In fact, Yang Zhen dared to do this when the war was approaching, and he still had a certain confidence in his heart. His confidence was brought to him by the three main brigades. [.Com text] He believed in the three main brigades.
Both the commander and the political commissar are absolutely reliable. Even if he is gone, as long as the commander-in-chief and Guo Bingxun are there, the situation will not be disrupted.
As for the three divisions, in Yang Zhen's opinion, there should be no big problems with the commander-in-chief in charge. If problems do arise, more of them should appear in the newly formed troops. The Luobei County Brigade appeared
The incident sounded the alarm for Yang Zhen. It made him realize that expanding too quickly was not a good thing for a young army with a weak foundation. Especially when the backbone casualty rate was definitely not light.
The reason why Yang Zhen formulated this covert plan was, firstly, to let the Japanese army relax their vigilance. Secondly, it was also to see if there would be chaos among his own troops when he was unable to command them. More importantly, whether there would be a certain situation.
Some cases of fishing in troubled waters with ulterior motives.
Now that we have decided to adopt this plan, it is better to do a general cleanup at once. The army is expanding too fast, and there is an extreme shortage of personnel in all positions. The recruitment is too hasty, and there is too much desire for educated cadres, which makes the army confused during the expansion.
A mixed bag.
Of course, Yang Zhen did not expect that under such a complicated situation, the troops could still be as clear as a pool of water. Even among the four major field armies of later generations, when it comes to agents without independent agents, I am afraid that
No one would believe it. Later generations of Yang Zhen once saw a piece of information. It said that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, if there was any abnormality in what happened in Beijing, the other side of the Taiwan Strait would know in three days.
What happened on the other side of the strait will be sent to the desk of the relevant departments in Beijing that day. Yang Zhen asked himself that he did not have the means of the military control and secrecy bureau that had been operating for more than ten years, or even decades.
Not to mention the security department after the founding of the People's Republic of China, which has the skills of veteran revolutionaries who have carried out decades of arduous struggle in a long and complex environment. Since then, before the reform and opening up, it was known as the Iron Curtain, and class struggle was more important than anything else. To guard against all enemy agents is like guarding against thieves in the country.
There is no way to avoid leaking secrets, not to mention that now I am almost starting from scratch?
Knowing that it is impossible to completely eliminate them, Yang Zhen at least believes that whether it is the main force or local troops, cadres at all levels, whether they are Japanese and puppet spies or those who belong to certain special departments in Jiangbei, must be eliminated. Especially in Jiangbei.
, we must not let their hands penetrate too deeply into our own troops.
Yang Zhen has always been useful to Jiangbei, but he is more defensive. He has always been worried that Jiangbei is almost under the banner of internationalism, but in fact he puts his own interests first. As long as his own interests are threatened, the methods he uses can be described as
It's the omnipotent big brother who has stretched his hands too far in his own army.
Once the big brother thinks that his existence poses a threat to his interests, I am afraid that he will fall out faster than turning over a book. Although Yang Zhen knows that at least before the end of World War II, as long as the Kwantung Army occupies the Northeast for a day, the two armies that use each other will
There will not and cannot be too many gaps between us.
But in Yang Zhen's view, although the possibility of a falling out is unlikely, precautions should still be taken. At least they should not let them extend their hands into his troops. This big brother is taking the fire under the cauldron, and adding insult to injury, Yang Zhen is
Later generations have heard too much about it. So his wariness of Jiangbei was no less than that of the Japanese and puppet troops.
Yang Zhen did not overestimate his own strength, although his absence caused some turmoil in the army. But judging from Guo Bingxun's almost daily reporting telegram, overall the three field brigades are still extremely stable. Several brigade commanders, political commissars
They all made it clear that they obeyed the orders of the political commissar and chief of staff. Although they almost sent several telegrams a day to inquire about Yang Zhen's condition, they all tried their best to stabilize the mood of the troops.
Although Chen Hanzhang took over as commander and political commissar of the first division and the third division led by Zhao Shangzhi, although they called several times a day to inquire about Yang Zhen's condition, they also sent telegrams to the commander-in-chief and the military headquarters to express their support for the command. Only the second division
But there has been no movement. Except for a telegram sent by the district political commissar in his own name to inquire about Yang Zhen's condition, the former commander of the Seventh Army, as commander, has never said a word.
As for the delay in expressing his position on the Second Division, Yang Zhen did not delve into it, nor did he make any statement. He just replied to a telegram to wait and see what happens, without saying a single extra word. He turned more energy to
The Japanese army is about to launch a new round of offensive.
As soon as the Second Division, which was transferred by General Umezu Yoshijiro to carry out a new round of suppression, arrived in Jiamusi, Yang Zhen already knew about it. For this fully-staffed Second Division, it is still a rare four-regiment formation in the Japanese army.
