539 fierce soldiers Liaoxi three surprise attack

In the past few days from the end of November to the beginning of December of the 19th year of the Republic of China, a telegraph war broke out between the joint headquarters of Huludao and the General Front Committee of the GC Army in Chaoyang County, Luo Yaoguo believed that the Japanese army's attack in the mountainous area of western Liaoning on the northern front was to outflank the back road of the Huludao fortress, and their ultimate goal was to pull out the nail of Huludao. Therefore, the Joint Command repeatedly suggested that the Chinese Army abandon the base area in western Liaoning when necessary, either jump to the outer line to maneuver and threaten the rear of the Japanese army, or retreat to the front line of Pingquan and Ningcheng to ensure the safety of Chengde.

Although the Chinese and G sides also agreed that the ultimate goal of the Japanese army in this battle was Huludao, they did not agree to abandon the strategic significance and important mountainous area of western Liaoning. They believed that the key to defending Huludao was to hold the mountainous area of western Liaoning, and as long as the high ground north of Huludao was maintained, the Japanese army could only launch an attack from the narrow Tashan area on the eastern front, and with the strong combat effectiveness of the two integrated divisions of the Nationalist Army, there would be no problem in holding a solid defensive line 10 kilometers wide, so that the battle of western Liaoning would be undefeated. Therefore, the Chinese and G not only refused to abandon their base area in western Liaoning, but instead demanded that the joint command agree to transfer the Fifth Route Army of the Northeast Army to the mountainous areas of western Liaoning.

However, the Joint Command refuted that the strength of the Fifth, Eighth, and Seventeenth Route Armies was at most equivalent to three Japanese divisions, and the total strength of the Japanese army for the Battle of Western Liaoning was estimated to be about ten divisions. If the Japanese army attacked the mountainous areas of western Liaoning with all its might, the Central G and Northeast armies would not be able to defend it no matter what. Therefore, the precious vital forces should not be expended in the mountainous areas of western Liaoning, which are destined to be undefended. The main task of the 8th and 17th Route Armies of the Central G should be to threaten the rear of the Japanese army with mobile operations on the outside line, and to contain part of the Japanese army's forces so that it cannot attack the Huludao fortress with all its strength, rather than to fight a decisive battle with the Japanese army whose combat strength is far stronger than them in the form of a main battle.

However, the General Front Committee of the GCD Army insisted that the battle for the defense of Beipiao had now reached the most critical moment, and that the main force of the Japanese army, about three divisions (in fact, only two divisions), had been unable to overcome the fortified city for a long time, and suffered heavy casualties, and the offensive had been slowed down since December 6. If the Fifth Route Army of the Northeast Army can be reinforced in time, it is possible to take advantage of the opportunity of the Japanese army's protracted battle to launch a counterattack, or it may be able to annihilate one or two divisions of the Japanese army, and the war situation in the entire northeast will have a fundamental change.

Zhang Xueliang and Guo Songling fantasized that the Northeast War could be won quickly, but at the same time they were unwilling to throw the precious Fifth Route Army into the battlefield of the northern front. Therefore, they were only on the sidelines, and they blindly delayed the order of the Joint Command to allocate some of their forces to the northern front. In the end, Luo Yaoguo had to invite Liu Bcheng and Guo Songling to Huludao to discuss the battle situation in person to see if they could find a solution acceptable to all three aspects.

……

At the same time that the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were fighting a war of words over the battle of western Liaoning, the battle situation in the mountainous areas of western Liaoning on the northern front had also reached the most critical moment.

On December 8, the 19th year of the Republic of China, Beipiao County.

The sound of shouts and guns came from one after another, and more than 100,000 Chinese and Japanese troops had gathered around the county seat. After 12 days of hard fighting, the 5th and 6th Divisions of the Japanese Army finally successfully joined forces in the hilly area southeast of Beipiaocheng

And the Chinese army on the opposite side also seemed to have made up its mind to fight to the death with the invading enemy outside the city of Beipiao. In the past two days, the road from Chaoyang to Beipiao was full of marching processions, infantry, cavalry, baggage soldiers, mountain artillery pulled by eight large mules, 152mm howitzers pulled by Chevrolet trucks, and former migrant workers wearing old cotton jackets pushing wheelbarrows, all the way to the east.

