Although Yang Zhen's tactical intentions could not be guessed clearly, Hatada Juichi did not dare not to save the 10th Division. In fact, according to Hatada Juichi's own ideas, he was to take over the 29th Division's defense.
Division, block the opponent who has broken through the 10th Division on the front line of Muling. The other divisions are temporarily holding back until they find out the opponent's next move. [.Com text]
However, the situation of the Tenth Division and the current development of the situation made him dare not do so. The Kwantung Army Headquarters and even the Tokyo Base Camp have repeatedly emphasized that the current frontier of the confrontation with the opponent is a high-voltage line, and the opponent must not be allowed to highlight this line.
One step in the line of defense.
Moreover, if the situation of the Tenth Division is not changed as soon as possible and the Tenth Division is allowed to make the same mistake as the Second Division, he will not be able to handle it at the Tokyo base camp. Although he is somewhat reluctant, except for the Eighth Division, Namada Juichi has
The reinforcements were sent, and the Eighth Division was ordered to reinforce at least one or two additional infantry brigades.
The main force of the 13th Regiment of the 6th Division was also mobilized, plus two squadrons of the 23rd Regiment, the division's 120mm howitzer battalion, and two mountain artillery squadrons, to strengthen the 7th Heavy Artillery Regiment, and battle
The 5th Regiment formed a fast column and marched eastward in the shortest time to reinforce the 10th Division.
At the same time, the 14th Division was ordered to immediately march eastward with no less than one regiment to take over the troops from the 6th Division to reinforce the Baoqing front line. After the regiment arrived, it was transferred to the command of the 6th Division and immediately
Be prepared to go north. Two days later, according to the original plan, the Sixth and Fourteenth Divisions will go north first.
The 11th Division, which was not originally intended to participate in the war, was ordered to prepare for battle. In addition to serving as the defense from Mishan to Hulin and closely monitoring the movements of the Soviet troops east of the Ussuri River, at least one regiment was mobilized to prepare for the battle.
Prepare for the battle and coordinate with the Western Front troops to move north at any time. Order the 29th Division, which has arrived at Muling, to mobilize at least two regiments to arrive at Mishan within two days.
Under the situation that his entire deployment had been disrupted, Namada Juichi simply stopped doing nothing and made a complete change to the original combat plan as quickly as possible.
Not only did a brigade of troops be added to the eastward marching force of the Sixth Division, in order to form an east-west advance situation with the westward marching force of the Eighth Division, and strive to first eliminate the opponents around the Tenth Division, according to the wave field heavy
A new plan not only mobilized all four front-line Japanese divisions, but also involved the 11th Division, which was originally a reserve force and was planned to fully defend the Soviet Union during the war and did not directly participate in the war.
This adjustment and deployment by Juichi Namada indicates that Yang Zhen's first tactical intention has successfully achieved the result he wanted, and this result at least seems to be a pretty good start for Yang Zhen.
Just when Hata Juichi was adjusting his deployment urgently, the bandit leader Yang Zhen, who he scolded in his heart for being a bloody bastard and who vowed to personally cut off his head and make a specimen and place it on his desk, was sitting in Yilan County.
Outside, in a small mountain village at the foot of Zhushan Mountain, they were waiting for him to adjust his deployment.
According to the prior plan, Yang Zhen's two main columns and a large amount of equipment have been secretly deployed and have been deployed. They can follow orders at any time to go south to the area where the final attack will be launched. The two columns plus some independent brigades are ready.
Level local troops, nearly 70,000 troops, thousands of artillery and mortars of various calibers, are like a wolf about to prey, waiting for the Sixth Division in front of them to start taking action in order to find the next entrance for themselves.
Chance.
In fact, for Yang Zhen before, the most difficult thing was not whether Juichi Namada was deceived, but the issue of reaching the hidden ministries that were less than 20 kilometers away from the front line.
All the commanding heights in the southern mountainous areas were controlled by the Japanese army. Except for the remnants of the Xiaoxing'an Mountains in the north of the Yangtze River and a few mountainous areas in the Woken Hada Mountains on both sides of the Woken River, most of them were under the plain terrain along the Songhua River. How could
The tens of thousands of troops and hundreds of artillery were concealed without being noticed by the Japanese army, and the suddenness of the battle was perfectly achieved. This was undoubtedly a huge test for Yang Zhen, the commanders of the two columns, and even the entire army.
.
Fortunately, although the Songhua River Plain in Yilan County has been developed on a large scale, it is far less developed than in later generations. There are still many birch forests and a large number of shrubs on the Songjiang Plain. Yilan County and the
Although the Wokenhada Mountain in the east is not high and the area is not large enough, it is enough to provide some hiding places for the troops.
In addition, Yang Zhen's troops have received special and strict concealment training, and the concealment standby time is not very long. In addition, all the people south of the Yilan Songhua River have been moved to Jiangbei, and the entire Jiangnan area has become a no man's land.
, so the Japanese army did not detect any movement.
Although the Japanese army concentrated a large number of aviation forces to repeatedly bomb the front-line positions where the two armies were facing each other after the battle at Dukaishan, their main bombing targets were concentrated on various traffic lines and exposed targets, those that might become Yang Zhen's targets.
It was a place where everyone was hiding, and only one or two small bombs were dropped occasionally when passing by.
Although due to proper preparation measures, the Japanese army has never noticed that tens of thousands of troops and a large number of artillery and other equipment are deployed more than 20 kilometers deep in the opponent's front-line position. However, if they have not discovered it now, it does not mean that they will not discover it in the future.
It's hidden in such a small area, and it's impossible not to expose even a single clue.
