    Can the national army on the front line in Jilin really not be able to defeat the Japanese reinforcements?

    The answer is yes, because Lu Zhanwu invested a total of 3 infantry regiments on this front line, plus some technical arms, with a total strength of more than 9,600 people.

    Among these troops, the number of heavy firepower is limited. There are only 38 large-caliber artillery guns, and there are also 8 mountain guns and field guns. Compared with a strong city like Jilin, they are really nothing.

    On the other hand, the Japanese army, in addition to a complete infantry division and a brigade-level guard team, also had a tank brigade equipped with more than 200 tanks alone, and more than 150 tanks.  Door size cannon.

    Both sides are not on the same level in terms of military strength or firepower, so it is reasonable for them to be defeated!

    ??????????????? But is the department really incapable of fighting? I don¡¯t think so!

    Although Lu Zhanwu's headquarters only has three regiments on the Jilin front line, it has more than ten regiments of heavy troops in several nearby counties and districts. In addition, it has also assembled ten regiments of elite troops in the Phoenix Mountain area. The artillery and air defense troops alone have  With several regiments, it was nothing to deal with the Japanese and puppet troops on the Western Front.

    The reason why they didn¡¯t all go into battle immediately was because Lu Zhanwu was prepared to kill all the invading Japanese troops this time!

    Including this great defeat, Lu Zhanwu deliberately arranged it. In order to prevent the Japanese and puppet troops from seeing through his plan, Lu Zhanwu deliberately let the frontline troops fight for eight hours before withdrawing.

    And when retreating, the troops not only threw away all the baggage, but also blew up all 16 mountain guns and field guns, which was very realistic.

    The Japanese army was very happy to chase them along the way. They kept picking up materials discarded by the national army. First it was food, then pots and stoves, then kettles, helmets and other equipment, and then weapons, equipment and ammunition.

    When these situations were reported to the 108th Division, Lieutenant General Okazaki was naturally very happy. At the same time, all the officers and staff of the Japanese army headquarters believed that the national army had completely collapsed.

    So, under the order of the forward command, 30,000 Japanese puppet troops quickly pursued the national army in the direction of "escape".

    As everyone knows, while the Japanese army was pursuing the pursuit, Lu Zhanwu's six regiments with a total of more than 20,000 troops detoured for hundreds of kilometers from the north and south directions, cutting across the direction of Jilin, in an attempt to encircle the tens of thousands of Japanese and puppet troops.  trend.

    At the same time, the ten regiments of Fenghuang Mountain also quietly dispatched troops and began to deploy on the front line of Xinlonggou, Shili Beiling and Mushubei Ridge.

    On the morning of August 23, the situation on the battlefield at this time was that the Jiujiu Army had captured Shulan and Jiaohe, and Dunhua was still fighting. The Japanese army had defeated the national army on the front line in Jilin. The main force of 30,000 people except for three  Thousands of heavy troops stayed outside Jilin City, while the remaining 26,000 troops all pursued the troops that had withdrawn from the direction of Jilin.

    At the same time, the infantry division transferred from North Korea had also arrived in Antu County, south of Dunhua, and was advancing towards Dunhua at an extremely fast speed.

    Lu Zhanwu then made an immediate decision and ordered the 8th Regiment from Dunhua to immediately go south to block the northward 71st Division at the Gushanzi, Tumenling and Habatu Ridge lines in Dashitou Town south of Dunhua.

    At the same time, the troops withdrawn from Jilin continued to lure the Japanese troops to withdraw to Musubei Ridge.

    Since it was learned that the Japanese pursuing troops marched in three groups, the leading troops were mainly chariot brigade and cavalry regiment, and were also equipped with a mechanized infantry regiment, with a total strength of about 7,000 people.

    In the middle is the main force of the 108th Division, with a total of more than 12,000 people.  The last ones were two brigades of puppet troops, with a total strength of more than 7,000 people.

    This arrangement surprised Lu Zhanwu and others, but they were also ecstatic. You must know that according to the usual marching principles of the little devils, the puppet troops will usually be in the front, because the Japanese army needs these puppet troops to attract firepower for them and serve as  cannon fodder.

    But this time, since it was a pursuit operation, the puppet troops were naturally left behind for the sake of military exploits.

