Chapter 633 Jiang Taigong fishes, and the willing person takes the bait (ask for subscription!) )
After a short period of shock, the commander of the 124th Division of the Japanese Army, Lieutenant General Fukuda, waved his hand helplessly and said: "Chief of Staff, immediately report the current situation of our 124th Division to the former enemy headquarters in Shenyang." In addition, we requested tactical guidance from the command headquarters and increased the reinforcement of our 124th Division by the air force. At the same time, we will deliver all kinds of ammunition and materials urgently needed by our 124th Division. ”
"Hai, Your Excellency, Division Commander. However, after the bombs of the baggage wing were destroyed, the existing shells of our field artillery wing could last at most half an hour of shelling. During the day today, whether the troops will continue to attack or wait for the logistics department to deliver the ammunition urgently needed by the troops, and then the troops will attack again. The chief of staff asked in a voice as he answered.
"Without artillery support, we can have the command of the former enemy provide us with a steady stream of air support. I ordered the 2nd Infantry Wing and the Field Artillery Wing to continue the attack after breakfast and shoot all the shells out for me. Remember, the troops of the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side must not be given any respite. The 3rd and 4th Infantry Wings are ready to participate in the battle at any time and participate in the battle at any time. Lieutenant General Fukuda ordered with a decisive face.
"Hai, Your Excellency the Division Commander," replied Rear Admiral Kuroda in a loud voice.
Although Lieutenant General Fukuda's wishes are very good, he believes that Shenyang Airport will definitely provide him with a steady stream of air reinforcements. However, he seems to have forgotten one thing. That is, at this moment, it is not only his 124th Division that needs air reinforcements, but also the remaining Fourth Route Army, which also needs a large number of air reinforcements.
And the entire Shenyang airport, which can provide hundreds of thousands of combat aircraft for the use of hundreds of thousands of troops, is less than a hundred. As for the bombers, there was only one bomber group, 36 aircraft. On average, only six planes can be allocated to each army. In addition to the flight time of the aircraft, replenishment of ammunition and fuel....a series of processes. If Lieutenant General Fukuda wants to receive continuous air reinforcements, then the maximum number of planes that come to his head at a time can only be three.
It is clear that Vice Admiral Fukuda's dream of increasing air support is unlikely to come true, at least for now.
In the Shenyang City Supreme Headquarters, with the arrival of Lieutenant General Kimura Hyotaro, Chief of Staff of the Kwantung Army. Major General Kuroda, the supreme commander of Shenyang, did not hesitate and took the initiative to give up his headquarters as the supreme front enemy headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in Mengshan Mountain. The supreme commander of the Japanese army in Shenyang, Major General Hei Tian, was relegated to the post of temporary chief of staff of the headquarters.
Early in the morning, Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura had just arrived in the war room, and he hadn't had time to take a sip of tea. Major General Kuroda, who looked anxious, rushed into the war room out of breath. Then, he said anxiously.
"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, the 124th Division is in an emergency..."
"Huh?" Kimura Hyotaro frowned tightly, took the telegram, and began to browse quickly.
After reading the telegram, it was just when Hyotaro Kimura was just about to speak. The telegrams of the remaining four armies and the four divisions were almost discussed, and one after another were handed to him, making him suddenly feel overwhelmed.
Soon, the five main divisions of the Eighth Route Army, which were responsible for sending troops to encircle and suppress the Meng Mountain area, were simultaneously blocked by the Eighth Route Army yesterday. And last night, he was attacked by the Eighth Route Army, the troops suffered heavy losses, and they needed air reinforcements....' A series of telegrams reached his hands.
After reading the pile in his hand, almost all of them were 100,000 urgent telegrams asking for help. The commander-in-chief, Hyotaro Kimura, handed the telegram to Major General Kuroda in front of him. Frowning his brows, he asked rhetorically with a puzzled expression.
