Chapter 291: Changchun Offensive and Defensive Battle Outside the Circle (1)
When Lin Junxiong rushed back to the headquarters, Lin Junxia sat obediently, she knew that Lin Junxiong would be very unhappy to see her, the last time she was in Shuri Castle, she secretly ran over, but she was besieged, and she died once. When she was in Lotus Mountain, Lin Junxiong once told her that the war was a man's business, and women could participate, but only to support in the rear.
"Jun, I heard them say in private that Changchun is the most dangerous in this battle, I don't want to worry about it in the rear, I want to fight side by side with you, if Changchun enters a protracted war, our logistics hospital will play a great role, don't be angry, okay?"
Lin Junxiong looked at Chu Chu's poor lover, who was still angry just now, and it dissipated in an instant, he walked over and hugged his lover: "Jun, you are all the mothers of children, and you can't change your willful temper, what do you want me to say to you, I can't bear the loss of Shuri Castle anymore, you know?" ”
Lin Junxia nodded, leaned her head on Lin Junxiong's arms, she understood the man's love and enjoyed his distress, "Jun, don't worry, I won't be willful, I will stay in the inner city obediently and take care of the wounded with the comrades in the logistics hospital, you must not be distracted by me, I am waiting for the news of your victory, and we will fight with you to defend Changchun!" ”
Lin Junxiong stroked his lover's hair and said softly: "Jun, wait for us in the inner city, don't worry, your man doesn't like to fight a protracted war with devils, and the defense of Changchun will not become a protracted war, and it will be over in half a month at most." ”
"I believe my man is the best."
"In the past few years, you and I have been running around, you have worked hard, and when the war is over, we will go back to Ryukyu together, find a beautiful island to live on, and enjoy a peaceful life."
"Well, a peaceful life is more exciting than a thrilling experience, I believe that day will not be too far away, my man, for me and Eun-hee and Mother, protect yourself."
The Circle Formation is characterized by the ability of each unit to march independently and support each other. In particular, the left and right armies, located in the positions of the two flanks, in which the troops were able to move freely to any position on the battlefield and played an important role in supporting the troops.
The ingenious layout of the outer and inner circles lies in the fact that the artillery and artillery are arranged in the middle, and one regiment on each flank is used as a mobile force to wait for the opportunity to attack the enemy who is disrupted by the artillery fire, and there is also a unit in the front and rear, ready to attack at any time, and give the devils a fatal blow when the left and right flanks are in a stalemate with the devils.
The subtlety of the outer circle and the inner circle is that the circular arrangement of the front and rear left and right can be changed at any time, and the four troops of the front and rear and left and right can become the main attack force with the change of formation, and there are more than ten cannons arranged in each army, and after the first round of shelling, all of them are withdrawn to the middle, forming an arch defense trend for the main artillery array.
On November 22, Lin Junxiong learned that Umezu Mijiro was less than three days away from Changchun with 14 divisions, Lin Junxiong was still a little worried in his heart, plus the four divisions besieging Lianhua Mountain, soon 17 Japanese divisions would be gathered near Changchun, and the New First Army only had three columns around Changchun, could the 6th Column hold out in Changchun for 6 days? Can the First Column and the Garrison Command wipe out the four divisions around Lianhua Mountain within six days and come in time to relieve the siege of Changchun?
Lin Junxiong thought about it for a long time, ordered Fang Yun's column to attack with all his strength, and then showed the enemy to be weak, leading the devils to two kilometers away from the Lotus Eighteen Fortress southeast of the Nine Forts, and then laid out the layout to prepare for the total annihilation of the devils.
At the same time, Lin Junxiong ordered Zeng Lingshan to divide into two and attack the two divisions of Tojoyan from the left and right sides, so as to have a chance to lead the devils to two kilometers away from Jiubao on both sides of the northwest.
Yukio Kasahara was trying to maintain a stalemate with the new 1st Army in front of him, and he was thrilled to hear that Umezu Mijiro was about to arrive with 14 divisions.
On the afternoon of November 23, Yukio Kasawara thought that it would be the same as usual, and the two sides fired at each other for a while before Naruto retreated, and he was sitting at the command post looking at the map, thinking about the weak points of the new 1st Army's defense in front of him, and thinking about how to break through the opposite defense after the reinforcements arrived.
"Your Excellency, the new army on the opposite side took advantage of our unpreparedness and launched an attack with all its might, and our forward position had already retreated a few miles in less than a quarter of an hour."
Yukio Kasawara looked at the officer who came to report in surprise, and after a while he came back to his senses and said angrily: "Yaga, immediately order the troops to counterattack with all their might, and this force must not be allowed to rush out, so that His Excellency the commander's nest suppression operation failed." ”
"Hey!" The officer immediately went out to convey the order.
Under the counterattack of the devil regardless of sacrifice, Zheng Ming led the 101st Division to fight and retreat, and Kasahara Yukio's troops stopped after chasing ten miles, not that he didn't want to continue the pursuit, but that his two divisions had lost more than half of the battles with the New First Army on the opposite side for so many days, and if he continued to pursue rashly, he would not fall into the trap, and before he could wait for the arrival of reinforcements, he would be wiped out first.
However, Kasawara Yukio was also glad to be able to continue to suppress the new army on the opposite side at Lotus Mountain, and only hoped that the other party would stop attacking and that it would continue in harmony.
