391. Be prepared to find trouble
The Mounted Artillery Wing of the 4th Brigade of the Little Devil Independent Cavalry now has a Type 94 75mm Mountain Artillery Brigade, a Meiji 41-Year 75mm Cavalry Field Artillery Brigade, and a Machine Gun Brigade. The total strength is more than 2,600 people.
The 94-type 75mm mountain gun, which is the latest research result of the little devil, is very light in weight, easy to disassemble and transport, and the firing range of 8300 meters is not low, and the design is very successful. It is mainly equipped with mountain artillery units and independent mountain artillery wings of field brigades and field divisions for mountain or other complex terrain operations. A brigade is equipped with 12 guns.
The Meiji 41-year 75mm cavalry field gun with a range of 8,350 meters was mainly used for suppressive firing. Equipped with a horse cavalry wing, a mecha cavalry unit and a motorized infantry wing, the accuracy and range performance are similar to those of the Type 38 75mm field gun, but the weight is lighter, only 900 kg, and the two horses drag it and run fast! One mounted artillery brigade was armed with 12 guns.
In terms of heavy firepower and firepower density, this mounted artillery wing of the 4th Independent Cavalry Brigade can definitely be regarded as the absolute top main force of the little devils.
Because their main defense object, that is, the Soviet Russian Red Army in the north, did not take Jiang's gang of family members in their eyes at all! If it weren't for Bai Shujie's sudden appearance and sideways insertion, Shiro Inaba would definitely continue to sleep in Baichengzi, and he would not be awakened until the polar bear revealed its strong body.
But now the situation has changed, as soon as Shiro Inaba's cavalry artillery wing moves, Bai Shujie suddenly gets into trouble. Because his fortresses are all of the entrenched type, they are all equipped with 105mm and 150mm field cannons. Although the firing range exceeded that of this mounted artillery wing, it was not equipped with large-caliber howitzers, so it was necessary to have mobile units to cooperate between attack and defense.
There is also a line of Kulun Banner on the east side of Chifeng, which is already a sharp knife inserted between Fuxin and Chifeng. Bai Shujie's original intention was to prepare to take the Kulun Banner and make up for the shortcomings of the defense line between Fuxin and Chifeng. Now the two cavalry brigades here are standing still, and there is also an infantry brigade of the two Korean devils in Zhangwu, which adds up to more than 3,000 enemies, so they can't be unguarded!
However, these places are just a distraction for Bai Shujie, and they have not yet reached the point of headaches. What really made Bai Shujie, Zhao Jinxi, and Gan Tong nerve-wracking was the Eighth Division of the Little Devils in Jinzhou!
In the offensive and defensive battles of the Great Wall, the losses of this Eighth Division were not too great, and the structure was also the most intact. The division commander, Kotaro Nakamura, is not a good thing, he is cunning and big!
This division has the 5th Infantry Wing: Major General Yu Rabbit Majestic Zuo; 17th Infantry Wing: Major General Fujishige; 31st Infantry Wing: Major General Kobayashijima Yamen; Search 8th Wing (Light Cavalry): Jiroku Mitoda; 8th Field Artillery Wing: Iwajiro Osa Segado; 8th Engineer Wing: Takedasa Ohara. It also includes a communications brigade and two field hospitals, with a total strength of 22,000 troops.
So far, only one mixed 33rd Brigade is active in the east of Jinxi County, and the Eighth Division has remained stationary. This vicious wolf lying on his stomach in the nest without moving, is where Bai Shujie and others are nerve-wracking.
Now counted, there are three places with strong troops, but there is no movement. One is the Kulun Banner and Zhangwu Line, the other is the Eighth Division of the Little Devils in Jinzhou, and the other is the Sixth Division hiding in Guisui in the west. And these three bunches of little devils, they are all extremely hard bones, and few people can gnaw on them!
Bai Shujie had been staring at the map for a whole day, and finally asked, "To what extent has Cheng Shijie's Second Garrison Division been formed now?" ”
Gan Tong shook his head and said: "Time is too tight, for the time being, a cavalry regiment, an infantry regiment, an air defense regiment have been pieced together, and the artillery regiment is still being reorganized in Sanxian Cave." At present, a battalion of a cavalry regiment and a battalion of an infantry regiment are stationed in the Keshiketeng Banner, where they are training while defending. The rest of the troops were concentrated in the Wengniute Banner for training. ”
"We're out of time!" Bai Shujie slammed his fist on the combat map: "Order Cheng Shijie to immediately transfer a cavalry battalion, an infantry battalion, and an air defense battalion to take over all the fortresses of Hou Zide's Ninth Regiment and vacate the Ninth Regiment for me!" Only Hou Zide can block the little devil's cavalry artillery wing. ”
"Jin Xi, immediately send a telegram to Xia Enze: Guan Xingguo's cavalry battalion must continue to hide on the front line of Daqinggou and closely monitor the changes in the enemy situation in Zhangwu and Tongliao. If you don't have a critical moment, you must not be easily dispatched! The armored infantry battalion of the 1st Regiment of Qi Hongyi of the Guards Division was ordered to immediately rush to the camp of Xiaohu and accept the command of Zhang Xiang to meet the attack of the enemy in Montenegro. ”
"Order the 12th Regiment of Lan Caiqin's 3rd Division to stick to it, don't attack without authorization, as long as you block Tada Jun within the Great Wall, it will be a victory! The 10th Regiment of the 3rd Division should closely monitor the movements of the 33rd Brigade and the 8th Division of Jinzhou, and once the 8th Division is dispatched, the whole line will rely on the fortifications for defense. ”
"Order Yang Mantun's inspection team to return to Chengde immediately and strengthen the internal guards of Chengde. The main task of the independent militia division is to rely on the fortifications to block the access in the direction of Gubeikou and Huangyaguan, and at the same time pay close attention to the movements of the Northwest Army on the front line of Fengning and Chicheng. As soon as the Northwest Army retreats, occupy it immediately! ”