If the Japanese army still fails to take action, then Yang Zhen can only launch an attack first. After receiving the report that the Japanese Sixth Division has mobilized a reinforced unit to march westward, Yang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.
After that, he immediately ordered the troops to deploy across the board according to the original plan.
Yang Zhen's plan is that on the western front, if the enemy does not move, I will move first. On the eastern front, although the strategy of attacking instead of defending is formulated, it will not move if the enemy does not move. If the enemy moves, I will definitely attack you.
seven inches.
For Yang Zhen, it is not a question whether to reinforce the 6th Division on the Eastern Front or not to reinforce the 10th Division, nor is it a question of how many troops to dispatch. The key question is whether he can disrupt the Japanese army's original combat plan by striking first.
Mobilize to basically complete the deployment.
When he received information at 7 a.m. on the 27th that the Sixth Division had dispatched a reinforced unit to aid the West, Yang Zhen, knowing that the purpose of his first step plan had been achieved, immediately struck while the iron was hot.
As soon as the Westward Detachment, composed of the 3rd Regiment and the 1st Section of the 23rd Regiment, set off, Yang Zhen immediately struck back.
Order the 1st and 2nd Brigade and a regiment of the 6th Brigade, which are hidden in the eastern area of Yilan and are ready for battle at any time, to strengthen a 107th Rocket Artillery Battalion, a 105th Howitzer Battalion and a 105th Field Artillery Battalion.
One for each, and the brigade-affiliated artillery was under the unified command of Second Brigade Commander Li Mingfeng and Political Commissar Xiao Yongzhi. They immediately found their station from Shitouhezi and attacked southward. They must forcefully cross the Woken River before four o'clock in the afternoon.
After the forced crossing was completed, they immediately continued to forcibly penetrate southward with no less than one reinforced regiment. They cooperated with Du Kaishan's headquarters to seize the front line of Qinglong Mountain and blocked the westward detachment of the Sixth Division from reinforcing the Tenth Division. The main force was
After crossing the Woken River, the entire front was deployed to lay siege to the westward advancing troops of the Sixth Division.
After deploying the flanking operations, Yang Zhen personally issued orders to the two columns of Wang Guangyu and Wang Xiaoming commanding at the front, ordering each unit to immediately enter the attack area and complete the final deployment no later than 7 p.m. to prepare for the attack.
The Japanese 6th Division and the 14th Division are making final preparations for the attack. At 1:00 tomorrow morning, they will launch a full-line attack on the Japanese enemy.
During the direct call, Yang Zhen repeatedly asked the commanders of the two columns to ignore the threat of Japanese aircraft and enter the designated launching areas of each attack as quickly as possible. From now to three o'clock tomorrow morning, it will be less than ten hours. Even if
His tactical intentions were exposed, and the Japanese army had no time to change their deployment.
In order to enter the designated attack launch area on time as required by the headquarters, the two columns immediately took action after receiving the order, braving bombing and strafing from Japanese aircraft that passed by from time to time, and forcibly marched to the attack launch area issued by the headquarters.
The main combat range of the Second Column is at the junction of Tonghe and Yilan. It is located at the junction of the southern foothills of Xiaoxing'an Mountains and the northeastern foothills of Laoye Mountains. The terrain is basically mountainous, and it is not the main combat direction of Japanese aircraft, which is okay.
But although the entire final march route is not long, most of it is in the plain area. When attacking from the hidden area to the south and advancing to the final launch area, most of the march route is exposed on the Songjiang Plain, and the sky is
As soon as the Japanese aircraft saw the large group of marching troops below, they immediately swooped over like flies that smelled blood.
Fortunately, the column chief of staff Xiao Yongzhi, who was transferred from the pass and had experienced the Fourth Red Army's three passes through the grassland, and who had served as a regiment-level cadre during the Red Army period, was rich in experience. Before setting off, he freed up more than 20 trucks and loaded up the anti-aircraft guns.
The machine gun and 20mm anti-aircraft gun were mounted on the vehicle and converted into a simple self-propelled anti-aircraft firepower point, accompanying the marching group to provide air defense cover at any time.
A large number of air defense observation posts were deployed along the march route, as well as a fixed fire network composed of regimental anti-aircraft machine guns and heavy machine guns, to closely monitor Japanese aircraft and provide fire cover at any time.
In addition, most of the Japanese aircraft were transferred to Baoqing and Boli to support the 10th Division at this time. The number of Japanese aviation units with the Yilan area as the main combat direction was not large, and most of them were reconnaissance aircraft and light bombers.
, and the straight line march from Linjiatun and Qianzhamugangzi to Yanjiacun is not far from the original hiding place of Tulong Mountain to Changqing Mountain northeast of Daotai Bridge.
Although the Japanese aviation force posed a certain threat to the various units of the First Column, the losses caused to the various units of the First Column were not too great. Except for the loss of a Qiwu Mountain Artillery due to the frightened horses pulling horses, and a car carrying food was destroyed.
In addition to the hits from the Japanese bombs, heavy equipment did not suffer much damage. Instead, they used fixed and mobile anti-aircraft firepower nets to shoot down six Japanese aircraft that were conducting dive bombing.
Each unit of the two columns braved enemy bombings and arrived at a large number of simple offensive and defensive positions that had been built by the frontline troops as quickly as possible. They immediately carried out final mobilization and preparations before the war and distributed ammunition as quickly as possible.
, conveyed the attack order to each company and platoon commander.
By ten o'clock in the evening, each brigade of the two columns had completed the final preparations, and the attached artillery units had also completed the final preparations for the fire strike, waiting for the general offensive order to be issued.
