Chapter 388 The people of the whole country are paying attention to us
After Wang Guangyu finished speaking, Yi Jianping took up the topic and said: "Immediately inform all the officers in the Political Department, immediately go down to the front-line troops, do a good job in the ideological work of the troops, and be sure to inform the entire army of the importance of this battle.
Tell them that this battle is related to whether our army can firmly control the initiative in the entire Northeast War situation in the future, and whether our army can further develop and grow."
"At the same time, notify the entire army and tell them that No. 1 is paying attention to this battle. The Party Central Committee is paying attention to this battle in Yan'an. The whole country is paying attention to our battle. At this moment, people all over the country are watching our people's armed forces, the best of the Chinese nation.
Can a group of sons and daughters avenge the countless compatriots who have died under the knife of the Japanese army since the Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War?"
"We are paying attention to whether our armed forces from the white mountains and black waters can really lead them out of this suffering. Can they see the light and hope and the future of the nation. I hope that all officers and soldiers of the army will continue to work hard and fight the enemy bravely.
Apologizing to the Chinese nation for decades of humiliation since the Sino-Japanese War."
"The commander and I will always be with you and the entire army. The No. 1 commander and all the commanders at the headquarters are also waiting for the good news of our entire army. Let us work together to use our actions to achieve
The oath we made when we joined the army: Use me in the first battle, and you will win if you use me."
Yi Jianping, who was born as a college student, is indeed very eloquent. In just a few words, not to mention the troops below, even Yang Jicai who was present now was so excited that his blood went straight to his head. Yi Jianping's words were very rare.
Yang Jicai, who was slightly out of sorts, saluted the three leaders in front of him with a standard military salute, then turned around and left the war room to issue orders.
After receiving the order from Wang Guangyu and Yi Jianping, the two top military and political officials, which was equivalent to a general mobilization order, they detoured through various departments of the army and without any delay, in just twenty minutes, the commander and political commissar were dispatched.
All orders were conveyed to all departments of the army and all troops on the front line.
From the cavalry brigade to the grooms to the most ordinary recruit among the frontline troops, everyone heard the general mobilization order conveyed by their superiors. At this time, they were deployed from Linxi in the south, to Bahrain's left and right banners in the west, and to A'a in the north.
All the troops participating in the Linxi battlefield, such as Luhorqin Banner and Zalut Banner, were overwhelmed by Yi Jianping's mobilization slogans and the fatigue after the exciting long battle. At this moment, all the commanders and soldiers clenched their weapons, waiting for the final victory.
The moment has come.
When the hands of the clock in front of Wang Guangyu and Hisao Tani, the two highest commanders on the Western Manchu battlefield, pointed to three o'clock in the afternoon, they started from the Wengniute Left Banner in front of Linxi and the southeastern area of Alukorqin Banner.
Lu and others surrounded the Linxi battlefield, and it could be said that intensive artillery fire rang out within a minute.
The Kwantung Army, following the Japanese habit of always being punctual, concentrated the forces of three divisions on time. With the cooperation of a large number of artillery and a small amount of aviation, it launched a full-line attack on the outflanking troops from Linxi to the central part of Alukorqin Banner. And took
They adopted the tactics of forced frontal push and roundabout flanking, trying to encircle the roundabout troops and cut off their connection with Chen Hanzhang's troops in Tongliao.
At the same time, two divisions of the Japanese army equipped with a large number of trucks set off from the Horqin Left Front Banner and Kangping, and forcibly penetrated in the direction of Kailu and Shuangshan, trying to bypass Chen Hanzhang's flank on the Tongliao battlefield, and forcibly
Cut off the connection between Chen Hanzhang and the Xinjing battlefield, and cut off the relatively fragile supply line behind Chen Hanzhang.
When he heard the intensive artillery fire around the Linxi battlefield and received a report from the frontline troops that the Japanese troops launched an attack on his surroundings with the 7th, 11th and 13th divisions, Wang Guangyu's first reaction was
What was supposed to come finally came. And with the sound of artillery fire from the Japanese counterattack, Wang Guangyu's heart that had been hanging before was finally relieved.
No matter what tricks the Kwantung Army plays, Wang Guangyu is not worried. Because he has a mobile force composed of cavalry, tank groups, and a large number of cars. At least in terms of mobility, he has a firm advantage. The Japanese army has a firm advantage no matter on the battlefield.
No matter what tricks you play, you don’t have to worry too much.
However, long and tense waiting can easily cause the troops to become mentally fatigued and relax. Once the troops relax, it is easy for the Japanese army to take advantage of it. Now that the Japanese army has started fighting, at least
The mental pressure on the troops can be fundamentally relieved.
Listening to the report from the troops below, Wang Guangyu clicked on the map and said to Yi Jianping and Sun Wenjiu beside him: "No. 1's judgment is quite accurate. The Kwantung Army's action did not exceed our previous predictions.
.At least from the current point of view, the main idea of the Japanese army in this battle is to rely on its superior strength and adopt a frontal attack combined with flanking detours, hoping to disrupt our overall defense and then divide our army."
"Although the number of Japanese troops concentrated exceeds our imagination, it is not a big problem. Judging from the numbers of the Japanese divisions participating in the war that have been exposed, the pressure brought to us has not exceeded expectations. Moreover,
The actions of the Japanese army were basically based on No. 1’s judgment, so this battle is very likely to be easier to fight than we imagined. Although we were passive in responding to the battle, we still seized the opportunity."
