Chapter 332: Preparing for a counterattack

"Whew"

A black sè figure swept low in front of the position, bringing up gusts of air, and a black iron bump fell from under the belly of the plane and landed in the formation of the attacking Japanese army in front of the position.

"Boom"

A puff of black smoke rose into the sky, and countless metal fragments flew in all directions with a strong air current, and at the same time, the Japanese offensive formation was missing another piece, and the power of the aerial bomb was not something that the Japanese army's fragile ròu body could resist.

"Haha, I didn't expect our Lao Qiu to have such a generous day, and this plane can still be on call. xiǎo devil, you also have today! Qiu Weida, the commander of the 306th Regiment on the Purple Mountain, was dancing happily in the command post.

A round of bombs from the plane just now directly broke up the Japanese attack, and the Japanese army left hundreds of corpses and reluctantly retreated.

Under the combined attack of the 1st Air Division and the 4th Air Division, the 3rd Flying Division of the Japanese Army was almost completely wiped out, and the 5th Flying Division transferred from the Zhutun Army in North China had suffered a great loss from Chahar. Every time they attacked, they did not work hard and were perfunctory, so the sky over the current Nanjing City was completely under the control of the Chahar Air Force.

After seizing air supremacy, this battle was much easier to fight, and nearly 100 Stuka and P47 and Messerschmitt ME-109 fighters were hovering in the sky at any time, and the Japanese army's firepower could not be brought into full play.

As soon as the Japanese artillery fired, it would be immediately discovered by the reconnaissance planes hovering in the sky, and if it could not fire a few shots, it would be destroyed and attacked.

Seeing that the troops that had just launched the attack were defeated again, Lieutenant General Yoshizumi Ryosuke, the commander of the Ninth Division, was so angry that he threw the binoculars in his hand aside and said angrily: "This battle can't be fought, the Imperial Flying Divisions are all a bunch of waste, and they even let the planes of the Chinese people bomb our heads wantonly, and lose the face of our Imperial warriors." ”

"Your Excellency the commander of the reporting division, Major General Nobutoki Ide reports that due to the large number of casualties, please ask for instructions on whether to suspend the attack?" An officer ran to report.

"Okay, suspend the attack, I want to ask Commander Matsui, this battle can't be fought like this, the casualties of the troops are too great." As soon as it comes to the casualties of the troops, Yoshizumi Ryosuke's blood is dripping, since the Chahar Air Force seized air supremacy, the casualties of the Ninth Division have skyrocketed, and more than 7,000 people have been killed or injured in just two days, which is almost two infantry wings.

No, we can't go on like this, and if we continue like this, the Ninth Division will be exhausted. Although Yoshizumi Ryosuke is cruel, he is not stupid, his future is closely linked to the Ninth Division, and if the Ninth Division is exhausted, it will be time for him to return home.

Just when Yoshizumi Ryosuke took the phone and was about to ask Matsui Shigen for help, the conference room of the Nanjing Garrison Headquarters was star-studded, and several ** generals and several division commanders from Chahar were also present, and everyone's eyes were full of excitement.

Although I don't know what happened to Commander Su calling everyone over, but after the battle was won on the front line, the faces of the military commanders of their troops were bright, and they could also be taller when they walked.

Su Tong's blazing eyes swept over everyone present, and everyone present was swept away by Su Tong's eyes, and all of them were "Everyone! After the joint efforts of everyone these days, the Japanese offensive has been repelled by us, and it can be said that from today onwards, the advantage of the battlefield is in our hands! ”

"Bang la la"

A round of applause rang out in the room, and everyone applauded the prefect who had pulled them out of despair and hell.

Su Tong looked at the enthusiastic eyes of the people next to him, and muttered in his heart, "These guys, are you really so kind when Lao Tzu gives you a gun and a cannon, you are using it well now, but when the bullet runs out and you find that the bullet is not replenished, you know that you are crying?" ”

Su Tong is now very generous and energetic to squander these ** casually, Su Tong knows a truth, from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift. When accustomed to semi-automatic and automatic weapons, artillery support and aircraft support, and then compared with the feeling of buckling the rope when fighting on an errand under the chairman, will the balance in the hearts of these ** generals not tilt to Chahar's side?

Su Tong also counted on all the ** generals to vote on his side, but as long as he could dig up a few generals he liked, it was enough. As the stall became bigger and bigger, Su Tong also found that the talents under his command were becoming more and more insufficient, but as the stall became bigger and bigger, the talent problem became more and more tense. It's too late to cultivate yourself, what to do, I have to poach the corner, as the saying goes, as long as the hoe dances well, how can there be a corner that can't be dug down. Chief Su is now dancing that xiǎo hoe fast and digging into the corner of the chairman's wall?

Su Tong continued: "Since the advantage of the battlefield is on our side now, then we can launch a counteroffensive next." What do you think? ”

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but hesitate a little, after continuous fierce battles, most of the troops of the ** are now dissatisfied with the formation, although there are aircraft support and artillery support, but now to launch a counteroffensive is more than enough and not enough.

