Chapter 285: Let's settle accounts after the fall

Wang Xiaoming's voice fell, Guo Bingxun turned his head and glanced at Yang Zhen, and after knowing that the two people who had played a role in agitating the law smiled knowingly, he nodded and said, "Your two requirements are not too high, and the headquarters can meet you all." In addition to your request, the headquarters will allocate 200 jeeps and 100 medium jeeps to you. Also, the headquarters approved that you can shoot five divisions. ”

"But Anshan, Benxi Lake, and Miyahara must be intact, and a lot of screws must be taken back. These enterprises, which condense the blood of the Chinese and were built by the Japanese by plundering the Chinese people's fat and people's ointment, must be completely returned to the hands of the Chinese. In a word, the troops can be lighted, but the factory must not be missing a screw. ”

Guo Bingxun's words fell, like a thunderclap exploded in the entire venue. It was approved that Wang Xiaoming could shoot five divisions, and the headquarters was out of the past. All of you here are senior cadres above the Anti-United Nations Column, and they all understand what this price means. However, everyone only whispered at the bottom, but no one really dared to question this decision.

Facing everyone's private discussions, Guo Bingxun smiled and said to Wang Xiaoming: "At the same time as your operation is unfolding, the first and second airborne divisions directly under the headquarters will be airborne and airborne at Anshan and Benxi Lake respectively. Your main task is to get to the two places as quickly as possible to meet their movements. ”

"But judging from the overall deployment of the Japanese army at present, Anshan and Benxi Lake are a key point to contain the Zhongchang Railway and a key point to contain the Anbong Railway. Even without these two steel plants, the Japanese army would have risked their lives to fight for it. Therefore, your task is to arrive at Anshan and Benxi Lake within the specified time at all costs, even if the troops are exhausted. ”

"Cooperate with these two paratrooper divisions to seize these two largest steel companies in China. and cut off the route of the entire Kwantung Army's southward retreat, as well as cut off the route of reinforcements of the Japanese army in southern Liaoning. As for the battle in the direction of Fushun, the headquarters has its own ideas and arrangements, and there is no need for your eastern cluster to interfere. ”

"I won't repeat the assurances you just said here, but you have to remember your assurances. The metallurgical industry of the entire South Manchurian industry is basically in your direction. In other words, this direction of yours is the top priority of the entire battlefield. So after this battle, we have to settle accounts after the autumn. ”

After explaining to Wang Xiaoming, Guo Bingxun pointed to Tao Jingfei and said: "Your five divisions in Tanggu plus the two brigades of Jinchaji are not aimed at any part of Liaodong Bay. Judging from the possible trend of the overall battle situation at the moment, the 7th Division is bound to return for reinforcements when it is launched in the north. ”

"And the main task of your five divisions is to leave any other direction alone after the battle begins. Don't think about going through eastern Hebei and joining forces in the western Liaoxi battlefield. After the 7th Division left the Gaiping line, you set off by boat from Tanggu and landed directly at this position. ”

Speaking of this, Guo Bingxun's baton fell heavily on Fuzhou Bay on the Liaodong Peninsula located in the corner of this South Manchurian map: "I don't care how well you train now, but in the first echelon, you must ensure that at least one fully equipped division lands." ”

"The aerial reconnaissance photos of the entire Liaodong Peninsula, including Fuzhou Bay, have been sent to you by the headquarters. The simultaneous landing operation plan is in the entire battle plan sent to you. The deployment of the Japanese army that has been reconnoitred throughout the Liaodong Peninsula is also in your battle plan. ”

Looking at the position where Guo Bingxun's baton fell, Tao Jingfei was speechless. The headquarters will land the target directly in Fuzhou Bay, which is intended to directly seize Dalian. At present, the main force of the little devils is in the north, and the entire Liaodong Peninsula is just an independent garrison, plus some Japanese police, and some sailors at the Lushun Japanese naval base, and the entire southern Liaoning is quite empty.

The number of Japanese troops left behind is not only small, but the most important thing is that the combat effectiveness and equipment are very poor. If the number of troops for one landing is sufficient, then it will definitely not be difficult to seize the Liaodong Peninsula in one fell swoop. This southern Liaoning battlefield was the one with the least number of Japanese troops in all combat areas.

It's just that the current ships can only transport one division at a time, and if they are squeezed, they can only carry one and a half divisions, which makes Tao Jingfei feel that the first wave of landing troops is somewhat insufficient. And if you squeeze down a division and a half, all the heavy equipment will not be able to carry.

At the same time, it was nearly 200 nautical miles from Tanggu to the landing site designated by the higher authorities, which was somewhat too far. After transporting the first wave of landing troops, even if all the ships are able to return safely. But it will also take a long time to reload the second wave of troops, and this is still in the absence of wind and waves.

During the period of being stationed in Tianjin, Tao Jingfei made up a lot of maritime knowledge. Know that too much wind and waves can make it difficult for the boat to navigate. I also knew that the follow-up reinforcements were too slow, and the troops who went ashore in waves were insufficient, so they could only defend and not attack. If, after the first wave of troops came ashore, Gaiping's Japanese army quickly reinforced the Liaodong Peninsula by rail, then this battle would have been difficult to fight.

The most important thing is that in addition to the dozen or so Japanese landing ships, many of the remaining ones are motorized sailboats converted from sailboats. Not to mention the slow speed, it can't withstand too many winds and waves, and there are not many troops that can be shipped. Even with the large and small Japanese steamers captured at the ports of Tanggu and Tianjin, this was barely enough to transport a division of troops, including heavy equipment.

