Chapter 251: Assault
In a tent in the Dashiqiao stronghold, Zou Heming was arguing fiercely with Diana. The reason for the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info incident was that the Japanese army drove a large number of civilians to the vicinity of the Dashiqiao stronghold. It's early spring, the old saying of the green and yellow season, and these civilians who have been plundered by the footpot soldiers will only die if they don't get help from the crossers.
Of course, the two military commanders of Dashiqiao did not quarrel over whether or not to receive these civilians, but because they disagreed over whether or not to send a guerrilla squad to carry out a broken battle against the Japanese army. Since the Japanese wanted to fight the idea of the big stone bridge in terms of supplies, Zou Heming also wanted to give him a hand back.
In one fell swoop, the Crossing Crowd defeated the Japanese Second Army in Lushun and forced Oyama Rock to surrender, and Nogi Noshinori's sneak attack on the green paint area was also crushed, and the Japanese army failed to recover the corpse of Nogi Noshinori, who was the mastermind of this operation. Diana believed that the crossing had already taken the absolute initiative militarily, and that as long as she put diplomatic pressure on the British to mediate, the Japanese would inevitably sue for peace and continue to complete the war against the Manchus, and there was no need to risk any more wars at this time.
But Zou Heming insisted that the so-called military initiative was all about the Liaodong Peninsula. This military conflict between the people and the foot basin chicken was completely caused by some high-level Japanese leaders who were not good at their brains, and if their brains continued to be bad, the grain stored in Oshibashi Bridge would not last long at all. We cannot hope that the troublemakers will suddenly return to normal, thus returning the parties to a ceasefire.
"Send guerrillas to attack the supply lines of the Japanese army and slow them down from attacking us. If you're lucky, you'll be able to get some supplies back to the Big Stone Bridge stronghold. We cannot pin our hopes on the mediation of the British. Zou Heming said.
"Our task is to be embedded here like a nail, and the problem of supply is something that the superiors should consider. Whether it's airlifted, or a surprise attack by armored troops, supplies will arrive. What we need to do is plan for the current daily supply of food, and not scatter the limited forces, which will not be conducive to our defense. Diana said.
As a soldier brought out by the 76th Airborne Division of Maozi's ace guards, Diana also adheres to the creed that paratroopers are born to be surrounded. She advocated using all her forces to hold the stronghold of Dashiqiao until the moment when the strategic objectives of the Provisional Executive Committee were achieved.
Zou Heming had been working in the mall for several years before crossing over, and his brain was much more flexible. The meaning of the existence of the Dashiqiao stronghold is to block the footbasin chicken and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, if we can't bear it, we will retreat, and when we have enough troops and ammunition, we will push it over. Besides, although the defense line organized by the Jin Shi family on the front line of the Liaohe River collapsed, the Qing army still had a lot of troops scattered throughout the Liaohe Plain, and Fengtian was still in the hands of the Manchus. He still had a large number of combat-capable bannermen under his command, and the First Army of the Japanese Army did not dare to let go of its hands to besiege the stronghold of Dashiqiao.
In fact, in the history of the original time and space, until the official signing of the "Treaty of Shimonoseki" in Chunfanlouli, the Qing army and the Japanese army were still engaged in melee battles in the Liaohe Plain. The Japanese army never really had full control of the Liaohe Plain during the Sino-Japanese War. In this kind of melee situation, it is very promising to send those former bandits and former Qing troops in Dashiqiao to fish in troubled waters.
"Captain, why did this foreign woman quarrel with Chief Zou? The rules of the Great Song Dynasty are also strange, women can be officials, and they are still military attachés, tsk. An indigenous soldier said to Zhang Zuolin.
"What a tongue to chew! Is that noisy? If there is no culture, it is called discussion! Have you watched the play, do you know Mu Guiying? Do you know the female general of the Yang Gate? The female general of the Great Song Dynasty has a fart! Zhang Zuolin scolded.
