"Arsenals and military industry bureaus around the world will step up the production of various military weapons from now on, especially cutting-edge weapons such as aircraft, tanks, and heavy artillery. There are also several major shipyards that must also step up the construction of giant ships and submarines. I request that Before the war begins, the total number of aircraft in the empire must reach 30, the tank corps must reach the size of [-] divisions, and the submarine formation must reach [-]."

"According to the order."

"Although Japan and North Korea are small countries, this war must not be ignored. After all, we have not fully figured out the real military strength of Japan. After the meeting, order the Northeast Frontier Guards to quickly gather in the Yalu River Basin and observe at any time The movement of the Japanese army, as long as the Japanese dare to cross the river, they will resolutely attack at all costs.

Once the war starts, the Northeast Frontier Army will cross the Yalu River as the vanguard, and the Southwest Military Region and the Northwest Military Region will send ten group armies to follow up as follow-up troops, enter North Korea, capture the country, and then use North Korea as a bridgehead. East, march into the Japanese archipelago! Guan Xuqing stood up fiercely, holding the two corners of the jade table with both hands, his eyes were shining brightly, and said loudly: "In history, the Japanese have tried to invade our country many times. This time, I will completely remove this country from the map." disappear! "

Resurgence: The Second World War Chapter 529 Rekindling the War

Andong is a small border town located at the confluence of the Yalu River and the Yellow Sea. It faces North Korea's Xin'an County across the river, but because of its prominent geographical location, it has become the focus of attention in Asia at this time!

The town, which used to be quiet and peaceful in the past, has suddenly become tense in recent days. The people here are surprised to find that batch after batch of troops have stationed outside the town. It is impossible to count how many people there are, so people It's starting to get jittery, and there's a lot of speculation, but the most popular one is that there's going to be a big battle, but it's certain.

At this time, the sky was full of stars, and the warm and humid sea breeze blew over every inch of land here. Except for a few rustling sounds of the wind blowing the branches and leaves, the whole town was extremely quiet.At this time, the people in the town have already slept peacefully, and the lights of the neatly packed barracks outside the town have also been turned off. Only in a temporary wooden structure house, there is still a dim light. People don't know , An important military meeting is being held here, presided over by Zhang Zuolin, the governor of Northeast China and Eastern Siberia, who is famous all over the world.

At this meeting, Yang Yuting, Chief of Staff of the Northeast Frontier Defense Forces, reported on the defense plan near the Yalu River.The General Staff predicted the combat routes of the Japanese and North Korean troops after crossing the Yalu River, and put forward targeted defense policies.

Generally speaking, this defense plan is indeed very thorough and practical, but it seems that it is not enough to reduce the casualties of the Predator.The border guards have set up a wide variety of trenches, traffic trenches, underground command posts, artillery outposts, bright and dark forts, barbed wire fences, bright and dark sentries, anti-cannon caves, and caves for hiding soldiers on various traffic arteries, passes, and highlands in Changbai Mountain.The garrison positions and attack routes of each regiment are divided in detail.The preset positions, shelling coordinates, evacuation routes and reserve positions of each artillery company are also indicated in detail.

The tactical objectives of each combat unit, including armored units, are also very clear.

Zhang Zuolin shook his head, feeling that something was wrong, and tapped his fingers on the table and said, "Why do I always feel that there is an omission here. Let me ask you, if the enemy doesn't follow our expected attack method and route, what will happen to your plans?" You will have to make big changes accordingly, and I see that many of your plans are imaginary steps taken by the enemy, and corresponding measures are taken in a targeted manner. It seems that you have not left enough plans. After all, the enemy can have many choose.

For example, on the same offensive route, the enemy can use curved lines, straight lines, roundabouts, etc., and a border line as long as the Yalu River, the enemy can cross from any point, and these aspects need to be carefully considered. "

"Yes." Yang Yuting's attitude was respectful, but his tone was still confident: "But when we made the plan, we mainly considered that in the initial stage, the enemy is mainly attacking, while our army is mainly defensive. So we stipulated In addition to the fixed trenches, the participating troops also added more traffic trenches. No matter where the enemy is attacking, the troops can move quickly through the traffic trenches. Unless the enemy's strategic offensive direction changes. But from the current intelligence summary and analysis Judging from it, this possibility can basically be dispatched.”