The 17th Route Army and the 23rd Division of the Eighth Route Army, which had been fighting to the death with the Japanese army for 10 days, had also replenished a few stubbles at this time, not only adding most of the men and horses of the Western Liaoning Military Region to the main force, but also more cadres and soldiers from the Guannai Production and Construction Corps. And most of the equipment that the Kuomintang had previously given to the ten light infantry divisions of the Central G was also invested in the huge melting pot of Beipiao...... No matter from which point of view, China G is already the mainstay of the battle of Liaoxi

Zhu D was standing in a shelter built of civil engineering, which was located on the hill in the northwest of Beipiao County, only three or four thousand meters away from the front line of the fierce battle, with no shelter in the middle, and the entire battlefield could be seen without a telescope.

The high-ranking officials of the Eighth Route Army and the Seventeenth Route Army, Peng Dhuai and Yang Huchen, Soviet military adviser Cui Kev, and high-ranking officials of the Western Liaoning Military Region, Chen Y, Su Y, and others, all gathered in this shelter and accompanied Zhu D to inspect the former enemy.

In winter, there seems to be no warm sunshine, and at this time, the battlefield in the mountains of western Liaoning gradually rises, looking down on the soldiers of the two countries fighting on this snow-covered land. The Japanese artillery fire was still fierce, and it seemed that large-caliber howitzers were used, and the explosion was very powerful. There is now only one such heavy artillery regiment, with a total of twenty-four 152-mm howitzers. These shells were also fired accurately, and the field fortifications of the 50th and 51st Divisions were blown up in all directions, and smoke and dust were scattered. From time to time, broken limbs were blown apart and flew around.

After the shelling, as usual, the infantry attacked, and about two brigades of devils formed several waves of gray human lines, slowly moving forward. After walking a few steps, he stopped and fired his guns indiscriminately, and more than a dozen heavy machine guns also moved up from both sides, and a string of tongues of fire constantly swept over the forward positions of the squadron. Mortars and infantry guns were also erected on the starting positions of the Japanese troops, and shells of various calibers were constantly thrown out to support the charging infantry.

Played in a very methodical manner. Zhu D sighed in his heart. The offensive of these Japanese soldiers was very well organized, and all kinds of firepower were perfectly coordinated, anyway, it was stronger than the artillery and infantry coordination of the G Army at the moment, which was still a little chaotic. At this time, the twelve 75-mm mountain guns placed behind the position of the G Army also began to fire, stirring up a cloud of snow and dust in front of the position. The shells exploded in the frozen ground, creating a large gap in the wavy formation of the Japanese army. But these Japanese soldiers seemed to be unaware of it, and still maintained a straggler line formation and charged with their heads covered. It wasn't until the machine guns on the forward positions of the G Army began to fire that dozens of tongues of fire made a windy sound, knocking down the Japanese soldiers rushing in front like cutting wheat, and the Japanese soldiers behind immediately found the terrain and crawled down, shooting at the positions of the G Army with rifles, trying to suppress the opponent's machine guns with accurate marksmanship, and at the same time, the mortars and grenadiers behind also turned their muzzles and began to bombard the machine gun fire points of the G Army......

However, the Japanese infantry charge also ended here, and the Japanese seemed to be a little dull in the battle in the past two days, without the fierce and fierce rush that they had not feared death before. They simply moved their troops within range of fire and then started firing at each other. Try to stifle the opponent's resistance with superior firepower before launching a charge. But after the main force of the Eighth Route Army arrived at the Beipiao front, the firepower and strength of the G Army were not weaker than the Japanese army, where was it so easy to be suppressed by them? This situation has only caused the slow bleeding on both sides.

It seems that the previous bloody battle has caused heavy casualties to the attacking Japanese army, and they are already at the end of their crossbow at this time. If the Fifth Route Army and heavy artillery units of the Northeast Army can be reinforced in time, a beautiful counterattack should still be expected, but I don't know what other intrigues and tricks the Japanese will have......

Zhu D put down the binoculars and let out a long sigh: "According to this style of play, it seems that the base area in western Liaoning can still be defended." The tasks assigned to us by the central authorities have always been successfully accomplished. Now it depends on when the reinforcements of the Northeast Army will arrive. ”

……

Liu Bcheng and Guo Songling, who were invited to Huludao, received extremely high courtesy, and Luo Yaoguo, An Sihua, and personally led the senior generals of the Joint Command and the First Group Army of the Kuomintang out of the city to greet them.

