Volume 1 On the Songhua River Chapter 2595 Fengtian Calls for Reinforcement (Part 1)

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The order from the high command on the battlefield came very suddenly. The brigade commanders who were in high spirits were confused, and the soldiers were also confused. So, more than 30 brigade commanders of the participating troops called Zhao Yuhe one after another.  The headquarters, by implication, asked Commander Zhao why the attack suddenly stopped when the troops were fighting smoothly.

    Zhao Yuhe refused to answer the calls from the brigade commanders. He just told the acting chief of staff Wu Zhengmin to reply to the brigade commanders, "No explanation, just execute the order!" The attitude of the headquarters was unquestionable. When night fell over the battlefield,  When the gunfire subsided, there were hundreds of thousands of independent division soldiers on the outside, and less than 20,000 desperate Kwantung Army soldiers inside the encirclement.

    Zhao Yuhe has his own plan. There is no suspense about the outcome of the battle. There is no need to launch an attack at night and get mixed up with the Kwantung Army soldiers who are still fighting. There are so many artillery and tanks that are not used. Why fight at night?  The original time for increasing the casualties of the troops was forty-eight hours. It seemed that the battle could be resolved in thirty-six hours, so I was not in a hurry. After dawn tomorrow, artillery fire would cover the encirclement, and everything would be over.

    Under the flickering candlelight, Zhao Yuhe wrote a battle report to the division commander Tang Qiuli. The content was very simple, "Division Commander, in the battle of the northeastern border, our army achieved the expected victory at an extremely small cost. The Kwantung Army's border defense  The remaining 20,000 troops are surrounded in a small area with a radius of less than 100 kilometers. I plan to launch a final attack on them early tomorrow morning to end the battle! "

    "After that, the participating troops of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, except for the six remaining brigades, immediately took the train south via Aershan. Whether the directly affiliated corps will turn to the Far East battlefield according to the original plan, please ask the division commander for approval!"

    After receiving the telegram from Zhao Yuhe in Kailu, Mengdong, Tang Qiuli was very happy. The Kwantung Army had lost one of its three heavy military groups in the northeastern region, and the directly affiliated corps had strengthened six brigades.  The total strength of the army has reached more than 400,000. On the battlefield in the Northeast, which is full of wars, he has a powerful mobile corps in his hands. No matter which direction it is used, it will change the outcome of the war.

    What made Tang Qiuli hesitate was that the directly affiliated corps joined the Far East battlefield according to the original plan.  Joining forces with Liu Tiehan's East Finger troops, they defeated the Japanese Far East Expeditionary Force commanded by Prince Zai Ren, leaving more than 500,000 Japanese soldiers on the land of the Far East. The main force of the Kwantung Army was still surrounded in the western part of Northeast China.  The hinterland of the Northeast is almost a defenseless opportunity. Take Harbin directly, take another important town in the Northeast into your hands, and then sweep across the northern and eastern Manchuria areas.  Recover most of the Northeast first.

    According to the original overall plan for the Northeast Campaign, the directly affiliated corps should go to the Far East battlefield.  The goal is to dispatch troops to the Far East of Japan, but it is also very tempting to recover most of the Northeast first. It is a fish-and-bear relationship. At the same time, it also involves the issue of troop strength.

    Tang Qiuli also considered having the Outer Mongolia Field Corps and the six brigades assigned to Zhao Yuhe be formed into a separate combat corps responsible for capturing Harbin and recovering northern and eastern Manchuria. However, there was a key problem.  East Manchuria and North Manchuria together constitute most of the Northeast. Six brigades with more than 100,000 troops are obviously not enough. If more than 100,000 people are scattered into such a large area, garrison troops need to be left in many places.  No, in the end it was an unfavorable situation of lack of troops everywhere.

    Although the main force of the Kwantung Army is surrounded in the western part of Northeast China, the Japanese have been operating in the Northeast for many years and have a strong foundation. If they want to uproot them, it will not work without sufficient troops. However, once the war in the western part of Northeast China ends, the main force of the Kwantung Army will  After their entire army is wiped out and they realize that the situation is over, will the Japanese go crazy in the end and wreak havoc on industry and infrastructure everywhere?

    Then there is the possibility of massacre and massacre of the city. According to the deep-rooted character of the Japanese, they can definitely do it. It was already dark, and Tang Qiuli was still weighing the direction in which direction the directly-affiliated corps should send troops to achieve greater results.  Big gain?

    Mei Xue and Liu Xinlan brought supper and saw Tang Qiuli sitting on the chair, staring at the map, deep in thought. He didn't even lift his head when two beautiful beauties came in.  The two of them put their midnight snacks on the table and quietly exited the room without disturbing them.

    Outside the house, Liu Xinlan said worriedly: "Sister Xue, did he encounter any problems? He didn't even respond to the midnight snacks we sent over! Otherwise, call Sister Ting over to persuade him, he has to eat no matter what!"

    Mei Xue smiled narrowly, "Girl, I know I feel sorry for you! Don't worry, this guy is just like that. I know him well, and nothing can trouble him!"

    Tang Qiuli in the room naturally didn't know that the two women were whispering and worrying about him. He shook his head, which was paralyzed by thought, and sighed. He still couldn't have his cake and eat it too. If he let go of the Japanese Far East Dispatch  The army's more than 500,000 troops will return to the Japanese mainland.??Japan's future operations on the mainland will bring great variables and difficulties. Anyway, the Northeast is already in its hands, so it is better to let the directly-affiliated corps carry out its established tasks and send troops out of the Far East!

