Chapter 614: Counteroffensive Deployment
Hanjiasi, the headquarters of the Second Army. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In the war room, the stars shine.
Dozens of generals and colonels from the Fifth War Zone, headed by Li Delin, came to inspect the front line in Taierzhuang.
The real purpose was to convene a secret military meeting on the deployment of the counteroffensive in the Battle of Taierzhuang.
"Chief Li has arrived!"
"Hehe, sit, sit down!" Li Delin walked in briskly from the door wearing a black coat, followed by Bai Jiansheng and others, smiling, obviously in a very good mood for this inspection.
Luo Yufeng received the order and handed over the command task to Niu Xianmin and Qin Yankun, so he came over with his adjutant and a squad of guards.
He was the brigade commander who participated in this high-level military meeting.
Therefore, according to the order of position, he can only sit next to the door, in fact, he doesn't care what position he is, as long as it doesn't affect the war.
Except for a few division commanders of the Second Army, many of them were not familiar to him, so much so that he seemed somewhat isolated.
"The Japanese Seya detachment has been fighting in Taierzhuang for nine days, and its spirit has been gradually frustrated by me, and more than 20,000 troops have been attracted by us on the front line from Zaozhuang to Taierzhuang, and the conditions are ripe for the military committee to decide to fight a great war of annihilation in Taierzhuang, and we have been preparing for this battle for several months, and it is time to close the net!"
"The Japanese army is arrogant and reckless, and it is time to teach them a lesson!"
"We have more than 100,000 people, and the Japanese army is only 20,000, so we are completely sure that we will eat the other side's ......"
Luo Yufeng sat in the last seat, he knew that he had little qualifications, and he could only listen to such a meeting, and he was not qualified to speak, unless he was ordered.
Li Delin was very satisfied, at least the mood and fighting spirit of the troops were very high.
"The Theater Commander's Department has formulated a set of counteroffensive plans, and the time is a little rushed, please give me more suggestions!" Chief of Staff Xu Yanmou stood up and waved his hand to the adjutant chief behind him.
The adjutant nodded, and a huge combat map was spread out and hung on the wall.
"Everyone, please see, this is the current situation of the enemy and me in Taierzhuang, the Japanese Seya Detachment Zaotai Highway is lined up, the attack on the forward is in Taierzhuang, and the main force of the Japanese army attacking Taierzhuang is the 63rd Wing of the Japanese Army......"
In the past, everyone only cared about their own frontal enemy and took into account the nearby enemy situation, but now standing on the overall battlefield and examining the enemy situation, it is a completely different feeling.
From the map, the Japanese army went deep alone and fell into the encirclement of GJ, but due to the difference in strength, the Japanese army could not care about the danger of going deep alone, but attacked everywhere, and the use of troops was even more extreme.
It's dangerous!
Don't look at the ferocious offensive of the Japanese army now, but the internal force has been almost consumed, if you can capture Taierzhuang, maybe you can still take the initiative, but now Taierzhuang has been in ruins, but it is still in the hands of the Chinese army.
"Now we have about 60,000 Tang Army in the north, 40,000 Dian Army in the south, the Second Army and the New 38th Brigade, adding up to more than 60,000 people, and there is also a Sichuan Army on the front line of Hanzhuang......"
"In the ratio of troops, we have reached six to one, or even seven to one, and the weapons and equipment are poor, but we have sufficient ammunition, and the Japanese army's ammunition has been consumed and can no longer be connected, and their logistics supply is not as good as ours now......"
"The Japanese army on the Linyi side can't ignore it, once we fight here, the Japanese army in Linyi will definitely be reinforced, and we should exclude the alert troops!"
"On the Linyi side, the two generals Zhang and Pang joined forces, plus the reinforced 46th Army, which can basically ensure that it is difficult for the Japanese army to cross Linyi and go south to Taierzhuang!" Chief of Staff Xu Yanmou explained.
"Do you have no objections to the counteroffensive plan?"
"Nope!"
"Nope!"
