Chapter 49: Try it out

Having said this, Ma Chunsheng pointed at the map and said: "No. 1, the Japanese army's road maneuverability is not strong. You know this better than we do. Especially when the large number of trucks lost last year have not yet been replenished, the Japanese army

supply is more dependent on railways."

"Since the beginning of summer, we have been continuously bombing the Zhongchang Railway and various roads north of Xinjing. From the current point of view, our bombing of the Japanese railway lines has achieved certain results. Before the campaign was launched, the Japanese army's

The amount of supplies is already insufficient. And since the launch of the campaign, we have increased the intensity of air strikes, and the Japanese army's supplies have dropped faster."

"Judging from the statements of Japanese prisoners of war captured by various units in Fuyu and Yushu directions, the amount of ammunition and supplies sent by the Japanese army since the beginning of the battle has dropped by one-third compared with before the war. In some areas, the amount of supplies to Japanese troops has even dropped.

More than half, and the supplies sent forward are mainly the most urgently needed artillery shells."

"Because the Japanese army knows very well that without the support of artillery fire, under such field fortifications, it will be difficult for them to withstand our combined offensive of infantry, artillery, tanks, and aviation. This is not like Laoye Ridge, Zhang Guangcai Ridge, or Wanda Mountain

This is a mountainous area, which is the Songnen Plain. They do not have the advantage of terrain, nor do they have the permanent fortifications that can be used in the eastern mountainous areas."

"Under our army's air strikes, although the Japanese army adopted a deep defense tactic. However, compared to our multi-arms combined attack tactics, the defensive posture of this tactic cannot be said to be papery, but it is not

It is difficult to break through. Although the multi-arms joint combat method we adopted is still a bit immature, it is quite suitable for the terrain of Buyeo and Deokhye."

"With the lack of anti-tank weapons and anti-aircraft weapons, coupled with the terrain, it is still easy for us to break through the Japanese defense line. Once they lack the support of artillery fire, their defense support capabilities are no better than other armies.

It’s good to get there. So the ammunition they send forward is generally artillery shells.”

"The Japanese army is now under our air strikes, and it is very difficult to forward ammunition. Its vehicles are almost unable to move during the day and can only rely on night supplies. And its vehicle transportation capacity is limited, and the amount of forward materials transported in one night will not be too large.

Large. Although food is now almost collected on the spot, there is no place to collect ammunition. Therefore, the possibility of the Japanese army hoarding some ammunition at the junction of Yushu and Dehui is still very high."

"It is very close to the main battlefield of the Japanese army's center line, and there is a relatively developed highway system. To deliver supplies from the junction of Dehui and Yushu, you can make two trips in one night by car transportation. If you use animal power or human transportation, you can also make two trips in one night.

Send a considerable amount of ammunition and supplies to various front-line positions."

"For the Japanese army, this is a pretty good way to prevent excessive losses of ammunition and materials during transportation. This is also the most reasonable explanation for the place on this map. And I took a look, except for this map

Appearing in places where it should not have appeared, there are no big holes in the deployment of the Japanese troops on this map. The direction of its reserve deployment is also in line with our current battlefield situation."

"And even if the Japanese map is a conspiracy and they want to lure us into taking the bait, they have to spend a little money, right? I don't believe it. The little devil came up with a wing to trap us and paid such a huge cost.

, will only confuse us and give ourselves a break.”

"If this map is a trap, then they will definitely hide a bigger move later. Otherwise, with the stingy behavior of the little devils, they will not risk a wing. So I think no matter what

He said that mobilizing some aviation forces to conduct raids on these locations should only do us good and not harm."

"If it is true, we destroyed the Japanese army's reserve ammunition, which will greatly reduce the difficulty of our army's next offensive. If it is not true, it is just a waste of some bombs for us. But we can see through it.

The Japanese army made a conspiracy against us. The price is proportional to the effort."

"It's just a pity that we have too few reconnaissance planes. We use fighter jets as temporary replacements, but the performance is still lacking and cannot meet our needs. Otherwise, we can send a reconnaissance plane after dawn to verify and take some photos. The effect will be

It should be better.”

Regarding Ma Chunsheng's suggestion, Yang Zhen hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly: "You are right, stabbing him will only benefit us, there is no harm. For us, at most it will waste a few bombs. Although we are not that strong

But this price is still worth it. You go and draft an order for the aviation force to bomb several secret ammunition storage points of the Japanese army south of Yushu. If there are dates or no dates, hit them three times."

"This map was captured by the 27th Regiment of the Ninth Division from the headquarters of the 28th Regiment of the Japanese Army. When it comes to us, it should be said that it has been through three hands. Now, whether it is the Ninth Division or their 27th Regiment,

I'm afraid they will adjust their offensive according to the Japanese army deployment on these maps."

