Chapter 601: Good News from the Soviet Union
The battle of Jiaohe was fought a little suddenly, and the ending was quite dramatic. To read the latest chapter of this book, please go to Baidu to search: Novel Network Originally, Major General Takashima finally made up his mind to die for the Japanese Empire and be loyal to the Japanese emperor, but a sudden explosive package broke all of Major General Takashima's plans. When Major General Takashima woke up, he was already surrounded by a large number of squadrons. Looking around, all of them were the elites he brought this time, and they became prisoners of the people of China with a sad face.
Major General Takashima's first instinct was to touch his gun, but unfortunately, all the weapons on his body were taken away. Not to mention guns, not even a little bit of iron. In order to prevent Major General Takashima from committing suicide, Master Wan directly ordered the guards to remove Takashima's chin as well.
With the end of the battle in the city, the Japanese paratroopers outside the city did not retreat, and even the 75th Division continued to advance in the direction of Jiaohe, and news also came from the direction of Jilin County, saying that a Japanese infantry of about 3,000 people was rushing to the direction of Jiaohe by car, and as soon as the battle ended, the Japanese army's large aircraft group had already reached the sky over Jiaohe and carried out indiscriminate bombing of Jiaohe City, bombs fell like raindrops, a large number of civilian houses were bombed, and civilian casualties were heavy.
While organizing the evacuation of the people, Wan Yi ordered the troops to organize air defense strikes. However, due to the lack of anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, the effect was limited, and the first round of counterattacks only damaged one bomber.
Now Wan Yi can also see that General Yamada Otozo is not so concerned about saving Takashima and others, but seems to be killing people. In the first round of bombing, the most bombarded were the residences and headquarters where Takashima and others were located. Fortunately, Wan Yi saw the opportunity early and transferred Takashima and the others out, but it was a pity that Wan Yi's guard company, because there were some confidential documents in the Jiaohe Garrison Command that needed to be taken away, so Wan Yi left his guard company in the command center, but in the bombing just now, this guard company was hit hard, not only the company commander instructor was killed, but more than 20 soldiers were killed, and more than a dozen seriously injured people.
However, the harvest this time is also great, the 12 military doctors of the test team brought by Takashima all entered the prisoner of war camp of the People's Liberation Army, and this time a large number of experimental equipment and test materials of the Japanese bacteriological troops were also seized, although the textual things have not been translated for the time being, but some of the photos are clear at a glance, after reading these photos, Wan Yi even had an urge to shoot these beasts directly.
After receiving Wan Yi's report, Lu Zhengcao ordered Wan Yi to immediately escort this test team to the headquarters, and in addition, the troops should not withdraw from Jiaohe. In particular, the 75th Division did not care about the old nest behind him, which surprised Lu Zhengcao and others. In just half a day, Li Dingguo's Yiye had already hit Dunhua City, which was of course because of the strong combat effectiveness of Li Dingguo's troops, but more importantly, Songshan Yusan issued an order when he left, requiring the defenders scattered in the towns, counties, and districts outside Dunhua City to return to the city immediately, abandon all the strongholds on the periphery of Dunhua, and concentrate their forces to defend Dunhua City.
The first field under the city showed strong combat effectiveness, and the one who gained the greatest harvest and the fastest development in the previous battle was Zhao Shangzhi's three fields, but if you want to talk about combat effectiveness, the entire Northeast People's Liberation Army also has to say Li Dingguo's one field. On the one hand, Yiye was expanded from the old foundation of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, and on the other hand, Yiye's training methods were also the harshest among the three major field armies. Li Dingguo was born in special forces and is still serving as a special instructor, so his troops all use the training method of special forces. It's a little different, but the effect is extraordinary. …,
Now his First Field Army has a total of five infantry divisions, with a total strength of 150,000, making it the field army with the largest number of troops in the entire Northeast People's Liberation Army. Except for an infantry brigade left behind in the military headquarters that was not used, Li Dingguo spent a lot of money this time and brought all the troops out, and he wanted to pacify the southeast of Jilin in one battle.
In addition to the 2 infantry divisions attacking Dunhua City, the remaining 3 infantry divisions were sent by Li Dingguo to Wangqing, Yanji, Fusong and other places - although these three places have their own garrisons, but the number is not large, and the combat effectiveness is not too strong, and the 3 infantry divisions are enough to solve the problem.
