876. Interspersed actions
Starting from Chengjin to the east, the capture of Jizhou City in the east is the first key point. If Jizhou City can be taken in one go, the remaining area will be a narrow area with a width of only 65 kilometers, and the little devil's forces will no longer be able to exert it.
The safest way is to advance steadily, inch by inch, to press the little devil's activity space, so that they can only keep retreating. In the end, the only way to retreat was to retreat into Jilin through Zhang Gufeng, thus completely losing control of North Korea.
However, this battle cannot be fought like this!
Bai Shujie has strictly ordered: The little devils in North Korea must be solved on the spot, and they must not add trouble to the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation!
What should I do now? The width from north to south is only about 70 kilometers, and if the little devils are gathered together, they will still be able to choke with their lives.
Chen Jie felt that he could not speak clearly on the radio, so he rushed to the county seat of Daxing, that is, Wei Chong's former enemy headquarters, less than 30 kilometers from Jizhou City to the east.
"Wei Chong, the 2,400 men of the Third Fleet will arrive here tonight according to the boss's order. That said, we are now faced with two issues that need to be addressed. ”
When Chen Jie came to Wei Chong's headquarters, he went straight to the point: "The first problem is to close the gate and prevent the enemy from escaping. To solve this problem, it is necessary for a force to intersperse and jam the two places of Zhongcheng and Nanyang. ”
"The second question is to send the 2,400 men of the Third Fleet to the Gulf of Possiette, so that they can receive four warships and be able to sail into our sphere of influence as far as possible. Tell me, what do you think? ”
Wei Chong nodded, looked at the map again, and then said, "These two problems are actually one problem, and they can also be solved at the same time. The key is to have a strong combat force that can be interspersed. On the one hand, it covered the 2400 men of the Third Fleet, and on the other hand, it was to jam the enemy's escape routes. ”
"My opinion is this, now that my infantry regiment has come up, I can transfer the fist troops to you. That is, my machine gun regiment, plus your machine gun regiment, a total of more than 4,900 people, plus 2,400 people from the Third Fleet, all concentrated on the front line of Yunxing and Huishan on standby. ”
"Launch a fierce assault on the city of Jizhou from my side, draw all the attention of the enemy, and then let those men rush east along the Tumen River. Your armored regiment then followed, using the fastest movement to seize the Xinsui and Maoshan lines on the Tumen River, blocking the retreat of the 19th Division headquarters and two infantry wings on the front line of Ronan Fortress and Qingjin Port. ”
"Then call in the bombers to deliver the final blow to the enemy, and your mission is not to let go of a single snuck out. My mission was to force a surprise attack along the coastline as far as the fortress of Rajin and the port of Xiongji, and join up with the Third Fleet. The task of Xiongji Port is very heavy, which is why the boss urgently interspersed with the Third Fleet. ”
"Because the results of the reconnaissance showed that Xiongji Port is the largest crude oil port connecting Manchuria by the little devils. Now there are 4 oil tankers parked there, and the boss means that all of them will stay, and they must not be allowed to escape back to the island. We are all armies, and only by cutting off the retreat of the little devils from the sea can the strategic intentions of the boss be realized. ”
Chen Jie knew that what Wei Chong said was right, but in this way, Wei Chong's Fourth Division would face tremendous pressure. Coupled with the fact that the most powerful machine gun regiment in positional warfare was taken away by itself, it was even more passive.
"There's no time!" Wei Chong knew what Chen Jie was hesitating: "While the enemy has not yet adjusted, or has not yet decided where to go, this is our opportunity." Less than two hours before dawn is now, and in an hour my armoured assault force will attack in response to the interspersed maneuvers on your side. ”
"Alright then!" Chen Jie stood up and said, "Your machine gun regiment is a meritorious unit that made the first contribution in the battle to seize the airfield in Jinzhou, and this time it is they who shoulder the heavy responsibility. You must be careful on your side, in case it doesn't work, we'll find a way. ”
Wei Chong sent Chen Jie away, and then called Qiu Wanyou, the commander of the armored regiment, and Cao Renhou, the commander of the infantry regiment, over, and then pointed to the map and said: "Cao Renhou, half an hour later, your infantry regiment will set off from Yeyidong and occupy the line of Longtan and Chunxingli in the northeast before dawn to block possible deserters." ”
"Qiu Wanyou, an hour later, your armored regiment will set off from Linyingli and raid Jizhou City along the railway. The reconnaissance battalion sent a message that there was only one squadron of little devils in it, and the rest were the rape law enforcement team and the police. Remember, don't take this bastard prisoner, kill them all. ”
"Remember, the two regiments will arrive at the line of Yulang River and Meixiangli before noon tomorrow, and then build fortifications to build a momentum for attacking Jingcheng. In the event of a counterattack by the little devils, the armored vehicle carries out a long-range strike. Artillery regiments and anti-aircraft regiments then arrived. Go back and get ready to go, you don't have to report before you go. ”
After Qiu Wanyou and Cao Renhou left, Wei Chong sent a telegram to Bai Shujie: "Good boss, good senior brother, hurry up and urge Zhang Xiang's big brother's foreign army to come over to take over the defense, this ghost place in Chengjin City is all factories, and all the wharves are freighters, it's a mess, junior brother, I don't have time to clean up the mess." ”
Press Wei Chong to complain to Bai Shujie here, and don't mention it for the time being.
It is said that Chen Jie took Wei Chong's Fourth Machine Gun Regiment away, and then rushed back to Huishan, where he was stationed, overnight, and called Zhuo Weixiong, the commander of his Second Machine Gun Regiment, over to meet Liu Kui, the commander of the Fourth Machine Gun Regiment.
