Speaking of this, Yang Zhen looked at his watch and said, "Yuan Bin should have made preparations there, and now several of their planes have been conducting reconnaissance over Miaoling and Banjuhe." 【. In ten minutes, their bombers and planes will arrive in the area of Miaoling. Tell your troops, no matter what they see or feel, don't say anything. ”
"Originally, I was going to use this batch of bombs on the front line of Camel Peak, but since your interspersed troops have already entered, they can only be used for the Japanese heavy artillery fortifications in the direction of Miaoling. Rest assured, these bombs are not as destructive as those of the large-tonnage aerial bombs, but they are well suited to this kind of fortification. Do you really think that there is a bomb at the headquarters and there is nowhere to drop it, and you are ready to spend it for nothing? I can tell you that the headquarters is not so generous. Especially I'm always cautious. ”
"But you here, now that the Japanese have blown up the passage to the upper floor, the few companies you left inside the Japanese fortifications are of little use. Sue them, leave one company on guard, and the rest of the troops are all withdrawn. A roundabout detachment was reconstituted, ready to receive the first roundabout troops. If the direction of the Hump starts, your second detour force will immediately come out to support the first detour force. ”
"According to what you said, the strength of the entire Japanese fortress group in Honey Mountain is about 1,500 people, judging from the current strength of the Japanese army invested in the ridge line, as well as the casualties caused by the previous battles, it is already a lot of 1,000 combat soldiers now, and it also has to bear the defense of the entire area from Miaoling to Honey Mountain."
"According to estimates, the Japanese army now estimates that the number of troops used in the entire Camel Peak line has reached the extreme. Most of its so-called forces should have been involved in the four, five, or eight heights by now. If you can take advantage of the emptiness of the troops in the rear and capture the hump in one fell swoop, it will be of great help to you in the future. ”
Hearing this, Du Kaishan nodded and said, "No. 1, we have also taken this situation into consideration." But there has been no response from the interspersed troops for a long time, and there has been no movement in that direction so far. I've been worried about whether anything will happen to them. After all, that direction was almost entirely exposed to Japanese artillery fire. ”
Hearing this, Yang Zhen smiled and said, "Why are you so breathless today?" Don't be in a hurry, wait and see. Since there has been no movement over there, it means that their roundabout action has not yet been detected by the Japanese army. You chose a good time, and chose the time to intersperse the detour troops at the time when you basically captured the surface of the four, five, or eight heights, and the vanguard company had already reached the ridge line. ”
As a result, the main focus of the Japanese army was attracted to the front. There shouldn't be any major problems with their detour this time. Wait, the time should be about the same. If nothing else, they will start at this time and a half. ”
Yang Zhen's prediction was good, and the detour interspersed with the troops throughout the whole roundabout process, but he really didn't encounter any big trouble. For the sake of prudence, Wu Ruofu, who led the team, did not have full access to the guò river. Instead, it is used in platoons, spaced 50 meters apart, and uses large boulders scattered all over the river as a cover to pass guò in batches.
Although this temporarily disrupts the establishment, the degree of interspersing is relatively low. However, it greatly reduces the chance of being revealed. Even if the Japanese army deployed a group of bunkers on the interspersed route to ambush it, it would not cause too many casualties, making the roundabout troops lose their combat effectiveness.
After the two companies all returned to their positions, Wu Ruofu was a little difficult. The battle for the ridge line of the 458 heights was fierce, and if the two companies in their hands attacked their anticline positions along the ridge from behind, they could greatly cope with the frontal battle. At the very least, it can significantly reduce the casualty rate of troops in a frontal attack.
But looking at the camel hump, which was already not far away, the importance of taking the commanding heights that could overlook the entire Japanese army's Honey Mountain fortress group was placed in front of Wu Ruofu again. As long as the camel peak is taken, it is equivalent to blocking the retreat of all Japanese troops on the 458 heights. At the same time, it also cut off the route of the Japanese army in other places to reinforce the 458 heights. Moreover, occupying this commanding height can overlook the entire Honey Mountain fortress group, which can bring great convenience to subsequent operations.
Wu Ruofu, who understands that time is life on the battlefield, knows that there will not be too much time left for him to hesitate. Looking back at the 458 heights that were in the midst of fierce battles, and gritting his teeth, Wu Ruofu still made up his mind to hit the camel to seize the commanding heights, cut off the Japanese reinforcement routes, and seize the commanding heights.
Because the 458 Heights in the fierce battle attracted most of the attention of the Japanese army, they could not take cover alternately along the ridge between the 458 Heights and the Camel Peak to the Camel Peak, with the help of the two mountains forcibly interspersed with the help of the roundabout troops led by Wu Ruofu. In order to prevent the Japanese army from radio listening, Wu Ruofu ordered all walkie-talkies to be turned off.
