Chapter 88: Recovering Jinyuan Province, the Second Round of Strategic Bombers Begins
In the early morning of March 3, a number of slender P-7D Mustang fighter jets appeared in the sky above Ningwu Pass and Yanmen Pass.
The appearance of fighter planes also caused chaos among the defenders on the defense line.
However, this time, the P-51D Mustang fleet dropped not aerial bombs, but propaganda bombs.
The above content is to persuade you to surrender. As long as you lay down your weapons and surrender, everything that happened before will be forgiven.
Anyone who is willing to join the Renaissance Army can also join the Renaissance Army and become a member of the Renaissance Army.
At the same time, the leaflets also revealed that Xiurong County had been occupied and their retreat had been cut off.
When these leaflets were flying everywhere, some literate soldiers quietly picked up the leaflets and read them.
"What? Xiurong County was occupied by the Fuxing Army?"
When an officer saw the content of the leaflet, his face suddenly changed.
Xiurong County is right behind them and is occupied by the Fuxing Army, which means they are already surrounded by the Fuxing Army.
This news was extremely sensational and shocking to the defenders of Ningwu Pass and Yanmen Pass.
"Immediately confiscate the leaflets. Anyone who dares to spread the news will be shot on the spot."
The commander of the 72nd Division also changed his expression when he saw the contents of the leaflet.
He was well aware of the impact that the contents of this leaflet would have if they were circulated among the military.
So he immediately ordered the confiscation of leaflets and the blocking of the news.
But with such sensational news and so many leaflets distributed, how could it be possible to block it?
"Commander, has Xiurong County really been occupied?"
A colonel asked him hesitantly.
The division commander's eyes flashed, and he said with certainty: "This must be fake news. Xiurong County is right behind us, how could it be occupied? This is fake news spread by the Fuxing Army to shake our morale. Don't be fooled!"
In fact, he knew very well whether the news was true or false.
This reminded him of the strange group of planes yesterday.
This group of planes flew over their heads and went straight to the rear. Therefore, the fall of Xiurong County must be related to this group of strange planes.
Be polite before fighting.
Now that the leaflets have been distributed, the next step is to rely on force to make the defenders face reality.
On the front lines of Ningwu Pass and Yanmen Pass, the artillery units immediately poured shells into the defenders' positions and launched a new round of attacks.
Heavy artillery of calibers such as 105mm, 150mm, 155mm, and 203mm roared, and the Ningwu Pass and Yanmen Pass positions were engulfed in a series of explosions and flames.
Behind Ningwu Pass.
The 1st Airborne Division's Tank Battalion and 2nd Regiment launched a surprise attack in the direction of Ningwu Pass.
One after another, the M22 Cicada tanks took the lead, forming a small steel torrent.
"Tanks...The Renaissance Army, the Renaissance Army is coming!"
Behind Ningwu Pass there is a place called Yangwu Village, where two rivers meet. At the same time, the railway also passes through the mountains and winds towards Ningwu Pass.
This is where the logistics troops of the 72nd Division are located.
At this moment, a battalion plus a logistics unit and an engineering unit of more than 1800 people were stationed in Yangwu Village, with a total force of more than people.
The defenders here only discovered the tank cluster composed of M22 Cicada tanks when it was only a few kilometers away from Yangwu Village.
The battalion commander in charge of defending this place had just hung up the phone from the division headquarters when he heard the shouts of the Fuxing Army.
His face turned pale immediately.
The division commander had just told him to reinforce his position because the Fuxing Army might appear behind him, but the Fuxing Army attacked him the next moment.
This was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for the defenders of Yangwu Village.
“Boom boom boom…”
The 24 75mm howitzers of the two artillery battalions in the rear began shelling, and dense shells began to fall in Yangwu Village, setting off a series of continuous explosions.
In the sky, the armed reconnaissance helicopter battalion that took off from Xiurong County to provide support also appeared on the horizon.
Under the cover of artillery fire, the group of armed reconnaissance helicopters arrived above Yangwu Village without encountering any obstruction.
"Swish swish..."
"Da da da....."
The double-blade helicopter fired rockets or bullets at the rushing crowd.
The flames of the explosion instantly engulfed the crowd.
The defenders now have nowhere to hide.
The safest place seemed to be the houses in the village.
But at this time, a tank cluster consisting of dozens of M22 Cicada tanks had already advanced to the outside of Yangwu Village.
"boom...."
"Da da da....."
When the Cicada tank saw the enemy appearing, it fired a shell without hesitation and the machine gun began to roar at the same time.
The Cicada tank easily broke through the outskirts of the village and entered the village.
"Come on!"
The paratroopers following the tanks roared and charged into the village.
A one-sided battle broke out in the village.
The logistics troops of the 72nd Division did not even have complete guns, let alone combat effectiveness.
The only one with any fighting power was a battalion of defenders.
But how could they possibly withstand the superior firepower of the Renaissance Army without building a position?
A call for help was also made to the headquarters of the 72nd Division.
When the commander received the news, the phone slipped from his hand and his face turned visibly pale.
Yangwu Village was lost!
Not only was a large amount of combat supplies stored here for the 72nd Division, it was also their only retreat.
Moreover, all the defensive positions of Ningwu Pass are outside the pass, but there is no position facing behind them.
