[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 628: Shocking Plan (Ask for subscription!) , ask for a monthly pass, ask for everything! ）

Ma Zheng saw the expressions of all the officers, and Ma Zheng knew what they were thinking, and immediately Ma Zheng said: "There are indeed many Japanese garrisons in Qingdao, but the only one who really threatens us is the Japanese Fifth Division, so I have been trying to find a way to move the Fifth Division from Qingdao three months ago, and finally let it leave Qingdao by attacking Shimen." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

"Now the Fifth Division is pinned down by our army and cannot get out of the Shanxi battlefield, and the entire Shandong side only has two divisions and two brigades, so it can be said that the defense is extremely empty, and the Japanese army also has to deal with Sun Lianzhong's Sulu theater in northern Jiangsu, so it is the best opportunity for us to use troops in Qingdao!"

Hu Yanbing frowned and said, "Commander, with the strength of our army, the chance of winning a sneak attack on Qingdao is very high, but how should we defend Qingdao after we take it?" ”

"We're just going to fight this time!" Ma Zheng said in surprise.

"Fight but not defend?" Everyone was surprised again, since they didn't keep it, why bother Baal to fight, I don't understand!

Ma Zheng smiled and said: "We have three purposes for attacking Qingdao, the first is naturally to deter the Japanese puppet army, the second is to receive supplies for China, and the last purpose is to warships!" ”

"Warship?"

Why did the topic run to the warship again, they are the army, what do you want the warship, everyone was stunned by Ma Zheng's whimsical thoughts.

Ma Zheng didn't let everyone waste more brain cells, and immediately said: "Qingdao is the place of the four wars, and it is also the Japanese army's sea, land and air base and bridgehead for invasion to the interior, and the geographical location is extremely important, so even if we succeed in a sneak attack, it will be difficult to deal with the counterattack that will follow!" So we have to give the little devils another hard time, so that they will forget Qingdao and forget us. ”

Then Ma Zheng continued: "This operation is divided into two steps, seizing Qingdao to receive supplies for China is only the first step, and the second step is to seize the Japanese naval ships docked in Qingdao Port, and then use these naval ships to transport our troops to Tianjin, and then take Tianjin City by surprise!" ”

"Ahh

This idea really stunned everyone, just now I said that I would fight Qingdao, and now all of a sudden, I want to fight Tianjin, is it really okay to use troops like this?

"Commander, wouldn't it be too risky to use troops on multiple fronts like this?" Xie Wensheng immediately reminded.

"There are naturally risks, but there are those who are sure to win and not lose in wars, and if you don't take risks, you don't have a chance. In addition, the success rate of this battle plan was still very high, first of all, we first broke up the troops into pieces and secretly moved to the vicinity of Qingdao, and then dispatched a special combat team to take down the Japanese naval ships anchored in Qingdao port, and at the same time the army launched a surprise attack on Qingdao, thus completing the first step. After all, there is only one infantry brigade in Qingdao City, plus the gendarmerie and the marines, and the total strength is only less than 3,000 people. ”

Then Ma Zheng continued: "The second step is to use the captured naval ships to transport our land forces to Tianjin Port by water, and then launch a surprise attack on Tianjin Port. Before that, I will also ask Yang Chengwu's headquarters to launch a diversion campaign on the front line of Zhangjiakou, and transfer all the mobile units of the North China Front Army to the front line of Zhangjiakou, so that the difficulty of our attack on Tianjin will be minimized. So this plan seems to be risky, and on closer analysis, in addition to being very high. ”

Listening to Ma Zheng's analysis, everyone felt that this matter was really funny, and according to Ma Zheng's analysis, the success rate was indeed very high.

At the same time, all the officers present admired Ma Zheng incomparably, thinking that in order to lay down such an overall situation, the commander had been calculating the Japanese for several months or even half a year ago, whether it was the Southern Hebei Campaign, the later Xinkou Campaign, and even the current Suicha Military Region several battles were fought to implement this plan, and this kind of thinking was by no means something that ordinary officers could have.

