Tianhua Mountain, the headquarters of the Second Division of Feilong, now only the division commander Chen Jie, the commander of the light pole, sings a one-man show, because the deputy division commander Zhang Yushu and the chief of staff Chen Dazhu are still in Xiuyan, and the Xiuyan Independent Regiment and the Korean Independent Regiment have not yet been established.

In other words, the backbone of the Second Division of Feilong should be justified after the South Manchurian Independent Regiment, Xiuyan Independent Regiment, and Korean Independent Regiment were combined.

Because of this, the Second Division of the Flying Dragon is actually the only team among the six divisions of the Flying Dragon Expeditionary Force that has not completed the reorganization.

Since the Battle of Xinkailing, Chen Jie has never launched the Chongdà campaign according to Bai Shujie's orders. In the past two years or so, the main thing has been to respond to the special operations brigade to go deep into North Manchuria to make trouble, to deliver supplies to the Korean Independence Regiment, and to respond to Zhang Yushu to gain a firm foothold in Xiuyan.

Although he usually fights in the neighborhood and does not do anything earth-shattering, Chen Jie's South Manchurian Independent Regiment is not slow to develop.

When the artillery battalion commander Gao Jingxiang was reconnoitring in Biling Town, he killed a squad of the little devil's baggage squadron, rescued Wang Sannier and Siya, and by the way, recruited Wang Sannier's fiancé Wang Erhu, that is, the "beggar gang leader" in the Benxi area.

After half a year of regular military training, Chen Jie took Wang Erhu and the 25 people he brought out at that time, plus Luo Ermao, who was "forced to join the army" (who was brought back from the attack on Shao Benliang's headquarters), and these 27 original "professional beggars of the Benxi generation" formed a secret detachment to go deep into Benxi, Liaoyang, Lianshanguan, Tangshan, and Andong to conduct propaganda reconnaissance.

Chen Jie asked Wang Erhu and Luo Ermao to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and the most important task was to search for practical beggars and constantly expand their team.

Not to mention, because Wang Erhu has practiced with his master, a piece of more than ten catties of guillotine blade in his hand cuts off people's heads, so his vision is very high.

Tongguò spent more than a year running around the whole of South Manchuria, basically snaring the local "promising beggars", and barely managed to get back 915 little beggars. Among them, 9-17-year-old girls accounted for 257 people.

The key problem is that these 900 people are too young, and there are more than 100 people under the age of 13. Just when Chen Jie had a headache, Huang Suzhen, the deputy captain of the guerrilla team, stood up and "bravely shouldered the heavy burden": "Don't worry, the regiment commander, this group of little soldiers will form a youth battalion and hand it over to me to lead." ”

The book explains that at the last moment of the Xinkailing Battle, Li Bozhou's special battalion rescued a large army of more than 500 people.

Later, when there was a decisive battle with the enemy, more than 500 people ran away. As a result, when they arrived at the front line of Fengcheng and Lianshanguan, these people knew that Li Bozhou was specially to rescue him, but he ran away like this, which was really unrighteous.

That is, these people, taking advantage of the chaos caused by the Xinkailing War, took advantage of the Lianshanguan Railway Station and the brigade headquarters of the Little Devil Garrison Brigade again.

When Chen Jie was in the front line of Tianhua Mountain and Xinkailing to conceal the training team, all these people joined the South Manchurian Independent Regiment. This back and forth, "passing on the help" to each other, and more and more admirers came, so that the total number of Chen Jie's troops soon exceeded 5,000 people.

After receiving Bai Shujie's "order on the formation of the Second Division of the Flying Dragon", Chen Jie began the third reorganization of the South Manchurian Independent Regiment in the past six months.

The main purpose is to complete the replacement of the new equipment sent by Bai Shujie during the Spring Festival, and use all the standard equipment of the Flying Dragon Expeditionary Force. In fact, it is also a set of things that Bai Shujie "copycated", called "Dingwei series firearms (DW series)".

The light firepower of the squad is the AK47 assault rifle and the AKM light machine gun; The company-platoon level support firepower is the 12.7mm caliber DW general-purpose heavy machine gun and the 82 recoilless gun (DW82L - company-level artillery).

Chen Jie's reorganized reconnaissance battalion (976 people, equipped with AK47 assault rifles), machine gun battalion (976 people, equipped with AKM light machine guns, DW general-purpose heavy machine guns), infantry battalion (750 people, equipped with AK47 assault rifles and AKM light machine guns), cavalry battalion (750 people, AK47 assault rifles), artillery battalion (976 people, DW82L artillery), and junior battalion (846 guard battalions, armed with AK47 assault rifles), with a total number of 5,376 people.

Anyway, the scope of Xinkailing and Tianhua Mountain is large enough, and the little devils and the second devils usually don't dare to come out. After the reorganization of the unit was completed, Chen Jie spent a month conducting tactical synthesis exercises, and finally spent 10 days conducting live-fire training, and the team was basically formed.

In the early morning of October 13, 1937, Chen Jie finally received Bai Shujie's top-secret battle order.

As one of Bai Shujie's most effective generals, although Chen Jie did not know Bai Shujie's overall battle plan, the words in the order, "destroy the railway transportation line, prevent the enemy from going south, transfer the cavalry regiment of the Anfeng Garrison Headquarters in Andong County, and then annihilate it in the field" had already made Chen Jie smell something.

