Chapter 262 Let the 40th regiment let the bloodletting
Hearing a familiar voice coming from his ears, Wang Guangyu quickly turned around. But he found that at some point, Yang Zhen and Guo Bingxun had walked into his headquarters, which was only a hundred meters away from the front. [.Com text] See
When the two people came in, Wang Guangyu quickly stood at attention and saluted: "Commander, Chief of Staff, why are you here? It's too dangerous here."
Regarding Wang Guangyu's three-point surprise and seven-point worry when he saw the two of them arriving, Yang Zhen waved his hand and said: "You can set up the headquarters here, why can't the chief of staff and I not come? Okay, nothing else.
Stop talking, hurry up and report the situation as soon as possible."
As soon as Yang Zhen came in, he didn't ask anything else, but he was eager to understand the situation. Wang Guangyu's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he said excitedly: "Commander, you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. Today you come to me
Come here, are you ready to launch a full-scale counterattack?"
Yang Zhen smiled unfazed by Wang Guangyu's rashness and said, "Yes, Liu Changshun's second brigade has been replenished. Now, together with the field artillery regiment directly under the headquarters, the rocket artillery regiment has secretly moved to the Pangjiadian line on the Japanese left wing.
Preparations have already begun for a counterattack. The headquarters cavalry battalion, with the cooperation of the first reconnaissance battalion, has secretly moved to the front line of Wangshazitun to cut off the supply line of the 24th Division at any time."
"However, as for when to start counterattack, it depends on the situation on your side. Even if the main force of the 22nd Regiment of the 25th Division is not here, the 89th Regiment has withdrawn to Jiamusi to rest due to excessive losses.
.But there are still two reorganized regiments, plus one of the 32nd Regiment. So we have to wait until their forces are almost exhausted before we can counterattack across the board and try to eliminate them all in one go."
"Otherwise, once the war becomes a stalemate, the main force of our army will be entangled by the Japanese army. The Japanese troops in Fujin and Tongjiang can pounce on the back of our army at any time. At that time, with the cooperation between the inside and outside of the 25th Division, our army will inevitably be in a dangerous situation.
.So this battle must be won or lost in one fell swoop. The Japanese army can afford it, but our army cannot."
From Yang Zhen's heavy tone, Wang Guangyu, who was deeply aware of the heavy responsibility, did not dare to delay, and quickly opened the map and said: "Since our army withdrew to the Jiangjunshi line on September 4, the Japanese army first used its 32nd Regiment
A field detachment composed of the First Division and a brigade of the 22nd Regiment launched an attack on our army."
"Due to the lack of effective heavy fire cover in the battle in the first two days, its attack was very weak. Since the two reinforced field artillery brigades arrived three days ago, its attack intensity has skyrocketed. After three days of fierce fighting, except for
Outside of several outposts, although our army held most of the main positions and commanding heights, it suffered heavy casualties."
When talking about casualties, Wang Guangyu couldn't help but sound a little low when he said: "My main regiment has been disabled, especially the company and platoon-level cadres on the front line who suffered the most casualties. In three days, just three days, Commander.
Almost all company and platoon commanders in a regiment have been replaced. Some companies cannot even form a squad with the remaining members."
"As for the main right-wing highland of the main peak, which was the main target of the Japanese attack, the whole company that was stationed there was killed. No one survived, including the lightly or seriously wounded. In order to regain the center point of the entire defense line, 80% of my entire main battalion was used.
They were all left there. My chief of staff also died while directing the battle on the front line."
"Now on the front-line position, the Second Regiment, which was formed based on the original First Regiment and Second Battalion, is responsible for the defense. The Second Regiment's supplementary soldiers who have not participated in combat account for the majority, and their combat effectiveness is worse than that of the First Regiment. While the Japanese army
They have been replaced by the Forty Regiment, which has never participated in combat before and is still extremely complete."
"If it weren't for the strong backbones transferred from the first regiment, and my headquarters was behind them, I'm afraid that under the repeated attacks of the 40th Regiment, the position of the second regiment would have collapsed in one day. In order to stabilize the front-line position,
I sent out my guard company and most of the staff from the headquarters, and went down to the second regiment to supervise the battle."
Regarding Wang Guangyu's report, Yang Zhen listened carefully and nodded gently to Guo Bingxun on the side: "Jianbo has not been used before it is used now. It was originally used to protect his flanks and the Forty Alliance as a reserve team.
The team replaced the field detachment, which shows that the Japanese casualties are probably not small. Otherwise, they would not risk the empty flanks and transfer the 40th Regiment to serve as the main attack."