There were now more than 3,000 Japanese defenders in Dunhua City, and there were more than 2,000 puppet troops, and Li Dingguo was very experienced in attacking such a big city, and he knew that if the troops were allowed to charge indiscriminately, in addition to only bringing huge casualties to the troops, it would hardly have much effect. The most direct and effective way to attack a large city is to inflict heavy damage on the enemy in the enemy's position or fortifications, and it is best to directly break the enemy's fighting spirit. But if this is not possible, it is better to engage in street fighting, although the casualties in street fighting are still not small, but relatively small compared to the troops charging against the fortifications of the city.
Li Dingguo concentrated 32 75mm mountain guns and 6 105mm caliber cannons, and the most important thing was that nearly 80 large-caliber unconscionable guns were transported to the front line by Li Dingguo, which was Li Dingguo's killer move. The Japanese troops in the northeast had never seen the conscienceless artillery, let alone the power of the conscienceless cannon, so they suffered a great loss at the beginning of the battle, and the thirteen pillbox groups placed in the forward positions were destroyed almost without any effect.
As mentioned earlier, the greatest lethality of the unconscionable cannon is not the explosion killing, but the huge shock wave and vibration produced by the explosion. Unless the Japanese bunker was hit head-on by the explosive pack, all the Japanese soldiers in the bunker would have been killed.
In an hour and a half, Ichino cleared all the Japanese positions on the periphery of Dunhua, and the next step was to attack the city wall. Dunhua is an old city, the city wall is very tall, the Japanese army has indeed pulled down the blood to renovate, the bluestone battlements of the city wall are all replaced by reinforced concrete, there is a heavy machine gun almost every ten meters, the first round of tentative attacks made an infantry company in Yiye almost all left there.
Li Dingguo ordered all the artillery of Yiye to shell at the north gate city wall, as long as the city wall was blown down, then the next battle would be solved. The most surprising thing in the battle was those puppet troops, these people were pure northeasterners, since the establishment of the puppet state of Manchukuo, with the support of the Japanese, a total of nearly 300,000 troops have been formed, although these troops have different names, what national defense army, Jiangshang army, guards and so on are insufficient. However, these puppet Manchurian troops are different from the puppet army in Guannai, and their combat effectiveness is still very strong.
Compared with the Japanese army in the Guan, the Japanese army outside the Guanxi still gave a great guarantee to the treatment of the puppet army, so these puppet troops fought really well. Besides, there is also the protection of the old and young in the former Qing Dynasty, so the puppet army in the Northeast really can't be divided according to the standards of the Guannai.
The puppet army in the northeast is an accomplice in the encirclement and suppression of the Anti-United Nations, and when they fought against the Anti-United Nations before, they also had a certain understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Anti-United Nations. But now after being hit by Yiye, all the puppet troops were stunned, is this still a squadron, this firepower and this discipline are better than the Japanese, a large number of puppet soldiers retreated, and some puppet soldiers even thought of surrendering.
The city wall of Dunhua has been hundreds of years, and if there is no baptism of war, I am afraid it can hold out for hundreds of years, but under the blow of modern thermal weapons, this centuries-old city finally collapsed in unwillingness. As the northern wall fell, Ichino's soldiers rushed to the breach. …,
"Da Da Da"
"Da Da Da"
Although the remnants of the Japanese army resisted to the death, they were still powerless, and two hours later, Yiye occupied the entire Dunhua City. More than 3,000 officers and soldiers of the 2nd Brigade of the 14th Infantry Division of the puppet Manchukuo rebelled on the battlefield under the leadership of brigade commander Liu Zhenyuan, and took advantage of the Japanese army's unpreparedness to quickly take the arsenal and arsenal in Dunhua City, and also took control of the railway station. After Yiye entered the city, Liu Zhenyuan ordered the troops to cooperate with the First Field Army to clear the remnants of the enemy in the city.
The political significance of Liu Zhenyuan's uprising is very significant, because it was the first battlefield uprising of cadres above the regimental level since the founding of the Northeast People's Liberation Army. After the news was reported to the headquarters, Lu Zhengcao immediately appointed Liu Zhenyuan as the commander of the Dunhua Independent Brigade, and sent Jiang Haiyun, deputy chief of the first section of the intelligence department of the headquarters, to him as political commissar. At the same time, Lu Zhengcao also asked Han Yunhua to quickly mobilize a propaganda machine to vigorously report on this matter in order to disintegrate the Japanese puppet army in Northeast China.
