After Wang Xiaoming's words fell, Guo Bingxun turned his head and looked at Yang Zhen. After knowing that the provoking method had worked, the two people smiled knowingly, then nodded and said: "Your two demands are not too high, and the headquarters can meet them all.
You. In addition to your request, the headquarters will allocate another 200 jeeps to you, and one hundred of them will be medium jeeps. Also, the headquarters has approved that you can attack all five divisions."
"But Anshan, Benxi Lake, and Miyahara must be taken back intact, not even a screw is missing. These are the blood of the Chinese people. The enterprises that the Japanese built by plundering the Chinese people's sacrifice must be returned to China intact.
In human hands. In a word, the army can polish everything, but the factory must not miss a screw."
When Guo Bingxun's words fell, it was like a thunder exploded in the entire venue. Wang Xiaoming was approved to attack all five divisions, and the headquarters would pay for it. Everyone present here were senior cadres above the Anti-Union Column, and they all knew what the price was.
What do you mean? But everyone was just talking quietly below, but no one really dared to question this decision.
Facing everyone's private discussion, Guo Bingxun smiled and said to Wang Xiaoming: "At the same time as your operation is unfolding, the first and second airborne divisions directly under the headquarters will airborne and airborne in Anshan and Benxi Lake respectively. You
The main task is actually to arrive at the two places as quickly as possible to coordinate their actions."
"But judging from the current overall deployment of the Japanese army, Anshan and Benxi Lake are one key point to contain the Zhongchang Railway and the other key point to contain the Anfeng Railway. Even without these two steel plants, the Japanese army would risk their lives to fight for it. So you
My mission is to reach Anshan and Benxi Lake within the designated time at all costs, even if all the troops are exhausted."
"Cooperate with these two paratrooper divisions to seize the two largest steel companies in China. And cut off the entire southward retreat route of the Kwantung Army, as well as the route of Japanese reinforcements in southern Liaoning. As for the battle in the direction of Fushun, the headquarters has its own ideas and arrangements.
, there is no need for your Dong group to interfere."
"I won't repeat the guarantees you just mentioned here, but you have to remember your guarantee. The entire metallurgical industry in southern Manchuria is basically in your direction. In other words, your direction is the entire
The most important thing on the battlefield. So after this battle is over, we have to settle the scores."
After explaining Wang Xiaoming, Guo Bingxun turned to Tao Jingfei and said: "Your five divisions in Tanggu plus the two brigades from Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei are not targeting any part of the Liaodong Gulf. Judging from the possible direction of the overall war situation at the moment
, the Seventh Division is bound to return for reinforcements as the battle begins in the north."
"The main task of your five divisions is not to go in any other direction after the battle starts. Don't think about passing through Jidong and joining the battlefield in western Liaoning. After the seventh division leaves the Gaiping line, you will go from Tanggu
Set off by boat and land directly at this location."
At this point, Guo Bingxun's baton fell heavily on Fuzhou Bay, Liaodong Peninsula, located in the corner of this map of South Manchuria: "I don't care how good your training is now, but among the first echelon, you must ensure that at least one
Land the full division."
"The aerial reconnaissance photos of the entire Liaodong Peninsula, including Fuzhou Bay, have been sent to you by the headquarters. The simultaneous landing operation plan is included in the entire operation plan sent to you. The Japanese military deployment situation that has been detected so far in the entire Liaodong Peninsula,
It’s also in the battle plan given to you.”
Looking at the position where Guo Bingxun's baton fell, Tao Jingfei was speechless. The headquarters will place the landing target directly in Fuzhou Bay, which is intended to directly seize Dalian. At present, the main force of the Japs is in the north, and the entire Liaodong Peninsula is just an independent country.
The garrison, plus some Japanese police, and some sailors at the Japanese naval base in Lushun, made the entire southern Liaoning quite empty.
The remaining Japanese troops are not only small in number, but most importantly, their combat effectiveness and equipment are very poor. If there are enough troops to land at one time, it is definitely not difficult to seize the Liaodong Peninsula in one fell swoop. This Liaonan battlefield is the most difficult to face among all combat areas.
The one with the fewest Japanese troops.
It's just that the current ships can only transport one division at a time. If they are squeezed, they can only transport one and a half divisions. This situation makes Tao Jingfei feel that the first wave of landing troops is somewhat insufficient. And if one and a half divisions are squeezed in, all the troops will be transported.
No heavy equipment can be carried.
At the same time, it is nearly two hundred nautical miles from Tanggu to the landing place designated by superiors. This distance is somewhat too far. After transporting the first wave of landing troops, even if all the ships can return safely, it will still take a long time.
The second wave of troops can only be reproduced, and this is still under the condition of no wind and waves.
During the time he was stationed in Tianjin, Tao Jingfei gained a lot of maritime knowledge. He knew that strong winds and waves would make it difficult for ships to sail. He also knew that follow-up reinforcements were too slow and there were not enough troops to go ashore in each wave, so he could only defend but not attack.
.If after the first wave of troops landed, the Japanese troops in Gaiping quickly sent reinforcements to the Liaodong Peninsula through the railway, then this battle would be difficult to fight.
The most important thing is that apart from a dozen Japanese landing ships, many of the remaining ones are motor-driven sailing ships modified from sailing ships. Not only are they slow in speed, they cannot withstand too much wind and waves, and there are not many troops that can be transported.
Even if the large and small Japanese ships captured in Tanggu Port and Tianjin Port are added, this can barely make up the strength of a division including transportation and heavy equipment.
In addition to the motor-sailing boats that actually bear the main transport capacity, both the number of people shipped and the heavy equipment that can be loaded are seriously insufficient. These motor-sailing boats are large enough to carry a company, and the small ones can only be a platoon. Mainly motor-sailing boats also cause
The troop establishment was too dispersed.
