Chapter 44 Sword Finger with Jujube (2)
Now, the military committee has issued another order to attack Nanchang, but the troops have not yet been replenished, the logistics are still lacking in supply, and in addition to some gaps that existed before, it is still a situation in which the enemy is strong and we are weak. This battle is not easy to fight! The Southern Expeditionary Army has already played its due role, and it doesn't make much sense to pull them into the water again.
Xue Yue waved his hand to Han Xing and said, "Let's go, you have done your best, it really doesn't make much sense to stay any longer." This battle to defend Nanchang was actually not fought well? It's a mess......"
Thinking of the Battle of Nanchang a while ago, Xue Yue was a little blocked, and with the strength of wine, he complained.
Han Xing had long wanted to hear how Xue Yue would have commanded this war without the interference from above. Han Xing said unhurriedly: "I know that Commander Xue's situation is very difficult, with interference from above, a large number of troops below, inconsistent government orders, serious shortages, and poor supply. However, if the command of this war is handed over to Xue Lao, how will you command this battle for the defense of Nanchang? ”
With the strength of wine, Xue Yue said: "What is the most taboo thing in a war, that is, the division of troops. In the battle to defend Nanchang, we deployed our main force on the front line of repairing water, a record of hundreds of miles, and we could not defend it, and we could not concentrate our troops to fight, and we made the first mistake. ”
"What are you going to do if you command?" Han Xing guided him and said.
"If you want to say to me," Xue Yue straightened his waist confidently, "just concentrate our main forces on the north side of Nanchang, concentrate them into two mobile groups, make a defensive offensive, and wait for the little devils to attack." If the little devil attacks the left-wing group, then the left wing defends, and the right-wing group attacks, resulting in a flanking attack. If the little devil attacks the right-wing group, he will defend on the right wing, and the left-wing group will attack, which will also cause a flanking attack. Besides, the situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, and the enemy has changed and we have changed. ”
Han Xing stammered and said, "That's the second Wanjialing Battle." ”
Xue Yue also said: "Some people have errors in judging the overall situation. Taking the question of who is stronger and who is weaker on both sides, in fact, there are indeed various deficiencies between the Chinese army and the Japanese army, and the most important gap is the gap between the equipment and the combat strength of the army.
According to this gap, the Chinese army is not yet able to fight hard with the Japanese army, that is, it is just blindly fighting positional warfare. I am in favor of some of the tactics of the Eighth Route Army, that is, to concentrate superior forces and fight a war of movement. But this is too difficult, although some people do not care about the gains and losses of a city and a place, in fact, they care most about the gains and losses of a city and a place. ”
Han Xing couldn't stop nodding his head when he heard Xue Yue's words, supporting him to continue. Xue Yue said that some people must be Chairman Jiang, and for fear of causing unnecessary trouble, he said that Chairman Jiang was some people.
Xue Yue continued: "Originally, this Nanchang defense battle was passive enough, not to mention the loss of the strategic place of Nanchang, and it also caused heavy casualties. In the case that the situation on both sides has not improved dramatically, do you have the ability to attack Nanchang again? I don't think so. It is better to organize a few decent battles of annihilation, consume and consume the strength of the Japanese army, and wait until the conditions are ripe. ”
Han Xing nodded again and again when he heard this, and said, "It's really better to listen to Xue Lao's words, it's better than reading a book for ten years!" ”
Xue Yue smiled again and said to Han Xing: "You little slippery head, don't just listen to me, you also tell me your opinion?" ”
Han Xing lost no time in saying: "I very much agree with Xue Lao's point of view, that is, when the enemy is strong and I am weak, we should continue to fight sports warfare, constantly consume the enemy army, and do not fight to the death with the Japanese army. According to the characteristics of our Southern Expeditionary Army, there is still a place where our Southern Expeditionary Army needs to attack and support. ”
Xue Yue's eyes lit up and said, "Where?" I just thought that as soon as you Southern Expeditionary Army heard about the attack on Nanchang, did you want to go backwards? It turns out that you have a new battle goal? ”
Han Xing nodded and said, "Yes, our Southern Expeditionary Army is attacking the outside line just to fight Japan." However, we have our characteristics, which are not suitable for positional warfare and attrition with little devils, and we have our own methods of warfare? ”
Xue Yue smiled again and said, "Tell me, where are you going?" ”
Han Xing said unhurriedly: "That's the case, didn't the Chinese army launch the 'April Offensive' in various theaters, with a positive attitude, constantly harassing the enemy and then pinning down the Japanese army. In the 5th Theater, the Nationalist Army attacked the southern section of the Pinghan Railway from the east and west, pressing the Japanese flank.
In order to consolidate Wuhan and the surrounding occupied areas, the 11th Group Army of the Central China Front of the Japanese Army ordered Okamura Ninji to command the 3rd Division, the 13th Division, the 16th Division and the 4th Cavalry Brigade to launch an attack in the direction of Tongbai, Suixian and Zaoyang from the line of Xinyang, Yingshan and Zhongxiang, intending to encircle and annihilate the main force of the 5th Theater of the Nationalist Army.
