Speaking of this, Guo Bingxun shook his head and said: "In fact, the entire plan formulated by the Kwantung Army this time can be said to be interlocking, and its thinking is quite rigorous. They used three divisions on the Linxi battlefield to attack Wang first.
The reason for Guangyu's troops is not only to take advantage of Wang Guangyu's lone intrusion to take advantage of the Linxi battlefield, but also to try and confuse us."
"For Wang Guangyu, the three Japanese divisions on the Linxi battlefield have an absolute advantage in terms of strength. In terms of equipment, with the Japanese army's supplement at all costs, in addition to the number of tanks and the lack of aviation support, artillery and
Other technical arms are no worse than Wang Guangyu’s."
"It is precisely because of this confidence that they first attacked Wang Guangyu's headquarters, which is farthest from other departments of our army. It would be best if they could force Du Kaishan's headquarters to show up. If not, they would just take advantage of this opportunity to gather three
With the strength of the division and a large amount of heavy equipment, we will first deal with our army Wang Guangyu's troops on the Linxi battlefield."
"You can even shoot rabbits in the grass and cooperate with the Japanese North China Front Army in eastern Hebei to deal with the advancing troops entering Rehe and try to solve the serious problems of the Japanese army in Guan. For the Kwantung Army, this idea is absolutely
It's not just a thought. If they can severely damage Wang Guangyu's troops, they will never let go of the advancing army."
"For the Kwantung Army, even if they fail to force Du Kaishan's troops to show up, as long as this plan succeeds, they can solve the largest heavy troop group of our army on the battlefield in Western Manchuria and break two of our army's forces on the battlefield in Western Manchuria.
The most important link in a big arm."
"Because Ma Chunsheng's troops had not yet gone south at that time, our army only had Chen Hanzhang and Wang Guangyu on the battlefield in Western Manchuria. Once Wang Guangyu's troops were defeated, the remaining Chen Hanzhang's troops could be said to be surrounded by enemies on all sides, and a situation that could not be sustained by a single tree.
.The crisis in Tongliao can be resolved without a fight by then."
"Or when the Japanese army besieges the Tongliao battlefield, Chen Hanzhang's troops can be transferred to reinforce the Linxi battlefield. In this way, the crisis in Tongliao will be resolved without a fight. If our army refuses to abandon the Tongliao front line, after Wang Guangyu's troops are defeated,
When the time comes for Chen Hanzhang's command to have the Eighteenth Division behind it and the three divisions on the Linxi battlefield on its flanks, it will immediately fall into a situation of being surrounded on all sides."
"As for our army, once Wang Guangyu's command and the advancing army fail, our army's Chen Hanzhang's command in Tongliao will form a completely isolated force. No matter how reluctant it is, we can only give up the original plan and
Retreat from Tongliao as quickly as possible."
"Otherwise, coupled with the division that is now entangled with Ma Chunsheng on the flank, I am afraid that Chen Hanzhang's troops will immediately fall into a situation of encirclement from all sides. And even at this time, Du Kaishan's troops appeared on the battlefield of Tongliao and faced five Japanese divisions.
Given the group’s situation, I’m afraid there’s no way around it.”
"Even if Wang Guangyu's troops persisted in resisting under the siege of three Japanese divisions, the situation did not occur as expected by the Japanese army. However, the Kwantung Army will definitely mobilize new divisions to participate in the siege of Chen Hanzhang's troops. And in
Under heavy siege, Wang Guangyu could only protect himself, but could not support Chen Hanzhang's troops."
"The Eighteenth Division, the Fifth Division, and now they are entangled with Ma Chunsheng's troops. Their intentions are obviously a Japanese division in the Tongliao battlefield, and the Fourteenth Division that was not finally surrounded and annihilated at that time. Even if
If the three divisions on the Linxi battlefield do not join, it will be enough to put pressure on Chen Hanzhang's troops. What's more, they still have two divisions in Fengtian Province and can join the battle at any time."
