Leng Tiefeng shook his head, changed the subject, and said: "Old Xu, although the effect of the Battle of Fuxing Town was good, it failed to achieve the intended goal. We originally thought that even if the military police force of the Lin Agency could not
Come, at least Miura Takayuki's special forces division will definitely come out, but I didn't expect that only a part of them came!"
Regarding the battle in Fuxing Town, Xu Rui had two goals before the war. One was to take the opportunity to wipe out the military police units of the Forestry Agency in one fell swoop, and the other was to eat the main force of Miura Takayuki's special operations division! But now, just
Only half of the special operations division was eaten, so it can be said that the entire goal has basically failed.
Xu Rui nodded when he heard this, and said with regret: "Yes, such a good opportunity, not to mention the Hayashi Agency that failed to wipe out Asaburo Kobayashi in one fell swoop, and even the special battle that failed to wipe out Takayuki Miura in one fell swoop
It’s really a pity for the division, I’m afraid it will be difficult to find such a good opportunity again in the future!”
After a pause, Xu Rui changed his tone and continued: "However, it would be good to be able to kill more than 1,500 masters recruited from the country by the Japanese military leaders! If not, when the Japanese Seventh Army attacks Hunchun in the future,
When a large-scale sweep is launched in the Ling base area, these more than 1,500 masters will become a serious threat!"
"That's true!" Leng Tiefeng nodded and said with deep approval, "Although these more than 1,500 masters don't know any special combat skills and their marksmanship is poor, their close combat abilities are comparable.
It is very powerful and is especially dangerous in jungle battles and night battles. If we fight night battles in jungle terrain, our Langya Brigade may not be able to take advantage."
After a pause, Leng Tiefeng said again: "But Lao Xu, the remaining half of the special operations division is also a threat. Do you want to find a way to kill it too? Otherwise, wait for Miura Takayuki and that old Japanese to kill the remaining
After half of the special operations division has been trained, it is certainly not enough to deal with our Langya Brigade, but it is more than enough to deal with the main force of our new regiment!"
Xu Rui shook his head and said: "At this stage, it is better not to provoke the Japanese for the time being, it is more important to repair the fortifications!"
"That's true." Leng Tiefeng nodded, "It's not too late to wait until the construction of Hunchunling Fortress is completed before attacking."
Neither Xu Rui nor Leng Tiefeng expected that after the Battle of Fuxing Town, Hunchun County would enter a three-month period of calm. Yamashita Fengwen was delayed because the special operations division had not been trained into an army.
There was no large-scale raid on the Hunchunling base area, and Xu Rui was busy repairing the fortress, so he did not take the initiative to provoke the Japanese.
As a result, it took more than three months.
…
Autumn turned to winter, three months passed in the blink of an eye, and time entered December of 1940.
Since entering October, there have been several heavy snowfalls in the entire Changbai Mountains. The average snow thickness in the Hunchunling Mountains exceeds one meter, and the snow thickness in some mountainous areas even exceeds two meters! With such heavy snow, the surface of the eastern foot of the Hunchunling Mountains
All the fortifications have been stopped, but the fortifications in the heart of the mountain are still under construction in full swing.
There is strength in numbers. With more than 100,000 people in 16 towns in Hunchun, plus more than 100,000 landless refugees mobilized from the three eastern provinces through various channels by the Manchuria Provincial Committee, in just three months,
, the entire Hunchun Ridge has been almost hollowed out, and sixteen major hilltops have been built into sixteen large fortresses.
Although it is still just an outline, it already has initial defensive capabilities.
When talking about Hunchunling Fortress, we cannot fail to mention the chief engineer Sekiya Yinan!
If it had not been for Sekiya Yitsuo's careful survey of the entire mountain topography of Hunchun Ridge, and a targeted design based on the topography and geological conditions of Hunchun Ridge, it would have been impossible to build sixteen buildings in just three months.
It is almost impossible to build a large fortress, even if there are 300,000 civilians, it is absolutely impossible!
For example, the Laolongshan Fortress, which is the No. 1 fortress in the entire Hunchunling fortress group, encountered major difficulties when digging the No. 1 main tunnel, because most of the Laolongshan mountain is made of rocks. If you dig hard, you will have to dig hard.
Digging a main tunnel out of hard granite is an unimaginably large project, and there is no way to calculate the time it will take. Even a conservative estimate would be calculated in years!
It would take several years just to dig a main tunnel that runs through the mountain, not to mention the time it would take to build the entire Laolongshan Fortress. This progress is obviously not good! If it had been someone else, they might have just given up.
The entire Hunchunling fortress group will leave a fatal gap in Laolong Mountain.
But the good news is that Gu Yinan, the chief engineer.
Sekiya Yi'nan once again conducted a careful survey of Laolong Mountain, and then found a fault zone in the mountain, and then changed the main tunnel to the fault, which greatly accelerated the progress of the project!
