417. Seek to capture the Kulen Banner
After Bai Shujie gave his Guards Division and Chen Jie's task force the order for a decisive battle, he always felt that it was not satisfactory enough. I had to ask Zhao Jinxi: "Sister, do you think I missed something?" ”
"From a tactical point of view, this surprise attack of yours would never have been imagined by the little devils, so it should be possible to achieve what you envisioned before: take the Kulen Banner." Zhao Jinxi picked up the baton and pointed to the map and said: "Hou Zide now has two regiments of more than 5,000 mobile troops in his hands, and if he can't play a role, the results will not be great." ”
"My point of view is that while the 6th Division has not yet arrived, I can order the two cavalry battalions of the 8th Regiment and the 9th Regiment of Hou Zide's headquarters to set out from the garrison tonight, stick to the Left Banner of Bahrain and insert it to the north, and launch an attack on Alu Korqin from the north at 12 o'clock tomorrow night to attack the 3rd Cavalry Brigade of the 26th Wing."
"Order Hou Zide to lead the two armored heavy machine gun battalions in the two regiments, go out covertly tonight, intersperse between the Sulm fortress and the Sandaogou fortress to conceal themselves, and launch a surprise attack on the cavalry artillery brigade in front of him at twelve o'clock tomorrow night."
"Two anti-aircraft battalions then followed, serving as strategic reserves. Although they did not have cavalry artillery, the twin anti-aircraft guns were enough to deal with 75mm field artillery. Because the little devil's field cannon doesn't work in close combat! If one of the little devils' cavalry artillery brigade can be taken down in this battle, Hou Zide's second division will be even more perfect in the future! ”
"In addition, Zhang Xiang's first division and Lan Caiqin's third division must be on guard. Once the little devils find out that we take the initiative, I am afraid that they will jump over the wall in a hurry, and if they don't do it well, they may fight to the death. Moreover, the warships of the little devils have not been functioning, who knows if they will give us a moment! ”
After listening to Zhao Jinxi's words, Bai Shujie had to admit that she was much more fierce than her own style. Once you make a move, you don't leave any room for it, and it's completely a tactic that kills the enemy!
According to Zhao Jinxi's thinking, that is, to use the strength of two divisions to defeat all the mobile forces of the 26th Wing of the 4th Brigade of the Little Devil Independent Cavalry! At the same time, knock out a brigade of the Infantry Artillery Wing!
However, Zhao Jinxi is right, Hou Zide's second division is idle, and it is unreasonable to say that it does not play a role. Since you want to move, let's make a big move and beat him on his back alone!
Bai Shujie secretly said in his heart: "No matter how the Sixth Division returns to the island through the Kailu line, if an irreversible change happens, there is no way to do it, do it!" ”
As a result, the supplementary combat order for Hou Zide's second division was immediately issued, and the front of the enemy and us, which had been stalemate for more than half a month, finally reached the juncture of a showdown.
It is said that after Chen Jie received Bai Shujie's order early in the morning, he hurriedly consulted with the three company commanders. After all, they are still in the secret camp in Donggou, and if they want to reach Zhangwu, they must insert it from the southwest of Fengtian City, and the straight-line distance is more than 150 kilometers. Seven bends and eight turns, at least 240 kilometers away.
In two days and one night, the rapid march was close to 500 miles, and it was necessary to immediately occupy the Zhangwu Railway Station, which was not ordinarily difficult. However, Chen Jie, as a deputy division commander, although he is not very old, still has a keen insight on the battlefield, and has a deeper understanding of the suddenness of the battle.
If the time drags on too long, the enemy will soon notice. And you'll be able to quickly deduce what exactly you're trying to do, and then take targeted measures to make you fall short!
Whoever treats the enemy as a fool is the biggest fool in the world!
Bai Shujie is bent on taking down the Kulun Banner, and this Chen Jie naturally knows. The battle to capture the Kulun banner began on the front line of Zhangwu and Tongliao, which is also a matter of course. Only by cutting off the enemy's reinforcement routes can the realization of the campaign objectives be guaranteed.
Li Bozhou, the commander of the first company, listened to Chen Jie's order to convey Bai Shujie, and said disappreciatively: "Deputy division commander, you don't need to do any mobilization. The so-called military order is like a mountain, even if we only have one person left, we must take the Zhangwu Railway Station on time! Since the commander-in-chief gave this order, he believed that we would be able to complete the task. You just give the order, don't mother-in-law! ”
Chen Jie looked at the three company commanders, nodded and said, "The first company commander is right, we don't have any conditions to talk about!" Now I order: three companies will be dispatched at half past seven tonight. Li Bozhou led the company to move directly to the destination at full speed, and the capture of Zhangwu Railway Station was the only purpose, and you don't have to worry about anything else. ”
Zheng Zhikuan led the second company as the right flank, monitoring the enemy in the direction of Mukden along the way. Once you find the little devil blocking it, stop the enemy at all costs and open the passage for the company! Ma Chongde led the third company as the left wing, responsible for monitoring the first line of Caiyun Villa and the retreating second devil wing, and the content of the order was the same as that of the second company! ”
"I followed a company, two kilometers apart between the three companies. Ma Chongde, after the meeting, you arranged for a group from the Third Company to go to the secret camp of Xiong Yuling in the back mountain, and let Zhuang Xingguo's advance team make some moves in Benxi and Fushun tonight, so as to plan for us to go north. ”
Zhuang Xingguo's special detachment is the "beggar anti-Japanese team" that has been helped by Bai Shujie. After Bai Shujie led the task force to leave, they continued to carry the signboard of "Pingdingshan Revenge Team", and continued to attack sporadically from Liaoyang and Benxi in the south to Fengtian and Fushun in the north, making the garrison of the little devils exhausted.