"Now that we have issued an order, I'm afraid it's too late to stop them. In this way, you send a report to Wang Minggui. Tell them that from now on, their situation will be reported every hour. Especially the actions of the 27th Regiment, let's

I'll keep an eye on him. That guy Wang Yuyang is not a fuel-efficient guy."

"This man is a well-known mad dog in the army and a very vindictive guy. He suffered a loss in the offensive on the first day, and now it is strange that he is trying every means to find a place. With these few pictures, where are they going?

If you come here, this guy will probably be even more confident."

"But regardless of whether this map is a trap set by the Japanese army for us, let the Ninth Division attack this guy at this time. Judging from the current battle situation, we should not suffer any big losses. This guy Wang Minggui is very scheming, and his men

The three regiment leaders are also more courageous than Wo Guada."

"They were all created on the battlefield. Even if these maps are a trap set by the Japanese army, there is no need to worry too much about the dangers on their side. That guy Wang Minggui has a very sensitive nose.

If anything is wrong, he will smell it out in the shortest possible time."

"It's just that one of the main regiments of the Ninth Division has been transferred away from the Yushu battlefield to outflank the flanks of the 28th Division. The current strength of the Ninth Division, if tested with them, is somewhat weak. Especially their flanks are a bit empty. This way

, you send a report to the chief of staff and ask him to mobilize no less than one reinforcement regiment from the general reserve, rush to Yushu within twenty-four hours, and strengthen the command of the Ninth Division."

"At the same time, Chen Hanzhang, who is ordered to operate on the right wing of the Ninth Division, must tightly contain the main force of the Seventh Division to ensure the safety of the Ninth Division's flanks. What I am most worried about now is that Wang Minggui will use the troops that are not abundant at hand.

Let me spread out. Once the Japanese army seizes the opportunity, they may be bitten again and the Japanese will defeat them one by one."

"The Japanese have no tradition of refusing to save the enemy. Once the 28th Regiment is really in danger, the main force of the Seventh Division will never sit idly by. If the Japanese army really deploys a large number of reserves deep in Yushu,

The current strength of the Ninth Division is very dangerous. Especially on their flanks, the strength is too few."

After arranging the deployment adjustment of the center line, Yang Zhen turned to Ma Chunsheng and said: "Old Ma, has there been any news from Wang Guangyu? How long will it take for them to complete the direction adjustment? Urge them and let them speed up.

Speed. Tell Wang Guangyu not to wait for Du Kaishan to take office before setting off."

Hearing Yang Zhen's inquiry, Ma Chunsheng smiled and said: "No. 1, are you a little anxious? After receiving the order from Commander Wang, it is necessary to complete the reorganization of the first division and the first armored brigade. It is also necessary to replenish ammunition and supplies.

We also need to adjust our frontline troops to prevent the Japanese from taking advantage of our loopholes."

"These preparations cannot be completed in a day. After all, if an infantry division plus an armored brigade and a cavalry brigade are transferred, the deployment of the entire eastern front still needs to be readjusted. The Japanese commanders are not free.

, if we don’t adjust our deployment, it’s easy for them to take advantage of our opportunity and bite us back.”

"Moreover, since the roundabout force led by Commander Wang is going to be a surprise force, it must do a good job of concealment when it withdraws, and the Japanese army in front of them must not be aware of it. Otherwise, our surprise force will lose its effect.

.The Japanese commanders still have a very keen sense of smell, and it will still take a lot of energy to withdraw a division of troops from the battlefield without telling them."

"No. 1, you often warn us that the more prepared we are before a battle, the greater our chances of victory. Why are you so impatient now? Although the current Outer Mongolian army does not have much strength to stop me.

The army's roundabout actions. But the Outer Mongolian army still has the ability to cause some trouble for us. Especially their cavalry troops are still very mobile."

"Commander Wang's roundabout operation this time is through their territory, and there are many unforeseen factors. Therefore, the more prepared Commander Wang is, the smoother the progress will be. Especially now that we only have the China-Mongolia border map that captured the Japanese army.

, there are only two civilian versions of the maps in Mongolia. I don’t know much about the terrain there. Commander Wang needs to be more cautious in his actions.”

"Also, I suggest that it is not too late to wait until Commander Du takes office before setting off for Commander Wang. After all, in the south Xing'an direction, in addition to the roundabout troops led by Commander Wang, there are also two infantry divisions and a large number of attached troops in the original direction.

We must fight on the ground. The troops who are left to continue the offensive in place do not have a unified command, so it is not feasible to let them fight independently."

"Although there is only a second-rate division in front of them now, which is a division that was reorganized after being defeated by us, after all, it is a complete division. Our original plan was to focus on mountain assaults and interspersed operations.

. Under such circumstances, it is easy for the two divisions to fight independently, causing chaos. Or even accidental damage may occur. Therefore, I suggest that it is better to wait for Commander Du to arrive before Commander Wang sets off again. "
