Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Bayuquan is the only place on the west line of the Liaodong Peninsula leading to Lushunkou in the south. It is the blocking area for the 1st Brigade Scenery Flag Unit of the 29th Corps of the Independent Division. It is also a key point that the Japanese army will fight to the death.

    Jing Zhanqi was full of confidence. He represented the 29th Corps. Before setting off from Yantai Port in Shandong Peninsula, the commander, Major General Li Honggang, reinforced the heavy artillery regiments and rocket launcher battalions of several other brigades in the Corps.  Three brigades in the Liaodong Peninsula.

    In the words of Major General Li Honggang, commander of the 29th Corps, "You are going to the battlefield on the Liaodong Peninsula on behalf of the 29th Corps. You cannot let other brother troops laugh at us for being shabby. The heavy equipment has been doubled, but if you come, if we do it again  If it doesn¡¯t work well

    Li Honggang did not say anything else, but the three brigade commanders who went to the battlefield on the Liaodong Peninsula knew very well that if the battle did not go well, they would not come back at all. Weapons and equipment are important factors on the battlefield. Since the commander has  If so, why are you so polite? Just pick the one and bring it with you!

    Therefore, the first brigade of Jingzhan Banner alone, not counting the original brigade's heavy artillery regiment, a rocket launcher battalion and the artillery battalions of each regiment, has been strengthened with a heavy artillery regiment and two medium-caliber artillery artillery battalions.  In addition to a rocket launcher battalion, in terms of heavy equipment alone, the first brigade at this time has firepower that can match a Japanese division.

    Liu Hanzhang, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Liaodong Peninsula Theater, did a good job in frontline logistics work and prepared enough ammunition and supplies for the frontline troops. Therefore, Jing Zhanqi had the capital and confidence to fight a lavish battle.  Especially the division commander and division commander, after withdrawing from Bayuquan, he was even more worried!

    The tactical deployment of Jingzhanqi.  It is very unique. The core point is to use powerful firepower to inflict unexpected and heavy damage to the Japanese army, so as to reduce the pressure for the subsequent blocking war. For this reason.  He ordered his artillery units to form three artillery groups according to the caliber and range of the artillery.  According to the configuration of shallow, medium and deep respectively, the artillery fire coverage should reach all areas from Shuangtai to Xiaoshiliu, with a width of 18 kilometers.

    And an area of ??18 kilometers wide.  It is the passage that the Japanese army must pass through when attacking Bayuquan.  Each artillery group was pre-set to fire at each element, and the range of the artillery attack was determined. Moreover, contrary to convention, the artillery group composed of two heavy artillery regiments was responsible for cutting off the Japanese army's retreat. The medium-caliber artillery battalion affiliated to each regiment was responsible for shelling the Japanese army's march.  Army column.  A close-combat artillery group composed of mortars, equipped with a large number of heavy machine guns.  Responsible for intercepting the advancing Japanese soldiers.

    The deployment of Jing Zhanqi turned the entire Bayuquan area, a must-pass area for the Japanese army, into a huge ambush circle covered by artillery fire. In his words during a meeting with the artillery commanders of each artillery group, "The brigade headquarters issued a unified order  , the front-line infantry launched an initial blockade, delaying the advance of the Japs and allowing them to concentrate as much as possible. Then, each artillery group fired according to the pre-arrangement, and the number of shells was not limited. In a word, you can fight hard, which is to eliminate  The best chance for the Japanese army to gain strength will be gone from next time!¡±

    Jing Zhanqi's deployment was tight and his net was open. He was waiting for the Japanese troops advancing on the western front to hit him head-on. He was not worried. A brigade of troops was concentrated on the Bayuquan front line, waiting to be noticed by the Japanese troops. "The little devil is in a hurry."  Rapidly advancing towards the southern part of the Liaodong Peninsula, even if they know that there are independent division troops defending here, they will still attack desperately after being blocked!" He thought.

    The 34th Brigade of the 109th Division of the Japanese Army on the Western Front, as the vanguard of the division, was the first to hit the large net of Jingzhan Banner. As expected, a large-scale compound bombardment lasted for more than a month.  Hours later, more than 100,000 artillery shells of various calibers hit the 34th Brigade. The ground shook, smoke filled the air, fire broke out, shrapnel roared, and the area covered by artillery fire became a hell on earth.

    The 34th Brigade was bombarded so violently. The artillery shells fired by the independent division were so dense that the explosion points could overlap. The blue smoke emitted from the muzzle steamed up like clouds and filled half of the sky.  Under such intensive artillery fire, the Japanese army in a marching posture did not even have the ability to fight back. The mortars and Type 92 infantry guns were still mounted on the backs of the pack mules, and they were broken into pieces before they could be removed in time.  parts.

    Artillery shells rained down, and there was no safe blind spot in the shelling area. This was another consequence of the incompatibility of battlefield intelligence. The first and second detachments of the Kwantung Army suffered losses on the right wing of the 109th Division. The commander thought of Chiang Kai-shek's situation.  The report was reported to the Kwantung Army headquarters, but unexpectedly, it was reported to the neighboring 109th Division in time. This is a chronic problem of the Japanese army.

    After leaving behind thousands of mutilated corpses, a large number of baggage and wounded soldiers, they were forced to retreat to the Lugang area. In more than an hour, the 34th Brigade was beaten to half a disability, but not even one independent soldier was beaten.  The edge of the division's blocking position was not even touched. Jing Zhanqi rejected the offensive regiment leader's suggestion to pursue the victory and ordered the troops to stand firm. He knew that this Japanese army would be beaten.They were half disabled, but there was still a brigade of Japanese troops close to the right wing less than fifteen kilometers away.

