Chapter 187: The Perfect Plan
"Brother Liao? Which girl are you thinking? Fang Jingyao was very puzzled, why did he get distracted as he spoke.
Liao Mingyu, who suddenly reacted, grabbed Fang Jingyao's hand and said excitedly:
"Brother Fang, don't go, just stay in our Sichuan Army, in addition to the position of regiment commander, how about the chief of staff? You don't have to worry about the identity file, I'll arrange it for you. ”
"Uh..." Fang Jingyao was a little embarrassed by him, but after a while, he still smiled and said freely: "That's what I mean, but I'll be dismissed, I can just act as a staff member, and nothing else matters." ”
Fang Jingyao also thought clearly during the period of recuperation, now that the Nanyang Self-Rescue Army has been driven into the mountains by the Japanese, it is impossible to make much movement in a short time.
Instead of going back to Siam and taking them to fight guerrillas in the forest, it is better to help Liao Mingyu solve the situation in western Yunnan first.
Moreover, the location of the Self-Salvation Army is in the northwest of Siam, and if the Sichuan Army can reach Burma, it will be able to echo with the North and South of the Self-Rescue Army at that time, which is also a way to open up the current predicament.
"In this way, you will be the staff officer of the regiment headquarters first, and then make adjustments later."
Liao Mingyu thought about it, and he couldn't give him too high a position as soon as he came, otherwise there would be a gap in the hearts of those old brothers.
Anyway, the emperor is far away, and he can't control it, so it's still easy to arrange a small staff officer.
"It's all up to Brother Liao's arrangement." Fang Jingyao said with a smile.
Subsequently, the two began to discuss around the sand table, and Liao Mingyu told Fang Jingyao about the counteroffensive plan and follow-up arrangements, and he also wanted to see what different strategies the latter had.
"That's the situation, Brother Fang, what insights do you have?" Liao Mingyu asked.
"Now the situation of the enemy and us is obvious, the Japanese army is on the defensive and is not in a hurry, but our army is in a hurry to attack. Well... I don't think the Japanese army cares if they can hold the South Heavenly Gate. ”
"Oh? How so? ”
Fang Jingyao rubbed the beard on his chin and analyzed seriously: "They are taking advantage of our eagerness, as long as we throw tens of thousands of corpses at Nantianmen, then his goal will be achieved." ”
"Well, but we had to drill in, and it was like an invulnerable conspiracy that could only meet him head-on." Liao Mingyu nodded in response.
"Hehe, in fact, there are a lot of opportunities for our army now, and the three-sided flowering you just said is to hit his seven inches, but some adjustments can be made in the details."
Fang Jingyao walked to the back of the Nantian Gate on the sand table, pointed at the anticline with a stick, and said:
"Brother Liao, according to your plan, it is to send a small group of elite troops, use the Japanese's own tunnels to infiltrate into the hilltop tree fort, wait for the success of the plan, and immediately let a battalion launch a strong attack to attract firepower, and take advantage of the divergence of the Japanese army's attention to use two battalions to surprise from the anti-slope plane, and attack the Nantianmen in one fell swoop."
Liao Mingyu nodded and waited for his next step.
"The whole plan is still perfect, and the chances of capturing Nantianmen are very high, but the three lines of defense on the front are always a hurdle that cannot be bypassed."
"The strength of the Japanese army is about 6,000, and 3,000 people in a defensive position like this can already be called an impregnable wall, and the battalion attacking head-on is afraid... Will shine. Fang Jingyao pointed to the front line of defense of Nantianmen and said.
"That's why I will arrange a battalion to storm and add a tree fort on the top of the hill to attract the firepower of the Japanese army to the greatest extent, and finally the surprise attack on the anti-slope is the decisive blow."
"And... Our friendly forces are not united, and it is very likely that when we attack Nantianmen, it will become a one-man show of the Sichuan Army. Liao Mingyu explained helplessly.
