Chapter 1423 Ninety Regiment Battle
In the early morning of September 18, in the dead of night, Nanxiang Town, northwest of Shanghai, the headquarters of the Anjia Army. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the evening, the latest telegram from the northeast arrived.
The units of the Second, Sixth, and Seventh Armies under the Northeast Group Army have now been moved into place, and all the units participating in the battle, including 30 regiments of 30 regiments of 10 divisions and 30 brigades of the three armies, plus the special brigades formed by various divisions and armies, will launch a swift and thunderous attack on the nearly 500-kilometer front from Tumen to Shulan and Jilin City.
Originally, in this sabotage operation, the headquarters of the group army was only ready to use the second and seventh armies, but Dong Jinming's Sixth Army faced the threat of the Japanese army in Jilin City, and the scope of the base area was shrinking day by day, and the Japanese army was closely constructing ditches, barbed wire, and pillboxes along the railways and dense highways, relying on the heavily defended village and town group tribes, and gradually approaching the base area between the Labin Line, the Jingtu Line, and the Jingbin Line, and repeatedly compressing the living space of the Sixth Army.
Under these circumstances, Lieutenant General Li Fuqiang, who had already taken up the post of commander of the Northeast Group Army, quickly convened an emergency meeting of the group army on the basis of the feedback from the Sixth Army, and finally decided to include the Sixth Army in the scope of operations and jointly complete this super-large-scale battle.
An Yi did not interfere with the command of the front line, but because this battle involved three of the seven armies of the Northeast Group Army, accounting for almost one-third of the entire Northeast Army, it was impossible to say that he was not worried, so from the beginning of the battle at 0:00 in the morning, the entire Anjia Army Command has been paying attention to the progress of the battle situation.
The entire operational command headquarters was busy, with telecommunications personnel shuttling back and forth to constantly report on the latest battle situation on the front line, while staff officers constantly demonstrated everything that happened on the northeast through a sand table and made their own analysis and judgment in light of the current situation, so that the generals and colonels of the headquarters could have a more intuitive understanding.
At one o'clock in the morning, the 63rd Brigade of the 21st Division of the Sixth Army conquered Jiangmifeng Town, an important town northwest of Jilin City, completely annihilated a Japanese brigade stationed in the town, demolished one kilometer of railroad tracks south of the Yakniu River, blasted the railway embankment, and successfully cut off the Tujing Railway.
In a frenzy, the Jilin garrison sent a wing to follow the pursuit, and on the line of Ma'anshan, Changfengtun, and Maweishan, it was fiercely hit by nearly 50 mortars of various calibers from the mortar battalion of the 63rd Brigade, and suffered heavy casualties.
Under the cover of night, there were reckless green hills everywhere, and it seemed that there were traps laid by the squadron everywhere, and the Japanese commander did not dare to launch a pursuit, and retreated to Jiangmifeng Town, which had been looted by the people and unrecognizable, and urgently reported the attack to his superiors.
Taking advantage of the retreat of the Japanese troops, the 63rd Brigade seized the time to continue to dismantle the railroad tracks and lay trigger-type mines under the railway embankment, hoping to gain as much time as possible while inflicting great casualties on the Japanese troops and delaying the speed of the Japanese troops in Jilin City sending additional reinforcements to the east.
At 1:10 a.m., a battle report came from the Labin Line operation:
The 18th Brigade of the 6th Division of the Sixth Army completely annihilated the Japanese troops of a squadron of the Lalin River Railway Bridge on the Labin Railway, and after quickly withdrawing to the south bank of the Lalin River, they immediately blasted the railway bridge and quickly built a river defense position. Subsequently, one unit was left to block the Japanese troops that might move south from Harbin and Wuchang counties in the north to reinforce them, while the rest of the troops moved south along the railway line, demolished the railways, and destroyed the village and town group tribes set up by the Japanese army.
All the dismantled rails were sent to the nearby mountains or woods, where they were marked and buried in situ for future excavation.
At 1:28 a.m., the 16th Brigade and the 17th Brigade of the 6th Division once again captured the county town of Shulan, which had been recaptured by the Japanese army at the end of last month, and completely annihilated one brigade and two puppet regiments of the Japanese army stationed in the county.
