After entering mid-August, there were continuous heavy rains in the Northeast. The Songhua River, Liaohe River and their tributaries surged, floods occurred, and the roads were muddy. This brought big trouble to the advancement of the Anjia Army's mechanized troops. Latest Chapter of the Holy Church.com
The Japanese army took this opportunity to intensify their retreat. The railways and roads were all densely packed with defeated troops.
By the end of September, the Japanese troops on the northern front were fighting and retreating. The main force had retreated through Suifenhe, leaving some troops to block. Most of the Japanese troops in the central region had retreated to North Korea. Some of the Japanese troops in the south had retreated to North Korea through the Yalu River, and some had withdrawn to North Korea.
From Liaonan, board the ship at Dalian, Lushun and other ports and ship to the Japanese archipelago.
Against the background of the hurried retreat of the Japanese army, the Anjia army's advance turned into a march, with various departments competing to see who could occupy more space and achieve greater results.
On August 14, the First Route Army easily defeated the Songhua River defense line held by only two to three thousand Japanese troops and more than 10,000 puppet troops, and successfully regained Harbin, the largest city in the northern part of Northeast China. On this day, the Second Route Army's right wing captured the South Manchuria Railway.
Changtu, a city along the line, and the left wing occupied Zhangwu, a railway city on the Dazheng line; the Third Route Army successfully captured Jianping, cut off the Jingu Railway, and threatened Chaoyang.
On August 15, the engineering troops of the First Route Army urgently repaired the damaged Harbin Songhua River Bridge on the China-East Railway and laid ten pontoon bridges on the Songhua River.
That afternoon, the First Army left two divisions to prevent the Japanese counterattack and at the same time to welcome the reserve corps. The main force was divided into two groups. The left wing went directly south to Changchun via the South Manchuria Railway, and the right wing advanced to Rafah via the Rabin Railway. Within a few days, along the way
All counties and towns fell under the control of Anjiajun.
On August 16, the Anjia Army's Second Route Army, the main right wing, braved heavy rain and captured Kaiyuan City, while the left wing occupied Xinlitun; the Third Route Army captured Chaoyang, and the Fourth Route Army's eastward-moving Seventh Group Army advanced at most.
Duolun, and successfully joined forces with the rear troops of the Third Route Army. The continuously marching Seventh Army replenished fuel in Duolun, rested for a night, and headed south early the next morning, directly entering Chengde and occupying the capital of Jehol Province four days later. Due to the peaceful situation at this time
The Hot Railway has been opened to traffic, and the Fourth Route Army has actually threatened North China and Pingjin from the northwest and northeast.
On August 17, An Yi, who rushed to Harbin urgently, replaced Hu Jialin, who had returned to Kulun to participate in diplomatic negotiations in his place. He personally led the Fifth Route Army, composed of reserve corps, and began to advance eastward along the Middle East Railway. As the main force, the Tenth Route Army
The 11th, 20th, and 23rd Group armies successively recaptured Acheng and Zhuhe within one day, and the 12th Group Army moved forward along the Songhua River to recapture Fiketu and Bin County.
On the same day, the right wing of the Second Route Army of the Anjia Army occupied Tieling in heavy rain, the forward approached Xinchengzi, and the left wing occupied Xinmin. Both armies were only one step away from Shenyang.
On August 18, the main force of the First Route Army successively occupied Shuangcheng, Stone City, Dehui, Wuhai and other cities, advanced to Changchun, and joined forces with the rear troops of the Second Route Army. Then according to the scheduled plan, they marched eastward along the railway to Yongji (
Today's Jilin City), then turned around and headed south along the Jihai Railway and Shenhai Railway. The main purpose was to capture Shuanghe, Panshi, Huibei (Hailong), Meihekou, Tonghua, Baishan, Fushun and other cities. The main force headed south to Shenyang.
