Chapter 1094: Retaliation Counterattack

"Humph! If it weren't for the fact that you had made some military exploits in the past, I would not have spared you. Seeing that Scar's face was soft, Jiang Haidong snorted coldly and said: "I now announce a new appointment, the deputy commander of the first division will be replaced by Li Mingshan, the commander of the third regiment, and at the same time, he will still serve as the commander of the third regiment. ”

After speaking, he asked Scarface: "Liu Yishou, do you have any opinions?" ”

Scarface hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, the lowly position completely obeys and supports the arrangement of the superiors." ”

"No, you'll get me out of the way to a regiment to be your private." Jiang Haidong pretended to be serious.

"Yes!" Scarface just wanted to leave, Jiang Haidong's voice sounded behind him again: "A group has suffered a defeat, if the morale can't be boosted, you kid will take off this military uniform and jump into the Yalu River by yourself, Lao Tzu's troops never raise waste!" ”

Scarface smiled happily when he heard it, but he didn't dare to turn around and let Jiang Haidong see it, he just turned his back to him, Liu Yidao and the others, and stepped forward and said loudly: "Yes, please rest assured, Commander, I guarantee that the first regiment will recover its morale and combat effectiveness in the fastest time!" ”

After saying that, he ran and left the headquarters.

After seeing Scarface leave, Liu Yidao said to Jiang Haidong: "Commander, Scarface has made a big disaster this time, and I, the eldest brother and deputy commander, cannot escape the blame, please punish you!" ”

Jiang Haidong glanced at him and said angrily: "I've been tired all the way, I'm hungry and thirsty, and I haven't even drunk saliva, this deputy commander is too incompetent, right?" Why not be a service soldier? ”

Liu Yidao was stunned, and then quickly turned around and poured Jiang Haidong a cup of tea.

Jiang Haidong took it and drank it all, quenched his thirst, lit a cigarette and said while smoking: "This time, the Japanese soldiers are not under us, and even the number of dead is more than ours. Therefore, I have consulted with the Commander-in-Chief and decided to exempt you from punishment. ”

"But this is the only time, and there is no other time!" Jiang Haidong said with a serious face.

"Yes! Thank you to the Commander-in-Chief and the Commander for their forgiveness, and I will remember this lesson in the future, and I will not let it happen a second time. When Liu Yidao heard this, he was also relieved and in a good mood.

Immediately asked: "Commander, the little devil sneak attacked us, causing us a lot of losses, especially in terms of morale, all units of the column have been greatly affected, do we have to use color to boost the morale of the troops?" ”

Jiang Haidong muttered: "I asked the commander-in-chief about this matter before I came, and the commander-in-chief's intention is still for the time being, waiting for the headquarters to decide, if we want to go south to participate in the battle to recover the Central Plains and Jiangnan." It is better to postpone the plan to advance northward, after all, we have just recovered the northeast not long ago, and the results of the battle have not yet been solidified.

Once the battle line is advanced to the Goryeo Peninsula, as the supply line continues to lengthen, there will be many unforeseen changes and dangers, and the commander-in-chief is far-sighted, still hoping to avoid such a large distance of two-front battles as much as possible, after all, it is too threatening for us.

Once the little devils are forced into a hurry, they will make a desperate bet and counterattack our rear from any point of the coastline, and the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

When Liu Yidao heard Jiang Haidong say this, he was a little disappointed.

But Jiang Haidong suddenly continued: "However, it is not possible to conduct a large-scale attack, it is still possible to engage in some small local battles and punish the little devils in order to boost the morale and morale of the officers and men of our first column!" ”

When Liu Yidao heard this, his eyes lit up and said, "Then the humble post will summon the operational staff to draw up a battle plan?" ”

"Well, but you have to remember one thing, in this battle, we are adhering to the point of quick victory and retreat after the battle, not to fall in love with the battle, let alone go deep alone!" Jiang Haidong nodded in agreement, and did not forget to instruct.

"Yes, I understand." Liu Yidao gladly accepted the order, and then began to plan a retaliatory battle plan against the Japanese army with Cheng Cai, chief of staff, and a kind of senior operational staff officer of the column headquarters.

Three days later, the three main infantry divisions of the first column, plus several brigade-level combat units directly under it, secretly gathered at the riverside positions on the front line before 12 o'clock in the evening.

In the past three days, the baggage troops have collected enough boats to help the combat troops transport a main regiment across the river at one time.

The divisional baggage regiments and the baggage brigades directly under the columns were also well prepared, and once the battle began, they would build pontoon bridges as quickly as possible, planning to successfully build a pontoon bridge within an hour that could be used to cross the river with tanks and armored troops.

Of course, all this will require the strong coordination of infantry and artillery, first the artillery will suddenly carry out large-scale artillery coverage of the Japanese positions on the opposite bank, and then a main attacking infantry regiment will take the opportunity to cross the river by boat and seize the beachhead and the Japanese positions along the river. In addition to the frontal attack, there was also a regiment of troops that would flank the Japanese frontal positions from the upper and lower reaches of the standoff.

At this time, the other infantry regiments continued to cross the river by boat, and the baggage troops had to immediately go out to build pontoon bridges.

The battle plan was approved by Jiang Haidong, and at 12:15 p.m. that night, Jiang Haidong sat in the column headquarters and gave the order to launch an attack on time.

The first column has more than 100,000 elites, and in addition to the three main divisions, which have an artillery regiment and a tank regiment directly under them, the other main regiments are also equipped with artillery battalions, plus a heavy artillery brigade and a tank division directly under the column, with a total of thousands of artillery pieces.

As Jiang Haidong gave the order, the artillery units and tank units of various units, which had been preparing for a long time, opened fire one after another.

In an instant, thousands of shells came out at the same time, dragging dazzling flames in the deafening roar, piercing the vast night sky, flying over the Yalu River, hundreds of meters wide, and viciously smashing towards the Japanese positions on the opposite bank.

In the next moment, thousands of large and small groups of dazzling red light rose from the positions of the Japanese troops along the river on the opposite bank, and then a great explosion that shook the earth resounded and spread in all directions.

It was as if the earth was shaking.

Boom Boom! Not long after the first wave of shells was fired, the second wave of shells rained down and exploded.

The scorching and dazzling red light illuminated the night as if it were day, and under the light of the fire, all kinds of fortifications and bunkers carefully built by the Japanese army were blown into ruins, and the light and heavy machine gun fire points were also overturned.

As soon as the shelling began, Li Mingshan, deputy commander of the First Division and commander of the Third Infantry Regiment, was ordered to personally lead the officers and men of the Third Regiment to take hundreds of large and small wooden boats and start to rush to the crossing. At this time, our artillery group had already fired three waves of artillery with a total of nearly 10,000 rounds of artillery and ejected them, and the Japanese positions on the opposite bank were already in flames.
