Chapter 202: The Battle of Nanjing (Han Xin's Strategy)

Just when the core brothers of the 388 regiment were holding their hearts, Han Xin finally told his story and explained his plan.

"After receiving the order that we should be responsible for guarding the left flank position, I have studied the left flank position.

This left flank position included three lines, Tianlong Temple, Andemen, and the Sericulture Experimental Field, with a depth of about five kilometers before and after, and the brigade commander Zhu Chi divided each line into three sections of defense line.

So we have enough distance to deal with the enemy.

After the start of the war, my request to everyone is that we keep most of the baggage firepower and transfer it all to the area around Tenryuji Temple.

And then at the very beginning of the battle to show weakness.

And I speculate that there are undoubtedly two plans for the Japanese army's attack, one is to advance in all directions at the same time, and the other is to choose a point to concentrate forces to attack.

But no matter which way the little devil takes, it won't affect my plans.

First, if they choose to advance in all directions at the same time, the weak resistance of the left flank position will soon become apparent in the three major positions, given that we have kept most of our baggage and only one regiment to defend it.

At that time, the little devil will definitely take the first plan again, concentrating his forces to attack the left flank position.

At that time, we can adopt a war of movement, fight and retreat at the same time, try to introduce the little devils into the hinterland of the left flank position, and delay the little devils, and give the reinforcements from the central position and the right flank position time to support.

After the encirclement formation is formed, we don't need to spare any more hands, and all the baggage firepower will be struck, and the little devil will definitely be caught off guard, and victory will be within reach.

Second, if they concentrate their forces and choose a little attack, and choose our left flank position, then proceed according to the original plan.

If they choose the central position or the right-flank position, we only need to stand still, and when the little devils suffer losses, they will naturally choose a weak point to break through, and then our opportunity will still come.

Therefore, once our plan succeeds, even if the arms are exposed and we have military exploits to protect ourselves, absolutely no one can blame us. ”

"Awesome, regimental commander, every time I listen to you arrange a battle, it's like appreciating an artist creating, admire!"

"Less sycophants." Han Xin glared at Zhou Daolong with a smile, causing everyone to laugh together, and then continued:

"There are also some specific deployments to explain to you, this defensive war is fought at the right time and place, and we must make full use of this advantage of waiting for work.

I have already learned that this Tianlong Temple, Andemen, and the Silk Experimental Field are all very good natural barriers, and of course we can add some barriers.

Let's start with my specific thoughts! Our regiment is almost 4000 people, there are three battalions, nine companies.

And this left flank position is divided into three lines, distributed in depth, each line has three small defensive lines, so it is just right that a company of about 400 men and horses is arranged.

But remember, what I need is for you to show weakness to the enemy, to fight a war of movement, not to send you to death.

Therefore, as soon as the enemy's artillery fire is fierce, immediately withdraw to the follow-up line of defense, and follow the plan I said before.

In addition, we need to set up some trap barriers to help everyone defend.

For example, in front of sandbag fortifications, anti-tank trenches, barbed wire, minefields, machine-gun bunkers, cement pillboxes, etc.

Anyway, it is to stop the march of the Japanese army by all means, Guangwei, this is up to you. ”

"Don't worry, head of the group, I have experience in this!" Lu Guangwei nodded.

"Well, also, break up the machine gun company and divide it into various small defense lines, and transfer the mortar squad, grenadier squad, infantry artillery squad, etc. to Tianlong Temple, and wait for my order."

After Han Xin finished speaking, a trace of remembrance suddenly flashed in his eyes, and then he looked at Yang Wang and asked, "By the way, Brother Yang, has the team I asked you to form have been formed?"

"Well, the regiment commander, they are all formed, the squad has a total of 30 people, all of them are carefully selected by me, according to your requirements, accurate marksmanship, fast response, mental stability, flexible mind, in addition, everyone is equipped with a self-defense pistol, ten light machine guns, and other material equipment is twice as much as that of ordinary soldiers."

"By the way, Commander, why don't you give the squad another name! It's good to boost everyone's morale. ”

Han Xin pondered for a moment, and then recalled: "Then call the 388th Regiment Special Operations Squad!"

"Special Forces?"

Han Xin's body trembled, but finally nodded slightly.

"Also, I'll let you explain everything to everyone! After joining the special combat team, life and death are not up to you, but all by the destiny of heaven.

Compared to ordinary fighters, the mortality rate of the special combat team is several times higher, and I hope you have not hidden this. ”

Yang Wang nodded without hesitation, "Don't worry, head of the group, everything has been explained, one by one, everyone is voluntary." ”

Han Xin nodded, and did not doubt it anymore, this is also a very understandable thing.

For soldiers, the most precious thing is glory and recognition, and this special combat team is like a special forces in later generations, although the mortality rate is much higher than that of a normal profession, and even the hard work is abnormal, but in this place that symbolizes glory, there are still people who want to enter.

During this period, the concept of special combat team on the part of the national army was not very clear, and everyone only regarded it as a new word coined by Han Xin.

However, Yang Wang and the others are also generals of the Thousand Army, so they naturally have a certain eyesight, and they also see that this team may have some unusual significance.

"Commander, what did you set up this team for?" It was the outspoken Zhou Dalong who asked the first question.

Han Xin didn't hide it, and said with a smile: "To use it as a surprise soldier, it has the effect of four or two thousand catties."

"I don't understand!" Zhou Dalong shook his head with a wry smile, and didn't ask any more questions, this head of the regiment really had too many novel ideas for him to understand.

And when he got here, Han Xin's plan was basically finished, and he then disbanded everyone and asked everyone to arrange in advance, because the big war was coming.

……

On the 3rd, the Japanese troops began to advance to Nanjing.

Tang Shengzhi, the commander-in-chief of the garrison, who took office, immediately made hasty deployments:

In the south of Nanjing, the area of Zhonghua Gate, Yuhuatai and Huangshan Mountain was guarded by Sun Yuanliang's 72nd Army.

In the north of the city, the Shogunate Mountain Pass and the Peace Gate and Xuanwu Lake were guarded by Song Xilian's 78th Army.

The area from Zhongshan Gate to Xuanwu Lake in the east of the city was guarded by Gui Yongqing's teaching corps.

The area of Mochou Lake and Qingliang Mountain in the east of the city is guarded by the military police regiment of Xiaoshan Order.

At this point, the deployment of the national army has been completed, and a big battle, the battle to defend the capital Nanjing, is about to kick off under the attention of the world and all directions.
