The Japanese army had almost no way to counterattack the multi-arms composite group composed of cavalry, tanks and infantry like Chen Hanzhang. [.!//The 19th Division also tried to use the meat ammunition used by the 23rd Division in Nomenhan
Tactics. However, in each cluster, in addition to close infantry cover, there were basically several modified light tanks. The machine gun firepower on them turned Japanese soldiers who tried to launch a body bomb attack into a hornet's nest.
Although Chen Hanzhang has not specifically studied armored tactical command, in addition to listening to Yang Zhen teach some armored tactical command at the military region training team's senior commanders' synthetic training class, and having trained with tanks at the Fujin synthetic training base,
I am quite talented in the use of armored clusters...
In this battle, Chen Hanzhang fully demonstrated the mobility, protection and firepower of tanks when facing infantry. The combined firepower advantages of infantry, cavalry and tanks were fully demonstrated under his command. Although this
In World War I, more than 40 tanks were lost, accounting for one-third of the armored brigade's strength. However, Yang Zhen still called it a classic battle.
After this battle, Yang Zhen made this battle a required teaching material for the combined class of senior commanders above the brigade in the military region and the training class for regimental cadres. After the Soviet tanks arrived, and when the military region armored force headquarters was established, Chen Hanzhang was appointed as the first commander.
Served as commander and political commissar.
Of course, this is a story for another day. For Chen Hanzhang, how can he persist with the limited troops at hand until Li Mingrui evacuates the workers. After several days of fierce fighting, the infantry suffered heavy losses. As the main tactic,
The armored troops who fought back also suffered heavy losses.
Although in terms of tactics, Chen Hanzhang thought of many ways to curb the threat of Japanese infantry to tanks. At the same time, he tried his best to destroy most of the Japanese naval gun calibration points. But it was impossible to completely stop the Japanese infantry from attacking tanks.
.Although the Japanese 37 rapid-fire cannon is not very powerful, it still poses a considerable threat to light tanks when fired at a distance of tens of meters.
Moreover, the observation points of the Japanese naval guns cannot be completely eliminated. Although the shooting accuracy of the Japanese naval guns has been greatly reduced, the power of the 200mm artillery on several cruisers still brought Chen Hanzhang a lot of trouble.
The trouble. Under the premise that these warships cannot carry out precise shooting, the power of fire coverage is still quite large.
Since there was no training in aircraft bombing warships, the aviation force could not do anything to help these warships, which had become the main covering firepower of the 19th Division after the Japanese ground artillery firepower was greatly weakened. Several air raids were fruitless.
After not achieving any results, the aviation force had to stop this wasteful action of wasting bombs.
Although the reinforcements sent by Du Kaishan took over the disabled Korean Independent Division and assumed the main defense tasks, this regiment was the most complete regiment in the three verticals and was transferred from other troops by Du Kaishan.
The strength has been replenished. However, after a long battle, the strength is still quite incomplete. This regiment, which is known as the most complete three-column organization, actually only has six companies.
Although the reinforcements were capable, they were not large in number. The few battalions Chen Hanzhang had at his disposal suffered more than half of their casualties in the three days of fierce fighting. On the fifth day of the fierce fighting, when faced with a regiment of Japanese reinforcements, although there were
Despite the strong support of the armored troops, the troops on hand were still too weak, and Chen Hanzhang was still unable to support him after all.
After the fifth day of fierce fighting, Chen Hanzhang gave up the front-line position in Songzhen Mountain and began to gradually shrink his troops. On the seventh day of the battle, after Li Mingrui finally transported tens of thousands of workers, Chen Hanzhang took the company's reinforcements and added them together, and the only ones left were already
With less than one regiment in strength, armored troops and cavalry were immediately used to break up the rear, and the remaining units took turns to cover and began to retreat.
After waiting for three full days, the ammunition finally arrived from Pyongyang, as well as a regiment reinforced by the military commander. I felt more confident last month when Liangfu saw that his opponent finally began to retreat, but he returned the favor. Not only did he mobilize a
The regiment stubbornly clung to Chen Hanzhang and even sent some troops to use the brigade as an organization to take overstepping measures and tried to capture Chen Hanzhang's troops in North Korea.
After receiving the reinforcements, Lieutenant General Yoshio Shangyue, who was full of confidence, wanted to know what he was doing. Chen Hanzhang, who had extremely rich actual combat experience, had long expected his approach. Chen Hanzhang did not just lower his head and retreat, but set up a mobile ambush north of Fengshanli.
Concentrating all the artillery and most of the infantry, it took only seven hours to defeat an infantry brigade of the 19th Division that was conducting an overtaking pursuit according to Yoshio last month's order.
Although the scale of the Fengshanli battle was not large, after being bitten by the opponent, the 19th Division became much more honest. They did not dare to do anything, but just followed Chen Hanzhang to see off the guests.
After a small loss, Liangfu last month gave up the idea of annihilating Chen Hanzhang in North Korea.
For Yoshio last month, although he could not completely annihilate his opponents in North Korea, he was able to fulfill the order given by the commander of the North Korean army to drive the opponents out of North Korea. After the loss of troops and several divisions of the Kwantung Army
Compared to the group, which was much smaller, Yoshio Utsuki was already very proud of being able to do this.
As for whether his brilliant tactical goal can be realized, it is no longer important to him. Last month, Liangfu did not want to take any more risks. However, after Chen Hanzhang withdrew, facing the area north of Songzhen Mountain that was already a scorched earth,
Last month, Liangfu was dumbfounded.
