Chapter two hundred and ninetieth must be played out
Liu Changshun was startled when he heard the extremely familiar cold voice coming from behind him. He quickly turned around and saw Yang Zhen, who had arrived at an unknown time, standing behind him and looking at him coldly. He was startled.
Liu Changshun, who was greatly shocked, quickly stumbled and explained: "Commander, I didn't mean that. [.Com text] How dare I criticize the head of the headquarters behind his back."
After explaining with a guilty conscience, Liu Changshun suddenly reacted and became extremely happy. He ran to Yang Zhen and said with a smile: "Commander, your body has recovered? It's really great."
Yes. It has worried us all these days."
Seeing Liu Changshun's dog-legged look, Wang Xiaoming, Ma Chunsheng, and Chai Shirong all shook their heads. Why did this guy turn his face faster than he could flip through a book? Just now, he looked filled with righteous indignation. Now,
It has become more dog-legged than the Japanese Akita dog adopted by the commander.
Yang Zhen pushed aside Liu Changshun who was carefully following him with a smile, walked to the map and said: "Liu Changshun, I'm not in the mood, and I don't have the time to do such boring things with you. You have this time to flatter me, why don't you
Make a report on your current situation. Don’t be nagging, I want to give a brief and concise report."
Hearing that Yang Zhen wanted to listen to the report, Liu Changshun hurriedly walked to the map, pointed at the map and said: "Our brigade is now withdrawing to the general's stone line in accordance with the order of the chief of staff. However, the Japanese army is not following up very quickly. At present, it has only reached Junde.
Front line. Now after several days of fierce fighting, our brigade has suffered heavy casualties."
"The Fourth Regiment suffered two-thirds casualties, the Fifth Regiment suffered one-third casualties, and the Sixth Regiment suffered nearly half the casualties. Even if we add in the reinforcements of an additional battalion sent by the Chief of Staff, there are only more than one regiment of available troops left.
.Before the additional troops were in place, the Second Brigade had almost lost its combat effectiveness."
"Our current strength of the Japanese army is roughly around four infantry brigades, two artillery brigades, plus some cavalry, engineers and heavy transport troops. The total strength is about 5,000. Among them, there are 3,000 combat soldiers. After these days of fighting,
Although the casualties of our army were not small, the casualties of the Japanese army were not that light either."
"Although our brigade crippled two regiments in the previous battle, the casualties of the Japanese army were at least about 60% of our army. Commander, the combat effectiveness of this second division is indeed strong, and it is not comparable to the Japanese army we have seen before.
Even the 40th Regiment of the Japanese Army, which was said to be the most tenacious we encountered in the previous stage of the battle, could not compare with its tactical level and determination to fear no death."
"After their offensive was defeated, they stood in front of us and refused to retreat. Without fortifications, they used the corpses of the war dead to build mobile fortifications to shoot at us. Moreover, their infantry and artillery coordination capabilities were excellent, and their artillery dared to attack both the enemy and us.
The Japanese troops fired artillery at a distance of less than ten meters from each other. When the Japanese army launched a charge, the dust raised by their artillery shells had not yet dispersed. The accuracy of their artillery fire was extremely high, and many times they did not even need to correct their trajectory."
Regarding Liu Changshun's answer, Yang Zhen nodded with satisfaction and said: "Faced with the main force of the Second Division, it is considered good that you can reach this point. This Second Division is the first batch of qualifications established by the Japanese army.
The oldest division. It performed well both during the Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War."
"On the Guan Civil War battlefield after the July 7th Incident, the 16th Regiment deployed by the Second Division once defeated a reorganized division of the Japanese Army. When retreating from the Xuzhou Battle, it was this 16th Regiment that dared to
A mere regiment of troops launches a pursuit against an army. Its combat effectiveness and ferocious style are mediocre."
"In addition, the Japanese army has an absolute superiority in ground and air firepower, and they have been fighting on a flat plain. The casualties of your two regiments, it is already very rare to be able to defeat the two other brigades. This time, Wang Guangyu fought against twenty
There is no comparison with the blocking battle of the Fourth Division."
"Last time, the 24th Division was not familiar with our army's combat style and was almost completely defenseless, so Wang Guangyu was able to adopt the tactic of moving and setting up ambush. Moreover, the 24th Division adopted the tactics of gradually increasing troops at that time. Wang Guangyu
The pressure on Guangyu is not as great as yours this time. The most important thing is that the combat effectiveness of the 24th Division is much worse than that of the Second Division."
