Chapter 155: Battle of Tianjin

Chapter 155 The Battle of Tianjin (Second)
In late April, there are sorrows all over the northeast
After the Japanese occupied the north of Jinzhou, they caused many heinous murders. In addition to the earlier Shenyang massacre, there were also the Harbin 317 tragedy, the Jilin Qianshanzhuang Tucun murder, and the Siping mine murder ...
A series of tragedies finally made the vast majority of Chinese understand the cruelty and terribleness of the Japanese. Newspapers across the country reported on the tragedy of the Northeast almost three days and two. Some patriotic journalists even went deeper into the enemy-occupied areas to interview, including the southwest. The two reporters of the Daily News also obtained the hard evidence of these anti-human crimes by the Japanese army, and a series of photos recorded the process of the Harbin tragedy.

The entire nation is mourning, the whole nation is roaring, the whole country is rising, and the voices of the Anti-Japanese War are rising one after another. Every day, many college students and workers petition in front of the Kuomintang Nanjing government, asking the National Government to mobilize more troops to fight against Japan.
However, the KMT only made a symbolic announcement to mobilize the Ninth Division northward, and refused to disclose more military transfers on the basis of military secrets. It only promised a larger-scale anti-Japanese war, and the KMT will not sit idly by about the Northeast issue.
After more than two months of fighting, the entire Jinzhou city has been blown into ruins. After repeated warnings from southwestern military officers, Zhang Xueliang insisted on staying in Jinzhou and fighting while repairing. At this time, outside Jinzhou, the fortifications were everywhere. The Japanese blasted a machine gun fortress today and can rebuild one the next day. In these two months of combat, the entire Northeast Army has reached a terrible casualty of more than 60,000 people. This is because the army is fighting more and more fiercely. Many Northeast Army company companies have completed the replacement of soldiers, and one grass-roots company company after another has been recruited by recruits.
The Japanese were also upset. After paying nearly 30,000 casualties, they were no longer able to launch a large-scale attack.
In this Jinzhou battle, in addition to the heavy casualties, the loss of combat materials was also tremendous. Every day, trains or cars braved the war to deliver materials to the Jinzhou area, because the railway station in the city has been blown up. The train can only stop at the temporary field station constructed by the Southwest Engineers and unload it, and then it is used by the Northeast Army officers and soldiers. Pull the car strip into Jinzhou.
I have to say that although Chiang Kai-shek has not sent troops to participate directly in the war for the time being, in supporting Zhang Xueliang's anti-Japanese war, his actions are getting bigger and bigger. These materials, such as firearms, artillery and ammunition, have been able to support the Northeast Army's operations as the military factories in Nanjing and other places continue to increase production capacity, and the Northeast Army ’s own military factories in the Pingjin area. And Chiang Kai-shek's greatest contribution should be to accept the Southwest's claim. The Southwest Autonomous Government, the National Government, and Zhang Xueliang raised funds and took a share of the Southwest approach to purchase a group of discounted J-1 fighters in the Southwest.
It has to be said that the Ning Jin defense line has not yet broken through at this time and has a great relationship with this batch of more than 60 F-1 fighters.
That was when the Southwest Army attacked Hong Kong. In order to fight back some domestic criticisms, Zhang Shusheng ordered the initiative to contact Nanjing and Zhang Xueliang to actively facilitate this purchase. Open the arms reserve warehouse and sell this batch of replacement aircraft originally intended to be sold to South American countries Chile to Zhang Xueliang, thereby expressing the determination of the entire Southwest to resist the war.
However, it is a pity that Chiang Kai-shek resolutely opposed to letting the pilots of the southwest pilot these fighters, and the southwest did not agree to let the pilots of the Kuomintang pilot the pilots. The end result was that the Northeast Army pilots and overseas Chinese volunteer pilots were in charge.
The first air battle brought a huge surprise to Zhang Xueliang. On March 21st, the Japanese aircraft carrier special formation took off for the last time when fighter planes attacked Jinzhou. After being discovered by the Northeast Army's coast reconnaissance troops, they quickly notified the command center. The J-1 fighter formation participated in the actual combat for the first time.
On that day, the first large-scale air combat since the beginning of the war was staged over Jinzhou. Nearly fifty fighter planes of the Japanese army were blocked by more than thirty fighter jets from the Northeast Army ’s J-1 fighter formation taking off from several field airports.
