Chapter 322: There is no possibility of a reversal
After the surrender of the Japanese army in Huludao, the entire battlefield west of Shenyang was basically without a single soldier of the Japanese army, except for the Fifth Army, which was still struggling, and a large number of Japanese corpses that were being cremated and buried by the common people, as well as a large number of Japanese prisoners of war.

The entire major industrial zones of South Manchuria, including the Dalian Industrial Corridor, and the enemies of Shenyang, Anshan, Benxi, Jinzhou, and Liaoyang, have all been cleared. The Japanese spent a lot of effort, and after decades of construction, it has become the largest industrial zone in the whole of Asia except for Japan itself, and basically fell into the hands of the Anti-Japanese Federation.
As for Fushun City, which has become an isolated island after Du Kaishan completed the intersperse. The main force of the Special Operations Command, which has long been under the personal command of Li Mingrui, is under the cooperation of an infantry division. Under the attack of multiple combat modes, it changed hands at the same time as Du Kaishan completed the intersperse.
Regarding the gains and losses of Fushun City, Yang Zhen takes it very seriously. Although the number and scale of factories in Fushun are far inferior to those in Shenyang, Anshan and Benxi Lake, and there is not much machinery manufacturing, it is not a pure resource-based city as people imagine, and there is nothing but coal mines.
In fact, although the entire industrial system of Fushun is not as good as other industrial cities in South Manchuria, such as Shenyang, it has unique industries that are not found in other regions because of its unique resources. The oil shale here is the most directly in the hands of the Japanese, and it is also the closest to the mainland, and the largest fuel production base outside of the oil fields of South Sakhalin.
In addition to coal mines and oil shale resources, there are also three oil shale refining plants built by Japan, a special steel manufacturing industry, and the only electrolytic aluminum production plant in China that Yang Zhen values most. Although these factories, in the previous operation of the harvesters, due to the raid and demolition of the Anti-Japanese Union, they have almost lost their production capacity.
With the exception of the oil shale production plant, which was in dire need of fuel and partially resumed production at all costs, the remaining two plants have been paralyzed. But the aluminum plant that has only been disassembled and taken away the key components, most of which are still intact, especially the foundation is still basically intact, and the Japanese are still working hard to repair the aluminum plant, but it is the only plant that produces electrolytic aluminum in the entire Northeast and even in the whole of China.
Whether or not this electrolytic aluminum plant can be completely seized is very important for the Chinese to really build their own aviation industry. Because Yang Zhen knows very well that once the war reaches the end, the overall situation of the Americans has been decided. Aviation aluminum, which has never been met in the first place, will be immediately discontinued.
Throughout the war, the Americans were hesitant to provide assistance to the equipment for refining and processing electrolytic aluminum. Not only is the amount of aluminum refined for aviation small, but even the provision of equipment required for the construction of electrolytic aluminum plants has always been slow and slow. Beiman's industrial area, which has been roughly formed, has never been able to build a complete electrolytic aluminum plant.
In the current development of aviation technology, aluminum has become the main raw material of the aircraft industry. The lack of sufficient electrolytic aluminum production capacity cannot ensure the development of the aviation industry and the future aerospace industry. Without its own aviation aluminum industry, it is impossible to build its own aviation industry.
So this is just an aluminum plant that has been dismantled and the key components have been dismantled, and Yang Zhen looks at it quite seriously. To some extent, it is even much heavier than the steel bases of Anshan and Benxi. As for the three oil smelters extracted from oil shale, as well as the Fushun Special Steel Plant, which was also dismantled and took away important equipment, Yang Zhen did not take it too seriously.
Compared with other industries in Fushun, this factory, which can refine electrolytic aluminum and electrolytic magnesium, with an annual output of more than 10,000 tons of electrolytic aluminum, is something that Yang Zhen named to seize completely at all costs. As for those fuel factories that can only be refined in oil shale, both in terms of cost and capacity, they cannot be compared with the oil smelters that have basically been built in Beiman, but Yang Zhen has not been classified as a key target.
