After the Japanese army surrendered in Huludao, the entire battlefield west of Shenyang was basically empty except for the struggling Fifth Army, the large number of Japanese corpses that were being cremated and buried by the people, and the large number of Japanese prisoners of war. The Japanese army is one soldier at a time.
The entire main industrial zone in southern Manchuria, including the Dalian Industrial Corridor, as well as the enemies of Shenyang, Anshan, Benxi, Jinzhou, and Liaoyang, have all been eliminated. The Japanese have spent a lot of effort, and after decades of construction, they have become the largest industrial zone in the world except Japan. In addition, the largest industrial zone in Asia has basically completely fallen into the hands of the Anti-League.
As for Fushun City, which had become an isolated island after Du Kaishan completed the insertion, the main force of the Special Operations Command, under the personal command of Li Mingrui, with the cooperation of an infantry division, adopted a variety of combat modes to attack Du. Kaishan completed the crossing and changed hands at the same time.
Yang Zhen attaches great importance to the gains and losses of Fushun City. Although the number and scale of factories in Fushun is far less than that of Shenyang, Anshan, and Benxi Lake, and there is not much machinery manufacturing industry, Fushun is not a purely resource-based city as people imagine. There is nothing but coal mines.
In fact, although Fushun's entire industrial system is not as good as other industrial cities in southern Manchuria such as Shenyang, it has unique industries that are not found in other regions because of its unique resources. The oil shale here is most directly controlled by the Japanese. It is also the closest to its homeland and the largest fuel production base besides the South Sakhalin oil field.
In addition to coal mines and oil shale resources, there are also three oil shale refining plants built in Japan, special steel manufacturing industries, and the only electrolytic aluminum production plant in China that Yang Zhen values most. Although these factories, During the previous Operation Harvest, due to the raids and demolitions by the Anti-Japanese Alliance, production capacity was almost lost.
Except for the oil shale production plant, which partially resumed production at all costs because the Kwantung Army was in urgent need of fuel, the other two plants have been paralyzed. However, only key components have been dismantled, and most of them are still intact, especially the foundation. The aluminum plant, which is basically intact and the Japanese are still working hard to repair it, is the only one producing electrolytic aluminum in the entire Northeast, and even in the entire China.
Whether the electrolytic aluminum factory can be completely captured is very crucial for the Chinese to truly build their own aviation industry. Because Yang Zhen knows very well that once the war reaches the end, the overall situation of the Americans will be decided. At present, there has never been enough aviation aluminum to meet the needs, and the assistance will stop immediately.
Throughout the war, the Americans were always hesitant to provide equipment assistance for refining and processing electrolytic aluminum. Not only was the amount of aluminum refining for aviation not large, but even the provision of equipment needed to build an electrolytic aluminum factory was It is always half a beat, and the speed is very slow. The industrial zone in Beiman, which has been roughly formed now, has never been able to build a complete electrolytic aluminum factory.
With the current development of aviation technology, aluminum has become the main raw material for the aircraft manufacturing industry. Without sufficient electrolytic aluminum production capacity, it is impossible to guarantee the development of the aviation industry and the future aerospace industry. Without its own aviation aluminum industry, then It is out of the question to establish our own aviation industry.
Therefore, Yang Zhen regarded this aluminum plant, which had only had key components removed, as very important. To a certain extent, it was even more important than the steel bases in Anshan and Benxi. As for the three oil shale plants,
Yang Zhen did not take the oil smelting plant that was extracted from oil and the Fushun Special Steel Plant that also had important equipment dismantled too seriously.
Compared with other industries in the Fushun area, this factory that can refine electrolytic aluminum and electrolytic magnesium, with an annual output of more than 10,000 tons of electrolytic aluminum, is what Yang Zhen has named to seize completely at all costs. And those few can only be used for oil production.
Rock refining, both in terms of cost and production capacity, is a fuel plant that is incomparable to the petroleum smelting plant that has been basically completed in northern Manchuria. However, Yang Zhen did not include it as a key target.
