Special operations divisions in action

In the headquarters of the Kwantung Army in Changchun City, the telegram sent by Lieutenant General Jingshan asking for help was placed in front of Senior General Mizu Meijiro at the first time. As the supreme commander of the Kwantung Army, at this moment, in the face of the sudden counteroffensive of the Northeast Field Army in the Siping area, in addition to shock, he was still shocked.

Looking at the commander in front of him, after reading the telegram, a full ten minutes had passed, and there was still no movement. Lieutenant General Toshima Botaro, Chief of Staff, opened his mouth to remind: "Your Excellency Commander, according to the report of Lieutenant General Jingshan, in the face of the sudden and fierce offensive of the Northeast Field Army, the troops have suffered heavy losses, and the entire Siping area may fall at any time, and it is urgent for us to send reinforcements. You see...."

"Eight grid tooth road, it really moves and affects the whole body. Immediately sent a telegram back to Jing Shanjun, ordering Jing Shanjun to hold on for three days, even if the whole army died on the battlefield, he would also defend Siping for me. At the same time, orders were given to three field divisions scattered in the surrounding area of Changchun. I will only give them three days, and after three days, I will immediately send troops to reinforce Siping...."Senior General Mizu Meijiro ordered very decisively.

"Ha Yi, I'm going to give orders right away...."

It has to be said that during the war years, in addition to the competition of military strength of the two sides, there was another decisive factor, that is, the competition between intelligence. At the headquarters of the Kwantung Army, the order to assemble troops had just been issued less than half an hour. The former enemy's headquarters at the mouth of the Meihe River received the latest information from the Changchun intelligence officers.

"Commander-in-chief, according to intelligence reconnaissance. The three field divisions of the Kwantung Army, scattered around Changchun, began to assemble on a large scale. Prepare to send troops to reinforce Siping City, which is in danger, to block the offensive of our army...."

"It seems that the offensive commanded by Deputy Chief of Staff Li is very fierce. In less than a night, two field divisions of the Kwantung Army were forced to ask their headquarters for help... Staff Officer Wang immediately sent a telegram to Deputy Chief of Staff Li, ordering Deputy Chief of Staff Li to strengthen the offensive and strive to take Siping City before the reinforcements of the Kwantung Army arrived. At the same time, I will order the special operations division to slow down the march of the reinforcements of the Kwantung Army as much as possible, so that Deputy Chief of Staff Li can hurry up..."After a short period of excitement, Liu Hua ordered very decisively.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief...."

"There is one more thing, immediately send a telegram to the commander of the special operations division Liu Xiaogang who is active in the Changchun area. Ordered the special operations division to find every means to slow down the speed of Japanese army build-up and reinforcements as much as possible. At the same time, send a telegram to our troops in Liaoyuan and the Jilin region, ordering the troops to strengthen their vigilance and be ready to launch a counteroffensive at any time...."

In the encirclement and suppression operation against the special operations division for more than a week, the casualties of the 3rd Infantry Brigade of the 186th Wing of the 57th Division of the Kwantung Army were not very large, and they only lost less than 100 troops. However, a week's encirclement and suppression of the special operations division made these arrogant little devils realize for the first time what it means to be exhausted....

After receiving an order from the division headquarters to immediately assemble the troops to the division headquarters nearly 100 miles away. The captain of the brigade, Yoshino Shaosa, did not dare to slack off, hurriedly gathered his troops, took all the wounded and equipment, and began to advance to the division headquarters.

However, their every move did not escape the eyes of nearly 100 special combat personnel who had been moving around the 3rd Brigade and the 9th Company of the 1st Regiment of the Special Operations Division...

"Company commander, the little devil has begun to act....At present, they are advancing to their division headquarters in a rapid march...."In a dense forest, the scout panted and reported the situation he had just detected to the company commander in front of him.

