"Order all units to immediately enter first-level combat readiness equipment."
"Bring dry food for five days!"
"We have a long march ahead!"
Fang Yu said straightforwardly.
From the map, the distance between Heyuan County and Taiyuan is almost 150 kilometers.
This is either a straight line distance or the distance that needs to be traveled.
One hundred and fifty kilometers...
Even a forced march would take almost two days.
After two days, you are exhausted, how can you still fight?
If you take a break midway, you will basically be stuck on the road for two or three days.
This is when everything goes well.
If it doesn't go well...it will be even more troublesome.
Now we must ensure that there are no surprises...
Moreover, during the transportation process, there were many heavy artillery, anti-aircraft machine guns and other large equipment...
Fortunately, every time we fought against the Japanese, most of their trucks were left behind.
It's almost enough now.
Just because we have to take into account the driving issues of trucks, tanks, and armored vehicles, we must take the main road along the way. This is inevitable.
The whole army is ready for war!
Surging!
"commander."
"With such a big plan, do we need to report it to the headquarters...?"
Sun Shaobai, deputy commander of the New First Brigade, couldn't help but said.
Now no one else will ask this question.
Everyone knows what's going on.
But after all, Sun Shaobai had just joined Fang Yu's army a few days ago.
So I still can’t help but ask a few more questions...
When I was the deputy chief of staff of the Jinsui Army, I basically reported everything...
Otherwise, the superior would have been suspicious of him long ago.
"A report must be reported."
"But the timing of this report can be appropriately controlled by oneself."
"For example, right now, if we contact the headquarters through the radio, it is very likely that the secret will be leaked midway."
"Although the headquarters is very experienced in eliminating enemy agents, we should not be afraid of ten thousand, but be afraid of the worst case..."
"In order to prevent our strategic plan from being known to the enemy in advance, we will not contact the headquarters for the time being."
Fang Yu nodded, deeply convinced.
Immediately, Fang Yu's eyes suddenly glanced at Sun Shaobai twice more.
"Shao Bai."
"I have seen your military accomplishments and abilities in the past few days."
"It's just that sometimes it's a little bit structured and procedural."
"I will be outside, and I will not accept your order."
"The opinions of the headquarters are naturally important, but after all, the heads of the headquarters have not been to the battlefield in person, and they have not directly experienced the atmosphere on the battlefield..."
“Therefore, there may be some unwarranted biases when making decisions.”
"This is normal."
"If we blindly follow the orders of the headquarters to fight, such good students may not be bad at fighting, but it will be difficult to achieve excellent results."
"Take the current matter as an example."
"If we report the attack on Taiyuan to the headquarters, the headquarters will definitely spend some time discussing the pros and cons of this battle."
"This period of time is enough for a lot of things to happen."
"So...in order to prevent these unnecessary accidents from happening, let's not get hung up on this."
Fang Yu nodded silently and said confidently.
"ah……"
"Yes...commander!"
Sun Shaobai nodded quickly.
Whatever the commander says is what it is.
There's nothing to say, just follow the commander.
…
Jin Province.
Dongyu City.
The existing 100,000 troops of the Japanese Second Imperial Army are stationed here.
There were originally 110,000, but they were bombed by Xulong Brigade bombers along the way, and the number of casualties reached 10,000.
The remaining 100,000 Japs have all arrived around Dongyu City.
In Dongyu City, the Central Army also gathered a hundred thousand troops...
It’s only been a few days since I was deployed here...
Without any preparation, he was surrounded by a hundred thousand Japanese army.
One hundred thousand versus one hundred thousand?
It’s obvious where the advantages lie.
The mentality of the commanders of the Central Army has long since collapsed...
"There are more than 100,000 Japs..."
"Densely packed, all..."
"Maybe more than 100,000 yuan..."
"Oh shit!"
"Why are you so unlucky?"
"I thought I would have a chance to take a good rest when I came to Jin Province."
"Who knew something like this would happen."
"What's next?"
"There is no hope at all!"
"Otherwise we should just evacuate."
"Breakout?"
"Maybe there's still a chance."
Zhang Hang, commander of the 17th Army, took a deep breath and said quickly.
The situation is too dangerous at the moment.
"Brother Zhang, if there is a chance to escape, why are you delaying until now?"
"It's not difficult to be so scared now that we don't have a chance..."
"Why……"
"The Japs have deployed heavy troops on all sides. Now that we are breaking through, we have fallen into the Japs' trap. We are like fat meat and have fallen directly into the Japs' blood..."
"Even if we are lucky enough to escape by then, our troops will suffer at least 7,788 casualties..."
Sun Tianhao, commander of the 28th Army, smiled bitterly, then shook his head.
Not much hope.
All I feel at this moment is an extremely strong sense of disappointment.
At this thought, I couldn't help but smile bitterly.
At the moment, I couldn't say a word and felt... an extreme headache.
Other military commanders, division commanders, and senior staff officers affiliated with the Central Army discussed individually...
It immediately became a mess.
Every word you say and every word I express express my foresight.
But actually? Nothing...
Just listening to it gives me a splitting headache.
None of them are useful.
"You definitely can't break through the encirclement..."
"It's difficult to defend the city, but breaking out is a dead end!"
"Once our troops are dispersed, we will really be at the mercy of the Japanese."
Zhang Hang, commander of the 17th Army, shook his head and sighed.
“This won’t work, and that won’t work either, so what should we do?”
"Damn it!"
"As for labor and management, we might as well just wait for help."
"Report to the commander and ask him to send reinforcements."
"We will defend Dongyu City."
"Fight the devil directly!"
"If we can hold on and successfully wait for reinforcements, then of course it will be good."
"If the reinforcements really don't come, then kill a Japanese to save your capital!"
"Kill two of them, and you can still earn one damn!"
"Afraid of a ball!"
"Done!"
"Labour and management go first!"
Wang Mengjiang, commander of the 75th Division, waved his hand and said straightforwardly.
He was tired of hearing the constant nonsense!
If you are a man, just do it!
The noise in the hall became more and more anxious.
After much talk, no one came up with an opinion.
On the Japs side, they have made full preparations and are about to start attacking the city...
Naturally, it is impossible for all the 100,000 troops of the Central Army to be in the city. In fact, many troops are stationed around Dongyu City and many defense lines have been set up...
But it can't withstand the impact of 100,000 Japanese soldiers.