"It's just that Ma Chunsheng's troops suddenly appeared in Lishu, which just disrupted the Kwantung Army's plan. If we hadn't asked Ma Chunsheng to speed up his actions, Chen Hanzhang would have been besieged on three sides during the Tongliao Campaign, or even worse.
Duo. It was the sudden appearance of Ma Chunsheng's troops that made the Kwantung Army hesitate and unprepared, which allowed Chen Hanzhang to complete it smoothly without any interference."
"And if Du Kaishan's troops reinforce the Linxi battlefield, they will use the at least equal forces formed by the three divisions and Wang Guangyu and Chen Hanzhang's troops to entangle our army on the Linxi battlefield. Concentrate the remaining troops and mobilize
The Fifth Division will first deal with Chen Hanzhang's troops in Tongliao. As long as they control the rhythm and don't take risks to advance, their tactic may not be successful."
"From the overall battle situation, if Ma Chunsheng's unexpected appearance did not break their strategic intention, their plan could even be said to have a high probability of success. For the Kwantung Army, as long as these three points are achieved,
, which is equivalent to achieving the other two points.”
"In the view of the Kwantung Army, as long as the 18th Division breaks into our depth and cuts off the supply line of Chen Hanzhang's troops, it will also pose a threat to our army's depth and cut off the connection between the Xinjing battlefield and the Western Manchuria battlefield. It can even directly threaten
On the south bank of the Songhua River, our army is on the front line of defense."
"Forcing us to put Du Kaishan's troops into the battlefield in order to ensure the safety of the flanks and rear of Chen Hanzhang's troops and maintain the offensive in the direction of Tongliao. At the same time, it can also disrupt our army's combat plan and reduce the pressure on the Xinjing battlefield. At that time, at that time
Given the development of the war situation, no matter how reluctant we are, we can only give up our attempt to hide and wait."
"The attempt to mobilize the Eighteenth Division to attack behind Chen Hanzhang's troops was not just a risky tactic adopted by the Kwantung Army in order to cut off the retreat of Chen Hanzhang's troops. The current actions of the Eighteenth Division seem to be in a hurry.
But in fact, it can be said that it was quite carefully planned, and even put a lot of thought into it. Moreover, this plan of the Japanese army is not small, and it can be said that it kills three birds with one stone."
"First, the 18th Division's detour behind Chen Hanzhang must have cut off the retreat and supply lines of Chen Hanzhang's troops, and divided the connection between Chen Hanzhang's troops and other fronts of our army. It is a strategy to prepare for the Kwantung Army's next focused counterattack on the Tongliao front line.
Intention, there is no doubt about it.”
"Second, disrupt our rear and pose a direct threat to our rear. Even if we cannot force us to transfer back to Chen Hanzhang's headquarters, we must reduce the pressure on Tongliao's front line and shake our army's determination. Third, knock on the mountain to shake the tiger, just to find out.
The true position of Du Kaishan's headquarters forces Du Kaishan's headquarters to take the initiative to appear."
"It's just that they didn't expect that the 7th Division would be wiped out in a short period of time by a combat staff officer of our army using a small number of infantry and most of the artillery. There was no threat to Lin Xi at all.
The flank of the battlefield plays a role in cooperating with the two divisions on the front."
"The accident of the 7th Division was solved in advance, so that the strength of the three Japanese divisions on the Linxi battlefield has been reduced to one out of three. At the same time, Wang Guangyu's troops can concentrate on facing the two Japanese divisions in front. They don't have to
On their flanks, there's no worry or distraction."
"At the same time, no matter whether it was on the Linxi battlefield or the direction of Tongliao, no matter when the battle situation was tense, we did not mobilize Du Kaishan's troops to participate in the battle. Even if the 18th Division penetrated deeper behind Chen Hanzhang, we would only use the original deployment in that direction
The strength of the two regiments. With the cooperation of aircraft and a large number of artillery, the tactics of weakening the enemy layer by layer were adopted to allow Du Kaishan to continue to hide and wait."
"Someone did the opposite. They transferred a reinforced division from the Xinjing battlefield to bypass the Xinjing battlefield, and forced their way south regardless of the 18th Division on the flanks. This not only ensured the safety of Chen Hanzhang's flanks, but also protected the central troops south of Xinjing.
