(Please remember) (Please remember) Song Biao immediately ordered the entire army to speed up the march, and personally led Zhang Yahu's 2nd Manchurian Infantry Regiment and the most elite 7th Siberian Infantry Regiment in a rush march to Liaoyang County to participate in the battle.
As soon as he arrived in Liaoyang County, Song Biao saw Lieutenant Colonel Martos who was commanding the troops to storm the county town. Two infantry regiments came with Song Biao in great force. Seeing this scene, Lieutenant Colonel Martos was quite surprised.
To be happy, he immediately stepped forward and saluted Song Biao on horseback: "Your Excellency, Commander, our army has captured the Japanese army's staff command headquarters and the southeastern county area. The Japanese army currently has less than 10,000 soldiers.
The troops are scattered on the west side of the Longding Mountain defense line and the Shoushan defense line, as well as on the west side of the county and the south camp area of the enemy's supplies terminal."
Song Biao hurriedly dismounted and asked Lieutenant Colonel Martos: "Do you have a map?"
Lieutenant Colonel Martos hurriedly took out a folded map from the map bag he carried, opened it and pointed it to Song Biao: "Your Excellency, Commander, I suggest you send troops to seize the Shoushan defense line as soon as possible, and then we can seize the Japanese army."
Nandaying defense area. Nandaying is located outside the southwest city of the county. It was formerly a garrison of the Qing army. Later, it was converted into a material warehouse area by our army. A large number of warehouses were built at that time. After the Japanese army occupied Liaoyang, they continued to use our army's layout, and the Nanda camp was
The battalion serves as the general station for supplies, and the general affairs station logistics brigade of about six battalions is deployed here, which has a certain scale of heavy firepower. Our 1st Infantry Regiment of the Far East tried to storm at night and failed to win."
Song Biao looked at it carefully and asked Lieutenant Colonel Martos: "How many combat troops are there in the Japanese army at present? Is the specific distribution clear?"
Lieutenant Colonel Martos pointed to the first mountain defense line on the map and said: "This area still retains the size of a Japanese infantry regiment, which should be the remaining strength of the original 1st reserve brigade. The Japanese troops currently gathered in the county are mainly
In addition to six to eight general station infantry brigades, as well as their staff officers and other non-combat troops, the Japanese army still has many troops in the Wangshuitai defense area in the north of the city and the Liumuling defense area in the west of the city. According to Brussi
According to intelligence estimates from Colonel Love's cavalry company's test attack and reconnaissance, the Japanese army also has an infantry regiment-sized force in this area, about 3,000 people, and may be constantly being transferred to the South Camp and Shoushan defense line to supplement the defense.
"
Song Biao looked at the map and thought for a moment, then called over Zhang Yahu and Major Neznamov of the 7th Siberian Infantry Regiment. After a brief discussion, he and Lieutenant Colonel Martos designed a new tactic.
Lieutenant Colonel Martos continued to command the troops to attack the Shoushan defense line, while Song Biao personally led the troops to attack along the southern suburbs of the county, directly attacking Nanda Camp, and sent a regiment to storm the northeastern position of Shoushan, and Martos
The lieutenant colonel advanced on two fronts.
After making a reasonable decision, Song Biao immediately led his troops to attack. At this time, the battle situation was at its most chaotic. The Japanese army still had some troops that had not been deployed at several outposts in the southern suburbs of the county, but the total was not enough.
The size of a battalion.
Song Biao sent the 7th Siberian Infantry Regiment with the most elite combat capability in front, quickly removed the sentry point, and headed straight for the Nanda Camp in the southwest corner of Liaoyang County.
It is still one kilometer away from the South Camp. I have already seen how huge the supply terminal is. The entire camp is located 600 meters to the west of the southwest corner of the county wall. Due to the huge scale of the Shoushan Defense Line, a section of it extends to
Near the county seat, the nearest highland to Nandaying is only 750 meters away.
In terms of overall scale, the Nanda Camp covers an area of about 350 acres. It is surrounded by a brick and cement city wall that is almost the same as the county seat. It is surrounded by barbed wire and guard towers. There are about a hundred material warehouses.
Song Biao concluded that the Japanese army's entire frontline material reserves could not be placed in the South Camp, but the South Camp must occupy at least half of it. Therefore, the Japanese army would rather lose Liaoyang County than abandon this place.
After capturing this southern camp, the Japanese army's battle was really in danger.
Song Biao made a decisive decision and personally led Chen Wu's 3rd Manchurian Infantry Regiment to seize the outpost battle. The 7th Siberian Infantry Regiment was responsible for storming the Shoushan defense line. Only by capturing the Shoushan defense line could he defeat the strength of several infantry regiments.
They all came over to storm the South Camp.
The troops stationed in the South Camp are the infantry brigade and transportation brigade of the Japanese Manchuria Army General Affairs Station. There are about six brigade, which is equivalent to two infantry regiments in size. Although they lack heavy firepower, they occupy the advantage of city defense and defense lines, and they want to take risks.
