In the case of the loss of air supremacy, sometimes it is doubly dangerous to fight positional warfare. Even if you know this situation, many anti-Japanese troops have no choice, and sometimes they also need to fight the Japanese army during the day.www.biquge.info

On the other hand, the 16th Division, which had been surrounded by the Fifth Theater for one night, looked at the gradually brightening sky, and it seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. In the eyes of many Japanese soldiers, the day is their home field, and they can relax a little.

It's just that the sudden relaxation after the tension made many Japanese soldiers who had not had a good rest for a day and a night suddenly feel a little physically and mentally exhausted. Many soldiers who are rotated on duty have an urge to lie down and sleep well.

Also tired is Keisuke Fujie, as the commander of the division, he also failed to get a good rest last night. When he walked out of the underground command room at dawn and looked at the soldiers who were sleeping, he knew that things were a little tricky.

Such a tired army has to deal with the large-scale offensive that may be launched in the Fifth Theater today, and I am afraid that the situation will become very bad. And the troops in his hands seem to be a lot, but in fact there are not many, and there are many areas and areas that need to be defended.

Seeing this situation, Keisuke Fujie still said seriously: "Miyamoto-kun, wait to warn our warriors, you must cheer up." Today's battle will be very hard, and there is no room for slackness.

As long as we can inflict heavy losses on the invading Chinese army today, the rest of the battle will be much easier. I know the warriors are working hard, but attacking our Zhina army, they are just as tired. Now it's up to who can make it to the end! ”

'Hey! Please rest assured, the division commander, we will definitely make the attacking Chinese army pay a heavy price! ’

'Yo! As long as we can hold out until reinforcements arrive this time, I believe that the final victory will still be ours. Now all we have to do is hold on to the town and wait for reinforcements to arrive, understand? ’

'Hey! Humble duty understands! ’

Even if Keisuke Fujie knew that it was best to let the troops rest at this time. But he didn't know at all when the troops of the Fifth Theater, which had already formed a situation of encircling them, would launch an attack.

All he could do now was to continue to be vigilant and wait for the troops of the Fifth Theater to attack. At the same time, Keisuke Fujie also hoped that the air force sent by the empire to cooperate with the operation would arrive at the battlefield as soon as possible.

In this way, their defensive blocking battles will also be relatively easy to fight!

Like the Japanese army, the troops who woke up in the early morning were only given a short rest. But after a while, they seemed to be in a lot of energy. I didn't want to get up, but I knew that I had to eat breakfast quickly.

If it's a little later, I guess I won't be able to eat. When the little devil's plane comes, they will probably turn into ground rats and hide in the dug tunnel. Staying outside will only become a live target for the bombardment of the little devils.

There are also strict regulations for the opening of the troops, and it is estimated that they can only eat dry food for this meal at noon. If you start a gang in the field, you will only provide bombing targets for the little devil's plane, and it will be inevitable that you will suffer heavy casualties.

This means that if you want to have a hot meal or soup, you can only get up early to eat. In a sense, with the increase in the number of battles against the little devils, the troops participating in the War of Resistance have also summed up a lot of experience and lessons in exchange for blood.

The 67th Army, which also had dinner in the morning, looked at the sky and said, "Today's weather, it is estimated that there will be rain in the evening and evening. But in the morning, it is estimated that the little devil's plane will be dispatched as usual.

Wait and inform the troops on the front line that today we are helping the field, and the observation posts must do a good job of air defense vigilance. Today's offensive mission is still handed over to the snipers deployed on the front line, and the other fighters only need to hold their positions. ”

Hearing this, Li Xiangdong smiled and said, "Then we won't attack today?" ”

'What's the hurry! After fighting for so long, the troops are also a little tired. After breakfast, except for the troops who went to replace the front-line positions, the rest of the troops rested as usual. As for the offense, it depends on the weather today. ’

'Yes, Commander! ’

With the 16th Division being surrounded in the town, He Zhengdao also seemed much more relieved. Maybe in a short time, the encircled troops will not be able to completely annihilate the little devils in the town. But if they want to break out, it is estimated that it is unlikely.

The other two main regiments, which had already been well rested yesterday, were not far from them at this moment. If necessary, the two main regiments can be transferred at any time. But now, He Zhengdao feels that it is not necessary for the time being.

With regard to the troops currently concentrated in the southern position, Ho Zhengdao believed that the offensive might lack a little firepower. But if you fight a blocking battle, the little devil wants to break through from the south, but I'm afraid it's impossible.

Moving large forces to the side of the position will only increase the casualties of the troops. On the contrary, only one regiment can find a hidden place to hide here. I can't find anyone, and the little devil has to have a target if he wants to bomb!

Compared with He Zhengdao, who had a relaxed attitude and looked at the current battle of the siege, on the position of the 71st Army, the expressions of the participating troops were a little solemn. They all know that today is going to be a tough battle.