When Chen Hanzhang retreated, according to the order of the headquarters, he not only took away all the labor and available materials in the area under his control, but also blew up all the bridges on the roads and railways. All the rails were dismantled and transported back to the country by car.
Even the telegraph poles were blown down with explosives or tanks tied with wire ropes to pull them down one by one.
After withdrawing into the country, Chen Hanzhang did not directly return to the base area. Instead, he occupied all the commanding heights at the junction of Dongning and Hunchun in accordance with the orders of the headquarters. While Chen Hanzhang retreated, Wang Xiaoming at the junction of Wangqing and Hunchun also began to gradually shrink his troops.
, broke away from contact with the Japanese army in accordance with the requirements of the headquarters.
As Wang Xiaoming withdrew to Dongning to rest and recuperate, the four-month battle ended on September 28. Yang Zhen's troops successively annihilated all five Japanese divisions at the cost of nearly 60,000 casualties.
Most of the three divisions and one division of each of the two divisions totaled more than 100,000 people. They liberated vast areas of Binjiang Province, Longjiang Province, and Heihe Province in Manchuria.
During the battle, they not only annihilated a large number of Japanese troops, but also annihilated a large number of Japanese tanks, heavy artillery and other regiments. In air battles and ground battles, thousands of Japanese aircraft were destroyed. They also conquered the Kwantung Army's largest military base in the Northeast.
Two fortress groups, Dongning and Hutou Fortress, as well as the so-called border positions in Mishan and other places.
Yang Zhen's troops seized a large number of weapons and equipment in the battle against the Japanese army. Not counting various large-caliber heavy artillery, more than 50,000 rifles alone were seized, as well as nearly 10,000 light and heavy machine guns, and countless other military supplies. From various Japanese fortresses
At the construction site, more than 80,000 workers were rescued.
After this battle, according to Yang Zhen's estimation, even if the Japanese army carried out full mobilization, it would take at least half a year to replenish the casualties caused by this battle. In other words, after this battle, at least within half a year, both sides would basically be
It is certain that there will be no war.
Because after this battle, the Japanese army lost not only manpower, but also huge material resources. 70% of the Kwantung Army's heavy artillery, 80% of its tanks, and 90% of its aviation force were all wiped out in this battle. If you want to reduce the losses in this battle,
Judging from the current domestic military output in Japan, it will take less than a year to complete the replenishment of huge weapons and equipment.
The Kwantung Army was crippled in this battle, but in this battle that killed a thousand enemies and suffered 800 losses, Yang Zhen's troops also suffered heavy casualties. When the battle was completely over, in order to replenish troops, the entire Production and Construction Corps
All men of military age were conscripted into the army. If Yang Zhen had not been prepared in advance and imported a batch of tractors and combine harvesters from the Soviet Union, there would have been no one to harvest the nearly mature crops.
Faced with the Kwantung Army, which had virtually no troops due to excessive troop losses and could only be guarded by various puppet Manchukuo armed forces in large areas, it was extremely tired. Also due to excessive troop casualties, its effective strength had been exhausted.
Yang Zhen's troops were exhausted and could only switch to defense on the spot. After receiving a telegram from Wang Xiaoming that he had withdrawn to Dongning, Yang Zhen looked at the large map of Northeast China in front of him and felt a little depressed. Although he knew that the troops were exhausted and in urgent need of rest.
Faced with a situation where the Japanese defense force was quite empty in a large area, and even the so-called New Kyoto, the capital of the puppet Manchukuo, had no force to defend, Yang Zhen was still a little unwilling.
Yang Zhen knows that if he waits for the Japanese army to recover, it will undoubtedly be more difficult and the price will be higher to recover these areas. However, the current situation where the troops have been used to the extreme makes him really powerless. In front of him, he is really powerless.
Their opponent is the Japanese Kwantung Army, but they are also supported by the most developed country in Asia.
No matter how much the Kwantung Army lost, considering the tens of millions of people in Japan, the lost troops can be replenished very quickly. If troops are recruited from North Korea, the replenishment can only be done faster. And facing a sparse population, even if new troops are added,
Northern Manchuria, with a population of only a few million in the liberated area, was still powerless to fight against the whole of Japan with just a small area.
Yang Zhen understood that he could not eat a fat man in one bite, and things had to happen step by step. The army needed to develop and grow bit by bit, and the war had to be fought year by year. The only way to completely drive the Japanese army out of Chinese territory in one breath was
A dream. At least for now, it's just a dream.
Forging iron requires one's own hard work. To realize this dream, one has to work hard, struggle and fight on oneself and all others. It takes countless people's blood and sacrifices to realize it step by step. But now, we can only go
Think about it. What you can do is to continuously enhance your own strength and work hard to achieve this goal as soon as possible.
You can't do anything to encourage growth. If you ignore the reality and force the move south, I'm afraid it will be counterproductive. Although the Kwantung Army suffered heavy losses in this battle, it still has a large number of troops within the Japanese China Expedition Force. If the Japanese army wants to
, its troops in China's customs can be quickly transferred back to the Northeast by using the railway.
In addition to the Japanese troops in the pass who can be mobilized to the northeast to participate in the war at any time, Yang Zhen also has the North Korean army with three divisions. Even if Yang Zhen wants to go south, he has to force it in the face of the Japanese troops who can reinforce them in large numbers at any time.
Suppressing the dream of liberating the entire Northeast in one fell swoop. This is the gap between dreams and reality.
