Chapter 784: Suspicion and Jealousy
After Su Xiaoyan explained to him the contents of the letter carried by the captured Japanese herald, Li Guiyong also felt that the 54th Regiment and the entire unit were indeed in extreme danger at this time, and not only asked nervously: "Tuanza, what should we do now?" ”
Lei Yunfeng was still using his brains to quickly lay out the new situation that had arisen, ignoring Captain Li Guiyong's inquiry.
After repeated scrutiny and analysis of the uncertain factors facing the troops, he believed that it was very likely that the 77 th Wing would suddenly launch the largest general attack on the 46 Brigade of the Western Route Army before dawn as originally planned.
Once the 46th Brigade did not receive the information that the Japanese army had launched a sudden general attack, it would inevitably be too prepared to suffer heavy losses.
If the commander of the 71st Brigade Takeda Hyo-ichi Brigade sent the Ikawa squadron, which reinforced the Sekiyama Hinaka Wing, to rush to the frontline positions before dawn to join the general attack, would the 46th Regiment still be able to hold its position in the face of a strong offensive by the enemy?
Taking a step back, if the Ikawa squadron heard the fierce gunfire coming from Gumoling and rushed to reinforcements nearby, it would not only increase the pressure on the 54th Regiment's main battlefield, but also affect the 54th Regiment's containment of the enemy's cover Fang Shichao's automobile transport team and safely pass through the blockade line where the enemy and us were intertwined with war.
What made Lei Yunfeng even more restless was that once the transport convoy was hit by the enemy's powerful artillery fire, a large number of weapons, ammunition, food and medicine, and important military supplies that had been transported and captured from the Japanese army's Qinshui Corps station would be destroyed by artillery fire.
All kinds of unfavorable factors plague Lei Yunfeng, and he must adjust the next action plan in the shortest possible time, and once he makes a mistake, he will lose everything.
After careful analysis, he resolutely ordered Li Guiyong to lead the 'Cheetah Commando' to rush to the front of the Ikawa squadron to set up an ambush as quickly as possible, and once the Japanese reinforcements quickly moved towards the Dongyuan Guanshan Feizhong Wing, they would implement fire blocking at all costs.
In order to disrupt the deployment of the Japanese army to launch a general offensive before dawn on the Dongyuan battlefield, it was necessary to immediately report to Commander Wei of the Zhongtiao Mountain West Route Army, and ask Commander Wei to order the headquarters of Brigade Commander Kong of the 46th Brigade as soon as possible to launch an attack before the enemy launched the dawn general attack, so as to disrupt the deployment of the Japanese army to launch a general attack.
As long as the 46th Brigade can contain the main force of the Japanese Army's Guanshan Feizhong Wing, Lei Yunfeng can make a big move in the enemy's rear, launch a front and rear flanking attack on the Guanshan Feizhong Wing, and destroy the enemy's important military deployment with the most fierce cannon fodder.
Lei Yunfeng said to Su Xiaoyan: "Set up a radio station immediately, send a report to Commander Wei of the Western Route Army according to my dictation, and if there is no call back within five minutes, send it again with the same content."
He ordered Wang Shouchun, the commander of the reconnaissance platoon, to send a cavalry to quickly convey the order to Liao Yingqiang, the acting commander of the 54th Regiment, ordering the 54th Regiment to abandon all its original combat deployments and launch the fiercest attack on the Noda squadron waiting for reinforcements at the foot of the mountain.
At this time, Commander Wei of the Western Route Army, who came out of the war room, stood at the door and breathed in the air with a strong smell of gunsmoke, sorting out all the counterattacks around Yongji against the Japanese army.
In his opinion, the most dangerous situation on the battlefield at this time is the Dongyuan position held by the 46th Brigade, once the Dongyuan position is lost, the Japanese army will drive straight into Yongji, and join the 102nd Brigade of the 71st Division attacking Yongji, and increase the attack on Yongji.
If Yongji is lost, it will directly endanger the safety of Fenglingdu.
Once Fenglingdu is lost, the Japanese army will strengthen military control over the Fenglingdu port and control the Fenglingdu port with the most intense firepower, which will affect the safety of the river surface three to five kilometers up and down the Yellow River.
