Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    As the chief of staff, it was his duty to put forward different opinions to help the division commander improve his plan, but Zhao Yuhe thought more about it. He believed that the division commander ordered the Korean Railway troops not to attack Fengtian and Xinjing.  It makes sense, even though I think it is better to fight Fengtian and Xinjing.

    The trace of hesitation on his face was noticed by the division commander, and he was encouraged. Zhao Yuhe put down his inner worries and was about to speak. Ge Zhenzhuang, director of the staff department, hurriedly came in and said, "Division commander, chief of staff, have received orders from Commander Feng.  An urgent telegram from the official, more than two hours ago, there was a sudden movement of the Kwantung Army troops on the front line in Jinzhou! "

    "Is there any abnormality?" Tang Qiuli said calmly. On the contrary, Zhao Yuhe's expression changed and he said eagerly: "What's the abnormality? Director Ge, please be more detailed!"

    Ge Zhenzhuang read the telegram, "The division pointed out that our department has a large number of reconnaissance troops that have penetrated into the rear of the Kwantung Army in the Western Liaoning Corridor. More than two hours ago, the reconnaissance troops sent intelligence that the Kwantung Army's second line of defense in Linghai and Qili  Troops from Hehe, Dadingbao and other places began to gather in the above three places, and their logistics troops were also gathered, and some Kwantung Army baggage troops began to move towards Fengtian. "

    "The strange thing is that the troops in the Linghe, Xinzhuangzi and Yingpan areas of the Kwantung Army's first line of defense north of Jinzhou suddenly entered a state of emergency combat readiness and seemed to be preparing for an attack by our army. Based on this, I made a preliminary judgment,  The Kwantung Army troops in the Western Liaoning Corridor area seem to be showing signs of retreating!" The telegram was signed by Feng Jiwu.

    After listening to Ge Zhenzhuang read the telegram, Zhao Yuhe's face turned pale, and he frowned and said: "Commander, your judgment is accurate. The Kwantung Army troops in western Liaoning are beginning to prepare to retreat. By the way, Director Ge  , are there any changes in the Kwantung Army troops opposite the North China Field Corps, and are there any changes in the Kwantung Army troops opposite the Outer Mongolia Field Corps? "

    The questions Zhao Yuhe asked are all the most critical. If the Kwantung Army troops in the other two directions are beginning to assemble, that will mean it.  Umezu Yoshijiro had issued the order to retreat more than ten hours ago. Undoubtedly, he was ahead of the independent division troops launching a full-line offensive. Now, the Korean Railway troops are still on the Gaizhou line of the Liaodong Peninsula.  Encircling and annihilating the remnants of the Japanese army, Zhao Yuhe became extremely anxious about whether he could cut off the retreat of the main force of the Kwantung Army in the western part of Northeast China.

    Ge Zhenzhuang shook his head and replied: "So far, we have not received a telegram from Commander Sun, and there is no similar report from the North China Field Corps!"

    "How is this possible? Three routes of Kwantung Army troops. There is no reason to retreat all alone!" Zhao Yuhe said in disbelief.

    Tang Qiuli waved his hand, stopped the emotional Zhao Yuhe, and said: "The battlefield situation is changing rapidly, and any situation is possible. It is also possible for the Kwantung Army troops in the western Liaoning area to retreat alone. The fundamental reason is that the Commander-in-Chief of the Kwantung Army  Guan Meizu Yoshijiro needs a considerable number of troops to defend the line from Fengtian to Xinjing!"

    "The greatest possibility is that Umezu Yoshijiro judged that the next attack direction of the Han Railway troops was on the Fengtian and Xingjing lines, and the first line of defense was fully prepared for war. He was leaving soldiers to protect the carriage. Director Ge ordered Feng Jiwu's troops to immediately start attacking  , disrupting the Kwantung Army's retreat to Fengtian. In the order, it was emphasized that when breaking through the Kwantung Army's first line of defense, it is advisable to use a large-scale armored cluster and a large amount of air firepower. The specific tactics are left to Feng Jiwu himself.  OK, no need to report it to the teacher!¡±

    "In addition, the five brigades of Korean Railway troops on the Xiuyan front line of the Liaodong Peninsula are ordered to immediately occupy the line from Panshan to Beining, and resolutely block the retreat of the Kwantung Army troops. The pursuit troops on the eastern front of the Liaodong Peninsula, after clearing the remaining enemies, immediately pass through Andong  First line, rush to the above-mentioned area and meet up with the previous troops!¡±

    "In the name of the division commander, an order is issued to appoint Major General Han Tie, commander of the Marine Corps, as commander of the Liaodong Peninsula Theater to unified command of all troops in the region!"

    Zhao Yuhe woke up from his shock, and the battle to regain the Northeast began inadvertently. He did not expect it. He immediately thought that if Feng Jiwu's regiment was the first to launch an attack, the battle in the other two directions would be fierce.  Should the troops also launch an attack at the same time? "Division commander, should the North China Field Corps and the Outer Mongolia Field Corps launch an attack at the same time?" he asked.

    Tang Qiuli pondered for a moment and said: "Yu He, you immediately command the directly affiliated corps and insert it directly into the rear of the Kwantung Army's northwest border garrison. I immediately issued an order. Sun Zhenbang's troops began to attack the Kwantung Army in front of them. Yuan Jinghao's  Troops, stay still for the time being and strengthen surveillance of the Kwantung Army troops!"

    Zhao Yu and Huo Ran stood up, stood at attention and saluted, and said: "This is the division commander. Yu He will lead the troops into battle this time. Together with the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, he will annihilate the Kwantung Army's northwest border garrison in the northeast and northwest areas!"

