Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On a hill with dense vegetation on the outskirts of the main position of the Xingshan Fortress Group, which is more than 20 kilometers long from Qingling to Xilin River in the Xingshan area of ??Heli County, and is being built by the Japanese army, on a fully equipped  Under the tight protection of the submachine gun guard squad, after arriving here, Liu Changshun and Ma Chunsheng, who moved forward without taking any rest to grasp first-hand the enemy's situation, carefully observed the enemy's situation.

    Heli is an important coal mine producing area in northern Manchuria. It not only produces large amounts of high-quality coal that is extremely important for military production, but is also an important part of the so-called Northeast Manchuria defense line by the Japanese army.  [.Com text] For Yang Zhen, this place is home to a large number of various workers who he regards as supplementary soldiers.

    Yang Zhen set Liu Changshun's first goal of moving northward to the Xingshan Fortress which was under construction.  It's just that Yang Zhen destroyed this Japanese fortress project not just because of the workers.  What's more important is that the geographical location of this fortress is extremely important. Like a road tiger, it just blocks Yang Zhen's north passage.  It is a great threat to Yang Zhen's future plans.

    If you don¡¯t destroy this fortress, even if you open up a direct line with the Soviet Union, it will be difficult to ensure that this traffic channel is open.  Moreover, Yang Zhen also has the idea of ????moving the base camp to Xingshan.  The base of Qunce Mountain has been exposed, and its location is somewhat southerly, and it is too close to Jiamusi.

    According to Yang Zhen¡¯s strategic plan, the front line of Qunce Mountain should only be used as a strategic support point.  If Liu Changshun can successfully capture Xingshan Fortress, the straight-line distance is not far, and the two places connected by mountains can coordinate and support each other.

    Although the battle at Qunce Mountain was a great victory, it also exposed the problem of troops gathering in one place and lacking strategic support points. In particular, the lack of strategic depth exposed the dangers.

    ¡°For Yang Zhen, the strategic depth he wants is not simply room for maneuver.  More importantly, it lays the foundation for future development.  Under such circumstances, the Xiaoxing'an Mountains in the west, with its high mountains and dense forests and sparsely populated areas, would naturally not be a suitable choice.

    If the Xingshan Fortress can be successfully captured, Yang Zhen will not only have an additional strategic support point, but also use Luobei to the north of Xingshan as his strategic depth.  Moreover, there is one more person to rely on on the front line of Qunce Mountain, and the range of activities of the troops is much larger.

    It was precisely because of such a strategic intention that Yang Zhen chose the Xingshan Fortress, which the Japanese army was almost completed, as the first target of his northward march.  According to the history that Yang Zhen knew, although the Xingshan Fortress was nearly completed at this time, the Japanese army had not yet begun garrisoning.  Its so-called 14th Border Guard Corps will not be formed until next year.

    If we don¡¯t take advantage of this rare opportunity to seize this large-scale Japanese garrison fortress, which is empty of troops and has only a small number of Japanese guards guarding laborers and a small number of puppet Manchukuo military police.  After the Japanese army officially moves in, it will be difficult to take it down due to the current lack of effective means of attacking the enemy.

    And once the Japanese army officially moves in, it will also be a great threat to open the transportation line to the north.  The Japanese troops stationed here can move westward or northward at any time to cut off their intended lifeline.  On the other hand, if you capture the Xingshan Fortress, this solid fortress group will provide you with a defensive barrier to the south.

    After receiving his first order to march north, Liu Changshun did not dare to take it lightly.  Although the first reconnaissance battalion that sneaked in first has provided some necessary intelligence.  But before launching the attack, Liu Changshun and Ma Chunsheng thought over and over again and decided to go to the front to observe again.

    As soon as the two people arrived at the outskirts of Xingshan Fortress, they were stunned by this large-scale fortress group.  Just the ground exposed in the mountains and the semi-underground military facilities stretch for several kilometers.  As for how many underground buildings there are, we can only wait until the battle is over to carefully investigate.

    Liu Changshun and Ma Chunsheng observed extremely carefully. They even observed the number of guards on the construction site through their telescopes, whether they had guns or not, and how many machine guns they had.

    Beside them, Dong Ping also introduced to them the situation that had been detected: "We once captured a local who was delivering food to the mountains, and got some information from his limited confession. Although not much  , but some circumstances can be inferred.¡±

    "He learned from his mouth that the local residents who were forcibly recruited by the Japanese army to deliver food to the construction site estimated from the amount of food delivered every day that there were about 20,000 workers in the entire Xingshan area, and most of them were fraudulently recruited from or within the customs.  A small number of prisoners of war were so-called anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese elements captured from the local area. He once saw people wearing tattered military uniforms coming to carry food."

