Chapter 999: The Battle of Tuojiang (I)

Outside Muzhou City, Tu Sanpao was smoking a cigarette and looking at the map without saying a word. The map covers the province from Muzhou to Yunnan, and the red arrows on it show the current attack posture of the Wehrmacht.

The blue arrows are the current support of the Japanese army, and the gear-shaped ones are the defensive routes made by the Japanese army. Several new airports have been built, which are now largely completed.

At the request of Tu Sancang, some of the soldiers in the army who were selected by Gao Zhihang were selected to be sent to the temporary training course of the Southeast Asian Air Force Command of the National Defense Force.

Fortunately, some of the Kunpeng and Tiger Moth are not single-seat fighters, and these aircraft are used as training planes and can barely be used. Once they are proficient in driving, the next step of training is carried out.

It has to be said that Tu Menghu's stipulation that the troops must be literate played a huge role at this time. The selected fighters quickly read the Air Force textbooks and learned certain operating skills.

And the hibernation of the Japanese army during this period also gave the Wehrmacht a gap to do pilot training.

During this time, Pao Ye has been waiting. Waiting for the support of the Southeast Military Region, but also waiting for a large amount of armaments and materials to arrive. At the same time, it was also waiting for reinforcements from the Japanese army.

Only by forcing the Japanese army to evacuate the troops on the front line, including the Philippines and Indonesia, can the sub-divisional troops of the Nanyang Army lurking in the local jungle have a chance to dispatch.

At present, although the Japanese army has drawn most of its troops to support, the troops in the Philippines and Indonesia are still about two to three brigades.

In order to deter local forces. At first, the Japanese army adopted a policy of gentleness in these places, and the local big families were willing to cooperate with the Japanese army.

However, after the disastrous defeat of the Japanese army in the Battle of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, cracks began to appear. A large number of Southeast Asian coercive troops were directly damaged in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, and their lives and deaths were unknown.

This makes many large local families unacceptable. Due to the large number of losses, the Japanese army had to forcibly recruit local people to exploit minerals and form a new coercive army.

These actions aroused the disgust of the local big clans, and some of them were already considering whether to contact the US military and fight guerrillas to drive the Japanese out.

Unfortunately, most of the guerrillas left behind by the American army were annihilated by the Japanese army. And that's all the information provided by these big clans. Many of them even helped to exterminate them.

And a large number of US prisoners of war died at their hands, which made them dare not easily contact the US military.

Of course, the Japanese know what the consequences of their actions in these places will be. Therefore, even if Ma Yaqing was ordered to bring troops to support, he only brought two divisions to support.

The remaining troops of the two brigades were placed in the Philippines to guard the local area. And the most important role of these two brigades is to deter the local big clans that may have two hearts.

Sugiyama Gen actually knew about these situations, so he didn't force Masaharu and the others to transfer all the troops. It is only required that they must use the main force to support the defense line of Muzhou and other places.

"Give the Japanese eight more days of happiness!" The cannon man smiled and threw the pencil on the map. The adjutant beside him was happy to see the cannon master. Walk in and whisper.

"Commander, it's time to eat. It's been a long time since we've called back this meal, and we've helped you heat it up three times......" Pao Ye frowned when he heard this, and said, "Why bother the kitchen?!" It's my fault that I'm eating tonight, how can you bother people?! ”

"Go! Apologize to the cooking class. Next time, I'll do that. The cannon master walked to the cannonball box on the side, sat down and said, "I know you are doing this for my good, but there is no need for this now." Sensei did this in the future, you know?! ”

"Yes!" This adjutant is new, and the former adjutant has been thrown by the gun master to study at the Wehrmacht University. After coming out, he will come to the front line as a platoon commander.

Then go up step by step. For his last adjutant, Pao Ye felt that he was quite sorry for him. In order to accompany himself, he did not have the opportunity to go to the battlefield for many years.

Now everyone is already at the age of Ben Si. If he is not allowed to go, then it is estimated that there will be little chance in the future. Therefore, the gun master decided to change to an adjutant.

On a table stacked with two shell boxes was a lunch box. When you open it, it's just simple white rice with some pork vermicelli and Chinese cabbage.

Food in the troops. You don't have to think about it to know the taste. The base is stewed in a big pot, and you will be served to eat. The taste is really average, but the portion is definitely enough.

Sitting on the shell box, the cannon master ate all the meals in three or two. At the end, he smashed his mouth. sighed that my life was too good some time ago.

As a result, if I don't drink two cups now, I feel that eating is not the right appetite.

"Commander, Commander-in-Chief Li of the Southeast Military Region is calling." Pao Ye just put down the dishes and chopsticks. The adjutant walked in solemnly and said to the gun. A glimmer of light flashed in Tu Sancang's eyes, and he said, "Read!" ”

"Commander-in-Chief Tu Dajian: After receiving the order, our Southeast Military Region immediately stopped repairing and recruiting troops. Open immediately. After a five-day train, we finally arrived in Yunnan Province. At present, the vanguard unit of our army, the Tian Siyi Division of the 4th Army Corps in South China, has arrived in the Liangshan area, and the rest of the troops can all arrive in Yunnan Province within five days, and the commander-in-chief will be asked to inform him of the specific arrangements......"