Liu Bcheng and Guo Songling happily got out of the car to meet with Luo Yaoguo and others, Luo Yaoguo introduced him to the senior generals one by one, and then made a brief speech to the reporters who came with the army.

"General Liu, is this related to the fierce fighting on the front line of Beipiao for several days?" After Liu Bcheng's speech ended, a Ta Kung Pao reporter immediately rushed to ask questions.

The battle that took place in Beipiao was the focus of the battlefield in western Liaoning in the past two days, and naturally it also attracted the attention of the people of the whole country and the attention of reporters.

"There is a certain relationship, but the Fourth Army of our Central Army can fight well, and with the cooperation of friendly forces, it will definitely be able to defeat the Japanese invaders and create another great victory." Because military secrets were involved, Liu Bcheng did not answer positively, but only vaguely hinted that G needed friendly cooperation with friendly forces.

"General Liu, will the Beijing government increase troops to Liaoxi?" Another female reporter with short ear-length hair asked.

"It's a military secret, and I don't have anything to say."

"Marshal Luo, as we all know, the Nationalist Army under the Nationalist Government once wiped out more than 100,000 Japanese troops in Shandong Province of your country. Military experts all over the world believe that the combat effectiveness of the Nationalist Army is superior to that of the Japanese army, but why is the Nationalist Army not the main force fighting the Japanese army this time? This is a question from a Western journalist.

Luo Yaoguo showed a somewhat helpless smile, pointed to Liu Bcheng beside him and said with a smile: "China's current situation is like the Civil War period in the United States, of course, we Chinese have always paid attention to peace. Despite their differences, both sides of the South are willing to reunify the country peacefully. For example, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in Northeast China took place within the jurisdiction of the Beijing Government, and the troops of our Nationalist Government could not and should not enter casually, but could only act after reaching an agreement through friendly consultations between the two sides. ”

"Then may I ask General Liu, when will the Beijing government allow the army of the southern Nationalist Government to continue to march north to resist Japan?" A reporter in a tunic and round glasses asked a loud question.

Liu Bcheng still kept smiling: "Haven't you seen the steady stream of national troops going north here?" Of course, our central government should also respect Wuhan's choice, and they should have reservations...... We can't force it, hahaha......"

After briefly answering a few questions, Luo Yaoguo and Liu B got into the same car. As soon as he closed the car door, Luo Yaoguo exhaled heavily and wrinkled his eyebrows: "Chief of Staff Liu, how is the battle situation on the Beipiao front?" Was the Japanese offensive really contained? ”。

Liu Bcheng smiled: "Brother, we are now united to resist Japan, and we can be regarded as allies, right?" The young characters should always have a minimum of trust in their allies, right? Less words: "Liu Bcheng and Luo Yaoguo are old acquaintances in the East Road Thief Army, although the relationship between the two parties is tense at the moment, but the two talk quite casually in private.

"It's not that I don't believe you." Luo Yaoguo shook his hand: "But the current battle situation on the Beipiao front is too weird, the Japanese army has at least ten divisions in Liaoxi and confronts us with a maximum of three to four, and there are at most three in Beipiao, where are the remaining three or four divisions gone?" He smiled bitterly a few times: "Really, if the Japanese suppress all the remaining three or four divisions, will the 100,000 GC Army still be able to hold the North Pass?" And why don't they press it now? ”

Liu Bcheng frowned unconsciously, he and Zhu D had already noticed Luo Yaoguo's problem, and they had repeatedly proposed to the central government to abandon the base area in western Liaoning. However, the central authorities have a different view, and they believe that Luo Yaoguo's repeated misappropriation of the name of the joint command to order the Eighth Route Army and the Seventeenth Route Army to abandon the base area in western Liaoning is an ulterior conspiracy, and that the construction of Longkou Port in Shandong has been completed and can dock large ships of four or five thousand tons. Therefore, the Kuomintang could continuously ship the army to Huludao through the port of Longkou...... As soon as the Central G abandons the base area in western Liaoning, the Kuomintang will inevitably take the opportunity to attack Huludao and seize the mountainous areas of western Liaoning, thus blocking the choke point for the Central G to enter and exit the northeast. After that, it is very likely that they will conclude a traitorous treaty with Japanese imperialism and annex Puyi's puppet regime at the cost of betraying the actual interests of Northeast China, so as to achieve the criminal goal of establishing reactionary rule in Northeast China......

