radicalducati Chapter 167
Chapter 167
Although the Third Army has only completed its reorganization, it has not yet massively equipped large eight-wheeled wheeled armored vehicles.
But its mobility is still faster than that of the national army that walks on two legs.
Not to mention the attack of the Air Force.
Even the B-29s were involved in the bombing of them.
However, the march of the Third Army encountered some trouble.
There are many mountainous areas in Fu Province, and the road construction situation is very bad.
Fortunately, God still gave face, and it didn't rain.
Otherwise, the road traffic situation in Eifu Province would not be able to carry out a motorized march at all.
Some road cars can drive, but tanks really can't.
Yu Chen decisively let the tank troops stay in place.
Even 155-mm howitzer units were left.
Directly let the troops travel lightly and chase Chen Cheng's corps to fight.
Soldiers are fast.
This is the experience he has summed up since fighting for more than a year.
And the actual combat also proved that his decision was correct.
At this moment, the Chen Cheng Corps had completely lost the will to fight again.
Hundreds of thousands of troops were chased and ran all over the place.
When caught up by the Northeast Army.
They often choose to surrender directly on the spot rather than resist.
Except for a small number of troops.
Most of them were arrested and charged with the army.
It is certainly impossible to think that they will work hard for Jiang Baldhead.
Soon, the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Chen Cheng Corps began to evolve from a retreat into a major rout.
When he chased after the Shaowu area.
Yu Chen asked the troops of the 25th and 32nd Divisions to continue pursuing the remnants of the Chen Cheng Corps.
Can't make them stop.
And he took four divisions of troops directly to the northeast and quickly maneuvered. 29 The target is directed at Pingnan County.
This is the last gap that holds Liu Zhi's corps.
As long as this place is closed, they have no other way to retreat than jump into the sea.
At the same time, the three divisions of the First Airborne Army moved again.
Under the load of more than two hundred C-54 aircraft.
The 1st and 2nd Airborne Divisions successively completed the airborne landing in Shouning County.
A Nationalist cavalry brigade stationed here did not even put a gun.
As soon as the Northeast Air Force arrived, they supported the announcement of the uprising.
Shouning is located in the north of Fu Province, on the border with Zhejiang Province.
However, except for Pingnan and Shouning.
There is one more place to close.
This is Fuding City, which borders Wenzhou in Zhejiang Province.
This is also their last route to escape north.
The First Marine Division successfully landed in the area of Taimu Mountain in Fuding on the same day.
The 3rd Airborne Division also carried out airborne operations afterwards.
No obstacles were received.
When Liu Zhi received a large number of Northeast Army troops in Fuding and Shouning.
Suddenly, the whole person's face turned pale.
Originally, he thought that the Northeast Army's target this time was Chen Cheng.
After all, the main forces of the Air Force are concentrated on Chencheng's side.
The main force of the Fourth Army was also fighting Chen Cheng.
He also thought of launching a bigger offensive on Ningde's side.
Come and help them share some of the firepower.
Unexpectedly, the target of the Northeast Army was Chen Cheng at all.
It was the 200,000-strong army of his Liu Zhi Corps.
Run! You have to run right away!
Both Shouning and Fuding were occupied by the Northeast Army.
He has now also seen the combat effectiveness of the Northeast Army.
There were more than 20,000 Northeast Army in both directions.
Running here is no different from digging into your pocket.
Even less to the south.
On the Fuzhou side, there is not only the Northeast Army, but also the 19th Route Army.
So the Pingnan County defense line is his only way out.
As long as he passed Pingnan, he could retreat in the direction of Shangrao.
But he also understands.
Since the Northeast Army has planned to lay down this pocket array.
How could there be such a glaring gap?
If his guess is correct.
The main force of the Northeast Army pursuing Chen Cheng must be on the way to Pingnan County.
What Liu Zhi guessed was indeed correct.
Among the joint command headquarters in Fuzhou.
"How many helicopters have we shipped over now?"
Yu Chen asked to the officer on the side.
The officer looked through the documents transmitted earlier, and immediately reported: "Report, 50 have been assembled and can be put into use." "
These helicopters were the Z-3 transport helicopters that had not been equipped for a long time in their Third Army.
One Z-3 transport helicopter is capable of carrying 12 soldiers.
50 aircraft can carry 600 people at one time, which is already equivalent to the strength of a full battalion.
Moreover, Fuzhou is not far from Pingnan, with a direct lift distance of only about 100 kilometers.
With the Z-3 transport helicopter, at its speed of 200 kilometers per hour.
It takes more than an hour to complete a troop projection of a sortie.
It can transport thousands of soldiers in a day.
Now he had the Third Marine Division left in his hands to move.
The 2nd Marine Division was still staring at Liu Zhi's corps on the Ningde front.
"Immediately let the helicopter unit transport the troops of the Third Marine Division to Pingnan to block the route of Liu Zhi's regiment's escape to the west."
The speed must be fast. "
Then he found Jiang Guangyu and Cai Tingkai.
"Two, we are about to complete the encirclement of the 200,000-strong army of Liu Zhi's corps.
The next operation will also require the assistance of your 19th Route Army.
I need the command of the 19th Route Army to encircle and suppress the Liu Zhi Corps together. "
The 19th Route Army has not been idle these days.
More than 20,000 people in the three divisions received weapons from the Northeast Army.
Although all rifles, machine guns, mortars, anti-tank guns, etc.