And everyone can fully imagine what kind of shock the Japanese government and opposition will fall into once this plan succeeds, Qingdao and Tianjin are both channels for the Japanese army to communicate with the outside world, and they have been captured one after another, I am afraid that even the Japanese emperor will not be calm. On the contrary, by that time, China's already low anti-Japanese morale will reach a new climax.

Although this battle plan still had one or another shortcomings, all the officers decided to take a risk with Ma Zheng, so such a shocking battle plan was drawn up.

Now that the plan is formulated, the next step is to implement it. At a time when the North China Front Army and the Suicha Military Region were fighting in the direction of Xinkou, Ma Zheng commanded the only 50,000 troops of the Shandong Military Region to move towards Qingdao in batches.

In order to fight this battle well, Ma Zheng took out all his family resources, equipped all the light and heavy weapons with the troops, and except for leaving a regiment to attract the attention of the Japanese army, the army all marched east to Qingdao.

From Luxi to Qingdao, it was necessary to cross the entire Shandong Peninsula, but fortunately, walking and marching were commonplace for the Eighth Route Army, so no one complained.

However, Ma Zheng still underestimated the distance from Luxi to Qingdao, and before crossing, Ma Zheng had gone to Qingdao from Liaocheng by car, which was only more than 500 kilometers at that time, and it took more than six hours to drive. Therefore, he gave the troops a time limit of 5 days to hurry, but because they had to avoid various strongholds of the Japanese army along the way, they had to make a detour many times, so the distance was far more than 500 kilometers, so when Ma Zheng and Xie Wensheng's troops arrived at the outskirts of Qingdao, it was already seven days later.

According to Ma Zheng's estimates, their total journey this time was about 700 kilometers, which means that the soldiers marched an average of more than 200 miles every day.

I have to say that the soldiers of this era endured hardships, according to the division of the army in later generations, generally in the case of marching on foot, the "regular march" is 4~5 kilometers per hour, and the daily journey is 30~40 kilometers. The "rapid march" is about 10 kilometers per hour, and the "forced march" is more than 50 kilometers a day, and the living is a continuous march of more than 12 hours a day and night. And marching like this for seven days in a row, with an average of 200 miles a day, was completely impossible in later generations.

But now it has been realized by them, of course, the realistic solar terms also have a great effect. Since the vast majority of the troops marched at night, and now that it was early winter, the days were short and the nights were long, so the soldiers usually had time, and some of them walked for thirteen or fourteen hours in one night.

And just when Ma Zheng rushed to Qingdao with the army, the battle on the front line of Yuanping Town also changed, first because the headquarters of the Second War Zone in view of the fact that Ma Zheng's department contained the two most elite divisions of the Japanese army on the Yuanping front, Yan Laoxi, who was bent on returning to Taiyuan, once again commanded the troops to attack the Japanese army on the periphery of Taiyuan.

The headquarters of the Second War Zone did not know whether it was stimulated or what's wrong, almost the whole army was dispatched, one route from west to east, one route from south to north, and the two armies attacked fiercely in the direction of Taiyuan, which caused a lot of pressure on the Japanese First Army.

In addition, the purpose of this operation against Ma Zheng's department was not to defeat the army of the Suicha Military Region, but a test of Tada Jun's department against Ma Zheng's department, and after nearly a week of hard fighting, Tada Jun had an extremely clear understanding of the combat effectiveness of Ma Zheng's department.

In Tada Jun's view, Ma Zheng's department is certainly powerful, and it already has the capital to compete with the most elite divisions in the empire. But that's all, it was by no means as invincible as people thought, and even in a one-on-one battle with the Fifth Division, the most elite unit of the Tubalu was slightly inferior.

Therefore, it can be determined that the repeated defeats of the front army in the past were not due to the invincibility of the enemy, but to the command of the imperial side.

With such a conclusion, Tada Jun is much more relieved, as long as it is not an absolute strength gap, the rest is easy to say.

Now that the purpose of the temptation has been achieved, Tada Jun ordered the troops on the front line of Yuanping Town to withdraw from the battle, first stabilize the situation in Shanxi and then try to seize Datong, so as not to be flanked by the people of China. (To be continued.) )
