"After the death squad of the 2nd Battalion of the 211th Regiment broke through the enemy's defensive line at night, inflicted a large number of casualties on the enemy and occupied the enemy's forward position for three hours. www.biquge.info Due to the lack of follow-up and the lack of ammunition and food, the captain of the death squad, Yang Jihu, the commander of the fifth company of the second battalion of the 211th regiment, a total of 99 people were killed, and all of them were killed......"

"Bang!" There was a loud bang that shook everyone in the command. Liang Jianbin looked up and saw Jiang Shan's face pale, and his eyes were red staring at the thin telegraph in the operator's hand.

Jiang Shan's reaction frightened the young newspaper operator, and he stood stunned, looking at the unfinished message in his hand, and was a little overwhelmed for a while.

Jiang Shan took several deep breaths before calming down his mood and said to the operator: "Keep reading." ”

Liang Jianbin took the message from the operator, read it carefully, and waved his hand to signal the other party to retreat first.

"Are you sure you want to listen to it more?" Liang Jianbin looked at Jiangshan and said softly. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the next thing is definitely not good news, the death squad that the 211 regiment has put together with all its might is gone, and the follow-up impact is simply immeasurable.

The strength of the second battalion of the 211th Regiment was already stretched, and the death squad of 100 people had already been put together. After eating this death squad, the Japanese army was bound to quickly counterattack and launch a counter-assault on the existing positions of the 2nd Battalion of the 211th Regiment. According to the current strength comparison of the two sides, the result does not need to be thought about to know that the position of the second battalion of the 211th regiment may have been broken through by the Japanese army.

If only the position of the second battalion is broken through, then the consequences are still within the controllable range, but what Jiang Shan is most worried about is that once the Japanese army opens a breakthrough in the position of the 211th regiment, they will definitely not let go of this opportunity, and they will be like a nail, firmly nailed to this opening. And the Japanese troops in other directions will also pounce towards this breakthrough like sharks smelling blood. At that time, the 211th Regiment was not facing an Uemura detachment.

If the 211th Regiment was able to support itself with the cooperation of other brother units in the face of the hastily arrived Uemura Detachment, then in the face of the swarming Japanese 6th Division, 33rd Division and 101st Division, it was simply impossible to expect them to hold the defensive line. Even if the Japanese soldiers were divided into several routes, and did not concentrate all their forces to attack this breakthrough, the 211th Regiment, which was short of men and horses, lacked food and ammunition, and suffered serious combat attrition, was afraid that it would not be able to withstand the impact of even one brigade of the Japanese army.

Once the defense line of the 211th Regiment was broken through, the defense lines of the Xinqiang River and Laodao River that the Chinese army had painstakingly built would become a papier-mâché window, and the Japanese army would only need a little force to break through quickly. At that time, let alone eating the Hatian detachment, I am afraid that even Xue Yue's Ninth Theater Command will also open the door in front of the Japanese army. The chain reaction brought about by this is probably that the theater headquarters was eaten by the Japanese army, and the ninth theater was completely lost its command from then on, and the Japanese army took advantage of the situation to capture Changsha......

Jiang Shan shook his head vigorously, and temporarily shook this terrible thought aside. Now is not the time to think about this, but to quickly adjust countermeasures and remedy the situation.

"Why don't you pull a regiment up and support the 211 regiment?" Liang Jianbin frowned and put forward his own suggestion. However, this suggestion was rejected by Jiang Shan in an instant: "Pulling up one regiment after another will only consume the superior firepower of the Japanese army in vain, and it will not help at all." This is a typical thankless tactic, let's not do this loss-making business! ”

Jiang Shan frowned, staring at the defensive situation map of the 211th Regiment on the combat map. Suddenly, he asked the combat staff officer beside him: "Can you be sure how many Japanese troops broke through the position of the 211th Regiment?" ”

"Only the Uemura detachment!" The combat staff officer of the Sixth Brigade of the Independent Brigade did not eat dry food, and after thinking about it briefly, he quickly gave Jiang Shan an answer.

"Uemura detachment...... Uemura detachment...... Can you be sure that there is only the Uemura detachment? Jiang Shan asked.

"Sure! According to the battle report issued by the Intelligence Department of the Ninth Theater, the main force of the Japanese Sixth Division had just assembled in Wuhan yesterday, and the Nara detachment had only set off from Gao'an today. According to conservative estimates, the arrival of the 6th Division and the Nara detachment at the positions of the 211th Regiment will not be until dawn tomorrow. Only the Uemura detachment, since it had always been the vanguard of the Japanese army, had been cruising along the defense line of the Laodao River and the Xinqiang River for the past two days, making exploratory attacks and looking for weak points in our army's defense line. Therefore, after the Hatian detachment was surrounded, they became the closest Japanese unit to the Hatada detachment. ”

Jiangshan's eyes lit up, and he quickly found the location of the Uemura detachment on the combat map. After carefully observing it for a while, he couldn't help but smile: "Good! This Uemura detachment is well here! Since you dare to come, then Lao Tzu will dare to leave you here! ”

Everyone in the command headquarters was stunned when they heard this, and when they heard the meaning revealed by Jiang Shanhua, he actually wanted to eat the Shangcun detachment in one bite!

