Five hundred and thirtieth IX embarrassing first day
Hearing Du Kaishan's praise, Wang Xiaoming smiled bitterly and said: "Old Du, I heard your tone is so sour. [.! You know much better than me about the surface position structure of each fortress group of the Japanese army. From the Miaoling Fortress Group
When it comes to Lumingtai Fortress and Suifenhe Fortress Group, those were not captured by your Third Column."
"Look at a little bit to get a glimpse of the whole picture. These days, you know the external structure of the Japanese fortress group and the configuration of firepower points very well. In contrast, I only have some understanding of the inside of the Japanese fortress group. I think you have already known it in your mind.
I’ve made a certain decision, but I just don’t say it.”
"My experience is just that when I led the Second Column for synthetic training at the Fujin Comprehensive Training Base last year, I took time out with Lao Tao to visit the Fujin Fortress Group. At that time, I thought that the Japanese army had built countless fortresses in the Northeast.
Fortifications, we will not encounter a few opportunities in the future. It is better to make preparations in advance than to improvise."
"Although this Fujin Fortress has not been completed, it still has a rough prototype. Moreover, most of the fortresses built by the Japanese army were built on the mountains. Although the external shapes are different due to the different shapes of the mountains, the internal structures are similar.
, very similar.”
"Now that I am serving as a military officer, I am different from being a political commissar in the past. I have to consider things more from a military perspective, so I took a few rescued workers and carefully inspected the internal structure of the entire Fujin Fortress. You Lao Du
You may be familiar with the appearance of the fortification groups we took down, but the inside has been bombed to a mess and nothing can be seen. Even if you want to accumulate experience, you won't be able to accumulate it."
Regarding Wang Xiaoming's words, Du Kaishan waved his hand and said: "Old Wang, I'm not jealous, we are all old comrades in arms, and I don't have that idea. One is one, two is two. You think longer than me, just compare.
I have a long-term view. I have just thought about it, we cannot disperse our operations and need a unified command. I sent a telegram to No. 1 and suggested that you unified command our two columns to carry out the critical battle of Dongning Fortress."
Hearing Du Kaishan's thoughts, Wang Xiaoming waved his hands and said: "Old Du, don't criticize me. My experience is just on paper. Your brother has been fighting from the Miaoling fortress group in Mishan. Faced with this kind of
The fortification group has much more experience than I do. This battle is still under your unified command. I obey your orders."
Having said this, Wang Xiaoming sighed and said: "It's a pity that Lao Ma was defeated by the remnants of No. 1 who stayed in Mudanjiang to suppress the Japanese. If he were here, there would be many more Dao Dao than us. He is a poisonous wolf. To deal with these Japanese,
Their ideas and skills are definitely better than ours."
Of course, Wang Xiaoming's emotion was only short-lived, and he quickly said: "Old Du, let's not say more. We will submit our combat plan to the headquarters, and we will start preparations here. We commanders should consider it in more detail.
The soldiers will bleed less."
In response to several people's requests for instructions, the headquarters responded very quickly. Less than two hours after the telegram was sent, Yang Zhen responded. In addition to approving the two people's combat plan, he also replied that the headquarters had decided to form the Eastern Front with the existing troops on the Eastern Front.
Corps. Du Kaishan serves as the commander, Chen Hanzhang serves as the political commissar. Wang Xiaoming serves as the deputy commander, and the political commissar of the third column Huang Yuqing concurrently serves as the deputy political commissar and director of the political department of the Corps. Sui Changqing, the chief of staff of the third column, serves as the chief of staff of the Corps, unified command of the two columns
Brigade and the main force of the three columns launched the Dongning Campaign."
"At the same time, Ma Qichang and Xia Boxun temporarily served as the deputy chief of staff of the Eastern Front Corps. They commanded the aviation and heavy artillery units that had arrived in Muling, Dongning and cooperated with the Eastern Front Corps. At the same time, the headquarters decided to increase the number of four troops who are currently undergoing training and were transferred from the pass.
The old troops of the battalion were integrated into some Puppet Manchukuo prisoners of war and rescued laborers, and the independent 9th and 11th brigades were organized and assigned to the third column."
People in this era, especially soldiers, are all about being quick and resolute. With the command telegram from the headquarters, a few people only held a simple meeting, and that afternoon Xia Boxun transferred a transport plane from Jiamusi to the captured Dongfang.
Ning Fusangtai Field Airport is used by the corps commander when commanding operations.
At the same time, the aviation regiment that had moved to Muling Bamiantong Airport was ordered to seize the time to reserve bombs and fuel. It also urgently airlifted napalm bombs from the Tangyuan Qunce Mountain secret base to Bamiantong Airport, and airlifted heavy equipment from Harbin to the heavy artillery groups on the front line of Hulin.
Cannonballs.
However, neither Chen Hanzhang nor Huang Yuqing objected to Du Kaishan and Wang Xiaoming taking a plane at the same time to observe the situation of Dongning Fortress. In desperation, Du Kaishan chose to compromise and let Wang Xiaoming and Sui Changqing lead several operations.
The staff officer took a plane and first observed and drew a map of the entire Dongning Fortress.
However, even though all reconnaissance methods were used, the vegetation in this area was too dense. An afternoon and a night of tactical reconnaissance, but the results were very limited. Wang Xiaoming took several combat staff and hovered in the sky for an entire afternoon, but only
We found several obvious heavy artillery positions and anti-tank trenches, as well as some forward fortification groups and railway lines between various fortress groups.