    Tang Qiuli thought with regret that after making the decision, he relaxed and shouted: "Communications staff officer!" Turning around, he saw the supper on the table, a bowl of yellow and orange millet porridge, two peeled  Boiled eggs in the shell, soaked in the fragrant porridge, and a plate of sauced meat that he could never get enough of. It was simple but enough to whet his appetite. He couldn't help but smile, and a warm atmosphere filled his heart.

    In eastern Mongolia, if you want to eat meat, that¡¯s no problem. Beef and mutton are enough. If you want to eat dairy products, that¡¯s no problem. Mongolian milk tea shops can be found everywhere in Kailu County.  However, it is even more difficult to eat eggs. The local herdsmen do not raise chickens. It is still hundreds of miles away from the gathering place of the Han people. It is not like the convenience of commodity circulation in the later generations. If you want to go to Daxinganling  In the ice and snow, eating lychees from Lingnan, as long as you have enough money in your pocket, no problem!

    Therefore, in Kailu County, if you want to eat fresh eggs, there is no way. Tang Qiuli suddenly remembered that a few days ago, Mei Ting took Liu Xinlan back to Peiping because she had official business to do. When she came back, she was careful  He brought back several boxes of eggs and laughed at the three of them for being greedy. Unexpectedly, they were specially prepared for him!

    With a warm smile, Tang Qiuli served millet porridge. At this time, the communications staff officer on duty shouted a report at the door. After coming in, Tang Qiuli ordered: "Call Chief of Staff Zhao back immediately. After the Northeast Border Battle is over,  , the directly affiliated corps and the attached troops will continue to implement the original plan to march into the Far East, but they must work out several routes, repeatedly weigh the pros and cons, compare the pros and cons, and report the results to the division commander! "

    "Send a telegram to Chu Tian, ??the leader of the special operations detachment, and order the entire special operations detachment to immediately sneak into various cities and major towns in northern and eastern Manchuria. After getting in touch with the intelligence office, cameras will be on standby. Chu Tian has formulated the specific lurking plan.  After that, report to the division headquarters!

    "Order, Deputy Division Commander Tang of the Sulu Mobile Corps and Commander Jiang Yanming of the Songhu Garrison Corps, to mobilize the reconnaissance troops of your brigades to go north immediately and assemble in the Seoul area. The troops will be mobilized and placed under the command of Chu Tian, ??the leader of the special operations detachment!"

    "Send a copy of this telegram to the Chutian detachment leader at the same time, and he will understand what to do!" Tang Qiuli warned again, this is considered a rainy day, as there is no time to spare to capture North Manchuria and East Manchuria, so he sent  The latent troops can still do it. At least, they can play a certain role when the Japanese are hysterical and about to go crazy. Of course, this is also a solution.

    The communications staff officer went out to send a telegram. Before he finished the bowl of porridge, Ge Zhenzhuang, director of the Division Staff Office, and Chen Feng, director of the Communications Division, came hand in hand. As soon as he entered the room, he hesitated when he saw the division commander having a midnight snack.  After a while, "There must be something important for coming so late. It's okay, just tell me!" Tang Qiuli saw the hesitation of the two people and said with a smile.

    Chen Feng took out a telegram from the folder and said: "Commander, I further received information from the Intelligence Office that the Kwantung Army Commander-in-Chief Umezu Yoshijiro has recruited about 50,000 people in Fengtian and the surrounding areas.  The unit, designated the Kwantung Army Liaoxi Assault Corps, intends to use this force to break through the blockade of our Liaoxi combat troops from Siping to Shuangliao and open the passage to Fengtian! "

    "Oh!" Tang Qiuli was surprised for a moment, then smiled and said: "That Umezu Yoshijiro is really capable. Fortunately, the four brigades from the Shandong Garrison District I transferred have already landed in Anton. I arrived early.  Be prepared!¡±

    After a pause, Tang Qiuli seemed to remember something, "When did the Intelligence Department discover this situation?" He asked with a serious face.

    Ge Zhenzhuang took over and said: "According to the telegram from the Director of the Intelligence Division, the Intelligence Division's agents in Fengtian discovered this situation about a week ago!"

    "A week ago?" Tang Qiuli looked ugly and said in a stern tone: "Then why didn't you report it immediately and delay it until today? This is very important information!"

    Ge Zhenzhuang explained: "Regarding this matter, Director Yu sent a special telegram to explain it. Because he was not sure before and was afraid that the information would be wrong, he further verified it. You also know that the Kwantung Army once did something like this in and around Fengtian.  One time, the Kwantung Army¡¯s newly-formed First and Second Corps did not seem to have that much potential in terms of personnel, so Director Yu ordered Fengtian¡¯s agents to conduct multiple verifications to ensure that they were correct, so as not to mislead the division commander¡¯s judgment!¡±

    "It was not until this evening that it was confirmed that this was indeed the case, and that the so-called Kwantung Army Liaoxi Assault Corps had begun to gather in Fengtian, and the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, General Umezu Yoshijiro, personally served as the commander-in-chief!  "

    ¡°???!  "Tang Qiuli was stunned. Umezu Yoshijiro went into battle shirtless. It seems that this Kwantung Army Liaoxi Assault Corps is about to leave Fengtian.
