Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After making up his mind, Yang Zhen did not directly say what he was thinking, but quickly completed the homework on the map according to his own ideas.  ¨”:¨”Piaotian Literature Network¨”For him, once the knot is opened, ideas come quickly.

    Yang Zhen has always believed that the combat capabilities of his large corps are still lacking. At least five of these victories were due to luck.  So he has been trying every means to learn and find opportunities to enrich himself.  After capturing Jiamusi this time, he took away all the teaching materials from the Japanese Army University stored in the Fourth Division Regiment Headquarters.

    But although Yang Zhen thinks of himself this way, many people obviously don¡¯t feel the same way as him.  After reading Yang Zhen's almost textbook-like homework on the pictures, Ma Chunsheng on the side couldn't help but secretly cheered.  Ma Chunsheng, who had always been proud of his homework on the pictures, couldn't help but admire Yang Zhen's unintentionally exposed little hand.

    It was through Yang Zhen¡¯s standard textbook-like picture homework that he knew that the previous success of the young and somewhat excessive person in front of him was definitely not accidental, let alone so-called luck.

    After Yang Zhen completed the homework on the picture, he looked at the several people standing in front of him with different expressions, but shook his head and smiled bitterly.  Among the people in front of him, although his education level was not the lowest, he only learned some knowledge after joining the army, and he only learned various command courses after the army was established. Liu Changshun, who relied entirely on rote memorization, looked somewhat embarrassed.

    Liu Changshun's performance did not exceed Yang Zhen's expectations, which is also in line with his background.  At this time, both the New Fourth Army and the Eighteenth Army had attracted a large number of intellectuals to join the army because of the enthusiasm among intellectuals to join the army caused by the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War.  However, these intellectuals are still protected like treasures by various units, and the possibility of reaching the grassroots level is extremely slim.

    At this time, most of the grassroots officers were from peasant families, and almost all were workers and peasant cadres.  Even if these two forces attach great importance to education, in a war environment, most of the education is still aimed at middle- and senior-level officers.  At most, junior officers can only learn some basic cultural knowledge in military literacy classes.  Not to mention those company and platoon leaders who are fighting and charging on the front line, how many of the grassroots political workers can read?

    After all, it is difficult to carry out long-term and effective education without a good learning environment while marching and fighting all day long.  The reason why many of them were able to later become senior officers was mainly due to their years of combat experience and even their innate sense of war.

    "I didn't know a word before I joined the 18th Army. Even after I joined the army, I only learned a few words in the army's literacy class."  For Liu Changshun, who knew only a few words but could still write smoothly, he only learned how to read a map after following Yang Zhen.

    Yang Zhen made such a complicated picture assignment, which made him show such a complicated expression, which meant that he did not understand everything.  If it's something simple, he can understand it and do it, but something so complicated is too difficult for him.  Not to mention anything else, the complicated marching route on the map almost confused him.

    After all, a qualified basic officer cannot be trained in a few months.  Although the first few batches of cadets at Huangpu Military Academy had only a few months of semester, after all, they were based on a relatively good cultural foundation.  In Yang Zhen's army, it was difficult to find even a few literate people at first, and the basics were there.

    You can¡¯t ask someone who has just learned how to read to go directly to a university course.  Others can directly enter teaching, but Yang Zhen must first teach his officers to read.  What's more, there is not much time to conduct tactical training and learn basic command for these basic officers.

    Liu Changshun looked embarrassed, and his chief of staff, who was promoted from the position of deputy battalion commander after only one month of training in the staff training team, was even more confused and didn't seem to understand.  Only Ma Chunsheng had a solemn expression on his face, as if he couldn't believe Yang Zhen's deployment.

    Ma Chunsheng, who had been silent for a long time and looked at the map carefully for a long time, said first: "Sir, according to the homework on your map, your tactical intention is to bypass the Japanese army's back road, and go straight from the front line of Wang Shazitun to the Japanese front line of Qunce Mountain.  Southeast. This plan is very bold, but have you ever thought that once our detour tactics are exposed, our flanks will be directly exposed to the noses of the Japanese Third Cavalry Brigade?"

    "Your tactical idea is good. After we blow up the Songhua River Bridge, the Japanese army will definitely think that we have taken refuge in the mountainous area southeast of Heli. In order to ensure the flank safety of the Japanese army on the Qunce Mountain front line, if I were Sawada Shigeru, I would definitely  The 3rd Cavalry Brigade was transferred to the northeast of Qunce Mountain and deployed."

    "You chose to travel between Jiamusi and Qunce Mountain. In order to achieve tactical surprise, this is a good idea. But on the roundabout route,??It is recommended that you still consider it carefully.  After all, this route passes through a plain area.  I suggest that this attack point should be chosen here more appropriately.  "

    After that, Ma Chunsheng looked at the time on his watch, picked up a pen and marked a new route on the map: "Sir, it's already two o'clock in the morning. Even if we set off now, we have to rush before dawn no matter what.  We cannot reach the area you designated. And judging from the speed of march, we may be exposed at the junction of shallow mountains and plains south of the Alinda River at dawn."

