Section 117 Counterattack on Gao'an XIII

Tsuda Tatsusen was stunned with the telegram sent from Chazishan in his hand, his face was full of incredulity, and he looked like he was reading some fantasy story. In fact, the content of the telegram is indeed a bit unbelievable, a brigade and more than 10,000 troops are stationed on the front line of Gao'an, guarding a small city the size of a palm, but it has only been less than half a day, and Gao'an has been lost, how is this possible?

Tsuda Tatsusen took the telegram and read it several times, and after making sure that he was not mistaken, he called the communications officer again and asked if there was any mistake in translating the code. It wasn't until he was sure that there had really been an unimaginable change on the front line of Gao'an, that he gradually calmed down, and helplessly thought about how to deal with the current situation.

To be honest, the situation here is not good, even before, he wanted to ask the 102nd Brigade if it could send some troops to help him guard the Xiangfu Temple, although they have nearly 2,000 soldiers here, but he does not feel the slightest sense of security, the enemy troops who suddenly appeared on the north bank of the Jinjiang River in the early morning are like a dagger inserted into their abdomen, although it is not deep, but in this fatal place, where dare to have the slightest carelessness? Just let the dagger advance a little more, even a little bit, and it would be life-threatening. But without figuring out this enemy force, where did he dare to be careless? Not to mention taking the initiative.

However, as time went by, his original idea fell through, but in a matter of hours, the Gao'an frontline, which was originally pinned on high hopes, not only did not wait for reinforcements, but received the bad news of the loss of Gao'an, and the combat effectiveness of the 102 Brigade was naturally not comparable with the troops of the 6th Division and other first-class divisions, but compared to the enemy, with the same strength, it was also several times stronger. The 102nd Brigade was able to be routed in such a short time and driven them out of the city of Gao'an, and how many troops of the enemy army were thrown into a frontal attack? Three, or five? The enemy army threw the forces of the army group in Gaoan?

Tsuda Tatsusen was taken aback by his own thoughts, can such a small place in Gao'an accommodate an army of this size as a group army? What will be the situation of the 106th Division in Fengxin now?

Fengxin is too far away from them, Tsuda Chen thought about it for a while and then stopped thinking about it, after all, he is just a wing commander, the battle situation at this level is not something he can figure out, what he can know now is that after the loss of Gao'an, the situation of the 102 Brigade is very bad, since the enemy can break through the heavily defended Gao'an, then although the Chazi Mountain north of Gao'an has some geographical advantages, it is still much worse than Gao'an City, in this case, how long can the 102 Brigade hold on the front line of Chazi Mountain? Once they are defeated, the auspicious charm will bear the brunt.

In other words, it is usual, Tsuda Chenshen is not too worried, after all, even if the 102 Brigade suffers a defeat, but the combat power will be saved a lot, after withdrawing to the Xiangfuguan, with the fortifications here and their troops, even if they can't stop the enemy's attack, but they can still hold on for a period of time, and then retreat, Dacheng can hold on for a long time, so calculated, the enemy wants to fight Nanchang not only has a huge loss of troops, but also will take a long time. If there is such a long time as a buffer, presumably the division headquarters has already made arrangements, whether it is to draw reinforcements from Nanchang or let the 106th Division on the front line of Fengxin go south, it is enough to defeat the enemy.

However, the situation is very different now, in their flanks and rear, there is an enemy army, this enemy force has not yet determined the number of enemy troops is very likely to become a variable on the battlefield, once the enemy army attacks the auspicious charm view head-on, this enemy army kills from behind, even if the number is not very large, it is enough to inflict a fatal blow on them, the death and wounding of a little manpower is not a big problem, the most important thing is that if the auspicious charm is lost because of this, the big city is directly exposed to the attack of the enemy, not only the big city can not hold, even the Xishan Wanshou Palace will definitely not be able to hold it.

Thinking of this, Tsuda Chenshen couldn't help but wake up Huo Ran, and he suddenly thought of something. Why did the enemy cross the Geumgang in the early hours of this morning? Thinking of the bloody battle on Gao'an's side, it is obvious that this is a premeditated arrangement of the enemy army, judging from the news brought back by the sentinel, the enemy army does not seem to have the intention of directly attacking Xiangfuguan at that time, that is, the most likely thing for the enemy army is to hide somewhere and launch a fatal blow to them at a critical time? Moreover, this enemy army has not launched an active attack on them until now, judging from the actions of the enemy army, the number of this enemy army may not be large? At least they don't have the courage to attack directly, which can tell part of the story.

Thinking of this, Tsuda Tatsusen couldn't help but secretly rejoice, it seems that he has indeed been made by a series of defeats and has lost the courage and confidence to take the initiative to fight. If they had sent people to find out the situation of the opponent's forces as soon as they received the news and then sent troops to attack in a timely manner, I am afraid that this enemy force would have been solved long ago, and without the containment of this enemy army in the flank and rear, no matter how large the number of enemy troops in the front was, they would have enough confidence to hold the enemy back with the sharpness of their artillery and strong fortifications.