It was just just encountered that the Southwest F-1 fighter had the upper hand. Although the Japanese pilots' tactical literacy was higher, the overall level of the aircraft was far less than that of the F-1 fighters in the Southwest more than a decade ago. The special Bf109 fighter is a template modified fighter. Although its combat performance is not as good as BF109, it is worse than cheap and easy to manufacture. It is at least one generation ahead of the Nakashima 91 and Kawasaki 92 fighters, which are generally equipped by the Japanese army. In addition, the Japanese army's attacking aircraft group was mainly bombers, and more than two months of air strikes had shot down all aircraft of the Northeast Army, which made them fearless.
The careless Japanese army once again tasted a huge defeat.
In the air battle that lasted for half an hour, the first to be shot down was the Japanese army's heavy, backward old-fashioned carrier-based bombers. In the presence of the new fighter formation that the Northeast Army suddenly appeared, even if the Northeast Army pilots and overseas Chinese volunteer pilots had low tactical accomplishments, Still caught by surprise. During the entire air battle, the Japanese army's twenty-eight bombers and eighty-eight bombers were shot down, and more than twenty fighters fled back but only thirteen.
The Japanese obviously did not expect that the Northeast Army Air Force, which had been shot down long ago, could be transferred to the Air Force. After all, this purchase was a top secret of the three parties, and the action code ‘shoot down the cherry blossoms’ was jointly held by the three parties. Even the aircraft did not pass through the hands of a third party, and transferred directly to several northeastern airports to fly to Jinzhou in the northeast.
Of course, the Northeast Army also paid a huge price. Even though there were only more than 20 Japanese fighters, as many as 15 J-1 fighters were shot down, but fortunately, unlike the Japanese pilots who were captured, these pilots Both landed on the positions of the Northeast Army. Only two people were killed on the spot by machine gun bullets from the Japanese aircraft. The others were only slightly injured. In addition, the pilots who were baptized by the war also grew quickly.
Compared with the large-caliber aviation machine guns and small-caliber aviation guns equipped for the J-1 fighter aircraft, the Japanese fighters have fallen far behind. All they can bully is the Northeast Air Force and the Kuomintang Air Force, which used to be far behind.
Although the Northeast Army suffered heavy losses, it greatly encouraged the momentum of the Anti-Japanese War. Compared with the heavy casualties, which only maintained the undefeated ground defense line, this sudden air battle has been called a huge victory. Japanese aircraft carrier special formations also retreated.
Although Zhang Xueliang was able to continue to buy fighter planes from the southwest, he had already asked Chiang Kai-shek to help import fighter planes from the United Kingdom. In view of the situation, Chiang Kai-shek also agreed. After all, the strengthening of the air force made a certain turn for the Battle of Jinzhou.
Northeast, Jinzhou, Zhang Xueliang's underground command bunker
It has been more than half a month since the victory in air combat, and it is now late April. The battle has entered the stage of simmering battle, and the deadlocked battle is already competing for the staying power of both sides.
"The commander-in-chief and all aspects of the intelligence show that the Japanese army is about to land behind us, and as the highest person in charge of the southwest and northeast this time, I have to tell you something on behalf of President Zhang. The Japanese landing site is very likely It's in Tianjin. "
At the command post, Hu Dingguo, with his face full of dregs, said to Zhang Xueliang, who was drinking white wine, that the Northeast Anti-Japanese Commander-in-Chief was exhausted even after months of fighting.
"The Japanese landing seems to be imperative, but if it is Tianjin, Chairman Jiang should not sit idly by." Zhang Xueliang shook his head. He also heard the staff talk about the possible rear landing plan of the Japanese army. And even prepared for it.
But the news that the Japanese army might choose to land in Tianjin was the first time he heard from Huo Dingguo. After all, Huo Dingguo represented the southwest, so the news should be very reliable. However, even if the intelligence is reliable, the Northeast Army has no skills and cannot cope with it.
"The situation at hand is that the 200,000 Northeast Army relied on round battles to replenish its recruits repeatedly, but it did not collapse. Once it withdrew even one division or transferred the reserve division behind it, the Ning Jin defense line was immediately in danger. Dingguo You also know that although we eliminated nearly 30,000 Japanese troops, there were still more than 60,000 Japanese troops on the opposite side, and we also paid a huge price of nearly 60,000 Japanese troops. The Japanese army's combat effectiveness was too strong.
To this day, Ning Jin's defense line must not be abandoned, otherwise, I will become a national sinner. As for the battle in Tianjin, let Chairman Jiang's 18th Division fight against it. The whole nation has a responsibility to fight the war, and how can Nanjing stay out of the incident. "
Huo Dingguo heard some complaints from Zhang Xueliang's mouth. Also, the Northeast Army suffered huge casualties. Zhang Xueliang was struggling to support himself here. Although he has become a national hero and is sought after by the Chinese, only the people around them understand that Zhang Xueliang How hard it worked.