After saying that, Yang Zhen turned to Wang Guangyu and said: "Now it seems that Gengenbo has invested all its main forces in front of you. This old devil is going to fight for his life. From this point of view, you have already exceeded your quota."
You have completed the task assigned to you by the headquarters. But have you noticed one thing? Where is the main force of the 22nd Regiment crossing the river from the east of Jiamusi?"
Regarding Yang Zhen's sudden inquiry about the situation of the two infantry brigades of the 22nd Regiment that had been introduced into the large swampland in the northeast of Tangyuan by a small group of troops he sent, Wang Guangyu smiled and said: "Commander, the 22nd Regiment
The swamp the alliance was trapped in stretches across almost the entire northeastern part of Tangyuan and the southeastern part of Luobei."
"It used to be that I had been fighting within the 11th Division. I had just been transferred from Guan Nei, and I didn't know the terrain there. If the 22nd Regiment wanted to completely get out of the swamp that stretched for hundreds of miles, I'm afraid they would have to escape even if they didn't die.
Chengpi. After passing through the strong walls and clear fields before us, Matsuzaki Rikio can't even find a guide now."
"Right now, they are still wading in the muddy pond in that swamp. One of my companies, with the cooperation of the local armed forces in the first division, is closely monitoring them. The newly formed Luobei County brigade in the first division are all natives of Luobei.
They know it very well. Where there is traffic and where there is a dead end, they know very well. With their cooperation, the 22nd Regiment cannot escape our surveillance."
Yang Zhen was extremely satisfied with Wang Guangyu's meticulous deployment. After exchanging appreciative glances with Guo Bingxun, Guo Bingxun said: "Commander Wang, look at the current combat effectiveness of the 25th Japanese Division.
How many? How many more days will it take to reach the level we need to fight back?"
Guo Bingxun's question made Wang Guangyu slightly stunned before he said: "Although after three days of fierce fighting, my main regiment was crippled. But the Japanese casualties were definitely not light. Judging from the confessions of captured Japanese prisoners of war,
Its Yechi Jiaping detachment has lost its offensive capabilities due to excessive casualties."
"After being replaced by Lieutenant General Nemoto Hiroshi, its three infantry brigades could only be temporarily reduced into one infantry brigade, responsible for protecting the Japanese supply lines. However, the 40th Regiment strengthened by the 24th Division is still extremely complete, and its
Not to mention his extremely ferocious fighting ability, and his extremely tenacious style."
"This 40th Regiment will probably become the biggest obstacle to our army's comprehensive counterattack. If this 40th Regiment is not completely disabled, our full-line counterattack will be severely damaged. Commander, Chief of Staff, this 40th Regiment
After all, they are from the elite of the Japanese army. Not only the 4th Division we encountered before, but also the 104th Division are far incomparable. Even the 32nd Regiment drawn from the old Japanese divisions are also incomparable."
"In terms of the quality of individual soldiers, as well as the overall infantry and artillery coordination capabilities, the tactical command and coordination capabilities of the grassroots units are not only far superior to our new troops. Even the old backbone troops are far behind compared with them. This is one of my
Instead of drawing out the regiment to compete individually, with equal strength and firepower, I'm afraid they are no match for them."
"Regardless of the other units of the 25th Division, this 40th Regiment alone requires us to deploy two main force groups to deal with it. The main force group I am talking about is not the current main force group. It is the original two main force groups.
.If these newly formed regiments were replaced, I'm afraid there would be even more. Although these newly formed units have completed full training, their combat experience is still shallow. Many experiences on the battlefield cannot be experienced through training.
.”
"And not only the Japanese Army's Forty Regiment's combat effectiveness is still extremely intact, Nebo also transferred the Engineer Regiment of its 25th Division yesterday to take over the Forty Regiment's protection of its flanks. The Japanese Army's engineers
Although the combat effectiveness of the regiment is slightly inferior to that of its infantry unit, it is no less than our newly formed unit."
Yang Zhen sat there and listened quietly to Wang Guangyu's analysis of the 40th Regiment. After Wang Guangyu finished his report, he spoke: "How do you think we should fight this battle next? How long do you need?"
Weaken this Forty Alliance to the point where we can have a guaranteed chance of victory."
"I can tell you clearly that our counterattack must be launched across the board within three days. The Japanese army is not a fool. They will not be unaware that we have assembled heavy troops on their flanks for a long time. The Japanese army's tactical reconnaissance capabilities are still extremely strong.
, especially since it has been operating in Tangyuan and Heli for many years, its intelligence collection capabilities are much higher than ours."
