Although he wanted to think carefully about why three days had passed and the relief troops had not arrived yet, the sharp deterioration of the subsequent battle situation after returning to the brigade headquarters soon made him no longer think about what happened on the way to the relief troops.
Things will take such a long time.
The only two companies of the Third Regiment on the front line of Daijiadian completed the four-hour task assigned by him with hard support. However, these two companies were withdrawn only after Lin Zhiqiang concentrated all the artillery cover at hand.
When the company withdrew from its position, including the lightly wounded who could still move, they could only form a platoon.
The difference in strength between the two sides was huge, and the firepower equipment was almost completely different. The strength of these two companies sticking to the front line of Daijiadian for four hours was already the limit, and even somewhat beyond Lin Zhiqiang's imagination.
Lin Zhiqiang was once worried that the front line of Daijia Store would not be able to hold on for four hours, so he prepared for the worst.
But these two companies have persisted now. Although the casualties are so heavy, it is not too surprising to Lin Zhiqiang. The price paid by these two companies is very high, but for him and the entire battle situation in the northern part of the paddock,
This casualty rate is not just as simple as the number of casualties.
What he needs most now is time, to gain time for reinforcements to arrive. Although the cost of these four hours is a bit higher compared to the current strength of the troops, these four hours are enough for the headquarters to judge the strength of the Japanese and puppet troops.
The main direction of attack is to adjust the deployment time of the entire Jehol battlefield. Four hours have passed, and I am afraid that the headquarters has begun to assemble troops according to the battlefield situation.
After completing the deduction on the map, Lin Zhiqiang's suggestion to the headquarters was that if the Japanese and puppet troops really concentrated their forces on the paddock and the Keshiketeng Banner line to launch an attack. The headquarters' first action was to take advantage of the lack of troops in Chifeng and attack at all costs.
Take Chifeng at all costs and cut off the Yechi Railway to cut off the puppet army's retreat route and supply base when they advance westward.
At the same time, a force was used to move north from Longhua and attack westward from Chifeng. Taking advantage of the complex terrain of the mountainous area with crisscrossed ravines to the north of the paddock, the Japanese and puppet troops were divided and encircled in one fell swoop in the mountainous area north of the paddock. Here
The terrain is narrow, which is not conducive to the deployment of large troops. It is also very conducive to utilizing the strengths of certain aspects of the advancing army.
Although this battlefield layout has certain risks. After all, the strength of the leading brigade is too thin. Once it is broken through by the Japanese and puppet troops, the passive force will be to advance. But risks often accompany it.
Opportunity. If it can be realized, most of the Japanese and puppet troops in Rehe can basically be eliminated. Although it may not be able to completely resolve the situation in Rehe, this battle can at least make future battles much smoother.
Although a certain amount of time was gained, the reality is also cruel. The two companies guarding the Daijiadian front line were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of military strength and firepower. They struggled for four hours and almost all the troops were destroyed. In other words, the battle
Just after getting off the ground, he lost one-third of his troops. And this was just the beginning.
After the Japanese and puppet troops broke through the Daijiadian front line, they did not take any rest. Instead, they marched and fought at night, biting the tail of the Third Regiment and withdrew the troops and pursued them to the Daqinghuohe River line. At this time, the original garrison
The two companies on the front line of Daijiadian were unable to send out cover troops due to heavy casualties.
If it were not for Lin Zhiqiang's pre-deployed minefield behind the Daijiadian front line and the unexpected concentrated artillery cover, it would have caused considerable losses to the Japanese and puppet artillery, causing a brief interruption in the Japanese firepower, and the
This disrupted the Japanese army's pursuit and fire pursuit plans. It was hard to say whether the remaining platoon of the two companies of the Third Regiment could safely withdraw.
Lin Zhiqiang was somewhat surprised by this move of the Japanese and puppet troops. When fighting in mountainous areas, the Japanese and puppet troops were always very cautious in their actions. This time, uncharacteristically, they pursued them overnight. This situation can only show that the Kwantung Army's senior officials are enthusiastic about it.
The pressure from the Japanese and Japanese puppet troops was considerable.
But it is also possible that they took advantage of the last sneak attack and were unscrupulous this time. The Kwantung Army has always been arrogant, well-equipped and well-trained. In addition to the repeated defeats of the Anti-Alliance in recent years,
It is normal that the rest of the army has never taken it seriously.
Is it really the success last time that allowed them to have no scruples? Or is it that the battle situation in the north is now very unfavorable to the Japanese army? Is it that the Japanese army is eager to stabilize the situation in Rehe? The strategic location of Rehe should not be harmful to the Kwantung Army now.
It is said that it is too important for the entire Japanese army. If the battle situation in the north is unfavorable, ensuring the stability of Rehe can be said to be quite important for the Japanese army.
With this idea, Lin Zhiqiang wanted to send a telegram to the headquarters to inquire about the battle situation between the anti-alliance roundabout troops and the 23rd Division in the north. But after hesitating for a moment, he gave up the idea. Instead, he turned around and asked
, the combat staff around me informed the brigade commander about what was going on.
After receiving a negative answer, Lin Zhiqiang turned his attention back to the map. There was no movement from the brigade commander's side, as he expected. The paddock is too close to Chifeng, so close that once there is a transportation line from Chifeng to the paddock
In the event of an accident, the cavalry and mechanized troops of the Japanese and puppet troops can arrive at the starting point within an hour.
