vs 252 Why do the devils attack?

Seeing Zhang Lingfu, Shi was still very happy. Since being promoted to division commander, Zhang Lingfu has obviously been a lot busier, and only came to Liucheng once a year ago to visit the stone. In fact, the main thing that time was to ask for weapons from the stone, others didn't know the reality of the stone, Zhang Lingfu knew it in his heart, and knew that he had a lot of guys here. After that, Zhang Lingfu was busy training the troops, obviously wanting to seize every minute of his time and strive to let the 58th Division give full play to its due combat effectiveness before the next battle began.

The collapse of the 58th Division in the Chishi River area last time was not caused by Zhang Lingfu, but it was also regarded by him as a great shame. After all, from the Battle of Songhu to the present, the troops commanded by Zhang Lingfu, whether it is the 305th Regiment or the 153rd Brigade, are known for their ability to fight tough battles. What kind of unit was the 305th Regiment at the beginning? However, it is the reorganization of the local security regiment, but under its command, there are many bloody battles with the Japanese army, and there are not a few difficult battles to the death. And a unit like the 58th Division, which has fought countless battles, will actually have a rout, and it is really a shame.

"Brother Zhang, how is the situation on the front line now?" After Shi and Zhang Lingfu walked out of a distance, he couldn't help but ask in a whisper.

Zhang Lingfu looked around, and then said, "Didn't you kid ask knowingly?" If the situation is good, will I transfer you from Liucheng? It's just that at the moment the front-line troops are still in the stage of tentative offensive, and the situation has not yet been clarified. However, since the last time they suffered losses in western Hubei, the commanders have now become extra cautious, and they have transferred various departments early in case of emergency. ”

Shi couldn't help but be surprised: "Isn't the Battle of Western Hubei a big victory?" There were also a number of officers who participated in the battle, and they were rewarded for it......"

Zhang Lingfu sneered when he heard this: "You don't know the way the peaks do things!" As long as the devil retreats, it will be a great victory, and as long as he kills a few devils, he will repay the merit. As for how many troops have been lost, and whether the devil's retreat is a breakthrough or an active retreat after achieving the goal, who cares? If we really have to win so many battles, how can we be beaten back again and again by the devils? If it is really a great victory in the battle of western Hubei, how can it be that the Shishou and Huarong on the east bank of the Yangtze River are not taken back, so that the devils can use this as a jumping point and can calmly go west? ”

Shi Shi couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, these things are really not something that they can control, although the commander of the major general seems to be a big official in the eyes of ordinary soldiers, but only Shi himself knows, he is just a big cannon fodder.

Zhang Lingfu has stayed in this area since the Battle of Western Hubei, so he knows more about the situation here than the stones. And the relationship between them is far from being comparable to ordinary people, and they know everything about each other. After Zhang Lingfu complained, he couldn't help but continue: "In the past few years, the number of attacks by devils has become less and less, on the one hand, because the place occupied is too large and it takes time to digest. On the other hand, because of the defeats on other battlefields, the devils have been unable to hold on to several fronts of the battlefield at the same time, otherwise, if the devils maintain the original coherent offensive, we will not lose the country, but it will definitely not be as easy as now. The last time the devils launched the Battle of Western Hubei, in fact, the main purpose was to open up the route to the upper reaches of Changsha and seize the rich land of Dongting Lake granary. After the battle, the strategic purpose of the devils was basically achieved, so in my opinion, the battle of western Hubei was defeated by us. ”

"In addition to wanting to continue to expand the results of the Battle of Western Hubei, another point is that during this time, the Military Commission transferred a total of 7 troops from the 6th and 9th Theaters to Yunnan and India to prepare for a counterattack on Burma. Zhang Lingfu said.

Shi couldn't help but suddenly realize, no wonder the devil has not sent troops since the defeat of the Battle of Changsha, but this year it is two large-scale attacks in succession, which is obviously contrary to the situation under the devil. Now that he heard Zhang Lingfu say this, he suddenly became enlightened, and he naturally had a sense of proportion for the next battle.

Since the devils are very tight in the Pacific theater and Southeast Asia, and the guerrillas in the occupied areas are harassing them everywhere, the devils must not be able to fight a protracted war in front of them. With the current national strength of the Japanese army, it is obvious that this is not allowed. Then, how to fight this battle is naturally very clear, that is, drag!

