Chapter 599: Northeast Stew

In fact, although the combat effectiveness of Lu Zhengcao's department is not bad, it is far from being as powerful as Yamada Otozo thought. Although Nancun Shaoza claims to be the strength of an infantry brigade, it is actually less than 800 people, plus more than 400 puppet troops, there are only more than 1,200 people, and a complete infantry brigade of the Japanese army is 1,280 people.

The attack on Jiaohe was the 6th Infantry Division directly under the Northeast People's Liberation Army Headquarters, and Lao Dizi was a main regiment of the Jizhong Military Region. Later, he followed Lu Zhengcao back to fight in the Northeast, more than half of the soldiers were from the Northeast, this time at home, no, it should be fighting in his own home, how could he not work hard.

It was not all the troops of the Sixth Division that attacked Jiaohe, and the headquarters of the Sixth Division was stationed in Laoyeling, southwest of Jiaohe. According to the intelligence information from the intelligence department, a group of military doctors came to Jiaohe not long ago, and there was also a major general officer and a large number of cars that followed this group of military doctors.

Lu Zhengcao suddenly remembered the Japanese biochemical unit that the commander had paid special attention to, and the detailed information about this unit was only known to Commander Han Yunhua himself, but every time Lu Zhengcao saw the commander's gritted teeth when he talked about this biochemical force, he knew that Commander Han Yunhua hated this unit. The last attack on Qiqihar allowed this *** army to escape, and this time I can't say anything and let *** slip away.

Wan Yi, the commander of the Sixth Division, is also a veteran of the Northeast Army, after the Northeast Army entered the customs, he has been working for the Nationalist Government, and later secretly joined the party and was invited back to the Northeast by Lu Zhengcao, and is currently the commander and political commissar of the Sixth Division of the Northeast People's Liberation Army. There is nothing polite to Wan Yi's old fellow Lu Zhengcao, Lu Zhengcao just tells Wan Yi what he wants to achieve, as for how to take Jiaohe and eliminate the Japanese biochemical troops, it all depends on the Sixth Division's own consideration.

Wan Yi is not a vegetarian, he knows that it will not be difficult to storm this Jiaohe county town with the current strength of the Sixth Division, but the casualties will definitely not be small, and it will be even more bad if the Japanese air force is attracted, so he came up with a plan to encircle the point and send reinforcements and then end it in one pot.

In fact, this plan is also simple to say, and there is no technical content, but it involves some local terms. The new station is just a station, a small station on the train passage from Changchun to Yanji. Although the Xinzhan railway station is small, the geographical location is really important, so the Japanese puppet army placed an infantry squadron and an infantry company of the puppet army here. Fortified turrets and several small pillboxes were also built, and the level of defense was very high, which was difficult to overcome from the outside.

In order to conquer this small place, Wan Yi ordered the troops to hijack a train from the place of Tiangang. The train, which was a wagon, was bound for Yanji from Changchun and was not intended to stop at the small place of the new station. But now the driver belonging to Japan has been killed, and the rest of the matter is, of course, the final say of the Sixth Division.

In order to completely eliminate the Japanese puppet forces around Jiaohe, Wan Yi sent all 22,000 people of the Sixth Division out at once, except for a brigade and a regiment that were completely sent out to attack Jiaohe, the rest were all battalions and companies to attack the large and small tunzi garrisoned by the Japanese army.

Wan Yi is a native of Northeast China, and he likes the dishes of his hometown very much, and his favorite dish is the dish of Northeast stew, which is the authentic taste of his hometown. As the name suggests, all the ingredients that can be seen are stewed in a large pot, and you can eat potatoes, corn, gourds, etc. from it, and it tastes very good. The battle against Jiaohe this time is very similar to this dish, so the thing named this battle Northeast Stew. …,

Stewing is a hodgepodge, Wan Yi saw that the battle against the Japanese puppet strongholds in Jiaohe and its surrounding places was also a hodgepodge, Wan Yi's order was that there was no main direction of attack, there was no specific command headquarters, the troops destroyed a Japanese stronghold and immediately moved forward, and after all the tasks assigned to your squad by the superior department were completed, the troops should not stay where they were, and immediately return to the Laoyeling garrison.

