Chapter 249 Prelude to the Great War

As the flood season of the Songhua River gradually passed, the small actions before the battle between the two sides facing each other across the river became increasingly frequent. Faced with the two concentrated Japanese divisions and a large number of puppet Manchu troops, Yang Zhen attacked all three supplementary regiments.

Scattered supplements to the three main regiments and divisional troops. [.Com text]

In addition to the original troops, each military division's basic cadre regiment was also transferred into a supplementary battalion. The total number of troops reached 1,800. At the same time, each county also established county brigades and other local armed forces.

With the transfer of three supplementary regiments with a total number of 20,000, the strength of the three main regiments has also expanded sharply to more than 10,000. Since the existing establishment can no longer meet the current situation of the army, after several discussions, Yang Zhen decided to

The three main regiments were expanded into three main brigades. Each infantry brigade has two infantry regiments, a shelf regiment with only backbones and cadres, a mountain artillery battalion and a 120mm heavy mortar battalion.

The original organizational structure of each regiment remained unchanged, except that a six-gun anti-aircraft machine gun company and a sniper platoon were added. The military region used the 107mm multiple rocket launchers produced during this period to form a 36-gun

The Gate Rocket Artillery Regiment. Together with the field artillery battalion of the original artillery regiment and the field artillery in stock, it forms the artillery force directly under the jurisdiction of the military region.

Although Yang Zhen wants to set up a multiple rocket launcher battalion for each brigade, due to the production capacity of rockets, he can only prioritize the formation of artillery regiments directly under the military region. In order to ensure the rocket artillery regiment directly under the military region under the limited production capacity

At the end of August, Yang Zhen used a large portion of the loan to urgently order 3,000 rockets from Jiangbei.

Even if they work overtime and produce, they can only maintain the supply of thirty-six multiple rocket launcher ammunition for one regiment. The rocket launcher battalions directly under each brigade can only wait until the production capacity increases in the future.

The brigade commanders and political commissars of the three brigades were directly promoted from the original regiment commanders and political commissars. After the equipment and soldiers were fully replenished, Yang Zhen's first sentence was to complete the running-in of the troops in the shortest possible time. Limited to

The situation was so tense that Yang Zhen only gave a few brigade commanders and political commissars a week to get in touch with the troops.

At the same time, in order to ensure the number of troops, especially to supplement the troops, Yang Zhen adopted a universal compulsory military system among the immigrants in Yilan, as well as in Luobei, Heli, Tangyuan, Suibin and other areas under his control. Five Ding drew two, and three Ding

Using the method of drawing one, six independent regiments each with a strength of 2,000 were expanded as quickly as possible.

Of course, with the common people generally refusing to serve as soldiers, Yang Zhen could not follow the Japanese practice, especially the method of replenishing troops on the front line by miscellaneous troops. Troops were deployed to surround a village, a machine gun was installed, and all people of suitable age were in military uniforms.

Instead, we can forcefully capture Ding by pulling them all away. However, when it is difficult to recruit soldiers, we still have to use the method of our ancestors.

In addition to all the political workers being sent out to recruit soldiers and promote the concept of protecting the country and protecting the country, Yang Zhen also came up with a very damaging trick. Find a house, burn a big kang, and all

All the young people were called to a meeting on the kang. The one who couldn't stand it stood up and was immediately crowned with a red flower and declared the honorary one.

August is the period of summer, a season when even shirtless people find it too hot. Who can bear to spend a long time on a red-hot kang? In less than half an hour, everyone in the meeting volunteered. But after using this method once

, another meeting was convened, but no matter how hard the regional cadres tried to persuade them, no one was willing to go.

It was not until later that the various preferential care policies were implemented. Not only were the preferential grains distributed to those who left the army on a monthly basis, the quantity and quality were absolutely top-notch. Each family was also given three kilograms of meat and one kilogram of sugar every month. Land was allocated.

At that time, the military families gave priority to selecting good land, and all the animals for rationing were the best.

