In fact, Wang Guangyu could have used a battalion of the direct reconnaissance brigade attached to the headquarters to secretly infiltrate and eliminate these so-called Japanese and puppet border guards. However, due to time considerations, Wang Guangyu still chose to attack across the board as quickly as possible.
Speed, breaking through the border defense forces of the Japanese and puppet troops.
For Wang Guangyu, successfully breaking through the national border is only the first step, and the real tough battle is still behind. Although the puppet Mongolian army quickly collapsed, the vanguard troops were not hindered in any way. Moreover, the Japanese Mongolian troops guarding the East Ujimqin Banner
A small team from the Xinjiang garrison was also wiped out.
However, those puppet Mongolian troops relied on their familiarity with the terrain and disintegrated too quickly, but they were not able to annihilate them all. Although these people were not good at fighting, they had a way of escaping. However, they often dispersed in a rush.
It is the most difficult thing to deal with. When the officers and soldiers of the Anti-Japanese Alliance were dealing with the puppet Manchukuo military police, especially those puppet troops composed of local people, they once summed up the sentence: "If you are not afraid of them fighting to the death, you are afraid of being defeated on the spot."
If these people fight to the death and do not retreat, it is easy to deal with it, just eliminate them. But once they collapse on the spot, it will be troublesome. Because these people are often from local gangsters and are familiar with the local environment. Once they collapse, unless you deploy a large number of troops
Carry out encirclement and suppression, otherwise these people will not cause big troubles, but small troubles will continue to cause you small troubles.
If it is a new area recaptured by the army, this situation will pose a great threat to the development of local work. Many local staff have died in the hands of these people. But for the current situation, breaking through the national border is just that.
This is the beginning of the battle. There is no rush to clear out these stragglers.
Therefore, these people have no other ability except harassing the common people. Although they have received all the Japanese training from the so-called Japanese instructors, most of these are Mongolian horse bandits or the puppet Mongolian army composed of former Northeastern Army soldiers who surrendered to the enemy.
The combat effectiveness of the army is much worse than that of their so-called ally Manchukuo.
Wang Guangyu is not worried about how much trouble these pseudo-Mongolian troops can cause. As early as when he served as the commander of the Nenjiang Military Region to suppress bandits, he has accumulated a certain amount of experience in dealing with these stragglers. If he is really cruel, these people will really be in his eyes.
They are not a piece of cake. But the roundabout force currently under his command cannot afford to waste this time, nor does it have the extra troops to encircle and suppress them.
The negligence of the vanguard caused these people to collapse on the spot. Whether these people fled back to their own troops or became bandits on the spot, Wang Guangyu was not worried about their ability to cause trouble. For Wang Guangyu, the biggest problem at the moment
The trouble is not how much trouble these people will cause to their future combat operations. It is that after these people escape, they will report to the Japanese army that the anti-alliance forces have arrived.
Regardless of the Japanese army in Chahar and the Japanese army in Rehe and the puppet Hungary Anxi Province, they belong to two different systems: the Kwantung Army and the Mongolian garrison under the North China Front Army. At least on the surface, mutual cooperation should not be
So rigorous. At least it won't be impossible for a while after this information is transferred to the Kwantung Army.
However, judging from the fact that the various front armies of the Japanese army have always cooperated closely with each other and exchanged information with each other. Especially as the two strategic groups that cooperate with each other, the Kwantung Army and the Japanese North China Front army have always cooperated very closely. After these people were defeated, they must have
The news that he had arrived could not be hidden from the Japanese army for long. Moreover, the cooperation initiative among the various strategic groups of the Japanese army has always been very strong.
No matter what the goal of the anti-alliance forces that break through the East Ujimqin Banner is, the Japanese and puppet troops in the Chabei area are bound to gather in the shortest possible time and try to intercept the outflanking troops. Moreover, the Japanese troops in Chahar are stationed in Mongolia.
The army will definitely report it to the Kwantung Army and the 23rd Division stationed in Linxi as soon as possible.
"No, we must reach Linxi County at all costs before the 23rd Division can react, and the two flags on the left and right of Bahrain. Cut off the interconnection between the 23rd Division, and seize the Wengniute Banner with one force.
Cut off the Japanese western aid in Fengtian and Jinzhou."
Although a small oversight is not big, if it cannot be quickly made up for in the shortest time, it is likely to become an ant nest that breaks the embankment. Thinking of this, Wang Guangyu made up his mind to adjust his deployment immediately and ordered the machines around him.
Ask the staff to stop the car immediately, and at the same time notify Li Mingfeng, the commander of the armored brigade, and the commander of the cavalry brigade to come to his place immediately for a meeting.
Seeing Wang Guangyu's unkind expression, the combat staff around him did not dare to delay. He immediately called the heads of the three divisions and brigades to the general headquarters through the walkie-talkie. He also repeatedly informed the heads of several divisions and brigades that the commander asked them to
Immediately rush to the headquarters as quickly as possible for a meeting.
After Li Mingfeng and the others arrived after receiving the notice, Wang Guangyu laid out the map straight to the point: "The Japanese and puppet East Ujimqin Banner border garrison collapsed faster than we imagined. Especially the puppet Mongolians among them.
The army collapsed at the first touch, which we did not expect before."
