Chapter 313: Breaking through to the north

ps: Thank you for the evaluation votes cast by the book friend "Hot-blooded Han Tang", this is today's second update, and I ask for recommendation votes ^_^ again

At this time, Chen Mingren, who also led the army to fight fiercely with the devil in Lunan, disobeyed again, he thought that Xuzhou could not be saved, rather than going back to be killed by the devil, it was better to break through to the north, so that there was still a glimmer of life, but if you want to tear apart the strong defense line of the Japanese army and kill a way out, how easy is it to talk about?

In order to confuse the devils, Chen Mingren knew that the Japanese army had already deciphered the communication code of the national army, and specially called back to Xuzhou to say that he would immediately go south to rescue, and used the cover of the night to send a small number of troops to bluff, creating the illusion that the main force was pulling the camp south. As a result, the Japanese army did not know what to do (Chen Mingren may have to go to court martial if he did this), and hurriedly sent troops to pursue, but the main force that Chen Mingren hid and remained in the position came to a head-on, and then took advantage of the victory to break into the Japanese position with empty troops, and tore open the opening for escape from the north in one fell swoop.

Although Chen Mingren is still only the commander of the 88th Division, because of Li Zongren's trust in his ability, the more than 100,000 national troops on the Lunan front are under his unified command, including the other two German armament integration divisions (87th Division and 36th Division). With such a large number of troops and sharing the benefits of fortifications with the enemy, Chen Mingren naturally strengthened his wings, and although the Japanese army had more than 100,000 people, it could not keep them after all. However, when Chen Mingren led the crowd to break out of the enemy's encirclement, there were only 70,000 or 80,000 people left in the original team of 100,000 people, and his 88th Division suffered even heavier losses because of the charge ahead, and the more than 30,000 people at full strength were now not even able to make up 10,000

At this time, Xuzhou was already in danger, although there were more than 100,000 national troops in the city. Even though Bai Chongxi, who was reporting to Lao Jiang in Wuhan, immediately took the risk of flying back after hearing the news, the only role was only to take the Fifth Theater Command out. Under the attack of more than 600,000 devils on three sides, Xuzhou City was broken by devils in one day. More than 100,000 wounded soldiers of the Nationalist Army were captured by the Japanese army. Fortunately, Hu Weidong's previous practice of exchanging prisoners of war had an effect, and it was rare that the devil did not massacre these prisoners

After Hu Weidong learned the news, he finally realized that the total number of troops invested by Japan in the Fifth Theater may have exceeded 800,000 (in fact, if the number of attritions in this year is added, the total number of troops should be no less than one million). Instead of the five or six hundred thousand he thought, the devil should have guessed that his telecommunications password had been leaked again, so he deliberately planned to hide his strength first, and then suddenly attack when the Chinese army was paralyzed. Sure enough, it had a miraculous effect, and Bai Chongxi's short departure and the astonishing power of the large-scale armored forces in the plains field battle made the devil's conspiracy stand out and play a more effective effect than expected.

But to be honest, even if the devils didn't play conspiracy and didn't form a mecha army, the national army in the fifth theater probably wouldn't last long. Although the casualties of the National Army in the Fifth Theater exceeded 300,000 and the Japanese army also had more than 200,000, which should be the best exchange ratio played by the National Army since the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the mobile strength of the National Army has been firmly contained. However, because of the continuous increase in troops, the Japanese army has the spare strength to draw out troops to form mobile troops to intersperse and detour, but the national army is most afraid of detours, so the collapse of the fifth theater is a matter of time, but it may not be defeated as quickly and so miserably as it is now.

Chen Mingren is aware of this. In his opinion, the only one in the Chinese army who has the ability to crack the devil's trick is the Red Party army. Especially the prestigious 15th Group Army. However, when he later met Hu Weidong to talk about it. Hu Weidong replied, "Our Chairman Mao said that in the case of not having an obvious advantage in strength, there is no army on Shijie that is not afraid of interspersed infiltration, and our 15th Group Army is naturally no exception, but the devils are also afraid, so if you want to crack their penetration, you only need to 'use the way of others, and govern their bodies.'" And do it better than them."

Chen Mingren then understood that the Weishenme national army always can't beat the devils, even if it is an ace army with elite soldiers, in the final analysis, it is because the national army always passively waits for the devils to attack first, and then relies on fortifications to hold on, and this just gives the Japanese army the opportunity to continue to infiltrate. However, having said that, since most of the soldiers in the Nationalist Army were obtained by catching strong men and were extremely poorly organized and disciplined, if the Japanese army and the 15 th Army frequently used the tactics of interspersed detours, I am afraid that more soldiers would take advantage of this opportunity to desert and run away than to be killed by devils

Of course, these are all later words, and it is said that although Chen Mingren successfully broke through, he could not immediately get rid of the pursuit of the Japanese army, but fortunately, the Soviet aid air force arrived in time, although the Japanese army was crazy, but did not dare to march during the day under the threat of the bomber group, and could only sit back and watch the tens of thousands of national troops march away. As the only all-motorized unit of the 15th Group Army, Sun Liren's new 38th Division naturally became the forerunner of the southward reinforcements, and Chen Mingren ran into the vanguard of the division the next morning

Chen Mingren was not a timid person, but after listening to Sun Liren's words, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and shouted, "Brother Fumin, are you saying that if you don't wait for the large army to arrive, you will rely on one of your divisions to attack?" Are there more than 100,000 Japanese troops there? And there are at least 600,000 more to the south! ”

"It is precisely because there are still 600,000 devils behind the enemy that we must preemptively defeat the 100,000 Japanese troops in the south and take down the position as a line of defense against the main force of the Japanese army, otherwise if the superior forces of the main force of the Japanese army launch an attack on our Shandong base area through this position, our 15 th Group Army has been in an offensive posture before, and it has been transferred to the defense in a hurry, and there are so many fewer troops, and it is inevitable that it will suffer a big loss." , Sun Liren shook his head disappreciatively and said.

"And the Japanese army has just won a big victory, and it is inevitable that we will be psychologically relaxed, this is a good opportunity for us to launch a rapid surprise attack and seize this position from the devils, Brother Ziliang, you can break through, don't you also take advantage of this?" , Sun Liren continued.
