Chapter 1463: Attack on all fronts
The enemy came prepared, obviously did not intend to give the airborne division a good time, now that half of the troops have gone down, it is impossible to take it back, Jiang Haoran only has to be in a hurry.
Moreover, the second problem immediately followed, the second batch of airborne troops had already flown to the periphery of Langfang, whether to continue to throw the remaining half of the soldiers down, or to stop and end the mission became Jiang Haoran's biggest headache.
Go ahead, shall we? I don't know what the situation is below, if I don't know it, I will send sheep into the tiger's mouth, and even these thousands of people will get in. Let's stop and end the mission, right? The thousands of people who have already gone down will have only one way to die.
It's really a dilemma, Jiang Haoran is so anxious that he just doesn't have the courage to make this decision.
"You can't continue to throw, the enemy is obviously prepared to mount the entire airborne division, and continuing can only be a rat thrower." Bai Chongxi said.
"General seat, you have to believe in the combat effectiveness of the airborne division and Liu Xianwei's ability, while the enemy has not launched a large-scale attack on the airborne area, as soon as possible to airdrop the remaining troops, only the whole division has gone down, Liu Xianwei and they may still have a way to live, and even with their tenacious will to fight and invincible combat effectiveness to complete this mission, on the contrary, the whole operation ended in failure, Liu Xianwei and they have only a dead end." Cold as frost gushing.
Hearing this amazing news, Leng Rushuang and Lin Long also hurried to the war room.
When these two representative suggestions came out, two voices immediately split out in the war room, the vast majority of those who supported Bai Chongxi to give up the action, and only Lin Long and a few senior staff members supported Leng Rufrost.
The two groups of people expressed their opinions and made a noise, and the entire war room instantly turned into a vegetable market.
Jiang Haoran stayed out of the matter, sat in a corner and began to smoke, one after another.
Time flies, more than ten minutes have passed in a blink of an eye, the debate is still ongoing, Jiang Haoran still can't make this decision, this is his fist troops, the sharpest teeth, the loss of half of it can make his heart tremble, if he wants to smash the whole division into it, this decision is really not easy to make.
Soon, the time came when he had to make a decision, the plane ran out of fuel because it had been circling for too long, and if he didn't make a decision, he could only return, and once he returned, the chance of a second airdrop was almost zero.
The argument stopped in the war room, everyone's eyes were on Jiang Haoran, and the room suddenly fell silent, only to hear the sound of a "knock" heartbeat, and everyone's hearts were in their throats, just waiting for Jiang Haoran to make this decision.
Jiang Haoran's eyes were like torches, the beads of sweat on his face were rolling down, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly because the masseter muscles were biting too tightly, and suddenly, he waved his clenched fists and roared hoarsely: "Continue to airborne and throw it all to Lao Tzu!" ”
There was an uproar in the war room, but the order was also sent out as quickly as possible under the constant urging of Leng Rushuang and Lin Long.
"Order, attack on all fronts! The Special Operations Division, the 3rd Tank Division, and the 4th Tank Division are attacking the enemy's defense line in Baxian with all their might, and I will hear the news of the fall of the defense line before dawn. Jiang Haoran gave a second order.
……
Ba County, the former enemy headquarters of the 43rd Group Army.
After the 43rd Group Army captured Hejian, the troops were placed in the forward position and became the main attack, and Lu Erniu also became the commander-in-chief of the former enemy in this campaign.
At this moment, the stars in the command headquarters are shining, in addition to Lu Erniu, Su Canwu, Wang Dingyuan of the 43rd Group Army, and the division commanders such as Ma Jiucheng and Hu Yunqing below, as well as Chu Zhongtian, Yang Changshun, Hu Xiqun and other generals, but without exception, they are all sighing and full of anxiety.
Of course, they all know what happened to the airborne division in Langfang, it is only a hundred miles away from Baxian to Langfang, if you can quickly break through the defense line of Baxian County, it may be the only way to save the airborne division.
"It's coming, it's coming, the order from the head office has come down, it's an attack on all fronts, it's an attack on all fronts!" A staff officer howled excitedly as he brandished a message.
The headquarters suddenly cheered, and they all came forward to watch the content of the telegram, Lu Erniu hurriedly browsed and said: "The order of the headquarters is to attack immediately, and before dawn we must tear through the enemy's defense line and enter it." Next, I order Yang Changshun's 3rd Tank Division and Hu Xiqun's 4th Tank Division to be the vanguard and set off immediately. ”
"Yes!" Yang Changshun and Hu Xiqun stepped forward and replied, and then walked out of the headquarters quickly.
Lu Erniu continued: "Order, Ma Jiucheng's new 14th and Hu Yunqing's new 15th divisions cooperate with the tank troops to attack. ”
"Yes, Commander!" Ma Jiucheng and Hu Yunqing stepped forward to answer the promise, turned around and walked out of the headquarters.
"The artillery regiment and rocket artillery battalion provide fire support to the attacking troops, and the other units immediately enter a state of first-class combat readiness and are ready to go to the battlefield at any time."
With an order, all the generals responded with a bang, and walked out of the headquarters one by one.
Chu Zhongtian stayed, looked at Lu Erniu and said unceremoniously: "I said Lu Dabeard, you dare to disobey the order of the general seat?" ”
Although Lu Erniu is the commander of the group army, Chu Zhongtian is a person who can walk sideways in the Nanshan Army, and he has a sense of superiority in front of many people, let alone this Lu Erniu, who is a monk halfway.
Lu Erniu turned the two copper bell eyes, and pretended to be confused: "No, how dare I disobey the order of the general seat?" ”
Chu Zhongtian said aggressively: "I also said no, I clearly saw that the order of the general seat was that my special operations division was the main attack, but you pulled the new 14th Division and the new 15th Division up, and changed the order of the general seat without permission, you are too bold, right?" ”
Although Chu Zhongtian's tone was obviously unfriendly, Lu Erniu didn't care at all, scratched his head, and sneered: "You saw it all?" Hehe, Division Commander Chu, let me tell you this, there is a problem with this order in the general seat, it is estimated that he is in a hurry, what kind of unit is the special operations division? Can the head seat allow you to fight a tough battle and a war of attrition? Who knows how fierce the enemy's artillery fire is at the front, and if one of you is not careful, and causes too many casualties to you, the general seat will not tear me apart? So, Senior Commander Chu, you can be the second echelon with peace of mind, and once the front attack is unfavorable, you will immediately pounce on it, and you will not delay the affairs of the general seat, which is also a kind of protection for you and me. ”
Lu Erniu's words were sincere and reasonable, Chu Zhongtian was not the kind of person who didn't know what to do, although he was a little embarrassed to disobey the order of the general seat, but he didn't say anything more, turned around and walked out of the command headquarters. In fact, he was also skeptical of Jiang Haoran's order, and the special operations division was indeed not suitable for a large-scale war of attrition.
Facts have proved that Lu Erniu was right, the cruelty and difficulty of the next battle greatly exceeded everyone's imagination, and the enemy's defense line was far from being as simple as everyone imagined.
