While the Chinese army is rapidly adjusting and responding actively, the Japanese army has not stopped its aggression and expansion for a moment. The draft of the distribution adjustment of China's 280,000 troops has just been formed and has not yet been approved by all. The Japanese army has learned about it through various means and channels.
The details.
In response to the deployment of the Chinese army, the Japanese army quickly adjusted its troop allocation. The original plan of dividing the troops into three routes to go south was changed to a more flexible and pragmatic plan of three routes: north, middle and south: the south route attacked the east line of the Great Wall to
Lingnan front line; the middle line ran from east to west, attacking Rehe; the northern line greatly increased its troops, using the already occupied Tongliao as a springboard, quickly advanced to the Chifeng area, and finally occupied Guisui (Hohhot), and attacked Shanxi with the Japanese army in the middle line.
The Chinese army knew nothing about the substantial strategic adjustments of the Japanese army, but the Japanese army knew the details of the deployment of the Chinese army. Originally, there were huge differences between the two sides in terms of weapons and equipment, technical level, army delivery, officer and soldier training, and logistical support.
The gap, and now coupled with the gap in military intelligence, the passively defensive Chinese army is in an even more difficult situation.
In fact, as early as mid-December last year, An Yi took the lead in proposing the operational thinking of "active defense" and he followed this principle and went all out.
An Yi's idea is: based on the current backward equipment of our army and the huge gap in the tactical quality of our officers and soldiers, we should adopt passive regional coordinated defense and block the Japanese army's advance through strictly defensive positional warfare, so as to maximize the entire line of defense.
Hundreds of kilometers of defense lines are connected into a whole, maximizing the consumption of Japanese troops' lives.
Strength is far from enough. On the basis of focusing on defense, all armies should take advantage of our army's familiarity with the terrain to win the support of the people, take the initiative to attack at the scale of regiments and battalions, and seize opportunities to attack the Japanese army during the movement, so as to achieve the goal of attacking the enemy's effective strength.
Disrupt the enemy's troop deployment and attack plan, and ultimately achieve the goal of completing the overall defense.
However, few people agreed with An Yi's opinion. Chairman Chiang Kai-shek and the Central Military Commission did not respond after receiving An Yi's suggestion report. Some high-ranking generals even scorned it, thinking that they were well-trained and
, in the face of the powerful Japanese army, An Yi's so-called proactive attack is tantamount to sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth. It is only wise to take strict defense, consume the Japanese manpower and material resources, and finally achieve the purpose of retreating the enemy.
After An Yi achieved victory after victory that shocked the country and inspired the people through the practice of three divisions, various discordant voices sounded again: If my army also has as advanced and powerful equipment as the Anjia Army, I can also
Return from Guan after a few victorious battles... It is okay to let the headquarters out of Guan, but it must be distributed with weapons and equipment of the same level as An's army and given the same military pay as An's army, otherwise there is no need to discuss anything...
It was precisely because of these reasons that An Yi, who was anxious but helpless, had to give up the idea of persuading the generals to take the initiative.
After much deliberation, An Yi was unwilling to give up. In a fit of anger, he slightly deleted and revised the report of more than 5,000 words, and once again sent someone to give it to He Jing under the pseudonym of "Yi An", and published it in the famous "Eastern Outlook" magazine.
.
After the publication of the magazine, it attracted great attention from military attachés and military observers from various countries stationed in China. Various comments on military strategic thinking in the Sino-Japanese War came out one after another, and the response was extremely strong. An Yi's article was quickly reprinted in publications in Europe and the United States.
, and when the head of the advisory group, Mr. Weitzel, hurriedly approached Chairman Chiang with a magazine for discussion, Chairman Chiang
Embarrassed, he told him: The author was none other than An Yi, the commander-in-chief of the North China Front. Because the armies were far behind the several divisions commanded by An Yi in terms of equipment and training, coupled with the long-term awe and fear of the Japanese army,
Almost no general supported An Yi's opinion, so the Military Commission could not force the armies to take the initiative like An Yi's army did.