And all the land in your family was cultivated with the help of the mutual aid association organized by local cadres. Even if an immediate relative in the family gave birth to a child, you were given priority in rationing ten pounds of eggs and a series of preferential treatment. Everyone saw it with your own eyes, and it slowly changed the difficulty of recruiting soldiers.

situation.

What really fundamentally changed this situation was Yang Zhen's continuous victories, which allowed the common people to really see hope and the hope of defeating the Japanese army. After winning the battle, those who joined the army did not have to worry about retaliation from the Japanese army at home.

There was no need to worry about being massacred by the Japanese army in Chenggou for supporting the Anti-Japanese War. The enthusiasm of the people to join the army really increased.

Later in the campaign, when Yang Zhen took advantage of his victory and launched the Battle of Jiamusi, he mobilized nearly 10,000 people into ten militia regiments in Tangyuan County with a population of less than 100,000 in just two days. Later, he swept across the Sanjiang area.

At that time, at least 6,000 people were directly incorporated into the army.

For Yang Zhen and his troops, winning battles is the foundation of everything. Without winning battles, everything is empty. Under the constant victory, it is not only the morale of the troops that is inspired, but also the people who once felt like

The people's hearts were in despair. And the work of reducing rents and interest rates in the rear was also carried out smoothly with the victory of this later known as the Autumn Battle.

Of course, this is all later, at least now Yang Zhen is still having a headache to replenish his troops. In addition to using almost every method to recruit troops, Yang Zhen even recruited several larger counties such as Luobei, Suibin, and Heli.

All the beggars in the country and the monks in the temples of all sizes, as long as they are of appropriate age, will be pulled out to replenish the troops.

In any case, with all means being used, it was fortunate that ten more independent regiments were formed as reserve soldiers before the battle began. It was just that we knew that there was no other way except to capture soldiers.

After the commander-in-chief learned about his methods of recruiting troops, what could he do besides scolding him for his wickedness?

The old tradition of the Chinese people is that good iron should not be hammered into nails, and good men should not be soldiers. Especially now that the country is in ruins, there are even fewer people willing to be soldiers. Who is willing to risk retaliation by the Japanese army?

Joining the army when the Japanese army still has an absolute advantage?

Knowing that Yang Zhen was also forced by the situation, the commander-in-chief could only take the already formed Northeast Bureau team and two high-power radio stations to go north first. They arrived at Fengxiang, Luobei County, the address chosen by Yang Zhen for the Northeast Bureau.

Town, to wipe Yang Zhen's butt. In fact, as the situation became increasingly tense, Yang Zhen's wedding originally scheduled for the end of August could no longer be held.

In addition to Yang Zhen, who goes to the front line every day to observe the enemy's situation, analyze more intelligence, and form supplementary troops, Zhang Ting, as the deputy director of the Logistics Department, is also busy mobilizing food, clothing, and a large number of medical equipment to accompany the army.

Actions, preparations for the war that even a blind man could smell the atmosphere, were also very busy.

The groom-to-be and bride-to-be, who are so close at hand, are too busy to see each other all day long. What else can be done about this wedding? And the Northeast Bureau, which is responsible for the construction of party organizations and political power in the entire Northeast, has just been established, and there are many things that need to be handled.

Big pile.

In the absence of Li Yanlu, the former commander of the Fourth Army, who was the Organization Minister and the chairman of the Northeastern Local Working Committee responsible for the construction of local political power, but had no choice but to take on his duties concurrently, the commander-in-chief was also very busy. The base area

The construction of political power in China has reached a situation where it is urgent to delay.

In desperation, the commander-in-chief, who could not force Yang Zhen to get married, could only persuade Yang Zhen to use the victory of a war as his wedding gift, and took the Northeast Bureau to work northward.

After seeing off the Commander-in-Chief, Yang Zhen, who rarely took the time to spend a short time with Zhang Ting who came to see off the Commander-in-Chief, saw that his aggressive and capable image in front of others had changed, and he was like a little bird cuddling around him.

