Chapter 1521 Accumulate a small victory into a big victory
"Imperial Warriors! It's time to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor!"
"Kill these hateful Chinese troops!"
Faced with the bullying and crushing attack like the Hu Ben Army, the Japanese soldiers became more and more desperate and eventually collapsed. Many Japanese soldiers rushed out with guns and red eyes without waiting for the shells to hit them and destroy them, and rushed out with guns and explosives in their red eyes.
However, the ideal is full of reality and the only thing that welcomes these Japanese soldiers is ruthless killing. They are destined to die halfway through, and they don’t even want to rush to the side of the Hu Ben Army that is so close to them.
This fierce and fierce general attack was fought from dawn to sunset. After 11 hours of continuous bloody battle, the officers and soldiers of the 19th Division all killed more than 2,000 Japanese defenders who fought to the end.
At this point, the Gaojiabao Fortress, which the Japanese worked hard to manage, was completely destroyed, and the west portal of Shijiazhuang was opened.
The setting sun sets like blood. Under the illumination of the sunset, I saw that this originally rich village had no vitality at all and turned into a ruined ruin with smoke and fire, and could no longer see its original appearance.
The ground was filled with dense craters, with piles of ruins burning into coke everywhere, and the air was filled with a strong smell of burning and blood.
The house was blown away to the point where half of the stone foundation was left, and the village was covered with bloody and flesh and broken bodies, a miserable scene.
"Beautiful job! This is how you should fight!"
Although the style on the screen is miserable, it is beautiful in Wu Kexiang's eyes. What a pleasing masterpiece on the battlefield!
Although the 19th Division of the Hu Ben Army took five days to complete the entire Gaojiabao Battle, the final number of casualties was only 74, and the number of Japanese troops destroyed was as high as 2,000.
Although the weapons and ammunition consumed are astronomical, these consumptions are completely acceptable for the people-oriented and wealthy Chinese Hu Ben Army.
In addition, you will naturally not be idle in several other attack directions in Shijiazhuang.
Under the tactical policy of steady action, the attacking troops smashed one solid defensive fortress after another by crushing, occupied a series of villages and towns outside Shijiazhuang, completing the extreme compression of Shijiazhuang.
Now that the Battle of Shijiazhuang is the only one left behind in the final battle of the city.
At the same time, the first and second armies of the Hu Ben Army that were attacking north were not idle either. They were always siegeing cities and villages, and have now established more than ten towns.
If the lost land was added to this previous recovery, the Hu Ben Army has successfully recovered more than 20% of the land area in Hebei Province.
The Hu Ben Army had a total force of more than one million in Hebei, and the front line gradually advanced to important Hebei towns such as Shijiazhuang, Ludong, Wuqiang, Nanpi, Cangzhou, etc., which put extremely serious military pressure on the strategic areas of North China such as Baoding, the capital of Hebei Province, and even in the rear of Tianjin and Beiping.
Although the Japanese North China Front Army also has a heavy army group of more than one million, more than 50% of which come from the elite field troops of the Kwantung Army.
It is no exaggeration to say that the North China Front Army can be said to be the one who wants to have guns. Not only does it have extremely strong technical equipment, but it also built a series of solid defense systems, which has occupied an extremely favorable defensive advantage.
However, from the beginning, the Japanese North China Front Army was still beaten to the point where they could only defend themselves but not fight back. They could only shrink and defend fortresses everywhere, defending one town after another to resist layer by layer, fighting for the war of attrition!
The main reason is that the Hu Ben Army has more advanced and more powerful technical equipment, which has formed a crushing advantage over the Japanese army.
If both sides are placed in the wild and engaged in a three-dimensional decisive battle between land and air, it will definitely be as relaxed and happy as grandfather beats his grandson.
After a series of head-on battles and great losses, the Japanese had no choice but to admit defeat.
But this is not very useful. At best, it only allows the Hu Ben Army to spend more effort and more weapons and equipment.
Anyway, Yang Fan is not in a hurry to achieve success. As long as he can continuously weaken the Japanese army and continuously strengthen himself in this process, he can accumulate small victories into big victories, and finally win this protracted world war little by little!
Yangon, Myanmar, Tiger Ben Army General Headquarters.
Yang Chengliang, deputy commander-in-chief of the Tiger Ben Army and commander of the 5th Army, Shao Wenren, commander of the 6th Army, Lu Shengfeng, commander of the 7th Army, Meng Wuan, commander of the 8th Army, He Zhenshu, commander-in-chief of the Myanmar Guards, Cai Huixiang, commander-in-chief of the Myanmar Tiger Ben Navy Fleet, and other military and political officials gathered together.
"Okay, now let's get back to the point, let's start the meeting!"
After a opening remark, Yang Chengliang put down the teacup in his hand and said with a smile, "Now our Hu Ben Army is steadily recovering the land of the country, and the domestic battlefield can be said to be full of good news every day!
There is only one meeting topic today, that is, what should we do next in the Myanmar War Zone? Should we also exercise our muscles and bones?"
"What? Deputy Commander-in-Chief Yang, do you take this seriously? Are you really going to fight?"
After the words came, Meng Wuan became excited and said anxiously, "It has been almost half a year since I returned from North Africa. I am so idle that I feel sore! If it is a war, we must let our army join first!"
"Yes, yes! The 5th Army and the 6th Army have both returned to China to fight. Our 7th Army and the 8th Army cannot be idle all the time!"
Lu Shengfeng also nodded repeatedly, unable to wait to make trouble.
Meng Wuan and Lu Shengfeng suffered a lot in their struggles in North Africa and also made a series of brilliant military achievements. Therefore, after returning to Myanmar, they were both promoted to the commander of the army.
Soldiers who don’t want to be marshals are not good soldiers. Although the two have stood high enough, who would think that there are too many contributions in the credit book and that their journey in life is too brilliant?
Of course, they are eager to go back to the battlefield, not just wanting to make meritorious service and get a salary increase. More importantly, as soldiers, they are eager to take the bloody battlefield all the time, and kill all the damn invaders as soon as possible, so that the Chinese nation can get rid of the pain of war and stand up again as soon as possible.
"Deputy Commander-in-Chief Yang, don't forget our security forces. Although we are mainly responsible for local defense, I dare to pat my chest to ensure that we are also an iron army that can fight well!"
"Also, our navy is not a good meal. Commander-in-Chief Liu and his team fought very well on the Pacific battlefield. Our Myanmar War Zone is also different from the past and can fully cooperate with the army's combat!"
"How can we lose our Air Force in war?..."
Before Lu Shengfeng could answer, He Zhenshu, Cai Huixiang and others also became anxious, fearing that more wolves and less meat would lose their share.
In fact, this is true. In the past two years, the Hu Ben Army has developed very quickly. The pure field troops alone have exceeded the 2 million mark, not to mention that there are a large number of local garrison troops and reserve troops.
But most of the time, except for the North African Expeditionary Force, other units were developed mostly in a vulgar manner and did not have too many large-scale frontal battles with the Japanese army.
