After Yang Zhen gave Du Kaishan Company three orders, he said to Ma Chunsheng, who had not returned to Jian and was temporarily left by Yang Zhen at the headquarters as deputy chief of staff. He stayed to assist him: "Old Ma, be prepared.
Go to the third brigade to succeed Du Kaishan as brigade commander. This bastard is still self-righteous, taking the headquarters’ orders seriously and going his own way. [.Com text] If we don’t deal with it seriously, he will almost climb to the head of the headquarters.”
"Do they really think that the Japanese army will watch our army capture Jiamusi and remain indifferent? Do they really think that the Japanese 8th, 11th, and 12th divisions deployed in Mishan, Suiyang, and Muling are all
Is it a display? Would the Kwantung Army prefer to watch our army capture Jiamusi, their so-called important town, but not use these three divisions that are close at hand for the so-called Manchu-Soviet border security?"
"They have repeatedly ignored the unified deployment of the headquarters and acted without authorization again and again. Do they think that the strategic vision of the headquarters is not as good as theirs? Are they all fools and idiots? This time there will be no punishment and all actions will follow the military discipline of the command.
Doesn’t it become a piece of paper?”
Looking at the furious Yang Zhen, Ma Chunsheng calmly said: "Commander, don't be too angry. These three Japanese divisions can indeed be said to be very close to Jiamusi, but the right to mobilize is not necessarily
In the hands of the Kwantung Army, the Japanese found imaginary enemies for themselves in both the army and navy. The navy used the U.S. Navy as its imaginary enemy. The army, however, had long used the Soviet Union as its imaginary enemy."
"The deployment of these three divisions to the west of the Wusuli River was not decided by the Kwantung Army, but by its overall strategy against the Soviet Union. These three divisions plus the Second Division originally stationed in Mudanjiang and the Fourth Division stationed in Jiamusi
The divisions form a whole that supports each other and coordinates the situation. It is related to the overall deployment of the Japanese army in the Northeast. If the Kwantung Army wants to mobilize these three divisions, I think it must ask its headquarters for instructions."
"This back and forth, even if the Japanese army reacts quickly, will still take at least three days. Judging from the current strength of the Japanese and puppet troops in Jiamusi, three days is enough for us to seize Jiamusi, which is now an empty city. And you
The intention is not to occupy Jiamusi for a long time, but to seize the supplies that the Japanese and puppet troops have hoarded in Jiamusi. Three days is enough."
"From the configuration of the three Japanese divisions on the map, I can see that the 11th Division stationed in Mishan is the closest Japanese division to Jiamusi. Of these three Japanese divisions, no matter which one the Kwantung Army chooses to reinforce Jiamusi
, the 11th Division may be the first to bear the brunt. Although the Japanese troops in the Fujin area are not the main force of the 11th Division, they are part of it."
"And the most important thing is that the Japanese troops in Fujin are serious field troops of the 11th Division. If the third brigade goes north and cooperates with the first brigade to annihilate this Japanese detachment, it will greatly weaken the 11th Division.
The strength to go north to reinforce Jiamusi. After all, the Northeast is not their Japanese division's jurisdiction, and the strength of a Japanese division is far from what it was when they were in Japan. It is not easy to replenish troops."
"So Brigadier Du's idea of sending one force to the north ahead of the first brigade to cooperate with the siege of the 11th Division's northward detachment is not fundamentally wrong. What he should not do is ignore the opinions of the headquarters and act without orders.
The attack made the overall deployment of the headquarters passive."
"Looking from the map, no matter which division the Japanese army dispatches to reinforce Jiamusi, they have to pass through Baoqing and Boli. As long as we are stuck at the junction of Jiamusi and these two counties, it will not be easy for the Japanese army to reinforce Jiamusi. Baoqing
, Boli is located between Zhangguangcai Ridge and Laoye Ridge, and the terrain is easy to defend but difficult to attack. We don’t need to invest too many troops, we only need to hold the key points to contain the Japanese reinforcements.”
"Compared with Baoqing and Boli counties, which are mainly mountainous, Fujin, which is a flat area in the northeast, is the area where our army must strengthen its vigilance. The terrain there is flat, which is conducive to the Japanese army to develop its firepower and mechanization advantages. From Lian
From the battle of Ekou, it seems that the Japanese army has significantly strengthened the weapons configuration of its standing divisions. A fourth division has actually strengthened so many tanks, which has to make us consider whether we should change our tactics in the future."
Regarding Ma Chunsheng's analysis, Yang Zhen shook his head and said disapprovingly: "If your point of view is applied to other armies, this analysis is quite pertinent. But for the Japanese army, it is very difficult.
Judging by conventional means. Judging from the previous battles in the pass, and even from the Sino-Japanese War of 1894 and the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese army is not the kind of army that follows the rules in terms of tactics."
