Text 327 The decisive battle in Northeast China (1)

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The successful recovery of .wan was not due to this final decisive battle.  From the very beginning, the policy of using submarines to blockade Taiwan, allowing Japan to occupy Taiwan, and stabilizing the life route to the south was greatly frustrated. After that, the Japanese understood a truth, that is, if they cannot steadily strengthen their control over Taiwan,  If China cannot surrender its military power, then Japan will never have a so-called southward security strategy.

    Therefore, the Japanese government has two differences after this. One is to maintain good relations with China, protect existing safe channel interests, and open up new interest space.  This strategy is divided into two types: northward and eastward.  In other words, after the growth and changes in China's national power and military power, especially the several wars between China and Japan, Japan did not benefit at all, and it is not impossible that Japan's national strategy will take a new direction.  matter.

    The other is to strengthen Taiwan¡¯s rule, adopt the strategy of advancing on the continental shelf, contain the rise of China, and comprehensively compete with China for hegemony in East Asia, so that Japan can become, and can only become, the only power in East Asia.  Geopolitics, especially the coexistence of the three major powers in Europe, Britain, France and Germany, has made the Japanese see that Crouching Tiger's collapse will not allow others to sleep soundly.  In addition, Japanese radical hawks have always been the dominant force in Japan, so the relationship between Japan and China was to contain and compete with each other, and was mixed with a series of wars.

    Later, China's guerrilla war in Taiwan, several battles with Japan at sea, and even the later Taiwan landing battle and today's decisive battle in Taiwan, the Northeast War, are not isolated existences, but started many years ago and continue to this day.  The result of the national strategic direction.

    In this competition that lasted for more than ten years, China was completely passive at first, but Hua Fei and the regime under his leadership.  Through a series of multiple continuous strikes and containment in politics, diplomacy, economy, and military, China's several wars have taken advantage of the right time, location and people to take advantage of asymmetric military advantages.  It dealt a heavy blow to and weakened the Japanese army.  As China's national strength continues to grow, the gap between China's industrial strength and Japan's has gradually narrowed. Today, although there are still some gaps between them in some aspects, in terms of overall national strength.  The relationship between China and Japan is no longer as far away as it was at first.

    Therefore, the decisive battle in Taiwan is completely the inevitable result of the Japanese government¡¯s complete abandonment of China¡¯s series of strategic layouts.  However, the decisive battle in Taiwan went so smoothly that many military staff officers in the general headquarters agreed.  Japan's determination in military confrontation has been shaken, and what it needs now is the last straw to crush their confidence.  As long as the decisive battle in the Northeast inflicts heavy damage on the Japanese army in the Northeast, and it does not even need to severely damage the Japanese army, as long as they understand that they have no chance of turning defeat into victory, then the Japanese government will inevitably compromise immediately and take the initiative to send a negotiating team to conduct armistice negotiations.

    Hua Fei also strongly agrees with this point of view. The reason why Shimen's general headquarters is located in the secret underground command center in Sanhe is not only for security reasons, but also to avoid interference from foreign consular ministers and even domestic democrats.

    The need for a quick war is not only because military expenditures for the National Defense Forces are already very tight, but also because if the war drags on, it will not only affect the country's economy, but also cause new waves in the north.  You know, today's National Defense Forces concentrate almost two-thirds of its main forces in the northeast.  The General Staff Committee quickly calculated and formulated a decisive battle plan, and finally advanced the date of the decisive battle by two days, and submitted it to Hua Fei for his personal approval.

    July 5, 1991.  Another 5 days.  The country's first parliamentary election will be held in various parts of the country at different times.  Although Hua Fei will not run for parliament, he is the leader of the Ennahda Party, currently the largest party in China.  Hua Fei must give a campaign speech for the Baath Party and cheer for all the Baath Party members participating in the election.  At that time, no matter how far the decisive battle in Northeast China progressed, he had to show his face and rush to Nanjing, Shanghai, Beijing, Guangdong, Wuhan and other big cities to travel around!  So the decisive battle is moved forward two days.  This is what Hua Fei hopes to see.

