Chapter 176: Change of Tactics

At the same time that the artillery was shelling the artillery positions of the devils, the attacking troops of the devils also came within the range of the officers and men of the second battalion.

Qi Delong, the dumbfounded commander of the second battalion, set up the MG34 general-purpose machine gun and roared angrily: "Fight! Give Lao Tzu a hard beating! ”

As early as after the devil's shelling stopped, the officers and men of the 2nd Battalion, who were originally hiding in the trenches, got up and prepared for battle at the urging of their respective platoon leaders and squad leaders.

The sacrifice of his comrades-in-arms, the tragic death of Paoze, and the recruits didn't have time to grieve, so they received the order from Qi Delong to open fire, and with hatred for the devil, they pulled the trigger of their subordinates.

"Dada...... Bang Bang Bang ...... Suddenly, suddenly, ......" The gunfire of various machine guns, rifles, and pistols rang out intertwined, and tongues of hot and dazzling fire roared out from the bunker.

Thousands of devil soldiers who charged in a straggler line also began to shoot back, but the weapons of the weapons could not be compared to the German weapons in terms of rate of fire or power.

As soon as the battle began, the second battalion had the upper hand, and the dense rain of bullets suppressed the attacking troops of the devils two hundred meters away.

The dense firepower network composed of dozens of MG34 general-purpose machine guns is a nightmare for the devil infantry, and any devil who tries to charge is fallen under the MG34's gun, and the characteristic sound of tearing oilcloth into the devil's ears makes them tremble.

Not long after, under the huge casualties, the devil finally couldn't stand it anymore, leaving nearly two hundred corpses behind and rushing back like a tide.

…………………… Fengyang Gorge, save [***] headquarters.

Qiao Anbang was worried, and looked at the hot noodle soup that Liang Jiahan had brought for the fifth time, but he still had no appetite and pushed it aside.

Seeing Qiao Anbang push the bowl aside again, Liang Jiahan, who was standing aside, couldn't help frowning slightly, and said a little unhappily: "Why don't you eat?" ”

"I can't eat it." Qiao Anbang was anxious about the war, and his heart was also on fire, and his tone was naturally not very good.

"If you don't eat, the army will be able to win the battle?" Liang Jiahan pursed his lips and muttered to himself: As the commander of the three armies, you are not calm in trouble, and you can't even eat, it's really funny, I really don't know how you won so many battles before.

Liang Jiahan's voice was not small, Qiao Anbang heard it clearly, turned his head and saw her muttering a cherry mouth, glanced at herself coquettishly, and then turned her head away with a light snort.

has always been very cold and arrogant in front of Qiao Anbang, giving people a feeling of ice beauty, Liang Jiahan was originally charming, which was similar to a coquettish expression, which made Qiao Anbang slightly stunned.

After losing his mind for a while, it wasn't until Liang Jiahan put away the rice bowl on the table and was about to leave that Qiao Anbang came back to his senses, and couldn't help but shake his head and mock himself secretly, his immunity to beauties was still too weak.

Seeing Liang Jiahan turn around and leave, Qiao Anbang hurriedly raised his hand and shouted, "Hey, wait a minute!" ”

Liang Jiahan stopped and turned around and asked softly, "What's the matter?" ”

"You just said that I was not calm enough, do you have any good ideas?" Qiao Anbang asked without thinking.

"Do you really want to hear it?" Liang Jiahan turned around and asked again.

"Brainstorming, if you really have any good ideas, it doesn't hurt to listen to them!" Qiao Anbang nodded.

Liang Jiahan turned around and walked back again, walked up to Qiao Anbang and said, "The battle plan you made earlier seems to be good on the surface, but if you think about it carefully, there are still many shortcomings and shortcomings. ”

"Oh?" Qiao Anbang was slightly surprised, came to be interested, and said solemnly: "I want to hear the details." ”

Liang Jiahan pointed to the map on the table and said: "At present, Fengyang City is in a hurry, and my blocking troops are facing the attack of tens of thousands of troops, if the siege force cannot capture Fengyang City before the arrival of devil reinforcements, then our army will fall into a state of no return." ”

Qiao Anbang nodded lightly, and Liang Jiahan continued: "You must know that once the Yue army learns that its reinforcements have arrived, it will definitely do its best to entangle our army. ”

Looking up at Qiao Anbang, Liang Jiahan continued: "This should also be what you are worried about, right?" ”

"Hmmm! That's right. Qiao Anbang nodded and asked rhetorically, "Do you have any good ideas or suggestions?" ”

"The 13th Division in Fengyang City has become a turtle in the urn, there is no need to worry, now the biggest threat to us is the reinforcements of the outer army, I don't know if you have thought about it, if we can repel or eat the devil's reinforcements, the 13th Division will be wiped out." Liang Jiahan pointed to the map and said: "Now there are three divisions of the Yue Army in the entire Huainan area, even if our army can take Fengyang City and annihilate the 13th Division before the arrival of the reinforcements of the Yue Army, then the 9th and 114th divisions of the Yue Army can still attack Huaibei, and if our army wants to block the two master regiments of the devils, it must defend Fengyang and fight a war of attrition with the Yue army, so even if it can win, it will inevitably cause serious losses to our army." ”

"Do you mean to give up the siege of Fengyang City and take the initiative to attack the devil's reinforcements instead?" Qiao Anbang was slightly startled, and he had already woken up at this moment, this time the goal he set before the war was the 13th Division, but he neglected to use tactics flexibly, which just shows that Qiao Anbang's battlefield adaptability and command ability needs to be improved, after all, he is not a professional soldier.