    "But he doesn't know exactly what is going on inside. He doesn't even know what is going on here. He only knows that there are Japanese troops stationed in the mountains in this area. As for why these Japanese troops are stationed here, he doesn't know.  Don¡¯t know anything anymore??¡±

    "The Japanese army has very strict vigilance on this area. Local people can only send food to the blockade in the south. After the blockade, the Japanese army will organize labor transportation. Once the locals enter without permission, they will be killed without mercy. This number is only from the food supply.  The quantity is roughly estimated.¡±

    "Moreover, the Japanese army is extremely cunning. The rice specially provided for Japanese soldiers is specially transported from Jiamusi by truck and is never collected locally. As a result, no one knows how many people there are in the Japanese garrison. All they can transport is to rice.  The laborers ate sorghum rice and acorn flour.¡±

    ¡°The most valuable part of his confession is that because of the different places where the food was delivered, it can be concluded that these workers were not detained in a centralized manner. Instead, all workers were detained in several areas according to the different construction locations.¡±

    "Except for a few special workers who were called stubborn by the Japanese army and were detained near the Xingshan Police Station in Xingshan Street for fear of their murder, most of them were locked up in caves."

    "I have led the reconnaissance company around here for a week, but I still can't figure out how big it is. I have organized a small-scale infiltration reconnaissance activity, but it is too big here. I can only touch the lime trees.  Quan had no choice but to return. It was just that he found out that all the Japanese supervisors lived in Lishu Spring. Besides, there were no landmines except for three barbed wire fences."

    "But one thing that is certain is that since the 37th Regiment of the Fourth Division originally stationed in Xingshan Street was concentrated in Jiamusi, there are not many Japanese troops stationed here. Mainly the Japanese troops stationed in Xingshan Street  gendarmerie and some Puppet Manchukuo police.¡±

    "The internal guards are served by the Japanese army and Japanese personnel in the Puppet Manchukuo police. The so-called Manchurians and Koreans in the Puppet Manchukuo police can only serve as peripheral security and blockade. Entry is absolutely not allowed inside. Once discovered, they will be reported to the bandits.  Discuss the situation and shoot without mercy."

    "However, at the place where the Japanese army discarded the corpses of laborers in Dongshan, we rescued a laborer who was thrown alive into a mass grave by the Japanese army because he was too ill to work. He was a prisoner of war, so he provided us with some information that we can use.  . But due to the scope of his activities, he can only provide the work shed and the place where he is forced to work.¡±

    "In other words, based on the number of people in custody from his mouth, we calculated that in the entire project, the number of Japanese guards was not too many. The construction site where he was located had the largest number of people in the entire construction site, and there were only more than 50 people in the construction site with more than 3,000 people.  A Japanese guard and more than a hundred Japanese civilians were recruited as overseers.¡±

    "The Japanese guards and supervisors were very strict with these workers. Workers at different construction sites were not allowed to talk to each other even if they met. If they were found to be talking, no matter who spoke, both people would be bayoneted.  Picked to death or beaten to death with sticks.¡±

    "Judging from this situation and the size of this fortress, there should not be too many Japanese guards here, and they will be very scattered. After all, this is not just a construction site for them. Many of his labor groups are  Laborers transferred from other places.¡±

    "But one thing we must pay special attention to is that he personally said that the proportion of light and heavy machine guns among these Japanese guards was very high. More than fifty guards alone were equipped with two crooked machine guns."

    After listening to Dong Ping's introduction, Liu Changshun put down the telescope in his hand and said to Ma Chunsheng beside him: "Old Ma, no matter how many Japanese guards there are, since the commander has issued an order that we must capture this fortress, we will  We have to execute it. And you can see the terrain here. Once the Japanese army moves in heavily, even if we open up the traffic going north, we will be blocked again by the Japanese army at any time. "

    Regarding Liu Changshun's judgment, Ma Chunsheng frowned slightly and said: "We have to fight, but we must carefully discuss how to fight. The most important thing for us now is not knowing where the Japanese guards are stationed. Can't find them?"  How to attack the enemy's position? With such a huge project, we can't search everywhere. "

    After thinking for a while, Ma Chunsheng picked up a branch, drew a simple fortress map on the ground and said, "In this way, I just took a rough look at the distribution of the projects here. Now the main projects are concentrated in the Zhanjiang Mountain.  The line to Dajiao Mountain is the section in front of us.¡±

    "During the observation just now, I found that most of the workers are concentrated in this section. Only a few workers were seen in other places. Maybe in other places, the Japanese army has moved the project underground. But at least from the surface  It seems that the Japanese army is now focusing its main efforts here.¡±

    "We will mainly attack here, and at the same time arrange ambushes in other directions on both sides. Once the Japanese reinforcements are reinforced elsewhere, we can wipe them out in one go. That's itThe battle can be ended in the shortest time, and it can also prevent the Japanese army from murdering the workers in order to silence them and keep their secrets because of their defeat.  "

    After saying that, Ma Chunsheng threw away the wooden stick in his hand and said: "Since we can't find them, let them come to us. Lead the snakes out of their holes, gather together and annihilate them."

