Chapter 359 The opponent's troops, a lot

Tiger Boy has received the news that the battle of Kanai has begun.

Whether it can succeed or not depends on this.

Tiger Boy immediately sent a telegram to Li Lei, asking Li Lei to launch a sneak attack on Wuchang immediately.

If Li Lei's troops can take out Anan Weiji's headquarters, then it will be much easier to fight next.

At the same time, Tiger Tsai sent a telegram to Lao Chen, asking his troops in the Sixth War Zone to immediately launch an attack on Yichang.

Contain the Japanese forces and prevent the troops of Yichang from reinforcing Wuchang.

At the same time, let the Sixth Theater send another part of its troops out of the city to block the retreat route of the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army.

The 33rd Division of the Japanese Army was entangled by its own Fourth Army and 58th Army, and it was unable to withdraw for a while.

Everything is going in the direction of victory.

The tiger cub looked at the huge sand table and was a little distracted.

I always felt that something was wrong.

"Chief of Staff, how do I feel that there is a loophole in my plan?"

The tiger boy frowned and looked at the sand table again.

I always felt that something was wrong.

"Vulnerability?" Chief of Staff Wu was stunned, is something wrong?

Chief of Staff Wu looked at the huge sand table: "Commander-in-chief, are you worried about the sudden retreat of the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army?" ”

The tiger boy slapped his thigh: "Yes, it's the 33rd Division!" I always felt that it was not enough to entangle the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army with the strength of the Fourth Army and the 58th Army.

If the 33rd Division is determined to retreat, the strength of our two armies will not be enough to stop them. ”

"Commander Chen of the Sixth War Zone, hasn't he already sent troops to the city? Believing in his troops, they will be able to get there very quickly. ”

Tiger Boy said: "From the sixth war zone to Tongcheng, it will take one day at the earliest.

I'm afraid that the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army will retreat suddenly, and before Lao Chen's troops can reach Tongcheng, the 33rd Division will run away. ”

Chief of Staff Wu thought about it for a while, and there was really such a possibility.

The Japanese 106th Division was alone in the depths, deeply encircled, and basically could not escape.

And the 33rd Division wanted to come to the rescue. It was necessary to get rid of the offensive of the Fourth and Fifty-eighth Armies.

At the same time, it had to face the defense line of the 26th Army and the 37th Army on the Miluo River.

It is simply impossible to join the 106th Division in a short period of time.

If Anan had been smart, he would have given up the 106th Division.

In this way, it was possible to keep the 33rd Division and the Saeda detachment.

If the 33rd Division does not retreat, it will soon be surrounded.

As long as the two armies sent by Lao Chen occupy Tongcheng, the 33rd Division will also face the fate of being annihilated.

Considering its pros and cons, Anan Weiji will definitely let the 33rd Division retreat.

If you think about it this way, Lao Chen's two armies won't be able to catch up with Tongcheng at all!

Moreover, Li Lei's new 1st Brigade will also face the attack of the 33rd Division.

No way!

The 33rd Division could not be allowed to run back.

The tiger boy looked at the sand table and thought for a while: "Order, the 26th Army stationed on the north bank of the Miluo River immediately launched an attack on the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army." Together with the Fourth Army and the Fifty-eighth Army, the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army was dragged.

The 37th Army on the south bank of the Miluo River was ordered to hold the defensive line to prevent the Japanese 106th Division from retreating northward. ”

It's much better that way.

The tiger cub breathed a sigh of relief.

Now everything he can do has been done, and the rest is up to God's will.

Li Lei had already received a telegram from Tiger Boy, and the battle had started according to plan.

Next, it's up to him Li Lei's new brigade.

Zhou Weiguo and Xu Hu had already taken over the tank crew.

Li Lei asked them to protect them and wait to receive the Japanese tanks.

When the two hundred tankers heard that they could drive the tanks, they were very excited.

Although they had learned how to drive tanks, the reality was that there were simply not so many tanks for them to drive during the war.

After several major battles, the tanks of the national army were completely lost, and there was not much left.

Only a few descendant troops have a few vehicles.

It wasn't their turn to drive at all.

So they became infantry again.

However, a soldier who does not want to drive a tank is not a good soldier.

If they don't drive a tank, then aren't they blind in the technology they learned to drive a tank?

It's just that they are all curious, Brigadier Li Lei, does he have so many tanks?

We're two hundred of us.

Even if two people drive one tank, it will cost a hundred!

A hundred!

The Ninth Theater plus the Sixth Theater did not have a hundred vehicles.

This Hubei is now the territory of the little devils, where did Brigadier Commander Li Lei go to get a hundred tanks to come over?

Shun Yu'er straightened his intestines and said directly: "If our brigade commander says that there is, there must be!" Put your heart in your belly, and you'll be able to drive a tank! ”

Shunyoer's accent is from Handan, and the tank was stunned to make him say that he was a tank.

The domineering and mighty name was instantly shouted by him with the taste of a matchbox.

The sneak attack on Wuchang is about to begin.

The reconnaissance unit has returned, and it has basically defended the Japanese troops in Wuchang, and it is almost touched.

