Bright Sword Military System

The battle ended with the victory of the Eighth Route Army. In the end, only two Type 95 tanks escaped from the Devil Cavalry Wing. That was because the drivers of several of the Type 95 tanks were smart. Instead of fleeing in the opposite direction, flee from both wings.

In this way of escaping, it is impossible for the T34 to "give up the forest in front of me for a tree", so it is the main force of the devils that is chasing instead of the few single vehicles.

However, some of these vehicles were destroyed by the rocket launchers and anti-tank missiles of the Eighth Route Army infantry, and only two escaped in the end.

The rest of the tanks were either scrapped or crushed by the T34.

After the war, when the infantrymen of the Eighth Route Army were cleaning the battlefield, they could tell from the epaulettes of a severed arm on the outside of the armored vehicle that it belonged to a major general.

But at this time, it is not surprising that the Eighth Route Army killed a major general. If it was in the past, in the era when several regiments of the Eighth Route Army surrounded the devils and a brigade could not survive, the division commander Akasaka Qiantang would definitely be famous.

So Akasaka Chito was very unfortunate. He died at the wrong time, and he missed an opportunity to be famous for nothing.

After receiving information about the successful defeat of the Japanese 51st Division, Wang Xuexin gave the order to the Baizhan Brigade: "Fight along the 51st Division's supply route, and don't stop if you don't see Fengtian!"

Several main regiments of the Devils are deployed in Xinmin, and they are infantry regiments. Their speed is definitely not as fast as the tank regiment of the Hundred Battles Brigade and the mechanized infantry equipped with half-track vehicles.

The mechanized troops of the Hundred Battles Brigade knocked a hole in the devil's offensive line and inserted it behind it... It was all food, canned food, ammunition, gasoline for cars, diesel for tanks, etc. from Fengtian, or used by cars The transportation was either carried by mules or horses, and all the teams easily fell into the hands of the Eighth Route Army.

(Note: Due to lack of resources, the devils cannot all be transported by car, and there are many mules and horses in the luggage team, and they even threaten the people to use wheelbarrows and other tools to help them transport)

The Baizhan Brigade took just over three hours to complete the 100-kilometer journey.

At this time, the 51st Division was already in chaos because it lost its commander, lost supplies and was surrounded by the Eighth Route Army.

Although Sasaki Shizue, who was in charge of Fengtian, had received the news at this time, there was nothing he could do.

Send troops to rescue the 51st Division?

Does that mean that Fengtian City is going to become an empty city!

Don't send troops to rescue?

I can only watch helplessly as the 51st Division and the 20th Division on the Northern Front are encircled and wiped out!

However, the more serious problem now is not the 51st Division and the 20th Division, but whether Fengtian City can be defended!

At least Sasaki Jingjiang has seen this very clearly. He believes that the ultimate goal of the Eighth Route Army's attack must be Fengtian.

Soon, Sasaki Shizue's idea was verified.

The staff officer panicked and reported to Sasaki Jingjiang: "Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, the Eighth Route Army launched an attack on Fengtian from three directions at the same time. The attack is very fierce, and our army will soon be unable to stop it!"

Sasaki Shizue no longer hesitated at this time, he immediately ordered: "Shrink the southern line immediately!"

The two divisions on the northern front were blocked by the mechanized brigade of the Eighth Route Army and the supply route was cut off. It is impossible to recover in a short time, but there are still two divisions on the southern front that are attacking Jinzhou in turn. As long as they return to the city Defense, Fengtian has the hope of defending.

However, after a few minutes, Sasaki Shizue was completely desperate.

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General!" the staff officer reported: "The southern line was cut off by the mechanized troops of the Eighth Route Army!"

"What?" Sasaki Jingjiang was taken aback: "Where did the mechanized troops come from? Why are there mechanized troops from the Eighth Route Army everywhere?"

"According to the information..." the staff officer replied cautiously: "This unit is the new Second Regiment of the Eighth Route Army!"

The New Second Regiment is Kong Jie's unit.

This force had been used as a mobile force defense on the Eastern Front, that is, wherever the devils attacked, he would rush to support them.

Now that the Eastern Front has been basically abandoned by the Eighth Route Army, Kong Jie's mechanized troops have been used as the main force to penetrate and divide the Devil's southern front.

But of course it is impossible to have only Kong Jie as a mechanized regiment on the southern line.

Its opponent is the Devil's two divisions, and even with the crowd tactics, it can drown the new second division.

Immediately behind the new second regiment are the three main regiments withdrawn from the Eastern Front.

In addition, Li Yunlong's counterattack also started.

Although the Independent Regiment has only one regiment, it has a large number of militiamen recruited and armed from Dalian. This counterattack brought 3 people in one breath. In addition, five warships of the Haiphong Regiment were in Dalian Bay to attack the devils. bombardment...

In this way, the more than [-] devils who were originally stationed in Fengtian or connected together were divided into three groups: more than [-] people from the two divisions on the northern line, more than [-] people from the two divisions on the southern line, and one in Fengtian. More than ten thousand people.

Wang Xuexin's order to these three areas is as follows: "The northern and southern lines are gradually released from the east, let them escape, and the Fengtian devils will be resolutely wiped out!"

It's not that Wang Xuexin doesn't want to wipe out these besieged devils, but that the Eighth Route Army doesn't have such strength yet.

In addition, every battle must have a goal. If you grab it without focus, you will probably get nothing in the end.

At this time, the focus of the Eighth Route Army should obviously be Fengtian.

Once Fengtian was taken down, the eighth route's defense line had found a solid fulcrum, and there was no need to use twice as many troops to defend both sides as before.

In doing so, Wang Xuexin is actually "surrounding the three".

Regarding the devil divisions on the south and north lines of the devils, they originally thought that they had no chance to break through.

All their supplies come from Fengtian, and now that their connection with Fengtian has been cut off, the ammunition is one round less.

Even if they have 3 to [-] people, as long as the Eighth Route Army is determined to encircle and wipe out one of them, there is a high probability that they will not be able to escape.

But now, suddenly a chance to escape is in front of them, and it is the best east... If you escape to the east, you can join Umezu Yoshijiro's troops and get out of the predicament completely, so why not?

Sure enough, tens of thousands of devils on the southern and northern routes chose to break through.

Although the devils who broke through the siege were also uncomfortable...they were ambushed and hunted down by the Eighth Route Army all the way without morale.

Fengtian soon became an isolated city.

Fengtian's garrison is the opposite of the situation of the devils who were divided and surrounded on the southern and northern fronts: the devils on the northern and southern fronts have soldiers but no ammunition, while Fengtian has ammunition but no soldiers. It has two arsenals and warehouses. There is a large amount of food but insufficient troops.

Then, before it got dark that evening, with Wang Xuexin's order, the battle to attack Fengtian began.