Of course, Han Yunhua readily agreed, and he was very satisfied with the battle of Lu Zhengcao's department, but he did not agree with Lu Zhengcao's conservative style of play, and the 300,000 troops of the Northeast People's Liberation Army were all nested in the central and eastern parts of Jilin, which was not Han Yunhua's original intention of sending them to the east.
Of course, Han Yunhua also knew what Lu Zhengcao was worried about, after all, they only had 300,000 people now, while the enemy had 1.2 million, more than 4 times as many as them. Therefore, Lu Zhengcao could only carefully arrange the battle to prevent being plotted by the Japanese. However, Han Yunhua was not afraid, because there were still five or six hundred thousand troops of the Inner Mongolia Military Region in the northeast periphery. Moreover, the Japanese are on an expedition of laborers, and the people of Northeast China hate them to the core.
At about 5 p.m. on July 25, when the main force of the Japanese 75th Division arrived at Songjiang, which was only 25 kilometers away from Jiaohe, Li Dingguo's First Field Army had completely wiped out the remnants of the enemy in Dunhua City and was actively expanding its results. At 8 o'clock in the evening, the main force of the 75th Division and Wan Yi's 1st Brigade and 1st Regiment exchanged fire in Xinnong Town, on the outskirts of Jiaohe City, and the battle was extremely fierce.
At 8 o'clock in the morning of the 26th, the 78th Division and the 131st Independent Brigade of the Japanese Army stationed in Huadian also suddenly went north, marching very fast, and it seemed that they wanted to reinforce the 75th Division. At 10 o'clock, the infantry wing that set off from Jilin County yesterday also rushed to the periphery of Jiaohe, and joined up with the paratrooper wing, so far Wan Yi's sixth division can be said to be surrounded by the Japanese army, the west of the city is two infantry wings totaling more than 6,000 people, the east of the city is the main force of the 75th Division of more than 8,000 Japanese troops and more than 6,000 puppet troops, and the south of the city is an infantry division and an infantry brigade, totaling more than 22,000 people. That is to say, at the latest at eight o'clock tonight, the Japanese puppet army around Jiaohe will reach more than 40,000 people.
However, Wan Yi is not worried at all, although his sixth division has only more than 20,000 people, but there are more than 30,000 people in the 7th Division directly under the jurisdiction of the PLA headquarters in the north of Jiaohe, and at the same time, there are more than 15,000 cavalry divisions in Sidaogou in the south of the city.
However, the news that came immediately made the Japanese side panic, and at about 11 o'clock in the evening of the 26th, Antu, Yanji and Tumen were attacked by the squadron at the same time, and all three cities were lost overnight, and the defenders of the three infantry wings were surrounded and annihilated. Immediately afterwards, Longjing, Helong, Hunchun and Fusong were also attacked by the squadron, and the 4 infantry wings stationed in these 4 counties and nearly 8,000 puppet troops were annihilated.
On the 27th, Li Zhaolin's Second Field Army captured Tokyo and Ning'an. Zhao Shangzhi's Third Field Army captured Qitaihe, Linkou, and Mashan. For a time, the entire central and eastern parts of Northeast China became the world of the Northeast People's Liberation Army, and the entire Japanese Kwantung Army was in an extremely passive situation. Under the orders of Lu Zhengcao, the entire Northeast People's Liberation Army rapidly expanded its achievements.
When the Northeast People's Liberation Army launched the Northeast Stew Expansion Campaign, Han Yunhua was not idle, and he was also actively planning a larger-scale campaign. Han Yunhua learned that Kazuo Takashima, one of the leaders of the Japanese Kwantung Army's bacteriological research, had been captured, and at the same time 12 elite researchers from Japan's Water Supply and Epidemic Prevention Department were also captured. …,
After learning of the situation, Han Yunhua was overjoyed and ordered Lu Zhengcao to select a group of capable forces to immediately send these Japanese prisoners of war to Boli in the Soviet Union and hand them over to Lieutenant General Ivanov, commander of the Soviet Far East Military District. At the same time, Han Yunhua also ordered all news newspapers in the area to publicize the achievements of the Northeast People's Liberation Army and make people pay attention to the Northeast.