Kasawara Yukio finally settled down, but Tojo Iwa was distressed, he ordered his two divisions to be close together, the troops on the opposite side seemed to be afraid of the strength of their two divisions, and only dared to harass on the periphery, Tojo Iwa calmly responded, although the soldiers had casualties, but it was impossible for the other party to destroy their own troops, as long as they held on, the turnaround was coming.
The two sides were attacked at the same time again, and Tojo Iwa thought it was another small force attack of the New First Army, but it was not until the attack lasted for a while that the heavy artillery fire on both sides brought him to his senses, and he did not order his troops to counterattack, but asked his troops to immediately retreat to the defenses laid by Toho County.
Zeng Lingshan was very helpless, this Tojo Rock was too careful, no matter how he lured him in the past ten days, even if he really only sent a small force to attack, Tojo Rock just didn't fall for it, and he didn't pay attention to it at all, let alone be provoked and chased after him.
Zeng Lingshan had no way to complete the lure of Dongtiaoyan's troops to the northwest nine forts of the eighteen fortresses of Lianhua Mountain, and he did not dare to attack Dongfeng County, so he had to withdraw his troops to the northwest of Lianhua Mountain 30 kilometers to deploy defenses, and reported the battle with Dongtiaoyan to Lin Junxiong.
Fang Yun and the 102nd Division successfully went around the back of Kasahara Yukio's troops, and the 101st Division attacked back and forth, and it was not difficult to eliminate Kasahara Yukio's troops, but why didn't Lin Junxiong order to eliminate them in one fell swoop? Fang Yun was puzzled for a long time, until he learned that Umezu Mijiro was coming to Changchun with fourteen divisions, Fang Yun finally realized that Lin Junxiong was going to make a big move in Changchun, and Yukio Kasahara would soon turn from an attacking force to a bait, but he didn't know how many devils' troops were lured.
Lin Junxiong took the battle reports from all over Lotus Mountain, and the first column went very smoothly, but Zeng Lingshan was very unhappy, not only failed to lure Tojo Yan's troops deep into Lotus Mountain, but ran far away to Dongfeng County to hold on, as if the attack on Lotus Mountain had nothing to do with him.
"Tojo Iwa has become too calm, and Reiyama has already done a good job, but when he encounters this old fox who has done a lot of things, it is estimated that it is difficult to think of any good way. In this way, the garrison headquarters of Reiyama was contained, and it was estimated that Tojo Iwa would continue to attack only when the large army arrived. Lin Junxiong shook his head and sighed.
Feng Zhansong frowned deeply, although his column used the Double Dragon Ghost Array to deal a heavy blow to Tojo Rock, but he didn't expect that defeat to make Tojo Rock calm down, not as greedy as Chang Ri, not as pretentious as in the past.
"Commander, isn't Lao Diao's Fifth Column fifty kilometers west of Dongfeng County? Is it considered that Lao Diao should send a division to assist Lingshan and wipe out Tojoiwa's troops, otherwise in the subsequent battle, Lingshan's garrison headquarters will be pinned down, and our already insufficient forces will be even more stretched. ”
Lin Junxiong smiled and shook his head, "No, the war is together, Lao Diao has to face the impact of many devils in the direction of Fengtian, it is better not to disperse his forces, besides, a calm commander commands the defensive battle, we can't take any advantage." ”
After Lin Junxiong finished speaking, he turned his head and said to Wang Biao: "Send electricity to Lingshan, you don't need to waste time in Dongfeng County and Dongtiaoyan, let him lead the troops back to the Eighteen Fortresses of Lotus Mountain and the Northwest Nine Fort to set up defenses, even if Dongtiaoyan is not fooled, there will be other devils sent to their mouths soon, I want to see how long Dongtiaoyan can shrink and defend like this, do you want to hide until we finish the Changchun War and besiege him?" ”
Feng Zhansong saw that Lin Junxiong was still full of confidence in the face of the upcoming elite of the more than 200,000 Kwantung Army, and he was also full of confidence in the next battle of Changchun.
"Lao Feng, to tell the truth, in the first battle of pseudo-Tonghua, the devils are very scattered, coupled with the strong combat effectiveness of our army, it is slightly easier to annihilate the devils, and this time I have to face more than 200,000 devils in Changchun, such a large-scale elite of the Kwantung Army, I am still a little nervous, but more excited, as long as we win this battle, the recovery of the Northeast will become simple."
Feng Zhansong had just seen confidence in Lin Junxiong's expression, but at this moment, he saw that he was so honest with himself, and said with a smile: "Commander, are you worried that Changchun will not last long under the attack of more than 200,000 Kwantung Army?" The commander can rest assured that the Sixth Column is not a vegetarian and will definitely complete the commander's combat mission. ”
Lin Junxiong breathed a sigh of relief, "I believe that the brothers of the Sixth Column can fight this battle well, but this battle is very important, whether Lotus Mountain can defend and attack effectively, eliminate the attacking devils in a short time, rush to Changchun, and form a peripheral encirclement of the devils, this is one of them; The second is that I don't know how many troops Fengtian will send to Changchun, and whether the five columns can resist it; the third is whether the four verticals can form an oppression on Harbin and disturb the hearts of devils; The fourth is whether our defense in Changchun can withstand the attack of a large number of devils. ”
"The west is blocked and the east is disturbed, Changchun is defended, Lotus Mountain annihilates the enemy, Changchun is surrounded inside and outside, the commander is heavily arranged, after listening to your deployment, I am more confident in this battle, the northeast has changed the sky with the efforts of our new army, and the next thing is our all-out counteroffensive."
Lin Junxiong looked at the hazy Changchun and said, "The hazy Changchun is going to be dyed with blood!" ”
