Just as the fierce fighting was taking place in Langfang, a moderate battle also took place on both sides of the China-Eastern Railway Mudanjiang Bridge.
The Kwantung Army engineering troops stationed in Mudanjiang took advantage of the darkness to repair the railway bridge. The Japanese troops in the following regiment were also ready to go and were ready to cross the river at any time. Unexpectedly, just when a brigade of engineers was having a good time, a few flares rushed into the river.
A brilliant light bursts out from the sky, and every detail of the entire river surface appears.
Immediately, guns and artillery fired at the anti-Japanese rescue position across the river. In just a few minutes, hundreds of artillery shells fell on the bridge on the west bank and the river on both sides. The already shaky bridge piers could no longer withstand the blow.
It collapsed suddenly, and the Japanese army threw away more than a hundred corpses in embarrassment and retreated wildly to the defensive position. All kinds of construction equipment were scattered all over the river bank.
Then the Japanese artillery position in the east of Mudanjiang City began a round of saturation artillery bombardment on the anti-Japanese and Japanese-rescuing Japanese defense lines on the other side of the river. The artillery fire gradually stopped after more than ten minutes. Unfortunately, the anti-Japanese warriors who hid in the anti-artillery cave were not injured at all.
At dawn, a group of Japanese troops wearing red crosses and white sleeves, holding white flags and carrying stretchers, entered the river beach with bare hands and collected the corpses of Japanese engineers scattered on the west bank. The two sides continued to engage in a confrontation.
This was another defeat for the Kwantung Army on the west bank of the Mudanjiang River after several days and nights of rushing to repair the railway bridge or launch a cross-river attack. Since the Japanese army did not invest much troops and was not determined enough, it was difficult for the anti-Japanese rescue forces equipped with machine guns, cannons and anti-aircraft machine guns.
**For me, it was undoubtedly a delicious meal delivered to my door, and I accepted it without any hesitation.
Whether it was the *** Division when the Anjia Army made its fortune, the later Seventeenth Army, or the Twenty-Fourth Army, or the later formed Twenty-Sixth Army, the New Second Army, etc., or even the newly established Anti-Japanese Rescue Army,
There is a strange phenomenon when fighting with the Japanese army. They do not fall behind in local battles.
Disadvantage. Perhaps it is due to conflicting tactics. Generally speaking, before large-scale operations, the Japanese army will launch a charge with a small group of troops, to ascertain the firepower configuration and troop deployment of the defenders at a very small cost, and to calibrate the artillery fire.
Zhuyuan, and then there was massive artillery fire coverage
, bombard the defenders' defense lines and light and heavy firepower points in one fell swoop, and then send out the army to launch a general attack - but this method of attack is useless against the Anjia Army. In terms of the number of artillery fires, everyone is equal to each other, especially the number of mortars.
, the front-line troops of Anjia Army are better equipped than the Japanese army.
There are many, coupled with the powerful firepower network constructed by light and heavy weapons, as well as the sniper team equipped at the company and platoon level to specifically select officers, grenadier soldiers, machine gunners and other important targets, making the Japanese army proud of the grenade gun ***
There was no room for improvement in tactics, so I often returned home depressed.
The light and heavy weapons obtained by the Anti-Japanese Liberation Army from defense fortifications in Jining and later on the border were enough to arm an army. Coupled with the assistance of the Soviet Far East Military District, they achieved an advantage in firepower. With these days
With the construction and consolidation of the second, third, and fourth lines of defense on the east bank of Mudanjiang, the first batch of anti-aircraft machine guns and artillery aided by the Soviet army were also deployed one after another, and the positions on the east bank became increasingly firm.
In the past few days, the First Division took turns sending three newly formed brigades to the forward positions for rotation. This not only allowed each brigade to feel the atmosphere of the war, improve their psychological endurance, but also trained shooting and some combat skills. It can be said that it was one fell swoop.
Duode. Since the railway runs through Jining and the east bank of Mudanjiang, transportation is extremely convenient.
The three brigades have been rotated every day, and each soldier fired at least one or twenty rounds of bullets. The morale of the army was high, and the combat effectiveness was doubled. The Japanese army on the east coast suffered from the "restraint" order issued by the Kwantung Army Headquarters, and it took a long time to find
There was no effective way to cross the river, so they faced off across the Mudanjiang River with the anti-Japanese rescuers.
At 11:30 in the morning, Jining County.
After attending the establishment ceremony of the Municipal Council and the Municipal Women's Federation, a group of division commanders from the First Division visited the Jining quilt factory, printing and dyeing factory, chemical factory and military factory. They were still unfulfilled and just wanted to return to the headquarters in order to
Drive to several nearby coal mines to see if they can increase coal production capacity? More than 500 people were previously captured
The Japanese army, more than 3,000 stubborn puppet troops and more than 5,000 Japanese businessmen and overseas Chinese who were too late to evacuate are undergoing labor reform in major coal mines in Jining. In addition to part of the coal output, part of the coal is supplied to Jining Steel Plant, trains and other domestic needs.
