Zhao Dengyu held the 'Qinglong Knife' in front of him, and he didn't even say hello, and he was quite unreasonable to split his head and cover his face, and chopped it to Fujita's Third Division with a knife. In the back, Zhuo Fan, who got the report, not only did not criticize him for being reckless, but slapped the table fiercely: "Okay, great!" ”

"Commander, what's so happy?" As soon as Wu Qiwen and Luo Binghui, commander of the 3rd Mechanized Infantry Division, walked to the front of the car, they were startled by this applause. "Quick, close the door." After Zhuo Fan pulled the two closer to the carriage, he closed the hatch and handed over the telegram: "See for yourselves." ”

"Storming Dingzhou City at night? This Zhao Dengyu, I don't think he should be called a big knife, but Zhao Daring! Chief of Staff Wu Qiwen was taken aback. Dingzhou City is not big, but it is not small, there are about 50,000 households. Even in the turmoil of war, the city has a population of more than 100,000. Poor and remote, the buildings are messy and dense, relying on an experimental 'Night Battle Tiger Battalion' to break through Fujita's nest, which has more than 20,000 people pressing the formation, this Zhao Dengyu is too bold, right?! "Hehe, why are you so excited? That's a good thing. ”

Wu Qiwen rolled his eyes, is this still a good thing? Night city warfare is still the biggest problem for the armies of various countries, and the complex streets and building complexes are the best cover in themselves. You have to be cautious during the day, and you have to rush in with an armored division in the middle of the night, this is not nonsense.

"Don't worry, listen to me." Seeing his anxious face, Zhuo Fan smiled, held him down and explained: "Look, this is Changgangling, this is Dingzhou City." Fujita clearly wants to take advantage of the geographical advantage and is condescending. If the 37th Division wants to break through during the day, it will inevitably be attacked by highland artillery. If you hit Changgangling first and there is a lack of infantry, if you wait for the infantry to be in place, you will not be able to pass for three days. ”

"Then you can't rush into the city at night."

"Nope! It's not a rash move, it's a good move. You think, you can't imagine that Zhao Dengyu dared to break into the city at night. Fujita can think of it? Taking 10,000 steps back, even if he was prepared, the visibility at night was poor, and the Changgangling Heights were several kilometers away from Dingzhou City, and with the naked eye, Fujita's artillery could not even see the target, so they could only fight indiscriminately, which was equivalent to paralyzing half of the role of the highland. Zhuo Fan took a deep breath: "I won't hide it from you, in fact, I already wanted the 37th Division to speed up and rush in, and it was best to make a mess." Let a part of the troops pass through the city quickly, and then join the troops attacking from the high ground head-on, implement a quick encirclement, and open the southward passage. Now Zhao Dengyu can do this first, and it will save me more saliva. ”

"The commander is right, although it is troublesome to attack the city at night, but in this way, the artillery fire deployed by Fujita on the eastern high ground is also useless. As long as Division Commander Zhao is not greedy for merit, he will concentrate his troops and break through to the south of the city. Crossing Dingzhou before dawn and leaving Fujita behind may not be impossible. Luo Binghui next to him listened to it, and his eyes lit up. He is also a member of the army, and he started as a small soldier under Cai Yi. participated in the Battle of Qingdao, and in the Battle of Raineywell, he led a company to block the counterattack of a German infantry battalion, and he was an officer who fought hard. If it weren't for the poor culture after returning to China. took the initiative to go to the Baoding Army Academy for several years to further his studies, so he delayed his promotion, which may have been a popular candidate for the commander of the army. However, he was able to take over Zhuo Fan's command of the Third Mechanized Infantry Division. He was also satisfied, after all, there were not many troops in the whole army that could be called the Tiger Division.

Luo Binghui applauded, and secretly admired Zhuo Fan in his heart. Don't look at Zhuo Fan who is a full eight years younger than him, but what he said just now is really the posture of the commander of the group army. You must know that if you change to other officers, after thinking of destroying the enemy's superiority on the high ground with a night attack, you will definitely let the 37th Division attack immediately. But he deliberately held back and watched, letting Zhao Dengyu think for himself, and not to act unless necessary. This is not only the art of commanding, but also the skill of investigation and employment. Being able to be under his command is not wronged, so he immediately got up and said: "Commander, the 37th Division has gone up, you won't let our third division be idle here, right?" ”

"Well, there's no hurry." Zhuo Fan motioned for him to sit down and asked, "Where are the 72nd and 104th Divisions?" ”

"The 72nd Division and the 104th Division can arrive at Yongbyon tomorrow morning, and I will follow your plan and let the 177th Infantry Division follow them."

