After Du Kaishan finished speaking, Ye Chao hesitated for a moment and then said: "Commander Du, since Hongo Yoshio has plans to break out, should we adopt the tactic of surrounding three people and one against one, and let them break out of the encirclement by opening an opening. Wait for them to leave.
After the fortification group, wouldn't adopting the tactic of outflanking and pursuing in the middle to effectively speed up the progress of the war and greatly reduce our casualties?"
"Judging from the current battle situation, they can only encircle them. Whether it is in the northeast or southeast, it is a mountainous terrain. Our army can first mobilize the reserve team to intercept them in the front, and at the same time adopt the tactic of outflanking them on both sides.
Eliminate them in the mountainous areas at the junction of Kaiyuan and Fushun."
"I think as long as we act quickly and deploy our troops in place, there shouldn't be any big problem in encircling and annihilating the Japanese army during the pursuit. Even if we can't annihilate them all, as long as they defeat their main force, I think we will win this battle.
.Take 1065”
Du Kaishan directly rejected Ye Chao's suggestion without thinking: "No, the Liaodong mountainous area is full of deep mountains and old forests. The Kwantung Army has been entrenched here for a long time and is very familiar with the mountainous terrain here. It is connected with Jilin in the north and Jilin in the south.
It can go straight down to the Liaodong Peninsula, and directly to the east, it can quickly withdraw to North Korea."
"In such a large mountainous area, facing such a cunning opponent, do you know where they will run after breaking through? Under the restrictions of the mountainous terrain, unless Lieutenant General Hongo Yoshio goes crazy, he will not
It is impossible to concentrate all our forces to break out in one direction."
"Once the Japanese army lets loose, how will you pursue them in such a large mountainous area? How many troops are needed to block all directions? Judging from the current deployment of our second-line troops, even a large group of Japanese troops can reach
Behind us, the sky is falling."
"This time, in order to completely seize Southern Manchuria in a short period of time, our main force was almost mobilized. Except for the local armed forces in counties and districts and the trained recruits, there is no main force left behind in the rear area. Once they are captured
They penetrated into our rear area and caused us great losses."
"Not to mention other directions, the Meihekou behind us is the rear supply base for the entire Eastern Front battlefield of this battle. Once the mountains of ammunition, supplies and oil are lost there, all the units, including guns and artillery, fighting on the Eastern Front will be lost.
There is a danger of interruption. You cannot bear this responsibility, and neither can I."
"Don't think that we can force them to retreat along our designated route. Let's not talk about whether we can control such a large group of Japanese troops after they protrude. Let's just talk about how many troops we need in such a large area of deep mountains and old forests.
How can we stop them?"
"Southern Manchuria has always been the core of the Japs. Their familiarity here is no worse than ours. Not to mention here, the Japs are equally familiar with the Lesser Khingan Mountains and Changbai Mountains, which are less populated. How many Japs are there in the entire Northeast now?
We have not been able to completely identify the secret warehouse of the Japanese army."
"Even if they retreat ten thousand steps, they will not break out in other directions, but retreat south. But right now, Lao Wang's Eastern Group is fighting fiercely with the Little Jaap's Third Army along the Anfeng Railway. The troops in Lao Wang's hands are fighting against the Little Jaap
Compared with the Third Army, it does not have an absolute advantage."
"If we let even one regiment escape here, it will be difficult for Lao Wang, and it may even change the progress of the battle. Surrounding three and attacking one is a good tactic, but it must be used according to the situation. We still don't have the absolute strength
If the advantage can only form a relative advantage, this tactic cannot be used."
"Besides, I don't like to respond passively. I prefer to take the initiative to attack. With such a large mountainous area and only a few villages, I don't believe that the food and ammunition that the little devils have stored here can last a lifetime? If not
The war situation requires that I nibble away at them little by little, and even if they are trapped, they will be trapped here to death."
"In addition, although southern Manchuria is warmer than northern Manchuria, the winter here is far from comparable to that in Guanhai. At present, the nights in the mountainous areas are getting colder day by day, and you have to wear a large cotton-padded jacket in the morning and evening. There are a few days
, it’s going to snow here too. The Japs are still wearing regular uniforms to fight, and winter clothes haven’t been issued yet.”
"Now that our way back is cut off again, their winter clothes cannot be transported even if they have been prepared. If his native Yoshio is not in a hurry, he will be damned. If they don't find a way to break out, they will freeze to death.
This is the shallow mountainous area east of the Zhongchang Railway.”
"Tell all the troops on the front line that tonight Shuangtailing and Kaoshan Village must be cleared by me. The Japanese can set up artillery on the top of the mountain, so can't our artillery go up? Xiangyang Mountain, the commanding heights in this area,
It's in our hands now. If we send a few artillery pieces up the mountain, there shouldn't be any big problem."
Having said this, Du Kaishan hesitated for a moment and then said: "Order the troops on both sides of the Chai River, no, all the troops on the eastern front of the entire battlefield, to make certain preparations to prevent the enemy from encircling you. This native righteous man
After making so much determination and using so many tricks, I think it’s time for them to reveal all their trump cards.”
"This cunning guy, I think what is his ultimate goal? Since he wants to play dirty, then let's play it well. Tell the frontline troops to use more company and platoon penetration tactics and make full use of the direct firepower in our hands.
, Dare to adopt the tactic of attaching bayonets to cannons when necessary.”
"Since his hometown righteous husband wants to see you, we don't need to be polite. We have to make some preparations. We will prepare a banquet so that we can entertain guests. Inform the aviation force to join our unit for combat.
The troops must be ready for dispatch at all times. The deployment of artillery must also be adjusted to some extent."
