War command is an art.
Song Biao completed almost all the required preparations in the shortest possible time, led the entire army to Shiwen Town at noon the next day, and continued marching that night toward the deep mountains and old forests of Guandong.
Neither the Japanese nor the Russian army actually had detailed maps of this area. There were ravines with glacial structures everywhere, and they were so intricate that even locals would get lost.
Song Biao's advantage was that his troops had caravans who were familiar with the terrain in this area. They had traveled here all their lives and could find a path with their eyes closed. They could successfully reach their destination even if they were walking at night.
In order to avoid the eyes, ears and eyes of the Japanese army, Song Biao led his troops to march at night. During the day, they dispersed according to regiments and hid in the surrounding mountains and forests to wait for the arrival of darkness.
The Japanese army was not unprepared for this. They deployed an infantry regiment in the narrowest part of Erdaogou Ridge. However, the Japanese army did ignore the complexity of the terrain in the northeastern mountains. Several old gang leaders of the local caravans
Following the lead, Song Biao led a huge force that was almost the size of an army group, and silently dispersed into six units. They quietly bypassed the Japanese garrison from the Wangxigou area, and finally ended up in a place called Lishugou.
Secret rendezvous.
At this time, they were only ten kilometers away from Guantaigou, the headquarters of the Fifth Army, the main right-wing force of the Japanese army.
May 27.
Japan achieved an unprecedented and brilliant victory in the Battle of Tsushima Strait.
At dawn on the next two days, the Japanese Manchurian Army officially launched a decisive land offensive against the Russian army. The Kuroki Kaizhenbu of the Japanese First Army took the lead in launching a frontal offensive, and the Second Army Okubo Gong and the Fourth Army Nozu Kandobu followed.
Go up and launch a fierce attack on the right flank of the Russian Third Army and the First Army at the same time.
Song Biao had no way of knowing all this, as he was already far away from the Russian command headquarters. But he was able to observe the first wave of fierce attacks launched by the Japanese army on the Russian positions on the morning of the 28th.
He had confirmed that the Kawamura Kagemin Division of the Fifth Army on the right wing of the Japanese army was not far in front of him.
The entire Russo-Japanese War itself was a bizarre modern war with constant adventures. As for how Song Biao's Manchurian infantry division, which had expanded to more than 40,000 people, appeared behind the Japanese defense line, this was probably something the Japanese never expected.
.
If the Japanese army relied on luck to defeat their opponents in the Russo-Japanese War, Song Biao secretly moved his troops to the Linshugou area without being noticed by the Japanese army. This in itself was also a very lucky thing. For example, in Siberia
The 5th and 7th Infantry Regiments got lost halfway and had to march during the day, while the Japanese army did not have any deployment in that area.
Song Biao unexpectedly appeared in a place that the Japanese army did not expect at all, and he arrived in advance before the Japanese army launched a general offensive. This was the worst thing for the Japanese army.
The setting sun slants on Xigouling. In front of it is a long and narrow field that has long been abandoned and overgrown with weeds. Farther away is the long and stretching Sandaolingzi. The Japanese artillery position is located on the westernmost side of Sandaolingzi.
On the slope of Houxiaoyu, an infantry regiment was deployed in positions around Qianxiaoyu and Houxiaoyu to defend the artillery position.
At a distance of eight kilometers, as long as Song Biao listened attentively, he could still hear the dense sound of artillery fire in the distance.
There was already a Japanese search team operating in this area. Song Biao wore a black mandarin jacket and leggings and hid in Xigouling to personally conduct reconnaissance of the enemy. This was his consistent style.
Colonel Brusilov also wore local clothes and followed Song Biao with more than a dozen soldiers from the guard company. He also held a telescope and hid in a forest to observe the surroundings quietly.
The mountain road was not easy to walk, so the fifty-two-year-old man was walking through this mountain forest. Unfortunately, he fell down halfway, and his whole body was dirty and embarrassed.
He and Song Biao could not see much. They could only see clusters of black smoke over the artillery positions in the distance, and that was all.
They were already forty kilometers away from the headquarters and ten kilometers away from the nearest frontline battlefield. They had no information at all, and the liaison officer sent back by Song Biao would not be able to return until at least two days or even three days later.
They all believed that the naval battle might be over. That's why the Japanese army launched a general offensive, but it is unknown which fleet won the victory.
After quietly groping for the enemy's rear, the Japanese army had not noticed it. Colonel Alexeevich Brusilov really thought that all this was amazing. It was probably only the local personnel in Fengtian.
