Now that the two people have reached an agreement, there is nothing to delay. Wang Guangyu did not have a fake staff and personally drafted a report to the headquarters. He reported the current situation of the entire Linxi battlefield, including the Alhorqin Banner battlefield, to
Yang Zhen and Guo Bingxun made a detailed report.
At the same time, in the report, Wang Guangyu also put forward ideas for solving the dilemma based on his own ideas, and also wrote down the possible follow-up effects of launching a counterattack in advance. In Wang Guangyu’s view, Yi Jianping’s words are correct.
. To alert the snake from the grass, it also depends on the situation.
If the attack on the Seventh Division really caused the two Japanese divisions on the front of the Linxi battlefield to be shaken or even disengaged, it would affect the entire layout of the headquarters on the Ximan battlefield. After all, the Japanese troops of the two divisions
, it will be quite stressful no matter where you put it.
In fact, Wang Guangyu never understood why the headquarters insisted on attacking the 7th Division first when facing the Japanese counterattack. Yi Jianping was right. If the 7th Division was attacked first, it would be easy.
Cause a chain reaction. That would be the real way to alert the enemy, which is why he and Yi Jianping reached an agreement in such a short period of time.
But he and Yi Jianping didn't quite understand the headquarters' thoughts. Because they were the commanders of the entire Linxi battlefield, they had a certain understanding of the current battle situation. The battle situation during the day and tonight had already shown that,
Although the three divisions of the Japanese army are in different locations, they are coordinated and orderly with each other.
Except for the seventh division, which is slightly special due to its location, the other two divisions almost go in and out at the same time. The progress of the daily attacks can be said to be in the same pace. The attack distance between the two divisions is even
No more than fifteen kilometers. Even in accordance with the headquarters' requirements, the 7th Division must be dealt with first.
But those two divisions will definitely make adjustments under the grief of rabbits and foxes. Either they will completely huddle together, or they will retreat quickly, or even turn around to rescue the 7th Division. No matter what happens to the two Japanese divisions in front of them,
Adjustments mean that the next battle will be quite difficult.
If they counterattack first and encircle the two Japanese divisions in front of them, and the 7th Division wants to rescue them, I'm afraid they don't have the strength yet. One division is not too much pressure for Wang Guangyu. What's more, it is still being attacked by the aviation force.
Together with the heavy artillery units, a half-broken division has been destroyed.
Instead of attacking the 7th Division first and alerting the main force of the Japanese army, it is better to attack first and concentrate the main force to attack the two divisions in the front. This is the idea of all the commanders of the outflanking force such as Wang Guangyu, Yi Jianping and Sun Wenjiu. It’s just that
After receiving detailed enemy information on the Linxi battlefield, the headquarters repeatedly asked Wang Guangyu to first attack the entire 7th Division on the flank of the battlefield.
Although he could not figure out the true attitude of the headquarters, Wang Guangyu could only come up with a combat plan based on the requirements of the headquarters. However, Wang Guangyu was really unwilling to do this at the expense of the basics. Only then did he formulate a plan to complete the task.
After the 7th Division was encircled, they gathered some tanks and cavalry groups to force the plan to outflank the Wengniute Banner.
Wang Deyao's unauthorized attack this time disrupted the entire combat plan. Now that Wang Guangyu had calmed down completely, he suddenly remembered that this was not all a bad thing. If the headquarters could be persuaded to modify the combat plan, it would still be Lin Xi who faced the Japanese army.
It's a good thing. So Wang Guangyu drafted this telegram in great detail.
However, after considering the situation on the battlefield and the call back from the headquarters, Wang Guangyu drafted a telegram to the headquarters and issued an order to the troops waiting in hiding in the Zalut Banner to prepare for battle. At the same time, he ordered the troops in the Zalut Banner to be prepared to forcibly pull westward.
Preparations for crossing along the Mulun River.
For Wang Guangyu, no matter what the headquarters' answer is, he must prepare for combat in advance, especially preparations to launch a siege on the 7th Division in advance. If the headquarters answers, he should attack the 7th Division first.
It is better to prepare in advance now than to make temporary arrangements.
After drafting the telegram to the headquarters and the Zalut Banner standby troops, Wang Guangyu hesitated again. Then he personally called Li Mingfeng in front, telling the two Japanese divisions who were closely monitoring the front of the Linxi battlefield every move. He emphasized again and again.
, even the transfer of a squadron must be reported within the shortest possible time.
While Wang Guangyu drafted a telegram to the headquarters and issued continuous orders to the surrounding troops of the 7th Division, Yi Jianping, who only brought a guard squad and a radio station, took a car and went straight to the Bala Chirud front line at starry night.
In order to arrive in the shortest possible time, Yi Jianping did not go to the safer Bahrain Left Banner, which was still in the rear, but directly passed through the Bahrain Right Banner, which is adjacent to the battlefield.
It is quite dangerous for Yi Jianping to do this under the current fierce fighting on the front line. Compared with the relatively weak artillery firepower of the 7th Division, the number of artillery deployed by the Japanese army in front of Linxi battlefield, which has been strengthened by the Japanese army, especially
The number of heavy artillery is almost equal to that of the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
Although the range of large-caliber artillery is not as good as that of Linxi, the Soviet-made 152mm howitzer and 122mm howitzer used by the Bahrain Right Banner in the frontal resistance are also not as dense as the 122mm rocket launcher. However, the Taisho Ten attached to it is
Although the number of Type 4 cannons, Type 91 105mm cannons, and Type 150mm cannons are not large, their larger ranges pose a considerable threat to the depth of the alliance.