The woman who became his fiancée, although hesitant, still put her hand firmly on Zhang Ting's shoulder.

Snuggled next to her fiancé, Zhang Ting, who had worked hard to achieve her dream, looked sweet and happy. Although she was busy during this period, even though she worked in the same army and was close to her, she rarely saw each other. The wedding date was also due to the situation.

She had to postpone due to nervousness, but Zhang Ting still felt infinite happiness.

It's just that the sweet time between the two people hugging each other did not last long. Although they were unwilling, they were still interrupted by Guo Bingxun. Taking the telegram from Guo Bingxun's hand, Yang Zhen took a closer look and turned around gently.

He kissed Zhang Ting's face and said: "I don't have time to accompany you anymore. After this battle is over, I will accompany you properly. You should pay more attention to yourself and don't run away from the guards wherever you go."

After touching the place where Yang Zhen had kissed, Zhang Ting raised her head and straightened the collar of Yang Zhen's military uniform, even though her face was crimson. Although she was extremely reluctant to part with this rare warm moment, she still said: "Go ahead,

How can a good man protect his family and country and indulge in the tenderness of a woman? Don't miss me, I will be careful. You should also pay more attention to your health. It is not good to stay up all night."

After saying that, Zhang Ting shyly kissed Yang Zhen back, turned around and ran away. When she and Yang Zhen hugged each other, her two guards turned around and did not dare to look when they saw their leader.

He left and quickly followed.

After looking at Zhang Tingjiao's beautiful back absentmindedly for a long time, Yang Zhen took the reins handed over by Xiao Huzi and said to Guo Bingxun: "Lao Guo, go back to the headquarters immediately and convene various departments to hold a combat meeting. After the meeting,

The front finger is about to go south."

After Guo Bingxun got on his horse, he heard the words and smiled at Yang Zhen: "It seems that Umezu Yoshijiro can't wait any longer. Okay, let's have a good meeting with the number one scholar of the Japanese Army University this time, and single-handedly create the He-Mei Agreement."

.What kind of person is the backbone of the Saber Group, the deputy minister of the Army Ministry, and the current general commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army."

The two of them said it lightly, but in their hearts no one wanted to delay. After rushing back to the headquarters, they immediately held a meeting with the three main brigades that had been notified yesterday and had arrived one after another, as well as the main personnel of each military division.

Operational meeting of managers.

At the meeting, Yang Zhen got straight to the point: "This morning, the Japanese army dispatched a large number of aircraft. With the support of artillery firepower, they launched a carpet bombing of our army's positions in Jiangbei. According to the Japanese army's consistent style, its large-scale attack will be here

Two days have unfolded. Now it is up to Chief of Staff Guo to talk about the headquarters' combat determination."

Hearing Yang Zhen's signal, Guo Bingxun stood up and came to the large map hanging on the wall and said: "The situation is tense, so I won't say any more nonsense. On the Eastern Front, the enemy in front of us has deployed in Fujin.

Two infantry brigades of the Japanese 11th Division and an integrated regiment of the Japanese 4th Division in the Jiang area, and strengthened a brigade of the Puppet Manchukuo Army and the 1st Division of the Puppet Manchukuo Jing'an Army."

"On the Western Front, the Japanese army deployed two infantry squadrons of the 70th Regiment of the 25th Division, the 1st Battalion of the 14th Regiment, and the 2nd Battalion of the 2nd Battalion in the Yilan and Fangzheng areas. They also reinforced the Puppet Manchukuo 4th Regiment.

The military area was mixed into the 16th and 17th Brigades, the 6th Cavalry Brigade and other puppet troops."

"The middle line, that is, the Jiamusi area, currently has the 24th Division of the Japanese Army strengthening the 40th Regiment of the 25th Division, two brigades of field artillery, and one brigades of Independence Mountain Artillery. In addition, there are also what is known as one of the most powerful combat forces of the Puppet Manchukuo Army.

The first division of the Xing'an Army, which won the championship, was assigned to fight."