"I have just received an order from the regimental headquarters asking us to do everything possible to slow down the build-up of the Japanese army as much as possible. We've been suffocated in this forest for days, and now, at last, we have a job to do. Comrades, cheer me up and catch up with the little devils...."After a quick flash of sharpness in the eyes of the company commander Zhang Jiamin, he ordered very decisively to the several squad and platoon commanders in front of him.

In the face of the Japanese troops equipped with a large number of artillery and heavy machine guns, nearly 100 special combat personnel who were only equipped with light weapons easily caught up with their combat target, the 3rd Infantry Brigade of the 186th Wing of the Kwantung Army, in less than 20 minutes.

As soon as the battle queue composed of nearly 100 special combat personnel was on par with the little devils, a special combat team member who had been following behind the Japanese army quietly came to the side of the company commander Zhang Jiamin. Then, he reported in a low voice. "Company commander, according to reconnaissance, the little devil has an infantry brigade, and there are more than nine hundred people left. Armed with two infantry guns, nine mortars and nine heavy machine guns, there were basically no losses in heavy firepower... Also, this is the Japanese marching column I just reconnoitred, with two infantry squadrons in front and two infantry squadrons in the rear. Infantry artillery squads, mortar squads, heavy machine gun squadrons, baggage squads, as well as the brigade headquarters were located in the middle of the entire marching column......."

"It seems that our opponents, after a few days of fighting, have become a lot more cautious, and have protected all the heavy equipment of the troops. However, if we can't beat his heavy equipment, we will beat them ordinary infantry....a platoon leader, take all the mines, and go to the front to lay mines in the area of Xiaowanggou. The remaining two platoons, plus the heavy fire squad, followed me to the front to ambush. Strive for an ambush and take out at least a squadron of the little devils. After a short period of thought, the company commander Zhang Jiamin ordered very decisively to all the squad and platoon commanders in front of him.

"Yes, company commander......"

In ten minutes, a simple ambush battlefield was built. Just as nearly 100 special combat personnel had just completed the concealment, the figure of the Japanese avant-garde squad appeared in everyone's eyes. Immediately after that, the main force of the Japanese army, which stretched for several hundred meters, came into everyone's sight...

"Boom, boom, boom....", a series of deafening explosions rang out directly in front of the Japanese marching column. A chain of mines, composed of more than 20 mines, completely enveloped the strength of a squadron of Japanese troops in front of it in just a split second.

"Fire..."The explosion of the mines had just stopped, and at the foot of the hill, the fast-marching Japanese army had not yet reacted from the shock. The voice of company commander Zhang Jiamin sounded on the battlefield. Immediately after that, on the ridges on both sides of the ravine, the machine gun positions composed of dozens of light machine guns immediately erupted one after another scorching tongues of fire.

Dozens of tongues of fire appeared in the air, and immediately smashed the dense marching army of the Japanese army. In less than half a minute, nearly 100 little devils died in the dense machine-gun fire.

And when the little devils in the ravine, facing the dense machine-gun fire on the mountain beam, fell into chaos in an instant, the special combat team members equipped with a large number of semi-automatic rifles opened fire in a very timely manner...

Accurate bullets flew out of the chamber quickly, and then, accurately shot into the chest or head of the little devil...

For half a minute, after a short and rapid firefight, there was no longer a standing little devil on the ravine road, except for the corpses of the little devils everywhere. At the same time, the devil soldiers, who had reacted from the shock, had already begun to carry out a powerful counterattack under the command of commanders at all levels.

I saw that in the ravine, the nine heavy machine guns equipped by the Japanese army, under the fiddling of nearly 100 little devils, were quickly set up, ready to counterattack. On the mountain beam, the company commander Zhang Jiamin, who was lying on the ground, clearly knew that in order to avoid his company, there would be heavy casualties under the fire of the Japanese heavy machine guns. The whole ambush battle, hit here, it's almost over ....

"All the machine gunners left cover, and after a minute, withdrew from the station. The squads and platoons, according to the predetermined combat plan, now began to retreat. Hurry, the little devil's heavy machine gun will soon react...."

