The annihilation of such a large number of bandit armed forces within four months shows that the overall situation in South Manchuria was terrible when it was first liberated. And although the suppression of bandits was a great success, there was still a long way to go before the complete elimination of the puppet armed forces that had broken into bandits in South Manchuria and the complete
There is still a long way to go to clear out the Japanese and puppet lurkers in South Manchuria.
In the mountainous areas of Liaodong and Western Liaoning, there are still those armed bandits who surrendered to the enemy after the September 18th Incident, and after the Kwantung Army was completely destroyed, they dragged their guns up the mountains to become bandits again. These bandit armed forces are not the remnants of the Japanese and puppet troops who went up to the mountains to become bandits.
, these people who had been bandits for many years before surrendering to the enemy have rich experience in mountain life and are more difficult to deal with than those bandits armed by the Japanese and puppet forces.
These people are very cunning, knowing that it is easy to expose their targets when working with the remaining Japanese troops who lack long-term experience in cold areas and jungles like Northeast China. At the same time, it is not easy for these people to escape from the control of the Japanese. It is too late for these people to feel free. So when they go up the mountain, they just
He took his best friends with him and did not get involved with the Japanese army.
Moreover, these people themselves have been the kings of the mountain for a long time. They have an extremely keen sense of smell developed by many years of banditry. They can move quickly at the slightest sign of trouble. If the pursuit team is slightly slower, it will be easy for these people to run away. This kind of bandit equipment
Although they are not as good as the Kwantung Army who went up to the mountains to become bandits, as well as the Japanese and puppet police, military police, etc., compared with those people, these people are more difficult to deal with.
Among them, some of them followed the Kwantung Army and retreated south, fearing that they would be settled in the aftermath of the fall. Some of the old resistance forces rebelled. During the Anti-Alliance period, the ability of these people to move in the deep mountains and old forests was even better than those of the old bandits. And they used to
Having experienced many counter-mopping operations, these people have relatively rich experience in dealing with large-scale invasions.
Moreover, these former traitors, who were afraid that after being caught, would be reckoned with by the Autumn Queen, they resisted even more crazily, even more than those Japanese soldiers who turned into bandits. They destroyed and threatened the South Manchu base area and were more harmful.
After the large-scale political bandits consciously left behind by the Kwantung Army were wiped out, these habitual bandits and former traitors became the most difficult guys to deal with.
I am afraid that the suppression of these people will continue for some time. Coupled with the lurking Japanese and puppet spies, the work of the Northeast Bureau's Social Department and the Ministry of Public Security still has a long way to go. Yang Zhen knew that in later generations, with the capabilities of the central government and the Ministry of Public Security at that time,
, there are still remaining Japanese spies in Northeast China who have not been cleaned out.
After the development of the Daqing Oilfield in later generations, the specific location was not announced for the sake of confidentiality. However, the Japanese only relied on Japanese spies lurking in the country and sent to Japan a pictorial without any inclusion except the iron man on the cover to determine the location of the oil field.
Specific location, scale, and even approximate production capacity.
Although those fish that slipped through the net no longer dare to have any activities, or have no ability to move, it is enough to show that the Japanese penetrated the Northeast deeply and considered it for the long term. Even during the civil war, in some aspects, in the Northeast
According to the spy activities in the area, there are Japanese spies lurking behind them.
The struggle on the secret front has always been life-and-death. Especially when facing an opponent like the Japanese who is so painstakingly calculated and meticulous, it is impossible for Yang Zhen not to be cautious. The Japanese espionage activities do not have the advanced equipment of European and American countries. However,
In terms of meticulousness and lurking ability, they are far incomparable to agents from European and American countries.
To say that agents can compare with the Japanese in terms of their latent capabilities and secret surveillance capabilities, perhaps the only ones in the north were the KGB to which the polar bears belonged, and the later secret service organizations of the Democratic Republic of Germany. As for the later CIA, in some cases
It's slightly worse in every aspect.