The battle to attack the new station went very smoothly, and even the Japanese army could not have imagined that the train coming from the previous station would have a large number of squadrons sitting on it, and these squadrons were still wearing the standard uniforms of the Kwantung Army, and all the weapons and equipment were exactly the same as those of the Kwantung Army, and most of the conversations were in Japanese. Before the leader of the defending squadron could recognize who the Shao Zuo in front of him was, he was shot through his head.

By surprise, the more than 200 Japanese troops stationed at the new station were all wiped out with only hasty resistance. However, one thing is quite admirable, that is, despite the absolute disadvantage of the defenders, no one surrendered, and even when there were less than 20 men left, they resisted until they were all killed. As for the infantry company of the puppet army, it was much more seeded, and after the Japanese army was wiped out, these guys with tenacious vitality who were more cockroaches than cockroaches quickly surrendered to the 2nd battalion of the 1st brigade and 1st regiment of the 6th Division under the leadership of the commander of the puppet army company with a head as big as a ball. The most surprising thing is that in the fierce battle just now, not a single soldier of this puppet infantry company was killed, only two seriously wounded and 8 lightly wounded, this data made Li Ziqiang, the commander of the 2nd battalion, really a little crying and laughing.

Under the guidance of the puppet army company commander, Li Ziqiang, the commander of the 2nd battalion, used the phone at the station to make a call to the Japanese troops in Jiaohe City, and told Nancun Shaozuo that there happened to be an imperial military train stranded at the station, which was slowly more than a dozen carriages of munitions, and now the offensive of the people of China is very fierce, and he asked Shaozuo to immediately reinforce the new station, otherwise this batch of arms is likely to fall into the hands of the people.

This is not Li Ziqiang's nonsense, I didn't know what this truck was loaded with before, the first carriage was loaded with military uniforms, and the second and third carriages were also military uniforms and uniforms, so at first Li Ziqiang thought that all of them were military uniforms, so he didn't check them carefully. But when he arrived at the new station, he found that the last five carriages were all temporarily new weapons and equipment, which seemed to be the equipment of a complete infantry brigade, 800 38 big covers, 12 Type 92 heavy machine guns, 24 Taisho 11 young machine guns, 8 60 mortars, 12 grenadiers and a large amount of ammunition. The 6 carriages full of these things were all these things, and Li Ziqiang was originally puzzled, just for the sake of these military uniforms and little devils, as for the use of a reinforced infantry squad to escort them, it was more than 100 Japanese soldiers, and this train only had a total of 14 carriages, so there was no need for so many people to escort them. Now that he understands, so many weapons and equipment are not at ease for the little devils. But anyway, this time he took advantage of this camp, and it was comfortable.

Despite the current wolf smoke, more than a dozen towns and thousands of villages under the jurisdiction of Jiaohe are all asking for help. But Nancun Shaozo still decided to lead troops to reinforce the new station, after all, the geographical position is important, and this fatal military column has to be saved, otherwise he will have a great responsibility as the garrison commander when the accounts are settled after the autumn.

There are more than 600 Japanese troops and more than 300 puppet troops in Jiaohe City, fortunately, a few days ago, a group of experts came to the water epidemic prevention department, accompanied by an infantry squadron escort, so the city defense was simply handed over, and Nancun Shaozo rushed to the new station with 800 Japanese puppet soldiers.

However, what Nancun Shaoza did not expect was that in a mountain col less than 5 kilometers away from the new station, they were subjected to a shameful sneak attack by the Shina troops. As a commander, you have to check whether there is an ambush before entering the forest and entering the mountain, this is the simplest common sense of marching and fighting, although Nancun Shaozo is in a hurry, but he does not dare to omit this step. The three three-wheeled bi-bucket motorcycles in front of them opened the way, and the machine guns mounted on the motorcycles carried out fire reconnaissance everywhere, and did not find anything abnormal, so Minamura Shaosa would let the large army pass through the mountain pass. …,

But as soon as they all entered the col, there were fierce gunfire on both sides of the col, and at the same time the sound of mortars, soldiers were constantly killed, cars were constantly blown up, and the entire col suddenly became a Shura field.