Now the defensive strength of the Japanese army is more than twice as strong as in the original time and space, if it were not for this, how could Liao Mingyu sacrifice a battalion in exchange for the victory of the entire battle.
Don't count on Master Yu next door, I can't give you an attack a second before the attack. Yu Xiaoqing wouldn't do this kind of thing, but Tang Ji definitely could do it.
In the original time and space, Yu Xiaoqing's last command was overturned by this old boy, and the funny thing is that when he wanted to attack forcibly at all costs, he actually found that he couldn't command his own troops.
Tang Ji dismantled Yu Xiaoqing's attack plan that had been planned for a year or two, although in the end Yu Xiaoqing regained command despite his father's prevention, he missed the best time to attack, and he was already willing to kill the enemy and had no power to return to the sky.
It was now the end of '42, and it was impossible for him to wait until '44 to capture Nantianmen with those "well-prepared" friendly forces. So you can't count on others for many things, only on your own.
Liao Mingyu sighed, such a plan can indeed attack the South Heavenly Gate, but the battle losses of the entire Sichuan Army will be huge, including those who attack on the anticline.
"Actually, we might as well think differently, why should we be in a hurry with them?"
Fang Jingyao suddenly said this, only to see him point to the defense line along the river and continue: "The tree fort on the top of the mountain fired the first shot, and the frontal attacking troops only needed to occupy a position of the Japanese army. ”
"In the first defensive position, we use the ready-made trench passages to fight with the Japanese army, and we are not in a hurry to attack, and we use the flamethrower you just mentioned to clean those passages one by one, and at the same time use the advantage of artillery fire to prevent the Japanese counterattack."
"If there are two battalions of the Sichuan Army that occupy the first defensive position of the Japanese army, I think Brother Liao, you must be sure to hold it."
Liao Mingyu was thoughtful, he seemed to have grasped some key point, but he still didn't fully understand the meaning.
Fang Jingyao continued to point to the sand table and said: "At that time, those who are anxious will become the Japanese, and the top of the mountain and the first defense position will become their flesh thorns." Especially the tree fort on the top of the mountain, the Japanese army will definitely try to recapture it at all costs. ”
Turn offense to defense! Liao Mingyu's eyes lit up, and he finally understood what Fang Jingyao meant.
His plan was to be fast, to destroy the enemy's resistance like lightning on three sides at the fastest speed, but the cost of doing so was also considerable, and it was conservatively estimated that after capturing Nantianmen, the Sichuan army would suffer more than two-thirds of the casualties.
After all, there were less than 6,000 people in the whole regiment, and it was not easy for the Japanese army, which attacked the same number but had a perfect defensive system, to achieve such a record.
But if you change the angle and let the Japanese attack and occupy their positions and fight a defensive battle with them, then the result will be different, and the losses of the side will be minimized, and it is estimated that Takeuchi will be mad with anger.
If they did not attack the first defensive position along the river, then they could completely use their weapon superiority to destroy the Japanese tunnels one by one. Flamethrowers, bazookas, and white phosphorus bombs were enough for them to drink a pot.
If they counterattack a defensive position, they must be prepared to face the terrifying firepower of the Sichuan Army.
Even if it is to attack the tree fort on the top of the mountain, your own artillery can be in place at the first time. In the face of the hedgehog-like tree fort, they will taste the fruits of what they have planted.
"One day, the tree fort and the first defense only need to be defended for one day, and this day is enough for us to kill and wound a considerable number of Japanese, but only if our artillery can suppress the enemy at all times."
"The next day, when they were still struggling with these two meat thorns, they launched a surprise attack on the anticline, as long as they successfully joined forces with the commandos of Tree Fort, we would win the entire battle of Nantianmen!"
Fang Jingyao confidently put away the instructor, this is a way to maximize his own advantages and reduce losses.
He even thought in his heart that if there were poisonous gas bombs or bacteriological bombs, there would be no need to attack them at all, as long as they occupied a defense and an anti-slope plane and besieged them at Nantianmen, disease and hunger would eventually lead the Japanese to hell.