It was just that during the battle on the front line of Daijiadian, the superiors reported that the cavalry regiment of the Puppet Manchukuo Army had never appeared. And precisely this was what Lin Zhiqiang was most worried about. If this cavalry regiment was used by the Japanese army,
If it is used to protect traffic lines, it will not have much impact on the entire defense posture. But if the Japanese army uses it in other directions, the danger will be great.
The Japanese army has occupied Rehe and the adjacent Chabei area for nearly ten years. The tightness of the forces here is unmatched by the battlefield in Guannei. With the Japanese's careful understanding of the entire Rehe mountain topography and the direction of the river, I am afraid that
There are far more Chinese people than the original owners of this land.
The one-in-50,000 map in my hand was captured by the vanguard brigade during the first mountain ambush battle. The detailed surveying and mapping should make the original owner of this land feel ashamed. The headquarters’ share of responsibility
The original one-hundred-thousandth map obtained by Tang Yulin of the Northeast Army obtained through secret channels is not as clear as this one-fifty-thousandth map.
The map surveyed and mapped by Tang Huhu, who is known as the mighty general of the Feng Army, is more appropriate to be called a sketch than a map. The map only shows the general directions of mountains, rivers, and rivers. Even the most basic...
Some of the basic things needed for the map, such as the High Line, are quite inaccurate. This Tang Huhu focused all his attention on how to make money.
As for the defense of Rehe, maybe he has never thought about it at all. Rehe has been rich in opium, known as black gold, since the late Qing Dynasty, and because of the water and soil, the quality of the opium is quite high. Although the land here is barren and the people are poor, but this is
, given that a large portion of the country’s population is addicted to opium, it can be said to be a treasure trove of wealth in the eyes of many people.
Although this kind of wealth is ill-gotten wealth, for those who are greedy, they are bastards if they have money but don't earn it. As for the life and death of others, they don't care about it. The man who was once known as Fengjun
After taking office, the former King of Rehe, a tiger general, focused more of his experience on promoting opium cultivation and sales, two promising things with huge financial prospects. As for the local defense of Rehe, I am afraid he doesn’t have much to worry about.
Otherwise, the maps surveyed and mapped by his department would not be adequate at best. As for how practical it is, only God knows. Before him, there was no map in the entire Jehol and even Chahar.
Regular military maps. The one-hundred-thousandth map that the Chinese surveyed and mapped by the headquarters at the headquarters is far less accurate than the Japanese one-fifty-thousandth map.
This place is located in a mountainous area. I am afraid only God knows how many passes there are for the Japanese and puppet troops to enter and exit. This map was used to capture the puppet Manchukuo troops. According to the usual habits of the Japanese army, they will never use the best things.
Give it to the puppet army. Even if this puppet army is completely committed to their service, they will keep it. Maybe the map in their hands will be clearer.
Lin Zhiqiang raised his head and looked at the dark mountains outside the brigade headquarters, and a bad premonition suddenly arose in his heart. Could it be that this puppet Manchukuo cavalry regiment had used its mobility to bypass its frontal defense line, and unknown to him,
The pass penetrated into one's own defense line? This is not possible, but the possibility is quite high.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhiqiang turned his head and said to the several staff officers around him: "Order the command post of the Third Regiment and the remaining troops to withdraw to the line from Chaigoumen to Straw Hat Mountain and join the second-line troops of the Third Regiment there. Second, immediately
Dismantle the telephone lines and use radios for all communications with the front lines. Also, tell the Third Group to hide the radio antennas."
Before the brigade commander set off, Lin Zhiqiang handed over the few combat staff officers he had already trained to the brigade commander. Now beside him are more than 20 students from the headquarters staff training team. These people are from
The company platoon leaders selected from each regiment have rich practical experience and a certain level of education.
These people had rich battlefield experience, and some were even veterans of the Red Army. Although their professional skills as staff officers were not even satisfactory, their actual combat experience was unparalleled. As soon as Lin Zhiqiang's order came out, they immediately understood that something unexpected must have happened.
A few people didn't say anything and immediately went to separate executions.
Lin Zhiqiang is quite satisfied with the performance of these staff officers. Although these people may not even be able to do the most basic surveying and mapping, and some of them cannot even read maps. But with rich practical experience, they can learn from the language of their superiors.
Among them, it is easy to deduce what kind of accident occurred. And in terms of execution, it is even more impeccable.
Just being satisfied with the execution ability of the staff around him cannot replace the deterioration of the war situation. Although Lin Zhiqiang's career as a military officer is not long, he has a long experience of working as a combat staff, especially the experience of working next to Yang Zhen and Guo Bingxun.
, but it allowed him to develop extremely accurate judgments on battlefield situations.
As the saying goes, good things don't come, bad things come. Lin Zhiqiang's judgment this time was still very accurate. But he didn't expect that the target of the Puppet Manchukuo Cavalry Regiment, which used a mountain trail not marked on the map to infiltrate, was
, not the second line of defense on Straw Hat Mountain, but his brigade headquarters. Although he reached here by mistake, he almost took the blame for his brigade headquarters.