It is precisely because of the importance of this aluminum plant to future development that Yang Zhen sent Li Mingrui's special operations command and an infantry division out in the critical battle against Fushun. Moreover, during the battle, Li Mingrui's command was named.
Lord, what he wants is a complete factory, not a ruined building that was blown up by the Japanese army.
In this critical battle for Fushun, Li Mingrui threw all his two detachments into the battle without waiting for the infantry division to complete the cleanup of the entire periphery of Fushun. He adopted large-scale infiltration tactics, directly penetrated into the city of Fushun, and seized the Yangtze River immediately.
Several targets were designated for the earthquake.
Twenty-four hours after infiltrating into Fushun, before the main force of the 122nd Division on the periphery could react, the two infantry brigades of the 267th Regiment of the 122nd Division of the Kwantung Army, which was responsible for the defense of Fushun, and the division
Two squadrons of engineers and infantrymen were able to deal with it cleanly and thoroughly.
The 265th Regiment, the main force of the 122nd Division, and an infantry brigade of the 266th Regiment were surrounded by Du Kaishan and the main force of the 44th Army in the mountainous area east of Kaiyuan. The remaining main force of the division was
They were scattered at various key points around Fushun. However, they did not expect that the Anti-Japanese Alliance would directly adopt large-scale infiltration tactics to attack the city on the battlefield of Fushun without waiting for the surrounding areas to be cleared.
The combat effectiveness of the troops invested by the Anti-Japanese Alliance really surprised Lieutenant General Akashi Ri, the commander of the 122nd Division. This Army Lieutenant General, who had just been transferred from the Kannai battlefield, was exposed to such a large-scale special operation for the first time. He
The troops of the 122nd Division left in Fushun were no match at all.
Li Mingrui abandoned all peripheral points and penetrated directly into Fushun's main industrial area, catching the Japanese army off guard. In just twenty-four hours, the entire main urban area of Fushun, together with the two major coal mines of Qianjinzhai and Laohutai in the south, were completely destroyed.
It fell into the hands of the Anti-Japanese Alliance. Only the Longfeng Mine was blown up by the Japanese army and failed to succeed, but this was no longer relevant to the overall situation.
By the time Lieutenant General Qin Yansanlang wanted to mobilize troops to reinforce Fushun, the Kwantung Army units in the entire South Manchu battlefield were either surrounded or overwhelmed. Fushun city was completely captured, and the only electrolytic aluminum factory in China was completely captured by the resistance forces.
, is also the most exciting thing for Yang Zhen.
Without waiting for the entire South Manchu war to end, he immediately ordered the engineering and technical personnel who had been prepared to bring the dismantled key equipment, as well as a batch of equipment that he had tried his best to obtain from the Americans, especially 60 electrolytic aluminum tanks.
, and some of the forging presses, immediately returned to Fushun to seize the time to carry out emergency repairs on Fushun Industry.
The Fushun Aluminum Plant was on Yang Zhen's first list that must be repaired in the shortest possible time. The expansion plan for this aluminum plant had already been formulated. The required equipment was also intermittently obtained, and he managed to get it.
One batch. Although the quantity is not sufficient, after the expansion plan is completed, the output of the Fushun Aluminum Plant can at least quadruple.
The same emergency repairs are being carried out not only in Fushun, but also in the entire liberated Nanman Industrial Zone. Efforts are being made to repair the factories that have been recovered. The well-preserved Dalian Steel Plant, Dalian Steel Rolling Plant, and Dalian Chemical Plant have been repaired long ago.
With the mobilization of fully equipped takeover personnel, we took the lead in resuming production.
While the war is still going on, various factories in Dalian have begun to provide products one after another. In particular, the raw materials for making smokeless fireworks and bullet casings have begun to be supplied to the North China base. The factories in Dalian have resumed production quickly and with high efficiency.
Received commendation from the central government.
