Chapter 597: Opportunity Quietly
In early September, the Jiamusi defense line fell into a bitter battle, and Vasilev personally went to the front line to direct the operation. The defense line of the www.biquge.info was facing a critical moment, and the 23rd Army of the Eighth Route Army quickly supported Jiamusi, and the defense line was stabilized. On the Western Front, Wei Lihuang continued to invest his troops, and successively invested six armies to fight, containing the powerful offensive of the Soviet army. At this time, inside the headquarters of the Harbin 1st Corps. Chief of Staff Peng Xuelan reported: "Commander Su, our aircraft carrier fleet has entered the RB Sea and is currently advancing towards Vladivostok, and the time is ripe for us to send troops. ”
Su Yu said: "It's time for us to show our swords, the special operation of the Chief of the General Staff has created excellent conditions for us." Now the moment has come for the fatal blow to Sue. At present, the aircraft carrier fleet has entered the RB Sea, and the time is ripe to block the sea transportation lines of the Soviet army, and at the same time cut off the sea retreat of the Soviet army, and eat up the southern front cluster of the Soviet army. Zhao Bosheng's division of the 44th Army was ordered to cross the Ussuri River from the Rao River this evening, capture Wuya and build fortifications to prevent the Soviet troops on the northern front from moving south. Ordered the 4th Army's Dong Zhentang Division to launch an attack from the Songatcha River, and ordered the 3rd Army's Xiao Jinguang Division to launch an attack on Dongning. ”
Su Yu continued: "Order the Zhao Liang Division of the 1st Army and the Zhang Shiying Division of the 2nd Army to form a pincer attack posture assault on the line of the Suifen River. Ordered the reserve 5th Army Ji Zhentong to move from Mudanjiang to Suiyang to support the front-line operations at any time. The airborne division was ordered to enter the special combat readiness standby, and the 1st and 2nd Flying Regiments and the Central Flying Regiment of the Eighth Route Army were ordered to enter combat readiness and provide air support at any time. A series of orders were issued, and all the officers and staff in the headquarters seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and the tense and suffocating air that had been in place for several days was relieved.
In the afternoon of this day, the Rao River and the Ussuri River were in full swing, and a boat and bridge regiment was nervously erecting a pontoon bridge. The opposite side of the river was already controlled by a mountain regiment, which created conditions for the erection of pontoon bridges. On the bank of the river, a rope runs through both banks, and the officers and men of the Zhouqiao Regiment are in full swing and full of enthusiasm. They put in special iron boats with iron barrels hanging on both sides. Neatly arranged on the river surface, and then fixed with a gangplank. The pontoon bridge extends forward one meter by one meter, and by dusk, a pontoon bridge across the river has been completed.
At this time, a large number of troops appeared on the riverbank. Next to several military jeeps, army commander Zhao Bosheng and several military generals stood sideways. "Commander, how do you feel when you finally receive the commander's order?" The chief of staff excitedly. "Do you need to ask, I've been suffocated for a long time. As a chief officer, you must usually cover up and not appear to be overly impatient. The headquarters called to inform that two special mountain and jungle combat brigades cooperated with our operation. Xiao Hua called, and the troops of the department thought that they had completed the assembly, and they would take the lead in taking Wuya tonight to meet us. ”
"The special forces are worthy of being a wonder soldier in the hands of the Chief of the General Staff, and it is unimaginable that they have fought in the Kent Mountains for more than a month and still maintain a strong combat effectiveness." "I heard that every soldier in the special forces has to go through brutal wilderness survival training, and a month is a pediatric for them." "Report to the army commander, the pontoon bridge of the boat bridge regiment has been erected, and the troops can cross the river." "Order the Pioneer Regiment to cross the river and take over the defense of the Special Regiment. After the follow-up troops crossed the river, they quickly advanced towards Uya! ”
The Songatsa River is the upper reaches of the Ussuri River, and the channel is not wide, so people can wade across it. Having received an order to attack, the 4th Army immediately went into combat readiness. The Soviets built fortifications on the other side of the river, defending by about two infantry divisions. The assault on the first line of the Songatsa River is related to the complete annihilation of the Soviet army's southern front cluster and the attempt to prevent the Soviet army from escaping northward. Therefore, the front line of the Songatsa River must be the first to break through and block the way for the Soviet army to flee north. Dusk fell, and there were still 2 hours left before the attack.
