Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After analyzing the previous battle situation in detail, Lee Myung-bak directly told the frontline commanders not to be afraid if the organization was disrupted. He told the troops to fight wherever there was gunfire, and to fight wherever there were Japanese troops. The sound of gunfire was an order, and the enemy was a signal.  , Only when the Japanese army is in disarray can we attack and defeat the enemy face to face in the shortest possible time. If the Japanese army is allowed to huddle together, it will actually increase the difficulty of annihilating the enemy.

    Compared with Lee Myung-bak's subordinates, Colonel Kobayashijima was not so lucky. Many attempts to gather the troops scattered throughout the valley, and even outside the valley in front of him, always failed because of the chaotic fighting.  The enemy and ourselves were too tight-lipped and ended in failure. His immediate boss, Lieutenant General Yokoyama Shizuo, was very dissatisfied with his current situation and called him many times to severely reprimand him.

    However, Colonel Kobayashijimaji, who does not have an advantage in terms of military strength, no matter how hard he tries, the troops around him can never exceed the size of a squadron. If the squadron around him seizes a small hill and desperately resists the enemy troops rushing around,  I'm afraid that my headquarters will be scattered.

    Colonel Kobayashi Shimaji still couldn't figure out where this resistance force came from. He was planning to ambush them, so how could he be caught off guard by them? Two infantry brigades were divided.  In the two ravines separated by a ridge, not only have they been unable to get closer despite repeated efforts, but the two infantry brigades themselves are also being divided.

    On the entire battlefield, the situation between the enemy and us is that there is me among you, you among me, you fight me, and I fight you. In the two valleys, there are fierce battles everywhere, and the only way to talk is to fight.  What's more, the commanding heights of the entire battlefield are in their own hands.

    However, the follow-up troops could not move up, and the infantry and artillery could not be transported up. We could only watch helplessly as the defenders on the commanding heights were suppressed by the enemy's oblique firepower.  The five heavy machine guns hardly played any role. Instead, three of them were blown up in a short period of time by the enemy's oddly accurate mortar shells fired from the anti-slope position.

    Although his troops are being rushed everywhere and the enemy's troops are no better, in terms of the overall situation, this style of play obviously puts him at a disadvantage because of his inferior strength. In order to gather the scattered troops, Xiaolindao  With the balance of the battlefield already tilted a bit, Commander Si didn't even dare to rely on the commanding heights he controlled and turned to defensive operations.

    What makes Colonel Kobayashi Shimaji even more troublesome is that the attached Puppet Manchukuo Iron Stone Force was defeated and dispersed in one blow. Even the Kwantung Army could not suppress the collapse of this army. If he had not made a decisive decision to deal with the collapse,  The soldiers opened fire, and maybe their troops were disrupted in formation. Their performance was completely different from their original performance on the so-called Redong battlefield.

    When this so-called iron and stone force, which Lieutenant General Washizu Seppei had high hopes for, was defeated as soon as the battle started and dispersed as soon as the battle started, Colonel Kobayashi Shimaji understood that what happened in Redong a month ago  On the battlefield, this army was not only defeated by its troops, but also its backbone was broken.

    As a puppet army, this so-called iron and stone army itself is a soulless army. Colonel Kobayashi Shimaji saw this very clearly. An army without a soul, an army without the spirit of Bushido as its backing, arrived on the battlefield.  It can only be a pile of rubbish that cannot be supported.

    This army still has combat effectiveness. The reason why it can be maintained is that, like their so-called Manchukuo, it relies on the bayonets and high pressure of the Kwantung Army. I am afraid that a large number of Japanese officers who are the backbone of this army have strict control over this army.  Control strength and mastery.

    If the empire has an advantage on the battlefield, the Manchu officers and soldiers in this army will work hard for the empire and the Kwantung Army for the sake of glory and wealth. Once the empire is defeated and the situation turns to a disadvantage, then this army will definitely find an opportunity to rebel and fight against the enemy.  They may not dare to fight the Communist army.

    The hands of these people are stained with the blood of the Communist army. Whether it is the Anti-Japanese Alliance in the Northeast or the Eighteenth Army in the mainland of China, many people died at the hands of this army. When they fought against the Communist army, they did not know how to do it.  If there is a way out, they will definitely fight to the death, but if they fight the Chongqing government army, I am afraid it will be good if this army does not bite back the Kwantung Army.

    Although he has long had this view and looks down on this armed force in his heart, he always believes that as long as the Japanese officers as the backbone are still in control of the army, this army will not behave too outrageously, and now it is facing the Communist army.  In combat, they are still trustworthy. The Battle of Redong some time ago also proved this.

    The battle turned out to be a good one. Not only did the Manchu officers take the lead in escaping after the battle started, but they disappeared without a trace without noticing. Even the Japanese officers not only did not suppress the deserters, but also followed them and retreated, facing the defeated army in one breath.  Even after killing several officers, it did not stop this so-called iron and stone tribe.The collapse not only failed to have any effect, but almost failed to overwhelm the Japanese troops.

    The only thing I can count on now is the two original Japanese infantry brigades under my command. As for the remnants of the so-called iron and stone troops, they are not as strong as the final total collapse. Don't cause any more trouble to yourself on the battlefield.  That's enough.

    But in the eyes of some people in the Kwantung Army, even in the eyes of Lieutenant General Washijin Zhenhei, the combat effectiveness of this force is not inferior to those of the Puppet Manchukuo iron and stone troops with too many security divisions and garrison teams, so that the troops he can mobilize are directly  One-third less, this result left him with even more difficulties in adjusting and deploying his troops when facing the superior strength of the alliance.