Zhuo Fan looked at the map, thought about it, and said, "Let them speed up, and they must seize Yongbyon before dawn." After taking Yongbyon, do not delay, immediately cross the river and attack Akutagawa. The 104th Division then diverted its route to Wonsan Port to the east, and the 72nd Division continued south to Suncheon. Tell them to try to break through as much as possible with the battalion as a unit. Division Commander Luo, you go back immediately and take the 3rd Division to catch up with Division Commander Zhao. You don't want to entangle the enemy in Dingzhou, and immediately follow the passage opened by the 37th Division and go south to Anju as soon as possible. Also, tell Division Commander Zhao that after he took Dingzhou, he would go to Shunchuan to join the 72nd Division, and then go straight to Feihuling in the direction of Yangde in the southeast, and strive to cross the north-south dividing line of the battle line as soon as possible. As he spoke, he drew a few arrows on the map. Each arrow extends out of several small arrows, which at first glance is a battalion and regiment-level breakthrough tactic.

Wu Qiwen's eyelids jumped, what kind of war is this! One to two, two to four, four to eight Although everyone has studied this new tactic before, how can it feel so unsafe to implement it now? Luo Binghui was also a little worried: "Commander, if I leave, you will only have the 119th Division left here, what about safety?" Also, the 37th and 72nd Divisions were inserted diagonally into Feihuling, and Anzhou was not the only one with my 3rd Division and 119th Division to fight? Wu Qiwen also nodded: "The order of the headquarters is for us to attack Pyongyang and Seoul along the west coast, and you suddenly split three arrows like this, and one is towards Wonsan, isn't it out of range?" Oh, by the way, you're looking at this, which was just forwarded by the command. The informant had already sent in Itagaki's transfer plan. You see, there are eight divisions of the Japanese army on the front line of the Qingchuan River, five in Guang'anzhou, and the first tank division under the care of the chief of staff. We relied on two divisions to go straight to Anzhou, it was too risky! Moreover, with the battalion and regiment scattered to break through, it is easy to be surrounded and divided by Itagaki's heavy troops. ”

"What are you afraid of! I still wish that Itagaki would encircle and suppress it. Zhuo Fan narrowed his eyes, like a cunning fox, and blinked: "Besides, there are 12 divisions behind me." There is also the 2nd Airborne Division and the reserve of 20 divisions at the headquarters. So, don't worry about not having enough troops, we'll just do that. The more Zhuo Fan spoke, the lighter he became. Gradually, the three heads squeezed together, whispering and laughing. Hearing this, the guards standing guard outside also shuddered, and secretly thought, the commander is afraid that this time he will play such a shady trick as the gasoline array.

Ten minutes later. The back door of the carriage opened, and Luo Binghui led a company of excited shouting officers to lead the 3rd Mechanized Infantry Division to accelerate south to catch up with the 37th Division. Zhao Qiwen, who has always been calm, also smiled at the corner of his mouth and sent a telegram to the Theater Command in Sinuiju.

After receiving the telegram, Zhu Peide, the commander of the theater of operations, was a little stunned, and immediately stuffed the telegram to Liu Mingzhao next to him, scratched his head a few times, and said happily: "Look at it." This Zhuo Fan, who has not yet passed Dingzhou, has come to command us. ”

"Oh? What does he want to do? Liu Mingzhao took the telegram. After looking at it twice, I suddenly burst out laughing.

"You can still laugh." Zhu Peide glared angrily, drew back the telegram and handed it to the staff officer: "According to this, mark the route." "Yes." The staff officers immediately indicated on the map with thick lines the lines of movement of the various units and the expected direction of operations indicated in the telegram. Looking at the arrows and dotted lines that were constantly splitting, merging, and splitting again, Zhu Peide was a little big: "Mingzhao, what do you say he wants to do?" Look, after passing Dingzhou and Akutagawa, let the 37th and 72nd Divisions converge and run towards Feihuling. He took the 3rd Division and the 119th Division to Anju, but the 104th and 177th Divisions went to Wonsan, and also let the divisions, regiments and battalions as units to carry out breakthrough operations. What's this weird way? ”