But for the 19th Route Army, it was already a shotgun for a gun.
G43 semi-automatic rifle, MG42 universal machine gun, M2HB Browning heavy machine gun, 60/82/120 mm mortar, 57 mm anti-tank gun.
The equipment of more than 20,000 people will be given as soon as they say.
Although the soldiers are not yet very familiar with weapons.
But the 19th Route Army is known as the Iron Army.
This iron army was also fought by them.
The combat effectiveness is still quite good. (Read violent novels, go on Feilu Fiction Network!)
Adaptability to weapons is also higher.
After all, rifles, machine guns, mortars, anti-tank guns are not high-tech weapons.
It's not much different from before them.
It's just more firepower.
Jiang Guangyu and Cai Tingkai are indispensable.
"Please rest assured Commander Yu that from now on, every soldier and pawn of the 19th Route Army will be under the command of the commander, and we will never interfere with the command. "
Yu Chen quickly waved his hand and said with a smile: "No, no, no, the 19th Route Army is still inseparable from the two."
Is the XIX Army or the XIX Army without two sitting in town?
Next, they troubled the two to take their troops north to Ningde and wait for the order to attack. "
Z3 helicopters landed in Pingnan County.
The first batch of a marine battalion was sent to Pingnan with full strength.
The last hole in the pocket array was also plugged.
Ningde to Pingnan is hundreds of kilometers away.
Not to mention the difficulty of mountain roads, there are many sections of roads that were directly blown up by bombers.
This 100 kilometers will take at least three or four days.
So they are doomed to not be able to escape.
Two days later, when Liu Zhi's main force was still more than 30 kilometers away from Pingnan County.
The main forces of the 26th Division of the Fourth Army successfully reached Pingnan County.
The Third Marine Division also used these two days to transport an entire regiment of troops.
Liu Zhi's side after receiving the news.
Suddenly, the whole person sat down.
"Quick, ask the principal for help and help us break through." "
And Jiang Guangtou was also shocked after receiving a telegram asking for help from Liu Zhi.
Liu Zhi's army of 200,000 is surrounded?"
Gu Zhutong nodded with an ugly face and said, "Principal, Liu Zhi's situation is very critical.
It has been surrounded by the Northeast Army on three sides.
I'm afraid it won't be saved. "
Jiang Guangtou was immediately not calm.
Liu Zhi's army of 200,000 included several of his divisions.
These are his elite troops.
If the damage is in Phuoc Province.
Then the national army will be greatly damaged.
Let Chen Cheng rescue him. "
Gu Zhutong shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "He is now being chased and run by the Northeast Army. I'm afraid it's hard to protect myself.
Our forces in Zhejiang Province are also empty.
Headmaster, we have no more soldiers to send.
Once Liu Zhi's army is annihilated, the entire Zhejiang Province and Jiangxi will be empty.
The most important thing we should be thinking about now is how to keep these two provinces. "
Jiang Guangtou nodded a little absently and said, "Then send troops from other places to station in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces."
It must not be invaded by the Northeast Army. "
In the eyes of both of them.
Territory is more important than people.
And Liu Zhi's corps became their outcast.
There is no way to give up.
They can't save it now, even if they want to.
The day after completing the encirclement. 837
Yu Chen gave an order.
An army of more than 100,000 immediately launched a general attack on Liu Zhi's regiment trapped in Ningde, Fu'an, and Zhouning.
The Air Force and carrier-based aircraft forces have assembled thousands of fighters.
It took the lead in launching indiscriminate bombing of the Liu Zhi Corps in the three places.
Liu Zhi had his troops resist vigorously.
While waiting for reinforcements from Jiang Guangtou's side.
But before he knew it, he didn't have any reinforcements.
Everything was an excuse for Jiang to keep resisting and delaying time.
I have to say that Liu Zhi's resistance is still very tenacious.
His own command ability is also quite good.
Although the troops have been losing ground all the time.
But it didn't turn into a rout.
After two days of fighting.
Liu Zhi's army of 200,000 has also shrunk by more than half.
The turtle shrank in the area of Fu'an County to defend.
But at this time, their morale was also extremely low.
On the evening of the next day, a secret telegram from Jinling directly caused Liu Zhi's mentality to collapse.
"The forces in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are empty, and your troops do not have any reinforcements, and they have become abandoned. "
And it was his close friend who sent this cipher message.
This is also the plan arranged by Zheng Yaoxian.
The effect is also impressive.
After receiving this telegram, Liu Zhi couldn't help but scold: "Abandoned son? actually deceived me, the principal dared to deceive me." "
He did not expect that he was loyal to the principal.
Just treat him as an outcast.
He still didn't tell him the truth, and lied to him that reinforcements were on the way here.
Even if he said that there were no reinforcements, let him Liu Zhi resist to the end.
He will also strictly carry out this order.
But you shouldn't lie to him.
At night's notice, Liu Zhi gave an order.
"Whoever is willing to descend will descend."
If you don't want to surrender, you can choose to break through or continue to resist. "
And this also brought an end to this battle of Fu Province.
In this battle, Jiang Guangtou dispatched an army of 500,000.
In the end, only Chen Cheng returned to Fuzhou with tens of thousands of people.
This battle directly caused most of the elite losses of the national army.
It can be described as a great injury to vitality.
This also made Zhang Xueming decide to launch the October offensive in advance
The October offensive also became the June offensive.
