- ?The Japanese army responded so quickly to the fall of Xingshan Fortress that it almost exceeded everyone's expectations. "Piao Tian Literature Registered Member Recommends This Work" Piao Tian Literature Registered Member Recommends This Work. Even Yang Zhen, who had been prepared in his heart, almost didn't expect it. When the leading troops of the 3rd Cavalry Brigade, which received rapid reinforcements marching north from Jiamusi, came into contact with Wang Xiaoming's troops at Guanmenzuizi Mountain, they also started to engage with a regiment of the 104th Division of the Japanese Army that arrived later. After the report of the fierce battle, Yang Zhen's heart almost immediately rose.
After looking at the equally shocked Guo Bingxun, Yang Zhen immediately opened the military map. When he compared Wang Guangyu's current marching speed with the distance to Shitou Temple where Xingshan Fortress was located on the map, he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. According to Wang Guangyu's marching speed and the current distance between him and the Stone Temple, he will not be able to arrive until at least midnight today.
Wang Xiaoming said that it was a battalion of troops, but after being rescued, the laborers who had almost no strength to run had to be left behind to take care of them, so only two companies could be deployed on the front line of Guanmenzuizi Mountain. Even if those few temporary independent companies could withstand Wang Guangyu's arrival, Yang Zhen really didn't know.
Yang Zhen threw away the red and blue pencils in his hand, rubbed his bloodshot eyes after a sleepless night, and said to Guo Bingxun beside him: "Inform Wang Guangyu to speed up the march and be sure to reach the front line of Shitushi Temple before dusk today. Order. Liu Changshun immediately stopped advancing north and returned to reinforce Xingshan Fortress."
Guo Bingxun shook his head and said: "Wang Guangyu and the others are marching now and cannot set up a radio station at all. According to regulations, it is impossible for them to set up a radio station before five o'clock in the afternoon. And based on the time of their departure, they are sending cavalry communicators there now. I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up. In other words, we can't get in touch with Wang Guangyu at all now."
Yang Zhen, as the top military leader, naturally knows what Guo Bingxun said. It was just because of the momentary anxiety that I forgot about it. Wang Guangyu, who was marching, could not be contacted, and Liu Changshun and Ma Chunsheng, who were also rushing towards Hebei, could not be contacted. Yang Zhen suddenly realized that at least until five o'clock this afternoon, Wang Xiaoming could only fight alone.
Yang Zhen was somewhat scratching his head at the rapid response of the Japanese army. He was a little confused, but Xingshan Fortress and Xingshan Street were taken down almost at the same time. Judging from the telegrams sent by Liu Changshun and Wang Xiaoming, almost all the Japanese and puppet troops in the two places were wiped out or captured, and almost no one could escape. How could the Japanese army know that something happened at Xingshan Fortress in the shortest possible time? ?
The Japanese army is well-trained and its reaction speed has always been much faster than that of the Chinese army, which is slow to do things. Judging from the speed and progress of the Japanese army's march, these Japanese troops were dispatched in the early morning. In other words, it didn't take long for the Japanese army to know that Xingshan Fortress was taken down last night.
With no troops to send, Yang Zhen, who was a little worried about Wang Xiaoming's situation, tapped his fingers on the table from time to time. Although his face looked calm, Guo Bingxun could hear the anxiety in his heart judging from the disordered sound of his fingers tapping.
Guo Bingxun knew very well the reason for Yang Zhen's anxiety. However, Guo Bingxun, who knew that there was really no troops to send, could only pray in his heart that Wang Guangyu could speed up the march and reach the front line of Shitou Temple before the main force of the Japanese army came up.
The army consists of three infantry regiments and one supplementary regiment. The first regiment was on its way to Shitou Temple, while the main force of the second regiment was heading north to carry out the task of opening up the distance. The third regiment suffered heavy losses in the battle at Qunce Mountain and was still undergoing repairs, far from regaining its combat effectiveness.
Most of the troops of the supplementary regiment have been filled into the three infantry regiments as supplementary troops. In fact, the current supplementary regiment, except for a few recruits who have not been fully trained, has become almost empty. In other words, now the entire army, except for the guard company around Yang Zhen, can no longer send a single soldier.
Unless the arsenal¡¯s security forces are mobilized, both of them know this is impossible. The arsenal is now the top priority of the entire army. Even if communication with distant places cannot be opened, the troops can survive temporarily. But if the arsenal is lost, the troops will lose almost all ammunition supplies except for the seizure. The guard force of the arsenal can only be strengthened and cannot be reduced. This is the consensus that Yang Zhen and the commander-in-chief have already reached.
"Don't say there are no troops to send, even if there are troops to send, both of them know it. No matter how fast the troops are mobilized now, they will not be able to reach the front line of Shitushi Temple in front of Wang Guangyu. Now both Yang Zhen and Guo Bingxun know that, at least for now, they can only place their hopes on Wang Guangyu to get to the front line of Shitou Temple in advance.
