The Japanese army concentrated the forces of three divisions to move north this time, which must be to coordinate the North China Front's attack on Xuzhou and delay the forces in Jiangbei so that they could not support it.
Zhou Weiguo knew this matter, and everyone present knew it.
Commander Yu saw several people lowering their heads and said nothing. He went directly to the map and took a command pole made of small green bamboo from the adjutant and tapped the map; "The 13th Division has assembled in the direction of Pukou. One of his regiments,
While advancing east of Chuzhou, the Japanese 3rd and 9th Divisions are also starting from the direction of Yangzhou. The 13th Division is probably planning to connect these two divisions, concentrate its forces, capture Chuzhou, and head to Fengyang
direction to advance.”
It's not possible, but that's what they planned. Zhou Weiguo didn't speak. He had to listen to the two division commanders first.
These two people are the ones who really want to go head-to-head with each other. As for themselves, they are directly under the jurisdiction of the military headquarters. It is not up to the commander of the army to decide where to fight. Maybe, they will be in the reserve team by then, and they will be transferred wherever the difficulties arise.
If you really want to fight this group of people, you haven't spoken yet. It's not appropriate for you to speak on your own.
Commander Feng and Commander Wang were both strong men. They had fought all the way, and they had a certain understanding of the Japanese attack methods.
The Japanese army had superior firepower and aviation reinforcements, so they advanced very quickly.
Although there are 31st Army, 74th Army and some Sichuan Army and Guangxi Army here, and their numbers are higher than the opponent's, the problem is that the weapons and equipment are not as good as the opponent's. It is useless to have an advantage in numbers.
In a word, Chuzhou might not be able to be defended, so the only thing we can do is to moderate the opponent's attack and delay it for a while, thereby buying some time for the troops behind.
It really can't be blocked, otherwise the armies behind it wouldn't start building defensive positions.
This shows that the higher-ups knew they could not stop it, but they just hoped to delay the Japanese attack here to buy time for those behind them.
The two teachers and commanders already gave a rough outline of how to deal with it.
The echelon blockade divided the 74th Army into numerous sections for blockade, making the Japanese army's progress slow.
"The two division commanders are so smart. If you do this, the Japanese army will be in agony every time they take a step." After Zhou Weiguo finished speaking, the two of them immediately began to flatter each other.
Commander Yu looked at Zhou Weiguo and stretched out his hand: "What about you, tell me what you have in mind. I really didn't ask you to come here just to flatter others."
Zhou Weiguo's smiling face suddenly dropped. He looked around and saw three people looking at him, which made it clear that they wanted him to speak.
Ahem...
After coughing slightly twice, Zhou Weiguo took out his pocket. He wanted to smoke, but there was no cigarette in his pocket. His cigarette seemed to have been left at the regiment headquarters.
"Smoke it, smoke it and say it quickly. If you can't make two farts, you will know the consequences." Commander Yu threw the cigarette over.
Grateful, Zhou Weiguo took a puff of pleasure and glanced at the military map hanging on the wall: "If the gun shoots the first bird, we will hit whoever takes the lead."
Whoever takes the lead will be attacked. If it is the one who takes the lead, it is the current regiment of the 13th Division. They have advanced a long distance.
"What the hell are you doing? Although the 13th Division has entered Pukou and one of its regiments has advanced a certain distance, they are not pushing forward anymore. Even if we want to attack them, we won't come up. How can we attack them?
." Teacher Wang crossed his arms and interrupted Zhou Weiguo.
Zhou Weiguo blinked; "If he doesn't come to fight us, we'll fight him. The Japanese army is just like women, they can't stand flirting, let alone a division. As long as he gets angry, he will be beaten to death."
Let him suffer a little, which will be beneficial to us in dealing with the Japanese troops coming from Yangzhou in the future."
Commander Yu became interested. He tapped the table slightly and turned to look at the map. "Tell me the rest of your thoughts?"
Zhou Weiguo pointed directly at the map: "The current regiment is more than thirty kilometers away from the main force of his brigade. According to the intelligence, although this regiment is not equipped with combat vehicles, its strength is full. You know, a regiment
It is appropriate for a team to fight against our division or army. Although our 74th Army has some reputation, it is because we have veterans in the past. This time we have only added them not long ago. I am afraid the Japanese army does not think we are very strong.
.”
"Deception and psychological tactics?" Commander Wang understood the meaning. He raised his head and looked at Zhou Weiguo. In his eyes, he hoped that Zhou Weiguo would affirm his words.
Zhou Weiguo indeed thought so.
You won't pay for your life by lying to others, and you won't pay for your life by lying to others.
After teasing him again and again, Buddha would also get angry, not to mention that the Japanese army, which had been in a state of victory during this period, would probably be even more angry.
Just use this point to get rid of him. After beating this early bird back, you will have time to deal with the two divisions that came over.
Anyway, it’s just for fun. They are anxious, but you are not anxious. Just make them uncomfortable.
"We have plenty of time, but they don't. They have to cope with the Japanese attack in the north, and we either fight them desperately or just play until they are struggling. If we drag them, we will drag them to death."
Ha ha……
Commander Yu is very satisfied with this fresh and exciting suggestion that can accomplish the above tasks.
He smiled widely and said, "Okay, then let's fight him first. Your troops will be the main force, and you will be the ones to command this battle."
Come again.
Zhou Weiguo's eyes widened and his mouth widened. After a moment, he stood up with a smile and came to the army commander: "Chief teacher, can I not participate in the attack this time?"
Not participating in the offense? What does that mean?
Commander Yu narrowed his eyes and stared at Zhou Weiguo with a sudden look of majesty: "What do you mean? It's you who came up with this plan. If you don't take command, who will take command?"
Mr. Wang and Mr. Feng were also a little confused.
If he doesn't participate in the attack, his special agent team has the strongest equipment and firepower, so it doesn't make sense that he doesn't attack.
"No, no, division commander, you misunderstood. What I mean is that the special agent group is still attacking, but can I act alone? Jiang Yue is also a talent. He has no problem commanding troops to ambush or anything like that."
Acting alone? Commander Yu was a little confused about Zhou Weiguo's acting alone.
He put away his cannibalistic look, and tapped his fingers on the desk for a moment before looking at Zhou Weiguo: "You are acting alone, what are you going to do?"
Zhou Weiguo chuckled; "I'm going to deal with the two divisions coming from Yangzhou."
What?
After hearing this, Commander Yu's mouth moved for a long time, and then he spat out a few words and asked in horror: "You, go to the two divisions that came from Yangzhou."
