Chapter 828: Everything That Should Come (continued)
Commanded by the Japanese First Division, the Second Division, the Fifth Division, and the Armored Brigade was Lieutenant General Naosaburo Okabe, commander of the Japanese First Division.
Since he was shot by Liu Bin, a sniper of the Eighth Route Army, in Su County, Xiao ** has become more and more depressed, and his eyes have changed when he looks at people, especially women, and he always gives people a feeling of disgust.
The only pleasure that Yu's Okabe Naosaburo lives in the world now is fighting, and all other pleasures are lost because there is no small **.
This time, Naosaburo Okabe once again used his tactics to capture Vladivostok, the central city of the Soviet Far East, with the three most elite divisions and armored brigades of the Great Japanese Empire under his control.
Gangbu Naosaburo's plan was to rely on the Suifenhe and Dongning fortress groups to attract the Soviet Red Army in the Far East to the fortress group positions and annihilate them, and to form a roundabout army on the left and right flanks with the second division, the fifth division, and armored brigades, outflanking the main force of the Red Army in the Far East and annihilating it, and then capturing Vladivostok.
The 1st Division served as the general reserve.
This Gangbu Naosaburo also didn't want to think that if the Soviet Union and Japan fought like that in the Nomenkhan area, the Red Army in the Far East would be defenseless? I'm afraid they have been waiting for the Japanese army at any time!
The fortress group on which Okabe Naosaburo relied was built by order of the Kwantung Army in 1934. According to the plan of the Kwantung Army Headquarters, a total of 14 military fortified positions were built on the border of the "Manchu Soviet Union" and "Manchu Méng" on the border from Hunchun in Jilin in the south to Hailar in the north. The first phase of the project was completed by the end of 1937, and the second phase of the project was scheduled to be completed just this year.
When the construction of the permanent fortress project began, the Kwantung Army established 15 border garrison teams, each with a total establishment of about 1,500 people, and 14 border garrison teams with a total establishment of 22,781 people, equivalent to a field division of the Japanese army.
Among the 14 military fortification positions on the national border, 10 are distributed on the eastern border of Manchu and the Soviet Union, and three of them are concentrated in the 300-kilometer-long border line of Hunchun, Dongning, and Suifenhe, and Suifenhe City alone has three military fortified positions of Suifenhe, Lumingtai, and Guanyuetai, which are respectively garrisoned by the 2nd, 10th, and 11th border garrisons of the Kwantung Army.
The 2nd National Border Garrison Garrison, which is stationed at the military fortification position on the Suifenhe border, is composed of engineers and artillery, including 6 engineer squadrons, 2 artillery squadrons, 18 light artillery pieces, 4 heavy artillery pieces, and 8 anti-aircraft guns; The 10th Frontier Garrison stationed at Lumingtai and the 11th Frontier Garrison stationed at Guanyue Terrace have the same establishment and equipment, each with 5 engineering squadrons and about 1.5 artillery squadrons.
These three fortress groups have different forces in each position. The allocation of troops is mainly determined by factors such as the importance of the position, the size of the position, and the advantages and disadvantages of the terrain. The setting of fire support points and fire networks "is aimed at controlling and guarding the transportation hubs and open areas between the mountains." The positions intersect each other, the firepower is dense, the core position is condescending, whether it is a high mountain or an open area, trenches, anti-tank trenches, barbed wire fences crisscross each other, and most of the trenches in the key defense areas are V-shaped and S-shaped according to the mountainous terrain
It is made of a three-fold structure of the upper and lower shapes, with a depth of up to 100 cm, and is made of stone and sand on one side. The permanent artillery positions were connected by tunnels to the light rail railway. There are a total of 295 permanent firepower points, 145 civil and wooden firepower points, and 29 command and observation posts. The underground permanent fortifications include soldiers' dormitories, officers' dormitories, command rooms, communication rooms, ammunition depots, etc., all of which are connected by a 1.8-meter-high and wide corridor, with as few as C-floors."
Generally, there are two floors, and some have three floors.
It can be said that the Suifenhe Sanzao) fortress group is the most densely distributed, the most concentrated stationed troops, the most complete equipped with troops, and the border fortress group with dual military functions of attack and defense among the 14 border fortification positions of the Kwantung Army. It is not only an outpost for preparing for the attack on the Soviet Union, but also a bridgehead for advancing into the Primorsky Border of the Soviet Union and a border base for mobilizing troops and military supplies.
