Although Habata Shigeichi to Ushijima Mitsuru changed the order of the military headquarters without authorization. 【. com text] went north to Baoqing instead of west to Boli and was extremely dissatisfied. But dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, and the promised cover of the aviation has not changed. After all, the 11th Division is the main force of the entire Eastern Front, and under the premise that the opponent already has aviation troops, ensuring the safety of the 11th Division is also something that Shigeichi Harata must pay attention to. With this guarantee, the 11th Division never thought about air defense at all.

In the eyes of these somewhat arrogant Japanese officers and soldiers, those air warriors of the Imperial Japanese Army were invincible. Since the China Army was inflicted heavy losses on the battlefield in the China Pass, it was the same when it came to the Kwantung Army. As for when the new air cover promised by the army commander will arrive, no one has thought about it. They all think that as a dignified lieutenant general, Commander Shigeichi Harata will never lie.

That's right, Lieutenant General Shigeichi Harata did not lie, he was telling the truth. The commander of the Kwantung Army, General Umezu Mijiro, was indeed attacked at the two major airfields, and after almost all the air forces originally allocated to the command of the Fifth Army were wiped out, he promised to mobilize new air forces for the Fifth Army in the shortest possible time.

Umezu Mijiro agreed to return the agreement, but Lieutenant General Saburo Endo, commander of the Air Corps, who was the supreme commander of the Kwantung Army's air force, resolutely did not agree to transfer a large number of new flying units to support the Fifth Army's combat operations.

The reason for Saburo Endo's opposition is simple: although the air force of the Kwantung Army is now rapidly expanding in strength, it still has to shoulder the task of air defense throughout Manchuria. Under the circumstances of great uncertainty on the Jiangbei side, it was impossible for the Air Corps to transfer all its combat aircraft to the Fifth Army.

In Saburo Endo's view, it is impossible for the people of China to have the strength to form a combat aviation regiment in such a short period of time. The planes that bombed the Mudanjianghai 1ang airfield could only be bombers dispatched from Jiangbei. Those anti-Manchu forces did not have such great capabilities.

Although he also admitted that the other party's planning of the two plans for the airport surprise attack was classic, planning and implementation are two different things. No matter how well the plan is, it must be able to implement it. Unless Jiangbei intervenes, the other side simply does not have the ability to carry out this air attack. It takes at least one year for a pilot to train from basic to capable of flying a mission. After the Kwantung Army Aviation Corps transferred one-third of its strength to the Fifth Army, it was already overstretched to shoulder the air defense of other important areas, and it really could not allocate too many troops to support the Fifth Army at present. Unless, at the risk of the air defense of other fronts, new forces are mobilized to reinforce the Fifth Army.

But this point is absolutely unacceptable to Saburo Endo, who once vowed not to let a bomb from Jiangbei fall into Manchuria. In Endo's view, although Jiangbei's aviation is low, the performance of the aircraft is backward. But their number is huge, and there is a combat radius enough to cover the heavy bombers of the South Manchurian heavy industrial base.

At present, the Kwantung Army is facing the threat of thousands of aircraft of various types in Jiangbei, and it is extremely undesirable to mobilize a large number of troops to deal with an anti-Manchurian army. The operational target of the Kwantung Army Aviation was Jiangbei, not those so-called anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese forces.

Moreover, the aviation units that the base camp promised to be incorporated into the Kwantung Army were not all in place, and in fact, the strength of the Kwantung Army Aviation Corps was not as great as it is now on paper. With nearly one-third of his troops lost at once, Saburo Endo, who was really unable to make ends meet, was really reluctant to mobilize planes to support Shigeichi Hatada.

In his opinion, the 300 combat planes, which occupy more than one-third of the Kwantung Army's current air power, were served by others without even a single sound, and he Hakuda Shigeichi was simply an idiot. And if he sends more fighters, he will be a king-sized idiot who is even more idiot than an idiot.

Umezu Mijiro insisted on increasing the tune, but Saburo Endo just didn't do it. Back and forth, when the 11th Division attacked Baoqing, these two were still arguing in Xinjing. Despite Umezu Mijiro's extremely tough attitude, Saburo Endo, who refused to bow his head at all, only sent a squadron of reconnaissance aircraft to deal with the errand. As for the rest, one qiē is exempt from talking.

Even this reconnaissance plane squadron, which had already been dispatched and had only been transferred from Xinjing before the 11 th Division went north, was unable to dispatch at all because the Binsui Railway had not yet been repaired and there was a shortage of fuel because of transportation difficulties. This is something that Ushijima doesn't know.

Therefore, when the bomber group led by An Zaijiang rushed to Qingyuan, from the division commander Lieutenant General Ushijima Mitsuru to the division chief of staff Masashi Yoshisa, and all the officers and men thought that it was the air support promised by the army commander. Not only did they not prepare for air defense, but they also held up their rifles to salute those imperial warriors in the air. I just didn't expect that these planes brought not good news, and bombs that split their heads and covered their faces.

Due to the carelessness of the Japanese army, there was no slightest defense. These more than 20 tons of napalm played the greatest role. The Japanese army in Qingyuan did not end up better than the 12th Wing on the front line of Jinshagang after being bombed, and even suffered heavy losses. Because napalm is even more lethal in the presence of buildings than in field situations.

