Chapter 649 The Last Battle
Chapter 649 The Last Battle
The troops of the 12th Army marched into Heilongjiang in a mighty manner. According to the strategic plan formulated by Ye Feng, the first city to be recaptured was the largest city, Harbin.
At this time, all the Japanese invaders in the three northeastern provinces who were able to retreat were actually gathered in this area.
Ye Feng originally thought that their underground party army would arrive.
The Japanese troops, who had suffered a series of defeats and were at the end of their rope, would continue to retreat and withdraw from the Yalu River. However, unexpectedly, the Japanese top leaders still did not give up and issued an announcement.
Ye Feng will fight a final life-and-death battle under the city of Harbin in an attempt to save the dignity of the so-called Great Japanese Empire once and for all.
Yes.
Ever since Ye Feng raised the anti-Japanese armed forces in Shanghai, he fought his way out of Jiangsu and Anhui, marched into the Central Plains, recovered Shanxi, and then conquered Shandong, Hebei and other lands north of the Yangtze River. In these countless battles, the Japanese were defeated every time they faced Ye Feng, and had a zero winning rate.
The highest-level devils in Japan wanted to avenge their previous defeat in the Battle of Harbin.
For this battle, the Japanese gave it their all, gathered all their forces and stationed them in Harbin, and even urgently dispatched 30,000 troops from the opposite side of the Yalu River Peninsula to come for the decisive battle.
At this time, the 12th Army had lost a lot of troops while attacking Liaoning, Jilin and other places.
It is now reorganized into three divisions, with a total strength of 100,000 troops.
The Japanese army, numbering about 50,000, had to fight this battle with a weak force. Many people were optimistic and felt that their underground party troops had already won the battle.
Only Ye Feng was there, and at this moment he felt like he was facing a formidable enemy.
He was so restless in the headquarters that he was even fidgeting. He was studying maps and flipping through various intelligence messages. This scene confused Zhang Ye who was standing next to him.
"Commander, our current force is twice as strong as the Japanese. We have seized a large amount of weapons and equipment. In terms of heavy weapons firepower output, we are no longer inferior to the Japanese."
"Why do you look like we are at a disadvantage? Isn't this battle a done deal?"
Ye Feng said, "You think too much. The Japanese military deployment recently is too abnormal. They must be hiding some killer trick."
Ye Feng studied this alone for two days and two nights. At the same time, he ordered all troops to stay in place and wait for the order to attack.
The troops are now stationed in Wuchang County, which is dozens of miles away from Harbin City.
For two days, Ye Feng stayed in the headquarters, constantly issuing orders regarding intelligence work.
In order to obtain intelligence about Harbin and surrounding areas, Ye Feng sent out a large number of investigators. He also contacted comrades lurking in the city, and collected a large amount of intelligence about the Japanese devils at all costs.
"The last trump card?"
Zhang Ye was confused and asked, "The Japanese have reached their wits' end. We have forced them to this point. What other tricks do they have?"
Ye Feng asked, "What about their biochemical department? Why is there no information about this?"
Zhang Ye said, "I guess when our army conquered Shanhaiguan, the Japanese felt that they could no longer hold on, so they hurriedly dispersed the biochemical department, right?"
Ye Feng said, "Even if they disbanded, what about those terrible bombs they were researching? They can't take them all to the Pacific battlefield, right?"
The naval battle between the Ugly Country and the Japanese in the Pacific was fierce and Ye Feng had been paying close attention to it. As far as he knew, there had been no information about any bacterial gas bombs on the battlefield since the fierce battle broke out between the two sides, which meant that the Japanese did not use any biological and chemical weapons in the Pacific campaign.
Where did these terrible shells go?
I believe that the Japanese would not seek death by transporting these dangerous shells back to Japan, right?
Then there is only one possibility left, which is still on the land of the three northeastern provinces.
According to Ye Feng's estimation, the Japanese may have a hundred bacterial gas bombs, or even more.
After entering Shanhaiguan, before each battle, Ye Feng would use his scanning system to scan the Japanese troops to deal with the possible threat of horrific poison gas bombs.
What is strange is that until the battle reached Harbin, there was not a single poison gas bomb to be seen on the battlefield.
As the saying goes, when something is out of the ordinary, there must be something wrong.
The Japanese were definitely plotting a shocking conspiracy, perhaps hoping to turn the tide of the war with those poison gas bombs.
This is what Ye Feng was worried about. In fact, he had sneaked into Harbin alone last night. He walked around the city three times and did not return until dawn. However, when he scanned the map, he still could not see any traces of bacterial gas bombs.
Zhang Ye thought for a moment and said, "We have now recovered the entire area north of the Yangtze River. The only thing missing is Heilongjiang. Even if the Japanese use poison gas bombs, it will probably be too late, right? We have five armies. Even if our 12th Army suffers heavy losses, the other troops will eventually arrive."
Ye Feng said slowly, "But what if the 12th Army is completely wiped out in this battle? What if I, Ye Feng, die in the battle?"
what?
Zhang Ye was startled, and a thought flashed through his mind, frightening him so much that the hairs on his body stood on end.
If the 12th Army was destroyed and Ye Feng was killed in battle, this result would be a heavy burden that the underground party troops could not bear.
First of all, without these 100,000 troops, it would not be easy for Liu, Deng and their troops to completely capture Heilongjiang, because the Japanese could continue to send reinforcements from across the Yalu River.
By then, even if the Japanese were at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, they could at least remain invincible thanks to their fierce combat forces.
At this time, what if the Japanese troops south of the Yangtze River marched directly northward?
The Japanese had nearly 300,000 troops south of the Yangtze River. Although most of them were new recruits, they were led by veterans of the Kwantung Army, so their combat effectiveness was by no means bad.
It is conceivable that the northern region, which was finally recovered, might be recaptured by the Japanese once again.
The biggest problem actually lies with Ye Feng.
If he died in battle.
It is definitely more dangerous than the destruction of the 12th Army. All along, the Japanese were afraid of Ye Feng alone.
Without the underground party troops led by Ye Feng, the Japanese would definitely be at a disadvantage psychologically.
For example, the battle to retake Harbin is about to begin.
One hundred thousand underground party troops attacked tens of thousands of Japanese troops. If Ye Feng was not there, it can be said that the enemy could directly leave the city and fight in the field.
Zhang Ye said in surprise, "Commander, we should report the situation here to Yan'an immediately."
Ye Feng nodded and said, "Send the abnormalities of the Japanese and my speculations to Yan'an."
In order to avoid being wiped out at once, Ye Feng ordered the three divisions to be stationed separately early on, and the camps of each regiment should also be dispersed. At the same time, each unit should try to find places that can withstand poison gas bombs so that in special circumstances, the vitality of the troops can be preserved to the greatest extent.
