Having said this, Yang Zhen looked at his watch and said: "Yuan Bin should have made preparations. Several of their planes are already conducting reconnaissance over Miaoling and Banjiehe. [.Com text] In ten minutes,
Their bombers are about to arrive in the Miaoling area. Tell your troops that no matter what they see or how they feel, they are not allowed to tell anyone."
"Originally, I planned to use these bombs on the Camel Peak front line, but now that your penetration troops have entered, they can only be used on the Japanese heavy artillery fortifications in the direction of Miaoling. Don't worry, although these bombs are not as destructive as those
Large-tonnage aerial bombs are big, but they are very suitable for dealing with such fortresses. Do you really think that the headquarters has bombs and there is no place to throw them away, so you are going to waste them in vain? Let me tell you, the headquarters is not so generous. Especially me.
People are always cautious."
"But here, since the Japanese army has blown up the passage to the upper level, the few companies you left inside the Japanese fortifications are of little use. Tell them to leave one company on guard and withdraw all the rest of the troops.
Come out. Reorganize a detachment and prepare to receive the first batch of detachments. If there is an attack in the direction of Camel's Hump, your second batch of detachments will set off immediately to support the first batch of detachments."
"According to what you said, the entire Honey Mountain Japanese fortress group has about 1,500 troops. Judging from the current troops deployed by the Japanese army on the ridge and the casualties caused by previous battles, there are still 1,000 combat troops.
There are already a lot, and they also have to bear the defense of the entire area from Miaoling to Honey Mountain."
"According to estimates, the Japanese army is now estimated to have reached its extreme strength on the entire Camelback front line. Most of its so-called troops should now be involved in the 458th Highland. If they can take advantage of the empty troops behind them to seize Camelback in one fell swoop,
It will be of great help to you in future battles."
Du Kaishan nodded when he heard this and said: "No. 1, we have also considered this situation. However, there has been no response from the intervening troops, and there is still no movement in that direction. I have been worried about whether they will appear.
What an accident. After all, that direction was almost entirely exposed to Japanese artillery fire."
Hearing this, Yang Zhen smiled and said: "Why are you so restless today? Don't worry, just wait and see. Since there is no movement over there, it means that their roundabout operation has not been discovered by the Japanese army.
You chose a good time. You chose the time to insert the roundabout troops when you basically captured the surface of the 458th Highland and the leading company had already reached the ridgeline."
"This caused the Japanese army's main attention to be attracted by the front. There shouldn't be any big problems on their detour route this time. Wait, the time should be almost the same. If nothing unexpected happens, they will start.
Just for a while."
Yang Zhen's prediction was good. During the entire roundabout process, the troops did not encounter much trouble. Wu Ruofu, who led the team, did not pass the river at full speed for the sake of caution. Instead, he adopted a platoon-based unit.
, separated by fifty meters, using the large rocks scattered on the river as cover to pass quickly in batches.
Although this temporarily disrupted the organization, and the penetration speed was relatively low, it greatly reduced the chance of being discovered. Even if the Japanese army deployed a bunker group fire ambush on the penetration route, there would be no
Too many casualties caused the outflanking troops to lose their combat effectiveness.
After the two companies were all back in position, Wu Ruofu was in trouble. The competition for the ridgeline of the 458 Highlands over there was fierce. If the two companies in hand attacked their anti-slope positions along the ridge from behind, they would be greatly affected.
It can support frontal battles. At least it can greatly reduce the casualty rate of frontal attacks.
But looking at the Camel's Hump, which was not far away, the importance of taking the commanding heights overlooking the entire Japanese honey mountain fortress group was placed in front of Wu Ruofu. As long as the Camel's Hump was taken, it would be equivalent to blocking all the Japanese troops on the 458th Highland.
The route of retreat. At the same time, it also cut off the Japanese reinforcement route to the 458th Highland in other places. Moreover, occupying this commanding height can overlook the entire Honey Mountain Fortress Group, which can bring great convenience to subsequent operations.
Wu Ruofu, who understood that time is of the essence on the battlefield, knew that he would not have much time to hesitate. He looked back at the 458 Highlands where the fierce battle was taking place and gritted his teeth. Wu Ruofu still made up his mind to hit the camel's hump to seize the commanding heights and cut off the enemy.
The Japanese reinforcements route to seize the commanding heights.
Since the ongoing fierce fighting on the 458 Highlands attracted most of the Japanese army's attention, they were unable to discover in time the alternate cover along the ridge between the 458 Highlands and Camelback to Camelback. With the help of the two mountains forcibly intersecting,
This roundabout force was led by Wu Ruofu. In order to prevent Japanese radio monitoring, Wu Ruofu ordered all the walkie-talkies to be turned off.
Although the Japanese troops whose attention was drawn to Highland 458 did not notice the intervening troops, Wu Ruofu still acted cautiously. He led the roundabout troops to carefully follow the ridge between the two mountains, forming an offensive formation, and took advantage of the vegetation.