Everyone knows that Yang Yuting is a high-achieving student who graduated from the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy, and he is the most familiar with the Japanese tactics.

Feng Linge, the commander of the 2nd Army, thought for a while and said: "But what if the enemy completely covers our army's position with heavy artillery first? Can these communication trenches still play a role?"

"This is the only thing we need to worry about. If this happens, there is only one way. That is to forcibly maneuver, and at the same time the artillery suppresses the enemy's blocking artillery strike group. However, a considerable price will still be paid."

Sun Liechen, the commander of the 3rd Army, has always been mature and prudent. He looked at him after careful consideration and said, "However, we can still transfer and maneuver our troops, provided that we sacrifice a large number of soldiers."

When Yang Yuting heard that the other party was talking about the vital point, he had no choice but to nod in agreement.

"Not right, not right." Zhang Zuolin waved his hand, "This kind of thing is common in battle, but I don't want the Northeast Army to suffer heavy casualties. Can you think of a better way?"

"Dig a tunnel, that is, dig a tunnel. Connect the main positions with tunnels. Even if the surface positions are completely destroyed by the enemy's artillery fire, our troops can still maneuver through the tunnels." Zhang Kai, the chief of the combat department, said suddenly.

Everyone's eyes brightened: "Yes, the geology of Changbai Mountain is still very suitable for digging tunnels."

Wu Junsheng, the commander of the 4th Army, hesitated for a moment and said: "But some places are full of hard rocks, so I'm afraid it's not suitable."

Guo Songling, the commander of the 5th Army, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be so stubborn, isn't there many caves in Changbai Mountain? Find the local mountain people as guides, and open up suitable places according to our needs. Isn't it just a ready-made tunnel?"

"However, the enemy has a large number of troops stationed in Sinuiju, and they may launch an attack here at any time. Is there still time for us to dig tunnels?" Zhang Sifei, the chief of the adjutant's department, said worriedly.

Yang Yuting thought for a while and said, "It's definitely too late to finish everything, but it can be carried out on the back position, and you can dig as much as you can."

Everyone agrees.Zhang Zuolin also nodded.

"Now, the Northeast Frontier Army we assembled has four group armies. According to the establishment of four armies for each group army and four divisions for each army, the total strength is about 66. A total of 31 divisions were deployed. According to the number of 15000 people in each division of the Japanese army formation, the total strength of Japan in North Korea has reached 37, and the mercenaries of the puppet government in North Korea are said to have 50. , and the stragglers scattered all over the place may add up to twice the number of our army. From the perspective of military strength, our side is at a disadvantage, but fortunately the Ministry of the Army is stepping up the mobilization of troops from various places to support the frontline operations, so , I think the temporary disparity in military strength is not a problem.

In terms of arms allocation, each group army of the Northeast Army is equipped with two mechanized divisions, a field infantry division, a mountain division, an independent artillery division, and independent brigades and regiments. There are four air force bases in Dalian and Harbin, with 300 fighters of various types, and these fighters are specially designed to be suitable for landing on various complex terrains. At present, it is not heard that Japan has deployed aircraft in North Korea. Therefore, in the war, we will fully Take control of the air. "Yang Yuting's analysis was very thorough, and his tone was full of military confidence.

Zhang Zuolin slapped the table excitedly, stood up and said, "Yes! Let the little Japanese devils and North Koreans taste the taste of gas bombs and incendiary bombs at the critical moment."

As soon as I said this, I heard a loud "boom" outside, the ground trembled violently, sawdust from the ceiling scattered on people's heads, Zhang Zuolin didn't pay attention, and almost fell down.Immediately afterwards, "Boom, boom, boom..." The huge cannon kept ringing.

An adjutant pushed the door open and said in a trembling voice, "Commander, the Japanese...the Japanese fired at Anton!"