"Since the Twenty-Fourth Division was just formed, the three regiments were all mobilized together later. The internal cooperation and collaborative combat capabilities are far inferior to that of the Second Division. Its division headquarters was defeated by our army.
After that, we lost cooperation with each other and could only fight on our own, which gave us the opportunity to annihilate them one by one."
Having said this, Yang Zhen looked at Liu Changshun and the other four and said, "I know that your Second Brigade has suffered heavy losses and is in urgent need of additional troops. But I can only replenish one regiment for you now. As for other additional troops, we can only wait for this battle."
After it’s over, we’ll make a decision based on the situation.”
Hearing that Yang Zhen could only replenish the strength of one regiment, Liu Changshun immediately said anxiously: "Commander, can you have more troops? Look at our brigade as the main force, and there will be a counterattack soon. What do you do?"
We have to make up for it. We are not greedy, we just need to make up the difference."
Liu Changshun complained, Yang Zhen shook his head and said: "The landlord's family has no surplus food. Although our current base area is not small, the population is not large. The ten independent regiments recruited in the previous stage have already combined the entire
The potential of the soldiers in the base area has been tapped."
"If there are more, it will affect the normal production in the base area. Without labor, who will farm the land? The arsenal also needs a large number of workers. Although the number of puppet Manchukuo soldiers captured in the battle is quite large, now they are all
Replenish troops. The first brigade was reduced to nothing in the previous battle, and just replenishing them consumed the strength of two independent regiments."
"As well as replenishing your and Du Kaishan's troops, as well as replenishing the losses in the previous period, it also consumed the few supplementary troops we had on hand. Therefore, the headquarters also lacks supplementary troops this time. We must fight out,
Otherwise, if we are trapped here, the Japanese army will not need to attack us, and we will be trapped to death even if we are trapped."
After that, Yang Zhen said with emotion: "Although our base area is not too small now, after several internal battles, we have suffered extremely hard. After the two wars, our most important food has always been the main battlefield.
The production area, the area north of the Songhua River in Tangyuan, has almost become a white field. This year’s grain harvest can almost be said to have been exhausted.”
"Several counties with a combined population of less than 200,000 have to support an army of 40,000 to 50,000 people including local troops. The people are already overwhelmed. In just half a year, soldiers, food, etc.
The material potential has been exhausted. If we cannot get out before winter, it will be difficult for us to survive this winter."
Yang Zhen took a look and knew that it was almost impossible to know more, but Liu Changshun said with a frown: "Okay, don't pretend anymore. I still know what's in your kid's belly. When necessary,
I will make a decision at my discretion. I won’t be able to treat you badly when the time comes.”
Having said this, Yang Zhen pointed to the map and said to the commanders of the Second Brigade in front of him: "Now I am announcing an order from the headquarters. The headquarters is determined to concentrate the forces of two brigades, three independent regiments and most of the main artillery force first."
This second division is the main force that attacks General Shi's front line. It focuses on surveillance and defense for the rest of the Japanese army."
"Eat all the 2nd Division. We are already tired of the veterans and we don't have such a good appetite. We don't have the ability now. So the headquarters is determined to adopt the tactic of knocking the mountain to shake the tiger, and concentrate the absolute superior force to destroy the 2nd Division in the middle first.
The main force. As long as this main force of the Second Division is destroyed, the other Japanese armies will retreat without a fight."
"Now the third brigade that was originally on the front line of Haoliang River is rushing here on a starry night. The first brigade and three independent regiments have already attacked from Qunce Mountain, bypassing the main force of the Japanese Second Division. Your troops have arrived from the third brigade.
After that, the general's first-line position of Shi was immediately handed over to Du Kaishan and moved westward."
Hearing that Yang Zhen transferred himself away from the main battlefield, Liu Changshun was stunned and said: "To the west? Where to go? Commander, didn't you say that we should first attack the main force of the Japanese Second Division in front of us? This is not the right way to fight a tough battle.
Is this the strength of our brigade? Why are we being transferred away now?
"Xiangxi, you want us to block the Japanese roundabout detachment? Aren't they just on the flank of Wang Guangyu? Why did you send us there?" Liu Changshun was not stupid. As soon as Yang Zhen said that he would send his Second Brigade to move westward, he responded immediately.
What does Yang Zhen mean by coming here?
