Republic of China game

Feng Yuxiang smiled lightly: "Zuibo, your first division is responsible for the three-kilometer defense line from Maoling Mountain, Yanchi Mountain to Hongshan, right? You have to defend it for five days no matter what. After five days, I will let Xiaodong (Li Mingzhong)'s first division The third master is here to replace you. If there is an emergency..."

Lu Zhonglin snapped to attention, saluted Feng Yuxiang again, and said loudly, "If Maoling Mountain, Yanchi Mountain, and Hongshan Mountain are lost within five days, I would like to come and see you!"

Feng Yuxiang glanced at Han Fuju and Guo Zhigang, the two brigade commanders of the first division, just sneered twice, and waved Lu Zhonglin to sit down without saying anything.Then he turned his head and smiled dryly at Liu Yufen: "Lanjiang, I have handed over the front line of Maoling Mountain, Yanchi Mountain, and Hongshan to Lu Ruibo. The [-]-kilometer line of defense from Maoling Mountain to Xiaoqing River is your first line of defense. The second division is stationed, how many days can it last?"

Cold sweat broke out on Liu Yufen's bald head. He took the lead in betraying Feng Yuxiang in the 14th year of the Republic of China. Although he "repented" later, he was already a different kind of person after all.Therefore, his Second Division is currently the weakest in the National Coalition Army, and this time it was assigned to defend the defense line from Xiaoqinghe to Maoling Mountain in Yimapingchuan.No matter how you look at it, this is a bit of public revenge...

"A humble job... a humble job can last up to three days!" Liu Yufen gritted his teeth and reported for three days, but he was really not sure about five days.

"What if you can't keep it?" Feng Yuxiang looked at him with a smile.

"People are on the battlefield, and people are dying on the battlefield..."

"You can't die even if you die!" Feng Yuxiang stood up abruptly, looking at the generals with a livid face: "This battle is about the life and death of our national army! If it is done well, this reputation will be erected, and no one will dare to fight in the future." If I fail, I, Feng Yuxiang, will die in Wanzhu Garden! I will die with the city! But I promise everyone, before I die, I will send you to the road one by one! Do you understand! "

"I understand the humble job!" How dare the twenty younger brothers below say that they don't understand?Hurry up and shout out.

Feng Yuxiang scanned the generals and said with a smile: "Right now, people from various factions have donated a sum of money to us, more than 500 million French currency. After the meeting is over, I will ask you to share one point, and the brothers below will also share some. Alright, that's it." After speaking, he glanced at everyone again, then stood up and walked away under the guard of the guards.

……

"Air attack! Air attack! Concealment! Concealment quickly..."

The Second Sendai Division of the Japanese Army has now learned to deal with air strikes. In fact, they already have this aspect in their training subjects.And everyone has practiced seriously.It's just that the bombing this morning came too suddenly and too bizarre... No such thing as "the rise of China" has ever been mentioned in any newspapers in Japan.Unless they are working in places like the Ministry of Army or the General Staff Headquarters, ordinary Japanese officers and soldiers of the middle and lower ranks simply don't believe that China actually has planes!And make it yourself.

It is now three o'clock in the afternoon, and the Second Division is about to be bombed by the fourth round of today's bombing!This time, only a faint "buzzing" sound was heard.The head of the division, Akai Haruhi, was like a ghost who was afraid of death, and immediately jumped out of the car with a yell. At the same time, he also ordered the staff of the division headquarters to join him and dive into the farmland beside the road.Like their division commander, the marching team of the entire second division commander was scattered and lying down in the fields on both sides of the road.There is only a long list of various cars, carriages, artillery...waiting to be destroyed by Li Wenhua's dive bomber.Oh, and on top of that there are some brave anti-aircraft artillerymen scrambling to unload their anti-aircraft guns, trying to land a few rounds before the air raid is over.

