Regarding how to deal with Shendan Fort, General Mishuchenko and Song Biao discussed for a long time. They put forward every detail that they needed to worry about and analyzed it individually. The final battle plan still adopted Song Biao's proposal. .
If we really take advantage of the time difference to continue to surround the Japanese Fifth Division in the Shendanbao area, gather the strength of the entire Second Group Army to annihilate it at once, or severely damage the Japanese Fifth Division, the balance of victory in the decisive battle will obviously favor the Russian army. .
When Song Biao left the command post of General Mishuchenko, the newly met Major Baron von Eske had already admired him very much and enthusiastically invited Song Biao to visit his regiment. Song Biao Didn't refuse either.
The main problem of the Russian army is that the command system is very chaotic. Secondly, its reserve force is not very large. The combat quality of temporarily recruited soldiers cannot be compared with the elite Japanese army. The situation of the Second Seudinsk Infantry Regiment is relatively better. , this infantry regiment has participated in many battles and has very good combat effectiveness.
After having some contact with their main grassroots officers, Song Biao continued to return to his regiment headquarters to conduct his war preparation exercises. His training was conducted secretly at night, and the exercises were night raid operations.
Treat others in their own way.
This is Song Biao's strategy.
Helping the Russian army was not Song Biao's sincere wish, but no matter what, he did gain a lot. If he could capture Shendan Fort and capture those dozens of machine guns, it would be even better.
The reason why Song Biao wanted to attack Shendan Fort was because of the dozens of machine guns.
The next day, in accordance with the order of the Heigoutai headquarters, Song Biao led the Manchurian Infantry Regiment to withdraw from the position on the south side of Heigoutai, and followed the Siberian Second Infantry Division to garrison in Datai Village and Yaobao. However, halfway, the Manchurian Infantry Regiment Then he stayed alone in the family kiln.
The Kanto elders in this area have already fled in all directions, and the entire village is empty. If the brothers are stationed here, they no longer have to sleep in the open on the battlefield.
From a military point of view, it would be absolutely stupid if the Japanese First Cavalry Brigade used Yujiayao as a breakout point, because passing Yujiayao would be the Heigoutai Front, which was heavily guarded by the Russian army. But no matter what, The basic defensive trenches and bunkers still need to be set up.
Song Biao's brothers have already had several experiences in setting up camps and defenses. After Song Biao made some arrangements, each squadron leader led his own team to build a circular defense line around Yujiayao, and set up separate defense points on the outer and inner lines. , the reconnaissance teams also dispersed one after another, collecting intelligence on the activities of the Japanese troops in the surrounding area.
After dark, Song Biao detached 20 people from his security squadron and followed him in the dark along Gouzilin into the dense forest on the slopes southwest of Shendan Fort to investigate the situation around Shendan Fort.
There was a deserted forest on the southwest side of Shendan Fort. Song Biao slowly penetrated forward in the forest. His biggest worry was not that the Japanese army was ambushing in the forest, but that the Japanese army might lay landmines here.
If he wanted to sneak attack the Japanese army at night, he had to find a way out.
Four of the twenty people he recruited individually were locals from the area around Shendan Fort, and most of the others were from Orions and caravans. They were all agile and agile, and had good marksmanship skills.
Under the guidance of several local brothers, they consciously took a long detour and approached the Japanese army's small fort along the south side of Huanglinzi.
When they reached the end of the deserted forest, there was only less than 600 meters away from the small fort at the Japanese garrison center. After Song Biao took a rough look around, he called Li Fugui, who had followed him all the way, over and asked him to He took a few local brothers with him to continue exploring the road, while the rest of the brothers stayed guard in the woods.
The locals must be familiar with the roads and can walk there with their eyes closed.
Song Biao followed them, one foot deep and one foot shallow, slowly moving toward the small bunker using various covers. The night was silent, except for sporadic gunshots from the Beitaizi defense line in the north. The moonlight was deserted. Silver light and blue snow.
Less than a hundred meters away, several local brothers took Song Biao to an earthen kiln. This was the place where the kiln was fired. It was abandoned after the Japanese army arrived at Shendan Fort. This place was quite special.
Song Biao found a very secluded place on the top of the kiln and carefully observed the small fort opposite with a low-light mirror.
The night was very dark, and the inside of the small fort where the Japanese troops were stationed was also dark. Only two rooms had lights. The surrounding earthen walls and the sentries at the four corners were even darker. There were more than a dozen Japanese soldiers guarding the earthen walls, and one person on each sentry post. Sentinel.
Because it was so dark, the place they could see was only a dozen meters away. Under normal circumstances, as long as there was no special sound, most of the sentries would hide behind the wall stacks to avoid the wind.
Waiting until it got daylight, Song Biao retreated back to the deserted forest. Before that, he had already understood the time and frequency of changing the Japanese sentry posts. It was probably because it was too cold outside. Out of the principle of protecting soldiers, the Japanese army would change posts every day. The shift changes every two hours, and the shift changes five minutes after the time. The whole process is very short.
According to this calculation, he basically believes that 3:30 am is a better time to take action.
Song Biao continued to hide in the deserted forest for a long time, and continued to change his binoculars to observe all the Japanese army's deployments in and around Xiaobaozi. It was not until the Japanese army sent a reconnaissance team to patrol the surrounding areas that he took his brothers back to Yujiayao .