After capturing Yangwu Village, the Second Regiment of the First Airborne Division immediately organized its forces to continue its attack in the direction of Ningwu Pass.
When artillery fire was heard from behind, everyone in the 72nd Division knew that their retreat had been cut off and they were surrounded by the Fuxing Army.
Immediately, the morale of the entire 72nd Division became shaken.
In less than half an hour, the front-line positions collapsed.
There were even some defenders on the positions who surrendered to the Fuxing Army in an organized manner.
"The situation is over!"
At this time, these four words emerged in the mind of the commander of the 72nd Division.
"Marshal, I'm sorry for you!"
An hour later, the 72nd Division surrendered en masse to the Fuxing Army.
In the evening, the defenders of Yanmen Pass also surrendered to the Fuxing Army in an organized manner.
In less than two days, the two most solid passes, Ningwu Pass and Yanmen Pass, fell into the hands of the Fuxing Army.
"run!"
Fu Changqing also knew what the fall of Ningwu Pass and Yanmen Pass meant.
Although Jinyang has strong walls, it is definitely not able to withstand the heavy artillery of the Fuxing Army.
Staying in Jinyang means death.
"You can keep the green hills without worrying about having firewood!"
Fu Changqing decisively led the remaining tens of thousands of troops to retreat towards southern Shanxi overnight.
When faced with Ryosuke Hashimoto who came to him to persuade him not to run away, Fu Changqing refused decisively.
"Jinyang City is given to you. You can defend it however you like."
He has none of his starting troops.
The 72nd Division, the 73rd Division, and the 101st Division, these three units were his reliance in becoming the Governor of Jinyuan.
How could he have the courage to stay in Jinyang City?
"Bakayaloo, coward, this Fu Changqing is a coward!"
Without Fu Changqing's garrison, how could a Fuso infantry battalion alone defend Jinyang City?
Fu Changqing ran away, and the Fuso people also ran away!
Although they are very proud, they seem to lack confidence when facing the Restoration Army.
Because the Fusion Army's impressive record was achieved through fighting against Fuso.
The 6th Division and the 20th Division on the island city side were completely wiped out.
It is a dream for an infantry battalion to defend the city of Jinyang.
Although the Japanese are stubborn, they are not fools.
On the morning of March 3, the vanguard of the 8st Airborne Division appeared at the foot of Jinyang City. The vanguard battalion even rushed into the city and planted the flag of the Fuxing Army on the top of the city.
This also means that Jinyang, the capital of Jinyuan Province, has been occupied by the Fuxing Army.
At this time, the 10th Mechanized Infantry Division also took advantage of their mobility.
Move south along the Tongpu Line and launch an attack on cities in southern Shanxi.
The 8th Mountain Infantry Division moved along the Zhengtai Line towards Niangzi Pass.
When the news came that Jinyang City was occupied by the 1st Airborne Division, Jiang Hua knew that there would be no obstacles to taking over Jinyuan Province.
The only thing that made him feel sorry was that Fu Changqing actually ran away, and ran away so decisively.
However, Zheng Yaoxian had already assured him that he had arranged a decapitation operation against Fu Changqing. As long as Fu Changqing's trace could be found, he would definitely not be able to escape.
The news that Jinyang was occupied by the Fuxing Army also spread throughout the country in a short period of time.
"The Renaissance Army has taken over Jinyuan Province and now controls five provinces with a population of over 60 million. Their rise is simply unstoppable."
In the capital city, Yang Kaitai, Yuan Shicheng's first aide, couldn't help but sigh deeply after receiving the news.
The capture of Jinyuan Province also meant that the Fuxing Army had completed the three-sided encirclement of the Northern Frontier Army.
He seemed to have seen the destruction of the northern border.
"It's just a matter of time!"
He knew very well that the next target of the Fuxing Army would be the Northern Frontier.
By then, surrounded on three sides, there is no reason why the northern border will not be destroyed.
"Brother Qiushi, I heard that the Fuso people seem to be trying their best to help Yuan Shicheng. If they help him, perhaps Yuan Shicheng can still survive."
A middle-aged man looked at Yang Kaitai and said.
This person has a strong literary air.
He was Yang Kaitai's good friend and the president of Shangjing University - Yan Kai.
Yang Kaitai sneered and said, "It's just a tiger trying to get its skin. The Fusang people are just wolves with ambitions and have a deep blood feud with us. Just wait and see, it won't be long before Yuan Shicheng becomes a puppet of the Fusang people."
At this moment, he was completely disappointed with Yuan Shicheng.
Ever since Yuan Shicheng agreed to the Fuso people's conditions, he has never left the Yang Mansion.
One reason is that he hates the Japanese very much.
The second reason is that he knew that Yuan Shicheng was no longer the same Yuan Shicheng as before.
In the early morning of March 3, B-10 strategic bombers took off one after another from two military airports in Qidong Province.
There are still three strategic bomber aviation brigades.
This time, the bombs they carried were all M19 cluster napalm bombs.
Each bomber carried 40 missiles.
The number of pieces carried by 279 B-29 strategic bombers was as high as .
This bombing of Daban is enough to be recorded in the history of the world's air forces.
(The next step is to make the fire-baked big board, which is also the appetizer of the fire-baked Xijing. By the way, I would like to ask for a reward. Every penny is the love of the godfathers)
