Chapter 307: Counterattack Plan

readx;? The next morning, on the bed in the single ward, Wang Haitao slowly opened his eyes, and his eyes were all white, Wang Haitao wanted to ask: "Where is this?" but only a soft snort came out of his throat. Although the snort of the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info was very soft, it still alarmed the Tangshan leopard who was watching him on the side in the quiet ward.

Tangshan Leopard jumped from the chair to the side of the hospital bed, and asked in surprise: "Junzao, are you awake?" Wang Haitao turned his face a little hard, and saw the familiar face of Tangshan Leopard, and then the scene when he was assassinated appeared in his mind. Just when Wang Haitao was recalling, Tangshan Leopard had already sent someone to call a doctor.

After the doctor examined Wang Haitao again, he said to Tangshan Leopard: "Commander Tang, the military seat is fine, as long as you pay attention to rest, you will recover soon." After Wang Haitao drank a small cup of hot water, he was able to speak, and his first sentence was to ask Tangshan Leopard: "Mountain Leopard, how long have I been sleeping, and how is the war going now?"

Tangshan Leopard replied: "Junzuo, you have slept for two days, you can rest assured of the war, with Deputy Division Commander Li and Chief of Staff of the Military Army in command, Little Japan is still attacking Yangliu Town, and it has not taken advantage of it." After listening to Tangshan Leopard's answer, Wang Haitao calmed down, no longer asked anything, but closed his eyes, as if he was going to sleep again.

After another day, Wang Haitao finally came to his senses completely, and he asked Tangshan Leopard to invite Li Yuanhong and Wu Jianzhou to come, and then tried to half-lean on the bed. The effort was not great, Li Yuanhong, Wu Jianzhou and Liu Yong from the security department came to the ward. As soon as he entered the ward and came to Wang Haitao's bedside, Liu Yong said to Wang Haitao with a ashamed face: "Junzao, it's all because I didn't do a good job that Junzao was assassinated and injured." Remove me, Commander!"

Wang Haitao smiled and said: "I can't blame you for this, I am also careless, after all, you are also talented in security work, and there will be inexperience." However, you have to learn from the lessons and lessons, and there can be no next time, and you can't relax on the anti-special things. Liu Yong said gratefully: "Yes, Junzao, I promise that there will be no next time." ”

At this time, Li Yuanhong and Wu Jian asked about Wang Haitao's situation with concern on Tuesday. Wang Haitao waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, I came to you today to discuss with you how to deal with little Japan." This time, Little Japan dared to send someone to the county seat of Jingxian County to assassinate me, and let me sacrifice a few guards, this breath I Wang Haitao can't swallow. I have to teach little Japan a lesson.

So when you spread the news, you say that I am seriously wounded and unconscious. Then give up Yangliu Town, and then slightly block the Japanese army in Gaoqiao Township, and put the Japanese army outside Qinxi Town. Let Tang Xiaoshan quickly find the heavy artillery position of the Japanese army, and finally use the heavy artillery regiment to knock out the heavy artillery position of the Japanese army when it was just dark, and then shell the Japanese army. After the shelling, the armored regiment was dispatched to counterattack the Japanese.

When the Japanese army is released, let the 278th Brigade counterattack the wing that attacked them, and strive to defeat that wing, and then leave a battalion to garrison Nanling County, and other troops will take the opportunity to take Xuancheng County for me, and tell Brigade Commander Mu that I will send a reconnaissance regiment to fully cooperate with them to take Xuancheng County. I'm going to see if Masaki Ito and Washzu Matsudaira can withstand my all-out counterattack. ”

Wang Haitao's words surprised Li Yuanhong and Wu Jian, but on the other hand, when they thought about it, during the defense of Nanjing, the 16th Division of the Japanese army was also eaten in this way, and in the face of the invincibility of heavy artillery and the unstoppability of the armored regiment, even if the Japanese army had two divisions, it would definitely not be able to stop its own offensive in this kind of terrain that was not conducive to the deployment of heavy troops.

Thinking of these two people, I was relieved again. Tangshan Leopard also said excitedly to Wang Haitao on the side: "Junzao, this counterattack is required by our guard regiment, and I want to avenge Junza!" Wang Haitao glanced at Tangshan Leopard and said: "The counterattack is naturally indispensable to your guard regiment, the first battalion of your regiment and the first battalion of the 568th Regiment are all veterans. ”

Turning his head, Wang Haitao said to Li Yuanhong and Wu Jian: "In Qinxi Town, you still have to hold on for three days, make a posture of being trapped and fighting, and attract the Japanese army to attack desperately and strive to frustrate its edge, so that the counterattack can be smoother." This battle will be under the full command of the two of you, and you can make your own decisions, so you don't need to ask me again. ”

Wang Haitao also intends to cultivate the ability of the two to be independent. After Li Yuanhong and Wu Jian got off on Tuesday, they saw that Wang Haitao was tired, so they asked Wang Haitao to pay more attention to rest, and then said goodbye and left the hospital. Seeing the two of them leaving, Wang Haitao instructed Tangshan Leopard to bring a message to Wei Changhai, and asked Wei Changhai to show mercy to the two guards who died at home, and then fell asleep tiredly.

Li Yuanhong and Wu Jian returned to the headquarters on Tuesday and immediately convened a meeting of all officers at and above the division level, and even the brigade commander Mu Suzhong and his two regiment commanders in Nanling County also returned to Jing County. In the command room, all the officers of the 93rd Division and above were present, except for Tang Xiaoshan, commander of the reconnaissance regiment, and Wang Daoyuan, the county magistrate, Ding Tongsheng, captain of the police brigade, and Lin Yuxi, captain of the security team, also attended the meeting as observers.

