Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Major General Han Tie, commander of the Marine Corps, has completely understood the gist of the order from division commander Tang Qiuli. The more than 100,000 troops under his command will be a sharp knife inserted into the back of the Japanese army in the Liaodong Peninsula. It is not unsheathed yet.  The heat has not yet come, but when it comes, it will be the killing blow that will kill the little devil.

    Therefore, during the two days of concealment and standby, Han Tie did not dare to slack off at all and was very busy. On the one hand, the troops needed to replenish a large amount of materials and ammunition. The logistics supply line from Incheon Port to Tokugawa was more than 200 kilometers long.  Moreover, the road condition was not in good condition, so he exchanged many telegrams with Major General Zhou Yushan, the deputy director of the division's logistics department and director of the Peking Joint Service Department, and fought a lawsuit to win priority for supplies to his troops.  convenient.

    On the other hand, in the Beidaifeng area north of Tokugawa, sufficient work still needs to be done. The remaining thousands of remaining little Japs cannot be killed immediately, lest they alert the top brass of the Japanese army. Therefore, he gave the special forces with full power to command the operations.  Qi Hanzhi, chief of staff of the battle detachment, sent a telegram telling him that encircling but not fighting would continue to create the illusion that hundreds of thousands of troops were besieging the remaining Japanese troops. He would wait for his orders when to fight.

    To be specific, he was waiting for the order from the division commander. For this reason, Han Tie also had another verbal dispute with Chu Tian, ??the leader of the special operations detachment, trying to persuade Qi Hanzhi to stay and take charge of the command. Han Tie was still reluctant to let Qi Hanzhi return to the team.  , Chu Tian was also not very satisfied, "Hey, brother! My chief of staff and more than 300 people have been given to you for more than ten days in vain. It's time to return them to me. I also need manpower here.  !" But Han Tie brought out the division commander's telegram.  Chu Tian accepted his fate.

    On the second day of hiding and on standby, the division commanded the Intelligence Division and sent information to Han Tie.  "It has been found that along the border between China and North Korea, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Kwantung Army, General Yoshijiro Umezu, has deployed two detachments with approximately 28,000 troops, with the intention of warning and blocking your troops from crossing China and North Korea.  Operation Borderline!" Behind the Intelligence.  Attached are the third and fourth detachments of the Kwantung Army, with their specific defense areas and locations.

    The content of the information is concise and comprehensive, with this information.  Han Tie knew the deployment of the Kwantung Army troops very well. He clicked his lips and light waves flowed in his eyes.  He said to the Chief of Staff, Colonel Wang Dongshan: "It seems impossible to advance secretly. The detour is too far, and we still need to fight!"

    Wang Dongshan said: "The two detachments have less than 30,000 Kwantung Army troops, and they are definitely not our opponents. The key to the problem is that according to the content of the division's command, once our troops start taking action, they will have to march in succession to seize Anton.  All key points on the front line to Gaizhou are cutting off the Japanese troops' retreat in the Liaodong Peninsula, so we cannot be entangled by this part of the Japanese army, and we cannot even delay it!"

    With that said, Wang Dongshan walked to the military map and said, "Moreover, if we want to quickly cross the China-North Korea border, there are several key points that cannot be avoided, namely Jiulian City, Gulouzi, Taiping Bay, Hushan,  Uiju, Yongcheon and other places, and these six key points, according to intelligence, are the key defensive areas of the Kwantung Army. They must be attacked, but how to attack them will not affect the speed of the troops' advancement, but also quickly open the passage.  But it¡¯s quite a nerve-wracking thing.¡±

    Han Tie thought for a while and said to Wang Dongshan: "Chief of Staff, don't discuss it with us. I think a military meeting will be held immediately. All officers above the regiment level will come to participate and brainstorm ideas!"

    Before the military meeting began, the head of the communications department of the headquarters sent an urgent telegram from the division commander, "The interception battle in the central Liaodong Peninsula has ended successfully. The four divisions of the Japanese Third Army and the First and Second Kwantung Army  The detachment, under my powerful artillery fire and aerial bombardment, suffered heavy casualties and was completely defeated. It fled towards the front line from Anton to Gaizhou. All the troops in our blocking line have already pursued it. I order your troops to set off immediately to seize the front line of Anton.  All key points on the Gaizhou front line block the Japanese army¡¯s retreat!¡±

    "Bang!" Han Tie slapped the table and said, "Chief of Staff, this battle is easy to fight. Just in time, we need to hold a military meeting to directly deploy the battle plan and convey the orders of the division commander!"

    Wang Dongshan squinted his eyes and asked, "Commander, how are you going to fight?"

