Chapter 507: The way of using troops in the duel between generals and commanders

Seeing that Yue Weihan was silent all the time, General Wei Lihuang hurriedly said, "Zhongshu, you don't want to say something?" ”

"What is there to say?" Yue Weihan waved his hand and said, "The ancients said that the general will not be subject to the orders of the monarch outside, since Dai Anlan is the commander of the 4th Group Army, then he should be responsible for the hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers under his command, if I have to say it, then in a word, there has never been an invincible enemy in this world!" ”

…………

Yu'er Cliff, the temporary headquarters of the 4th Army.

"There is no invincible enemy in this world!?" Dai Anlan frowned for a long time, and then turned his head to General Deng Hua, the political commissar of the 4th Group Army, and said, "Political commissar, the general seat said this?" ”

"That's it, nothing else." Deng Hua nodded, spread his hands and said with a wry smile, "The head seat is really a treasure of words." ”

Chief of Staff Liao Yaoxiang frowned and said, "What does the chief seat mean by this?" ”

Deng Hua analyzed: "I think the meaning is nothing more than two layers, one is that the main force of the field army is afraid that it will not be able to take care of us, and our group army has to face the upcoming encirclement and suppression operation of the Kwantung Army alone; The second meaning is that the general seat hopes that we can establish the belief of victory, give full play to the advantages of guerrilla warfare and sports warfare in the mountainous areas, and firmly contain the main force of the Kwantung Army! ”

"Guerrilla warfare in the mountains, sports warfare?" Dai Anlan sank slightly, and then said to Deng Hua, "Political commissar, you are a big expert in this regard, tell me, how should this battle be fought next?" ”

Dai Anlan's words are not self-modest, don't look at Deng Hua's young political commissar, but he is seriously from the old Red Army, if you want to talk about the experience of guerrilla warfare in the mountainous areas, the ** generals from the Huangpu branch really can't be compared with these Red Army generals from the mud.

"I don't dare to be an expert, but I just have a little experience." Deng Hua waved his hand and said, "Guerrilla warfare can be summed up in nothing more than sixteen words, the enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy retreats and I chase, the enemy is stationed and disturbs me, and the enemy is thin and I fight!" As for movement warfare, it is to find ways to mobilize the enemy, and then look for fighters in the movement to weaken its living forces as much as possible. ”

After saying this, Deng Hua said again: "However, there must be a prerequisite for all this, that is, our army must fully grasp the enemy's movements, so I suggest that the special service regiments directly under the headquarters and the special operations teams directly under each division be scattered out, and the movements of the Japanese army should be closely monitored in all corners of the periphery of Yanshan!" ”

…………

Shanhaiguan, headquarters of the 1st Front Army of the Kwantung Army.

Two days have passed, and all units of the Kwantung Army participating in the war have basically been deployed in place.

Mio Nakazawa put down the phone and said to Okamura Ningji, who was sitting opposite: "Your Excellency Marshal, the 16 infantry divisions of the main force of our front army have advanced to the line of Santunying, Taipingzhai, Gehetou, and Maquanzi respectively, and most of the 12 mountain divisions of the rest of the armies have also arrived in the predetermined area, and they have already formed a three-sided encirclement of the Zhina Army flowing through the Yanshan Mountains. ”

After saying this, Mitsuo Nakazawa said again: "Oh yes, Yoshio Shinozuka's Méng Sui Front Army also transferred 5 cavalry divisions and 6 hún brigades to cooperate from the west side. ”

"Okay." Okamura Ninji said happily, "Order all departments, step by step, fight steadily, neither lightly attack the enemy, nor cower!" It's called ...... Ironclad! ”

…………

Yu'er Cliff, the temporary headquarters of the 4th Army.

Liao Yaoxiang hurriedly walked into the war room and said to Dai Anlan: "Brother Seagull, traces of the Japanese army have been found in Santun Camp, Taiping Village, Gehetou, Maquanzi and other directions. ”

"Oh?" Dai Anlan immediately hurried to the map.

Liao Yaoxiang also followed and stood in front of the map, and circled the location of Santun Camp and other places from the map with a pencil, and said after a while: "The Kwantung Army's movements are very fast, so quickly they have formed a flanking situation against our army from the east and south, and according to the reports of the various reconnaissance teams, the Japanese army participating in this encirclement and suppression has at least 15 divisions and regiments!" ”

"15 divisions!?" Dai Anlan said coldly, "That's 300,000 people, more than twice the size of our army!" ”

"I'm afraid it's more than that." Deng Hua suddenly walked out of the lounge next door and said in a deep voice, "I'm worried, the Kwantung Army is likely to have mobilized troops in the west and north directions. ”

"There are enemies on the west and north sides as well?" Liao Yaoxiang said awe-inspiringly.