A forced charge will definitely result in relatively heavy casualties.
Considering that there would be a larger-scale tug-of-war and holding battle ahead, Song Biao hoped to save his troops as much as possible. He could not find a high point nearby, so he could only occupy dozens of abandoned houses as temporary strongholds, and first used the force in his hands to
Attack the opponent's wall with artillery fire, and use more fire from both sides to delay the opponent, preventing the South Camp from sending troops to support the Shoushan defense line.
Song Biao was very confident in his Russian generals and the New Manchuria Infantry Division that he personally supervised and trained. Most of these generals were young and middle-aged cadres selected by Commander-in-Chief Kuropatkin and the Russian Army Staff Department. Their usual performance was excellent.
very nice.
For example, Major Neznamov, who was already a major general before the October Revolution, was the most important military theorist in the early Soviet Union and established the development direction of the entire Soviet Red Army. This is also because although he was talented,
Although he could serve in the Soviet Red Army, he would not have the opportunity to lead the army in combat, so he had to devote all his energy to the study of military theory.
This is also a tragedy for soldiers.
In any case, Major Alexandrovich Neznamov's performance is the best among the three Siberian infantry regiment commanders, and is much higher than the others. Song Biao tried to combine the elites of multiple infantry regiments.
When he came together to train an infantry regiment capable of effectively executing Hutier's tactical attacks, he first selected this unusually shrewd and keen infantry major.
Hutier tactics are the prototype of modern infantry tactics developed by the German army in World War I. It requires infantry to effectively avoid strongholds and fortresses in the enemy's defense line, follow the barrage of artillery fire, and assault the enemy.
artillery positions and command systems.
Song Biao worked hard for this for a month. He transferred many batches of relatively outstanding non-commissioned officers from the Russian army, eliminated a group of non-commissioned officers, and built the 7th Siberian Infantry Regiment as a key sharp-sword unit.
This series of reforms is destined to shine in this Liaoyang raid. With the input of the 7th Siberian Infantry Regiment, the Japanese army was continuously cut open at multiple points along the entire Shoushan defense line, leaving Kornilov in the middle.
The school's 1st Far East Infantry Regiment took advantage of mortars and attacked with mortars and shotgun shells, seizing multiple highlands on the south side of the South Camp of the Japanese army, causing them to lose their ability to protect the flanks of the South Camp.
Although the Japanese army's defense in the Shoushan Fort area is still very strong and they have more mortars and cannons, their remaining troops are less than 1,000 men. After the main position on the east side fell, the remaining troops were under the command of a colonel.
Surrender under the leadership.
It was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and Song Biao finally had the opportunity to comprehensively attack Nanda Camp. Moreover, the main force had arrived in Liaoyang and was attacking the entire county under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Brusilov. In order to prevent the Japanese army from breaking through from the west, Bu
Lieutenant Colonel Rusilov mobilized the entire cavalry brigade out of the defense line in advance, quickly detoured to Jiahe Bridge, rushed through the northern suburbs of Liaoyang County, and directly surrounded the Japanese defense line from Liumuling to Wangshuitai.
When the war has developed to this point, the next step is to launch an all-out attack.
Song Biao immediately mobilized the 7th Siberian Infantry Regiment, which had the strongest attack capability, and the remaining 4th and 5th Infantry Regiments. Together with Zhang Yahu's 2nd Infantry Regiment, they stormed the Japanese Nanda Camp reservoir area.
After using artillery and ammunition packs to blast open part of the city wall on the east and south sides, and seizing the south gate of the Nandaying reservoir area, large troops swarmed up. Song Biao also immediately climbed up the city wall to overlook the entire camp.
The Japanese army would definitely be at a disadvantage if they wanted to engage in street fighting with Song Biao's troops. Song Biao had great advantages in mortars, shotguns and machine guns. When a large number of machine guns were mounted on the newly occupied city walls, the Japanese army organized a transportation of troop soldiers.
The stubborn defense of the infantry brigade almost became a one-sided massacre.
Before evening, the remaining Japanese garrison in South Camp were forced to surrender, and about two infantry brigades hurriedly evacuated the reservoir area. They bypassed the northern road and fled to the Liumuling position on the west side of the county.
Song Biao knew very well that the Japanese army's huge military pay must be in Nanda Camp. This was the reason why he desperately attacked Nanda Camp. But at this time, he had no time to see how much money he had intercepted, so he immediately started organizing his troops to do a good job.
Preparations for a night assault on the Shoushan position.
Silizhuang in the southern suburbs of Liaoyang was one of the four large grain depots set up by the Japanese army inside and outside Liaoyang County. In this place alone, the Japanese army had hoarded four million kilograms of grain. Song Biao held a temporary meeting in the Sihe compound here.
held a combat meeting.
