771, the sound of the east strikes the west
It seems to have been manipulated invisibly, and the national forces around the New Fourth Army seem to be disengaged.
Their actions are intriguing. One by one, they all let go of the Japanese invaders on the front. Let the Japanese invaders come over.
Among them, the closest to Chao County is the Japanese Kou in Chuzhou.
Originally, on this side, there was a 44th Army of the National Army guarding it. But now, this 44th Army has withdrawn in the direction of Anqing.
And it was very tacit that the Japanese did not pursue. Instead, he killed Chao County.
Obviously, this was deliberate by the Japanese invaders.
Their purpose was the New Fourth Army. They were going to besiege the New Fourth Army.
"Can the Japanese invaders in Anqing escape?"
"No, it won't."
Zhang Chu said slowly.
He believed that Wang Yaowu, Li Yutang and others would not be so frustrated.
The survival of the nation and the danger of the country are all in their hearts. It's okay to postpone the attack. Pausing the attack is also fine. But it is absolutely impossible to deliberately let the Japanese invaders escape.
That's the sinner of the nation! A sinner of the nation!
Even if there was Lao Jiang's order, they would refuse to carry it out. In this regard, Zhang Chu is very confident.
"That's good!"
Commander Chen was relieved.
What he is most worried about is the Japanese from behind.
If the remnants of the Japanese invaders are killed together, they will attack Chaoxian from behind. The consequences are unimaginable.
But if there is no threat from behind, he is not afraid.
Even if a Japanese division came from Chuzhou, there was nothing to be afraid of. No more division will turn the sky upside down.
"Report!"
A communications staff officer arrived.
Give Commander Chen a secret message again. The secret level is also destroyed after reading.
Obviously, this is a very important indication. But it must not be passed on.
Commander Chen finished reading. The expression is serious.
Zhang Chu turned his head.
"Okamura Ninji is dispatched."
"Purpose?"
"Siege of Springs."
"With whom?"
"Shunroku Hatata."
"Him?"
"Toshiroku Hata is still commanding four Japanese divisions, and continues to attack Xuzhou north."
"What about the Fifth War Zone?"
"An order has been received to move to the Central Plains. Xuzhou may be abandoned. β
"Give up?"
Zhang Chu Huoran stood up.
Grass!
I want to scold my mother!
Give up Xuzhou! Is this something that people can do?
Xuzhou is the hub of the Central Plains! It's strategic! How can you give up? Even if the Japanese invade fiercely, it is absolutely impossible to give up!
Who gave the order?
So shameless?
"The 5th theater of operations did not agree. But it's hard to say later. β
"Wang Jiudan!"
Zhang Chu scolded his mother stupidly.
Some people are just small. Completely disregarding the general interests of the nation.
Give up Xuzhou, that is to be scolded by the people of the whole country! It's going to be poked in the back! How could Lao Jiang be so frustrated?
However, thinking of the lack of embankment at the mouth of the garden, it creates a thousand miles of yellow floodplains......
There is no bottom line!
"Report!"
Suddenly, another staff officer arrived.
Zhang Chu wants to go to the front line. I don't want to continue to hear about the intrigue of the top brass of the national army.
It's too dark.
Completely unacceptable.
"Report, the Dian army is coming closer to us."
"Dian Army?"
"That's right! It is the Fan Tianxi Department of the Yunnan Army. β
"Okay!"
Zhang Chu was immediately overjoyed.
Dog day! Finally, I heard good news.
Fan Tianxi is here!
He is not Lao Jiang's descendant! You can not listen to Lao Jiang!
Lao Jiang wanted to borrow a knife to kill people, but Fan Tianxi wouldn't. Because the Dian army and the red faction, in a sense, are all in the same fate.
Red is the thorn in Lao Jiang's eye and a thorn in his flesh. What about the Dian army?
In fact, as soon as the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was won, Lao Chiang couldn't wait to take action against the Yunnan army. The head of the Dian army was also detained. The Dian army was also absorbed.
This matter seems to be Du Yuming's own hand. Lao Du too, hehe.
Very obedient Lao Du!
In the end, it was consummated in Gongdelin.
Satirize......
"I'm going to pick up the Dian army!"
Zhang Chuxing rushed outside.
Commander Chen also came out.
The arrival of the Dian army is indeed good news.
This means that the New Fourth Army, which is fighting alone in Chao County, has a reliable ally.
Soon, Zhang Chu saw the troops of the Dian army.
"Adjutant Zhang!"
"Brigadier Fan!"
Zhang Chuli saluted.
Although Fan Tianxi is a brigade commander, he has the rank of lieutenant general.
Flattering. The military ranks of this period were very chaotic. Lieutenant generals are everywhere. Major generals are as many as dogs. In the later period, even the regiment commander had a lieutenant general.
"Adjutant Zhang, I didn't expect you to be here."
"Huh. It shows that we are destined. β
"Please!"
"Please!"
Zhang Chu entered the ranks of the Yunnan army.
See a lot of familiar faces. OK. Most of the people I met before are still alive.
Sadly, he didn't know the names of these people. In the Battle of Jinling before, he did not have much contact with the Dian army. Except for Fan Tianxi, he had no contact with anyone else.