Deng Hua nodded, and said solemnly: "If this is the case, then the space left for us to turn to war is extremely limited, in order to break the Japanese army's ironclad encirclement strategy, our group army must find a way to break one part of it first, jump out of the encirclement first, and then lead the Kwantung Army by the nose in the mountains!" ”

Dai Anlan said: "Political commissar, tell me your specific thoughts. ”

Deng Hua stretched out his hand to smooth out the map and said: "Lao Dai, Lao Liao, you see, these points where the traces of the Japanese army are found are basically above an arc, and Yu'er Cliff is the center of this arc, that is to say, the xiǎo devils are obviously coming towards Yu'er Cliff, and they know that our group army is stationed here!" ”

"The xiǎo devil of the dog day." Liao Yaoxiang said hatefully, "The nose is very smart." ”

"It's not surprising." Deng Hua said indifferently, "After all, the Japanese army has been operating in North China for several years, and it is normal to have their eyes in secret, not to mention that we have a reconnaissance unit, and the xiǎo devils also have a special team, while we are monitoring the xiǎo devils, the xiǎo devils are afraid that they are also monitoring our actions." ”

"Hey, political commissar, just say it." Dai Anlan said, "What moves? ”

Deng Hua smiled slightly and said: "Let's use the eyeliner of the xiǎo devil to make a bureau to create the illusion that the main force of our group army is moving westward in a big way, so that the Kwantung Army in Santunying, Taipingzhai, Gehetou and Maquanzi will definitely be mobilized, and then we will analyze the situation that may arise at that time." ”

Dai Anlan nodded and said, "Most of the Japanese troops in the Santun camp will go straight to the north!" ”

Liao Yaoxiang also said: "Most of the Japanese troops in the horse circle will follow and chase directly to the west!" ”

Deng Hua continued: "The Japanese troops in Taipingzhai and across the river consider that the terrain of the plains is faster, so most of them will not enter the mountainous areas, but are likely to move westward along the plains at the southern foot of Yanshan, so that the Japanese troops in the direction of Maquanzi will invisibly distance themselves from the Japanese troops in the other three directions!" ”

Dai Anlan and Liao Yaoxiang's eyes suddenly lit up.

"!" Liao Yaoxiang said viciously, "First eat the Japanese army in the direction of the horse circle, and then go straight to the Shanhaiguan, according to the information of the Ministry of Intelligence, the old devil Okamura Ningji is in Shanhaiguan, and he has been promoted to marshal, damn it, even if he can't take the Shanhaiguan this time, he has to make the old devil Okamura Ningci scared half to death!" ”

Dai Anlan nodded, and said, "But the question is, how to create the illusion that the main force of our group army is going west?" ”

"I've already figured this out." Deng Hua said, "In order to cover people's eyes and ears, we can send the 1st Division to march at night, shoot more torches, widen the distance between the marches, and then expand the cordon to prevent the Japanese army's eyes from approaching, which can create the illusion that the main force of our army is advancing westward in a big way. ”

…………

Shanhaiguan, headquarters of the 1st Front Army of the Kwantung Army.

Mitsuo Nakazawa said to Okamura Ninji: "Your Excellency Marshal, the Chinese army has left Yu'er Cliff, but it has suddenly changed to march at night and expanded the cordon, will there be any mystery in this?" ”

Okamura Ninji said, "Nakazawa-kun, what do you think there will be?" ”

Nakazawa Sanfu said: "Could it be that the Chinese army is staging a trick of 'hiding from the sky and crossing the sea'?" The deliberate change to march at night was to prevent our eyes from discovering its falsehood and reality, so as to create the illusion that the main force of the Chinese army was moving westward, but in fact? Its main force has found a hidden place to lurk in the shadows. ”

"Nakazawa-kun, your worries are very reasonable, but there is an old saying among the people of China, which is called the sophistry of soldiers." Okamura Ninji said this, and said, "As the so-called virtual and real are real, and the virtual and the real are intertwined, how do you know that the Chinese army is not playing a trick that seems to be real and virtual, and seems to be virtual and real?" Therefore, our Kwantung Army should respond to all changes with the same! ”

After saying this, Okamura Ningji said again: "Nakazawa-kun, you can make all the armies keep their distance and follow the Shina army westward, if the Shina army really goes west, it still can't get rid of the encirclement of our front army, but it is a cocoon to bind itself, if the Shina army is really in the old nòng Xuanxu, do you think it is fun to ambush in the wind and snow on such a cold day?" That's going to kill you! ”

"Hello." Sanfu Nakazawa suddenly bowed his head and said, "Mine, this is an order." ”

…………

Yu'er Cliff, deep in the dense forest.

Last night there was another heavy snowfall, which turned the entire mountain area into a blanket of silver.

In the mountain dòng that temporarily served as the headquarters, Dai Anlan, Liao Yaoxiang and Deng Hua were getting together to keep warm, although the three of them were wearing cotton clothes and wrapped in generals' coats, they still couldn't resist the invasion of this cold wind, and they were shivering from the cold.

