    Of course, this battle not only gained experience, but also exposed many problems.  [.Com text] First of all, there are still deficiencies in equipment, especially the lack of quick-drying cement.  As a result, some fortification groups resurrected after being blocked by cement because they could not be dried for a long time.  In addition, the quantity of equipment is subject to certain restrictions in use due to insufficient raw materials.

    For example, the flamethrower, which was the most lethal to the Japanese army's permanent fortification group, the arsenal tried its best to equip only one company because of insufficient steel for making cylinders.  This problem also occurs with fuel-air bombs. The imported raw materials are far from meeting the needs due to restrictions on economic conditions and process problems.

    Similar problems also occurred when dealing with the most destructive Wandashan-type bombs in the Japanese army's permanent fortification group.  Although the construction of the synthetic ammonia production line has been completed, as it is still in trial operation, the output of explosives cannot meet the demand, and a large amount of imports are still needed.  The production of high explosives is not proportional to the demand.

    With the production of high explosives in Jiangbei also being limited and exports strictly controlled, being able to produce fifteen bombs is already the best effort of the arsenal.  As for the delay fuses used in these super bombs, they are not yet able to produce them themselves. They can only import them through private negotiations with the Soviet Far East Military Region.  This is almost difficult for Yang Zhen to accept.

    In addition, there are still some shortcomings in the use of tactics.  When launching the attack, the charging infantry and the chemical defense company acting as cover were disconnected from each other due to unfamiliar cooperation.  Often the flamethrowers had opened an attack route for them, but the infantry failed to keep up in time, causing the attack route to be re-blocked by the resurrected Japanese firepower point.

    In addition, when the troops attacked various permanent fortifications of the Japanese army, in addition to being relatively skilled in the use of rocket launchers and light and heavy machine guns, they were still relatively unfamiliar with the use of anti-aircraft machine guns, which were very suitable for suppressing their shooting holes.  Except for Wu Ruofu's troops who had used the anti-aircraft machine guns that had been strengthened before the war, the rest of the troops basically did not take advantage of the machine guns' long range, strong penetration, and high power.

    Facing the fire blockade constructed by the Japanese army's deep and long-range artillery fire, some companies lacked courage and determination.  The slow pace of reinforcements resulted in the delay in forming superior forces in the battle on the ridge.  In addition, there were many tactical mistakes when using mortars to attack Japanese anti-slope positions.

    What dissatisfied Yang Zhen the most was that he allocated a 105 cannon battalion to Du Kaishan and the only 200 barrel-fired artillery shells used in the entire army. From the beginning of the battle, he watched from the back.  Knowing that all the frontline fighting at Honey Mountain was over, not a single shot was fired.

    The first was because these heavy artillery moved slowly. When they arrived, the battle had already begun and they did not dare to use them easily.  By the time Du Kaishan wanted to use it later, the two armies had already entered a stalemate at the ridge line, and the roundabout troops had already penetrated deep into the Japanese army.  Even if I want to use it, I can't use it.  A long-range cannon battalion with powerful new artillery shells was left idle.

    Thinking that he would have to face the Japanese fortresses such as Hulin, Dongning, Hunchun, and Heihe in the future, Yang Zhen honestly could not say that he was too impressed with the performance of Du Kaishan's command today, including Du Kaishan's command.  satisfy.  In his words, it can only be described as unsatisfactory.

    Although Yang Zhen was not too satisfied with the performance of the entire Honey Mountain offensive, the capture of the entire Honey Mountain area not only cut off the entire so-called Northeast Manchurian fortress group, but also achieved victory over the Japanese fortress group.  experience.  The Japanese Tiger Head Fortress Group and the Eighth Border Guard Team located in Hulin in the north were also isolated.  At the same time, it cut off the connection between the 12th Division stationed in the Suiyang area and the Baoqing battlefield where fierce fighting was taking place at this time.

    Regardless of whether he is satisfied or dissatisfied with the performance of the Honey Mountain fortress group, the Japanese fortress group from Honey Mountain to Miaoling has undoubtedly achieved considerable strategic flexibility.  There is no need to allocate troops to guard the border garrison in the entire Japanese fortress group from Hulin to Banjiehe.

    Just taking down the Honey Mountain Japanese fortress group is only the first step in the overall attack plan.  The Japanese fortress group in Honey Mountain is the smallest among the large number of fortress groups and border fortification areas built in Northeast Manchuria from Hunchun in the south to Raohe in the north.  There are only three real permanent fortifications, and they are much smaller in scale than the Hutou Fortress in the north or the Dongning Fortress in the south.

    Because of the natural barrier of Xingkai Lake, the scale of the fortress group from Miaoling to Honey Mountain is much smaller than that of the similar Banjiehe fortress group, which is to say the frontal border position in Pingyang.  Although the equipment and troops are not inferior to those of the Banjiehe fortress group closest to it.  However, the number of permanent fortification groups is quite different.

    The Japanese fortress group in the area from Bee Mountain to MiaolingThe success achieved in the war is only the first step in a long march of thousands of miles.  It can only be said that we have gained combat experience in dealing with Japanese fortresses.  For Yang Zhen's troops, the Hutou Fortress Group in the north and the Dongning Fortress Group in the south are the highlights.

