Chapter 414: Chief Yan is generous
After Sun Weiguo saw the expressions on Chu Hongwei and Qian Zhongming's faces, he knew that the two regiment commanders were worried about the Japanese reinforcements, so he didn't say anything, but smiled and invited them to take a seat.
Unlike in the past, Sun Weiguo was not fighting for the orders of Chu Hongwei and Qian Zhongming, he directly issued the battle order.
After learning of the arrival of Japanese reinforcements, Sun Weiguo had a general judgment in his heart, he knew very well that the favorable conditions for besieging the Japanese army on the north bank of the Zhujiachuan River no longer existed, and once the troops of Hequ County launched an attack on the Japanese army on the north bank of the Zhujiachuan River, then once the Japanese troops in Biguan County attacked, the troops would definitely be in a disadvantageous situation.
According to this situation, Sun Weiguo gave up the siege of the Japanese army on the north bank of the Zhujiachuan River, and he aimed at the Japanese reinforcements in Biguan County.
At present, there are nearly 5,000 Japanese troops in Biguan County, only more than 2,000 Japanese troops on the north bank of the Zhujiachuan River, and 3,000 puppet army troops in the rest.
But Sun Weiguo wanted to do the opposite, he wanted to gather troops to fight the Japanese troops in Guanxian County.
"Commander Sun, it's not me pouring cold water on you, according to the previous battles, if we want to hold our position, we have to dispatch three times the strength of the Japanese army to be able to hold it. If we want to attack the county town captured by the Japanese army, we have no precedent for the time being, but the Japanese army in Qilan County is only more than 1,000 people, and the troops of the 359th Brigade of your army fought for three days and three nights to annihilate most of the Japanese army. ”
"Commander Sun, we are not afraid of death, we are just attacking the county town held by the Japanese army, our cavalry has no way to fight at all, if we dismount to fight, I am afraid that out of a hundred people, there must be at least thirty or forty people guarding the war horses, so that the mobility of the cavalry is completely canceled out."
Hearing that Sun Weiguo was going to attack Guanxian County, even Chu Hongwei and Qian Zhongming, who admired Sun Weiguo very much, couldn't help but be stunned, and they were very embarrassed.
It's not that they're afraid of death, it's that they feel that Sun Weiguo's plan is too risky.
There was no precedent for the second theater to conquer the Japanese garrison in the county seat, and the only precedent was for the troops of the 359th Brigade of the 120th Division to conquer Qilan County.
At that time, the Japanese army in Lan County was more than 1,000 people, and after the development of the 359 Brigade troops, there were more than 9,000 people, and the ratio of troops between the two sides was one to nine, and the specific situation was that the 359 Brigade troops quickly occupied the commanding heights outside the city of Lan County, cutting off the only water source outside the south of Lan County, but even in this case, the 359 Brigade fought for three days and three nights to conquer Lan County, and it was not to wipe out all the Japanese troops in the county, but only to annihilate most of them.
Of course, the First Reserve Regiment also has achievements in conquering Baode County, but Chu Hongwei and Qian Zhongming know very well that although their troops dare to fight with the Japanese army, when it comes to the combat effectiveness of the troops, not to mention that compared with Sun Weiguo's First Reserve Regiment, they are much worse than the troops of the 359 Brigade.
They felt that if they let their troops attack Biguan County, which was garrisoned by more than 4,000 Japanese troops, not to mention their two regiments, even if they were a regiment in the Jin Sui Army, they might not be able to take Biguan County, so as soon as Sun Weiguo's words were finished, Chu Hongwei and Qian Zhongming immediately said in embarrassment, they hoped that Sun Weiguo would think about it carefully.
"I said that I would fight the Japanese troops in Biguan County, but it was not necessarily to attack the city, more than 4,000 Japanese troops were stationed in Biguan County, not to mention your troops, even if there were two reserve first regiments, they could not be defeated, and we fought the Japanese troops in Biguan County to mobilize them to fight and fight them in a sports war." Sun Weiguo said with a smile.
After Chu Hongwei and Qian Zhongming heard Sun Weiguo's words, the two of them showed thoughtful expressions on their faces, and they realized that Sun Weiguo didn't let them attack Biguan County.
"Regiment commander, the Second Theater Commander's Department sent a commendation telegram, and at the same time, Tang Chunhua, deputy director of the Second Theater Theater, with the condolence group of the Commander's Department, has set off to go to Qilan County to express condolences to our army."
The platoon commander of the communications platoon walked in from outside again, and after saluting Sun Weiguo, he immediately handed the telegram to Sun Weiguo.
"It's good to come, it seems that Chief Yan still knows that he is distressed, so he immediately sent a telegram to Sun Ziyuan, the deputy commander of the regiment, and asked Wang Kunyao's fourth battalion to leave a platoon to garrison Lan County, and the rest of the troops quickly went to Hequ County, and sent a direct telegram to Tang Chunhua, so that he could hurry to Lan County, and I will send the Japanese major general to Lan County."
After Sun Weiguo read the message, his face was full of smiles, and he immediately gave an order.
The platoon commander nodded, saluted Sun Weiguo, and then he walked out quickly.
There is the fourth battalion of the reserve first regiment in Lan County, and they are responsible for garrisoning Lan County, but at present, the Japanese troops in Baode County have been pinned down by the Left Route Army, and Lou Fan County and Lan County are garrisoned by the Jin Sui Army, so there is no need to garrison this Lan County.
However, in order to reassure the fraternal troops to attack Wuzhai County, some troops still have to be deployed here.
This time Sun Weiguo was going to have a decisive battle with the Japanese army here, Wang Kunyao's fourth battalion Sun Weiguo wanted to transfer them before, but he just transferred them over, Lan County was about to become an empty city, and the flank of the 359th Brigade of the 120th Division was no longer guaranteed, and Sun Weiguo could only endure it.
This time, when he saw the telegram sent by the Second War Zone Commander's Department, Sun Weiguo laughed.
This time, Yan Xishan organized Catherine and other reporters to come to the front line to conduct interviews, and at the same time sent the weapons and ammunition purchased by overseas Chinese in the United States to the front line, Yan Xishan sent Tang Chunhua to take charge of this matter, and Tang Chunhua persuaded Yan Xishan to organize a condolence group to show that Yan Xishan treated the Eighth Route Army equally.
With a huge army and many non-combatants, and these people also had to carry a lot of weapons donated by overseas Chinese, Yan Xishan sent a guard regiment to Tang Chunhua to protect the safety of these reporters and the members of the condolence group.
When Sun Weiguo saw that there was a guard regiment, he immediately asked the communications platoon commander to send a telegram to Tang Chunhua, and asked Tang Chunhua to quickly go to Lan County.
As for the Japanese major general, Sun Weiguo would not send him to Lan County, this was just a bait, so that Tang Chunhua could rush to Lan County immediately, Sun Weiguo could count on this guard regiment to serve as the guard force of Lan County.
"Chief Yan is really generous, and he sent us another guard regiment. Now that we have another guard regiment, you can rest assured, we will certainly be able to win this operation, and the troops will immediately rest and recuperate, and immediately carry out the battle plan after dawn tomorrow, and those who violate the order will be engaged in military law. ”
Sun Weiguo said with a smile, but at the end of the words, the expression on Sun Weiguo's face became serious.
