Chapter 478 Knocking Mountains and Shaking Tigers is also a Means
Yang Zhen stared carefully at the map on the wall that marked the entire battle situation. He pondered for a long time before saying: "Call Wang Guangyu back and approve him to use a mechanized and cavalry group to bypass Wengniute's left banner and outflank both sides of the Linxi battlefield.
Suggestions and ideas for the Japanese division’s retreat.”
"As long as the initiative from now on is in our hands, no matter what the Kwantung Army's next plan is, it can only follow the pointer we set. I don't believe in Yoshijiro Umezu, and would rather sit back and watch two Japanese divisions being destroyed.
Our army is encircling and there will be no reinforcements?"
"At this moment, at that moment. The previous 51st and 23rd Divisions, he can still use these two divisions to weaken the strength of our army's attack according to the overall strategic needs, and maximize the damage to our army to reduce our army's attack power.
We can explain it by our strength, but I’m afraid this result cannot be explained now.”
"And considering Wang Guangyu's character, he must be reporting and taking action at the same time. When we receive his report here, I'm afraid he has already started making preparations. He is not the kind of person who waits passively. If I hadn't
If you guessed wrong, while he was asking us for a telegram, he also sent the same telegram to Chen Hanzhang."
"Lao Guo, my idea is that since the war situation has fundamentally changed, instead of reacting passively, we might as well take advantage of the situation and take advantage of the series of changes in the war situation caused by the annihilation of the 7th Division to seize the initiative first.
Caught in our own hands."
"In this way, Du Kaishan's headquarters is ordered to continue to hide and wait. Let them not take action for the time being and prepare to serve as the general reserve for the Western Manchuria battlefield. Order Ma Chunsheng's headquarters to deploy a division and all cavalry and armored units under his command, and ask Huai
De, Lishu attacks forward, and if it can attack Changtu, it can also carry out a feint attack. It will cut off the connection between the Japanese troops on the Tongliao battlefield and the rear, creating a situation where our army wants to encircle the Japanese troops on the Tongliao battlefield."
"By approving Wang Guangyu to detour behind Linxi's frontal enemy, I actually approved his full-scale counterattack. Letting Chen Hanzhang and Ma Chunsheng attack at the same time in the direction of Tongliao will not only attract the enemy forces facing Tongliao, but also further
Confuse the Kwantung Army so that they don't know where the focus of our counterattack is.
"Lishu, the gateway to Fengtian Province in the direction of Changtu, is also the gateway to the northwest of the entire South Manchuria. We continue to launch an offensive in this direction and directly attack the South Manchu Industrial Zone. On the Zhongchang Railway, the safety of the South Manchu Industrial Zone and
Faced with the choice of the Linxi battlefield, the Kwantung Army, with its limited reserves, may still focus on the Zhongchang Railway Line and the Changtu Line."
"For the Kwantung Army, if you save the Zhongchang Railway, Changtu, and Lishu, you will save the industrial zone in South Manchuria. If there were no arsenal in Fengtian, the steel plants in Anshan and Benxi Lake, and the petrochemical industry in Fushun in South Manchuria,
Enterprises, non-ferrous metal mines in Jinxi, the Japanese are simply unable to continue the war."
"Rather than saying that the Northeast is Japan's capital for waging war, it is better to say that South Manchuria is their confidence and capital. If the Northeast is their lifeline, then South Manchuria is the top priority for waging war. Lao Guo
If you have also lived in the Northeast, you should know that compared with Northern Manchuria, Southern Manchuria is the real essence of Northeastern industry and economy.
"The food, textile, building materials, wood processing and other light industries we have recovered in Northern Manchuria, except for the branch of the Puppet Manchukuo Aviation Co., Ltd. in Harbin, are nothing more than a child's toy compared to the industries in Southern Manchuria.
Hardly worth mentioning."
"Without the industrial base in South Manchuria, the Japanese simply would not have the ability to launch a larger war. Therefore, no matter how critical the war situation in Western Manchuria is, the Kwantung Army will never dare to be careless or delay in the industrial base in South Manchuria. Zhongchang Railway
It is the lifeline of southern Manchuria, and Changtu is the gateway to the northwest of southern Manchuria."
"Compared with the mountainous terrain in Fushun, Changtu, which is mostly located in the Liaohe Plain, the terrain makes it easier for our armored groups to fight. If we threaten the medium and long-term line, we can approach Changtu and Lishu, the two western gateways to southern Manchuria.
, thus posing a threat to the South Manchuria Industrial Zone.”
"Once we break through the front line of Changtu, we can take Kaiyuan and Tieling at any time, and the troops will directly press against Fengtian. Just focusing on the Western Manchu battlefield, the Kwantung Army will never dare to take this risk. Is knocking the mountain to shake the tiger also a tactical method?
If used properly, it can defeat our tens of thousands of troops."
"If we can take the opportunity to divert the Kwantung Army's main attention from Western Manchuria, it will undoubtedly be a victory for us. At the same time, we can further reduce the pressure on the Linxi battlefield. Lao Guo,
When the false is true, the true is also false, and when the true is false, the false is also true. Only the false and the true can make up for our lack of stamina."
"For us, if we succeed in counterattacking on the Linxi battlefield, the Japanese army in the direction of Tongliao will become a dog trapped in a cage. What is our biggest advantage against the Kwantung Army? It is that our army has a large number of
Tanks, armored vehicles and cars rely more on railways than their long distance counterparts, which creates mobility advantages."
"We waited passively before because we could not figure out how many troops the Kwantung Army would send to counterattack. When the available reserves were exhausted, we could only adopt the tactic of luring the snake out of its hole. Use passivity as the initiative to attract the Kwantung Army to take the initiative.