Akai Harumi's face was gloomy, clutching his helmet, he raised his head and looked at the dozens of small planes with the blue sky and white sun logo slowly flying over from the sky.Waiting for them to use the damn bombs to blow up all the heavy weapons of their troops... This is just a few dozen planes to make yourself embarrassed. If hundreds of planes flock to drop bombs, you I'm afraid that the Second Division of the Chinese Communist Party will collapse in the first round of air strikes, right?Looks like this invasion of China was a fool!Even without seeing the enemy face to face, hundreds of people and dozens of cannons have already been lost. If this continues, what are we going to use to fight Jinan?

"Boom..." There was a loud noise.A routine bombing began again.

The first to be bombed were those brave anti-aircraft artillerymen. They had just unfurled a few heavy Taisho 11-year 75mm anti-aircraft guns, and they were bombed before they had time to reload and aim.The anti-aircraft guns equipped with infantry in this era are all cumbersome and heavy anti-aircraft guns. They can be used to fight large horizontal bombers, but it depends entirely on character to fight small dive bombers.

……

"The alarm is cleared! The alarm is cleared! The alarm is cleared..."

The bombing in less than 10 minutes ended quickly. This bombing did not cause many casualties, but the heavy weapons and equipment destroyed were still considerable.In particular, the artillery equipped by the Second Division has obviously become the focus of the Chinese bombers. The three rounds of bombing almost destroyed more than half of the more than one hundred artillery pieces of the Second Division.Fortunately, it was already getting dark. Otherwise, with a few more rounds of air, the Japanese Second Division would have changed from infantry to riflemen...

……

Just as the westward Japanese invaders suffered a sudden air strike.In the western, southwestern and southern regions of Shandong Province.Another long-planned "invasion" is also proceeding step by step according to plan.

From the perspective of the entire Chinese nation, this invasion should be called "unification" more appropriately.From the point of view of the poor and lower-middle peasants in Shandong, who were neither fed nor warmly clothed, the invasion represented "liberation."For the group of almost cold-blooded senior generals in the Xuzhou Garden Hotel, it was nothing more than dozens of arrows and small needles on the military map inserted into Shandong from three directions at the same time.Then move east and north little by little until the edge of the sea and the Yellow River.

On the land of Luxi, Lunan and Lunan, groups of Kuomintang soldiers wearing steel helmets and covered in dust, marched continuously for several kilometers.These armies are usually based on battalions, and there is no good equipment.The stride soldiers carried a rifle on their shoulders, and some carried a fake Czech light machine gun. In addition, each battalion also had two 60mm mortars.There were as many as 69 such battalions, with a total strength of about 5000 troops.As soon as they crossed the Shandong provincial border, they quickly divided into more than a dozen groups according to the direction planned in advance, and rushed straight to the county towns of more than a dozen counties.

Working with them was a special organization called the "KMT Land Reform Task Force." They were composed of civilian officials from the National Government's Land Reform Commission, special agents from the Investigation Bureau of the Kuomintang Central Party Committee, and special agents from the Kuomintang Military Intelligence Bureau. composed of personnel.Their task is to establish a local government in Shandong within a short period of time, and to complete the "KMT-style" land reform as quickly as possible.In addition, it is necessary to command the dozens of security battalions to eliminate bandits and landlords in Shandong, and to collect weapons to ensure social order and the reactionary rule of the Kuomintang.

The first day of the Kuomintang's "invasion" of Shandong was basically a slow, dull, and risk-free advance.After a day of eating ashes on the dusty road, I can often reach a certain county town before dark.Then they waved the blue sky and white sun flag to intimidate, and sometimes they needed to shoot a few shots into the sky.Usually the gates of the county town will be opened obediently, and the common people who are obviously a little restless and frightened are organized by a group of "gentlemen and businessmen" who are also shivering, and they will welcome all kinds of food on both sides of the streets in the county town... In the end, the battalion commanders and land reform task force captains who led the team could get a big red envelope!Uh, according to the order, they must accept these "bribes" immediately and with the most sincerity. It is said that if they don't accept them, they will be so worried that they will not be able to sleep!However, the money is then divided equally between all members of the battalion and task force.

