Chapter 376: Battle Plan for the Southern Front of Jinpu Road

"This is a battle plan for the southern front of Jinpu Road, codename: Capture the wolf, Jiansheng, or you should talk to everyone carefully."

"Yes, Chairman!" Bai Jiansheng stood up and nodded at Lao Jiang.

Receiving a telegram from Leng Feng from the second Yuxikou victory, Lao Chiang made the decision to annihilate the Japanese 13th Division on the southern line of Jinpu Road.

Previously, although he also wanted to do this, he was limited by his strength and adopted conservative attack and blocking tactics against the Japanese troops on the southern line of Jinpu Road.

It was only to prevent the Japanese army on the southern front on the south bank of the Huai River and achieve a balanced state so that it could not go north to join the Japanese army in North China, so as to ensure a battle with the Japanese army in the Xuzhou area and prevent the Japanese army from opening up the Jinpu Road and advancing westward along the Longhai Road.

This is also a helpless move based on the taboo that soldiers are not suitable for fighting on two fronts.

Now the situation on the battlefield has changed, and the new force of the Honor 1st Division has risen horizontally, containing more than half of the Japanese troops in Jiangbei, and also severely inflicting heavy losses on the Central China Front, making its limited strength unable to effectively support the Japanese army in Jiangbei.

The 1st Honor Division was entrenched in Pukou, attracting and containing more than half of the Japanese troops in Jiangbei, not only strengthening the pressure on the southern front of the Fifth Theater, but also actually creating conditions for annihilating the 13th Division, the main force of the Japanese army on the northern front.

If the 1st Division of Honor could not withstand the powerful offensive of the Japanese army, the strategy of the original 5th Theater naturally did not need to be changed, but now it is different, the 1st Division of Honor went north to Pukou for more than a week, not only gaining a firm foothold, but also attacking everywhere, expanding the living space, and dealing a major blow to the Japanese army.

"Before talking about the wolf capture plan, I will give you a brief description of the current changes in the enemy situation on the southern front of Jinpu in my fifth theater." Bai Jiansheng walked to a huge military map, picked up the baton, and said lightly at the location of Yuxikou, "Everyone must be familiar with the victory at Yuxikou three days ago, right?" ”

Lao Jiang held a high-level military meeting, and there were at least two stars on his shoulders to sit here, including many old giants.

Of course, such a meeting cannot be as noisy as a vegetable market, and everyone will speak in a measured manner and will not say a word of superfluous nonsense.

"This is the report of the battle that just arrived today. Our new 38th Brigade adopted the tactic of luring the enemy deep into Yuxikou and successfully trapped the main force of the 45th Wing of the Japanese Niudao Brigade in the area of Huangshan Temple and Tongling Gate, totaling more than 2,000 people. After two days and one night of fierce fighting, all the invading enemies have been annihilated, and more than 400 people under Major General Mitsuru Ushijima, commander of the 36th Infantry Brigade of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, where the enemy landed, were trapped in a small village in Xiliang Mountain. I'm sure there will be good news soon! ”

"Smack. Syllable. Smack......"

Fierce applause rang out, this was a huge victory, and it can be said that it was exciting, especially for those pro-Japanese elements, and it was a huge touch.

The myth of the strength and invincibility of the Japanese army has long been shattered.

Lao Jiang's eyes swept everyone, at this time he was still very excited in his heart, against Japan, although he had wavered, but he never had the idea of surrendering, he would rather die than be a puppet of the Japanese.

"Alright. Jiansheng, you keep talking! ”

"Okay, Chairman." Although he has been against Lao Jiang for many years, Bai Jiansheng has to admit that in China now, only Lao Jiang really has the ability to unite the people's hearts and morale of the whole country.

"On the southern line of Jinpu Road, in addition to the 13th Division, there was also a wing of the 9th Division, as well as the Tiangu Detachment stationed in Yangzhou, with a total strength of about 35,000 people. After the previous month's combat attrition, it is estimated that the total strength is still about 25,000 men, but according to reliable information, the Japanese army has withdrawn a wing from the 101st Division in the Shanghai area as the main force. A detachment was formed and landed in Yangzhou five days ago, and in addition, the main force of the 9th Division also sailed from Nanjing to Zhenjiang, and will also land from Yangzhou and go to Jiangbei ......"

