Chapter 1342: Slow Attack
When the 1st Brigade of the Nyaung Pass Garrison Corps, which was mainly attacking the western part of Yangon, attacked the Japanese troops in the urban area, all four regiments encountered difficulties in different ways, especially the 3rd Regiment, which was blocked by a building, and the brigade commander, Major General Liu Jinsheng, was so angry that he was ready to use artillery fire in order not to affect the progress of the attack.
Of course, all the heavy artillery is left in the suburbs, and what Liu Jinsheng can use is only mortars and tank guns, and the power is far worse than that of heavy artillery, but it is better than nothing, Liu Jinsheng wants to pass through the tank troops, "Commander Wu?" I am Liu Jinsheng, you immediately transferred five tanks to the forward position of the third regiment, and when you encounter the little devil's Wang Bahuzi, the attack of the troops is blocked, you give me a strong bang! ”
Regiment Commander Wu hesitated for a moment and replied: "Brigade Commander Liu, the division commander has an order, and when attacking the city, artillery fire is not allowed, I am violating the order, if our brigade commander knows, he can't spare me!" You might as well find another way! ”
Liukin was angry, and shouted with a red neck: "Commander Wu, since your tank regiment is assigned to our brigade, it is under my command, what are you afraid of?" If something goes wrong, I'll take it, and I'll do it! ”
At this time, the communications staff officer shouted: "Brigade commander, there is a call for you!" Liukin shouted without replying: "Didn't you see that Lao Tzu was busy?" Sue him, I'm not available, what's the matter, I'll call him in a moment! Net chaos! ”
The staff officer's face was immediately colorful, and he lowered his voice and said: "Brigade commander, it's the commander looking for you!" Liu Jinsheng belched, his face changed, and he hurriedly took the phone, "Report to the commander, I am Liu Jinsheng, and I am organizing the troops to attack, what instructions do you have?" ”
On the other end of the phone, Feng Jiwu sneered and said, "Liu Jinsheng, what a big temper, which old man are you?" Liu Jinsheng's eyes immediately grew. Hesitantly, I don't know what to say, the commander's tone is not good, he glared at the communications staff officer angrily. The staff officer, who knew that he had caused trouble, shrank his neck and hurriedly sat back.
Feng Jiwu asked, "What's the matter, Liu Jinsheng, don't speak?" I've heard that you're going to use artillery as well, that's good. I'll send you an artillery brigade, and you can bomb it vigorously and blow up Rangoon, how magnificent is that? How capable is that? Or, I'll coordinate and transfer you three regiments of bombers, ground artillery, and sky planes. How magnificent you are in the war! ”
How dare Liu Jinsheng talk back, what the commander said was all the opposite, and his voice dropped an octave. said: "Commander, isn't that my mantra, don't go to your heart, the attack of the troops is blocked, I am anxious, delaying the attack speed of the corps, how can I still have the face to see people?" He wondered, how did the commander know that he was going to use artillery fire?
Feng Jiwu continued: "I see that you Liu Jinsheng is confused, the military meeting held by the division commander. You didn't attend? What are the recoilless guns and bazookas for the newly equipped troops? Decoration? Or did you Liu Jinsheng take the words of the teacher as a meal? We're not in a hurry to take Rangoon, take your time, well, after the battle, you hand over command to the chief of staff. Report to the Corps Headquarters! ”
Liu Jinsheng slapped his thigh, how could he forget those two treasures, his sweat came down, usually, although the commander was stricter, he didn't speak so harshly, what happened today, "Commander, I just think about it, hasn't this been put into action yet?" It's not a violation of the teacher's order, if I correct my mistake, I don't have to report to you alone, right? ”
This was a bit of a recklessness, Feng Jiwu also laughed, and said: "Don't just patronize and rush, use your brains more!" Do you remember the words of the division commander, we have no right to pay for our mistakes with the lives of the soldiers, think about it more," put down the phone, Liu Jinsheng wiped the sweat on his head, breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered: "All regiments immediately stop the attack, and only after finding a proper way can we continue the attack, order the third regiment to concentrate the recoilless guns and bazookas of the whole regiment to open the way!" ”
After giving the order, Liu Jinsheng ordered the driver: "Immediately rush to the third regiment, I want to see the power of these two treasures in actual combat," the armored command vehicle accelerated suddenly, and under the escort of the guard troops, it passed through the battle-torn battlefield and came to the position of the third regiment.