Yang Zhen attached great importance to the group and did not dare to relax at all.
On the fifth day when Yang Zhen pretended to be ill, the Japanese army's all-out air raids on the area controlled by Yang Zhen had subsided again. The Fourth Regiment of the Japanese Second Division forcibly crossed the Songhua River as a symbol. This was later called
The second phase of the Battle of Xiajiang was in full swing. The sound of artillery that had subsided for less than a few days once again resounded on both sides of the Songhua River.
On the same day that the Fourth Regiment of the Second Division forcibly crossed the Songhua River, the 14th Regiment of the Japanese 25th Division, which had been stagnant at the Haoliang River, was reinforced by the division's engineering and search regiments.
Under the cover of the enemy, a fierce attack was launched to the north. A fierce battle broke out with the three-district core group surrounding it.
In order to avoid reoccurring in the first stage of the battle, when the troops were divided and marched north, they were gradually weakened by the opponent's sniper attacks. This time, Umezu Yoshijiro did not use the Japanese army's usual tactics of dividing the troops and combining flank and frontal attacks.
All four regiments of the Second Division were thrown into the attack at once. The tactic of three regiments advancing at the same time and one regiment supporting from behind was adopted.
As a veteran force of the Japanese army, the main recruitment site is Sendai. Together with the Sixth Division, the Second Division has become one of the two most powerful divisions of the Japanese army. With the current large number of new divisions added by the Japanese army, the Kwantung Army has the largest number.
There are not many four-unit divisions. The combat effectiveness of the second division can be said to be extremely powerful.
After the September 18th Incident, it was this Second Division, which was the only active division of the Kwantung Army at that time, that occupied the entire Northeast with a mere division of more than 20,000 troops. Although there were factors outside the battlefield,
However, the Second Division's ability to defeat resistance from all over the Northeast in a short period of time also proved that its combat effectiveness should never be underestimated.
As for Lieutenant General Anjing Toji, the commander of the Second Division, he is an old acquaintance of Yang Zhen. The two once faced each other directly at the Wudaolingzi Iron Mine. Although Anjing Toji did not know that the two had ever been close to each other.
, but Yang Zhen has seen the majestic appearance of this division commander.
When Yang Zhen was protruding out of Harbin, it was the Second Division troops stationed in Harbin under the command of Lieutenant General Yasui Toji who had just been transferred to the second division commander. It was only the pursuit commanded by Yasui Toji.
The soldiers were simply thrown away by Yang Zhen using ingenious means.
The two armies, which could be regarded as old acquaintances, met again, and a great enthusiasm broke out between them. The intensity of their firepower could not even be compared to the most intense Battle of Songhu between China and Japan.
With the experience and lessons of the 24th Division, Yasui Fujiji seemed a little cautious after crossing the Songhua River. Not only did he send a large number of leading soldiers as scouts to conduct a rigorous search of all forward routes, but he even concentrated artillery fire at the first sign of trouble.
A sudden bombardment.
Seeing the behavior of the Second Division, Liu Changshun and Wang Xiaoming, who knew that the Japanese army had suffered a heavy loss and could not be fooled again, had no choice but to give up the tactics they originally planned to adopt, Wang Guangyu had used mobile ambush, and could only rely on the terrain to adopt strategic measures
Fight with each other step by step and fight head-on.
After all, the Japanese Second Division has a long-standing reputation, and its combat effectiveness can definitely be said to be extremely powerful. As soon as it came up, under the cover of aircraft and mountain artillery directly under the division, it launched a wave-like attack on Liu Changshun's blocking position. Its attack
It was the first time Liu Changshun had seen such a strong momentum and strength, but he rarely blocked the attack and more often adopted roundabout attacks.
Except for a few hills, the mountains from the north bank of the Songhua River to Jiangjunshi in Heli are almost all flat plains. We can only rely on these few hilly terrains to fight hard. On the first day, we encountered
The tough Liu Changshun fought extremely hard.
After a day of fierce fighting, although the three battalions responsible for the first wave of blocking troops were stationed north of the Songhua River, Wang Guangyu disabled the 89th Regiment's hillock, but they themselves also suffered a huge price of casualties.
After the fierce fighting on the first day, the three battalions could barely form one battalion, and the casualty rate was as high as 60%.
Under the overwhelming superiority of the Japanese army's ground and air firepower, Liu Changshun's brigade mountain artillery battalion was directly deprived of its right to speak, except for firing a few cold shots to slow down the Japanese offensive. Without fire support, Liu Changshun's battalion could only
Relying on light and heavy machine guns and rifles, and under the cover of a few mortars, they struggled to block the offensive of the second division.
