Having said this, Yang Zhen looked at Ma Chunsheng, who looked a little downcast after hearing what he said: "In order to destroy this Japanese heavy artillery unit, our aviation force once dispatched a large number of bombers to attack Qingshan Pass after the battle started.
Bombing was carried out on the front line. However, because the Japanese army's fortifications were too strong and our army lacked large-tonnage bombs and bombers, the effect was never obvious."
"The first section of the reconnaissance brigade directly under me, which penetrated deeply into the Japanese army, tried many times to destroy the heavy artillery regiment from the ground after the air raid failed. However, because the Japanese army deployed an infantry and cavalry brigade around the heavy artillery regiment,
, two engineering squadrons, and a mixed infantry and cavalry guard force that can be supported at any time by two tank squadrons on the front line of Shantun behind them. The security is extremely tight and it is impossible to get close at all."
"This is why I just reminded you to pay attention to the Japanese army using water to replace troops. Many senior generals of the Japanese army are very familiar with China's history. There are many examples in Chinese history of digging embankments to release water and using water to replace troops. It cannot be said to be countless.
, but there are quite a few practical examples.”
"During the Wuhan Battle of 1938, in order to stop the Japanese attack, the Nationalist Government once dug a Yellow River embankment along the Huayuankou line to release water, using water instead of troops to block the Japanese army from marching south to Wuhan, causing serious losses to the Japanese army. It is believed that
They have personally experienced the power of floods."
"It is true that when the Japanese army has the upper hand, the Japanese generals who are always conceited and have absolute firepower advantage will naturally not use such dirty tactics. But under the critical situation of the war situation, the Japanese army's gambler character
Said, they will definitely do it."
"They can even use ordinary people as human shields. What else can't they do? For these inhumane guys, they created a man-made flood in Buyeo to stop our troops.
The pace of attack is a tactic that can save troops and achieve huge results, so why would they not use it?"
"Old Ma, don't underestimate the madness of the Japanese. When necessary, these people are even crazier than lunatics. And in our land, the people here are all Chinese, our flesh and blood compatriots. They are so
If you do it, naturally there won’t be too many taboos.”
"They are different from us. As long as they achieve their goals, they don't care how many Chinese people die. Anyway, the people who died are all Chinese and have nothing to do with them. To destroy the embankments and release water, they don't need a single soldier, but they can make a big difference."
While reducing their frontal pressure, it can effectively kill a large number of our troops, and it can have an effect that even many Japanese troops cannot achieve."
Having said this, Yang Zhen clicked on the map that marked the progress of each department and said: "Old Ma, among the battle reports sent by the frontline troops, there is one item that I don't know whether you didn't pay attention to or ignored. The Seventh Division is seizing Xinwan.
When we discovered this material storage point for the supply chain of the 28th Division of the Japanese Army, a large number of rubber boats and simple rafts tied with wood were seized here."
"Judging from the number of seizures reported by the Seventh Division, they are enough to transport two Japanese infantry regiments at one time. What does this mean? It can only mean that the Japanese army has long been prepared to break the dikes and release water when the war is unfavorable, using water to replace troops.
Stop our troops from moving south. Otherwise, what are they doing transporting so many rubber boats and simple rafts to Buyeo?"
"Although it is the flood season now, there is no need to reserve so many rubber boats and simple rafts at the Xinwanfa front line in the deep area. If they take ten thousand steps back, even if they want to forcefully cross the Beiliu Songhua River to counterattack Jiangbei, they will not
They have accumulated a large number of rubber boats and simple rafts. But the battle has already reached this level, aren’t they worried that we will use these tools to cross the river to go directly south?”
"Although the Songhua River is the largest water system in the Northeast inland, it is not the Yangtze River. Even in the flood season, the river is far less wide than the Yangtze River. Simply relying on simple tools such as rubber boats, even in the flood season, although
Heavy equipment cannot cross the river, but infantry can cross the river without any problems. The Japanese army should be very clear about this."
"The most important thing is that we only seized rubber boats and simple rafts in Xinwanfa, but no pontoon equipment. If the Japanese army wants to cross north to counterattack us, they will not fail to prepare pontoon equipment. Otherwise, even if the infantry
We can rely on these rubber boats, but heavy equipment cannot. Without the fire cover of heavy equipment, the Japanese army wants to break through our defense line, and they know the result very well."
"And I have seen the progress of the previous battle. Although the Japanese resistance was fierce, they were trying to attract our troops as much as possible, intentionally or unintentionally. Look at the remnants of the Japanese 28th Division in Buyeo. Although the remaining
There are not many troops left, but the current location is in a relatively high terrain."
"It's just that after the Seventh Division broke through the road from Fuyu to Yushu, it suddenly sent a force south to seize Xinwanfa and seized the escape tools prepared by the Japanese army. I'm afraid they didn't expect it. Otherwise, I think the Japanese army in Jiangnan would do something
If it's not good, we've already started blowing up the embankments and releasing water. Or we can set fire to burn these river-crossing equipment."
"Lao Ma, the Japanese army has a complete meteorological organization, and its grasp of the weather is much more comprehensive than ours. And in the Changbai Mountains, there are not only our troops, but also the Japanese army. Regarding the meteorological data there, as well as the Songhua River in Nanyuan
They only have more hydrological data on the upper reaches and various tributaries than we do, not less than me."
