Luo Zhuoying is Chen Cheng's capable subordinate and one of the core figures of the future civil engineering department. The
18th Army under his command is Chen Cheng's starting force.
The 18th Army has two divisions, the 11th and 18th, an artillery brigade, and a siege brigade with nearly 40,000 people.
The two words"Tumu" in the civil engineering department come from the two numbers"11" (earth) and"18" (wood).
The 18th Army is also Chiang Kai-shek's direct force.
The equipment is also very sophisticated compared to the major warlords in the country.
The artillery brigade under its jurisdiction is equipped with more than 20 artillery pieces.
Most of them are 75mm caliber field guns, and there are a few imported 105mm caliber howitzers.
Opposite them is an army of the Guangxi clique plus three independent artillery regiments.
These three independent artillery regiments are newly formed.
The 19th and 24th Divisions of the Seventh Army are the ace elite troops of the Guangxi clique.
Compared with before, their equipment is very luxurious. The rifles of these two divisions are all equipped with M1 Garand semi-automatic rifles.
The machine guns were also equipped with MG42 general-purpose machine guns.
One division was equipped with hundreds of them.
And there were enough bullets.
They had never fought such a rich war.
When Deputy Army Commander Luo Zhuoying led the 18th Army to launch an attack.
The artillery in the rear launched an artillery attack on the Luodian Mountain position in Yongzhou.
Looking at the scattered shells falling in front of the position.
Bai Chongxi, who was personally in charge of the command center, pulled the corner of his mouth and showed a trace of disdain.
The current Guangxi clique is not the same as the previous Guangxi clique.
If it was before, this scale of artillery bombardment would indeed be something they could not resist.
After all, they were equipped with very few artillery pieces.
But now it is different.
Let's talk about the three artillery regiments he brought this time.
Two of the regiments have three artillery battalions under their jurisdiction.
They are two 105mm howitzer battalions, with a total of 24 Krupp 105mm howitzers.
A 150mm howitzer battalion, equipped with 12 Krupp 150mm howitzers.
There is also an independent heavy artillery regiment equipped with a 155mm field cannon battalion, equipped with a total of 36 155mm field cannons.
This is not all their artillery.
In addition to these three independent artillery regiments, there are two independent artillery regiments on other defense lines.
"Let Chen Cheng also take a look at our artillery, let the 7th Artillery Regiment take them down for me."
Immediately, Bai Chongxi deployed an artillery team and the 18th Army launched a fierce counterattack.
Suddenly, the artillery sound from the rear artillery positions resounded like thunder. One after another, artillery shells were densely bombarded at the artillery positions of the 18th Army.
The 18th Army Artillery Brigade suffered a devastating blow in one wave of artillery fire.
Their artillery has a limited range.
Most of the members of these artillery regiments are from the Red Alert Base.
The artillery technology is beyond doubt.
Watching the rear artillery positions being fiercely counterattacked.
The rising artillery fire is also telling them what their artillery positions are going through.
Seeing such fierce artillery fire, Chen Cheng couldn't help but shrink back.
"this...How is this possible?"
He said incredulously.
"Are we really facing the Guangxi clique?"
Luo Zhuoying was also stunned.
"Jiang Fan......It must be Jiang Fan's doing."
Such a large number of artillery pieces could actually be obtained by the Guangxi clique.
There is no doubt that this was supported by Jiang Fan.
"Commander, our artillery is gone, all gone......"
At this time, an officer ran in with wounds on his body.
It was the commander of the artillery brigade.
Chen Cheng couldn't help but twitch his mouth when he saw such a tragic scene.
"Launch a ground attack. Our forces are several times theirs. The Guangxi clique has limited forces and they can't stop us."
However, the result stunned Chen Cheng.
When the Nationalist troops all over the mountains launched the attack, the other two artillery regiments in the rear also began to move.
Dense shells fell on the crowd like raindrops.
The 19th Division on the high ground also opened fire.
Dense bullets swept down.
Groups of Nationalist soldiers fell to the ground.
"Hit me, hit me hard!"
The former Guangxi officer shouted excitedly.
With such fierce firepower, the Nationalist Army under the hillside was directly defeated.
Although the 18th Army is a direct force and its combat effectiveness is not weak.
But the equipment gap between the two sides is too big.
With the Guangxi Clique occupying the right time, place and people, it is useless no matter how many troops they have.
The 18th Army suffered heavy losses, which made Chen Cheng feel distressed.
This is his direct force. If it is wiped out, what can he use to compete with others.
So he let the 18th Army withdraw and let those miscellaneous troops fight.
He planned to use the human wave tactics to break through the Yongzhou defense line of the Guangxi Clique.
As soon as the battle started, it fell into a stalemate.
Bai Chongxi was relieved when he received battle reports from many parties.
