Chapter 315: Preemptive Strike
Although more than half of the Liaodong Army were recruits. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
However, they had two Japanese troops that could not be compared.
Strength and firepower.
Because the limited strength of the Japanese army was scattered in several strongholds, the three division commanders of the Liaodong Army concentrated double, triple, and even quadruple and five times the strength to attack them in each attack.
Not to mention the firepower, whether it is the number of artillery or light and heavy machine guns, the Liaodong Army is several times that of the Japanese army.
So, although the Japanese army still had seven infantry brigades of more than 6,000 people, because they were scattered in six strongholds.
Under the attack of more than 20,000 Liaodong troops, Xishu was wiped out.
"Commander, we won...... This is the good news that the three division commanders and the guard regiment have sent back quickly......" As soon as Sun Liechen re-entered the headquarters, he kept waving the good news in his hand and reported with excitement on his face.
Governor Yang Xing replied with a sigh of relief: "I finally ate them before the Japanese reinforcements arrived......
"Otherwise, in the face of the heavy attack of at least two divisions of the Japanese army, we will be defeated and suffer heavy losses even if we are not wiped out."
Sun Liechen also replied with a happy face: "Yes, the Japanese army has lost these bridgeheads to attack us, if they still want to attack us, then they must be recaptured from us little by little......
"In addition, after eating these Japanese troops in Anshan, when we face the Japanese attack, we will have much more room for maneuver......"
To Sun Liechen's surprise, Yang Xingguo actually showed a smile full of mystery at this time. Then, he shook his head and replied: "Anshan County was originally our ......."
"Besides, with the energy of us to completely annihilate one of their divisions, if the Japanese army really wants to solve us at once, it will at least dispatch more than 30,000 people from two divisions!"
"Anshan is such a big place, what room for maneuver, what kind of attack on the bridgehead, it is all fake."
"As long as the two divisions of the Japanese army hug together and advance towards our headquarters step by step. With our strength, even if we have all our forces in front of them, we can't stop them from attacking......"
"As for the tactics we use well. The Japanese army is less coming, and it is still useful, so that we can destroy them at the lowest cost...... However, in the face of such absolute strength as the two main divisions of the Japanese army. I can't use any tactical tactics......"
Sun Liechen was stunned for a moment, and asked Yang Xingguo rhetorically: "Commander, then it doesn't have any effect for us to eat the Japanese army here......
"It works...... But it's not ......," Yang Xingguo affirmed after shaking his head.
"First of all, after we eat more than 10,000 Japanese troops here, even if the Japanese army really intends to attack us. More than 10,000 people who were eaten by us, at least did not have a chance to go to war. No matter from any point of view, it has reduced the pressure on our next operations......"
"Second, after completely taking Anshan, our room for maneuver has not increased much for the entire war. However, if this land is used well, it can still cause a lot of casualties to the Japanese army. ”
"Of course, such a kill can play a very limited role for more than 30,000 Japanese troops."
Then. The expression on Sun Liechen's face can already be described as dignified, and there is no sign of the joy and excitement of the troops after they have just won the battle.
After a short hesitation, he continued to ask Yang Xingguo: "Commander, if the Japanese army really let all the two divisions come over to attack us, then we don't have no way to ......."
"According to my original idea, I gave up the headquarters and fought guerrilla warfare with two divisions of the Japanese army in the five counties of Liaozhong."
"The main target of the Japanese army is still Lao Maozi, and it is impossible to drag on here for too long."
"However, in this way, the foundation that we have worked so hard to build in the five counties of Liaozhong is likely to be destroyed. The entire unit will also suffer heavy losses in constant contact with the Japanese army......"
"To put it more bluntly, it's a lose-lose situation...... This is the only way I can think of to break the enemy after I received the information from the deputy commander yesterday. ”
"Yesterday ......" Sun Liechen's eyes lit up and he asked subconsciously.
"Yes. It was ...... yesterday," Yang Xingguo affirmed.
Then, the conversation changed and continued: "However, after thinking about it last night, I have a new idea......
"Wait here for the Japanese to attack, and even if we win in the end, we will lose a lot...... Case. Why can't we do the opposite? What about taking advantage of this great victory to continue to attack the Japanese army, disrupt their deployment, and take the initiative on the battlefield into our own hands? ”
Sun Liechen replied with a dumbfounded face: "Take the initiative to attack one step ahead of the Japanese army, choose the battlefield outside the five counties in Liaozhong, and let the two divisions of the Japanese army follow behind our buttocks...... Commander, this is a good idea. ”
After analyzing the map, Sun Liechen continued: "The main forces of the Japanese army are concentrated on the Liaoyang line to confront Lao Maozi. In the whole large rear, except for the logistics base and the strategic points where heavy troops are stationed, the other towns are only symbolically stationed some troops......"
"Plus now we have broken the blockade imposed on us by the Japanese army. As long as we don't touch their strategic points and logistics bases, and more than a dozen county towns in the rear of the Japanese army, we can hit wherever we want? ”
To Sun Liechen's surprise, Yang Xingguo did not agree with what he said.
"It is ......certain that the rear of the Japanese army will be disturbed and the battlefield will be placed outside the five counties of Liaozhong."
"However, if we don't make two big fights in the rear of the Japanese army, touch their nerves, and make them feel nervous and scared, do you think the Japanese army will send heavy troops to encircle and suppress us?"
"The best way is to hit the soft underbelly of the Japanese army at once, otherwise, how can the Japanese army of two divisions revolve around us......"
"Also, even if we take the initiative to attack, the five counties in Liaozhong must leave enough troops to defend......"
"After knowing that our main force is making trouble in their rear, even if the Japanese army sends heavy troops to encircle and suppress our attacking troops, they will not give up attacking our base area and destroy our development foundation in one fell swoop."
Sun Liechen nodded and asked, "Then commander, what are you going to do?" ”
"...... here," Yang Xingguo said, pointing to Fengcheng on the map......
"There are three logistics bases for more than 100,000 Japanese troops, and one of them has been wiped out by us......"
"According to intelligence, Fengcheng is another logistics base of the Japanese army, and it is also the largest logistics base of the Japanese army......"
"If our troops are directed at Fengcheng, what do you think will happen to the Japanese army......
"Deploy heavy troops, reinforce Fengcheng, and ensure the safety of Fengcheng, a logistics base......" Sun Liechen replied without thinking about it.
"The Japanese army, which has more than 100,000 men, has already lost a logistics base, and must not lose another ...... Otherwise, more than 100,000 Japanese troops will fall into a food shortage crisis......"
Yang Xingguo nodded affirmatively: "What I want is this purpose......" (To be continued.) )
