452. Rescue Xinkailing

After signing Situ Xiong's telegram, Chen Jie said in a low voice: "Inform the special battalion and the guard company to prepare for battle, and the commander-in-chief will set off as soon as he calls back!" ”

After all, this is an operation related to the future of the South Manchurian Independent Regiment, and it needs to be specifically ordered by the boss. If there was no Tianhua Mountain, Chen Jie would have let the troops return to the secret camp to hide, and then attack behind the enemy's flank, which was the most certain and fruitful way.

But now if you want to block the enemy's eastward advance, you will inevitably have to go head-on with the enemy. In terms of the nature of the interspersed troops, this has already violated the original intention. But Bai Shujie gave an order, and the special meaning of Tianhua Mountain in Chen Jie's mind, so this battle had to be fought.

However, in the face of the oppression of nearly 10,000 people, simple defense will definitely not work. Bai Shujie originally said that he would lead the enemy in circles, but now it is not good. The enemy's four-way army is connected, how to turn? Who can pull it?

So after the telegram was sent, Chen Jie began to wait anxiously for Bai Shujie's zuihou decision.

"Xinkailing?" Bai Shujie was shocked when he heard Xiao Lamei read the three words Xinkailing: "Chen Jie, this kid wants to teach Shao Benliang a lesson on the front line of Xinkailing?" ”

Seeing Bai Shujie's surprised expression, Xiao Lamei asked suspiciously: "What's the matter, isn't it okay here in Xinkailing?" ”

"It's not that it can't be done, but the first line of the new ridge is full of large gullies and deep gullies, the terrain is extremely complex, and the maneuver space is very narrow. Xinkailing is a lonely ridge, extending southwest to the edge of the Yalu River. ”

Bai Shujie pulled Xiao Lamei to the front of the map and said, "You see, after attacking Fengcheng at the beginning, we immediately retreated to the northeast, and then made a detour into Tianhua Mountain, just to avoid the line of Xinkailing. ”

"If the river freezes in winter, you can enter the Korean Peninsula. But it's the middle of April, and the Yalu River can't be crossed. ”

"Once the fight starts, unless Chen Jie and the others can eat at least two battalions of Shao Benliang in one bite, they will be able to tear the hole enough to jump out of the encirclement. Chen Jie, with more than 1,000 people, can he use the shortest time to eat two enemy battalions in one bite? If you get surrounded by enemies, it's bad! ”

Others don't know what Xinkailing is, but Bai Shujie knows it very well!

Back then, Du Yuming's "Northeast Suppression Headquarters" concentrated nearly 100,000 people in eight integrated divisions to attack the South Manchurian region, and planted a big heel here!

It was late October 1946, and Du Yuming, commander-in-chief of the "Northeast Suppression Commandery", in order to realize the strategic policy of "attacking the south and defending the north, first the south and then the north", concentrated 8 divisions to launch a comprehensive attack on the Northeast ** coalition army in the South Manchurian region in three ways, just like the current situation of the little devil.

From October 31 to November 2, in just three days, the 4th Column of the Northeast ** Coalition Army was in the Xinkailing area in the northwest of Kuandian County, Liaoning, annihilating more than 8,900 people of the 25th Division of the invading enemy, of which more than 5,800 were captured.

Division Commander Li Zhengyi, Deputy Division Commander Duan Peide, and 73rd Regiment Commander Li Gongyan were captured, and all American-style equipment was captured, fulfilling the prestige of General Han Xianchu, a tiger general.

Under the condition that the strength is basically equal, it is the first example of the Northeast ** Coalition Army annihilating an elite division of Jiang in a single operation. This is the famous Xinkailing victory, and it also opened the historical prelude to the history of Jiang someone's rice bucket running away from the mainland and then hiding in Taiwan Province!

The situation Chen Jie is facing now is not less than 10,000 times more dangerous than General Han Xianchu back then! At that time, there were still more than 60,000 main forces of the Northeast ** Coalition Army, and the gap between them and Du Yuming's more than 100,000 troops was not very big.

But the current South Manchurian Independent Regiment has just set up a shelf, but there are only about 1,000 people. If he wants to compete with the enemy of nearly 10,000 people here, Bai Shujie can't help but pinch a cold sweat.

"Big brother, I don't see it that way!" Zhao Jinxi suddenly came in and said: "I also took a closer look at the map just now, Chen Jie, it is still possible for them to break the dream of Shao Benliang, the king of eight calves!" The current situation is that Shao Benliang used the main force to besiege Xinkailing, which means that the outer defense line is already very weak. ”

"Second, Chen Jie, they were not discovered, and this is the biggest advantage. Shao Benliang didn't know that there was a mobile force with powerful firepower hidden around him. My point of view is that Chen Jie was ordered to ignore the battle situation on the front line of Xinkailing for the time being, but to start from the periphery, adopt the strategy of encircling Wei and saving Zhao, and attack what he must save. ”

"Third, in terms of choosing the target for attack, it can be a direct attack on Shao Benliang's headquarters, or even a direct attack on Fengcheng or Andong County, just like you did back then, and threaten the Yalu River Bridge! My aunt and grandmother don't believe it, the little devil will give up these two places! ”

"Fourth, if it doesn't work, you can also break the kettle and order Gao Erwa's North Korean contingent to immediately go north and carry out a north-south attack on the Yalu River Bridge, completely blowing it up! It's a big deal that the two sides break up, and we take back the two task forces temporarily, so what can the little devil do with me? ”

Zhao Jinxi is good at strategic foresight, and his actual combat moves are fierce, and Bai Shujie can be regarded as once again enlightened.