The long railway posed a direct threat, forcing the Kwantung Army to dare not act rashly. Moreover, it formed a trident-like, simultaneous attack pattern on the battlefield in Western Manchuria."
"Ma Chunsheng's sudden appearance on the flank of the Zhongchang Railway can be said to have disrupted the Kwantung Army's original counterattack deployment, and restrained the Kwantung Army's original attack on the Japanese army on Chen Hanzhang's right wing. The only way for them to counterattack on the Tongliao line was
It forms a frontal attack, and it is impossible to concentrate superior forces to participate in the battle."
"The current situation is probably quite beyond the expectations of the Kwantung Army headquarters. With the battle going like this, it can be said that the Kwantung Army made mistakes every step of the way. After the entire seventh division was destroyed, the Linxi battlefield has entered a stalemate stage. And
On the battlefield of Tongliao, Chen Hanzhang was in danger when he attacked the front line of Tongliao with all his strength, regardless of the Eighteenth Division behind him."
"When faced with the crisis in Tongliao, the Kwantung Army could no longer take into account where Du Kaishan's headquarters was hiding and waiting, and where the battlefield would eventually appear. When it wanted to concentrate its final forces to launch a counterattack against Chen Hanzhang's headquarters, it was not only a matter of time, but
It was too late, and the plan was completely disrupted by the sudden appearance of Ma Chunsheng's troops."
"The initiative in the entire Western Manchuria campaign can be said to be firmly in our hands at present. Unless the Japanese base camp mobilizes troops from within the Pass or domestically to reinforce the Kwantung Army at all costs, they will now be unable to change the situation of the war. In other words,
Our army has already secured victory in the Western Manchuria region, and now all we need to face is the problem of how to digest it."
"But on the 1st, if we want to terminate the continuation of the campaign, it is not something we can decide unilaterally. If we want to act according to our ideas, we still need to adopt a certain confusing posture. Otherwise, once the Kwantung Army becomes vicious again,
, a cunning evil wolf, going completely crazy, maybe we will be bitten."
"The most dangerous thing on the battlefield is knowing that the opponent still has a certain strength, but never showing up on the battlefield. So not only can we not let Du Kaishan's troops appear on the battlefield at this juncture,
. We also need to find a way from the eastern front to allocate some troops to continue to hide and wait, so that the Kwantung Army can't figure out what we want to do next."
After Guo Bingxun took a sip of water, he hesitated and continued: "No. 1, in fact, we are very lucky to be able to achieve the current situation on the battlefield. If we judge every move of the Japanese army, even if it is slightly
Any mistakes may have serious consequences.”
"And every loophole we make, once caught by the Japanese army, will pose a fatal threat to us. If we are not always quick to grasp and adjust the battle situation, then the Kwantung Army's painstaking calculations will
Under this situation, our Western Manchuria campaign will probably fail, at least we will not achieve the current results."
"No. 1, at least when Wang Guangyu launched the roundabout operation, we did not expect that the Kwantung Army would use a division of the 23rd Division to weaken our strength, judge our specific dynamics, and destroy the river embankment and flood the river for them.
The tactic of using a large number of troops to win time."
"I never thought that the Kwantung Army, which has always been proud of its force, would use air attacks to destroy river embankments, artificially create floods, and create opportunities for it to reverse the situation of the war. If it succeeds, we will not only face hundreds of thousands of troops in Jiangnan and
It’s hard to say whether the equipment can be withdrawn or not.”
"Fortunately, although our aviation force's performance was unsatisfactory, it finally did not let the Kwantung Army's conspiracy succeed. But on the 1st, if we want to temporarily shrink and digest the results we have achieved, then we must take
A certain method. Our current enemy is not only a ferocious wolf, but also a cunning fox."
Speaking of this, Guo Bingxun shook his head and said: "In fact, the entire plan formulated by the Kwantung Army this time can be said to be interlocking, and its thinking is quite rigorous. They used three divisions on the Linxi battlefield to attack Wang first.