Thinking of this, Tsuda Tatsusen couldn't bear it anymore, and while he sent a reconnaissance squadron to continue to detect the current position of this enemy army, he ordered the third and fourth brigades stationed in Dacheng to immediately draw a part of their forces to move closer to the Xiangfuguan line, ready to take the initiative to attack this enemy army at any time.

At the same time that Xiangfu watched the Japanese army wing headquarters nervously arranging a number of emergency military situations, the stones on the slopes of Jinggangling were also nervously arranging detailed battle plans, only to see Lin Xiufeng, Wu Zihuai, Hu Zi, Liu Wenfeng, Gao Da Hammer and other major officers were all there, and even staff officer Zheng Yongchang was also surrounded by the side, except for the third battalion commander Li Shijian and staff officer Liu Taiping, who were obviously in the previous period of time, the stone had made separate arrangements for them.

The geographical location of Jinggangling is very special, it is about 12 miles away from Xiangfu Temple, and about 15 miles away from the big city, but it is away from the road between the two places, forming an inverted triangle-like existence. As early as when Laojing Village was studying the next stage of the battle plan, Shi Shi had already chosen a foothold on the north bank of the Jinjiang River, and this was his preferred destination.

The top of Jinggangling is not high, the mountains are continuous, there are no villages within a radius of several miles, and it is very inconvenient to enter and exit only a few mountain trails. They had suffered a lot when they came here from Moziling before, but fortunately, although the trail was inconvenient, there was still a way to go, and they were used to this kind of trail and the ability to climb the mountain, but it did not stump them. After arriving here, the stone is a change from the original strategy, he gave up the idea behind the surprise attack auspicious charm, and actually ordered the troops to build a defensive position by the mountain and the forest, this arrangement was a surprise to everyone, although they have long been accustomed to the whimsical when the stone fights, but the battle orders and plans for this battle are all issued by Wang Yaowu personally, it is said that the entire attack strategy is set by the military ministers themselves, and the stone has just begun to change the battle plan so blatantly, so that, If it is known by Shangfeng in the future, then it will be okay?

"Stone, we don't play auspicious charms anymore?" Liu Wenfeng looked at the red arcs marked on the map, and couldn't help frowning slightly and asked hesitantly.

Although Liu Wenfeng's question was very tactful, it made the stone clearly feel their inner thoughts, and looked up at everyone, only to see that they were either frowning slightly or groaning one by one, although they didn't say anything, but obviously they had some questions and puzzles about the arrangement of the stone. This situation made Shi sigh secretly, it seems that some things are not clear, and this battle cannot be fought. Keeping the same mind from top to bottom and unifying thinking is the most basic condition for winning a battle, and if they do not agree with the battle plan, then they will naturally not be 100 percent attentive in carrying it out, and in this way, it will be easy for things to happen.

Shi pondered for a moment, stretched out his hand and pointed to the map and said slowly: "In this battle, you may not know the entire battle plan and intentions, but there is still some time, so let's discuss it together." In the next few days, every move of our regiment will be related to the victory or defeat of this battle, so everyone must understand the purpose of our regiment crossing the river and heading north. ”

Seeing everyone's gazes, Shi said calmly: "Maybe you all already know that this battle is a joint operation of our 9th Theater and the 3rd Theater, the purpose is to recapture Nanchang and rebuild the defense line on the south bank of the Yangtze River, we don't need to worry about the attack strategy of the 3rd Theater, and the attack plan of our 9th Theater is to use our 74th Army's outline as the main offensive task, and the other armies will contain and cover on the flanks." Therefore, this battle is actually to put it bluntly, what really contributes to the fight is our 74th Army, whether we can win the decisive battle with the devils, whether we can break through the devil's defense line and kill under Nanchang City, what we see is whether our 74th Army's attack is sharp, and whether our combat power is strong. ”

"According to the original attack strategy, we will take the lead in the north bank of the Jinjiang River to attack, if we can successfully sneak attack to take the auspicious Fuguan, and the main force of the army has delayed the main force of the devil in Gao'an, then, in the case of the devil has no time to divide the troops and take care of him, the main force of the Japanese army in Gao'an is basically surrounded by us, as long as we can eat such a large wave of devils, the style of the entire battlefield will be laid, and then all the way to Nanchang will be extremely smooth, if the situation allows, the main force of the army will turn around and go north, If the Japanese 106th Division can be defeated in the Fengxin area, then taking Nanchang will be as easy as finding something. ”

Although everyone had heard some operational things scattered and scattered, it was the first time they had heard Shi Shi explain the entire battle situation in detail, and it was the first time they heard such a large-scale encirclement and annihilation plan formulated by the military headquarters, and they couldn't help but be stunned.