"According to current understanding, the main battle plan of the Japanese army is to strictly block the banks of the Songhua River in this section of Fujin and Tongjiang on the eastern front to prevent the possibility of our army advancing eastward. The enemy on the western front is led by Shiro Kuwahara, commander of the 25th Division of the Japanese Army.

Under the command of the lieutenant general, the main purpose of the operation is to launch an attack on the flanks of our army from Yilan and Fangzheng to Tonghe and Fengshan, with the front pointed directly at Foshan."

"Cooperating with the Japanese and puppet troops who attacked from Suiling and Heihe, they cut me in half and cut off our army's retreat into the mountains. We cooperated with the main force of the Japanese army that attacked from the middle and surrounded and annihilated our army east of Tangyuan County.

Fujin, a small area in the Sanjiang Plain west of Tongjiang."

"The Japanese troops on the middle route attacked from Jiamusi and advanced towards Heli north of the Songhua River, echoing the enemies on the east and west fronts. They pressed our troops step by step to their scheduled combat areas. The Japanese troops had a big appetite. They wanted to

Kill us all in one fell swoop."

"In order to defeat the Japanese army's heavy siege of our army, the headquarters' strategic intention is for our army to strengthen the headquarters with a battalion of field artillery from the third brigade Du Kaishan and Tao Jingfei, with the cooperation of the three-district cadre regiment and local troops.

Below, hide in the mountains east of Tonghe, and cooperate with the main force to attack the 25th Division on the eastern front first."

"At the same time, Wang Guangyu's 1st brigade is arranged in a trapezoidal shape along the road from Jiamusi to Heli on the central line, and the resistance is launched step by step. The main force of the Japanese army will gradually be led to the mountainous area east of Tangyuan. You should not fight hard, but use the favorable terrain and take various measures.

The tactical resistance of mine warfare and sparrow warfare should not only prevent the Japanese troops from entering the Luobei area, but also not cause excessive casualties and cause inconvenience to subsequent operations."

"The headquarters has decided to allocate the Taisho Four-year-old heavy artillery and all the artillery shells in stock to the 1st Brigade to strengthen its blocking firepower and give the Japanese army in the middle the impression that the main force of our army is on the center line."

"The Second Brigade Liu Changshun's headquarters, in cooperation with the rocket artillery regiment and field artillery regiment directly under the headquarters, are under the unified command of the commander and I, and they are hiding in the mountains southeast of Tangyuan. Once the Japanese troops on the East Route enter the territory of Tonghe, they will attack immediately.

Cooperate with the troops of the third brigade to first completely annihilate the Japanese enemies on the eastern front."

"The troops in the first and second military divisions must be well prepared and under the unified command of political commissar Li Yanping. They must closely monitor the movements of the Japanese and puppet troops opposite their respective defense zones to prevent the Japanese and puppet troops in Heihe and Fujin from fishing in troubled waters."

"At the same time, all ministries must do a good job in clearing the fields within their respective defense areas. Take away all the food and all materials that can be taken away, and burn those that cannot be taken away. All wells along the road must be filled up. Let the Japanese and puppet troops going north get a

There is no grain of food to supplement, no sip of clean water to drink, and no intelligence support.”

"In addition, the reconnaissance battalion directly under the military region must be organized as a company-level unit, secretly sneak into enemy lines, and continue to perform the tasks of collecting Japanese intelligence and cutting off Japanese supplies."

"All ministries must immediately start preparations when they return, and the political staff of each ministry must do a good job in mobilizing the troops to ensure that each ministry successfully completes the tasks assigned by the headquarters."

When Guo Bingxun's words fell, Yang Zhen stood up and looked solemnly at the brigade commanders, political commissars, and military division commanders. The political commissar said: "This is a battle related to our life and death. If we win, we will represent us."

Completely establish a foothold in the Xiajiang area. If we lose, we will have no choice but to retreat to Jiangbei or return to the deep mountains and old forests to live a half-starved life."
