Chapter two hundred and ninety fifth accidental encounter
Having said this, Yang Zhen moved his finger a few steps eastward on the map and said: "Especially Hulin in the southeast of Baoqing. In this direction, you can abandon our military-controlled areas in Raohe when necessary, and then
Retreat to the large swamp area at the junction of Raohe, Tongjiang, and Fuyuan as the last line of defense. [.Com text] Even Fuyuan can be abandoned when necessary."
"As long as we keep the base area west of Tongjiang, we can give up some areas where the terrain is not conducive to our defense. Try our best to disperse the Japanese troops, and at the same time make more use of the terrain in the northeast. All the people there have been moved to the Songhua River by us.
To the west, apart from our few border guards, there are almost no people in Fuyuan."
Du Kaishan pondered for a moment and then said: "One hundred and one, since you have decided to abandon some locations that are not conducive to our army's defense, where is your core area?"
Yang Zhen shook his head and did not answer Du Kaishan's question. He just said: "My idea is far from mature. It is just a preliminary idea. When the whole plan matures, I will naturally let you know. As long as you know, your position
As long as it’s important.”
Du Kaishan looked at the map and pondered for a long time, and then quickly started working on the map according to Yang Zhen's requirements. Du Kaishan's map work was the best among the three cadres above the brigade. The map he made was the company's map.
Guo Bingxun admired him very much. He had a sharp mind, comprehensive thinking, and a very broad mind. For Yang Zhen, it was appropriate to hand over the Eastern Front to such a person.
Yang Zhen was watching Du Kaishan operating on the map. Before Du Kaishan finished, Yang Zhen had already understood his general intention. After thinking about it, he nodded slightly and said: "Yes, your idea is very good. But
Isn’t it a bit too conservative to set your focus in the west on the line of Lanbang Mountain?”
"Laoheibei and Qiliga Mountains in front are not as high as Lanbang Mountain. You occupy the commanding heights, and your western defense line can appropriately advance to the west."
Du Kaishan pointed at the map and said: "One hundred and one, whether the Japanese army marches east from Boli or goes north from Mishan, the line from Lanbang Mountain to Laohuangdingzi is a natural danger that they must cross. This is what I used on the Western Front.
Lanbang Mountain will be the central point, and the rest of the mountains will only choose dangerous places to set up necessary defensive positions. The main force will be placed between Lanbang Mountain and Laohuang Dingzi."
"101, if you put it here, you can support Baoqing to the east, and you can reinforce the key points in the western foothills to the west at any time. Even when necessary, you can go straight south to cut off the Japanese army's retreat. It's better to set the key points here than if the troops are in
It is much better to consume one hilltop at a time. My plan is based on your plan at General's Stone Line. Wait for work at leisure, then gather together and annihilate them."
Du Kaishan did not live up to Yang Zhen's hopes. This plan was simply too satisfying for Yang Zhen. What he was most worried about was that Du Kaishan would spread his troops to various hills and fight the Japanese army, wearing down the troops bit by bit.
Du Kaishan had this idea, which completely relieved Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen braved the severe cold of -30 to 40 degrees below zero in Northeast Manchuria, and took Du Kaishan starting from the mountainous area in the southwest of Baoqing, along the defense line of the confrontation between the two armies, county by county, to see the terrain of every mountainous and plain area.
They all looked at them carefully. Everywhere he went, Yang Zhen would ask Du Kaishan to draw up defensive positions and postures on the map. This even included Fuyuan and Tongjiang, two districts that are still under the jurisdiction of the first division system.
When they reached the last Yilan, the defensive posture Du Kaishan made on the map, if implemented, could form a mobile and flexible overall defense line in the four-district confrontation area with the Japanese army.
What Du Kaishan didn't expect was that Boli and Yilan, which are close to the mountains in the southwest of Baoqing, the first place they chose, were the last places Yang Zhen visited. After entering Yilan territory, Du Kaishan Song
I breathed a sigh of relief. After reading this, I finally completed this survey without any danger.
It is obvious that both sides are very restrained. They are now licking their wounds and conserving energy. Neither of them wants to stir up trouble at this time. Both sides are making preparations in their own control areas, but they are trying their best to control the front line.
.Strictly order his subordinates not to cross the line. Therefore, Yang Zhen's line basically has no big troubles.
However, the Japanese army did not expect that the few men wearing ordinary military uniforms who sometimes appeared in the sight of their telescopes were their big bandit leaders who had offered a reward of two kilograms of gold and one kilogram of meat. Not much, just a few shots of the 92nd Infantry
Artillery shells can solve the most troublesome problem for all Japanese officers and soldiers from the Emperor of Japan to the Kwantung Army Headquarters.
The Japanese army didn't know this. But what Du Kaishan didn't expect was that nothing happened along the way, but he encountered a small Japanese army at the last stop in Yilan.
This time, Yang Zhen almost died, and almost changed the situation in the Xiajiang area, and even the entire Northeast Anti-Japanese War. The scale of the encounter was not large, but it was a Puppet Manchu Army commander who wanted to make extra money and encouraged the people who were supervising the war beside him.