    Only by capturing these two fortress groups can the so-called fortress groups of the Japanese army in Manchuria, Northeast China be truly destroyed.  But no matter what, the Japanese fortress group in the area from Honey Mountain to Miaoling was successfully captured this time, which can be regarded as the first kick.

    Just when Yang Zhen was assessing the gains and losses of this critical battle and what experience it would bring to similar operations in the future, after taking the 458th Highland over there, Qin Zesheng had already led his troops to attack the Japanese defenses on the front line of Miaoling in depth.  After all, the true results of air strikes still need to be seen to be believed.

    Except for encountering a handful of stragglers along the way, Qin Zesheng, who encountered almost no resistance from the Japanese army, arrived at Miaoling and saw the Japanese army at the real core of the honey mountain front-line fortress.  Looking at the scene in front of him, his eyes almost fell to the ground.

    When they entered the interior of the fortress, where almost all the cover at the entrance had been overturned, both Qin Zesheng and his subordinates felt a sense of horror when facing the scene in front of them.

    The dense vegetation on the entire front of Miaoling Mountain had been burned to ashes. When Qin Zesheng arrived, many trees were still burning.  Even the trees on the adjacent mountains that were not affected by the fire were shaken by the shock wave caused by the explosion, and almost no one was standing.

    "A Japanese military supplies warehouse behind the mountain was directly hit by a ton-level bomb. The entire military supplies warehouse was blown up, leaving only a large hole on the ground.  Japanese military uniforms and various military supplies were bombed everywhere, and the surrounding trees were covered with parts from the blown-up Japanese soldiers guarding the warehouse.

    When he ordered his troops to carefully enter the mountain to search for fear that there were still Japanese soldiers alive inside, Qin Zesheng realized that there was no need to worry at all.  Everything inside was burned, and most of the Japanese soldiers were burned to coke or simply evaporated.  The few Japanese soldiers on the upper floors of the fortifications who were not burned to ashes because of their elevated location were all suffocated to death due to suffocation and lack of oxygen.

    "Compared to the Japanese soldiers who also died of hypoxia and suffocation in the heavy artillery fortifications on the top of the mountain, the strange thing is that the heavy artillery and their bunkers on the top of the mountain were almost unscathed.  Six 150mm heavy howitzers and six 150mm heavy cannons were placed intact on the gun positions.

    Be careful not to fall into the large pit on the ground floor, which was dozens of meters in diameter and nearly ten meters deep, created by the bomb.  Except for him and his men, there is no one alive in the Japanese military fortification group in Miaoling, and there is nothing for him to worry about.

    ¡°After careful inspection of the entire fortress group that had lost all life, when Qin Zesheng commanded his troops to pry open the only closed iron gate near the back of the mountain near the fortress, everyone almost vomited when they saw the scene inside.

    There is no way, no one will see dozens of people who look like they were boiled alive.  Even the flesh on the body was boiled off, leaving only a skeleton, while the military uniform on the body was almost intact. This was a scene that ordinary people could hardly see in their lifetime without feeling disgusted.

    This timely closed iron gate is the largest internal ammunition depot in the Japanese Miaoling fortress group.  When the first bomb penetrated the top of the fortress and fell, the soldiers here closed the heavy iron gate in time.  After an unexplained violent burning occurred inside the fortress, water was quickly injected into the ammunition depot, and the explosion of ammunition was stopped in time.

    This is also the reason why the Miaoling Fortress was not completely blown up like the Japanese fortresses at Camelback after receiving a ton bomb and two air-fuel bombs.  But the Japanese soldiers in the ammunition depot did not expect that they closed the iron door and filled the ammunition depot with water.

    These extremely fast Japanese soldiers did not expect that the water injected into the ammunition depot would turn the entire sealed ammunition depot into an extra-large pot.  The thousands of degrees of high temperature generated by the explosion of the two air-burning bombs caused even the rocks to melt.  How can a mere iron gate resist it?

    Even if it is filled with water, the iron door is thickened and filled with lead. The high temperature will not damage the iron door for a while.  But it does not prevent the high temperature outside the door from acting as a conductor through the rock and iron door, boiling the water in the ammunition depot.  The Japanese soldiers inside could not escape or run away. They were all boiled alive in the ammunition depot.

    Smelling the strong smell of meat coming from the ammunition depot after people were cooked to death, Qin Zesheng and the ordinary soldiers who entered the fortress couldn't help but feel strong in their hearts.  Big vomit.  After vomiting all the food in the stomach together with the acidic water,No one dared to stay inside any longer, and collectively turned around and ran out of this Japanese fortress that had become a ghost.

    Before he could vomit like his subordinates, he barely drank a sip of water to suppress the nausea that was still stirring in his heart from time to time, and regained some energy. A correspondent ran over, handed the newspaper in his hand to him and said: "Regiment  Commander, the commander has passed on order No. 1. Let us move south immediately, advance in the direction of the two-person squad, and cooperate with the troops commanded by Chief of Staff Sui to launch an attack on the Japanese Banjiehe fortress group. Commander Du will be here soon."
