The 174th chapter beacon fire group policy mountain (6)
After receiving Guo Bingxun's order to turn, Wang Guangyu succeeded in the first battle and defeated the blockade of a squadron of Lin Fang's detachment of the Fourth Division. Wang Guangyu, who had driven a deep wedge into the joint between the Fourth Division and the 44th Regiment, did not.
Without the slightest hesitation, in addition to leaving one battalion with two independent companies to contain Lin Fang's detachment, the main force completed the turn in the shortest possible time in accordance with Guo Bingxun's requirements. [.Com text] The firepower of an attached field artillery company
With support, they launched a fierce attack on the 44th Regiment from the southern flank.
Years of guerrilla experience against a weak enemy have allowed Wang Guangyu to develop a stable character. Although he didn't know why Guo Bingxun changed the battle plan just after the battle started, he knew that something must have changed in Du Kaishan. Because the incident occurred
The person who sent the telegram was the chief of staff who was commanding the frontal operations, not the commander who was waiting in the north at the moment.
In order to break through the Japanese positions in the shortest possible time and fulfill Guo Bingxun’s orders, it was also because the terrain in the south was wider than that of Du Kaishan, where two mountains sandwiched a ditch, where he attacked from the front. Wang Guangyu did not do the same as Du Kaishan, because
Due to terrain restrictions, troops could only be deployed one by one. Instead, both battalions were launched into the attack at once.
Although he devoted almost all the forces at hand to the attack, he knew the gap in the quality of individual soldiers when facing the 11th Division, an old Japanese division, so he used it without losing flexibility.
Still playing very steadily.
He did not adopt offensive tactics like pushing a line of skirmishers, nor did he adopt Du Kaishan's fierce attack, which was similar to a desperate fight. Instead, he adopted a combination of strong attack and penetration under the cover of artillery fire.
, a multi-channel attack tactic that combines frontal attack with small-scale penetration to detour its flanks.
Wang Guangyu's focus was very accurate. Under his organization, a group of troops fought with ease. Only half an hour after completing the turn, the southern flank of the 44th Regiment's defense line was torn apart.
After tearing apart the Japanese defensive positions, Wang Guangyu, in addition to leaving one unit to expand the results, personally led the rest of the troops to attack in three groups and followed Guo Bingxun's order to forcibly penetrate deeply into the Japanese positions.
The rescue of Sima Feng was just that his regiment was interspersed deep into the Japanese army and was already near the original headquarters of the 44th Regiment of the Japanese Army. When they were preparing to carry out a cover-up against the 44th Regiment in accordance with Guo Bingxun's order, they heard
There was something wrong with the gunfire coming over there, so a company of rescue troops was dispatched.
Compared with Du Kaishan, who was in a hard fight at the beginning, Wang Guangyu's progress was smooth. But Liu Changshun, who also fought smoothly at the beginning, was quite speechless. His second regiment fought smoothly at the beginning, taking advantage of the attention of the Japanese troops on the northern front.
The opportunity to be attracted by the middle road and the south road, especially the middle road, defeated the front-line puppet Manchukuo army in one fell swoop, and took advantage of the situation to tear open the Japanese defense line and penetrate deep into the Japanese army's positions.
What he didn't expect was that the follow-up progress would be extremely unsatisfactory. After tearing apart the Japanese defense line on the northern route, before he could break through and fight, the Japanese counterattack had already begun. The Japanese troops from the two squadrons who counterattacked joined together.
A Japanese squadron on the second line of defense tightly entangled his main force.
Liu Changshun had no problem with fighting one squadron of Japanese troops with two battalions. But three squadrons of Japanese troops came at once. Although he was not overwhelmed, he still fell into a hard fight.
Yang Zhen was not surprised by the unfavorable progress of Liu Changshun. The 11th Division is a veteran division of the Japanese army, and its combat style is definitely not good among the Japanese army. Although the Battle of Songhu the year before last was not fought smoothly, as a
One of the first two divisions of the Shanghai Expeditionary Force formed by the Japanese army was able to fight a stalemate with hundreds of thousands of squadrons, including almost all the elites of the Central Army, before Japanese reinforcements arrived. Although there were aircraft and heavy artillery,
The support of warships definitely shows its fierce combat effectiveness.
