For the thousands of troops led by Yang Zhen, once the war is delayed and the troops are divided, disaster awaits them. Especially when the Forty Division still has a cavalry company in Sanxi,
Yang Zhen had to consider the consequences if the smuggling in batches was discovered.
So after arriving at the scheduled location, after comprehensively considering the enemy situation on the highway and the deployment of troops on the Sanxi and Caijiaqiao lines, Yang Zhen made up his mind to change the original pattern of using the patrol gaps of his patrol team in batches and paralyzing the guard posts in all directions.
Carefully plan to cross the road without firing. Use a tactical formation, concentrate the limited firepower at hand, and rush over in one go.
In fact, Yang Zhen's worries were justified. As soon as the troops approached the foot of the mountain, they were discovered by the 79th Division guard post at the foot of the mountain. However, the guard post here did not even think about what they had been reporting from the top.
Trapped in the mountainous area northeast of Jingde, the New Fourth Army, which was already trapped and struggling, suddenly appeared in front of him. He even asked innocently who it was. He obviously regarded the people on the mountain as his friendly forces.
The sentry's question was answered only by a 7.65mm bullet fired by a speed machine. As the gunfire, which was equivalent to a general attack order, suddenly sounded on the road from Sanxi to Caijiaqiao, which had always been peaceful.
There was a burst of grenade explosions and gunfire.
The first echelon, which took the lead, had concentrated almost all the troops of the special agent group at this time, concentrated all the troops and firepower, and quickly defeated the surrounding security posts from other directions who came for reinforcements, as well as the patrols who heard the gunshots and came to support.
After the team arrived, they quickly passed the highway without stopping and rushed towards the pontoon bridge.
Before the 79th Division Engineer Company guarding the pontoon had time to react, its so-called defense line consisting of a few simple sandbags was breached. The firepower coming from the flanks, originally from the direction of its own friendly forces, accelerated even more
The collapse of the garrison. The engineer company with few guns was defeated without even resisting. In addition to the pontoon bridge captured by Lee Myung-bak, the remaining two pontoon bridges also fell into the hands of the first echelon intact.
.
Behind the first echelon, as the second echelon, the Laoshan Regiment, which had been organized into three organic companies at this time, spread out to the two wings, preparing to block enemy reinforcements on both sides of the road and cover the teaching corps and Yang Zhen in the middle.
Leading radio stations and other non-combatants through the highway.
At this time, the battalion of the 79th Division on the highway was beaten and turned around by the sudden appearance of the enemy. By the time they reacted and regrouped, all the troops led by Yang Zhen had rushed forward in the shortest possible time.
Crossed the Huishui River. And before leaving, they used the captured kerosene to burn all three pontoon bridges.
When a battalion and a cavalry company of the Forty Division stationed in Sanxi, as well as the troops of the Seventy-ninth Division who heard the gunfire and rushed from the Caijiaqiao line for reinforcements, arrived. There were only a pile of corpses on the ground and three flaming pontoon bridges on the river.
, and besides the bullet casings on the ground, there was no one left.
Wang Yongshu, the commander of the 235th Regiment of the 79th Division who personally led the team from Caijiaqiao to Caijiaqiao, was furious when faced with such a scene. He directly ordered the battalion commander in charge of the Sanxi to Caijiaqiao line to be tied up. If he hadn't been
Without authority, I'm afraid the battalion commander will be shot directly.
In contrast to the furious rage of Wang Yongshu, whose own defense line was breached within a few minutes, he stood beside him and stood with him on the bank of Huishui River, but his eyes were looking at the three flaming pontoons on the river. The staff officer of the 79th Division
Chang Hu Bihua was relatively calm.
After stopping Wang Yongshu from shooting the company commander guarding the pontoon bridge and the squad leader responsible for several security posts at the breached point, he said: "Chongsan, why are you so angry? The responsibility for this battle does not lie with you.
As for them, as for Shangfeng, they were just misled by the intelligence. Not to mention them, weren't we, the officers, also kept in the dark? The order Shangfeng gave us was not to go all out to Jingde.
Encirclement in the Northeastern Mountains?"
"Not only you and me, but also the general assembly and the theater, how many people would have thought that the New Fourth Army in southern Anhui not only did not go east into western Zhejiang as they expected, but did the opposite and broke out to the west? Those of us who put our minds on Jingde
None of the officers expected this, so how could they, who are just lower-level officials and assistants, expect this?"
Having said this, Hu Bihua bent down and picked up a cartridge case from the ground that was longer than a pistol cartridge but much shorter than the popular full-charge rifle cartridges. After staring at it for a long time, she smiled slightly and said: "The funny thing is, the president still has
I have always stubbornly believed that the New Fourth Army troops in southern Anhui would move eastward into western Zhejiang after their northward route was blocked by our army. As a result, the whole thing was fooled."
"When they entered the Jingde Mountains, they were just taking a false shot. The actual purpose was exactly the opposite of what the Central Committee had judged. They were not going to western Zhejiang, but to the west into the Huangshan Mountains. They had consciously exposed their position.
Afterwards, taking advantage of the gap left by our army's eagerness to encircle it in the mountainous area northeast of Jingde and adjust its troop deployment, it quietly retreated westward."
