    Being a famous general is no accident, let alone luck. His courage, strategy, accurate grasp of the ever-changing battlefield situation, and his ability to seize opportunities are all indispensable. For the upcoming blocking war, a temporarily formed army  Major General Jing Zhanqi, commander of the Western Manchuria Interceptor Corps and commander of the 1st Brigade of the 29th Corps, never thought that for five days and five nights, he would be fixed on the line from Shuangliao to Siping, passively blocking and fighting with flesh and blood.  The Kwantung Army, which was several times larger than our own, numbered more than 400,000 people.

    Although this is the usual way of fighting a sniper battle, otherwise, it would not be called a cruel battle. Jing Zhanqi's consideration is not unreasonable, but it requires an opportunity to use the minimum cost to achieve the maximum effect.  .

    Of course, in the first battle, all the troops and firepower must be used to give the Kwantung Army a show of strength. In fact, Jing Zhanqi has ordered all the brigades of the Corps to respond to the Kwantung Army's first attack.  Heavy equipment must be used and not allowed to be retained. We will continue to use the strength of five brigades to build up the momentum of ten or even fifteen brigades. On the Shuangliao front line, the second brigade will soon engage in a firefight with the main force of the 15th Army of the Kwantung Army.  At that time, in the direction of Siping, the vanguard of the Kwantung Army had already appeared in front of the soldiers.

    The aviation fleet appeared at the right time, turning a battle of blocking and breakthrough into an aerial massacre. According to Jing Zhanqi's estimation, the Kwantung Army troops eager to retreat would risk even under such ferocious bombing by the aviation force.  They launched an attack with raindrops of bombs, but for the blocking troops, the pressure was not great.

    But, more than forty minutes of bombing.  Nearly a thousand aviation bombers and fighter jets, using heavy bombs and dense bullets, were in the offensive formation of the Kwantung Army soldiers.  Repeated plows were plowed back and forth, and the explosions caused people to turn on their backs and blood and flesh to fly everywhere. The effect achieved was far greater than what the scenery war flag expected. In the face of the fierce aerial bombardment, the Kwantung Army troops were completely defeated. Although it did not reach the level of  The level of defeat.  But there is also no offensive spirit.

    The one that suffered the greatest losses was the Fifteenth Army of the Kwantung Army, because it was the first unit to launch the attack.  Naturally, it became the focus of Le Yiqin's care. There were almost hundreds of aviation bombers and fighter jets, forming a charge around the two divisions of the 15th Army, throwing bombs vigorously.  Fighters roared past from low altitude.  Pour a stream of bullets onto the heads of the Kwantung Army soldiers.

    To make matters worse, the temporary headquarters of the Fifteenth Army in Gilgalang was also hit by several heavy aerial bombs. Although Lieutenant General Kushima, the commander of the army, was spared, he became another high-ranking Japanese soldier who fell on Chinese soil.  Officer, but a piece of shrapnel still hit Lieutenant General His Excellency, Lieutenant General Hisashima was seriously injured.  Dying, can you survive until the sun comes up tomorrow?  They are all unknown, but they can still command the troops. The command of the 15th Army was naturally distributed to the three division commanders.

    Each had their own plans, and the three division commanders had their own secrets. Naturally, their tactical actions were not coordinated. The two attacking divisions were bombarded with bombs, causing countless casualties. Just gathering the troops was enough.  After working hard for a while, the 37th Division, which was still able to organize an attack and shoulder the task of blocking, was not subjected to the fierce bombing of the independent division aviation, but the overwhelming smoke and deafening loud noise behind it still made the division commander  Lieutenant General Kuriyama was frightened.

    Le Yiqin, who was commanding the fleet in the sky, didn't know what Jing Zhanqi was thinking at this moment, but he had a clear understanding of the battlefield situation. From the bottom of his heart, such a bombing could not lift his spirits at all. What Le Yiqin was passionate about was fighter jets.  The duel between them, the kind of bloody aerial combat, the bombing of the little devils who have no air defense capabilities and no air supremacy is bullying them!

    After overlooking the battlefield and asking formation commanders from other directions, Le Yiqin confirmed that the bombing had achieved the expected results. As usual, he opened the ground-to-air communication channel and called, "Commander Jing Zhanqi of the Western Manchuria Interceptor Corps  Officer, I am aviation commander Le Yiqin. Now, our air formation has completed its bombing mission and will be returning in ten minutes!"

    Jing Zhanqi, who was holding a ground-to-air communication device, was naturally familiar with the famous aviation general Le Yiqin. He quickly said: "Jing Zhanqi thanks Commander Le for providing air fire support to the West Manchurian Interceptor Corps!"

    Le Yiqin smiled and turned off the intercom. In his opinion, such aerial fire support was spread throughout the entire Northeast battlefield. Relatively speaking, the battlefields from Siping to Shuangliao were not considered to be the most common scenes. Words like thanks were also  Listen to a lot.

    Jingzhan Banner put down the intercom, his eyes flashed with cold light, and he said to Chief of Staff Wang Xujiang in a hurried tone: "Chief of Staff, immediately convey my order to all troops, except for one regiment of troops from each brigade to defend the blocking position.  In addition, the rest of the troops, under the cover of tank fire, immediately prepared to launch a full-scale counterattack against the Kwantung Army troops. The specific time to launch the counterattack is awaiting orders from the headquarters! "

    "What?" Wang Xujiang was confusedshouted, "Brigade Commander, please consider carefully. We only have fifteen regiments in total, leaving five regiments. With ten regiments of more than 50,000 troops, we will launch an attack on the more than 400,000 Kwantung Army troops."  Counterattack, if you are not careful, you will be surrounded by the Kwantung Army! "

    Jing Zhanqi¡¯s color suddenly changed and he shouted: ¡°Execute the order, I don¡¯t have time to explain to you!¡±

    The aviation fleet climbed up to form a formation, preparing to return home. Bullets and bombs stopped falling like raindrops above their heads. The Kwantung Army soldiers got up from the ground covered with the blood and broken bodies of their comrades. They looked at the sky in shock, and the independence gradually faded away.  The eyes of the teachers and planes were full of lingering fear!