A squadron leader of the 14th Division came out to make a fortune.
Yilan territory uses Daotai Bridge as the dividing line. To the south is the heavily fortified area of the Japanese army, and to the north is the Yangzhen-controlled area. But one disadvantage is that Yilan territory is bounded by the Songhua River, and the Xiaoxinganling Mountains in the north are
In the hands of Yang Zhen. And all the commanding heights of Zhangguangcai Ridge in the west, south and east of the southern line and Bangchui Ridge in the Wanda Mountains were in the hands of the Japanese army.
Therefore, in order to prevent the condescending Japanese army from spying on the actual strength of his troops, Yang Zhen deployed only one trapezoidal guard force on both wings with Daotai Bridge as the center from the Mudanjiang River to the Woken River in the south of the Yangtze River. The real force was
The center of defense is on the line of Dadingzi Mountain in the north of the Woken River. A brigade of troops is deployed there.
It is precisely this situation that allowed Liu Zishan, commander of the Second Regiment of the 17th Brigade of the Puppet Manchukuo Mixed Army, who came north from the Binjiang Province Puppet Manchukuo Fourth Military District to participate in the blockade of the base area, to take advantage of this situation. Liu Zishan is one of the very few Puppet Manchukuo soldiers who are still serving.
An officer who was born as a bandit is extremely greedy and all-rounded.
The deputy commander and advisor of the Kwantung Army sent to his unit were seduced by him with money and women in a short period of time. This was also because he had no backing. During Sasaki's initial rectification of the puppet Manchukuo army,
He became one of the few officers with bandit origins who still remained in the puppet Manchukuo army.
This guy was transferred to the front line. After learning that the defense on the opposite side was not very tight and that there were not many troops deployed on the front line, he felt that it was a good time to make a big fortune. Yilan has been a famous land of plenty since the late Qing Dynasty, and it is even more so in the north.
The economic and political center of Manchuria. In his eyes, this place is full of gold.
The Japanese army had extremely strict control over these puppet Manchukuo troops. The main troops were in the hands of Japanese deputies and advisers. Even if his regiment commander could not drink the blood of the soldiers, he could not take advantage of the opportunity to go to the countryside to clean up and plunder people's wealth. This
He was used to having a lot of fun and was really short of money.
He wanted to make a fortune and wanted to go crazy. When he found an opportunity to take advantage of it, he immediately encouraged Captain Matsumoto Harajiro, a Japanese military adviser stationed in his unit, to go out and pack some picnic food. He became addicted to gambling. During this time, he lost too much and money was tight.
, Captain Matsumoto, who was eager to get some money for gambling, nodded and agreed without thinking too much.
However, he had some disbelief in the fighting power of the Manchurian Army, so he also roped in a fellow countryman from the 14th Division who served as a squadron leader, and led a Japanese squad to follow Liu Zishan's two companies from Lijiatun to Xinlitun.
Two pretentious warning positions set up by Yang Zhen's troops sneaked past the Tuanshanzi line in the southeast direction.
Liu Zishan still had some brains. He did not dare to go in the direction of Yilan County, but chose the Tuanshanzi line in the northeast. He knew that there was a reinforced battalion of the 1st Brigade on the Houantlang line in the northeast of Tuanshanzi, which was the real line of defense.
It was actually here. But before he arrived at Tuanshanzi, he encountered Yang Zhen and his party at Xinglong Mountain.
When the Japanese and puppet troops were discovered ahead of the warning, compared to Du Kaishan and Xiao Huzi who immediately seemed nervous, Yang Zhen calmly directed the guards to collect all the maps before going up the mountain.
In fact, it is not a mountain, just a few large earthen parcels connected together with an average altitude of fifty or sixty meters.
Xiaohuzi quickly arranged the crossfire points according to daily training. The firing range of the two Type 96 light machine guns could cover the entire open area in front of the mountain. It was just ice and snow, and it was impossible to build fortifications. All firepower configurations could only be exposed on the bare soil.
On the post.
Yang Zhen raised his binoculars and looked at the Japanese and puppet troops who were gradually walking in, but he felt something was wrong. As soon as he received the report from the front guard post and discovered the Japanese and puppet troops, Yang Zhen originally thought that the Japanese army had discovered his whereabouts. But from this moment
Judging from the actions of the puppet soldiers, it makes people feel sneaky, like thieves.
Du Kaishan, who was next to him, also felt that there was something wrong with this force of two companies of puppet Manchu troops. There was something wrong with a small group of Japanese soldiers. It always felt a little weird. It didn't look like they were here to fight, but more like they were here to steal things.
.
Yang Zhen put down the telescope and looked at Du Kaishan beside him and said: "There is something wrong with these Japanese puppet troops. They don't look like they are here to reconnoiter, nor do they look like they are here to fight. Rather, they look like they are here to touch and prepare some wild food."
Du Kaishan nodded slightly, took out the speed machine on his body, opened the nose of the machine and said: "One hundred and one, I only feel this way. But whether these Japanese and puppet troops are here to hunt for wild food or to conduct reconnaissance, the puppet Manchukuo army
Although we are not afraid of the police, it is still not safe for you to be here."
