    Sui Changqing didn't have many opinions when he deployed the two regiments left behind in Muling to the south.  If the troops going south can capture the Laosong Ridge line, it will be equivalent to advancing the entire defense line southward for dozens of kilometers.  Although there is only one regiment left in Muleng, it seems that the depth of defense is too shallow.  But this front line is a mountainous and forested area with high mountains and dense forests, leaving limited roads for the Japanese army to counterattack.

    Although the depth of the entire operation seems a bit too shallow, the combat effectiveness of the follow-up troops is also somewhat poor.  However, most of the area here is covered by primeval forests that block the sky and the sun, and the mountains are generally 700 to 800 meters high, which is quite advantageous for the defender.  The terrain here destined the Japanese army's counterattack scale and counterattack routes to be very limited.

    But Sui Changqing somewhat disagreed with the fact that the four battalions left behind in Tiaomi Mountain went directly south to the west of Laohei Mountain.  This is not to say that he is selfish, but the two regiments currently participating in the war have reached the point where they cannot do anything without supplementing them.  Although currently facing the remaining Japanese troops, these two regiments are likely to still have an advantage in terms of strength.  But this is only a theoretical possibility.

    And after all, it is an offensive operation. When the heavy artillery group can no longer provide sufficient fire support, facing the Japanese army's complete fortification group, the casualties of this attacking force will definitely not be too light.  Even if all these two regiments are not removed, they must at least be replenished with some troops.  As a superior, you can't destroy both regiments unnecessarily.

    And the most critical point is that Sui Changqing himself is not sure.  That is, the troops with only three battalions currently having actual combat effectiveness need to face how many remaining troops there are in the Dongning Fortress Group, and whether they really have a numerical advantage.  Because Sui Changqing had always suspected that the Japanese army's strength in the Dongning Fortress Group was far from the 1,500 people on paper.

    The reason is very simple. As the key direction for the Japanese army to prepare for attack, the density of Japanese troops in Dongning is almost the highest in the Northeast.  In addition to the 12th Division originally stationed in Dongning, the Kwantung Army also stationed the 8th Division, the 11th Division, the so-called border garrison and a large number of special agents in the Dongning and Muling areas.

    Although the main force of the Eighth Division has been defeated in Hulin, the main force of the Eleventh Division has also been completely destroyed in Baoqing.  However, according to the Japanese combat habits, the divisions invested in each battle are not fully organized.  Before going into combat, each group within its division structure will leave at least one squadron behind.

    In other words, it does not count the troops of the Twelfth Division that did not have time to evacuate and were divided and stranded in the fortress group.  After the various key points in Dongning were lost, there were at least three squadrons of Japanese troops from the Eighth Division alone who retreated to the Dongning Fortress Group.  If you add in the similar number of troops left behind by the 11th Division, as well as the large number of other military and police military and special forces in Dongning, which is a strong military base of the Kwantung Army, the Japanese troops in Dongning Fortress are definitely better than those in the First Border Guard.  The troops on paper only have a lot more strength.

    In addition, when attacking the Lumingtai and Suifenhe fortresses, due to the terrain restrictions close to the Soviet border, it was impossible to adopt the multi-circuit tactics that the troops were accustomed to adopting when attacking. As a result, when attacking these two fortress groups, the encirclement was never completed.  .

    Although they finally captured two fortress groups, they severely damaged the Japanese troops stationed in the fortresses.  However, there are still many fish that slipped through the net, and it is definitely not a total annihilation.  The Japanese Second and Tenth Border Guards garrisoned at Lumingtai Fortress and Suifenhe Fortress each had at least one or two squadrons.  As a result, there will be at least seven or eight more Japanese squadrons in the Dongning Fortress Group.

    When interrogating the Japanese prisoners of war of the Twelfth Division who were stragglers during the retreat, Sui Changqing already knew clearly that the Twelfth Division in this battle was not the same as the First Border Guard originally stationed in the Dongning Fortress Group.  , and other Japanese divisions under the command of the First Frontier Guards were defeated, and the two divided the defense zone.  The two are bounded by Suifen River. The northern part of the fortress group is responsible for the First Border Guard Corps, and the southern part is responsible for the 12th Division.

    Although it was learned through interrogation of prisoners of war that the Japanese First Border Guard Station stationed in the northern part of the fortress group only had a strength of 1,500 people, Sui Changqing clearly judged from the battles on the front lines of Shenghongshan, Xunshan, and Chaorishan that the Japanese army was only  The number of troops shown in the battles at the various fortress groups on the north bank of the Suifen River was at least about 3,000.

    And now, because it is impossible to go down to the inside of the Japanese military fortifications, it is impossible to count how many Japanese troops were wiped out in the previous battles.  It is impossible to count how many Japanese troops were wiped out, and it is impossible to completely understand the strength of the Japanese troops.  Once the actual strength of the Japanese troops in the entire fortress is as large as he imagined, according to the practice of general combat deployment, the remaining number will be at least a thousand.