    Han Tie smiled and said: "Our six brigades are divided into six routes to advance, which correspond to the six key points of the defense of the two detachments of the Kwantung Army on the China-North Korea border. My plan is that each brigade will use a regiment of troops to specifically  The remaining troops of the Kwantung Army, who are blocking the road, will get rid of the Japs and seize key points along the line from Anton to Gaizhou. In this way, neither will be delayed, and a local strength advantage will be formed in each direction of attack! "

    Wang Dongshan agreed with Han Tie's combat plan, but he raised another question, "Commander, although this is careful, there is a problem. Use two brigades of troops to attack the third and fourth detachments of the Kwantung Army. We will cut off  There are only four brigades left in the Japanese retreat. The line from Gaizhou to Andong is nearly 300 kilometers wide. The strength of the four brigades isIs it weaker?  "

    Han Tie laughed and said: "The strength of four brigades is enough to cut off the retreat of the little Japanese. I only came up with this idea after seeing the order from the division commander. Listen, the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties and has been defeated.  They are fleeing across the board, with ground artillery fire and aerial bombardment. How many of the Japs are left now? Besides, our troops are still pursuing them. As long as we can block the Japs for a day and a night, it will be enough!"

    Wang Dongshan thought about it carefully and realized that this was really the case. It was rare for such a description to appear in the telegram from the division commander. In fact, the casualties of the Japanese army may be more serious, "Yes, Commander, and, our  The troops are not arranged in a line, but can be relatively concentrated and block the only way for the Japanese army to pass!" He also became happy and said.

    After the military meeting began, Han Tie said straight to the point without any nonsense: "After receiving the order from the division commander, the troops immediately left Tokugawa and quickly occupied the line from Anton to Gaizhou. They maintained it for two or three days, but they were holding back their energy!  The troops will set off immediately! Next, the chief of staff will announce the battle plan!"

    Wang Dongshan concisely laid out the marching sequence and the plan to break through the blocking force of the Kwantung Army. Han Tie took over and said: "Time is urgent, I won't be wordy. Each brigade will stay to fight the Kwantung Army's blocking force. I only ask for one thing.  No matter how you fight, these little devils must not affect the marching speed of the main force. Of course, it is best if you can eat them in one bite. You still have a chance to participate in the battle to cut off the little devils' retreat! "

    "If the battle is sticky and you can't blame others, just stay here and deal with the little devils. If there is a little devil running behind me on the battlefield you are responsible for, hum! We have an account to settle.  You, the regiment leader, should stop being the leader! The meeting is over and the troops will move in immediately, and the headquarters will follow the first group of the Southeast Mobile Corps!"

    The brigade commanders and regiment commanders below burst into laughter, but no one dared to take the commander's words as a joke, including the three brigade commanders and a dozen regiment commanders who were transferred from the Southeast Mobile Corps, and the independent division's commanders.  According to the rules, the establishment of each field corps is fixed in peacetime. In times of war, certain brigades will be mobilized to other corps in an organized manner according to the specific conditions on the battlefield. The commander of the corps will have full authority to command and dispose. It will not be because you are temporary.  Those who have been transferred over will be treated with a wide margin!

    Therefore, the six brigade commanders all took out their most capable regiments and served as vanguard troops. As dawn approached, the various troops of the northern Liaodong Peninsula combat group had already approached the border between China and North Korea. In the dim morning light, Han Tie  I jumped off the armored command vehicle and looked at the Yalu River flowing like a silver belt, shrouded in a white morning mist. This is the boundary river between China and North Korea. On the other side of the river, on the defensive position of the Kwantung Army, large and small  The bunker is like a squatting beast.

    This heavy fog brought great concealment to the march of the troops. The leading regiments of each brigade had already approached the Japanese army's positions, but they were not noticed by the Japanese army. The first brigade of the Southeast Mobile Corps faced the Kwantung Army's third  Three teams defended the first line of Jiuliancheng.

    It was approaching dawn, and a bright white light appeared in the east. The detachment leader, Major General Takashima, had not yet gone to bed. Accompanied by more than a dozen staff officers, he led his guards to check the preparations for war at the forward position. It was not that he did not want to sleep, but that he could not sleep.  , last night, we received an emergency telegram from the Kwantung Army headquarters, ordering the Kwantung Army troops along the China-North Korea border to immediately enter a state of first-level combat readiness. If the independent division troops in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula try to cross the China-North Korea border,  Then we must stop it at all costs!

    The wording in the telegram was extremely harsh. If the independent division troops in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula passed through any commander's defense area, the commander of that defense area would immediately commit suicide by disembowelment as apology. What surprised Major General Takashima was that the telegram  The signature is Lieutenant General Matsuda, Chief of General Staff of the Kwantung Army, not General Umezu, the Commander-in-Chief.

    Major General Takashima secretly pondered the reason, "Could it be that the personnel at the headquarters have changed? According to friends at the headquarters, the Third Army and the First and Second Detachments of the Kwantung Army had an extremely unsatisfactory fight on the Liaodong Peninsula battlefield, and the generals would not lose their troops.  "We are now forced to retreat across the board. Could it be that Commander-in-Chief Umezu resigned due to this reason?"

    "If the personnel changes at the headquarters are so huge, my friend should have news?" The war has reached such an extent that the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army has to be replaced. According to Major General Takashima's judgment, it must be extremely bad, and then think about the emergency order he received.  , Major General Takashima had a premonition that the entire Manchuria war situation was not very good!

    Under such circumstances, as the captain of the third detachment, Major General Takashima could not sleep carelessly. Therefore, he changed his usual habit and led the guards and staff to the front-line positions of Jiulian City.  , walked around, and what he saw was quite satisfactory to him. It was the Kwantung Army after all, and the soldiers were in very good condition.