For the next stage of the battle, Han Yunhua reorganized the six major army subdivisions under the jurisdiction of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, and this reorganization was mainly aimed at the troops at the division level, and had nothing to do with the brigade and regiment and the troops below. After consulting the central authorities, the Inner Mongolia Military Region still has military subdivisions under the military regions, but there are military-level units under the military subdivisions, and the following are division-level units. According to the results of the reorganization, the Saibei Army Subdivision was eventually reorganized into four field armies and one cavalry group, each field army has three infantry divisions and some directly subordinate units under its jurisdiction in accordance with the establishment of the Northeast People's Liberation Army, with a total strength of more than 73,000 troops, and the cavalry group is determined by itself according to the number of cavalry in different army divisions, such as the cavalry group of the Saibei Army Subdivision is composed of three cavalry.
After the reorganization of the Northeast Army Division, there were 3 field armies and 4 cavalry groups; After the reorganization of the Eastern Hebei Army Division, it consists of 5 field armies and 1 cavalry group (3 cavalry divisions); After the reorganization of the Beiping Army Division, there were 5 field armies and 1 cavalry group (2 cavalry divisions); After the reorganization of the Jizhong Military Division, there are 3 field armies and 1 cavalry group (1 cavalry division); After the reorganization of the Southern Hebei Army Division, it consists of 6 field armies and 1 cavalry group (3 cavalry divisions).
The headquarters of the Inner Mongolia Military Region has also carried out a major reorganization of the units directly under its jurisdiction, and after the reorganization, the troops will have a total of two field armies, a cavalry group, an artillery group, and a tank group.
The reason why Han Yunhua wanted to reorganize the troops under the command of the military region was inseparable from his next stage of fighting: Originally, to deal with the Japanese troops in Guannai, the troops at the division level were sufficient, and it was not enough to set up a command headquarters at or above the division level. But Han Yunhua was thinking about how to eliminate the Kwantung Army in one fell swoop, and the Kwantung Army had 33 complete infantry divisions and 9 independent infantry brigades in the northeast alone. It is divided into three front armies, six armies, and units directly under the headquarters, and if there is no relatively stable troop establishment against such an enemy, it will be greatly inconvenient to command.
Moreover, Han Yunhua still has a lot of ideas about the next battle, and it may not be that China is not a country that sent troops to the Northeast. If the plan can be implemented by then, then we must not be embarrassed in front of international friends. The strength of a unit's combat effectiveness is absolutely important to its command, and if something goes wrong in command, it will be fatal.
The battle in the northeast is still going on, and the eight immortals on both sides have crossed the sea to show their magical powers, and the fight is extremely tragic. In order to support Lu Zhengcao's headquarters, Han Yunhua ordered the air force to immediately send troops to the northeast to carry out strategic bombing of the important strongholds and facilities of the Japanese puppet army.
Although the Kwantung Army, which had no air force support, still had the upper hand in terms of overall combat effectiveness, because its forces were relatively scattered and it was not suitable to concentrate them, the Northeast People's Liberation Army temporarily gained the upper hand in the battles in the central and eastern parts of the Northeast.
On July 29, Stalin telegraphed Han Yunhua that, according to the counterattack plan he had drawn up, the great Soviet army had recaptured most of the North Caucasus by the beginning of June. And in the Battle of Kursk, the German armored forces were inflicted heavy losses, and the great Kursk victory was achieved.
In the Battle of Kursk, the Soviet army, in accordance with the battle plan formulated by Han Yunhua before, greatly defended the Kursk salient and sent regular elite troops with the help of the guerrillas to disrupt the German army's logistics support system, resulting in the Soviet army's war resources not being able to reach the battlefield in time during the battle. The most important thing is that, according to Han Yunhua's suggestion, the Soviet army hoarded anti-tank weapons and tanks in the Kursk region early, and by the end of June, the number of Soviet tanks in the Kursk region had exceeded 5,000, of which 2,200 were the latest T34 improved tanks.
On the morning of June 19, the decisive battle of Kursk began, but in the face of the extremely stubborn defense of the Soviet army, the German offensive had little effect. On the 12th, a tank encounter took place in the little-known village of Prokhorovka in the direction of Oboyan, the gateway to the southern flank of the Kursk salient, but the Soviets were extremely well prepared, and the German armored cluster of 1,800 tanks was encountered, but it was encountered by an armored cluster of 3,690 tanks. When the boiling stream of tanks combined with infantry, artillery and aviation converged into a small village, the largest tank battle in the world's military history broke out. At dusk, the Soviet army, which was fighting two against one, won a crucial victory in this decisive battle. On July 26, the Soviets recaptured Kharkov, and the Battle of Kursk ended with a complete Soviet victory. After the victory of the Soviet army, Stalin was overjoyed, and after dealing with the finished matters, he sent Han Yunhua good news.
