If the roundabout force follows his own idea, at least two to three regiments of troops will need to be added before it can be used. But even according to Wang Guangyu's plan, he still needs to add at least one regiment of troops here. If the maximum transportation capacity is concentrated
, I can replenish Wang Guangyu with part of his troops within twelve hours.
But as a result, the emergency mobile force in the hands of the headquarters is somewhat insufficient. This will affect the subsequent deployment of the headquarters to a certain extent. The most critical thing is that a considerable part of the reserve force in the hands of the headquarters has now begun to mobilize and is preparing to be deployed to Songhua
The most critical areas along the Yangtze River are prepared to deal with unexpected situations.
Among them, a whole division of troops was deployed from the north bank of the intersection of the Nen River and the Songhua River on the Sancha River line in Fuyu to the Harbin line. First, it was used as a second-line force on the Fuyu and Deokhui battlefields, and could join the Fuyu battlefield when necessary.
The second is that once the Japanese army really attacks here, they can pull this division down the river embankment in the shortest possible time.
The Songhua River basin is too large, and the length of the lower reaches of the Sancha River alone is hundreds of kilometers. The Japanese army bombed the river embankment and used water to replace troops. It is only the current judgment of the headquarters. Before obtaining accurate information, it is impossible to transfer the main stream to the main stream.
All the troops were put into protecting the river embankment.
Although the headquarters is currently adjusting the deployment of aviation forces and ground air defense forces, a brigade of the Air Defense Command that has formed combat effectiveness, plus two MiG-3 fighter jets directly under independent squadrons, and a P39 fighter brigade will be transferred to Jiamusi respectively.
and Harbin. The aviation forces originally deployed on the front lines of Qiqihar and Wangye Temple also diverted some of their forces to the lower reaches of the Nen River.
At the same time, the air defense forces in various places have also been strengthened on the original basis. In addition to the two original radars on hand, and three of the five radars airlifted by the Americans through Yan'an in early June, they are being transferred to the Shuangcheng.
The Wuchang and Zhaozhou lines are preparing to form a radar defense line.
In addition to radar and aviation, the Air Defense Command has mobilized only ground anti-aircraft artillery, four 85mm anti-aircraft artillery battalions, two newly installed 57mm anti-aircraft artillery battalions. In addition, there are four double twenty
Three anti-aircraft artillery battalions, thirteen 37-type anti-aircraft artillery batteries, twenty-eight 14.5 mm anti-aircraft machine gun companies, and six independent searchlight companies are being mobilized rapidly.
A total of forty-eight 85mm anti-aircraft guns, twenty-four 57mm anti-aircraft guns, forty-eight 72 twin 23mm anti-aircraft guns, and 108 twin 14.5mm anti-aircraft machine guns
.Twenty-four Soviet-made anti-aircraft searchlights are ready to be deployed along the river.
The headquarters mobilized so many anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns of large, medium and small calibers at one go, in order to cooperate with the fighter jets as much as possible with the assistance of radar and searchlights, and to build a continuous and dense air defense along the main stream of the lower reaches of the Songhua River as much as possible.
Fire Network.
These ground air defense forces are already part of the combat effectiveness of the anti-aircraft artillery units directly under the headquarters. Except for the anti-aircraft artillery responsible for air defense tasks in key areas and railway lines, they are almost only mobile forces. Some of the troops are even new ones that have just been formed.
The troops were originally intended to take over air defense missions in key areas in the rear.
Among the ground air defense troops mobilized, there is a 57mm anti-aircraft gun, five of the thirteen 37th anti-aircraft artillery battalions, and three of the 37th anti-aircraft artillery battalions. They are the female ground troops just formed by the headquarters.
Anti-aircraft artillery. Although these female soldiers who voluntarily signed up to join the army are very enthusiastic about fighting, this is also their first time to participate in actual combat testing.
It's just that these female anti-aircraft artillerymen have just completed preliminary training. They can now operate the artillery and shoot out the artillery shells. As for the accuracy, I'm afraid we will only know after this battle. But the rear is under intense construction.
Given that the military industrial base is equally important, the headquarters does not have many mobile troops on hand.
Moreover, the 57mm anti-aircraft guns currently produced are far more powerful than the Soviet-made anti-aircraft guns, and a considerable part of them are exported to the Soviet Union. The air defense force that the headquarters can mobilize has been used to its limit. If it were not possible to withstand the ideas put forward by the Soviet Union,
Due to the pressure to buy back some MiG-3 fighter jets, it is now difficult for the headquarters to allocate even these aviation forces.
With the battle for air supremacy on the battlefield, the air defense of key areas in the rear, and the various ordnance bases under construction being taken into consideration, it is impossible to devote all the main energy to the Songhua River. In addition, the Japanese pilots are currently in trouble when their planes are being attacked.
If he is hit and loses his combat effectiveness, his crazy energy will be shattered at every turn, so he needs to make some more preparations.
Who can guarantee that those Japanese pilots will not crash the aircraft directly into the river embankment when the aircraft is no longer able to fight or return home? A so-called heavy bomber by the Japanese army, although compared with Western countries, it is at most a medium bomber.
After all, an airplane weighs several tons. Add in fuel and bombs, and the airplane itself becomes a super bomb.
