Chapter 1403: Salted Fish Turns Over
As if everything had been verified, an hour later, the enemy had ceased its offensive and stopped less than forty miles from Texas and less than ten miles from the front line of the Nationalist army.
At this time, even Bai Chongxi couldn't hold back, seeing that Jiang Haoran was also idle, he was sitting in a corner and smoking, and stepped forward and asked, "Boss, how do you know that the enemy will stop attacking in an hour?" ”
"Ah......" Jiang Haoran seemed to be startled, and then reacted, and said with a smile: "This is calculated according to the enemy's logistics support, although they have a large number of tanks, but compared with the mechanization of the German army, it is still far behind, more than 100 miles down, not to mention that the infantry has fallen far away, I am afraid that the fuel is almost exhausted." Of course, this is not the main thing, the main thing is that at night, their air superiority is completely lost, and we have advanced radar aircraft, which is more suitable for night operations, so they must stop and build defensive positions in case we take advantage of the night to sneak attack, and only wait for tomorrow after dawn before continuing to launch a final onslaught, so that it is possible to break through our Texas defense line in one fell swoop. ”
"Oh......" Bai Chongxi woke up like a dream, nodded like pounding garlic, and his face was full of admiration, and then he suddenly remembered: "By the way, what were you thinking about just now?" Want to attack? ”
"No, I'm just wondering how the Eighth and Ninth armies held the line? So far, they have withstood the enemy's attack with a few anti-tank trenches and geographical advantages, and there is no sign of being broken through by the island army, how did they do it. ”
Bai Chongxi looked embarrassed, hesitated slightly, and said: "The Yan'an troops are good at guerrilla warfare, burying * and setting traps are also their specialties, I don't think I can escape these methods." ”
Jiang Haoran nodded, as if he agreed with Bai Chongxi's words, and at this moment, Lin Long walked over with a telegram with a spring breeze on his face, and said excitedly: "General Seat, Chief Bai, good news, the Eighth Army and the Ninth Army have successfully repelled the frontal enemy, and the troops are pursuing the victory." ”
"What?"
"What?"
Jiang and Li catapulted and said in unison, this news was too sudden, and it was much beyond their imagination, the enemy was menacing all the way, like a bamboo, the front line in North China was beaten by them and lost their armor, and they were able to repel the enemy when they were a lot behind in equipment, is this too child's play, especially Bai Chongxi, suddenly felt like he was slapped in the face.
Lin Long seemed to enjoy the surprise of the two very much, and proudly handed the telegram in his hand to Jiang Haoran, Jiang Haoran hurriedly browsed and handed it to Bai Chongxi, the telegram was clearly written in black and white, the Eighth Army and the Ninth Army had successfully repelled the enemy, and they were pursuing the victory.
The two glanced at each other, still with an expression of disbelief on their faces, and Jiang Haoran immediately said: "Call Mr. Zhu back immediately, ask him what happened, don't give me all these useless things." ”
Lin Long immediately pursed his lips and glanced at Jiang Haoran, but he still walked to the telecommunications room with the message.
To say that with the two group armies not only being able to block the enemy's steel torrent but also successfully forcing them back, Jiang Haoran would not believe it if he killed him, the tactics of the island army's flank attack are very obvious, and there is no reason to easily retreat at this time, even if the island army temporarily retreats, where do they have the confidence to dare to pursue? What are you kidding about chasing the enemy's tank units with infantry? There's got to be weird about that.
Ten minutes later, Lin Long turned back again, bringing Mr. Zhu's overall plan, Jiang Haoran knew that they had just attacked Jining, turning the rear of the entire Datong upside down.
"Use half of your troops to cross the Yinshan Mountain Range and attack Jining, good, good! Mr. Zhu did a great job! Jiang Haoran stroked his palms and was happy.
Bai Chongxi didn't seem to accept this reality yet, pinched the telegram and muttered, "How did they do it? These 100,000 troops are interspersed with the past, is it possible that the island army does not notice anything? ”
"Hahaha!" Jiang Haoran laughed out loud and said: "Chief Bai, don't doubt it, the Yinshan Mountain Range is inaccessible, and the roads are even more rugged and difficult, but this kind of harsh environment is common to the Yan'an troops, and long-distance running is also what they are best at, using more than ten days to run hundreds of miles of treacherous areas, not to mention that the little devil can't think of it, even I haven't thought about it, this hand is too clever." ”
Bai Chongxi's face immediately became very ugly, he originally planned to push them to the forefront to be cannon fodder, but who knew that the salted fish turned over and actually let them take the first credit, how could he be embarrassed?
Jiang Haoran did not pay attention to Bai Chongxi at all, and excitedly ordered the telecommunications staff officer to call back, ordering the Eighth Army to occupy Jining at all costs, and at the same time launch a sabotage battle against the rear of Datong, stirring their rear into a pot of porridge.
Immediately, Jiang Haoran ordered to send a telegram to the Second Theater of Operations, and ordered Yan Laoxi to transfer another group army to aid the Ninth Army in front of Datong, cooperate with them to attack Datong, and take advantage of the enemy's chaos to seize Datong.
In the following time, Jiang Haoran behaved extremely relaxed, talking and laughing in the command center, as if he was not worried about the battle situation in front of him at all, although this undoubtedly gave the command personnel great confidence, but it also aroused everyone's curiosity, and they all wanted to know how Jiang Haoran decided to fight this battle, but Jiang Haoran always kept silent in the name of safety.
At about 6 o'clock in the evening, Jiang Haoran finally made a move, and the first order he issued was to the air force, ordering them to prepare for an attack, mobilize all the fighters and bombers at the nearby airfield, and launch a carpet bombing of the enemy at the front half an hour later, without stopping until they received the order to stop.
At half past six, the sky has basically entered the hazy night time, and the island air force, which has poor combat capability at night, basically does not dare to go to the battlefield, but the Chinese air force under the command of a radar plane can show its strength in a big way, and all the bombs that have no chance to be thrown during the day can be thrown on the heads of the little devils under the cover of night.
After arranging the Air Force, Jiang Haoran ordered to arrange a helicopter to go to Texas.
Bai Chongxi was immediately dumbfounded, "No...... Headquarters, going to Texas at this time? ”
Jiang Haoran picked up the steel helmet and put it on his head upright, and said casually: "If we don't go to Texas, how can we watch this wonderful performance, let's go Brother Jiansheng." ”
Outside the gate of the headquarters, two transport helicopters were already parked in the courtyard, whirring their propellers.
Lin Long glanced left and right, but found that there was only the orderly soldier Xiaodao beside him, and none of the other members of the Snow Wolf Special Combat Team saw it, how could this general seat go out without their guards, and immediately exclaimed: "Su Canwen, where is the Snow Wolf Special Combat Team?" ”