The most impressive thing is the 13.2 mm caliber Hatch Kaisi heavy machine gun equipped by the Yunnan army. It's quite terrifying.
"Where did you come from?"
"Huainan."
"Passed through Fei County?"
"Yes!"
"Isn't there a Japanese invader in Fei County?"
"It's all transferred to Chao County."
"Oh......"
Zhang Chu was thoughtful.
It seems that in the area of Feixian County, the Japanese army is empty!
There was no national army stationed there.
It just so happened that the local armed forces of the New Fourth Army could be deployed here.
In the future, all the troops around Chaohu Lake will be troops of the New Fourth Army. Lao Jiang's intrigues and tricks will eventually go bankrupt.
"Sechin!"
"Zosper!"
"Navy Blue!"
Fan Tianxi introduced three battalion commanders to Zhang Chu.
Almost all national armies like to form a few battalion-level combat units that are particularly capable of fighting.
When necessary, these assault battalions are the embodiment of their full combat effectiveness. Just like the guard battalion of the 25th Division. The difference is that under Fan Tianxi's command, there are three assault battalions.
Yu Chengwan's 57th Division also had several assault battalions. They are the toughest warriors. Take on the most dangerous missions.
Zhang Chu likes to deal with them very much. This is the real warrior.
The higher the rank, the more bureaucratic it is. Very few actually go into battle.
seems to be like Yu Chengwan, although he has always worn a steel helmet and carried a submachine gun, fighting at any time. But there are not many opportunities to actually go to war.
After all, there are thousands of people under his command. Say anything, it's not the division commander's turn to charge personally!
After all, there are a few people like Huang Botao.
Alas, Huang Botao......
Still reflecting in prison?
Suddenly, my eyes flashed and I saw a group of strange people.
No military uniforms were worn. All over the body, it was dark blue. Neither did the steel helmet. All wrapped in turbans.
"They are ......"
"They call themselves blue wearers."
"Dressed in blue?"
Zhang Chu thought for a moment. An allusion comes to mind.
It seems that it also became an independent nation later. But not among the fifty-six nations. There are also not many people.
Unexpectedly, they actually appeared in the Dian army.
This Yunnan army is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, with all kinds of flowers and seas. There are all kinds of people.
It's not easy to bring so many people together.
"It's all good!"
Zhang Chu nodded. Said sincerely.
As long as you have the courage to kill devils and actively kill devils, you are all heroes.
He will do everything in his power to help.
Ask for weapons for weapons.
Ask for ammunition for ammunition.
Even if you need the ocean, you can support some of them.
In other words, as long as you kill one Japanese criminal, there are at least a hundred oceans. I seem to be really wealthy now. I'm even a little worried about whether the system data will overflow......
"Adjutant Zhang, come!"
"Look!"
Fan Tianxi brought Zhang Chu to the map.
There is a large map hanging on the wall. It doesn't feel like we painted it ourselves. Later, when I looked closely, it turned out that the Japanese were captured.
In other words, the map drawn by the Japanese invaders is more detailed than the one we drew ourselves.
Whether it is the Eighth Route Army or the New Fourth Army, after capturing the Japanese map, it will directly replace the original old map.
"Podi Village!"
"I'm going to rush in from here."
Fan Tianxi said.
Zhang Chu pondered the map carefully.
This Podi village is at the junction of the 15th and 11th Divisions of the Japanese Army.
It stands to reason that the defense of the junction will be relatively weak. Inserting it from here can indeed sever the connection between the two divisions of the Japanese invaders.
The question is......
This is a Japanese coward!
It's not that easy to divide.
The Japanese were very tenacious in their fighting. Especially defensive operations. Fight to the death. It is not easy to open up the situation in a short period of time.
Once the Japanese invaders reacted, they immediately mobilized reinforcements, and there was a danger of being counter-surrounded.
With the ferocity of the Japanese invaders, the battle damage ratio was at least one to one.
"Actually, inserting into the junction is just a faΓ§ade. It was used to confuse the Japanese invaders. β
"The real killer trick lies in Tang Village."
Fan Tianxi changed his words.
He told Zhang Chu about his plan.
In Tang Village, there is a brigade of Japanese invaders. But it is not exposed at the moment.
Fan Tianxi wanted to attack the east and west, and forced the Japanese to mobilize their forces by attacking the Japanese army's division and regimental junction, so as not to take care of Tangcun.
Then, the main force of the Yunnan army was mobilized to besiege Tangcun with lightning speed.
The goal is simple. It is to eat a brigade of Japanese invaders.
The full strength of a Japanese brigade should be about 1,000 people. If it is not satisfied, it is six or seven hundred.
The Dian army can be used to besiege Tangcun, with more than 5,000 people. The ratio of forces is very impressive. It can be described as killing chickens with a knife. Even if the Japanese invaders are stubbornly resisting. It can also end the battle in five hours.
Don't be greedy.
Eliminate one brigade at a time.
Accumulate a lot, gather sand into a tower, and slowly the Japanese will find that they can't stand it.
"I'm for it!"
