese cavalry brigade entered the ambush circle, the signal squad leader responsible for the general attack signal received a call to send a signal command and issued an order: "All prepare--"
