It's just that for this battle, future evaluations will be made in the future, but the current battle situation between Redong and Liaoxi is giving Li Mingfeng and Lieutenant General Jiujin Qianping quite a headache, even though these two are both seriously injured. After many battles, it seemed like I didn’t know what to do for a while.
The two opponents coincidentally planned to encircle the point for reinforcements. As a result, before this point even started, the battle for reinforcements started first. The entire original battle plan was now disrupted, and the entire battlefield became a mess. Facing the current battle situation, both of them were asking themselves how their originally good plan could end up in this situation, and at the same time they couldn't help but feel a little lucky.
If it hadn't been for this battle, no one would have noticed the opponent's offensive. It was actually a hidden arrow hidden behind the open gun. It was not until the troops he sent out to sneak attack that he and the enemy attacked his own troops, and they fought in the west of Jianping. After an encounter, I realized that the enemy was doing exactly the same thing as me, and was also sending troops to sneak attack on me.
As for the Jianping East Battlefield, that battle was not considered an encounter, because the Anti-Japanese Alliance had already learned about the Japanese sneak attack plan from the deserters of the Pseudo-Iron Stone Forces, so it was not considered an encounter. At most, it could only be regarded as the Japanese army trying to steal chickens. , but in the end, the chicken was not stolen, but he was bitten by the enemy.
But this battle in the Sihan River Basin was unprepared by both sides, and neither side had planned it, but it was actually an encounter. The start of this battle meant that both sides' sneak attack plans were completely exposed. came out, and the outcome of this battle had such a far-reaching impact that no one expected at the time.
This is very unexpected for Li Mingfeng and Jiujin Zhenping. In the original deployment of the two people, no one expected this situation to occur, so how to deal with this situation became two opponents. The first issue to be resolved between them was whether the original plan to encircle the point was still carried out as planned, which became the most difficult choice for the two commanders.
After much hesitation, Li Mingfeng decided to follow part of the original plan, keep the local battle situation unchanged in response to the ever-changing situation, continue the original plan, attack Jianping County, and take advantage of the entire battle situation of the Japanese army. All the Japanese army's attempts have been exposed, and its reinforcements The main force was contained in the overall situation in the mountainous area northeast of Jianping County, trying to capture Jianping City in one go.
Leveling the front line with Kulun in the northeast, completely driving the Kwantung Army out of this salient, and then posing a threat to the deep areas of western Liaoning, and taking Jianping is equivalent to completely driving out the Japanese army in Redong, except for the Chaoyang Zone. Taking Jianping County is equivalent to completely taking over the main line of Nuruerhu Mountain, which can provide a very good progress base for the next step in the future and completely disrupt the Japanese army's deployment in western Liaoning.
As long as Jianping County is captured, the remaining Japanese troops around the Sidaoyingzi Mountains, which have become isolated, will either have to retreat, or they will only be annihilated. In this way, all his chess pieces in the entire battle, Everything was completely revitalized, so after several considerations, Li Mingfeng finally decided to keep the original plan to attack Jianping.
However, his most direct opponent, Lieutenant General Yokoyama Shizuo, commander of the Japanese Eighth Division, who was solely responsible for commanding the counterattack in the Western Liaoning battlefield, immediately gave up the army commander's original plan to attack Xinhui, but he did not follow the plan. As Li Mingfeng judged, he used the troops originally used to attack Xinhui to return to Ye Baishou's aid.
Instead, the troops originally used to attack Xinhui City were immediately diverted to the eastern mountainous area of Jianping, trying to concentrate their forces to first defeat the anti-alliance forces fighting with his 31st Regiment. This time the goal was changed, Shizuo Yokoyama decided to He was very determined, and he believed that as long as he could completely defeat the enemy in the northeast battlefield of Jianping, he might have a chance to reverse the situation.
However, although he did not transfer troops to return to Ye Baishou, while transferring troops to the west of Xinhui battlefield, he also transferred four infantry squadrons to strengthen the defensive operations on the mountain front of Sidaoyingzi, trying to end the battle on the Northeast battlefield of Jianping Before, hold this protrusion firmly.
