Chapter 975: Encirclement
Xu Rui has indeed lived up to Chen Yi's trust, and has arranged everything properly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In fact, Xu Rui didn't say much, he just made a comprehensive analysis of various possibilities with Han Deqin, or rather, he just gave Han Deqin three different choices.
In the first option, Han Deqin can continue to choose to be the enemy of the New Fourth Army, and the New Fourth Army may suffer heavy losses as a result, but the New Fourth Army will also fight back, and Xu Rui will make the secret order issued by Chairman Jiang public, and it is completely conceivable that at that time, the whole army and the people and all the media in China will launch verbal and written criticisms of Chairman Chiang and Han Deqin.
Collusion with aggressors to harm one's own compatriots is a great stain! Chairman Chiang will try to clear himself, and it is very likely that he will find out Han Deqin as a scapegoat, which is almost certain.
The second option, Han Deqin can also sit on the sidelines and not participate in it, but without Xu Rui's reminder, Han Deqin himself can imagine that Chairman Jiang will definitely be angry afterwards and will definitely settle accounts with him after the autumn, and at that time, Han Deqin's best result can only be to be the deputy commander-in-chief of the Sulu Theater and be hung high.
The third option is to honestly cooperate with the New Fourth Army and fight devils, although after doing so, Chairman Jiang will still feel unhappy, but if Han Deqin really made a record in the battlefield in northern Jiangsu and severely damaged the Ninth Division, Chairman Jiang can only endure it if he is unhappy, because at that time, standing behind him Han Deqin is the entire country and the entire nation, will Chairman Jiang dare to risk the world's disapproval and hang him high?
After giving three options, Xu Rui let Han Deqin go.
However, Yu Bican's guard platoon was detained by Xu Rui.
After Han Deqin was freed, he did not immediately return to the headquarters in Funing, but went straight to the brigade headquarters of the 66th Brigade in Bata Town, where the 33rd Division had two brigades, the 65th and 66th, of which the 66th Brigade was the best equipped and was the most effective infantry brigade in the 89th Army.
After weighing up, Han Deqin chose the third path.
What's more interesting is that Han Deqin never doubted whether this battle could be won?
Not long after Han Deqin arrived at Pagoda Town, Jia Yunshan, the commander of the 33rd Division, also arrived.
Jia Yunshan came to Liu Dongbin, the brigade commander of the 66 th Brigade, to ask for his guilt, because as early as 8 o'clock this morning, Jia Yunshan had already issued a combat order, ordering the 66 th Brigade to launch an attack on Zhongzhuang Town, where a regiment of the New Fourth Army was stationed in the south.
Jia Yunshan angrily walked into the headquarters of the 66th Brigade and shouted, "Where is Liu Dongbin? ”
A staff officer of the 66th Brigade stepped forward and just wanted to speak, but was pushed away by Jia Yunshan.
"Get out!" Jia Yunshan pushed the staff officer away, and then continued to yell, "A major staff officer, you are not qualified to talk to me, let Liu Dongbin get out of here immediately!" ”
Jia Yunshan is actually using the topic to play, he just wants to find fault, because Liu Dongbin is Han Deqin's confidant, and he has always only obeyed the orders of Han Deqin, the army commander, but he always disobeys the orders of his division commander.
But now, Jia Yunshan finally seized the opportunity.
"Bastard, where did Liu Dongbin go? The big war is coming, but he, the brigade commander, is not in the brigade headquarters, what does he want to do? ”
"Go and find it, go and get Liu Dongbin back for me immediately, you tell him, if he can't come back within two minutes, he, the brigade commander, will not do it! It's better to go home and sell sweet potatoes as soon as possible! ”
When Jia Yunshan was talking happily, a gloomy voice suddenly sounded from behind him: "Hehe, is Senior Commander Jia really so majestic?" ”
"Quack ......" Jia Yunshan immediately rattled, and then turned around mechanically.
saw that Han Deqin was actually standing behind him, and the expression on his face was also gloomy.
"The main seat?" Jia Yunshan's mind couldn't turn a little, and he said dumbfounded, "Why did you come back?" ”
Han Deqin's expression instantly became more and more gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "Division Commander Jia, do you wish I couldn't come back, and then you will take over the post of commander of the 89th Army in order?" ”
"That's it." Jia Yunshan was told what he thought in his heart, and he responded casually, but he reacted after the words came out, and it was Han Deqin who was standing in front of him, and he waved his hand again and again at the moment and said, "No, no, no, no, there is no such idea in the lowly position, and the lowly position is dreaming that the general seat can return safely." ”
"Okay, I don't know what you two are thinking?" Han Deqin snorted, and then continued, "Since you are here, it is just right, and it will save me from going to the division headquarters of the 33rd Division to find you again, so you will lead the troops to make a detour from Yongxing Town and Punan Township to attack the flank and rear of the Qiushan detachment." ”
"What?" Jia Yunshan instinctively plucked out his ears when he heard this, and he suspected that he had heard it wrong.