Elite special combat personnel, no matter what time they are, are unconditional in their obedience to orders. As soon as the company commander Zhang Jiamin's order was issued, nearly 100 special combat personnel armed with semi-automatic rifles quickly put away their weapons, without any nostalgia, and withdrew from the battlefield in a very orderly manner. In the entire ambush battle, only dozens of machine gunners remained, using their fastest firing speed to pour dense bullets into the Japanese positions in the ravine....

A burst of dense machine gun fire rang out, and the nine heavy machine guns that the Japanese army had been waiting for for a long time finally shouted happily under the control of the machine gunners. At the same time, the little devil who couldn't lift his head just now, as if he had eaten stimulants, raised the rifle in his hand, and under the cover of the heavy machine gun beside him, roared, rushed out of the position, and prepared for a counterattack....

Soon, the squadron leader of the little devil who rushed to the position of the Ninth Company and finally found nothing, rushed to the front of the captain Yoshino Shaosa out of breath, and reported breathlessly:

"Your Excellency, the people on the opposite ridge have all retreated in the course of our counterattack. We got nothing but bullet casings in one place... According to statistics, in the attack just now, a total of 284 soldiers of our 3rd Infantry Brigade were killed, and 87 lost their combat effectiveness due to wounds. At present, we still have 584 soldiers left who can fight......., in the temporary headquarters of the Third Regiment of the Special Operations Division, the regiment commander Li Guotian is looking at the good news sent by the battalions and companies with a smile on his face.

"Political commissar, judging from the results achieved by the battalions and companies, the 57th Division of the Kwantung Army will need at least five days to successfully complete the assembly. Moreover, even if they complete the assembly, he will find that before the dispersal, he had a reorganized division and more than 20,000 people, and at this moment, there were less than two-thirds of the troops left...."Looking at the pile of battle reports in his hand, Li Guotian said with a smile on his face.

"Commander, let's not talk about this for now. Just now, the scouts came to report, and a huge warplane was once again placed in front of us. I don't know, do you want to move your muscles and bones and give the 57th Division of the Kwantung Army another heavy blow...."Regarding the regiment commander's words, the political commissar did not answer immediately, but asked with a sly smile.

"Huh? What's the situation? Li Guotian hurriedly asked, and a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes.

"Our scouts, in a base store less than five kilometers from the regimental headquarters, found a field artillery company of the 57th Division of the Japanese Army. Dozens of field heavy artillery pieces, large and small, were all placed in the open space of the stronghold. If our three regiments can find a way to destroy these heavy artillery, I can guarantee that even if the 57th Division arrives at Siping, it will not cause any damage to our Northeast Field Army...."The political commissar replied expectantly.

"The field artillery wing of the little devils....what a piece of fat. Political commissar, the fat that the little devil sent to his mouth, of course we can't let it go, this battle, we fought....immediately ordered the rocket artillery company directly under the regiment headquarters, and the guard company immediately assembled, the target, the Japanese field artillery wing...."Li Guotian ordered with an excited face.

Under the cover of the dark night, regiment commander Li Guotian quietly touched a small hill less than 500 meters away from the Japanese stronghold. Raising the telescope in his hand, in the brightly lit Japanese stronghold, the Japanese field artillery wing, more than 30 large-caliber guns covered with artillery clothing, were neatly placed in the open space in the center of the stronghold......

"The little devils are very well guarded, but no matter how strict they are, they can't stop our rockets. Ordered the rocket artillery company to immediately set up artillery positions. Half an hour later, six rounds of rockets were fired at the stronghold. Then, under the protection of the guard company, he immediately retreated...."After observing the Japanese defense situation in the entire stronghold, the corners of Li Guotian's mouth immediately showed a sneer. Then, very decisively, he ordered.......

"Whoosh...."A sharp whistling sound sounded over the artillery position, followed by a series of rockets with orange tail flames, which quickly flew out of the long barrels. Then, after drawing a beautiful arc in the sky, he flew towards the Japanese stronghold two kilometers away....