    At 8:50 in the morning on the 5th, Britain, France, Italy, the Netherlands and other countries reached an agreement with the Japanese government in Tokyo, Japan, on the peaceful settlement of disputes in Manchuria, and issued a public statement proposing a series of conditions for armistice and troop withdrawal, including compensation for military expenses and compensation for damage to interests.  Waiting for a large amount of compensation, I hope the Chinese government will give a positive response.

    The news reached China.  Nanjing did not respond.  The spokesperson of the Nanjing Foreign Affairs Department simply quoted Li Yue, Senior Counselor of the First Office of the Presidential Office, as saying that the Chinese government would not comment on any opinions drawn from such meetings without the participation of Chinese representatives.

    The spokesperson of the Foreign Affairs Department only quoted part of Li Yue¡¯s words, and Li Yue did not say half of the sentence.  Li Yue's tone was extremely angry at that time, and he almost cursed.  He lost the battle and even surrendered so insincerely.  We are really crazy about wanting to pay compensation. Do we still think that China is the Qing government that asks for and gets everything?  Is it possible to still think that China is a ¡°medium in quantity¡±?With the material resources of the country, the favor of the country, a woman in power?

    "However, although Nanjing did not give any response, the Northeast Army gave Tokyo's statement a strong reply in action.  At noon on the 5th, the Northeast Army began to launch a full-scale decisive offensive against Shenyang.

    The Sixth Army in the Northeast.  After the Thirteenth Army formed the North Route Army, which captured Mudanjiang, the First Route Army fought in Harbin for seven hours before finally capturing Harbin, which had almost no garrison.  After the main force of the other group captured Dunhua, they fought two fierce battles with the Japanese defenders in Jilin and Changchun.  Since most of Japan's main forces are in the south, most of the Japanese troops in Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces are stationed at a ratio of one regiment of Japanese troops and three regiments of Korean puppet troops.  After the start of the Southern War, some troops were transferred from the north, so that the already stretched garrison of the two provinces could only huddle in a limited number of large cities. This is why the coalition forces of the Sixth Army and the Thirteenth Army could  Moving south so quickly, there was little fundamental reason for resistance.

    However, Changchun, Jilin, as an important town in the north, still houses the largest Japanese military force in the Northeast.  Especially the Black Mountains.  In the Gongzhuling area, the Japanese army actually transferred some troops from Liaoning to the north to launch a blocking battle against the National Defense Forces.  Looking at all Japan's battles in the Northeast, I am afraid that only the blocking war launched at Gongzhuling under the disadvantaged environment was remarkable.  The battle at Gu Gongzhuling was fought so tenaciously and so fiercely that the Sixth Army and the Thirteenth Army had probably never encountered it before.

    In the offensive and defensive battle on a hilltop in Gongzhuling alone, both sides invested more than 5,000 troops here. The hilltop, which was not high, was destroyed by as much as half a meter under the repeated bombardment of artillery shells.  The corpses of more than 2,000 people were buried forever in this black soil. Among them, the Sixth and Thirteenth Alliance Army paid the price with the lives of more than 700 soldiers.  This was not only the largest casualty in a single battle since the establishment of the Second Army, but also the most brutal battle since they went abroad.  You must know that even when they helped fight the civil war in Russia, they never encountered such casualties.

    But the Sixth Army.  After all, the Thirteenth Army is also the core force of the National Defense Forces. It has fought many wars in Russia and has been tested and baptized by many wars. In terms of combat effectiveness, it is no worse than these Japanese troops.  The more tragic casualties not only did not destroy the morale of the two armies, but stimulated their bloodiness and wildness. On the contrary, they maximized the potential of the two armies and devoted themselves even more desperately to the battle for Gongzhuling.

    The reason why the National Defense Forces have been victorious in almost all battles over the years has always been hotly discussed at home and abroad, and the conclusions drawn are varied.  Strictly.  Well-trained and well-trained equipment, and constant training and tempering in combat.  Lin knockpublic support and strong morale, etc.  However, among these many reasons, a retired veteran who once won the first-class Iron-Blooded Medal and made countless military exploits said something, but it almost revealed the true meaning that countless people were searching for but could not find.