Although the number of Soviet-made 152mm howitzers of the Anti-Japanese Alliance was not large, their range and power were far from being comparable to the French-made 155mm howitzers and Taisho 4-year-style 150mm grenades equipped by the Japanese army.
During this battle, due to the lack of aviation cover, the Japanese army organized the cannons with the longest range into several artillery groups, specifically used to suppress the front and depth of Linxi, an anti-league force.
Forward fire support is mostly handed over to mountain artillery and Taisho 4th-year-old 150mm howitzers or French 155 howitzers. The artillery of the Anti-Japanese Alliance has a clear division of labor, and rocket launchers are responsible for attacking Japanese army clusters. Large-caliber
Howitzers were responsible for suppressing Japanese troops in depth.
However, due to the lack of long-range cannons, long-range suppression tasks are performed by Soviet-made howitzers with long range and high power. In addition, the number of Soviet-made artillery shells is currently insufficient, so they are generally only fired at night. For large-depth daytime suppression tasks, then
It consisted of two squadrons of Su-2 light bombers and one squadron, which at this time had been changed to specialize in ground attack fighters.
After all this, between the enemy and us on the frontal battlefield of Linxi, the area within ten kilometers of the Anti-Japanese Army and the depth of twenty kilometers of the Japanese army were almost all the opponent's artillery blockade areas. After a day and a fierce battle in the middle of the night,
There are craters everywhere in the entire depth between the enemy and us.
Not only the threat of artillery fire, but also the infiltration of enemy squads is a considerable threat. And the jeep with its headlights turned on is a very obvious target at night. If you are not careful, you will not be caught.
If it is blown into parts by artillery fire, it means it may be attacked by a Japanese squad.
Needless to say, there are bomb craters everywhere on the simple kilometer, which will bring fatal danger to the small army led by Yi Jianping at any time. However, although I cannot say that I am anxious at this moment, I am also worried.
Yi Jianping, who was eager to understand the situation, couldn't care less. He looked at the morning star that had appeared in the sky and urged the driver around him to speed up.
Fortunately, although we are less than ten kilometers away from the forward position, it is still night after all. The Japanese heavy artillery is also focusing more on the front line at this moment. The fire blockade on the rear of the front-line troops is far from tight. And
The Japanese squad that might have infiltrated for reconnaissance might not have had the opportunity to make a move, or might not have cared about this small convoy consisting of a jeep and a truck.
However, although along the way, apart from a few blindly fired artillery shells, he did not encounter too many dangers. But Yi Jianping, who was in a hurry to rush to Balaqirud, did not consider these dangers along the way.
Although the car almost fell into a bomb crater, it seemed a bit thrilling. But after driving for nearly four and a half hours, Yi Jianping still arrived at Yang Jicai's location without any danger.
Yang Jicai was not too surprised by Yi Jianping's sudden arrival. In fact, as early as the somewhat vague telegram was sent, he thought that his superiors would definitely send someone. But he thought it was coming.
It would be Chief of Staff Sun Wenjiu, but the person who didn't expect to come would be the political commissar.
Looking at Yang Jicai who was not very surprised, Yi Jianping walked to the bonfire and stretched out his hands to the fire. After relaxing his hands for a while, he said: "Tell me what you think. Oh, just put your vague letter
I said everything I wanted to say in the telegram but didn't make it clear."
"I know you didn't explain many things clearly in the telegram. You are a combat staff officer, so you should know how to report the war situation. This vague telegram is not at your true level. I am here just to listen.
Let me listen to your true thoughts. Also, what is the actual situation over there with the Second Regiment? What is it like now, and whether they have withdrawn safely now."
After getting straight to the point, Yi Jianping seemed a little unconcerned, but he said in a voice that Yang Jicai could clearly hear: "The weather in Ximanchu is really weird. It's just early autumn and it's so cold at night. Sitting in an open-top jeep.
After several hours, it was like sitting naked in cold water, my hands and feet were almost frozen."
What Yi Jianping said next made Yang Jicai stunned. For a moment, he didn't understand the meaning of Yang Jicai's words. But facing Yi Jianping's eyes that seemed to understand everything, Yang Jicai felt a little unnatural. This
He had only seen this look in the eyes of his elder brother and Chief of Staff Guo. Now Political Commissar Yi glanced at him with such a look, making him feel that he could not hide anything from these eyes.
Yang Jicai, who was somewhat uncomfortable being stared at by Yi Jianping's all-seeing eyes, smiled bitterly when he heard this and said: "Political Commissar, I am not being vague and want to fool my superiors. I have to report the situation at that time. Aruhorqin Banner Battlefield
The highest military commander on the battlefield died, and a regiment of troops was isolated on that side of the entire battlefield."
"Furthermore, during the several hours of melee, this regiment suffered heavy casualties. It is still unclear how much combat power the regiment has left. And now my regiment's troops have to face the attack of two entire regiments of the Japanese army. It is slightly different.
Once the Japanese army breaks through the Bala Chirud line, our army will be completely passive."
"If I concealed the relatively critical battle situation at the moment, it would be the biggest mistake to my superiors. But the reason why I didn't say it too obviously in the telegram is because I haven't thought about the next move yet. And the Second Regiment
Regarding the situation on the side, I have reported everything I know to the column. No matter how much I know, we can only learn about it after they withdraw."
