Li Guotao looked down at the sand table, thought about it carefully, and then said with a serious face: "Now that the Japanese army's strength on the northern front is relatively empty, then we can take advantage of this opportunity to continue to tilt the strategic focus to the north."
I think we can order the three divisions of the new Third Division, the Armored Division, and the Cavalry Division to all go north, and the headquarters will also go north, concentrate the main forces, and march into Heilongjiang in a big way. ”Political Commissar Lu glanced down at the map and said with a worried expression: "If you march into Heilongjiang on a large scale, the battle line will be further lengthened, and with such a long supply line, it may be difficult to guarantee the logistics of the front-line troops." ”Li Guotao sighed slightly and said: "There must be difficulties, but we have no choice now, if we don't want to fight the Japanese army on the line from Tongliao to Chifeng, we can only march north."
We can only do our best to meet the logistical problems, and after the troops enter Heilongjiang, they must try their best to find ways to solve the supply problem on the spot. ”Political Commissar Lu frowned and said with a serious face: "It seems that you have made up your mind." ”"Hmm" Li Guotao nodded resolutely and said: "Only in this way can we break the current deadlock and reverse the current situation." ”Political Commissar Lu hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded and said: "Since this is the case, then do it" "Okay" Li Guotao nodded, and then turned to Ma Zhenguo and said with a serious face: "Immediately pass the order, order the independent third division, the new fourth division, rest on the spot for the night, and continue to go north early tomorrow morning and march in the direction of Qiqihar."
In addition, the new 3rd Division, the Armored Division, and the Cavalry Division were all ordered to go north to support the 3rd Independent Division and the 4th Independent Division.The 2nd Independent Division was ordered to immediately move north, march in the direction of the Mudanjiang River, and launch guerrilla warfare in the area of the Mudanjiang River to contain the nearby Japanese puppet army. ”"Yes" Ma Zhenguo replied respectfully, and then asked: "What about the new 1st Division and the new 2nd Division and other troops?"
”Li Guotao said with a serious face: "Also, the teaching brigade and the units directly under the column immediately prepare to go north, and two days later, go north to Heilongjiang with the headquarters." ”"Yes" Ma Zhenguo nodded with a serious face, and turned around to convey the order.Early the next morning, the 3rd Independent Division immediately went north, and arrived at Tailai County at noon on the same day, and in the afternoon of the same day, concentrated tens of thousands of troops to storm Tailai County, and at dusk of the same day, successfully recovered Tailai County, and the main force of the army continued to move north.At the same time, the newly formed Fourth Division also immediately marched north and marched in the direction of Qiqihar.Changchun, the headquarters of the Japanese Kwantung Army, Yoshimoto Sadachi held a telegram in his hand, hurriedly walked into Yamada Otozo's office, and said with a respectful face: "Report to Your Excellency Commander, the Independent Third Division of the Eighth Route Army and the newly formed Fourth Division have moved north, Tailai County has been lost, and the county garrison is all broken.At present, the Eighth Route Army is continuing to march in the direction of Qiqihar. ”"Nani" Yamada Otozo couldn't help but open his mouth wide in surprise, and said with a look of disbelief: "These damn dirt eight roads, what do they want to do, do they really dare to attack Qiqihar." ”Yoshimoto Sadachi hurriedly replied: "Your Excellency Commander, according to the latest information obtained by the Imperial Army, the newly formed Third Division, the Armored Division and the Cavalry Division of the Eighth Route Army have also left their garrisons and are all heading north, and their target should be Heilongjiang.The Daocun brigade is all broken, resulting in the current Qiqihar garrison being empty, and the commander of the Eighth Route Army, Li Guotao, has always been arrogant, bold, and dares to do anything. ”Yamada Otozo frowned and thought for a while, and then ordered with a serious face: "Immediately order the imperial army around Qiqihar to immediately assemble in Qiqihar to ensure the safety of Qiqihar."
The 1st Division and the 8th Division of the Imperial Army were ordered to immediately go north to support Qiqihar.If Tubalu really dares to attack Qiqihar, then we will take the opportunity to annihilate it all under the city of Qiqihar. ”"Your Excellency Commander Hai is wise."
Yoshimoto Sadachi responded respectfully, and quickly turned around to deliver the order.On the morning of the next day, the main force of the 3rd Independent Division of the Eighth Route Army had arrived at Jiangqiao.Speaking of Jiangqiao, I have to think of the Jiangqiao Anti-Japanese War.After the 918 Incident, after the Japanese army occupied Liaoning, Jilin and other places, it continued to wave its division north to attack Heilongjiang.In order for the Japanese army to occupy the city of Qiqihar, they had to cross the Nenjiang Bridge on the Tao Railway.As a result, Ma Zhanshan, who had just been appointed acting provincial chairman and military commander of Heilongjiang Province, deployed about three brigades on the north bank of the Nenjiang River to hold the Nenjiang Bridge.On November 4, 1931, the Japanese army attacked with a Manchurian garrison and was repulsed.On November 6, the Kwantung Army entered the battle with the main force of the 2nd Division.Ma Zhanshan personally went to the front line to command, and the Japanese army used superior artillery fire and aircraft and tanks to cover it, forming a tug-of-war.On the 12th, the Japanese army transferred reinforcements from Korea to strengthen the offensive.Ma Zhanshan fought alone, and retreated due to excessive casualties among the troops, and there was no follow-up support.Although the Jiangqiao War of Resistance ultimately failed, it was rated as the first shot of the Chinese army's organized and led resistance to the Japanese imperialist invaders, and also the first shot of the World Anti-Fascist War.At this time, after a lapse of ten years, the Eighth Route Army marched north to Jiangqiao.The attacking and defending sides fell one by one, the Chinese army became the attacking side, and the Japanese army became the defensive side.After the loss of Tailai County, the Japanese army hurriedly mobilized about a brigade of troops to fortify north of Jiangqiao, in an attempt to block the Eighth Route Army on the south bank of the Nenjiang River.Yang Xuecheng, commander of the Heilongjiang Military Region of the Eighth Route Army, accompanied by Chen Xiang, commander of the Third Independent Division, rushed to the Jiangqiao front.After Yang Xuecheng held a telescope and observed the situation of the Japanese position, he said with a serious face: "The Japanese army on the other side only has about one brigade of troops, but the Japanese army in the direction of Qiqihar will inevitably lead troops to support Jiangqiao."
The longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for our army, so we must take the river bridge as soon as possible. ”Chen Xiang said confidently: "It's a fool's dream for a little devil in a brigade to also want to block our independent third division.It only takes one charge for us to take the river bridge in one fell swoop. ”Yang Xuecheng waved his hand and said: "Don't underestimate the enemy, the Japanese army has been operating here for many years and has built complete fortifications."
Although our army has an absolute superiority in troops, it is not able to give full play to it at all due to geographical limitations, so this battle is not easy to fight. ”aa2705221:
