Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Tan Zhengfu was not intimidated by the severe and urgent situation, nor did he panic. Years of modern military education and military career had trained him well, allowing him to think about countermeasures calmly and in a very short period of time.

    Tan Zhengfu made a series of decisions. The first was to strengthen the defenses around the fortress left by the Japanese army. The second was to immediately inventory the materials seized from the Japanese army. The third was to send correspondents to Juchang County because Wei Lihuang's troops had just captured Juchang.  The county will definitely be able to mobilize troops and materials to support them. The fourth is to find a way to contact the people in the surrounding Korean Freedom Liberation Front to see if they can find local troops. The fifth is to send a company back

    After asking everyone in the battalion to give up rest and start working immediately, he found Wu Zheng, the battalion staff officer who was inspecting the position, and told Wu Zheng the intelligence from the general department.

    Wu Zheng was as surprised as Tan Zhengfu and couldn't believe that all this was true.

    Seeing his puzzled look, Tan Zhengfu emphasized: "Yes, these are all facts. The military seat is still fighting fiercely with the Japanese army in Shangzhou. Four Japanese divisions are attacking the two divisions of the military seat. Our third division was also defeated by the Japanese army.  The division is blocked in the Jinquan area and cannot join the 22nd and 23rd Divisions at the military base."

    Wu Zhen only felt a headache. He spat hard and said bitterly: "This is the worst case scenario for him."

    Tan Zhengfu sighed, took out his cigarette case, flicked it open, gave Wu Zheng one, lit it and took two puffs, and then said: "There is indeed no worse situation than this, but the situation we face may be worse than the military seat."  Oops, the Japanese army may send a brigade to attack our headquarters. I have already sent people to ask for help from the Second Group Army. The telegram has been sent and people have been sent. It is hard to say when we can get support. Tomorrow morning at the earliest  Before, everything had to be done on our own.¡±

    Wu Zheng thought for a moment and said: "We have no armored vehicles or artillery now, so we can only guard these Japanese bunkers. However, these Japanese bunkers are very strong. With a little addition, I think we should be  I can hold on a little longer.¡±

    Tan Zhengfu looked at the time and said: "The most pitiable thing now is time. Go and take a look at the situation of the supplies. I want to send a few people to the front to guard, hoping that the Japanese army can respond later."

    Wu Zheng nodded immediately and went to personally check the supplies seized from the Japanese army.

    Tan Zhengfu calculated in his mind that his battalion headquarters had 12 MBV4 tracked armored reconnaissance vehicles, 47 light machine guns, 755 M35 assault rifles, an average of 120 rounds of ammunition per person, 4 rocket launchers, and 22 mortars.  Taking into account the losses suffered in the previous capture of Guanjiri Fortress, there were an average of about 14 shells left per gun.

    This is all his ammunition. If the supplies left by the Japanese army are not sufficient, his only hope is to pray to Lieutenant General Wei Lihuang to send troops to support the operation.

    Before arriving at Guanjili, Tan Zhengfu had obtained military maps around Guanjili and recent aerial photos from the Northeast General Staff Bureau, but he still lacked intuitive judgment about the terrain here. Before dark, he personally took a  The team of scouts went to the highlands to inspect the terrain.

    The terrain of Guanjili is actually a crossroads. There are two highlands 337 and 335 on the south side of the valley entrance, which just guard the main road to Juchang County. Highland 337 is on the east side, 457 meters high, and is also the foundation of the museum.  The main base here is gentle in the southwest and steep in the northeast, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Japanese army had previously set up the main battle and defense line here.

    In the mountainous areas of southern Korea, most of them are the remnants of ancient glaciers. There are many ravines. Light tanks still have a certain combat effectiveness in this area, but medium and heavy tanks cannot be used effectively here at all.  The Imperial Army's MT22 light tank is roughly equivalent in overall performance and combat parameters to the M24 light tank used by the US military during the Korean War. Its horsepower and maneuverability are relatively better, its armor and firepower are roughly the same, and the tank body is lower and has a front face.  The defense is slightly stronger and the evacuation performance is good.

    The Japanese light tanks and armored vehicles are far behind the Imperial Army's MT22 and the US military's M24. Therefore, it is more difficult for the Imperial Army to attack terrain such as Gwanjiri in southern Korea, while the Japanese army is completely  Helpless.

    As long as Tan Zhengfu¡¯s troops are not short of ammunition, if the Japanese army wants to send infantry to attack from the front, the price it will have to pay will be staggering.