In addition, others are stored for trade with the Soviet Far East Military District in exchange for equipment and material supplies.
At this moment, three horses appeared at the end of the street, galloping all the way, attracting everyone's attention. On the horse in front was Tang Honglei's confidential staff officer Feng Xiaobao, and the two behind were the guards of the division headquarters.
Arriving in front of a group of bosses, the three of them got off their horses. Feng Xiaobao handed Tang Honglei a telegram. Tang Honglei read it in a hurry, suddenly cheered loudly, and then announced that he would return to the headquarters for a meeting.
...
"Let me announce a piece of good news first: The 17th Army of our Anjia Army achieved a decisive victory in the Battle of Langfang this morning, annihilating more than 30,000 Japanese troops in one fell swoop, and causing countless fleeing forces. The balance of strength between the enemy and ourselves in the Pingjin area has changed to a certain extent. Also: Kwantung Army
The 22nd and 23rd *** mixed brigades boarded the ship at Port Arthur yesterday morning and were ordered to enter the customs. The strength of the Kwantung Army in the Northeast has been further reduced!"
As soon as Tang Honglei, who was presiding over the meeting, finished speaking, cheers immediately erupted in the venue. Tang Honglei smiled and watched the officers and soldiers cheering and hugging each other. After a while, everyone calmed down before continuing:
"Now we have to think about our actions. During this period, the reason why the Kwantung Army has been using Mudanjiang piecemeal to make a fuss, and even the planes are not willing to drop bombs on our heads, based on the intelligence analysis of the Soviet Far East Red Army and us,
It’s just a rat-proof weapon:
"First, they need to continue to invest more troops in North China and do not want to be distracted in the north; second, they are worried about the reaction of the Soviet Union and the Far East Military Region, and are worried that the north and south will start a war at the same time, so they are holding back. We are now in a very difficult situation.
At the critical time, should we take this opportunity to consolidate the existing territory and continue to reorganize the troops? Or should we attack decisively and continue to spread the flames of war to the entire Sanjiang Plain to gain greater strategic room for maneuver?"
After Tang Honglei finished talking about the topic, his eyes passed over the faces of a group of fierce men under his command.
"I think the war in the pass will continue to expand! Since the Sino-Japanese War of 1898-1894, every adventure has yielded unexpected gains, but this time we lost our troops and lost our face. This is like a loser who is jealous of losing.
Gamblers will definitely spend all their money to try to recover their losses. Therefore, the victory of Langfang will not push Japan back to the track of peace. The Japanese base camp and the Kwantung Army will definitely invest more troops in the Pingjin area.
"Before departure, the commander once told us that once the domestic war becomes urgent, we must do everything we can to cause destruction behind enemy lines. Even if we cannot achieve any big results, we must disgust the Japanese to distract them from other things! Just
For this reason, we cannot just focus on developing ourselves
.Besides, we are not really safe now. Aren’t the Mudanjiang side undergoing the baptism of artillery fire every day? Once the Japanese army achieves a staged victory in North China, the Kwantung Army can completely free up its hands and withdraw its army to launch a more violent attack on us.
Attack!" Jining Mayor An Mingqi analyzed.
"However, the reorganization of our troops has not yet been completed. Many soldiers have just learned to shoot guns. Some of the fundamental combat skills are not known. If they are used to defend, they are still together. However
The painful situation of snake bite? "
Liu Yunqi, the third brigade commander of the staff, proposed his own concerns.
Chang An Chunlu, the second brigade, disagreed: "What are you afraid of? Which recruit egg is not a person who has hit one or twenty bullets now? Put it to other domestic troops, so even if we are a veteran! Although we have this so on.
That kind of problem, but the Kanto Army's life may not be better. The Kanto Army claims that there are 600,000 troops, but excluded its newly compiled *** brigade, local defensive troops, and pseudo -puppets.
How much did they have invested in the Guan? Most of the first division and the seventh division, two united teams in the second division, the other 21, twenty -three, and the division of the 23rd.
The regiment also took out a one to join Chahar to send troops, and the 109th division of the Kanto Army sequence has all been transferred to Pingjin.
Regiment, they need to defend the Northeast and the Soviet Far East, Lake Baikal and thousands of kilometers of Mongolia, and the troops are fundamentally deployed. At this time, we can take the initiative to attack.
The war to support! "
"The combat effectiveness of the Kanto Army *** Brigade is still okay. Do not lightly enemy. There are two kinds of brigade compilation in ***, one is a mixed brigade, and the Japanese base camp directly under the Japanese army.