    Because we are not afraid of death!  These three incredibly simple words, "Don't be afraid of death," almost tell the secret of victory for countless warriors throughout the ages.

    Teachers don¡¯t need to be in a crowd, but those who serve can be direct.  All soldiers are brave, and the dead will win.  One person surrenders his life to fear thousands of others!

    Behind the phrase "not afraid of death", it contains the confidence accumulated by the National Defense Forces through victories over the years, the extremely powerful combat effectiveness of the National Defense Forces, the extremely perfect pension system of the National Defense Forces, and the arduous growth and successful military career philosophy of the National Defense Forces over the years.  The success of quality education.  Not being afraid of death does not mean that you are going to die.  There is only no fear in the heart.  Only those who dare to fight and win can win.  And the winner.  The price of death is always a little smaller.

    The setback did not slow down the Northern Route Army's attack, but instead made it more fierce.  After annihilating the defenders at Gongzhuling and capturing this important area, the Northern Route Army was stationed in Shuangliao, Siping and Liaoyuan for rest and recuperation.  After the order for the general offensive was issued, almost all the national defense forces from the three places came out, aiming directly at Tieling, an important town in northern Liaoning.

    The order received by the Dandong garrison is to station one unit in place to intercept the scattered Japanese troops that may retreat from the direction of Shenyang after the decisive battle, and at the same time prevent the Japanese troops in North Korea from containing support.  The other unit went north to Benxi to cooperate with the army in Dalian.  The garrison that landed from Dalian only completely captured Dalian after a landing battle that was even more intense than the Taiwan landing battle.  Different from the original Taiwan landing battle, the defenders of Dalian did not receive support from the navy when the National Defense Forces almost occupied all the air superiority.  Moreover, the scale of this landing battle cast a net in many places, and ultimately targeted Dalian's tactics. Although the battle was fierce and hard, it was not as tragic as the Battle of Anpingbao in Taiwan.

    After capturing Dalian, the troops marched lightly and simply.  At the fastest speed that the Wei soldiers could achieve, they went all the way north to attack the city.  People protested along the way and their voices rose.  If it were not for the strict discipline of the National Defense Forces, I am afraid that this army would fight more and more.  When the battle reaches Anshan, the support will be the National Defense ForcesThere are as many as 50,000 people working as logistics workers.

    In addition, the 16th Army, who was formerly a member of the Fengjun Army, did their part.  Before Jinzhou, they and the New Gui Army were usually at the rear of the army, specializing in collecting prisoners.  The 19th Army of the New Gui Army is somewhat better, but Cai Feng's influence in the Southern Army cannot be underestimated.  He was the earliest founder of the New Gui Army.  No matter what order was given to them, they still dared to complain at all.  But the Sixteenth Army is different. You must know that in the Northeast, they are the home field and cannot be so protective.  Give all the credit for recovering the Northeast to the First Army.

    The Sixteenth Army has more opinions.  Cai Xun seemed to let them take the back seat more and more.  Although Zhang Xueliang was young, he was not an unintelligent person. He was originally eager to regain his homeland after the First World War in Jinzhou.  He became somewhat sober in an instant.  After the Battle of Jinzhou, the Sixteenth Army finally became stunned and quiet. Not only did they deal with the prisoners very efficiently, they also began to use their advantage as landlords in the Northeast to take full action to assist the main force in moving towards Shenyang.

    The hard work paid off. After the First Army and other main forces successfully occupied Heishan Fort, and the three armies of the West Route Army and the Central Route Army completed the deployment of the arc encirclement from Heishan to Zhuoxin to Zhangwu, the East Route Army Headquarters finally gave the order.  The Sixteenth Army and the Nineteenth Army issued orders, ordering them to attack Panjin, occupy the camp entrance, provide support from the center, and be ready to enter Shenyang City at any time!