The 69 officers and soldiers of the [-]th and [-]th Divisions of the Anhui Division, which were supposed to resist this "invasion", received orders from Zang Zhiping and Wang Yongquan, the two division commanders and masters, to lay down their weapons and accept the Kuomintang's attack in the early morning of this day. adaptation.The officers and soldiers of these two divisions will be broken up and incorporated into the [-] security battalions of the Kuomintang, and will become part of the local armed forces of the Kuomintang in Shandong.

When the sun was setting that day, the huge military map of Shandong Province in Luo Yaoguo's office included Rizhao County, Ju County, Linyi County, Tancheng County, Fei County, Yi County, Teng County, Yutai County, Shan County, Nineteen counties, including Jinxiang County, Cao County, Chengwu County, Dingtao County, Heze County, Jining County, Juye County, Jiaxiang County, Pu County, and Yuncheng County, have painted signs of blue sky and white sun beside the county towns. It shows that they are already under the rule of the Kuomintang.

But now Luo Yaoguo's eyes are not looking at the counties that have just been "conquered" by the Kuomintang, but are fixed on the red arrow representing the Japanese army in the east of Jinan city!This arrow is only one step away from Jinan City, and perhaps there will be a battle between dragons and tigers tonight.

Chapter 0420 Battle of Jinan ([-])

"Bombardment! Concealment..."

As an orange-red fireball soared into the air on the main position of Maoling Mountain in the east of Jinan City, the defense of Jinan officially kicked off.Just like Luo Yaoguo's analysis, the Japanese army was already aware of the threat from the air, so it was very wise to put the attack at night.

At five or six o'clock this afternoon, the vanguard of the Japanese Sendai Second Division, the Sendai Fourth Regiment, arrived on the open plain east of Maoling Mountain.Probably because they were "ravaged" by the Kuomintang planes all day, the morale of these little devils seemed to be a little bit low, and their actions were a little more cautious.He didn't go into the attack immediately, but carefully started to build a position outside the fire range of the defenders.It was not until [-] o'clock in the evening, after the night had completely enveloped the entire battlefield in the eastern suburbs of Jinan, that thousands of elite Japanese devils, under the organization of the officers, sat quietly with the [-]-type rifles equipped with long bayonets. In the dug trench, waiting for the order to attack.

Like them, more than 500 officers and soldiers of the Second Regiment of the First Brigade of the First Division of the National Coalition Army on the main positions of Maoling Mountain and Yanchi Mountain on the opposite side have also made all preparations... Before dinner, each soldier received a After arriving at a few pieces of French currency with a denomination of one yuan, they collectively prayed to Grandpa God under the leadership of the group seat Wu Huawen.Uh, Commander-in-Chief Feng gave up communism and changed back to Christianity after attending the wedding of Chiang Kai-shek and Sister Song Yu in the 15th year of the Republic of China.After praying, we ate delicious pork stewed vermicelli.In the end, the stern-faced First Brigade Commander Han Fuju personally announced the discipline on the battlefield, and there was also a team of supervisors walking around in front of them with scary ghost-headed swords!Brigadier Han will personally lead these supervising teams to fight in front of Maoling Mountain and Yanchi Mountain. Anyone who dares to retreat without authorization, no matter who they are, will kill one when they see it!Of course, behind Brigadier Han there is the supervisory team led by the First Division Commander Lu Zhonglin himself, and behind Commander Lu is Commander Feng who sits in Dongguan, Jinan!It is said that behind Commander Feng is the discerning eyes of the people of the whole country. In short, it has reached this point, and I am afraid that it will not work if you don't fight...

After a few test shots, the Japanese artillery finally began to violently pour shells into the entire Jinan Eastern Front defensive position.About [-] kilometers behind the starting position of the Japanese attack, on the Japanese artillery cluster position, nearly [-] mountain guns, field guns, and howitzers of various calibers are neatly lined up. All the muzzles of the guns are raised high, pointing to the western sky.As the flag directing the shelling was waved up and down, a shiny shell was filled into the barrel and then spit out.The high-speed spinning shells supported the long orange-red tail flames, as if shooting stars across the sky and heading straight for the positions of the Nationalist coalition forces!

