Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Han Tie jumped out of the armored command vehicle, took a deep breath, and stretched his aching muscles from the bumps. Under the first light, a lifeless county town appeared in front of him, without any lights or life.  This is the starting point of the southern end of the blocking line to block the retreat from Liaoxi direction - Panshan!

    According to the intelligence, there is a brigade and a gendarmerie squadron of the Eastern Army garrison in Panshan County. The rest are about a regiment of Manchurian Army troops, as well as miscellaneous Kwantung Army secret service agencies, police stations and other armed forces.  In total, there were approximately more than 2,000 armed men.

    In Han Tie¡¯s eyes, this small amount of troops was simply not enough. He looked in the direction of Panshan County and turned back to Chief of Staff Wang Dongshan: ¡°Chief of Staff, which troops arrived at the outskirts of Panshan County?¡±

    Wang Dongshan replied: "It is the fourth brigade of the 29th Corps and the brigade directly under the Liaodong Peninsula Theater Command. The other brigades continue to move towards Beining!"

    "Two brigades are enough!" Han Tie said: "Chief of Staff, order Meng Jianzhu, the commander of the direct brigade, to come to see me immediately, and order the fourth brigade of the 29th Corps to immediately deploy from Xingxing to Qingshui south of Panshan. The troops must hurry up.  The fortifications are being built. The Japs are almost here. Also, the soldiers can take turns eating and resting. I feel sore all over while riding in the armored vehicle. The soldiers who have been marching must be very tired!"

    After a while, a military jeep came speeding over with smoke and dust. When it arrived in front of Han Tie, Meng Jianzhu flew out of the car, stood at attention and saluted, "Report to the commander, the commander of the brigade directly under you, Meng Jianzhu, has come to report and ask for instructions from the commander!"

    Han Tie looked Meng Jianzhu up and down.  He nodded with satisfaction and said: "Meng Jianzhu, I know you. You are under the command of Jiang Xianliang, the commander of the 6th Brigade, and the commander of the number one main force group. He is very good at fighting. How about the troops marching continuously and urgently, so they are not broken down, right?"

    There is a reason why Han Tie asked this.  The troops directly under the brigade were formed later and suffered losses from the Japanese Third Army from Gaizhou to Andong on the Liaodong Peninsula.  The composition of some of the troops of the 4th, 5th, and 6th brigades that were forced to retreat must have lacked long-term integration. Meng Jianzhu had just taken over the command, and there were soldiers who fell behind.  Not surprising either.

    Meng Jianzhu¡¯s expression changed.  He puffed up his chest and replied: "Commander, so far, no one in the directly affiliated brigade has been left behind. It maintains its intact structure and is ready to go into battle at any time!"

    "Hey! You're so satisfied!" Han Tie smiled, pointed at Panshan County under the dim light and said, "You use a regiment of troops to capture Panshan County within two hours. There are small businesses in the city.  Can the Japs plus Manchurian soldiers, pseudo-policemen and other miscellaneous armed forces of more than 2,000 people do it?¡±

    Meng Jianzhu said without hesitation: "I promise to complete the task!"

    "Okay!" Han Tie praised, "In two hours, Panshan County will become a logistics base and field hospital for the army. The other two regiments of your brigade directly under your command will launch from Xingxing towards Lujia to build positions. Let's take action.  !¡±

    Seeing Meng Jianzhu's jeep disappearing quickly, Han Tie felt that his whole body was exhausted and his stomach was growling with hunger. From yesterday afternoon to now, he still had no water or rice to drink. He picked up the kettle and drank a few  Then, he opened a box of marching rations and ate it with relish. Wang Dongshan also came over, and the two of them started their first meal of the day next to the armored command vehicle.

    After eating a few mouthfuls, I heard fierce gunfire from the direction of Panshan County, "Ho! This Meng Jianzhu moved very fast! In just ten minutes, he started attacking!" Han Tie was eating something in his mouth.  , Wei Wei was stunned and praised.

    Meng Jianzhu's movements were definitely not slow. After the direct brigade arrived at its destination, he found that his unit was located in the northeastern area of ??Panshan, and the fourth brigade of the 29th Corps, which had been competing with the direct brigade, was running in the area.  Once he got to the front, he started thinking.

    Panshan County must be captured. As the rear of the army, it is not much of a threat, but has usable value. So, Meng Jianzhu called several regiment leaders together to study a plan to capture Panshan. Regardless of whether the headquarters  Order the directly affiliated brigade to do this work. Let's move the troops up first and seize the task. When the time comes, the commander will see that the troops are ready. Can the task of fighting Panshan be handed over to other brigades?

    Sure enough, the commander handed over the task to the brigade directly under him, and Meng Jianzhu was very happy. The only difference was that the commander only allowed the use of one regiment, while he used two regiments. After rushing back to the brigade headquarters, the jeep  On the way, Meng Jianzhu gave the order to the first regiment to attack Panshan. Therefore, before Han Tie had a few bites of food, the fighting had already begun!

    The organization of the three regiments under the direct brigade is different from other troops. First of all, in terms of strength, one regiment has nearly 7,000 people, and secondly in terms of equipment. When fighting the blocking battle in Zhuanghe, the central part of the Liaodong Peninsula, in view of the fact that the direct brigadeThe brigade was temporarily formed by several troops. The division commander Tang Qiuli specially ordered the logistics department to strengthen the equipment. Meng Jianzhu was an expert and knew what equipment the troops needed most. Therefore, mortars, rocket launchers and recoilless rifles,  The more the merrier!