    Before the decisive battle, the 300,000 Japanese troops were almost completely surrounded by the National Defense Forces.  Although the Wehrmacht eventually successfully completed the encirclement.  But in addition to the strong strength of the West Road and the South Road, both the North Road and the troops reinforced from the outer Xing'an Mountains.  The troops that landed in Dalian and Dandong from the sea were somewhat weak.  If the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army, or if the Japanese authorities could take a slightly longer-term view, concentrate their forces to seek a breakthrough from a certain direction, break out of the encirclement, withdraw to North Korea, and concentrate on running North Korea.  Although the troops were damaged.  But for Japan, its core strength has not been lost, and it may be possible to make a comeback in the future.

    ¡°However, the Japanese, who have occupied Northeast China for several years, have invested a lot of money in Northeast China.  Whether it is the fertile land in Northeast China or the rich mineral resources here, they are treasures that Japan is unwilling to give up even in its dreams.  After studying previous defeats, the Japanese Army believes that the reason why the Chinese National Defense Forces achieved such great results in the front is.  It was the convenience of their armored tank divisions that completely prevented the Japanese army from exerting its combat effectiveness.

    But the Xinmin area is completely different.  The terrain here is complex and the mountains and rivers are intertwined, which is not suitable for large-scale mobile operations of armored mechanics.  Therefore, it is difficult to fully utilize the advantages of the National Defense Force here.  If we seek a decisive battle here, the most unfavorable thing is that the offensive of the National Defense Force will be severely frustrated. Then even if we negotiate a retreat, Japan will take a certain initiative in the negotiation.  Moreover, although Japan lost nearly 300,000 troops in previous battles.  Of these 300,000 troops, probably two-thirds are North Korean puppet troops.  The real Japanese army only has more than 100,000 soldiers.

    As the war progressed, the Japanese troops in the Northeast shrank their defense lines and quickly concentrated the elite Japanese troops scattered across various places.  Among the 300,000 troops in the entire Shenyang area, the Japanese Army alone has nearly 200,000, and is the core force of Japan's Northeastern Army.

    By shrinking its defense lines, Japan may have lost strategic depth and space for movement.  But judging from their deployment, they do not seem to be seeking a protracted war with the National Defense Forces in the Northeast.  So using complex tactics with great depth is worse than withdrawing all your strength, clenching it into a fist, and giving the enemy a hard blow.

    It is better to destroy a corner of the enemy than to injure the enemy's whole body.  As long as it causes huge damage to the elite troops of the National Defense Forces, there will be no fear that the Chinese will continue the war or that the Chinese will not seek an armistice.

    The Japanese military¡¯s luck mentality.  In other words, they seriously underestimated the power of the armored division.  Or maybe they miscalculated the combat effectiveness of the National Defense Forces. Perhaps it was just a gambler's mentality that they needed to take a gamble even though they knew they couldn't do anything, which caused Japan to suffer a devastating blow.

    The decisive battle began, and the National Defense Forces were uncharacteristically different.  Not only were there no bombers in the sky, there were not even a few fighter jets. Only reconnaissance planes could be seen everywhere, clearly grasping the dynamics of the enemy forces on the battlefield.  The three armies advanced together, giving up their armor advantage, using infantry to enter the Xinmin area, and took the initiative to launch a full-scale offensive against the Japanese troops in Xinmin.

    The decisive battle began, but its ferocity was not only inferior to that of the Eastern Route Army when they entered the border, but it was also not as spectacular as the armored torrent composed of thousands of tanks when they attacked Jinzhou.  The National Defense Forces not only entered the Xinmin area as pure infantry to fight the Japanese army.  He doesn't even carry many heavy weapons.  In the air, only fighter jets carried out auxiliary attacks.

    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that there were still many troops in the Japanese army who had retreated from the front line, they would even doubt whether their opponents were the National Defense Forces.  Isn¡¯t it the sharp-edged army from before?  If it was at Gong 1 Customs, if it was in Jinzhou, if, then where could the Japanese army be so defeated and finally have to seek a decisive battle with the National Defense Forces here?

