Song Biao's choice was to use four times the opponent's force to launch a fierce and rapid raid at night. He must annihilate the opponent's military headquarters before dawn, destroy the opponent's command center, and destroy the opponent's artillery and baggage regiments.
.
After that, he would organize a more rigorous defensive position and force his opponents to attack the multiple highlands he had chosen.
For military commanders, the more insidious they are, the more clever they are.
After determining the coverage of the artillery at the artillery position, they immediately began bombing the Japanese military command post and the Japanese infantry regiment assisting the defense. This was different from bombing the frontline positions. There were no suitable bunkers and trenches here, although it needed to be attacked.
The surface is wider, but it can produce better coverage bombing effect.
The screams coming from the sky became more and more intensive, and a large number of artillery shells fell into the enemy command post and the surrounding regiment camps. The Japanese army had no time to evade and evacuate, and the surrounding area was surrounded by the 1st and 2nd Seshandinsk Infantry Regiments.
surrounded, and had enough troops to continue besieging the Japanese infantry brigade in the Mid-levels.
Kornilov's Far East Infantry Regiment had already eliminated a Japanese infantry brigade in front of Song Biao's eyes. According to the established tactics, it quickly blocked the way out to the northwest of the Japanese command post, set up obstacles on the spot, and began to intercept those who might come back.
Reinforced Japanese troops.
After three consecutive rounds of intensive artillery bombardment, Colonel von Eske finally launched a hand-to-hand attack. Two regiments, plus two battalions of Kornilov's 1st Far East Infantry Regiment, attacked the Japanese barracks with the entire army.
Although the Japanese army retained a full infantry regiment here, they suffered heavy casualties after continuous fire attacks, and their morale could not sustain such a night battle. What's more, Song Biao's infantry regiments had all gone through specialized infantry night battles.
Training, from weapons and equipment to technology, has been completely improved.
According to Song Biao's design, the shotgunners are at the front, and each gunner is equipped with two sabers. Behind them are the spearmen, who are already regular riflemen. Each regiment is specially equipped with two companies of shotguns and two sabers.
Special equipment for sabers, such that each company must have a platoon equipped with Cossack spears and regular rifles.
The lethality of a group of spearmen suddenly rushing out at night is amazing. There is a clear example of this in the Battle of Heigootai. Especially when the Japanese soldiers used the 33 posture to fight the bayonet with their backs, they directly raised their spears.
One stab at two is the truth.
The Japanese army was extremely unsuited to this kind of night attack. They lost the momentum they had previously been good at in night assassination attacks. They were quickly beaten to pieces. The firearms were of no great use at all. Who was ten meters away?
I don’t know, but I have to rely on cold weapons to fight, and when encountering dense opponents, I will just use shotguns.
The smoothness of the entire raid exceeded Song Biao's expectations to a large extent. The Japanese troops who were caught off guard were crushed everywhere. Before three o'clock in the morning, the Japanese military command post and the assisting infantry regiment were annihilated.
Shortly thereafter, Chen Wu and the Siberian Infantry Regiment also annihilated the Japanese reserve infantry regiment and occupied the artillery position. The 3rd Manchurian Infantry Regiment and the 5th Siberian Infantry Regiment collaborated to attack the Japanese baggage regiment and barracks from both sides.
Baiqingzhai where the reservoir area is located.
The dark night is always the domain of death.
How many people died in that night? In their ignorant sleep, in the horrifying confusion, in the screams of ghosts and wolves, in the hysterical madness, in the cowardly fear... they were killed as Japanese soldiers.
The light is gone.
Except for their families, no one cares about where they come from and where they are going.
At the moment of dawn, the earth was bright red..." Bright red blood stains covered everywhere in sight, on the branches, on the mud and rocks, on the walls, on the grass, on the flags, everywhere there were those who were already dark.
Blood stains and shocking cruelty.
The morning light of early summer fell in the mountains and forests, and there were corpses of Japanese soldiers everywhere. They were different from the Japanese soldiers that people were accustomed to. They were wearing black and blue military uniforms, but there were also some soldiers in the crowd who began to wear khaki spring and summer uniforms.
Soldiers in uniform.
Groups of them fell on the bloody ground, their bodies covered with various wounds, all caused by shotguns. Almost half of the soldiers died from shotgun attacks, although the Manchurian Infantry Division
There were only 3,700 shotguns installed, an average of one for every eleven soldiers..." But it was enough to kill tens of thousands of soldiers in the messy shotguns.
Their wounds were so hideous that half of their bodies were bruised and rotten in an instant, with blood holes all over their bodies and a burning smell.
Song Biao watched all this indifferently. As a frontline commander, he was happy that he led the New Manchuria Infantry Division to win the first large-scale battle victory since its establishment. He looked at thousands of Japanese, Russian and
He felt no sadness over the corpses of Chinese soldiers.