"The Japanese army itself is very good at roundabout operations. Although there are many mountains in Baoqing and Boli counties, it is not difficult for the Japanese army. The basic number of ammunition carried by a Japanese soldier is 120 rounds. If he carries it for more than three days
With sufficient supplies, its combat capability without depot supply can even reach seven days."
"The mountainous area of Baoqing is now hundreds of miles of uninhabited virgin forest. Since September 18, the Japanese army has built a large number of roads and railways here in order to build various fortresses in the east and to fight against the Soviet Union in the future.
Baoqing is very close to Mishan, and each division of the Japanese army has its own baggage regiment equipped with a large number of large vehicles and trucks. Supply is not a difficult problem."
"Even if there is no road, the Wanda Mountains on the Baoqing front line and the Laoye Ridge in Boli are not insurmountable for the Japanese army who are good at making roundabout passes. It is said that we Chinese are the most hardworking nation in the world.
But the Japanese army is stronger than any of our armies in this regard. Its tolerance for difficult conditions is absolutely top-notch in the world."
"In the first stage of this battle, our army led a Japanese regiment into the swamp. By the time the enemy and our armies officially engaged in battle, they had been without supplies for several days, and even their hungry legs were shaking.
However, the combat effectiveness is still strong. Moreover, the Japanese army’s mountain combat capabilities are not necessarily inferior to our army.”
"If the Japanese army really reinforces Jiamusi head-on from the Fujin front line, I am not afraid of them. But if the Japanese army takes a detour from the rear of our army when our army attacks Jiamusi. Even if our army captures Jiamusi, there will only be one brigade of our army.
We may not be able to defend Jiamusi."
"I transferred the third brigade into Baoqing and Boli in order to allow them to capture these two counties and broaden our army's defense posture on the sides and rear. Although I did not explicitly state this plan, with the personalities of Du Kaishan and Tao Jingfei, they will not sit idly by.
The two counties didn't take action. But these two guys didn't eat the fat in front of them. They didn't know the intentions of their superiors and insisted on grabbing what was in other people's bowls."
When he heard Yang Zhen talking about Du Kaishan, his tone was that he hated iron. Ma Chunshan smiled and said: "Commander, it's not that they don't know that Bao Qing is a piece of fat. It's just that their eyelids are now wider.
The 11th Division, which is not full of troops, can no longer satisfy their appetite."
"Judging from the tactical intentions they sent, they are planning to use a reinforced group led by Tao Jingfei to contain the main route of the 11th Division's northward reinforcements. Du Kaishan will lead the main force of the brigade northward, and together with Liu Changshun will sweep away Fujin and Tongjiang.
The Japanese and puppet troops in the area then turned around and headed south, joining forces with Tao Jingfei who stayed in Baoqing to fight against the 11th Division. In other words, they don't take the 11th Division seriously at all now."
"I bet that the escaped Jiangshang Army warship must have slipped downstream. These two bold guys probably did not leave the artillery behind at all, and were preparing to block the Jiangshang Army's retreat downstream according to the headquarters' orders. Otherwise,
When Wang Guangyu's department upstream only found three escaping enemy ships, how could a warship of several hundred tons disappear out of thin air?"
Ma Chunsheng, who wanted to understand what these two guys were going to do, couldn't help but said with a bit of laughter and tears: "I don't know if these two are too bold or too unscrupulous. They won't let go of a Japanese standing division.
In his eyes, he goes his own way and fights according to his own ideas. Although his intentions are good, this behavior must not be condoned."
"Although the war is coming and it is unfavorable to change generals before the battle, at least a punishment must be given. It is time to kill their arrogance. Commander, now the army is complacent after a few battles. I feel that I am the best in the world.
The tendency to be number one in the world must be curbed. It is necessary for an army to have momentum, but too much arrogance will only do more harm than good to us."
Regarding Ma Chunsheng's idea, Yang Zhen nodded with approval and said: "No matter how great their contribution is, they must be dealt with seriously this time. Again, prepare yourself and go to the third brigade to take over the position of brigade commander. The political commissar of the third brigade is temporarily
Guan Mingshan, director of the Brigade Political Department, will take over."
"Discipline is discipline. No one will be punished for making mistakes just because he has great military exploits. I can't control others. Military law must be like a mountain in my army. An army without iron discipline is like a pile of sand.
As an army, those who disobey orders must be corrected and law enforcement must be strict."
In response to Yang Zhen's order, Ma Chunsheng shook his head and said: "Commander, I said that you will be punished, but not now. Since the formation of the Third Regiment, the predecessor of the Third Brigade, they have been serving as the chief military and political officers."
"The two of them have extremely high prestige in the third brigade. The war is about to end and the brigade commander who is the military and political officer of the first brigade and the political commissar will be replaced. It is not a good solution. I am too junior, I have been in the army for less than half a year, and I have been in the army before.
He serves as the chief of staff and has no experience as a chief of combat forces."
"Although Guan Mingshan is senior and comes from the old Red Army, he was transferred from Guan Nei not long ago. If the two of us take over now, the troops may not be convinced. If we don't handle it well, it will be self-defeating."