In order to be able to do such a thing, it was the first time for him to lead the cavalry through such a place.
Manchuria is really magical. In the mountains and mountains all over the sky, there are hidden roads that can be traveled through, even roads for cavalry to pass through. This really opened the eyes of Colonel Alexeevich Brusilov.
He thought, if the frontline commander of the Manchurian Infantry Division was not a local, who would have thought that such a magical thing would happen?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but put down his telescope and praised Song Biao: "Your Excellency, Commander, now I finally understand why you can lead the changes in the entire Heigoutai Battle. This is really amazing. I
This is the first time I have discovered that Manchuria has so many anomalies. The topography here is really difficult to understand. It seems that there are ravines and roads everywhere. It is as complicated as a spider web. I think the Japanese army is absolutely
It is unimaginable that the main force of the empire with the size and organization of a quasi-army like ours is hiding behind their artillery positions. This is really... I don’t think there is such a bizarre example in the entire history of world wars."
Song Biao thought for a moment, then continued to observe the rolling hills of Sandaolingzi ahead, looking for a suitable assault route, and replied to Colonel Brusilov: "Before this, the Battle of Waterloo was the most bizarre example.
As for the final historical evaluation of this battle, we naturally don't know. One thing we do know is that the Japanese army did not expect that we would be hiding here. The Japanese search team is constantly expanding the search area.
I think we have to launch an attack the night after tomorrow."
Colonel Brusilov said: "Actually, you can do it tomorrow."
Song Biao refused: "No, I don't think the First Army will be defeated so early. If possible, we can wait a few days later. It will be more appropriate to launch a surprise attack when the Japanese attack is blocked."
Colonel Brusilov said: "I'm afraid this will depend on the outcome of the naval battle. Do you think that the Japanese army's proactive attack means that their navy will be defeated or that their navy will be victorious?"
Song Biao simply replied: "There is no doubt that they must have won a great victory, so they must take advantage of this high morale to defeat the Russian defense line. We must attack tomorrow night. If it is a few days later, I am afraid that Li Nevi
General Qi may be forced to retreat."
Although Colonel Brusilov did not want to believe Song Biao's inference, he really didn't know how to refute it.
All in all, it's all gloomy, and the only hope lies probably with their elite division.
Before dark, Song Biao quietly led the reconnaissance team to leave Xigouling and return to the Linshugou area where they were hiding, because the Japanese army had reconnaissance balloons. Too many troops were scattered inside the Linshugou area, which could easily be
The Japanese army noticed.
Linden Tree Valley is a very secret place. It is a mountain ravine with only one exit. It is three hundred steps wide from north to south and one kilometer long from east to west. Because it has not been cultivated yet, the ravine is full of towering linden trees and dense vegetation.
The reason why Song Biao chose to hide the entire army here was because there were many smaller ravines scattered around Linshugou. The forest was also dense and the terrain was complex. The entire army was spread out and hidden. Each unit followed Song Biao's request.
Use concealment and disguise as much as possible.
Especially when it comes to disguise, they have done a very good job along the way.
The only pain is that they can't make a fire to cook, and the whole army can only eat dry food. Song Biao very professionally prepared a kind of fried noodles, which is mixed with sesame seeds, peanuts, fried noodles and bean paste containing some cured meat. It is the only food for the soldiers at present.
rations.
However, everyone also collected a lot of linden flowers here, and the clusters of white flower seeds can also be eaten.
After returning to Linshugou, Song Biao once again made new adjustments to the originally scheduled combat plan. The exact attack time was determined to be 1 a.m. on May 31.
A bad and indecisive commander-in-chief sometimes brings strange luck, because the First Army of the Russian Far East Army suddenly gave up its forward position on May 20, and the entire army gradually retreated to the north of Erdaogou.
, the Kawamura Keimei Division of the Japanese Fifth Army, which was passively catching up, only began to expand towards this area on the 21st.
To be precise, General Kawamura Keimei actually arrived here only six days earlier than Song Biao. He had just arrived and had not had time to search all the surrounding terrain. Song Biao arrived just behind him. Before General Kawamura Keimei could continue the complete search, the general offensive
The order was officially issued, and all the main forces of the Japanese army rushed forward.
This situation probably only appeared frequently on battlefields in the 19th century.
Examples of situations where most of the enemy's troops were two kilometers away without knowing it were common on battlefields in the 19th century, and the Battle of Waterloo seems to be one of them.
