Chapter 115 Take the initiative

The three of them were discussing, and Deputy Chief of Staff Yang Wentao also hurriedly returned after hearing the news, Xu Guoren immediately beckoned him to join the discussion, pointed to the map and said to the three of them: "You see, according to the intelligence, there are two groups of devils who are currently approaching the Shenyang area, the enemy from the Dongta Airport and the railway line, and the enemy from the north and south such as the 2nd Division of the Japanese Army. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

And the devils who came from the direction of the Hushitai Barracks were the enemy Kwantung Army, Zhengjiatun, Gongzhuling, and Siping to protect the road, that is, the Japanese army's railway garrison! Judging from the battlefield situation, the contact between this army and the main force of the South Manchurian Kwantung Army has been cut off by us, and it belongs to a lone army.

Therefore, it is basically impossible for the rebels in Changchun and other places to be drawn out in a short period of time to participate in the attack on our army in Shenyang!

Therefore, I decided to take a defensive position in the southeast direction, block the enemy's 2nd Division from moving north, concentrate superior forces and artillery fire, and take the initiative to attack Hushitai and Zhengjiatun! Destroy the enemy on the northern front, so that we can relieve our worries.

We can concentrate our forces and fight a decisive battle with the Kwantung Army and the South Manchurian railway line! ”

Yang Wentao and Huang Xiansheng are both from serious backgrounds, and they immediately understood Xu Guoren's intentions, and felt that this plan was feasible.

So, both of them nodded in agreement.

After unifying their opinions, Huang Xiansheng discussed with Xu Guoren and Yang Wentao and decided that Huang Xiansheng and Wang Baoguo's Third Brigade would replace the First Brigade as a front-line force and stick to the outer positions such as Dongta Airport and Shenyang Railway Station.

The 2nd Brigade held the south of Shenyang to the railway station, and served as a reserve for the 3rd Brigade to provide support and response at any time.

The 1st Brigade, the Cavalry Brigade, the Artillery Regiment, as well as Gao Zhihang's Flying Brigade and the Military Headquarters Guard Battalion, were all used as the initiative of the Northern Front to annihilate the three independent garrisons of the Japanese army, with a strength of nearly 2,000 people.

In terms of troops, the ratio of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army to the Japanese army was more than five to one. In addition, the air force has coordinated operations, and it can be said that it has an absolute advantage.

It is worth mentioning that at this time, there were about 10,000 people in the three infantry brigades of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, with an average of more than 3,000 people in each brigade, more than 3,000 in the cavalry brigade, more than 1,200 in the artillery regiment, more than 500 people in the guard battalion, plus some guards in the confidential company, the baggage regiment, and the field hospital, with a total strength of nearly 16,000.

If you include Gao Zhihang's flight brigade and the ground support and guards assigned to it, the strength is 16,000 people.

After the Kwantung Army lost the 29th Infantry Wing and other units, plus the independent garrison brigades in various places, the total strength was only more than 20,000 people.

Removing the necessary forces left behind in Yingkou, Dalian, Lushun and other places, especially Yingkou, the Japanese army had to leave a considerable part of its forces to monitor the direction of Jinzhou, just in case.

Therefore, the Kwantung Army was only able to invest more than 15,000 troops to attack Shenyang.

In terms of troops, it is not superior.

The Japanese garrisons north of Shenyang rushed to Shenyang before the main force of the 2nd Division because they were close to Shenyang, after all, they were also eager to take revenge and make meritorious contributions.

Until this time, the Japanese army still looked down on the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army composed of the Northeast Army and Xu Guoren, the front of the Northeast Army.

These 2,000 Japanese troops may directly attack Shenyang.

Instead of staying in Hushitai and waiting for orders.

The commander of this Japanese army was a Japanese soldier named Ken Tanaka, who was originally a Japanese military attache and commander of the road protection team stationed in Changchun.

At this time, the captains of Zhengjiatun, Gongzhuling, and Siping independent garrisons of the Japanese army were in the original brigade headquarters of the Hushitai Barracks, and kept asking Tanaka Ken to ask for troops to attack Shenyang immediately.

Although Ken Tanaka also wanted to take the lead, he did not dare to disobey the orders of Ishihara Waner, who represented the general staff of the Kwantung Army, so he tried his best to appease the officers under his command and make them wait patiently.