If the Japanese army forcibly crosses the Yellow River, Tongguan, the frontline in the northwest, will inevitably be lost. 398
If Tongguan is lost, Xi'an will not be protected, once Xi'an is broken, the Japanese army will forcibly occupy the Qinling Mountains, and the safety of Chongqing, the capital of the mountain city, will soon fall completely.
Commander Wei knew the weight of the burden on his shoulders, and defending the Yellow River and Tongguan, and swearing to insist on the Yongji defense line from being broken by the Japanese army was the most critical battle of the Western Route Army at present.
"Commander, it's raining outside, it's past midnight now, why haven't you rested yet? This can't be done, just from forcibly crossing the Yellow River and recovering Yongji, Zhangjiazhuang, Fulai River and other places, you have not had a good rest, for the sake of your body or ....... ”
"Liming, what I'm most worried about now is the Dongyuan defense line held by the 46th Brigade Confucius, when I think of the Dongyuan battlefield, I feel anxious, how can I still have a little sleep? Even if you lie down, you can't sleep. ”
Chief of Staff Xu tore off the military windbreaker he was wearing, draped it on Commander Wei, and said in a heavy tone: "Big brother, the Dongyuan defense line is indeed in danger, once the Dongyuan defense line is lost, it will ...... the entire Yongji defense line." ”
"Report to Commander Wei, Lei Yunfeng is in a hurry." Su Peng, the director of telecommunications, shouted the report and handed a telegram to Commander Wei.
"How could this bastard send an urgent telegram at this time, wouldn't it be to lead the disabled 54th Regiment to be surrounded by Japanese troops behind enemy lines, and send a telegram asking for reinforcements, right?" Chief of Staff Xu Liming said sarcastically.
"Not good, the 54th Regiment led by Lei Yunfeng was attacked by a squadron of Japanese troops in Gumoling, in order to smoothly pass through the Japanese blockade line of the Dongyuan defense line between the enemy and us, I requested an order to order the 46th Brigade of the Confucius Department to launch a general attack on the Japanese Guanshan Feizhong Wing at 3:40 at dawn.
In order to cooperate with the 54th Regiment to launch a sudden sneak attack on the enemy behind the enemy, cover the 54th Regiment and other units through the Japanese blockade line. ”
"Hahaha, Commander Wei, I know that this little bastard Lei Yunfeng is a useless little white face, and now he is blocked by the Japanese army in the Japanese theater, and at this time he was bitten by the enemy and couldn't get out, so he actually asked the 46th Brigade of the Kong Department to take the initiative to attack the Guanshan Feizhong Wing, didn't this send the 46th Regiment into the tiger's mouth?"
Commander Wei read the telegram again and sorted out the three issues highlighted in the telegram: First, he cooperated with the 46th Brigade to launch a front and rear flanking attack on the Guanshan Wing behind enemy lines, disrupting the Japanese army's defense line on the Dongyuan front.
The second was to cover the 54th Regiment to break through the Japanese defense line in Dongyuan and return to the base camp.
The third was to use heavy firepower to launch an active attack on the Japanese army, forcing the Japanese army to abandon the Dongyuan defense line and retreat quickly, so that the transport convoy could safely pass through the Dongyuan defense line.
Although he still didn't fully know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of Leiyun Peak and how there would be a transport convoy, but behind the enemy's back, he cooperated with the Kongbu 46th Brigade to flank the Japanese Guanshan Wing in front and behind, although it was risky, it could not but be said to be a good move.
Commander Wei decisively issued an order, ordering the 46th Brigade of the Kong Department to launch the most fierce attack on the Guanshan Feizhong Wing of the Japanese Dongyuan Defense Line at 3:40 a.m., and actively cooperate with the 54th Regiment behind the enemy to launch a sneak attack on the enemy.
Lei Yunfeng was ordered to cooperate closely with the 46th Brigade of Kongbu at all costs, adopt the tactics of flanking the front and rear on the Dongyuan defense line, destroy the enemy's military camp, and force him to give up resistance and flee backwards with the greatest firepower.
Chief of Staff Xu Liming heard that Commander Wei actually believed in the risky military action proposed by the telegram sent by Lei Yunfeng, a bastard baby, and gave such a risky order, not only did he pull him and turn around and leave, but he was about to send a report to the chief of the telecommunications department who gave the order.
He shouted in a stern tone: "Director Su, please postpone the report." ”