Weiszel was a very shrewd and far-sighted military strategist. He only said one sentence and left Chairman Chiang speechless and lamenting frequently. In the end, Weiszel could only sigh to the sky and leave in melancholy. Weiszel
This passage is: Analyzed from all aspects, the Red Army is no better compared to the Central Army than the Chinese army is to the Japanese army.
The team is much better, or even worse, because the Central Army has a great advantage in numbers, but the strategies and tactics adopted by the Red Army in previous counter-encirclement and suppression campaigns are very similar to General An's ideas, not to mention that General An has used each of his brilliant achievements to
, which fully proves his correctness, why can’t everyone treat it rationally?
An Yi did not choose to give up because his opinions were not recognized. On the contrary, he was more cautious and proactive in seeking effective ways to eliminate the effective forces of the Japanese army. While organizing the staff team to conduct repeated discussions and carefully summarizing, he fully mobilized all levels of
On the premise of not violating the pre-war established principles and regulations on the use of troops, An Yi allows each department to formulate combat plans according to their own ideas and methods. Once approved, they will immediately delegate authority and give commanders at all levels the greatest initiative.
and logistical support.
Therefore, the 44th Division Special Forces Brigade under Gu Changfeng took the initiative to attack. This time their target was not the Japanese army, but to obtain the Japanese army's priority in equipping them with the same weapons as the Japanese cavalry. From training to management, they strictly followed
The ace unit of the Puppet Manchukuo that carried out various drills and orders of the Japanese army - the 1st Cavalry Regiment of the Fengtian Guards.
The direct leader of this well-equipped cavalry with more than 50 Japanese military advisers was Yu Zhi, a former general of the Northeast Army who later defected to the Japanese and became the Deputy Minister of Military and Political Affairs of the Puppet Manchuria and the Commander of the Fengtian Garrison Army.
Mountain.
In the Bodhisattva Temple under the wind and snow, the lights are bright and the charcoal fire is blazing. This vast temple located on the riverside has now become the headquarters of Gu Changfeng and Yang Jiuxiao. The flags above the flags erected high in front of the temple
The radio antenna is condensed with crystal snowflakes, and the east and west side halls of the main hall become radio stations.
In the interrogation room and the staff room, a newly produced topographic map of western Liaoning was spread on two large square tables used for sacrifice. Yang Jiuxiao, Tong Zhiqiang, Ni Xianrong, Liang Zhenyu and other generals surrounded Gu Changfeng, paying close attention to the intelligence staff on the map.
Mark the marching position and surrounding conditions of the special forces brigade.
The Bodhisattva Temple is located 25 kilometers east of due south of Lingyuan, 30 kilometers away from Kalaqin in the northeast, and 43 kilometers away from Jianchang occupied by the Japanese army in the south. It is very convenient to attack enemies from any direction, especially
A large army had been stationed in Karaqin, and the soldiers were already very familiar with the terrain, landforms, customs and customs of this area. At this time, they suddenly and silently made a counterattack, and their confidence and desire to fight were particularly strong.
"We arrived at Lamagou twenty minutes later than expected. It seems that these 19 kilometers are difficult to walk!" Chief of Staff Liang Zhenyu looked at the map and shook his head.
Ni Zhiqiang raised his head in annoyance: "Isn't that right? I guess we met that bitch cavalry patrol of Guo Haiqing again, otherwise there would be no need to walk for more than four hours on this road? Those grandsons who betrayed their ancestors and didn't have assholes are really
He's a black-hearted man. He's more interested in working for little Japan than when he was a errand in our Northeastern Army. The two regiments stationed at Toudao Yingzi in Jianchang are just as bad as his mother. They've been working hard for us in the past half month.
We were wandering around. If Brother Qi Xiuping hadn't been annoyed and sent seventeen of his snipers to lay in ambush in the snow for a day and night, and finally killed the 24-man search team of the puppet cavalry brigade, our company would probably be hiding somewhere.
