Chapter 692: Total Attack Time
Leng Feng feels that he is now doing the work of the division commander and the heart of the "chairman", is this chairman happy? If this continues, something will happen sooner or later. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Leng Feng himself felt that with the chairman's mind, he would not be very happy, but he would still pretend to be very happy, at least he could not give people the impression that he was narrow-minded and could not tolerate his subordinates being too good.
Therefore, although Leng Feng always put forward some suggestions that did not fit his personal position, Lao Jiang could still listen to them, and if he was right, he could also listen to them.
Of course, whether there will be some discomfort in his heart, only he knows.
"Master, the chairman of the committee sent us a telegram of commendation from Zhengzhou."
"This is of no practical significance, if he gives him a little bonus, I can also improve the food for all the officers and soldiers." Leng Feng smiled abruptly.
At most, this kind of commendation will be of little help to officers and men when they are promoted to military ranks, but in fact, if they are promoted to military ranks, a small commendation will not play much role.
Although Leng Feng's side had a small victory over the Japanese, the fifth theater side could not dispel everyone's doubts.
As to whether Leng Feng could hold out in Juancheng for three days, many generals in the Fifth Theater held different opinions, among which Deputy Commander Li Heling had the most fierce opinion.
He believed that in the absence of heavy weapons, a brigade alone would not be able to fight against an elite division of the Japanese army, not to mention that this was still a mechanized division and was equipped with a large number of heavy weapons.
Compared to the Isoya Division before the war, it was not bad at all, and even far exceeded its firepower configuration.
If the first division of honor is pulled up, it is estimated that it will be possible, but now only one-third, there is no type of equipment, on the plain of that flat river, what can resist other people's tanks and artillery.
Not to mention that there are planes in the sky to help!
"I think that judging from the current situation, Juancheng will not hold out until dark, and at noon today, the Japanese army's heavy equipment has begun to cross the river, what will Leng Guoguang do to resist the Japanese army's tanks and heavy artillery?"
"Brother Heling, you are too pessimistic, although the territory of Juancheng is a plain, but for many years, the implementation of Yellow River irrigation, there are many rivers in the territory, which can be comparable to the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Japanese army wants to go south easily, I am afraid it is not an easy thing."
"If Leng Guoguang can't stop the Japanese army, then my Longhai line is in danger, and then my hundreds of thousands of GJ soldiers will be in danger of being surrounded and annihilated, who will bear this responsibility?" Li Heling asked.
"Brother Heling, Leng Guoguang's ability and record can still be trusted, he said that if he can hold for three days, he should be able to hold for three days, isn't it?" Chief of Staff Xu Yanmou stood up to play a round.
"He said that if he guards for three days, he can guard for three days, everyone present is an old Jiang on the battlefield, the enemy is strong and I am weak, how big the gap between each other is, isn't it clear?"
"Juancheng is an important town in Luxi, and the fortifications are complete, if you hold on, it will not be a problem for three days!"
"But didn't Leng Guoguang's telegram say that Juancheng has been razed to the ground by the heavy artillery of the Japanese, now is not the era of cold weapons in the past, the enemy is far more powerful than we imagined!"
"Li Heling, you are disturbing the morale of the army!" Sun Zhen slapped the table and pointed at Li Heling and roared.
"Sun Decao, what I'm saying is the truth, is it possible that telling the truth has become disturbing the morale of the army!"
"Ladies and gentlemen, let's not talk about Leng Guoguang's previous achievements, let's just say that this time he predicted the Japanese army, he has obviously reminded us, but why are some people still unwilling to believe who caused this situation?" Sun Zhen originally supported Leng Feng and resolutely opposed the inclusion of the Sakamoto detachment and solved it together.
But at that time, many people were carried away by the optimistic situation in front of them, and ignored Leng Feng's reminders and even warnings.
Under Tang Keqin's instigation, the original encirclement and annihilation plan was changed, and it was easy to wipe out the Seya detachment with a strong crossbow now, but now?
The Senya detachment joined up with the Sakamoto detachment, and the resistance increased greatly, and it was necessary to spend more time to achieve the originally expected results.
However, what the Fifth Theater lacks most now is time, and although the Japanese army has not yet cut off the Longhai Road, their premeditated plan to encircle them has been clearly revealed.
Once the hundreds of thousands of elite GJs in the Xuzhou area are dragged back, if it is too late to withdraw, the consequences will be unimaginable.
And to evacuate these hundreds of thousands of people, it is not a matter of an order, people can be evacuated, this also takes time, no matter what, it will take a week.
Bai Jiansheng's face was red for a while, white for a while, in addition to Lao Jiang's will, he also played a role in fueling the troubles, forcing Li Delin to make a decision that was inclined to Tang Keqin.
This decision made Li Delin regret in his heart, if he hardened up, talked to Lao Jiang, ignored the opinions of his old partner, and acted arbitrarily, it would not be the current situation.
Now you can't go up, you can't go down, this is the most difficult to decide, one wrong step, that's a whole loss, Li Delin felt the old wound on his right cheek stinging for a while, as if a sharp military thorn pierced into his brain.
"Chief Li, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Li Delin's face was different, Huang Xuecun hurried over and asked in a low voice.
"It's okay, pour me a glass of water, I have medicine in my pocket!"