Zhang Zuolin was taken aback for a moment, then scolded the son of a bitch, and said to the people present: "Now I order the official start of the war against North Korea!"

"Yes!" All the officers stood up, saluted neatly, and returned to their positions to prepare for battle.

On April 4th, the Japanese 4th Division stationed in Sinuiju discovered that the Chinese troops were working on tunnels. They understood that once the tunnels were completed, it would make future attacks extremely difficult. Therefore, the commander of the 4th Division, Lieutenant General Eiichi Omoto After reporting the information upwards, he immediately received an order from the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, Dazuo Kawamoto, to launch an attack, so he gave the order to bombard the attack.

The fierce shelling for 10 minutes caught off guard the Chinese frontier guards who were working in the tunnels and suffered certain casualties, causing panic and confusion.The Japanese army took the opportunity to send engineering troops across the Yalu River in small boats, established a small beachhead, and immediately started the construction of the pontoon bridge.

At 8:30 in the evening, several cruisers and destroyers from the 11th Squadron of the Japanese Second Fleet also rushed to the mouth of the Yalu River to support the Japanese army with naval guns, so that the construction of the two pontoon bridges of the Japanese engineering unit was successfully completed.

On the one hand, Zhang Zuolin ordered the organization to block the Japanese army, and on the other hand, he ordered to protect the people in the Andong area to temporarily evacuate from the dangerous area. After the arrangements were made, he urgently called several senior generals to the temporary headquarters.

"Marshal, the latest battle report shows that the 4th and 14th regiments of the 16th Division of the Japanese Army have crossed the Yalu River, broke through our army's three trench defenses along the river, and were captured by our army's fourth line of defense on the edge of Andong City. The line of defense blocked it, and its follow-up troops were continuously passing through the pontoon bridge." Yang Yuting told Zhang Zuolin and everyone present the latest battle report.

"Damn it, the little Japan is advancing so fast? It seems that they have already made full preparations." Zhang Zuolin cursed while rubbing his bald head.

Tang Yulin, the commander of the 1st Army, said anxiously: "The Japanese army launched a surprise attack under the suppression of artillery fire. The two battalions deployed by our army at the front were not prepared at all. Under the sudden artillery fire, they suffered heavy losses. The reserve team has not yet gone up. To fill up, the Japanese naval guns also started shelling, blocking the route for the supplementary troops to enter the position. Therefore, the soldiers who survived in the forward position can only spontaneously block the Japanese army."

Zhang Zuolin was so angry that he yelled at Tang Yulin: "What a fool! What are they doing for food? Could it be that the enemy won't attack unless they declare war? The Japanese tactics are always unpredictable. I don't know this at all, so why should I be in command?" official!"

"The front line reacted fairly quickly. They stabilized their foothold on the fourth line of defense, and invested 5 battalions of troops into the two lines of defense in the city of Andong through traffic trenches and some tunnels. I believe that the Japanese army will not use the entire division. If you throw it in, you won't be able to break through Anton's defense line." Yang Yuting persuaded.

Only then did Zhang Zuolin's brows relax a little, and he asked again, "What about other places?"

"The Japanese army's surprise attack this time was very sudden, and there was no good communication between the ministries. The Japanese army in other places just learned that the 4th Division had launched an attack, so they hurriedly made various offensive preparations, so other places were relatively calm. Of course, the defense forces in other places have also raised their vigilance, and this situation in Anton will never happen."

Resurgence: World War II Chapter 5 Japanese Raid

"Your Majesty, Japan launched an artillery attack on the Andong area last night. The Fourth Division of the Japanese Army used artillery fire to suppress and forcibly cross the Yalu River, and there was a fierce exchange of fire with the border guards. Fortunately, our military made preparations first, and finally succeeded in blocking the attempt. Breakthrough enemy troops." The next morning, Xu Shichang reported the battle situation in Andong.

"Japan is cunning and cunning by nature. Sudden attacks are their usual practice, and they are also very effective. I told Zhang Zuolin to be cautious when fighting against Japan. In addition, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued an announcement to all countries in the world, stating that the Japanese and North Korean troops took the lead in launching a war of aggression against our country last night. The empire is bound to fight the enemy to the end!"