Li Lei convened an operational military conference.

"Ordered, Xu Hu took the special combat team, according to the location of the Japanese headquarters marked, touched there, and launched a surprise attack. Find a way to kill Anan Weiji's headquarters, and if you see Anan Weiji, kill him.

Ordered, Zhou Weiguo led the first battalion and the second battalion of the independent regiment to raid the Japanese airfield, and he must kill the Japanese troops at the airfield and not let their planes take off. Try to keep the aircraft in good condition.

Ordered, Sun Chenghai with a battalion of the New Third Regiment, crossed the Yangtze River, and infiltrated near the Hankou station. When the tanks arrived at the Hankou railway station, occupy the railway station.

Order, sweet potato with a company of troops, protect the tank crew. After Sun Chenghai occupied Hankou Station, he immediately led his troops over, drove the tank, and waited for the next attack order.

Ordered, Li Da was able to lead the new third regiment to attack Wuchang from the east.

Order, Liu Yuan's independent 2nd Regiment, to attack Wuchang from the south.

Ordered, Li Yunlong temporarily took charge of commanding the remaining troops of the Independent Regiment to launch an attack on Wuchang from the north.

The order, the tank unit, was incorporated into the New Third Regiment, listened to the command of Li Da, and quickly broke through the defensive line of the Japanese army in front of Wuchang.

The artillery unit was ordered to carry out artillery strikes at 6 o'clock in the morning according to the marked Japanese defense map.

Other troops, attack on time at half past six! ”

All of them are in good spirits.

Their new brigade is going to fight Wuhan!

The happiest one is Li Yunlong.

Now he finally got his wish and could fight with his troops.

The reason why Li Lei decided to do so was that there was no way.

His new brigade was understaffed.

If there were three more regiments, it would be different.

Li Lei and Zhao Gang discussed that when the Wuhan War was over, their new brigade would be expanded immediately.

Now weapons are not a problem.

The main thing is to recruit soldiers.

But it's not a big deal.

Now his name Li Lei is not small.

When the time comes, Li Lei's name will be moved, and some young people will join the army.

When the time comes, three more regiments of soldiers will be recruited, and my new brigade will almost have more than 10,000 people.

This is a reinforced division, right?

A division...... Add to that my planes and tanks, and I feel like I can reclaim Nanjing!

The more Li Lei thought about it, the more his blood boiled.

His own troops are constantly growing, but it seems that his own military cadres are not enough.

Li Lei asked Zhao Gang to pay more attention to this aspect, not only soldiers but no generals.

It is necessary to look for candidates for future regiment commanders and battalion commanders as soon as possible, otherwise they will be blinded by then.

Six o'clock sharp.

The rumbling sound of cannons woke up the sleeping Anan Weiji.

It's early in the morning, who's shooting!?

Anan was very angry.

When he opened his eyes in a daze, he suddenly realized that something was wrong!

Wuhan here, how can there be a sudden sound of artillery fire?

Listen to the voice, it's close.

What the hell is going on?

Anan Weiji was just about to call someone, and Konoe Wen hurriedly pushed open the door of Anan Weiji's room: "Your Excellency Commander, Wuchang has been attacked by unknown troops!" ”

Nani!??

How is this possible!

Anan Weiji's brain buzzed, how could there be an unknown army in Wuchang!

He tried to calm himself: "Konoe-kun, immediately order the troops to defend all places. Order the troops to destroy this force at once. ”

"Hey!" Konoe said.

When Anami arrived at the war room, Konoe and the others were already waiting there, their faces solemn.

In their headquarters, the rumbling of artillery could be heard, and it was very dense.

According to this frequency of shelling, the other side also has at least fifty large-caliber guns.

As for the mortars, now they are not heard at all.

Anan Weiji asked, "Have you found out the situation of the other party's troops?" ”

Konoe Wen straightened up and said in embarrassment: "Report to Your Excellency the Commander, I haven't found out yet." I only know that the combat effectiveness of this army is very strong.

Now the opposing forces have not yet attacked.

Their artillery, in the shelling of our defenders.

It is estimated that after the shelling, this force will attack immediately.

Judging by the shelling, it is likely that the opposing side's troops will not be less than two divisions. ”

Two divisions!?

Anan could barely believe his ears.

The strength of two divisions of the enemy ran right under our noses, and we didn't even notice it!

Are you kidding?

Our troops, are they all eating?

Two divisions, but not two people, how could they not have found out?

Anan wanted to overturn the table in front of him so that he could vent his anger.

But he tried twice and gave up.

It's so heavy......

Two divisions, and being able to get here unconsciously, his commander must be a powerful figure.

Judging by the number of artillery, this is the main force of the opposing side.

So this unit, will it be sent by Tiger Boy?

Anan Weiji put a big question mark in his heart.

Just as he was thinking about it, a devil hurriedly ran over, holding a telegram in his hand: "Report to Your Excellency Commander, the 106th Division is surrounded in Jinjing." The 33rd Division, which was attacked by about three armies of the opposing side, suffered heavy losses. ”

Before he could finish reading, the telegram was snatched up by Konoe Fumi.