The regimental-level officers who came to the temporary headquarters after eating, looked at the army commander Song Xilian, who had a somewhat solemn expression, and didn't dare to say anything. After the fierce fighting in the past few days, almost every division and regiment of them suffered considerable casualties.

Looking at these subordinates with a somewhat tired expression but a solemn expression, Song Xilian also said calmly: "Before arranging today's combat deployment, I will first convey the telegram sent by the chairman. ”

As soon as they heard this, all the division commanders and regiment commanders stood straight, while Song Xilian continued: "During this time, our 71st Army has fought several hard battles, and I also know that you are all very hard, and the brothers are very tired.

Only this time, the chairman personally ordered to take the 16th Division of the Japanese Army at all costs in order to boost the prestige of the army and the morale of the soldiers and civilians of the Anti-Japanese War. This means that this time, like me, you can't take care of the casualties of your troops.

I know that each of your divisions and regiments has suffered a lot of casualties. But this time, we had to come up with some blood. As for the news of the total annihilation of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army by the 67th Army, I believe you all already know.

As the ace army of the party-state, although we have achieved some achievements, our combat achievements are not as good as theirs in comparison. At this time, if we don't pick up this burden, I'm afraid that the people will also think that we are inferior to the Eighth Route Army. ”

With a faint word of words, these division commanders and regimental commanders who originally hoped to fight leisurely and save a little blood and bones of the troops knew. In the next battle, they could only do their best to gnaw the hard bone of the 16th Division.

Seeing that these subordinates were silent, Song Xilian continued: "Commander Li of the theater also sent a telegram before, and we are responsible for today's main attack task. At that time, the allies on the other three sides will also give corresponding offensive cooperation.

Now the 13th Division of the Japanese Army is not too far away from us, and a main division of the New 67th Army has withstood the Japanese army's frantic attack for two days there. And they, I'm afraid, won't last long.

This means that our next attack must be fast, and we must rush to the arrival of Japanese reinforcements to completely annihilate the Japanese 16th Division trapped in the town. As long as it is completely annihilated, then we have half a chance of winning this battle to defend Wuhan.

We have fought with little devils in Lu'an before, and you all know how difficult it is to fight the little devils. The fact that their division was able to withstand it for two days is already very remarkable. Not to mention, they also participated in the battle to encircle and annihilate the 10th Division earlier.

Even if there are still some disputes between our two armies, the strong in the army are respected. They have played the morale of the Eighth Route Army, so how can we bow to the upper hand? They only seek to annihilate the Japanese army regardless of casualties, is our 71st Army worse than them? ”

After saying the words with a little bit of agitation, these can be said to be division commanders and regimental commanders from the Central Army, and they also know that no matter from which angle they look at this attack, they don't seem to have much to choose from.

After the meeting, the units of the 71st Army, which had already finished eating, also began preparations before the attack. At the same time, the combat units of the 51st Army and the 77th Army also pulled to the front line of confrontation with the little devils.

After receiving the report from the front, Keisuke Fujie did not feel any surprise. After all, compared to the troops at hand, the troops of the Fifth Theater that surrounded them this time were several times more than them.

It's just that seeing that there is no intelligence on the southern position, Fujie Keisuke said with some surprise: "Didn't the Eighth Route Army make any moves?" ”

'Report to the division commander, I have not received any information from the defenders of the southern position for the time being. I also asked before, but the defenders of the southern position reported that they were in the forward position and did not see the Eighth Route Army gathering troops.

Since last night, they have deployed only a few troops in the blocking positions that confront us. After a rotation this morning, there was no superfluous action either. It seems, they seem to be quiet today. ’

Such an answer made Keisuke Fujie also frown a little and said, "That's not right! Last night they shelled us all night. It is impossible not to do anything today? What exactly are their plots? ”

Although he was accustomed to He Zhengdao's unconventional moves, Keisuke Fujie felt that no movement was actually more terrifying than having action, which worried him more. After all, he knew very well that the attack of the Eighth Route Army was very sharp and terrifying!

"Division Commander, I also think this matter is strange, but I am afraid that we have not received much information at the moment, and we will not be able to make accurate judgments. But in any case, what we need to focus on now is how to defend against their attacks from three sides. ’

Listening to the words of the chief of staff, Keisuke Fujie shook his head solemnly and said, "If you really think like this, I'm afraid that you will fall for their plan." This tactic looks a bit like the 'encirclement of three ques' in the Chinese art of war.

If my judgment is correct, their real killer weapon is probably the Eighth Route Army in the south. If we transfer the main forces to the remaining three blocking positions, then they will carry out a fierce surprise attack, and we are afraid that we will be in trouble. ”

If He Zhengdao could hear Keisuke Fujie's analysis at this moment, I am afraid that he would also feel funny. But thinking about it from another angle, He Zhengdao and the 67th Army under his command are already real opponents in the eyes of the Japanese army and Fujie Keisuke! (To be continued.) )