The Kwantung Army never forgot to prepare for war against the Soviet Union, and let the Manchurian Railway overhaul the railway in the northeast "The small Suifenhe City, because it is located on the border, has an important strategic location" In order to strengthen the military transportation capacity of the eastern border, the Kwantung Army built a double railway line in Suiyang, Mudanjiang, Harbin" and connected the two railways of Suining and Xingning, and communicated the two lines of Hasui and Tujia, forming an eastern border railway network centered on the Mudanjiang River. And that's not all, the Kwantung Army also built more than 40 airfields in the eastern region, and there are three airfields in the Suifenhe area alone. Among them, the largest Suifenhe Airport, in addition to the military, has two flights a week to and from Mudanjiang, Tonghua, Dongning, Muling, Hunchun and other places
Before the troops' action, Naosaburo Okabe led the commander of the 2nd Division, Toji Yasai, the commander of the 5th Division, Jun Imamura, the commander of the armored brigade, Hoshino Toshimoto, and the chiefs of staff and brigade commanders of the three divisions disguised themselves as fur merchants and secretly inspected the Suifenhe.
Gangbe Naosaburo may have been thorned by the imminent war, Yīn Yu's face showed a hint of flushing, looking at the city of Suifenhe to the generals around him: "This Suifenhe was called Binshui in the Tang Dynasty, Subinshui and Xianpin Water in the Jin Dynasty, and it was called Supinjiang and Xianpin River in the Ming Dynasty, and it was called Suifenhe in the Qing Dynasty. Suifen, Manchu means awl, because there is a kind of sharp cone-like snail growing in the Suifen River, so the Manchus call it Suifenhe. In fact, the Suifen River is only a medium-sized river that originates in the foothills of the Changbai Mountains and empties into the Sea of Japan, but it is this small river that meanders out of the mountains and alluvial into the Dongning Plain in front of you. Ladies and gentlemen, how do you feel when you see these beautiful mountains and rivers? ””
The commander of the Second Division, Toji Yasui, was also a war maniac, looking at the cityscape of Suifenhe and the beautiful mountains and rivers, he couldn't help but stick out his tongue and say movingly: "It's so beautiful! Fortunately, it was protected by the Japanese Army. Otherwise, the weakness and ** of the Echinans will sooner or later be occupied by the Russians. Let's think about it, the Ussuri River was originally an inland river in China, and the Russians forced the Manchu government of China to sign the "Beijing Treaty" and cut off 400,000 square kilometers of land at once. It is a beautiful and rich plain and a mountain full of minerals and primeval forests. Just thinking about it makes you want to recite the Psalms! Let me say, "This one is like a fat pig, and whoever kills the meat will belong to him." Simply cancel Manchukuo and directly turn it into a special state of Manchukuo in the Great Japanese Empire. ,”
The commander of the Fifth Division, Jun Imamura, grinned and smirked when he heard this: "Yo Xi, Yo Xi! ,”
When Okabe Naosaburo saw Jun Imamura's stupid appearance, a smile also appeared on Yīn Yu's face, and he quipped, "Imamura-kun, what do you mean by Yo Sai Yo Xi?" ,,Imamura smirked: "I mean very good, very interesting. Gangbujun, think about it, this Suifenhe was only divided into an exclusive railway area when the East Road Railway was built. In a small town, the flags of eighteen countries are flying.
Known as the flag town, it is simply a small pocket country. It was after the establishment of Suifenhe City in 1926. The streets are still full of flags fluttering, merchants gathered, and all kinds of people can be seen everywhere. It's a pity that we came late, if we came to "not a small Suifenhe" at that time, we could taste the flavors of various European beauties. ,”
A group of Japanese generals laughed at this.
Okabe Naosaburo patted Imamura Jun on the shoulder: "Imamura-kun, there are white Russian beauties and mixed-race beauties in this Suifenhe, it depends on whether your appetite is good or not." And, you know, Vladivostok is the center of the Far East of Soviet Russia, and the beautiful beauties of Soviet Russia are looking forward to the arrival of the warriors of the Great Japanese Empire. Please keep in mind that whoever attacks the city first will have a three-day holiday! It's only 210 kilometers from Vladivostok! ,”
Naosaburo Okabe this guy. I can't be humane, I hate women when I see them, and in order to boost morale at this moment, I actually took Russian beauties to yòuhuò Imamura Jun!
Imamura's face was full of smirks: "I heard that the Russian flower girl is tall, **big, and snow-white like milk. Gangbe-kun: "Don't worry, the Fifth Division will definitely rush into Vladivostok first."
The commander of the armored brigade, Hoshino Toshimoto, put forward a different opinion, that is, instead of attacking Vladivostok, it is better to reinforce the Sixth Army. Fighting on two fronts was a taboo, and if the Sixth Army could not support it, the Soviet army might drive straight into the heart of Manchuria. That's the answer to the old Chinese saying: lose the watermelon and pick up the sesame seeds!
Naosaburo Okabe said confidently, "Don't worry. If the Sixth Army can't support it, there will still be reinforcements from the Third Army and the Fifth Army. The Kwantung Army has hundreds of thousands of troops, and the troops are very sufficient. ,”
Hoshino Toshimoto is still a little uneasy. Again, it was pointed out that this campaign was not explicitly authorized by the base camp: "This is a deep operation on the border of the Soviet Union, which involves state-to-state relations, and such a reckless action may be investigated by the base camp in the future."