    The development of modern military is changing with each passing day. As the equipment of infantry units becomes more complex and firepower increases, without tanks, if you want to implement frontal penetration, you can only rely on artillery, and the effect is very low.

    Although the entire Luanjian plan fell short due to Fu Zuoyi's lone force, and many main forces were defeated and surrounded by the Japanese army, in terms of positive factors in the entire grand strategic field and modern military, the Empire's Northeast Defense Force still occupies a greater advantage and leading position.

    The Northeast National Defense Force responded quickly and confirmed that Tan Zhengfu¡¯s 203rd Battalion had broken out.After capturing the 337 Highland Fortress, the Northeast Defense Force immediately arranged for the air force to carry out supplies. More than twenty S25s flew over Guanjili before dark. After confirming the orange-red smoke grenades launched by the 203rd Battalion, they airdropped a large amount of supplies here.  a region.

    While Tan Zhengfu arranged for people to sort out the supplies airdropped by the military headquarters, he also sent people to strengthen the construction of fortifications. He added two layers of trenches and bulletproof trenches at the front of the fortress, and dug a large number of cat-ear holes to resist possible heavy artillery bombing by the Japanese army.

    The military airdropped a batch of chemical weapons protective clothing and treatment drugs. Prior to this, Tan Zhengfu also confirmed the latest intelligence from the military. The Japanese army had used chemical weapons on a large scale in this counterattack, and the Northeast Defense Force also followed suit.  In order to prepare for the retaliatory war with chemical weapons, the entire army is urgently strengthening chemical defense work. Chemical defense is also a factor that must be taken into consideration in the construction of trenches.

    Before 7 p.m., an infantry regiment of the Japanese army arrived at an area three kilometers north of Hill 337, but did not launch an attack immediately. They only fired a few chaotic rounds with a 75mm mountain cannon.

    The Military Headquarters air-dropped a batch of ammunition and machine guns to the 203rd Battalion, including 4 infantry anti-tank guns, to prevent the Japanese army from using light tanks and tanks to storm the position.

    The closest air force base of the Imperial Air Force to Guanjiri is in Jeonju. The distance between the two places is only 70 kilometers. They quickly dispatched batches of Tiger Shark fighter-bombers to assist in the surrounding areas, carry out counter-bombing against the Japanese army, and help the 203rd Battalion defend themselves.  position.

    After nightfall, Tan Zhengfu asked all the soldiers in the battalion to take precautions, arranged for engineers to repair the searchlights that were damaged during the attack on the fortress during the day, and arranged a reconnaissance team to infiltrate around the Japanese positions at night to confirm the size of the opponent's troops.

    The searchlight had just been repaired, and the Second Army transferred two new infantry battalions from the garrison in Juchang County to arrive. Also arriving at the same time was a major from the Military Intelligence Department.

    Hearing that the Central Military Intelligence Department sent people over, Tan Zhengfu still felt very strange. In the command post of the fortress, he saw this major. He was short in stature and not handsome in appearance, but had sharp eyes. He looked like he was in his mid-thirties.

    Tan Zhengfu¡¯s military rank was captain, and he was basically a low-ranking officer in this war. There were officers with much higher ranks than him everywhere. When he saw the major walking in, Tan Zhengfu took the initiative to salute.

    The major from the Military Intelligence Department glanced at Tan Zhengfu briefly, returned the gift, took out a letter of certification from his pocket and handed it to Tan Zhengfu, saying: "Captain Tan, hello, I am Major Fu Dashi of the Strategic Intelligence Bureau of the Central Military Intelligence Department. This is the Central Military Intelligence Bureau."  Ministry¡¯s telegram.¡±

    Tan Zhengfu became more and more surprised. He didn't understand how a captain of his level could be qualified to directly receive the telegram from the Central Military Headquarters. He opened the telegram and took a look, roughly knowing that Major Fu had a special mission to perform this time.

    He hurriedly asked: "What special tasks does the military have?"

    Fu Dashi pointed to the corner of the command post and motioned for Tan Zhengfu to follow him to a remote place to talk. After the two walked there together, Fu Dashi and Tan Zhengfu explained: "The current situation has become obvious. The random arrows battle plan has not been implemented well.  Although our army still maintains a certain advantage, it is already very difficult to annihilate the main force of the Japanese army in southern Korea. In addition, the Japanese army used a large number of chemical weapons during the siege of the First Group Army. Our army will inevitably use chemical weapons to carry out counterattacks.  The system is only considering the Japanese army's precautions against chemical weapons. The military department has reported to His Majesty for approval of the use of special weapons. According to the latest secret instructions, the 203rd Battalion will send a tactical detachment to follow me deep into the enemy's heavy artillery positions. As for other matters, you can temporarily  We have no right to know yet.¡±

    Tan Zhengfu did not doubt this secret order and asked Fu Dasheng: "Which artillery position and how many people should be sent?"