    Of course, this is also related to the equipment of the puppet army. Because it is a puppet army, most of them are infantry. There are few horses, so the speed is naturally slow.

    What the pursuing troops need is speed, which is exactly what the puppet army does not have, so they can only be ranked at the end of the marching troops.

    In this way, Lu Zhanwu decided to place the main force in the northernmost Mushubei Ridge. There is an artillery regiment and an air defense regiment here, as well as a newly formed anti-armor battalion, plus two regiments of infantry.  Use all your strength to deal with the vanguard of the Japanese army.

    In addition, at Shili Beiling, 20 kilometers away from Mushubei Ridge, Lu Zhanwu deployed 8 elite regiments, coupled with an artillery regiment and a large number of heavy machine gun troops.?To deal with the main force of the 108th Division.

    As for what follows, Lu Zhanwu only placed two regiments in Xinlonggou, mainly responsible for blocking the two puppet infantry brigades and preventing the 108th Division from breaking through.

    At two o¡¯clock in the afternoon on the 23rd, the leading Japanese troops arrived at Musubei Ridge!

    It is said to be a mountain, but the terrain is not steep. It is just full of hills and hills. In addition, there are not many people nearby, so the mountain path is not wide and it is not easy to walk.

    Having been chasing for a day and a night, even the tank troops and the Japanese soldiers in the vehicles were very tired.

    You must know that it is summer now, the temperature is so high, and the Japanese tanks are relatively "pocket-sized". Entering them is like entering a tin can, it is sweltering and very uncomfortable.

    Don¡¯t underestimate the impact of weather on tanks. During the Middle East war, the United States and the Soviet Union actively provided a large amount of weapons and equipment to all parties involved in the war since the outbreak of the war, among which land warfare equipment occupied an absolute dominant position.

    Among them, the Americans supported Israel, while the Soviets supported the Arab countries. Especially in the third and fourth Middle East wars, all warring parties imported the most advanced main battle tanks at the time from the United States, the Soviet Union and other countries, and  Fight it out in the vast desert.

    US-made, British-made and some legal-made equipment make up the luxurious lineup of the Israeli armored forces, especially the United States¡¯ military aid, while Arab countries have mainly built their own armored forces with Soviet-made tanks.

    However, in these two wars, the main battle equipment supported by all parties showed strong acclimatization in desert areas, especially Soviet-made tanks.

    As a big iron lump on the land battlefield, the tank is covered with heavy armor. Although the tank looks majestic from the outside, weighing dozens of tons, in fact, the space for the crew inside the tank is very small, and the hot desert environment  It turned the tank into a large, airtight iron shell.

    Since the Soviet Union was developing the vehicle body more specifically for the cold zone environment, the internal heat dissipation problem of Soviet tanks became an invisible killer in desert areas.

    Many tank drivers in Arab countries suffered from heatstroke or even dehydration during battles. The temperature in the cabins of many Soviet-made tanks was as high as over 65 degrees.

    The members simply cannot endure fighting in this environment for a long time. According to subsequent investigations, the "abandonment without battle damage" rate of tanks in Arab countries is much higher than that of Israelis. Most of the tanks were abandoned in intact condition.  Abandoned, this situation also paved the way for the subsequent defeat of the Arab coalition forces.

    "Compared with the large tanks made by the Soviets, the Little Devil's tank is not only smaller in size, but also has an even narrower space inside.

    August is the hottest season of the year in the Northeast. In addition, the virgin forest is relatively humid. When the sun shines, the water vapor evaporates, just like a big steamer.

    Under such circumstances, one can imagine the living conditions inside the tank.

    After a day and night of pursuit, the Chinese army was exhausted, but the Japanese army was also very tired, and many Japanese tank crews were already dehydrated.

    The only thing that excites them is that not long ago they defeated a small-scale blocking force. From the opponent's equipment and tactical level, the head of the Japanese tank brigade deduced that it should be the guard force of the commander/that person.  That is to say, the opponent's main force is in front, and they see the dawn of victory.

    And the map shows that once you pass this mountainous area, there will be a smooth road behind, so the Japanese commander waved his hand and ordered the troops to move forward immediately, quickly pass through this mountainous area, and catch up with the Chinese defeated army!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