It turned out that the 1st Brigade and 1st Regiment of the 6th Division had only sent one company to ambush on the edge of the mountain pass, and the rest of the large troops were hiding in a mountain forest one kilometer away from the mountain pass. All the battles were hidden in pre-dug ditches covered with camouflage, so although Minamimura Shaosa's fire reconnaissance was done correctly, it did not play any role in such an ambush. Soon after the battle broke out, the large army rushed to the ambush circle of the mountain pass, and Minamimura Shaoza and his 800 soldiers were completely the king of the urn.

The stew tactics were very successful, as of 3 o'clock in the afternoon of the 24th, all the strongholds in the entire Jiaohe area except for the county seat were cleared, and a total of more than 2,100 Japanese puppet troops were eliminated, including 722 captured puppet soldiers.

At present, there is no one who is most anxious than Major General Kazuo Takashima, who this time went to the area where the bandits in Jiaohe were seriously affected by the order of His Excellency Shiro Ishii to carry out bacteriological tests, and he not only brought with him the current deputy minister of the Ministry of Water Supply and Epidemic Prevention, but also brought six experts from the Ministry of Water Supply and Epidemic Prevention.

It was originally a very simple mission, but Major General Takashima was depressed and found that his luck was really not very good, and the people of China actually attacked Jiaohe at this time, and the momentum was extremely huge. The stupid guy of the Jiaohe garrison commander has been walking for more than 3 hours, and he has just received an urgent telegram from the headquarters saying that the bastard has died with the people of China, and now this large county town can only be defended by the reinforced squadron he brought and more than 100 other security forces of China.

As a first-class veterinarian, Takashima's best skill is not to march to war, and he, a major general, did not obtain it by fighting, so he has no choice but to pray to the almighty Amaterasu not to abandon your people, and let those evil Shina people retreat.

Apparently the one who was dozing off at the request of Major General Takashima did not pay attention to him, the poor army general, and his adjutant, Captain Matsushima Shichiro, hurriedly ran in and said: "Your Excellency, General, you must evacuate here immediately, the large army of the Chinese people has already attacked, and the humble duty has already seen it, and there are thousands of people, and we only have 3 or 4 hundred people, and we cannot resist the attack of the Chinese people at all, so you and the Thousand Island Doctor must leave immediately." ”

"Matsushima, we can't do without it, just now His Excellency Commander Yamada sent a telegram saying that there is a war going on on a territory of thousands of kilometers centered on this place where we are, and it is the people of China who are attacking, yes, you heard it right, it is the people who are attacking. Even if we get out of the city, we can't go far, there are troops of the Shina people everywhere, and now we can only hold on here and wait for reinforcements. His Excellency the Commander assured that the first reinforcements would arrive in 1 hour and the second by 8 a.m. tomorrow, so all we have to do now is hold out for an hour. Gao Zhi Major General said helplessly.

"Hay! I believe that with the most elite guard unit of our water supply and epidemic prevention department, not to say an hour, even if it is 3 hours, there is no problem, but the question is whether our reinforcements can arrive within an hour, as far as the humble knows, the nearest unit to us here is in Dunhua, but it is also hundreds of kilometers away from the small city where we are, and there is no day that cannot be reached, unless they can fly for an hour. Captain Matsushima said.

Matsushima may have been unintentional, but it was true that the reinforcements sent by Yamada Otozo were indeed flying, and the paratroopers of an entire infantry wing were rushing from Changchun Airport to Jiaohe.