Of course, this is due to the fact that the Chinese Army has backward equipment, no air and sea control, lack of heavy artillery and infantry artillery, and poor infant-tank coordination capabilities. However, the combat effectiveness of the 11th Division cannot be underestimated, although its qualifications are not as good as those of the 4th Division.
The regiment leader, but the real combat effectiveness and strong style are far beyond what the traders of the Fourth Division can compare with.
One of his regiments, not to mention his current half-baked army, even if the Central Army comes to take over an army, it may not be able to defeat it in a short time. If he replaces his old army, the 18th Group Army will be even worse equipped.
, even if all three divisions were concentrated, I am afraid that they would not be able to compete in a regular face-to-face battle. The reason why I am able to fight like this now, in addition to the relatively excellent battle planning, is to specifically take advantage of the Japanese army and adopt some tactics.
adjustment.
If the 11th Division and other veteran divisions of the Japanese army were so easy to defeat, then in the Battle of Songhu, all the so-called German weapon divisions of the Central Army who had received new training were concentrated, as well as the Gui Army, the Hunan Army, and almost all the best of the direct lineage of the National Government and miscellaneous forces.
Isn't it too unfair that the army of 100,000 people lost?
In the past, Liu Changshun was able to break through the first line of defense in a short period of time. Rather than saying that the combat effectiveness of his troops reached the level of the Japanese army, it is better to say that this guy took advantage of Du Kaishan. If it were not for the fact that most of the Japanese army's attention was on the front
Being attracted by Du Kaishan, who was the first to attack from the front, how could he have made such great progress?
However, Yang Zhen, who had been observing the battlefield situation with a telescope, frowned deeply when he discovered that the Japanese army had suddenly brought out two squadrons of troops to counterattack his side. Judging from the battle situation sent by Guo Bingxun,
Whether it was a breakthrough on the front or a breakthrough on the southern front, the Japanese army did not invest so many troops in launching a counterattack. It only increased some troops on the second-line defense. Why was it so heavy on the north alone?
Putting down the telescope in his hand, Yang Zhen pulled over the map and carefully considered what secrets there were that would make the 44th Regiment pay so much attention to the northern route?
Ma Chunsheng, who was also observing the battle situation, saw Yang Zhen's frown. After thinking for a moment, he understood what Yang Zhen was thinking about. Ma Chunsheng, who understood what the young commander was thinking, couldn't help but smile. The commander
He has a quick mind, quick reactions, and loves to use his brain to think. Although he is still a little immature when it comes to military use, his vision for seeing problems is definitely first-rate.
But sometimes, it may not be beneficial to think too much, because it is easy to overthink and make things more complicated. There are many things that can often be solved and analyzed in the simplest way. Once you think about it,
Maybe it would be complicated. The Japanese army's actions to defend the northern front may have made this young commander feel a little abnormal.
After thinking for a while, Ma Chunsheng walked up to Yang Zhen, clicked his fingers on the map where the 44th Regiment joined the 3rd Cavalry Brigade, and said: "The Japanese army fought back so hard, they just hit the enemy.
Reopen the connection with the 3rd Cavalry Brigade. It is obvious that the 44th Regiment does not trust the 4th Division."
"I don't know whether they did this because of the character of the Fourth Division or for other reasons. But one thing I can be sure of is that the 44th Regiment did this to ensure its own lifeline or to protect itself.
route of retreat. It is obvious that their hope is in the 3rd Cavalry Brigade if necessary."
When Ma Chunsheng said this, Yang Zhen immediately understood. The 44th Regiment and the 4th Division jointly participated in the siege of Qunce Mountain. They had been attacking for several days and had been fighting side by side for several days. What effect did the 4th Division have on the 4th Division?
Naturally, he knew who he was. Once he was in danger, Lin Fang's detachment from the 4th Division might leave him and run away. Compared with the 4th Division, the 3rd Cavalry Brigade was naturally more worthy.