"Kuroda-kun, what do you think the Eighth Route Army in the Meng Mountain area wants to do. According to the intelligence department of our Kwantung Army, the latest reconnaissance learned. The troops of the Eighth Route Army in the Meng Mountain area: there was only one main column, one recruit column, and less than 40,000 troops. If they concentrate their forces, take the initiative to abandon the Meng Mountain area, and jump out of the encirclement of our army in advance, there may still be hope of surviving. However, if you divide your troops to block our troops, is that different from sending us to death? ”
"Hai, Your Excellency the Chief of Staff is wise, and he thinks so in a humble position. However, Liu Hua, the new commander of the Eighth Route Army, has the title of 'God of War' in China. As far as I know, many of the battles he commanded, and the various tactics he used, were greatly beyond our expectations. Therefore, I really can't figure out what the psychology of this commander of the Eighth Route Army is thinking? Why did you formulate such a tactic that is close to death? After a brief moment of contemplation, Rear Admiral Kuroda spoke. ,
"Well, this Liu Hua is indeed a very good commander. Our Imperial Japanese Army, many excellent senior commanders, were placed in his hands. Saying this, the Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura, changed his words and ordered with a decisive face.
"But it doesn't matter what he thinks. Since he is now dividing his troops to block the attack, then don't blame me for being unkind to the Imperial Japanese Army. The air force units were ordered to be dispatched immediately to carry out air reinforcements to various combat units. At the same time, the logistics department was instructed that what the front-line troops need, we will send them. In a word, take advantage of the favorable opportunity of the Eighth Route Army's division of troops, no matter how much it costs, we must kill and injure their living forces as much as possible, and prepare for our final decisive battle. ”
"Your Excellency the Chief of Staff is wise, and you will go and convey the order..."Lieutenant General Heitian, after Xiaoxiao patted a sycophant, he spoke.
At this moment, Liu Hua, the commander of the Northeast Field Army, who was being discussed, worried, and puzzled by countless Japanese commanders. He was sitting leisurely in the former enemy headquarters in Baishan County, and his deputy, Commander Zhou Baozhong. The two men gathered around the map, discussing the latest enemy reports from various units on the front line at this moment.
In the face of the Japanese army's five-way army, hundreds of thousands of heavy troops surrounded and suppressed. As the supreme commander of the entire base area, why was Liu Hua able to sit in the headquarters in such a leisurely manner, talking and laughing, and not being shrouded in the tense atmosphere outside the headquarters or even in the entire base area?
In Liu Hua's own words, he at this moment is just like Jiang Taigong at that time. And the Japanese army's five-way army is the fish in Jiang Taigong's mouth. And now, what he has done is for Jiang Taigong to fish, and those who wish to take the bait.
As for this, the reason is very simple. The Japanese army of five routes marched hand in hand. As soon as one side is mortally attacked, the other armies will immediately pounce on them like hungry wolves. At that time, there is only one way left for him, that is, under the internal and external attacks of the Japanese army, the whole army will be annihilated.
In the face of the Japanese army's style of play, as Liu Hua from later generations. first thought of a classic battle in the later liberation war. That was the tactic used by nearly a million Kuomintang troops when they attacked the liberated area of Sulu.
Of course, there are problems that come up with them, and there are problems that can be solved. And General Su Yu at that time was the one who solved the problem.
In the face of the attack of the Kuomintang army advancing in unison, General Su Yu made good use of the Kuomintang army and the mentality of meritorious service among various units. In the end, in Meng Lianggu, the Kuomintang army was ruthlessly pulled out and ate its army. Eventually, the enemy's deployment was defeated, making the enemy frightened and forcing him to retreat.
At this moment, the situation he faced was basically no different from that of the East China Field Army at that time. Of course, the tactics formulated by Liu Hua were a little different from those of General Su Yu at that time. That is, from waiting for the enemy to take out his own horse's feet, he has turned it into his own initiative to attack and knock the enemy out of his horse's feet.
As long as the enemy is out of the way, the more than 10,000 elite troops in Liu Hua's hands will take advantage of the situation. With the cooperation of the blocking troops, the Japanese troops with 1 tail out of the tail were completely annihilated in the fastest time. In this way, the deployment of the enemy was 1uan and the victory of the rice encirclement and suppression operation was achieved.
