Speaking of this, Xu Zhixu pointed to the previous battlefield situation on the map and said: "Although I still don't know who is commanding them. Is it your old classmate from Baoding Military Academy, Commander Xiyi, or Commander Xiyi?"
This Yang Zhen personally commanded. But judging from how quickly they moved without any sloppiness, their combat style should be different from what it used to be."
"After our 40th Division had already deployed its defenses on the Xingtan line, it was still able to be attacked from the north and south and pursued by troops, and even the Bangshan line was broken through by our army. We were still determined to ignore the unfavorable terrain.
, adopting the tactics of attacking from above, breaking through our army’s defense line in Xingtan in one fell swoop, and forcibly opening a way out when our army was surrounded by heavy troops, we must not continue to look at people with the same old eyes.”
"The so-called Lao San Regiment on the front line of Bangshan was actually able to recover in a short period of time when its leader was killed by us, the political commissar was injured and lost the ability to command, and the commander-in-chief defected. Even with the 52nd Division,
The elites fought vigorously, blocking one division of the 52nd Division for a whole day. Although the 52nd Division had superior strength, it was unable to move south in time, buying it extremely rare time."
"We all understand the regulations of the New Fourth Army. The chief military officer is only responsible for battlefield command. As for the deployment of cadres, it is their so-called political commissar who has the final say. In other words, they can change generals on the spot, leaving the third regiment in trouble.
His ability to recover in a short period of time shows that this person has a sharp vision and is accurate in employing people. We will not talk about his actual command ability for the moment, but this vision alone is extremely rare."
"Judging from the current situation, they are not far away from Liyang and the southern part of Jiangsu Province. They are resting in the mountainous area in the southeast of Jingxian County. It is not as simple as it seems on the surface. Everyone knows that in the surrounding areas
With our army still heavily concentrated, it is definitely not a good idea to rest and recuperate in Jingxian County."
"Even though there are high mountains and dense forests, it still cannot change the problem of narrow room for maneuver. With our army still deploying heavy troops around, as long as our army moves quickly, whether it is in the southeast mountainous area of Jingxian County or in Jingde, they can do it at any time
Facing another encirclement by our army."
"According to the situation they are currently facing, what they should do most is not to rest, but to go north immediately. It is true that the mountainous area in the southeast of Jing County has high mountains and dense forests, which is more suitable for their activities. But on both sides of the Huihe River in the west, there are currently three of our troops
Division. There are two divisions of our army in Ningguo to the east."
"Although the Eighty-eighth Army has insufficient troops and broken equipment, its combat effectiveness can be described as acceptable. And after all, it has one division. Plus the 126th Division, which also belongs to the Sichuan Army system, even if these two divisions are rubbish
, but it’s not something they can take down with only six regiments of troops.”
"It is precisely because going south to Jingde is the most advantageous for their actions, so I think they will never enter Jingde at this time. Because judging from the general military terrain and our understanding of them, anyone who is not blind can do it
It can be seen that after they break through the front line of Xingtan, their next step will definitely be to enter Jingde. Under such an obvious situation, how can our army not have a backup plan?"
"Judging from their previous actions, they can't fail to see this. Without this ability, Yang Zhen, who was specially transferred from the Northeast by Northern Shaanxi, would not have won two major victories in the Northeast. That's it.
Even the always arrogant Japanese Kwantung Army was defeated by him one after another."
"Furthermore, during the ten years of civil war before the Anti-Japanese War, bluffing and bluffing were also the usual methods used during encirclement and suppression. So I think the so-called high-power radio station they deployed in the southeastern mountainous area of Jingxian County is definitely
A cover to attract the attention of our army. But the real intention is to go north."
"I agree with the movement of three divisions eastward to annihilate the southeastern mountainous area of Qingjing County, and the 88th Army's westward movement. But I think we still need to consider the second guerrilla zone going south. Chief, once the second guerrilla zone goes south,
This means that we completely gave them a way to go north in disguise. I think it is more suitable to move the second guerrilla zone to the west of Nanyi Lake in Xuancheng and use the river as a natural blocking position."
Regarding Xu Zhixu's worries, Shangguan Yunxiang said indifferently: "Brother Fenglou, you have filtered it. Although the 52nd Division did not completely defeat the third regiment on the front line of Bangshan, it also suffered heavy losses.
.Coupled with the Niulanling front line, although the 79th Division moved slowly and lost its fighter opportunities, it also inflicted heavy losses on its so-called secret service group and training corps."
"In addition, on the Xingtan front line, the 40th Division relied on its superior strength and firepower, coupled with the convenient terrain it occupied, to inflict heavy damage to its so-called main force. Their original six regiments now have at most four regiments
Their troops are exhausted. For them, who are now defeated, the most important thing they should do is to rush to find a place to stay and regain their strength."
"Under such circumstances, if they choose to continue going north, they will not only face heavy pursuit by our army, but also face a pincer attack from our second guerrilla zone and the pursuit troops. In addition, the road from Xuancheng to southern Jiangsu is full of water.
The network is vertical and horizontal, and the terrain is extremely unfavorable for the movement of large troops, making it impossible for them to move quickly and with almost no room for maneuver. Going north at this time, there is no way to escape the danger of being annihilated by our troops."