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

The ensuing explosion began to pound the ground violently, and the powerful shock wave formed a scorching air wave. Countless tiny metal fragments seemed to be death scythes that harvested life, spinning at high speed and flying around, sweeping across the entire defensive position.The ground began to shake violently. Even at the starting position of the Japanese army's attack, one could feel the strong shock, as if the whole ground was distorted.

Hideki Tojo, the new captain of the Fourth Wing of the Japanese Army, was standing behind the position of the Fourth Wing at this moment, holding a six-fold military telescope to observe the main position of Maoling Mountain opposite.Seeing that the defense line on the opposite side was shrouded in orange-red flames, a slightly contemptuous smile slipped across Tojo's always gloomy face.

"Ishihara-kun." Putting down the binoculars in his hand, Tojo turned around and smiled faintly at Ishihara, the staff officer of the dispatched army headquarters: "The artillery guys are avenging the bombing they suffered during the day, maybe later When our [-]th Regiment attacked, there were no Chinese people alive there. I’m afraid your feints, outflanking, and surprise attacks were done in one fell swoop many times, right? In my opinion, it’s not that troublesome to attack these Chinese people. Just rush over from the front and drive them away! With our invincible Second Division, there is no problem in going to Wuhan to capture Sun Yat-sen alive..."

Because Ishihara Waner had met the legendary "China Army God" Luo Yaoguo several times, he was hired by Nobuyoshi Muto as a staff officer in his headquarters.This time, a plan to encircle and wipe out the "China Jinan Corps" was also formulated, and it was approved by Muto.According to this plan, the Second Division and the Sixth Division of the Japanese Army will launch a feint attack due east of Jinan to attract the main force and reserve forces of the Chinese army.The Hiroshima 10,000th Division had to travel lightly from the mountainous area south of the battlefield, through Coffin Mountain, Limao Mountain, and Luozi Mountain to the south of the Jinan city defense line, and surprise the Qianfo Mountain position defended by the Anhui army.After succeeding, bypass the city wall of Jinan's outer city and directly attack Jinan's commercial port, cutting off the retreat of the [-]+ Chinese troops in Jinan City, so as to achieve the goal of annihilating the defenders.

However, this perfect combat plan was unanimously opposed by the Second Division.It is estimated that the Kuomintang's dive bombers were tormented during the day, right?Right now, they are suffocating evil spirits and want to break into Jinan City to avenge their revenge and then win the first prize by the way!So Ishihara Wan'er had no choice but to rush over from Wei County non-stop in person to do the ideological work of the Second Division.Uh, in fact, Muto asked him to come and scold the military leaders of the Second Division to vent his anger.It's just that this Shi Yuan is a character who can be used as a doormat?It's not bad for his poisonous mouth not to anger others.

"Hi." Ishihara Waner listened patiently to Hideki Tojo's nagging, and then smiled coldly: "According to intelligence, the Chinese Nationalist Party has a thousand planes. I don't know that our invincible Second Division can fight How many down?"

"Bage! The Imperial Japanese Army also has planes! As long as our planes are dispatched, those Chinese planes that lag behind will be wiped out!" Hideki Tojo gave Ishihara a hard look and almost slapped him Hit up.Today, the Second Division didn't take down a single plane. After a day of bombing in vain, hundreds of them were killed, and almost one cannon of the artillery regiment was lost, but the enemy had zero casualties!This matter has almost been regarded as a great shame and shame by the whole Second Division... It is really unreasonable for this Ishihara to be sarcastic in front of Tojo without any politeness!

Ishihara glanced at Tojo, who was in a violent state, with cold eyes, and said coldly: "Baron Tokugawa (Tokugawa Hotoshi) has admitted that all the aircraft currently owned by the Imperial Army, Navy, and Air Force are outdated, and they are not Chinese at all. The opponent of the Kuomintang aviation! And today's air strike by the China Air Force on the Second Division has demonstrated the great role of air superiority in modern warfare. This time, the Kuomintang army with air superiority is actually invincible!"

