Chapter 548 Far East 88th Independent Infantry Brigade
Early the next morning, Wang Meng received the battle plan submitted by Wang Huaibao.
They further refined the order announced by Wang Meng and formulated the order of handover with the mobile division or mobile regiment selected by Zhao Gang.
"Okay, I'll send it to Political Commissar Zhao right away, and you guys prepare according to this plan first!"
"Yes!"
After Wang Meng sent the battle plan to Zhao Gang, he went to Li Yunlong's tent.
Seeing that Li Yunlong was sleeping soundly, Wang Meng woke him up.
"Lao Li, let's drink!"
When he heard about drinking, Li Yunlong, who had been snoring just now, sat up straight as if he had come back to life.
"Where, where to drink!"
When I took the wine, I didn't see anything, but I saw Wang Meng's big face.
"Hey, did Lao Li feel comfortable after drinking yesterday? It's time to work today, right? This is the battle plan submitted by Wang Huaibao. I think there is no problem. Can you take a look at it?"
Li Yunlong took the battle plan unhappily and took a look at it.
"Well, it's good. Wang Huaibao has made progress!
However, I still have to remind you that the Mongolian army is mostly cavalry. They are fast and have a natural suppression on infantry. We must ensure that our infantry is not exposed to their sabers.
In addition, they escape very quickly. If they hide in the herdsmen’s homes or return to their own tents, we really won’t be able to find them.
Let Lao Zhao think of a way to not let any fish slip through the net, so as to avoid leaving a tail behind later!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, Lao Li, the more other people drink, the more confused they become, but I didn't expect you to become more sober the more you drink!"
"Stop giving me all that nonsense. What's the situation now?"
"Hey, all the troops are deploying. The three artillery brigades organized by Wang Huaibao have also been incorporated into the three armies of the First Army. It is expected that they will be ready tonight. At 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, all the troops will launch the attack!"
"Very good! Let's work harder and try to resolve the battle quickly!"
The First Army of the First Group Army was stationed in Baotou.
The 101st Armored Division moved directly from Baotou to Bayannur, 250 kilometers away, and then headed straight for Wuhai.
The 102nd Armored Division deployed itself northward in echelons by regiment, then pushed westward like a comb to join the 101st Armored Division in the west.
The 103rd Infantry Brigade annihilated the puppet Mongolian army in Dalat Banner, south of Baotou.
Hohhot, where the Second Army of the First Group Army is stationed, is only 100 kilometers away from Siwangzi Banner, and the armored forces can reach the target in three hours at most.
According to Zhang Dabiao's plan, the 104th Armored Division and the 105th Armored Division captured Wuchuan, and then divided their troops in Wuchuan County and deployed from the left and right wings, pressing towards the Siwangzi Banner in a C shape.
The 104th Armored Division radiated to the Darhan Maoming'an United Banner, captured Bailingmiao, and then maneuvered eastward.
The 105th Armored Division dispersed to the right middle banner of Chahar and encircled the enemy to the west.
The 106th Infantry Brigade moved directly northward from Wuchuan and headed straight for the capital of the Siwangzi Banner.
After the 104th Armored Division, the 105th Armored Division and the 106th Infantry Brigade joined forces, they continued to advance northeast along Sunite Right Banner.
The Third Army of the First Army will advance directly eastward from Ulanqab.
The 107th Armored Division attacked Zhangbei and threatened Zhangjiakou.
The 108th Armored Division attacked Chifeng via Huade and Zhengxiangbai Banner, and waited for an opportunity to attack Xing'an League and Qiqihar.
Wang Meng sorted out his thoughts and realized that if they really attacked Daxinganling, it would be easy for the Japanese to cut off their retreat.
Moreover, it is very cold there, and people cannot stand it, and the weapons and equipment are also likely to break down.
"Lao Li, I think we should form another team in the Northeast."
"Oh? What do you say?"
"If we have a team in the Northeast, we can control the northeast corner of Inner Mongolia, and when we counterattack the Northeast, we can also cooperate with the outside world!"
Li Yunlong nodded. If there was a team in the Northeast, things would be much easier. After all, it was like planting a nail in the Northeast!
Wang Meng set his target on the famous Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army.
At this time, the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army had all crossed the border and sought refuge in Country E after suffering ruthless persecution from the Japanese invaders.
The commander of this group of Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army was Zhou Baozhong.
After experiencing the difficulties of the Japanese invasion, betrayal by traitors, and freezing cold, the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army suffered heavy losses.
In order to preserve its strength, and in order to allow China to contain the Japanese Kwantung Army, Country E allowed Zhou Baozhong to take the remaining several hundred guerrillas to Country E.
Zhou Baozhong negotiated with representatives of Country E many times, and the representatives of Country E generously promised to provide supplies, weapons, and provisions, but in the end these basically remained only on paper.
At the same time, Zhou Baozhong had lost contact with the headquarters, and in order to use Zhou Baozhong's troops, Country E deliberately hid this unit to prevent Zhou Baozhong from contacting the headquarters.
Finally in 1942, the more than 300 people led by Zhou Baozhong were organized into a brigade, the 88th Teaching Brigade of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, also known as the 88th Independent Infantry Brigade of the Soviet Far Eastern Red Flag Front.
In addition to 88 Chinese and Koreans, the 380th Training Brigade also had 50 officers and soldiers from Country E and more than 70 defected puppet Manchukuo soldiers.
These 500 people were organized into four infantry battalions, one communications battalion, and one mortar company.
Since the establishment of the teaching brigade, the troops have entered the training stage.
Under the guidance of the military instructors of Country E, with reference to the "Infantry Training Outline" of the Country E Army, combined with wartime needs and the actual situation of the Northeast Anti-Japanese War, modern and special military skills training was carried out in a planned manner.
Its training subjects include the conventional infantry shooting, bombing, and assassination, as well as special military skills such as radio communications, blasting, unarmed combat, armed swimming, skiing, airborne (parachuting), car and motorcycle driving, map reading, drawing, military terrain, photography, picnicking, battlefield rescue, reconnaissance, vigilance, erecting barbed wire, and infantry squad and platoon attack and defense.
Every winter, we conduct field training in the form of skiing, and complete various subjects along the way, such as combat formation, combat alert, encounter combat and other training.
During military training, Zhou Baozhong placed special emphasis on shooting. He required every officer and fighter to become a sharpshooter, because under the current war conditions, shooting is still the most effective means to eliminate the enemy.
All training courses provide guarantees for the dispatch of small units back to the Northeast for military reconnaissance.
As of now, the 88th Infantry Brigade has become an independent combat unit that can independently command battalion and company operations.
However, Wang Meng is now considering how to pull back the ready-made 88th Infantry Brigade.
"Mengzi, we used to deal a lot with Country E, but now it's relatively less. I think we should use the old trick and use penicillin to attack them!"
“Well, they did come to me to ask for penicillin before, but they were not prepared to pay for it. They talked to me about their ideals and beliefs, so I gave them a total of 20 bottles and sent them away.
Now that they have suffered heavy casualties, perhaps now is a good time!"