At 1:42 a.m., the 58th Brigade and 59th Brigade of the 20th Division of the Sixth Army worked closely together to capture the town of Rafa, where the Tujing Railway and the Labin Railway meet, in one fell swoop, and eliminated a brigade and a puppet regiment of the Japanese army stationed there, and then the main force quickly moved south to urgently help the 7th Division and the 22nd Division of the Seventh Army that were besieging Jiaohe County.
Jiaohe County has a garrison wing of the Japanese army, and the city defense system is relatively perfect, plus a brigade of puppet troops to cooperate in the operation, it can be said to be a difficult bone to gnaw.
Fortunately, the special brigades of the two divisions of the Seventh Army entered Jiaohe County two days ago and investigated the situation in the city clearly.
After the battle began, the special officers and men immediately dispatched to destroy the Japanese command center in Chengzhong County and kill the Japanese garrison commander Koichi Ono Nakasa, making it impossible for the Japanese troops stationed in various areas of the county to effectively cooperate and coordinate operations.
Subsequently, the special brigade took advantage of the cover of night to frequently shoot cold guns in the county town, and the middle and low-level commanders and machine gunners, grenadiers, and mortar gunners of the Japanese army were quickly exhausted.
By 3 o'clock in the morning, with the cooperation of the two divisions of the Sixth Army and the two brigades of the Sixth Division moving south, Jiaohe County had recovered, and its own losses and results were being counted.
At the same time that the Sixth Army and the Seventh Army launched the offensive on the Eastern Front, the remaining three brigades of the Sixth Army, plus the special brigades under the division and army, with companies and platoons as combat units and rocket launchers, dug trenches, laid mines, blasted bridges, destroyed barbed wire, trenches, and light and dark bunkers set up by the Japanese army, and rescued the people in the group tribes on all the roads between Jilin City, Shulan County, and Jiaohe County.
With the bazooka in hand, it became an easy thing to conquer the bunkers that the Japanese army relied on so much. The officers and soldiers approached the enemy's pillbox, and after the bazooka hand took aim, the rocket flew out with a long flame tail, regardless of whether it hit the shooting hole of the pillbox, and the vertical armor-piercing thickness of the 60mm rocket launched by the Anjia Army's AN-37 standard rocket launcher was 150 mm. Even if there are those who are lucky enough not to die, in front of the officers and soldiers of the An family who pounced on them later, they can only be captured.
In the middle line battlefield, due to the four first-class brigades of the Japanese army and two divisions of the puppet army stationed in Dunhua, after six years of construction since 918, it has a solid urban defense system comparable to Aihui and Suihua City. The 23 rd Division of the Seventh Army adopted a raid and harassment operation, with the special brigade and the divisional special brigade directly under the army as the core, and the battalion and company as the basic combat units, and adopted the combat method of killing with one blow, rapid blasting, and rapid retreat. Generally speaking, the Japanese soldiers who fell asleep often went to see Amaterasu in their sleep before they could react, and then the battle team swarmed up, annihilated the remnants of the enemy, and quickly laid a large number of mines on the railway embankment and highway surface, and then quickly left.
After more than ten minutes, the reinforcements sent by the Japanese army in Dunhua were belated, and at this time, the mines with automatic delay function were automatically detonated, killing and injuring a large number of devils and puppet soldiers, making the Japanese puppet army of all units ordered to rush to the aid of the Japanese puppet army to be full of rumors.
More than 50 kilometers of railways on the east and west flanks of Dunhua were cut off, and the three-wheeled motorcycles, trucks, and armored vehicles of the Japanese semi-mechanized troops pursuing from the highway suffered huge losses, so they had to retreat back to Dunhua City, report urgently to Shangfeng, and ask for reinforcements.
Look at the Eastern Front again.
The commander of the Second Army was An Chunlu, the commander of the Second Army, which was the commander of the Second Division, Tao Qi's Second Division, Wang Huwei's Ninth Division, Hou Mingcheng's Twelfth Division, and Yang Chao's Fifteenth Division.