Although the reconnaissance effect was not very obvious, Du Kaishan still decided to launch the attack according to the original plan, and covered Li Mingrui's unit of the reconnaissance brigade directly under the military region to launch a secret infiltration operation. According to the plan, Du Kaishan's three columns started from the Yama Palace in the north,
Launch an attack on the 409 Highlands, North Tianshan Mountains, and Demaru Mountains in the north.
Wang Xiaoming commanded the main force of the second column. In addition to leaving two regiments to guard the Sancha River to block the Japanese army in the direction of Hunchun, Wang Xiaoming personally commanded four regiments to attack the Triangle Mountains and Mada Mountains along both sides of the Suifen River. The focus was on the front line of the Triangle Mountains and Mada Mountains.
It is the highest point of the entire Dongning fortress group, the Triangle Mountain Line.
Ma Qichang coordinated the heavy artillery groups and cooperated with the artillery of each column and the brigade to provide fire cover for the infantry attack. At the same time, Xia Boxun personally commanded the aviation force to carry out carpet operations on various hills of the Japanese army, especially the connections between the various fortress groups.
bombing.
For this battle, the aviation force took out all the only 1,500 bombs with a specification of over 100 kilograms on hand. At the same time, it stored 400 incendiary bombs and napalm bombs of various specifications at Muling Airport. This has been
They are all the various bombs that the aviation force can come up with that can be used in air strikes.
When the official attack was launched on September 14, Xia Boxun personally led the team into the air. All bomber groups were dispatched to carry out coverage bombing of various important targets in the Dongning Fortress Group. An air guidance group was also formed to guide the deployment.
The deep heavy artillery group carried out long-range fire strikes on the Japanese anti-aircraft artillery positions.
Although the main fortification groups and firepower points of the Japanese army mainly faced the Soviet Union in the east, they still brought unimaginable difficulties to the attacking troops. Although there were not many artillery firepower points deployed in the side and rear direction, the cross firepower formed gave
The attacking force still caused a lot of casualties.
In order to cover the attack of the troops, reduce the casualties of the attacking troops, and destroy the Japanese firepower points, Ma Qichang did not hesitate to risk the artillery shells hitting the boundary, and pushed two 240 mm cannons to a place less than five kilometers away from the battlefield to fire at close range.
Possibly increase the penetration of artillery shells.
Although there was air cover above and heavy artillery below, progress was still very limited after the fierce fighting on the first day. In addition to destroying most of the Japanese army's mobile anti-aircraft gun positions and cutting off the surface transportation of various Japanese fortress groups, there was no progress in other aspects.
Extremely slow.
Although in order to cover the attacking troops, the artillery group on the northern front destroyed 3,000 artillery shells on the first day of combat. However, the troops on the northern front under the personal command of Du Kaishan only occupied the surface position of Highland 409.
The main Japanese fortresses in the north, Beitian Mountain and Demaru Mountain, are still in the hands of the Japanese army.
On the southern front, although the second column commanded by Wang Xiaoming captured the surface position of the Triangle Mountain, the commanding heights of the entire Dongning Fortress Group, at the cost of more than half of the casualties of one regiment, and seized both banks of the Suifen River, dividing the entire Dongning Fortress into two. However,
The attack on the front line of Madashan failed repeatedly.
Faced with the embarrassing battle situation of only two permanent fortification group surface positions being captured at the end of the first day, ammunition, especially artillery shells, were severely consumed. At dusk of the battle, Du Kaishan issued an order to temporarily terminate the attack in depth and assemble first.
An order to clear out the occupied underground fortifications in Triangle Mountain and Highland 409 with heavy troops.
After the first day's battle, Du Kaishan and Wang Xiaoming met and saw the helpless look in each other's eyes. On the first day of the attack, the two columns suffered a combined casualty of more than 3,000 people, but the result was only ten
Two surface positions on one hilltop.
As for Wang Xiaoming's unit, because it was not equipped with flamethrowers and lacked similar combat experience, the number of casualties was even greater than that of Du Kaishan's unit. In particular, a main regiment under Wang Xiaoming suffered one-third casualties in one afternoon, and his regiment commander
They were attacked by Japanese artillery fire, and the regiment leader was wounded and the political commissar died. Wang Xiaoming stomped his feet in distress.
Looking at the mountains in front of him that looked dark under the night, Du Kaishan was silent for a long time before saying: "Old Wang, we can't continue fighting like this tomorrow. If we fight so hard on the top of a mountain, you and I will be two columns.
If these more than ten regiments are filled in, it may not be possible to capture the entire Dongning Fortress."
"I think tomorrow we will launch an attack at the same time, using multiple approaches to advance together. The feint attack and the actual attack will cooperate with each other to disperse the Japanese firepower deployment. I will use the main force to attack the Xunshan front line, and at the same time use a regiment's force to adopt roundabout tactics until we reach the target.
Shenghongshan Fortress is the core of the entire fortress group."
"Over there, attack Madashan Fortress and Nantianshan Fortress with all your strength, and at the same time clear out the Japanese underground fortifications inside Triangle Mountain. I don't think you should enter the fortress, and blow up all the exits you can find. At the same time, on the mountain
We must conduct a careful investigation and find all the entrances, exits and ventilation holes of the Japanese army, and blow them all up after finding them."
"I estimate that the focus of the battle tomorrow will be on your side. The Triangle Mountain line is the commanding heights of the entire Dongning border. Now that the surface position is lost, the Japanese army will not give up. This afternoon, the Japanese army defeated Hongshan, and the heavy artillery firepower on the Xunshan line was mainly concentrated on
Triangle Mountain. The Japanese army will send out heavy troops tomorrow to compete for this commanding height. For us, this may be a rare opportunity."