"Isn't the strength of the Japanese army in Jiangbei 50,000?"

"Actually, there are not so many, conservative estimates are between 40,000 and 45,000. No more than forty-five thousand! Bai Jiansheng continued, "After the Ninth Division suffered heavy losses in the street battle of the Honorable 1st Division in Nanjing, the total strength was less than 15,000 people, and as for the Iizuka Detachment, intelligence shows that this unit is composed of Japanese domestic reserves, and the combat force plus logistics support is about 4,000 people. ”

"Brother Jiansheng, where did this information come from?"

"Hehe, Brother Geng Guang, this information is not my nonsense, naturally there is an intelligence source." Bai Jiansheng said, "The information about the strength and equipment of the Japanese army is provided by the Intelligence Department of the Honorary 1st Division. ”

"Is the information they provide accurate?"

"I don't know if it's accurate, but we have no one else but the information they provide." Bai Jiansheng smiled, "At least I think it's still feasible, after all, the First Division of Honor is at war with the Japanese army, and it is impossible to be cautious in the reconnaissance of enemy intelligence." ”

"Makes sense, makes sense......"

"How can anyone pit themselves?"

"Brother Jiansheng, don't be embarrassed, please continue!" Yang Gengguang hurriedly said, everyone knows his temper, although he is questioning, it is also a serious attitude.

"Let me give you a brief description of the distribution of forces between the enemy and us."

A more detailed set of military land was unfolded and nailed to a blackboard, clearly marking the formation of the enemy and the enemy.

The blue represents the ****, and the red represents the Japanese army.

"Everyone, please see, with the Chihe River as the boundary, the Japanese army currently occupies Linhuai Pass, Fengyang, Bengbu, Dingyuan and other places north of the Chihe River, since the honor of the first division went north, the Japanese army felt the threat of the rear, the offensive slowed down or even abandoned part of the Huaibei part of the occupied area, retreated to the south of the Huai River, now basically to the Huai River as the line, the two sides are in the confrontation stage, north of the Huai River is Yu Xiaohou's 51st Army, the 31st Army in Dingyuan West, Feidong, Luqiao, Luohe line resistance, the current front is stable......"

"South of the Chi River, the Japanese army can be said to be defeated one after another, after the first division of honor crossed the river north, the camera occupied Quanjiao, **, and advanced north to Dongxige Town, if it was not for the Japanese army stationed in Chuxian County to go south, at this moment, my honorary first division is already under the city of Chuxian."

The red and blue markings on the map are clear at a glance, everyone has been in the army for many years, and you can see at a glance who has the advantage and who has the disadvantage on this map.

North of the Chi River, the Japanese army and **** half a catty and eight taels, and in some places the Japanese army still occupies a certain advantage, after all, before this. The Japanese army was on the offensive.

Although there were constraints from the 31st Army, if Yu Xiaohou's 51st Army could not get support, it would not be able to stop the Japanese army.

Therefore, at the beginning, Chief Li hurriedly looked for soldiers from the first war zone. The 59th Army, which was stationed in Shangqiu, moved south to aid the 51st Army of Xiaohou.

It's just that the 59th Army has not yet arrived, and the Honor 1st Division went north and copied the back road of the Japanese army, and the 51st Army stabilized the front at once, and it can be said that the Honor 1st Division saved the 51st Army.

"Didn't I have a wolf capture plan before this?" He Jingzhi asked rhetorically.

"That's to deceive the Japanese army. Now, although this is also called the wolf capture plan, the meaning and goal are completely different. ”

"Brother Jiansheng, what is the plan to capture the wolf, we can't wait." Chen Cixiu said with a smile.

"I'm looking forward to it......"

"The core of the wolf capture plan is to capture the 13th Division of the Japanese Army, this time our goal is not only to severely damage this Japanese army, but to annihilate the 13th Division in a systematic ......"

