Chapter 1382 Dongning Fortress

If the Eastern Maginot Line of Defense really played a good and positive role, then history may have to be rewritten.

Because of perfect protection, the devils can use the rich resources of the three northeastern provinces to provide them with a steady stream of raw materials for manufacturing large quantities of military supplies.

The well-developed railway network in Northeast China allows them to transport these materials to their front lines in time.

In any case, they need to retain control in the three northeastern provinces.

On the other hand, the Kwantung Army needs to use this as a fulcrum to establish a large rear base for northward advance, forming a perfect closed loop of industry and agriculture.

And with the support of industry and agriculture, maybe they don't have to rush to launch an offensive in Southeast Asia, maybe they won't rush to attack Pearl Harbor.

If there is no direct attack, maybe the ugly country can wait until a more favorable time before joining the war.

Of course, these are all possible, because the defense line of more than 1000 kilometers did not play much role.

The fortress groups support each other to form horns. They are closely arranged and have a dense firepower network, which has excellent advantages in ground combat.

However, all of this seems to have been cursed, and it was broken in just over 20 days.

The defense distance of the original Maginot Line was 390 kilometers, and the defense distance of this so-called "Oriental Maginot Line" reached more than 1000 kilometers.

The third phase of the project was not completed until 1945, when World War II ended.

Such a large-scale fortification requires an astonishing number of millions of laborers, and most of these laborers are captured Chinese people.

For the sake of secrecy, these enslaved people usually come from North China, and a few are prisoners of war from North Korea and Russia.

Oil tank trucks transported them into this unknown mountain in batches, but the vehicles that sent them out could not be seen.

The curse of 320 million people should make the devils unable to do anything.

Therefore, even though these fortress groups had extremely strong defenses, they still failed in the end.

And among these failures, Chen Wenzhe also saw some buried wealth.

These wealth are the people's fat and people's anointing of our country, and they naturally belong to us.

Chen Wenzhe couldn't be sure about the other things. What he could be sure of was a relatively famous fortress.

That is the Dongning Fortress. This section of fortifications is also part of the more than 1000-kilometer defense line.

It was built by the Kwantung Army in the deep mountains, and there are more than 30 ground turrets and underground facilities connected.

The cement on the wall of the fortress is as thick as 3 meters, which can withstand shells over 30cm and bombardment of 10 tons of heavy bombs.

The underground fortress is 10 to 50 meters above the ground, which is quite hidden and difficult to fight in depth.

Moreover, the fortress groups are connected to each other, and the strong defense is rare in the world.

Moreover, the Japanese army has a great advantage in terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Soviet army suffered heavy casualties in this battle.

Facing the heavy casualties of the army, the anger of the Soviet Red Army was aroused.

They concentrated the firepower of two divisions and 1669 cannons, and poured on the fortress together.

The fierce artillery fire and the bombardment lasted for 10 hours.

A raging fire ignited in the mountains, and the ground position of Dongning Fortress was finally destroyed.

The Japanese army could only move to the underground facilities of the fortress and attack the Soviet army from bunkers and shooting holes.

The Soviet army poured a large amount of gasoline and explosives into the entrances, exits, ventilation holes and other passages of the underground fortress, killing more than 1000 Japanese troops.

On August 1945, 8, the Emperor of Japan announced the unconditional surrender.

However, the previous large-scale artillery attack had already caused the Japanese army's communication facilities to be blown up, and communication was almost interrupted.

Therefore, from the only remaining radio, the Japanese army only heard the emperor ordering all Japanese soldiers to fight to the death, and would rather "break the jade".

Then the radio was also blown up by artillery fire. They didn't know the news of Nihong's unconditional surrender at noon that day, and they didn't know that they were the last army in the fortress group.

The "Oriental Maginot" thus became the last battleground of the Second World War.

Special attention needs to be paid here, the last fortification must have accumulated the most supplies, and there is a large amount of wealth that is too late to transport away.

And all of this was eventually buried inside by the Soviet Red Army.

On August 1945, 8, the Soviet army tried every means to deliver the unconditional surrender document to the Japanese army.

But the official who delivered the letter was shot and killed by Japanese death squads before he reached the fortress.

Qi Mu, the commander of the 783 Brigade of the fortress, and the officers agreed that this was an enemy conspiracy.

The Soviet army decided to take the form of siege and artillery attack to force the Japanese army to surrender.

The strong defense of the fort still prevented the Soviet army from entering the interior of the fort through the dense firepower net and annihilating the Japanese army.

The battle situation was a bit stalemate for a while, and the Soviet army was even destroyed by an artillery position by the Japanese Death Squadron.

In the early morning of August 1945, 8, the Third Command of the Kwantung Army was occupied by the Soviet Army.

The former logistics staff officer Kono Sadao was captured on the left, and was later taken by the Soviet army to the Shenghongshan Fortress in the Dongning Fortress Group to persuade the stubborn Japanese army to surrender.

At this time, the Soviet army had lost their patience. If Kono's persuasion to surrender was ineffective, they would use force to break through the fortress at all costs.

Qi Mu, who received the letter of surrender, was desperate, and finally agreed to surrender.

However, they will definitely not surrender honestly.

At that time, some secret materials were burned, some traditional Chinese medicine materials were hidden, and the passage was blown up.

The most frenzied thing for the Japanese soldiers guarding the fortress was to secretly execute the remaining 30 Chinese laborers.

Later, fearing that the women and children would be humiliated, they cruelly resorted to the method of "family suicide".

Mordekov, a veteran who witnessed the battle, recounted: "At noon that day, the remaining 783 officers and soldiers of the 900rd Battalion of the Japanese Army walked out of the fortress with a white flag, raised their hands and surrendered, followed by wounded and sick, and finally carried nearly A hundred corpses..."

So far, the "Oriental Maginot" line of defense has been completely broken, and it has become the last witness to the complete bankruptcy of Neon Wolf's ambition.

Why is the strategic role of a so-called "impenetrable line of defense" so limited?

从8月9日苏联对日宣战,到8月30日仅21天时间。

Compared with the original "Maginot Line of Defense", the "Oriental Maginot" has a longer defense line, a larger scale, and more complete facilities and equipment.

A metaphor can be used to explain why this kind of barrier defense will eventually fail, that is, even the strongest shield in the world has its own way to be broken.

During World War II, whether it was the defense lines in Asia or Europe, the famous ones were Fortress Atlantic and Stalin's Line of Defense.

Even the original "Maginot Line" failed to effectively stop the enemy's footsteps.

Even on the contrary, because they relied too much on the role of the defense line, they relaxed their vigilance strategically, which accelerated the defeat of the war.

The lack of corresponding mobility between the core fortresses on the defense line, and the failure to replenish them in time after losses are also the reasons why the defense line was breached.

Of course, the Japanese army sent most of its troops southward, leaving the fortress group short of troops, which was one of the reasons why the defense line was finally broken through.