It is precisely because of the importance of this aluminum plant to the future development that Yang Zhen still sent Li Mingrui's special operations command with an infantry division to fight the tough battle in Fushun. Moreover, during the battle, Li Mingrui's department was the main name. He wanted a complete factory, not a ruined wall that had been blown up by the Japanese army.
In this Fushun battle, Li Mingrui did not wait for the infantry division to complete the cleaning of the entire Fushun periphery, so he put all his two detachments into it. Adopt large-scale infiltration tactics, directly infiltrate Fushun City, and seize several targets designated by Yang Zhen at the first time.
Within 24 hours of infiltrating Fushun and before the main forces of the 122nd Division on the periphery could react, the two infantry brigades of the 267th Wing of the 122nd Division of the Kwantung Army, which was responsible for the defense of Fushun, and the two engineer squadrons of the division and regiment, were neatly and thoroughly resolved.
The 265th Wing, the main force of the 122nd Division, and an infantry brigade of the 266th Wing, were surrounded by Du Kaishan and the main force of the 44th Army in the mountainous area east of Kaiyuan. The remaining main forces of the division were scattered on various key points around Fushun. But he didn't expect that on the battlefield of Fushun, the Anti-Japanese Federation did not wait for the periphery to be cleared, and directly adopted large-scale infiltration tactics to attack the city.
And the combat effectiveness of the troops invested by the Anti-Japanese Federation really surprised Lieutenant General Chilu Li, commander of the 122nd Division. This lieutenant general, who had just been transferred from the Kannai battlefield, was exposed to such a large-scale special operation for the first time. The troops left in Fushun by his 122nd Division were not opponents at all.
Li Mingrui put aside the key points on the periphery and went straight into the tactics of the main industrial area of Fushun, which caught the Japanese army by surprise. In just 24 hours, the entire main urban area of Fushun, together with the two major coal mines of Qianjinzhai and Laohutai in the south, completely fell into the hands of the Anti-Japanese Federation. Only the Longfeng Mine was blown up by the Japanese army and failed to succeed, but this has nothing to do with the overall situation.
By the time Lieutenant General Qin Yan Saburo wanted to transfer troops to reinforce Fushun, the entire South Manchurian battlefield and the various units of the Kwantung Army had either been surrounded or had already taken care of themselves. The complete seizure of Fushun City, and the complete fall of the only electrolytic aluminum factory in China into the anti-Japanese alliance, is also the most exciting thing for Yang Zhen.
He did not wait for the end of the war in South Manchuria, so he immediately ordered the engineers and technicians who had been prepared, carrying the key equipment that had been dismantled, as well as a batch of equipment that had been obtained from the Americans, especially 60 electrolytic aluminum tanks and some forging presses, to immediately return to Fushun to seize the time to carry out emergency repairs to Fushun industry.
This Fushun aluminum plant is on Yang Zhen's first batch of lists that must be repaired in the shortest possible time. And the expansion plan of this aluminum plant has already been formulated. The corresponding equipment required was also intermittent, and the idea managed to get a batch. Although the number is not sufficient, the Fushun aluminium plant's output will at least quadruple after the expansion plan is completed.
The same rush repair is not only in Fushun, but in the entire liberated South Manchurian industrial zone, all efforts are being made to repair those factories that have been recovered. The Dalian Steel Mill, Dalian Rolling Mill, and Dalian Chemical Plant, which have been preserved in good condition, took the lead in resuming production under the mobilization of the takeover personnel who had already been fully equipped.
While the campaign was still ongoing, various factories in Dalian had begun to supply products one after another. In particular, the raw materials for the manufacture of smokeless fires and bullet casings have begun to be supplied to the base areas in North China. The rapid resumption of production and high efficiency of various factories in Dalian have been commended by the central government.
In fact, the main reason for the rapid resumption of production in these factories was that before the war, according to the situation of various factories in South Manchuria, after Yang Zhen coordinated with the Northeast Bureau and the Northeast People's Government, a strict acceptance plan was formulated, and a one-on-one acceptance team including technical personnel was formed.
