Chapter 1378: Interspersed with surprise attacks
Just when the Liangguang Campaign was in full swing, the Pingjin Campaign was also full of smoke.
However, it is only the smoke everywhere, the entire defense line is shelled every day, aircraft bombing, there is no substantive offensive, the Chinese army does not take the initiative to attack, as the defending side of the island army will naturally not be in a hurry, the two sides are ping pong bombing every day, it has become a habit.
Shanxi Defense Line, the joint headquarters of the Eighth Army and the Ninth Army of the National Army.
"Fuck it, this bullshit battle, it ends with throwing dozens of tons of shells every day, Jiang Haoran can't afford to make these losers' stuff no matter how big he is." Mr. Zhu, the former commander-in-chief of the enemy, smashed his hat on the table with hatred and scolded.
"Hehe, boss, don't wronged Bai Chongxi, maybe this is Jiang Haoran's idea." Mr. Lin on the side replied with a smile.
Mr. Zhu suddenly became a little embarrassed, and sat down angrily, which caused a burst of chuckles in the command headquarters.
Jiang Haoran is right, for this campaign, Yan'an really transferred all the generals who can fight well, in addition to Mr. Zhu and Mr. Lin, there are also Mr. He, Mr. Xu, Mr. Ye, Mr. Su and other senior generals.
Although Bai Chongxi's intentions are well known, but as Jiang Haoran said, the people of Yan'an did not complain or be discouraged because of this, and they agreed that this was the best opportunity to prove themselves.
In the past, when the Eighth Route Army was in the past, they could say that they had nothing, even food and clothing were a problem, and their weapons and equipment were even more backward, so they were never afraid of anyone, and they never had any stage fright when fighting with little devils and reactionaries.
Now they are all there, two sets of military uniforms per person, all of them have been changed, the guns are AK47, medium formal, all are brand new, the support firepower is equipped to the platoon, a division down, casually there are hundreds of artillery fire at all levels, the division headquarters is also equipped with a tank company, more than a dozen small and medium-sized tank armored vehicles, the group army headquarters is also equipped with a helicopter brigade, more than 30 armed helicopters, with these guys in their hands, who are they afraid of? None of them are afraid.
Datong is the second largest city in Shanxi Province, located in the center of the Datong Basin in the north of Shanxi Province, the junction of the three provinces and regions of Shanxi, Hebei and Mongolia, and the northeast edge of the Loess Plateau.
It is precisely because the geographical location of Datong is extremely important and the defensive strength of the island army is not weak, that two divisions of the island army and five Soviet puppet divisions have been placed on the front line of Datong alone, with a strength of nearly 100,000.
There is also the second line of defense from Jining to Zhangjiakou in the rear, and the defensive strength is only a lot more, especially Zhangjiakou, the last barrier to enter Beiping, and the island army is heavily guarded, so Mr. Zhu They want to open the gap from now on to come to Beiping City, it is really not an easy thing, just courage and courage are not enough, but also have to show real skills.
"No, we can't play with these losers, we have to change our strategy." Mr. Zhu knocked on the table and said.
Mr. Lin seconded the proposal: "Yes, there is a feint attack in front of us, and it is also for others to see, but the Pingjin Campaign is to be fought after all, we have no experience in attacking fortifications, and it is time to attack on all fronts, if we drag the campaign back, it will be prestigious." ”
"Doesn't that mean there's already a good way?" Mr. Ye asked with a smile.
Mr. Zhu and Mr. Lin glanced at each other, and Mr. Zhu said, "Mr. Lin, you should tell them." ”
Mr. Lin got up and said, "I did discuss a set of plans with Mr. Zhu, but it was a bit risky, but if it succeeded, it would be much easier for us in the next battle." ”
As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately became interested, and all the people gathered around, waiting to listen to Mr. Lin's next words.
Mr. Lin collected a few teacups from the table, it seems that he is going to use the teacup instead of the map, he is from a professional class, and there is no problem with the map homework, but there are still many people in the team who are used to this, in order to make everyone understand, it is more practical to use the teacup.
Mr. Lin put the three teacups in the shape of "Pin", and said: "The front one is Datong, the main offensive defense line in front of us, the enemy's troop configuration is two divisions, five Soviet puppet divisions, about 100,000 troops, the defense line is more than 60 miles long, it is difficult to tear through their defense line against our army head-on, and it is said that one of the five Soviet puppet divisions is a tank division. We all know that the city walls of Datong are strong, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the island army has been preparing for several months, the fortifications must have been very perfect, our army not only has no experience in attacking fortifications, but also has no experience in facing tank clusters, even if the frontal breakthrough can be successful, I am afraid that we will have to pay a heavy price for casualties, so Mr. Zhu and I thought of a way a few days ago to knock out a corner of the island army's golden triangle defense system. ”
As he spoke, Mr. Lin removed a teacup from the rear right of the representative Datong, and the scene was suddenly in an uproar.
Mr. He exclaimed: "Jining, do you mean that we attacked Jining?" ”
"That's right, surprise attack on Jining." Mr. Lin replied with certainty: "As far as we know, the enemy's strength in Jining is the weakest, but one wing of the island army plus a Soviet puppet division, which increases the possibility of a surprise attack for us." ”
Mr. Lin said, added a few teacups to the table, and continued with a painting: "Datong is a hundred miles north of Liangcheng, which has exceeded the scope of the Datong defense line for dozens of miles, this area belongs to the Yinshan Mountain Range, there are many mountains and undulating, the terrain is more complicated, because it belongs to the perennial arid zone, so it is sparsely populated, the most important thing is that there is a road from here that can pass through the Yinshan Mountain Range and go straight to Jining, what Mr. Zhu and I mean is to send two divisions plus a number of cavalry, directly interspersed with Jining occupied. ”
As soon as Mr. Lin's voice stopped, he immediately got a cheer, all of them were battlefield generals, and they could see the power at a glance, once our army captured Jining, Fengzhen and Longshengzhuang could be sent to the southeast. Outflanking and attacking Datong from the rear and attacking the rear of the island army can greatly reduce the risk of a frontal confrontation with the Datong island army. To the east, troops can be sent to Shangyi and Zhangbei to directly threaten Zhangjiakou, and the entire Golden Triangle defense line of the island army will be completely broken.
Of course, there are also risks, first, the large army is running for a long distance, and it is difficult to guarantee logistics; second, the strength of the island army in Zhangjiakou is not weak, and the rush to help Jining can completely relieve the siege; third, if the frontal attack of Datong is deadlocked and drags on for too long, the situation of the two divisions interspersed will be unpredictable.