The reason why the battle plan, which was originally expected to take a week to prepare, was officially launched three weeks later was because a lot of information needed to be further analyzed and confirmed, and the specific battle plan also needed to be constantly improved, so as to avoid a situation in which both sides were defeated and wounded, or even paid a heavy price, but returned empty-handed.
From Li Fuqiang, commander of the group army, to the heads of all armies, divisions, brigades, and regiments, all of them have the experience of teaching or training in special specialties at the Syrian non-commissioned officer school. There is no doubt that it must be the Northeast Army, although this is a new unit, but there are many hunters in the Northeast, and there are countless young people with good marksmanship and skills, so there are no problems in forming special forces.
It is precisely because of the worship of special operations in our bones that every link of this operational plan officially implemented is inseparable from the cooperation of special brigades.
Tumen County, located on the left bank of the lower reaches of the Tumen River, is an important gateway from Jilin Province and Heilongjiang Province to the north of North Korea.
Perhaps because Tumen has no historical background, and the 19th Division of the Japanese Army is stationed in the Pyongyang area of northern Korea, and it is convenient to transfer troops to aid Tumen through the Beixian Railway, so Tumen's defense is extremely lax, although there is a garrison brigade of the Japanese army stationed in this place, but the vigilance is extremely poor, and in just one and a half hours, Tumen County, which already has a population of 30,000, was successfully recovered under the attack of the 15th Division's Special Brigade and the 45th and 46th Brigades of the division.
In view of the flat terrain on the west bank of the Tumen River and the large amount of high ground in Korea on the other side, the Japanese army could have set up artillery on the mountains on the opposite bank and shell the county town of Tumen, so it was extremely unwise to build a defensive position in the area west of the Tumen River.
Yang Chao, the word Guhong, a native of Nanchang, Jiangxi, joined the An Jiajun in 28, was selected to study in the United States in 29, and entered the United States Military Academy at West Point, returned to China after graduating with excellent grades in three or four years, and after Li Fuqiang's personal interview, he served as a special professional tactical instructor at the Syrian Non-commissioned Officer School, and was just promoted to lieutenant colonel this year. With the rapid development and growth of the Northeast Group Army, Yang Chao rushed to the aid of the Northeast Battlefield, and this time the troops were expanded, and he officially assumed the post of commander of the 15th Division.
Although Yang Chao looked elegant and elegant, he was a fanatical nationalist at heart, and he was not bound by international treaties at all, leaving a regiment of troops in Tumen to defend, and the rest of the troops quickly captured the area east of the Tumen River and entered the territory of Korea through the railway bridge.
Yang Chao commanded the troops to occupy the three towns of Wencheng, Qingyuan, and Zhongcheng, which had been defended without a single soldier because of the rush to aid the Tumen, and built a defensive position on the line from Zhenshan to Hepudong.
In order to delay the offensive of the Japanese troops stationed in Korea, Yang Chao made a decision that seemed almost bold, leaving the 46th Brigade to continue to build positions, and he took the rest of the troops with the rest of the troops, took two trains captured in Tumen and Wencheng, loaded with light and heavy weapons, and went south along the Beixian Line Railway, successively occupied Hoeryeong and Funing towns, and arrived at Cheongjin, the most important port city in northern Korea, at five o'clock in the morning.
The two trains slowly stopped at the Cheongjin Railway Station, and 6,000 officers and soldiers rushed down, taking control of the railway station before the Japanese troops on duty could react.
Subsequently, the officers and men of the 46th Brigade took advantage of the last darkness before dawn, based on the confessions obtained by the Japanese officers and soldiers at the railway station and the four city maps obtained from the railway station, and by 8 o'clock in the morning, they took control of the most important central city in the northwestern region of Korea.
At this time, because the Kwantung Army and the Korean Army belonged to different command systems, the Japanese troops stationed in Korea did not know about the northern region, and great changes had taken place.
The battle to attack the city of Yanji on the eastern front was not as easy as the capture of Tumen.