A qualified commander is able to change or even reformulate a new corresponding battle plan according to the progress of the battle, after all, the battlefield is changing rapidly, no matter how perfect the battle plan is made before the war, it is useless, and many unexpected things often happen in the war.

At this time, the test is a commander's temporary adaptability on the battlefield.

"Yes, but not to completely abandon Fengyang City, we can leave some troops to pretend to be the main force to continue to surround and contain the Yue army in Fengyang City, and then dispatch the main force to attack any reinforcements of the Yue Army, and win by surprise, and then quickly gather the main force to attack the other way, after defeating the devil's two reinforcements, and then mobilize a large army to re-encircle Fengyang City, the 13th Division has no reinforcements outside the regiment, and there is no logistics supply inside, so it will be much easier to annihilate them." Liang Jiahan nodded and talked.

"Wonderful, with the mechanized characteristics of our army, we should not fight a tough battle and a war of attrition with the devils, we should give full play to our own advantages. As long as the 13th Division can be annihilated in one fell swoop and the 9th and 114th Divisions can be severely damaged, then the Central China Army will not be able to continue to go north in a short period of time! In this way, we will be able to free up our hands to go north to Shandong and gallop to the battlefield on the northern front! Qiao Anbang Huo Ran got up and said excitedly.

Liang Jiahan didn't know the historical trend, and was very puzzled by Qiao Anbang's proposal to go north to Shandong: "Why go north to Shandong?" ”

"The Battle of Xuzhou, the two strategic groups in the north and south of the army implemented the strategy of advancing north and south, since the threat of the south road has been lifted, we naturally want to go north to assist the fifth theater to defeat the army of the north road, so that the battle of Xuzhou will end with a victory of [***], the victory of the battle of Xuzhou, and the Central Plains will be preserved." Qiao Anbang replied excitedly, in fact, there was another aspect he didn't say, that is, if the battle of Xuzhou was won, his pheasant and base would be safe.

The victory in the Battle of Xuzhou means that the hundreds of thousands of troops in the Fifth War Zone will no longer have to retreat thousands of miles to Dabie Mountain, so that there will be no tragic incident of blowing up the mouth of the Yellow River, and tens of millions of people in the lower reaches of the Yellow River will not be displaced and suffer disasters.

I will also have time to continue to develop at full strength and expand the scale of saving [***].

Thinking of this, Qiao Anbang was in a good mood, took a step forward, and took advantage of Liang Jiahan's inattention to kiss her white as snow cheek, and then quickly turned around and strode out, shouting loudly as he walked: "Wang Gensheng, pass on my order, and all regiments immediately stop attacking!" ”

Suddenly attacked, Liang Jiahan was so shocked that she didn't react, she didn't expect that Qiao Anbang, the big villain, would dare to kiss her, thinking of this, Liang Jiahan's beautiful delicate beauty couldn't help but flush two clusters of redness, touching the cheek that was kissed just now, Liang Jiahan stomped his feet in shame and annoyance: "Bastard......"

Qiao Anbang was so frightened when he heard the words that he hurriedly ran away, the kiss just now was completely carried away and overexcited, maybe he subconsciously thought about Liang Jiahan, so he had the urge to kiss her.

But her skin was really soft, Qiao Anbang whispered to himself as he walked.

………………………… In Fengyang County, the headquarters of the 13th Division of the Army.

Chief of Staff Tian Yongzaburo walked into the headquarters with a quick step, and saluted the sad-faced state soldier with a sad face: "General, good news, the Chinese army has stopped attacking. ”

"Stopped attacking? Why? Could it be that our reinforcements have arrived? The state soldier suddenly asked.

"No, neither the 9th Division nor the 114th Division have arrived." Yusaburo shook his head and replied.

"What's going on?" The state soldier asked suspiciously.

"It's not clear what this lowly position is." Yuzaburo shook his head again and replied.

The state soldier paced back and forth with one hand on his back, and muttered for a while before he stopped and said to Tian Yongzaburo: "Tian Yongjun, strictly order all wings to strengthen their vigilance in case the people of China suddenly attack!" ”

"Hay!" Yusaburo Tin bowed his head suddenly, and then strode away with his saber on his shoulder.

This time, however, the caution of the state soldiers was somewhat redundant, because the rescue [***], who had launched a series of fierce attacks, did not attack again until the evening.

Bewildered, the state soldiers went out of the city several times to the forward positions, and when they observed the situation, he found that the squadron outside the city showed no signs of wanting to retreat, and seemed to be reinforcing the fortifications and bunkers.

"Tian Yongjun, what do you say our opponent is going to do? Do they want to deliberately paralyze us and then launch a sneak attack on the Imperial Army at night? Puzzled, the state soldier put down his binoculars and turned his head to ask.

Chief of Staff Yusaburo Tin nodded in a deep and said: "It is very likely that the people of China are cunning and do not attack well during the day, and it is very likely that they will choose to attack at night, you know, our aviation will not be able to continue to provide us with air support at night." ”

"If this is the case, then tonight is bound to be a severe test, order all troops, take strict precautions, tonight is related to the life and death of my 13th Division, all the warriors of the imperial army should fight bravely, as long as they survive tonight, the victory will definitely belong to our Imperial Army, to our 13th Division!" The state soldier said with a solemn face: "In addition, send a telegram to the 9th Division and the 114th Division, asking them to come as soon as possible!" ”

"Hay!" Yuzaburo hurriedly bowed his head and answered, and then turned around.