    Jing Zhanqi put down his telescope and shouted to Wang Xujiang: "The troops attack immediately!"

    On the battlefield from Siping to Shuangliao Blockade, a surprising scene occurred. More than 50,000 independent division soldiers, under the cover of more than 300 tanks, rushed out of the trenches and attacked the Kwantung Army troops on the opposite side who were stunned by the bombing.  , launched a ferocious counterattack, using more than 50,000 troops to counterattack the Kwantung Army's more than 400,000 people. No matter who looked at it, it was an extremely risky move. With one careless move, the Western Manchurian Interceptor Corps fell into the Kwantung Army's counter-encirclement.  , the entire army is annihilated!

    But Jing Zhanqi did this, so that after the war, many officers in the division command criticized it. The sudden counterattack of the West Manchu Interceptor Corps was obviously shocked. They had just been freed from the bombing and had not yet recovered.  The soldiers of the Kwantung Army who arrived suddenly fell into chaos when faced with the counterattack of the independent division troops.

    The five-way counterattack force of the Western Manchuria Interceptor Corps, like five sharp knives, fiercely inserted into the messy formation of the Kwantung Army troops. The tanks continued to pour out shells, and the straight-trajectory shells blew the Kwantung Army soldiers into pieces. The soldiers  The submachine guns in their hands were like the wind blowing, exerting great power in close combat, sweeping away the Kwantung Army soldiers who had lost their organization and were in chaos, like cutting wheat.

    From time to time, wounded soldiers fell down. The field ambulance following behind quickly rescued the wounded soldiers. Jing Zhanqi's counterattack had a miraculous effect. One side had just suffered a fierce bombing, and its organization was disrupted. The soldiers were  When they were still in shock, one side was well prepared and took advantage of the chaos. The battlefield situation changed instantly. Almost in an instant, more than 400,000 Kwantung Army soldiers were beaten until they were stunned and retreated continuously.

    Subsequently, this retreat evolved into a complete rout. It was unbelievable that with a force of more than 50,000 people, more than 400,000 Kwantung Army soldiers were beaten back in embarrassment. However, Jing Zhanqi was not complacent at all. He knew very well that  He was just taking advantage of the situation, and the remaining power of the aviation bombing caught the Kwantung Army off guard, but it was impossible to take advantage of it for a long time.

    Once the commander of the Kwantung Army reacts and gathers his troops, the more than 400,000 Kwantung Army soldiers can squeeze more than 50,000 of his own troops to death. Fight quickly and retreat quickly. This is the essence of this counterattack. Therefore,  , he personally grasped the counterattack distance and speed of each brigade, and immediately ordered the troops to retreat once the battlefield situation changed.

    It was not only Jing Zhanqi, the acting commander of the Western Manchuria Interceptor Corps, who was able to seize the fighter plane. Major General Yuan Jinghao, the commander of the North China Field Corps, which commanded more than 400,000 troops and pursued the Kwantung Army in the Western Manchuria area, also had a large-scale aviation force.  During the bombing, he saw fighter planes. Previously, he had been struggling with how to penetrate the depth of the more than 400,000 Kwantung Army and send several brigades of troops to the weak Western Manchurian blocking force.

    Now, the opportunity came, Yuan Jinghao immediately issued an order: "The second, third, fourth, and fifth brigade of the Baolong Mountain pursuit force, the first armored brigade, and their self-propelled artillery regiments and heavy artillery regiments, immediately  With swift and violent movements, we broke through the depth of the Kwantung Army troops, joined up with the Western Manchu Interceptor Corps on the Shuangliao and Siping lines, and accepted the command of the regiment commander Jing Zhanqi! "

    "The order of the attack is as follows. The 1st Tank Brigade of the Armored Corps is the leader, the 2nd Brigade is responsible for covering the left wing, the 3rd Brigade is responsible for covering the right wing, the 4th Brigade and the 5th Brigade are responsible for the breakthrough in the middle. Remember, do not be reluctant to fight, and do not compete with Kanto.  With the ultimate goal of reaching the front line from Siping to Shuangliao, the other brigades of the Corps will launch a full-line attack to cover your actions! "

    Yuan Jinghao's eyes were vicious and bold enough, but Han Guangqi, the Corps Chief of Staff, had no objection at all. He also strongly agreed with the commander's choice of the direction of the Kwantung Army's Fifteenth Army for the penetration location. There was only one reason, the Fifteenth Army.  The army has already lost one division, and its strength is relatively weak, making it easier to break through.

    Lieutenant General Kushima, the commander of the Fifteenth Army of the Kwantung Army, was really unlucky. The first victim of the North China Field Corps was his 36th Division. The aviation bombing focused on the Fifteenth Army.  At the head of the army, now, the attack spearhead of a tank brigade and four mechanized infantry brigades of the North China Field Corps has chosen to be in the direction of the 15th Army. If Commander Jiudao wakes up at this momentIn the future, I am afraid I will be angry to death, or scared to death!