No matter whether they win the war or defeat it, as long as the devils are dragged and dragged in the continuous battle, the continuous consumption of war materials, weapons and ammunition is difficult for the Japanese army on all fronts to bear, and in this way, it is enough to be invincible. The reason why we can have the current situation is that the strategy of "exchanging space for time" at the beginning has made great contributions, and the other is that the successive victories of the Allied forces on other battlefields have turned the Chinese battlefield from a main battlefield to a main diversion battlefield. The difference in the focus of the battle situation has also led to the difference in the current situation.

In the following time, Zhang Lingfu told Shi Shi some other things to pay attention to, and then separated from him, and the two rushed to their respective troops and began to be busy with the matter of setting up camp.

After crossing the river, the Independent Regiment is now temporarily stationed in a wooded area south of Taoyuan. There are still a few villages in this area, but where can a small village accommodate so many people from the Independent Regiment? Moreover, Shi and the others have always strictly forbidden all departments to disturb the people, so it is not convenient to camp in the field when they are stationed in the village, anyway, they are fully equipped and have sufficient facilities, as long as there is a convenient place for water.

When he returned here, a crowd of people was waiting for him to return, and when they saw the stone, they gathered around him. Lin Xiufeng, attached to the regiment, asked first: "Tuanzao, is it a march or a camp?" ”

Shi Ying said: "Let's camp and rest first, but we won't stay here for a few days, and it is possible to continue to go north at any time, so that the brothers in each camp are ready to send out at any time." ”

Wu Zihuai, who was on the side, couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this, and asked, "Tuanzao, isn't the battle situation on the front line optimistic?" ”

Shi shook his head, and suddenly didn't know where to start, and after a long silence, he said: "The situation is a bit complicated, Shangfeng seems to have just judged the devil's combat intentions, so there is a possibility of adjusting the deployment at any time." Speaking of this, he couldn't help but turn his head to the criminal ugly on the side and asked, "Is there a map of Changde?" ”

Xing Chou shook his head and said, "There is only a sketch map that roughly marks the maps of various places, there is no topographic map for combat purposes, and the combat map of the military headquarters has not been distributed. ”

Shi nodded and said: "Take it first, I'll tell you the general situation, while it's okay now, you can also discuss the next development of the battle together, if you have some understanding of the entire battle situation, it will be of some help to the next battle, so far the topographic map, wait until you get to your respective defense areas, and then go and figure it out yourself!" ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the map and gave a general account of what he had heard from the military headquarters and the situation analyzed by the staff, so that everyone had a general understanding of the battle situation in front of them. After all, fighting in such a strange place, where there may be enemies, where there will be friendly troops is a very important thing.

Everyone on the side were veterans who had been killed for a long time, and Shi just said it once, and they generally figured out the situation and the battle situation here. When the stone finished speaking, Liu Wenfeng on the side sneered and said, "Why did you call us from Liucheng in such a battle?" In my opinion, a sixth war zone alone is enough to block the attack of the devils. More than 100,000 people, with the natural danger of Changsha, and the two rivers of Tanshui and Yuanjiang to rely on, the overall defensive formation here is no worse than Changsha. Moreover, Shi just said that the front-line troops did not find the elite of the Fourth Division and the Sixth Division, and the only troops that can fight seem to be the only one left, the Third Division, so what is there to be nervous about in such a battle? ”

Wu Zihuai on the side couldn't help laughing and said: "Although what Battalion Commander Liu said is good, fighting is not child's play. And there are too many variables, so it is also appropriate to have more back-ups. The amount of time we spent in Liucheng was longer than the rest of the other friendly units of the 74th Army. Having been in Liucheng for such a long time, our independent regiment will definitely come to the war sooner or later. Since he is here, no matter which unit the devil in front of him is, he has to risk his life to fight. ”

At this time, the tall sledgehammer on the side couldn't help but snort coldly and said, "Crazy, don't expect this battle to be easy. What are friendly troops, haven't you figured it out in the past few years? After speaking, he stopped talking, and he still had the usual sparse words.

And Hu Zi also continued to say at this time: "Sledgehammer is right, when we were in Changsha, although we didn't suffer anything, the other divisions suffered a lot. If it weren't for the fact that Shi Shi was cautious enough, when he was transferred to the defense area of the 51st Division, he deliberately rushed to the military headquarters, I am afraid that even the military headquarters would be served in one pot. Those friendly troops in the Ninth War Zone are finally battle-hardened troops, and this is how they behave. Therefore, we will wait and talk about what the friendly troops in the current Sixth Theater will be able to fight at that time, and the main question is where the summit will arrange us in this battle, and how should our regiment's battle be fought! If it is an enemy army of equal strength, we are definitely not afraid, but if we rely on one of our regiments to hold back the devils of two divisions like in Changsha, hehe, this battle is not easy to say. ”
