(This story is purely fictitious, please do not imitate it!)
What kind of army is this? People have doubts in their minds, but no one dares to come forward and ask. Although the Red Army was said to be very close to the people, after all, the military and civilians are different, and no one dares to make trouble if nothing happens.
"You don't know this? Let me tell you, they are also the Red Army, the same Red Army yesterday! My cousin even wore these clothes and came home to show us last night." A citizen was very proud.
He said to the people around him.
The independent detachment's brand-new military uniforms, military appearance, and military appearance are indeed like a beautiful scenery, which not only makes the people in the base area feel fresh, but also subconsciously strengthens the confidence that the independent detachment is invincible and invincible in the world. Even some so-called knowledgeable people
After seeing the brand-new military appearance of the independent detachment, people also sighed in their hearts, "This time, I may not be able to change back again!"
After intercepting the Nationalist Government's Military Commission's intelligence on the joint suppression of bandits in the three provinces, Wu Aihua ordered Fu Lin to lead the staff adjutants to conduct exercises on the sand table and propose several plans to annihilate the enemy.
When Wu Aihua, the political commissar, and the chief of staff returned to Longyan, Fu Lin immediately handed over three complete sets of plans.
The first set was the fortress defense plan. Although Wu Aihua did not want to adopt it, he still took a serious look at it. The defense was very good, but in the use of strategic maneuvering power, he was a little timid and seemed to be passively beaten.
The second plan is to engage in large-scale mobile warfare with the enemy. If necessary, abandon the base area and attack Fujian, the coast of Guangdong or Jiangxi. This plan is very bold and spiritual, but Wu Aihua also does not want to adopt it. Wu Aihua does not want to give up the base area.
; if necessary, Wu Aihua can send out the Marine Corps to directly attack Nanjing. I believe that with the foreign appearance of the Marine Corps, coupled with its own "holographic map" and special tactics, even if Chiang Kai-shek's Military Commission has a division of troops stationed
, you can also take the head of the enemy chieftain. However, Wu Aihua is not prepared to use this move.
The third plan is a more comprehensive plan. Moderately defend the base area, concentrate the strategic power of 2-3 regiments, jump out of the base area, attack the enemy all the way, and annihilate the enemy all the way, thereby disintegrating the enemy's siege offensive. However, this plan has not been implemented
The detailed design of the campaign, in other words, Fu Lin was not very optimistic about whether the independent detachment of 2-3 regiments, with a force of about 10,000 people, could annihilate the enemy in mobile warfare.
If the enemy cannot be wiped out all the way, it will be a failure of the "jump out" strategy, and the national army's encirclement and attack posture on the base area will not be resolved. Because of this, Fu Lin did not have a detailed plan.
It was quite difficult for the people in the staff office to implement the plan to this extent. After all, after the expansion of the independent detachment and the expansion of arms, there was no major war. For example, how to use the tank regiment, Fu Lin made an empirical mistake.
, he used the chariot as a movable fort to defend the city.
That is, if you want a person who has never experienced or observed something to vividly describe the nature, characteristics and functions of something, it will definitely not work. The Red Army officers and soldiers, including the Nationalist officers and soldiers at this time, who
We know the concept of "tank cluster", but who knows the concept of "blitzkrieg", and who knows the concept of "great depth" that the Soviets later developed?
However, there is also something gratifying in Fu Lin's plan, that is, "infantry and artillery coordination" has been mentioned in a more important position. However, this battle is mainly a defensive operation, and the role of infantry and artillery coordination is limited; even if it is necessary
When attacking the enemy, Wu Aihua would not use this frontal attack method.
Wu Aihua has special forces and "robot soldiers" manufactured by future technology. With these two advantages, why should Wu Aihua confront the enemy head-on?
On May 16th and 17th, the independent detachment headquarters held operational meetings. As before, this operation was divided into two parts: internal operations and external operations.
