Chapter 902 Dispatch troops to encircle and annihilate
After receiving Xue Boling's instructions, the Ministry of Communications immediately sent a telegram to the 9th Theater Command and the Supreme Military Council of the National Army.
Although Xue Boling was the commander of the Corps and the deputy commander of the 9th Theater, he had to report to the higher authorities to organize such a large military campaign.
Chief of Staff Wu Yuejin was worried, because the previous major battles were all due to the intervention of the commission, which resulted in the crushing defeat of the national troops.
Wu Yuejin walked up to Xue Boling, lowered his voice and said, "Brother Boling, what if the military committee doesn't approve this battle?" I mean, in case, and you know this person, I really don't dare to compliment him on his command ability to fight......
"My Chief of Staff, haven't you heard of a saying?" Xue Boling saw that the chief of staff was a little confused, and he said with a smile: "The general is outside, and the king's order is not ......."
"What Brother Boling said is extremely true, a good general will not be affected by the life of the monarch outside, hahaha!"
Wu Yuejin and Xue Boling suddenly laughed in front of everyone.
Xue Boling's report and request for instructions was just a routine matter, and his attitude was very resolute, regardless of whether the higher authorities approved this battle or not, this battle must be fought.
Anyway, he was the commander of the corps, and all the departments obeyed his command.
After about ten minutes, the military council called back.
The officer of the Ministry of Communications immediately took a telegram and delivered it to Xue Boling.
After reading the content of the telegram, Xue Boling said with a smile: "I'll just say, those people in the military committee are not all rice buckets, and the little devil is sent to the door alone, where is there any reason not to eat?" ”
Chief of Staff Wu Yuejin took the telegram from Xue Boling's hand and read it out in public: "Ladies and gentlemen, the Military Committee has agreed that our 1st Corps will organize this encirclement and annihilation war, and the commission has also made it clear that all weapons, ammunition and materials of the 1st Corps will be replenished as a priority, and he has also ordered the rest of the 9th Theater to cooperate with our 1st Corps to fight this battle well!" ”
After Wu Yuejin finished reading the contents of the telegram, he joked in front of everyone: "Everyone, our commission is starting to attract a little popularity, not to mention sending reinforcements to me, even if it is beneficial to replenish it, I will think about our 1st Corps first......"
"Hahaha......"
Everyone in the war room laughed.
Everyone laughed, and then the war room became serious again.
Under the instruction of Xue Boling, Li Hong got up and walked under the map.
He picked up his baton and pointed to a location on the map, and said lightly: "Commanders, according to the information provided by the reconnaissance unit of our regiment, the current Japanese 106th Division has marched to the Baiyun Mountain area. ”
"The terrain in the Baiyun Mountain area of Wanjialing is very dangerous, which is very suitable for ambush warfare, however, it is not easy to completely annihilate the 106th Division, but if there is a tactic of destroying the enemy, it depends on whether Chief Xue and the commanders dare to give it a go?"
On the way to the headquarters of the 1st Corps, Li Hong had already thought about how to design and annihilate the 106th Division of the Japanese Army.
"Li Hong, do you have any good tactics or suggestions, just say it." Xue Boling allowed Li Hong to continue.
Li Hong glanced at the commanders and said cautiously: "As the old saying goes, you can't give up the children and can't trap the wolves, I suggest that we deliberately expose the 106th Division to the enemy where the headquarters of the 1st Corps is located to attract devils, and when the little devil troops gather and gather in the dangerous terrain of Wanjialing, we are encircling and gathering and annihilating ......them."
"Using the headquarters of the 1st Corps as bait, luring the enemy deep into the pocket encirclement, and finally catching turtles in an urn, this tactic is really clever!" Chief of Staff Wu Yuejin very much agreed with Li Hong's proposal.
"Use a fake headquarters to trick the little devil into the trap, and then close the door and beat the dog, the tactics are really good!" Several generals nodded, all believing that Li Hong's battle plan was feasible.
"No, sir, not with a fake headquarters, but with a real headquarters to lure the enemy deeper." Li Hong saw that everyone was a little worried, and he immediately explained: "I have fought with the 106th Division of the Japanese Army a few times, and that old devil in Miura is very cunning, and the fake headquarters will definitely not be able to deceive him." If you want to deceive Miura, that old devil, you have to use the real headquarters......"
Some of the officers and generals in the war room agreed with Li Hong's adventure, while others disagreed.
Everyone talked a few times, and Chief of Staff Wu Yuejin coughed a few times, and said in a deep voice: "Chief Xue, all the chiefs." Although Regiment Commander Li's battle plan is a bit risky, it is indeed a good tactic to win and completely annihilate the enemy in the face of danger, and I fully agree with Commander Li. ”
With the statement of Chief of Staff Wu Yuejin, basically Li Hong's tactics will be adopted, but the final decision will depend on Xue Boling, the commander-in-chief of the corps.
Xue Boling is a general with courage and strategic vision, he thought for a while, and said cautiously: "Everyone, if you want to do it, you can win a big battle, a division of the Japanese army dares to go deep into our defense area alone, I have more than 100,000 people in my hands, I, Xue Boling, am afraid that he is a bird, and if he does not enter the tiger's den, he will get a tiger!" ”
Xue Boling and Wu Yuejin both agreed to Li Hong's battle plan, and everyone did not have any objections.
In accordance with Xue Boling's instructions, the Ministry of Communications deliberately misused the clear code to generate electricity, and revealed some important information to the Japanese army, including the location of the headquarters of the 1st Corps.
Of course, the little devil is not stupid, and if the location of the headquarters is exposed too obviously, the Japanese army will not be fooled.
How to fool the little devil is a matter for the communications department, and Xue Boling has already begun to deploy troops next.
The officers and generals walked to the edge of the map, and Li Hong stepped aside and handed the baton in his hand to Xue Boling.
Xue Boling looked at the map on the wall and carefully looked at the location of each department.
After thinking for a while, he ordered loudly: "Order, one brigade of the 66th Army, the 74th Army, the 187th Division, the 139th Division, the 91st Division, the new 13th Division, the new 15th Division, and the 142nd Division, the 60th Division, the 6th Reserve Division, the 19th Division, ......."
"After receiving the order, the above departments immediately assembled in the Baiyun Mountain area of Wanjialing, surrounded the 106th Division of the Japanese Army on all sides, and those who delayed the fighters were severely punished!"
The secretary and the officers and soldiers of the communications department next to him recorded Xue Boling's orders, and then they used telephone and telegrams to convey the combat orders to the ministries.
After the order of the headquarters of the 1st Corps was issued, all units received orders to prepare for departure as soon as possible, and in addition to the main attacking force, other units were also actively cooperating accordingly.
The commanders of the various departments did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and as soon as they gathered their troops, the troops from all walks of life moved towards the Wanjialing area at the same time.
This time, in order to successfully encircle and annihilate the 106th Division of the Japanese Army, Xue Boling transferred troops from Dexing Road, Nanxun Road, and Ruiwu Road, with a total number of more than 100,000 troops.