In the sixteenth year of Kangxi, the Qing court used the name of "Changbai Mountain as the land of ancestor Longxing", and divided the east of Xingjing, the south of Yitong Prefecture, and the north of the Tumen River as a forbidden mountain enclosure, which was closed for two hundred years, that is, at that time, there was no existence of the town of Yanji. At the end of the last century, North Korea and China's Shandong, Hebei and other places suffered a catastrophe, began to prohibit people to break into the forbidden area, hunting and reclamation activities, to Guangxu seven years, due to the large number of people moved in, the Qing Dynasty then abolished the ban on closure, set up a reclamation bureau in Nangang. In the twenty-eighth year of Guangxu, with the increasing population, the Qing Dynasty set up Yanji Hall in a place called Juzi Street that gradually became prosperous, and in the first year of Xuantong, the Military Preparation Daotai Office on Jilin Southeast Road moved to Juzi Street, and changed to Yanji County in the early years of the Republic of China.
Therefore, like Tumen, Yanji is also a city surrounded by city walls, but in Yilan Town, more than ten kilometers north of Yanji, there is a four-square city wall of about 5 meters high and 4 meters wide, with an area of 1,500 square meters of elm trees planted around the outer moat and the city.
After the 918 Incident, the puppet Manchurian government was established, and Yanji was set up as the capital city of Jiandao Province, and the Japanese army was stationed in a large way, and barbed wire, trenches, fortifications, bunkers, watchtowers and other bunkers were set up in the surrounding areas of Yanji City, and the entire Yanji was operated as the strongest fortress on the eastern border of Jilin.
The 2nd and 9th Divisions of the Second Army, with a total of 45,000 men, attacked continuously all night, and only broke through the defense of the two brigades of the Japanese army and one division of the puppet army under the condition of using rocket launchers, 150mm caliber heavy artillery, Soviet-made flamethrowers, direct-fire mortars, anti-aircraft guns, anti-aircraft machine guns and other large-scale weapons.
At 8 o'clock in the morning, with nearly 12,000 casualties, they completely annihilated 8,929 Japanese troops stationed in Yanji, 6,431 puppet troops, and captured 6,317 puppet soldiers.
Prior to this, with the help of the officers and men of the special brigade, the 34th Brigade of the 12th Division captured Wangqing County at 3 o'clock in the morning, the 35th Brigade captured Antu County, and the 36th Brigade captured Hunchun County. The base and springboard for operations in the Songliao Plain shook the foundation of the Japanese army's domination in the northeast.
At eight o'clock in the morning, with the smooth capture of Yanji City, An Yi, who had been nervously following the development of the Northeast War situation, came to the window with satisfaction, looked at the green garden, stretched his waist, and then twisted his waist, feeling a comfortable mood.
No matter how the war situation in North China and Jiangnan evolves, at least in the Northeast, the humiliating history that I am familiar with is gone. The fact that the Northeast Group Army, which is growing stronger and stronger, has suddenly gained such a large territory has multiplied its strategic depth and made its development prospects even more impressive.
It is believed that the food, materials, production equipment, and materials obtained from these towns captured last night will inevitably make the Northeast Army, which was already extremely solid and strong with the assistance of the Soviet Far East Red Army, rise to a higher level, and as long as the Syrian government continues to transfuse blood to the Northeast and give more support to the Northeast Group Army, I believe that the situation will get better and better in the future, and it is not necessarily necessary to end the rule of the Japanese army before Kannai.
The headquarters was also full of joy, and the moving battles that took place on the front of the east-west battle in the central and eastern regions of Jilin Province and more than 200 kilometers in diameter from north to south were intuitively reflected through the sand table, and all the generals and colonels of the Anjia Army could now appreciate the strength of the Northeast Group Army.
As a member of the big family of the Anjia Army, the Northeast Army now needs the Syrian government to continuously provide support in terms of materials, personnel, science and technology, etc., but with the rapid development of the Northeast Base Area and the continuous growth of the Northeast Group Army, it will inevitably return to the Syrian government and report to the greater interests of the Anjia Army in the future.
Of course, all of this revolves around An Yi, the spiritual leader.
As long as An Yi is in the world for one day, An Jiajun, an army that he founded single-handedly and deeply engraved his thoughts and spiritual imprints from the inside out, can form an unbreakable and closely coordinated whole, but once he does not exist, the foundation of the entire alliance will collapse, the bond connecting the entire interest group will be broken, and this huge military group, under the domination of various selfish desires and ambitions, will instantly fall into a situation of falling apart and fighting for itself.