"Okay, then I'll talk about the specific deployment!" Li Delin left his seat, walked to the map, picked up the baton and put it on the position of Hanzhuang, "On the left side, the first part of the Sichuan Army launched an attack on the Japanese army in the Hanzhuang area, pinning down the Japanese army in the Hanzhuang area, the 30th Division and the cavalry brigade of the second group army Zhang Jinzhao went north along the Lintong Highway to warn the Japanese army in Lincheng, the 31st Division and the 182nd Division of the 60th Army attacked and advanced from Zhangzhuang and Wulifang to Nigou and Zhangshan, and the 110th Division and Wupo made an offensive posture to Yixian, and on the right side, the 27th Division and the 183rd Division of the 60th Army were attacked by Gengzhuang, Yuzhuang ......
The 184th Division strengthened the frontal ...... of Taierzhuang
The 59th Army, the 3rd Army Corps, and the 46th Army monitored the Japanese 5th Division.
The 20th Army Corps moved from north to south, annihilating the Japanese army in the area surrounding the line from Zizaozhuang to Taierzhuang, and the battle time was expected to be about five days. ”
"Chief Li, who should be responsible for the enemy of Taierzhuang?"
"The new 38th Brigade fought hard in Taierzhuang for nine days and nights, suffered heavy casualties, and suffered heavy losses, after the counterattack, the 184th Division will replace the new 38th Brigade to rest and replenish." Xu Yanmou said, this is also the decision made by several of them after deliberation on the way here.
The new 38th Brigade can't be allowed to fight again, otherwise this elite will be disabled.
"There is no problem with the new 38th Brigade withdrawing to rest, but the Japanese troops in Taierzhuang City are ours, and no one wants to snatch them!" Luo Yufeng Huo Ran stood up and said loudly.
"Brigade Commander Luo, your brigade has suffered too many casualties, and we can't let you fight any more, so let's withdraw......"
"No, I, Luo Yufeng, have made a military order, Taierzhuang must be complete in my hands, otherwise, I can't explain to Chief Li and President Yan!"
Bringing the old Jiang out, this can't be ignored, not to mention that even if the new 38th Brigade does not serve as the main force of the counteroffensive, there is still a place to help.
Li Delin exchanged views with Bai Jiansheng, Liu Weizhang and others.
"Okay, I agree that the enemy inside Taierzhuang City will be handed over to you for disposal, and the enemy outside the city will be dealt with by the 184th Division!" Li Delin stood up and announced.
Although it is said that defending Taierzhuang is already a great credit, Luo Yufeng is still a little unwilling, but he has no way to fight for anything, the casualties of the new 38th Brigade are too great, especially the main regiment, more than half of the sacrifices, and most of them are lying in the field hospital waiting for treatment, and there are not a few who are embarrassed.
The two main regiments of the 2nd Regiment and the 3rd Regiment also suffered more than one-third casualties, and their weapons and equipment, except for the 7th Artillery Regiment and the Armored Brigade, all suffered considerable battle losses.
The 7th Artillery Regiment and the Armored Brigade were originally prepared for a counteroffensive, so, in the nine-day battle, except for the armored brigade that was used in the night attack on Beiluo, they disappeared.
The new 38th Brigade, with a total strength of nearly 12,000 troops, has only been able to fight for more than half of the new 38 Brigade after nine days of fighting, excluding the wounded and non-combat attrition.
No wonder Li Delin quietly shed tears after hearing the huge casualties of the new 38th Brigade.
At this time, no one dared to say that Lao Jiang used the Battle of Xuzhou to eliminate the miscellaneous cards, and looked at the new 38th Brigade, and after a battle, half of the people were gone.
Try to change your Shoutaierzhuang?
Li Delin is ambitious at the moment, without you Tang Keqin, I have the 60th Army, and GJ is not the only elite of you, my old Li can't beat the Seya detachment?
"Sun Fanglu!"
"Here!"
"In the name of the commander of the Fifth Theater of Operations, I appoint you as the commander-in-chief of the left front, responsible for directing the attack on the left side!"
"Thank you for Chief Li's trust, the ministry will definitely kill the little devil and let him fall to the ground!" Sun Fanglu said loudly.
"Lu Xiong!"
"Get rid of Brother Lu on the right side!"
"Don't worry, Lu Xiong will live up to expectations!" Lu Xiong solemnly said that he was still very grateful to Li Delin for trusting him so much.
"The time of the counteroffensive is tentatively set for four o'clock in the morning tomorrow, this time is the time when people are most sleepy, you can hit the Japanese army by surprise, everyone go back and prepare, the troops must arrive at the attack position before this time tomorrow!"
"Yes!"
"Adjournment!"
