Chapter 304: Driving the Dog into the Hole
Ninth Theater Command. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
At this moment, in Xue Yue's command post, dark clouds were thick, and the battle situation was terrible.
"Chief Xue, the 3rd Division and the 6th Division under the command of Okamura Ningji's 11th Army are storming our three heights of 037, 039, and 041, and the 9th Army under the command of Wu Qiwei has suffered very heavy casualties although it has resisted stubbornly."
"The forward positions of the 64th Army, the 25th Army, and the 70th Army have all been broken by the Japanese army, and the situation is very critical, so I ask for support!"
Hearing Wu Qiwei's telegram asking for help, all the officers in the command post were shocked.
"Damn, Okamura Ninji, this old devil, is really a fucking old cat, and he called him when he smelled fishy."
"Yes, the 29th Group Army has just left the defensive line, and in less than a day, this Okamura Ningji mobilized 2 Japanese divisions and regiments to attack our three positions."
"The 3rd and 6th divisions of the Japanese army are one of the earliest permanent divisions formed by the Japanese army, and their combat effectiveness is very strong.
"The Nanjing Massacre belongs to these two divisions, and the number of people who slaughtered our soldiers and civilians is the largest!"
"Chief Xue, I'm afraid Wu Qiwei is really going to be unbearable!"
At this time, Xue Yue's heart was also very anxious.
Okamura Ninji's movements are far faster than he imagined!
The rear is unstable, the front line is urgent, and the current situation is bad!
At that moment, Xue Yue gritted his teeth and said: "Tell me Wu Qiwei, if you can't stand it, you have to give it to me, if you lose the three highlands of 037, 039, and 041, Lao Tzu will be the first to shoot him!" ā
"Yes!" The adjutant immediately responded.
Support?
By the end of the morning, Xue Yue had already received several telegrams asking for help, some asking for troops, some for weapons and ammunition, and some for aircraft reinforcements.
Xue Yue was also eager to meet all their requirements, but at present, none of them could be satisfied!
The non-stop fierce fighting in the past four months has almost exhausted all the strategic reserves of the national ~ army.
Every bullet, every gun, and every grenade in the ranks of the national army is saved by the people in the rear, from the rations of life, one bite at a time!
Where is there now a surplus of supplies and troops to replenish the front line?
"Hey!"
Xue Yue sighed: "Fortunately, the port of Guangzhou is still in our hands, if we lose even Guangzhou, then we will not be able to fight the battle!" ā
In the final analysis, war is fought for national strength!
The national strength of the government of the Republic of China is far inferior to that of Japan ~ Ben, and it is currently very dependent on the assistance of the international community, among which the port of Guangzhou is the only remaining sea supply line.
As for the safety of Guangzhou, the top level of the state government is also very concerned.
Did the Japanese army dare to risk offending the British and French to launch an attack on Guangzhou?
This point of view, at the top level of the national government, is also divided in opinion.
Some people believe that the Japanese army will never dare to attack Guangzhou!
There are also people who believe that the Japanese army will never dare to attack Guangzhou!
There are also the vast majority of people who believe that the Japanese army will attack Guangzhou, but in the next two years, it is absolutely impossible to attack.
Therefore, most people still think that the security of Guangzhou is relatively safe, so most of the troops from the Guangdong army were transferred to participate in the Battle of Wuhan.
"Shh
The nerves that had just breathed a sigh of relief were tensed again by three successive messages asking for help.
Zhang Zizhong of the 59th Army called and asked for reinforcements;
Liu Ruming of the 68th Army called and asked for support;
The 77th Army Feng Zhi'an came to ask for support;
"The little devil of the dog ~ day ~ will not give us a chance to breathe at all!"
The main force of the Ninth Theater lacked the 29th Group Army, that is, it had a shortage of 100,000 troops, and the vacant gap required its own troops to be garrisoned, and its strength became extremely tight on the 100-kilometer-long defense line.
7 days!
The time that Xue Yue gave to the 29th Army was 7 days.
But it's only the first day now, and the gap in the defense line is on the verge of collapse!
Once the Japanese army breaks through any of the high grounds, it will inevitably bring about a chain reaction, and the entire defense line will face great changes at that time!
For 7 days, I'm afraid the front line will not be able to hold on!
Xue Yue immediately said in a deep voice: "Adjutant, immediately send a telegram to Wang Zhangxu of the 29th Group Army, ordering him to shorten the time to destroy the enemy, from 7 days to 5 days, and at all costs, I must destroy the 106th Division of the Japanese Army." ā

Wuchang City, Headquarters of the 29th Army.
"Ladies and gentlemen, my White Tiger Column has just received news that more than 6,000 people from the 136th Brigade under the command of the 101st Division of the Japanese Army have rushed to the area of the White Elephant Collar, which is less than 130 miles away from Huangpi."
At that moment, Ouyang informed the information to the officers of the 29th Group Army.
"What?"
"How come the Japanese army still has reinforcements?"
"Then we're going to have a fart!"
"If you can't beat it, you have to fight, and you must not let the little devils go on rampant anymore!"
"When did our Sichuan army coax it, the big deal was death!"
For a while, all the officers shouted, and their faces were swollen red.
Although everyone's fighting spirit is strong, there is really no bottom in their hearts.
One by one, the officers clenched their fists to death.
