Section 164 The Real Purpose of the Japanese Army?

Shi couldn't help frowning when he heard Wang Yaowu's order, although in his thoughts, taking the initiative to outflank the devil's back road was indeed a good strategy to break the enemy, and even if the attacking troops grasped the opportunity well and attacked in the right direction, it was entirely possible to end the devil's artillery position in one fell swoop. Although the strength of the Japanese army at the moment was abnormally strong, and the artillery losses on one battlefield were not enough to affect the entire battle situation, in any case, it was enough to delay enough time so that the 57th Division's battle at Chunhua Mountain could be fought more easily and hold out here longer.

However, after all, the stone felt that the order of the military seat was given a little early, and the killing effect of the attack at this time was limited, and the raid during the day would be discovered by the devil from a long distance, and the unexpected effect would be greatly reduced, and if the devil could not be dealt a major blow, the risk seemed to be too great. It may be that the military seat really doesn't want the loss of the 57th Division to be too big! After all, it is not long before the battle of Shanggao at this moment, the 57th Division has just changed its equipment and replenished its troops, and the situation in all aspects is much worse.

"Junzuo, the 58th Division was attacked by devils on the front line of the Chishi River, and Deputy Division Commander Zhang urgently reported that the Japanese army was no less than one division in front of him, and this battle seemed a little strange." The officer of the communications section on the side reported with a dejected face.

Even if Wang Yaowu was experienced in a hundred battles, he couldn't help frowning at this time, he knew that Zhang Lingfu was not the kind of frivolous person, even if he reported that the devil in front of him had a division, it was definitely a very large-scale attack by the devil. But the current situation really puzzled him, the Chishi River is only a dozen miles away from here, and the devil has arranged more than two divisions at once at such a short distance, what does the devil want to do? Do they still want to fight Changsha?

"What is the situation on the 51st Division?" Wang Yaowu pondered for a while and then couldn't help asking.

"Junzuo, the 51st Division and the 37th Division of the 95th Army are stationed in Fenglindu, and their positions have also been attacked by the Japanese army, so far, the devil's attack is still mainly artillery attack, and the number of infantry is unknown, but according to their observations, the artillery unit deployed by the Japanese army in front of Fenglindu is at least more than one artillery wing, and the dense shells have never been broken, and they can't raise their heads when they bombard directly." Another officer returned.

Shi immediately said: "Junzuo, this battle is strange, the devil has gathered no less than two divisions in front of us to launch a fierce attack, I don't know if it is a coincidence or accident, but no matter what, it will definitely not stop if we don't take Chunhua Mountain." ”

Wang Yaowu also nodded solemnly and said: "That's true, Shi, I originally planned to let them rest for a day before participating, but the current situation seems to be that they can't wait that long, you immediately go back to Yong'an to gather troops, ready to reinforce the front line at any time, I'm afraid they won't last until it gets dark." ”

Shi bowed his hand and saluted: "Rest assured, the independent regiment can join the battlefield at any time." Looking at the solemn expression on Wang Yaowu's face, Shi Shi didn't dare to delay, and immediately turned around and left, and quickly rushed in the direction of Yong'an.

When the stone arrived at the regimental headquarters, a group of principal officers were already anxiously waiting for him to return, and as soon as they saw the stone, they surrounded him. Chief of Staff Wu Zihuai greeted him quite eagerly and said: "Tuanza, the situation is not good, the friendly 57th Division on the front line of Chunhua Mountain has been hit hard, and the field supplementary regiment of the 57th Division has been surrounded by devils. ”

Shi couldn't help but glance at Shen Qingyun on the side, and seeing his pensive expression, he couldn't help but ask, "When did this happen?" ”

Wu Zihuai couldn't help but reply: "This is the military intelligence report just sent, as for other things, we don't know yet." Didn't Tuanza just come back from Chunhua Mountain? Could it be that the 57th Division can't stand it anymore? The devil has completed the division and encirclement? ”

The headquarters of the independent regiment was originally a restaurant, but at this moment the building was empty, and the remaining tables and other things were set up with telephones and radios, and the officers and men of the communication company were constantly busy, and the news from all over the battlefield gathered here, and the commander of the communication company, Zheng Yongchang, received these orders, and then constantly marked on the map, which could help the commander grasp the battlefield situation in the shortest possible time and understand the military situation and battle reports in the area. However, listening to the constant noise inside, and looking at the information that was constantly gathering from all over the place, Shi felt that this time it was pitch black in front of him, and he had a feeling that he could not see the situation on the battlefield clearly.

