Speaking of this. [.Com text] Yang Zhen paused and said: "Lao Guo, all the First Army has gone south. The commander-in-chief of the First Army and I have promised that as long as there is one person from the First Army, the Japanese troops on the eastern front will not get
A truckload of supplies. Although we do not expect that the First Army can actually achieve this goal."
"But if the First Army can partially paralyze the Japanese army's railway line leading to the front line and cut off some of the supplies of the Japanese army on the front line, especially the replenishment of gasoline and artillery shells, it will be quite beneficial to our next operations."
"Judging from the current deployment of troops and equipment by the Japanese army, they have already gone out in force. Once the Eighth Division is in danger, no matter how brave Umezu Yoshijiro and Namada Shigeichi are, they will not fail to rescue the Eleventh Division.
If they all come out in full force, the Tiger Forest behind them and the Rao River will be completely empty."
"Lao Guo, since we have already made a bet by taking the initiative. So why don't we bet bigger? Involve all the troops in the entire Northeast Manchurian area of the Japanese army. Now that the entire Eighth Division is dispatched, it will indeed give us
It creates partial passivity, but isn’t this exactly what we want?”
"Wear them down step by step in the field battle and weaken their strength. And the 11th Division, it is better to draw them out than to attack them one by one."
Guo Bingxun over there heard that Yang Zhen had agreed to Tao Jingfei's shrinking deployment. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he was shocked by Yang Zhen's plan. Who is Guo Bingxun? It can't be said that he is a roundworm in Yang Zhen's belly.
, but after working with Yang Zhen for such a long time, he can basically guess 10% of Yang Zhen's inner thoughts from the beginning.
When Guo Bingxun found the location on the map where Yang Zhen suggested that Tao Jingfei shrink the defense line, he immediately understood that Yang Zhen planned to let Tao Jingfei fight with the Eighth Division. Try to use the mountains in that area to weaken the Eighth Division and the various attached units.
There is vitality.
By the time Yang Zhen was halfway through what he was saying, Guo Bingxun had completely understood what he was thinking. He was planning to free up his hands on the Du Kaishan side and use them to attack directly from the current location to the southeast and cut off the Eighth Route Army.
The division's connection with the 29th Division. At the same time, it cooperated with the troops attacking on the northern front to defeat the Japanese troops on the eastern front.
As for the reserve force at the back commanded by Liu Changshun, I am afraid that it is the main assault force in his plan. Not to mention the Japanese army, not many people in the reserve team know about it. If the Japanese army is caught, it will attack him.
Due to errors in judgment of troop strength and equipment, launching an assault from Raohe directly into Hulin with a powerful force might have greatly surprised the Japanese army.
This tactical concept has great potential, but at the moment the overall war situation is still barely maintaining the initiative. Is it too early to talk about these things? The first ten regiments formed by the Production and Construction Corps have not yet taken action.
The ten regiments formed in the second batch are still intensifying their training and are still some distance away from being able to participate in the war.
Even though the formation has been completed now, from Fujin to Raohe and then to Hulin, the road is not only mountainous and forested, but the few plains are also large swamps. Let the armored brigade advance from this route and follow the
Judging from the current training situation of the armored brigade, this may not be possible.
After hesitating for a while, Guo Bingxun decided to pour cold water on Yang Zhen truthfully: "Commander, let Tao Jingfei shrink his defensive position. I agree with this. If necessary, we can abandon Baoqing County and shrink all our forces to Baoqing.
Mountain West.”
"But at the moment, Commander, it is still too early to consider a full-scale counterattack. From the overall battle situation, Wang Guangyu is the focus on the western front. On the eastern front, Du Kaishan is the top priority. The Japanese troops on these two lines only need to
Until all the issues are resolved, our counterattack will be impossible."
"Commander, before the current war situation is completely clear, I suggest that the second-phase troops organized by the Production and Construction Corps should temporarily go south to Baoqing and wait at the Fujin junction. Now for us, how to ensure sufficient front-line troops?
That’s the key.”
"It is better to cut off one of his ten fingers than to injure them. Concentrate superior forces and annihilate the enemy's effective strength. This is what you repeatedly emphasized in the military region cadre training class. Why have you forgotten it now? When the enemy on the Western Front is still resisting,
We spread our troops around to attack. This is somewhat contrary to military common sense." "Commander, you can't bite off more than you can chew. I understand your thoughts, but we must be based on our current situation and overall situation. Even if you want to
To put uncooked rice in a pot, you have to set up the stove first, right? You also have to have enough firewood, right? Unless we interrupt the counterattack against the Fourteenth Division, we won't be able to gather enough troops at all."
"It's a good plan to outflank the Japanese 11th Division from Raohe to Hulin. But have you considered the terrain there? This road is located at the junction of Wanda Mountain and the Wusuli River. There are swamps everywhere.
There are only a few roads in the mountains and forests, and they are all under the control of long-range artillery fire by the Japanese army. Such terrain is simply impossible for armored troops to conduct an assault."
"And even if the 11th Division completes its insertion in Dukai Mountain and all moves westward, the 8th Division's predicament will be solved by moving westward. But there is still a newly formed Japanese border garrison stationed in Hulin with thousands of troops. If the northern route
The attacking troops were unable to seize Hulin County on time. They waited for the 11th Division to react and retreated with all their strength after the 8th Division switched from defense to offense. It would probably be a disaster for the northern troops waiting for us to become the lone force.