Although the Japanese troops in the past, who were attracted by the 458 Heights, did not intersperse the troops, Wu Ruofu's actions were still very cautious. He led the roundabout troops cautiously along the ridge between the two mountains into an attacking formation, using the cover of vegetation to carefully march towards the line of the camel peak. Because he did not believe that the Japanese did not build a cover fortification on this ridge, which was extremely important.
The caution after penetrating into the depth of the Japanese army's honey mountain, coupled with the caution during the detour and Wu Ruofu's brief hesitation, made the direction of the camel peak not start according to the predetermined plan, which caused Du Kaishan's worry.
But there are two sides to the story. Wu Ruofu's caution and radio silence, although the superiors behind him did not know how he was progressing, but they also succeeded in attracting the main attention of the Japanese troops who were attracted by the frontal fierce battle on the 458 Heights, and did not even notice his own roundabout actions.
In fact, Wu Ruofu did not know that it was right to be cautious when using the dry river channel cut off by the Japanese army as a roundabout route to the 458 Heights. The 458 Heights served as the outpost of the entire Japanese Honey Mountain Fortress Group, and all works have been completed. In order to ensure the safety of the flank of the 458 Heights, a large number of bunker groups and firepower points were indeed deployed on the circuitous route chosen by Wu Ruofu.
It's just that when Wu Ruofu was interspersed in a roundabout way, the fortifications inside the 458 highlands that controlled and used these bunkers had been cut off by the troops who rushed into the interior of the Japanese tunnels, and these bunkers had become the ears of the deaf. But on the ridge from the 458 Heights to the Camel Peak, the Japanese army really did not have time to build cover fortifications.
It was the last and smallest of the first batch of so-called eastern border fortresses built by the Japanese army, and the latest to complete the first phase of the project. The Honey Mountain to Miaoling Fortress Group, which only completed the general construction last winter, only completed the main project. That is, the fortifications of the 458 heights facing the Manchu-Soviet border, as well as the artillery positions and sorties from the Camel Peak to the Miaoling.
As for the flank positions and the cover fortifications on various communication points, because of the great changes in the object of battle, the Soviet army has now turned to the Anti-Japanese Union, and the design is being adjusted before it can be built. The underpass between the 458 Heights and the Camel Peak and most of the ancillary facilities, such as electrical equipment, water storage and heating, have been completed, but the rest of the supporting facilities have not yet been built.
The reason for this is not only that the fortress group from Miaoling to Honey Mountain was built the latest, but also the latest. Moreover, since the autumn campaign, the changes within the Kwantung Army and the Tokyo base camp have caused considerable differences of opinion on whether to change the original strategic deployment, and the second phase of the project, which was originally planned to start construction in the spring of this year, has temporarily come to a halt.
The Kwantung Army believed that the top priority at the moment was to shift its priority financial and material resources to the suppression of the growing resistance alliance. In order to ensure this premise, it is necessary to improve the function of the fortress groups in the eastern Manchurian region from Hunchun to Hulin, in addition to the fortress groups in Manchuria and Hailar in the west and Heihe. In other words, these fortress groups not only had to deal with the Soviet army facing each other across the river, but also had to guard against the increasingly large anti-Japanese alliance in the North Manchurian region.
However, the Tokyo base camp always believed that the biggest enemy of the Kwantung Army in Manchuria at the moment, and the main opponent of the subsequent strategic objectives of the empire, was the Soviet army, which was huge and had a large number of modern equipment. Instead of being nothing more than a straggler anti-union in their impression.
Due to the disagreement on the overall strategic deployment, not only the Japanese fortress group in Honeyshan, but also all the follow-up projects of the fortress group on the entire East Manchurian border starting from the Wujiazi fortress in Hunchun and ending in the Hulin fortress were stopped for a long time, except for the half-cut river fortress.
Of course, the differences between the two sides are only a change in the object of combat in the coming period, and the ultimate goal has not changed, or to lock their opponent into the Soviet army. As for the threat brought about by the birth of Yang Zhen's department, whether it is in the eyes of General Umezu Mijiro or the 6th Military Province of the Japanese Army, although it cannot be said that it is only irrelevant to the overall situation, it is far from the point of becoming a major problem for the henchmen.
However, under the situation that the pressure of resistance to the United Nations was increasing, and the Hulin Fortress, Miaoling Fortress, Banjiehe Fortress and Dongning Fortress Group in the East Manchurian region were already within the attack range of Yang Zhen's department, the Kwantung Army insisted on making an adjustment to the second phase of these fortresses.
In other words, the Kwantung Army believed that the combat objectives of these fortress groups should not only be the Soviet troops in front of them, but also the anti-coalition forces behind them. And if some adjustments are made to the functions of the fortress groups that have basically been completed and spread over the entire East Manchurian border, it means that the entire fortress group planning needs to be re-implemented, and major changes will be made in many places.
It also means that the cost needs to rise significantly. However, this qiē is precisely what the 6th Army, which is currently rapidly expanding its military structure and is already under considerable pressure, can hardly accept it. Moreover, in addition to the funds, the 6th Army's modification of the function of the fortress caused by the delay in the construction period is unacceptable.