"Order to directly subordinate the 1st Battalion of the 11th Howitzer Regiment and the 3rd Battalion to immediately withdraw from the northern line and secretly return to the east bank of Chaihe River. Directly subordinate to the 1st Battalion of the 122nd Rocket Artillery Regiment and the 4th Battalion of the 2nd Battalion of the 105th Cannon Regiment.
The company immediately moved to the northwest of Shuangtailing to prepare for fire interdiction along the line from Chaihe Fort to Kaoshantun."
Du Kaishan's words were actually more of instructions. Ye Chao nodded slightly and quickly conveyed his order. When Ye Chao picked up the phone and called each division on the front line one by one to issue the order.
, but Du Kaishan raised his telescope and looked at the mountains where the fierce battle was taking place in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking.
However, when Ye Chao was explaining the changes and progress of the frontline battle situation reported by the divisions on the front line, Du Kaishan seemed to be careless, but in fact he listened very carefully. After Ye Chao finished explaining, and was about to report to him,
Du Kaishan waved his hand and turned his attention to the map. At the same time, his two thick eyebrows were deeply knitted together.
After pondering for a long time, Du Kaishan raised his head and said to Ye Chao: "I understand now what you are going to say. Judging from the latest adjustments to the enemy's deployment on the front line, it also confirms our judgment just now. This original
Go Yoshio has made up his mind to carry out a general breakout.
"Immediately order the 31st Regiment of the 11th Division of the reserve force and the 31st Regiment of the 11th Division to be strengthened to the Shengjiatun front line under the command of the 19th Division. Order the 51st Regiment and a tank battalion of the 17th Division to immediately strengthen the front line of Shuangtailing.
No matter what moves the Japanese troops in front make, they have only one goal, and that is to attack me on the front line of Chaihe Fort."
"Order the 50th Regiment of the 17th Division and two companies of 122 rocket launchers, two companies of 150 howitzers, and one company of 105 cannons to immediately deploy on the spot in Lujiatun, east of the mountain, and along Guanmen Mountain. You personally want it
I received a phone call from the commander of the 26th Division from the mountains on the Eastern Front to Lujiatun, telling them not to keep reserve teams, and that the entire division should come to the front line for me."
"If the enemy breaks out in their direction, they must resolutely block it on the front. But on the flanks, adopt company-level tactical counterattacks. Don't worry about the counterattack troops being trapped by the Japanese troops. The assault troops on the flanks must dare to boldly penetrate. Let them
Bring all the reserves up to me. Tell them that the Japanese army has escaped a squadron from their position, and I only settle the score with their 26th Division."
"Tell the divisions in other directions to speed up the attack and seize the line from the platform to Guojiagou in the shortest possible time at all costs. No matter what Yoshio Hongo is thinking now, he wants to run in that direction. But since
We are already moving, this is our best chance."
"All ministries must carry forward our army's three fierce tactics of fierce attack, fierce charge, and fierce attack. Don't worry about casualties. Don't be careless during the battle. They rush toward their respective goals and tightly entangle all the Japanese troops in front of them.
Tell the armored troops to dare to use the mobility of tanks and fight a tank-attack in the mountainous area, so that all their tanks can move."
"Let them use no less than one battalion and an infantry force to pass through me from the Mengjiazhai line to the Majiazhai line. Even if all the tanks are used up, no later than 12 noon tomorrow
Before that, I had to capture the Chenjiagou line east of Majiazhai."
"Tell all troops to coordinate with friendly troops during the attack. Don't just stare at one place. There are assault openings on the left and right wings. Can you take advantage of them? All attack directions are connected by mountains and rivers. Don't just stare at one place.
Look at your own plate of food."
Following the issuance of these orders from Du Kaishan, the offensive strength of the anti-alliance forces from Zhonggu to Chaihebao and to Shantun in the east suddenly increased. Under Du Kaishan's personal supervision, each unit moved according to their respective plans.
The offensive route continued to attack various Japanese positions under the cover of artillery fire.
According to Du Kaishan's intention, each unit on the front line adjusted their tactics respectively, and during the attack, they paid more attention to coordinated operations with the brother units on the left and right wings, trying their best to make the defending Japanese army lose sight of one. At the same time, they adopted the tactics of taking turns to attack.
Not giving the Japanese troops any chance to breathe.
Facing increasing pressure from all sides, Hongo Yoshio accelerated the pace of retreat. He used the 107th Division, the most complete organization at present, as the fist force to break through the anti-union encirclement.
To the east of Kaoshantun, when the troops began to expand one after another, an all-out breakthrough was launched to the east.
The two armies surrounded Lujiatun and the mountain front line, and fought a fierce offensive and defensive battle. In order to cover the breakout operation, Hongo Yoshio secretly withdrew more than 80% of the artillery from various combat directions and organized it into artillery.
The group, with Kaoshantun as the center, together with Lujiatun on both wings, launched an all-out breakout operation in the direction of Lijiagou.
In order to create a gap in the first place, Yoshio Hongo used his capital. A large number of 75mm mountain field guns, 150mm mortars, 105 howitzers and cannons, as well as Taisho 4
The shells from the Type 150 howitzer exploded the line into a sea of flames.
Under the cover of a large amount of artillery, the three regiments of the 107th Division and the accompanying troops advanced hand in hand, and the fiercest battle on the entire Eastern Front broke out with the anti-alliance forces on this line. In order to maximize the concentration of troops, this
Go Yoshio ordered the commander of the 107th Division, Lieutenant General Abe Koichi, and even the division's baggage, engineers, and search regiments to pull up.