However, the landing operation on the entire Liaodong Peninsula was carried out suddenly, and Dalian was completely captured before the Japanese army could react. As a result, all the factories in Dalian have basically not suffered any damage and have been preserved intact. The various receiving groups that followed the troops into Dalian and immediately stationed themselves in various factories to organize the resumption of production.
Compared to Shenyang and other industrial zones, Dalian is the region with the fastest recovery in production. The complete reception of the factory of Yalingu Bearing Co., Ltd. in Manchuria, Japan, located in Fuxian, also represents that the bearings required by the Northeast industry can get rid of dependence on foreign countries to a certain extent.
The bearing factory, which has long been on the key list of expansion of the Northeast Bureau, has prepared thousands of equipment for expansion, and has also been transferred to Fuxian County by sea. When the bearing factory was developing in the military industry, Yang Zhen, who suffered enough from the quality of bearings and the lack of qualified military bearings, was unusually resolute.
With the approval of the central government and the allocation of a batch of gold, the Northeast Bureau has decided to invest 10 million yuan to expand it. This bearing factory, together with the aluminum factory in Fushun, as well as the Shenyang aircraft factory, the Shenyang smelter, and several machine tool factories in Shenyang, became the top priority of the Northeast Bureau's investment after the liberation of the South Manchurian Industrial Zone.
The basic liberation of the entire South Manchurian Industrial Zone has injected a lot of fresh blood into the industrial development of the entire North China and Northeast China, and has also completely laid the foundation for China's industrialization. The South Manchurian Industrial Zone, which was basically completely captured, made Yang Zhen's heart that had been hanging high since the beginning of the battle completely relaxed.
As for the current situation of the entire South Manchurian war, let alone the current strength of the Kwantung Army. Even if all the North Korean troops join the South Manchurian battlefield, there is basically no possibility that they will be unable to turn the tables. Faced with the current situation in South Manchuria, which had already been decided, Yang Zhen issued a general attack order on the Fifth Army to all the participating troops.
The order for a general attack on the Fifth Army was never issued before, in order to focus on ensuring the encirclement and annihilation of the two Japanese armies in the Liaobei Battlefield. Therefore, Yang Zhen has always given orders to clamp down on the Fifth Army. This Fifth Army could not be allowed to interfere with the progress of the battle situation in northern Liaobei, nor could it be allowed to escape.
At the point where the battle has progressed to the present point, the 30th Army deployed by the Kwantung Army in northern Liaobei has been completely annihilated, and the 44th Army is about to be destroyed. The main force of the entire northern Liaobei battlefield has all been freed up, and it is time to give the Kwantung Army the most fatal blow and completely solve the war in South Manchuria.
Yang Zhen issued a general attack order on the Fifth Army and mobilized troops to prepare for the encirclement of the Third Army in the Benxi Battlefield in Liaodong. It is also preparing to completely block the Sino-North Korean border in order to cut off the last link between the Kwantung Army and the North Korean Army. The most important thing is to break the current stalemate on the battlefield in Liaodong.
And at this moment, the only battlefield that is still stuck is the battlefield between Wang Xiaoming's headquarters on the Eastern Front and the Third Army of the Kwantung Army. As for the two divisions of the Japanese army that were attacking Anshan with all their might on the Haicheng front, they seized the Liaodong Peninsula at Tao Jingfei's headquarters, and quickly moved north with the strength of three divisions, advancing to the line from Xiuyan to Haicheng.
At the first time, I was worried that these two divisions, especially the Seventh Division, the only veteran division of the Kwantung Army, also fell into the mouth of the Anti-Japanese Federation. Before Tao Jingfei's department closed the road from Dashiqiao to Xiuyan, he gave up all attempts to counterattack the front line of Anshan and Liaoyang, quickly withdrew to Fengcheng, and then joined the Benxi battlefield.