Of course, Zhang Chu is fully supportive.
This piecemeal approach is actually very suitable for the national army.
In other words, it is suitable for troops who have not received too regular training. Because the execution is not good, the organization is not good, and the larger the scale of the campaign, the easier it is to make mistakes.
In fact, every time the national army organizes a large-scale battle, it is difficult to explain it.
It's basically anticlimactic. At the beginning, I was full of confidence, and then I was defeated.
Is it that Yu Chengwan is not brave enough?
Is it Huang Botao, they didn't do their best?
Neither.
It's really poor internal execution.
Programs are often rosy. But in the end, when it comes to execution, it's completely different.
Seriously, it's not as good as a few battalions.
If Yu Chengwan is allowed to fight independently with the 57th Division, he may be able to fight more easily.
The Battle of Changde is a sufficient proof of this.
On the contrary, before that, the unprecedented scale of the Wuhan battle was fought in a mess.
"Let's go!"
"Let's go!"
Get moving.
Replenishment of weapons and ammunition.
Especially the super-powerful 13.2mm Hatch Chase machine guns, which were almost running out of ammunition.
This kind of ammunition of special caliber, that is, Zhang Chu can get it.
If you don't say it, you can get five million rounds directly.
In addition, the number of mortars has increased dramatically. At least nine more guns were added to each battalion.
At the same time, Zhang Chu also equipped each assault battalion with a part of the 107-mm rocket launchers. This thing, when it needs to be covered by heavy firepower, is definitely a big killer.
"What is this?" Fan Tianxi was also quite curious.
"107 rocket artillery. Twelve shells in one salvo. Zhang Chu replied simply, "It is equivalent to an artillery battalion." β
"I'm afraid I'll need you to go with me." Fan Tianxi saw the problem at a glance.
The firepower is indeed very ferocious. Ammunition consumption is also fierce.
12 shells in one salvo. How many salvos can you hit?
It doesn't seem to be light on the weight of its shells either. A person can carry a maximum of two shots. Or three shots. How much can a battalion carry?
No ammunition, just furnishings.
"No problem." Zhang Chu said that he liked to play against the Japanese invaders the most.
When you're in a bad mood, it's the coolest to kill the Japanese criminals.
Encircling and annihilating a Japanese brigade does not require his participation. He was involved in the insertion of the Japanese Junction.
The elite troops of the Dian army had nothing to do with him. He led the general army.
Although they are also Yi people. But there are also graders. Certainly not as fierce as those in the assault battalion.
"Command."
"Good!"
Zhang Chu was the one to do it.
Commanding the strength of a regiment, he is still fully competent.
Actually, there is no trick. Just give them the most elite weapons, the most ample ammunition, and then fight to the death.
How ruthless it is.
The more painful the Japanese attack, the better.
"Brigadier Fan!"
"Commander Chen!"
As he spoke, Commander Chen came up.
The two bigwigs quickly exchanged views. Of course, Commander Chen expressed his full cooperation.
It is a great thing that the Dian army stabbed the Japanese in the asshole in the back.
Not only can it reduce the pressure on the frontal New Fourth Army, but it may even encircle the Japanese invaders.
Suffering from front and back attacks, the Japanese will definitely not feel good.
"Let's go!"
Soon, the battle began.
Zhang Chu took the lead with a part of the Dian army.
The total strength is one regiment. But from several units. There were about two thousand four hundred people.
Assisting in leading the team was Fan Tianxi's deputy chief of staff.
The main reason is that I am worried that some people may not listen to Zhang Chu's command.
Actually, it's overthinking.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Rocket artillery directly violently covered.
Dense rockets fell, and the Japanese in front of them were suddenly blown up.
"Yaga!"
"What's going on?"
"What's going on?"
A Japanese servant Shaozo was very surprised.
Such ferocious artillery fire. Or from behind their own side!
What's the matter?
What is the enemy going to do?
Hurriedly raised the binoculars and took a closer look.
Outcome......
"Boom, boom, boom......"
"Boom, boom, boom......"
More shells fell.
It just happened to cover this Japanese Shaozuo.
Nikko Shaozuo: ! @#οΏ₯%β¦β¦
It was blown up on the spot.
But did not die. Consciousness is still awake.
Lying on the ground, unable to move. I can only listen to the overwhelming sound of explosions.
"Yaga ......"
"Is it the Chinese counterattack?"
"Yaga ......"
"Are we surrounded?"
"Yaga ......"
The Japanese Kou Shaozuo couldn't help but think wildly.
He was surrounded by Japanese soldiers jumping and moving, trying to dodge the incoming shells. It turned out to be useless at all.
Dirt kept falling on the body of the Japanese Shozo.
Soon, his body was buried and could not be seen.
"Ah......h
Suddenly, there was a scream.
It turned out that the corpse of a Japanese soldier had fallen on him.
Strictly speaking, not a single one. It is a half-body. It is the upper body that was blown away. The lower half of the body is gone.
In a daze, I saw a group of enemies rushing up from behind.
But no one noticed him.
"Ah......h
"Yaga ......"
The Japanese Kou Shaozuo finally swallowed his breath.