Tang Qiuli looked at the two telegrams, which were reports from Li Honggang and Feng Jiwu on the attack on Yangon, "Division commander, our unit was ordered to launch a general attack on Yangon at four o'clock this morning, the initial attack was smooth, after the battle line advanced to the depth of the city, the resistance of the Japanese army was significantly strengthened, and by 6 o'clock, the attacking troops and the Japanese army engaged in fierce street fighting, the battle was in a state of stalemate, and the advance was slow. ”
After reading the two telegrams, Tang Qiuli was not in a hurry at all, and said to Tang Qiusheng with a smile: "Brother Qiusheng, Ito wants to eat and is afraid of being hot, if you don't fight, you can't get over your face, you can't beat it ruthlessly, and you are afraid of being wrapped in dumplings, he will shrink his troops to the east of Yangon, and he already has a plan to retreat south, Ito is also an interesting guy, and finally understands my kindness, you see, is it to put the Sulu Mobile Corps into the battlefield, and then increase the pressure on Ito, and force him to evacuate Yangon as soon as possible?" ”
Tang Qiusheng pondered for a moment and said: "Ito can only adopt the current way of playing, once the battle situation is not good, immediately retreat south, as for the resistance of the Japanese army, it is also the meaning of the question, at least, it is much weaker than we estimated, my opinion is that the Sulu Mobile Corps will not move, the capacity of the Yangon battlefield is limited, and investing more troops will make the battlefield chaotic, and I have only one countermeasure, which will slowly consume, and Ito can't stand it!" ”
Tang Qiuli laughed and said: "Brother Qiusheng, I'll give you a name for your playing style, it's called the warm boiled frog tactic, that's good, just give an order to the attacking troops, don't rush to attack, keep the smooth advance of the battle line, break through the troops that are too far away, stop the attack immediately, wait for the follow-up troops to follow, don't let Ito take a bite!" ”
Staying in the command headquarters, there is really nothing to do, just an idler, there is Brother Qiusheng in the overall command, Feng Jiwu and Li Honggang on the front line, two tigers fighting a sick cat, there is no suspense, there is a burst of gunfire in the direction of Yangon, which tickled Tang Qiuli's heart, and the smell of gunpowder smoke went straight to his nose, and he couldn't sit still anymore.
Tang Qiuli rolled his eyes and said to Tang Qiusheng: "Brother Qiusheng, I rushed to Yangon, you are commanding here, some troops still need to be corrected in terms of tactics and fighting methods, and some problems are better solved on the spot!" This reason is very lame, far-fetched, and it can't be explained, but he really can't think of any reason.
Tang Qiusheng was taken aback, and said without thinking about it: "This is not good, although we have occupied one-third of the area of Yangon, but the battle continues, even if it is occupied, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no Japanese soldiers who will slip through the net, it is too dangerous, one bullet can give you the supreme commander of the ** division, causing mortal danger, I don't agree with you to go!" ”
Tang Qiuli didn't expect that Brother Qiusheng's reaction would be so fierce, so he lowered his face and begged Tang Qiusheng, swearing that he would never go to the front line, so he stayed in Li Honggang or Feng Jiwu's corps headquarters, and didn't even go to the brigade headquarters below.
Liu Xinlan has long been fully armed and ready, not only with a pistol hanging from her waist, but also with a submachine gun and a military belt, outlining the graceful posture, which is already plump, more prominent, rubbing the clouds and twin peaks, swaying up and down with her footsteps, this dress, Tang Qiuli is hot in her heart, her eyes are straight, and she secretly swallows saliva, Liu Xinlan is very disdainful of his pig brother appearance, but her heart is beautiful, and the man who can attract herself is also very fulfilling!
Out of Yangdong, Tang Qiuli got out of the armored command car, not to mention the slow speed of this thing, but also suffocated and panicked, drove a few special guards off the jeep, pulled Liu Xinlan up, out of the cage like a bird, one foot on the accelerator, the jeep galloped away like an arrow, leaving billowing smoke and dust, the mountain tiger grinned, with the special guard, chased closely, dozens of military jeeps, raised a smoke dragon on the avenue.
Before he arrived at the entrance of Feng Jiwu's corps department, he saw from a distance that a large group of officers were standing at the door and looking, Tang Qiuli braked very aggressively, and the jeep made a 180-degree turn on the spot, which frightened Liu Xinlan almost screamed, and when she opened her eyes, she had stopped steadily in front of the officers.
Feng Jiwu hurriedly caught up and said complainingly: "Division commander, why did you come to the front line?" It's dangerous here! Tang Qiuli narrowed his eyes and said jokingly: "This is also called the front line?" I didn't even go into Yangon, and if there is danger in your Commander Feng's corps headquarters, my division headquarters will not have a few brigades to protect it? ”
Feng Jiwu and the officers who came to greet him, laughed loudly, the atmosphere was relaxed and happy, looking at the division commander's guard lineup, there were more than a dozen armored command vehicles alone, not counting trucks and jeeps, Feng Jiwu also felt that he was too worried, but he still called the head of the corps guard regiment, Tang Qiuli hurriedly stopped: "Jiwu, don't be busy, I'll rush to Yangon City immediately and go to the front to have a look!" ”
Feng Jiwu was anxious and said: "That's not good, I just received a call from Deputy Division Commander Tang, and I will never allow you to go to the front line, I promised the Deputy Division Commander!" For Feng Jiwu, Tang Qiuli didn't have any fear, he took out the division commander's style, and directly ordered it, and threatened: "Jiwu, if you tell Brother Qiusheng about me going to the front, you are good-looking!" Don't say I'll transfer you back to the division headquarters to sit on the cold bench! ”
Feng Jiwu couldn't cry or laugh, but he regained a little bit of the feeling he had when he was in the Northeast Blood Hand Regiment, and then he thought about it, simply, he also went up, according to Tang Qiuli's request, he wanted to go to the most uneasy troops, Feng Jiwu thought about it for a while, and went to the Third Regiment of the Liujinsheng Brigade, a long convoy, stepping on the traces of the battlefield, and rushing into the downtown area of Yangon, which was filled with gunpowder.