At least in terms of the latent adaptability of their agents, the Japanese are absolutely unique in this regard. Who would have thought that a person who picks up shit in the streets would be a pure Japanese agent who is deeply hidden. Who would have thought that,
A humble scrap collector could be a Japanese agent who graduated from Nakano School?
On some secret fronts, the Japanese eventually suffered heavy losses because of their internal reasons. They did not have a strong intelligence commanding agency like Germany and the United Kingdom. In addition to the army and navy doing their own thing, the army's own internal system also
Each strategic cluster does its own thing.
But even so, the Japanese can still be said to be quite successful on the secret front in World War II. Whether it was fighting China, the battlefield in Southeast Asia, and the early stages of the war against the United States, they were quite successful. Especially in the
Penetration into China provides the most favorable support for its military operations.
In order to wipe out the remaining Japanese and puppet armed forces, they had to use the few remaining main forces in the Northeast that had not yet been replenished, which had affected Yang Zhen's overall layout in other aspects. At this time, Yang Zhen was not in any way
Fully support the work of the Ministry of Social Affairs?
Especially since he is currently serving as the first secretary of the Northeast Bureau and is in charge of the overall work of the Northeast. If he does not support the work of the Ministry of Social Affairs, wouldn’t he be dismantling his own station? Yang Zhen has always spared no effort in providing weapons, vehicles, funds, and necessary equipment.
, more than ten radio direction finders alone are provided.
The Equipment Department was also asked to use existing technology and Junkers 52 transport aircraft to specially improve a radio direction finding aircraft for the Ministry of Social Affairs. Although the distance of direction finding is limited, at least it can play a lot of role in monitoring secret radio stations.
What the equipment cannot do.
Even though they have poached the elites they have painstakingly cultivated, they still need to give their full support. However, Yang Zhen’s support is not unprincipled. There are some things that should be supported with all his strength. But it cannot involve
This is Yang Zhen's insistence on his own bottom line.
However, although Yang Zhen did not put any pressure on the Minister of Social Affairs, Yang Zhen was not so polite when dealing with the veteran public security force commander and political commissar who were responsible for commanding and suppressing bandits. Yang Zhen gave these two orders
He issued a death order and used all necessary means to wipe out the remaining bandits in South Manchuria before August of 2005.
Before the entire Southern Manchuria is cleared, the remnants of the bandits must not be allowed to flow to other areas, especially North Manchuria, Rehe, and North China. We must make every effort to ensure that the South Manchu Industrial Zone resumes production and that railway transportation is not harassed by the remnants of the bandits. At present,
The pass is preparing to fight south, and a large amount of military supplies are being transferred to the pass via the Beining Railway.
If there is any interruption to this lifeline, he will only rely on these two people. Except on the battlefield, Yang Zhen would not easily give his subordinates such a fatal order to be completed within a time limit. But in order to stabilize the situation in Southern Manchuria as soon as possible, ensure that Southern Manchuria
In order to maintain the stability of the industrial base, Yang Zhen had to issue such an order.
Compared with the temporarily calm battlefield inside the pass and the generally calm situation in South Manchuria and the entire Northeast and surrounding areas that are busy suppressing bandits, the current situation in North Korea is tepid. There is no relative calm similar to other fronts.
The situation was good, but it was not earth-shattering.
Yang Zhen, who had his hands free at this moment, regarded North Korea as a training ground. All the troops transferred to the Northeast, after completing their training, were brought to North Korea to participate in actual combat. Troops from various organizations took turns to go into battle, cooperating with the armor and aviation of the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
The Japanese troops carried out large-scale cannibalization tactics against the Korean army, squeezing the Japanese and Korean troops to the south little by little.
There were no major battles on the entire Korean battlefield, but regiment-level battles took place almost every day. The two sides repeatedly saw each other at the confrontation line. There were back and forth, you attacked and I defended, and the fight was quite lively. But Yang Zhen was very calm.
, just like consciously controlling the rhythm of the battle. Although the fighting on the Korean Peninsula was lively, the scale of the battle never exceeded the level of adding a division.