Internal operations are divided into three directions:
Longyan and Zhangping direction: Political Commissar Zhong Shoufu is in charge, assisted by Jin Xibin of the Artillery Regiment, and Feng Jianjun of the Air Defense Regiment; the strength is the Chariot Regiment, 1st Battalion of the Artillery Regiment, Light Infantry Battalion, 1st Battalion of the Air Defense Regiment, Light Infantry Battalion, 1st Battalion of the Baggage Regiment, and Engineering
There are 15 battalions in total including the Corps, the New Corps, Longyan Garrison Battalion, and Zhangping Garrison Battalion, with a total strength of 13,168 people. Among them, 4,000 of the New Corps can only be used as battlefield auxiliary personnel.
The strategic policy in this direction is to defend Longyan Zhangping instead of fighting at Longyan Zhangping. It requires that all heavy weapons of the headquarters be pushed forward to the Boping Ridge area outside the Longzhang line, and the terrain of Boping Ridge is used to block the enemy in Longyan Zhangping.
Outside!
The advantage of this direction is its strong heavy firepower, especially the 48 "T-12" assault tanks in the tank regiment, which is currently unrivaled; its weakness is its weak infantry assault force.
The direction of Yong'an Qingliu Ninghua: Chief of Staff Xia Zhongqing is in charge, assisted by Zhou Changbing of the teaching regiment, and Zhuangxi Town of the 2nd Marine Regiment; the strength is: 2nd Battalion of the Artillery Regiment, 2nd Battalion of the Air Defense Regiment, the Teaching Regiment, 2nd Marine Regiment, and Yongan Garrison Battalion.
Qingliu Garrison Battalion and Ninghua Garrison Battalion, a total of 13 battalions with a total strength of 12,518 people.
The strategic task in this direction is defense. Real defense is to go forward more than 100 kilometers to annihilate the enemy. You must ask for instructions from the commander-in-chief or political commissar. The forces of each branch in this direction are relatively balanced, with both offense and defense.
In the direction of Changting, deputy political commissar Cheng Liang is in charge, assisted by Qian Minghui of the 3rd Marine Regiment, and Zhang Binxian of the 4th Marine Regiment; the troops are: 3rd Marine Regiment, 1st Battalion of the 4th Marine Regiment, Mountain Artillery Battalion, and 3rd Battalion of the Air Defense Regiment.
The 3rd Battalion of the Artillery Regiment, the 2nd Battalion of the Baggage Regiment, Changting Garrison Battalion, and Gucheng Garrison Battalion, a total of 11 battalions with 10,914 people.
This direction is mainly to defend the enemy from attacking the base areas from the Jiangxi direction, and the key defense areas are in ancient towns.
The external combat force is led by Wu Aihua himself, with deputy chief of staff Fu Lin, and the 1st Marine Regiment Yang Guiqing assisting. The strength is the guard battalion, the special operations brigade, the Marine Corps (70 people led by Kong Wu), the 1st Marine Regiment, and the 3rd Baggage Regiment.
Battalion. Total strength is 6972.
In order to ensure a surprise victory at the critical moment, Wu Aihua left 10 Marines in each internal combat direction, each led by an A-level soldier. If necessary, Wu Aihua could order them to directly capture the enemy headquarters and capture the enemy commander alive.
.These "robot soldiers" hold a squad machine gun and have 1,000 rounds of ammunition hanging on their bodies. They are capable of climbing mountains and wading in water.
This arrangement made full use of the enemy's inconsistent progress among the three armies of the "Joint Encirclement and Suppression" campaign, as well as the tactical proposition of "you fight yours, and I'll fight mine" that Wu Aihua has always advocated. Since he knew that war was inevitable, he chose to take the initiative and take the lead.
Taking action may not be a bad idea!
In this battle, which is a matter of life and death for the base area, all the independent detachments can be said to have been mobilized. There is not even a strategic reserve left. If there is one, it is the Liancheng Garrison Battalion. Liancheng County is located in the above-mentioned counties.