"Captain, then do you say that Chief Zou is right, or is what Chief Di said right?" The soldier continued.
"I know a ball, let's do whatever we want. If you want me to say that both of them are good, what about letting those Japanese dwarves surround us, the artillery is not as far as us, and there is not even a machine gun, and they want to surround us? The joke is not funny at all. When the time comes, we will find a place with few people to rush and grab a handful, and all the grains and horses will be able to last for a few days. When the army of Thirty Mile Fort comes, they will still surround the ball? This helicopter is not easy to transport food, and the bullets and shells it brings can beat the Japanese so that they can't find the north. Zhang Zuolin said.
"What Chief Zou said is right, what we have here is a green forest that all the locks come to cast, and if you scatter it outside, it will be a shadowless thing if this widow wants to catch people. Just play the set of ringing horses in the past, touch a handful and leave, if you scatter a dozen or so centaurs, it will be enough for this widow to drink a pot. After a long delay, it will be the point where the army will go north to relieve the siege. Zhang Zuolin took a sip of hot tea and continued.
Just like Zhang Zuolin's analysis, the Interim Executive Committee also felt that Zou Heming and Diana were reasonable, and kicked the ball back to them, so that the military chief of Dashiqiao could adapt according to the actual situation. However, Zhao Yi told the traversal to kill Nogi Noshinori, capture the army general Dashan Yan, and let the Dashiqiao stronghold be prepared to prevent the foot basin chicken and dog from jumping over the wall.
After being circumvented by Zou Heming with Sun Tzu's Art of War for most of the day, even the stubborn Diana could only compromise. Oshibashi Jundian began to send one-man and two-horse "guerrillas" to the surrounding areas, looking for opportunities to attack the Japanese supply team in the vast white mountains and black waters of northeastern China.
At this time, Yama Prefecture Youpeng had already learned that Nogi Noshinori's sneak attack on Thirty Mile Fort failed and he died, and he got the news that even his body had fallen into the hands of the enemy. The Japanese merchant ship escorted by the "Yoshino" was about to flee back to the Japanese landing site at the garden entrance with the abandoned ship Heyuan, which also indicated that his planned plan for the navy to support Dashan Rock to hold Lushun would also be stillborn.
Yama Prefecture Youpeng knew that he first secretly released water for Maozi behind his back to gather troops in the northeast of China near the border with North Korea, and then came up with this so-called plan to force the Great Song Dynasty to revise the secret agreement, which had greatly annoyed the so-called compromise faction led by Ito Hirobumi. If things really develop according to his vision, and finally cause Da Song to revise the previous agreement, even if it is to modify even a small clause of it, then his career will still have room for maneuver, otherwise he will become the first army general to retire without honor in this war.
In order to achieve the purpose of coercing the Great Song Dynasty to revise the agreement, Shan Shan Youpeng gathered all the troops he could draw on the front line near the Dashiqiao, and prepared to launch a desperate attack. However, before the offensive began, trouble continued to arise, and the supply lines from the port near Dandong to this side were constantly being disturbed by people.
At first, Youpeng in Shan County thought that he was making trouble with the remnants of the Qing army and the bandits nearby, but as a result, the losses of the Japanese supply convoy were getting bigger and bigger, and he had to pay attention to this problem. After carefully studying the reports of the attacked supply convoys, he found that the attacks were organized and premeditated, and they were very efficient, often by the time the Japanese reinforcements arrived, the attackers had long since disappeared.
Youpeng had to withdraw his troops to protect the convoy, which greatly increased the loss of supplies during the transportation process, and seriously slowed down the progress of his preparations to attack the stronghold of Dashiqiao.
Hmph, cunning Great Song people, I drove the civilians to the Great Stone Bridge to consume their food supplies, and they returned to give me a move to attack the supply line. It seems that they want to drag it out, the war on Lushun's side must be beneficial to them, I can't delay it any longer, even if the supplies are not sufficient, I have to give it a go, Youpeng in Shanxian thought to himself.
