Chapter 898: The new 38th Division, it's time to get to work
At this moment, the commander-in-chief of the First Corps in eastern Henan and the staff officers of the Operations Department of the New First Army were busy with one thing, analyzing which route the remnants of the Japanese army who were bandits from the front of the 8th Army's position would take. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In the vast darkness of the night, although the Japanese army was a remnant of the defeated army, they had mechanized marching tools, which were much faster than two legs, and as long as there was enough fuel, they could run forward without stopping.
This night's run can be at least one or two hundred kilometers.
The national army marched about 80 miles on foot and 120 miles in a day, and even if it was a rapid march, they would run out of two days.
There is no way to chase this at all, so I can only hope that the Japanese army will get lost, and maybe there will be a chance.
The frontal breakthrough must have been the most elite unit of the Japanese army in the besieged city of Guide, according to the visual inspection of the 40th Division on the position, the number of thousands of people.
Although most of the Japanese army was annihilated, these 1,000 men were the most important part, and they should be some officers and the most elite veterans.
If these people go back, it won't be long before they can pull out another unit, and if this force is completely suppressed, it will not be so easy for the Japanese army to replenish hundreds of middle- and low-level officers commanded by experience.
This will invisibly weaken the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army.
Xue Boling was unwilling, and one night, he kept scolding Huang Jie, a bastard bastard, didn't he remind him to be vigilant? Why didn't he listen?
He also took the reserve team to intercept the Japanese army that broke through the encirclement, and he also wanted to capture "Kenji Dohihara" alive, if Kenji Dohihara was so easy to catch, could it be your turn?
It's really not enough to succeed, more than enough to lose!
Xue Boling was about to remove Huang Jie's army commander on the spot, but although Huang Jie was under his control, he had not removed him from his position, and he had to nod from Lao Jiang.
Besides, he had already sued Huang Jie in front of Lao Jiang before, and even seriously said that he was going to cut off Huang Jie's head, although he was angry at the time and didn't figure out the situation, but Guide was lost, which definitely affected the battle situation, and almost made the situation out of control, and Lao Jiang didn't dare to forcibly protect it.
Only when the situation of that night surfaced little by little, did Lao Jiang speak, asking Huang Jie to make meritorious contributions, after all, the order to retreat was not given from his mouth.
This is also undeniable.
Xue Boling did not relent, he also hoped that Huang Jie would be ashamed and brave, in the next few days, Huang Jie commanded the 8th Army and indeed fought very bravely, taking the lead and sacrificing a lot.
But now there is such a big loophole, he does not obey military orders, acts without authorization, conceals and does not report, and lets the enemy go, this mistake is a big mistake.
This mistake is wrong, Xue Boling didn't say anything, and reported the truth directly to Chairman Jiang's chamber of staff in Luojia Mountain, I won't sue anymore, how you old man should be broken, just how to break it.
In the middle of the night, Lao Jiang received such a telegram from Xue Boling, sat on the bed, and suddenly became worried, how to deal with this matter?
It's very troublesome, according to military law, this is to be punished for two crimes, if it is really a serious sentence, it is not too much to kill the head, but Lao Jiang didn't want to kill Huang Jie, at least Huang Jie was not afraid of war, he just made a big mistake by making meritorious contributions.
But such a thing can't be repeated again and again, if such a general is not punished, then anyone can act at will without respecting the orders of the peak in the future, so what military discipline is there?
Lao Jiang really couldn't make a decision about this matter all of a sudden, sat on the bed and was stunned for a long time, and returned to Decheng to recover, which is a good thing, at least the Longhai line is temporarily safe, the internal hidden dangers have been cleared, the Japanese army's westward march into Yuzhong has been blocked, and the Pinghan railway line is safe.
This incident made Lao Jiang really relieved, and he could sleep peacefully, but in addition to such a thing, Lao Jiang also scolded his mother angrily.
Shouldn't we be cautious at this time?
Huang Jie, an uncompetitive student, is there anything that makes the principal feel uneasy?
However, it took half an hour to send out a telegram of commendation that "I am very relieved" for the commendation of the First Corps of Eastern Henan.