    "Our army now has almost no air defense capabilities. Once it is exposed to terrain such as plains and shallow mountains for a long time, it is a trivial matter to alert the snake. But if it is bitten by a Japanese aircraft, the loss will be huge. Moreover, the terrain of this route is simple, and it is only a short distance from Jiamusi.  Closer. Once the main force of the Japanese Fourth Division returning to Jiamusi arrives within a short period of time, and it uses the Third Cavalry Brigade to attack the flanks of our outflanking troops, our army may be in danger of collapse across the board. To do this,  You know, the Japanese army itself is good at flanking and outflanking tactics."

    "So my opinion is to take a circuitous route to the northwest of Qunce Mountain from our current location. The vegetation in this area is dense and can provide a good natural barrier for our army. In addition, this circuitous route is also relatively short."

    "The most fundamental thing is that this roundabout route is close to the defensive line we envisioned after the Japanese 3rd Cavalry Brigade was readjusted and deployed. The roundabout route you chose is hoping to be able to surprise you and launch an attack at the place where the Japanese army's defenses are most lax. But sir  , isn¡¯t this a bit too wishful thinking?¡±

    "On the outside, the place with the least defense is not necessarily what it looks like. Qunce Mountain is backed by the Qinghei Mountains and is located at the junction with the Jiamusi Plain. With the Qinghei Mountains as cover, the Japanese army may not necessarily reduce its protective power on the southern front. There are many times.  , often the place that seems the most dangerous may be the safest. The safest place is actually very dangerous.¡±

    "If the main force of the Fourth Division is still there, the 44th Regiment of the 11th Division naturally does not have to worry about the safety of its southern front. The men of the Fourth Division may be worse at charging and attacking. But in a defensive battle,  It is definitely not inferior to the most elite divisions of the Japanese army. I think this has been fully reflected in the battle in Jiamusi."

    "I heard Wang Xiaoming talk about several battles you commanded before, and I roughly analyzed them. In addition to daring to make dangerous moves, the biggest feature of your commanding battles is that you have an extremely broad vision. Through large-scale detours and intersperses, you can fully  Mobilize the enemy, disperse the enemy's actual strength, find its weakest and most lethal point, and strike hard. I can see this, and the Japanese army will never turn a blind eye to it with their tactical literacy."

    "Once the Fourth Division withdraws to Jiamusi, it means that the Japanese forces on the Qunce Mountain front line will be greatly weakened. In this way, its commander will not fail to consider the safety of his own flanks. There is the Fourth Cavalry Brigade on the northern line.  If you are on guard and cover yourself, the southern route deserves his attention. Therefore, although your circuitous route can serve as a surprise attack, I still recommend that you try not to take it."

    "There are many times, especially after many large-scale detours have been implemented, fighting a regular battle is also a surprise tactic. Often, accidents are most likely to occur in ordinary things. And sir, you  You have to consider the physical strength of your men.¡±

    "It is now two o'clock in the morning, and there are still more than two hours until dawn. Although the situation does not require us to take immediate action, it is best to at least let the troops take a short rest. "

    "Sir, you conducted a large-scale roundabout operation in the previous stage, and fought for a whole day in Jiamusi City yesterday. Your troops are now in a state of extreme fatigue. In order to restore the troops to their best fighting condition, I think it is necessary to let the troops here  Take a rest. Even if you let them sleep until dawn, otherwise the troops will collapse even if they are tired."

    "When you last contacted the front line of Qunce Mountain, you just knew that the Japanese troops on the front line of Qunce Mountain had been mobilized. But how exactly was the adjustment made? Is it as we imagined? Sawada Shigeru mobilized all the fourth division  All this still requires reconnaissance before the army returns to Jiamusi to aid. All next steps need to be determined only after the specific movements of the Japanese army, especially the main force of the Fourth Division, can be made."

    While listening to Ma Chunsheng's explanation, Yang Zhen was also observing the map carefully.  After a long time, Yang Zhen nodded and made up his mind: "Your plan is indeed much simpler and more practical than the one I thought. According to your idea, you have to come up with a combat plan for me as soon as possible.  "

    After saying that, Yang Zhen turned to the chief of staff Liu Changshun and said: "I know it's not time to contact the chief of staff yet, but your radio station must be turned on at all times. Go to the radio station in person. Once there is any notification from the chief of staff,  , report to me immediately."

