Look at the starry sky. 【. It was the first time since the crossing that Yang Zhen had encountered such a thorny problem in his heart, what should he do, in order to choose the lesser of two interests. And the sound of gunfire from time to time in the southwest of Baoqing County seemed to urge him to make up his mind. Yang Zhen, who has always been decisive in killing, hesitated at this time.
Just when Yang Zhen was still hesitating about what to do next, his train of thought was interrupted by the sudden sound of dense gunfire in Beiguan and Dongguan. Hearing the sound of gunfire in Beiguan and Dongguan, Yang Zhen did not feel surprised. The main forces of the 44th Wing have all arrived, and they will not attack from only one direction.
Dongguan and Beiguan were the main defensive positions of Baoqing County in the northeast direction, and the Japanese army could directly reach the foot of the city wall when they broke through there. As long as the 44th Wing has sufficient strength, it will not give up choosing these two places as breakthrough points. The gunfire over there should have been the 44th Wing looking for another breakthrough.
Yang Zhen's guess was not wrong, just as he was about to turn around and call to inquire. An operational staff officer who came with Yang Zhen to report hurriedly ran over, and when he saw Yang Zhen, he hurriedly saluted: "No. 1, when Director Peng was inspecting the defense in Dongguan, he encountered the Japanese army, and now he is fighting fiercely with the Japanese army on the front line of Dongguan. In addition, Director Peng reported that Beiguan had been lost, and he was gathering troops to prepare to recapture Beiguan. ”
Beiguan lost? And so fast? After hearing the staff report, Yang Zhen was slightly stunned. A main support point with fortifications to rely on, but it was lost at the beginning of the battle? There's definitely some reason for that. Otherwise, although it is lonely, the distance from the county seat is farther than that of Dongguan. But there is a Luoli River that can be used as a natural barrier for Beiguan, how can it be lost so quickly.
Yang Zhen walked to the phone in a few steps, picked up the phone and went directly to Peng Shilu and said, "You immediately find out for me how Beiguan was lost." There is also an unknown enemy, so don't fight back yet. You immediately shrink your forces, hold on to Dongguan with all your might, and block the Japanese attack route from Beiguan to the county town with firepower. The most important thing is that you should immediately find out to me which part of the Japanese army is attacking you. ”
Peng Shilu over there said: "No. 1, don't check." The company commander who was stuck in Beiguan was paralyzed and careless and neglected to be vigilant. At all, they did not set up a warning position in accordance with the requirements, and they could not be prevented from being attacked by the Japanese army. After the position was defeated by the Japanese army, they panicked and took the lead in fleeing. I've already detained this person, and I'm about to ask you what to do with it. ”
Regarding Peng Shilu's request, Yang Zhen didn't think about it: "What do you ask, according to the provisions of the military law, the company commander who took the lead in escaping will be shot on the spot, and the instructor will be dismissed." This company was abolished, and the rest of the personnel were dispersed into two companies responsible for the defense of Dongguan. ”
"You have to be mentally prepared. The barrier of Beiguan was lost, and the Japanese army would attack Dongguan with all its strength in the next step. And Dongguan is the right-wing guarantee of the letter and the backer. Once Dongguan is lost, the front line of Jiaxinzi is in danger of being attacked by the enemy. You remember, Dongguan is here, and the outer positions are there. Dongguan is lost, and the entire Baoqing perimeter position will be shaken on the whole line. ”
"Dongguan is different from Beiguan, he is a whole defense with Jiaxinzi and backers. It is extremely important for the letter and the backer to persevere. Before receiving the order to retreat, Dongguan must not be lost. Don't return to the headquarters first, just sit in Dongguan and do your best to ensure the safety of Dongguan. ”
Hearing Yang Zhen's order, Peng Shilu said without hesitation: "No. 1, please rest assured." Before receiving the order to retreat from the headquarters, I must follow the order to defend Dongguan and make every effort to ensure the safety of the flanks of the front line of Jiaxinzi and the backer. Even if it is fought to the last soldier, it will not hesitate. ”
Putting down the phone in his hand, Yang Zhen turned his gaze to the city wall. The speed with which Beiguan was lost was really a bit unexpected for him. But Dongguan, which is more important than Beiguan, is still in his hands, which makes him feel more at ease. As long as Dongguan is guarded, the most important support points on the periphery of Baoqing are in hand.
As for the Japanese army, no matter which direction the Japanese army attacking Beiguan and Dongguan came from, as long as they wanted to seize Baoqing County, the next step would definitely be to attack Dongguan with all their might. Only by taking Dongguan can they completely crush the resistance on the periphery.
Yang Zhen was not wrong in what he expected, and there was almost no pause since the sound sounded from the direction of Dongguan, and even the increasingly dense gunfire proved it. Listening to the dense artillery sound in the direction of Dongguan, it was almost impossible to hear the explosion point, and there was also the sound of seventy-five-millimeter field artillery among them, which made Yang Zhen's brows furrow slightly.
Judging by the sound of artillery, the Japanese artillery in the direction of Dongguan was at least about two artillery squadrons. Although there was no large-caliber heavy artillery, the mountain artillery was complete. From the 92nd infantry artillery and 37th shooting artillery of the brigade, to the mountain artillery of the 75-mm wing, and the 75-mm field artillery of the division. Among them were no less than one hundred and fifty-mm Japanese heavy mortars of the squadron.
Judging from the sound of artillery and the explosion point of the shells, the intensity and intensity of the shelling of the Japanese troops in Dongguan were much stronger than those of the clamping letters, which had obviously been strengthened. Judging from the battle situation reported by the front line of Jiaxinzi, after the arrival of Japanese reinforcements, the Japanese army over there only added two mountain guns and four Type 92 infantry guns. Its firepower is dense and intense, and it cannot be compared with the Japanese army in Dongguan at all. Could it be that the Japanese army attacking Dongguan was the main force of the 11th Division of the Japanese Army?
