Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Major General Wan Lipeng, commander of the Ninth Brigade of the Marine Corps, who rushed to the blocking site in Bac Ninh, ignored the issue of non-combat attrition of the troops. In his opinion, because the blocking site of the Ninth Brigade was the farthest away, the transportation department of the Corps Headquarters should try its best to  They mobilized trucks and mechanized the troops to march more than 200 kilometers.  Running down without stopping, it is certain that the soldiers are tired, but if they are not running with two soles of their feet, what non-combat attrition can be caused?

    Xu Lei, the chief of staff, was a little unhappy when he saw the brigade commander, but he still said: "About one-tenth, there are more than 1,500 people, more than one reinforced battalion!"

    Wan Li Peng was so angry that he asked loudly: "Why are there so many? You are so delicate and expensive, but you have trouble riding in a truck?"

    Xu Lei hurriedly explained: "The main reason is that the troops have been fighting continuously, and the soldiers have been exhausted and exhausted. Part of it is due to gastrointestinal problems. However, as long as they rest for a day or two, they can regain their combat effectiveness!"

    Wan Lipeng's expression softened and he said: "In this case, Chief of Staff, in the name of the Staff Office, temporarily organize these soldiers into the Beining City garrison. If they cannot go to the front line, then keep an eye on the rear for me, and from the brigade  Send a staff officer to take command!"

    Xu Lei's eyes lit up, "Brigadier, this is a good idea. People can be put to their best use. There is no need to mobilize troops to guard Beining. Well, this is a great move!"

    Wan Lipeng smiled proudly and said: "What does it mean to be smart? This is smart. Let's learn a little bit!"

    As soon as Wan Lipeng's reply came, fierce gunshots were heard from the direction of Beining.  The Second Regiment and the Third Regiment began their attack on Beining, and his attention was immediately drawn to them.  Questions about intelligence have long been forgotten.

    An hour after the battle to attack Beining started, Wan Lipeng received a phone call reporting that the attack on the third regiment would advance to the central city of Beining.  The Kwantung Army troops in the city reduced their strength after being attacked.  Relying on several strong buildings to defend, the troops' attack was blocked and casualties occurred.

    Holding the phone, Wan Lipeng's anger emerged immediately.  "Third regiment commander. Is your head a lump of wood? A bigger stronghold will be stuck. Concentrate all artillery fire, whether it's mortars, rocket launchers, or recoilless rifles, but hit it with all your strength.  Those buildings have been leveled by me. By the way, I'll send some heavy artillery over there!"

    I just put down the phone.  A military jeep with billowing smoke.  Coming from the west at a high speed, the jeep stopped with a creak. The person who got out of the car was a major officer. He ran to Wan Lipeng and reported: "Brigadier Commander, I am the reconnaissance battalion of the first regiment."  Commander Hao Dapeng, on the order of the regiment commander, I am reporting an emergency situation to you. The reconnaissance battalion discovered a large number of Kwantung Army troops 20 kilometers away from Goubangzi and Luoluo Fort. They are running over. It is expected that they will arrive in less than an hour.  You can engage in firefights with our army!¡±

    "What?" Wan Lipeng screamed and asked hurriedly: "How many people are there and how many roads are there?"

    Hao Dapeng replied: "Preliminary estimate is that there are about 30,000 to 40,000 people, as well as tanks and cavalry. A total of five groups have been detected so far!"

    Wan Lipeng's heart suddenly rose to his throat. Thirty to forty thousand little Japanese came so fast. He had three regiments of troops, two of which were attacking Beining. He didn't have two hours.  , the battle cannot be ended. From Goubangzi to Luoluo Fort, there are only more than 6,000 troops in the first regiment. The little devils also have tank cavalry. The eighth brigade and the first brigade of the Southeast Mobile Corps will need more than two at the earliest.  It takes hours to get to the Beining area.

    In other words, in the past two hours, the Ninth Brigade had to use a regiment to stop 30,000 to 40,000 Japanese soldiers with tanks and cavalry who were eager to retreat. This battle was not easy to fight, and the troop casualties were huge.  , if the Beining blockade line is broken through, more Kwantung Army troops will escape through this opening, and then they will be the sinners of the independent division!

    Wan Lipeng's face was ashen and his teeth were clenching. After thinking sharply, he gave a decisive order: "Chief of Staff, order the second regiment attacking Beining to withdraw from the battle immediately and rush to the Goubangzi line.  Together with the first regiment, we blocked the Japanese army and ordered the third regiment to leave one battalion behind and continue the attack on Beining. The rest of the troops immediately rushed to the front line of Luo Luo Fort and told the commanders at all levels that this was the moment to test our ninth brigade.  Here, if the kid breaks through our blocking position, everyone, starting from me, will fall on the ground and let the kid step over our bodies!"

    Chief of Staff Xu Lei quickly issued the order. The commanders of the Second Regiment and the Third Regiment, who were attacking several buildings where the Kwantung Army soldiers were defending in the urban area of ??Beining, were stunned. The battle was still going on.  At this critical moment, why did the brigade commander give such an order?

    The doubts of the two regiment commanders only lasted a moment. They immediately led their troops to withdraw from the battle, got on the truck, and headed straight for the ditch as if they were flying.Heading in the direction of Laozi and Fort Rollo, behind the convoy were the artillery trucks of the brigade's heavy artillery regiment and the logistics department trucks loaded with ammunition.