During this period, the concept of the strong combat effectiveness of the Japanese army penetrated deep into the hearts of the Chinese, all of which was caused by the repeated defeats of the national ~ army.
From August to November 1937, the Battle of Songhu was fought.
The national ~ army invested more than 800,000 troops to resist the Japanese army 300,000, and the result after the war was the defeat of the national ~ army, with 300,000 casualties and 40,000 Japanese casualties;
In December 1937, the Battle of Nanjing.
The Kuomintang ~ army suffered more than 60,000 casualties, the Japanese army suffered 12,000 casualties, and lost the capital Nanjing.
From January to May 1938, the Battle of Xuzhou.
The national ~ army invested a total of more than 600,000 troops to fight against the Japanese army of 240,000 people, and the result after the war was still a Chinese fiasco, with more than 100,000 dead and wounded national ~ troops and more than 26,000 Japanese troops eliminated;
In addition, the Battle of Zhenjiang, the Battle of Jinan, the Battle of Jiangyin, the Battle of Taiyuan, the Battle of Lanfeng and other large and small battles.
In just one year, the national ~ army has lost more than 1.6 million troops!
During this period, the whole of China was shrouded in a fog, a fog of the invincibility of the Japanese army.
Panicky!
Disturbed!
Extremely popular!
At that moment, Ouyang looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Commander-in-Chief Wang, Commander Xu, Commander Liao, please listen to me, even though the Japanese army has a brigade of reinforcements, we still have hope to eat the Japanese army in a very short time!" ā
Hearing this, Commander-in-Chief Wang Zhangxu said: "Then what do you mean by supporting the strategy of strong attack?" ā
Storm?
It's still an unavoidable problem, if you want to eat the 106th Division of the Japanese army in a very short time, you can only attack!
Wrong, big mistake!
Immediately, Ouyang replied: "A strong attack will only make the soldiers die in vain, and the number of casualties must be a number that we cannot bear, and even if we choose to attack, it does not necessarily guarantee that we will be able to annihilate the Japanese army within 7 days."
"In addition, the one mentioned just now by Commander Liao to sit and wait for the fighter plane to drag down the Japanese army is even more infeasible, we simply don't have that time!"
"It's not advisable to storm by force, and it's even more ridiculous to sit back and wait for fighters!"
"Therefore, I suggest that we should tear the encirclement and release the Japanese army to fight!"
Put it out and fight?
Ouyang's words immediately confused many people.
"Huh!"
Ouyang smiled and continued: "Everyone, take a look at the map, the terrain of Huangpi is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, we can't take advantage of it at all. Even if we attack with artillery fire, it will be difficult to inflict too much substantial damage on the Japanese army, but on the contrary, we will consume a lot of weapons and ammunition in vain. ā
"Therefore, we should do the opposite and let the Japanese army out to fight!"
"Everyone, look at the north side of Huangpi - the snail collar!"
"Just now, I have sent the first and second regiments of our column to Luokou to intercept the Japanese reinforcements,"
"If you look at the topography of the snail collar again, it is curved and twisted, nine bends and eighteen bends, just like a snail, stretching 20 kilometers before and after, which is very conducive to us building a position and encirclement."
"We let the Japanese army out, and use our artillery offensive to force the little devils to the snail mouth collar, the terrain, troops, people, we all occupy it, and when the time comes, how to fight, it's not all up to us!"
In a word, Ouyang's strategy is to give up the first battlefield, force the little devils into our army's new second battlefield, and take advantage of the right time, place and people, and can inflict heavy losses on the Japanese army in a very short time.
To describe it in four words, it is to drive the dog into the hole.
In the fierce dog, as long as we enter the hole, we will put the hole in the mouth, and then we will not fight as much as we want!
When the words fell, everyone was in an uproar!
"This plan is very good and very bold, how to say? A bit of an adventure. ā
"I agree, for the sake of today's plan, we have no choice but to take a risk!"
Driving a dog into a hole is a good strategy, but it is also a very risky strategy.
The adventure lies in the fact that before driving the dog into the hole, we have to protect ourselves from being bitten by the dog.
Ouyang added another fire and said: "Commander-in-Chief Wang, we can't hesitate any longer, now that the morale of the Japanese army is low, we still have 60% certainty to implement the trick of driving the dog into the hole, but in a few hours, this trick will not be good!" ā
For a while, everyone's eyes were on the commander-in-chief Wang Zhangxu, waiting for his decision.
Should you take the risk or not?
At this moment, Wang Zhangxu's adjutant pushed the door in and reported: "Commander-in-chief, Chief Xue is in a hurry!" ā
Hearing this, Wang Zhangxu immediately took the telegram and exclaimed, "What? Now it's just 5 days for us! ā
7 days changed to 5 days!
No one felt angry at Xue Yue's order, and there was only deep worry in their hearts.
Xue Yue, known as the tiger boy, he is an excellent soldier and knows the seriousness of the change of the imperial order, but it is precisely because of this that everyone is more and more worried.
Xue Yue's front line, I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand it!
Otherwise, he would never have given the order to change the length of the battle!
"Bang!"
Suddenly, Wang Zhangxu slapped the case and shouted: "Ge Laozi, Lao Tzu will also gamble this time, Lao Tzu still doesn't believe in evil!" ā
At that moment, Ouyang laughed, and finally convinced Commander-in-Chief Wang Zhangxu!
"Ding Dong!"