Imamura didn't want to listen to such words, his Fifth Division had already been replenished and reorganized, and the Suifenhe area was no better than Nomenhan, where birds don't, but here was backed by railway lines and numerous airfields, and logistical support was guaranteed. As long as it crossed the border of the Soviet Union, with the combat effectiveness of the 5th Division, the 2nd Division, the Panzer Brigade and the 1st Division, the purged Red Army in the Far East was definitely no match for the Japanese army. Therefore, Imamura Jun immediately retorted to Hoshino Toshimoto: "Hoshino-kun, yours is not the work of a great Japanese samurai, but purely a small-footed woman in Shina.
The guys in the base camp, of course, won't explicitly authorize it. Back then, Ishihara-kun, Itagaki-kun,
Tu Fei Yuanjun instigated the Manchurian Incident, did he get the authorization of the base camp? If you wait for the authorization of the base camp, will there be today's Manchukuo? As soon as we rush over and occupy Vladivostok, the cabinet will immediately meet, and reinforcements and salaries will be poured in a steady stream. What are you afraid of? ,”
Imamura's words are actually the common voice of this group of Japanese generals, including Hoshino Toshimoto, he doesn't really want to object, he just wants to be safe and get clear instructions from the base camp.
As a result, on August 24, the Japanese armored brigade took the lead in crossing the border and carrying out a roundabout sneak attack.
Behind it were the 5th and 2nd Divisions, which were the best at roundabout sneak attacks by the Japanese army, which were operating simultaneously on the northern and southern fronts. On the Suifen River, the 1st Division, which served as the general reserve, sent a brigade to launch a fierce assault on the positions of the Soviet Red Army under the cover of aircraft artillery. Attract the attention of the Soviet army, try to make the main force of the Soviet army counterattack, and lead it to the fortress group of Suifenhe.
This time, unlike the Battle of Normenhan, the actions of the Japanese army were not concealed for long, and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and Liu Yimin knew about it. The reason is that the Suifen River is the terminus of the eastern part of the Eastern Railway, and it is very convenient to go to Vladivostok and Chita. In those years, the delegates to the Sixth National Congress of the Communist Party of China went to Moscow through this secret communication line.
Liu Yimin originally encouraged Huang Wei to open a military forum column in Wen Wei Po in order to encourage the Japanese army to take risks. He knew that although the combat effectiveness of the Soviet Red Army had declined after the Great Purge, it must have been an army supported by a strong industrial base and a complete military system, and with the existing strength of the Kwantung Army, it would definitely be ruined. As long as Stalin was ruthless and devoted all his strength to teaching the small,
Devils, then the strength of the Kwantung Army will decline sharply, and the dawn of victory in the War of Resistance will appear earlier.
As long as the Japanese army can be eliminated, Liu Yimin will not be able to eliminate the Soviet army or the American army, anyway, the more the little devil dies, the better. At the very least, after the attack of the Soviet army, little Japan had to be unable to draw troops from the northeast to reinforce the battle in Guannai for a period of time, so that the Eighth Route Army could put its best use in North China.
Of course, there is also a very secret idea, that is, if the Japanese army succeeds in a sneak attack on Vladivostok, when the Japanese army is defeated in the future, our army will be able to logically accept the Koto region, including Sakhalin, from the Japanese army. In that case, hehe, it's really a big deal. You must know that at this time in the Vladivostok region, there were still hundreds of thousands of Han Chinese, Manchus, and Koreans, and Stalin had not had time to expel all of them!
This is the difference between Liu Yimin and the old ** members of this era. Once those veterans learned that the Japanese army had invaded the Soviet Union, I am afraid that their first thought was to defend the Soviet Union. Liu Yimin actually wanted the Japanese army to succeed in a sneak attack, which was simply a great rebellion to the extreme. If the comrades knew that he had such terrible thoughts, I am afraid that it would not be as simple as dismissal.
Of course, this is Liu Yimin's secret thought in his heart, he doesn't say it, who knows?
What makes Liu Yimin feel a pity is that the little devil is too insensitive, it is too late, and the Soviet-German non-aggression pact has been signed, not only can the Soviet army concentrate its strength, but the Japanese government will not condone the Kwantung Army to make such nonsense. Without Germany's containment of the Soviet Union on the Eastern Front, the Japanese government did not have the courage to fight the Soviet Union at this time, just looking at the trajectory of the Battle of Nomenheim is exactly the same as in history, the Japanese government is eager to end the conflict between Japan and the Soviet Union through negotiations. Perhaps the Japanese negotiators were asking to meet with Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov at this time!
The fact that there was no large-scale cooperation of the Japanese Navy can confirm that the Kwantung Army's sneak attack on Vladivostok was purely a sī operation, and it was only a campaign-scale operation. It seems that the Japanese army fought well and could add a little bargaining weight to the Japanese. If you don't play well, it's just a little more joke.
Liu Yimin couldn't help but sigh!