They are soldiers. The day they become soldiers, death is already our best destination.
Military service is a noble, sacred curse.
Hu Dalin and Lieutenant Colonel Martos have arrived at the front line with a large engineering regiment, and are building fortifications on the south, north, and east sides of Houxiaoyu and Qianxiaoyu. Song Biao fully absorbed the Japanese army... General Jingming
The lesson..." Gather the main positions together, especially if the opponent has lost its main artillery power.
Chen Wu's 3rd Manchurian Infantry Regiment and the 4th Siberian Infantry Regiment suffered the greatest sacrifices. They fought three fierce battles before and after. Without the support of artillery, even the mortars of each company could not be used. They completely fought hand-to-hand and captured three victories.
position, annihilated an artillery regiment, an infantry regiment and a half and a baggage regiment of the Japanese army, and seized a large amount of baggage.
Before the transport group could snatch away the baggage, the three infantry regiments had to defend on the spot to prevent the Japanese 11th Division and Reserve Division from counterattacking.
The 1st Reserve Division of the Japanese Fifth Army did not have an independent artillery regiment. Therefore, the Fifth Army could only form a half-sized artillery regiment. All artillery was concentrated in Houxiaoyu and the surrounding three artillery positions.
, all were seized at once.
This was probably the second largest damage to the Japanese Fifth Army. The first was the annihilation of the military headquarters. The Japanese Fifth Army, General Murakeaki and Chief of Staff Kojiro Uchiyama were all killed by a shell that accidentally hit them.
hiding spot.
A headquarters as large as a football field was hit with more than a thousand artillery shells. It was both an accident and an inevitable outcome that they were killed by the artillery shells.
Song Biao was right here at the Japanese military headquarters, looking at the captured Japanese combat map and confirming the deployment of various units of the Japanese Fifth Army. With this map alone and the level of Lieutenant Colonel Andrei Pajinov, he could basically
Bomb all the Japanese military units.
He has an intelligence officer who is proficient in Japanese who was transferred from the Russian Far East Army Staff Headquarters and is translating the information into Russian as quickly as possible..." After that, a liaison officer will be dispatched to quickly pass it to General Linevich of the First Army.
.
It is estimated that before the information was transmitted, they were already planning to carry out the bombardment here.
The 2nd Manchurian Infantry Regiment was in charge of cleaning the battlefield. Zhang Yahu happily carried the body of General Jingming on a stretcher and showed it to Song Biao with a smile.
Song Biao glanced at it indifferently and found that this man should be a relatively burly old man among the Japanese. He had just been promoted to Army General in January this year and died heroically. It is said that this man was the kind of commander who cared very much about his subordinates.
, no matter which unit he is in, he is deeply loved and praised by his subordinates.
What a pity, he is just a Japanese soldier.
Song Biao waved his hand lazily and motioned to Zhang Yahu to find a place to pack it up first and maybe return it to the Japanese army so that they could be sent back to the Tokyo Spiritualist Society for worship. Although this was the first time he had killed a Japanese general,
There was no special meaning in his heart that was not as satisfying as shooting a headshot with his own hands.
Major Tuvanier suddenly handed over a letter that was temporarily translated into Russian and showed it to Song Biao for review, and said: "Colonel, this is a letter from Dashanyan to... the shrewd general. The letter was only sent yesterday."
"oh?"
Song Biao was very surprised. He took out the translation and read it carefully. He was speechless.
The intelligence value of this letter is really too high.
Because he had a very deep personal relationship with... Jingming Date. In this letter, the Japanese commander-in-chief, General Oyama Iwa, not only emphasized the tasks of the Japanese Fifth Army, but also unexpectedly talked about some of his own concerns.
Although Dashanyan did not explicitly point it out in the letter, the meaning can be deduced, but after being translated into Russian, it is a bit difficult to deduce.
Song Biao then remembered that Jiang Fangzhen had returned from studying at the Japanese Military Academy, so he hurriedly took the manuscript over and called Jiang Fangzhen and Shu Fangde over to let them each read it over.
Because Jiang Fangzhen just returned from Japan, his Japanese is naturally very good, not to mention that Japanese writing basically copies Chinese.
This is a smart man, and he also has a certain knowledge of writing. After a rough inspection, he noticed the special information inside. He immediately took a closer look and waited for a while before saying to Song Biao: "Colonel, if
If nothing else, the Japanese army did not redeploy reserve forces to rebuild the Eighth Division. They just falsely claimed that the Eighth Division would be deployed in Liaoyang after reconstruction. In other words, the current base camp of the Japanese army should be completely empty. From Liaoyang
When we arrived at Benxi, there were no troops to garrison Dashanyan. They falsely claimed that the troops had been increased to 300,000, but in fact they were probably less than 270,000..."