"twitter."

As soon as the news came out, it immediately attracted worldwide attention.Each country started from its own position and expressed different voices.

German Chancellor Hitler was the first to issue a diplomatic announcement, "The Chinese government must recognize the current situation. Japan will not hesitate to confront China in order to safeguard the interests of North Korea, a small and weak nation. This is the inevitable act of any righteous country in the world, like China. Such an ancient and backward autocratic government will greatly endanger the democratic process of the world, and claim to support Japan's just actions. If the Chinese government wants to avoid war, it must be reorganized and become a friend of democratic countries, otherwise it is an enemy of democratic countries."

The governments of Japan and North Korea also issued a statement: "The Chinese government must make an explanation to the governments and people of the two countries, must bring the perpetrators of the Wanbaoshan incident and the Nakamura incident to justice, and hand them over to Japan for trial, and must make compensations from the new Chinese government. As for the loss of Asahi and Japan's rights and interests in the Far East since its establishment, we must take practical actions to prove that the Chinese government is a trustworthy friend, otherwise, the armies of both Asahi and Japan will fight to the end!"

The Italian government also issued a statement from the standpoint of its ally Japan, saying: "The Chinese government is an authoritarian government that has caused great damage to the interests of European powers in the Far East over the years. In order to protect the interests of European countries, especially Germany and Italy's sacred interests in the Far East, and in order to force the Chinese government to give up its monopoly on the European economy, Italy will take necessary measures and, where appropriate, take unified action with Japan." Italy is obviously standing behind Germany and shouting, this time the statement Openly stated that if China does not withdraw its debt relationship with Italy, Italy may become China's new enemy at any time.

However, what surprised Guan Xuqing was that this time the Soviet government pointed out tit-for-tat with the Axis powers: "Germany and Italy are still stuck in the stupid colonialist thinking, and they are in the company of a beast country like Japan, which is enough to prove that the two countries The government is reactionary and goes against the will of the people. As for whether the Chinese government is democratic, it is up to the Chinese people to decide.”

Not only that, the U.S. government also clearly pointed out this time, "Germany is a country of global dictatorship. I hope that the German and Italian governments will face up to this and return to the path of a normal country as soon as possible."

French Prime Minister Daladier publicly issued a statement with a good-natured attitude: "God wants to destroy people, he must first make people crazy. The world has gone crazy once, and no one wants to see a second time."

Soon after, Emperor Guan Xuqing of the Chinese Empire immediately issued an announcement to the world: "The Chinese nation has always been a peace-loving nation, and has never invaded other countries and nations in history. The Chinese nation has never liked war. But this does not mean that the Chinese nation is afraid of war, if someone wants to impose war on us, we will deal the most merciless blow to the enemy!"

The 4th Division of the Japanese Army, which had been unable to start the situation in Anton, had to temporarily stop its offensive and began to build fortifications at the front.In order to quickly complete the plan of the Japanese base camp across the Yalu River, on April 4, the 7th Division of the Japanese Army set out from Shuozhou to launch a tentative attack on Taipinggou.However, since the 7st and 1nd Armored Divisions of the 1st Group Army of the Northeast Army were secretly hidden around Taipinggou, in order to avoid early exposure, a large number of fortification groups and field troops were deployed around Taipinggou, which made the 2th Division of the Kwantung Army The regiment's attack hit the nail on the head from the start.

In order to prove his ability to the base camp and the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, General Ishii, Lieutenant General Ishii of the 7th Division needs to break through China's defense line as soon as possible and open a gap for the entire 10 divisions to attack China.Therefore, from the very beginning, he asked the 28th Artillery Regiment assigned to him, all 36 75mm mountain guns and 12 75mm field guns, to launch shelling on the Chinese position on the other side of the river regardless of consumption. The entire shelling time lasted for an hour. It was immediately interrupted by Chinese artillery.

长时间的炮击给中国炮兵部队标定了明显的位置,日军炮击正欢的时候,第4军所属炮兵共200门105毫米榴弹炮和24门155毫米榴弹炮也开始了反击。