    Fu Dashi said: "The Japanese Second Artillery Brigade is stationed in the north of you. It is expected to be the military force that poses the greatest threat to you. Therefore, we must first confirm its location. I will need about two reconnaissance squads."

    Tan Zhengfu was still a little strange. It was always strange for an army major to personally lead a team to conduct reconnaissance behind enemy lines. However, this was a secret order from the Central Military Headquarters. He had no right to interfere, so he asked the commander of the second company to come over and start from the second company.  The reconnaissance company selected two squads of elite troops and followed Fu Dashi with night vision goggles to conduct in-depth reconnaissance of the Japanese artillery positions.

    At this time, Tan Zhengfu did not know that although the situation had not deteriorated to the extent that the empire was in danger, Fu Zuoyi's misstep might indeed endanger the entire Northeast Defense Force's combat plan. In order to forcefully ensure that the Northeast Defense Force would annihilate the Japanese army in this decisive battle,  North Korea's troops and the Central Military Commission have decided to do whatever it takes, and this price is the first official use of special weapons like ballistic missiles in the world.

    In order to ensure the hit accuracy of the Imperial ballistic missile D-4\5\5B\10, like Major Fu Dasheng, about a dozen military agents will be responsible for leading the team deep behind enemy lines and using theodolite to reconstruct the target.Yes, try your best to ensure that the hit accuracy of each missile can be lower than the 1 kilometer range required by combat parameters.

    Within this range, every two to three D-4\5\5B\10 can effectively destroy an important position of the Japanese army, and as much as possible, the main artillery force of the Japanese army can be destroyed in the first large-scale missile attack.  , the main force, the airport and important strongholds were eliminated.

    In response to the Japanese army's use of chemical shells to attack the First and Third Group Armies, the Central Military Department is also preparing a large-scale retaliation plan, but this will be launched after tomorrow. The current first round of counterattacks will begin with ballistic missile attacks.  .

    There has been a lot of controversy within the Central Defense Commission about whether to use ballistic missiles, chemical munitions, nuclear weapons, etc. in this war. However, with the unexpected failure of the random arrow plan and the Japanese army's first use of chemical weapons, the National Defense Commission  The committee has reached a consensus within the shortest time and formally approved the use of missiles and chemical weapons by the Central Defense Forces.

    This order was ultimately approved by Emperor Song Biao, just as the highest approval order for the Japanese army¡¯s use of chemical weapons against the Chinese during the war of aggression against China was approved by Emperor Hirohito of Japan.

    While preparations were being made secretly and busy at the Northeastern base and at the front, in the distant Central Palace, Song Biao did not fall asleep very early that night.

    The night is so peaceful.

    Song Biao was still sitting in his office, facing the application report for strategic forces submitted by Jiang Fangzhen on behalf of the Central Military Department, with an indescribable trance in his expression. Time flies, and under the shadow of the empire, modern warfare has  developed to this level.

    The D-10 medium-range ballistic missile currently being mass-produced in China was finally finalized and put into service in early 1939. This is an improved model developed on the basis of the D-5 ballistic missile. There is no obvious improvement in range and power, but its accuracy is relatively  Improved to a more excellent level, its effective range accuracy of 800-1200 kilometers will be reduced to a range of 1 kilometer, and this technology is used in the upgrade and improvement of the D-5, which is the D-5B medium-range ballistic missile.

    The Empire has three models of short-range ballistic missiles: D-2, 4, and 6. D-2 is the earliest short-range missile, and D-4 is the first-generation short-range ballistic missile officially put into service by the Empire. Its effective range is 300 meters.  Kilometers, after two improvements, the D-4B type is the most in service in the Strategic Missile Force. There are 1,400 missiles in stock at this stage. Compared with medium-range ballistic missiles, this series of missiles are cheaper to build and powerful enough to deter  enemy.

    The range of the D-6 short-range ballistic missile has been increased to 500 kilometers. Due to its late service period, there are only more than 100 in active service. Northwest Aerospace Industry Corporation is the main manufacturer of this series of missiles and is currently accelerating production and service.