    Although he persisted in fighting against the Anti-Japanese Alliance, the more he fought against Kobayashi Daoji, the more frightened he became. After the Puppet Manchukuo Tieshi troops were defeated in one blow, his troop strength gradually decreased as the number of casualties increased.  The situation on the battlefield on the other side of the ridge was unknown except for the intensive sound of gunfire.

    But even though he knew that if he continued to fight according to the current tactics, he would eventually face only a little bit of the depletion of troops, but Colonel Kobayashi Shimaji still did not dare to adjust the overall offensive tactics, because he knew that if he once  The ground turned to defense. According to the current battlefield situation, the two brigades waiting for him and the two brigades he commanded with fewer troops could only face the fate of being completely divided and encircled.

    Even if he knew that fighting against the enemy would only increase his casualties, he could only bite the bullet and continue to fight against the enemy in front of him. If he continued to fight against the enemy, he might still have a chance to gather his troops.  If you enter the defense, the entire army will be divided into pieces.

    After cursing the so-called iron and stone troops 10,000 times, which is nothing but bullshit, now he can only hope that those few straggler squads can find the battlefield this morning, but those few straggler infantry squads, after all,  Colonel Kobayashijimaji had no idea when he would arrive on the battlefield.

    The low quality of the officers who had been recruited before was fully exposed in this sneak attack. On the march route from Chaoyang to the northwest of Jianping, which was less than a hundred kilometers long, several small groups actually fell behind.  Even if he couldn't contact or find anyone, this made Colonel Kobayashijima very speechless.

    You must know that these people are equipped with compasses and detailed military maps, and they can actually lead their own teams and fall behind during a march that is not long. This phenomenon was almost impossible before.  , but now it happened.

    During this day and night of rapid march, there were seven or eight infantry and heavy machine gun squads left behind along the way, which is equivalent to the strength of two infantry squadrons. Without encountering any battle, two infantrymen were lost.  The combat effectiveness of the squadron. As for when these two infantry squadrons can arrive on the battlefield, the current Colonel Kobayashijima can only pray that it is not too late and that he does not have time to collect the corpses for himself.

    Just eleven hours after a melee broke out in the northeastern battlefield of Jianping, which had been relatively silent for more than a month in the western Liaoning battlefield, in the southwest of Jianping County, the anti-Japanese coalition marched toward Zhang Yingzi.  The first line of the advancing army interspersed with the front line of the Seoul River, and a detachment arranged by Jiujin Qinping to intersect behind the Anti-Japanese Alliance met at the front line of the Seoul River.

    Although both armies were prepared for battle during the crossing, they were not prepared for the large enemy situation that suddenly appeared in front of them. It was different from the direction of the northeastern battlefield of Jianping. The resistance in that direction had already been obtained by capturing deserters from the Iron Stone Forces of the Puppet Manchukuo Army.  Intelligence, and psychological preparation before entering the war.

    But in this direction, it was a completely different story. It turned into a complete encounter. Whether it was a brigade participating in a circuitous advance, or a detachment of Japanese troops inserting behind the Anti-Japanese Alliance, the commanders of both sides were in their vanguard.  When encountering the opponent's vanguard force, they all thought that the enemy force was just a small guard force.

    However, the brigade commander of the advancing army who commanded this direction was a veteran of the Red Army. He had extremely rich experience in dealing with such mountain encounters. As early as the first encounter between the vanguard and the Japanese vanguard, he fought to the death from the vanguard of the Japanese army.  As well as the intensive heavy machine gun fire coming from the side and rear, it immediately showed that something was wrong with the enemy in front of them.

    However, without knowing exactly how many enemy troops there were, he did not dare to act hastily. After immediately commanding the troops to seize the surrounding commanding heights while most of the Japanese troops were far away from the leading troops, he immediately commanded the troops to start from  The two wings surrounded him.

    In terms of his character, since he has already encountered the enemy, the overall intention of intervening has been exposed, and the Japanese army has been alerted, then for the time being, he should not worry about where the Japanese army came from, and fight first. The commanding heights are now there.  In his own hands, even if the Japanese army comes as a unit, there is nothing to worry about.

    The most importantFortunately, this brigade commander who has a big picture view knows that if he lets this group of Japanese troops go, judging from their direction and momentum, no matter where their target is, it will bring considerable damage to the overall deployment of his superiors.  A big threat, no matter how many enemy troops come, you have to stay here.

    The Japanese army will not have nothing to do at this time. They will send a unit to move northwest from this direction. The appearance of such a Japanese army here at this time will definitely not be without purpose. Let such a unit come to this direction to relax. From here  Judging from the equipment and tactical movements of this unit, they all look like veterans. Once this situation comes out, even a sweep will be absolutely impossible.

    If this group of Japanese troops are allowed to break through their own blockade, then the flanks of the troops on the battlefield in Jianping County will be exposed. The troops that are attacking Jianping County will face a situation of enemy forces attacking from the front and rear. If they choose to go northwest  Interspersed, then Chifeng, which is currently empty of troops, will also be in danger.

    There is the logistics base for the entire Redong and Liaoxi battlefields. Not only does it have a large amount of materials, ammunition and food, but also the wounded who were injured in the previous Redong battle. Once Chifeng is lost, the loss will not be a problem of the frontline troops being cut off.  Rather, the entire army will face the risk of running out of food and ammunition supplies.