If it hits the river embankment, it may be more powerful than the largest yield bomb used by the Japanese army. The damage to the river embankment will also be greater. Unless you hit it and explode it in the sky, otherwise for the Japanese, such a
As a crazy nation, you must make more preparations. Therefore, you must retain a certain amount of maneuverability at several key positions on the main stream of the Songhua River.
Even in order to deal with emergencies, Yang Zhen mobilized some of the captured Japanese-made trucks that were close to being scrapped due to long-term overuse, preparing to use them to block possible gaps in Japanese bombs. Although later generations because of his own troops
The peculiarity is that Yang Zhen has never participated in flood fighting, but Yang Zhen still knows some ways to fight floods.
Therefore, in addition to mobilizing part of the aviation force and ground anti-aircraft artillery, we also made some other targeted preparations. The water volume of the Songhua River is getting larger and larger. Even if the Japanese do not send out bombers for bombing, who knows whether those river embankments will
If you can't withstand the pressure of the river, you will break out somewhere.
After all, all the river embankments in China at this time are the same thing. As long as the water rises too much, there will be few that will not be breached. After years of war, limited funds have been invested in military expenditures to repair rivers and prevent floods.
No one cares about work.
Since the fall of Northeast China, the Japanese have repaired part of the dams of major rivers in Northeast China in order to maintain their long-term rule. However, the Japanese will not make great efforts to repair them. Except for key cities, the Japanese have done other work.
It's basically all face-saving work.
Since the middle reaches of the main stream of the Songhua River became the front line of the confrontation between the two armies, it has been severely damaged. In addition, the Japanese army has been bombarded some time ago. Even if the Japanese army does not bombard it, who can guarantee that these river embankments that have been in disrepair will remain intact?
Will the fun be over all of a sudden? There will be a big break of the embankment. You know the current peak flood volume of the Songhua River, which has not been seen in decades.
Therefore, it is still necessary to keep some troops on hand to deal with crises that may arise at any time. Moreover, the headquarters already has a direction for using other reserve teams. To mobilize reinforcements for Wang Guangyu, we must reconsider the overall situation. Even the original
All plans will be disrupted.
But at the moment, Wang Guangyu must send reinforcements here. But where is it more appropriate to mobilize this part of the troops, and how much will be mobilized so as not to affect the next battle situation and the protection of the river embankment, but it makes Yang Zhen feel somewhat helpless.
He had a headache. After thinking about it, Yang Zhen decided to leave this issue to Wang Guangyu. After all, as a frontline commander, he knew best how many reinforcements were needed.
Thinking of this, Yang Zhen pondered for a moment and turned to Wang Guangyu and said: "How much more troops do you think you need here? Of course, what I'm talking about is that you have to ensure that the battle situation in Rehe is in your hands.
"It's not that we don't believe in the combat effectiveness of the advancing army. I still know the actual combat effectiveness of those troops who came from the old Red Army. Moreover, my old commander's commanding ability and ability to grasp the battle situation are far superior to mine."
"But their equipment, logistics problems, and the actual combined command level of commanders at all levels are still far behind the Japanese army. Although there is a certain amount of pressure to simply deal with the Japanese and puppet troops in Jehol, it should be
There won’t be any big problems. But once new enemy forces join, the situation may be reversed.”
"Due to their own equipment and the situation on the battlefield behind enemy lines, the Kanai troops are accustomed to fighting ambush and guerrilla warfare. For the current formal head-to-head confrontation with a large number of Japanese troops, they are probably somewhat inadequate. This is why I submitted the plan to the central government.
They were mainly responsible for the main reason for the battle in Jehol."
"The Japanese and puppet troops in Rehe are mainly puppet Manchu troops. Although their training level is not low, their overall quality is still far behind the Japanese army. Letting the advancing army use them as their main opponents can help the troops mature quickly. But once a large number of
With the Japanese troops joining, the situation is likely to be reversed."
"As our military unit closest to the Rehe battlefield, you must not only be responsible for your own operations, but you must also keep an eye on the Rehe battlefield at all times. This is why the headquarters selected you as the commander of the roundabout force when it first selected you.
Commander’s reasons.”
"It is very necessary that you have an understanding of the situation in the Rehe battlefield and maintain a certain degree of mobility so that you can reinforce the Rehe battlefield at any time. Indeed, your military strength seems to be somewhat inadequate when you have to take care of the Rehe battlefield as well.
.In this way, if you come up with a number, the headquarters can consider it appropriately."
After listening to Yang Zhen's rhetorical question, Wang Guangyu was stunned. Of course he wanted more troops from the headquarters. Every commander naturally hopes to use more troops. Especially as a party fighting independently, he hopes that the troops on hand will be more powerful.
Sufficient. But he still didn't know how many troops the headquarters could mobilize now. Therefore, he was somewhat hesitant about Yang Zhen's question.
Seeing the hesitation on Wang Guangyu's face, Yang Zhen patted his hand and said: "Old Wang, I understand what you are thinking. But don't have any worries. Come up with a number as much as you need. The chief of staff and I are studying it.
Really? It is true that under the current situation where we are likely to be under the pressure of flood control, the headquarters does not have many troops that can be used for maneuver. But it is still possible to allocate some of them to you."
At this point, Yang Zhen, who had never smoked, lit up a pipe: "In addition to talking to you about the possible next steps of the Japanese army this time, I also want to talk to you about one more thing. But.
Let's wait until you make your request first. Now let's take care of your immediate needs."
