Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Jinzhou in Western Liaoning, this important city guarding the eastern end of the Western Liaoning Corridor, has always been a battleground for military strategists. It is the only way to connect the inside and outside of the Pass. From here south, you can reach the Great Plains of North China and even penetrate into the hinterland of the Central Plains. In the late Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen  During that time, the Guan Ning cavalry under the command of Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao, relied on the Guan Jinning defense line to prevent the Manchus from invading the hinterland of the Central Plains, and continued the Ming Dynasty for more than ten years.

    "If you want to seize North China, you must first conquer Jinzhou!" On the contrary, "If you want to pacify the outside world, you must station troops in Jinzhou!" It can be seen from this that Jinzhou's important position in the military was that at the beginning, Tang Qiuli did not hesitate to use the troops of two corps.  In the Western Liaoning Corridor area, they fought repeated fierce battles with the Kwantung Army. Both sides had more than one million troops. In the Western Liaoning Corridor and the southeastern area of ????Dongdong, they were killed in darkness. The Kwantung Army was hit repeatedly. Through the Soviet-Japanese Far East War,  The opportunity for the outbreak finally put Jinzhou firmly under his control.

    Shanhaiguan was originally used as the dividing line between the inside and outside the customs, and was pushed forward by hundreds of kilometers. Jinzhou became the bridgehead for the independent division to overlook the hinterland of the Northeast. After the battle for the Western Liaoning Corridor ended, the deputy division commander of the independent division and the east command unit  The commander, Lieutenant General Liu Tiehan, led his more than 400,000 elite soldiers and generals to sit here and intimidate the Kwantung Army from coveting Jinzhou, the land of North China. This has become an eternal pain in the hearts of the Japanese military and political leaders.

    After Liu Tiehan led more than 700,000 troops of the East Command and marched north to the Far East, another strong general of the Independent Division, former Chief of Staff of the Division and current commander of the Niangziguan Garrison, Major General Feng Jiwu, became the independent commander of the Western Liaoning Corridor.  The top commander of the division, the battle for the Western Liaoning Corridor two years ago.  The bloodstains have just been covered up by the dust of the years, and a war that will determine the fate of the Northeast is about to break out here first.

    The sun sets in the west.  Thousands of rays of light shrouded the ancient city. The early summer wind, carrying the salty smell of Liaodong Bay, wandered through the streets and alleys of the city, stirring the rich leaves all over the city and rustling. Although it was on the front line, there was still a lot of noise in Jinzhou City.  Without losing the prosperity.  The shops on both sides of the streets and alleys are busy with business and crowded with people.  The citizens of Jinzhou are spending an ordinary early summer evening.

    A five-story building located in Beiguan, Jinzhou, is where the headquarters of the Niangziguan Garrison Corps is located.  It is different from other buildings in Jinzhou city.  There is a striking red line drawn in front of the gate. A dozen fully armed soldiers stand neatly on both sides of the gate. Of course, as a citizen of Jinzhou, as long as you don't cross that red line, no soldiers will stop you from the front.  passing by on the road.

    The same is true now.  Citizens passing in front of the Niangziguan Garrison Corps headquarters did not feel anything strange.  But what the citizens didn't know was that a large-scale military meeting was being held in a spacious conference room on the top floor of the building. The core topic of the meeting was the pre-war deployment to launch an attack on the Kwantung Army.

    Major General Feng Jiwu, commander of the Niangziguan Garrison Corps, is the natural host of the meeting. On both sides of him, there are several generals sitting. If you look carefully, you can see that this military meeting is not simple. Major General Battelle, commander of the independent division armored force  , Major General Zheng Yong, commander of the artillery of the independent division, and Colonel Dong Ningxuan, chief of staff of the Northern Flying Group of the independent division aviation, were all present, making the weight of this meeting even more extraordinary.

    The remaining senior officers, namely the brigade commanders and brigade chiefs of staff of the Niangziguan Garrison Corps, nearly a hundred people, filled a spacious conference room. What is even stranger is that the director of the Jinzhou Special District of the Independent Division Intelligence Office  Lieutenant Colonel Xu Zihan was also among those attending the meeting. Under normal circumstances, people from the Intelligence Department rarely attended such military meetings.

    Colonel Zhang Hansheng, chief of staff of the Niangziguan Garrison Corps, had just read out the order from the division commander. Feng Jiwu took out his cigarette, lit it, took a deep breath, and the light blue smoke flew away. He said: "Everyone, the order from the division commander,  The order has been read out, and the order requires us to immediately launch an attack on the Kwantung Army troops on the opposite side. However, the division commander did not specify the time for the attack in the order. We can understand it, and it is up to us to decide when to attack! "

    "Everyone, the reason why the division commander issued the order is that the Kwantung Army troops on the opposite side are eager to retreat to Fengtian. According to the intelligence of the reconnaissance force, the Kwantung Army troops on the second and third lines, as well as the baggage troops, are gathering in front of them.  That is to say, the Kwantung Army has begun to move! "

    Having said this, Feng Jiwu paused and looked up at the officers participating in the meeting. His eyes seemed to be looking for something. Then, he fell on a lieutenant colonel and named him: "Director Xu Zihan of the Jinzhou Special District of the Intelligence Department.  Does your intelligence department have any latest information?¡±

    Perhaps due to the inherent habit of intelligence workers, Xu Zihan found an inconspicuous corner to sit down as soon as he entered the conference room. Although the meeting notice issued by the Corps did not explain the content of the meeting, according to custom, Xu Zihan  Or will there be news about Kanto in recent days?I brought the latest information with me. This is also a concrete manifestation of the rigorous work style of the intelligence personnel.

