Text Chapter 345 Du Bei Yang¡¯s Judgment

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    According to his thinking and based on previous combat experience, although he only had one regiment of troops heading east, compared with the seven battalions and all the firepower that were concentrated in that battle, the troop and firepower invested were indeed too disparate.  Compared with the seven battalions, the strength of one battalion is far behind.

    But I don¡¯t have to eat any number of your troops. I can¡¯t eat an infantry brigade at a time. I can eat one or two squadrons in one battle. Is it possible to add up to a small amount? Even if the Japanese army coming to assist is an infantry brigade.  , then I don¡¯t have to annihilate them all, as long as they can be severely damaged, it can be considered a victory.

    Although my army does not have the energy to fight an offensive battle with an infantry battalion like the brothers of the Anti-Alliance Army, I only want you to stay away from Beipiao City. As for how much advantage I can take,  No matter how much you take, it¡¯s fine as long as you don¡¯t suffer any loss.

    As for the Japanese troops in Chaoyang City abandoning Chaoyang City and breaking out to Beipiao with all their strength, he was not worried about this possibility. Previously, an armored train in Chaoyang rushed out of Chaoyang Station and headed straight for Beipiao before he had a chance to surround him.  The incident gave him a wake-up call.

    So when he arrived at the outskirts of Chaoyang, he directly cut off one-third of the railway line from Chaoyang to Beipiao from Yugou to Mamigou. He didn't cut it all. First, he didn't have enough time, and second, he couldn't draw it.  Send out so many troops to do this kind of thing.

    In the Taihang old base area, these things are usually done by mobilizing ordinary people. In the old base area, as long as you say hello to the local government and local armed forces, thousands of ordinary people can be mobilized to participate. But now in western Liaoning, you can only rely on yourself.  There is not so much time left.

    However, although time is tight, manpower is insufficient, and the railway lines that need to be destroyed are relatively long, in the end it is because they often destroy railways, and they are called the old army of the road-breaking army by the people in North China. Their actions of breaking the railways are not only fast, but practice makes perfect.  , and quite professional.

    Coupled with the two engineering companies attached to the Anti-Japanese Alliance, the opinions provided in certain aspects, and some of the tools they carried, when destroying the railway, although they did not use the customs to destroy the railway, it was a 180-degree change.  They turned over, took away the rails and gave them to the arsenal, piled up the sleepers and burned them.

    However, under the advice of the engineer company commander of the Anti-Japanese League, many methods were adopted that could save time and significantly reduce the railway's carrying capacity. In the direction of Chaoyang, two rows of spikes on each sleeper on the railway were placed.  Unscrew them all every other one, and unscrew two-thirds of the remaining one. Also unscrew two-thirds of the fishplate spikes at the joints of the rails.

    After the roadbed was hollowed out, wood was placed inside, and then the outside was covered with gravel. The hollowed out distance was calculated, and a very thin earth wall was used as a temporary load-bearing in the middle. The entire hollowed out distance was just enough to fit a locomotive.  All bridges were also damaged to a certain extent.

    Blow up two-thirds of the main bridge pillars in the middle facing the east direction, and leave the remaining third standing there. He is skilled in the business, and with the engineer company commander trained by the Anti-League, the  A wide variety of wilted bars undermine ideas, and their methods of destruction can be described as diverse.

    When the train is running, if you don't get off the train and look closely, you won't be able to tell that the railway has been damaged. However, once the train is running on it, there is only one consequence, and that is a 100% derailment. As long as the railway line is blocked, Chaoyang's Japanese army will forcefully retreat to Beipiao.  , you can also stop them in the direction you choose.

    Therefore, after leaving the main force under Chaoyang City and leaving half of the light and heavy machine guns captured in the Sihan River Basin, he personally commanded a regiment of troops and continued to attack northeast, directly entering Daban Town and cutting off the Japanese army from entering.  The channel for reinforcements from Yixian County to Beipiao.

