Having said this, Wang Guangyu hesitated for a while and finally said firmly: "Go and report the detailed battle situation of Alukorqin Banner to the headquarters without any omissions. At the same time, he ordered Yang Jicai to leave after the troops arrived, except what he thought
In addition to the appropriate force to surround and annihilate the remaining enemy forces, he commanded the remaining force to forcibly penetrate the Wengniute Left Banner and make a detour."
"Tell him that it is up to him to decide how many troops he will leave in Alukorqin Banner. But he must leave a reliable commander to lead the subsequent battle. In addition, I will give him additional troops in the shortest possible time.
One thousand rounds of 75 mountain field guns, 100 grenades, 500 107 rockets, and 200 155 grenades."
"As for the 122 rockets, we don't have any left here. Tell him that this is the most supplementary ammunition the column can get now, and ask him not to be so lavish that he doesn't know how to save. It will take him an hour to fire them out.
Thousands of artillery shells. Even the column commander like me can’t produce this skill, and I’m not as capable as him.”
"The landlord has no food left now. If it's all gone, I won't have anywhere for him to replenish it. The next time the headquarters replenishes the cannonballs, it will take three days. I can't give him all the cannonballs in one direction.
.Tell him that these shells are the most I can replenish for him before the entire campaign is over."
""And our old second-hand cannons can't withstand such high-intensity use. If he uses them like this, how many of these artillery pieces that are approaching the end of their service life will be left for me after a battle? How much of ours can we use?
Artillery, especially heavy artillery, is a piece of artillery and a screw. Except for those captured on the battlefield, we cannot make them ourselves. If you lose one, you will lose one."
"In addition, you order the aviation units at Linxi Airport to completely stop providing air support to the Alukorqin Banner Battlefield and Linxi Battlefield. Except for the fighter units that are left on necessary duty, all bomber units are now stopped. The rest
All pilots have gone to rest and are waiting for my new orders."
"Tell them to seize the time to stock up on fuel and aerial bombs, especially napalm bombs, and ensure that they can be used for seven days. Also tell them to seize the time to inspect and maintain the aircraft. They must be able to ensure that after receiving the order,
High-intensity sorties required for combat."
Hearing that Wang Guangyu actually agreed to Yang Jicai's idea, Sun Wenjiu hesitated and said: "Commander Wang, did you ask the headquarters for instructions on making this decision? I still said the same thing, doing this almost overturned the original plan. We did it
It is so big that it cannot be done without the approval of the headquarters. This not only involves our own battlefield, but also affects the overall deployment of the headquarters."
Regarding Sun Wenjiu's concerns, Wang Guangyu waved his hand and said: "It's too late to wait for the headquarters' approval. Soldiers are very fast. We kept going back and forth. By the time the headquarters' approval came down, all the day lilies were cold. While reporting,
We will adjust the deployment at the same time. Once the adjustment is completed, we will start taking action regardless of whether the headquarters approves it or not."
"Also, you send a report to Chen Hanzhang, ask them about the situation there, and inform them of the situation on our side. If the situation on their side allows, then start the action with us. In addition, if they are there
If necessary, we can provide some air support."
Seeing Wang Guangyu's resolute attitude, Sun Wenjiu said nothing more. Although he believed that adjustments like this should wait until the headquarters gives a reply before implementing them. Taking unauthorized actions is a violation of discipline. But as the chief military officer, Wang Guangyu's attitude
Resolutely, he, the chief of staff, could only obey.
After receiving these telegrams from Wang Guangyu, Guo Bingxun handed Wang Guangyu's report on the battle situation in Aruhorqin Banner to Yang Zhen and said in a dumbfounded voice: "It's true that a tiger brother has no canine brother. No. 1, your brother is amazing. Chapter 1
What division is the Seventh Division? It is a veteran division of the Japanese army that participated in the Russo-Japanese War."
"Although the ferocity and qualifications of the Japanese ace divisions such as the Sixth Division are not as good as those of the Second Division, the sophistication of their equipment is not as good as that of the Fifth Division, but they are also veteran divisions of the Japanese army. Both in terms of combat effectiveness and equipment.
, can be said to be considered an elite division of the Japanese army."
"Your brother, in just one night and one morning, almost destroyed this old division. In just one morning today, he killed four to five thousand Japanese troops, which is almost equivalent to two Japanese alliances.
The strength of the team has been reduced. Coupled with the 28th Regiment that Wang Deyao defeated on the Zagastanol line last night, this 7th Division now only has a skeleton left."
"Good fellow, in just one hour, tens of thousands of artillery shells were fired, killing four to five thousand Japanese troops. With this skill and courage, none of our division commanders can compare, but no one can match it. Now
Even with a disadvantaged force, he actually took the lead in launching a counterattack against the Japanese army. This is really courageous. Even so, he actually took advantage of him."
After hearing Guo Bingxun's words, Yang Zhen, who had just put down his hand to call the aviation force who was engaged in a fierce air battle with the Japanese army, was slightly startled. After receiving the telegram and reading it quickly, the expression on his face was no better than that of Guo Bingxun.
Where to go? He really didn't know whether to reward his younger brother or give him a severe criticism.
