Chapter 546: Encirclement and Annihilation of Liao's Regiment (1)
Jinxi,
In the Eastward Corps Headquarters,
The atmosphere was heavy and depressing.
Commander Hou sat nervously at his desk, staring at the telegram he had just received. As his eyes moved over the message, a hint of smugness gradually emerged on his tense face.
The telegram clearly stated: "Order the Eastward Corps and the Ninth Corps to advance east and west immediately to retake Jinzhou. No mistakes!"
This order was like a bolt of lightning that cut through the gloomy air, making Commander Hou secretly relieved.
You know, as an old party member who has lost contact with the party organization for many years, Commander Hou has always had deep feelings and firm beliefs for the party in his heart.
Originally, he was very worried that the Shangfeng would decide to withdraw the Eastward Corps by sea because of the fall of Jinzhou. This would mean that a large army could be withdrawn to North China!
Now, this order is like a reassurance, allowing Commander Hou to see the dawn of hope.
Only by attacking Jinzhou can the survival of the Eastward Corps be destroyed, and only then will he have the possibility of uprising on the battlefield!
When the battle was at its most intense, as soon as he took office, he ordered the Corps to rest for a day on the pretext of heavy casualties, because he was unwilling to save Jinzhou!
The Eastward Corps was originally a patchwork group, and none of its subordinate units were willing to submit to each other. When faced with the seemingly simple task of rescuing Jinzhou, everyone wanted to be the first to take credit!
Que Hanqian jumped around for two days, and Luo Qi jumped around for two more days. Now facing tough opponents and huge casualties, both of them fell silent. No one wanted to take any credit for this achievement that was simply out of reach!
Que Hanqian looked at the commander's telegram and mistakenly thought that it was a call from the higher-ups asking them to retreat, so he immediately said,
"Those people in the navy are simply afraid of death. Just because one warship was sunk, the other ships were scared away. Commander, if it is a civilian ship transported by sea, how should we deal with the enemy's air attack?"
Roche also echoed,
"Alas, the reason why we failed is because we were facing a strong enemy but our hearts were not on the same page and we couldn't work together!"
Commander Hou raised the telegram and said,
"Old man, let us take back Jinzhou!"
With a "Puff", Que Hanqian, who was drinking tea, spat out a mouthful of water and his face turned pale.
Although the Eastward Corps still has more than 95 troops, under the command of Roach, the most capable th Independent Division has been wiped out. How can they recapture Jinzhou?
Luo Qi's face was also extremely ugly. After a long while, he managed to squeeze out a few words.
"Commander, you are kidding, right?"
Commander Hou put the telegram on the table with a bang, but said sternly,
"It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders!"
At this time, Lin Weichou, the commander of the 62nd Army, who had not yet exchanged fire with the Communist Army, said,
"Commander, our troops are willing to be the vanguard and annihilate the Communist troops in Jinzhou City!"
There is a very obvious characteristic of people with poor quality, they like to go to extremes, with great ups and downs. Many KMT officers are like this, and Lin Weichou is like this. Before he fought with the Communist Army, he was still arrogant! He thought that no one else could do it, only he could!
Commander Hou smiled slightly and immediately praised,
"Then here comes Commander Lao Lin. Pass on my order. With the 62nd Army as the vanguard, the Corps will immediately march towards Jinzhou. All units must not make any mistakes!"
"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.
Mulan Arsenal,
Aircraft area,
Beside the vast airport runway, the wind was cold and the military flags were fluttering. Thirteen fighter planes and reconnaissance planes that had just been manufactured were lined up in a vertical line of 1!
The young pilots were dressed in neat flight suits, standing tall, with determination and fearlessness in their eyes.
Yin Xinjun stood at the forefront of these pilots.
There was a sense of tragedy in his eyes.
Today, he is going to see off the fourth batch of pilots!
The battle for air supremacy has entered a white-hot stage! These planes will go straight to the battlefield as soon as they leave the factory! And since the total number of planes is not enough, we can only adopt a war of attrition!
So far, the death rate of the first three batches is 85%!
However, all the pilots in the aviation school were still willing to sacrifice their lives and all submitted blood letters to join the war!
Yin Xinjun's eyes showed admiration and reluctance. He said loudly,
“Warriors:
Today, you are about to embark on a journey to a dangerous battlefield. You are fearless warriors, the pride of the Northeast Field Army and the Northeast people.
Each of you is a warrior of steel, with a firm belief and a commitment to justice in your heart. What you are about to face is a brutal battle, a test of life and death, but I firmly believe that your courage and strength will be invincible.
The journey ahead is full of difficulties and obstacles, but behind you are the expectations and trust of tens of millions of compatriots. Every attack and every drop of your blood will flow for the peace and tranquility of the new China. You are the beacon in the darkness, the fire of hope, and you will illuminate the road ahead with your bravery.
Remember, you are not alone. We are all here with you. Your deeds will be remembered, and your sacrifice will be remembered forever, no matter where you are.
Looking forward to the day when you return triumphantly!"
Several ground crew members drove over in a jeep and poured a bowl of wine for each person. Yin Xinjun raised the bowl, drank it in one gulp, and shouted loudly,
"set off!"
The pilots all held up the bowls with both hands and drank the liquor in one gulp. Then, with roars, they threw the bowls to the ground. The crisp cracking sounds came one after another, as if it was a declaration of their determination and a challenge to the enemy.
The broken pieces of porcelain flew everywhere, reflecting their resolute faces. At that moment, their blood was ignited and their passion surged in their hearts. The ritual of breaking the bowl of wine brought their morale to a peak, as if infinite power was surging in their bodies.
The roar of the plane engine gradually sounded, as if playing a war song for the heroes who were about to go to war. The pilots took firm steps and boarded the fighter plane. The cabin door slowly closed and their figures disappeared in the cabin.
As the fighter planes took off one after another and rushed into the blue sky, the tracks that cut through the sky seemed to be a symbol of their determination and courage. They rushed to the unknown battlefield with everyone's expectations!
“They are all young guys!”
Fang Hao next to him said with some emotion!
Yin Xinjun nodded silently.
The KMT Air Force was equipped with American aircraft, so its strength should not be underestimated.
In order to protect the ground troops from enemy air raids, he could only fight a war of attrition!
However, Yin Xinjun had obtained key intelligence from several Kuomintang pilots who had revolted.
At present, the enemy's air force is on the brink of collapse. As long as we continue to exert pressure, we will definitely seize air supremacy in Northeast China and even North China!
Now, the Liaoshen Campaign has entered its second phase.
The battle to encircle and annihilate Liao’s Corps has begun!
But Yin Xinjun's attention was on Huludao!
With the support of the aviation unit and the 1st Assault Group, the encirclement and annihilation of Liao’s Corps will only be faster and more effective!
But if we can eat up the Eastward Corps again, it will undoubtedly be of great benefit to the later battles in the interior!
The Civil War ended one day earlier.
The more beneficial it is for the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea!