In the military headquarters, Dong Zhentang, the commander of the 4th Army, looked at the sand table in front of him. There was the movement of a jeep outside, and when the sound stopped, the chief of staff walked in with a body of dust. "How's the troop doing?" Dong Zhentang asked. "The artillery column has entered the preparation for battle, and the assault troops of the 10th and 11th divisions have entered the front line, 10 kilometers of frontage, and 6 breakthroughs have been selected. According to the information we have, the two and two infantry divisions of the Soviet army were hastily transferred in front of the defense a month ago, and they were all civil fortifications. The artillery column formed 4 artillery groups, and there was no problem with supporting firepower. The chief of staff replied.
Dong Zhentang said: "The headquarters requires us to quickly break through the defensive line and disrupt the defensive system of the Soviet army, which is very important. "The officers and men have a high desire to fight, and all kinds of plans have been fully prepared. Based on the situation of the Soviet troops, it seems that we did not expect a sudden and large attack, and the laxity of the Soviet troops greatly benefited us. "There are still two hours to launch an attack, and all divisions are ordered to carefully inspect and prepare for the attack without the slightest omission." "Yes, I'll call right away and have them double-check."
The moon is high and the stars are scarce, and on a mountain peak on the west side of Dongning, Xiao Jinguang, the commander of the 3rd Army, held a telescope to check the county. The county seat was vague and dark, and it seemed extraordinarily quiet. Since Dongning is not far from the Suifen River, the Soviet troops stationed here are on high alert. The 1st Army stopped fighting at Suifenhe for nearly a month, so the Soviet troops defending at Dongning were very tight. Xiao Jinguang set up the military headquarters on this mountain peak, because he can see the whole picture of DN County at a glance, can see the troops attacking with his own eyes, and understand the battlefield situation in time, there are not many such excellent geographical conditions.
"Commander, the commissar is back!" A subordinate reported. Several black shadows came to the front, "Political commissar, the pressure on logistics during this period is very high, and it is all on your shoulders, you have to pay attention to your body, the food, drink and Lazar of tens of thousands of officers and soldiers depend on you." "Brother Xiao, how much ability I have alone, even if I have three heads and six arms. The people's war is infinitely powerful! This time, the DN County Party Committee organized 30,000 migrant workers to support us and solved a big problem. "Commissar, this is your forte. Headquarters ordered our department to attack at midnight, and in a few hours, you go and sleep for a while. ”
"I've been preparing for more than a month, and I'm about to start fighting, can I sleep? What did the chief of staff do? "He went to the forward positions to find out how prepared for the offensive." "Brother Xiao, the attack on DN County is facing a tough attack, and the headquarters requires 2 days to take it, how sure are you?" "I'm seventy percent sure, if the other side is defended by the Japanese army, I don't dare to boast about Haikou." "I'm relieved!" After speaking, the political commissar also raised his binoculars to look in the direction of the county seat, even if he couldn't see anything clearly, he could imagine it in his mind.
About 10 kilometers west of the Suifen River, in the 1st Army Headquarters, Army Commander Zhao Liang stared at the military map on the wall in the dim lantern. The continuous feint attack made Zhao Liang, who was the commander of the army, very confused, and he didn't understand what it meant. Every time a regiment is dispatched, it will fight for a while in a decent manner, but it will be defeated, causing the officers and men participating in the battle to complain. His subordinates needed the commander to solve their doubts, but Zhao Liang himself didn't understand the intentions of the headquarters, so he had to prevaricate by obeying orders. Today, Commander Su gave an order, and at the same time solved his doubts.