    What he didn't expect was that as soon as he commanded the troops to arrive at Daban, an important town in southern Beipiao, they would encounter two infantry squadrons deployed by the Japanese army from Yixian.  A small-scale but far-reaching battle broke out at a key point on the Jincheng Railway 13 kilometers from the county seat.

    The scale of this battle was not large, but it made two Japanese lieutenant generals, Washizu Jinhei and Yokoyama Shizuo, break into cold sweats. On the Daban line in the south of Beipiao, the sudden appearance of enemy troops made the two of them jump to each other.  Everyone believed that the enemy was going to execute beheading tactics and first attack Beipiao, where the military headquarters was located.

    While breaking out in a cold sweat, facing a situation with no troops to maneuver, the two men were helpless. With enemy troops appearing on the front line, Yixian and Jinzhou troops would not be able to reinforce them unless they gave up Chaoyang and mobilized heavy troops from Fuxin.  Return reinforcements, otherwise the entire western Liaoning battlefield will now have no troops to rescue Beipiao.

    With nothing to do, Lieutenant General Washijin Seppei could only order the armored train escorting the Chaoyang troops to Beipiao to be dispatched immediately, because the armored train that had just arrived in Beipiao had not yet got off the train.The two squadrons, escorted by armored vehicles, immediately went south to re-open the Daban front line and receive reinforcements from Yixian and Jinzhou.

    As for the troops on the front line in Fuxin, the command power is no longer under the jurisdiction of Lieutenant General Washizu Jinpei. After the entire western Liaoning battlefield started, Lieutenant General Meizu Yoshijiro directly transferred the troops stationed on the front line from Fuxin to Beizhen and Heishan to the Second Kwantung Army.  The 15th Division was commanded by Lieutenant General Chichai Yazozo and was placed under the direct jurisdiction of the Kwantung Army Headquarters.

    In other words, Lieutenant General Washizu Jinhei can only command the troops west of Fuxin, and the command from Fuxin east to Fengtian, which is the main force of the 25th Division, is now in the hands of Umezu Yoshijiro.  , these troops were numerous, accounting for a quarter of his original troops.

    But now he can no longer mobilize his troops, and without this quarter of his troops, it will have a considerable impact on his entire follow-up deployment of the battle. The war is progressing smoothly, and although these troops are not needed, right now  The war situation was progressing, but it was not going smoothly. Without these troops, Washijin Seppei's entire deployment was undoubtedly greatly restricted.

    Now there are only two options in front of Lieutenant General Washi Jin. One is to order the troops on the Jianping battlefield to break out at all costs and go south to reinforce the Beipiao battlefield. Even if the troops participating in the battle can withdraw two infantry brigades,  It is a help to Beipiao battlefield.

    But this hope is undoubtedly very elusive now, because although it is not easy to attack, it is not easy to retreat, especially when the enemy's strength on the northeast battlefield of Jianping is still barely dominant, the troops who penetrate deep behind the enemy lines want to  It's so easy to retreat smoothly.

    Either give up Beipiao or Chaoyang, and bring the forces of Beipiao and Chaoyang together to ensure a certain need. However, whether it is to give up Chaoyang or give up Beipiao, it will undoubtedly be a difficult task for Lieutenant General Jiujin Yuhei.  It is no longer necessary to say more about the choice of Beipiao and the importance of Beipiao. If you give up Beipiao, General Umezu Yoshijiro will not be able to pass.

    However, although Chaoyang does not produce coal, it is an important link connecting the two strategic groups of the Japanese army inside and outside the Chinese battlefield. The entire strategic position is extremely important, and it is the gateway to Jinzhou and Rehe. If Chaoyang is lost, the Kwantung Army will  Redong's only control areas, Lingyuan and Jianping, are equivalent to giving up. Giving up the two counties is a very tangled matter for Lieutenant General Jiujin Qianping at the moment.