"This time interspersed with operations, Liu Kui was reappointed as the commander-in-chief. The task was to send the men of the Third Fleet to Bosiette Bay, and then build fortifications on the line of Nanyang, Zhongcheng, Qingyuan, and Zhanggufeng to block the northward escape of the 19th Division of the little devils. Two brothers, your defensive positions are to be divided into two directions: north and south. ”
"It is necessary not only to block the 19th Division's northward escape, but also to block the reinforcements in the direction of Yanji and Hunchun in the north. When you are allowed to disarm, you can leave. The key to whether or not our two field divisions in the northeast can fully fulfill the commander-in-chief's operational concept lies with you. The task is heavy and dangerous, good luck to you! Let's go! ”
"Lao Zhuo, we should still divide the work." Coming out of Chen Jie's headquarters, Liu Kuizhong whispered to Zhuo Weixiong: "The interspersed operation turned out to be a large force of seven or eight thousand people, this is not a fucking joke. Although the mountains here are high and densely forested, it is really difficult to say whether it can be quiet. ”
"The 2,400 people of the Third Fleet, all of them are young master soldiers, and it is said that they are at least all high school graduates, college students, and everyone knows foreign languages of several countries. Half of them were Jewish soldiers, and it remains to be seen whether they will be able to endure hardship. I arranged for one battalion to be the vanguard to explore the way, and the other three battalions accompanied me to protect it. ”
"Anyway, there is the Tumen River to the north, so there should be no problem. Therefore, the task of your regiment is to protect the right flank to the south. Once discovered by the little devils, I will lead those young master soldiers to rush out and cut off the enemy's pursuit route, and it will be up to you. ”
Zhuo Weixiong nodded: "Actually, what's the big deal?" The little devil is a division that is not satisfied, although there is an additional heavy artillery wing, but it is all fortress artillery, how much space can 12 105mm field guns take care of? Our two divisions are enough to make dumplings for them. ”
"I don't know what the boss thinks, this time we are not allowed to collide head-on. After running for a day and a night, there was only one left to call the plane, Lao Tzu didn't kill anyone anyway, and this battle couldn't be fought. Again, if you find a group of enemies, quickly call the bombers to come and save your life. ”
Liu Kuizhong smiled slightly: "Don't you see, our expeditionary force has not replenished the Korean soldiers here, all of them are supplemented by recruits brought from Jinzhou and Dalian." I estimate that the boss has another long-term plan, and now he is worried that our troop loss will be too great, so he will not hesitate to fight this battle. ”
"That's right!" Zhuo Weixiong nodded: "I heard that a bomb dropped by a bomber is tens of thousands of oceans." On this day and night, my obedient person doesn't know how many thousands of oceans have been thrown, and I won't count anyway. ”
Liu Kuizhong smiled: "Haha, you feel distressed when you throw a few bombs?" Do you know that a battleship is equivalent to a year's tax revenue for the entire three eastern provinces? I don't know how the boss got so much money back, so he threw out a lot of it, I haven't seen the domestic army, and it seems that the little devil can't do it. ”
The pioneer of the Fourth Machine Gun Regiment was in the battle to seize the airport in Jinzhou, almost all the officers below the battalion commander were killed, and the supreme commander was left with the first battalion of Guo Quanzhong, a deputy platoon commander, who is now the commander of the first machine gun battalion.
Since that battle, all the battalion, company, and platoon commanders of the first machine gun battalion have been promoted by the squad leader and deputy squad leader left over from that war, so it has become the first killer battalion, and the officers and men of the whole battalion are full of murderous spirit.
Bai Shujie issued an order and officially named it the "Flying Dragon Expeditionary Force Death Battalion"! Of course, it is not for them to be death squads, but to say that all the officers and men of this battalion can die in order to complete the mission.
It is precisely because they are not afraid of death that Bai Shujie issued a death order for this battalion: "If you find that there are more than 600 enemies in front of you, you must call for aircraft reinforcements, and those who violate the order will be engaged in military law!" ”
A battalion of the Wyvern Expeditionary Force, 1130 people. There are more than 600 enemies in front of them, barely more than half, that is, two to one is not allowed to fight head-on.
Guo Quanzhong led a company to take the lead, and the remaining three companies followed up 500 meters behind. In this way, at half past five in the morning, when the sky seemed to be bright and not bright, I embarked on the journey.
They started from Unheung, crossed a small ravine and climbed the Baekmo Plateau, the most famous plateau in North Korea, where several main peaks are more than 2,000 meters away.
If you think about it, the sea level is in the south, and suddenly a peak of 2,300 meters to 2,550 meters suddenly rises to the top, which is really more difficult than climbing to the sky. For example, as soon as Guo Quanzhong set out, the first peak was called Guanmao Peak, with an altitude of 2,541 meters.
The little devil probably didn't expect that the enemy would appear from this hellish place. In addition, there is an emergency in Mirror City, so almost no one cares about it.
At noon on July 30, 1939, a company of the vanguard of the first battalion of Guo Quanzhong had already rushed to a place called Xinyang. This is a small county town, and there are no little devils in it, only about thirty or so two-devil policemen. There was little time for Lang, and the policemen had already returned to the underworld.
Then I found the county office, arrested all the officials, and then screened them one by one, and then began to eat seven or eight thousand people.
Guo Quanzhong didn't dare to slack off, 50 kilometers southeast of this place is Ronan, that is, the headquarters of the 19th Division. 60 kilometers to the east is the headquarters of the Razin Fortress.
Therefore, Guo Quanzhong publicly executed all the people who should be killed, in order to deter the locality. Then all the radio stations were confiscated and all the telephone lines were unplugged. Only then were three platoons sent out to guard all intersections, and they were only allowed to enter and not to exit.
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
