Chapter 348 Prepare to send troops
The amount of food and ammunition for the two armies is already very considerable.
If the material storage point in Xitang is captured by the Japanese army, the already tight supply of materials in the entire Ninth War Zone will be even worse.
When the time comes, let the palace organs send people to spread rumors about food, and the soldiers of the entire Ninth War Zone will likely collapse.
Moreover, such a large warehouse was also very important for the Japanese army.
When the time comes, her superiors will definitely reward her.
Chen Mingyun was overjoyed.
With the information, I immediately went to the palace agency to report it.
In Changsha, there was an intelligence group of the palace organ.
If Chen Mingyun has information, he will report it through this Japanese military intelligence team.
This time was no exception.
She didn't know that just behind her, a few people quietly followed.
After receiving the news, the palace authorities were greatly excited, and immediately reported the news to Anan Weiji by radio.
Anan Wei, who received the information, was very surprised, he didn't expect that the tiger boy's courage was so big.
actually put the supplies in the warehouse right under his nose.
No wonder he couldn't find it.
Awesome!
Who would have thought that the supply warehouse of the tiger cub was only a hundred kilometers away from the Nara detachment?
"Is this news reliable?" Anan was excited, but it was clear that he still had some doubts.
Tiger boy, will there be fraud?
The person in charge of the palace organ said: "Report to Your Excellency Commander, this news has been sent by our spy personnel lurking in the Tiger Boy Headquarters, and it is absolutely reliable. ”
Yes!
Anan nodded with satisfaction and said appreciatively, "Very good!" I didn't expect your work to be so good that you could enter the headquarters of Tiger Boy, and I am very pleased. If you can grab the tiger cub's warehouse in Xitang this time, your palace organ will be the first achievement! ”
"Thank you, Your Excellency, Commander!" The palace organs are also very proud.
This was the first major piece of information provided by their palace agency when General Anan came here.
If the tiger cub's material supply warehouse is destroyed, the opponent's combat effectiveness will be reduced by at least half.
Anan Weiji found the place of Xitang on the map and looked at it carefully.
His brow furrowed immediately.
He found that although Xitang was not very far from Linxiang, the road was not very easy to walk.
The whole route, which is mountainous and hilly, is particularly ambushed.
If the other side ambushes the Nara detachment on the way to it, then the Nara detachment will suffer great losses.
Could this be a conspiracy of the tiger cubs?
"Order, let our planes immediately conduct aerial reconnaissance of the Xitang area, and we must find out whether Xitang is the other party's supply depot."
Konoe said worriedly: "Your Excellency Commander, the other side also has a plane, and I am worried that if our plane encounters the other party's plane, it may be shot down." ”
"Yaga! Our planes have to fly. If we don't let it fly, then what do we want these planes to do? ”
Anan was very unhappy.
Because of Okamura's mistake, more than 100 planes in Wuhan were blown up.
Thirty of them were finally transferred from other places, and eight were killed by the other party's planes.
This is simply a disgrace to their empire.
When will the other side's plane be able to drop bombs on our heads?
However, for the sake of safety, Anan still said: "Tell the pilot to return immediately after the reconnaissance is completed." Be careful of the other side's plane. ”
Konoe pouted in his heart, what he said was the same as if he didn't say it.
Don't say this, the pilot will also be careful of the other plane.
After all, life is their own.
If you're not careful, your life will be gone.
Soon, a Japanese plane departed from Wuhan and flew to Xitang with a buzz.
After circling around Xitang twice, I found that there were a large number of ox carts, horse-drawn carts, and mountains of boxes and sacks.
Although I don't know what is inside, judging from the situation at the scene, it must be a large warehouse of the other party.
The results of the plane's reconnaissance made Anan very satisfied.
This can basically be determined that in Xitang, there must be a large material supply warehouse for Tiger Cub.
It's time to get your hands dirty......
Anan Yui said to Konoe Wen: "Order the Nara detachment to immediately send a wing of troops to launch a surprise attack on Xitang."
The speed should be fast, and strive to transport all the materials from Xitang back to Linxiang within one day.
Linxiang is an important material base for us. When the time comes, our army will attack Changsha and will be able to get supplies in time. ”
"Hey!" Konoe felt that Anan's decision was very correct.
Send a wing of troops to suddenly attack Xitang.
By the time the tiger boy reacted, his Xitang warehouse had already been captured.
Tiger Cub is indeed a smart person.
He knows that the most dangerous place is the safest place.
Who would have thought that in that small place in Xitang, there would be a big warehouse for tiger cubs?
If it weren't for the intelligence officers who sent this information, they wouldn't have considered Xitang at all.
It's too close to Linxiang.
Under normal circumstances, no one would have made such a bold decision.
Tiger Cub is really a difficult opponent.
The Nara detachment, which received an order from Anami, was very surprised.
Xitang?
There's actually a supply warehouse for Tiger Cub there?
Is this true?
Nara Daisa, who was holding the telegram, was surprised.