When Tu Sanpao heard this, he scolded with a smile: "This Li Delin is afraid that the Southwest Military Region will rob him of his military exploits. Can't wait to travel overnight! Fortunately, our plan may be able to be done in advance! ”

As he spoke, Master Pao walked to the map and looked at it. At this time, Deng Yinfan, deputy chief of the general staff of the National Defense Forces and chief of the general staff of the Southeast Asian Theater of the National Defense Forces, also hurriedly came to the headquarters.

"Commander, Li Delin is too rushed. I'm afraid that when he comes, he'll become tired. You can't enter the battlefield right away, it's better to fix a car for a day first. ”

Deng Yinfan's words are not unreasonable, even if he is an iron man in a continuous hurry, he will be exhausted. If the Japanese counteroffensive situation is critical, there is no way to let the Southeast Military Region fight directly.

But now it is the Wehrmacht that is the main attacker, and all the initiative is in the hands of the Wehrmacht. At this time, it was certainly impossible to exhaust his soldiers to meet the Japanese army.

"Hmm...... Let them recuperate for the day when they arrive and recuperate their spirits. Are you still afraid that this battle will not be fought?! Tu Sancang was as good as a stream, and then said: "Old Deng, I think let the 1st Army Corps of the South China Military Region enter Shanluo first to ensure the offensive posture in the Shanluo area." ”

"And the second and third corps of the South China Military Region are directly in Muzhou to assist us in breaking through the defense line in Muzhou!" Tu San pointed to the map in his hand and said, "Look! If we storm Muzhou, the losses will be great. ”

"But since we didn't take Shanluo, we have to take Muzhou now." After a pause, Tu Sancang sneered: "Of course, we have another choice. Over here! ”

Deng Yinfan followed Tu Sanpao's finger and looked, but saw that it was a town under the Tuojiang River: Fenshan. On the edge of Fenshan is Shanxi, and in front of Fenshan is Hanoi, the capital of Annam!

"Commander, do you want to storm Fenshan and then force the Japanese army to transfer the main force to fight you for a decisive battle?!" Deng Yinfan frowned and said, "Commander, Fenshan is not far from Shanxi on the side. In Shanxi, the Japanese army also stationed a large number of troops. ”

"If we want to attack Fenshan, then there is no doubt that the Japanese army in Shanxi will definitely not stand idly by." After a pause, Deng Yinfan said: "When the time comes, we will be passive......"

Pao Ye smiled and said, "I'm not stupid!" What are you doing directly to hit his fortified city?! ”

"My purpose is to hook up Shanxi and the Japanese army here!" Pao Ye said with a smile: "I have seen the situation of the battle of Shanghai, as well as those from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. To be honest, the Japanese turtle shell tactics are indeed unique. ”

"But we can't do anything about him." Pao Ye lit the table and said to Deng Yinfan: "Our biggest advantage now is that the support Japanese of the Southeast Military Region don't know yet. ”

"So, I'm ready to ask the South-Eastern Military District to try not to march during the day. At night, it's good to march from the path. Don't let them hide it for long, it only takes three to five days. ”

Tu Sancang stood up, looked out the observation window with his hands behind his back and said, "You say, if the Japanese army in Fenshan finds that there are more than 100 heavy artillery shelling them, then will they think that they have been attacked by our main force?!" ”

"Definitely!" Deng Yinfan nodded and said, if you encounter more than a hundred heavy artillery, there is no doubt that this will definitely be the main force of the Wehrmacht.

"What if at this time, the troops in Shanluo and Muzhou found that the troops in front of them did not have heavy artillery?!" Tu Sanpao smiled slightly, turned to Deng Yinfan and asked.

Deng Yinfan was cold, there is no doubt that the Japanese army would suspect that the main forces of Shanluo and Muzhou were transferred to attack Fenshan. After all, as long as Fenshan is cut off, and then Shanxi is taken down, then Hanoi will become an island.

The 1st Army first attacked in the Jiangbei area, and once the Wehrmacht appeared in Fenshan, it would cause panic throughout Annam. When the time comes, the two sides will attack the last town outside Hanoi - Dong Anh, and then join forces.

This leads to something that anyone can see. As long as this road is opened, then the persistence of Shanluo and Muzhou will become meaningless.

"This is my general direction, old Deng! You go and draw up a battle plan, and then we'll talk about it. "If it was in the past, Master Pao would definitely have to rack his brains to perfect the details of the operation.

But now that you have a staff department, what are you doing so hard?! Propose a general direction, and the General Staff will naturally complete it.

"Good! I'll go back and sort out my thoughts with the others, and I'll come up with two or three proposals for the commander-in-chief to choose from at tomorrow's meeting. After Deng Yinfan recorded Tu Sancang's thoughts, he nodded and turned around and left in a hurry......

ps: I can't stand it...... The head is very dizzy. Take a break...... The remaining 4,000 words will be filled in for you tomorrow.

Thank you Brother Ding Xuesong for the monthly ticket, and thank you Brother Liuyan for the reward! Thanks!
