Chapter 222: Encirclement and Annihilation Plan
After Deng Zishan killed a devil squad leader with one shot, there were less than a hundred of the more than 300 devils who rushed up. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Such a little devil was not enough for him to fight in one regiment, and he glanced at the devil's position a few times, but found no sign that the devil's position was going to send reinforcements.
"Herald, let the artillery company concentrate on firing artillery and destroy this Japanese army."
The devil Dazuo refused to send reinforcements, and Deng Zishan lost the will to continue fighting with these less than a hundred devils. He didn't believe that he had killed all these devils, and the devil on the other side would not react at all.
"Whew! Shout! Shout! ”
More than a dozen mortar shells hit the Japanese attack team at the same time, and immediately kicked up clouds of smoke and dust several meters high.
The first to be unlucky must have been the devil's 'heavy firepower', and the only remaining two grenadiers and five or six shooters were directly engulfed by the artillery fire.
Li Han watched the first wave of the Japanese attack easily repelled by the independent brigade, and immediately felt a lot more relieved, although the weapons and equipment of the various units and the training of soldiers have been greatly improved, but the real combat effectiveness can only be seen on the battlefield.
Obviously, Li Han was very satisfied with the performance of the independent brigade, and the soldiers did not even step out of the trenches, and more than 300 little devils became ghosts under their guns.
Li Han is happy, and the devil Dazuo's mood will definitely not be better. The attack of the two squadrons did not even reach the edge of the position of the independent brigade of the security army, and the devil Dazuo realized that the task assigned to him by the division commander this time may not be easy to complete, and the combat effectiveness of the security army was somewhat unexpected to him.
In addition to artillery, although the firepower of the security army at all levels is also good, it is far from the extent that Dazuo is shocked, not to mention, the equipment of the 29th Army of Beiping is even better than that of the security army.
Their light machine guns were even equipped to the squad, but the commander of the North China garrison, Umezu Mijiro, did not often go to trouble sending Song Zheyuan.
What really shocked the devil Dazuo was that the fighting will and technical and tactical level of the security army soldiers were only a little weaker than the soldiers of the empire.
Of course, this is just a brigade he saw, and the devil Dazuo is very worried, if the 40,000 or 50,000 people of the security army are at this level and state, and they are cooperating with sophisticated weapons and equipment, then this time the Eighth Division wants to severely damage or even completely annihilate the security army, I am afraid that it will have to pay a lot of price, and it may be a lose-lose outcome.
Of course, the more this is the case, the more determined the devil Dazuo is to eliminate Li Han and the security army, Li Han is only a military commander now, and he dares to take the initiative to attack Rehe, if he goes further, it is estimated that he will even dare to fight in the Northeast, and according to the data, Li Han is a native of the Northeast.
Of course, the devil Dazuo is not worried that Li Han will liberate the Northeast, but is worried that if Li Han does this, it will bring huge trouble to the empire.
Thinking of this, the devil Osa immediately couldn't sit still, and while asking Nakamura Kotaro for artillery and aircraft support, he also ordered the 2nd Infantry Brigade to get ready, and as soon as the planes came, he immediately launched a brigade-sized attack to occupy the front-line position of the Independent Brigade.
The devil was preparing, and of course Li Han couldn't sit back and wait for Nakamura Kotaro's army to besiege him, originally he thought that the vanguard of the Japanese army would have at least one brigade.
After all, he had just annihilated more than 5,000 devils outside the Dushi Pass, no matter what means he used, it was always a fact that more than 5,000 little devils were killed.
But Li Han didn't expect that Nakamura Kotaro suffered such a big loss, and he still didn't have a long memory, of course, it was also possible that he didn't take himself seriously at all, or that he definitely had enough strength for a team.
Li Han doesn't care what Nakamura Kotaro is thinking, it's always a wing of devils in front of him, such a big piece of fat, just looking at it and not eating it is not Li Han's style.
"Military seat, Division Commander Shi, Brigade Commander Lin, Brigade Commander Zhang, Brigade Commander Huang, and here!" The golden dragon reminded Li Han in a low voice, who was deep in thought.
"Old head of the regiment, Youzhi, Huangshan, Zhang Tie, you are all here so soon, come and come, everyone please take a seat." Li Han greeted several people with a smile.
"Hello military seat!"
The four of them first gave a military salute to Li Han, and then sat down at Li Han's signal.
"This is to discuss how to deal with the fourth wing of the Japanese army, although the first security division of Dazhu has not yet arrived, but our total strength here is still more than 30,000 people.
Kotaro Nakamura only sent a wing to attack us as the vanguard, so you don't have any opinions. Li Han asked.
"Junza, you shouldn't be playing the idea of the Fourth Wing!"
It was Lin Youzhi who spoke, he knew Li Han too well, and since he was chased and killed by horse bandits in Yuguan, Li Han's way of acting has changed one hundred and eighty degrees.
In the past, although Li Han had a deep blood feud, like Shi Shi'an, he was a very traditional soldier, rigidly holding the concept of 'soldiers taking obedience to orders as their duty', and following the young marshal all the way from the northeast to Yuguan, he would never do anything beyond the scope of military orders.