Because he had received Bai Shujie's surprise training, Zhuang Xingguo also talked to Bai Shujie about the art of war and strategy for two days and two nights. Therefore, this revenge team of more than 200 people has grown rapidly, and now there are 477 people.
The last time Chen Jie's task force destroyed the Hushitai barracks, in accordance with the principle of "take whatever you can take with you", the soldiers used the captured pack horses to bring back 6 Type 92 infantry guns, 12 Type 92 heavy machine guns, 19 70mm mortars, 39 crooked light machine guns, and 125 horses of various kinds.
Infantry artillery and heavy machine guns were inconvenient for rapid maneuvering, so Chen Jie had already handed them all over to Zhuang Xingguo, leaving 16 mortars and 30 crooked light machine guns.
In order to facilitate the development of firepower, Chen Jie organized more than 400 of them into an artillery company, a machine gun company, a cavalry company, and a guard platoon specially responsible for the defense of the secret camp. Guard platoon (83 people): 12 light machine guns, 6 heavy machine guns, 6 mortars.
Together with the weapons accumulated in the past, the machine gun company now has 6 heavy machine guns, 18 light machine guns, and 3 mortars. The infantry artillery company was the 6 infantry guns that were obtained this time, plus 6 mortars and 18 crooked machine guns. The cavalry company had 135 horses, 27 machine guns and 6 mortars.
After this increase in armament and assault training, Zhuang Xingguo's team, both in terms of firepower density and combat ability, has been able to compete with a garrison brigade of little devils.
At the beginning, Chen Jie always had two companies operating outside, just because a platoon was specially sent here to train them, which was also one of the purposes of Chen Jie's coming.
After asking Bai Shujie for approval, this unit has been officially incorporated into the Rehe Front Army and named the "Rehe Advance Team", which is at the battalion level. The 477-member Rehe advance team was reorganized as follows:
Captain: Zhuang Xingguo (handicapped, wheelchair), Deputy Captain: Xian Yu Tongwu, Wan Yiwen Guard Platoon (83 people): 12 light machine guns, 6 heavy machine guns, 6 mortar artillery companies (134 people): 6 infantry guns, 6 mortars, 18 light machine gun machine gun companies (122 people): 6 heavy machine guns, 18 light machine guns, 3 mortars Cavalry Company (135 people): 135 horses, 27 light machine guns, 6 mortars.
The Rehe advance team was under the direct command of the headquarters and was specifically responsible for guarding the Xiong Haling Secret Camp and the Donggou Secret Camp. For this reason, Chen Jie took out two small radio stations that were captured this time, arranged for two soldiers to join the advance team as liaisons, and at the same time was responsible for finding new operators for training.
This time, Chen Jie asked the Rehe advance team to send out a machine gun company and a cavalry company to carry out a short sortie on the Fengtian-Fushun line in the north and the Liaoyang-Benxi line in the south, disrupting the little devil's sight. Because the telegram was not clear, I sent someone to explain it carefully.
After having lunch in advance, Zheng Zhikuan, commander of the second company, and Ma Chongde, commander of the third company, took the lead in setting off according to the established plan and guarded Fengtian and Liaoyang respectively. An hour later, Chen Jie and Li Bozhou led a company to rush out of the Donggou secret camp. They don't care about other situations on the way, and their goal is the front line of Zhangwu.
Chen Jie: Because they were in a hurry, it was impossible for them to go over the mountains and mountains. Therefore, the three companies all took the main road and took the shortcut. In short, they go wherever it is most convenient to go. However, they swaggered through the market like this along the way, and there were no special circumstances.
On the one hand, this is because of the ranks of the Rehe Front, and the color of the military uniform is exactly the same as that of the little devil. No, it should be said that the military coats are exactly the same, and they were all captured little devils.
On the other hand, all three companies were cavalry. Even if the military uniform inside the coat has a badge, but galloping past on horseback, no one can tell whether this is the "imperial army" or not!
Besides, there is currently a war going on in the west, and as soon as the "imperial army" is dispatched, who will dare to stare at it? Don't you want to die? Even if there are some checkpoints, there are police officers and local garrisons inside. As soon as I saw that the cavalry of the Great Taijun was coming, and the mouth was full of "eight-grid tooth road", why don't you hurry up and give way, waiting for the war horse to trample to death?
Chen Jie and the others ran over, and there were many people talking about it: "Could it be that the war in the west is unfavorable, and these great princes urgently reinforce them?" Otherwise, why do you run so fast? ”
Just like that, he walked all the way through the town, and that night he had already arrived at the line of Lengzibao, which was more than 50 kilometers west of Fengtian City. Sixty kilometers west from here is Black Mountain County, opposite which is the Shentouling Fortress. When Bai Shujie was besieged by little devils here, he was ready to cross again!
Now it is more than 90 kilometers away from Zhangwu County, and it is not a place to stay for a long time. The troops must take a break and have to make a ride, otherwise tomorrow will be even more troublesome.
Chen Jie couldn't care so much, so he directly led the troops to rush to the market town, found the local maintenance chairman and started to lecture, and then ordered the maintenance chairman to hurry up to prepare dinner for the "Biedong team" and arrange a special person to serve the war horses! Whoever dares to be disobedient will be "dead, dead"!
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