Xue Boling received the telegram and smiled bitterly, Lao Jiang still wanted to protect the calf, this was too obvious.
Up to now, Xue Boling doesn't know what to say, the rewards and punishments are unknown, this is the biggest taboo as the commander of an army, of course, now Huang Jie is leading his troops to chase and kill the Japanese army, and the punishment is not appropriate at this time.
"Junza, according to our analysis, if Kenji Dohihara is in this breakthrough force, he may finally choose the three-day route, the first one, directly to the south, into the mountainous area of northern Anhui, where the jungle, mountainous, easy to hide the tracks, not easy to find, and now it is the rainy season, it is not easy to march, but the Japanese army carries mechanized equipment, if you take this road, if you want to get rid of the pursuers, you must abandon the equipment of the mechanized march, this road is the most difficult, enter Anhui, they want to go out safely, It is definitely no less than fighting another battle of Guide, the second road, to the southeast, passing through the middle of Bozhou and Xiayi, and going directly to Yongcheng, this is the nearest road, but this road must pass through our blockade line, and now that Bozhou is under my control, this road must be extremely dangerous, even if it can be crossed, I am afraid there is not much left, the third road, from Tuocheng and Bozhou, detour to Luyi, go to Wuyang, and meet the Japanese army there......"
Looking at Long Yingqin's red eyes, Leng Feng nodded, and it could be seen that in less than an hour, the operational staff officers of the staff office held back their strength one by one, analyzed, summarized, and thought of all the possible ideas, and summarized the direction and purpose of the Japanese army's march after breaking through.
Although Leng Feng affirmed their hard analysis, he did not agree with their judgment.
What a normal person can think of, then the opponent can naturally also think of it, if Kenji Dohihara thinks about problems with normal people's thinking, then he is also an ordinary general, and Kenji Dohihara is an intelligence-intellect, good at figuring out people's hearts, and his grasp of human nature and people's hearts is extremely clever.
Ordinary generals of the national army may not be able to calculate him.
"Kunimitsu, do you have any other opinions?" Xie Jiyuan could see that Leng Feng did not agree with Long Yingqin's analysis and judgment.
"Lao Xie, if you were Kenji Dohihara, would you choose one of these three paths?" Leng Feng stood in front of the sand table, slowly looked up at Xie Jiyuan and asked.
"I, I will choose the third road, this road is the safest, at least the fastest speed to rush out of the control area of our army, if the Voryang side sends Japanese troops to respond, this Japanese army will easily escape." Xie Jiyuan thought for a moment and said.
Leng Feng nodded, this choice is very human.
"On the Tuocheng side, there is only one local security regiment, and there is also the logistics baggage unit of the 8th Army, if you pass through the Tuocheng defense area, it is relatively easy." Long Yingqin also chimed in.
"Do you all think that the Japanese army will choose this path?"
"Junza, it's more likely that we're just leaning towards this route, but we can't be sure that this Japanese army will take that road, after all, we are not Japanese troops." Long Yingqin explained.
"Does anyone know how much gasoline and food bombs this breakout Japanese army carried?" Leng Feng suddenly asked.
"This ......"
"According to the custom of the Japanese army, they generally marched and fought, and they would bring a week's worth of rations and two hundred rounds of ammunition for each soldier......"
"Three days, no more than three days, no more than fifty bullets per soldier, even less than we predicted, I want the information that the Japanese army airdropped to Germany in the past two days!" Leng Feng commanded.
"Military seat, the materials and materials that the Japanese army airdropped to return to Germany!"
"In addition to carrying the necessary marching tools, all the heavy firepower equipment of the Japanese army that broke through the encirclement was abandoned, and the materials dropped in the sky in the past two days totaled about thirty tons, excluding the consumption, judging by the intensity of the battle, the Japanese army should not have much ammunition left, and some was consumed when breaking through, what would you do if you were Kenji Dohihara after breaking through?" After reading the information, Leng Feng calmly swept over everyone's faces and asked.
"Looking for supplements, at least food supplements!"
"But didn't they carry three days' worth of dry rations?"