"Are you deaf?" Han Deqin continued, "I'll let you lead your troops to flank behind the Akiyama detachment!" ”
Now Jia Yunshan was sure that he had heard correctly, but he wondered if Han Deqin's brain was broken? At that moment, he whispered to remind Han Deqin and said: "General seat, it is the New Fourth Army that is in a state of war with us, but the Japanese army is our friendly army, how can we let the enemy not fight, but instead run to attack the friendly army?" ”
"Fart!" Han Deqin was furious and said sharply, "What did you just say? You just said that the devil is your ally? Do you also want to learn from Wang Jingwei as a traitor? ”
When Jia Yunshan heard this, he suddenly shuddered, and said repeatedly: "No, no, no, there is no such intention in a humble position!" ”
"I forgive you and don't dare!" Han Deqin snorted and said, "Then what are you still doing here?" ”
"Yes!" Jia Yunshan snapped and stood upright, and said sharply, "Humble duty, this is to lead the troops to attack the little devil!" ”
Han Deqin's control of the 89th Army was still effective, and after a while, the 65th Brigade and the two brigades of the 117th Division also received orders, and after receiving Han Deqin's order, the 4 infantry brigades of the 33rd Division and the 117th Division immediately turned around, cut diagonally from the right flank of the New Fourth Army, drew an arc, and launched a fierce attack behind the Akiyama detachment.
Almost at the same time, the eight main regiments of the New Fourth Army and the Northern Jiangsu Military Region also made a detour on the left flank, and the eight main regiments of the New Fourth Army and the four infantry brigades of the 89th Army of the Nationalist Army were like a pair of crabs, wrapping the Akiyama detachment in its entirety, and it seemed that it was about to form an encirclement of the Akiyama detachment.
(Dividing Line)
At this time, the Akiyama detachment had just occupied the town of Donggou.
Akiyama Yoshiyoshi had just led the main force of the detachment into Donggou Town with great ambition, and less than half an hour after he was proud, he received a report from the 35th Infantry Wing in charge of the palace, saying that one of their infantry squads was suddenly attacked by the Nationalist Army when they were going to the countryside to sweep away, and judged that the Nationalist Army might turn back.
"Nani?" Yoshiyoshi Akiyama's first reaction when he received the report was disbelief.
The National Army and the New Fourth Army have long been in the same situation, so how can it be said that if you oppose water, you will fight against water? Aren't they afraid that the New Fourth Army will settle accounts with them after the autumn? Isn't it normal logic to take this opportunity to fully cooperate with the Imperial Army to completely exterminate the New Fourth Army and guerrillas operating in northern Jiangsu?
"Yaga!" Akiyama Yoshiyoshi immediately made his judgment, "This must be a trick of **, this must be ** deliberately sent people to disguise themselves as the national army and attack our sweeping team, they are trying to provoke the imperial army to fight with the national army, and then they can sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman, ** is really too cunning." ”
"The detachment leader is wise!"
"I think it's true!"
"That's definitely the way it is."
Several wing commanders and staff officers of the detachment command echoed their remarks.
With so many people agreeing, Akiyama became more and more convinced that his judgment was correct, and immediately ordered the 7th Infantry Wing to continue to advance, and at the same time ordered the 35th Infantry Wing to follow, spreading out on the right flank of the 7th Infantry Wing, so that the two infantry wings could form a pincer offensive.
But in this way, the flanks and rear of the Akiyama detachment were completely undefended.
However, Akiyama Yoshiyoshi didn't care about this at all, firstly, he never thought that the Nationalist Army would oppose the water, and secondly, even if the Nationalist Army rebelled against the water, it would not be a big deal, and it would be a big deal to draw one or two infantry brigades from the front line at that time, and Akiyama Yoshiyoshi firmly believed that his two infantry brigades would be enough to block the 89th Army.
Akiyama Yoshiyoshi didn't think that the National Army had not only turned against the water, but also joined forces with the New Fourth Army!
If Akiyama Yoshiyo thought of this, most of them would immediately shrink their defenses or simply retreat back to Huaiyin City, but unfortunately, Xu Rui's entire plan was not leaky, even Jia Yunshan and Li Shouwei didn't know the truth until the last moment, and Akiyama Yoshiyo was naturally even more unlikely to know the truth.
Originally, Akiyama Yoshiyoshi could have asked the Command of the Command to dispatch aviation scouts to conduct aerial reconnaissance of the movements of the Nationalist Army, but unfortunately, recently, the Kwantung Army was intensively preparing for military operations against the Soviet Union, and a large amount of materials and equipment were being assembled in North Manchuria.
It doesn't seem logical to do so.
Because of the war against China, Japan has been close to bankruptcy, and now it has only been a truce for less than half a year, and the country's financial situation has not yet fully recovered, but it has to go to war with the Soviet Union, which is far more powerful than China. But those bureaucrats in the Japanese army base camp are so strange.
At this time, thousands of planes and tanks were gathering in Manchuria, and with the large-scale build-up of these weapons, aviation fuel and gasoline for tanks were also concentrating in large quantities in Manchuria.
Because of this, the Akiyama detachment lost its last chance. (To be continued.) )