If you follow Zhao Jinxi's fierce tactics and directly make a fuss about Fengcheng and Anton, the first knife will be directly inserted into the enemy's heart, which can certainly immediately achieve the tactical goal of relieving the siege of Xinkailing. However, the risks are also very high.

Because in this way, the little devils will definitely shake the whole line, all the main forces will inevitably operate, and the entire South Manchurian region will definitely be a pot of porridge!

The direct consequence was that Chen Jie and the others were completely exposed, becoming the enemy's main target, and losing the fundamental starting point of strategic concealment.

If this situation is formed, it will be best for Rehe, but Chen Jie's independent regiment will be dangerous. If the little devil dog jumps off the wall in a hurry, Chen Jie and the others will not be able to escape at all.

It's a pity that it is ready to shoot now, and it is already burning eyebrows, so Bai Shujie can't carefully scrutinize the gains and losses. Besides, apart from Zhao Jinxi's tricks, I really couldn't find a safer way for a while.

Just kidding, you still want to find a safe and secure way to make trouble in the rear of the enemy's heavy defense, isn't that a fool's dream?

Chen Jie received Bai Shujie's call back, and it had been more than forty minutes. He took the telegram and looked at it, and a knowing smile appeared on his face.

As expected, Bai Shujie did not explain how to deal with the current situation, because the return electrode is simple: "Adapt to local conditions, be flexible; Don't top the bull, attack it will be saved. Another: There is a reserve warehouse on the east side of the mountain wall in the middle waist of Tongtian Gorge, and the corresponding equipment can be lifted according to the needs of actual combat. This is top secret, so be careful! ”

"What needs to be paid attention to is that Shao Benliang was born as a bandit, and the most powerful thing is to fight in the jungle. Especially in the night combat melee in the jungle, it is known as the invincible South Manchurian, but there are no advantages in other aspects. All of you must play to your strengths and avoid weaknesses as much as possible, and don't give Shao Benliang a chance to play his strengths. ”

"Situ Xiong, send a telegram to Zhang Minghan of the cavalry battalion: Your unit will be dispatched from the Chujiagou line in the southwest of Baojialing tonight, and before three o'clock tomorrow morning, it will be concealed and interspersed with the first line of Beiweizi, five kilometers southeast of Saimaji, waiting for the next order."

According to Bai Shujie's telegram prompt, Chen Jie immediately changed his original combat jihua. His initial idea was to prepare to use a north-south flank attack with the cavalry battalion to directly rescue the troops trapped on the Xinkailing. Since the night combat melee in the mountains and forests of Shao Benliang is very powerful, this trick cannot be used, otherwise it will definitely cause heavy casualties.

Situ Xiong turned around to send a telegram, Chen Jie grabbed his Czech light machine gun from the table and walked out of the command headquarters, and came to the woods where Bai Shujie practiced plum blossom stakes, where Li Bozhou's special battalion and Ma Chongde's guard company were already assembled and on standby.

"Ma Chongde, lead your two battle platoons with me. Li Bozhou, your special battalion is preparing for departure! ”

This time, I got countless bullets and shells from the capture of Weiziyu, but without machine guns and mortars, it was useless.

Chen Jie has now increased by hundreds of people, and the most important thing is that there are not enough machine guns and mortars. Especially in the defensive position of Tianhua Mountain, a heavy machine gun can't take care of it at all. Now that Bai Shujie has told him a big secret, he must naturally be extremely careful.

Ma Chongde's guard company, because of the security problems of the communications platoon, was the only unit that did not "mix sand" when the unit was expanded. Now if you want to enter the "top secret" area in Bai Shujie's mouth, it is naturally the biggest secret in the entire Rehe Front Army. What can be used is his own original guard company.

Extremely carefully opened the ancient vines that had grown for an unknown number of centuries, and a two-meter-square cave appeared in front of everyone. Chen Jie led everyone in to take a look, and couldn't help but gasp: "My good man, the detachment leader is really a god, when did he hide the equipment of a reorganized regiment here!" ”

"The first platoon removed 3 Type 92 heavy machine guns and 12 mortars, the second platoon removed 15 crooked machine guns and 12 grenadiers, and the rest were not allowed to move!" Chen Jie said solemnly: "You are all the most trustworthy people in the Rehe Front, so I brought you here." Everything here, you all rot in my stomach! ”

After an hour and a half of hard work, the heavy weapon was moved to Chen Jie's headquarters, and then Gao Jingxiang and Li Bozhou were ordered to come over immediately to collect the equipment.

"Gao Jingxiang, your current light machine guns, mortars and infantry guns should be enough, and now I will strengthen you with 3 Type 92 heavy machine guns. With 4 heavy machine guns, it was possible to build four solid defensive positions. Li Bozhou, this operation is to rely on powerful assault firepower, so I will strengthen you with 12 crooked handles and 6 mortars. ”

"Li Bozhou, strengthen 6 mortars for you, and the large army will set off on time at half past seven. A company was ordered to immediately set out to take the lead, and went from the southwest ditch to Xiangxia. After Gaojiabao and Nantai, go up the ditch to the northwest, and go straight to the west from the small sandwich ditch. Before 3 o'clock tomorrow morning, we must rush to Lishugou, three kilometers northwest of Saimaji. ”

At nine o'clock in the evening, Chen Jie and the guard company had already arrived at a place six kilometers northeast of Xinkailing. In the deep mountains and dense forests to the southwest, a few gunshots can be heard from time to time, and the light of the explosion can be seen flashing.

This is not a good place, and it will be bad if it is discovered by the enemy, so Chen Jie whispered to Situ Xiong beside him: "Pass it back: Keep quiet and pass through this canyon quickly!" ”

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
