Chapter 1230: Eight-sided exquisite
With a wave of the command pole in Mr. Lin's hand, he landed on the word "Suqian", and continued: "Now the island army in Suqian and Lingbi has entered a dilemma because the Twelfth Army has been surrounded, retreat, the Twelfth Army is at risk of annihilation, don't retreat, the Jinpu Railway has been broken, and the Tenth Army on the Xuzhou defense line can no longer retreat quickly, once our army finishes cleaning up the Twelfth Army, it will be too late for them to retreat." Yes, as the chief of the General Staff Bai said, 'At present, the Suqian defense line of the island army has not yet been formed, and the follow-up reinforcements have not yet been in place. However, at this time, the island army on the Suqian defense line was only two or three divisions, and the strength of the 10th Army of the Island Army plus the 12th Army withdrawn from the Huainan Island Army was less than half, so the intention of Commander-in-Chief Jiang was to wait for all the troops on the Bozhou defense line of the 10th Army to be transferred to the Suqian front. And the reason why Commander-in-Chief Chiang is sure that the island army will do this is all here......"
Mr. Lin said that the command pole fell on Mengcheng, and continued: "At this time, the position of Mengcheng is already relatively forward, from the compactness of the defense line, the island army should not still defend Mengcheng at this time, the only explanation is that for the besieged Twelfth Army, in order to ensure that the effect of the response can be achieved at the critical moment, the island army must continue to increase troops on this defense line, and this is what Commander-in-Chief Jiang wants to see, and it is also the fundamental reason why he issued the order to suspend the attack. ”
Mr. Lin retracted the command pole as he spoke, stood on the command platform with both hands and continued: "I believe everyone can see it, maybe in two days, the Suqian front will gather all the 10th Army of the Island Army plus a division of the 12th Army, a total of seven divisions, plus a certain number of puppet troops, the strength of the army is probably close to 300,000, if the war goes well, the 300,000 army is a force to be reckoned with, but if the war does not go well, it will be a disaster to retreat." But the intention of the island army is already very obvious, that is, they are unwilling to be destroyed by the twelfth army, which dooms them to a defeat. Especially now that the railway has been paralyzed, all personnel and materials rely on two legs, you can imagine, our army now has two tank divisions in the forefront, more comprehensive air supremacy, fighter planes, bombers are innumerable, and there are hundreds of armed helicopters, if these weapons are used to open the way, a large number of infantry all the way up, what kind of scene should it be, our army is sandwiched by the fleeing island army along the Jinpu line all the way to pursue, straight to Jinan. Speaking of which, I thought, without me going on, everyone should understand, right? ”
As soon as Mr. Lin's voice fell, there was a warm applause in the command headquarters, obviously, they all agreed with Mr. Lin's statement, this simple explanation, idiots can see that the recovery of Shandong is no longer "possible", but just in front of them, this soldier is directed at Jinan, the island army has no place in Shandong, if they are smart enough, then they should immediately withdraw from the south bank of the Yellow River, and use the Yellow River as a barrier to block the menacing squadron.
At this point, Bai Chongxi's bet was even lost in his underwear, and he didn't even have a chance to refute, no one thought that he should be angry and mess around, but to everyone's surprise, he actually calmly stretched out his right hand to Jiang Haoran, expressing his willingness to gamble and lose, and in the future war, Jiang Haoran can fight and mobilize troops as much as he wants, and he has no objection.
After shaking hands with Jiang Haoran, he stretched out his hand to Mr. Lin again, on the one hand, he expressed his congratulations and admiration to Mr. Lin, and on the other hand, he was amazed that there was still a master like Mr. Lin in Yan'an, which was on par with Commander-in-Chief Jiang.
It sounds like a compliment, but a discerning person knows that this is a warning to Jiang Haoran that it's time to beware of the people of Yan'an.
Bai Chongxi's conversion, Jiang Haoran naturally can't do it, this is exactly what he lacks, as a politician, he should be like Bai Chongxi, no matter how stormy you are, he can still be exquisite.
But Jiang Haoran also has his strengths, that is, daring to ask. The tank division of the 21 st Group Army was immediately placed under the command of the special operations division for the time being, so that it could better carry out the pursuit mission in the future.
In this regard, Bai Chongxi and Li Zongjian exchanged opinions, but reluctantly agreed, after all, there was a gambling contract just now, and at the same time, this is indeed the need of the war. The battle of northern Anhui fully shows that these tanks can only be of maximum use when they are in the hands of Jiang Haoran.
It's just that Bai Chongxi and Li Zongjian didn't expect that as soon as this tank division was seconded, it would become Liu Bei's borrowing from Jingzhou to borrow or not.
This goal has been achieved, but Jiang Haoran still has the following, he asked the Soviet Union to assist the tanks, Katyusha rocket artillery these sharp weapons must also be handed over to him, at the same time, urgently form a tank division, this is not only related to the success or failure of the current battle, but also related to the next stage of the campaign, if there are not enough tanks galloping in the vast North China Plain, how lonely should the island army be?
Speaking of this, Li Zongjian immediately became nervous, and said, "This...... Ziqian, that's the case, during this period of time, the Soviet Union's aid to China added up to only forty or fifty tanks, and it was reluctant to form a regiment, let alone form a division, I think otherwise, for the time being, these dozens of tanks will be incorporated into the Second Tank Division (the number of the Tank Division of the 21st Group Army), and they will be handed over to you for the time being, and you will also have the First Tank Division (the number of the Black Tiger Tank Division, later reorganized), and the two divisions should be enough to deal with the current campaign. ”
"Huh!" Jiang Haoran said with a smile: "President, do you know that the tanks of my first division are all heavy tanks, although the firepower is sufficient and the armor is thick, but it is far less mobile and flexible than medium tanks, and the battle in front of you is not a duel with the enemy's tanks, but a multi-way attack to deal with the infantry of the little devils, the key is 'fast', so it is urgent to form a tank division composed of medium tanks." ”
Li Zongjian spread his hands and said helplessly: "The key is that I don't have a tank in my hand, and the formation of a tank division must also have personnel and logistics support, I don't have any, if there is, I would be happy." ”
"Really?"
"Really!"
Jiang Haoran smiled and said, "Then ask the president to give me the establishment of the Third Tank Division, I have all of these." ”
"Ah......h
Li Zongjian was immediately petrified.
Jiang Haoran went around in such a big circle, in fact, he just wanted an establishment, although now the Ministry of Finance has stopped the military salaries of the troops under him, this establishment is not so important to him, but at least the division is famous, just like the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, although they did not get the military salaries, weapons and equipment they should have from the national government, but at least they are regular troops.