For the current Lieutenant General Shizuo Yokoyama, unless he completely gives up this counterattack and is willing to risk turning the two regiments on the Xinhui battlefield and being attacked from the front and rear after entering the Northeast battlefield of Jianping, then Increasing the strength of the Sidaoyingzi Mountain garrison was an inevitable choice when he decided to shift the focus of operations to the battlefield of Jianping's northeastern mountainous area.
At present, fierce fighting is going on in the eastern mountainous area of Jianping. The direct connection between Sidaoyingzi Mountain and Jianping City has actually been cut off. After the Anti-Japanese Alliance penetrated into the northeastern mountainous area of Jianping, the commanding heights of Sidaoyingzi Mountain are actually at the new level. Under the attack of the Anti-Japanese Alliance in the eastern mountainous areas of Hui and Jianping, it is currently the support point of the entire battlefield east of Jianping County.
After he gave up the attack on Xinhui County and shifted the focus of his attack to the Northeast Battlefield of Jianping, the Sidaoyingzi Mountain became a barrier between the Northeast Battlefield of Jianping and Xinhui County controlled by the Anti-Japanese Alliance. Once the Sidaoyingzi Mountains If Yingzi Mountain is lost, then he will be surrounded in the northeast battlefield of Jianping.
Because the enemy forces on the Xinhui battlefield can quickly join the nearby Jianping Northeast battlefield at any time, the first thing Lieutenant General Shizuo Yokoyama did after deciding to give up the attack on Xinhui was to increase the number of attacks on the Fourth Camp. The mountain has now actually become the defensive force of the salient.
Then they mobilized troops to reinforce the battlefield in the northeast of Jianping County. In any case, they must first defeat an anti-resistance alliance and try to control the initiative on the entire battlefield as much as possible. As for reinforcements on the battlefield of Ye Baishou, Lieutenant General Shizuo Yokoyama believes that he is now It's beyond our reach, so let's leave that direction to Lieutenant General Washizu Seppei to save him the headache.
At this moment, Lieutenant General Washi Jin, who was commanding the rear, learned about the changes in the front-line battle situation, especially after learning that an enemy force had appeared in the southwest mountainous area of Jianping, and that the raid force he had deployed had lost contact. After Lieutenant General Shizuo Yokoyama made the latest decision, the rear also immediately adjusted the overall deployment.
He quickly dispatched two infantry squadrons from the Chaoyang and Beipiao garrison to take trains to reinforce Ye Baishou, because he knew that the enemy's appearance in the western mountains of Jianping was definitely not an isolated action. Ye Baishou was Jin Following the key points on the railway, once Ye Baishou is lost, the entire western Liaoning will be completely passive. At that time, the Anti-Japanese Alliance that has penetrated into western Liaoning will be able to advance or retreat, and there will be considerable room for maneuver.
Although Ye Baishou is located on the flank of his entire western Liaoning defense line, the geographical location is important and must not be lost. No matter how tight the military strength is, Ye Baishou's defenders must be increased. Otherwise, with Ye Baishou's only three squadrons of defenders, once the city of Han is surrounded The enemies in the river basin moved southward and were unable to compete.
The battlefield in Manchuria is not the battlefield within the China Pass, and the resistance alliance in the Northeast is not the armed forces within the China Pass. A Japanese brigade, even if it concentrates the strength of a division, may not be able to solve the problem in a short time. You must know that on the battlefield in China, the Imperial Army has never An infantry brigade was completely wiped out.
And this brigade was actually wiped out by the enemy in just a few hours, which is enough to show that the enemy's combat effectiveness in the Sihan River Basin is strong. In the words of General Umezu Yoshijiro, it is very likely that it will be the main force of the Anti-Alliance. , Under this situation, he had to be wary of the enemy's rapid southward attack on Ye Baishou's line after solving the Sihan River Basin.
While Lieutenant General Washizu Jinhei was constantly adjusting his deployment in the rear, Lieutenant General Yokoyama Shizuo terminated his attack on Shine, completed the turn in the shortest time, and crossed the main force of the four campsite mountain, and with In the Jianping Northeastern Battlefield, the Anti-Alliance Headquarters were fighting fiercely on the front line of Xiaofangshen and the Wei family shack.
