Guo Bingxun built yƬ Yang Zhen. ć. In any case, before 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, at least one regiment of reinforcements must be mobilized for Tao Jingfei. Otherwise, according to the current casualty rate of almost one battalion an hour in his place, if he could not get reinforcements, Tao Jingfei would not be able to hold out for twenty-four hours at all. Moreover, at this time, Tao Jingfei's last line of defense was less than fifty kilometers away from Du Kaishan's straight line.
Look at the area on the map where the 8th Division has arrived, and its current offensive route. It was hard for Yang Zhen to imagine how they managed to transport these two bulky shells, which weighed nearly four tons and weighed one hundred and fifty-four kilograms, here.
As for these two cannons, Yang Zhen could also think of where they came from with his eyes closed. It should not be absolutely transferred from the Hulin Fortress, which is not far from the Baoqing battlefield and is equipped with a large number of complete types of heavy artillery equipment for the purpose of the so-called war against the Soviet Union and cutting off the communication lines of the Soviet army on the east bank of the Ussuri River.
In order to cut off the Ussuri Railway, the lifeline of the Soviet army on the east bank of the Ussuri River, it was equipped with the most powerful Type 96 240 mm heavy howitzer that the Japanese army could manufacture, the Meiji 45 Type 240 mm heavy howitzer, and the Type 90 240 mm heavy cannon with a range of up to 50 kilometers and the Type 96 150 mm heavy cannon with a range of 26 km in order to strike at important targets of the Soviet army on the east bank of the Ussuri River in wartime.
Calling out two heavy guns is definitely not a difficult task, and it can even be said that it is a breeze. Two 240-mm howitzers, plus eight **-type 150-mm cannons. With only ten heavy guns, he actually brought himself such a big trouble. If their own aviation has been trained and can participate in the war, these bulky guys, where will they still be so rampant?
It's just that the emotion is emotional, but there is a problem that has to be solved. At least Tao Jingfei's reinforcements must be sent. And not only to send, but also to send as quickly as possible. Because Yang Zhen still knows Tao Jingfei very well, he knows that he will not complain until he is exhausted. If he complains, it means that the severity of the situation is far beyond his imagination.
After careful consideration, Yang Zhen personally drafted an urgent telegram to Zhang Zhenhua and Liu Changshun respectively. He ordered Liu Changshun to prepare two regiments within four hours, no matter what difficulties he encountered, and immediately transport all the two regiments south and transfer them to Tao Jingfei's command. At the same time, Zhang Zhenhua was ordered to immediately transfer all the first automobile regiments of the military district logistics department to Fujin and prepare to transport troops south.
It was originally formed by the Production and Construction Corps, and it was supposed to be a reserve force that had been mobilized and organized before the war. However, because of spring ploughing, the work of organizing the organization had to be delayed for half a month, and the final organization had not yet been completed until the campaign was fully launched.
At present, the reserve forces, which are rushing to replenish their equipment and cadres, will need at least two more days to complete the conversion process. But at this juncture, Yang Zhen can't take these things into account, and the battle situation on the front line is more important than anything else.
Once Tao Jingfei can't hold on and can't stop the Eighth Division and its subordinate troops, and let the Eighth Division and the Tenth Division converge, then the entire Eastern Front will be completely eroded. Not to mention that the initiative that has been gained will be completely lost, and the troops commanded by Du Kaishan will also be severely damaged or even encircled by the Japanese army.
Originally, Yang Zhen thought that it would be very smooth to mobilize the production and construction corps to prepare a reserve before the war, but he did not expect to encounter a lot of difficulties. The first difficulty is the scheduled assembly time, which coincides with the spring ploughing. Once a large number of young laborers are transferred away directly affect the production of spring ploughing.
Spring ploughing has a direct bearing on the grain problem in the base areas in the last autumn, and it is a major matter for more than 100,000 troops and millions of people to eat. When it comes to this key issue, no matter how anxious Yang Zhen is, he can only give way. After waiting for the spring ploughing to be completed, the troops will be assembled. This delay is half a month.
At present, the equipment of all departments of the Production and Construction Corps is actually sufficient. Each battalion-level brigade has an arsenal of Italian rifles, French light and heavy machine guns, and Japanese 81-millimeter mortars. Taking advantage of last year's winter leisure time, the personnel of appropriate age have also completed basic individual training and tactical training below the company level.
It is only a detachment with a regimental structure, lacking anti-aircraft machine guns, infantry guns and anti-tank guns in the regimental establishment of field troops. In addition, all communication tools are still equipped with five-watt receivers that have been eliminated by the field army, and are not equipped with two-watt walkie-talkies like the field army. Even the five-watt receiver is only equipped at the battalion level.
As non-field fully trained troops, these people had to undertake a large amount of sowing work on the wasteland that had already been reclaimed. It has not yet had time to complete air defense and anti-tank training. If we assemble in advance, the farmland that has already been reclaimed will not be able to be sown due to a lack of manpower.
Even if Yang Zhen, who had already smelled the strong smell of war at that time, was in a hurry, he didn't dare to stop spring ploughing, and mobilized all these people in advance, so he could only wait patiently. By the time the spring ploughing was completed, it would be less than half a month before the battle broke out.
At present, although this group of people has completed the formation, because it will take time to replenish the newly replenished equipment, and it will take a while to master it, they will not be able to enter the battle at present.
