Chapter 798: Return to the Horse Gun
The reason why Liu Bao asked this is because in Jiang Haoran's plan, they should have encountered the Japanese army a hundred miles away, and now the Japanese army appeared fifty miles in advance, which shows that the plan has been wrong, and whether to implement the original blockade plan remains to be redetermined by Jiang Haoran.
Jiang Haoran obviously didn't believe this result, snatched the message from Leng Rushuang's hand, read it carefully, and then scolded: "I wiped the damn, the little devil actually thought of riding a bicycle?" ”
The jungle path, the big car is impassable, but it is really difficult to overturn the bicycle, the road that can carry hundreds of catties of jade through is conceivably not too narrow, Jiang Haoran suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, in the jungle, the little devils are in a row of two or three people, riding a bicycle all the way to talk and laugh, the scene of the wheels rolling forward, the back seat of the bicycle is carrying a big bag, all the food is in it, and there are even small steel cannons.
Jiang Haoran suddenly felt that his scalp was numb, and he shouted to Leng Rushuang: "Quick, go and ask Liu Xianwei to see where they are now, have they found the enemy?" ”
After speaking, he walked to the combat sand table, and the sudden change had already alarmed the staff officers of the headquarters, and Huang Jie quickly walked to the side of the sand table.
The Japanese army was more than a day faster than they had budgeted, and it was originally estimated that they should have only started to cross the river for the second time at this time, but now they have appeared fifty miles away after crossing the river, which shows that the strength of the Japanese army crossing the river has greatly exceeded the budget of at most one wing, and may even reach more than half of the astonishing number, so that it has become very dangerous to block or intercept, and after the battle, these 9,000 people may have to face a whole division of the Japanese army.
Soon, Leng Rushuang quickly returned to the headquarters, and had just made contact with Liu Xianwei, they were still five miles away from the Wanhe River, and they did not find the movement of the Japanese army for the time being.
Huang Jie said with a worried face: "General Seat, order Xianwei and them to stop advancing, if they advance further, they will directly hit the Japanese army, fifty miles away, even if there is a rapid search team of the Japanese army in front, the Japanese army has definitely crossed the river more than half, once Xianwei and they show up to intercept, whether they can chisel through the Japanese defense line to reach the riverside is still a problem, if the Japanese army outflanks them from both sides, they are very likely to fall into the encirclement of the Japanese army, the gains outweigh the losses, the total seat!" ”
Leng Rushuang continued: "Yes, the general seat, since the Japanese army uses bicycles, the supplies can be carried with the car, the logistics are far from being as fragile as we think, once the fight starts, they do not have an advantage, and we have no reinforcements to transfer to them, it will be difficult to get out of the trap, it is better to let them defend on the spot, on the one hand, to prevent the Japanese army from taking the opportunity to enter Yingdo, on the other hand, you can also follow the Japanese army forward, from the back to end their old bottom." ”
Jiang Haoran was silent, as if he was a little undecided, Huang Jie on the side was obviously more nervous than him, and continued: "I think Adjutant Leng has a good idea, even if the Japanese army occupies Homalin, now that the air supremacy is in our hands, the helicopter gunships can run rampant, and the Japanese troops who enter the city are far easier to deal with than in the jungle, so it's a big deal that we will attack them again like attacking Mina." ”
Jiang Haoran rolled his eyes and said, "You said it lightly, attack them again?" Where are the troops in the whole of Indodo that we can deploy now? Can these hundreds of helicopters alone repel the Japanese army? Besides, as soon as Khommarin is lost, the passage for helicopter night transportation is gone, and in less than three days, our ammunition will be exhausted, do you think we can repel the 18th division of the Japanese army in three days? ”
Obviously, Jiang Haoran's words are not unreasonable, in the case of insufficient ammunition and troops, it is difficult to defeat the Japanese army within three days, but there is really no better way than this, forcibly blocking, it is only to increase casualties, I am afraid it will not be able to stop the Japanese army from entering the footsteps of Homalin.
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, then what should I do, you have an idea, Liu Bao and they are about to encounter the Japanese army, are they fighting or retreating?" Cold as frost, so anxious that he only stomped his feet.
Jiang Haoran swallowed a mouthful of saliva, gritted his teeth and said, "Fight!" Liu Bao was ordered to try to ambush the Japanese army, but the exposed strength could only be one battalion, and regardless of the outcome, all the troops immediately went west into the jungle, according to the original plan, went around to the rear of the Japanese army, and cooperated with the airborne brigade to flank the Japanese troops crossing the river from the left and right flanks. ”
Huang Jie hurriedly said: "Ah, from the jungle to the place where the Japanese army crossed the river, you must climb over the Bangnia Mountain, not to mention the long journey, basically to open the way in the jungle, at least twice the original time, I am afraid they have not yet reached the Japanese army crossing the river, the Japanese army has already crossed the river, in this way, it seems that there is no substantive significance, and once the road is released, the Japanese army can go straight into the long car and directly enter the Homalin, since the Japanese army is to be let go, why not simply order Liu Bao to retreat, although they only have one regiment." , more than 3,000 people, but after all, it is an elite force, and at least it can add a little strength to the defense of Homarin. ”
Jiang Haoran glanced at Huang Jie, and then said to Leng Rushuang: "What do you see, go and send a power to Liu Bao, no matter how late they are, they won't have time to prepare." ”
Leng Rushuang subconsciously glanced at Huang Jie, then turned around and left, probably looking at his face, and knowing that his words were basically useless, when Jiang Haoran decided to do this, no one's words were good.
As soon as Leng Rushuang left, Jiang Haoran turned to Huang Jie and said: "Chief of Staff, what you said may be reasonable, but even if John is transferred to Homarin, I'm afraid it will be useless, how is the combat effectiveness of the British army?" I think you know better than I do that if John's regiment is behind the enemy, the enemy must be on guard at all times, and I have no intention of having them cooperate with the airborne brigade to seize the crossing, but only for the purpose of allowing the Japanese to send troops to pursue them. ”
"Let the Japanese pursue?" The imperial army frowned, and then asked tentatively: "Do you mean to deliberately expose the strength of a battalion to induce the Japanese army to send a small force to pursue them, and then suddenly kill a horse pistol to eat the small force of the Japanese army, so that the enemy is not sure how many troops are hidden in this jungle, so that he does not dare to advance towards Homarin with confidence and boldness?" ”
"Hehe, the chief of staff is smart, and he can understand it at all." Jiang Haoran cocked his thumb and smiled.
Huang Jie was not pleased, and continued to ask: "Then why don't you tell Liu Bao your intentions directly, so that you won't mislead him?" ”
Jiang Haoran said with a smile: "If Su Canwen is in command at the front, I will tell him directly, but Liu Bao can't do this?" ”
