"Order the Fourth Army and the Twentieth Army to launch an attack on all fronts and contain the Japanese army!" Xue Yue picked up the phone and said. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Yes!"

After receiving a clear order, the Fourth Army and the Twentieth Army launched an offensive on all fronts and began to attack the Japanese flanks. With the addition of heavy troops from the two armies, the Japanese army also had to divide its troops to support the past, and the original two divisions were transferred one after another, and the battle lasted for half a day, and in the end there was only one division left.

However, the arrogance of the Japanese army cannot be changed, the front is an army, and they have a division of 30,000 people, so the Japanese army still did not give up crossing the river, but continued to increase its strength, mobilizing artillery to bombard the 58th Army on the other side of the river, the two sides fought fiercely for a whole day, until after dark, the Japanese army's many attacks were repulsed, and Lu Daoyuan did not find a chance for a full-scale attack, and the two sides finally died down after dark.

"The order goes down, the whole army spends up cooking, and orders the soldiers to get ready after dinner!"

"Yes!"

"Order the 31st Regiment to bring three days of dry rations and take advantage of the night detour to six kilometers upstream of Yuanshui, be sure to cross Yuanshui at 12 o'clock tonight, and directly attack the depth of the Japanese army in a roundabout way!"

"Yes"!

"Order, the thirty-third regiment and the thirty-second regiment will quickly cross the river and launch a diversion attack from the south side after they are deployed!"

"Yes!"

"After the 29th Regiment crossed the river with the 33rd Regiment, it followed to support the 32nd Regiment!"

"Yes!"

"Order down, the 28th Regiment and the 30th Regiment speed up and move closer, be sure to arrive at Yuanshui after dawn, and launch an attack, if there is a delay in arriving and delaying the military situation, all military law will be involved!"

"Yes!"

Lu Daoyuan quickly issued the order to all regiments and units, and the battle did not stop because it was dark, but because it was dark, it was unfolding at once, and under the cover of night and the laxity of the Japanese army, they were ready to launch a large-scale offensive.

After the order was issued, Lu Daoyuan also quickly reported the attack plan to Xue Yue, and Xue Yue breathed a sigh of relief, in fact, he was very angry at the retreat of the 58th Army, saying that he was cowardly and fled, and let the new 11th Division hold on for a few days and the reinforcements arrived.

However, as the supreme commander of the Ninth Theater of Operations, Xue Yue is very clear that the combat effectiveness of various units is uneven, and there are also some units that eat empty salaries, in this case, the combat effectiveness of many troops is naturally not much better, so for these elite troops, it is natural to use them reasonably, rather than fighting with the Japanese army, such a lesson has been confirmed in the Battle of Songhu.

Xue Yue roughly thought about the situation Lu Daoyuan said, Lu Daoyuan said with a solemn face: "Thank you Chief Xue for your understanding, since this battle fell into the hands of my 58th Army, then this battle will definitely be successful, otherwise no one in my 58th Army will surrender to survive, I will make a military order in this battle, if you can't beat Changde, you will shoot me!" ”

"We believe in the combat effectiveness of the 58th Army, and I will wait for the good news of Commander Lu in this battle!" Xue Yue said with relief.

"Yes!"

After two days of fighting, the attrition of the 31st Regiment has also reached more than 400 people, and there are still 2,000 people who participated in the attack this time, but it is also extremely difficult to cross the Yuanshui River to carry out a surprise attack without the Japanese army noticing, so it must be deployed and coordinated, so as to ensure that the troops will coordinate with each other and no accidents will occur.

"Order to go down, the capture team will abandon all the original plans, look for the nearest water area with no Japanese activities along the upper reaches of the Yuanshui, and cover the soldiers of our regiment to cross the river!"

"Yes!"

"The first battalion is still the first to cross the river as a vanguard, and after crossing the river, quickly occupy the front line to cover the follow-up troops to cross the river, and after the second battalion and the third battalion cross the river, you and the second battalion cooperate to bypass the Japanese garrison under the leadership of the capture team, and go straight into their depth!"

"Yes!"

"The second battalion and the third battalion crossed the river at the same time, and the fourth battalion crossed the river with me at the end, and all the soldiers of the regiment must cross the river at 12 o'clock tonight.

"Yes!"

"Report to the head of the regiment, dry food and ammunition are ready!"

"Order, quickly disassemble the three battle defense guns, even if they are carried by soldiers, carry them to me!"

"Yes!"

"Order all units to load up with dry rations and ammunition and set off in half an hour!"

"Yes!"

Half an hour later, Lu Hai led the whole regiment of soldiers to go out from the upper reaches along the mountain road, and Lu Daoyuan, who learned that Lu Hai had set off, ordered: "Pass the order, gather all the artillery, and launch an attack on time at ten o'clock this evening!" ”

"Yes!"

After the order was issued, Lu Daoyuan did it, picked up the steamed buns and ate the pickles...

