The Okazaki headquarters was completely wiped out, which was definitely a huge blow to the Kwantung Army headquarters.
Although Okazaki's headquarters is only a newly formed three-unit division, the garrison team that cooperates with the operation is even worse. On the surface, it is a brigade-level combat unit, but in fact there are only three infantry brigades plus There are a small number of technical units with a total strength of only more than 4,000, which can barely be regarded as a reinforced regiment. Therefore, the combat effectiveness of the entire unit is actually not high.
But after all, this is a small force of 30,000 people, and there is also a powerful tank force. It is a treasure in the eyes of the Kwantung Army headquarters. It is usually reluctant to use it. Unexpectedly, it was destroyed as soon as it was launched. Even the scumbag Nothing left.
What¡¯s more important is that the main force of the national army is rapidly approaching Jilin after solving Okazaki¡¯s headquarters.
At present, the total number of Jilin defenders is less than 5,000. Although ammunition and supplies are relatively sufficient, and the city defenses are relatively complete, it is still difficult to decide whether to defend or retreat.
For the Kwantung Army Headquarters, if it is to stick to Jilin, it must consider preparations to reinforce Jilin City.
At present, the strength of the Japanese army in southern Manchuria is already stretched thin, and it is impossible to mobilize more troops to reinforce Jilin in a short time.
But if Jilin City is abandoned, Xinjing and Fengtian will be completely exposed to the guns of the Chinese army, and the consequences will be more serious.
However, Yamada Otsuzo and others were still unwilling to give up Jilin City. The two 75th divisions immediately went south, via the railway from Xinjing, and then reinforced the Jilin front line.
In addition, the Kwantung Army Headquarters ordered the 111th Division stationed in Jinzhou to immediately go north to Xinjing.
The 71st Division fighting in the direction of Tumen also received orders to speed up and open the transportation line to Dunhua within two days, and then join the two divisions on the western front to attack the Chinese army in the direction of Jilin.
This time the Kwantung Army Headquarters spent a lot of money. Not only did they mobilize heavy troops from three divisions, but they also mobilized a mountain artillery regiment, a heavy artillery regiment and a tank brigade from Fengtian to participate in the battle.
As a result, the Japanese army deployed more than 50,000 troops in front of Lu Zhanwu's headquarters, 5 regiments of large-caliber artillery, and more than 200 tanks. This does not include the garrison of Jilin City. These people would be even stronger.
The purpose of Yamada Otozo and others is very simple. Now that they have reached this point, they can only make a desperate move. Otherwise, he really will not be able to explain to the base camp and all the people.
"What Yamada Yisan and others don't know is that this is the opportunity that Li Guoyao shines on.
Knowing that the Japanese troops in Harbin and Jinzhou were gathering, Li Guoyao did not disturb them. He knew very well that the Japanese troops gathering at this time must be to reinforce the hinterland, and their target must be Lu Zhanwu's headquarters.
But it doesn¡¯t matter. The purpose of operations in the hinterland is to create conditions for the troops on the outside. Moreover, after this period of operations, both Lu Zhanwu¡¯s and Wu Tiancheng¡¯s units have completed the established combat plans, and it is time to retire after success. .
At that moment, Li Guoyao issued a second-stage combat order to Lu Zhanwu's troops, requiring their main force to besiege Jilin City and at the same time set up defenses along the directions of Jilin, Dunhua, and Jiaohe, and hold back the main force of the Japanese army in the form of successive blockades. , if necessary, any city can be abandoned, and even all previously captured towns can be abandoned.
At the same time, Li Guoyao sent another telegram to Wu Tiancheng's headquarters, ordering them to strengthen their offensive on the northern front and continuously attack the Japanese and puppet town strongholds on the Mudanjiang front line, but they should pay attention to protecting themselves and muddying the water.
At the same time, Li Guoyao issued orders to the three military groups on the outside to prepare for an attack. Once the Japanese troops stationed in Jinzhou and Harbin reinforced Xinjing, Zhang Tengjiao and Zhou Qiang's troops immediately took action, seizing the front line of Qiqihar and infiltrating all the way. In Jinzhou, as for Zhou Dafu's troops, they secretly gathered in the middle of Rehe, waiting for an opportunity to seize Rehe.
On August 28, Li Guoyao received news that the Japanese troops in the direction of Harbin had moved south. However, they were attacked by guerrillas while passing through Fuyu, blowing up a very important railway bridge on the way, causing the military train to derail.