"No, they don't have time to prepare, so I judge that they carry about a day's worth of dry food at most, and the weather is so hot, it is easy to spoil if they carry too much dry food, once the food is bad, people will have a bad stomach when they eat it, in that way, not only will it drag down the march, but it will not guarantee the combat effectiveness, so Kenji Dohihara will look for supplies at the first time." Leng Feng said.
"What does the military seat mean is that Kenji Tsuchihara is likely to loot along the way?"
"Robbing the people, how many supplies can be grabbed, Kenji Dohihara won't do this, if he wants to do it, he will definitely do a big vote, which is in line with his character." Leng Feng said, "Tuocheng, Kenji Tu Feiyuan has to do it with Huang Jie." ”
After speaking, Leng Feng picked up a small sun flag on the table and planted it in the position of Tuocheng.
"Where is the new 38th Division?"
"The Duji area of Yucheng is hidden and rested." Intelligence staff officer Hu Yanan immediately replied.
"Order Luo Yufeng to set off immediately, and lead his troops to go straight to Tuocheng, whether he can catch Kenji Tohihara depends on this time." Leng Feng waved his hand and ordered.
"Do you want to inform Chief Xue?"
"Well, it should be." Leng Feng thought for a moment and nodded, he couldn't learn from Huang Jie, although the new 38th Division had the right to act alone, no matter how it acted, it should also inform Xue Boling, the master, before acting, which is a kind of respect.
It was almost close to midnight, and the headquarters of the commander of the First Corps in eastern Henan was still brightly lit, crowded, and a tense and busy atmosphere.
Although it is said that the Japanese army finally broke through and ran away, it still recovered the Guide and eliminated the vast majority of the Japanese army, and successfully stopped the cruel conspiracy of the Japanese army to burn the German.
This was a rare victory, and this is undeniable, so the Corps Commander's Department was jubilant, happy or more frustrated.
"Chief Xue, based on the information we have before, we have analyzed the whereabouts of the Japanese troops who broke through from the front of the 8th Army's position, as well as war games and judgments, and the General Staff believes that ......"
"Chief of Staff, urgent telegram."
"What's the matter?" Wu Xiqi was very displeased, and the last thing he liked was that his subordinates interrupted him, especially when he was reporting to Xue Boling.
"It was sent by Commander Leng of the New First Army." The confidential staff officer hurriedly added.
Wu Xiqi's anger immediately dissipated most of it, Leng Feng's telegram, that must be reported as soon as possible, no matter what the situation, the big thing can also be interrupted.
"What did Leng Guoguang say?" Xue Boling turned his head and asked, he obviously heard the conversation between the confidential staff officer and Wu Xiqi.
Wu Xiqi took the telegram, glanced at it, and suddenly had a spirit: "Chief Xue, Leng Guo said in the photoelectric newspaper that Kenji Dohihara knows the truth that the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, he must be among the Japanese troops who broke through head-on, and according to his analysis, Kenji Dohihara's breakthrough army did not carry much food supplies, and he is very likely to attack Tuocheng!" ”
"Do you have our supply warehouse in Tuocheng?"
"This is not true, but the 8th Army has retreated to Tuocheng before, and now there is only one local security regiment defending Tuocheng, and a small number of baggage troops of the 8th Army!" Wu Xiqi said.
"Contact Huang Jie immediately and call Tuocheng!"
"Chief Xue, the phone doesn't work!"
"Commander Huang Jie's radio can't be reached ......"
"Damn it!" Xue Boling slammed his fist on the sand table, and a wave of anger surged up in his heart, he should have thought of it a long time ago, how could Kenji Dohihara break through, how could he not make all preparations.
"Chief Xue, Leng Guoguang's judgment may not be correct......"
"My Chief of Staff, didn't you notice that the information sent to us by the Yaksha didn't mention the Japanese army making dry food?" Xue Boling scolded angrily.
"This ......"
"They didn't carry enough dry food, and in order to break through, they must be lightly armed, so they must get food supplies, otherwise they will starve to death before they get out of our encirclement."
Wu Xiqi suddenly slapped his head and suddenly realized.