"And if they go north at this time, even if they can get past us and get rid of our pursuit and the interception of the Second Guerrilla Zone, there are still the Japanese 15th Division and puppet troops in Wuhu in front of them. If they go north at this time,
, is undoubtedly the stupidest choice for them."
"Judging from their usual practice, they do not have the courage, let alone the confidence. If they enter Jingde, it will be completely different. Jingde has an important strategic location and is an extremely important strategic point on the border between Zhejiang and Anhui. You can go from the east
Along the Tianmu Mountain to enter western Zhejiang, the west can use the Huangshan Mountains to enter She County and Yi County in southwestern Anhui Province. These places are rich in land and people, which are of great benefit to their recovery."
"Don't forget, when they go north, they not only have to face the interception of our second guerrilla zone, but also the Japanese and puppet troops on the front line of Wuhu and Ma'anshan. Even if they can break through our defense line, the Japanese and puppet troops will never let go.
Passing them. Going north is a dead end for them. As for whether they can reach southern Jiangsu, I think there is little hope. So I think they will definitely not go north at this time, but will go south to the Jingde line."
"Brother Fenglou, you have to persuade me again. I have made up my mind and the original plan remains unchanged. I strictly order all ministries to immediately follow the requirements of the group army and rush to the designated location in the shortest possible time. Tell the generals in front that if this time
Letting go of the New Fourth Army in southern Anhui will undermine the overall deployment of the Military Commission and the war zone to stabilize the Jiangnan battlefield. Even though I have feelings, national law and military law are ruthless."
Seeing that Shangguan Yunxiang was so stubborn and refused to listen to dissuasion, he even took the risk. Xu Zhixu, who wanted to try harder to persuade the commander not to be too stubborn and not to listen to dissuasion so as not to delay the battle, had not even opened his mouth, and he was filled with words.
Shangguan Yunxiang choked back with a sharp look.
If Xu Zhixu, who claimed to be the disciple of the Emperor, was a little dissatisfied with Shangguan Yunxiang's stubbornness, then Wen Mingjian, the deputy commander of the 25th Army who was called to the meeting because he was urging ammunition at the headquarters, secretly shook his head and refused to let him continue to persuade him.
The signal only told him to shut up. We are all disciples of the emperor, so we don’t have to listen to what others say. But he still has to listen to the words of the second-term big brother of Huangpu.
After the combat meeting left, Xu Zhixu said to Wen Mingjian in a somewhat anxious voice: "Brother, why didn't you let me persuade you? This guy in the main seat is placing all his bets on the New Fourth Army going south to Jingde and entering the Tianmu Mountains. He is obviously a
Quite a mistake. If we really follow his plan, I'm afraid we won't catch anything."
"Does he really think that the general who was transferred thousands of miles from the northeast by Yan'an is really as short-sighted as him? There is indeed much more room for maneuver when entering Jingde. It is also in the Tianmu Mountains. The mountains are high and the forests are dense, which is indeed in line with its usual characteristics.
Development and means of survival. But everyone can see this."
"Since we can think of this, don't they think that we will pay attention to them heading south into Jingde? Moreover, the Tianmu Mountain area in Jingde seems to have a lot of room for maneuver, and the high mountains and dense forests are suitable for their development. But in fact, the situation is not at all
Not so ideal.”
"To the east of Jingde is an integrated army from our First Guerrilla Zone, and to the west are the elite troops and generals currently mobilized by our Third Theater Command. To the south, the 86th Army directly under the theater is stationed in Huizhou, responsible for the second-line defense of southern Anhui.
.Although the 79th Division was transferred north to join the war, the two main divisions of the 86th Army are now stationed in the Huizhou area. Going south to Jingde is tantamount to a dead end for them."
"Even if they flee into Zhejiang, so what. Not counting the Eighty-Eighth Army, the Tenth Army alone has three armies. Plus the three divisions of the Twenty-fifth Army and the Seventieth Army, as well as the 3rd Army directly assigned to the command of the theater
The 100th Army and the 67th Division directly under it, as well as the Wentai garrison, the Xiangcao garrison and the Simingshan guerrilla column."
"Not counting the garrison, guerrilla columns and the Eighty-eighth Army that was transferred to Ningguo, the field army in Zhejiang alone has two group armies and five armies. And most of these five armies are very powerful and fully equipped.
Type A Army. Even if they are lucky enough to enter Zhejiang, they will not be able to stand except for going to Hangzhou to compete with the Japanese for food. We can still mobilize heavy troops at any time to completely wipe them out. And it will be more beneficial to us politically."
"The most important thing is that they have informed us of this route before setting off. If this battle had not started, they would naturally not have changed their route and would still have taken the Jingde line. But now they have publicly broken their skin.
Fight. Will they march honestly according to the route reported to the war zone? Are they stupid, or are we naive?"
"He was stubborn and refused to listen to dissuasion and violated the orders of the Military Commission. It doesn't matter what he is like personally, but for the Military Commission and the theater commander's department, all the previous efforts will be in vain. The cost of participating in the suppression of the troops will be
It's all wasted. One general is really incompetent and the whole army is exhausted."
