Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Since he decided to retreat early, Yang Zhen did not delay at all.  Except for the machines that had not yet had time to unload the trucks, the remaining supplies were shipped as much as they could, and all that could not be taken away were blown up.  Especially the rails that were all scheduled to be taken away were only half loaded at this time.  There was no time to reload, so we had to blow up the whole train station together.

    Although he is somewhat reluctant to part with these rails that can be used as raw materials for military industry, Yang Zhen also knows that he has no choice but to give up when necessary.  Once you are encumbered by these altars and cannot evacuate before the main force of the Japanese Fourth Division rushes back to Jiamusi, you will be the unlucky one.  []

    But even so, the three trains seized at the train station were so full that it was difficult to tow the high-powered locomotives made by Manchuria.  When the evacuation train blew its whistle, violent explosions rang out in Jiamusi City, where the gunfire had gradually subsided.  That was when Dong Ping was commanding his troops to blow up the Japanese barracks and all military facilities in the city, as well as the provincial and municipal government offices of the puppet Manchukuo.

    When the last train carrying troops pulled out of Jiamusi Station, although the Japanese army that had been crippled in the city certainly did not have the courage to come out to pursue it, Yang Zhen concentrated all his artillery fire and hit the last permanent fortifications held by the Japanese army.  .  Use fierce artillery fire to tell the remaining Japanese troops in the city the consequences of pursuing them.

    In fact, Yang Zhen was so cautious because he was overly worried.  At this time, after a fierce battle for most of the day, there was only one squadron of troops left on hand, huddled among the permanent fortifications in the military camp.  If the fortifications were not built too solidly, Kitano Takatsu, who would have been devoured long ago without even the bones and dregs left, not only did not have the courage to pursue him, but he also did not dare to leave the fortifications even after hearing the gunfire in the city completely subsided for a long time.

    It wasn¡¯t until I received the report that the surviving Puppet Manchukuo police opponents had completely evacuated that I dared to cautiously poke my head out.  But before he could step out of the ruined military camp, another violent explosion from the north scared him back.  He was afraid that his opponent would try to kill him again, so he said nothing this time.

    The frightened Kitano Takatsu huddled in the solid fortifications, refusing to take a step.  On the train going north, he was beaten to the point of paralysis, causing the brigade he had just replenished to plummet once again to become the opponent of half a squadron, and he was reviewing it in front of his superiors.

    Looking at Liu Changshun who was full of shame, Yang Zhen was very angry, but after pondering for a while, he finally suppressed his anger: "If the battle doesn't go well, we can't blame you entirely. None of us have any fault.  I thought that the Japanese army would build such a well-hidden semi-underground permanent fortification in their own military camp."

    "There is no heavy artillery to deal with this kind of permanent firepower point. It is difficult for us to take it down in a short time. However, there are indeed some problems with your tactics. Before, you were too careful and did not dare to let go, like an old lady with small feet. The fight later  It¡¯s good, but it¡¯s also a little too restrictive.¡±

    "Urban combat is a new method of warfare that we have never been exposed to before. It is the first time for both you and us to try it. There are all our compatriots in the city. Without time to evacuate, it is inevitable to be tied up. Fighting.  With things like this, it can be said that you have played well."

    "What you need to think carefully about is why the Fourth Division showed two completely different combat styles in the field and when it was surrounded? What is the reason? Under what circumstances is it true?  The performance of combat effectiveness. How should we fight against the Fourth Division in the future? You have to think carefully about this issue. Next we may have to face the main force of the Fourth Division."

    Hearing that Yang Zhen did not get angry because of his poor performance, Liu Changshun breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.  Although the commander did not directly criticize himself, he pointed out through several questions that he had obviously underestimated the enemy during the battle.

    Seeing Liu Changshun's slightly ashamed face, Yang Zhen smiled and said nothing.  In fact, as soon as the battle started, Yang Zhen could see that this guy obviously underestimated the enemy and seemed not to take a fancy to the fourth division.  Among the troops below, those who had experienced the battle in northern Dunhua also clearly looked down upon this defeated general.

    ????????? Both the tactical movements and the mutual cooperation during the battle seemed loose and loose.  The coordination of infantry and artillery firepower is also somewhat out of touch.  At that time, Yang Zhen was a little worried about the performance of the troops.  To be honest, Yang Zhen didn't know much about whether the fourth division's true combat effectiveness was as good as the first time he came into contact with it.  For those words on the Internet, if 70% of them are true, it¡¯s already pretty good.  If Quan Xin himself died, he wouldn¡¯t even know.