He really didn't expect that under his nose, there would be such a big piece of fat.
He immediately sent a wing and set off overnight, aiming at Xitang.
And Lu Zongze of the Changsha Command has already translated the content of the Japanese army's telegram clearly through the Japanese army's code.
Now the telegram of the Japanese army is placed on the table of the tiger cub.
The tiger boy picked it up and looked at it, stood up and tidied up his military uniform: "Order, Yang Sen's Department of the Fourth Army will immediately ambush on the front line of Xitang, and after the Japanese army enters Xitang, immediately launch an attack, and within one day, annihilate the Japanese army rushing to Xitang."
Ordered, Yang Lingji of the 58th Army and Li Lei of the New 1st Brigade to launch an attack on the Japanese army in Linxiang immediately after the battle of the Fourth Army began. Strive to take Linxiang within one day.
After annihilating the Nara detachment of the Japanese army, it quickly retreated.
The Fourth Army and the Fifty-eighth Army retreated their troops to the area of Dayun Mountain.
When Anan's rescue troops arrived at the front line of Xitang, they launched an attack.
Remember, their purpose was to disrupt the speed of Anan's march.
So that Anan's only few troops, the guards could not take care of each other.
Li Lei's new brigade advanced north into southern Hunan, looking for an opportunity to attack Wuhan.
Order, the Eighth Army, the Seventy-fourth Army, to set up an ambush in the area of Jinjing. Using the big floating mountain, the white stone mountain is relied on, and each other is the horn. After Anan's vanguard crossed the Miluo River, they encircled the enemy's vanguard and annihilated or rearmed the enemy's vanguard.
The 37th Army was ordered to blow up their pontoon bridges and build trenches along the Miluo River to prevent the Japanese vanguard from retreating. At the same time, cooperate with the Fourth Army and the Fifty-eighth Army to block the follow-up troops of Anan Weiji. ”
In the past few days, Tiger Boy and Li Lei have made a detailed judgment on Anan Weiji's way of sending troops.
He and Li Lei believe that Anan Weiji, as an admirer of the blitzkrieg, will definitely follow the example of country D in the way of sending troops.
Take advantage of the mobility of the troops and make a quick breakthrough from the center.
Desperate to move forward.
The advantage of this is that it is possible to concentrate forces and strike at one point of the opponent.
It's easier to tear through the opponent's defenses.
Use a powerful offensive to break up the opponent's battle formation.
But there is a very big drawback.
That is, the front of the troops is stretched too long.
If the troops are cut off, then the vanguard is likely to be surrounded by the other side and thus annihilated.
Anan must have thought of this as well.
Therefore, at the beginning, you should take the initiative to show weakness.
For this reason, Tiger Tsai ordered the Fourth Army and the Fifty-eighth Army, after annihilating the Nara detachment of the Japanese army, to give way to the middle zone of northern Hunan and let Anan Weiji come in to fight again.
At this time, Li Lei's new 1st Brigade had already rushed to the periphery of Linxiang, and as soon as the battle on the Xitang side began, his troops and the 58th Army would immediately launch an attack on Linxiang.
Li Lei has already ordered the troops to be ready for battle.
Moreover, this time Li Lei decided to use the blitzkrieg method as well.
His new brigade now has twenty tanks and twelve heavy guns!
Coupled with the original infantry artillery and mortars of the new 1st Brigade, it will not be a problem to fight a blitzkrieg.
Of course, his blitzkrieg is not the same as the blitzkrieg in the sense of country D.
The scale of Li Lei's blitzkrieg this time is much smaller.
Li Lei's request this time is to be fast.
First the plane boomed!
The plane is bombarded with heavy artillery!
Heavy artillery bombarded the tank and rushed!
Butan coordinated and advanced directly and quickly towards the Japanese army in Linxiang.
Let infantry artillery and mortars suppress enemy fire while advancing quickly.
As soon as the tanks rushed to the positions of the Japanese, the Nara detachment was finished.
Li Lei wants to do a real combat act in Linxiang.
Lay the groundwork for the next attack on Wuhan.
Tank crews are all ready-made.
But it was all given to him by the tiger boy and supplemented by him from other troops.
His new brigade can drive tanks, and there are few people in total.
Zhou Weiguo counts one, and Xu Hu counts one.
He Li Lei counted one.
The rest, it seems, is gone.
Li Lei calculated that when this war was over, it would be necessary to train a group of tank soldiers.
Wouldn't it be a waste if there were tanks in your new brigade and no one would drive them?
This has to be planned in advance.
If you look at the flight school in Yan'an, it's very good.
Fortunately, Wang Hanjiao let out a few pilots in advance. Otherwise, the plane in his hand would not be able to be used at all.
In this matter, Li Lei asked Zhao Gang to plan in advance, and when the time comes, he will choose some clever fighters and learn the tank.
Maybe by then, you'll have an armored force yourself?
This kind of thing, I can't say for sure!
