Bright Sword: Start with Ding Blast Bridge, Homemade Sweet Potato Cake

Chapter 379: One week into office, only three cities were lost

In view of the National Army's cowardly behavior, the various columns did not need to hold back and boldly attacked Xinmin, Yingkou and Liaoyang.

The winters in Northeast China are particularly cold, but the field troops chose to attack at night.

Compete with you in fighting will, field combat and athletic ability.

Looking at all the columns under Brother Biao, each one of them has the tactics of mobile warfare, looking for opportunities in the movement and creating ways to annihilate the enemy.

It was obvious that the Nationalist Army had a higher level of mechanization, but they chose to defend themselves and act stupidly on the battlefield.

There is no way. Too many elite troops were lost and the combat effectiveness of the reorganized armies declined.

As long as they are pulled into the wild, they will be in chaos even without the enemy attacking. New recruits who are forcibly conscripted are likely to sneak away.

On the first day of the guard captain's appointment, Liaoyang was breached, more than 54 people of the 5400th Division were annihilated, the city stronghold was lost, and the remaining troops fled back to Shenyang in panic.

On the third day, an uprising broke out in the direction of Yingkou. More than 8000 troops declared uprising and directly surrendered.

On the sixth day, Anshan was attacked and the 25th Division was surrounded and completely destroyed.

In just one week, three cities were lost and three divisions of troops were damaged.

Niang Xipi was so anxious that she was running around, urging the captain of the guard to prepare the troops and rescue the outer strongholds.

send troops?

Return your sister's soldiers. The captain of the guard will evacuate all the troops that can be transferred back to Shenyang from the stronghold.

Abandon all strongholds that can be abandoned, concentrate military forces around Fengtian, and adopt a attitude of holding on.

It is impossible to send out troops, it is impossible to do so in this lifetime, so we can only rely on airdrops and live a short and comfortable life.

The spring of 48 came so quickly that Ding Wei felt dazed, as if the long winter had passed in the blink of an eye.

It may not be because of the weather, but because the situation in the Northeast has become completely clear.

There is no longer any fighting in the northern part of Fengtian, and most of the strongholds around Fengtian have been captured.

Only two important cities, Fengtian and Jinzhou, remained, and the rest of the territory had been liberated and recovered. The comrades were in high spirits, enjoying the moment of peace before spring.

The battle seemed to disappear suddenly, and Ding Wei and Brother Biao tacitly agreed not to attack again.

The national army in Fengtian did not take the initiative to cause trouble.

The two sides remained in a state of confrontation, like two black bears falling asleep.

The main forces of the Nationalist Army were concentrated in the two large areas of Fengtian and Jinzhou, with about 15 troops on one side and about 30 troops on the other.

Even someone as experienced in siege warfare as Ding Wei could not handle a war of this scale.

In terms of the main force alone, the strength of the dozen columns was just over 45. The strength of the defenders was .

One-on-one forces have no advantage in siege warfare.

The odds are evenly split between the two sides, and no one dares to predict the outcome.

Whether it is an advantage or a disadvantage, it is not enough to make up for the gap in siege warfare.

And this Captain Wei is a guy who is very good at defense.

Unless Ding Wei brings all the armored divisions and fighter jets over to carry out indiscriminate bombing and completely wipe out the city.

Warm spring is both a good thing and a bad thing.

There are already boats on the Songhua River breaking ice in advance, starting from the downstream, to avoid the arrival of ice floods that would make it difficult to cross the river.

Both sides of the war intended to reorganize their troops in preparation for the final decisive battle.

In addition to the original five independent columns, Ding Wei also had the 8th and 9th columns of Jireliao, as well as a newly reorganized 12th column.

In addition, Jireliao has three independent divisions, which belong to the second-line combat force and also come under Ding Wei's control.

8 columns, 3 independent divisions, total strength 38;

Brother Biao has 9 columns, 3 independent divisions, and a total force of 35.

In addition, there is one corps and three armies in North Manchuria, with a total strength of 3.

The local militia, armed forces, county brigades, etc., together number about 200,000 to 300,000 people.

The number of troops available for the decisive battle is 38 + 35 + 20, which can be called a million-strong army.

Shenyang is also reorganizing its troops. When the captain of the guard arrived here, he was just a figurehead commander without any real power and was almost being sidelined.

Taking stock of the troops near the city defense, the New First Army, the New Sixth Army, and the New Third Army were basically unable to be mobilized. These three main armies were in the hands of Blind Liao.

The airborne commander was unable to command these three main forces.

The remaining 52nd and 71st Armies belong to the middle faction and will be deployed according to the situation.

Neutral troops may or may not be obedient.

It depends on whether you can get benefits, such as being allocated supplies and weapons, things that can make officers rich?

These five armies were considered as troops that the captain of the guard could not interfere with. The only remaining ones were the empty shells of the 49th and 53rd armies, two former Northeastern armies with which he had some connection.

Recruit able-bodied men and find soldiers to supplement the 49th Army. At the same time, distribute supplies to the 53rd Army and reorganize the forces of the two armies.

The only army he could actually control was the 53rd Army. The 49th Army relied on able-bodied men to replenish its manpower, and its combat effectiveness was close to zero.

In other armies, the commanders' noses were higher than the sky.

In this situation, let him go out of the city to attack?

Niang Xipi kept giving orders to open the Shenjin Railway.

Stop talking nonsense, we have no choice but to hold on.

Moreover, holding on was the only correct strategy, using an important city to involve hundreds of thousands of the most elite troops that were reorganized into the East China Field Army in 48.

Even if the reorganized 49th Army was pulled out of the city, it could not reach Jinzhou at all and was pushed back by the People's Liberation Army halfway.

If we don't leave the city, we can still stabilize the situation, but if we leave the city, there will be a bomb.

There is no other way. The troops in Shenyang cannot be moved, so we can only mobilize the troops in Jinzhou.

Here are two divisions of the 54th Army, one division of the 93rd Army, and the temporary 50th and 60th Divisions under the Qinhu Port Command. Together, there are five divisions, equivalent to two armies.

In addition to defending the Liaoxi Corridor, these troops also have to open up the Shenjin Railway. I'm sure you're kidding.

Just like in Journey to the West, the Nine-Headed Insect asked Benboerba to get rid of Tang Monk and his disciples.

Damn Xipi, you want to use only two armies to open up the Shenjin Railway while braving the surveillance of Ding Wei's Independent Column? Stop it.

If it could really be opened up, the situation in Liaoshen would have been broken long ago.

With no soldiers at hand and feeling panic, Commander Fan started conscripting able-bodied men with the help of a few empty shells: the 26/88/55, 54, and 62 divisions, to gather up the troops. He managed to reorganize them into four armies, making it look like the real thing.

The actual combat effectiveness of this reorganized fancy army is not as good as that of a proper independent division.

Ding Wei and Zhang Dabiao got together. Rehe was once the area where Zhang Dabiao was stationed. The column had a special feeling and familiarity with this place.

The current situation is at a stalemate. From a strategic point of view, we can consider sending troops from Rehe, Zhangbei and Guisui to attack the Pingjin area in preparation for revitalizing the overall situation.

Once the more than 300,000 troops under his command move into the Liaoxi Corridor, the pressure on North China will be much less.

"Commander, we can consider your idea. Fu in North China is an old friend of ours. He couldn't make it in Guisui, but he became a big shot after arriving in the Pingjin area."

"It is suggested that Sun Desheng's cavalry be mobilized to Wucheng to suppress Suiyuan and Chahar. The main column should press forward to Rehe and approach the Yanshan area to give him a hard time."