Cover carefully marched towards the Camelback line because he did not believe that the Japanese army did not build cover fortifications on this extremely important ridge.
The Japanese army's caution after penetrating into the depths of Honey Mountain, coupled with the caution when making detours and Wu Ruofu's brief hesitation, resulted in the delay in starting the battle in the direction of Camelback as planned, which aroused Du Kaishan's worry.
But things always have two sides. Wu Ruofu's caution and radio silence, although the superiors behind him did not know how his progress was, succeeded in making the main attention attracted by the fierce frontal battle on the 458th Highland. The Japanese troops who passed by were not aware of it.
Even noticing his own devious actions.
In fact, Wu Ruofu didn't know that it was right to be more cautious when using the dry river cut off by the Japanese army as a roundabout route to the 458 Highlands. The 458 Highlands served as the outpost of the entire Japanese Honey Mountain Fortress Group, and all projects
It's over. In order to ensure the safety of the flanks of the 458th Highland, a large number of bunker groups and firepower points were indeed deployed on the circuitous route chosen by Wu Ruofu.
It's just that when Wu Ruofu made a roundabout way, the fortifications inside the 458 Highland Mountains that controlled and used these bunkers had been cut off by the troops rushing into the Japanese tunnels. These bunker groups had become nothing more than decorations for the ears of the deaf. But from 458
On the ridge from the highlands to Camelback, the Japanese army had indeed not had time to build protective fortifications.
As the first batch of the so-called eastern border fortresses built by the Japanese army, it was the last one to start construction. It was also the smallest one, and the latest one to complete the first phase of the project. The construction of the Honey Mountain to Miaoling fortresses was only completed last winter.
The main project was completed, that is, the fortifications of the 458 Highlands facing the Manchu-Soviet border, as well as the artillery positions and sortie points from Luotuofeng to Miaoling.
As for the cover fortifications on the flank positions and various traffic points, due to the huge change in the combat targets, the Soviet army has now turned to the Anti-Alliance, and is adjusting the design and has not had time to build it. The underground passages between the 458 Highlands and the Camel Peak line and
Most of the supporting facilities, such as power generation equipment, water storage and heating buildings and equipment, have been completed, but the remaining supporting facilities have not yet been built.
The reason for this is not only that the fortress group from Miaoling to Honey Mountain was built the latest and was completed the latest. It is also because of the changes in the situation within the Kwantung Army and the Tokyo base camp since the autumn battle of 2008. Whether the original situation has changed
There were considerable differences of opinion over the strategic plan, which temporarily halted the second phase of the project, which was originally planned to start in the spring of this year.
The Kwantung Army believes that the top priority is to shift its financial and material resources to annihilate the growing resistance. In order to ensure this premise, in addition to the fortress groups in Manchuria and Hailar in the west and Heihe, the East Manchu area from Hunchun to
The fortress group in Hulin needs to be functionally improved. In other words, these fortress groups not only have to deal with the Soviet army confronting them across the river, but also have to guard against the increasingly large anti-alliance forces in North Manchuria.
However, the Tokyo Base Camp has always believed that the Kwantung Army's biggest enemy in Manchuria and the main opponent of the empire's subsequent strategic goals is still the Soviet army, which is huge and has a large amount of modern equipment. It is not the resistance alliance that is just a straggler in their impression.
Due to differences in the overall strategic deployment, not only the Japanese fortress group at Honey Mountain, but also the follow-up projects of all the fortress groups on the entire East Manchu border starting from Hunchun Wujiazi Fortress to Hulin Fortress, except for half
The river stopped outside the fortress for quite some time.
Of course, the differences between the two sides are only changes in the targets of the war in the future. The ultimate goal has not changed, and they will still lock their opponents to the Soviet army. As for the threat posed by the sudden emergence of Yang Zhen's troops, whether in Meijin
From the perspective of General Yoshijiro and the Japanese Army Ministry, although it cannot be said that it is just irrelevant to the overall situation, it is far from becoming a serious concern.
However, under the increasing pressure of the Anti-Japanese Alliance and the Hulin Fortress, Miaoling Fortress, Banjiehe Fortress and Dongning Fortress Group in the East Manchuria area were already within the attack range of Yang Zhen's troops, the Kwantung Army insisted on
Make adjustments to the second phase of these fortress projects.
In other words, the Kwantung Army believes that the combat targets of these fortress groups should not only include the Soviet troops in front of them, but also the anti-alliance forces behind them. And if the main body of the project has been basically completed, the targets throughout the entire East Manchurian border
Some adjustments to the functions of the fortress group mean that the entire fortress group planning needs to be re-implemented and major modifications must be made in many places.
It also means that the funding needs to increase significantly. And all of this is precisely what the Army, which is currently rapidly expanding its military structure and has already been under considerable pressure, cannot accept. Moreover, in addition to funding, the Army's modifications to the fortress functions,
The delays caused by this are also unacceptable.