But even if Wang Guangyu can reach the front line of Shitou Temple on time, can the two of them rest assured? One of Wang Guangyu's main battalions and Liu Changshun's second teamThe northward detachment has been formed and is attacking the front line of Luobei. Can Wang Guangyu, who has only two battalions at hand, cooperate with Wang Xiaoming to repel the Japanese attack?
Yang Zhen can conclude that the Japanese cavalry third brigade that appeared on the front line of Guanmenzuizi Mountain at this time can only be the vanguard. Their follow-up troops should still be on the way at this time. It's just that they will transfer those troops for reinforcements, is it still from Jiamusi's Fourth Division?
Yang Zhen, who had no idea why the Japanese army learned about the incident at Xingshan Fortress so quickly, did not know that the reason why the Japanese army learned about the incident at Xingshan Fortress so quickly was thanks to his battle at Qunce Mountain.
After the Fourth Division failed to strengthen the 11th Division in the suppression campaign, and instead lost the 44th Regiment attached to the 11th Division, which strengthened an infantry brigade, in order to wipe out this group of fierce anti-Japanese elements as soon as possible, in order to attack the Tokyo base camp explain.
Unable to calm down, Ueda Kenkichi ignored the objections of the Kwantung Army Chief of Staff Isotani Rensuke, and within the half month left by Yang Zhen to reorganize the second regiment, he quickly moved the Kwantung Army's directly-controlled No. The 104th Division was transported to the Jiamusi front line.
If the 23rd Division had not had a large-scale conflict with the Soviet army on the Nomonhan line at this time, of course the scale of the battle between the two sides would still be far from the scale of a battle, and it could only be called a conflict. Kenkichi Ueda, who almost felt that the sharp sword from the Tokyo base camp was about to hit his head, would not give Yang Zhen half a month to rest.
Although the distance between Qunce Mountain and Xingshan Fortress is not close, it is not far away. The Fourth Division, which was closest to Xingshan Fortress, was severely damaged and was designated by the staff as the first batch of reinforcements once the Nomonhan conflict expanded and could not be used. The 104th Division is still gathering and transporting to Jiamusi, and the entire Northeast region is depleted of troops.
In order to ensure the safety of Xingshan Fortress, known as the Kwantung Army¡¯s No. 1 Tianzi Project and the largest of all the fortresses built by the Kwantung Army on the Sino-Soviet border. After the Fourth Division retreated to Jiamusi in embarrassment, Ueda Kenkichi's first order was to require Xingshan Fortress to report the situation three times a day.
The prescribed reporting time was set by Ueda Kenkichi himself. He didn't know that he had the wrong string in his head and gave up the early morning, midnight and other times when he was most likely to be attacked. Select the times as 8 a.m., 9 p.m. and 2:30 midnight. Perhaps in Ueda Kenkichi's view, these three times are the times when opponents are most likely to launch night attacks.
At 2:30 midnight, after receiving the news that Xingshan Fortress lost all radio contact, the specially assigned staff officer on duty did not dare to delay and immediately woke up the sleeping Kwantung Army Chief of Staff Rensuke Isotani. After receiving the report, Isotani Rensuke also felt that something was wrong, and he probably must not be rude at night and wake up Ueda Kenkichi.
After receiving the report of lost contact at the Xingshan Fortress construction site, I have been hit by a series of unfortunate news these days, which has made me feel numb. Ueda Kenkichi, who almost refused to listen to all bad reports, was agitated this time. His first feeling was that something had happened there.
As the Kwantung Army¡¯s No. 1 Tianzi Project, Ueda Kenkichi, the commander of the Kwantung Army, naturally knew the importance of Xingshan Fortress. Once the Xingshan Fortress was lost, Ueda Kenkichi knew that the emperor would give him a way out for the sake of his years of hard work and achievements. But Tokyo Base Camp will never spare himself.
In a rage, he grabbed the phone overnight and called Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru, the commander of the Fourth Division of Jiamusi, regardless of being woken up overnight and rushing back to the Kwantung Army headquarters¡¯ secretary and adjutant.
Although most of the 104th Division had arrived in Jiamusi at this time, its commander, Lieutenant General Hamamoto Kisaburo, was seriously injured due to a plane crash and could only return to Xinjing to recuperate.
When the commander of the 104th Division was unable to take office, Ueda Kenji ordered the 108th Regiment and the 170th Regiment of the 107th Brigade of the 104th Division that had arrived in Jiamusi. The 37th Regiment, one of the 32nd Brigade, is under the command of Major General Nishiyama Fukutaro, the commander of the 107th Brigade, and is temporarily under the command of Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru, the commander of the 4th Division.
Since the troops of the 104th Division that have arrived in Jiamusi are now temporarily under the command of the 4th Division, if something goes wrong, they will naturally turn to Lieutenant General Zetian Shigeru.