He still remembers that on the most difficult night, a regiment of the Northeast Army could not hold on, and was about to fall from the position. As a result, a division of the Northeast Army followed.
At this time, any oversight team was useless. Finally, Zhang Xueliang knelt there, pointed his own gun with his gun, and knelt down the path of the defeated soldiers, shocked all the defeated soldiers, and finally blocked the rout.
He still remembered Zhang Xueliang's words that day, "Brothers, everyone is afraid of death, and I have only one life. But I did not run, but died in Jinzhou with my brothers.
Because I know that the entire nation needs us to stay here. Brothers, look out of the customs. There is a lot of sorrow, and your wives, children and parents are being stabbed or even slaughtered by the Japanese. Once these beasts are put in the customs, we are all national sinners. Whoever wants to leave kills me first. I must not watch the Northeast Army become a deserter before the Anti-Japanese War. "
In this way, with the help of Zhang Xueliang's predecessor, and with the help of consultants, staff and instructors, and engineering experts from the Southwest, Zhang Xueliang fought hard, recruited new soldiers, and built a defense line to keep the Ning Jin defense line.
No one knows when the war will continue, but everyone knows that from the young commander, they will fight to the end.
Huo Dingguo nodded. "Once the Japanese landed in the Pingjin area, our pressure will be reduced, but we are also facing a huge danger of being cut off. We hope that the young commander will take the overall situation seriously. We will also have related actions in the southwest. You need to be more handsome. "
"Rest assured, if the current situation reaches that point, the Northeast Army will not sit idly by. I thank President Zhang for me and tell him, although Zhang Xueliang is not a talent, but he also knows that the person who died is a confidant, as long as President Zhang Sincerely resisting Japan, even if the entire Northeast Army advances and retreats with him on a certain day, I agree. "Zhang Xueliang is not a fool. On weekdays, this Huo Dingguo adviser understands some hints to him, but the war is too tight. Things, but now that the situation has changed again, he has to properly express his position.
After all, from the beginning, Southwest ’s support for him was even more thorough than that of the National Government. We must know that it is difficult for Southwest to support him. What Chiang Kai-shek did not expect was that Zhang Xueliang, the young man in the Northeast, had a different mind.
Huo Dingguo also knows that Zhang Xueliang is under great pressure. He also has a lot of dissatisfaction with the domestic situation. The southwest is big, but it is thousands of miles away. Chiang Kai-shek has as many as ten elite divisions and as many as twenty or thirty division divisions. Instead of dispatching to the northeast, they used the pretext of requiring garrison in various places to strictly prevent Japanese from landing on the pretext of infringing the coast.
Many times, he was thinking that the Southwest, which was supposed to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, was strongly supporting the anti-Japanese war in the Northeast under the resolution of President Zhang. Jiang Jieshi, who was supposed to support the Northeast, support Zhang Xueliang's resistance to Japan, and even sent a large army to the Northeast, was sitting and watching the Northeast Army weakened. He sent troops to Pingjin and turned the Pingjin area into his own sphere of influence.
As a division-level Southwest soldier, Huo Dingguo always had a strange feeling when he fell asleep while listening to the sound of cannons at night. As if he was an ancient general, in the sound of Jin Ge iron horse, he tidy thousands of children, killing the Japanese army.
The soldier was born for war, especially for people like him. If he can concentrate the national strength to fight against Japan, he will even hesitate to die on the front line.
Many people do n’t understand the phrase of defending the country and serving the country, because they are still running for survival, but more people, like Huo Dingguo, will defend the country and serve the country. Think of it as your own ideal.
This point ~ EbookFREE.me ~ can be seen from the young people who are constantly traveling to the northeast to cast troops across the country. They may not be excellent soldiers, but their will to fight is definitely strong. Facing the Japanese tactics, All of them held Jinzhou with their patriotic determination. You know, at this time, nearly one-third of the Northeast Army was recruited for combat training.
The domestic situation is surging. On April 27th, under the thick night, Southwest Foreign Ministry Zhang Lizongren walked into Chiang Kai-shek's official residence.
On April 31st, the long-planned Japanese army officially launched the Tianjin campaign. With the support of the Japanese special task force, the Japanese divisions of the three divisions landed in Tianjin with lightning speed, and the Japanese army of a large group advanced. Encountered with a brigade of the Tianjin Police Force, fierce fighting broke out.
The Battle of Tianjin begins, and the Sino-Japanese War is staged again