    But one thing Yang Zhen knew was that the battle in northern Dunhua definitely did not show the true combat effectiveness of the fourth division.  Rabbits bite when they are in a hurry, not to mention a well-equipped and well-trained army.  If you haven't reached the point of despairAt this time, the Fourth Division will not fight hard.  But when there is no retreat, they will definitely make all opponents who underestimate them pay a certain price.

    After consecutive battles and victories, the troops are now somewhat proud, Yang Zhen can see this.  Yang Zhen believed that it was time for the troops to learn some lessons, and the arrogance of the troops must be eliminated.  A arrogant soldier will be defeated. Yang Zhen is still very clear about this.

    And this kind of lesson is often not something that can be achieved simply through ideological work.  Sometimes, you can only make up for it with blood.  Facing this Fourth Division, whose fighting will is much worse than other Japanese troops, is much better than facing other elite Japanese troops.  The price paid is also much smaller.

    Yang Zhen did not blame Liu Changshun too much. Apart from the fact that he believed that the troops needed some lessons to extinguish their arrogance, the more important reason was that he was constantly thinking about the follow-up combat plan in his mind.  The contact with Guo Bingxun in Qunce Mountain has never been interrupted, and Yang Zhen has always been well aware of the battle situation there.  The reason for the early retreat was that Yang Zhen received the news in front of Guo Bingxun that the Japanese army had begun to adjust its deployment.

    If Yang Zhen of the Fourth Division is not very worried, Yang Zhen is most worried about the movements of the Third Cavalry Brigade.  Once this highly mobile 3rd Cavalry Brigade bypasses its rear and cuts off its retreat, will it form an encirclement with the main force of the 4th Division?  Then I will really be trapped in Jiamusi.

    In a dense mountain forest north of the Songhua River and west of the Jiamusi-Heli railway line, in a simple tent set up with oilcloth, Yang Zhen kept thinking in his mind under the bright lantern.  A one-step battle plan.  Liu Changshun and Ma Chunsheng, who had already put on new military uniforms, sat on a big rock next to him and looked quietly at Yang Zhen, who was meditating on the map.

    After Yang Zhen crossed the Songhua River, he did not continue to retreat north.  In addition to leaving Wang Xiaoming to lead the materials, personnel, and sick and wounded to continue to evacuate northward by train, he led a group of main forces to go straight to the northwest along the railway line.  After marching for nearly midnight, they only took a short rest when they retreated into the mountains.

    Continuous fighting makes the troops very tired.  After a break was announced, many fighters fell to the ground and slept.  In a short time, in addition to the occasional neighing of war horses, the footsteps of patrolling sentries, and the occasional ticking sound from the two radio stations that communicated with the commander-in-chief and Guo Bingxun, snoring was everywhere in this small mountain col.

    The soldiers can rest, but Yang Zhen cannot.  For him, the most important thing right now is to find out the next move of the Japanese army in order to formulate a combat plan.  After pondering for a long time, Yang Zhen tapped his map, turned to Liu Changshun beside him and said, "Has the Chief of Staff called back?"

    Hearing the inquiry for the seventh time since arriving here and setting up the radio station, Liu Changshun shook his head, took out his pocket watch and took a look at Yang Zhen, who had always been calm and calm.  , it¡¯s not time to contact the Chief of Staff yet, and there is no reply from the Chief of Staff yet.¡±

    Having said this, Liu Changshun hesitated for a moment and then said: "Commander, Dong Ping has already set off, so you don't have to be too anxious. Dong Ping is still very capable. If there are any latest changes in the deployment of the Japanese army, he will promptly report  Reported. Would you like to take a rest first and wait for a call back from the Chief of Staff, or if there is any enemy situation with Dong Ping, then I can call you?"

    Hearing Liu Changshun persuade him to rest, Yang Zhen shook his head and said: "How can I go to rest if the enemy's situation is unknown? At present, we have only received from the Chief of Staff that the deployment of the enemy facing Qunce Mountain has changed, but there are two reports about the enemy's situation in other directions.  My eyes are dark. I don¡¯t know the enemy¡¯s situation.¡±

    Yang Zhen's voice fell, and Ma Chunsheng, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said: "Sir, the current enemy situation is not completely unclear. Although we don't know the specific location of the 3rd Cavalry Brigade, at least the Japanese 4th Division  We can roughly figure out its movements."