    However, Major General Watanabe Hiroshi, the chief of staff of the Fourth Army, did not agree with the judgment of Lieutenant General Washizu Jinhei. Based on past intelligence and judgment of the entire battle situation, he believed that while the Jianhei battlefield was still fiercely fighting,  It is impossible for the enemy to invade western Liaoning on a large scale, which means that the enemy's current actions in western Liaoning can only be diversionary and harassing at best.

    Distracting the Fourth Army's attention from the Jianping battlefield, the Fourth Army was unable to reinforce the Jianping battlefield. As for completely capturing the Yebaishou, Chaoyang, and Beipiao lines, judging from the amount of troops they currently invest on the battlefield, it is still not possible.  It is not enough to pose a fundamental threat. In other words, on these two points, its military strength is more than bluffing, but its actual hard-fighting ability is insufficient.

    And even if it is won, it will be difficult to hold it after the war situation stabilizes. Judging from the entire war situation in Manchuria, the enemy's current strength is not enough to support the penetration into the western Liaoning area. Even considering the post-war pattern, its  It is also impossible to deploy a large number of troops in western Liaoning.

    Major General Watanabe Hiroshi believed that his judgment was very well-founded. He believed that with the current strength of the Fourth Army facing the enemy, which was only one division plus two brigades, it was still necessary to ensure the safety of the areas under its control in Rehe.  Under this situation, it was impossible to complete the offensive on the entire western Liaoning battlefield.

    As the connection between Western Manchuria, Chahar, and Suiyuan battlefields, Rehe is so important to the entire war situation that it cannot completely ignore the safety of Rehe and invest all its forces on the Rehe battlefield.  The battlefield in western Liaoning, so the enemy's existing forces invested in the battlefield in western Liaoning are, at best, nothing more than harassment to Beipiao and Chaoyang.

    If they really want to completely occupy Beipiao and Chaoyang, they need to add at least one more division to their strength. This is still according to the standards of the old resistance alliance. As for their so-called advancing army, they need at least three to five brigades of strength.  , and now, they simply cannot afford so many troops.

    Especially in the Jianping battlefield in the northwest, there is still a stalemate, and the forces that can be invested in Beipiao and Chaoyang are even more limited. Although this enemy force has now occupied Ye Baishou, it is not enough to threaten  Safety to Chaoyang and Beipiao.

    After all, Ye Baishou's garrison originally only had a Japanese squadron, plus the Manchurian armed police and part of the Manchurian Railway Guard Corps. Although after losing contact on the Jianping West battlefield, Jiujin Qianping quickly mobilized some troops for reinforcements, but in  On Ye Baishou's local battlefield, the enemy still had the upper hand in terms of strength comparison.

    But now Chaoyang and Beipiao,Not only did the defenders have far more troops than Ye Baishou, but the defensive fortifications in the two places were complete, and the number of Manchurian policemen was also far greater than that of Ye Baishou. These people did not have the ability to fight in the field, but they still had the ability to hide in the fortifications and shoot outside.

    And although the number of defenders in the two places is not too large, the amount of ammunition is extremely sufficient.

    As long as they can't hold on, unless the enemy forces attack one point at all costs, the troops invested in the two battlefields will only ensure harassment outside the city, and they will not be able to launch attacks on Beipiao and Chaoyang at the same time.  Judging from the enemy's movements when they arrived outside Chaoyang and Beipiao cities, it seemed that they were not very willing to attack the cities by force.

    What Du Beiyang means is that the current situation has not deteriorated to such an unmanageable level. The enemy forces around Chaoyang and Beipiao City are only two infantry regiments and three infantry battalions. Their strength is not enough to attack the two cities at the same time.  Moreover, the two enemy armies are organized differently, and their units belong to two different organizations.

    Although generally speaking, there has been no situation of fighting independently so far. The two armies with different organizational systems cooperate very well on the battlefield. However, there are obvious differences in the combat effectiveness and equipment of the two armies, and they have different organizational systems.  , I am afraid that the command may not be so smooth at the critical moment. This is undoubtedly a fatal hidden danger in the enemy's deployment on any battlefield.