Move the division eastward to capture Ji'an, Linjiang and other places on the Sino-North Korean border to prepare for the next stage of fighting in North Korea;
On August 19, An Yi led the main force of the Fifth Route Army to occupy Mudanjiang, and then detached the 23rd Army and went south to attack the cities along the Tujia Railway, connecting several battlefields together. The 12th Army, which was a partial division, successfully recovered. Fangzheng County and Tonghe County; the Third Route Army recaptured Jinzhou, and the remnants of the Japanese army retreated wildly to Huludao. Li Jinlong ordered Lieutenant General Luo Yi, commander of the 22nd Army, to lead his troops to follow up and pursue Huludao the next day. Shengtang.com
On August 21, a total of six armies on the left and right wings of the Second Route Army successfully met at Huanggutun in the northwest of Shenyang City. After a brief preparation, they launched a general attack on Shenyang City the next morning. At this time, the Japanese troops in Shenyang City The evacuation was complete, and the remaining Japanese troops responsible for maintaining order did not put up a stubborn resistance, but strangely chose to surrender again. By now, Shenyang, the most important city in Northeast China, had fallen under the control of the Anjia Army.
On August 23, after replenishing fuel in Mudanjiang, An Yi personally led the Fifth Route Army to launch an operation to forcibly cross Mudanjiang. At this time, due to heavy rain for many days, the water in Mudanjiang surged. The Japanese army blew up the Mudanjiang Bridge when they retreated, and relied on The Jiangdong defense line opened fire fiercely. The Anjiajun air force took off in the rain to join the battle, suppressing the Japanese firepower. After half a day of fierce fighting, the 60th Division under the command of fierce general Lu Xiong successfully broke through the Japanese Jiangdong defense and occupied a stronghold on the right bank.
Subsequently, the breakthrough point slowly expanded from this stronghold. After a day and night of continuous fighting, more than 20,000 Japanese troops were wiped out, and an important passage to the Sanjiang Plain was successfully opened.
On August 25th, the shops in Shenyang city resumed business, and the factories in surrounding areas resumed operations. Everything was on track. That afternoon, the main forces of the First Route Army, the Second Route Army, and the Third Route Army met in Shenyang, and the army assembled two days later , the troops were divided into three groups. One group was commanded by Gu Changfeng, heading south from the Nanman-Manchuria Railway to attack the Liaodong Peninsula. The other group was commanded by Li Jinlong, heading east along the Anshen Railway, attacking Benxi, Fengcheng, Dong'an and other cities, and advancing to the banks of the Yalu River. Ye Cheng led the remaining troops to attack Shanhaiguan from the west and intimidate the pass from the east to gain more bargaining chips for the ongoing peace negotiations in Kulun.
Since southern Liaoning was an industrial center operated by the Japanese army for many years, in order to ensure that every area was taken over intact, the Anjia army's marching speed was greatly slowed down. It was not until mid-September that the weather completely improved before they captured Dalian and Lushun on the Jinzhou Peninsula. At this time The Japanese army has basically completed its retreat.
On September 12, after the Anjia Army occupied Port Arthur, which had been deserted by ships, Lieutenant Colonel Kinoshita Tawen, the deputy section chief of strategy and tactics of the Japanese Army General Staff Headquarters who came with the secret mission of the Japanese base camp, took the initiative to show up and asked to see the Anjia Army commander. , upon hearing that this Anjiajun agent, who claimed to be a graduate of the intelligence major of Southwest Government College in 1933, and who had infiltrated into the Japanese base camp under a clever arrangement, had brought important intelligence, the officers and soldiers did not dare to neglect and immediately took him to Gu Changfeng is here.
Gu Changfeng questioned him carefully and called Du Yi to verify his identity before sending a special plane to An Yi, who had moved his headquarters to Muling. "".com.
...
August seemed to have drained all the rain. In September, the weather became increasingly sunny, and the temperature skyrocketed after the middle of the year. By now, it was like midsummer in all parts of the Northeast, and every officer and soldier working under the sun was sweating profusely.
In Maqiaohe Town, east of Muling County, in an open space outside a jungle covered with dead branches and leaves, An Yi, wearing an ordinary military uniform, folded his hands on his chest and looked at the few hundred meters in front of him with a serious face.
There is a large empty space outside.
At this moment, in the pitted empty field, hundreds of Anjia officers and soldiers were busy collecting the mutilated corpses, transporting them to the rear by trucks, throwing them into large pits, spreading them with gasoline, and incineration, and then filled them with soil.
