Wang Deyao's original intention is very simple, that is, he must eat meat without damaging his vitality. He must eliminate some of the Japanese troops and weaken their attack strength, but he must not add too much strength. He must also truly exercise
These two newly formed regiments must not cripple their own troops.
He doesn't have to eat a Japanese regiment in one go. He doesn't want one brigade too many, and he doesn't want one or two squadrons too few. As long as it can weaken the Japanese army's strength, it doesn't matter to him. Anyway, he doesn't plan to do it all in one go.
The twenty-eighth regiment was completely wiped out.
Except that he didn't want to cause too many casualties, lest he would have no troops to deploy for the next battle. After all, his current opponent was the entire 7th Division, not just the 28th Regiment. The entire Alhorqin Banner,
They are all his defense zone. If there are too many casualties in the night battle, even if you achieve your goal but lose the defense line, you will betray his original intention of only eating meat and not chewing bones.
Moreover, in his opinion, although the two regiments in his hands were mixed with a lot of veterans, after all, the recruits who had not been tested by war still accounted for the majority. And during the day, they relied on favorable terrain to fight continuously, even in defensive battles.
There is no head-to-head battle, at best it can only be a battle of one strategy, which is far from enough to test these new recruits.
He still needs to taste the real combat effectiveness of these two regiments. If the combat effectiveness has not been fully formed and the appetite is too big, it is tantamount to thinking that he has too many troops on hand. For the sake of stability, he will touch the ground tonight.
The number of fish is two to three squadrons, but not too large.
However, although total annihilation is impossible, if you only want to annihilate a few of the squadrons, plus the regimental mortars, the number of artillery in your hands is still enough. I am afraid that a lot of artillery support is needed to defeat a regiment, but annihilating them individually
For a Japanese squadron, it is enough to have two or three mountain artillery pieces plus the support of two regiment-affiliated artillery pieces.
Of course, if Qiu Jintang, who is sent by the headquarters to command all the heavy artillery on the front line of the Arukorqin Banner, can allocate a little heavy artillery to himself, he will also welcome it. After all, with the fire support of the heavy artillery, his possible casualties will be,
It will be greatly alleviated. And the progress of the battle will be accelerated a lot.
Looking at the map, after careful consideration, Wang Deyao found a geomantic treasure for the 28th Regiment on the subsequent march route of the 28th Regiment. He chose the entire battlefield to be on the Haihar River, rather than on the Haihar River.
The confluence of the Omulun River, the largest tributary in Alukorqin Banner.
This place is located in a small plain area within the territory of Alhorqin Banner. There is the Omulun River in the south and the main stream of Haihar River in the north. At the intersection of the two rivers, there are many swamps and lakes. This area is a must for the march of the 28th Regiment.
Regardless of whether their intended direction is to the west or southwest, this is the place they must pass through.
For Wang Deyao, the swamps and lakes here are countless natural dividing lines that can be used to divide the marching sequence of the Japanese army. No matter how strict the military discipline of the Japanese army is and how thorough the plan is, facing the miraculous craftsmanship left by nature,
They couldn't pull off that trick, so they had to march honestly according to the terrain. In addition, they themselves stretched the marching sequence so much, this was an opportunity.
What gives Wang Deyao some headaches is that once he starts fighting in Zagastanol, what will he do if the 26th Regiment in the center moves closer to this side? If he wants to kill the 28th Regiment, he must maximize the damage.
Concentrated troops. Then the troops to block reinforcements will be relatively small.
And once the enemy forces in the remaining two directions take advantage of the battle on the Zagastanor front line to rush westward with all their strength, or move closer to the 28th Regiment, then the two reinforced battalions left behind will be
It is difficult to block the full attack of the two Japanese regiments. Even if the Japanese army is organized in a brigade, it is difficult to block it.
He wants to eat meat, but the risks involved in eating meat are enough to give this guy a headache. After all, the task given to him by his superiors is not to deal with the 28th Regiment, but to defend several strategic points of the Alhorqin Banner.
, to ensure the flanks of the Linxi battlefield, and to ensure that the headquarters severely damages the seventh division with sea of fire, minimizing the pressure and attack power it brings to the Linxi battlefield.
Seeing Wang Deyao's hesitant but excited expression with him, Qiu Jintang, deputy chief of staff of the headquarters artillery headquarters who is responsible for commanding all direct artillery units on the battlefield in Aruhorqin Banner, after knowing the whole story, smiled and said: "Old
King, feel free to eat your meat. I will take care of this 27th Regiment for you. My heavy artillery has divided all the firing areas in the entire Alhorqin Banner."
"I will select the best observers for your remaining troops and your blocking troops. If there is any movement in the 27th Regiment and you want to reinforce the 28th Regiment, my heavy artillery will handle it for you.
, make sure they don’t cross the road from Gushanzi to Shangqinghezi even half a step.”
"Anyway, our artillery force doesn't have those stinky rules of the aviation force. It's the same day and night. As long as we have good artillery observers, we won't have any difficulties. Anyway, we are just fighting Japanese enemies. Doing so does not violate the goals set by the headquarters for us. When
Hitting is the same."
"I'm still having a headache because the Japanese have spread the marching distance so far. To achieve the effect of daytime, it will cost a lot more artillery shells. Just in time, your brother created this opportunity, and we happened to fire a big one. Grandma
The limelight during the day was stolen by those guys from the Aviation Corps, and I just took this opportunity to satisfy my craving. If the limelight at night is stolen by the Aviation Corps again, will I be scolded to death by those guys from the headquarters when I go back?"