Trust some.
Is it just to ensure his own retreat? Thinking of this, Yang Zhen raised his head and looked at Ma Chunsheng opposite him uncertainly. After being silent for a long time, he said: "Do you mean that they have already retreated at this moment?"
meaning?"
In response to Yang Zhen's rhetorical question, Ma Chunsheng shook his head and said: "This can't be seen now. If we retreat easily, it will not be in line with the Japanese army's usual proactive style of seeking war. But we can open up the connection with the Third Cavalry Brigade.
, it will definitely benefit the 44th Regiment without any harm."
Ma Chunsheng's answer made Yang Zhen frown, but he didn't ask any more questions. After looking at the map for a while, Yang Zhen stood up, threw the pencil in his hand on the map and said, "I'll meet him at the chief of staff's place.
I am here, and the battle status of the other two regiments has to be forwarded to the chief of staff, so it is a bit inconvenient to command the overall situation. I will leave it to you and Liu Changshun to command here."
At this point, Yang Zhen pondered for a moment and then said: "You will be responsible for the overall responsibility. If necessary, you can take over Liu Changshun's command. I only want one result, even if the two battalions of the Second Regiment are wiped out, it will never be possible.
Let the 44th Regiment join the 3rd Cavalry Brigade."
Ma Chunsheng was also surprised by Yang Zhen's idea of letting him take charge of the overall situation. After a few days of contact, he already knew that this young officer was very courageous. But he did not expect that his courage would be so great that he would let someone who had only joined the army for just a few days.
He was responsible for commanding such an important task that affected the overall situation. Moreover, his words made it clear that he wanted to eat up the 44th Regiment in one go.
After hesitating for a moment, Ma Chunsheng said: "Here is still under the command of Commander Liu, and I have full authority to assist him. I have only been in the army for a short time, and I might not be convinced by taking over the overall situation rashly. It is more important for me to serve as a good staff officer for Commander Liu. In addition, Commander
Commander, I suggest not to fight tooth and nail. Judging from the current situation, if our casualties in this battle are too large, it will be extremely difficult to replenish troops. I suggest that we should focus on defeating the battle."
Ma Chunsheng's suggestion made Yang Zhen shake his head and said: "When my old army was fighting, there was a saying that it is better to cut off one finger than to hurt ten of them. Although you have not been in the army for a long time, you are also a veteran. An army has strong combat effectiveness.
The weak point is there, I don’t need to tell you."
"Although we currently do not have the strength to fight head-on with the entire Kwantung Army, we can bleed them bit by bit and gradually weaken their strength. If we wipe out one of their squadrons, we will kill the backbone of one of their squadrons. To wipe out one of their brigade
, which means they have to retrain a group of new recruits. The more officers and veterans they have experienced for many years are eliminated, the more their combat effectiveness will decrease."
Regarding Yang Zhen's idea, Ma Chunsheng said indifferently: "I understand your idea, but you must also understand that the entire Anti-Japanese War has been going on for two years, and the National Government has suffered heavy losses, but for Japan or the Japanese army,
He said, it is far from breaking the muscles and bones. We have tried our best, and people can only reach in and half-stretch themselves."
"Although the Japanese army does not form new divisions, its veterans should be discharged from the army normally. The Japanese army itself has a complete training system and mobilization system. At least the soldiers they supplement are stronger than those recruited from the Japanese army.
More. Since you formed the army, you have fought several times with the pioneering regiments in Manchuria, which are composed of so-called local soldiers. What do you think of the combat effectiveness of these people? When necessary, just a recruitment order is needed.
These people are another group of veterans when they put on military uniforms."
"Unless the Japanese army is fully involved in a full-scale war like World War I and expands its troops on a large scale. Otherwise, under the complete mobilization system of the Japanese army, your tactic of cutting off one of its fingers may not have such a big effect.
Effect. Why do you have to bear the price that we may not be able to bear now?"