"Although the combat effectiveness of these puppet Mongolian troops is low, they are all local snakes. They are mainly cavalry. The now defeated puppet Mongolian troops must have gone back to Ulyastai to report to the Japanese and puppet garrison. Although even if the whole Japanese
We don't care if all the garrison troops from the Puppet East and West Ujimqin Banners are dispatched. But we cannot ignore the subsequent chain reaction caused."
"We have entered the East Ujimqin Banner, and the Guannei troops have now appeared in Rehe. Even the Japanese are fools and have now realized what our army's true combat intentions are. Once the 23rd Division shifts its defense focus,
Along the West Ujimqin Banner and the Linxi junction, our hope for a quick victory can only be dashed. Judging from the consistent response of the Japanese army, this is not alarmist."
"The two banners of East and West Ujimqin, the two banners of Bahrain, and Linxi, including Keshiketeng Banner, were the key defense areas of the Japanese army in Chahar and Jehol, and they were the second line of defense against the Soviet Union in the entire southwest.
.Although this line does not have a large permanent fortress group, it does have a complete defense system and a large number of solid support points."
"Judging from the terrain of Linxi and the two flags on the left and right of Bahrain in our planned combat area, once the Japanese army completes the deployment, even if we have a large number of tanks and armored troops to cover it, it will be difficult for us to break through the Japanese army's defense in a short period of time. In this way,
As a result, our original attempt to achieve the sudden victory in the roundabout battle will be in vain. Our time to achieve the planned campaign objectives will also be greatly delayed."
"The most important thing is to mobilize reinforcements and adjust deployment for the Japanese army, which will also buy a lot of time. Once this situation occurs, it will be quite detrimental to our future operations. Therefore, we must rush to respond before the 23rd Division
Before coming here, we must at least complete the division of the 23rd Division."
"Now I have decided to give up the original plan of seizing Uriyasta, attacking the Chulutu front line, and establishing a solid and deep defense in our rear. I will concentrate my forces and advance at full speed. Ignoring the small groups of Japanese and puppet troops along the way, we will use the fastest speed.
We will use the so-called national defense highway system built by the Japanese army on the spot at a fast speed and advance with all our strength towards Linxi County, Bahrain Zuo Banner and Lindong Line."
Having said this, Wang Guangyu turned to the cavalry brigade commander beside him and said: "Your cavalry brigade should not follow the main force in marching. Take advantage of the fact that your cavalry is much less dependent on the road, take a straight line and attack Linxi and Xixi with all your strength."
At the junction of Wuzhumuqin Banner, seize Daxigou, Fengjiayingzi, the front line to Laofangshen, and move forward to the Baltai River. At the same time, send some troops to the direction of Keshiketeng Banner to guard."
"Remember that your mission is to seize the mountainous area at the junction of Linxi and West Ujimqin Banner at all costs, not to clear the Japanese and puppet troops on the advance route for the follow-up troops. Regardless of the West Ujimqin Banner
You should ignore the reaction of the Japanese and puppet troops inside the territory."
"The number of Japanese and puppet troops in West Ujimqin Banner is quite limited. They cannot gather the strength that can threaten you. The small number of Japanese and puppet troops that can maneuver does not pose a big threat to you. So you should ignore the enemy situation you encounter along the way.
, you have only one goal, and that is Lin Xi."
"Also, don't feel bad about the horses. Even if all the horses in your cavalry brigade run to death, you must arrive at Laofangshen and Fengjiayingzi before nine o'clock tomorrow morning. As long as you arrive at the designated area on time, completing the deployment will be a victory.
This is the prairie of Inner Mongolia. Although they are not as good as the war horses trained in our own racecourse, there are plenty of Mongolian horses. I will replenish as many war horses as you kill."
After Wang Guangyu looked at his watch, he did not look at the expression of the cavalry brigade commander. He clicked on the map with his finger and continued: "You will set off immediately and do not stop on the way. After you arrive at the predetermined area, if you encounter twenty-three
As long as you withstand the division's counterattack for eight hours, the main force will definitely arrive. However, you must be mentally prepared for the intensity of the 23rd Division's counterattack."
"If we seize the two key points of Laofangshen and Fengjiayingzi, it will be equivalent to driving two wedges on the flanks of the 23rd Division, and its entire left wing will no longer be able to form a complete line of defense. For the 23rd Division
For the division, this is a quite fatal danger, and their entire left-wing defense line will be completely passive. If the 23rd Division does not want to be divided by our army, they will definitely use all their strength to counterattack."
"The current 23rd Division has been completely replenished by the Kwantung Army at all costs. All the regiments of the division are now fully staffed, and the number of heavy weapons is one of the best in the entire Kwantung Army.
Once our army seizes Laofangshen and Fengjiayingzi, the counterattack you will encounter will be unprecedented."
"But whether we can seize and hold these two strategic points before the 23rd Division is related to the key issue of whether we can seize the opportunity in the upcoming battle. It is related to whether our follow-up operations will be successful.
An important factor in being dragged to the southern Xing'an hilly area at the junction of West Ujimqin Banner and Linxi County."
"Although the situation may not necessarily be complicated, the simpler and clearer the situation, the more psychologically prepared you must be to fight to the end. Your cavalry brigade, even if the entire brigade is wiped out by me, you still have to fight before the main force arrives.
Hold on for eight hours without taking a step back."