After Bai Jiansheng finished speaking, his irrepressible cheeks flushed.

The elimination of a division of the Japanese army in a structured way, before this was changed, let alone say it, and I didn't even dare to think about it.

But now. Now not only dare to think about it, but also dare to say it, everything is because of the appearance of the honorary first division, because of that person, Leng Feng.

If he hadn't pulled out such a strong force as the Honorary First Division from Nanjing, and quickly opened up the situation in Jiangbei to form a favorable situation, I am afraid he would not dare to think about it.

Leng Feng, a character that Bai Jiansheng couldn't wait to see, after this war. There should be a chance.

Everyone present was secretly frightened, Leng Feng's rise was without warning, this person seemed to jump out of a crack in the stone, shining in the starry sky like a comet. I just hope he doesn't just shine like a comet and then go out.

"Well, that's how the Japanese should be with these wolf ambitions!" Feng Huanzhang, who was not very good-tempered, slapped the table excitedly.

Lao Jiang frowned slightly, this old Feng is too impotent, the boss here seems to be me, right?

However, he didn't have a seizure, and it wasn't the first day he met Lao Feng. It seems that he is still a brother who worships the master, and he can't lose that bearing.

"What Brother Huanzhang said is extremely true."

"Chairman of the Committee, Brother Huan Zhang, Jiansheng, I have no objection to this plan, but what I want to know is, how sure is this plan?" He Jingzhi stood up and asked.

"Seventy percent!" Bai Jiansheng did not hesitate at all, and answered him directly, his confidence did not come from Leng Feng, but from his partner, Li Delin, the commander of the Fifth Theater.

He has never seen Leng Feng, and he is only fascinated by Leng Feng's record, and he does not dare to judge down, which is also the cautious side of his character, but he is still clear about Li Delin's understanding, so he dares to say that he is seventy percent sure.

Seventy percent!

In the military, there is seventy percent certainty, it can be said that it is a sure victory, Xiao Zhuge , the deputy chief of the general staff, said so, obviously very optimistic about the wolf capture plan.

"I wonder where Brother Jiansheng's faith comes from?"

"Because this place has been secretly occupied by our army!" Bai Jiansheng walked over and tore off the sun flag in Mingguang's position, revealing the **** flag inside.

This action made the eyes of all the generals who participated in the military meeting widen.

Only Lao Jiang sat there, the wind was light, and he was not surprised at all, obviously he had already known this result.

"Which troop?" Yang Gengguang asked excitedly.

"Honor the new 40th Brigade of the 1st Division!"

"How did he do it, it couldn't be?" Many people exclaimed, especially He Jingzhi, a general who has always been pro-Japanese.

"Makeup, raid!" Bai Jiansheng said slowly, he didn't believe it either, but this is the truth, the battle report of the Honorary First Division will never be falsely reported, and even you have to worry about whether he has something to hide and not report.

This is obviously different from those troops who kill a few devils and then boast about how many devils they have killed, as if they are afraid that their merits will be known.

"The wolf capture plan is divided into two stages, the first stage has begun, the target is the Japanese army in the Chuzhou area, this part of the Japanese army is mainly based on the 65th Wing of the 13th Division of the Japanese Army, with a total strength of five or six thousand people, the plan is completed by the Honor 1st Division, in the next week, the Honor 1st Division will concentrate more than two main brigades to deal a devastating blow to the 65th Wing of the Japanese Army in Dongxige Town......

"In the second stage, north of the Chihe River and south of the Huai River, concentrate the strength of about 100,000 troops of the four armies plus the Honor First Division to completely annihilate the 13th main force in Huainan, and the second stage will take about ten to fifteen days!"

"The wolf capture project is expected to be completed by the end of February to the beginning of March!" Bai Jiansheng continued, "In this way, we can free up our hands to deal with the Japanese army in North China, inflict another heavy loss on the Japanese army in the Xuzhou area, and force the Japanese army to sit down and negotiate with me." ”

"Of course, this may be our wishful thinking, the Japanese army may not be willing to negotiate with us at this time, but at least it can buy us three months and half a year."