Each rocket launcher, six rockets, was fired in less than ten seconds. A total of 54 large-caliber rockets landed accurately in the huge Japanese army's base store. Then, in less than ten seconds, an explosion occurred. In just an instant, the entire stronghold was completely covered by artillery fire.

However, less than a minute after the first round of explosions ended under the shocked gaze of all the Japanese soldiers, the second round of shells came one after another, and once again came to the store at this moment, where the smoke had not completely dissipated.

"Boom, boom, boom...", a deafening explosion sounded one after another in the Japanese army store. The more than 30 large-caliber guns that stayed in the base store were completely enveloped by the fierce artillery fire after only being hit by the first round of shells.

Six minutes later, with the last round of rockets in the air, they flew quickly towards their target. The artillery positions, which had already fired all the rockets, were once again busy. A gunner quickly dispersed the rocket artillery in front of him, and then, on his shoulder, ready to retreat.

"Commander, all six rounds of rockets have been fired. According to the report of the guard company, the strength of an infantry brigade of the Japanese army is less than a kilometer away from us...."Seeing that two kilometers away, the sky above the Japanese stronghold had been completely reddened by orange-red flames, and the political commissar reported with excitement.

"Okay, six rounds of shooting, more than 300 rounds of large-caliber rockets, enough for the little devil artillery to drink a pot. Ordered the rocket artillery company to retreat immediately. Guard company, echelon to block the Japanese attack troops. Half an hour later, withdraw from the battlefield and join the regimental headquarters..."Regiment commander Li Guotian ordered very decisively.

"Yes, regiment commander...", in one day's operation, the 3,000 special combat soldiers distributed in Changchun took out almost all their housekeeping skills and attacked their combat targets. Although the total strength of the Japanese army is dozens of times that of the special operations division, under the blows of the special operations of the special operations division, the Kwantung Army troops, which have superiority in strength and firepower, have almost no room to fight back, and can only be beaten passively.

In the former enemy headquarters of the Dongye Frontier at the mouth of the Meihekou, Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua was frowning his brows, listening to the operational staff officer in front of him, reporting on the specific progress of our army in the direction of Siping.

"The second and third armies led by the commander-in-chief, the deputy chief of staff, although launched a very fierce attack on Siheisei. However, the little devils trapped in Siping City also fought to the death. In a day's battle, both the enemy and our armies won and lost. According to the report of the deputy chief of staff, the Second Army, under the cover of a large number of siege artillery, paid a full 2,000 casualties, but still did not break through the Japanese walled defenses. However, after a day of fighting, the defending troops of the Kwantung Army in the city were once again reduced by more than half. According to the judgment of the deputy chief of staff, by tomorrow night at the latest, the two armies will definitely be able to completely annihilate all the troops of the Eastern Army in the Siping direction and end the battle in the Siping direction...."

"It seems that the resistance of the Kwantung Army has greatly exceeded our imagination... It was hoped that before the arrival of Japanese reinforcements, the second and third armies would be able to end the fighting in the Siping area. Then, concentrate forces to deal with a new round of reinforcements from the Kwantung Army. By the way, is there any news on the special operations division? Liu Hua said with a pensive face.

"Commander-in-Chief, the results achieved by the Special Operations Division are, so to speak, beyond our imagination. According to Division Commander Liu's report, in one day, the special operations division achieved a total of at least 6,000 enemy annihilation. At the same time, the 3rd Special Warfare Regiment achieved the result of destroying all the artillery of the field artillery wing of the 57th Division of the Japanese Army, and the 2nd Special Operations Regiment achieved the result of destroying all the baggage materials of the baggage wing of the 36th Division of the Japanese Army. The 1st Special Warfare Regiment has achieved the result of destroying the headquarters of a Japanese brigade and regiment and killing a major general brigade commander...."Speaking of the special operations division, a thick smile immediately appeared on the face of Staff Officer Wang in front of him. looked at Liu Hua in front of him, and reported excitedly.

"Hehe, Liu Xiaogang fought well, and the special operations division is worthy of being my Dongye's sharp knife unit..."Liu Hua couldn't help but admire.