It turned out that the feint offensive was launched for a month in a row in order to confuse the Soviet army and make the Soviet army's southern front cluster dare not launch an offensive rashly. At present, the Soviet army is on the front line of the Suifen River, deploying 4 divisions and a tank brigade. The command ordered the 1st Army and the 2nd Army to form a pincer offensive posture, with the 1st Army on the left flank and the 2nd Army on the right flank. The distance between the two military headquarters in a straight line is only 10 kilometers. The 4th Army on the Northern Front will attack at 8 p.m., the 3rd Army will attack at 11:30 p.m., and the 1st and 2nd Armies will attack at 6 a.m. tomorrow morning. It's still early, so there's time to scrutinize it again.
The sound of a car engine sounded outside, and Zhao Liang was a little surprised. The chief of staff went to the front, and the political commissar took charge of logistics in the rear. Who can take the car to the headquarters at this time. "Guard!" "Here!" "Let's take a look at who is coming, there is no order to disobey the military order so boldly!" "Commander, you forgot that in the afternoon, Commander Zhang called you and said that you should prepare wine and food and come in the evening!" "How did I forget this kid, that's why he was so daring!"
As he spoke, Zhang Shiying strode in and said, "I didn't come out to greet me when I heard the movement, no matter what, I still have the title of deputy chief of staff of the Corps, and I am your superior." "You kid is hypocritical! If you come to inspect with a superior leader, please do it, if you are a guest, I am welcome! "Without further ado, are you ready for the food and drink?" "Chief, I've prepared it for you a long time ago!" Saying this, the guards brought up a jar of old soju, a plate of fried pheasant, a plate of fried soybeans, and a pot of pork stewed vermicelli. "Haha, game, home flavor with old soju, happy!"
"That's why you have the audacity to come to drink before the war!" The ancients had to drink Zhuangxing wine when they went into battle, and it was so difficult that you and I were not even as good as the ancients! "You are always reasonable, if you let Political Commissar Luo know, I can't spare you." "If you don't say it, I won't say it, in our two acres of land, who dares to make a small report." After a few glasses of wine, Zhang Shiying said: "Brother Zhao, I will reveal you a good news." Why did the command suddenly give the order to attack on all fronts? "Is this still a guess? The time is ripe! "This is one of them, I secretly called Mu Shixiong this afternoon."
"What did Commander Mu say?" "Li Dabao led his troops to sneak attack the submarines of the Russian Pacific Fleet, and our aircraft carrier fleet entered the RB Sea, which is the reason why the headquarters suddenly issued an order to attack on all fronts." "This news is indeed very happy, the southern front cluster of Soviet Russia has been earned by us and cannot run." "The aircraft carrier fleet entered the RB Sea and completely blocked the retreat of the Soviet troops. 150,000 Soviet troops are about to be dumplings made by us, and you and I probably don't even dare to think about it. ”
"Yes, the purpose of sending special forces to launch a large-scale attack operation is to cut off the land connection between the Soviet forces in the north and the south. This time, the aircraft carrier fleet was dispatched to enter the RB Sea, which cut off the Soviet army's connection and retreat at sea, and the Soviet army cluster on the southern front entered a dead place. Zhang Shiying took a sip of wine and said: "As long as the 4th Army breaks through the defensive line, the hope of the Soviet army retreating north is basically gone, and this battle is interesting." "Don't ramble, be clear." "You see that we pushed flat from 4 points, I estimate that it will be difficult for the Soviet army to parry, and in the end all his men and horses will shrink into Vladivostok. Hundreds of thousands of people gathered in Vladivostok, what will happen? ”
"There was no food or drink, and finally forced the Soviet army to surrender! Wonderful! "That's why I'm here today to celebrate in advance, and you should thank me!" "No problem, when it comes to gratitude, you can't move your mouth, take away all the wine and food that you haven't drunk for a while, I've always been generous!" You're going to lose it, complete miser. "The two chief officers who are about to lead their troops to rush to kill, they are so relaxed before the battle, you can see their self-confidence.