"Brigade Commander Luo, please stay for a while!"
"Yes!"
Li Delin summoned him alone, obviously for a purpose, perhaps to appease himself, after all, in such a big battle, the new 38th Brigade was the original initiator, and it was indeed a little unfair to only get the task of solving the Japanese army in Taierzhuang City.
However, it is nothing to be unfair, fighting a war is not about politics, but also about balancing, Li Delin's deployment is based on winning this battle, and other factors can only be taken into consideration.
You can't postpone the course of the battle because you have to give him credit for taking care of the new 38th Brigade, right?
This is also impossible, Li Delin really wants to be partial, it's not impossible, but he can't do too much, otherwise others will have opinions.
"Chief Li, do you still have something to do with the department?"
"Brigade Commander Luo, today's meeting is also because of your telegram, which has strengthened the determination of the theater commander's department, the main force of the counteroffensive did not consider your brigade, mainly considering that your casualties are too large, and you have been fighting hard for so many days, if you are allowed to serve as the main attacker again, I, the commander of the theater of operations, will not be able to get over it!"
"Thank you, Chief Li, for your concern."
"You are not happy in your heart, I know, but the way to lead the soldiers, one by one, the strings in this brain can't jump too tightly, if it's too tight, it's easy to break."
"The ministry understands, thank you for Chief Li's teachings!"
"I left you behind because I had something to discuss with you." Li Delin said, "Your division commander Leng has allocated the 7th Artillery Regiment and the Armored Brigade to you to use, this time the counteroffensive operation, I hope you can let these two troops cooperate with other troops to fight." ”
Li Delin knew that in terms of heavy firepower, GJ was still a long way behind the Japanese army, and if the heavy artillery regiment and armored brigade attached to the new 38th Brigade could be transferred and used, then the firepower disadvantage would not be reversed, at least it would not be without the means to suppress the other side.
Luo Yufeng had already guessed that Li Delin must have borrowed the "Heavy Artillery Regiment and Armored Brigade" when he left him, but the new 38th Brigade belonged to the Fifth War Zone, and there was no need for Lao Li to discuss with him.
But Lao Li put down his body so much and discussed with him, which is a kind of respect and a kind of attention.
Even if he didn't greet him, Li Delin could order the transfer of the heavy artillery regiment and the armored brigade together, he was the commander of the theater of operations, and he had this power.
"Commander Li, you can transfer the 7th Artillery Regiment and the Armored Brigade to use, but there is only one condition for the department!" Luo Yufeng said.
"You say!"
"I don't want to use them separately, I want to use them together."
"Centralized?" Li Delin frowned slightly, he asked the heavy artillery regiment and the armored brigade to come over, just to split them up and strengthen the firepower of several troops.
Luo Yufeng actually asked not to use it separately, which was completely contrary to his original intention.
"Whether it is a heavy artillery regiment or an armored brigade, only by using it in a concentrated way can it exert great combat effectiveness, the Beiluo ambush is the use of the assault tactics of the armored brigade group, if there is no armored brigade, we have not been able to annihilate more than 1,000 Japanese troops in such a short period of time that night, and when we were in Pukou, there were also successful examples." Luo Yufeng explained.
The armored brigade is used intensively, this is no problem, and there are not many generals in China who know how to use armored tactics, and this Li Delin does not have much resistance.
Even if the heavy artillery regiment should also be used in a centralized manner, he will be a little unacceptable, and the limited artillery can only be used to maximize combat effectiveness, and it has always been advocated that it should be used separately, and it is not easy to be targeted by the Japanese army, and the probability of annihilation of the whole army is much smaller.
Heavy artillery is a treasure, and you can't buy it if you want to.
"If Commander Li agrees to this condition, I will immediately hand over the command of the heavy artillery regiment and the armored brigade." Luo Yufeng said.
"Brigade Commander Luo, the heavy artillery regiment is only assigned to your department for use, and it is also subordinate to the war zone, and the war zone has the right to decide how to use it, as for how to use it, it depends on the situation, right?"
"The Seventh Artillery Regiment was begged by Division Commander Leng from the president, but it was temporarily assigned to our brigade for use, and it was also his intention to use it centrally......" Luo Yufeng didn't say anything superfluous, I believe that Commander Li can hear it.
It was Leng Feng's meaning, Li Delin heard it and had to pay attention to it.