The word ** is compiled by the Kanto Army, but the selected soldiers are still retired veterans who have received strict military training in China. The combat effectiveness is not weak. Now, there are about ten*
** The brigade enters North China to fight. Although there are not many staying in the Northeast, the threat to us is still very great. If we are empty, the Japanese army suddenly cross the Mudan River and attack eastward, how can we resist it? "
Tang Honglei asked with a smile.
"The rear? There is no rear saying at all! In fact, when entering the Northeast battle, it was originally that there was no rear support, and there was no logistics supply to fight behind. Now the reason why I give us an illusion is that there is a base that can be developed slowly because it can be developed slowly.
The attitude of the Soviet Far East Military Region and the illusion brought by the silence of *** people. I don't say anything else, so I will take the twelfth division of the Kanto Army in the front line of the Aidi and Heihe as an example.
Twelve, twenty -four main brigades under the jurisdiction, coupled with the second team of heavy artillery and the fourth fourth union, the first wing of the tank, the Twelve Cavalry Twelve Union, etc., if they are along the railway
After the cover of Harbin to Mudan River, it was decided to cross the river with the cover of the aircraft cannon, and then rushed Zhi Ning. We may not be able to block the enemy's offense.
"The reason why there is a front -line enemy and me confrontation in Mudanjiang is because the people still don't know the intentions of the Soviet Union and the Far East Military Region, so take a static method to solve the North China issue before dealing with it.
It is necessary to put down all the burdens, take a decisive attack, and use the great opportunity of the Middle East railway to be cut off. In one fell swoop, occupying the Mudanjiang River, north of Changbai Mountain, and the vast area south of Songhua River, relying on the Soviet coast, establish a large number of anti -Japanese bases. "
Speaking firmly.
The meeting room talked about for a while, and they agreed to the opinions of An Mingqi and Zhang Jie.
When Tang Honglei saw this, he stood up decisively and said, "Okay, in this case, let's do it, do not give the Kanto Army for any breathing time. In the surrounding area of our Jining, although we cut off the Middle East railway in one fell swoop, the situation is still the situation.
Not to be optimistic, such as Jiamusi, Hulin and surrounding counties in the north, and more than ten towns and more than ten towns in the cities east of Muming Town in the south.
In the fifteenth year of the Republic of China, the city was set up separately due to its status as a border port. After the occupation of ***, it quickly transformed it into a fighting fort on the border line.
And centered on the area, building a Yonggu national defense system in the north and south. Although it has not been completed yet and the subsequent troops have not been checked, there are still several Japanese defense teams and a *** defenders.
It is a hard bone that is difficult to bite. If the Japanese troops in the front line of Mudan River launched the battle of crossing the river, these Japanese troops surrounding me suddenly assembled and attacked my back.
"However, we have to despise the enemy strategically, but in terms of specific tactics, we must pay attention to our opponents. Most of the counties around us generally have only one brigade or even the Japanese army of the squadron.
With a certain number of puppet troops, we used to use special operations to obtain the control of Jining and surrounding areas in camouflage, night attack, ambush, poison, etc.
Give us similar opportunities, what we face will be a bloody battle, which will test the on -site command ability of these commanders. I hope you can reasonably you can learn what you have learned in the non -commissioned officer school, reasonably
Use it in actual combat!
"Okay, now I order: Today, the third brigade of the Mudanjiang line is rotated, and continues to maintain alertness and deterrence against the Japanese army on the other side.
With the Middle East Railway, I have been hitting me in Suifenhe. No matter what the way I use, we must take me down the two towns of Suifenhe to completely open up railway traffic with the Soviet Union. After that, the Soviets assist our materials, and we can supplement the railway.
On the other side, along the Mudanjiang, he has been south to the south, hitting the old camp bubbles and catfish, occupying the dream of building defensive work, and completely cutting off the north and south of the Kanto army in Jilin.
, Attacking Tiger Forest all the way; the task of teaching the team is very heavy. After capturing Mu Emperor, you will go south to support Suifenhe City, so I will allocate the artillery regiment directly under the division to you.
"Everyone, we have the advantages of the artillery and fire power suppression of train transporters and armored trains, coupled with concentrated troops, with no intention of mind, the defense of those small towns is not feared at all.
Give me a few hard bones along the railway, and you can develop in depth, so as to hold the Sanjiang Plain firmly in our hands! At that time, we will implement a new land policy and policy program in accordance with the samples of Sichuan, and strive to strive to strive to strive
Operate the Sanjiang Plain into a base for our consolidation. "
All the brigade commanders were in high spirits. Carrying out such a large-scale march and battle on a land with a radius of 100,000 square kilometers and such a generous effort made everyone feel excited.
Tang Honglei continued: "Commander An once promised in his reply: How we develop in the Northeast will be directly related to the positioning of our unit. Therefore, after this battle, I hope everyone can seize every opportunity to expand the team.
If there is a division, I will give you the organization of a division; if there is an army, I will not hesitate to give you this hat on my head, do you understand?"
"yes!"
After answering neatly, the venue burst into warm laughter.