    As long as Song Biao is willing, as long as he signs and approves the declaration of the Central Military Department, the empire will have enough strength to eliminate the main war strength of the Japanese army before the army contacts. The battle plan declared by Jiang Fangzhen is a backup plan. Once the Ranjian Plan and Poison Toad  If the implementation of the plan fails, the empire will launch this emergency plan and use more than 600 ballistic missiles to reverse the situation of the war. The imperial ministry will also expand the purchase of missiles. There will be more than a thousand military-certified companies in the country.  Invested in the industrial production of multiple series of missiles.

    This kind of production capacity, which can only be expanded during wartime, officially exploded in the country with the signature of Emperor Song.

    This is just a precautionary measure, but it really must be used.

    This situation made Song Biao have extremely complicated emotions in his heart. He couldn't tell whether it was a good thing or a bad thing. In the silent night, it was difficult for him to fall asleep and he could only wait for the news in the office.

    The power of ballistic missiles actually lies in the huge shock wave generated by high-speed impact. Even so, in terms of cost, using conventional high-explosive warheads is a waste, but short-range ballistic missiles are much cheaper.

    Therefore, some D-10 missiles are equipped with chemical warheads, and their range is enough to attack Tokyo.

    This was the initial plan, but at the last moment, Song Biao vetoed such retaliation. At this stage, the main focus is still on the Japanese army, which mainly eliminates the Japanese heavy artillery units, airfields and major fortress areas, as well as the intensive garrison areas of the main Japanese army.  Key targets such as headquarters and logistics ammunition depots.

    Because there are no short-range ballistic missiles installed on the Korean battlefield, the more than 140 missiles launched from tonight to noon tomorrow are all D-5\5B\10 series medium-range ballistic missiles. They are from various missile units in the Northeast.  Launched from bases, attacked the most important military areas, and used chemical warheads of mass destruction against the Japanese rear.

    Two days later, the Imperial Army will officially use short-range ballistic missiles on a large scale, and the accompanying rocket launchers, which are mainly used to annihilate Japanese field troops, will also be used on a larger scale in the subsequent stages of the war.

    Used against the Imperial Army in the Korean battlefieldGuns and heavy tanks have great limitations, but the rocket launcher improved by tracked armored vehicles has a wider space for use in this area, even if its cost is relatively higher.

    The Empire even researched chemical warheads for rocket launchers.

    With the failure of the Ranjian plan, in order to reverse the situation, the Imperial Army could only take out more terrifying secret weapons, and try to nip the Japanese counterattack in the cradle, trying to achieve the goal of suddenly defeating the Japanese army.

    After a long silence, Song Biao picked up the briefing summary of the Northeastern Defense Force on the desk again and carefully considered the lies and truths in it. A battle that was supposed to be a great victory ended up like this. There must be something wrong from top to bottom.  The problem is, there is always someone who has to tell some lies to get through as smoothly as possible.

    The bulletin was compiled by Zhang Hongkui, Chief of Staff of the Northeast Defense Forces. It criticized Fu Zuoyi, but also found many reasons for Fu Zuoyi, which generally meant that he would not be punished until death.

    Song Biao's heart was particularly heavy. Fu Zuoyi was a general he admired very much, and he was also a talented general he had promoted over the years. It was really hard for him to accept that the result was like this. After thinking about it, he felt that the most fundamental responsibility was still  in his body.

    The root of Fu Zuoyi's arrogance and bravery is precisely because of the emperor's consistent favor.

    The commander-in-chief of the Japanese army, Shunroku Hata, undoubtedly fought a very beautiful battle. Just like in the Battle of Sarhu, the Ming Dynasty attacked the Jin Dynasty in three directions, and the Jin Dynasty only concentrated its forces to annihilate it.

    Hata Shunroku's strategy was to induce Fu Zuoyi to go deep alone, and use the time difference between Fu Zuoyi's and Zhang Zizhong's troops to fight an encirclement and annihilation war with concentrated forces, just like a replica of the Shuozhou Battle in the Second Sino-Japanese War.

    Although Fu Zuoyi delayed the main force of the Japanese army in the positional battle and relied on the support of the air force and the advantages of equipment to avoid being surrounded and annihilated by the Japanese army.  .

    It is precisely for this reason that Jiang Fangzhen decided to use some unconventional weapons. No matter what the final result was, in short, he wanted to eliminate the signs of the Japanese counterattack as much as possible and destroy the possibility and basic conditions of the Japanese army's large-scale counterattack.  (To be continued.