Song Biao nodded slightly and asked Shu Fangde: "What do you think?"
Shu Fangde took the letter and read it carefully, and said: "Master, I have been back to China for a long time. I have been studying English hard in the past few years, and I have slightly forgotten Japanese. Even so, I can understand between the lines of Dashanyan.
With the kind of worry he revealed, he indeed falsely claimed that he had reorganized the 5th Division and the 8th Division as general reserves. In fact, he did not have any troops in Liaoyang and Benxi. Even if there were, they must have been improvised.
The new recruits are not worth mentioning at all, at least they are far inferior to the combat power of the regular Japanese divisions."
Song Biao nodded again cautiously and said: "Yes, you should find out now... all the letters from General Jingming and Chief of Staff Uchiyama Kojiro. Through systematic analysis, maybe you can understand the current strategic priorities and priorities of the Japanese army."
Dig up all the information on other military deployments, the sooner, the better, and ask Jiang Yanxing and Cai E to come over and help."
Jiang Fangzhen said: "Yes, master's seat."
Song Biao was very shocked..." On the one hand, he marveled at the courage and strategy of Dashanyan and the Japanese army, and their willingness to take such big risks for the sake of victory. On the other hand, he also realized that he could completely change his previous tactical plan and directly attack by surprise.
The headquarters of Dashanyan.
It is 60 kilometers away from the headquarters of the Japanese Manchurian Army in Liaoyang. If he uses his cavalry brigade to make a forcible raid, he can arrive within a day. The size of his transport group is beyond the establishment, which ensures that he
If they can arrive within two days and cut into Liaoyang, the Japanese army will be in chaos in the rear. The main forces will be without anyone to coordinate and command, and intelligence and information will not be exchanged with each other, making them all blind on the battlefield.
The ancients said that to capture the thief first, capture the king. Isn't this the truth?
Although Song Biao could not immediately confirm the total strength and deployment of the Japanese army, he had a strong premonition that his plan to surprise Liaoyang was very feasible, and when Jiang Fangzhen and others compiled the intelligence, he immediately sent Alexeyev to
Colonel Chibrusilov was invited to come over for discussion and asked Colonel Brusilov to quickly adjust his plan and prepare to lead the 1st Manchurian Cavalry Brigade to raid Liaoyang.
In order to ensure that there were enough ammunition and supplies to last for several days after the raid, Song Biao transferred Xue Changqing out and was solely responsible for leading a transport brigade to follow the cavalry brigade. If it was a very tight situation, Xue Changqing would also lead the transport brigade.
Soldiers rush into battle.
Just as the cavalry brigade was quickly reorganizing and hurriedly preparing for long-distance maneuver operations, Jiang Fangzhen and others had compiled enough information and came up with a very surprising intelligence.
It turned out that after the Eighth Division and the Fifth Division were severely damaged in succession, the Japanese Army General Staff Headquarters did have plans to quickly rebuild these two divisions and recruited a large number of retired non-commissioned officers, but most of these non-commissioned officers had retired before and after the Sino-Japanese War of 1884-1895.
, simply does not meet the needs of modern warfare.
Due to the shortage of funds, guns and ammunition, it is also difficult to recruit soldiers.
At this time, Gentaro Kodama, Chief of Staff of the Japanese Manchuria Army, persuaded the Minister of War to double the number of newly recruited soldiers and non-commissioned officers in Japan, and publicized it in newspapers. On the one hand, it boosted the public sentiment caused by the failure of the Battle of Kurokodai.
On the other hand, it can also deceive Tsarist Russia.
The Japanese army suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Heigootai. As the morale of the Russian army surged, the front defenses were readjusted and reinforcements increased. The decisive battle originally scheduled for March could no longer be held. As the Russian reinforcements arrived at Tunwan, the Japanese army continued to
It is claimed that there are 300,000 troops, which are fully capable of fighting.
In fact, the Japanese army failed to reorganize the Eighth Division, but only rebuilt the Fifth Division with reserve brigades. As the reserve force of the Fourth Army, the division was deployed less than thirty years away from Song Biao's area.
Kilometers, due to lack of training, cannot be used except as a last resort.
The Japanese army lied about having more than 30,000 troops, but in fact it still only had about 270,000 troops, and most of the troops were deployed on the right wing. The main artillery wing moved left and right between Ciyutuo and Tongerbao, which must have facilitated quick turns.
Right wing battlefield.
Coupled with the grasp of history, the entire Japanese army's combat plan is already ready to be revealed by Song Biao. Only half of the information can be sorted out, and the other half is based on speculation.!~!