In addition to the actual capacity of the main sailing ship, both the number of people loaded and the heavy equipment that can be loaded are seriously insufficient. The large ones can fit a company, and the small ones can fit a platoon. The predominance of sailing ships has also led to the dispersion of the troops.

Once any accident is encountered at sea, or the fleet is washed away, or even runs away by itself, it will seriously affect the combat effectiveness of the troops. Although the Japanese navy is now barely surviving, it has basically ceased all activities in the Bohai Sea. But they can still squeeze out some light ships in North Korea and on the mainland.

The Bohai Sea is not far from the Japanese mainland in a straight line, and it is even closer to North Korea. The fleet, which is dominated by sailboats, not only has a small capacity, but also travels slowly. The distance from Tanggu to Fuzhou Bay is too far away. Once the Japanese Navy is rapidly reinforced, it is very likely that the second and third echelon fleets that transport the follow-up will encounter major dangers.

Even if the Japanese Navy does not intervene, the Kwantung Army still has a maritime police force in Yingkou Port. The headquarters asked for 200 nautical miles at this time, which was not too risky. Is it better to change the landing target, even if it is Jinzhou.

Perhaps seeing that Tao Jingfei was worried about something, Guo Bingxun groaned slightly and said, "You don't have to worry about the ship." In addition to the more than 100 sailing ships that have been refurbished in Tanggu, the Shandong Military Region has also been refurbished in Weihai and Yantai during this period, and some of the sailing ships will arrive at Tanggu Port before dusk tomorrow. ”

At the same time, the General Headquarters has drawn out all the sailors of the Northeast Military Region's Frontier Ship Brigade based on the warships on the puppet Manchurian River, and all the ships that can be dismantled and transported by land have been dismantled and transported to Tanggu. Among them, there were 13 200-ton steamers and 41 150-ton steamers. ”

"These steamships are all ships built by the headquarters in the past two years based on the Harbin Shipyard, plus a large number of modified sailboats, which are enough for you to send two divisions of troops to land in the first wave. Why do you think the headquarters has delayed the launch of the offensive until now, among other reasons, the main reason is that this batch of steamers will arrive in Tanggu and complete the formation. ”

"In addition, there are two airports in Dalian, one is the civilian Dalian Airport, and the other is the Tuchengzi Airport used by the Kwantung Army. These two airfields in Dalian, you must take them down as soon as the first wave of troops goes ashore. Remember, I'm talking about taking it down as soon as possible. ”

"The transport fleet of the headquarters, after completing the airborne landing on Anshan and Benxi. Half of the troops will be immediately transferred to Tianjin and airlifted to your follow-up troops. In order to ensure the airdrop and airlift in the three directions, the headquarters has decided to transfer all the Stirling bombers to be used as transport planes temporarily. ”

In addition, the headquarters has negotiated with the US military to secondment their transport fleet in wartime. The Americans have a total of one hundred and thirty transport aircraft at several bases in North Manchuria. The headquarters of these transport planes has agreed with the US military that during this battle, all of them will be temporarily used by our troops in the Northeast Battlefield. In this way, in this battle, with the temporarily modified aircraft, we can have nearly 1,000 transport aircraft to use. ”

"After completing the airborne landing of two paratrooper divisions, the headquarters at the same time guaranteed the subsequent supply of the two airborne divisions. You can dispatch a considerable part of the transport aircraft group to transfer your troops stationed in Tanggu to Dalian. But the premise is that after you land, you must take the two airports around Dalian in the shortest possible time. ”

"As for the puppet Manchurian Maritime Police Force based in Yingkou, you don't have to worry. All the fleets are in full cover when they are moving and landing. In addition, the headquarters has made other arrangements for this puppet Manchurian maritime police force. And the Japanese Navy, you don't have to worry, they have long been unable to take care of the Bohai Sea at the moment. ”

"Can this battle be successfully won in the shortest possible time, and the Liaodong Peninsula can be completely taken. It has a direct bearing on whether or not you can act resolutely and quickly after you go ashore. The Japanese garrison on the entire Liaodong Peninsula was very weak, and there were basically no heavy weapons except for the Lushun Heavy Artillery Wing. ”

"Even the so-called heavy artillery wing, equipped with heavy artillery, is simply not capable of field warfare. Therefore, whether you can achieve the entire strategic goal in this battle is a quick word. Don't worry about Lushun for now, that's not the focus of the headquarters, your first focus is Dalian. Your requirements are the same as Wang Xiaoming's, the factory in Dalian must be taken over by the headquarters in its entirety. ”

After explaining Tao Jingfei, Guo Bingxun turned to Yi Liangpin and said: "In this battle, your mission in North Korea is not only to make a big noise and attract all the attention of the Japanese army base camp to North Korea. It was to contain the Korean army so that it could not reinforce the Kwantung Army. ”

"You don't care about the battlefield in South Manchuria, but the Korean army or the Japanese army in Japan, even if it is only reinforced to an infantry squad in South Manchuria, the headquarters will only ask you. You're a support battlefield, but you're in a vital position. Although there are only three infantry divisions plus one Korean Independence Army, the headquarters is very determined to transfer the bravado armored division to you. ”

"At the same time, the strength of the Korean Independence Army under your command is not very weak. At present, the Korean Independence Army has seven brigades and two artillery regiments directly under it, and more than 30,000 troops are quite well equipped. In that direction, it can be called a decisive force. ”

"Since we are fighting in Korea, then you must use this Korean independence army to the fullest, and let them play the role they should play, which is also a legitimate thing. At the same time, you must also believe that the Korean comrades will show their bravery and tenacity in the battle to liberate their homeland. ”