When General Kawamura Keaki concentrated all his energy and troops to attack the Russian First Army, he never thought that there was another small-scale Russian army hidden in the rolling mountains ten kilometers behind him.
If he knew, he would probably vomit blood.
Song Biao has extremely high tactical command authority, although this authority needs to be confirmed by Colonel Alexeevich Brusilov and Lieutenant Colonel Artur Krznovik Martos at the same time on the front line.
.
As the intelligence fed back by the reconnaissance company became more and more detailed, and after being able to figure out most of the details of the Japanese army's position deployment, Song Biao continued to revise his combat plan.
His initial plan was mainly to attack the opponent's rear supply troops and reserves. The result surprised him. Due to the special direction of Sandao Ridge from northeast to southwest, the Japanese Fifth Army was forced to move its artillery to give priority to its artillery power.
The positions were set up on the edge, while the headquarters of the Fifth Army was set up in the Guantai ditch in the middle.
Guantaigou is not a safe place. The Fifth Army of the Japanese Manchurian Army, which clearly has two divisions, one brigade and two reserve infantry regiments, has only one brigade and one reserve in the Guantai Valley area.
The infantry regiment is used to protect artillery positions, and another reserve infantry regiment is located in the Corning Camp area to guard the pass.
The most interesting thing is that due to the same terrain characteristics, the Japanese Fifth Army's baggage regiment and ordnance department were located in Baiqingzhai.
It seems that all the key points of the Japanese army under layers of protection have the same problem, that is, the defensive forces are too weak and can only resist small-scale raids. Facing a small-scale group army like Song Biao's tribe, it is really Japanese paper.
Just as easy to pierce.
When Song Biao further understood the Japanese army's deployment, he could only say that if there is a goddess of luck in the world, this goddess must be his godmother.
As for the situation of the Japanese and Russian troops on the main battlefields on the front line, Song Biao still knew nothing. He didn't even know the big news such as whether the Russian army was defeated. Therefore, he was very helpless and could only continue to try his luck.
.
If the First Army of the Russian Far East Army has been defeated, and it suddenly hits behind the Fifth Army, it is equivalent to attracting all the firepower of the entire Japanese right wing, the Manchurian Army Headquarters' General Reserve and the Reserve Army. Isn't this in another sense?
What about early death and early reincarnation?
War is like this, always full of chaos and unknowns.
The future is always unknown.
After night fell again, a large-scale quasi-group army finally tore off the camouflage of Lishugou. Chen Wu's 3rd Manchurian Infantry Regiment spread out and moved forward, cooperating with the 4th and 5th Siberian Infantry Regiments to attack the Japanese artillery positions.
The 1st Far East Infantry Regiment, which is better at mountain warfare, and the 1st and 2nd Sezhangdinsk Infantry Regiments are responsible for attacking the headquarters of the Japanese Fifth Army. The 7th Siberian Infantry Regiment is dispersed behind as a backup force, completely attacking the headquarters and artillery.
After the attack on the position, two additional regiments will be dispatched to attack the Japanese supply chain.
Song Biao personally led the assault force to leave Lishugou and quietly advance toward the Japanese position along this place called Sidaogou. The force was divided into three. Song Biao was responsible for personally leading the 1st Infantry Regiment of the Far East and the 7th Siberian Infantry Regiment.
The corps was in the center, with the left and right wings advancing along the forest slope at the same time.
The Japanese army deployed four outposts in this area. Song Biaohe led his reconnaissance company to take the lead in groping over and eliminating the northernmost one. The troops continued to advance quietly along the shadows under the ravine like three long snakes.
Major von Eske arrived at the destination first, and Song Biao continued to advance with the remaining two troops. After he arrived at the destination, Chen Wu and others continued to lead the team toward Houxiaoyu.
Four kilometers away from them, Colonel Brusilov will quickly eliminate the remaining three sentries at the appointed time and lead the large force to Xigou Ridge to establish a temporary artillery position there.
On the twenty-seventh day of the fourth lunar month, the moonless night was so dark. A warm cool breeze blew along the ravine. Hidden in a bush, Song Biao quietly waited for the time to arrive.
There were still two long hours before they would launch the attack. During this time, they needed to climb over the mountain ridge in front of them and avoid being discovered by the Japanese army as much as possible to meet the conditions for a surprise attack.
It is definitely impossible for him to avoid being noticed here, because after climbing over this mountain, there is an infantry brigade of Japanese troops stationed in the ravine on the opposite side. This brigade is divided into four camps, arranged around Guantai Valley, one of which is located in
Halfway up the mountain...)
