There was a chaotic war

In the general headquarters of the Japanese army in Liaoyuan City, he received a telegram from Senior General Mitsu Meijiro of the Kwantung Army Headquarters, and the commander-in-chief, Lieutenant General Taro Yamamoto, did not dare to neglect anything.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the commander's order is very clear, that is, with the existing garrison troops in our Liaoyuan area, we will block the offensive of the Northeast Field Army and ensure the security of the entire Liaoyuan region. Therefore, now I order: the 139th Division of the Kwantung Army, the 16th Tank Wing, immediately carry out a sortie and destroy the 20,000 Northeast Field Army in our rear. All the remaining combat units continued to hold their positions and engaged in a military confrontation with the Northeast Field Army in the Meihe estuary area...."After receiving the order from the Kwantung Army Headquarters, Lieutenant General Taro Yamamoto did not hesitate and decisively issued an order to completely annihilate the two main divisions of the Second Army of the Eastern Army....

The rear of the Japanese defenders in Liaoyuan, in the temporary headquarters of the Second Army in Dongye. Army Commander Zhong Wei, Political Commissar Sun Guang, Chief of Staff Fu Shaofu, Dongye Fifth Division Commander Li Fa, Sixth Division Commander You Taizhong, and Field Artillery Regiment Commander Tian Houyi were gathering together to discuss the specific combat plan for the next step of the troops.

Seeing that all the participants had arrived, the army commander Zhong Wei was the first to speak: "Comrades, the commander-in-chief of the former enemy headquarters in Dongye has just sent a telegram: The commander-in-chief has clearly instructed us that in the next battle, the task of our second army is not to cooperate with the Fifth Corps and occupy the entire Liaoyuan. Rather, behind enemy lines, a large number of casualties were made in the Liaoyuan area, the living force of the defending units of the Kwantung Army. Therefore, in the next battle, we must avoid positional warfare with the little devils as much as possible, and mainly focus on sports warfare. Now, let the chief of staff first introduce to you the specific enemy situation around us at present..."

At Zhong Wei's signal, Chief of Staff Fu Shaofu quickly stood up from his seat, and then spoke.

"According to the reconnaissance troops, in order to cope with our arrival, the Liaoyuan garrison troops sent a field division and a chariot wing, with a total of 30,000 troops, to deal with us. At present, these 30,000 little devils have already sent troops, and there is only less than twenty kilometers left from us..."

"Comrades, a field division, plus a tank wing. The 30,000 elite Kwantung Army can be called a behemoth for an army that is dissatisfied with the establishment. However, the little devils are close at hand, and for their moves, we have to follow. The army commander Zhong Wei decisively interrupted the introduction of the chief of staff in front of him and said to everyone.

"However, how to rely on the existing forces in our hands to take over the little devil's move, we need to think carefully... According to reconnaissance, the two units that posed the greatest threat to our Second Army in this Japanese army were their field heavy artillery wing and their tank wing. Therefore, before the battle officially begins, we must first solve these two major problems. ”

"Now I order the field artillery regiment, two divisions directly under the mountain artillery battalion, under the unified command of the commander of the artillery regiment Tian, to find favorable terrain and deploy artillery positions. After discovering the Japanese artillery position, it immediately counterattacked and destroyed it at the first opportunity. Then, according to the artillery coordinates provided by the front-line infantry, the artillery shelled the Japanese tank wing station to support the front-line infantry in the operation...."The army commander Zhong Wei ordered very decisively.

"Yes, army commander, I promise to complete the mission...."Commander Tian Houyi replied with a confident face.

"Division Commander Li, you immediately take your fifth division and build blocking fortifications on the spot to block the Japanese attacking troops. At the same time, the equipment of the infantry artillery companies directly under each regiment was used to lure the Japanese field heavy artillery wing to open fire, so as to provide powerful conditions for the counterattack of the field artillery regiment. After destroying the Japanese artillery wing and the tank wing, under the cover of the powerful artillery fire of the artillery unit, the camera carried out a sortie, killing and injuring a large number of the living forces of the Japanese army. Zhong Wei continued to order.

"Yes, Commander...."