This kid, no wonder both Guo Bingxun and Wang Guangyu say that he is bold, clever, quick to react, and has many clever ideas. The most important thing is his brain work, and his strong adaptability. From what Wang Guangyu reported last night to today
Judging from the early battles, the two people's evaluation of him can be said to be quite accurate.
It was a complete division of the Japanese army with three infantry regiments, one each for search, engineering, baggage, and artillery. It took him one night and one morning to put it together.
Bones. Within an hour, four to five thousand enemy troops were killed and wounded. Although the waste was a bit serious, this efficiency was not bad.
Except for the 28th Regiment, the number of casualties is currently unknown. There are two infantry regiments, one each for the baggage regiment and the engineering regiment. So many troops. In addition to the strength of the 7th Division yesterday afternoon, Siramu
In addition to the fire and sea tactical casualties he encountered after falling into the river, he was almost exhausted bit by bit.
No division commander in the Anti-Japanese Alliance has such a record. Even yesterday afternoon and evening, the Japanese army lost more than 3,000 troops under the attack of ground and air firepower. But the remaining results are still enough.
It's scary. Besides the artillery that has an absolute advantage, the actual force he can use is only one regiment.
If we go by the results of yesterday's and today's battles, this boy's battle cannot even be rated as exciting. Although there are some objective reasons, after all, the results are there. It's just that this boy fought happily, but
The entire battle plan for the Linxi battlefield that was originally formulated was completely ruined.
Putting down the telegram in his hand, Yang Zhen looked at the map for a long time but shook his head and said to Guo Bingxun: "Old Guo, give Wang Guangyu an order. Agree with him to leave some of his troops to deal with the remaining enemies in the Aru Horqin Banner, and concentrate on the original
Set up an ambush in the Arukorqin Banner to deal with the troops of the 7th Division, form a rapid group, and insert it directly into the Wengniute Left Banner."
Looking at Guo Bingxun who was slightly stunned after hearing his answer, Yang Zhen said with a wry smile: "The posture of the Seventh Division on the entire battlefield actually serves as a link between the past and the following. In other words, in addition to dividing the two battlefields in Western Manchuria,
In addition to possible connections between departments, it also plays a coordinating role between the Linxi battlefield and the Kailu battlefield. Although its tactical role is not great, it is at a key strategic node."
"This kid Yang Jicai has reduced the 7th Division to a skeleton, and may even annihilate the main force of the 7th Division within the Aruhorqin Banner. Even if we now implement a full range of Japanese radio communications in the entire Western Manchu battlefield
interference, but it is impossible for the Japanese army to not notice this situation at all."
"Once the 7th Division is lost, it will have a great impact on the Japanese army's next move in the entire Western Manchuria war. We are currently unable to determine whether the Japanese army's follow-up action will be to deploy reserve forces for reinforcements or to evacuate from the Linxi battlefield. But
As long as our army seizes the Wengniute Left Banner, the Japanese army's gates for reinforcements and retreats will all be blocked by our army."
"Although seizing the Wengniute Left Banner now will have a considerable impact on both the Linxi battlefield and the Kailu battlefield. It may even have a fatal impact on our army's next operations. But we are no longer able to
If you make a choice, even if you know it’s disadvantageous, you still have to make this move.”
Yang Zhen's words made Guo Bingxun fall into deep thought. After a long time, Guo Bingxun said: "One move can affect the whole body. The Japanese army was too cautious in counterattacking on the Linxi battlefield, which we did not expect before. If the two Japanese divisions in front of Linxi
If the group's movements can be bolder, we won't have the current worries."
"However, the Japanese army's comprehensive counterattack only started yesterday, and even now it is less than forty hours. It is impossible to clearly judge the Japanese army's follow-up actions now. Now intersperse the Wengniute Left Banner, we are
Isn't it a bit too hasty? On the 1st, I suggest that it is better to wait and see what the Japanese army will choose next."
"Furthermore, the terrain inside Wengniute Left Banner is relatively more complicated. We will mobilize the troops originally stationed in Aruhorqin Banner to form a mechanized cavalry rapid group and forcibly detour towards Wengniute Left Banner. Will it happen?
Is it because the terrain is too complex to be fully effective?”
Guo Bingxun advocated for more cautious suggestions. Yang Zhen thought about it carefully, but still shook his head slightly and said: "Lao Guo's entire battlefield situation has undergone fundamental changes due to the changes in the war in the direction of Alukorqin Banner. It is no longer the case.
The question of whether we should act or not is that the changes in the war situation require us to act in advance."
"Although the Seventh Division is a partial division, its position is very critical. After the Seventh Division is wiped out, if the Kwantung Army wants to continue the current war situation, it will inevitably recruit new divisions from the reserve to supplement it.
Go up. And the new force coming to fill this vacancy is not necessarily a division."
"The Kwantung Army currently has at least five divisions in its reserves, and it can deploy new divisions to reinforce the Kwantung Army at any time in the Kwantung and the mainland. However, we have put all our effective forces into the battlefield. Headquarters
The reserve team in hand has basically been mobilized now."
"If the Japanese army reinforces a large number of troops in the Western Manchuria area, our army, except for Du Kaishan behind Chen Hanzhang, will have no troops to mobilize. So from now on we must firmly grasp the initiative of the entire campaign.
It is in our hands. Now is the time when we and the Japanese army have truly reached a critical point in this battle."