In the dense hilly forest three or four kilometers away to An Yi's right, sparse gunfire could be heard from time to time - it was An's officers and soldiers who were clearing away Japanese troops who had fled into the mountains and woods. Such actions
It has been going on for more than half a month, and there are still fish that slip through the net from time to time.
After crossing the Mudanjiang River, An Yi sent Lu Xiong to lead the 20th Group Army northward to seize Wanda Mountain and important cities in the Sanjiang Plain area. At this time, Wang Yulin had led the 12th Group Army to capture Yilan and was marching towards Jiamusi. Once Jiamusi was captured
, the Twelfth Group Army can rely on the railways and roads built by the Japanese army to speed up the advance, bring the areas on both sides of the Songhua River under control as soon as possible, and work with the Twentieth Group Army to advance the front to Heilongjiang and the Ussuri River, directly threatening the areas occupied by the Japanese army.
Safety on the Ussuri Railway.
An Yi personally led the 10th and 11th Group Armies, as well as the directly affiliated troops, to attack eastward along the Middle East Railway. In order to delay the Anjia Army's attack, the Japanese army laid mines along the railways and highways leading to Suifenhe, which caused great harm to the attack.
Huge trouble.
At the beginning, the generals of the 10th and 11th Group Armies and the following divisions sent professional engineers to clear mines, but the progress was slow. You must know that mine clearance is a very dangerous job. The Japanese army was worried that the minefields would be quickly destroyed by Anjia Army's artillery fire, so they buried mines.
The landmines are very dense, and the silt and fallen leaves washed down from the mountains on both sides after heavy rains thickly cover the ground, making mine clearing extremely difficult.
As for not using simple and effective demining methods such as shelling, cloud bombs and high-temperature combustion, An Yi believes that the weather has cleared up, the air is dry, and the minefield is near the dense jungle where the Wanda Mountains and Changbai Mountains meet. Once a large-scale demining operation is carried out,
Shelling, or using demining methods such as cloud explosive bombs and high-temperature combustion have a high probability of triggering forest fires. Once they spread, they will not only hinder the troops' advance, but also be a huge disaster for the people in the Northeast. Many people
People who depend on the jungle may go hungry.
Demining was not easy. Because the Anjia Army was chasing too fast, many Japanese troops fled into the uninhabited jungle. Relying on the high mountains and dense forests to easily hide, they bravely fought against trapped animals without fear of death. As the demining work began,
On the first day, a Japanese army lurking in the dense forest broke out and suddenly attacked an engineering unit that was clearing mines, causing more than 20 casualties among officers and soldiers.
This incident made An Yi very angry, and he immediately ordered the dispatch of special forces to intensify the attack on the Japanese troops hiding in the mountains and forests on both sides, and would never allow a similar situation to happen again. Just when An Yi was thinking about how to deal with the Japanese's dense mine array
At this time, the people below took action first.
Zong Xingzhen, the commander of the Tenth Group Army, was a fierce man in the Anjia Army's special brigade during the 1980s. When he saw the demining failure, he immediately rushed to the prisoner-of-war camp and escorted more than 5,000 Japanese soldiers captured in Harbin and Mudanjiang.
Arriving around the minefield, under the pressure of machine guns and bayonets, they began to use "rolling mines" to clear the mines.
The so-called "rolling mine" means that a person lies on the ground and rolls over a dense minefield like a car, thereby detonating the landmines on the way. When a person rolls at high speed, there is a certain chance that he can avoid the explosion of the mines.
The damage caused, so "rolling thunder" can be regarded as an effective method of demining. Of course, as the speed slows down, the chance of death will become higher and higher, and the possibility of surviving is very small. Of course, it is not impossible.
This scene is often seen in the main theme movies to show the fearless revolutionary spirit.
However, it would not be very pleasant to be forced to "roll thunder" at gunpoint. How could the Japanese obediently obey, knowing that they would die? It immediately caused a huge commotion.