All gone. Fortunately, the weather is so bad that planes can’t go up to the sky. Otherwise, the whereabouts of our large army will be exposed, and they will be bombed indiscriminately by dozens of Japanese planes. Damn it..."
Gu Changfeng grinned. He knew the pain and anger in the hearts of Ni Zhiqiang, Yang Jiuxiao and other brothers of the Second Division. They had been fighting side by side for many days, and they had formed a deep friendship with each other. Their understanding of each other was increasing day by day, and they were like brothers. In addition,
Gu Changfeng has a casual personality, so he is very adaptable to the vulgar language of the Duer Master brothers, and occasionally makes a few dirty jokes to enjoy the misery.
Gu Changfeng understood how Yang Jiuxiao and Ni Zhiqiang and other brothers of the Second Division were feeling at this moment. After all, it was uncomfortable to be searched for days in the ice and snow by the original cavalry brothers and the traitors and puppet troops who were now incompatible with each other. What was even more infuriating and helpless was that,
This group of cavalrymen who are willing to be the lackeys of the Japanese army are very powerful. Each of them has superb riding skills. They come and go like the wind. When encountering the reconnaissance troops of the headquarters, they can fight with all their strength.
Then retreat, rely on the speed of the horse, stop when they run out of the shooting range, take out the binoculars and observe slowly, usually not long after their own patrol breaks away from contact, these cavalry dare to follow behind and monitor from a distance. Two of them actually
After beating the investigation team of the Du Er Division until only one or two people escaped and escaped, why not let Yang Jiuxiao, Ni Zhiqiang and the brothers of the Du Er Division, which are all composed of children from the Northeast, gnash their teeth?
This time, taking advantage of Lu Yixuan, Yan Yaohuan led 20,000 brothers to withdraw into the pass, creating the illusion that the army had left. Gu Changfeng, Yang Jiuxiao and others led four selected regiments of 10,000 elites to quietly go north, hiding day and night.
In the ice sky
After four days and four nights of wandering in the snow, I finally managed to reach the Bodhisattva Temple in a remote mountainous area between Lingyuan and Kalaqin, in order to clean up this traitorous cavalry unit and act as a deterrent.
.
After everyone discussed for a while, Gu Changfeng turned to ask Lu Yanqing, the brigade commander who led the main force of the Duer Division: "Yanqing, are your brothers ready?"
"We are all ready. We are all lurking in the homes of the folks in Niejiagou, five kilometers away from the Sancha intersection. We will just wait for the brothers from the special brigade to return from the attack. We will put on the original messy clothes, fire a round of guns and run away. But...
...I am worried that the Yamazaki Brigade in Taohuachi, five kilometers south, will not pursue me." Lu Yanqing frowned slightly and expressed his worries.
Gu Changfeng laughed: "No problem, if the enemy doesn't pursue us, forget it. Our three main regiments will retreat to Kuancheng. It's no big deal. There will be many battles to come. Anyway, the special brigade has now entered Tongdingsi Town in the north.
At daybreak, we can kill at least half of Guo Haiqing's regiment and snatch back a hundred horses. However, I judge that Little Japan will chase them out.
Come on, let's sneak into their hinterland and give them a good beating. How can little Japan swallow this bad breath? Now Jianping and Lingyuan are under the guns of the Japanese Eighth Division. They were beaten up by us last time.
The Sixth Division is staying in Jianchang and Kalaqin. He is full of resentment and has no way to vent it. If we give him another slap in the face, can he not become furious?"
Yang Jiuxiao agreed: "Little Japan will definitely come after me, but I'm always worried that brother Qi has cut off all the phone lines, and the Japanese troops at Tongding Temple in the south don't know that they will be attacked by us."
"It's okay, the communications section chief went with Lao Qi. He knows what to do to lure the Japanese troops out." Liang Zhenyu said with a smile.
After everyone heard this, they no longer had any objections. Gu Changfeng looked at his watch and decisively gave the order: The remaining two regiments should get up and eat immediately, fill their stomachs and set off to set up an ambush immediately!