"Once the Japanese army breaks the dikes at Wujia Station and Namshenjing and releases water, the three divisions of our army currently fighting in Buyeo will be caught in this man-made flood. Your three divisions will be separated by the flood.
Come. Not only will we suffer heavy losses, but we may not be able to save much of the heavy equipment we have worked so hard on."
"If the Japanese army really digs a dike and releases water on the south bank of the Songhua River, not only will you not be able to complete the final encirclement and annihilation of the 28th Division within 48 hours, you will even have to suffer heavy losses. By then, the Japanese army will use the water in the Yinma River
A large number of ferries are concentrated, and under the cover of long-range artillery fire, they attack Tao Laizhao with all their strength. What should you do? Even if the maximum deadline you gave Tao Laizhao's defenders has passed after seventy-two hours, you will still be overwhelmed by the flood.
Do you want to reinforce Tao Laizhao with troops?"
Yang Zhen's words made Ma Chunsheng fall into deep thinking. If the Japanese army's actions were really like this, then his troops currently in Fuyu would be plunged into a man-made flood. It was said to be a dilemma.
It sounds nice, but maybe the whole army will be destroyed.
Just as Ma Chunsheng was pondering, the 11th Division and the 7th Division, which had seized Nanyingshan and Wujia Stations, received urgent telegrams respectively. They discovered a large number of explosives planted by the Japanese army on the Songhua River Dam. According to
Judging from the quantity of explosives planted by the Japanese army, it was enough to destroy one-third of the Songhua River embankment in southern Buyeo.
The troops seizing these two places discovered that the explosives planted by the Japanese army on the Songhua River embankment were actually imported from Germany and were rarely used by the Japanese army. They were far more powerful than the TNT and RDX explosives produced by the Japanese army. The ignition device was also used.
Extremely advanced electric ignition device.
When they were dismantling the explosives, they were blocked by the long-range firepower of the Japanese army and the firepower of the Japanese army on the opposite side. The Japanese army even sent troops to forcibly cross the river under cover of firepower to try to prevent them from dismantling the explosives on the levee. The Japanese army facing them at Wujia Station,
Even a 150mm heavy howitzer was deployed to directly bombard the Jiangbei Embankment.
At present, the Jiangbei Levee has been damaged in many places under its constant bombardment. If it were not for the pre-war Japs who built the Songhua River Levee extremely strong in order to protect Fuyu, a famous grain-producing area in Jilin, the levee would not have been able to survive here.
This kind of shelling at all costs has been blown out of the gap.
After receiving the report from the two divisions that the forward troops had arrived on the north bank of the Songhua River in Nanyuan, Ma Chunsheng couldn't help but be stunned. The current situation was already obvious, and the Japanese army's next combat plan was really what No. 1 said
, is to dig dikes and release water at all costs to replace troops with water. Even the remnants of their 28th Division currently located north of the Songhua River cannot be cared for.
Faced with the Japanese army's last crazy tactic of breaching the dikes and releasing water, Ma Chunsheng thought he was resourceful, but he couldn't find a way to deal with it for a while. But the current situation urged him to come up with a solution to the problem as soon as possible.
.Otherwise, once the Japanese army succeeds, the entire Buyeo battlefield will fall into a man-made disaster.
At that time, not only will he not be able to deal with the remnants of the 28th Division according to his plan, but he will suffer great losses. Not only will he lose the troops, but also the tanks and heavy artillery reinforced by the headquarters on the Buyeo battlefield.
The wealth that the headquarters has worked so hard to build, such as the automobile, will probably be lost entirely. But he cannot be willing to stop at this point.
After staring at the map for a long time, Ma Chunsheng gritted his teeth and said: "No. 1, it seems that we can't wait for the 28th Division to be completely solved before going south. If we wait for the Japanese army to blow up the Songhua River embankment, let alone solve it as planned.
It is impossible to fight or even withdraw from the battlefield safely. We must now go south first and capture the south bank of the Songhua River to break the Japanese conspiracy."
"I want to give up the original plan of using the 33rd Regiment to defend the line from Xinglonggou to Nanyingshan, and order them to cross the Yangtze River immediately in advance and seize the small town in Nong'an to Huangyuquan. Order the Seventh Division to transfer the current combat tasks to
The main forces of the 11th Division and the 7th Division immediately forced their way south to meet up with the leading troops at Wujia Station and Linjiang Wobao."
"Using the Japanese rubber boats and simple rafts captured in Xinwanfa, we immediately crossed the river from Wujia Station, Linjiang Wobao, and forcibly attacked Qingshankou, Qianyingzi, and Yaojiatun. Telegraph ordered Tao Laizhao's 9th Division to 20
The Sixth Regiment immediately defended the original plan to defend Taolaizhao, immediately used the Taolaizhao Railway Bridge to cross the river, and attacked Xiaofangshen and the north bank of the Yinma River."
"Order the Ninth Division to move south immediately without resting after solving the main force of the 26th Regiment, and attack south of Yushu. At the same time, one force will be used to take over the defense of the 26th Regiment on the Taolaizhao line. On the 1st, I hope the headquarters can coordinate
The aviation units assigned to our column launched a large-scale air attack on the confluence of the Yinma River and the Yitong River."