Seeing the raging fire burning on the ground, An Zaijiang showed an imperceptible smile on the corner of Jiang's mouth. After giving the order to return, An Zaijiang immediately used a special code to send the code words "sunset sky" to Yuan Bin, who was waiting for the results of their bombing at Jiamusi Airport

After receiving the code message of An Zaijiang's successful operation, Yuan Bin immediately forwarded the telegram to Yang Zhen, who was in Baoqing County. Yang Zhen received the telegram from Yuan Bin, read it carefully, and put it aside. The success of the air surprise attack was not an accident for Yang Zhen.

In the view of Yang Zhen, who did not know that the division headquarters of the 11th Division had also been completely destroyed in this air raid and that the entire 11th Division had lost its unified command, the successful air raid on the Japanese army on the Jinshagang front line only weakened the Japanese army's ability to continue to move north. It was not yet able to have a decisive impact on the outcome of the war.

At this moment, Yang Zhen, who had turned his mind from the front line of Jinshagang back to Baoqing County, acted as if he hadn't heard the deafening gunfire coming from outside the window. And for the success of the surprise attack of the air forces, I did not feel a trace of joy. Still looking at the map carefully.

While the fierce battle with the 12th Wing of the Japanese Army on the front line of Jinshagang, the battle on the periphery of Baoqing was equally fierce, and even the tragic Cheng Dù had to cross the Jinshagang line. On the front line of Jinshagang, the Japanese army could only take a front-line flat attack due to the restrictions of the terrain. Although the main artillery fire of the 11th Division was concentrated, due to the narrow terrain, it was impossible to invest too many troops at one time.

But for Peng Shilu, who was fighting hard in Baoqing Dongguan, he had to face the Japanese army from two directions. After the loss of Beiguan, Peng Shilu commanded the troops not only to deal with a frontal attack, but also to defend against a flanking attack by the Japanese army attacking from Beiguan to the south. After occupying Dongguan, the Japanese troops besieging Baoqing County immediately divided into two routes, and in addition to attacking Baoqing County with a large brigade, they also sent a reinforced squadron to attack from north to south, forming a flanking attack on Dongguan with the Japanese troops attacking Dongguan from the front.

After the main force of the 44th Wing arrived at night, the Japanese clearly shifted the focus of their attack. Not only did the main forces be invested in Dongguan, but also weakened the attack on the front line of Jiaxinzi. Leaving less than one brigade of troops to continue to attack the Jiaxinzi line, the main force turned most of its forces to the direction of Dongguan except for bypassing a few defensive support points and attacking the Baoqing city wall.

Peng Shilu not only had to face the Japanese troops from both sides in Dongguan, but also in the direction of Dongguan, where there was basically no artillery support, the firepower gap between the two sides was even greater than that of the Jinshagang line. Under the attack of the Japanese army on both sides, Peng Shilu, who was inferior in strength and firepower, fought extremely hard.

By dawn, not only had all the buildings in Dongguan been razed to the ground by Japanese artillery fire, but nearly half of the positions in Dongguan had been repeatedly rushed in by the 44th Wing, which had not hesitated to charge at any cost. At the same time, the city wall of Baoqing was also blown up by the concentrated artillery fire of the Japanese army, and several large slopes that were convenient for infantry attacks were blown up, and they were broken up the city wall several times. There have even been a few times when they have broken into the city.

If it weren't for the troops remaining in the city, risking the exposure of all hidden firing points, the concentrated limited mortars fought back with all their might. Even organized a death squad with party members as the backbone to take the lead in the counter-charge, counterattacking the Japanese troops who broke into the city, and the city defense was almost not broken.

In the face of the fierce Japanese offensive, Peng Shilu asked for reinforcements several times, hoping to transfer the battalion deployed between Jiaxinzi and the backer, which was also the only remaining mobile force on the Baoqing battlefield, into the city, so that he could reinforce Dongguan and strengthen the defenses in the city. But Yang Zhen thought about it for a while and still refused.

Even when the Japanese army had already broken into the city, and even once hit less than a kilometer away from his headquarters, he insisted that the battalion not move. Yang Zhen not only rejected Peng Shilu's request to transfer troops, but even strengthened the company that escorted Xia Boxun into Baoqing to the front line of Jiaxinzi.

The reason is very simple, Dongguan is important, and it can even be said to be the support point of the entire Baoqing's outer defense. But there is one thing that cannot be compared with the pinnacle and the backer. That is, although the first line of Jiaxinzi and the backer is not as important as Dongguan for the defense of Baoqing's periphery, it is not only a barrier in the southwest of Baoqing County, but also a road from Baoqing to Jiamusi.

Its transportation convenience is much better than that of Dongguan, and even Baoqing County. From the first line of Jiaxinzi, he could move westward to Boli at any time and fight in response to the 29th Division. To the south, along the road, you can quickly retract back to the mountain. It would be much faster to retreat by road than to take the large swamp in the east of Baoqing, and the loss of equipment and personnel would be much smaller.

If the first line of Jiaxinzi is lost, it means that at present, the southern part of Baoqing has actually been abandoned, and the Japanese army has at least opened up the road traffic in Baoqing. In terms of the marching ability and physical strength of the Japanese army, it gave great convenience to its maneuver in Baoqing.

It is important to capture the county seat of Baoqing, but for the 11th Division, it is more important now to obtain a maneuver space that can be attacked and retreated. For the time being, opening up the highway in Baoqing and gaining room for large-scale maneuvering is more important for the 11th Division than obtaining a simple tactical support point.