Li Mingfeng's offensive against Jianping was frustrated, and even his plan to capture Jianping in order to level the entire front failed. In desperation, Li Mingfeng could only temporarily give up the plan to capture Jianping, and move the troops on the Jianping battlefield The participating troops went to the northeast battlefield of Jianping.
The reason why the Jianping battlefield was fought like this was not because the participating troops on the Jianping battlefield did not fight hard, nor because the troops fought cowardly, but because the Japanese defenders of Jianping pulled all the civilians in the city to the top of the city to use as human shields and The hostages allowed the attacking troops to clear out the outer strongholds, and the final siege operation was like a tiger eating the sky and having nowhere to eat.
Let's fight. There are ordinary people everywhere on this city. If a shell is fired, there will be many more civilians killed or injured than the Japanese army. If we force the city to be attacked, it will be a political mistake. If we don't fight, the superior's orders are there. The brigade commander and political commissar of the advancing army who commanded the attack on Jianping County hesitated several times, but finally gave up attacking the city directly and reported the situation instead.
Looking at the crying people on the city top, there is really no way to fight this kind of battle. We are all born from the flesh of our hearts. Those on the city top are all compatriots. Under such circumstances, who can attack the city? , even if he wanted to attack the city by force, the troops below would not agree.
After receiving the report from the Jianping attacking troops, Li Mingfeng sighed. Faced with this situation, he had no choice but to forcibly order the troops to attack the city. That was not rescuing the compatriots in the occupied area, but blatant killing, no matter what. No matter how urgent the situation is, the people's army cannot ignore the life and death of the people. This is not just a mistake.
In desperation, Li Mingfeng had no choice but to give up his original idea of seizing Jianping City. In addition to leaving some troops to continue besieging Jianping, the main force outside Jianping City immediately moved northeast to reinforce the Northeast battlefield of Jianping. The troops were divided into two groups. All the way along the Fanjiazhuangzi line, it penetrated into the battlefield in the northeast direction, using Greater Wollongong as the starting base for the attack, and along the Wuzhangzi and Shuangmiao lines, it penetrated directly into the flanks of the Japanese reinforcements.
In the original plan, the troops besieging Jianping County would be divided into two groups after seizing Jianping County, one to reinforce the battlefield in the northeastern mountainous area, and the other along the lines of Greater Wollongong, Jiayingzi, Qianjiawa, and Huangjia Sheng. , penetrated directly into the territory of Chaoyang, and completed the four-Hancheng River battle with a brigade on the western front, forming a coordination between the two wings and heading south side by side.
However, the despicable tactics of the Japanese army in Jianping County can only allow him to temporarily control Jianping County, and then transfer the troops on the Jianping battlefield to other directions to participate in the war. At the moment, he cannot use a piece of equipment that can be called sophisticated, and The organized brigade, with a total strength of 5,000 people, was placed under the Jianping County City and had nothing to do, facing the Japanese troops on top of the city.
After receiving a telegram from the brigade commander of the advancing army that he had moved south to attack Ye Baishou's outskirts, Li Mingfeng hesitated and ordered the Xinhui defenders to leave one battalion to defend Xinhui on the premise that the Japanese army had changed their deployment and gave up the attack on Xinhui. In order to cope with emergencies.
The main force immediately secretly went south, avoiding all Japanese strongholds, and went straight into the Beipiao Coal Mine. The focus was on the workers in the Beipiao Coal Mine. If possible, they would directly select Beipiao as the target of the second phase of the attack. Lee Myung-bak's final The purpose was not simply to go deep behind enemy lines, disrupt the overall deployment of the Japanese army, and cooperate with the Western Front troops to attack Ye Baishou.
It's not because Beipiao is located exactly between Chaoyang and Fuxin, the two key deployment directions of the Japanese army in western Liaoning, and is the county closest to the Jianping battlefield. Attacking there can cut off the connection between the Japanese troops in Chaoyang and Fuxin. He also has Another purpose is the large number of workers in Beipiao Coal Mine.