Although there were not many casualties, it forced the Japanese army to advance on foot, which greatly slowed down the Japanese army's move south and bought some time for Lu Zhanwu.
Immediately afterwards, intelligence personnel from Fengtian also sent news that Jinzhou troops had also gone north, and arrived at Fengtian Station at two o'clock in the morning on the 29th. After resting for half an hour, they continued northward, with their destination being Xinjing.
Sure enough, at noon on the 29th, the situation in the direction of XinjingEmergency news also came from the police. Xinjing Station was under martial law today, and then a large number of Japanese troops came out of the station. The number was shocking.
¡°Then these Japanese devils began to gather outside Xinjing City and headed towards Jilin City.
But at the same time that the Japanese army was reinforcing Jilin, Zhou Qiang's troops on the Naiman and Kulun lines were also ready to go south to Chaoyang and Fuxin. They were now waiting for the war to start in Jilin City. Once a fight started there, their side I can also take action.
At the same time, the situation of Zhang Tengjiao's troops on the northern line was similar. Tens of thousands of troops had penetrated deep into the eastern grasslands, heading north along Zhenlai County and heading towards the Zhalaite Banner.
Zhou Dafu's troops were relatively low-key. While troops from other directions were gathering, the third reorganized division under his command was broken into pieces and headed south from Chifeng toward Ningcheng, Jianping, Lingyuan and other places in the middle of Rehe. Perform penetration.
The other one is heading south from Harqin Banner, aiming directly at Chengde, the capital of Rehe Province!
All is ready except for the opportunity!
On August 31, the main force of the Japanese 111th Division arrived outside Jilin City.
At this time, the national army's attack on Jilin City had been going on for two and a half days. During these two and a half days of fighting, Lu Zhanwu's troops violently attacked Jilin City 24 times, using more than 200 artillery pieces. In addition to 120 Except for the heartless cannons, the rest are all mountain cannons and field cannons.
During the two and a half days of fighting, the Japanese and puppet troops in the city suffered heavy casualties, and even the western city wall was once destroyed. If the 111th Division had not received timely reinforcements, Jilin City might not have been able to hold on.
Even so, when the 111th Division entered the city, they found that out of the more than 5,000 defenders in the city, only about 1,200 were left, most of whom were still injured. Even the garrison commander of Jilin City The officer was also killed.
Subsequently, Lieutenant General Ota Kameji, commander of the 111th Division, took over as the garrison commander of Jilin City and commanded the troops to take over the city defense works of Jilin City.
After settling the city's defenses, Lieutenant General Ohta immediately ordered his troops, with the chariot brigade as the forerunner, to immediately launch a violent attack on the national troops on the east line of Jilin City. However, they were met with a powerful attack by Lu Zhanwu's troops. Fight back.
Although the scale of this battle is not very large, it is absolutely unprecedented in terms of intensity.
The Japanese army dispatched an infantry brigade, a tank brigade, and an artillery regiment. Lu Zhanwu's headquarters assembled 5 regiments of infantry on the Paolou Mountain and Changlingzi front lines, as well as 1 regiment of artillery. Plus an anti-tank regiment.
As soon as the battle began, both sides were furious. In the front were infantry and tanks attacking, while on the defenders' side, the infantry and the anti-tank regiment's rocket launchers and anti-tank guns were blocking the attack. Behind, the artillery from both sides was bombarding.
The artillery of the Japanese army was a mountain artillery regiment, and the artillery unit under Lu Zhanwu was also equipped with mountain artillery. One side had 36 guns, and the other side had 32 guns. The numbers were also similar.
It¡¯s a complete confrontation, no one will give in!
The battle started at around eight o'clock in the morning and lasted until eleven o'clock in the evening. The forward positions were repeatedly fought over and changed hands several times. Both the offensive and defensive sides suffered heavy casualties.
With no other choice, Lieutenant General Yasuda could only order the troops to suspend the attack and wait until dawn the next day before attacking again.
At the same time, Yasuda has also received a telegram from the Kwantung Army headquarters, stating that the 75th Division has also arrived at Gudianzi Town, west of Jilin, and is expected to arrive in Jilin City before ten o'clock tomorrow morning.
After seeing the combat effectiveness of the national army, Lieutenant General Yasuda, who originally wanted to monopolize the military exploits, gave up this plan and decided to join forces with the 75th Division to besiege the main force of the national army in front of him.