"Chief Luo, it is precisely because the Japanese army will put more troops into the Beipiao front line at any time, so we need reinforcements from the Fifth Route Army even more. If the Fifth Route Army and the Heavy Artillery Brigade of the Northeast Army can come up, we will be sure of both attack and defense on the Beipiao front. Liu B followed Luo Yaoguo's words and put forward a request to mobilize the Northeast Army to reinforce the Northern Ticket, he smiled and said: "The Japanese army also suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Jinzhou some time ago, and it is estimated that there are several divisions resting at this time, right?" There are few words, so it is too early to give up the base area in western Liaoning. ”

Liu B's reasons are not completely untenable, but Luo Yaoguo is very clear that Japan has a perfect war mobilization system, and their replenishment rate in the early stage of the war will only be faster than that of the Central G and Northeast Army

Luo Yaoguo frowned: "General Bocheng, see if there is such a possibility, the Japanese army set off from Buxin County, Liaoning Province and entered Rehe Province with two or three divisions and regiments, walked around Huixin County and the Han Banner, and rounded back to the base area in western Liaoning. ”

"Impossible, impossible." Liu Bcheng shook his hand again and again: "50,000 to 80,000 Japanese troops walked through the hilly area with complex terrain and walked on three or four hundred kilometers of mountain roads in such a cold climate...... And under the nose of General Tang Yulin of the Northeast Army, even if they want to do this, Tang Gechen's soldiers can't know nothing, right? We haven't heard a word about it yet."

The name "Tang Yulin ......" Luo Yaoguo had heard of it in his previous life, wasn't he the one who abandoned Chengde without a fight in history? In this time and space, this Tang Dahu is very exquisite, not only has a hot fight with the Japanese, but also has a good relationship with the Beijing government of GCD, and is also the key united front object of China and G, and also has contacts with Wang Zhongyi, who is entrenched in Mongolia, in private...... Zhong G handed over his flank to him to cover, it should be safer, right? Less words

Luo Yaoguo nodded thoughtfully: "Okay, since that's the case...... I support the transfer of the Fifth Route Army to the mountainous areas of western Liaoning, but I dare not guarantee whether Zhang Hanqing will agree. ”

Liu Bcheng smiled faintly: "That's good, if you and I propose it to General Zhang Hanqing together, it is naturally not good for him to continue to shirk." ”

……

At this moment, in a sheltered valley about 30 miles north of Sijiazi Town, which is subordinate to Chaoyang County, a large area of earth-colored military tents has been erected, which is built on the flat land in the valley. Outside the mouth of the valley, there are figures wearing white cloaks, khaki military uniforms, and suede shoes waiting. Each of them carried long Type 38 rifles, creaking the snow outside the valley.

In the middle of this military tent, there is also an extra-large tent, and a group of Japanese staff officers in heavy winter clothes are hurrying in and out, which seems to be a very important command headquarters.

Inside the tent was indeed a scene similar to that of the headquarters, with a large military map covered on a map table made of logs, and a few telephone-> machines were placed on a table made of several green tin boxes, and a few young officers who looked like staff officers were guarding there, shaking the telephones from time to time > shouting for a while, and it seemed that they were being debugged.

There were two people sitting next to the map table, one white and fat, and the other black and thin. However, both of them have a standard military posture, and they both wear crisp lieutenant general uniforms. The black and thin one, with a wood-like face tightened, was none other than Matsui Ishone, the current commander of the 11th Division. And the other chubby, but with a smile on his face, just kept coughing softly, looking a little frozen, this is also a very famous figure in Japanese history, named Watanabe Shotaro, is the current commander of the Seventh Division, the former president of the Army University. In addition, he was also a core figure in the control faction of the Japanese military. He also likes to express some liberal views from time to time (there are very serious bourgeois liberalization tendencies), so he was slaughtered by Taro Takahashi, a second lieutenant of the Imperial Army, in the 2.26 Mutiny in history.