    It¡¯s just that the Japanese seem to have forgotten.The National Defense Force started out as infantry, relying on rice and machine guns, and fought countless tough battles.  To be honest, this tank battle was their first large-scale actual battle.  Therefore, for these Wehrmacht troops, infantry combat is more suitable to their temperament.

    If it is not confirmed by the Japanese intelligence agency, it is China's decisive offensive. Donggangan Jiping thought it was a tentative attempt to harass the people in the area.  However, the National Defense Forces will never get into a stalemate with the Japanese army here, but will effectively control the rhythm of the war.  As soon as the battle situation became favorable to the Japanese, they quickly retreated, reorganized their forces, and launched the offensive again.  And even if the attack is beneficial to them, they will not take advantage of the victory to pursue it.  Just like stewing soup over a slow fire, not in a hurry, not slowly, slowly and slowly testing each other's endurance and perseverance with the Japanese army!

    Do they want to completely consume us here?  Before the Japanese troops in the Northeast came to their senses, three days later, on July 8, almost all the bomber formations of the National Defense Forces and Air Force suddenly descended into the sky of Shenyang and launched a hysterical and indiscriminate bombing of Shenyang. The whole of Shenyang suddenly became under fire.  , the earth shook.  Even the Japanese troops fighting in the Xinmin area could see clearly.

    Listening to the sound of bombings that seemed to be several times more intensive than Jinzhou, the Japanese veterans who had gone through the disaster and retreated to Shenyang closed their eyes.  A premonition told them that the Japanese army was finished, all 600,000 Japanese troops were finished, and they would all be buried here, and no one could escape.  It turns out that the desire to seek a decisive battle in Xinmin is just wishful thinking!

    Actually at this time.  There are still 100,000 troops stationed in Shenyang, but those who attack Shenyang are nearly 200,000 troops including the First Army, Second Army, Seventh Army, and Sixteenth Army.  It already has an absolute advantage in terms of military strength.

    It turns out that after the First Airborne Division occupied Heishan Fort in an air attack, the other two armies successively concentrated on Zhuoxin and Zhangwu, forming an arc-shaped main attack direction.  This is also the reason why the Japanese finally decided to have a decisive battle in Xinmin.  Even if the Xinmin were defeated, they could still retreat to Shenyang, resist comprehensively, and negotiate again.

    Until the decisive battle of the National Defense Forces began, the Japanese always believed that they still had the possibility of negotiation.  The Chinese just want the land in the Northeast, and the worst is to give it back to them. Is it possible that they will keep them all here at all costs?  This is not something to please the Chinese team.

    For China.  It is indeed not easy to keep 300,000 Japanese troops.  However, the trend of the war made Hua Fei and even some staff members of the Sanhe Underground General Headquarters decide to take the risk and change their strategy, that is, even if the price paid was higher, all the Japanese troops must be left behind without letting go.

    This decision was not only quickly passed within the commander-in-chief, but also received great support from commanders such as Cai Feng on the front line.  After all, at the beginning of the battle, no one expected that the battle would go so smoothly.  The Japanese army was so vulnerable to the armored offensive of the National Defense Forces.

    People understand.  If the 600,000 Kwantung Japanese troops can be wiped out, then the political and military environment for Japan, China, and even East Asia in the next ten years will be immeasurable

    Six hundred thousand troops.  Even if the National Defense Force pays the same price for this, Xiao Huafei must make up his mind to fight this battle.  The loss of 600,000 elites was certainly a painful blow to the National Defense Forces, but the loss was 600,000.  In other words, the loss of 300,000 elite Japanese troops was a devastating blow to Japan.

    China is not on the same level as Japan in terms of resources and population.  The biggest real threat to China at present is the Japanese.  This cannot be changed no matter who or what party comes to power.  This is geopolitics.  This is determined by practical interests.

    Completely weakening the Japanese army's military strength and completing the victory in one small battle is no longer a victory in a war, nor is it the meaning of tactical victory.  Therefore, although Hua Fei deeply regretted the elite direct line ahead, he still gritted his teeth and signed the modified and compressed decisive battle order.