Although Major General Takashima is not good at operational command, there is indeed a capable person in the Japanese army, this person is called Muto Kazuki, with the rank of captain and the position of squadron leader. This Captain Muto is not an ordinary person, the 48-year-old Captain Muto was once a real son of heaven, serving as the captain of the Daizo Wing, and was later demoted and retained by the military department because of a major mistake. …,

Although his post was reduced, he did not forget the experience of leading troops to fight. Captain Muto knew that it would be impossible to garrison the entire county with more than 400 people in his hands, and these people couldn't even fill the fortifications of the ring city, let alone hold on for how long. Therefore, Captain Muto made the most correct defensive plan in the shortest possible time, and he ordered the troops to blow up all the civilian houses around the headquarters, clear the field of sight, and try not to leave any blind spots for shooting. At the same time, some of the civilian houses around the garrison headquarters were opened, and then all the troops were concentrated in this area, Captain Muto knew that his task was to hold out for 1 hour, and he didn't need to do anything else, so there was no need to stick to the entire county, and the focus on defense was the most correct.

At the same time, Captain Muto also ordered the troops to take out all the weapons and equipment in the county, especially the heavy machine guns, which must be one every 20 meters. Anyway, if those weapons and equipment are not used, they will fall into the hands of the Chinese people.

The battle did not go as smoothly as Wan Yi imagined, and the originally elite county defenders were only 300 people left, how could they withstand the siege of the two regiments of the squadron. Besides, in such a large county, as long as one place is breached, then the defense of the entire county town will be broken. The reason why two regiments were sent here was entirely to prepare for the evacuation of the county seat.

But what Wan Yi didn't expect was that the Japanese army defending the city neither broke through nor surrendered, but abandoned the seemingly strong fortifications on the periphery of the county, but in fact full of holes, and re-established a defensive line on the periphery of the garrison headquarters, which was not large in depth, only less than 300 meters, but the defense was extremely effective.

Half an hour after the battle began, the attacking 6th Division, 1st Brigade and 2nd Regiment organized six charges, and although the casualties were great, they had no effect at all. The defensive firepower of the Japanese army was so fierce that as soon as the battle began, there was a crackling of gunfire, and the crossfire composed of more than 30 heavy machine guns and dozens of light machine guns was enough to beat the charging Chinese soldiers into a sieve. In just half an hour of the battle, the 2 regiment lost more than 200 people. What puzzled Zhang Zhigang, the commander of the Second Regiment, the most, was that the Japanese army's fortifications were too tricky, and because the frontal field was too small, the maximum number of troops invested in performance at one time was one company, and any more would not work.

A company of infantry wanted to crush the fire network of 400 people head-on, it was a dream, although the mortar attack was quite effective, but because the Japanese trenches were very immoral, and the civilian area was inside, the large-scale artillery bombardment would definitely cause huge civilian casualties, so the second regiment had a large number of mortars but could not be used.

Let's not talk about the hard fighting of the troops of the Sixth Division here, and then talk about the battles in other places, because the attack on Jiaohe was Lu Zhengcao's temporary intention, so many commanders were not clear about this matter. However, because the battle in the Jiaohe area was too fierce, and the battle situation was becoming more and more unfavorable to the Japanese army, and Major General Takashima and others were too special to fall into the hands of the squadron, General Yamada Otosan ordered the main force of the 75th Division, which was making every effort to resist the attack and harassment of Li Dingguo's troops, to immediately set off from Dunhua and rush to Jiaohe by train.

So a surprising battle happened, the side that was fighting fiercely suddenly withdrew from the battle, hurriedly covered each other and rushed to Dunhua City, in just two hours, all the strongholds on the periphery of Dunhua City were abandoned by the Japanese army one after another, and a large number of infantry began to assemble in the city.

After another hour, under the opening of the railway patrol armored car, a column of troops drove out of Dunhua City and headed in the direction of Jiaohe.

After receiving the report from the front, Li Dingguo immediately asked the PLA headquarters what had happened, and after receiving an exact answer, Li Dingguo was overjoyed and immediately ordered the troops on the front line to blow up the railway leading to Jiaohe at all costs, slowing down the advance of the Japanese army, and at the same time ordering the main force of the First Field Army to immediately retract, and the First Field and First Division immediately blocked the 75th Division between Liushuquan and Weihuling, and the other military headquarters immediately went to the periphery of Dunhua, and he wanted to give the Japanese puppet army another big one in Dunhua.