"Chief Li, you can't take too much of this painkiller, there will be side effects." Huang Xuecun said distressedly.
"It's okay, when this battle is over, the pressure is not so great, and it'll be fine." Li Delin shook his head, today's military meeting, there is a lot of controversy, as always.
"Wait a minute."
"Brother Delin, you are our leader, you can get an idea." Bai Jiansheng asked.
"We didn't believe Leng Guoguang last time, everyone has seen the consequences, this time, if we don't believe him again, what evil consequences will it lead to, the battle has come to this part, give up halfway, are you willing?" Li Delin swept his eyes and asked with a hint of anger.
"I'm not reconciled, no matter what the battle is, I must fight this battle." Sun Fanglu stood up and said loudly.
"Our Dian army obeys the command of Chief Li."
"Captain Tang, what is your opinion?" Li Delin glanced at Tang Keqin and asked.
Tang Keqin was the most embarrassing one of the generals who participated in the meeting, and the current situation can be said to have been promoted by him single-handedly, and he has no idea whether he can encircle and annihilate the Seya detachment and the Sakamoto detachment, at least, it seems that the Japanese army still has the ability to resist.
"Chief Li, sir, my judgment, if we fight for three more days, the last strength of the Seya detachment and the Sakamoto detachment will consume us, this is a rare opportunity, if we don't fight, I will not be reconciled." Tang Keqin thought about it carefully and said.
Tang Keqin just wants to turn back now, it's too late, if he takes the lead in picking a son, what will Lao Jiang think of him? At this time, I can only fight.
If you win, not only can you not be held accountable for your previous mistakes, but you can also get a big credit.
Tang Keqin was one of the main forces to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army, and the previous Sun Fanglu and Lu Xiong also expressed their stance that they did not intend to give up easily and wanted to fight.
Who is willing to slip through the cracks between their fingers, who is willing to get to that step, who is willing, besides, these battle-hardened old men don't know that fighting is not child's play, and once they quit halfway, the consequences are unpredictable.
Especially when the battle comes to this, they don't want to fight, what will the officers and soldiers below think?
Li Heling and their opposition to continuing to fight also have their own reasons, the pressure on the southern line of the Jinpu Road is too great, the Central China Front is offensive, the hundreds of thousands of GJ on the southern front cannot be stopped at all, Li Heling's 31st Army is among them, from the beginning of the year to the present, the losses are very large, almost half of the army has been disabled.
This is the child soldier of the Gui Department, he is distressed, if this is all over, Lao Jiang will not trample the Gui Department to death with one kick?
Therefore, Li Heling's opposition is very tough, and the reasons sound very sufficient, and there is also a mind for the Gui family, which Lao Li and Lao Bai are aware of.
However, if we look at the overall situation at the level of the country and the nation, if we lightly give up or retreat at this time, it is inappropriate and wrong.
The country, the country is in front of the home, how can there be a home without the country?
Li Delin knew very well that if he wanted to smash the conspiracy of the Japanese army, it was far from enough to evacuate hundreds of thousands of GJ from the Xuzhou area, and he would have to deal a heavy blow to the Japanese army.
In this way, it can boost the belief of the Chinese people that the war of resistance will be won, and secondly, it will also delay the time for the Japanese army to attack Wuhan in the next step.
As for how to evacuate, this Lao Li knows in his heart, Leng Feng controls Weishan Lake, and there is a huge fleet, even if Longhai Road can't go, it can be crossed from Weishan Lake, just with a division of the Japanese army, it's like blockading the entire eastern Henan region, they can't do it.
What's more, this is just the last resort, and it hasn't reached that point yet, and the Longhai railway line is still under the control of GJ.
"No matter what Leng Guoguang looks like there, our plan for the encirclement and annihilation of the Japanese Seya detachment and Sakamoto detachment here remains unchanged, but we can advance the time of the final general attack." Li Delin quietly took a pill and put it in his mouth, then took the water cup in Huang Xuecun's hand and took a sip.
"It's a good choice to launch a general attack in advance."
"If we can crush the Japanese army in advance, then we won't be short on time."
"Degong ......"
"Got it, you go down first." Li Delin's face changed slightly, and he waved his hand to signal Wei Zhiming, the staff officer of the attendant room, to go out first.
"Okay, let's go here first, keep the original plan unchanged, and the total attack will be advanced to half past six in the morning of the 14th, do you have any objections?"
No one spoke again.
"Okay, that's it, let's go back and prepare!" Li Delin announced.
"Brother Delin, just now Staff Officer Wei came in, I see that your face is wrong, is something wrong?" Bai Jiansheng walked at the end and stayed behind to ask.
"Mr. Jiang is coming, just this afternoon, fly directly to Germany, and then take a train to Xuzhou."
"Why don't you fly directly to Xuzhou?"
"The sky over Xuzhou is not safe, and Japanese planes are bombing at any time, so Mr. Jiang probably wants to inspect Guide and then come to Xuzhou." Li Delin analyzed.
"Well, that makes sense, do you want to set up a welcome job?"
"Don't make a big fuss, it will cause unnecessary trouble." Li Delin shook his hand, "Determine the departure and arrival times, and let the special service group send people to the train to guard it." ”
"Hmm."