"In my opinion, it's better to demote these two people. Du Kaishan was demoted to deputy brigade commander and acting brigade commander, and Tao Jingfei was appointed deputy political commissar and acting political commissar. As for other punishments, we'll make plans after the war subsides."
Regarding Ma Chunsheng's suggestion, Yang Zhen looked at Ma Chunsheng, who fell silent with a smile on his face after expressing his thoughts: "Aren't you trying to cover them up? The removal of these two guys is frivolous, but your suggestion is
Just a couple of gentle spankings and that's it. Deputy brigade commander and acting brigade commander, what's the difference between this and no punishment?"
Ma Chunsheng smiled and said: "Commander, I'm not shielding them. When I participated in the warlord melee in the Northeast Army, I saw some who couldn't escape and retreated against orders. Judging from the war in the pass, isn't it the same with the Northeast Army?
There are many people who retreat against orders? No matter how they do it, whether it is prudent or not. But after all, they take the initiative and fight the enemy."
"No matter what their starting point is, although this approach is not worth advocating, their initiative to seek war, instead of passively following the instructions of their superiors, and their proactive offensive spirit are worthy of praise. And the commander, if he really withdraws
To be honest, are you really willing to give up these two tiger generals? A thousand armies are easy to get, but one general is hard to find."
At this point, Ma Chunsheng paused and said: "Commander, this time we have seized so much equipment at the Lianjiang Estuary. It would be a pity for you not to use it in this battle. With this batch of equipment, let alone the Japanese army
Come with one division, or even two divisions, you don’t have to worry."
When Ma Chunsheng said this, Yang Zhen remembered that he still didn't know what benefits he had gained from this battle at Lianjiang Mouth. It was just that when the always steady Ma Chunsheng's face mentioned the materials and equipment seized at Lianjiang Mouth, he looked like a foreigner.
Looking at Cai Cai's expression, Yang Zhen knew that this battle would probably result in a huge harvest.
Sure enough, judging from Ma Chunsheng's report, even Yang Zhen, who had experienced the Battle of Qunce Mountain, the Kwantung Army's largest secret warehouse, was surprised. Although the infantry weapons captured in this battle were not many, the technical equipment was
Great harvest. Judging from the huge amount of captured technical equipment, in order not to repeat the same mistakes, Sawada Shigeru did his best to arrange the front line of the Lotus River Estuary into a fire hedgehog.
Judging from the number of captured Japanese troops in at least one artillery regiment, plus one heavy artillery brigade, and at least several squadrons of tanks, it seems that if we didn't surprise others, we would use poisonous gas to retaliate.
A forceful attack would cost at least one brigade of casualties.
Sawada Shigeru, who never expected that he would act out of common sense, went crazy and tried to increase the firepower configuration of the front line of Lianjiangkou at all costs, trying to make his head hit the front line of Lianjiangkou. But his move made him bloody.
Easily obtained a large amount of equipment compared to this battle, almost for nothing.
In this battle alone, twelve of the latest Type 96 150 howitzers and six Type 92 105mm cannons were captured by the Japanese army. The total number of shells for the two types of artillery was 6,000 rounds.
As for the 75mm mountain field artillery, 150mm mortars, infantry guns, and 90mm mortars, there are hundreds of them, and nearly 30,000 rounds of various artillery shells. So many artillery and artillery shells are overwhelming.
There is no doubt that Sawada Shigeru concentrated all the artillery of the 4th Division on the line of Renjiangkou.
There are also eight Type 97 tanks, 16 Type 94 and Type 95 light tanks, six Type 92 cavalry armored vehicles, hundreds of heavy artillery tractors, and more than 300 trucks. Due to the front line of Lianjiangkou,
The Japanese army also had to bear the responsibility of supplying the Second Division heading north, so other ammunition, gasoline and other materials seized at Lianjiangkou were almost piled up. Ammunition alone could fully meet the current needs of the troops.
Looking at the four Type 99 105mm heavy mountain guns, the twelve Type 91 105mm field guns, and the twenty-four Type 95 75mm field guns on the list of seizures, they were among the Japanese.
Yang Zhen could not help but lament that there were people in the court who were easy to serve as officials. Although the prince who had served as the commander of the Fourth Division was no longer the chief of staff, his power still remained.
The combat effectiveness of this fourth division is not very good, and the battle is smooth. Unless it is pressed hard, it never fights to the end like other Japanese troops. But it can always replace the latest equipment as soon as possible. As the Japanese combat effectiveness
The most powerful Second Division is also equipped with 38 modified field artillery, but the rubbish Fourth Division became the first batch of units of the Kwantung Army to be equipped with new artillery.
You must know that the Type 99 heavy mountain cannon is a new type of mountain cannon that the Japanese army has just installed this year. As for the Type 91 105mm field cannon, the Second Division does not have a single one. As for the 105mm field cannon, the Second Division has
The division's equipment is still antique from the 4th year of Taisho period.