Several kerosene lamps were lit in the room. Song Biao gathered all the staff officers together with Lieutenant Colonel Martos to discuss the next move of the Japanese army. Colonel Alexeevich Brusilov was at Liumuling.
The outer area was densely fortified to prevent Japanese troops from breaking out at night.
After sorting out the battle reports submitted by various ministries, Tuwanier and Jiang Fangzhen confirmed that the remaining Japanese troops in the county should be less than 3,000 people, and there were still more than 4,000 people on the western defense line in the Liumuling area. These troops
It's all put together piecemeal, and its actual combat effectiveness is definitely not as good as two infantry regiments.
Song Biao took over the half-Chinese and half-Russian summary and looked through it carefully. With the arrival of the main force, the Japanese army suffered heavy losses in street fighting in the county. They could only occupy the west area of the city, which was less than 14% of the entire county.
.
The casualties of the Manchurian Infantry Division are not to be underestimated. As of two hours ago, the total casualties of each division were 3,372. The three temporary field hospitals set up in Longding Mountain, Lushan, and Confucian Temple were all overcrowded.
When Song Biao put down the two summaries, Colonel Martos suggested: "Your Excellency, Commander, we must launch an attack as soon as possible. First, annihilate the Japanese troops in Liumuling and Wangshuitai. There is only one Japanese army stationed in Wangshuitai.
Infantry brigade, but their will to resist is very stubborn. The Liumuling defense line is crucial to the Japanese army, and they have not given much reinforcement. Our army should launch a strong attack on two points at the same time at night and defeat them regardless of the cost. We will continue tomorrow
While clearing out the Japanese troops in the county, raise enough manpower to strengthen the restoration and reinforcement of the surrounding defense lines. The Japanese army cannot tolerate the loss of Liaoyang. This is the key to the entire Japanese army of 270,000 people. Maybe within two days, they will launch
We must race against time to launch a comprehensive storm attack, and we must not waste time. If they do not attack at night and we do not organize a storm attack, then a whole day will be wasted, and we will have to organize a storm again tomorrow."
Song Biao nodded slightly and said: "Today at 11 o'clock in the evening, we will storm the Japanese Liumuling defense line. The 1st and 2nd Seshandinsk Infantry Regiments will be the main attackers, and the 3rd Manchurian Infantry Regiment and the 4th Siberian Infantry Regiment will be responsible for the two-wing attack.
Pay attention to the possibility of the enemy hiding machine guns. The infantry charge must be dispersed. Make full use of the one-kilometer-long gentle slope in front of it to spread out the troops, and send small groups of troops to penetrate and assault as much as possible... This attack is
Let me take charge personally!"
He was still worried about letting so many troops be handed over to others to command the raid. If the 8th Division's old mistakes were repeated, he would be ruined here. No matter how much money, food and ammunition were in Nanda Camp, they would not return in the end.
All his.
Immediately, he and Lieutenant Colonel Martos ordered: "You know the defense line of Liaoyang best, right? Start working on this aspect now, sort out the Japanese defense line information and other related information as soon as possible, so that
Hu Dalin's engineering battalion started to restore fortifications in the area of Wangshuitai and Jiahe Bridge in advance. Seize the time and be sure to be ready to meet the Japanese counterattack within two to three days."
After saying this, he gave instructions to Jiang Fangzhen and others in Chinese to emphasize.
Everyone paused one after another, stood up and saluted in unison, and then hurriedly left the conference room. They went out to organize their troops and prepare to participate in the front-line assault that the commander-in-chief would personally take charge of in the evening.
After everyone else left, Zhang Yahu, who was supposed to attend the meeting, walked in mysteriously and quickly in a low-key manner, and whispered in Song Biao's ear: "Master's seat has been found."
Song Biao immediately stood up, took Zhang Yahu alone to the small room next door, and asked: "Have the numbers been counted?"
Zhang Yahu said: "Not yet. The Japanese army's military pay warehouse is in the No. 6 warehouse. Before they surrendered, they sent people to pour two iron barrels of kerosene there. It almost burned down. We were in a hurry and went up there.
They were all detained. If the school officer leading the team had not been killed urgently, they would have been burned. The kerosene has not evaporated completely yet, and I have never dared to light a lamp to take inventory. Staff officer Cai E was found.
Their account books are said to contain more than 30 million yen, unless there is any accident."
Song Biao nodded slightly and asked, "Have the windows been opened for ventilation?"
Zhang Yahu said: "I opened them all. I took advantage of the time when the sky was not completely dark to move all the paper notes to a clean room. I guess I can count them on site after a while. Those silver coins are not afraid of burning. However, there is one thing
It's weird. When I was emptying my room to dry paper bills, I found another batch of ruble bills in a warehouse that was supposed to be empty. The amount was really quite large, and I didn't have time to count the details. Cai E said there were none in the account.