In the middle, the enemy could not attack there at all. For this reason, Shen Suping, the commander of Liancheng's garrison battalion, had a strong opinion and said that he could not go to the battlefield because the commander looked down on him. Wu Aihua had no choice. It was impossible for Liancheng not to leave troops, so,
Shen Suping was given a task: to be ready to pick up prisoners from various combat directions at any time and train them into qualified Red Army soldiers.
"Commander, now we have strong troops. Will the external combat troops you lead this time be too few?" When the political commissar saw the combat tasks assigned, he felt that the commander was good at everything, but he was too adventurous. With less than 7,000 troops,
It is equivalent to one enemy brigade, but the number of enemies along any route is at least 10 brigades.
"Haha, I think there are too many people. How about I leave half of the people in group 1 for you?" Wu Aihua said with a smile.
"Hey, let's forget it. Commander, you must be careful when going out." The political commissar said with concern.
"Don't worry, political commissar. By the time I achieve a great victory, your enemies may not have come up yet." Intelligence showed that the three armies of the National Army did not advance in tandem. By May 15, 5 Guangdong troops on the south route
Six of the 10 brigades in each division have reached their designated positions. Chen Jitang, deputy commander-in-chief of the three-provincial joint bandit suppression headquarters and commander of the South Route Army, also appeared on the streets of Meizhou in high spirits on the 16th.
As for He Jian's West Route Army, only the vanguard of one division has arrived in Ganzhou. It is estimated that it will take at least half a month for them all to reach the designated area.
As for the Eastern Route Army, which is basically composed entirely of the Central Army, although it has reached two divisions, it is still far from the time to start the war.
Come quickly, die quickly! The South Route Army is so close, and it involves the security of the base area, Wu Aihua decided to use the South Route Army to sacrifice the flag!
This time, Wu Aihua still chose to start his expedition at night. At 7 pm on May 17, Wu Aihua led 6,972 external troops, starting from Xiaochi Town on the outskirts of Longyan and heading to Yongding on the Fujian-Guangdong border along the ancient post road. Yongding is 100 meters away from Chen Jitang South Road
The straight-line distance between the residence of the military headquarters is only 100 kilometers. Taking into account the road level of this era, and the fact that it is nocturnal and daytime, Wu Aihua plans to arrive in 5 days for the entire 180-kilometer journey (mainly due to the marching speed of 18 75mm mountain guns)
too slow).
At this time, Chen Jitang was still accompanied by Meizhou gentry and local officials, leisurely exploring the mountains and rivers of Meizhou (then Meixian), completely unaware that danger had come!
Chen Jitang, courtesy name Bonan. A native of Dongxing Malu Town, Fangcheng, Guangdong (now Fangchenggang, Guangxi), Han Hakka, Chen Jitang was born on February 12, 1890. In 1907, Chen was admitted to Guangzhou Army Primary School and secretly joined the Tongmenghui. After the Revolution of 1911
, and entered the Guangdong Army crash school. He later served as an officer in the Guangdong Army, rising from platoon leader to regimental commander. During the War to Protect the Law and the War against Chen Jiongming, Chen followed Mr. Sun Yat-sen and served as the commander of the 2nd Brigade of the Li Jishen Department of the Guangdong Army. In 1925, the National Government was established.
Chen Jitang served as Li Jishen's subordinate, the division commander of the 11th Division of the 4th Army of the National Revolutionary Army and the commander of Qin (prefecture) Lian (prefecture) security.
When Chen Jitang was in charge of Guangdong (1929-1936), he made great achievements in the development of Guangdong. He successively built various factories, port roads, universities, middle schools and primary schools. Guangzhou's industries are prosperous and its municipal construction achievements are remarkable, such as Haizhu Bridge, Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, Sun Yat-sen University Wushan New Campus, Aiqun Building, etc., as well as more than 30 roads, were all built when Chen Jitang was in charge of Guangdong. It was called the "golden age" of old Guangzhou.