The replenishment of equipment is mainly to replenish it with communications equipment and a small number of anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-tank rocket launchers. As for the anti-tank guns, because of the insufficient reserves, a regiment could only be equipped with four first. At present, these units are conducting training in the areas of Fujin and Luobei to familiarize themselves with the operation of these weapons and complete the final synthesis training.
Originally, Yang Zhen didn't plan to put it into battle now. Before the battle broke out, Yang Zhen gave Liu Changshun an extra seven days for the final training. But they didn't expect that they would go to the battlefield in advance on the fourth day of the full start of the battle. Although this seemed cruel, Yang Zhen had no choice.
After reporting to the two people, Yang Zhen pondered for a while, and after carefully taking a closer look at the surrounding situation of Tao Jingfei and Du Kaishan on the map, he picked up the phone and asked to call Ma Qichang, deputy commander of the artillery of the military region, who was commanding on the front line, and Du Kaishan, who was in Lanbang Mountain. Ma Qichang was ordered to immediately transfer the two ** Type 150 cannons with the longest range in the whole military region to Tao Jingfei.
He also transferred a battalion of the 122 Rocket Artillery Regiment of the Military Region, which was originally assigned to Du Kaishan, under the personal command of Ma Qichang, and at any cost, it was imperative to destroy the two 240-millimeter heavy howitzers and eight 150 cannons that the Japanese army posed the greatest threat to Tao Jingfei, so as to relieve the pressure on Tao Jingfei's side.
After putting down the phone in his hand, Yang Zhen turned his gaze to the map in front of him again. I kept thinking in my heart: "Even if these artillerymen are transferred now, it will be dawn when they arrive." And even if the reinforcements come out now, when they arrive at the junction of Baoqing and Mishan, I am afraid it will take half a day. Judging from the current firepower and strength of the Japanese army, it is difficult for Tao Jingfei to hold the existing position. ā
Yang Zhen carefully checked Du Kaishan's previous battle report, and measured almost millimeter by millimeter on the map, one kilometer and one kilometer, and then picked up the specially set up long-distance field telephone to call Guo Bingxun, who was currently sitting at the headquarters of the Fourth Division of Baoqing County: "Old Guo, I don't think Tao Jingfei will accept it backwards?" If he continues to fight like this, no matter how many reinforcements Tao Jingfei has sent there, he will not be satisfied. ā
"Rather than being consumed in the Japanese artillery fire so in vain, I wonder if they should be allowed to shrink the defensive line one by one. The main force will gradually withdraw westward to the line of the Jinsha River. With the two natural villages of Gushan and Futun as the core, the defense line was reconstructed. Relying on the terrain there, take a gradual blockade. And lengthen the offensive lines of the Japanese army, dispersing their forces. ā
"Du Kaishan has already encircled the remnants of the 10th Division in an area with a radius of less than three square kilometers centered on Qiliga Mountain." Judging from the current situation, if nothing else, they will be able to dispose of all the Japanese troops encircled by the 10th Division by noon tomorrow at the latest. ā
"I mean that after the battle is over on Du Kaishan's side, I won't take any rest. Immediately turn around and go eastward, and go all out eastward from the Qiliga Mountain. Since the 8th Division has all been dispatched, and even the 11th Division has already come over to join in the fun, we are all sorry for the deployment of Umezu Mijiro and Habata Shigeichi if we don't take advantage of the emptiness of the Japanese army's rear troops to make some fun. ā
"I want to use Du Kaishan's headquarters to forcibly intersperse in the southeast direction and take Mishan County directly. Cut off the connection between the enemy at Baoqing, Mishan, and Hulin and the 29th Division of the Japanese Army at Muling, and attack the 8th Division from the flank. It would be best if the connection between the 8th Division and the 11th Division could be severed. ā
At the same time, the nine regiments of the reserve corps organized in the second phase of the production and construction corps were organized into three ** brigades, which were commanded by Liu Changshun. It is attached to the 1st and 3rd Reserve Artillery Regiment and the Armored Brigade of the Military Region, and the 3rd Engineer Regiment directly under the Military Region to form a reserve column. Secretly deployed at the junction of the Tongjiang River and the Rao River. If the 11th Division, which was deployed on the line from Hulin to Mishan, went all out to reinforce the Eighth Division, they would go all out along the so-called Puppet Manchurian National Defense Highway from Rao River to Hulin. ā
"In order to ensure the security of the Manchu-Soviet border, the Kwantung Army built a large number of so-called defense roads west of the Ussuri River. If the 11th Division moves westward with all its might, it will give us an opportunity to take advantage of. After the reserve front army captured Wulindong, an important town in the south of Raohe, it advanced to the flank of the 11th Division. Strive to encircle the 8th and 11th divisions of the Japanese army in Hulin and Mishan in one go. ā
"Now that we have fought like this, there is no need for our strength to continue to hide. My idea is that since we have already fought, then we will fight to the end. In one go, we will strive to completely solve the problem of East Manchuria. Come him an earth-shattering one. ā
"I think that according to the current production and construction corps, it is not difficult to mobilize another ten regiments to go south to participate in the war. If we do our best, it will not be impossible to achieve this strategic vision. If we win, we can greatly expand our space. Defeated, it's a big deal to retreat north of the Songhua River. ā