    ?After explaining Liu Changshun's chief of staff, Yang Zhen turned to Liu Changshun and said: "Go and inspect the troops. Keep the guard farther away and place more hidden sentries. Let the soldiers rest for a while. Unless necessary, before dawn  Except for the security personnel and confidential personnel, all other personnel are resting on the spot.¡±

    Liu Changshun nodded and turned around to arrange it.  After sending Liu Changshun away, Yang Zhen turned his back to Ma Chunsheng and seemed to be talking to himself or saying to him: "You saw the expression on the chief of staff's face just now. Now you should understand why I knew you were reluctant.  , you should also use the Piaotian Literature Network. We are currently in short supply of qualified staff members, and those who come out of the crash course still need a certain amount of time to grow."

    "From scratch to the final development of an army, it takes not only experience on the battlefield, but also time. The running-in between the various units, the training of the units, and especially their maturity, all take time.  I believe that although this force is still young now, one day it will become truly powerful. So powerful that all his enemies will be frightened when they hear his name."

    "I don't know why you have no ability, and you are unwilling to join the Anti-Japanese Forces to serve the country, nor to serve for this so-called Manchukuo. You would rather stay in poverty and be called a traitor, and be a small boy in Jiamusi  Little police chief. You must know that with your ability, you will be taken seriously even in a puppet army."

    Having said this, Yang Zhen waved his hand to stop Ma Chunsheng from opening his mouth to explain and said: "You must have your own ideas when you do this. When I think of your ideas, you will naturally say it. Now I don't  I will continue to ask. Now I just want to ask you, do you have the confidence to go hand in hand with us and build our army into an anti-Japanese iron army that will be formidable to all enemies?"

    After listening to Yang Zhen's words, Ma Chunsheng smiled slightly and said: "Chief Yang is very young, very passionate, and more confident. Judging from the performance in the previous stage, I also believe that Chief Yang has this ability. People should  If you have ambition, especially soldiers should have ambition. If you don¡¯t have ambition, how can you make progress?"

    "But, Chief Yang, don't you think your question is a bit unnecessary? If I am really determined not to come, it will be useless even if Chief Yang detains my family members. I believe that although Chief Yang is cruel to the Japanese, he will not treat those traitors  He is fierce, but he will not attack the old, weak, women and children. I still believe in Chief Yang¡¯s character.¡±

    Hearing Ma Chunsheng¡¯s disguised assurance, Yang Zhen smiled slightly but said nothing more.  He knew that the person in front of him, like himself, was someone who easily did not make promises.  But once you make a commitment, you must be the kind of person who follows his words and deeds.  A few years later, when Ma Chunsheng, who had become Yang Zhen's first-class main division commander, died on the eve of victory, Yang Zhen recalled the conversation between the two that night and couldn't help but sigh in his heart for a long time.

    While Yang Zhen and Ma Chunsheng were talking by candlelight at night, Lieutenant General Doihara Kenji, who was on the front line of Qunce Mountain and the tank he was riding in after the tank he was riding in was damaged halfway, walked for most of a long time before reaching Tangyuan County.  On the phone, a fierce quarrel emerged over how to return to the division to rescue Jiamusi.

    In fact, even before Kenji Doihara, who had lost all his communication tools, rushed to Tangyuan County, Sawada Shigeru already knew about the attack on Jiamusi.  After all, Yang Zhen just went straight to Jiamusi and did not clean up the various strongholds around it.  The deafening sound of gunfire emanating from Jiamusi City can even wake up the dead, not to mention the various police stations in the periphery?

    Just because there was no radio station, by the time these people spent a lot of effort to find Zetian Shigeru through the field phone set up by Zetian Shigeru to contact the Japanese and puppet troops in Tangyuan County, Yang Zhen had already captured almost the entire Jiamusi City.  .

    After receiving the report of intensive gunfire coming from Jiamusi City, Zetian Shigeru immediately understood that this was a roundabout tactic adopted by the opponent to try to capture Jiamusi while almost all the Japanese and puppet troops in Jiamusi were concentrated on the front line of Qunce Mountain.  Create a tense situation for yourself in the rear.  As for himself, as long as the opponent captures Jiamusi, all the supplies of the Fourth Division fighting on the front line of Qunce Mountain will be cut off.

    Although he received the report that Jiamusi was attacked, Zetian Shigeru did not act rashly, especially he did not easily mobilize troops to return to defense.  Because although he guessed the general intention of his opponent's move, he was not sure.  There was only one thing he could be sure of, that is, this opponent's detour to Jiamusi was definitely not an isolated move.

    In Zetian Shigeru¡¯s view, based on the strength comparison between the Kwantung Army, the Manchurian Army and this anti-Manchu armed force, even if they were lucky enough to occupy Jiamusi, it would be impossible to hold it.  Therefore, when they besieged Jiamusi, they just wanted to attract the main force of the imperial army who attacked the front line of Qunce Mountain to return to Jiamusi, so as to curb the imperial army's attack on the front line of Qunce Mountain.  If we talk about this anti-Manchu armed forceLieutenant General Zetian Shigeru would not believe it even if he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the entire Jiamusi Imperial Army to mobilize.