    With three battalions equipped after a long battle, it can be said that the attacking force with a total of less than 3,000 people did not have an advantage when facing thousands of Japanese troops who had strong fortifications that could be used to defend themselves. Together with the attached artillery units, the attack force could not be said to have an advantage.  ???The Japanese army's fortification groups, even if they were all civil fortifications, greatly offset this numerical advantage.

    Seeing the hesitation on Sui Changqing's face, Du Kaishan, who knew what he was worried about, waved his hand and said: "Our only enemies in front of us now are Chaori Mountain, Mulu Mountain and Qingshilizi. Even if these Japanese troops are huddled together, the total strength is at most  Only six to seven hundred people."

    "Although we currently have a serious shortage of personnel except for the third regiment of the only brigade on the front line of Laoheishan in the south. Our first batch of the original fourth division three regiments to participate in the war can now only be reduced to one battalion, withdraw from the battle and withdraw to the east  At the junction of Ning and Tumen, we were resting and guarding the Japanese troops in Tumen. For us, our troops were also extremely empty."

    "But we still have four battalions on hand, with nearly 3,000 troops. And after the Japanese army lost the two major fortress groups of Shenghongshan and Xunshan in the north, we have an absolute advantage in artillery firepower. Even if  Although we can't say that we can attack the six to seven hundred Japanese troops who are huddled in Qingshilizi with only civil fortifications, there is still no big problem in eating them. "

    "Compared with us here, the pressure faced by Wang Xiaoming is much greater. He broke into Hunchun southward. Although it was only a shallow depth on the Wujiazi front line, he had to face the Japanese Fifty-seventh Division stationed in Hunchun. Now he retreats into Hunchun  "

    "The troops that Wang Xiaoming can mobilize are only two brigades that also suffered heavy casualties, as well as the armored brigade and the cavalry brigade whose strength was less than half of the pre-war strength. Faced with the siege of the Japanese army's absolutely superior force, tens of thousands of laborers and Japanese garrison troops had to be transferred  Fighting as a team, you can imagine the pressure on him.¡±

    "Now the First Column and the Fourth Column are both in Binjiang and Longjiang. Liu Changshun's place is a new recruit group, and its combat effectiveness is far from being formed. Once the Second Column is attacked by the Japanese in Hunchun, there will be no reinforcements except us for a short period of time.  Rather than reacting to reinforcements when the time comes, it is better to prepare for a rainy day now.¡±

    "We are going to have to intervene sooner or later anyway, so it is better to take action early and send some troops to assist the second column in fighting, so that we will not be passive when the time comes."

    Hearing Du Kaishan's somewhat idealistic deployment, Sui Changqing expressed his hesitation with a wry smile and said: "Commander, I know you know what I said. Isn't your deployment a bit too idealistic and  Are you talking about emotions? I'm not a selfish person, but Commander, with a force of only three battalions, facing a Japanese army that is probably about the same number and has strong fortifications to rely on, do you think we will win?  Are you sure?"

    "The fighting these days has surfaced. The number of Japanese troops in the entire Dongning Fortress Group, especially the fortress north of Miaogou, is definitely not the number of Japanese troops on paper we have collected. Its actual strength is at least higher than we expected.  One to two times more.¡±

    "If our two regiments are still intact even now, there is no need to worry. Our two regiments have 6,000 troops. Even if the Japanese army has solid fortifications to rely on, there will definitely not be any big problems."

    "But now you have to consider the actual situation of these two regiments. Since the first stage of the battle, the Sole Brigade has been fighting on the main battlefield as the main force. It has been fighting continuously for more than three months. Not to mention that it is already extremely tired.  The number of casualties is also quite high. Now the battalion-level cadres of the single brigade have basically been replaced, and the company-level cadres have been replaced twice or more. "

    "The troops suffered too many casualties, but the number of supplementary troops has never reached full strength. And since Dongjin attacked Dong'an and Mishan, it has not received any supplements. In addition, Miaoling, Lumingtai, Suifenhe and  The casualties of the continuous battles at Shenghongshan. Now, except for the third regiment, which is still barely intact, the remaining first and second regiments have been literally disabled. "

    "The total strength of the two regiments combined, even including the attached troops, is only four battalions. The actual combat soldiers can barely make up the strength of three battalions. You ask the troops of the three battalions to face  How confident are these three exhausted battalions that they can completely annihilate the Japanese army with roughly equal strength and possibly even more strength, and even defeat the greater number with less? "

    "I don't disagree with us supporting the second column, but commander, we must also consider our own difficulties. I think we need to supplement the strength of at least two battalions now to have full confidence in completely solving the Dongning Fortress Group.  The remaining Japanese troops."

    "Commander, this is my opinion after careful consideration. Please think about it carefully. I think it is impossible to completely solve our remaining Japanese troops simply by relying on the three existing battalions. I am not unfounded, nor am I aimless.  After these days of fightingCome on, I think based on your ability and sense of smell on the battlefield, you may not understand.  ".