"Da da da...boom boom..."The sound of dense machine gun fire mixed with grenades and shells began to sound on the huge battlefield. The Kwantung Army units in charge of the offensive, faced with the dense rain of bullets fired from the positions of the 5th Division and 13th Regiment, after losing several hundred soldiers, had to slow down their offensive and wait for artillery support from the wing headquarters...

"Your Excellency, the 3rd Infantry Brigade failed in the attack, and the Northeast Field Army is equipped with a large number of automatic weapons, and the firepower is very strong. Forward attacking troops, requesting artillery support, shelling the blocking positions of the Chinese and destroying the enemy's firepower points. The chief of staff walked quickly in front of the wing commander and reported breathlessly. , "Baga, order the mountain artillery squadron directly under the wing to immediately open fire, cover the front-line infantry, and continue to attack. After putting down the binoculars in his hand and retracting his gaze from the battlefield a kilometer away, the wing commander resolutely ordered.

"Hayi...."

"Woooooo In less than five minutes, the mountain artillery squadron directly under the Kwantung Army Wing finished arranging its position and began to let out bursts of angry roars. Under the continuous shelling of six mountain guns, in just a few minutes, the position of the 13th Regiment was completely enveloped by artillery fire......

Of course, everything that happened in the entire battlefield could not be hidden from the eyes of division commander Li Fa. Seeing that the position of the 13th Regiment was completely covered by Japanese artillery fire, division commander Li Fa's face did not show any sad look. Instead, he said to Zhang Wenbi, the political commissar next to him, with a smile on his face.

"Commissar, the little devil's artillery finally can't help it....how is the artillery unit behind us prepared, can we launch a counterattack immediately....I believe that as long as we can destroy the opponent's artillery positions at once. Our opponent will definitely use the only field heavy artillery wing in his hand to shoot at us..."

"Divisional commander, it's ready... Three infantry artillery companies, a total of 18 infantry guns, are all ready for battle and ready to launch a counterattack at any time...."Political Commissar Zhang Wenbi replied confidently.

"Okay, order the artillery units, immediately open fire and destroy the Japanese artillery positions. Then, they will be transferred and dispersed to provide artillery support to the front-line combat troops..."After receiving the political commissar's affirmative answer, the corners of the division commander Li Fa's mouth immediately showed a sneer, and he ordered very decisively.

Two minutes passed in a blink of an eye, just when the Japanese mountain artillery squadron, a total of six mountain guns, under the command of the squadron leader, fired shells at the position of the 13th Regiment as much as they could. He didn't know that on the artillery position of the 5th Division of Dongye, which had accurately calculated their specific location, the eighteen infantry guns had already raised their black hole muzzles, waiting for the firing order....

"Now I order, the target, the Japanese artillery positions, the various gun emplacements, five rounds in a row. After that, immediately move to the next artillery position. Shoot the cannon...."

As soon as the words of the company commanders fell, a huge roar erupted from the artillery positions where a full 18 infantry guns had been assembled. Immediately after, 18 shells, with a huge initial velocity, quickly rushed out of the muzzle of the black hole and flew towards their target...

In the face of the three infantry artillery companies with absolute superiority, the Japanese mountain artillery squadron, which was only equipped with six mountain guns, did not even have a chance to fight back, and completely disappeared directly from the middle of the Japanese army...

Less than 10 minutes after the mountain artillery squadron opened fire, the entire army was annihilated under the counterattack of the artillery units of the Northeast Field Army in front of it. When the news reached the ears of the co-captain, the co-captain immediately showed a look of shock on his face after a short period of distraction. Facing the chief of staff in front of him, he roared loudly.

"Yaga, the cunning Shina man, has hidden so many artillery. Quick, immediately send a telegram to His Excellency the division commander, request artillery support, request artillery support...."

"Hayi, Your Excellency, Wing Commander..."

In the division headquarters, which was less than two kilometers away from the Japanese army's former enemy headquarters, he received a telegram from his subordinates asking for help, and the face of Lieutenant General Takahashi, the commander of the division, also became gloomy, and he asked the chief of staff beside him with an angry face.

"Chief of Staff, did the front-line combat units report on how many large-caliber artillery pieces the people of China have...."