    Zetian Shigeru looked extremely calm when facing the attack on Jiamusi.  Even if direct contact with Jiamusi was lost, not a single soldier was mobilized.  Although I had made preparations, I still didn't think that my opponent could capture Jiamusi, which was guarded by a battalion of the Fourth Division and a large number of puppet Manchu soldiers and police, and had built good fortifications.

    As the division leader, Sawada Shigeru still knows the virtues of his subordinates.  In his opinion, his subordinates' fighting in the field would cost them their lives.  But it can still be done by relying on a strong city to defend it.  In particular, Jiamusi City has a large amount of private goods from various units of the Fourth Division.  Even for these properties, his subordinates will fight tooth and nail.

    Therefore, Sawada Shigeru can be said to be as stable as a mountain. Not to mention that he did not immediately send troops to return reinforcements, and even strengthened the attack on the front line of Qunce Mountain.  In his opinion, as long as the opponent's home base of Qunce Mountain is destroyed and its most important rear area is destroyed, even if the opponent takes over Jiamusi in a short time, it will be nothing.  Without the army to rely on in the rear, it can only be a group of bandits.  The opponent's detour to Jiamusi has already proved the importance of the base of Qunce Mountain to them.

    However, although Lieutenant General Zetian Shigeru did not immediately send troops to return reinforcements when the Jiamusi front line encountered an attack by anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese armed forces, he was also prepared to quickly return reinforcements.  He gathered all the cars dispatched by the Fourth Division on the temporary road along Miaolingzi Mountain.  They also used the attached 44th Regiment of the 11th Division and the puppet Manchukuo army to successively withdraw the troops of the 4th Division.

    Sawada Shigeru was calm, but his immediate boss, Doihara Kenji, could not be as calm as him.  Doihara Kenji, who felt safer after running to Tangyuan County in embarrassment, was extremely angry when he learned that Sawada Shigeru did not immediately mobilize troops to return reinforcements after learning that Jiamusi was under attack.

    Jiamusi is an important military town occupied by the Japanese army in Northeast Manchuria.  Not only is the strategic location extremely important, it also reserves a large amount of military supplies. It is an important strategic frontier for the Japanese army to move north.  Once Jiamusi is lost, it will have a great impact on the Japanese army's entire strategy against the Soviet Union.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????As a transportation hub and the main starting point for Japanese immigrants to Northeast Manchuria, Jiamusi City also has a large number of Japanese immigrants and various Japanese businessmen with dreams of getting rich.  Once these large numbers of Japanese immigrants and businessmen suffered heavy casualties, not to mention Lieutenant General Kenji Doihara, even the commander of the Kwantung Army, General Kenkichi Ueda, would be unable to bear the consequences.

    Kenji Doihara had a tough tone and ordered Shigeru Sawada to immediately mobilize the main force of the Fourth Division to return to Jiamusi.  The follow-up attack on the front line of Qunce Mountain was handed over to the 44th Regiment of the 11th Division and the Manchuria Army, under the unified command of Major General Yoshikatsu Kuroiwa, commander of the 22nd Brigade.  If Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru cannot recapture Jiamusi in the shortest time, he will report directly to the Kwantung Army and the Tokyo Base Camp and relieve Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru of his duties as commander of the Fourth Division.

    Before putting down the phone, Kenji Doihara once again emphasized that all the fourth division must return for reinforcements, and not a single soldier is allowed to stay.  Jiamusi must be recovered within a short period of time and the anti-Manchu anti-Japanese armed forces who are so audacious that they dare to attack Jiamusi must be completely wiped out.

    Faced with Doihara Kenji¡¯s tough tone and attitude, Sawada Shigeru could only bow his head after arguing for a long time to no avail.  Putting down the phone in his hand, Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru sighed deeply to the commander of the 36th Brigade, Major General Kobayashi Asaburo, and said: "Lieutenant General Kenji Doihara only stared at Jiamusi, but he didn't know that Qunce Mountain was their  fundamental."

    "As long as Qunce Mountain is destroyed, how long can those bandits, even if they are fierce and without the resting ground and supplies that the rear relies on, hold on when the division's veterans are exhausted? An army without a stable rear can only  Can become a rogue bandit. Does Lieutenant General Kenji Doihara really think that they can stay in Jiamusi and wait for the decisive battle with our army?"

    "Once our entire army rescues Jiamusi and only the 44th Regiment and the Manchurian Army are left, we will be lucky if only one of us can return without success in this campaign. Mr. Doihara is indeed a genius as a spy, but  When it comes to fighting, this vision is very short-sighted." @ya