    Regarding Ma Chunsheng¡¯s plan to lure the snake out of its cave, Liu Changshun thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement.  But he added one more point: "Since we have decided to take action, we will take action here and at Xingshan Street at the same time. The Japanese army is now focusing most of its forces on the Xingshan Fortress project. In addition to the Puppet Manchukuo police on Xingshan Street,  , there won¡¯t be too many troops.¡±

    Regarding Liu Changshun's addition, Ma Chunsheng nodded: "I think it is okay. However, there are many coal mines in Xingshan Street. In addition to the ordinary Puppet Manchukuo military police, there are also a large number of armed mine protection police. Although these mine protection police are equipped with  Generally, most of them are old-fashioned rifles, and there are no heavy weapons such as machine guns, but their combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated.¡±

    "I have had some contact with these mine protection policemen. Most of them are former Northeast Army veterans Youzi and Mountain Beard who were recruited after the Japanese army occupied Xingshan. They have very strong combat capabilities. Not to mention their dirty hands, their marksmanship is also very accurate.  . It turned out that the anti-alliance forces operating in this area suffered a lot at their hands."

    "And the Japanese worked hard to win them over, and the treatment they gave them was also very high. Not to mention one month's salary is twice that of the average Puppet Manchukuo policeman, and even other treatment is much higher than that of the average Puppet Manchukuo policeman. Even, every  People are also rationed five kilograms of rice every month. This kind of treatment is not available in other places.¡±

    "Because of the high salary, these people are dedicated to serving the Japanese. When fighting Xingshan Street, you must be wary of these people."

    Regarding Ma Chunsheng's reminder, Liu Changshun pondered for a while and said: "In this way, we will divide the work among the three of us when we go back later. Political Commissar Wang Xiaoming will lead the first battalion with four mountain cannons to attack Xingshan Street. He is a smart man and has fought in  With many years of experience in guerrilla warfare, it¡¯s absolutely fine to leave Xingshan Street to him.¡±

    "And you and I will take the main force to attack this Xingshan Fortress. We will attack in two directions at the same time. We will concentrate our forces and try to win it in one go."

    Ma Chunsheng could not comment on Liu Changshun's troop arrangements.  Now that the dispatches have been taken out, how to arrange the troops is a matter for his military commander.  As the temporarily transferred chief of staff, it would be best not to interfere.  What's more, I know far less about the Second Regiment than the guy in front of me.  He is still responsible for the distribution of troops.

    Wang Xiaoming is also a straightforward person. He did not express any different opinions on the division of labor decided by Liu Changshun, but even expressed his support.  Just a slight modification to the battle plan.  He believed that Dajiao Mountain should be abandoned, and instead adopt the tactics used by Yang Zhen when he captured the Japanese secret warehouse at Qunce Mountain, and concentrate the main force to attack the position mountain first with the cooperation of Dong Ping's reconnaissance company.

    It can be seen from the simple structural diagram brought back by Dong Ping that the position mountain is the core position of the entire Xingshan Fortress.  As long as the position mountain is captured, the Japanese army in the entire Xingshan area will definitely reinforce them desperately, and the entire chess game will be alive.  If we attack on two fronts and attack Dajiao Mountain and Position Mountain at the same time, our forces will be scattered and it will not be conducive to concentrating our forces to set up an ambush.

    Regarding the improvement suggestions proposed by Wang Xiaoming, Ma Chunsheng thought for a long time, opened the distribution map of Japanese military fortifications that he had re-drawn by himself, and said: "I think it can be modified according to the opinions of the political commissar, and the main force will be put into the position mountain. However,  We must cut off the connection between the main peak of Zhanji Mountain and Dajiao Mountain in the shortest possible time.¡±

    "You see here is Position Mountain. After detailed observation, except for the road under the mountain, there is only a low ridge connecting them on the surface. But the actual situation is definitely not that simple. Position Mountain is the main defense point of the Japanese army.  It is also the main support point of the entire Xingshan Fortress. The Japanese army would not fail to notice the reinforcements to Dishan during the war. I think the Japanese army must have built underground passages under these two mountains or a large number of tunnels between the two mountains.  Communication trenches to facilitate rapid reinforcements during war."

    "So I want to use Dong Ping's reconnaissance battalion to quietly touch it in the middle of the night, try not to shoot, and use bayonets to solve the problem. After Dong Ping completes the mission, we must quickly find out the Japanese military fortifications in this position in the mountain  Configuration."

    "We don't have to worry about other directions. We only need to find out the passage between the position mountain and other hills. In addition, we must take down the lime tree spring. It is in the Japanese blockade area. Dong Ping once penetrated in and conducted reconnaissance.  . Although there are not many Japanese defensive troops stationed there, most of the Japanese supervisors live there. I think there must be a structural diagram of the entire Xingshan Fortress. If we can get the structural diagram, our next step will be.  The battle will be much smoother."

    Having said this, Ma Chunsheng looked at the upper part of his wrist.After checking his watch, he raised his head and looked at Liu Changshun and Wang Xiaoming and said: "In addition to Dong Ping's reconnaissance company infiltrating in advance to provide support, I think how about we launch an attack at two o'clock in the middle of the night?"

    Regarding Ma Chunsheng¡¯s arrangement, Liu Changshun and Wang Xiaoming looked at each other and nodded slowly to express their agreement.