Lieutenant General Shigeru Sawada, who was awakened by the ringing of the phone at midnight, was naturally quite dissatisfied. But facing his boss's boss, no matter how dissatisfied he is, he has to endure it. However, after hearing Ueda Kenkichi's call, Sawada Shigeru's deep sleepiness was swept away in a very short time.
" Sawada Shigeru naturally knew very well about this large-scale fortress project built within his own jurisdiction. When he heard the news about the loss of contact with Xingshan Fortress and the distribution of troops in his division's jurisdiction after the battle against Qunce Mountain, Sawada Shigeru's first thought was naturally the same as Ueda Kenkichi's. I'm afraid something happened to Xingshan Fortress.After realizing this for the first time, Sawada Shigeru didn't care what time it was and immediately called in Nishiyama Fukutaro, who was currently in charge of commanding the 104th Division to arrive at Jiamusi, and Major General Naoda Yoshi, the commander of the 3rd Cavalry Brigade.
Before even having time to formulate a combat plan, Major General Naoda Yoshi's third cavalry brigade was ordered to set off immediately. At the same time, all trucks that can be assembled in Jiamusi City were mobilized as quickly as possible, and all the 108th Regiment, the leading force of the 104th Division, was converted to truck transport. Go all out to the north and launch an attack in the Xingshan Fortress area. The main force of the 104th Division followed suit.
After receiving the order, Major General Naoda Yoshi and Major General Nishiyama Fukutaro, who knew the seriousness of the situation, did not dare to delay at all. They assembled overnight and set off as a team immediately. Since the Songhua River Bridge was bombed, railway transportation was interrupted, and it took time for cars to cross the river. The Third Cavalry Brigade, which was light and did not have high requirements for marching routes, naturally set off first.
However, after two consecutive defeats at Qunceshan and Jiamusi, although the entire army was not wiped out like the 44th Regiment, it still suffered heavy losses. At this time, the third cavalry brigade, which had not yet begun to replenish, could actually be dispatched. The troops under its jurisdiction are no more than three cavalry squadrons and one cavalry artillery squadron.
The battle at Qunce Mountain left a deep impression on Major General Naoda Yoshi. Faced with the small number of troops at hand, and even a somewhat embarrassed appearance, Major General Naoda Yoshi, who knew clearly that his cavalry was not suitable for mountain warfare, couldn't help but feel a little drummed in his heart.
After learning that the 108th Regiment, which should have gone hand in hand with him and transported by truck, was blown up on the Songhua River Bridge, they could only rely on a ferry temporarily transferred from Harbin to cross the river. After a large number of trucks crossed the river, it took a lot of time. After crossing the river, I was able to wait for a while in order to keep pace with the 108th Regiment.
However, under the strict orders of Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru who was eager to rescue Xingshan Fortress, and even the Kwantung Army Commander General Ueda Kenkichi, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and set off first.
It¡¯s not that Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru didn¡¯t know that cavalry was not good at mountain warfare, let alone attacking fortresses. But he knew the importance of this Xingshan Fortress to the Kwantung Army and even to the overall deployment of the Tokyo base camp.
Sawada Shigeru, who had inspected the place and knew the strength of the fortifications there, knew that if he could not take advantage of the possibility of his opponent to take Xingshan Fortress and quickly take over Xingshan Fortress before he could gain a foothold, then he would have to wait. His own will be a mountain of corpses and a sea of ??blood of imperial soldiers.
Even after the reluctant Major General Naoda Yoshi set off first, Sawada Shigeru, who had expected that retaking the lost fortress would cost the Kwantung Army an unbearable price, was still praying secretly that the garrison of Xingshan Fortress is still there resistance.
In fact, we know that the Fourth Division, which has been stationed in the Sanjiang area for some time, and even many troops have taken turns serving as guard troops for Xingshan Fortress, is more suitable for this operation. But after the battle at Qunce Mountain, Sawada Shigeru, who was completely disappointed with the Fourth Division, did not dare to use his direct fourth division anyway. They would rather risk the criticism from the outside world and dispatch the 104th Division to join the war.
Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru didn't know that if he waited for the 108th Regiment to rendezvous, he would certainly be delayed for a while before rushing to Shitou Temple to join the battle. But with only one battalion of opponents, even if they took advantage of the geographical advantage, it would be impossible to withstand the impact of a Japanese regiment.
¡°But when he gradually increased his troops and adopted a refueling tactic, although Wang Xiaoming almost wiped out the entire army, the two battalions of Wang Guangyu¡¯s regiment also suffered heavy losses. However, the three cavalry squadrons of the 3rd Cavalry Brigade, which served as the first wave of attacking troops, were also completely destroyed. The 108th Regiment also lost its combat effectiveness.
By the time the main force of the 104th Division arrived, the battle situation had already been decided. Facing the strong fortifications they built, with the cooperation of Yang Zhen, who had exhausted all his troops for reinforcements, and Liu Changshun, who returned reinforcements as quickly as possible, the 104th Division, whose combat effectiveness was second-rate among the Japanese army, was unable to recover.