    "The main force of the Japanese army on the front line of Qunce Mountain is the Fourth Division, and it must be the Fourth Division that returns to rescue Jiamusi. And although this Fourth Division is twice as greedy as other Japanese troops, the conditions in the field are  They also lacked the courage to take risks. But their cunning and caution were twice as high as those of other Japanese soldiers."

    "In order to avoid being attacked, when they return to support Jiamusi, they will definitely choose to have heavy troops to protect the traffic arteries, which is their march route. They will never take risks and take detours. I heard Wang Xiaoming said that you were in the previous stage  The details of the battle that killed Sasaki Chuichi. Judging from the consistent style of the Fourth Division, they will never take even the slightest risk. Even if Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru had this idea, his subordinates would not  I will definitely not agree to it.¡±

    "This time the Kwantung Army is not counted as the Puppet Manchukuo Army. The Japanese Army alone actually assembled an entire division, plus a reinforced regiment of heavy troops to attack you. I don't think it is Jiamusi, even if it is HarbinEven if they are attacked, they will not give up easily.  Even if Doihara Kenji and Sawada Shigeru wanted the entire army to return, I am afraid Ueda Kenkichi would not agree.  "

    "The Japanese have always had a strong desire for revenge, and the higher they get to the top, the more revengeful they are and the greater their appetite. Once the Japanese become fanatical, they rarely act rationally. You have killed Japanese lieutenant generals one after another since your formation.  , a new major general, unless you are completely wiped out, Ueda Kenji will never be able to swallow this breath. So even if the entire fourth division returns to support Jiamusi, they will not give up on the front line of Qunce Mountain. "

    "Sawada Shigeru is the commander of the Fourth Division, and he must be very clear about the style of his troops. Therefore, judging from my analysis, the ones who stay in Qunce Mountain can only be transferred from the 11th Division  This reinforcement unit and the puppet Manchukuo army will definitely not be the fourth division."

    "In this way, we have roughly figured out the movements of the two largest Japanese troops. As for the Fourth Cavalry Brigade? Sir, according to my judgment, the Japanese army will definitely not invest it on the front line of Qunce Mountain.  Even though the cavalry of the Japanese army were all mounted infantry, no one would send an organized cavalry unit to the mountains to participate in the attack. The Japanese were a little too ambitious, and their heads were often overheated. But no one denied it, except for a few people.  , their staff is quite stable.¡±

    "So according to my analysis, the reason why the Japanese army mobilized the Fourth Cavalry Brigade here is, firstly, because they are stationed in Jiamusi and can be easily mobilized. Secondly, most of the reasons are to prevent us from fleeing. The Northeast Railway  It is true that the railways are developed, and it is also true that the Japanese army relies on railways to mobilize troops easily and has high mobility."

    "But the railway is dead after all and can only play the role of a line. As for the surface, there are not many Japanese cars and the roads are not very developed. The role of the cavalry is more to pursue and intercept than to  Used for mountain warfare and fortification. Especially in this mountainous area with dense vegetation."

    "Based on my understanding of the Japanese army's usual style, I analyze that Sawada Shigeru is very likely to move the 3rd Cavalry Brigade and the 4th Cavalry Regiment directly under the division plus some puppet Manchukuo cavalry along the railway line north of Tangyuan County.  Set up a barrier along the Gejie River. Use the mobility of the cavalry in the plains to prevent us from breaking through to the south or east."

    Ma Chunsheng¡¯s analysis and judgment made Yang Zhen extremely satisfied, and he secretly applauded in his heart. This is a qualified consultant.  It's just that Yang Zhen didn't show this appreciation on his face. This guy still needs to further discover how much stuff is in his stomach.

    Although it didn't show on his face, Yang Zhen still nodded slightly and said: "Your analysis makes sense. However, if the situation is as you judged, which one of the three enemies should we attack? Yes.  When the 4th Division retreats, attack one part of it. Should we attack with the Chief of Staff from both sides and eat up the regiment of the 11th Division? Or should the whole army go south and attack the 3rd Cavalry Brigade?"