In order not to storm the target, the officers and men of the 4th Group who were lurking did not dare to raise the fire to keep warm.

In the bitter cold of more than minus 20 degrees Celsius, the officers and men had to lie motionless in the snow like wood.

Amid the crunching footsteps, a communications staff officer stepped on the thick snow and walked into the mountain, and saluted and reported to Dai Anlan and the three with a slightly stiff movement: "Report, the Japanese army has completely entered the ambush circle, and it has been proved that its number is 4 divisions, 1 division is in the front, 1 division is behind, and the remaining 2 divisions are in the center to respond!" ”

"Good!" When Dai Anlan heard this, Huo Ran got up and said excitedly, "Pass my order, the 43rd Division will cut off its tail, and the remaining 5 divisions will concentrate all their efforts on Lao Tzu to eat the 2 divisions in the middle first!" ”

…………

Ten miles east of Yuer Cliff, valley.

Captain Li Shusen lay quietly in the cold snow, silently enduring the invasion of the bitter cold.

Since receiving the order to enter the ambush position last night, Captain Li Shusen and the 100th officers and soldiers of the whole company have been lying in this valley for a full sixteen hours, and the severe cold of minus 20 degrees Celsius has frozen Captain Li to the point of being a little unconscious, and he can't even recall what he has relied on to hold on to the present.

In order not to storm the target in advance, no one dares to raise the fire to keep warm.

When you're thirsty, grab a handful of snow in your mouth, and when you're hungry, grab a handful of fried noodles to satisfy your hunger!

The young body has long since lost consciousness, and can no longer feel the presence of hands, feet, and limbs, and the cotton clothes have been frozen into ice lumps because they have been immersed in snow water, which is hard and cold to the bone, and all the officers and men only instinctively hold the steel gun in their hands, and only instinctively hint to themselves that they will hold on for a few more minutes, hold on for a few more minutes......

Suddenly, the trumpet of the charge sounded.

Captain Li Shusen struggled to get up with a gun, and the action of getting up, which usually takes less than half a second, took him more than ten seconds at this time, and then Captain Li Shusen stepped away from the already frozen and stiff double tuǐ, like a piece of intercepted log, and moved straight forward.

Soon, the trumpets of the charge and the loud slogans were already ringing through the valley.

Amid the overwhelming sound of killing, more and more "logs" struggled to get up from the snow, and they stepped on stiff and mechanical steps, moving forward with difficulty but persistence...... However, many, many "logs" lie forever under the icy snow and never get up again.

…………

Shanhaiguan, headquarters of the 1st Front.

Hattori Kotaro hurriedly walked into the war room, and immediately suddenly retracted his feet and reported to Okamura Ninji and Nakazawa Mitsuo: "Your Excellency Marshal, Your Excellency General, the 17th Army reports that they were ambushed by the main force of the 4th Army of China near Yuer Cliff, and the attack of the China Army is very fierce, and Commander Matsushita called and said that the 17th Army can only hold out for 3 days at most!" ”

"What!?" Zhongze Sanfu Huo Ran got up and said awe-inspiringly, "Ambushed near Yuer Cliff? No, it's impossible, it's absolutely impossible, on such a cold day, ambushing in the wind and snow is suicide, it's suicide at all! No one can spend more than four xiǎo in the wild in such extreme cold weather! The people of China can't do it either! ”

"Your Excellency, General!" Hattori Kotaro bowed his head abruptly and said, "The Shina people have already done it!" ”

"The long-lost Chinese nation seems to have really awakened this time!" Okamura Ninji slowly got up and said in a deep voice, "Now, their national jīng god has been completely made by jī, and in the face of the powerful jīng god power, the limit on the human ròu body is no longer the limit!" ”

"However, no matter how powerful the jīng divine power is, it is useless in the face of absolute strength." Okamura Ninji said this, and said, "Hattori-kun, immediately call the 19th Army and limit them to the 17th Army!" "On Okamura Ninji's operational map, the 17th Army, less than 2 days away.

"Hello!" Hattori Kotaro bowed his head suddenly, and immediately took the order.

Soon, however, Hattori returned to the war room with a pale face.

"Your Excellency Marshal, I'm afraid it will be impossible for the 19th Army to arrive at Yu'er Cliff on time!" Hattori Kotaro said miserably, "Because, the 19th Army did not march west according to the marching route drawn by the headquarters, and for the sake of convenience, they marched west along the plain at the southern foot of Yanshan!" If you go back to the mountain again, it will take 4 days at the earliest, and it will be slower to enter the mountain directly! ”

"What?" Okamura Ninji couldn't help but change slightly, and then whispered to himself, "The way of using soldiers, that is, the way of controlling generals, I am not as good as him, I am not as good as him......"