"I will give you two 75 field artillery batteries, two 155 howitzers, and two 150 heavy mortar batteries under your command. The two 122 rocket launchers that have been supporting you on the northern front during the day
I will also leave one for you, and I will give you a 107 rocket launcher company specifically to follow your troops. At the same time, I will equip you with some incendiary bombs and some shrapnel bombs.
"Watching the aviation troops cooking roast chicken during the day, I couldn't bear to use these special incendiary artillery shells allocated by the headquarters. I just wanted to use them at the critical moment. Tonight is just in time to coordinate with your actions. But you have to pay attention, Mr. Wang.
The Japs are not honest people. You have to be careful not to get stuck by them and let the Japs take advantage of you from other directions."
"The Japs in front of you are, after all, a whole division. Although you have the full cooperation of our heavy artillery, with the Japs' training level and fighting will, it is difficult for us to completely lose their attack power by relying on firepower alone. This time
When you attack, you must fight as quickly as possible."
Having said this, Qiu Jintang hesitated for a moment and then continued. He looked out the window at the fire in the sky caused by the napalm bombs dropped by the night bombers on the marching route of the 26th Regiment and said: "I'll go talk to the aviation troops. They
The bombers will be dispatched at night anyway. I asked them to focus all their energy on the 26th Regiment on the center line. My remaining heavy artillery will mainly deal with the 27th Regiment."
"Ask them to focus their main attention on the front of the 26th Regiment and the battlefield intersection you selected during the air attack on the 26th Regiment. Don't worry, we will fully cooperate with you to carry out this night attack.
.But you should also be careful yourself and don’t forget the tasks assigned to us by our superiors.”
Regarding the generosity of this old comrade, Wang Deyao said nothing. He just held Qiu Jintang's hand tightly and did not let go for a long time. Although he did not say any words of thanks, his eyes were full of gratitude and anyone could see it.
Come out. For Wang Deyao, who was worried about the lack of troops in his hands, Qiu Jintang's move was nothing more than providing help in the snow.
Looking at Wang Deyao who looked slightly excited, Qiu Jintang smiled and said: "Old Wang, don't have any ideas. Everything we do is to fight the Japanese. As long as you can solve as many twenty-eight people as possible
With the Japanese troops in the coalition, our pressure will be much lessened tomorrow."
"To be honest, we did have a great time fighting during the day. The number of shells we fired today was something we had never thought of before. However, the consumption of ammunition was too fast. Especially the rocket shells were consumed too fast.
The quantity is too great. If we continue to fight at this consumption rate, the number of artillery shells transported here will be exhausted in less than three days."
"Now that the entire Northeast is in a war, the daily consumption of artillery shells is almost an astronomical figure. Our military industry capabilities are still limited. What we are currently shooting are old stocks in stock. Once the artillery shells in the rear are consumed too fast and cannot be replenished,
We will suffer a loss. Moreover, the headquarters cannot replenish artillery shells and only take care of our family."
"In fact, you took advantage of the night to touch the Japanese 28th Regiment, which actually reduced our burden. The better you fight tonight, the more artillery shells we can save to maintain a long-term operation.
.Besides, whether we are infantry or artillery, we are all a family. A family helps each other, what else can we thank you for?"
Since Qiu Jintang said this, Wang Deyao didn't say anything else. He just waved his hand and called the two regiment commanders around him over, ready to start. With the assistance of artillery and aviation, he was bold enough to do this.
There is nothing to be taboo about anymore.
Wang Deyao quickly followed the idea in his mind, and after completing the homework on the map, he said to the two regiment commanders beside him: "The first regiment commander Gou Zaihe commanded the first regiment, one battalion, and third battalion, as well as the second regiment, one battalion, and three companies, and the second battalion and one company.
Stay where you are and continue to monitor the remaining two groups of Japanese troops. The 2nd Regiment, 1st Battalion, and 3rd Battalion will be personally commanded by me to greet the 28th Regiment, and immediately go south to set up a mobile ambush on the south bank of the Haihar River to look for fighter planes."
Naturally, the two regiment commanders had no objections to Wang Deyao's deployment. Yang Jicai, who had just been transferred from Rehe and served as the chief of staff of the Aruhorqin Banner Defense Area, raised objections: "Commander Wang, I don't agree with your deployment."
No objection. But as the top military commander of the Alukorqin Banner War Zone, I don’t think it is appropriate for you to personally command this ambush."
"Whether the Alukorqin Banner is attacking or defending, your responsibility is to command the entire battlefield, not to command one direction alone. You should never leave your command position now, because our enemy is not just a twenty-eight-year-old
Wing. What if you personally take command and the enemy situation changes in the other two directions?"
"It's not that I don't believe in the ability of a regiment commander. However, the dispatch and command of the entire battlefield is not the responsibility and authority of a regiment commander, but the responsibility of you, the theater commander. If your responsibilities are fulfilled, a regiment commander can take over.
Then the headquarters will not use a special plane to transfer you all the way from Nanxing'an."
"The battle situation is always changing. Who can guarantee that the Seventh Division will not adjust its deployment and must act according to the original plan? If when you attack the Haihar River, the other two regiments of the Seventh Division will be transferred
direction, directly inserting the left flag of Bahrain. You are not in the command position at the critical moment, what do you want the commander of the regiment to do? How should he adjust his deployment to face the adjustments of the Japanese army?"