Although, for their own tactics, for the combat effectiveness of the troops. Commander Liu Hua is very confident.
However, Commander Zhou Baozhong beside him did not have so much confidence, after all, the disparity in the strength of the enemy and us was obviously there. Thinking that each main division on the front line, with a strength of more than 6,000 people, must stubbornly block the attack of more than 20,000 people of a main division of the Japanese army. In Zhou Baozhong's heart, he has never been at ease since the contact between the enemy and us.
Thinking of this, Zhou Baozhong, who really couldn't hold back, asked Liu Hua, the commander in front of him who was sitting firmly in Diaoyutai, with a worried face.
"Commander, since the telegram was received last evening. So far, there is not a word about the five main divisions, you see. Last night's night attack, will there be any problems..."
Looking at the worried look in front of him, Commander Zhou Baozhong didn't even eat breakfast because of this. Liu Hua shook his head helplessly and said with an affirmative expression.
"Old Zhou, it's only been less than half an hour, and it's the fourth time you've asked me this question. However, I still said the same thing as before, we have to believe in our troops. More importantly, night raids have always been the most advantageous and effective tactics for our Eighth Route Army troops to deal with the Japanese army. Just sit here and don't worry. If nothing else, the good news of the divisions is coming. ”,
Sure enough, as soon as Liu Hua's words fell, a rush of footsteps reached the ears of the two. After seeing a communications staff officer standing in front of him panting with a telegram. Zhou Baozhong asked with an eager expression.
"Staff Officer Wang, is it a front-line battle report?"
"Yes, two commanders, the telegram from the commander of the first division of the recruit column, Wang Qiang...", the communications staff officer hurriedly replied. At the same time, he handed the telegram in his hand to the hand of Commander Zhou Baozhong in front of him.
After receiving the telegram, Zhou Baozhong, who had already looked anxious, immediately began to browse quickly. At the same time, the frowning brow on his face also stretched out in an instant. Looking at the telegram in his hand, a thick smile began to slowly appear on Zhou Baozhong's face.
Seeing the smile on Zhou Baozhong's face in front of him, Liu Hua seemed to know the general content of the telegram, and asked with a smile on his face.
"Old Zhou, I'm not wrong. Speaking of night battles, our squadron is the ancestor of Xiao devils. More importantly, our troops have undergone several successive rounds of training, plus an actual combat training in the attack on Baishan County. Its combat effectiveness has been improved by leaps and bounds. Quick, tell me what kind of results this Wang Qiang has achieved with the help of a recruit division. ”
"Yes, Commander...", Zhou Baozhong replied with a cheerful face.
"After a night of fighting, the 1st Division of the Recruit Column gathered a total of three infantry regiments and an artillery battalion. Taking advantage of the cover of night, he suddenly attacked an infantry wing that stood out from the Japanese army. ”
"Because of the Japanese army, this wing, after daytime fighting. It was already very tired, and there were only more than 2,500 people left. Therefore, after three hours of bloody battles, the 1st Division of the recruits successfully annihilated this infantry wing. Of course, the 1st Division also paid the price of more than 1,500 casualties. However, after the replenishment of some of the recruits, together with the large number of light and heavy weapons captured. The combat effectiveness of the troops, because of the re-strengthening of firepower, not only did not decrease at all, but on the contrary, there was a certain increase. At present, the combat strength of the Japanese army opposite the 1st Division has only 10,000 combat strength left in three infantry wings. ”
"If you played well, call back to Master Wang Qiang immediately and ask him to make persistent efforts. Fight this battle well, and when the battle is over, I will give him the number of a main force. Liu Hua nodded and ordered to the communications staff officer in front of him.
"Yes, long..."
With the departure of the communications staff officer, Zhou Baozhong looked at Liu Hua in front of him and admired it even more. With a smile on his face, he said, "Commander, I have convinced you." In such a dangerous moment, it can be as stable as Mount Tai. This made me unable to calm down at all. ”
For Zhou Baozhong's reverent eyes, Liu Hua nodded and replied with a smile.