The Armored Brigade is our only armored force."
"Commander, my intention is to first deal with the Sixth Division on the western front, the eastward marching force of the Sixth Division on the central line, and the Tenth Division on the eastern front. The rest will wait until these three parts are completed and we will see how the situation develops.
And the Japanese army is making plans after adjusting its troop deployment according to the war situation."
Regarding Guo Bingxun's suggestion, Yang Zhen said: "Old Guo, as the saying goes, take one step and see three steps. Although the entire war situation is not yet completely clear. Although the strength of the front line is somewhat insufficient, the increase of ten regiments is enough. One of our
The regiment is three thousand strong, almost the same as a Japanese regiment."
"Although there is still a certain gap between the quality of individual soldiers and the quality of grassroots commanders, the firepower configuration at the regiment level is overall better than that of the Japanese army. As long as we form superior forces locally, we are still certain to defeat the Japanese army. At present, the tenth
Although the parts of the division including Baoqing and Boli have not yet been completely wiped out, the overall situation has been decided."
"Although it will take some time for Wang Guangyu on the western front, after Yi Liangpin returned to his position in a roundabout way, the enemies in southern Yilan were already in a situation of being attacked from both sides. Our army has an absolute advantage in strength and firepower, and has seized all the opportunities. This
If the two directions can be resolved, the entire Japanese front will be divided by our army into two large parts, east and west."
"Lao Guo, I think it's time for us to consider a first-step combat plan. Think about it, if the Eighth Division learns that the part of the Tenth Division left on the Baoqing front line is annihilated or defeated by our army
, what choice will be made? Should we withdraw to the front line of Mishan, Muling, and Hulin to form a defensive overall with the 11th Division and the 29th Division? Or should we continue westward relying on the 11th Division behind us?
Enter?"
"As for whether the armored brigade can launch an attack from Raohe. Lao Guo, the Germans launched the French Campaign in early May. In order to avoid the front of the French Maginot Line, they used an armored corps to attack from the mountainous Ardennes.
They detoured through the area and successfully broke through the French defense line in one fell swoop. What the Germans can do, why can't we Chinese?"
"Although the line from Raohe to Hulin is crisscrossed with mountains, numerous rivers, and large swamps, in the eyes of ordinary people, it would be difficult for even an ordinary infantry group to achieve a large-scale breakthrough here, let alone a large number of armored troops.
It's like what the French say about the Ardennes."
"Of course you have studied in France and have some understanding of the terrain of the Ardennes region. Although the Ardennes region is mountainous, its average altitude is only more than 200 meters above sea level. The complexity of the terrain is incomparable to this area. But Lao Guo has
One thing you may have forgotten is that although the terrain here is more complicated than the Ardennes region, the traffic conditions are also better than there."
"The Hutou Fortress located in Hulin is one of the most important fortresses of the Japanese army in the Northeast, and it is also the main gathering area for its war against the Soviet Union. In order to ensure the mobilization of soldiers, the supply of materials and the transportation of heavy equipment in this fortress, the Japanese army built
There are a large number of so-called national defense roads and railways. These roads run from east to west and from north to south. Although they facilitate the Japanese army, they undoubtedly provide favorable conditions for our army to implement large-scale armored forces."
"Although there are many rivers in Raohe and Hulin, except for the Muling River, the current volume of many rivers is not very large, and tanks can completely cross it. And although the Wanda Mountain in Raohe is not
It is short, but the mountains are relatively gentle. The reason why I chose this place is precisely because of the terrain here."
"We believe that the terrain here is not suitable for armored assault operations. I am afraid that the Japanese army, which has more conservative tactics, will think that this area is not a favorable place for large corps operations. Otherwise, they would mobilize heavy troops and penetrate directly from Hulin to Fujin, giving
We're going to be a lot more trouble than we are now."
"Surprise and attack are unprepared. This is an important reason why I chose this area that the Japanese army believed was not suitable for large corps operations to launch the second phase. Swamps, rivers and mountains, for the armored brigade that has completed complex terrain training
, it is not insurmountable. If we can occupy Hulin, we will encircle the Japanese Eighth Division and the Eleventh Division at once."
As for the strength of the troops, I plan to adjust the entire battle situation after Wang Guangyu completes the encirclement and annihilation of the Japanese troops in the southern Yilan area. The offensive on Wang Xiaoming's side will be turned into a defensive one. Only one brigade and an independent fifth brigade composed of three divisional troops will be left.
, to suppress the 14th Division. The rest of the troops, including the first column, will all be transferred eastward. ""In this way, our army will concentrate the strength of nine brigades, ten reserve infantry regiments, and one armored brigade on the eastern front.
The total strength of our army will reach 70% of our army's total strength, 120,000. Together with most of the artillery and all armored forces, in addition to air superiority on the Eastern Front, our army has already defeated the Japanese army in terms of strength and firepower.
Take an absolute advantage."
"I still say what I said, the battlefield is a gamble. Since we started this gamble first, we might as well bet bigger. Seizing the weaknesses of the Japanese army, we will turn them upside down."