"The horses in the guard platoon are good, they are all authentic Japanese war horses. You take the guard platoon and withdraw first, and I will take my guard squad to cover. As long as you withdraw to the front line of Tuanshanzi, you will be safe. There is a reinforced battalion of a brigade there.
, as long as you get there, you’ll be safe.”
Du Kaishan's words had just finished. The chief of the training section of the first division who had just assisted Xiao Huzi in arranging defenses took a Type 44 rifle from a guard and said: "Chief, Commander
Comrade, you leave me a guard squad with machine guns, and I will cover you before you leave. According to our equipment and the terrain here, I can hold off one squad for at least an hour, which is enough for you to safely reach the front line of Tuanshanzi."
Yang Zhen shook his head and said: "No, there are still several villages behind the Xinglong Mountain line that have not yet had time to relocate, and there are thousands of people. It is safe for us to withdraw, but the people will be unlucky. Chief Cai, you come right now
Riding my horse, rush to the front line of Tuanshanzi immediately and ask them to mobilize their troops immediately. Set up defenses behind us to cover the transfer of people in these villages."
At this point, Yang Zhen turned his head and picked up a pen and immediately drafted a telegram and handed it to Xiao Huzi: "Tell the confidential staff to send it immediately. Lao Cai alone cannot mobilize them. Ask Wang Guangyu, the first column, to forward it to Xiao Huzi immediately.
First brigade, tell him that reinforcements will not arrive within an hour and that the people cannot be protected. I will punish him."
After saying that, he took a Czech-made rifle from the guard beside him and said: "Tell the snipers to show me their daily training level. Bring the swordsmen, machine gunners, and especially the machine gunners of the Japanese and puppet troops to me."
It's the grenade of the little devil. Suppress him firmly."
Yang Zhen urgently deployed defenses, and Liu Zishan and Matsumoto Harajiro over there also discovered the situation. After all, they were operating in the so-called enemy-occupied area, and their vigilance was still quite high. Although they discovered it at the first opportunity
There were only a few dozen people standing in front of them, but the first thing they thought of was to retreat.
The superiors have given repeated orders that no one is allowed to cross the battle line without permission from the division level. The main task of the imperial army now is not to fight, but to replenish the troops and restore their strength in the shortest possible time. And not one grain of food, one tael or two can be lost.
Cotton goes north.
The Japanese army now has no ability to go north, so it is naturally worried that the other side will go south. Therefore, although there is no written order, all Japanese divisions at the front strictly prohibit unauthorized provocations. Any unauthorized cross-border behavior without the approval of the chief of staff of each division will be severely punished
Punishment. The Kwantung Army now no longer has the strength to engage in unnecessary consumption.
For Liu Zishan and Matsuhira Jiro, if they really start fighting, whether they are defeated or victorious, a severe punishment will be inevitable if they go back. So both of them have begun to think about quitting. If they can't get anything this time, it doesn't mean
You won't be able to catch it next time. As long as you're still ahead, you still have opportunities.
But this time, Captain Jianchuan, the captain of the third squadron of the first battalion of the 2nd Infantry Regiment of the 14th Division, who was cooperating with them, was determined not to do it. He couldn't come back empty-handed this time, and besides, there were only about forty Chinese on the other side.
The army, running away without firing a shot, is a bit embarrassing to the emperor.
Jianchuan Ersan's stubbornness forced Liu Zishan and Matsuhira Jiro to bite the bullet and launch the attack. But as soon as the offensive started, they felt something was very wrong. The opponent's firepower was too strong, not to mention automatic weapons accounting for half of it.
, there are actually two of the Empire's latest Type 96 light machine guns. You must know that even the 14th Division does not have any such high-performance light machine guns. They are still equipped with old-fashioned crooked handles.
Several attacks were suppressed by two machine guns that formed a crossfire. A company of the Puppet Manchukuo Army that was the main attacker suffered more than half of its casualties in less than half an hour. The machine gunner was not even able to set up the machine gun before he was killed.
Killed with one shot. After more than half an hour, both Liu Zishan and Matsuhira Jiro became more and more heartbroken. They did not get this extra money, and they gave up their old capital.
If the Japanese and puppet troops could make peace with each other and retreat, this emergency would have ended here. But Brother Jianchuan, who insisted on not retreating, at this critical moment, the casualties of the puppet Manchukuo troops were aroused to a ferocious nature
What was even more unlucky was that at this time, Matsuhira Jiro, the only one who could compete with him, was shot in the head by a bullet fired from the hillside 300 meters away during an attack.
The only person who could still contain Captain Jianchuan was lost. Although he was a lieutenant colonel, he was nothing compared to the Japanese army's captain. He had to listen obediently to what others said. If
Captain Jianchuan, who had a bad temper, was so anxious that he might be chopped alive with a knife.
A series of intersections of luck and misfortune for both parties, but Yang Zhen almost ended up on this small hill that could not be found even on a map of 1 in 50,000.
