Chapter 856: Focused Offense and Focused Defense
Lin Jinhong now has some contradictions in his heart, if nothing else, he should attack the 155 position, and if he wants to attack, when should he do it? To attack the 155 position, it is necessary to carry out a quick attack, and after the capture, it is absolutely impossible to stay longer, and the purpose of firing a shot to change places is to disrupt Bai Chengjiang's defense line in the rear, to contain the movement of defensive forces in the entire large front, so that the Fifth Army's offensive in other places can play a huge role. [Full text reading. However, in this way, his own unit could only exist as a guerrilla force, and the original plan to attack the enemy's main camp was in vain.
If you don't move to attack the 155 position, then you have to think about how to pass the 155 position, and when is the best time to pass through the 155 position? If these problems are not resolved, the purpose of the entire force will be unclear and morale will be low.
Lin Jinhong thought for a long time and discussed with the three adjutants for a while before finally deciding not to attack the 155 position for the time being and try to bypass the 155 position. Of course, if you can't pass through without knowing it, then there is only one way to attack, and the best time to pass through the 155 position at night, Lin Jinhong decided to find a way to pass through the 155 position at midnight that day, and he immediately ordered the troops to rest in place.
At about ten o'clock that night, the Fifth and Sixth Troops seemed to have reached a tacit understanding, and at the same time stopped the offensive and took a rest of the troops so that a new attack could be launched tomorrow morning. After a day of tossing, both the Fifth and Sixth Units were already quite tired, and such an exercise was no less than a real battle, and it naturally consumed a lot of energy.
While all the troops were resting, Lin Jinhong's unit bypassed the 155th position like a ghost and advanced towards the enemy's next position. After passing the 155 position, there is a flat river in front, and it is really not suitable for marching during the day, and it is very likely to be detected by the scouts of the opposing side. Therefore, Lin Jinhong did not stop after passing through the 155 position, and continued to order the troops to advance. The terrain was flat, and the fact that it had just passed through the 155th position and was still a long way to go before the next position made the march much faster. By dawn, Lin Jinhong's unit was about 20 kilometers away from the 155 position, and at the mouth of a dense forest, Lin Jinhong ordered the troops to rest for four hours before coming out.
It was already very close to the enemy's main camp, and Lin Jinhong's mind began to become active, and the feeling of blood boiling came to his heart from time to time. Although he didn't travel thousands of miles and fight the world, he felt that it was not bad in his heart. Drunk to pick up the lamp to look at the sword, dreaming back to blow the horn company camp. Eight hundred miles of moxibustion, fifty strings turned over the outside sound. Autumn soldiers on the battlefield.
In the early morning, the battle between the Fifth and Sixth Troops kicked off again, and in order to seize the opportunity, the Sixth Army broke through the defensive line of the Fifth Army one step ahead, and finally dispatched heavy troops, airdropped and ground armored battalions to advance. However, the airdrop was not successful in the end due to the interference of the fighters of the Fifth Army, but the armored battalion on the opposite side advanced smoothly, and at 6:42 the next day, it broke through the first defensive line of the 9th Fifth Army of the Fifth Army.
The left flank of the Fifth Army, led by Qiu Rong, also advanced to the next target again, but at that position, Qiu Rong finally encountered the artillery battalion of the Sixth Army, and suffered heavy casualties. The forces on the right also began to attack the right of the 5th Army of the 6th Army, which was thwarted and dragged two kilometers away from the 156 position. The two attacks were thwarted at the same time, but his first line of defense was broken by the enemy, and the situation was quite unfavorable for Shen Jiabing's fifth army. Shen Jiabing, who was sitting in the general command room of the Fifth Army, weighed again and again, and finally decided to abandon the attack on the right, and the troops on the right moved closer to the left, preparing to concentrate superior forces to attack the left and break through the defense on the left.
In order to realize his merger plan, Shen Jiabing dispatched a mechanized infantry battalion, which is the last trump card in Shen Jiabing's hands now. The main role of the mechanized infantry battalion was to retreat from the right flank and cut off the pursuers of the enemy's 156 positions. The longer the blockade, the more beneficial it would be for the 5th force. It can be said that this mechanized infantry battalion is a bait thrown by Shen Jiabing, and it is also a sacrifice, and Shen Jiabing has already made a desperate bet in order to join forces.
After receiving Shen Jiabing's order, the attacking troops on the right side of the Fifth Army began to prepare for retreat without hesitation, and as expected, the troops of the Fifth Army of the Sixth Army retreated for no reason, and after hesitating for a while, they began to pursue. However, before they could chase long distances, they were intercepted by the mechanized infantry battalion that had been ambushed in advance, and at the same time, the troops on the right side of the fifth army in front also turned around and killed for a while. The frightened pursuers thought that the other party deliberately withdrew its troops to lure them out of their positions as the enemy, and then took the opportunity to ambush and annihilate them. Seeing this, the pursuers gave up the pursuit for the time being.
Bai Chengjiang had a headache, and he didn't know what he should decide for a while, whether the other party was a plan to lure the enemy, or did he take the initiative to retreat back to the defense and carry out a front and rear attack plan, or did this army already have another important task? Bai Chengjiang discussed with everyone for a long time, but he couldn't come up with a reason, so he could only order the people of the reconnaissance company to strengthen the reconnaissance of this force.
More than half an hour later, Bai Chengjiang listened to the report and said that the opponent's right troops did not return to defense, but marched in the direction of the left road, and he only then understood what Shen Jiabing's idea was! Combine forces in one place and concentrate superior forces to attack. He immediately ordered the men of the 156th position to pursue, and at the same time ordered the forces of the right and center roads to gather to the left. Shen Jiabing carried out a superior attack, and Bai Chengjiang was going to come to a key defense. Because Bai Chengjiang also has transport planes and helicopters, he is quite confident in the movement of troops.
The mechanized infantry battalion of the 5th Army dragged on, was dragged for almost two hours near the right center, and paid a heavy price.
At this time, the left and right flank positions of the Fifth Force had converged, and the Sixth Force had also completed the deployment of troops because of the transport planes and helicopters, and had deployed heavy troops on the left flank. Bai Chengjiang was so confident in his airdrop that most of the positions on the right and middle sides became vacuum positions, and there was basically no defensive force.
In the military exercise hall of the Iron and Blood Club, Shen Zhenchuan, Bai Yan and others also got up early in the morning to continue watching the exercise, and they all stayed in the Iron and Blood Club last night.