Guangxi has a complex terrain. Although the Nationalist Army has a large number of troops, they can't display them in this terrain.
And they have the advantage of equipment, with enough bullets and artillery shells.
Morale is extremely high.
There is no problem in defending Guangxi.
On the Hunan-Guangxi border, the two sides fought for several days.
The Nationalist army lost tens of thousands of people, but there was no progress.
This also made Chang Kai-shen very angry.
The Guangxi clique was like an iron turtle, and they could not break through the defense line at all.
At this time, a merchant ship flying the English flag docked in Fangchenggang.
It was a merchant ship transporting base vehicles.
This port is currently taken over by a certain unit of the First Mountain Infantry Division of the Red Alert Corps.
The sub-base arrived at Fangchenggang smoothly, which also made Jiang Fan relieved.
Then it was directly launched in the selected place.
It was also built like the Bei'an sub-base.
Guangxi has very rich mineral resources.
Especially in Baise.
The oil reserves are more than 16 million tons, the coal reserves are 530 million tons, the bauxite reserves are 690 million tons, and the manganese ore is 45 million tons.
So many minerals are enough for the sub-base to mine crazily.
There are still 60 mining vehicles.
With the blessing of this Guangxi sub-base.
It is not far from breaking through 3 million yuan a day.
It can be 90 million yuan a month.
It is not a problem to get 1 billion funds within 10 months.
What is difficult is the 500,000 Japanese devils.
After the layout of the branch base in Guangxi is completed, Jiang Fan can start to seize the south.
In addition, he can also extend his tentacles to Southeast Asia.
This is his main purpose for deploying the branch base in Guangxi.
Southeast Asia has rich resources.
And it also belongs to the cultural circle of China.
It is equivalent to the South American backyard of the Eagle Sauce.
This will also be the backyard of China in the future.
But now it is occupied by Western powers.
If the branch base is deployed here, it will be easier to operate and take back these places.
The most urgent task is to deal with the Japanese devils in the northeast first.
"There are still too few Japanese soldiers in the Northeast."
In the headquarters, Jiang Fan couldn't help but sigh.
The 2nd, 6th, 10th, 14th Regiments, and the 39th Mixed Brigade.
Including the 8th Division of the Japanese Army that was annihilated before, and the 4th, 14th, 33rd, and 38th Mixed Brigades.
The total force is less than 200,000, and there is still a long way to go to upgrade to 500,000.
But now we can start to close the pocket.
After forming the 1st Mountain Infantry Division, Jiang Fan did not slow down the pace of recruiting soldiers.
Dozens of barracks are still operating at full capacity.
Now thousands of troops can be recruited every day.
Basically, a full-strength division can be formed in three days.
If you want to keep all the Kwantung Army in the Northeast, you must cut off their route to the peninsula. (To read the violent novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
They only have three routes to evacuate from the Northeast.
The first is Lushun.
It has been completely cut off.
The second is the Anfeng Railway, which is the railway from Andong to Shenyang.
The Red Alert Corps has surrounded Shenyang, and this road has also been cut off.[]
Then there is only one left.
It is the Jilin-Dunji Railway.
This railway is the only one in Jilin.
It is the railway line from Changchun to Yanji.
Yanji borders the northern part of the peninsula.
As long as Yanji is occupied, all channels between the Kwantung Army and the Japanese Army can be completely cut off. The Kwantung Army will also become a completely isolated army.
But Yanji is located in Jilin, and the Red Alert Corps can't get through at all.
So Jiang Fan set his sights on another unit.
The paratrooper unit.
Paratroopers were very famous in World War II.
Both the Garden Operation and the Crete Airborne Operation have left a strong mark in history.
In modern time and space, the airborne force is a country's strategic mobile force, and its importance is self-evident.
Jiang Fan naturally attaches great importance to this strategic branch of the army.
It was not formed before because it was too expensive and because it was not used.
Now that the base receives 2 million yuan in funds every day, it is fully confident to form an airborne force.
The airborne force has very high requirements for the quality of soldiers.
Therefore, all soldiers must be elite soldiers.
If a full���The airborne division will cost 1.8 million.
If it was before, it would take several days to recruit personnel alone.
But now it can be done in one day.
Connecting their equipment basically takes more than 2 million.
The airborne division can be formed in three days at most.
However, although it is easy to form an airborne division, there are not enough planes.
There are currently two battalions of 60 bandicoot transport aircraft.
There are only 4 Century strategic transport aircraft at present.
The maximum load of the bandicoot transport aircraft is 18 tons, and it can carry 80 fully armed soldiers at a time.
If there are 60 aircraft, it can only carry 4,800 soldiers at a time, which is basically the strength of an airborne brigade.
But the number is still not enough.
Jiang Fan decided to form two more battalions.