Once an accident is encountered at sea, or the fleet is scattered, or even runs away, it will seriously affect the combat effectiveness of the troops. Although the Japanese are currently a struggling Japanese navy, they have basically stopped any activities in the Bohai Sea.
activities. But they can still squeeze out some light ships in North Korea and the mainland.
The Bohai Sea is not far from the mainland of Japan in a straight line, and it is even closer to North Korea. The fleet, which is mainly motorized and sailing, not only has a small transport capacity but also travels slowly. The distance from Tanggu to Fuzhou Bay is too far.
.Once the Japanese navy quickly reinforces, the second and third echelon fleets that transport subsequent ships are likely to encounter major dangers.
Even if the Japanese Navy does not intervene, the Kwantung Army still has a strong maritime police force in Yingkou Port. The headquarters now requires a crossing of 200 nautical miles. Isn't it too risky? Should we change the landing target, even if
Even Jinzhou is better.
Perhaps seeing what Tao Jingfei was worried about, Guo Bingxun pondered for a moment and then said: "You don't have to worry about the ships. In addition to the more than 100 sailboats refitted in Tanggu, the Shandong Military Region has also refitted in Weihai and Yantai during this period.
We have picked up a part-machine sailboat and will arrive at Tanggu Port before tomorrow evening."
"At the same time, the headquarters has mobilized all sailors from the Northeast Military Region's Border Defense Fleet, which was formed based on the Puppet Manchurian Navy ships. All ships that can be dismantled and transported by land have been dismantled and transported to Tanggu. Of these, two hundred
There are thirteen steamers of 150 tons, and forty-one steamers of 150 tons."
"These steamships are all ships built by the headquarters in the Harbin Shipyard in the past two years, plus a large number of modified motor and sailboats, which are enough for you to send two divisions of troops to land in the first wave. Why do you think the headquarters has delayed it until now?
Before launching the offensive, among other reasons, the main thing we were waiting for was for these steamers to arrive in Tanggu and be completed."
"In addition, Dalian has two airports, one is the civilian Dalian Airport, and the other is the Tuchengzi Airport used by the Kwantung Army. For these two airports in Dalian, you must take them as soon as possible after the first wave of troops lands.
Come down. Remember, I said take it down as soon as possible."
"After completing the airdrops to Anshan and Benxi, half of the headquarters' transport aircraft fleet will immediately transfer to Tianjin and be airlifted to your follow-up troops. In order to ensure this airdrop and airlift in three directions, the headquarters has decided to deploy
All Stirling bombers were temporarily used as transport aircraft."
"In addition, the headquarters also negotiated with the US military to second its fleet of transport aircraft during wartime. The Americans have a total of 130 transport aircraft at several bases in Northern Manchuria. The headquarters has agreed with the US military to use these transport aircraft during this time
During the battle, all of them will be temporarily assigned to our army for use in the Northeastern battlefield. In this way, with the addition of temporarily modified aircraft, we can have nearly a thousand transport aircraft for use during this battle."
"After completing the airdrop of the two paratrooper divisions, while ensuring the follow-up supplies of the two airborne divisions, the headquarters can mobilize a considerable portion of the transport aircraft group to transport your troops stationed in Tanggu to Dalian. But the premise is that you will be able to transport the troops stationed in Tanggu to Dalian after landing.
, we must capture the two airports around Dalian in the shortest possible time."
"As for the Puppet Manchukuo Maritime Police Force based in Yingkou, you don't have to worry. All fleets will be covered by the aviation force when they are traveling and landing. In addition, the headquarters has already made other arrangements for this Puppet Manchukuo Maritime Police Force.
Arrangements. And you don’t have to worry about the Japanese Navy, they can no longer take care of the Bohai Sea."
"Whether this battle can successfully capture the Liaodong Peninsula in the shortest time is directly related to whether you can act resolutely and quickly after landing. The Japanese defense force in the entire Liaodong Peninsula is very weak, except for Lushun
Outside of the heavy artillery regiment, there are basically no heavy weapons."
"Even the so-called heavy artillery regiment is equipped with heavy artillery that cannot carry out field operations at all. So whether you can achieve the entire strategic goal in this battle depends on one word. Don't worry about Lushun. That is not from the headquarters.
The key point is that your first priority is Dalian. Your requirements are the same as Wang Xiaoming’s. The factories in Dalian must be completely captured by the headquarters.”
After explaining Tao Jingfei, Guo Bingxun turned around and said to Yi Liangpin: "During this battle, your mission in North Korea is not only to create a great momentum and attract all the attention of the Japanese base camp to North Korea, but also to contain the North Korean army and use it to
It cannot reinforce the Kwantung Army."
"You don't have to worry about the battlefield in South Manchuria, but the Korean army or the Japanese army in Japan, even if they only reinforce an infantry squad in South Manchuria, the headquarters will ask you. Although your place is an auxiliary battlefield, it is a crucial one.
Although there are only three infantry divisions plus one Korean Independence Army, the headquarters is very determined to allocate the bluffing armored division to you."
"At the same time, the strength of the Korean Independence Army under your command is not very weak. At present, the Korean Independence Army has seven brigades, two directly affiliated artillery regiments, and more than 30,000 troops with quite good equipment. In that direction, all
It can be called a decisive force."
"Since we are fighting in North Korea, you must make full use of this Korean independent army and let them play the role they should play. This is also a legitimate thing. At the same time, you must also believe that North Korean comrades will fight in the battle to liberate their own motherland.
Among them, their bravery and tenacity will be shown."