The biggest battle was around the central part of the Korean peninsula, the battle for the strategic strategic points of Chewon and Kimhwa. This battle was to improve the defense situation north of Kimhwa and Chewon. It was reported by Du Kaishan, who was in charge of the overall command in northern Korea.
Yang Zhen approved it after studying it with Guo Bingxun.
Cheorwon is located in the north of central Korea. Although it is only a small town, its strategic position is extremely important. It forms a triangle with Pingkang and Jinhua. From this triangle to the north is a long and narrow plain in central Korea, and to the south is Cheorwon.
It is a continuous hilly area.
The current situation between the two sides in central Korea is that the Japanese army controls the mountains south of the Cheorwon and Jinhua lines, while the Anti-Japanese Alliance controls the plains north of Cheorwon. In other words, the Japanese army controls the two bottom corners of this triangle.
, and the anti-link controls the vertex corner and two sides.
However, the Japanese army was condescending on the terrain and could overlook the Anti-Japanese Alliance's depth of more than ten kilometers. This had a very adverse impact on the overall defense of the entire Cheorwon to Kimhwa line. The Japanese army was condescending and continued to use long-range artillery fire, targeting the entire north of Cheorwon.
The blockade of the plains poses a great threat to the frontline troops. Whether it is the forwarding of supplies or the rotation of frontline troops, it has a great impact.
The Japanese army also continued to dispatch small groups of troops from the mountainous areas south of Tieyuan and Jinhua, using the cover of the mountainous terrain to harass the areas south of the Tieyuan and Jinhua lines. Although Ma Chunsheng organized a series of point operations, he successively
They successively seized the commanding heights of Baima Mountain, Five Sacred Mountains, and Jixiong Mountain, and pushed the front partially to the south, but failed to change the overall strategic unfavorable situation.
Cheorwon, located on the railway line from Pyongyang to Seoul, is not only disadvantageous to the strategic defense posture of the Anti-Japanese Alliance in central Korea. It is also an intersection of north-south transportation in central Korea, with three railways and several highways intersecting here.
It is a transportation hub in central North Korea.
From Cheorwon, you can go north to Pyongyang and Wonsan along the railway line, and to the south, you can go directly to Seoul. For the current North Korean army, the entire line from Cheorwon to Kimhwa has become the gateway zone to its controlled areas in North Korea.
Once the Japanese army completes the defense system here, it will have a very adverse impact on the next offensive of the Anti-Alliance.
If the line from Cheorwon to Jinhua can be captured, the entire defense system of the Anti-Japanese Alliance in central Korea will be greatly improved, and the previous passive situation will be changed. Taking Cheorwon will be equivalent to leveraging this triangle zone, and the last bottom line will be
The overall defense of the Japanese army on the border and posed a direct threat to Seoul.
After obtaining Yang Zhen's approval, Du Kaishan decided to reorganize the two former Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei brigades into one regiment of the Northeast Military Region's Independent Fourth Division, six companies of the Fifth Independent Division, and two regiments of the Seventeenth Anti-Japanese Division.
.Combined one direct rocket launcher battalion, two 150 howitzer battalions, and four 122 howitzer companies. Under the unified command of Ma Chunsheng, commander of the 17th Division, they launched an attack on the Tieyuan and Jinhua lines.
Taking into account the terrain of Cheorwon's front line, Yang Zhen added a tank battalion as direct-aiming support firepower to Du Kaishan's original support firepower, and increased the number of mortars for the frontline troops, especially the 120mm mortars.
Artillery. And the 160mm mortar battalion directly under the headquarters also rushed to North Korea to strengthen the 17th Division.
On both sides of the Cheorwon battlefield, Yeoncheon and Mundeung-ri were reversed. The main force of the 4th Independent Division, plus a regiment of the 5th Independent Division and an independent tank battalion, and a part of the Korean Independence Army launched feint attacks to cooperate with the 17th Division.
From Jinhua to Cheorwon, to be precise, the focus is on the front-line attack in Cheorwon.