The commander of China's 5th Theater of Operations formulated the policy of relying on the mountainous areas of Tongbai Mountain and Dahongshan Mountain, holding important towns, depleting the Japanese army for a long time, and waiting for an opportunity to counterattack, so as to prepare to thwart the Japanese attack.
This is a large-scale battle with both positional warfare and movement warfare, which is just right for the participation and support of our Southern Expeditionary Army. So, our next military position is on that line. ”
Hearing Han Xing's words, Xue Yue couldn't help frowning, and it took a long time before he said: "The Suizao front line from Nanchang to Hubei is too far, not to mention thousands of mountains and rivers, and it is all enemy-occupied areas. You're tanks and artillery, how do you transport them? It's not easy. ”
Han Xing said: "There is no need for Chief Xue to worry about transportation. I mean, just ask Chief Xue to say hello to Chief Li, and just say that you sent us to support them. ”
Xue Yue was very happy when he heard this, he didn't give himself a problem, and let himself be a favor, this is really a good thing that can not only maintain people, but also not exert strength! Xue Yue said: "In this way, it seems that I am too unkind!" Where can I find a good thing to do without doing anything? ”
Han Xing said both truthfully and falsely: "Chief Xue, you can just say this. Otherwise, we would have kindly supported him, Chief Li, as if we were going to take advantage of them. ”
Xue Yue asked Han Xing again: "You really think about it, if you really want to do this, don't make a big deal out, you won't be able to do anything at that time." If there is only a sound and there is no movement, it is better not to do it. ”
Han Xing straightened his chest and said: "When will I go to the Southern Expeditionary Army, I don't talk too much, and there is no joke in the army." A manly man, he speaks with a lot of words, spits on the ground and smashes a hole. ”
Xue Yue nodded and said, "Okay, I'll contact Chief Li." Xue Yue immediately touched the phone, shook it for a while, and said, "Connect the outside line and contact Chief Li Zongren of the Fifth War Zone." ”
After a while, the phone was connected.
Xue Yue said to Li Zongren: "Brother Delin (because Li Zongren is four years older than Xue Yue, so Xue Yue calls Li Zongren brother), hello, I miss you very much!" ”
Li Zongren also said politely to Xue Yue: "Brother Boling, you are good, I miss you a lot." How do you remember to call me, is there anything to say, please? ”
It seems that Li Zongren is a quick temper, and he doesn't have time to talk to you.
Xue Yue said: "You don't have a lot of air force there, and there are armored tank vehicles, how many." If so, can you support me? ”
As soon as he heard this, Li Zongren became a little anxious, and said a little angrily: "I said Brother Boling, I don't know what you think, whether you were drunk today." Don't you know about the Air Force, the power is in the hands of the chairman, and the little devil's air force bullies all the people on my head, and I can't help it. And those armored tanks and stuff, don't think about it, you want to have them, how about giving me some? I will definitely thank you very much. ”
A sly smile appeared on Xue Yue's face, and he winked at Han Xing is eyes in a treacherous hint.
Xue Yue then said: "Oh, Brother Delin, don't be so stingy. I need the support of aircraft, artillery, and armored tank units for the counterattack on Nanchang here. ”
Li Zongren sneered at each other and said, "Oh, if you need it there, I don't need it here, right?" The little devil is about to attack my fifth war zone, and the war is about to start, and all the equipment can only go in, not out, to support you? When this battle is over, let's talk about it! ”
"You see if this will work," Xue Yue said in a tone of discussion with him, "Our two war zones cooperate with each other, whoever is at the most critical juncture, the other party will support him a little, in this way, it will be beneficial to both war zones, don't you say?" ”
Li Zongren is also an old fritter, how can he fall for Xue Yue, and shouted: "Brother Boling, don't make a circle and put me in it, okay." I'm in the middle of a fierce war, and I need mechanized equipment, so how about you give me well, and when this battle is over, how about you not only send you back, but also support you with some mechanized equipment? ”
Li Zongren said this, which is also a kind of angry talk. Who knew that Xue Yue heard it but loudly agreed: "Okay, that's it, let's support some of your mechanized troops for the time being." When you're done fighting this battle, you'll not only bring back my troops, but you'll also have to support some of your mechanized troops. ”
Li Zongren was overjoyed when he heard this, this Xue Yue, he was still young after all, and he fell for me, so he hurriedly said: "Okay, it's decided." Which troops came, what kind of equipment were they, and when did they arrive? ”
Xue Yue pretended to be reluctant to cut his love and said: "We have to talk about it, when the time comes, when it runs out, not only will it be returned to Zhao Di for me, but in addition, we will send back some troops with the same equipment." This is a flying brigade of the Southern Expeditionary Army, a heavy artillery regiment, a tank battalion, and a special regiment. This is my housekeeper! I'm all here for the interaction between the two sides. ”
Li Zongren over there seemed to be stupid all of a sudden, good things came too easily, of course, he was blinded all of a sudden.
After a long time, Li Zongren said incoherently: "Are you ...... The troops of the Han Xingnan Expeditionary Army, that ...... That...... You're not fooling me, a half-cut old man, are you! You're taking your brother again, aren't you? ”