In order to reduce casualties, Liu Changshun, after discussing with Wang Xiaoming and Ma Chunsheng, tried his best to adopt close combat tactics and used a large number of automatic firearms equipped in his hands to fight the Japanese army in close combat. But even so, after the fierce battle on the first day, the Japanese army built before the war
Not long after the war began, the field fortifications were almost razed to the ground by Japanese ground and air fire, and Liu Changshun's troops also suffered an unimaginable price.
While Liu Changshun was stomping his feet in distress over the casualties of his troops, Toji Yasui was also having a hard time. After a day of fierce fighting, not only was the consumption of artillery shells huge, but almost half of the portable artillery shells of the Second Division were destroyed, participating in the attack.
The two brigades were also crippled. At the cost of more than half of the casualties of the two brigades, yet failed to occupy the opponent's first blocking position, it really made Anjing Fujiji lose face. Although he was mentally prepared, he did not
Thinking that the opponent would be so difficult to deal with, he would never fire if his attacking troops were less than fifty meters away.
When the attacking troops entered about fifty meters, they suddenly opened fire. First they were greeted by an overwhelming barrage of grenades, and then a hail of bullets sprayed from a large number of automatic firearms. The light and heavy machine guns, mortars, and grenade launchers
Then a long-range anti-personnel firepower was formed to separate the attacking troops from the follow-up troops, so as to facilitate their firepower attack on the attacking troops. After a day's attack, the two leading infantry brigades were beaten to a pulp.
Faced with his opponent's almost rogue style of play, Yasui Fujiji was almost helpless. Melee combat was originally the Japanese army's forte. When fighting in the pass, the Japanese army often relied on hand-to-hand combat capabilities to defeat the resistance of the Chinese government forces. However,
Facing an opponent with a huge number of automatic firearms, Fujiharu Yasui discovered that the tactics used by the Japanese army were almost as if he was going to die himself.
Because they don't give you a chance to engage in hand-to-hand combat at all. As long as the attacking troops come within fifty meters of their position, and the artillery loses its effect, they will use the large number of automatic firearms they equip to sweep away the attacking troops approaching the position.
, forcefully defeated his own attack. The troops that launched the attack several times even broke into the opponent's position, but were driven out by the large number of submachine guns they possessed.
When the last charge was defeated by the opponent's rogue tactics, the offensive of the 2nd Division was decisively stopped by Fujiji Yasui who could no longer tolerate the continuous increase in casualties.
Lieutenant General Toji Yasui looked a little irritable and was sternly reprimanding the three captains of his subordinates who had made almost no progress in the day's attack. Lieutenant General Takushirō Hattori, who was sent by General Umezu Mijiro to supervise the battle, secretly shook his head and smiled bitterly for a while.
Finally, although he did not want to interfere with the command of Fujiji Yasui, he finally spoke to dissuade him: "Lieutenant General Yasui, please be patient and calm."
"The opponent's ability to defeat Lieutenant General Nemoto Hiroshi's 24th Division has already shown us its fierce combat effectiveness. Judging from the tactics adopted by the opponent in today's blocking battle, the opponent in front of us is more difficult than we can
Imagine. So, today’s little setback is normal.”
"There's just one thing I don't understand. The supreme commander has lost command of the troops due to vomiting blood and comatose. Who is it that directs the enemy in front of us to fight against us? I don't believe that this troop is except for the cunning one.
Besides these guys, who else can direct the movement?"
At this point, Hattori Takushiro raised his head and said to Lieutenant General Yasui Fujiji: "Mr. Yasui, did you find anything about the 2nd Cavalry Regiment that you sent out to search for other units of the opponent?"
Although he was a little dissatisfied because Hattori Takushiro interrupted his lecture, Yasui Toji did not show any dissatisfaction on his face. In response to Hattori Takushiro's question, he just said lightly: "My Second Cavalry Regiment
The team's search range has been expanded to a range of thirty kilometers. Apart from these cunning opponents in front of us, we have not found any other opponents."
Hattori Takushirō thought about Yasui Toji's answer for a while, and then said to Yasui, "Sir Yasui, I hope you can expand the search range of your cavalry unit by another twenty kilometers. Especially at night, when our reconnaissance aircraft
In the event that it cannot appear, a rigorous search must be conducted within the surrounding area of 50 kilometers."
Having said this, Hattori Takushiro looked at the reluctant Yasui Fujiharu and said: "Sir Yasui, Lieutenant General Nemoto Hiro suffered the loss of his opponent taking advantage of the night to bypass his flank. Moreover, I also want to use your Second Cavalry Regiment to
The team searches to determine one thing.”