Seeing Liu Changshun's reluctance, Yang Zhen smiled slightly and said: "The Japanese Second Division has a strong fighting capacity. Although the number of enemies we face is not large, there are only five brigades, but if we want to eat them all in one go,
We must concentrate our forces to the maximum extent possible.”
"The Second Brigade suffered a lot of casualties in the previous battle, and now it is difficult to replenish troops. We can only withdraw you first and use Du Kaishan to replace you. Under the current situation where our troops have been used to the extreme, the headquarters cannot let you go.
You guys come down and rest."
"The Japanese roundabout troops can only add up to three infantry brigades, and their firepower distribution cannot be compared with the frontal enemy. If you block them, your pressure will be much less. It is very suitable for the current situation of your troops. Now we can no longer bear Wang Guangyu's presence
General Shi Xian was so consumed."
Although Yang Zhen's words had been very thorough, Liu Changshun still refused to give up and said to Yang Zhen: "Commander, our second brigade is the main force. Compared with the first brigade, we are better at offensive combat. That battle was not
Our second brigade is the main attacker? If you withdraw us at this time and transfer us to the western front, wouldn't that weaken the attack strength?"
"You have to know that our Second Brigade has mainly fought tough battles since its formation. Our offensive capability is the strongest among the three main brigades. Do you think it is better to leave the task of blocking the Japanese roundabout troops to the First Brigade? They are better at it.
We're fighting that kind of positional battle. Besides, we've been gnawing on bones for so long, so you should give us some meat to eat, right?"
Looking at Liu Changshun's shameless look, Yang Zhen smiled bitterly, but said firmly: "No, the plan has been decided and will not be changed. You will hand it over to Du Kaishan immediately, you two
The brigade must move westward as quickly as possible and spread across the entire upper reaches of the Nada River."
"I told Liu Changshun, don't joke with me here. We are attacking the main force of the Second Division. After learning that the main force of the division was besieged by our army, its outflanking troops must do their best to rescue. The battles in these days
Come down, you already have an idea in your mind about the combat effectiveness of the Second Division. Why else would you and I waste so much talk? Do you think I am very free?"
"Let me tell you, even if your Second Brigade is defeated by me, you must firmly block the Japanese roundabout troops from Nanshan to Wudaogang. Your Second Brigade must be stuck like nails.
Stay on the detour route of the Japanese army's detachment towards our flanks to ensure that the main force completes the encirclement and annihilation of the main force of the Japanese Second Division on the Junde front line. If you can't withstand it, be careful with your head."
Hearing that Yang Zhen's tone did not sound like a joke, Liu Changshun did not dare to argue. He nodded quickly and said: "Commander, please rest assured, even if the Second Brigade is exhausted, the Japanese roundabout detachment will still be blocked at the line from Nanshan to Wudaogang."
, to ensure that the flanks of the main force are not threatened by any threat."
Although Liu Changshun's assurance was very dissatisfying to Yang Zhen, it also made him more or less relieved. This guy is sometimes a little bit ink, and he is always too cautious. It is precisely for this reason that Yang Zhen is
The reason why they did not hesitate to waste time and transferred the Second Brigade to block the attack. If Du Kaishan went to the mountain, this guy might get into an offensive battle with the Japanese outflanking troops.
It's not that Yang Zhen is afraid of the Japanese roundabout detachment, but the troops that have been through the battle have suffered serious losses and it is very difficult to replenish their troops. He can no longer bear the heavy losses. Unlike the Japanese army, he can get a steady stream of support from the rear.
, no matter how great the loss is, the troops and equipment can be replenished in a short time.
And it can almost be said that in the sparsely populated Northern Manchuria, fighting alone, not only did one of his equipment break, but one was missing. Even after a big battle, it was very difficult to replenish the soldiers. The total population was only over 200,000, and qualified people
Replacement troops do not even account for one-fifth.
The ten independent regiments and two supplementary regiments he formed before the war have almost exhausted the potential of qualified soldiers in the base area. If he continues to dig deeper, he will not only affect the people's hearts, but also shake his own foundation. This is not a place with a large population, but ordinary people.
The base area within the pass with high awareness is a sparsely populated and bitter cold place in northern Manchuria.
It is not just a matter of whether the masses are willing to serve as soldiers, but the limited population base alone is far from being able to support a large-scale army. Can we now fight out and use the enemy-occupied areas as our own base to replenish our soldiers and supplies? Or even
Expanding the base area has become a matter of life and death for the army. The key to solving this problem lies in the current Second Division.