Compared with Wang Guangyu's relatively relaxed attitude, Yi Jianping frowned and said: "Old Wang, the main force of the first division from Linxi to Daban is currently concentrated on the front line. Even if they are currently passively responding to the battle, with the strength and strength here,
Equipment, we have nothing to worry about.”
"With the combat effectiveness and style of the First Division, and the casualties on the previous battlefield have been replenished, the organization is complete. Not to mention that the Japanese army only deployed two divisions on the Linxi battlefield, and there is just one more, hoping to completely defeat it.
The First Division is not that easy. I am still confident about the Linxi battlefield in front of us. The First Division is a unit you personally led, and you should be more confident about this, Lao Wang, than I am."
"But our army currently only has two regiments on the line from Lindong to Alukorqin Banner. And they are all new troops formed before this battle started. Not only do the troops lack actual combat experience, but their equipment is also incomparable with the old troops.
In comparison, he was also the last one to arrive on the battlefield. Apart from fighting a few battles with the defeated puppet Mongolian army, he had almost never been on the battlefield."
"Indeed, they have completed full training. But Lao Wang, you are a military commander. Even if the troops have not been on the battlefield, even if they have completed full training, you should know the actual combat effectiveness. No. 1 often said that he has never seen it
A bloody wolf is worse than a dog. A soldier who has never seen blood will always be a recruit."
"Not only do they have no combat experience, but their equipment cannot be compared with the old troops. In addition to the rocket launchers and recoilless rifles, the equipment standards are the same as those of the old troops. These two and a half regiments are all made of Polish rifles and light machine guns.
, French-made heavy machine guns and six-zero gun configuration standards are almost half less than those of the old army."
"Except for the attached 75mm mountain artillery battalion, and each regiment has only four 90mm Japanese mortars and four Type 92 infantry guns, there are almost no heavy weapons. And currently, they appear in the Alukorqin Banner.
The Japanese army is its elite 7th Division. Not only is it powerful in combat, but its troops and equipment are far superior to our defensive forces."
"We used two newly formed regiments to block and strengthen a field heavy artillery brigade, plus four fully equipped divisions of tank squadrons. Isn't it a bit too big? If the direction of the Alukorqin Banner,
Once it is broken through, it will not have much impact on our overall situation in a short period of time."
"But if time goes on, not only our troops in the left and right banners of Bahrain will be attracted, but also the already fragile supply lines that have been established with the rear area will all be cut off. And the cooperation with Chen Hanzhang will be cut off.
, I’m afraid it’s also easy to cause trouble.”
"I also know that our main plan in this direction is to use ground and air firepower to continuously weaken the Japanese army's offensive capabilities during the Japanese army's operations. However, aircraft and heavy artillery can only weaken the Japanese army's offensive strength, but they cannot completely contain the Japanese army.
The offensive posture. The battle on the ground will ultimately be resolved by infantry."
"Old Wang, your military service is much longer than mine. And the time you have fought against the Japanese army is far longer than that of any commander in the Guan Nei army. As for the Japanese army, especially the resilience of this veteran division on the battlefield,
You, Mr. Wang, know better than I do. We cannot completely defeat them by relying on firepower alone. And for such a well-trained veteran division, I think it is still a big question how much our firepower can weaken their combat effectiveness.
problem."
"Lao Wang, I think we should be as cautious as possible. Should we transfer a main regiment from the first division and replace another regiment? And in that direction, should we send a capable man to command? So?
We can't handle it to prevent accidents. Although Alukorqin Banner is not considered the main battlefield, it is not enough to only send one deputy division commander to command."
"In addition, I am also worried that if the Japanese army cannot attack Lin Xi for a long time, will they turn around and head south? Launch an attack from the joint between our army and the advancing army? The Wengniute Banner is connected to the mountains and rivers of Chifeng. Once the Japanese army changes its main attack direction,
, so where is the advancing army that has now devoted all its forces to fighting the Japanese and Japanese puppet troops in Jehol?"
Although he is a political commissar, Yi Jianping's focus is still quite accurate. His worries are not unreasonable. Firepower can weaken the Japanese offensive, but it cannot disintegrate it. What he said is correct.
Judging from the deployment of the entire Linxi battlefield anti-union forces, the Aruhorqin Banner was the weakest link.
Once the Japanese army succeeds there, the Linxi battlefield will be completely isolated. The supply line passing through the western area of Aruhorqin Banner will also be cut off. The most important thing is that there will definitely be coordination between the roundabout troops and Chen Hanzhang's troops in the direction of Tongliao.
Some problems, although not necessarily fatal, cannot help but affect the progress of the battle.
Moreover, if the Japanese army is unable to attack in the west direction of Linlin for a long time, or if its offensive is frustrated, it is impossible to guarantee whether the Japanese army will turn around and launch an attack south from Wengniute Banner to the advancing army in Rehe, which is far away from Rehe.
The river is really too close. It can even be said that the current Linxi battlefield and Rehe battlefield have formed a whole.
The Wengniute Banner is connected to the Chifeng mountains and rivers, and Linxi and the paddock are also within easy reach. Once the Japanese army mobilizes heavy troops to enter Rehe to participate in the battle, will the advancing army, which is currently engaged in a fierce battle with the Kwantung Army’s Rehe Independent Guards, be able to withstand it?
The pressure from both sides really made Yi Jianping a little worried.
Facing the Japanese army, which had an absolute advantage in terms of military strength, Yi Jianping seemed a little worried. Although he never interfered with the command of military commanders, as the top political chief of the entire Linxi battlefield, or as the leader of the detour troops,