Regarding Ma Chunsheng's disapproval of his idea of completely eating up the 44th Regiment, Yang Zhen shook his head and said: "Officers and soldiers who have never seen blood or fought in a war can never be called warriors. Exercise grounds and training grounds
It can never replace the battlefield. If you kill a group of veterans with actual combat experience, there will be fewer of them. Without a backbone, it will be much more difficult for the little devils to form an army with the same combat effectiveness. The tradition of the army has always been to rely on veterans
Passed down."
Having said this, Yang Zhen looked at the sky that was already approaching dusk, took the reins handed over by Xiao Huzi, turned on his horse, and said to Ma Chunsheng: "I have to go on my way, so I won't say more. What's going on here?
You need to know more about it. If there is any situation, report it to the chief of staff first. Have confidence in yourself. It’s only an hour’s journey from here to Qunce Mountain. I will rush there as soon as possible.”
Although he was not very familiar with horseback riding, in order to meet up with Guo Bingxun as soon as possible, Yang Zhen still rode fast along the way. In order to gain time, he even passed through the northwest corner of the battlefield where the fierce fighting was taking place. When Yang Zhen arrived at Qunce Mountain, Guo Bingxun
When he arrived at the headquarters, he had already received the report, and Guo Bingxun, who had been worried about him, breathed a sigh of relief.
After carefully looking at Yang Zhen and not finding that he was injured, Guo Bingxun said with a bitter smile: "Commander, you can't live in peace. With only two guards, you dare to cross directly from the battlefield. You
Isn't this a little too courageous? If the commander-in-chief finds out about this, he will be scolded."
"You are the military commander of this unit and the commander of the entire unit. It's only an hour's journey, so why would you take such a big risk? Your riding skills are not good, and you only have two guards with you. What if you are on the road?
What should I do if something goes wrong? Who will command the troops?"
Regarding Guo Bingxun's half-complaining, half-concerned words, Yang Zhen smiled and said: "I also want to bring a cavalry regiment to escort him, but we also have to have so many cavalry. Liu Changshun has more than ten war horses, so I will take them all."
What should I do with him? Besides, it’s not like you haven’t seen me behind me before. What’s there to be afraid of a few lone Japanese soldiers?”
Regarding Yang Zhen's defense, Guo Bingxun said seriously: "Old Yang, you are the highest military commander of this army, and your every move is related to the life and death of the army. If you don't say anything else, you are responsible for the army.
You shouldn't take this risk. This is a battlefield, and even a missed bullet will kill someone. If accidents can be expected, how can we have accidents?"
Looking at Guo Bingxun with a serious face, Yang Zhen knew that he was really angry and said quickly: "Lao Guo, I know I was wrong. I must pay attention to it next time. When this battle is over, you can criticize me properly.
I am in a hurry. The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. I did not carry a radio, and I was almost deaf and blind along the way. What should I do if the battle situation changes? It is precisely because I am the military commander that I rush back.
.”
Hearing that Yang Zhen realized his mistake, Guo Bingxun did not dwell on it anymore, but immediately introduced Yang Zhen to the situation during his absence. After returning to the headquarters, Guo Bingxun laid out the latest map of the battlefield situation:
"Commander, there have been new changes in the civil war situation during this period."
"Wang Guangyu's regiment, which broke through the Japanese defenses on the southern front and was penetrating deep into the Japanese army, was making good progress. At this time, it had surrounded a section of the Japanese army, including Colonel Taro Kawama, captain of the 44th Regiment. Du, who was making a frontal assault,
After breaking through the second line of defense of the Japanese army in front of them, Kaishan was advancing towards the north to attack the flanks and rear of the Japanese army who were fighting fiercely with Liu Changshun."
"However, due to the extremely tenacious resistance of the Japanese army in the past, and due to terrain restrictions, the three regiments, which could only invest one battalion one battalion, suffered heavy casualties. Now only one battalion is still intact. The intensity of its attacks has dropped rapidly. And Liu Changshun
At this time, the Second Regiment was still in a fierce battle with the Japanese troops of the three squadrons in front of them, and there was little progress."
"Among the two Japanese troops on the periphery, the Third Cavalry Brigade discovered that our army had cut off its connection with the four surrounding Japanese troops.