    The 35th Brigade of the 109th Division was also attacked head-on by the Second Brigade and the First Section of the 3rd Brigade of the 29th Corps at the Kuangdonggou line. They also suffered heavy losses and retreated in embarrassment. On this day,  From Zhuanghe to Bayuquan, the front was more than 170 kilometers long, from east to west, with continuous artillery fire and gunshots. On this day, the three-pronged Japanese advancing troops suffered heavy losses to varying degrees.

    At this point, the blocking positions from Zhuanghe to Bayuquan designed by Tang Qiuli exchanged fire with the Japanese army across the entire line. The defensive forces in various places achieved different results and firmly blocked the Japanese army. What followed was the independent division in the central Liaodong Peninsula.  The large number of troops assembled could no longer be concealed, and the intention to block the Japanese army was fully exposed.

    After receiving battle reports from various frontline troops, Tang Qiuli, who set up a headquarters in Jiuzhai Town, looked at the telegrams with great interest, sometimes shaking his head and smiling, sometimes thinking deeply. However, judging from his expression, he  The mood is very comfortable.

    In the same blocking battle, the six brigades on the front line each have different fighting styles. They can be said to be full of clever tricks. Six, no, including the new brigade commander Meng Jianzhu, there are seven brigade commanders who can block the blocking battle.  Tang Qiuli could only console himself with so many tricks in the battle. He could only comment on Jing Zhanqi's fighting style in two words: "Ruthless enough!" As for the blocking battle in the direction of Guiyunhua Town, he turned the blocking battle into a pursuit battle.  The two captains of the regiment, he just said, "You are so brave!"

    Against Meng Jianzhu in the direction of Wulu Town, he beat a Japanese brigade to a bloody head without using heavy artillery. He laughed repeatedly and said to Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe: "This Meng Jianzhu, he has also learned to stay.  As a backup, the main target of the Japanese army on the eastern front is Zhuanghe County. Fierce fighting is still to come. It is a mature and prudent strategy to have some backup! "

    What Zhao Yuhe thought of was another question, "Commander, in this way, our front-line troops in the central Liaodong Peninsula will no longer have any secrets. So many troops suddenly appeared. The Commander-in-Chief of the Kwantung Army  Knowing that nothing could be done, would Umezu Yoshijiro retreat and order the three Japanese troops to retreat quickly? From the Japanese army's raid on the Liaodong Peninsula, we can judge that this Umezu Yoshijiro is an experienced veteran! "

    "Also, according to the report of the Aviation Joint Command, radar stations across the Korean Peninsula have discovered that a large number of Japanese fighter planes have recently arrived in Northeast Japan from the mainland of Japan. The number is nearly a thousand. But why did they appear before today's battle?  But not a single one appeared?¡±

    Tang Qiuli looked at the military map of the Liaodong Peninsula and said: "We don't have to worry about the appearance of Japanese aviation in the Northeast battlefield. Liu Cuigang and Le Yiqin are more concerned about it than their commanders. They are their opponents!"  I¡¯m afraid, these two people are already drooling at this big piece of fat!¡±

    "For your first question, I might as well tell you that all four divisions of the Japanese Third Army have entered the central area of ??the Liaodong Peninsula, and their 107th and 109th Divisions have already fought against us. Forget it.  The two Kwantung Army detachments on the middle road, and the 69th Division and the 73rd Division that followed, have also passed the Gaizhou and Andong lines, and Umezu Yoshijiro is now unable to stop him! "

    "If he orders the Japanese troops to withdraw across the entire line, then they will face a full-line pursuit by our seven brigades from Zhuanghe to Bayuquan. We will also have to worry about the interception by six brigades commanded by Han Tie on the battlefield in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula.  Umezu Yoshijiro is indeed experienced. The Kwantung Army troops gathered south of Fengtian were organized into four detachments. Two of them were transferred to the border area between China and North Korea in order to block Han Tie's troops from stealing his retreat.  possible!¡±

    "So, I judge that not only will Umezu Yoshijiro not order the Japanese troops to retreat, but he will mobilize all the 69th Division and 73rd Division behind him to launch a fierce attack on our blocking line, and with Han Tie  The troops were scrambling for time. Only in this way could they escape from the dangerous situation of being attacked from both sides and penetrate deep into the central part of the Liaodong Peninsula. The retreat route was hundreds of kilometers long. Did it mean that they could retreat if they retreated? Umezu Yoshijiro's vision was vicious and his target was very precise.  Accurate, but the appetite is too big!¡±

    After a pause, Tang Qiuli looked at Zhao Yuhe and said: "Yuhe, back then, the three brigades of the Marine Corps defeated the line from Gaizhou to Andong. Then, the Japanese army launched a full-scale pursuit. From then on, Umezu Yoshijiro  It is destined to bury the Third Army in the Liaodong Peninsula, eliminate the mobile strength of this Kwantung Army, and launch an all-out campaign to regain the Northeast."

    "Yuhe, give an order to Han Tie. Your troops will immediately leave Tokugawa. With a brave attack, break through the blocking of the third and fourth detachments of the Kwantung Army, quickly seize all key points from Anton to Gaizhou, and cut off the Japanese army's third  The three armies retreated to Fengtian!"