    Wan Lipeng breathed a sigh of relief. With nearly three regiments of more than 13,000 troops, it would not be a problem to hold off 30,000 to 40,000 Japs for four to five hours. They would definitely be able to support the Eighth Brigade and the First Brigade of the Southeast Mobile Corps.  When he arrived, he had enough confidence in his troops.

    But he turned around and looked at Beining City. Listening to the sound of gunfire that had become sparse, Wan Lipeng felt worried again. To be honest, attacking Beining with one battalion was definitely not enough. According to previous reports, there were at least 100 soldiers in Beining City.  More than two thousand Japs, plus a division of Puppet Manchurian rebel soldiers, have not been eliminated. If they are to block the Japs withdrawing from Liaoxi direction at the most critical moment, the Japs and Puppet Manchurian rebels in Beining City will  A stab in the back would put the ninth brigade's position in danger!

    "Damn it! We are short of soldiers! When did I go to war? When did I reduce the soldiers to a battalion and calculate the time to use them? Fight Beining from behind, and block the little Japs in front. I wish I could use one soldier as a dozen soldiers!"  Wan Lipeng sighed and said to himself.

    Chief of Staff Xu Lei has been frowning. He knows that although this is the best way, the strength of the blocking line is still far from enough. The biggest hidden danger is not the 40,000 to 50,000 Kwantung Army soldiers rushing over, but  In Beining City, there are more than 2,000 Kwantung Army soldiers and a whole division of more than 5,000 Puppet Manchukuo soldiers who have not been eliminated. If the blocking battle reaches a critical moment, the Kwantung Army and Puppet Manchukuo troops in Beining City,  Suddenly bursting out, the ninth brigade's blocking line immediately collapsed.

    Soldiers, what is lacking is strength. Xu Lei racked his brains and thought, and suddenly his eyes lit up and he said: "Brigade Commander, don't we still have more than 1,500 non-combat attrition soldiers who are not involved in the attack on Beining?"  In the battle, although the physical condition of these soldiers is not very good, they are still an important force! If they cannot be annihilated quickly, then we can surround them. At least, we can ensure that the little devils in Beining City will not stab us in the back.  knife!"

    "Okay! The chief of staff has more clever ideas, so let's do this. Tell these soldiers that as long as they can move, hold a gun, or crawl, they must surround the little devils in Beining City!" Wan Lipeng said fiercely.

    In Kailu County, eastern Mongolia, Chief of Staff Zhao Yu took several telegrams and walked into the house of division commander Tang Qiuli. "The division commander received a telegram from Commander Han Tie that the troops of the northern Liaodong Peninsula Combat Group have arrived at the line from Panshan to Beining."  , among them, Panshan County has been occupied by our army, and is in fierce battle with the Kwantung Army troops, and Beining County is under attack! "

    "Okay! The speed of action of Han Tie's troops is quite fast, just in time to catch up with the retreating Kwantung Army in the western Liaoning area. Well, the battle in western Liaoning can proceed as planned!" Tang Qiuli breathed a sigh of relief obviously.  , said happily.

    Zhao Yuhe continued: "Commander, there is a serious problem. In the direction of Beining, the only troops arriving so far are the Wanlipeng Division of the 9th Marine Brigade. The telegram just received mentioned that Beining County is under attack.  However, in the western direction of Bac Ninh, we found 40,000 to 50,000 Kwantung Army troops rushing towards us. I am worried that since we only have one brigade, it will be very difficult to stop so many Kwantung Army troops! "

    "Huh?" Tang Qiuli frowned and said unhappily: "What happened to Han Tie? Beining is the northern point of blocking the Kwantung Army's retreat to Fengtian in the western direction of Liaoning. Umezu Yoshijiro will definitely fight for it, why only  Can we send a brigade of troops?"

    Seeing the division commander blaming Han Tie, Zhao Yuhe hurriedly explained: "Division commander, the situation is like this. Commander Han Tie has assembled three brigades on the Beining front line. However, among them, the Eighth Marine Brigade and the Southeast Mobile Brigade  The 1st Brigade of the Corps is still more than two hours away from Beining, and the Kwantung Army troops suddenly accelerated their retreat. Therefore, our current blocking force is weak! "

    Tang Qiuli was stunned, and then said: "Now, all Wan Lipeng needs is reinforcements. He immediately ordered Liu Cuigang and Le Yiqin, and the aviation force to be on the line from Panshan to Beining. Our army blocked the front of the position and provided sufficient firepower for air support. The focus is on  Bac Ninh, in addition, order Han Tie to urge the two brigades heading towards Bac Ninh to arrive in Bac Ninh within an hour and a half! "

    At this time, on the line from Panshan to Beining in Western Manchuria, the blocking battle entered a white-hot stage as soon as it began. From Panshan to Beining, guns and artillery fired in unison on the front line of more than 100 kilometers long.  The sky was filled with gunpowder smoke, almost blocking the morning sun. The retreating Kwantung Army troops took on a desperate posture and launched division-scale attacks one after another without interruption. The Korean Railway troops, on the other hand, rushed to meet the enemy and dug into various blocking positions.  As soon as a shallow trench was opened, the Kwantung Army soldiers rushed forward in groups.

    Under the all-out attack of the Ninth Army of the Kwantung Army, the Korean Railway troops?The pressure increased sharply, especially on the 9th Brigade in the direction of Bac Ninh.