"Nani!" Hideki Tojo opened his mouth halfway, his eyes widened, staring at Ishihara Waner in front of him, and then cursed again after a long while: "Hachihara! Ishihara Waner, do you know what you are talking about?" Do you think we are going to lose..." At this point, Tojo looked around hurriedly, then lowered his voice and reprimanded: "Ishihara, are you still His Majesty's samurai? How can you say such a thing... how can you How about this! If I were you, I would be so ashamed that I would have to cut seppuku now!"

Ishihara burst out laughing, shook his head and sighed: "Tojo, are you really out of your mind? Army University seems to have taught such things as strategy, have you forgotten?"

"You!" Tojo unconsciously put his hand on the samurai sword, looking like he was about to cut someone...

"Tojo-kun." Ishihara shook his head with a smile, and smiled: "This time it is our war with China, not our war with the Chinese Kuomintang! Do you understand? It doesn't matter whether we can defeat the Chinese Kuomintang army, as long as we can Get enough victories from the various factions in the northern branch, and then... make peace with the Kuomintang. Therefore, this time we must annihilate the defenders of the various factions in Jinan City, and we must show them the Imperial Japanese Army It is powerful and invincible! In this way, some people in the southern branch of the Kuomintang will feel fear, and we will be able to achieve a decent peace, which is what Nagata-kun means."

Hearing what Big Brother Nagata Tieshan meant, Hideki Tojo slowly took his hand away from the samurai sword, but his face was still blank: "If you wipe out the Chinese army in Jinan City, you can get what the empire wants... "

Ishihara smiled sneeringly: "Of course it's fine, all in war is to intimidate the enemy and make them obey your will!"

……

Jinan, Dongguan.

Feng Yuxiang is now standing on the towering city wall of Jinan Dongguan, looking with a livid face at the Jinan Eastern Front battlefield shrouded in Japanese artillery fire.The city wall where he is now is more than four kilometers away from the main positions of Maoling Mountain and Yanchi Mountain, which are undergoing heavy shelling.But he could still clearly feel the ground trembling, he could still hear a series of dense roars, and he seemed to feel waves of heat waves coming towards his face with a strong smell of gunpowder smoke...

Deng Yanda put down the binoculars in his hand and shook his head slightly: "The Japanese bombardment is so violent! It's... really unimaginable! Are they planning to use shells to wipe Maoling Mountain off the map?"

Although these two were famous generals on the stage of the Chinese Civil War, they had never encountered such a powerful enemy as the Japanese army, let alone the power of a salvo of more than two hundred cannons.Uh, Deng Yanda never bothered to watch the flashy exercises of the National Revolutionary Army, otherwise he would have been able to enjoy the thrilling scene before him earlier, which was even more terrifying than this.

Not far away, a group of Kuomintang army aviation generals wearing blue military uniforms also moved to small benches and sat on the high walls of Jinan City to watch the battle.Uh, one of them is Feng Dafei, commander of the Red Army Air Force wearing an octagonal hat.Commander Feng is now quite familiar with this group of Kuomintang colleagues, and he also witnessed an air attack on the Japanese army in a reconnaissance plane converted from an A-1 light bomber.To be honest, Commander Feng still admires the flying skills of these somewhat reactionary guys in front of him.It is not an easy job to fly a plane straight down from an altitude of 3000 meters and drop the bombs on the Japanese heads accurately!

Li Wenhua and Liu Yongyao put down the binoculars at the same time.Liu Yongyao frowned: "There are three divisions?"

Li Wenhua smiled deeply: "It is also possible that there are two divisions and a field heavy artillery regiment. Judging from the density of the shelling, it seems that there are about 150 cannons. From the sound, there are 150mm howitzers. It should be the Taisho Four-year [-]mm field howitzer. The performance of the gadget is about the same as our Min [-]th Type. The artillery regiment of each Japanese division has a brigade of [-] guns, but there should be a division that is temporarily gone."

Liu Yongyao glanced at Li Wenhua, who was a little proud, and snorted: "Just brag, General Feng Huanzhang and our General Deng Zesheng don't believe it."

Li Wenhua turned his head to look at Feng Feida beside him, and smiled bitterly: "We didn't believe the General Deng that we reported, but the General Deng that Brother Dafei reported believed everything without saying a word."
