Chapter 386: The Japanese Army Increases
The corners of Jiang Haoran's mouth hooked slightly, how could he not know the reason for the above methods, but he was too lazy to bother with this, and he was not even willing to continue this topic, and said coldly: "Chief of Staff, what is the new progress in Youxian!" "Oh! The 23rd Wing of the Japanese Army has turned to attack Youxian, Liu Dakun's troops arrived in Youxian on time after completing the blocking task, with the help of the New Fourth Army, the militia of the county brigade and district squad reached more than 5,000 people, Su Peng built complete fortifications overnight, and the Sixth Division was originally a lightly armed raid and did not carry heavy artillery fire, so it is not a problem to hold on! "Liu He is colorful." Okay, order Yuan Dongdong to quickly fill the gap in the encirclement, and at the same time order the special operations division to speed up the offensive and catch up with the enemy's large forces, and the enemy's main force must be annihilated before dark! Jiang Haoran said.
Zhang Dabiao frowned slightly, and said first: "Military seat, we have surrounded the enemy, this time the Japanese army can be said to have suffered heavy casualties, and it is impossible to mobilize a large number of troops to break the siege in the short term, if we surround but not fight, slowly consume the combat effectiveness and supplies of the Japanese army, within ten days, the Japanese army will collapse on its own, and then clean them up at this time, it will hardly blow the dust, we need to risk such a large number of casualties・・・・・・"
Before Zhang Dabiao's words were finished, Jiang Haoran waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to say any more, and ordered the soldiers to call Zhuang Fuguo, the director of the intelligence department, in.
Although Zhuang Fuguo rarely enters the public's field of vision, his appearance is indeed ± to people's obedience, and he never disappoints people with the information that the military department wants, and the construction of the intelligence network is becoming more and more perfect, although it is not as large and complicated as the military command, but its mystery makes the Japanese army like a dog biting a hedgehog and cannot speak. The rapid development of the base, the people in and out are mixed, but so far it has not been sabotaged by enemy elements, let alone any serious intelligence leakage, all of which are the credit of Zhuang Fuguo.
It is also because Zhuang Fuguo is also the director of the intelligence department and the head of the special service group, and he has the power and power to ask people, and no one dares to ask about arresting people in any unit of the Nanshan Independent Army, and the soldiers secretly scold them for being no different from the military commanders, and there are also senior officers who sue Jiang Haoran because the soldiers below or grassroots officers were arrested by the special service group, but Jiang Haoran has never interfered in these things of Zhuang Fuguo, on the one hand, he is fully trusted, on the other hand, he also knows that intelligence work is not easy, and it is completely necessary to screen the suspected.
Not long after, Zhuang Fuguo appeared at the door of the headquarters and reported to him.
Jiang Haoran beckoned and said, "Come, Fuguo, bring the latest intelligence report you got to the deputy commander and chief of staff!" Be! Zhuang Fuguo said loudly: "According to reliable sources, the Japanese army has increased sharply in Nanjing, Shanghai, and Hangzhou a few days ago, and it is conservatively estimated that more than ten divisions ・・・・・・" "What? More than ten divisions? Zhang Dabiao and Liu He suddenly got up almost at the same time, their four eyes were as wide as copper bells, indeed, the strength of ten divisions was enough to shock.
Jiang Haoran said indifferently: "There is nothing strange about this, the Japanese army wants to maintain stability in the occupied areas of China, and it is necessary to start a war with the Soviet Union, and it is natural to increase troops, so if we want to eat the sixth and ninth divisions of the Japanese army, the time is only three days at most, and after three days, the Japanese reinforcements will definitely arrive in Pingxiang quickly from the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway." ”
Liu He said in a panic: "I understand, I'll give an order!" After saying that, he immediately got up and went straight to the telecommunications room.
As a matter of fact, in order to ensure victory in the Battle of Nomenkan and at the same time to ensure that the occupied areas would not be looted by the anti-Japanese elements, the Japanese army began to urgently recruit troops at the beginning of the year, and 50 divisions and regiments composed of soldiers and recruits in the countryside had secretly left for the Chinese battlefield in batches half a month ago, of which 30 divisions had left for Manchukuo and 20 divisions had entered Central China and North China. At this time, the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government only knew about this information that the Japanese army had increased a large number of troops to Manchukuo, and the motive was unknown.
・・・・・・ when Chu Zhongtian received the order, the troops had just stopped to rest for less than half an hour. This place is already more than 50 miles away from Dawei Mountain, which means that the special operations division has been pursuing the enemy for more than 50 miles in a row, and has not stopped all night, almost shooting at the ass of the Japanese army. Just half an hour ago, the forward reported that the Japanese army had set up an ambush on the opposite hill and had built complete fortifications, and the soldiers of a company of the forward pursued it, and only more than 30 people returned, losing more than 80 soldiers. Only then did Chu Zhongtian order the troops to stop advancing and bury the pot to cook for a short rest.
Who knows, before the buttocks are hot, the order from the military department came, there was no way, Chu Zhongtian stuffed the buns in his hands into his mouth, and ordered the commanders above the regiment to come over for a meeting.
In order to prevent enemy air raids, the temporary headquarters was set up in a cave, the space was not large, only a dozen square meters, and more than a dozen brigade commanders and regiment commanders were huddled together, around a protruding stone table in the cave, on which a military map was placed.
Chu Zhongtian pointed to the map with his finger and said: "This hill opposite us is called Broken Soul Mountain, it is no more than 600 meters high, but the mountain is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the casualties will be very large from the front, so the first brigade and the second brigade feint on the front to attract enemy firepower, the third brigade is outflanked from the left flank, and the fourth brigade is outflanked from the right flank, before the third brigade and the fourth brigade arrive at the attack site, the artillery regiment will continue to bombard, the time is half an hour, that is, you only have half an hour to reach the attack site." Make full use of the superior firepower in your hands, review the mountain warfare I taught you again, use the company and platoon as a unit, disperse and attack in multiple ways, and attack continuously without giving the enemy any respite until the capture, all understand? "Got it!" More than a dozen officers slammed into their promises. "Good! The time has come to prove that you are a real steel army, and I hope you will get it back in this battle. Also, I tell you that the Japanese troops on the opposite hill will never have less than one wing, because the Japanese army knows that less than one wing is not enough for our special operations division, and it is very likely to be the elite 45th Wing of the Sixth Division, I hope you will not take it lightly, prepare separately, and start the operation in ten minutes! Chu Zhongtian said awe-inspiringly. Be! The generals agreed.
・・・・・・ Yanggu Mountain, the junction of Liling and Youxian County.
On the hills on both sides, the blue sky and white sun flags were waving in the wind, arrogant and eye-catching, in the long trenches, light and heavy machine guns had been erected, hand grenades had been neatly placed in the trenches, the "guns without conscience" had opened their mouths, and the explosives bags had been lying peacefully in the big oil drums. **Soldiers are nibbling on white-flour steamed buns, standing or sitting, and are bragging and fartizing.
This is the eastern part of Yuan of the Nanshan Independent Army, and the first brigade of Hong Tianlei is fortified here. Before dawn, they had already arrived here, built trenches and prepared for a qiē, and waited for the devil to come to the door. And the division commander Yuan Dong is leading the rest of the troops to advance laterally, blocking all the main roads and small roads, their task is the same as Su Peng's third division, responsible for tying pockets, and the special operations division is the hunting dog that drives livestock into the pockets.