On the other side, Mu Yuanliang's more than 100 soldiers had already found a gap in the upper river that was not defended by the Japanese army, but the deviation here was two kilometers more, and after learning the situation, Lu Hai hurriedly ordered: "Order the troops, run forward, you must be in front!" ”

After the order was issued, all the troops accelerated their march, and a large number of soldiers began to run, and at the same time, Mu Yuanliang ordered: "One platoon, disperse the guard, we must not let the Japanese army find out that we are crossing the river from here!" ”

"Yes!"

"The rest of the people are drawn out of the water and swam over to set up a rope bridge!"

"Yes!"

Soon a few soldiers began to undress, and soon a few soldiers tied a bundle of rope to the waists of some water-based soldiers, and these soldiers began to enter the water, at this time the temperature was already in the middle of winter, and the temperature was already minus seven or eight degrees, but these soldiers could only swim through the biting river. Lu Hai's whole regiment naturally could not carry a large number of tools to cross the river, so they could only erect more rope bridges, so that a large number of soldiers could be transported over when necessary, although the process was not comfortable, but there was no way.

An hour later, Zhao Jianying, who was the vanguard, had already reached the front line, and several soldiers were already waiting on the opposite side.

But seeing that the river was shrouded in a thin layer of weapons, and he couldn't see the target clearly, Zhao Jianying looked at it and ordered: "Order, there are hovercraft to cross the river quickly, leaving a company of soldiers to cut trees and build a raft, the speed should be fast!" ”

"Yes!"

Soon these soldiers began to work, although the situation was special, but fortunately, there were preparations in advance, and there were many people and trees, and after a series of successful river crossings, more than a dozen rafts were directly made.

Immediately afterwards, the second battalion and the third battalion also arrived one after another, and then the various departments successively launched a forced crossing, crossing the river, and building rafts, which were also spectacular, and this place was far away from the Japanese army and was not discovered by the Japanese army.

Half an hour later, a battalion of soldiers had all crossed the river, and there were more than 100 rubber boats on the river, a raft could hold a dozen soldiers, and a rubber boat could hold seven or eight soldiers.

Another half an hour passed, and except for the three battalions of baggage, which had successfully crossed the river, the rest of the soldiers also began to transport the disassembled heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft guns, and boxes of grenades.

At this time, the first battalion and the second battalion had already divided into two routes, and under the leadership of Mu Yuanliang's capture team, they bypassed some places where there were Japanese troops and launched a roundabout interspersed in the rear of the Japanese army.

Then the third battalion and Lu Hai personally led the fourth battalion to advance in an all-round way, time was flying, Lu Hai and they also traveled five or six kilometers, and at this time, Lu Daoyuan picked up the phone and said: "Order the artillery attack to begin!" ”

"Yes!"

As soon as the words fell, a heavy artillery battalion of the 58th Army, two mountain artillery battalions and hundreds of mortars fired at the Japanese position, and the Japanese position suddenly exploded and roared, and these artillery also shot extremely accurately, because before this, Lu Daoyuan sent troops to investigate, plus Mu Yuanliang's capture team, most of the Japanese army's firepower points have been quietly locked by the artillery, and the temperature is lower after dark, most of the Japanese soldiers are on the position.

You can't make a fire on the position, the Japanese army doesn't know it, but the Japanese army has always been arrogant, they beat you for a day during the day, and now it's your blessing that we don't fight you, and now they still want to fight us, isn't it looking for death?

Under such a mentality, there were also a lot of fires on the Japanese position, and many Japanese soldiers surrounded the firewood to keep warm, so they naturally became the target of artillery under such circumstances.

Sure enough, just as the cannon sounded, the flames in many of the heating places became even louder, and the cold weather turned into the flames of revenge that burned everything, and the cold steel turned into crimson shrapnel.

In the roar, but seeing the flames rushing to the sky, many Japanese soldiers who were scattered and fleeing for their lives were violently bombed, groups of soldiers were blown to pieces, and a large number of soldiers were blown up, with broken arms and legs, and even half of their heads were blown up.

At this time, Li Jian put down his binoculars and said, "Order, the first battalion and the second battalion quickly cross the river!" ”

"Yes!"

After the order was issued, Li Juan's two battalions quickly boarded the boat and began to force the crossing, and at this time, the Japanese front line had been completely suppressed by the fierce artillery fire, and did not encounter too strong resistance along the way, just when the soldiers of the first battalion began to land, Li Jian hurriedly ordered: "Artillery extended fire, cover the infantry charge, three battalions and four battalions quickly cross the river!" ”

"Yes!"

At the same time, the Fourth Army and the Twentieth Army also launched attacks on all fronts, a regiment of the Fourth Army also began to force the crossing under the cover of artillery, and the Twentieth Army also launched an attack on the Japanese army.

Half an hour later, the forward positions were occupied one after another, and the subsequent 33rd Regiment also hurriedly launched an attack and continued to cross the river, while at the same time the two regiments of the New 10th Division also quickly approached.

Strategy is different from war, strategy is planning in the background, but tactics are surprise and race against time, from this point of view, the tactics of the 58th Army are successful, at least they have been strong and successful, as for whether they will be driven back, it depends on the speed of your advance.