    In response to Yang Zhen's question, Ma Chunsheng did not answer directly, but asked: "Which of the three enemies should be attacked first? I think the commander should already know it in his mind, right? Taking a sideways approach can only create momentum. For  Given the current situation, it is still necessary to act steadily and steadily.¡±

    "No matter what, the Fourth Division still has three infantry regiments. Its artillery and cavalry regiments are relatively complete. A skinny camel is still bigger than a horse after all. Let's not talk about the comparison of forces. Do we have the strength?  It¡¯s a shame to say that if we attack the 4th Division, the 11th Division will definitely come to the rescue with all its strength. And if we attack Black Rock Yisheng, given the style of the 4th Division that I know, we will probably die without saving  The possibility is extremely high.¡±

    "The Fourth Division will not go all out if there is no benefit. Even if they send troops, I think this action will not be too fast. If it can delay it for a whole day, these people will definitely not delay it for less than half an hour.  This will give us plenty of time.¡±

    "And the Fourth Division is still a behemoth for us. Although the troops led by the commander are much larger than the general regiment-level establishment, and even larger than the average Japanese regiment. But compared to a three-corps division,  The number of troops is still too small. Unless the commander wants to abandon Qunce Mountain and is prepared to face the danger of being attacked from three sides and take out his heart."

    "However, if you want to give up Qunce Mountain, I'm afraid Major General Kuroiwa Yoshikatsu will not agree. As far as I know, except for the fourth division, the rest of the Japanese army still has a strong desire to take the initiative to fight. Once the troops outflank  Being entangled by Heiyan Yisheng is probably a disaster rather than a blessing. Unless the commander is sure that he can eat a Japanese division with less than one reinforced regiment. But judging from the performance of the fourth division in the Jiamusi Battle, sir,  I¡¯m afraid there¡¯s not even a 10% hope.¡±

    After Ma Chunsheng¡¯s words, Yang Zhen finally couldn¡¯t hold back his appreciation for him, and praised him: ¡°He has a clear mind, accurate analysis, and understanding of the battle situation.?The grasp and judgment are at least above average. I read you right.  Okay, just as you said, fight this 44th Regiment.  "

    Regarding Yang Zhen's words of appreciation, Ma Chunsheng just shook his head and did not appear happy, but calmly said: "Sir, it is inevitable to fight the 44th Regiment first. We can expect that, I think whether it is Doihara Ken  Second, Sawada Shigeru could also predict it. They would not rest assured that the Black Rock Yisheng army would hang on the front line of Qunce Mountain. If I had not predicted the mistake, when the main force of the Fourth Division retreated to rescue Jiamusi, Sawada Shigeru  The 3rd Cavalry Brigade will definitely be mobilized and sent north to protect the flanks of the 44th Regiment."

    "What we should consider now is how to play this chess game that affects the overall situation. If I predict correctly, the most troublesome thing, sir, is the next move of the 3rd Cavalry Brigade, not the 4th Division.  Follow-up reaction. Unable to find out the movements of the third cavalry brigade, the commander cannot plan the next step of the operation."

    Regarding Ma Chunsheng's accurate judgment of his biggest headache, Yang Zhen did not deny it and nodded: "Indeed, my biggest headache now is the Fourth Division, and it is the next move of the Third Cavalry Brigade. Find out.  Getting rid of them is crucial to our next battle."

    Yang Zhen¡¯s straightforwardness made Ma Chunsheng slightly stunned.  He immediately understood that this was the first formal test given to him by the young officer in front of him.  But after all, he is a guy who has something in his belly. In response to Yang Zhen's words, Ma Chunsheng said calmly: "Sir, this third cavalry brigade is indeed a great threat. But being large does not mean it is an absolute threat.  "

    "According to the establishment of the Japanese army, a cavalry brigade only has eight squadrons. Except for the two remaining squadrons that were annihilated in Jiamusi, this cavalry brigade only has six squadrons. In mountainous areas, it is not a plain area. According to the Japanese cavalry and infantry  With their tacit cooperation, I think this third cavalry brigade does pose a certain threat, but it will definitely not be fatal. Just find out their exact location and send some troops to watch and hold them back."

    "I think with the eliteness of the commander's reconnaissance force, it is not difficult to find their location. As long as we find out their exact location, the tactics that the commander used on the 24th Regiment of the 12th Division will be very useful.  I don¡¯t mind copying it on the Third Cavalry Brigade.¡±

    Seeing the calmness on Ma Chunsheng's face after saying these words, Yang Zhen was slightly startled. Indeed, he was a little too worried about gains and losses.  The scheduled battlefield is in the mountains, not in the plains.  No matter how powerful the cavalry is, it cannot be used.  He used cold guns and mine warfare tactics at the beginning, so that the 24th Regiment did not move any faster than a snail.  Can it be completely replicated this time with the Third Cavalry Brigade?