After more than two years of dealing with the enemy in South Manchuria, Chen Jie naturally knew the garrison strength of Andong County, one was more than 900 people from the 6th Garrison Brigade of the little devil, and the other was more than 1,000 people from a cavalry regiment left in the Anfeng Garrison Headquarters.

"It seems that the boss is not trying to create chaos in Andong County, but to completely take Andong County in one go. During the freezing period last year, the boss first asked Jiang Guitang to lead more than 1,300 people across the border to form the Korean Independence Regiment. ”

"Later, it successively sent regiment-sized baggage troops to transport more than two divisions of weapons and equipment into the DPRK, and with the Soviet-style equipment and Japanese-style equipment transferred from the special operations brigade, it was more than enough to form three divisions in the DPRK."

"Let me integrate the Xiuyan Independent Regiment and the Korean Independent Regiment and expand them into the Second Division of the Feilong Expeditionary Force. In this way, the object of the expedition is North Korea! With today's order, is the boss ready for the expedition to begin? ”

Chen Jie looked at the order, his face was red, which was caused by the excitement before the big battle. He knew that the long-awaited moment had finally come, so he did not dare to delay in the slightest, and hurriedly convened a meeting of all the battalion commanders and deputy battalion commanders to carry out the final deployment before the war.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have been immersed in military training for more than a year, and we all changed our outfits half a year ago, and now is the time to test us." Chen Jie shook the telegram in his hand and said: "The battle order has just come down, and the commander-in-chief has ordered us to launch an attack on the front line of Fengcheng, Liujiahe, and Caohekou at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon. ”

"It should be emphasized that this time is very different from the past, and you can't just fight and leave. The order requires three elements: first, to completely destroy the enemy in front of you; secondly, the destruction of no less than thirty kilometers of railways; Third, transfer out the cavalry regiment of Zhang Zhenyou in Andong County, and then eat it outside. ”

"The enemy we faced was divided into three parts: the first part was the first wing of the North Korean division Kang Seok-woo, they were two brigades, and we had already killed two squadrons in the last battle of Xinkailing. At present, the first brigade defends Xiamatang, Lianshanguan, Caohekou, and Tongyuanbao, and the brigade headquarters is located at the Lianshanguan railway station. ”

"The second brigade defended Liujiahe, Fengcheng, and Tangshan Town respectively, and the brigade headquarters was located in Fengcheng. Jiang Xiyou's wing headquarters was set up at the Liujiahe Railway Station, and there was an infantry squadron, a machine gun squadron, a flag protection squadron, and a communications squadron of the Second Brigade. ”

"The second part of the enemy is the troops under the Anbong Garrison Command. However, this army has been eaten by Xiuyan's Zhang Yushu Independent Regiment two infantry regiments one after another, leaving Zhang Zhenyou in Andong County with more than 1,000 cavalry regiments. ”

"The third part of the enemy we are facing is the authentic little devils. There are more than 900 people in the 6th Garrison Brigade in Andong County, and more than 700 people in the 4th Garrison Brigade moved from Lianshan Pass to Benxi. ”

"To sum up, the total strength of the enemy we are facing should be more than 3,400 people of Jiang Xiyou's Korean wing, more than 1,000 Zhang Zhenyou's traitor team, and more than 1,500 little devils, with a total strength of about 7,000 people."

"How many people are in our independent regiment? I believe that everyone also has a number in their hearts, and we are now six battalions, close to 5,000 people. In this way, we are fighting more with less. However, this view is also correct and incorrect. ”

"First of all, the enemy was trapped by the railroad next to them. If we think of the railroad as a poisonous snake, then these enemies are like scales on the body of a poisonous snake. Scales can't survive on their own without a viper's body, so we have a lot to do. ”

"Secondly, the enemy sticks to the railroad like scales, and as long as the railroad does not move, these scales are fixed and lose their due mobility. In this way, the enemies who are more numerous than us are actually fewer than us at a certain point. ”

"The Commander-in-Chief has repeatedly stressed that we must not be blindly optimistic, but admit our own weakness as a whole. However, we must not be blindly pessimistic, and we must find ways to create local advantages. Then concentrate the superior forces and break the enemy individually. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Jie stopped his speech, but picked up his tea jar and drank water leisurely. The main purpose is to allow his subordinates to digest the advantages and disadvantages of the enemy and the enemy just pointed out.

As a commander-in-chief, the most fundamental task is to fully implement all the contents of the order and achieve the campaign goal. It's easy to say, but it's hard to do.

Half of Chen Jie's right-hand men are actually older than him. The most important reason why these people believe in him is that he seems calm at all times. He has strong self-confidence, but also sees the enemy as very strong, and never carelessly underestimates the enemy.

However, Chen Jie's biggest advantage is that he has followed Bai Shujie since he was less than 14 years old, and he has been fighting all the way for more than ten years, and he has learned a lot from Bai Shujie. Whether it is the ability to observe or control the overall situation, it can be regarded as outstanding, and it belongs to the real teenagers and old adults. Otherwise, it is impossible to control one side from the age of 20.

Chen Jie's special experience determines the biggest advantage, which makes others incomparable. Although he did not go to any military school, the various tactical theories he came into contact with Bai Shujie were more advanced than those who came out of military schools.

"Well, the commander-in-chief ordered us to attack at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and time is running out to prepare." After putting down the teapot, Chen Jie came to the front of the map and said, "Next, I will explain the key points and battle requirements of this battle to you clearly here. All that's left is for you to play on the spot, give full play to our strengths, and take the enemy by surprise. ”

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