Wang Yongshu disagreed with Hu Bihua's judgment: "Sir, you are overthinking it. The New Fourth Army that broke out from Sanxi to Caijiaqiao was only a thousand people. And their troops in southern Anhui were nearly ten thousand. This is so small
To put it bluntly, the military strength is just a trick to attract our attention and cover their main actions."
"At the beginning of this campaign, the General Assembly mobilized a large number of radio stations to monitor their positions with the assistance of the war zone. And the leading search company of the 62nd Division also encountered them in the northeastern mountainous area of Jingde? Don't worry.
, what broke out from us was just a chess piece they used to attract our troops. Their main force is still in the mountainous area northeast of Jingde."
Regarding Wang Yongshu's rebuttal, Hu Bihua did not get angry. He just smiled and looked at the main commander of the 79th Division beside him. For this nail who was placed in the 79th Division by the Civil Engineering Department, the whole division was shocked.
It is still very taboo. Although the 79th Division is part of the Central Army, it is not directly from the First Army.
The roots of the 79th Division are the 26th Army, which was adapted from the Zhejiang Army during the Northern Expedition. Not to mention the First Army, it has nothing to do with Huangpu. In the eyes of some people in the Military Commission, although it is not a no-name brand, it has nothing to do with it.
The combat effectiveness is not bad, but it is not as considerate as the 52nd Division.
Since the Battle of Nanchang, where the teacher was killed, the new division commander was executed by the group army commander-in-chief who was currently fully responsible for encircling and suppressing the New Fourth Army in southern Anhui. In order to shirk responsibility and delay the fighter plane, all hands have been constantly reaching in. Especially the one who was on the battlefield.
They are really good at fighting, but they also have a huge appetite when it comes to annexing other people's troops. The Civil Engineering Department is the most active.
The current regimental commander was the boss of the civil engineering department who directly moved in, bypassing the military division level. However, due to the seniority restrictions of the civil engineering department officers, the division commander's position was won by the so-called second person. I,
The division chief of staff, isn't it also the commander of the theater who gets involved in order to control this unit?
There is also the deputy division commander, whose background is well known to everyone. It’s just that he is not as domineering as the commander. There have always been complex factions, and there are countless big and small ones. They are the Central Military System, which is known as the direct faction.
, is also inevitable. Several factions are intertwined with each other. Although there is no major chaos, frictions are endless.
The leader of the so-called rising star of the Civil Engineering Department has had a smooth journey since graduating from the Advanced Education Class of the Central Military Academy. In just a few years, he went from being an adjutant of a miscellaneous regiment recruited into the 11th Division of the 18th Army, where the Civil Engineering Department started, to now
As the main commander of the main division of the third theater.
He was successful at a young age, and he was a disciple of the emperor, so he won the respect of the boss of the civil engineering department. As well as the usual domineering style of their civil engineering department, this man looked down on others. Not all his classmates at the Central Military Academy.
Is it the same? Each eye is higher than the top, as if no one in China knows how to fight except yourself.
Thinking of this, Hu Bihua shook his head. Although he had stayed out of the matter, as the chief of staff of the division, he still had to say something. After a few words, Hu Bihua said: "Chongsan, do you really think they got it from us?"
Are these thousands of people who broke through just to attract our attention and cover their main force's breakout? You underestimate them too much."
"I'm afraid it was their last unit in the encirclement that broke out from us. If we guessed correctly, this unit is probably staying to attract our attention, mobilize our troops, and give their military headquarters and main force
Look for opportunities to go north to create conditions, and consciously direct our attention and troops to the Ningguo Mountains at the junction of Jingde and Jingde."
"In other words, our readjustment of the deployment to prevent them from escaping into western Zhejiang has played into their plans. Without the blocking of the second guerrilla zone, and other troops that should have been chasing and suppressing have been attracted southward, I'm afraid
Their military headquarters and main force must have arrived at the Yangtze River now."
"Chongsan, what the 62nd Division saw was all an illusion. How could a group of captive prisoners who knew nothing about anything be interrogated in such detail? I really didn't expect that among the people in southern Anhui, there were actually people like this.
Such talents can turn around tens of thousands of troops from seven divisions in the entire Third War Zone."
"If this commander of theirs has a chance, I really want to see what kind of person he is? He can play such a trick under our noses. Play hard to get, attack in the east, attack in the west, what a good trick. Brother Chong San
, I am afraid that this campaign against the New Fourth Army in southern Anhui will come to an end."
"Chongsan, if no troops break out from under our noses, I have some doubts about the gathered intelligence, but I have to believe it. But the current situation makes me firmly believe that we have no control over the mountains in the northeast of Jingde and Jingxian County.
The clearing up of the mountainous areas in the southeast can only be in vain."
"Because except for a very small number of stragglers, there should be no New Fourth Army there. Now the 40th Division has all moved south, and the 144th Division is also heading east. Only the New 7th Division with weak combat effectiveness is left.
division, plus the 108th Division, which had been flirting with the New Fourth Army in southern Anhui before the war."
"No matter whether they go north or west after breaking through from us, I'm afraid no one can stop them. Even if those divisions get wings, they won't be able to come back. Our ambitious and talented but greedy
The Commander-in-Chief, who has been blamed for so many mistakes, may have his hopes dashed again this time. I just don’t know who he will regard as a scapegoat this time.”