At the beginning of the meeting, Li Yuanhong said to everyone: "Everyone, let me tell you a good news, the military seat has woken up and is in good condition. Li Yuanhong's words were like a reassuring pill for everyone, and everyone's faces eased. There are a lot of people here who come to the meeting with trepidation, for fear of hearing bad news. I don't know who took the lead, there was applause in the command room, and soon the applause was loud, and it was uncontrollable, and the eyes of the old people of the former independent brigade flashed with tears.

It took a long time for the applause to subside. Li Yuanhong continued: "In the morning, the military seat summoned me and the chief of staff of the military in the ward, and made a plan for counterattacking the Japanese army. ”

Wu Jianzhou stood up at this time, picked up a document, opened it and said: " First, tomorrow the Security Department will release all the suspicious persons in custody and release the news that the military seat is seriously wounded and critically ill; second, the 572nd Regiment of the 279th Brigade will withdraw from the Yangliu Town position tomorrow night; third, after holding off the Japanese troops at the Gaoqiao Township position for one day, they will withdraw from their positions at night; fourth, they will hold their positions in Qinxi Town for three days to strike at the Japanese army's vital forces and thwart their advance; fifth, on the evening of the third day of the Qinxi Town blockade, the two heavy artillery battalions of the Heavy Artillery Regiment will carry out artillery strikes on the Japanese troops outside Qinxi Town, and the primary target will be the Japanese heavy artillery positions; and sixth, after the artillery attack, all the tanks of the armored regiment except the antiaircraft artillery battalion and the first battalion of the guard regiment will be attackedThe 1st Battalion of the 568th Regiment of the 277th Brigade formed an assault vanguard to carry out an assault on the Japanese army; 7th, the 573rd Regiment of the 279th Brigade and the 569th Regiment of the 277th Brigade formed a counterattack force to continue to attack the Japanese army with the assault vanguard. ”

Wu Jianzhou paused when he read this, glanced at everyone, and then continued: "According to the meaning of the military seat, this time we will take Xuancheng County together, and this task will be completed by the 278th Brigade and the reconnaissance regiment. When the main force of the Japanese army arrived at Qinxi Town, the 278th Brigade was to launch a counterattack against the Japanese army outside Yijiang Town, and to defeat the Japanese wing. Then, in addition to leaving a battalion to garrison Nanling County, the whole brigade marched to Xuancheng County, and when the Japanese army outside Qinxi Town launched an artillery bombardment, it would launch an attack on Xuancheng County, and the reconnaissance group would cooperate with you in attacking Xuancheng County. ”

Speaking of this, Wu Jianzhou sat down, Li Yuanhong said: "The military seat asked me and the chief of staff of the armed forces to have full authority to command this counterattack battle, who still has doubts, you can raise it now." After everyone was silent for a while, Huang Gang, the commander of the 279th Brigade, stood up and said: "Deputy Division Commander Li, it's not that I can't believe in the plan of the military seat, but there are 30,000 people in the two divisions of the Japanese army, and in addition to the losses, there are 20,000 people in Qinxi Town, and we are sure that we will counterattack with two regiments of 4,000 people?"

Li Yuanhong replied: "Brigade Commander Huang only recently joined our Ninety Army, so it's no wonder you have doubts. During the Battle of Nanjing, we annihilated the 16th Division of the Japanese Army with the strength of a brigade, and suppressed the 18th Division of the Japanese Army without advancing an inch. ”

After General Huang Gang sat down suspiciously, Wei Yongshou, the commander of the 569th Regiment, stood up again and asked: "Deputy division commander, this time we also want to be the same as in the Battle of Nanjing, blocking the Japanese army on the way to the defeat and retreat, and strive to completely annihilate these Japanese troops and avenge the military seat?" Li Yuanhong shook his head and said: "This time we can't stop the defeated Japanese army. First, because once the Japanese army has no way to retreat, it will fight to the death with our army, and it is really unpredictable to fight to the death with 20,000 well-trained Japanese troops, and even if they win, it will only be a miserable victory. Second, the 279th Brigade is bound to be a recruit brigade after all, and if it loses too much, it will certainly suffer a great loss of vitality, which will be detrimental to our future operations. Therefore, this counterattack demanded that the Japanese army be destroyed as much as possible, rather than completely annihilating the Japanese army. ”

After Li Yuanhong announced the adjournment of the meeting, everyone left the headquarters and went separately to prepare for this counterattack. Li Yuanhong also instructed the confidential department to get in touch with the reconnaissance group and convey the contents of the meeting to Tang Xiaoshan. After Tang Xiaoshan received the telegram, he was also excited to make relevant preparations.

The next morning, the security department released the suspects and revealed to them that Commander Wang Haitao was seriously ill and that the troops were preparing to evacuate Jing County. On the same day, the news reached the ears of various forces through various channels, and Wang Weikuan, the commander of the special service battalion of the New Fourth Army, came to the county seat of Jingxian to inquire about the news.

Li Yuanhong knew that Wang Haitao did not treat the New Fourth Army as an outsider, so he directly brought Wang Weikuan to see Wang Haitao. Wang Haitao told Wang Weikuan about his counterattack plan from his hospital bed, and asked Wang Weikuan to tell Commander Chen Yi that he should pay close attention to the movements of the Japanese army in the direction of Hangzhou and be ready to meet the enemy. At this time, Wang Weikuan relieved his heart and told Wang Haitao to pay more attention to rest before leaving.