Not to mention Zhu Peide, the staff officers next to him were also confused, only Liu Mingzhao smiled, got up and picked up the whip: "I'll talk about it." He now hated to make a breakthrough in the troops. Let Itagaki be all over the world to contain it. The reason is also very simple, you see, Itagaki is along the Qingchuan River in Anzhou. Eight divisions are stuffed, and this is the convergence of many rivers, even Zhuo Fan, without ten days and a half months, without paying a big price, he can't take it at all. As for Zhuo Fan, he didn't want to waste time in Anzhou, so he simply took a detour, and deliberately put on a three-way posture to force Itagaki to encircle and suppress. You should know how many troops need to be invested in encircling and eating a heavily armored regiment of our army with the firepower of the Japanese army? Liu Mingzhao swept the wide-eyed staff officers around him and continued to explain: "So, I dare to guarantee that he will not let the 104th Division and the 177th Division go to Yuanshan at all, and will definitely turn back halfway and return to Feihuling to join the 37th Division and the 72nd Division, and then the four divisions will go hand in hand and go directly south to the pre-war demarcation line and go here." Looking at the position where Liu Mingzhao's whip finally stopped, Zhu Peide almost shouted: "He wants to avoid Anzhou and Pyongyang and go straight to Seoul?!" ”

"The way is good, the Japanese army has only eight divisions along the Cheongcheon River in Anju, and the rest are either north of Wonsan or south of Seoul. If you can quickly break through the demarcation line, even if only one armored division succeeds, you can break through the whole line with points and areas. However, I am worried that Commander Zhuo will not have enough troops. Commander, chief of staff, you see, the first line of Feihuling is all mountainous, and this kind of terrain cannot rely on armored troops alone, and must be supplemented by a large number of infantry. But Commander Zhuo only had two serious infantry divisions in his hands, and one was still dragged in front of Anzhou. ”

"That's why he's commanding us!" Liu Mingzhao smiled, pointed to the end of the telegram, and asked the staff officer to read it to everyone. "I implore the commander and chief of staff to telegraphically order the Second Airborne Division to be on standby, to order the Air Force to prepare transport aircraft for support, and to order the Falcon Group to rush to contact tomorrow morning." After the staff officer finished reading, everyone finally understood. Zhuo Fan did not plan to attack Anzhou this time, and then Pyongyang and Seoul fought one by one, but avoided the real and made use of the division and integration of the troops to induce the enemy to encircle. When the troops opened the gap, they took advantage of the superior air force to suddenly project a large number of living forces on the assault route of the gap.

"Clear-ground coordination, frog jumping, snowballing." A staff officer, with starry eyes in his eyes, summed up nine words in admiration. Thinking of Zhuo Fan using armored power to constantly pierce the Japanese defense line to open the gap, and then projecting a large number of living forces to the front of the gap, just like this, the snowball kept rolling, and finally formed a scene of rolling torrents sweeping the pre-war demarcation line, everyone was excited!

"I think he had a premeditated plan, and he advanced to Busan in 3 months, hehe, I'm afraid he is fooling you." Zhu Peide laughed, remembering that before the attack, Zhuo Fan said that it would take three months to take Busan.

"I'll help him." Liu Mingzhao smiled slightly, exhaled deeply disapprelicly, and then looked straight: "Order the 8th Army and the 39th Army to speed up and move towards Jinqing!" The 20th Army, the 24th Army, the 2nd, 4th, 5th, and 6th armies of North Korea were ordered to attack South Pyongan Province and South Hamgyong Province with Jangjin Lake as the center. Order the 26th Army, the 1st Army of North Korea, and the 3rd Army to speed up and catch up with the Zhuofan cluster! The 2nd Airborne Division, the 30th Army and the 74th Army of the Reserve were ordered to prepare for the landing. Liaise with the Air Force to strengthen air support on the peninsula from now on, and prepare for large-scale pre-war transportation. ”

Zhu Peide and the staff officers nodded again and again, worthy of Liu Mingzhao! Not only did he see through Zhuo Fan's intentions and tactics at a glance, but he also deployed repeatedly, using a large number of troops to contain the Japanese army north of Yuanshan, and with Changjin Lake as the center, he squeezed the Japanese army north on three sides to prevent them from retreating and intercepting Zhuo Fan. In this way, 12 divisions of Itagaki were dragged to the north! In this way, the power in Itagaki will be reduced by more than a third. If Zhuo Fan can take the opportunity to quickly cross the demarcation line, he can cut off North Korea! The schedule of cutting off Pusan and encircling the Japanese army in Korea was greatly shortened...... (To be continued)