    The ones heading toward Xinmin are the main force of the National Defense Forces, and the ones heading north from the South-Manchuria Railway to Shenyang are the main force of the National Defense Forces' armored divisions.  When the Japanese troops in Xinmin discovered that Shenyang was under attack, they wanted to withdraw to provide assistance, but the National Defense Forces opposite them quickly stepped in and prevented the main Japanese troops in the Xinmin area from slacking off in the slightest.

    And the attacks in the Shenyang area are as ferocious as hungry tigers. They are the elite of the National Defense Forces, and they don't care about losses.  Launch an endless stream of attacks, one after another, without stopping for half a second.

    A tank in front was hit critically by enemy anti-tank fire and burst into flames.  The tank crew in the tank jumped out of the cabin covered in fire.  However, no one among the advancing soldiers stopped, because these people's hearts were open. I don't know how many people could survive this wave of attacks.  It's just death, no need to blink your eyes or feel pity.

    butThe attacking soldiers could not stop, but the medical soldiers threw the tank soldier who was covered in fire to the ground with great skill, then quickly pressed a piece of wet linen cloth on his body and was quickly placed on a stretcher.  Lift to the rear quickly.

    A tank sank into the trench outside the city. Before the hatch cover was opened, the tracks of the tank behind pressed over the body of the tank in front.  Nothing can stop, nothing can slow down the advance of the Wehrmacht armored divisions.  Ignoring the dense rain of bullets, a large number of engineers quickly rushed towards the concrete anti-tank obstacles. Then they used manual sledgehammers to drill holes in the centers of the concrete obstacles and stuff the weapons.

    Boom boom boom!

    Before the exploding debris and dust and smoke dissipated, the majestic figure of the Type 4 tank suddenly rushed out, carrying dust rolled up by its two tracks and black smoke spewed from the exhaust pipe, followed by more  The infantry continued to attack Shenyang City.

    Three hours after the Kou Point general attack began, Shenyang fell into a siege battle that never rested for a second.  Groups of National Defense Force warriors attacked the city walls of Shenyang, only to be repulsed again by the Japanese counterattack.  Then the Wehrmacht took a short break and continued to organize a more ferocious attack.

    Attacked, was repulsed.  After being repulsed, continue the attack!

    In addition to these two rhythms, there seems to be no third rhythm in the entire battlefield.  The Japanese troops in Shenyang seemed to suddenly realize that their hope of peace talks was probably impossible.  The Chinese want to keep them all.

    Once the retreat is cut off.  Hope turned to despair. Like trapped animals, the Japanese army burst out with the madness in their bones. They fought with a fierceness that was no less fierce than that of the National Defense Forces.

    This is a tug of war.  An extremely bloody and brutal tug-of-war.  In the war, under the blade of the chainsaw madman, countless corpses were left behind in and around Shenyang City.  Burnt corpses, broken corpses, torn apart.  No body with a piece of clean skin as big as a palm could be found.

    While the siege of Shenyang became fierce, the battle of Xinmin also became fierce.  The Japanese army deployed a total of nearly 200,000 Japanese troops in the Xinmin area, of which about 70,000 to 80,000 were Korean troops, which was the majority of the remaining Korean troops. It was also the puppet army group with the highest loyalty to Japan among all the Korean troops.

    The National Defense Forces have deployed more than 300,000 troops on the Xinmin Third Front. Although the First Army, known as the ace among trumps, has been transferred to Shenyang, the Xinmin area still has elite direct descendant Third Army, Fourth Army, and Fifth Army deployed in the National Defense Forces.  of elite strength.

    From the moment the decisive battle begins, this is a life-or-death battle.  in a limited geographical environment.  All the tactics and tactics that strategists can use have almost lost their effectiveness. The only thing they can rely on is the number, strength, and willpower of the army.  Whoever can persist until the last moment is the king.  Anyone who cannot persevere will either perish or be seriously injured.