"Order the 75mm field artillery battalion of the Second Artillery to immediately enter Luanping County, under the unified command of Chen Junda and Shao Jianzhang, to prevent a sudden attack by the 6th Division of Guisui and prepare to seize Fengning! In addition, inform the artillery battalion and armored heavy machine-gun battalion of our guard regiment to be combat-ready and ready to reinforce the western Duolun area. ”
Zhao Jinxi looked at the combat map and said: "In this way, you will have the second and third regiments of the Guards Division left in your hands, which are also all our reserves." ”
"That can't be helped!" Bai Shujie's expression was grim: "If all the enemies on the seven sides pounce on it, the total strength will exceed 70,000 people." The key is that the 29th Army of the Northwest Army on the Fengning and Chicheng fronts in the southwest is unreliable, otherwise, I can draw a regiment out of the militia division, so that the entire western region will have a strategic reserve. I hope Song Zheyuan won't let me down, otherwise, Lao Tzu will not give up with him in the future! ”
"You are ready to seize Fengning and Chicheng, which means that you don't believe Song Zheyuan at all in your heart!" Zhao Jinxi also felt that the situation was serious: "If Song Zheyuan gives up the front line of Zhangjiakou, we will be completely face-to-face with the Sixth Division of Guisui!" Didn't you say that General Zhang Zizhong had a very tough attitude? Could it be that Song Zheyuan will really give up Zhangjiakou? ”
Bai Shujie shook his head: "A General Zhang Zizhong is useless!" The southern government has decided to withdraw the 29th Army from Zhangjiakou, and General Zhang Zizhong is not in charge. Although on the surface, the Northwest Army still maintains law and order, but the sixth division of the little devil can freely enter and exit Zhangjiakou, which is what worries me! ”
A series of defensive orders were issued, and Bai Shujie and Zhao Jinxi were reluctantly relieved. Originally, I wanted to hit the enemy by surprise, but I didn't expect the little devil to strike first! Lan Caiqin's counterattack is just an appetizer before the big meal!
The little devil basically mobilized all the mobile forces around Rehe Province and launched an attack almost at the same time, which Bai Shujie did not expect. Because I was caught off guard, two days of chaos in a row were inevitable.
However, with Bai Shujie's several orders, the entire Rehe Front finally began to operate in an orderly manner, ready for a bigger storm!
Only by temporarily stabilizing the battle line and not disrupting the battle everywhere can Rehe have a glimmer of life. Bai Shujie barely completed the first step, and the rest is the execution of each unit.
For this, Bai Shujie has never been worried. Whether it is Zhang Xiang of Fuxin, Hou Zide of Chifeng, Lan Caiqin of Lingyuan, Han Qingfen of Duolun, Chen Junda and Shao Jianzhang of Luanping, and the Second Garrison Division of Cheng Shijie, which has just been formed, there is nothing to worry about. Guards Yang Zhaodi and Xia Enze, not to mention.
Gan Tong's main task is to make the garrison headquarters run at full capacity: the 14th Regiment of Zhanjin State is stationed in Chengde City, the 15th Regiment of Xiang Qichang is stationed in Chifeng, and the 16th Regiment of Duolun Zhu Youpeng is nominally a garrison, but in fact it is a Praetorian Guard in Gan Tong's hands. It is also the fundamental guarantee that Bai Shujie and Zhao Jinxi are not worried about the internal security of Rehe.
In addition, Sheng Zhiguo, director of the Public Security Department, also has three regiments of armed police units under his command, an inspection unit of one regiment in Yang Mantun, and two special operations teams of more than 6,000 people under Yang Erya specializing in underground activities.
Being beaten passively has never been the character of Bai Shujie and Zhao Jinxi. After scrutinizing all the troops, Bai Shujie's attention finally turned, and his eyes first focused on the Tangshan-Tianjin line.
"Tada, you old bastard! Dare to take the initiative to find trouble with Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu sees that you are living too freely! Bai Shujie's red and blue pencils kept wandering around the map, and he kept scolding and scolding: "If Lao Tzu doesn't find you something to do, you'll be fucking idle, aren't you?" ”
It turned out that Yang Erya once sent news that because Lan Caiqin had cut off the Western Liaoning Corridor, there was no way to transport a large number of resources and materials looted by Tada Jun and Tu Feiyuan Kenji in North China by rail, so a sea transportation line was established at the Dagu mouth of Qinhuangdao and Tanggu.
Bai Shujie basically found the target on the map, so he shouted to the outside world: "Lamei, please ask Political Commissar Zhao Meiyan to come over from the provincial government, there is something important to discuss!" ”
Zhao Meiyan rushed over when she received the call, and as soon as she dismounted at the door, she asked loudly: "The commander-in-chief is looking for me?" ”
"Come on in!" Bai Shujie didn't move, still staring at the map: "Miss Zhao, how is your independent regiment now?" ”
"In the past half a year, the number of people has been replenished, and the whole group is 2,512 people." As soon as Zhao Meiyan heard about her independent regiment, her eyebrows immediately fluttered: "Commander Wei Chong specially sent a company to be responsible for training, and it is said that it has reached the standard of basic formation and has the initial combat effectiveness that Commander Wei Chong said. Moreover, Commander Wei Chong has all the equipment according to his own independent regiment, and he can participate in the battle at any time! ”
Bai Shujie smiled and listened, then nodded and said: "Combat effectiveness is not spoken, but fought by the soldiers with real swords and guns!" So, I feel the need to pull this unit of yours out and put it to the test! ”
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