Zong Xingzhen saw that forcibly assigning "rolling thunder" would not work, so he played a little trick. He randomly designated a prisoner and asked him to choose whether to roll thunder by himself or designate two people to roll thunder. One of the two designated people would roll thunder on his behalf.
Another person continues to engage in this "fun" roll call. If he does not choose within ten seconds, then this person will be shot on the spot.
This "fun" little game quickly disintegrated the unity and resistance of the prisoners. After the first few guys were shot rather than surrender and refused to make a choice, someone finally gave in and appointed two people with whom he had a bad relationship to replace him.
Later, this behavior was imitated by the group. The Japs who were lucky enough to get the "right to name" continued to choose scapegoats among their former comrades. The unfortunate guys rolled into the minefield with unwillingness and hatred. Many people survived.
Since then, the unity of the Japanese prisoners has been in name only, and everyone is full of vigilance and suspicion of their partners around them.
From Mudanjiang to Muling, this "interesting" game has been going on for a week, and more than 3,000 Japanese have died so far. Although An Yi thinks this method is cruel, the targets are young people whose hands are stained with Chinese blood.
The Japanese acquiesced in this method of demining.
An Yi put down the telescope and said to Zong Xingzhen and Zhang Zuying who were following him:
"Xingzhen, Zu Ying, at this time Han Chengfu's 23rd Army has captured Wangqing and will soon join forces with the 3rd Army heading east from Changchun in Yanji; Lu Xiong's 20th Army has also captured
Move into Linkou and Jining, and join forces with Wang Yulin's 12th Group Army in Boli, which marches eastward along the Songhua River to occupy Jiamusi, Huachuan, and Fujin. Concentrating the power of the two group armies in the north, I believe that it will not be long before they can approach the Wusuli River.
Threaten the Japanese railway lines in the Far East.
"Now our two armies, which are the main force in attacking the enemy, are still dilly-dallying here. I'm worried that the whole army will see our joke... I, the commander-in-chief, have no face at all!"
Zong Xingzhen blushed and scratched his head in embarrassment. Zhang Zuying said with a helpless smile: "The Japanese are too sinister. They have laid many mines not only at the bottom of the valley, but also on the mountain ridges on both sides. If you don't pay attention, they will explode. No matter what,
Whether it is for our own sake or for the sake of the people in the future, these landmines must be cleared in one go, no matter what, it cannot be done quickly!
"However, after advancing to this mountainous area, the number of landmines has been significantly reduced. I believe that the progress of mine clearance will be much faster... ***Little Japan, even they themselves must not know what the mines are in this area.
How many thunders!"
At this time, a communications staff officer ran over and sent a message directly to An Yi without saluting.
After An Yi finished reading, he pulled Zong Xingzhen and Zhang Zuying close to him, briefly explained a few words, and then under the protection of Shen Fengdao and more than a dozen guards, he got on the car parked in the middle of the open space and could withstand direct fire from a 57mm cannon at close range. Specially designed armored command vehicle.
After returning to the car, under the tight protection of the armor, Shen Fengdao let out a long breath.
The battlefield is too dangerous. Not to mention the threat of sharpshooters from the Japanese army who may be hiding in the mountains at any time. Even walking is unsafe. No one knows whether there will be mines left in the ground that have been detected many times. If you happen to step on it, An explosion occurs. If this happens, it will be hard for gods to save you.
Therefore, Shen Fengdao gathered all his energy. In addition to asking all communication and security personnel not to salute An Yi, he also repeatedly told An Yi to look at the road that the guards in front of him walked and confirm that it was safe before walking, otherwise he would I won't agree to An Yi being on the front line.
Huang Zhi, Chief of Staff of the Fifth Route Army, said to An Yi:
"The visitor has been sent to the headquarters. After verification by the intelligence department, he is indeed one of our people. Judging from his feedback, he came from Tokyo this time and has a secret mission explained by Ishihara Kanji. He said that everything can only be done to You interview!”
"Now that his identity was revealed, how did he return to China?"
An Yi stroked his chin and said to himself strangely: "Does Little Japan want to seek peace talks through him? But at this time, it is not possible to seek peace. No matter what, Korea and the Far East must be defeated before we can talk about other things. Otherwise it’s all hands-free…”