However, in the afternoon of the same day, the captain of the Zhengjiatun garrison, ignoring the orders of Ken Tanaka and Ishihara Wan'er, led more than 500 Japanese troops under his command without authorization, left the Hushitai barracks, and attacked and advanced in the direction of Shenyang.

The remaining two captains of the garrison are also ready to move, and it is too late for Ken Tanaka to stop him.

In the end, he had to order the whole army to go out and follow the Zhengjiatun garrison to attack and advance in the direction of Shenyang, just in case.

At the same time, the situation was reported to the headquarters of the 2nd Division, and the 2nd Division was requested to launch an attack from the south to plan their combat operations.

When the news reached Liaoyang, Ishihara Wan'er slapped the table very angrily and said, "Baga, these bastards act without permission and do not obey military orders. It's going to be a big loss! ”

Itagaki Seishiro has already asked for orders to go to the front-line troops to assist in commanding the attack on Shenyang.

Therefore, only a few high-ranking officers, including Jiro Tamon and his chief of staff, remained in the headquarters of the Second Division, and they did not comment on Ishihara's words, because not long ago, they personally went down to the top and concealed from their superiors and planned to launch the September 18 Incident.

Now the Zhengjiatun garrison is just following suit, what else can they say about the initiators?

If the captain of the Zhengjiatun garrison is a bastard, then which one of them here is not a bastard who acts without permission?

Therefore, Duomen Jiro's face was not good-looking, and he said in a deep voice: "Since the incident has happened, it is too late to stop it, and it is not the time to hold him accountable." How long will it take for our main forces to reach Shenyang? ”

The second half of Jiro Tamon's sentence was to ask his chief of staff.

"At present, more than 1,000 people in the vanguard have arrived in the periphery of the airport in the southern suburbs of Shenyang, and the follow-up 2nd Infantry Wing of the cavalry has also rushed there, and the other main forces will be able to arrive tonight at the latest!"

"Then you can launch an attack, order the vanguard, immediately launch an attack on the East Tower Airport, and occupy the airport as much as possible! The 2nd Cavalry Wing and other units are advancing at full speed to support the vanguard in the battle! Order the independent garrison brigades on the northern line, concentrate their forces, attack and advance along the South Manchurian railway line, and attack the Shenyang railway station, so as to open up communication between us as soon as possible! So as to complete the siege of Shenyang! Domen Jiro immediately ordered.

At the Dongta Airport, Wang Baoguo, deputy commander of the Third Brigade, was ordered to lead his troops, and as soon as the handover with the First Brigade was completed, more than 1,000 Japanese troops launched an attack on their forward positions.

Wang Baoguo, in his capacity as deputy brigade commander, immediately ordered the troops to open fire and block the attack.

The two sides immediately launched a fierce exchange of fire, and although the devils were relatively strong in combat, their troops were at an absolute disadvantage.

Moreover, now the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army has benefited from the replenishment of weapons and equipment in the Shenyang Arsenal and other major military warehouses, and it is well-equipped, and the number of light and heavy machine guns far exceeds that of devils of the same formation.

It can be said that the current Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is gambling with its back against a mountain of gold, and it is very rich.

Light and heavy machine guns, mortar shells can be squandered.

In this way, the powerful and dense firepower is enough to make up for the gap in the quality of the soldiers and the overall combat effectiveness of the two sides.

Therefore, Wang Baoguo led the 3rd Brigade to rely on favorable terrain and complete fortifications to defeat the vanguard of the Japanese army with heavy casualties.

The 1st Brigade, the Cavalry Brigade, the Artillery Regiment and the Air Force Brigade quickly completed the assembly and combat readiness. Knowing that the Japanese army left Hushitai and attacked Shenyang, Xu Guoren was overjoyed and said to Huang Xiansheng and others: "The little devil is here to die!" If they really stick to the Hushitai barracks, we will really have to work hard, and now that we leave the fortifications, the cavalry brigade will be able to defeat them! ”

Subsequently, Xu Guoren immediately made arrangements and ordered Guo Xiaoliu, Zhang Dongsheng, and Zhang Baoguo to lead the cavalry regiment to make a detour in the direction of Hushitai, preparing to outflank, and the first brigade went out of the city along the railway line to meet the enemy head-on.

The artillery regiment moved with the 1st Brigade to build artillery positions and fire at the Japanese troops.

Gao Zhihang's headquarters immediately took off more than a dozen fighters and bombers to launch an air attack on the Japanese army, striving to annihilate the Japanese army on the northern front in one fell swoop.
