"It's over, everything is over!"
The regiment commander of the 10th Regiment Infantry 8th Brigade looked at the one-sided battle in the sky and could not help but feel despair.
Just now, when they saw the fleet of aircraft with the medicine flag on them.
The morale of the entire division rose, and hope rose in their hearts.
However, the border guards only had about 30 fighter jets, but they had already caused chaos. Everyone knew that there was no hope for this aerial battle.
"Retreat, retreat!"
A signal flare rose from a Japanese command plane.
After receiving the signal to retreat, the Japanese planes no longer wanted to fight. Instead, they directly turned around and returned to where they came from.
"Hurry up and finish the battle.”
When the Japanese Army Air Force retreated, they left behind some planes, all of which were old Type 4 Type A biplane fighters.
Although these fighter jets couldn't pose a fatal threat to Wild Horse, they couldn't ignore it.
Although the biplane was slow, it had a small turning radius. In terms of combat, it could still compete with Wild Horse for one or two rounds.
This also led to the end of the aerial battle.
Looking at the disappearing fleet, the captain sighed heavily.
However, they had already reaped a bountiful harvest.
The Kwantung Army had more than 100 Army Air Force planes when they arrived, but there were less than 40 when they returned.
They had lost more than two-thirds of their forces, and this battle had produced several elite pilots who had shot down more than five enemy aircraft.
According to the current standards of the Air Force, only elite pilots could shoot down 5-10 enemy planes. Only those who could shoot down more than 10 enemy planes could be considered ace pilots.
At the moment, the border defense army air force had not yet been born.
If this ace pilot could be born in their 3rd Fighter Group, then it would be a great honor.
Two minutes later, another group of Mustang fighters arrived.
Seeing that the meat that was about to reach his mouth was thrown away just like that, he vented his anger on the Japanese soldiers on the ground.
After more than an hour of intense battle.
The 10th Division had lost about 10,000 soldiers, and a large number of Japanese soldiers were being killed at every moment.
Being surrounded by the armored troops in this place without any bunker, they could only wait for death.
On the other side, the 1st Infantry Division's siege was more difficult.
The two Japanese brigades relied on simple fortifications to resist very tenaciously.
However, there was also good news.
At the cost of losing more than 50 soldiers, they successfully took down the new citizens and began to build defensive positions outside the city.
Qin Yi had been staying in the frontline command post of the First Army since the war started.
This battle was extremely important to the border guards. It would determine whether they could successfully recover the entire northeast in the future.
He had to read every battle report before he could rest assured.
"Commander, don't worry. The battle at the front line is going very smoothly. According to our calculations, the First Route Army will be completely settled in about three hours.”
The 10th division was the trump card of the Kwantung Army.
As long as this elite division was wiped out, the entire Fengtian would be exposed to the border guards.
Qin Yi nodded and said,"" The 7th airborne division is in position. You have to find a landing site quickly. I don't want them to be surrounded by the enemy after they land.”
The appearance of the 7th Airborne Division had caused some changes to the winter offensive plan.
Originally, they had planned to fight in the area of Yushun, and the task of stopping the Japanese reinforcements fell on the head of this airborne division.
The 1st Infantry Division would join the battle to recover Liao Province.
Although the firepower of the airborne division was not as good as that of the 1st Infantry Division, it was not a problem to stop the Japanese reinforcements.
An hour later, a piece of good news came from the front line.
"Report, the 2nd and 3rd divisions have called. Our army has wiped out the 10th division and will continue to move north along the railway line to attack Fengtian.”
In just over two hours, the two divisions had lost nearly a thousand men.
Finally, they had bitten off the hard bone of the 10th division.
The smooth progress of the war was beyond Qin Yi's imagination. Was the Guandong Army too weak or were the border guards too strong?
In fact, the reason why the siege was so successful was due to a combination of many factors.
The absolute advantage of equipment was only one of them.
The most important thing was to take out the command center of the Japanese 10th Division and destroy their command center. More than 20,000 Japanese soldiers could only fight on their own.
There was also the word 'fast' that stood out.
From the beginning of the bombardment, it took only half an hour to launch a surprise attack on the Japanese 10th Division.
He didn't give them any time to prepare.
It was also because of these factors that created the miracle of wiping out a Japanese division in just over two hours.
This battle was indeed a miracle for the ancient country.
"Great, the biggest obstacle to attack Fengtian has been cleared. Order the 2nd and 3rd divisions to advance at full speed. Fengtian hasn't reacted yet.”
He looked at the real-time changes in the battle situation on the sand table.
Qin Yi looked at the new citizens and said,""Now, it's up to the 1st Division. As long as the battle is over there, the entire Guandong Army will be crippled by us. Fengtian will be within our grasp.”
Then, he turned his attention to the Bohai Bay area.