If 120 bandicoot transport aircraft are squeezed together, they can transport about 10,000 people.
And the Century strategic transport aircraft can also form a battalion.
Although this thing is very expensive, it costs 250,000 per aircraft.
26 aircraft are only more than 6 million.
It can be done in a few days.
The Century Strategic Transport is even larger and is a strategic transport aircraft.
It can carry 200 soldiers at a time.
Basically, the entire division and their weapons, equipment and supplies can be transported in two round trips.
An airborne division has a full complement of 18,000 people.
It has three airborne infantry brigades, one airborne artillery brigade, one airborne logistics support brigade and one airborne combat support brigade.
The organization is basically the same as other divisions, consisting of infantry combat units, artillery support units and logistics units.
Among them, the logistics support and combat support brigades include engineering units, medical units, logistics support units, communications units, etc.
The STG-44 assault rifle is the natural first choice for individual weapons equipped by airborne troops.
This assault rifle weighs a little more than 5 kilograms and has a moderate length. Paratroopers can carry it when airborne.
For artillery, the artillery equipped are lightweight 105mm howitzers and various types of mortars.
Whether it is a bandicoot or a Century Strategic Transport, a 105mm caliber howitzer can be easily stuffed.
Although it is impossible to airdrop 155mm heavy howitzers.
But 105mm howitzers are enough to provide basic fire support.
The role of the airborne division is to occupy Yanji by surprise.
Then it is to build a field airport.
As long as the field airport is built, it can be used for takeoff and landing of bandicoot transport planes.
Reinforcements and heavy weapons can arrive continuously.
Jiang Fan also equipped each airborne brigade with a tank brigade.
Equipped with Grizzly light tanks.
This light tank has a combat weight of 18 tons, is equipped with a 75mm tank gun, and has a speed of 65 kilometers per hour. The bandicoot transport plane can just fit it.
If a field airport is built, these airborne tanks can be transported over.
Or heavy gliders can be used to land tanks directly.
As long as Yanji is occupied, the end of the Kwantung Army will be here.
However, at that time, it will definitely face a crazy counterattack from the Kwantung Army and the Japanese army on the peninsula.
The airborne division must stop them and buy time for them to wipe out the Kwantung Army.
In addition to the first airborne���In addition,
Jiang Fan will continue to form two mechanized infantry divisions.
One of them will be formed by the Bei'an sub-base.
This unit is a surprise that Jiang Fan gave to the Kwantung Army.
The mechanized division that came out from behind them is quite deadly.
Jiang Fan is confident that he can recover the entire Northeast within two months.
The Red Alert Corps that has grown up is not something that the Kwantung Army can stop.
In a small courtyard in Jinzhou,
Gao Zhihang and his partners couldn't help but become anxious.
They successfully arrived in Jinzhou via the BV222C-0 large sea patrol aircraft.
Then they were placed in this small courtyard.
Although they have been eating and drinking well these days, it is like imprisoning them.
It makes them a little uneasy.
Someone finally came this day.
It was a major in a blue air force uniform.
When he walked in (Zhao Qianhao), everyone surrounded him.
As the leader of this group of people, Gao Zhihang stood up and asked,"Major Lin, I wonder how your army plans to place us?
Can we go up to fight the Japanese? We can fly many types of fighters."
Major Lin smiled lightly and said,"The planes you drove before are somewhat different from the planes we are equipped with.
If you want to go to the battlefield to kill the Japanese, I am afraid you still need to go through a period of training.
The arrangements for you have also come down.
Let's go, I'll take you to a place."
The group looked at each other in surprise.
Gao Zhihang thought for a moment and said,"Let's go, we will know what's going on after seeing it.
I heard that the fighter planes equipped by the Red Alert Corps are very advanced, but I haven't seen them yet."
It immediately aroused everyone's curiosity.
Under the loading of a military truck, the group came to a small and medium-sized military airport.
This is a newly built military airport.
It is also the pilot training base of the Red Alert Corps.
The conditions are simple now, and there is no professional aviation school.
Gao Zhihang is the person in charge of the future aviation school selected by Jiang Fan.
This airport is the foundation of the future aviation school.
As the hangar door opened, Major Lin took them in.
There are three types of fighter planes in the hangar. They immediately attracted everyone's attention.
The first plane is a biplane.
The second plane is the P-47D fighter.
It is also the most advanced all-metal lower-wing fighter.
But at this moment, everyone's attention is focused on the third fighter.
The fuselage is painted silver-white, and there is no engine or propeller on the nose.
Instead, there is a hole.
It is the MiG-10 fighter.
These three planes are the low, medium and high-level trainer aircraft of this newly established aviation school.
"It is our most advanced fighter jet and the only one in the world. It has no rivals in the sky.