Just when their group had just returned to Yujiayao, violent artillery trains came from the area around Shendan Fort. The intensity was much greater than yesterday. Song Biao stopped for a moment and listened for a moment, knowing that the Second Army was deployed at The two infantry divisions on the northern front of Shendanbao have begun an all-out attack.
The plan negotiated by Song Biao and General Mishuchenko was that after three days of the Russian army's full-scale attack, he would suddenly launch a night attack with the goal of occupying the small fort, and the Russian army must complete the complete blockade of Shendan Fort before that. And when the Japanese army counterattacked Xiaobaozi, they launched the final storm.
If his night attack plan fails, the Russian army will have no choice but to continue to use all their losses to capture Shendan Fort.
At this time, the Japanese garrison in Xiaobaozi was quite tight, and the probability of success in a night attack was not high.
A few days ago before the Battle of Heigoutai, Song Biao ate up all the beef and mutton purchased from Shenyang. The Manchurian Infantry Regiment had a good life for a few days, but now it has to live a hard life again. Fortunately, from the Eighth Division We seized a lot of grain and small bags of soybean paste and pickles from the Japanese army, and we could survive at the kiln for half a month just by making a living.
Knowing that Song Biao would not come back until this time, Major Kornilov and Zhao Tingzhu were waiting at the temporary regiment headquarters. They happened to have a breakfast at the regiment headquarters. Li Dahan found a bag of soybeans from nowhere.
, cooked a pot of soy porridge, and the result was that the battalion commanders and squadron leaders were better off.
As soon as Song Biao came back, everyone immediately stood up with bowls in hand, eager to ask about the situation.
Song Biao waved his hand, indicating that everyone should not be anxious.
Li Dahan immediately ran out with a large bowl of soybean porridge and half a plate of pickles, and complained: "Master, they all came to our security team to eat, and almost swallowed your portion."
Song Biao chuckled and said, "It doesn't matter."
After saying this, he took the bowl, sat down and wolfed down the large bowl of porridge. There were also two freshly steamed pickled vegetable buns, so that he could eat until he was full.
After being frozen outside all night, his whole body was as cold as an ice sculpture. Song Biao felt that the blood in his body was almost solidified, and even he was shivering from the cold.
The cold winter nights in the Northeast are really not something ordinary people can bear, so the Japanese soldiers standing guard on the wall are also suffering. Who doesn't want to find a place to hide from the wind and cold?
There was definitely no way to go on like this, so Song Biao asked Li Dahan to get a basin of hot water and wash his feet, and then he sat down on the kang to talk to his brothers.
After the brothers moved a small table and placed it on the kang, Song Biao took out the layout of the small fort that was roughly drawn by several locals, revised it with a pencil, and waved to Zhang Yahu and Hua Hua.
Leopard and others all sat over and watched together.
After the reconnaissance of the new deployment point was in place, everyone actually saw that Xiaobaozi was not an easy place to attack. The Japanese army fired four machine guns on Xiaobaozi and did not set them on the tower post because that place was too easy for the enemy to shoot.
The Japanese machine gun points were all located in the center of the four walls of the small fort, with a large shooting area, and the remaining machine guns could be moved over at any time.
This small fort is one hundred and twenty steps long and wide, and can usually house more than three hundred people. According to Song Biao's observation, the Japanese army placed the brigade headquarters here, and the brigade headquarters and
There are about two hundred people in a squadron. The key is to reserve two squadrons in places very close to each other on the north and south sides. At the same time, there is also a regiment as a reserve force.
If they want to capture Xiaobaozi directly, the troops of the reserve wing must be transferred.
After talking with his brothers about the deployment of the Japanese troops in Xiaobaozi, Song Biao was not in a hurry to adjust the night attack plan. Instead, he directly told the brothers: "The Japanese troops stationed here are their First Cavalry Brigade. This brigade has eight thousand soldiers."
Many war horses are all maintained in the residence of Shendan Fort. They may have a total of forty machine guns. This number is very terrifying. You must know that the total number of machine guns in the Russian army is only this. That grandson of Dashanyan dares to let one
The cavalry brigade is obviously very well prepared to defend a place like Shendan Fort where the lone army is deep. Let's calculate, if our regiment can suddenly destroy their brigade command post and take advantage of the chaos to kill one
The main position, seize Shendan Fort, the brigade's more than 8,000 horses, 40 machine guns, four 31-type rapid-fire cannons, and more than 8,000 golden hook rifles are all ours. Brother
We, let’s distribute it! There are more than 8,000 horses. If we grab these supplies, we can also build a cavalry brigade. The Japanese war horses are actually better than the Russian Don horses. Their war horses are made of local horses and
France's new improved breed of Anglo-Norman war horses is of extremely high quality. The horse's height, speed and endurance are very good. The price is very high. The Japanese army actually doesn't have many. They really want to rob him of 8,000 horses. This is a small day.
It’s booming!”
"Eight thousand horses?"
Upon hearing Song Biao's words, Xue Changqing's eyes turned green, and the other brothers were also extremely surprised.
These eight thousand horses are definitely more expensive than forty machine guns, and they are not easy to get. If Song Biao really gets it, his troops will be truly invincible in the Northeast, and Zhang Zuolin, Feng Linge and others will have to surrender.
, can't bear him at all.
