Chapter 943: Wu Town Assembled
Song Kentang and Li Jue shared the same view on this matter, and they felt that it was too risky to launch a counterattack against the Japanese troops now. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
They were almost certain that the Japanese heavy artillery had already set up artillery positions on the front line, and now launching a counterattack would be tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.
"The two army commanders don't have to be embarrassed, our new division will be the main attacker of this counterattack force, as long as the two army commanders can stick to the current position."
When Song Kentang and Li Jue were extremely embarrassed, Sun Weiguo said directly.
The First Infantry Brigade has three regiments, each of which has more than 3,000 people, counting the troops directly under the brigade headquarters, the First Infantry Brigade has nearly 10,000 people, and these nearly 10,000 troops have been strictly trained during this time, and it is time for Sun Weiguo to let them show their backs.
As the saying goes, raising troops for a thousand days and using troops for a while, all units of the 19th Group Army are fighting very well, but they cannot be compared with the troops of the new 1st Division in terms of strength and weapons and equipment, and the new 1st Division is strong and strong, and if the new 1st Division does not attack the main attack at this time, then there will be no troops that can fight the main attack.
"Division Commander Sun, the Japanese army has a lot of heavy artillery this time, your enthusiasm is commendable, and I also know that you also fought very well in North China, but this time the situation is different, the Japanese heavy artillery exceeds two hundred, if you dare to counterattack, the consequences will be unimaginable." Luo Zhuoying had a solemn expression on his face, he looked at Sun Weiguo, and said in a heavy tone.
Luo Zhuoying is not very optimistic about Sun Weiguo's counterattack, since the new 1st Division troops were temporarily assigned to the 19th Group Army, Luo Zhuoying has learned about the new 1st Division, and he knows that the new 1st Division currently has many recruits, which will affect the combat effectiveness of the new 1st Division.
"Commander-in-chief, I am seventy percent sure that I will first eat the Japanese troops in the direction of Wucheng Town, and then turn around to deal with the Japanese 106th Division, even if I can't completely annihilate the Japanese 106th Division, I am sure to eat some of them. Commander-in-Chief, I need the full cooperation of friendly forces. ”
Sun Weiguo's eyes looked at Luo Zhuoying, an anxious expression appeared on his face, and now Luo Zhuoying obviously did not support Sun Weiguo's battle plan.
"Senior Sun, are you sure you have thought it through?" Luo Zhuoying looked at Sun Weiguo, the expression on his face became heavy, he knew very well what the price would be if the counterattack failed.
"Commander-in-chief, I have thought clearly, if we blindly defend passively now, then the Japanese troops will definitely seize the initiative, once they launch a flanking attack on the defenders of Yongxiu County, the consequences will be unimaginable, now time is very important to us, we must solve the Japanese troops in Yongxiu County in a short time!"
Sun Weiguo looked at Luo Zhuoying, and he pointed to Yongxiu County on the map and said.
After the two army commanders, Song Kentang and Li Jue, came to the general headquarters, Sun Weiguo had already introduced the current situation to Luo Zhuoying in detail.
Luo Zhuoying is very aware of the current situation in Jiangxi, and he knows that in terms of the overall situation, the Chinese troops are obviously in an unfavorable situation.
If you want to change the current situation, you have to take action, but Sun Weiguo's plan is too risky.
"The troops of the 32nd Army and the 70th Army held their existing positions and cooperated with the troops of the new 1st Division, and the main force of the 30th Group Army was deployed in the vicinity of Wuning County to prevent the Japanese troops in this area from crossing the Xiushui River, and at the same time, the 30th Group Army quickly dispatched a unit to Yongxiu County, blocked the Xiushui River, and ordered the troops of the First Group Army to accelerate their advance towards Yongxiu County."
Luo Zhuoying was silent for a while, and then he began to give combat orders, and as Luo Zhuoying officially began to give orders, he indirectly agreed to Sun Weiguo's battle plan.
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief." Sun Weiguo and the others immediately saluted Luo Zhuoying and said.
At this time, outside Wucheng Town, Yongxiu County, in the headquarters of the Ishihara detachment of the Japanese army, the commander of the major general detachment, Ishihara Tsunetaro, looked at his subordinates coldly, and his face was full of angry expressions.
In order to strengthen the attack capability of the 101st and 106th Divisions, and at the same time to contain the Chinese troops, the Ishihara detachment landed in Kureong Town through naval warships long before the troops of the 101st Division and the 106th Division forcibly crossed the Xiushui River.
Originally, Okamura Ninji also counted on the Ishihara detachment to quickly capture Kure Town, and then advance to the flank and rear of the Chinese troops in the Xiushui River to cooperate with the battle.
However, the Ishihara detachment attacked Wucheng for several days without making any progress, and the Chinese troops stubbornly defended, so that these little devils had no choice.
"How did you command the battle, you actually let the Chinese troops launch a counterattack, if it weren't for the help of naval warships, I'm afraid we would all be driven to Poyang Lake, you really disappointed me." Tsunetaro Ishihara looked at the five captains, and he said in an indifferent tone.
This time, the 119th Brigade transferred five infantry brigades, one infantry artillery squadron, and one mountain artillery squadron to form the Ishihara detachment, which had more than 5,000 people.
However, since they landed from Wucheng on the 18th, they have been attacking for three consecutive days, but they still have not made any progress.
Especially today, the defenders began to launch a counterattack, and the unprepared Japanese troops were almost driven into Poyang Lake, much to the annoyance of Ishihara Tsunetaro.
"Your Excellency Brigade Commander, although the Chinese troops have resisted our attack, they have already paid a lot of casualties, I suggest that you immediately contact the special aviation unit and ask the aviation unit to send planes to bomb Wucheng Town, as long as there is an aviation force to help in the battle, it will naturally be easy to take Wucheng Town."
One of the captains immediately stepped forward, and he said with his eyes on Ishihara Tsunetaro.
Ishihara Tsunetaro frowned, it was not that he had not contacted the aviation unit, but the aviation unit was currently concentrating on supporting the combat vehicle cluster operation, and Ishihara Tsunetaro's request here was naturally not granted.
Of course, Ishihara Tsunetaro also knew that his more than 5,000 troops had attacked Kure Town for three days without any progress, and Okamura Ninji must have been extremely angry.
"I will contact the aviation unit to come over to support the operation, you immediately go back to organize the troops, tomorrow the five brigades will all concentrate on the charge, and tomorrow we must take Wucheng Town."
Ishihara Tsunetaro looked at the five Shaozo captains with sharp eyes, and he shouted in a stern tone.
"Hi, Your Excellency, Brigade Commander." The five captains of the Shaozo Brigade immediately saluted, and they replied respectfully.
The Ishihara detachment that had attacked Kure Castle began to recuperate, unaware of the impending danger.
At this time, Sun Weiguo had already begun to lead the 3rd Artillery Brigade and the 1st Infantry Brigade to quickly assemble towards Wucheng City. (To be continued.) )
