Chapter 300: A column of 1 troops was reorganized and headed towards the Liaohe River
The fighting in the city was fierce. The Japanese still had strong resistance, but they were no match in a one-on-one situation. With the puppet army stabbing them in the back, they were even more unable to resist.
Zhang Dabiao personally led the team, and three main regiments rushed in from the city gate and quickly destroyed the manpower of the 23rd Division.
After rest and adjustment of weapons, the troops added 50mm mortars and semi-automatic rifles, as well as a batch of new PPSh submachine guns.
The team's firepower was fierce, and they launched an offensive rashly, killing the Japanese before they had time to organize a defense.
Fukutaro Nishiyama was killed in the explosion. Wang Tianheng's mortar operator was extremely lucky. A shell landed right on the roof of his house, and the collapsed roof buried him. Even if he was not killed in the explosion, he would have been crushed to death.
The Japanese, who had lost their commander, fought and retreated like headless flies without a backbone, and it was difficult to organize an effective counterattack.
Some wanted to retreat, some wanted to fight, and some were at a loss.
They fended off the Eighth Route Army's attack in a daze until the Third Column's artillery fire was deployed. The flare bullets in the night sky were particularly beautiful.
The densely falling shells dealt a heavy blow to the stubbornly resisting Japanese.
Heavy mortar shells bombarded the area, and a large number of Japanese soldiers fell to the ground, killed and injured by the shock wave of the explosion.
The tanks entered the city and coordinated with the infantry to charge. After destroying the Japanese's firepower points, they pushed forward again and again.
Every roar of the tank gun was accompanied by the sight of Japanese soldiers being blown to pieces.
Take Fuxin, take the 23rd Division. Small groups of Japanese troops evacuate towards Fengtian, and the baggage troops, search regiments, and field artillery regiments are swept away.
Zhang Dabiao sent a message to Ding Wei, saying that the situation in Fuxin was under control. The main force of the column surrounded the enemy from three sides and cleared out the remaining Japanese invaders.
No matter what type of division it is, it is equally vulnerable.
The morale, combat effectiveness and will to resist were far from enough. The crippled 23rd Division was not worthy of confronting Zhang Dabiao.
He rubbed his hands and took over the entire field artillery regiment of the Japanese with excitement.
Cars, artillery, motorcycles, and a large amount of supplies. Zhang Dabiao was the luckiest one, as he kept the most elite supplies and equipment of the 23rd Division.
The battle lasted for three days before it finally ended. The main force of the Third Column pressed into Fuxin from Chaoshi and connected the two places into a straight line.
The air was filled with smoke, and the Japanese and traitors were dealt with cleanly.
A large number of puppet troops and coolies forcibly conscripted by the devils were captured.
More than 300 cars were seized, including those from the Chamber of Commerce and traitors. These people who took advantage of the national crisis took the opportunity to plunder the people's wealth, and their property and assets were confiscated.
The city’s industrial equipment, infrastructure, power plants, etc. were all taken over by Zhang Dabiao.
The artillery regiment's 36 guns fell into the hands of the Third Column.
The Japanese Kwantung Army Headquarters was shocked and angry. They were shocked and angry at Ding Wei's inconsistency. Since they had signed a ceasefire agreement, why did he suddenly tear up the agreement and launch an offensive?
He was also angry at the puppet army, a group of ungrateful bastards who dared to turn their guns around.
Forced by the situation, when the devils were in power, the puppet army would definitely be willing to follow the emperor, and they would have no problem enjoying the good food and drink.
Now Ding Wei of the Sui-Re-Cha Military Region has gained the upper hand and has taken over all of Rehe. His troops have reached Liao, Shen and Heilongjiang. The Kwantung Army has a large number of garrison troops in the rear area, but few fortifications.
Once Ding Wei's entire army attacks, he can form a sandwich with the Far East Army.
Once Fuxin is lost, the headquarters of the Third Front Army will be in danger.
From here we can drive straight to Fengtian. With the tanks at full speed, we can reach the destination in three to five hours.