"Lao Zhou, as a senior commander, holds the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers in his hands. At all times, we must have a full understanding of our own troops as well as our own enemies. This so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can not be defeated in a hundred battles. You wait, this morning, it must be a very lively morning. The battle reports from several other divisions will be waiting for you. ”
The facts are just as Liu Hua said. It was less than a few minutes since the communications staff officer left. The remaining divisions, as if they had been discussed, received a telegram at the same time. For a time, the telegrams of the divisions fell on the headquarters like snow.
The results of the remaining two divisions of the recruit column were very different from Liu Hua's callbacks, all of which were 'make persistent efforts, fight this battle well, and upgrade the troops to the main force'.
However, just when Zhou Baozhong read the results of Li Yuanqing's 13th Division. Liu Hua, who was still calm just now, immediately interrupted Zhou Baozhong's words in front of him, and asked with a surprised face.
"Old Zhou, what did you just say. Li Yuanqing's 13th Division only used the strength of an infantry regiment and an artillery battalion. Achieved the result of completely annihilating at least one infantry wing of the Japanese army and destroying all the ammunition and baggage of the Japanese baggage wing? ”
"Yes, Commander, that's what the telegram says. With my understanding of Li Yuanqing, Li Yuanqing will not falsely report the results of the battle..."Zhou Baozhong replied affirmatively.
"Lao Zhou, I don't doubt that 13 is the result of the battle, I want to ask the 13th Division, how it relied on the strength of a regiment to completely annihilate a wing of the Japanese army, and also destroyed all the Japanese army's baggage bombs. By the way, did Li Yuanqing report the specific losses of the troops? Liu Hua asked with a pensive face. "There are reports that in the battle of yesterday day, plus the night attack last night, a total of 486 fighters of the 37th regiment were killed, and 118 fighters were seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness. In addition, 185 people were killed in the artillery battalion, the divisional reconnaissance company, and the engineer company, and 28 were seriously wounded and lost their combat effectiveness. Zhou Baozhong looked at Liu Hua in front of him suspiciously and replied.
After a short period of contemplation, Liu Hua muttered to himself.
"Old Zhou, it seems that our 13th Division Commander Li Yuanqing is not simple..."
"Commander, do you have any ideas..."Zhou Baozhong asked with a puzzled look at Commander Liu Hua's sudden rhetorical question.
"Well..."
Liu Hua pondered: "You see, this Li Yuanqing, so far, has only used the strength of an infantry regiment, and he has achieved such huge results. This can only show one problem, that is, this Li Yuanqing already has a huge idea and battle plan in mind. I think that if nothing else, the time we are waiting here will come. ”
Seeing that Zhou Baozhong in front of him was still frowning, Liu Hua continued.
"At present, the Japanese army directly opposite the 13th Division has only 10,000 combat strength left. What's more, Li Yuanqing successfully destroyed his baggage bombs, coupled with our special operations division, which was engaged in a large number of activities on the Xiao devil transportation line. These 10,000 Xiao devils, in the next battle, the bullet yao will only fight less and less. At the same time, their artillery fire, after the consumption of the remaining ammunition, will also become an ornament. ”
"The strength of the 13th Division is 6,000 people, plus 10,000 in our hands. In addition, in addition to the superiority of the air force, in any aspect, we have an absolute advantage over the 124th Division. You say, isn't this 124th Division of the Japanese Army a piece of féiru in front of us? ”
Hearing this, Zhou Baozhong's face immediately showed a look of sudden realization. He said with a moving face: "Commander, I understand, you mean that our goal in this operation is to completely annihilate the 124th Division of the Japanese Army..."
"Well..."
Liu Hua nodded affirmatively and said. Immediately, he ordered to the communications staff officer in front of him.
"Immediately call back to Division Commander Li Yuanqing of the 13th Division, and ask Division Commander Li Yuanqing to immediately report his specific battle plan to the headquarters."