In fact, the main reason why these factories resumed production quickly was that before the war, based on the conditions of various factories in southern Manchuria, Yang Zhen coordinated with the Northeast Bureau and the Northeast People's Government to formulate a strict acceptance plan and set up a one-on-one team including
Acceptance team including technical personnel.
The entire Liaodong Peninsula landing operation was carried out suddenly, and Dalian was completely captured before the Japanese army could react. As a result, all the factories in Dalian basically did not suffer any damage and were completely preserved. Follow the troops into Dalian
Each receiving team immediately stationed in each factory to organize the resumption of production.
Compared with Shenyang and other industrial areas, Dalian is the area where production has recovered the fastest. The complete takeover of the Japanese Manchuria Bearing Co., Ltd. factory in Fuxian also means that the bearings needed by the Northeast industry can be produced to a certain extent.
To a certain extent, we are freed from dependence on foreign countries.
This bearing factory, which has long been on the Northeast Bureau's expansion priority list, has prepared thousands of pieces of equipment for expansion, and has also been transported to Fuxian by sea. When this bearing factory was developing its military industry, it had enough bearing quality problems.
And Yang Zhen, who was suffering from the lack of qualified military bearings, made an unusually determined request.
After approval from the central government and a batch of gold allocated, the Northeast Bureau has decided to invest 10 million yuan to expand it. This bearing factory is closely related to the aluminum factory in Fushun, as well as the Shenyang aircraft manufacturing plant, the Shenyang smelting plant, and several machine tool factories in Shenyang.
After the liberation of the South Manchuria Industrial Zone, it became the top priority of the Northeast Bureau's investment.
The basic liberation of the entire South Manchuria Industrial Zone has injected a lot of fresh blood into the industrial development of North China and Northeast China, and has also completely laid the foundation for China's industrialization. The basically complete capture of the South Manchuria Industrial Zone has made Yang Zhen since the beginning of the battle
After that, my heart that had been hanging high was completely relieved.
As for the current situation of the entire South Manchu war, let alone the current strength of the Kwantung Army. Even if all Korean troops join the South Manchu battlefield, there is basically no possibility of a comeback. Faced with the current situation of the South Manchu war that has been decided, Yang Zhen
A general attack order against the Fifth Army was issued to all participating troops.
The general attack order against the Fifth Army has not been issued before, in order to focus on ensuring the encirclement and annihilation of the two Japanese armies in the northern Liaoning battlefield. Therefore, Yang Zhen has been issuing orders to suppress the Fifth Army. This Fifth Army cannot be allowed to interfere.
With the progress of the battle in northern Liaoning, he cannot be allowed to run away.
As the battle has progressed to the present point, the Thirty Army of the Kwantung Army deployed in northern Liaoning has been completely wiped out, and the Forty-fourth Army is about to be destroyed. The main force of the entire northern Liaoning battlefield has been freed up, and this time has come to give the Kwantung Army
It's time for the most fatal blow to completely end the war in South Manchuria.
Yang Zhen issued a general attack order against the Fifth Army, and mobilized troops to prepare for the encirclement of the Third Army on the Benxi battlefield in Liaodong. He also prepared to completely block the Sino-North Korean border to cut off the final connection between the Kwantung Army and the North Korean Army.
The most critical thing is to break the current stalemate on the Liaodong battlefield.
At this moment, the only battlefield that is still stalemate is the battlefield between Wang Xiaoming's command on the eastern front and the Third Army of the Kwantung Army. As for the two Japanese divisions on the Haicheng front line that are fully counterattacking Anshan, they are seizing the Liaodong Peninsula under Tao Jingfei's command, and
The troops of three divisions quickly moved northward and advanced toward the line from Xiuyan to Haicheng.
The two divisions, especially the 7th Division, the only established division of the Kwantung Army, were immediately worried about General Yamada Yisan, who was also targeted by the Anti-Japanese Alliance. He rushed to seal the big stone bridge under Tao Jingfei's command.
Before Xiuyan Highway, they gave up all attempts to counterattack Anshan and Liaoyang, quickly withdrew to Fengcheng, and immediately joined the Benxi battlefield.