    Hearing Feng Jiwu's order, Xu Zihan stood up and said in an unhurried tone: "Commander Feng, fellow commanders, the intelligence on the Kwantung Army detected by the reconnaissance force is roughly the same as that obtained by our Intelligence Department agents, but in some cases  I can add some details!¡±

    "The Kwantung Army's second line of defense troops from Linghai, Qilihe, Dadingbao and other places began to gather in the above three places. Their logistics troops were also gathered, and some of the Kwantung Army's baggage troops began to move towards Fengtian.  Transfer, part of the Kwantung Army troops on the third line of defense has begun to retreat. "

    "Furthermore, the troops in the Linghe, Xinzhuangzi, and Yingpan areas of the Kwantung Army's first line of defense north of Jinzhou have entered a state of emergency combat readiness. They have begun distributing ammunition, hoarding supplies, blocking all roads, and prohibiting civilians from passing through. The Intelligence Department  This is the information collected, for your reference only!"

    After Xu Zihan finished speaking clearly, he sat down quietly. Feng Jiwu nodded approvingly and said: "The Intelligence Department has done its work carefully. Now, the situation is basically clear. The little Jaap opposite is  We must use the troops on the first line of defense to block our attack, and then cover the retreat of the Kwantung Army troops on the second and third lines of defense, losing soldiers to protect their vehicles. Therefore, the Kwantung Army troops responsible for the covering task will inevitably fight to the end.  !¡±

    "Originally there was no need to hold this military meeting. Previously, the division commander had issued an operational summary of the campaign to regain the Northeast, clarifying the missions and offensive directions of each corps. We just have to follow them. But now the situation has changed. The little devil wants to  If we run away, we have to change our approach to this battle. Everyone, tell me your opinions!¡±

    After he finished speaking, no one in the conference room was in a hurry to speak. Everyone was thinking quietly. Feng Jiwu was not in a hurry. It was just the brigade commanders under him. Those sitting next to him were all experienced  Veterans on the battlefield, ground and air cooperation, and joint assaults of infantry, armor, and artillery, have to consider not only the offensive tactics of their own troops, but also the actual situation of other troops.

    Major General Battelle, the commander of the armored forces, spoke first, "Everyone, in positional assault battles, the armored forces have always taken the lead. My deployment is that the five tank brigades of the armored forces assembled on the Jinzhou front line will be deployed in the three main assault directions, namely  Linghe, Xinzhuangzi, and Yingpan. In Linghe, three tank brigades will be deployed as the main breakthrough points. In Xinzhuangzi and Yingpan, one tank brigade will be deployed as the secondary assault direction! "

    "There is only one reason for such deployment. The terrain conditions from Jinzhou to Linghai are most suitable for large-scale armored group assaults. It is also the direction where the Kwantung Army's front-line defense force is the strongest and densest. Commander Feng, I'm done!"

    As soon as Battelle finished speaking, the brigade commander and brigade chiefs of staff below started whispering among each other. This was all because Commander Battelle's offensive deployment was very unconventional. Generally speaking, the attacking side must quickly break through the enemy.  In military positions, they will choose the direction where the enemy's defensive forces are relatively weak to launch an assault. How can there be such a way of fighting, choosing the enemy's most densely populated attack?

    Feng Jiwu smiled, said nothing, and allowed the brigade commanders to discuss in low voices. He knew the division commander's younger brother very well. Not only did he drink foreign ink in Germany, but he also fought with real swords and guns on the European battlefield.  After fighting hard, he was promoted to the position of major general and commander of the German Armored Assault Division with great military exploits. If we say that when it comes to armored group operations, no one dares to say that he is better than Battelle, not even the division commander. Feng Jiwu believes that Battelle's tactical arrangements will definitely be  It makes sense.

    After everyone's discussion subsided, Feng Jiwu said: "Commander Battle, can you explain the reason why you arranged the armored tactics like this?"

    Battle stood up again and said calmly: "As far as the equipment of the Kwantung Army, the enemy we face, does not have a sufficient number of tanks and anti-tank equipment to offset the advantages of our armored group, from this point of view,  It¡¯s okay to choose that direction as the main assault location, and I chose Linghai as the main breakthrough direction, just to use the superior armored group to give the Kwantung Army the maximum damage and deterrence!¡±

    "The more important point is that most of the Kwantung Army troops trying to block us are concentrated on the Linghai line. Solving this part of the Kwantung Army troops will allow us to continue to advance deeper into the Kwantung Army's defense without any worries, and even maneuver quickly  The armored group and mechanized troops were able to rush in front of the retreating Kwantung Army troops and intercept them. The German armored group used this tactic to be invincible on the European battlefield! "

    Having said this, Battelle smiled. At this time, everyone realized that this commander who controlled thousands of tanks in the independent division was still a big boy. "However, if you want to break through the blockade in the shortest possible time,Our Kwantung Army troops have taken positions and caused a lot of damage to them. We also need the help of Commander Zheng's artillery!  "He looked at Zheng Yong and said.