"And the Japanese army will not remain indifferent to the loss of contact with the 70th Regiment. Although in Fengshan and Tonghe, Deputy Commander Zhao Shangzhi commanded the three division troops plus Du Kaishan's third brigade have completely surrounded the 14th Regiment.
Expand it and show the movement of the main force there, but I don’t know how long it can be hidden.”
"Once the Japanese army is aware of our movements, they will take advantage of the transportation lines they control to quickly mobilize reinforcements. According to reports from the reconnaissance battalion, the Japanese army has set up two pontoon bridges on the Songhua River. One of them is a train transferred from Harbin.
Ferry. Now the Japanese military trains can drive directly from Jiamusi to Jiangjunshi Station."
"So we must cleanly annihilate the 25th Division in Heli before the Japanese army is fully aware of our specific movements. As long as we can devour the 25th Division, we can say that in this battle
We are certain to win. Not only can we sweep through Fujin and Tongjiang, we may even take advantage of the situation and go straight to Jiamusi."
When Yang Zhen finished speaking about his strategic concept, Wang Guangyu couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. However, after seeing the calmness on Yang Zhen's face after saying these words, Wang Guangyu's surging heart also quickly followed.
He calmed down. After staring at the map for a long time, Wang Guangyu said: "Commander, give me two days, and I promise to reduce the combat effectiveness of this 40th Regiment to half."
Having said this, Wang Guangyu raised his head and looked at Yang Zhen and Guo Bingxun in front of him and said: "But Commander, I need veterans. Especially experienced veterans who have participated in the Qunce Mountain and Guanmenzuizi Mountain battles. In addition, the military region starts from Jiangbei
I am allocating 2,000 imported Soviet-made grenades."
"This kind of grenade, which has a killing range of about thirty meters and is extremely powerful, is very suitable for current defensive operations. In addition to grenades, I will be allocated ten Type 96 light machine guns or our own modified light machine guns. If there is no Type 96 light machine gun,
Type 6 light machine guns, French-made light machine guns used by the supplementary regiment can also be used.”
"Our brigade is equipped with too few self-modified machine guns, and most of them still use crooked machine guns. But the ammunition hoppers used by this crooked machine gun are too easy to damage. The Japanese ground and air firepower is very fierce, and our soldiers' experience
Insufficient. Once the bucket is damaged, the entire machine gun will be completely scrapped. Not to mention damage, even if some mud gets into the bucket, the entire machine gun will basically become a decoration."
"After a few days of fierce fighting, one-third of our brigade's light machine guns have been lost. Except for those lost by direct hits from Japanese artillery fire, almost all of them were such losses. The heavy machine guns were under direct Japanese artillery fire.
It can only be stored in a few fixed reinforced concrete fortifications. Forward troops mainly rely on light machine guns for combat. Once the light machine guns are lost, the firepower of the forward positions will be greatly weakened."
Regarding Wang Guangyu's request, Yang Zhen said without thinking: "Okay, I will ask the chief of staff to allocate a battalion to you from the old troops of the Second Brigade. In addition, I will allocate twenty veterans from the headquarters security company to you.
You. As for the Soviet-made grenades you want, the arsenal has not yet started mass production, and the headquarters does not have much quantity in hand right now."
"Two thousand is not that much. There are more than a thousand that can be allocated to you. I will give you twenty machine guns, all of which are the new Type 96 light machine guns in stock. Apart from these, do you have any other requirements?
The chief of staff and I are here to solve it for you as soon as possible. But after giving you these, you must hold on for forty-eight hours."
Wang Guangyu nodded firmly and said: "Commander, please rest assured, as long as the backbone of the second brigade is in place, I guarantee that within forty-eight hours, General Shishan's front line will be as stable as Mount Tai. I will also do my best to bleed the forty regiment."
.”
Wang Guangyu's affirmative answer made Yang Zhen nodded slightly and said: "The chief of staff and I will stay here for the past two days. But we won't disturb your command. I have already sent people to the headquarters behind you.
A new headquarters was built and we watched the battle there."
"If you don't fight well in the past two days and lose the front line, the Chief of Staff and I will be directly exposed to the firepower of the Japanese army."
Hearing that Yang Zhen was planning to set up the new headquarters behind him, Wang Guangyu quickly said: "Commander, this is not possible. There are Japanese aircraft here and artillery below. If anything happens to the headquarters, I will
How to explain it to the commander-in-chief? You should move the headquarters back to the relatively safe front line of Guanmenzuizi Mountain. I guarantee that within two days, the general's front line of stone will be as stable as Mount Tai."
Looking at Wang Guangyu's eager eyes, Yang Zhen shook his head firmly and said: "No, the chief of staff and I are not going there either. Our headquarters is behind you."