    Tang Qiuli also stood up and looked at him gentlyZhao Yuhe said: "After the direct-affiliated corps encircled the Kwantung Army's northwest border garrison, the task of annihilating the enemy was handed over to Sun Zhenbang. You command the directly-affiliated corps and continue northward to the Far East. Remember, don't be reluctant to fight along the way. Our ultimate goal  , hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops in the Far East!¡±

    Zhao Yuhe turned around and left. Tang Qiuli believed that he, the chief of staff, had fully understood his intentions. As soon as Zhao Yuhe left, Colonel Chen Feng, director of the Division's Communications Division, rushed over and said, "Division Commander, Navy and Army Corps  Commander Han Tie of the team has sent a message!" he said.

    Tang Qiuli smiled slightly and said, "What is the specific content?"

    Chen Feng read: "The division pointed out that the battle on the Gaizhou battlefield was fierce. It is now certain that the Japanese Third Army and the remnants of the Kwantung Army's First and Second Detachments, which retreated from the central part of the Liaodong Peninsula, are all concentrated in the direction of Gaizhou, trying to escape from here.  Open the channel. So far, in addition to the Wanlipeng Division of the 9th Marine Brigade that was originally on the Gaizhou front line to block the Japanese army, there are also troops that have rushed to the Gaizhou front line, including the 7th Marine Corps and the 8th Marine Corps.  Brigade Headquarters!¡±

    "In addition, the pursuit forces on the northern and central lines, three brigades of the 29th Corps, and the third brigade of the Marine Corps have also launched an attack south of Gaizhou against the Japanese troops blocked on the Gaizhou front line. At present,  , the remaining 40,000 Japanese troops were surrounded by our troops on the Gaizhou battlefield."

    "The eastern and middle-line pursuit forces, the brigades directly under the Liaodong Peninsula Theater Command, and the 1st and 2nd Marine Corps brigades have joined our blocking forces. Please give instructions to these troops on the next direction of action!"

    "Encirclement!" Tang Qiuli said to himself, "Director Ge, ordered Han Tie to encircle and annihilate the remaining Japanese troops on the Gaizhou front line. He must be quick. I only gave him twenty-four hours to reach Anton.  The 1st and 2nd brigades of the Marine Corps, the brigades directly under the Liaodong Peninsula Theater Command, and the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd brigades of the Southeast Mobile Corps originally on the Andong front line, except for a small number of garrison troops, most of the rest  , immediately go to the line from Panshan to Beining to block the retreat of the Kwantung Army troops in the Western Liaoning Corridor area! "

    The situation in the entire Northeastern battlefield is in a delicate state of balance. Any change in any direction will break this balance. Umezu Yoshijiro ordered the main force of the Kwantung Army in the Liaoxi Corridor to begin to retreat. The balance was broken, causing a series of events.  In response, Tang Qiuli was determined not to allow the more than 500,000 Kwantung Army troops to withdraw to Fengtian. Therefore, the blocking force used in the southwest of Fengtian reached 11 brigades and nearly 200,000 troops. This shows that he  The determination is so great!

    After issuing a series of orders, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon. Tang Qiuli sat quietly on a chair and sorted out the thoughts in his head. To be fair, his series of orders were passive in terms of the battlefield situation.  Yes, if the Kwantung Army in the Western Liaoning Corridor showed no signs of retreat, he would not order Feng Jiwu's regiment to launch an attack. Instead, he should have eliminated all the more than 40,000 remaining Japanese troops on the Gaizhou battlefield on the Liaodong Peninsula!

    The sixteen brigades under Han Tie's command will only issue the order to attack across the entire line after they have completed the deployment of cutting off the two Kwantung Army routes in the northeastern and western parts of the country. Now, it is a passive response, with the intention of taking advantage of the situation. This feeling, Tang  Qiu Li disliked it very much. The rhythm of the battlefield was disrupted by Umezu Meijiro's sudden order.

    With the strength of sixteen brigades, he was able to block the Kwantung Army's more than 500,000 troops in the western Liaoning area and retreat to Fengtian. He was not worried. Feng Jiwu's regiment, which had more than 400,000 troops, was recharging its strength and could block the Kwantung Army for about three days.  In a matter of seconds, a pincer attack from the front and back can be formed. Although the forces of both sides are about the same, their absolute air superiority and superior heavy equipment can give them a huge advantage. It is only a matter of time before they can annihilate more than 500,000 Kwantung Army troops.

    What Tang Qiuli needs to consider now is whether Yuan Jinghao of the North China Field Corps will also launch an attack. He is hesitating. First, the Kwantung Army troops in the direction of Western Manchuria have not behaved abnormally, at least not yet. If they attack, they may  It will force Umezu Yoshijiro to also issue a retreat order, and the blocking troops along this route still have to rely on Han Tie's five brigades concentrated on the Gaizhou front line.

    However, the troops of these five brigades must deal with the remnants of the more than 40,000 Japanese troops encircled by them before they can free up their hands to penetrate directly from Siping to Shuangliao and block the retreat route of the Kwantung Army in the direction of Western Manchuria. That was twenty-four  It's an hour later.

    Even if Han Railway's five brigades on the Gaizhou front line were freed up as planned and arrived at the blocking area on time, this blocking battle was extremely dangerous. The Kwantung Army troops in Western Manchuria also had more than 400,000 troops, and  The remaining five brigades of the Han Railway Force, with more than 80,000 people, are very weak in fighting this blocking battle. Moreover, the casualties of the troops will definitely be very huge. The biggest difficulty is that Tang Qiuli now has no spare parts in his hands.  troops came for reinforcements.

    The sun gradually slanting westward, through the open window, cast a few rays of light into the house, shining on Tang Qiuli's motionless eyes.On his body, his eyes were fixed on the large military map on the wall.