Expose tactical intentions."
"Due to the lack of stamina, we could only deploy two regiments of troops on the front line of the Alukorqin Banner, but we didn't expect that an unintentional intervention would come. We didn't expect that this kid Yang Jicai would come and go in an extremely passive situation.
, can actually turn passivity into initiative, and can destroy the main force of the 7th Division in one morning."
"Although this is only a partial victory, it is undoubtedly a turning point in this battle for us. Now that the turning point has appeared, why should we be cautious? Prudence is necessary, but the determination must be decisive."
"Only by taking the initiative can the Japanese army set up defenses everywhere, so that they can contain more of their forces and prevent them from deploying too many troops on one battlefield. In this way, the initiative of the entire battlefield will be tightly controlled in our hands.
Unless the Japanese army concentrates a large number of tanks and vehicles, they will have no choice but to give up the initiative."
"But I tell Ma Chunsheng that he must control the rhythm. The drama should be enough to cause the Kwantung Army to be shaken. But it cannot form a situation where the army goes deep alone. On the contrary, the Japanese army will make his own dumplings. If he underestimates the enemy and advances rashly, he will not know whether to advance or retreat.
Causing losses to the troops. I, Yang Zhen, have no other abilities, but I still have the ability to kill Ma Su with tears."
"Order Wang Xiaoming's command to take over Ma Chunsheng's battle outside Xinjing. The command post and a division left by Ma Chunsheng's command launch a full-scale attack on Xinjing. Order Tao Jingfei's command to insert into North Korea eastward, enter the Baimao Plateau and
Push forward to the front line of Chongjin. Contain the North Korean army and prevent it from reinforcing the Kwantung Army."
"Order Liu Changshun's command to deploy two reinforced regiments to the direction of Jilin to protect Wang Xiaoming's flanks. The main force will be transferred to defense on the spot, cutting off the Xintu Railway and coordinating Tao Jingfei's fight with Wang Xiaoming on both sides. Tell him that after receiving the order from the headquarters
Before, even if the sky fell, he wouldn't be able to take a step back."
"As for the advancing army, it has basically completed the combat mission of seizing the Rexi Mountain area and defeated the puppet troops on the day of the invasion. However, due to excessive casualties in the previous battle, it is now resting. As for when to go north, it depends on their recovery.
However, the headquarters can coordinate the advancing army to deploy one or two brigades and cavalry units, and head north to take over their rear security tasks."
"Tell Wang Guangyu that all the Mongolian horses he captured in East Ujimqin Banner, except those originally transferred to the Cavalry Regiment of the Advance Army, will be transferred to the Advance Army. If he dares to seize a horse, I will withdraw.
He took over his position. We can ensure the strategic supplies of the advancing army, but the tactical supplies can only be relied on by them."
"Most of the areas where the advancing army operates are not originally horse-producing areas. In addition, they are all fighting on the inside. They are fighting in the base area. They can go wherever they go, and there is no need to worry about supplies other than ammunition. Its strategic supplies
It can almost be said that there is none, and the tactical supply capability is also quite poor. It lacks a complete and unified logistics system."
"The small number of horses can only be used to tow artillery and carry some supplies. Even a considerable part of the ammunition and other supplies can only be carried on the shoulders of people. As for the rest of the supplies, it is out of the question. They lack drivers.
, and our demand for trucks is at its peak. Moreover, Rexi is located in a mountainous area and the lack of roads is not suitable for the use of cars."
"Transferring these horses to them can greatly improve their mobility and tactical supply capabilities. It can also save a lot of manpower and use it for front-line combat troops. For us, it can also reduce a large part of the burden
burden."
"In addition, the supplies for the advancing army must be guaranteed, including the required gasoline and medicine. We are trying to find a way to allocate a batch of vehicles for the use of the advancing army. In addition, our ministry has trained artillery trainees for the internal troops. The headquarters has agreed to first
They will be incorporated into their artillery. After this battle is over, they will be handed over to the advancing army together with the equipment."
After Guo Bingxun recorded Yang Zhen's orders, he did not issue them immediately. Instead, he was silent for a while and said: "No. 1, how to use the advancing army in the next step is a matter of negotiation between you and the head of the advancing army. I
It is not convenient to comment at the moment.”
"But now there are three questions. First, do we really want to capture Xinjing? If we really capture it, how should we deal with the Japanese counterattack? Second, is your current deployment and adjustment situation a bit confusing?
Has it become a situation where more points are blooming? According to this deployment situation, are the existing forces of our army sufficient?"
"Third, in the current Western Manchuria battlefield, when our army's strength is still somewhat tight, is it appropriate for Du Kaishan's headquarters to continue to hide and wait? If our army's attack on the front line of Xinjing turns the feint attack into a strong attack
, the required number of troops will be quite large. From your point of view, it is better not to deploy Ma Chunsheng's troops for the time being."
"No. 1, as chief of staff, I must ask these three questions clearly so that I can better communicate them to my superiors. Your adjustment in deployment is related to how the following troops understand and implement it. In view of all aspects
Military chiefs have different understandings, and I think it is better to explain some things clearly to them. Otherwise, in terms of implementation, various deviations may easily occur based on their own different understandings."
"The current situation between the enemy and ourselves is mostly the same as at the beginning of the campaign. At the beginning, we adopted multi-point attack operations in order to conceal the true combat intention, cover the roundabout actions of Wang Guangyu's troops, and reduce the pressure after they completed the roundabout.
.But now that the Japanese army has launched a full-scale counterattack, and Tao Jingfei’s troops are entering North Korea, are our existing forces too scattered?”