Shi pondered for a moment, and then reluctantly said the operation of the 57th Division Field Supplement Regiment to take the initiative, and after speaking, he looked at the stunned crowd: "Now you know what happened, right?" The field supplementary regiment was regimental, obviously falling into the ambush of the devils, and the devils were able to predict our combat routines before the prophets, so it was obvious that they had a deep understanding of our troops. Facing an enemy whose strength is far above yours and who is very familiar with and understands you very well, this kind of battle is not easy to fight, and it seems that the 57th Division will not be able to hold on to Chunhua Mountain for long. ”

The people on the side couldn't help but be shocked, thinking that the supplementary regiment of the 57th Division would fall into the encirclement of devils as soon as they attacked, and that kind of terrible scene, as if they were in the midst of a monstrous wave, it was difficult to grasp their own fate, and this terrible feeling was something they had never experienced for a long time. When they were in the 302nd Regiment, they may have felt this way, but after the Battle of Nanchang, the strength of the Independent Regiment swelled and became stronger in vain, and in the entire Battle of Shanggao, under the command of Shishi, they were like a bamboo, and they almost did not encounter any danger and difficulties.

Unexpectedly, a few months after the end of the Battle of Shanggao, they encountered such a battle in vain, and the enemy's strength and cunning far exceeded their expectations.

"Tuanzuo, Chunhua Mountain is the only counterattack point on the north bank of the Laodao River, once Chunhua Mountain is lost, we will no longer have the strength to threaten the hinterland position of the devils, the Japanese will be able to attack Changsha boldly and boldly, blindly and passively beaten, this battle is not easy to fight, even the Xinqiang River, the Miluo River two natural dangers can not stop the advance of the devils, when relying on a Laodao River, how long can it be defended?" Wu Zihuai said with a stern expression.

"That's not right!" At this time, Shen Qingyun, the head of the Changsha Station of the Military Commander, who had always been silent, suddenly spoke.

"The surname is Shen, you also know how to fight? It's okay to make a mess here! Lin Xiufeng on the side immediately shouted at him angrily, his expression obviously clearly showed how dissatisfied the soldiers of the independent regiment were in the hearts of the soldiers of the military commander, if it weren't for the stone pressing, I am afraid that someone would really come forward and beat them up.

Shi waved his hand and said: "Monkey, don't talk nonsense, no matter what, everyone is wearing the military uniform of the party-state, and they are all fighting under the same battle flag. ”

Shen Qingyun didn't even look at Li Wenguang, he just said to the stone: "Commander Shi, don't you feel that there are many unsuitable opponents in the battles faced by the areas of Chunhua Mountain and the various units of the 74th Army?" ”

Shi frowned, and waved his hand to signal everyone to enter the room, while carefully pondering the meaning of Shen Qingyun's words. This is the first time that Shi has come into contact with the people of the military commander, although the impression left is not very good, but the stone still has some admiration for the people of the military commander. Perhaps because of their professional relationships, these people's senses are unusually keen, and often a trivial matter will have many changes in their eyes. And although he himself is very careful and serious when thinking about things, and even considers all aspects, but his keen sense of subtleties obviously cannot be compared with them.

Changing to other people who are already in the stone and now have their current status and status will obviously hide their clumsiness, and will try their best to cover up their shortcomings, so as not to affect their promotion. But Shi Shi is different, his actions are not aimed at promotion, so the purpose of doing things is relatively pure, and he is also straightforward in dealing with people. So at this time, he said: "Station Commander Shen refers to the ambush of the 57th Division Supplementary Regiment? The devil obviously knows us very well, and setting up an ambush behind his own team, which seems to be completely meaningless, is now completely aimed at our formation. ”

As he spoke, he looked up at the map, and then said in a deep voice: "This is not the key, the key problem is that the devil now has gathered at least three divisions and more troops in the forty-mile area centered on Chunhua Mountain, and the devil is completely using Chunhua Mountain as a breakthrough, and wants to forcibly open a breakthrough in our strongest place, not only to break our defense line in one fell swoop, but also to destroy our psychology in one go, so that we can't afford the will and idea to resist?" ”

Shen Qingyun couldn't help but praise: "Commander Shi really knows how to fight, and you can see the problem at a glance, but have you thought about other possibilities?" ”

Shi frowned, and the others also looked at each other, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of this military commander!

"Probably, I'm just guessing." After Shen Qingyun emphasized it again, he immediately said: "Commander Shi, have you considered this possibility, the devil on the other side of the river, the real purpose of this battle is not to seize Chunhua Mountain, not to occupy the Laodao River?" ”

Wu Zihuai couldn't help but say on the side: "Stationmaster Shen, the devil is so excited to mobilize the crowd, if it is not for Chunhua Mountain and Laodao River, do you still want to chat and drink tea with us?" ”

Shen Qingyun was indifferent to his words, just stared at the stone and asked, "Captain Shi, what do you think?" ”