There is a Liao River running through this side, and they intend to take over the territory west of the river.
Ding Wei got excited when he saw the river. A river meant a bridge, so he would have to find trouble with the Liaohe Bridge, right?
The Third Column continued to advance. Zhang Dabiao was good at reorganization. He attached a temporary 2nd Division to the column and incorporated Wang Tianheng's troops into it.
The other captured puppet troops were also reorganized, and the battalion and company cadres and personnel were rearranged, and officers and soldiers were arranged to intervene and adjust military discipline. The reorganization was completed in just half a month.
The troops continued to be deployed near the Liaohe River. The field artillery regiment that had just been acquired became the direct firepower of the column and fired fiercely at the Japanese positions.
The captured shells and ammunition were used to launch a fierce attack.
Anyway, it’s captured ammunition. If there’s nothing left, just take it all out and use it in the fight.
Zhang Dabiao was a man of great recklessness and one of the warmongers in the team. It was not easy to get him to attack, but it was not enough to just take over Fuxin.
The Kwantung Army mobilized two divisions to reinforce the Dangliao River line and engage in a firefight with the Third Column.
The two sides set up simple fortifications on the plains and fought guns against guns and cannons against cannons.
The Japanese suddenly discovered that the firepower of their security division was far behind that of the enemy.
第三纵队算上刚刚缴获的36门野炮，还有榴弹炮营12门122毫米榴弹炮，多个山炮营72门山炮，重迫击炮营20门120毫米迫击炮。
Including infantry guns, mortars and the like, there are more than 200 artillery pieces.
The supporting firepower is very strong, and the combat effectiveness of the troops is needless to say.
In contrast, the combat effectiveness of the two security divisions of the Japanese enemy was only at the level of a Type D division, and many of them were newly transferred recruits.
Letting the Security Division stop Zhang Dabiao's column is just courting death.
The Japanese invaders in Heishan, Zhangwu, Xinmin, Panshan and other places were alarmed. They lacked fighting power and had to rely on their poor brains to make do.
These new recruits got carried away and rushed to their deaths under the fire from light and heavy machine guns.
The only unit that the Third Front Army could mobilize was the 23rd Division. After the destruction of this Type A division, the remaining Japs were really not worth mentioning.
As a last resort, the 9th Independent Tank Brigade from Tongliao was brought in to provide emergency assistance.
The Japanese in Fengtian, Siping and Xinjing were alarmed and rushed along the railway line to provide support near the Liaohe River.
A single move can have a ripple effect. Zhang Dabiao's column caused changes in the entire Third Front Army.
Hou Gongchun was deployed on the line from Xinjing to Dalian.
He had to thank the Liao River for forming a natural barrier.
The river hindered Zhang Dabiao's offensive. After pressing into several county towns, he did not rush forward in a wave.
Along the way, scattered puppet troops could be seen everywhere, some were captured, some were killed.
The artillery fire covered a large area, with shells coming one after another.
I'm afraid the Japanese can't hold on to the territory west of the Liaohe River.
At the same time, Jinzhou, Xingcheng and Suizhong are also in danger. Once the western part of the Liaohe River is cut off, these cities will become isolated.
The Eighth Route Army was everywhere in the mountains and plains. They quickly occupied Fuxin and captured the surrounding strongholds.
After the battles of all sizes were over, Zhang Dabiao reorganized the army into 5 people in one go, absorbing a large number of puppet Manchukuo troops and incorporating them into the army.
Trucks carried supplies continuously for several days.
Chaoshi, Fuxin, and the surrounding Beipiao, Yixian, Kulun, and Zhangwu all fell into the hands of Zhang Dabiao.
The Japanese mainly took a defensive approach and stationed troops along the Liaohe River. They were beaten so hard that they dared not show their heads.
The Third Front Army has two armies, the 44th Army and the 30th Army, with a total of 7 divisions.
But the 23rd Division, the 107th Division and the 63rd Division were all eaten up or driven away by Ding Wei.
The two sides formed a confrontation situation.