    Therefore, the current direct brigade not only has a large number of troops, but also has very impressive equipment. There are more than 7,000 people in one regiment, divided into four groups, and they rushed into Panshan County at once. On the outside, they encountered no resistance at all. The independent division  Hundreds of thousands of troops came overwhelmingly from the direction of the Liaodong Peninsula. The Kwantung Army in Panshan County did not receive an order to retreat. It was just a garrison brigade and a gendarmerie squadron that went out to fight. They were looking for death!

    There was no other way. A battalion captain and a squadron leader of the Kwantung Army in Panshan County gathered together and murmured for a while before making a decision. They each relied on a few buildings in the city to hold on. As for whether they could hold on, they also knew.  Even if Amaterasu is possessed and His Majesty the Emperor comes in person, it will not change the fact. Standing firm and not retreating is the spirit of the Japanese emperor. Even if the Chinese soldiers come and cover the mountains and plains, we dare to fight!

    The two devil leaders wanted to hold on, but they took advantage of Meng Jianzhu, who did not have to engage in street fighting and annihilate scattered little devils everywhere. He personally directed the troops to attack and rushed into Panshan County without any effort. He did not intend to use the infantry  Going up to attack by force, not to mention wasting time, is not necessary at all. With a roar, several cannons were mobilized, and they were directed at the Kwantung Army soldiers gathered in the two buildings. They fired a barrage of shells, rocket launchers and recoilless rifles, and fired the shells directly.  Send it into every window of a building that is no more than three stories high.

    In ten minutes, hundreds of artillery shells of various calibers were poured into the two buildings where the Kwantung Army soldiers were guarding. Fireworks were everywhere, like big chimneys, and they almost fell apart. As for the Manchurian regiment,  When the Japanese soldiers heard the roar of artillery and saw the two strongholds of the Imperial Army, with black smoke pouring out, they were so scared that they almost peed their pants. They had never fought against the independent division troops, but how did the Japanese get beaten?  But it¡¯s in my eyes.

    The Japanese are so tyrannical that they are no match for the independent division. We are the old ones. Stop pretending to be heroes and big-tailed wolves. Survival is the most important thing. Everything else is just a lie. The regimental commander, chief of staff, and several battalion commanders muttered, surrender.  , so, without waiting for a regiment of soldiers to open fire, just after shouting a few times, a regiment of Manchukuo soldiers, led by the regiment leader, lined up and raised their hands to surrender.

    Meng Jianzhu looked at the Kwantung Army stronghold with billowing smoke. He grinned happily and looked at his watch. Yes, it only took an hour and twenty minutes to capture Panshan County. At this time, the first regiment commander was the same as before.  The battalion commander ran over to ask for instructions, "Brigadier, we have captured more than 2,000 Manchurian prisoners. What should we do with them?"

    Meng Jianzhu touched his unshaven chin, thought for a moment and said: "In this way, regimental commander, your regiment will leave two companies of troops, responsible for clearing out the Kwantung Army and Manchurian Army stragglers and maintaining order in Panshan County. Other troops,  Drive out of the county immediately. In addition, take all the prisoners and let them dig trenches. We are short of manpower, so we should use it as waste!"

    The first regiment commander gave a thumbs up and praised: "Brigade commander, this is a great move! These bastards are helping the little devils to harm us Chinese people. If they don't be shot, they will be dead. If you put in a little effort, you won't kill them."  Happy to death!¡±

    Meng Jianzhu called over the communications staff and ordered: "Immediately report to the Corps Headquarters that my direct brigade has occupied Panshan County, leaving two companies of troops to maintain order. Other troops are on their way to the blocking position!"

    After receiving the telegram from Meng Jianzhu, Han Tie laughed and said to Chief of Staff Wang Dongshan: "Chief of Staff, this Meng Jianzhu is really amazing! In a little more than an hour, he captured Panshan County, and by the way, the people who rushed to Beining  "How long will it take for the troops to reach the designated blocking position?"

    "According to their report, it will take about an hour and a half!" Wang Dongshan replied.

    Han Tie pondered for a moment and was about to speak. At this time, a combat staff officer hurried over and reported: "Commander, I received a report from Brigadier Ding of the 4th Brigade of the 29th Corps. Their reconnaissance team discovered that,  At the blocking position of the third regiment of the brigade, the leading force of the Kwantung Army's retreat was found. The strength was about one brigade. It is estimated that they will encounter our army in another thirty minutes! "

    Han Tie stood up slowly, shook his head and said: "You came very quickly! Damn, you didn't even let me finish a peaceful meal. He ordered Brigadier Ding and the fourth brigade to immediately enter combat mode and sent two  A battalion of troops, kill these little devils, and fight quickly!"

    After issuing the order, Han Tie said to Wang Dongshan: "Chief of Staff, report to the division commander that all 11 brigades of our northern Liaodong Peninsula combat group have arrived at the designated positions and occupied Panshan County. The remaining troops are approaching Beining.  , in the direction of Panshan, the leading troops of the Kwantung Army were found retreating! "

    A few minutes later, Han Tie led the headquarters and rushed to the front line.While they were still on the way to the destination, they heard the sound of intensive gunfire, and thus began a blocking battle.
