Chapter 132: Heavy Siege
After annoying the Soviet Red Army, the Soviet side almost directly deployed troops to the border, but the Kwantung Army did not mobilize troops to the border to confront the Soviet Red Army because of this. At least around the 99th Army, there were at least six Kwantung Army divisions and regiments staring at the 99th Army.
Six divisions and more than 100,000 troops, even Su Dao didn't dare to be careless at this time, so he had to rack his brains to think of a perfect solution.
He expected that when the Kwantung Army would leave the 99th Army, the Kwantung Army would definitely organize a decisive battle in a vain attempt to destroy the 99th Army in one fell swoop, but what he didn't expect was that the Kwantung Army would dispatch six divisions at once. The 99th Army had the ability to annihilate a division of the Yue Army within six hours, but after all, it was engaged in a sneak attack, when the Yue Army had just won a victory and was unprepared.
Now that the 99th Army is facing an attack from more than 100,000 Kwantung Army in three directions at the same time, Su Dao is also a little drumming in his heart. Six divisions are no better than one division, plus the Kwantung Army has the help of naval ships and a large number of aviation, these two things alone can make the artillery of the 99th Army lose a lot of power.
The confrontation of the Soviet Red Army did not attract enough attention to the Kwantung Army as expected, in short, it was a wrong decision to go deep into Jinxi alone, and I have to say that Su Dao's previous ideas were a little too taken for granted. He didn't take into account what they would do if the Kwantung Army was pressed by the whole army and the 99th Army was disabled at one time? He also didn't think that what would he do if the 99th Army and the Kwantung Army were on a par and both lost troops, and the Kwantung Army suddenly increased its troops?
These may seem like small problems, but each of them is so serious that the 99th Army will fall into a quagmire if it is not careful, and even a catastrophe will never be recovered. It was only at this time that Su Dao understood something, all of this was caused by his own assumptions, and when he was in Guannai before, he would win every battle, and he was a big victory.
The victories accumulated over a long period of time made Su Dao forget his caution and forget his defeat, so he has today's rampant and empty eyes. Although he had already adopted part of Wu Zhongguo's plan in the battle plan, he still changed the main content of this plan, and the mistake was that the current 99th Army was located in Jinxi, not Suizhong.
If you can't fight in Suizhong, you can retreat, but it's a big deal to withdraw to Guannei, where there are quite a lot of Chinese troops, and it is impossible for the army to gather a few more divisions to encircle and suppress the 99th Army, because they don't have so many troops. At that time, Su Dao will also have a lot of time to recruit troops and restore the strength of the troops. But now all this will no longer exist, and the 99th Army can only be nailed to Jinxi, and can only fight the Kwantung Army here, and it is still the kind of battle that can only be won and not lost.
This is the result, and what Su Dao has to face now is how to resolve this crisis, instead of staying here crying and waiting for the army to attack. Soon, Su Dao waved his hand and asked the herald to call over the capable generals under him, in fact, there were not many people, at best, they were the chief and deputy commanders of the three divisions, plus Wu Zhongguo and several staff officers under him, as well as Liu Guodong of the armored brigade, and the commander of the artillery brigade, these people are not only the people of the 99th Army, but also the foundation of the Sixth Theater Command.
"Everyone knows the situation, I won't go into details, there is only one purpose for calling everyone here today, to discuss how we should deal with this vicious battle next." Seeing that everyone was here, Su Dao stopped talking nonsense, now that the time is so tight, a minute late may be another ending, and Su Dao does not plan to wait for the army to rest to fight them, but decides to strike first.
Taking advantage of the fact that the army has not yet finished adjusting, it quickly tore a crack in one of the directions, either to let the troops break through, or through this gap, to attack the army from all directions. Now there are armored units, there are artillery units, and although the air force only has 30 aircraft, it can be regarded as having air support, right?
After listening to Su Dao's words, everyone did not have the arrogance they used to have, but showed a trace of worry and caution on their faces one by one. This time, the six divisions of the Kwantung Army had more than 100,000 people, and this was not a joke, because the Battle of Xuzhou lasted for several months, and the army only invested a total of more than 200,000 troops, and in the end it still defeated and retreated more than 600,000 Chinese troops.
Although they were not afraid of the same number of Kwantung Army, if they continued to fight like this, it would be a matter of time before the 99th Army would be crippled or even annihilated. Even if the army comes to exchange with you one to one, even if it is three to one, in the end, it is the 99th Army that will lose first. There is no air superiority, there is no sea superiority, and the only artillery superiority that can be taken is also somewhat weak in front of the artillery of the Kwantung Army, and with the air strikes of the Kwantung Army, it is simply impossible for the artillery to provide much fire support.
Now the only thing they can rely on is the armored brigade and the infantry in their hands, and the 300 tanks of the armored brigade, although they are very numerous, are still so small in this war of hundreds of thousands of people, and the impact they play on the overall situation is also limited.
"I'm afraid of a bird, I will kill as many little devils as I come, Junzuo, you can give the order, Lao Tzu is the first to lead his brothers to clean up the little devils, maybe we can still fight in Xinjing." After Liu Sanpao scolded secretly, he stood up and spoke. Xinjing is the location of the headquarters of the Kwantung Army, and if it can really hit Xinjing directly, it is estimated that the Kwantung Army will disappear from the territory of China.
"Master Liu, as a dignified first division leader, can you be more steady? Don't think of those reckless people. Chief of Staff Wu Zhongguo frowned, Liu Sanpao's posture can indeed play an inspiring role in front of the soldiers below, but it is a little unsafe to show it at this military-level meeting, and he hurriedly reminded at the moment.
After being reminded by Wu Zhongguo, Liu Sanpao just scratched his head and smiled, knowing that he had almost made a mistake just now, so he didn't say anything more, anyway, his meaning was already very clear, as long as Su Dao gave an order, he Liu Sanpao would point where to fight, and absolutely obey Su Dao's orders.
"Ueda Kenkichi, this old guy should retire soon, and his energy is not as strong as before, for the battle, it is estimated that he will play the role of a co-ordinator at most, and the one who really commands the battle behind it is estimated that it is likely to be the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, Ryosuke Isoya." Su Dao said to himself that according to the information he had these days, it was very likely that the command of the siege of the 99th Army would fall into the hands of Ryosuke Isoya.
"This Ryosuke Isoya is not the same as the others, we have severely damaged his 10th Division in Zaozhuang before, but I didn't expect this old devil to be possessed by a ghost, and he will be against us wherever he goes. But this time is different from the past, put away your contempt, Isoya Ryosuke is a person who does not advocate waging a war of aggression against China, but at the same time, he is also a guy who pursues a quick victory and quickly quells the war, so this time the battle will definitely be fought very badly, you must be prepared in your hearts. Immediately, Su Dao briefly introduced Isoya Ryosuke, if he hadn't sent someone to check Isoya Ryosuke, it is estimated that this time he would really be able to deceive his two-faced surname.
ps: Ask for recommendation, ask for collection, the results in recent days are not very good, the growth of recommendations is not as good as before, and the collection is also, everyone, you have to work harder, otherwise we will be a tragedy.