With his eyes closed, he was silent for a long time listening to the sound of cannons coming from the front line of Dongguan and Jiaxinzi. Yang Zhen still picked up the phone to call Peng Shilu, who was commanding in Dongguan, and said, "How is the situation over there?" Check out the formation of these Japanese troops? ”
Peng Shilu's answer on the other side of the phone was difficult to hear clearly under the interference of the dense gunfire. It took a lot of effort for Yang Zhen to hear the answer clearly: "No. 1, as soon as the Japanese army came up, they attacked in turn with the squadron as a formation. Its artillery has three squadrons of mountain artillery alone, of which there is at least one squadron of field artillery. ”
"Judging from the Japanese offensive and the intensity of the artillery fire, it is very determined to take Baoqing County in a short period of time. In just half an hour, the Japanese had already fired seven or eight hundred shells at our positions. Most of our forward fortifications were destroyed by Japanese artillery fire. The fighters could only resist on the ruins, and suffered heavy casualties. However, Dongguan is still in our hands, and the Japanese army has not yet been able to break through the forward defense of our army. ”
"Judging from the items and materials on the body of a second lieutenant officer of the Japanese army who died in the front line of our army, the identity of this Japanese army has been ascertained, and it is the main force of the 44th Wing. However, judging from the offensive strength of the Japanese army, this first brigade was strengthened by at least one squadron. I am now organizing my troops to capture the wounded Japanese soldiers as best they can, so that we can determine the true identity of the Japanese soldiers. ”
Hearing Peng Shilu's report, Yang Zhen was silent for a moment and said, "You have to pay attention to the anti-artillery, and you must not shrink the troops together." Try to engage in close combat with the Japanese in order to weaken the Japanese artillery superiority. And you must pay attention to the direction of your flank, the Japanese army failed to attack in a frontal way, and it will definitely turn to your flank. ”
After the Japanese 44th Wing launched an offensive against Baoqing, the battle situation in Baoqing, which had almost become the center of the entire battlefield, changed almost ever-changing. The speed of its transformation made Yang Zhen, who had always reacted quite quickly on the battlefield, feel a little caught off guard.
Just as Yang Zhen had just finished the call with Peng Shilu, and before he could put down the phone in his hand, a communications staff officer ran over and handed a telegram to Yang Zhen and said: "No. 1, Commander Liu is calling, they are in the southeast of Jinshagang from Jubao to Qingyuan, and the first line of the southwest coast of the Third Ring Road. It had at least one wing or more in force and carried a large number of artillery and cavalry. ”
"This Japanese army that appeared north of Baoqing County not only cut off their 6th route connection with Baoqing County with a force. At 11 o'clock, a large group of troops, under the cover of artillery, launched a tentative attack on the Jinshagang line. ”
Hearing this staff officer's report, Yang Zhen walked to the map in a few steps and looked at the Japanese army posture that had been marked by Liu Changshun, who had been marked by the combat staff officer. After carefully checking for a long time, Yang Zhen turned his head and said to a staff officer beside him: "Go and find Chief of Staff Xia Boxun immediately, and report to the Chief of Staff, and ask him to urge Ma Qichang to speed up the march." Ma Qichang was ordered to arrive at the north bank of the Qixing River before noon tomorrow. ”
When Xia Boxun, who was hurriedly found by the staff officer, arrived, Yang Zhen didn't talk nonsense, and said straight to the point: "You immediately send a telegram to Yuan Bin, so that the aviation troops can prepare for tomorrow morning and take a comprehensive bombardment of the Japanese army on the line from Qingyuan to Jinshagang." Let him see it, don't blow up indiscriminately. Our troops are not yet trained in ground-air coordination, so you must be careful when you move. ”
After hearing the task explained by Yang Zhen, Xia Boxun was a little excited about the combat mission he had finally fought for, and hurriedly said: "No. 1, please rest assured, I left two air liaison officers and a high-power radio station with Commander Liu before arriving in Baoqing County. We will definitely ensure that all the bombs will be dropped on the Japanese troops, and we will never let our own fighters fall under the bombs of our own people. ”
Yang Zhen looked at Xia Boxun, who had a confident face, waved his hand and said, "Don't be in a hurry to promise now, let's talk about it after looking at your watch." This is the first time that your air force has officially participated in the war, and whether or not we can show the demeanor of our own air force depends on your performance this time. Your task is simple, to weaken the Japanese army's combat capability, especially offensive capability, from the air as much as possible. It is located in the Sanjiang Plain, which can maximize the power of your air force. ”
"However, care must be taken not to over-fatigue the pilot. Those of you who are commanders must grasp the rhythm of the battle and not bring unnecessary non-combat casualties because you are in a hurry to show your performance. The growth of the aviation force depends on the accumulation of little by little on weekdays, and it cannot be achieved overnight. ”
After that, Yang Zhen pointed to the map and said: "This is the general situation and distribution of the main force of the 11th Division that Liu Changshun just came, you go back immediately to draw up a battle plan, and start acting early tomorrow morning." At the same time, you'll need to be prepared to adjust your deployment at any time. Because the Japanese army did not stand still, they would adjust their deployment at any time according to the changes in shape. ”
After Xia Boxun left, Yang Zhen turned his head and looked at the main force of the 11th Division on the map, but he was slightly relieved in his heart. It seems that this Ushijima Man still can't get rid of the vanity that Japanese generals are accustomed to, and the goal of the 11th Division is still set at Jiamusi.