In a word, thanks to the chief engineer Gu Yinan, the construction of the Hunchunling Fortress Group became very smooth and fast! By the end of December, the outline of the entire Hunchunling Fortress Group had basically taken shape. Next,
It is the expansion of some military facilities, such as dormitories, arsenals, underground command posts, field hospitals and other facilities.
Furthermore, a large number of caves need to be dug and built at the foot of the mountain near the eastern foot of Hunchun Ridge to serve as factory buildings.
Therefore, although the mountain is blocked by heavy snow outside, the construction inside the mountain is in full swing.
…
Wujiashan, New Regiment Headquarters.
"Dear Comrade Cherev, come and drink a glass of hot water." Xu Rui enthusiastically handed a cup of hot water to Cherev.
Cherev stamped his feet vigorously to shake off the ice flakes on his boots. He took off the velvet hat on his head, dusted off the snow flakes on the hat, and cursed: "Comrade Xu Rui, do you have vodka? Please
Give me a shot of vodka."
Cherev had just faced a blizzard and drove nearly a hundred miles of mountain roads from Vladivostok. Because the road was blocked by the heavy snow, cars and even horses could not pass, so he could only walk here with the guards. It was very hard.
After the Wujiashan Fortress, I was almost exhausted and paralyzed, and my whole body was frozen.
So at this time, Cherev just wanted to drink a glass of strong vodka.
"Vodka?" Xu Rui shook his head like a rattle and said, "I don't have vodka here."
"What are you talking about? There is no vodka to drink?" Cherev immediately became unhappy after hearing this and shouted loudly, "I just had a batch of supplies delivered three days ago, including fifty boxes of vodka, and you actually came with
I said no vodka? Could it be that you drank fifty boxes of vodka in three days? Oh, hell, you damn alcoholic!"
"You're right, finish the drink." Xu Rui spread his hands and said, but in fact, all fifty boxes of vodka were transferred to the field hospital by Jiangnan and used as alcohol. By the way, Jiangnan was officially transferred to the Northeast Anti-Resistance Alliance
1st Regiment, serving as director of the Political Department and a senior official in Yanbian under the leadership of the Manchuria Provincial Committee.
Ge Qing, the original senior official of Yanbian, has died.
Speaking of the journey from Jiangnan to the Hunchunling base area, it was really hard work.
Jiangnan first transferred from Yan'an to Chongqing, then reached Myanmar via the Burma Highway, then arrived in Singapore, then took a Soviet-flagged merchant ship from Singapore to Vladivostok, and finally arrived at Wujiashan Fortress from Vladivostok. There were at least two journeys along the way.
It took three months to travel more than ten thousand miles.
Because of the long journey, Hong Guoer, Pang Dun and Aunt Wang did not follow.
The fifty boxes of vodka that Cherev gave to Xu Rui were all allocated by Jiangnan to the field hospital, so Xu Rui really couldn't bring out the vodka to entertain Cherev now.
Cherev had no choice but to accept the boiling water in a dull voice.
When Cherev's body warmed up and his face returned to ruddy color, Xu Rui asked: "Cherev, is it Comrade Stalin who asked you to report to me the status of the Great Patriotic War again?"
"Isn't it?" Speaking of the Patriotic War, Cherev's face immediately darkened.
Then, Cherev called the adjutant over, took out a stack of documents from the adjutant's shoulder bag, handed them all to Xu Rui, and said: "The latest battle reports about the Patriotic War are all here.
To be honest, the situation in our Soviet Union is very bad right now, Moscow is about to be surrounded by German troops!"
Xu Rui didn't say anything, he just called Du Junjie, Chen Xuedong and other regimental staff officers, and asked Zhuoligetu to take out the topographic map of the Soviet Patriotic War, and then marked the latest progress of the Patriotic War on the map.
On the way, seeing that Du Junjie and the others were short of manpower, Cherev and his adjutant also joined in to help.
After a while, all the homework on the map was completed. Looking at the combat map, Xu Rui sighed.
Because his butterfly flapped its wings, the German army launched an attack on the Soviet Union nine months in advance. As a result, the Soviet Union's Patriotic War situation was much worse than in history!
Historically, the German army achieved unimaginable results in the first three months of the Blitzkrieg. More than five million Soviet Red Army troops were annihilated! The Soviet Union was once beaten to the point of exhaustion of its troops! The Battle of Stalingrad reached its climax.
At the critical moment, Stalin discovered that he had no troops left in his hands!
But in the end, none of the three tactical goals set by the head of state before the war were achieved!
Army Group North failed to capture Leningrad, Army Group Center failed to capture Moscow, and Army Group South failed to capture Transcaucasus.
Then winter came and the German army suffered a disastrous defeat!
But now, Xu Rui flapped his butterfly wings, causing the German army to launch a war against the Soviet Union nine months in advance. Because it was already the end of September when the war started, and winter would soon enter, the German logistics department had stocked up on a large amount of overwintering supplies, and also had
Transportation capacity was prepared in advance, and before winter began, various wintering supplies such as cotton coats were continuously delivered to the front line.