"Division commander, according to reconnaissance, the Northeast Field Army in front of us has at least twenty or so infantry guns, and no large-caliber mountain artillery or field artillery has been found...."The chief of staff replied.

"Yo Xi, the infantry artillery is no match for the field artillery equipped by my artillery wing. Immediately convey my order, the artillery wing, immediately deploy artillery positions to support front-line combat units. At the same time, destroy all artillery units of the Northeast Field Army. In addition, order the tank wing to attack immediately to support the front-line combat troops, and must break through the defense line of the Northeast Field Army in the shortest possible time...."After a sneer flashed quickly at the corner of the division commander's mouth, he ordered confidently to the chief of staff in front of him.

"Hayi...."

The Japanese artillery wing, the fire of 36 field guns, immediately suppressed 18 infantry guns, so that 18 infantry guns had to be shrunken turtles. However, the good fortune of the devil's artillery wing did not last long. In less than five minutes, the field artillery regiment directly under the Second Army, which had calculated the exact location of the Japanese artillery wing, began a sharp counterattack. , 36 field guns of the same specifications as the Japanese army, plus 24 mountain guns with no less power than field artillery, a total of 60 artillery pieces. In the first round of counterattacks alone, more than a third of the equipment of the Japanese artillery wing was destroyed......

In the former enemy headquarters in the east field of Meihekou, commander-in-chief Liu Hua was standing in front of a huge combat sand table, commanding the first major battle since the formation of the Northeast Field Army, which gathered hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides of the enemy and us, and was unprecedented.

"Commander-in-Chief, Commander Zhong Wei of the Second Army, telegraphed: After a day of bloody fighting, the troops successfully destroyed the Japanese artillery wing, wiped out most of the Japanese tank wing, and at the same time, eliminated more than 3,000 Japanese infantry. At present, the five or six main divisions of the Second Army, under the cover of artillery fire, are launching an attack on the Japanese positions through field battles to further weaken the effective forces of the Japanese army...."Facing the commander-in-chief in front of him, the operational staff officer reported with an excited face.

"Fight well....in one day, this Zhong Wei has completely changed the situation between the enemy and us on the battlefield... Is there any telegram from other troops..."Liu Hua's face quickly flashed a look of excitement. Facing the combat staff officer in front of him, he continued to ask.

"There's... This is a telegram just sent by Deputy Commander-in-Chief Yang: The Japanese troops stationed in the Jilin area suddenly transferred the strength of a field division to Changchun this morning. At present, in the entire Jilin region, the total strength of the Japanese garrison is less than three divisions and regiments, with a total strength of 60,000 troops...."

"In addition, the chief of staff has just sent a telegram that in a day at most, I will attack the first army of Tongliao City, and I can completely annihilate the defenders of Tongliao. Then, support the Second Army, block and destroy the Japanese reinforcements..."

Commander Zhou in the Liaoyuan region also sent a telegram: The Kwantung Army units that were engaged in a confrontation with our army once again transferred a field heavy artillery wing to support the battle of the 139th Division in the rear. At present, the Kwantung Army units opposite, although they still have hundreds of thousands of people. But, in terms of firepower, it is no longer an opponent of my heavy artillery division ...."

"The special operations division in the Changchun area telegraphed that the Kwantung Army Headquarters once again transferred a heavy artillery wing and a guard wing totaling more than 6,000 people to reinforce the Siping area. I tried to join forces with the three field divisions and regiments that reinforced the Siping area, recapture the Siping area, and threaten the retreat of our 2nd and 3rd armies..." The chief of staff quickly flipped out a few telegrams and reported them to Liu Hua in front of him.

Looking at the combat staff officers around him, he quickly marked the latest enemy situation to the combat sand table in front of him. The corners of Liu Hua's mouth immediately showed a sneer...

"After half a month of layout, a long-awaited melee has finally begun. Staff Officer Wang, immediately record the latest combat orders:"

"First, the special operations division immediately divided into two routes, one route troops, and slowed down the speed of reinforcing the Japanese army in the direction of Siping. The other army slowed down the march of the Japanese army in the direction of Jilin to reinforce Changchun. ”

"Second, send a telegram to Commander Zhou Baozhong, looking for a favorable fighter opportunity, and immediately launch a counteroffensive against the current Japanese troops, depleting a large number of Japanese forces and destroying all their heavy weapons..."