Su Tong also counted in his heart after seeing the hesitant eyes of the ** generals, he smiled and said: "Don't worry, I know that the casualties of all troops in this battle are not xiǎo, this attack should be dominated by the troops of our seventh war zone, you can rest assured!"

After listening to Su Tong's words, the generals all felt a burst of heat on their faces, you see that Chief Su sent us guns and bullets, but we took it, but when it was our turn to move the real thing, was this a big man's business?

At this time, I saw a person standing up next to him and said loudly: "Where is this words, Chief Su, these days I have taken care of you, and you have sent guns and cannons to our 78th Army, which has made our 78th Army turn from danger to safety, otherwise our 78th Army would have been wiped out a long time ago, and now we are going to fight a counterattack, how can we miss our 78th Army?" This battle is counted as a share of our 78th Army, see if I don't beat out all the of the xiǎo devils! ”

"Good!" Su Tong nodded with satisfaction, "It seems that the buddy's guns were not given away in vain, isn't this just one?" ’

"Commander Song's courage is commendable, but I also know that Commander Song's 78th Army has suffered heavy casualties now, and besides, this time we are only a partial counterattack, and we don't need to mobilize the army, so you should still take defending your position as the first priority. This local counteroffensive will not be without you. ”

Su Tong said, here turned his eyes to Peng Zeyuan, the commander of the 10th Division, and Zhao Yanda, the commander of the newly formed 41st Division, "Commander Peng, Commander Zhao, this counteroffensive will be dominated by your two divisions." Due to the lack of troops, the purpose of our counteroffensive was to inflict heavy damage on the Japanese 16th Division entrenched in Máo's home lane. Division Commander Peng, the defense line of your division will be taken over by the 42nd Division, tomorrow at 7 o'clock in the morning, I will ask the 4th Artillery Division to give you 20 minutes of artillery support, and then quickly launch an attack on the 16th Division, I do not ask you to annihilate all the enemy troops, but at least give me one or two wings of them, Division Commander Peng, can you do it? ”

Su Tong knew that it was unrealistic to annihilate a division of the Japanese army when the Japanese army was gathered, but it should not be a problem to take the opportunity to annihilate one or two of his wings under the cover of aircraft and artillery fire. He just wants to let Matsui Ishine know, don't look at your army, but buddy can still bite you off a piece of ròu.

Peng Zeyuan stood up solemnly and said proudly: "Please rest assured, sir, if the 10th Division does not fight this battle, you will be removed from your humble position." ”

"En" Su Tong nodded, and then turned to Zhao Yanda, the commander of the 41st Division, and said: "Commander Zhao, considering that your division has only been formed for a long time, so the task of your division this time is to block the attack, and as soon as the battle starts, the enemy will inevitably reinforce the 16th Division from the direction of Shazhou and Tangjiaying, and the task of your division is to firmly nail those two directions, and be sure to stick to the eight times." Can you do it? ”

Zhao Yanda stood up proudly and said, "Chief Su, did you only hold the eight xiǎo hours?" You are too much to look at our 41st Division, or you can change us with the 10th Division, and we will fight the main attack, although our 41st Division has only been formed for less than three months, but I believe that our 41st Division is definitely no worse than the 10th Division in battle! ”

"What? Okay, you Zhao Yanda, you have only been the division commander for a few days, you dare to look at our tenth division, and you dare to compete with me for the main attack! If we have the ability, we will each pull the team out and practice. After hearing Zhao Yanda's words, Peng Zeyuan jumped up suddenly, and yelled at Zhao Yanda with wide eyes.

"It's better than whom, who's afraid of whom!" Zhao Yanda was not to be outdone, and glared back.

"Okay, you all shut up, and you're not afraid of the jokes of all the chiefs and robes here!" Although Su Tong was a reproachful word, there was not much anger in his tone. 'Rejoice when you hear the war', this is the army Su Tong wants, if you cringe when you hear that the big war is coming, it is better not to have such a force.

Seeing Zhao Yanda and Peng Zeyuan's blushing and thick necks, the ** generals on the side couldn't help but feel ashamed. Look at the people, a division of less than 20,000 people dares to attack more than 20,000 people of a standing division of the people, and they also talk about annihilating one or two wings of the people, but what about themselves, if there are no three to five times the enemy's troops, they don't even dare to think about it.

What is it? That's the gap! Everyone is an old man who has been a soldier for many years, and they can see that people's pride is engraved in their bones, not for everyone to see.

In fact, this is also the concept that Su Tong has been trying to instill in Chahar, regardless of whether he can fight or not, fight first and then say, to put it bluntly, he will not lose the battle, you are allowed to defeat the battle, but you are never allowed to be cowardly before fighting, this kind of person we Chahar don't need.

Su Tong interrupted everyone's reverie with a wave of his hand, "Okay, today's meeting will start here first, let's go back to prepare for the fire, remember to attack on time at seven o'clock tomorrow morning!" ”