Liang Jianbin hurriedly said: "I said Lao Jiang, what do you mean?" You want to eat the Uemura detachment? ”

Jiang Shan laughed and beckoned everyone: "The Shangcun detachment is in a hurry to join in the fun, of course we have to prepare a big gift for them!" Come on, come on, everyone is around, let's sum it up together, how can we leave this Shangcun detachment on the edge of the Xinqiang River! ”

Liang Jianbin and several operational staff officers hurriedly surrounded him. Jiang Shan pointed to the map with his finger and said: "You see, this is the defense line of the 211th Regiment, at present, the middle of the defense line, that is, the position of the second battalion of the 211th Regiment, has been broken through by the Shangcun detachment, right?" ”

Guys, you look at me, I'll look at you, and then they all nodded in unison. The Uemura detachment had broken through the line of defense and, like a fishbone, kept the Chinese defenders in the throat, this is an ironclad fact, and there is nothing to doubt about it.

Looking at the confused crowd, Jiang Shan smiled slightly and continued to ask: "Can anyone tell me that after the Shangcun detachment broke through the defensive line, why didn't it take advantage of the situation to make a surprise attack, completely chiseled through the defense line built by Yang Hanyu and Xia Shouxun in one fell swoop, and moved closer to the besieged Botian detachment, but stopped to consolidate the position and wait for the follow-up of other Japanese troops?" ”

Liang Jianbin and the others were stunned for a moment, and then fell into thought. After a while, an operational staff officer whispered: "Could it be that the Uemura detachment wants to hold the breakthrough and open a passage for the follow-up troops of the Japanese army?" ”

Jiang Shan shook his head and asked with a smile: "This reason is not valid!" ”

The combat staff officer who had the courage to speak was stunned for a moment, and then asked unconvinced: "Why is it not established?" Once the Kamimura detachment continues to assault forward, the defense lines on the left and right sides of the 211th Regiment can immediately shrink to the center and re-block the breach. In this way, the retreat of the Uemura detachment will be completely cut off, and they will become a lone army, just like the Hatada detachment. ”

Jiang Shan said patiently: "You are right, but you forgot one thing - the 211th Regiment can shrink the defensive line, but can they block the onslaught of the Japanese Sixth Division and the Nara Detachment at dawn tomorrow?" I say that this reason is not valid, and it is based on the following judgments: First, the Hatada detachment has been surrounded by us for two days, and according to the current situation, even if the Sixth Division and the Nara detachment break through the defense line of Yang Hanyu and Xia Shouxun's troops and make peace with the Hatian detachment, it will not be until tomorrow evening at the earliest. The Botian detachment will not be able to hold out at that time, and in the case of isolation, Situ Rui will gnaw the Botian detachment to the point that there is no scum left by noon tomorrow at the latest! Let an entire detachment be eaten by the Chinese army, the devil will definitely not be so generous. In addition, you have overlooked the most important point......" Speaking of this, Jiang Shan suddenly stopped and sold Guanzi.

Everyone was teased by him, but he intended to sell Guanzi, Liang Jianbin hurriedly said: "Okay Lao Jiang, don't sell Guanzi at this time, which is the most important point we have overlooked?" Say it quickly. ”

Jiang Shan was not in a hurry, and after taking a leisurely sip of the water cup, he smacked his lips before he said with a smile: "You ignored the bait we put out!" ”

"Bait? What do you mean? Everyone was stunned.

"Yes, bait! Let's use it as bait for the Hatada detachment! Now it seems that not only did I catch the small trash fish of the Hatian detachment, but I am afraid I also caught a heavier big fish! Jiang Shan said patiently: "In order to meet a Potian detachment, there is no need for the Japanese army to make a big move, and mobilize the 6th Division, the 33rd Division, and the 106th Division, they only need to order the Botian detachment to retreat sharply, look for a weak point in our army's defense line, and send a division or even a brigade to respond." The Japanese army is now overwhelmed, and there is only one possibility - the bait bitten by the Harata detachment is also a great temptation for Okamura Ninji, an old devil! He wanted to finish his work in one battle, end the headquarters of the Ninth Theater Commander, and lay the foundation for the Battle of Changsha! ”

"However, in this case, the Uemura detachment should take advantage of the situation to assault and quickly form a clamp with the Hatada detachment to form a clamp on the headquarters of the commander of the ninth theater. What does it mean that they are standing still now? Aren't you afraid that the Botian detachment will startle the snake and transfer the headquarters of the commander of the ninth theater? Liang Jianbin thought about it along the lines of thought and was completely confused.

"It's not that they don't want to continue to advance, it's that the follow-up is weak and can't move!" Jiang Shan slapped the map hard and said categorically.