"Third, send a telegram to Deputy Commander-in-Chief Yang in the Jilin region, ordering Deputy Commander-in-Chief Yang to look for favorable fighters and launch a counteroffensive immediately. Under the condition of minimizing the casualties of the troops, a large number of Japanese living forces were killed and wounded. At the same time, during the battle, destroy as much as possible the heavy weapons equipped by the Japanese defenders ...."

"Fourth, send a telegram to Deputy Chief of Staff Li, ordering the troops to retreat while killing and injuring a large number of Japanese troops, so as to avoid a positional battle with the Japanese army..."

"Fifth, send a telegram to the chief of staff of the Liaoyuan region that the main purpose of this campaign is to kill and wound a large number of the living forces of the Japanese army, not to occupy the entire Tongliao area. So, while ensuring the casualties of the troops, the troops can retreat ... However, before receiving the order to retreat from the former enemy's general headquarters, it was necessary to hold all the Japanese troops in the Tongliao area to the death. ”

"Sixth, send a telegram to Commander Zhong Weizhong, and in the course of the battle, pay attention to guarding against Japanese reinforcements. At the same time, while ensuring the casualties of the troops, we should kill and wound as much as possible the living forces of the Japanese army, and be ready to retreat at any time...."

"Well, that's all for now. Through the radio, orders were immediately given to the various units. If nothing else, the entire battle will end in these two days..."Liu Hua ordered very decisively.

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

With one command after another, from the former enemy's general headquarters, through the radio waves, quickly transmitted to the hands of the apparent combat troops. On the position of the Liaoyuan Northeast Field Army, with Commander Zhou Baozhong under the order, the heavy artillery division, the howitzer regiment directly under the Fifth Corps, the field artillery regiment directly under the 13th Army, the mountain artillery battalion directly under each main division, and the mountain artillery company directly under each regiment launched an unprecedented, devastating blow to the defenseless Japanese artillery position several kilometers away almost at the same time.

The deafening sound of artillery shells detonating announced one thing to all the troops on both sides of the battlefield: In the Liaoyuan area, a new round of counteroffensive by the Northeast Field Army has begun.......

At the same time, in the Jilin region, on the position of the Northeast Field Army, two corps directly under the howitzer regiment, two corps directly under the field artillery regiment, six divisions directly under the mountain artillery battalion, eighteen regiments directly under the mountain artillery company... Hundreds of large-caliber artillery pieces, also under the command of the commander-in-chief Yang Jingyu, raised their black hole muzzles, and began to make full preparations for the final counterattack before dawn...

"Fire... As soon as the order of the commander-in-chief Yang Jingyu was issued, the artillery position located in the rear of the former enemy headquarters remembered the deafening sound of artillery bombardment. Immediately after, a piercing whistling sound reached everyone's ears. Hundreds of shells, with the roar of artillery, quickly smashed towards their targets.

In an instant, the forward positions of the Japanese army that confronted the fighters, the artillery positions exposed by the Japanese army... All military targets, at the first time, were devastatingly hit by hundreds of artillery pieces ...

Compared with the fierce reaction of the Northeast Field Army in Liaoyuan and Jilin, Zuo Quan, the commander-in-chief of the Tongliao region, seemed much milder. Receiving an order from the headquarters to attack Tongliao City, the First Army, which had already fallen into the stage of street fighting, slowed down the pace of the offensive under the order of Zuo Quan. At the same time, the latest operational orders were issued to the two army commanders.

"Immediately give an order to Commander He, leave the strength of a division and occupy the existing positions. At the same time, the remnants of the Japanese army in the city were besieged but not attacked, and the siege was carried out. As for the remaining two divisions, together with the field artillery regiment directly under the corps, they immediately set off to reinforce the Fourth Army and participate in the encirclement and annihilation of the Japanese reinforcements... We have four artillery regiments in our hands, and in terms of firepower, we have an absolute advantage. Rather. It is better to fight in the street with the little devils than to fight with the little devils outside the city, and the price we pay will not only be smaller, but the results will be greater. Go and give orders right away...."