However, since that time, Li Han's courage has suddenly become much bigger, and even military orders can't completely restrain him, and he often leads his troops to find trouble with the Japanese army.
So when Li Han asked them to talk about their views on the Fourth Wing of the Japanese Army, Lin Youzhi estimated in his heart that Li Han Bacheng was in the idea of the Fourth Wing, and it was very likely that he wanted to completely annihilate the Fourth Wing.
"The idea of playing the Fourth Wing? Aren't we at war with the Fourth Wing right now, and we have some ideas to fight. Zhang Tie asked with a puzzled expression.
Now that their army has exchanged fire with the Fourth Wing, both sides have already fought, and there is still any idea to fight, so Zhang Tie is very puzzled by Lin Youzhi's words.
"What does the military seat mean, planning to annihilate the Fourth Wing?"
Shi Shi'an also reacted at this time, but he was still a little unsure, they had just wiped out one wing, and Li Han planned to wipe out another wing so quickly, could it be that the little devil was really so easy to fight.
"That's right, everyone, the Fourth Wing of the Japanese Army stands out alone, and it has about two days' journey from the main force of the Eighth Division, which gives us the opportunity to annihilate it completely."
On the large map hanging in the conference room of the military headquarters, Li Han pointed to the location of the main forces of the Fourth Wing and the Eighth Division, and said to several brigade commanders.
As soon as Li Han's words came out, the officers present all gasped, they didn't expect Li Han to be so bold and want to eat the Fourth Wing under the nose of the Eighth Division, this plan can even be said to be crazy,
"Commander, the Fourth Wing of the Japanese Army has a full formation of 3,800 people, and there are also planes to assist in the battle, under normal circumstances, it is very difficult for a regular division to block their attack, although there are more people on our side, but it may be difficult to completely annihilate them within two days.
Moreover, once we launch a siege and annihilation battle against the Fourth Wing, Nakamura Kotaro will definitely not sit idly by and watch the Fourth Wing be annihilated, if he is sending a wing to advance lightly to support the Fourth Wing, then we may be in danger of being caught between the front and the rear. ”
A look of hesitation appeared on Shi Shi'an's face, he felt that Li Han's plan was too risky, and the second preferred to be steady.
At present, the security forces have gained a partial advantage over the Eighth Division, and even if they cannot defeat the Eighth Division, there will certainly be no problem in remaining undefeated.
"The old regiment commander has also thought about it, but if we don't eliminate the Fourth Wing now, as soon as the main force of the Eighth Division arrives, we will face even greater pressure, and we may even lose both.
We can't afford it now, the Japanese army has more than one Eighth Division, and now the main force of the Eighth Division has not been damaged, so the Kwantung Army has not moved.
Once we and the 8th Division are defeated, the Kwantung Army will definitely not let us go, and the main force of the security army is out, and Chahar's forces are almost exhausted.
In addition to the 3,000 men of Li Yong's spy regiment in the huge Chahar Province, there is only one column of militia left, and once the North China garrison invades Chahar from the Great Wall, and we cannot return in time, the consequences will be unimaginable. Li Han said with a solemn expression.
It's not that he has to take risks, but he has to do it now, otherwise it will be meaningless for them to take the initiative to attack Rehe, and it is better to build more pillboxes and permanent fortifications in several major passes adjacent to Chahar and Rehe, as well as several major cities.
Coupled with the more than 50,000 security troops and millions of Chahar people, the Japanese army did not want to occupy Chahar without losing two or three divisions.
"It's still the military seat that is thoughtful, and I don't know how the military seat plans to fight this battle."
Li Han's words were something that Shi Shi'an hadn't considered before, but he believed that since Li Han said so, he must have thought of a plan.
As soon as Shi Shi'an asked, everyone also turned their attention to Li Han at the same time, and they also wanted to know what Li Han planned to do.
You must know that the combat effectiveness of the Fourth Wing of the Japanese Army alone is already very strong, not to mention that there is an Eighth Division in the rear, and in this case, the total annihilation of the Fourth Division is tantamount to pulling teeth from the tiger's mouth.
Shi Shi'an and Li Han are still different, Li Han is now equivalent to a small warlord, in addition to considering the victory or defeat of the battlefield, but also considering what impact this battle will have on Chahar.
And Shi Shi'an and the other division and brigade commanders only need to pay attention to the training of the troops, and Li Hanhui will help them solve the problem of soldiers, weapons, equipment, ammunition and other military materials.
"As I said earlier, the Fourth Wing has formed a situation of going deep alone, and with proper command, it is completely possible to annihilate it.
Although the main force of the Japanese army is only two days away from us, there are also accounts for these two days.
It would take two days for the 8th Division to reach the battlefield at a normal pace, but we could disrupt the road lines along the way and delay the advance of the main Japanese army.
In addition, I also planned to have the Independent Brigade and the Guard Regiment go together to block the advance of the main Japanese army, so as to buy us a few days.
Moreover, the First Security Division will also arrive in the next two days, and by then there will be more than 35,000 people in the two divisions of our army, and the strength of the Fourth Wing will be ten times that of the Fourth Wing. ”
Looking at everyone's expectant eyes, Li Han said his plan.
