As soon as the intensity of the Japanese attack began to show signs of decline, Du Kaishan felt it keenly. He immediately mobilized all two battalions who had been recuperating all night behind, preparing to launch a counterattack. [.Com text] and met with Tao Jingfei
, Ma Chunsheng and Chai Shirong discussed a counterattack plan.
Du Kaishan's meaning is very obvious. No matter whether the Japanese Katayama detachment is willing or not, he cannot concentrate all the troops on his side. Whether it is Wang Guangyu's main force on the front line of Wangshazitun, or the brigade and regiment on the front line of Fuguitun.
, all dispersed his huge strength. Now that the Katayama detachment, which is surrounded by enemies on three sides, can devote its frontal forces, at most two brigades can bear the sky. In the fierce battle last night, although a battalion took over the defense of the independent regiment,
The casualties reached two-thirds, but Du Kaishan estimated that the Japanese army had lost at least two squadrons of troops. This did not include the squadron that was defeated by Ma Chunsheng on the main position. Now the little Japanese was pulling and pulling, could he
One brigade of mobile troops was overwhelmed.
However, Du Kaishan decisively rejected the idea of a frontal counterattack suggested by Chai Shirong. In his opinion, it was too uncreative. Looking at the few people around him, Du Kaishan said lazily: "A frontal counterattack, how can we fight?"
Is this a creative battle? As others have said, that is not our style. If we want to fight, we should surprise him. In the words of the commander, that is called innovation."
After Du Kaishan finished speaking, except for Tao Jingfei who knew him very well, both Chai Shirong and Ma Chunsheng looked at him as if they were looking at monsters. This war is a war, what kind of innovation can be done? What's more, the front is like this
Da, even if you, Du Kaishan, are capable, what other tricks can you come up with?
However, Ma Chunsheng was more experienced and experienced. After looking at the map for a while, he immediately figured out the general intention of the third brigade commander in front of him who often seemed silent but could choke people to death when he spoke.
After trying to understand what he was thinking, Ma Chunsheng said with some surprise: "Brigadier Du, are you stretching your hand too far? The combat area over there is now the combat range of the first brigade. You are going to Lao Wang's side to grab it.
Eat, eat.”
In response to Ma Chunsheng's surprise, Du Kaishan waved his hand and said: "Whoever fights is not the one to fight. Besides, I chose where to attack to help him, Lao Wang. The devils on his side made it clear that they only have the strength of two brigades. He
The two main groups of the first brigade fought for a long time and a whole night without being able to capture it. They even attacked the first brigade. I will be embarrassed for him if I tell you."
Before Du Kaishan could finish his triumphant words, a kick came from behind and kicked Du Kaishan, who was squatting in front of the map. Du Kaishan, who was stunned by the kick, was about to open his mouth, but turned around to see the person who kicked him.
, he swallowed the words he was about to curse. He immediately stood up, stood at attention, straightened his body like a javelin, and stopped making a sound.
When Tao Jingfei and others saw that the person who kicked Du Kaishan was Yang Zhen who arrived at some unknown time, they all stood up quickly, stood at attention and shut up, no one dared to say a word.
Chai Shirong and Ma Chunsheng still didn't care. Tao Jingfei and Du Kaishan looked at each other awkwardly and whispered: "Commander, you are here. Your body has recovered, uh, you look good."
Hearing Tao Jingfei's greeting, Yang Zhen had no expression on his face and said in a cold tone: "Fortunately, with Marx's blessing, I finally didn't get mad at you. The third brigade and the two of you did a great job, very good, courageous
It’s really big.”
Yang Zhen's words seemed to praise the two people, but his tone sounded frighteningly cold. Yang Zhen's words made Du Kaishan and Tao Jingfei even more embarrassed. They could only stand aside honestly without even explaining.
Dare to explain.
Seeing the two people standing there honestly and listening to the training, Yang Zhen's anger subsided a little. But he still didn't give the two people a good look. Yang Zhen did not object to the competitiveness between the previous brigade commanders.
There was even some disguised encouragement. But this was on the premise that it would not affect the headquarters' campaign and the overall deployment of the battle. But this time the two people acted without orders and disrupted the overall deployment of the headquarters. It was really a big deal.
Looking at Du Kaishan and Tao Jingfei who were standing aside in embarrassment and not daring to speak, as well as the commander's livid face, he immediately understood that these two guys must have attacked without orders when they went south this time. Chai Shirong is still a kind person. In the report
At that time, I explained to the two people and emphasized that if the third brigade had not arrived in time, I am afraid that the current defense would have been broken through by the Japanese army.
Chai Shirong's explanation made Yang Zhen's expression soften somewhat. However, his expression softened, but in Yang Zhen's heart, he had already made a decision. No matter how much contribution the two people made in this battle, they must be punished accordingly.
Give, the merits and demerits must not be offset by the merits.
In Yang Zhen's view, this kind of disobedience to orders and unauthorized actions that disrupt the overall deployment must be curbed. The army is a whole, and it must not be allowed to allow a certain person or a certain unit to act recklessly. If they are not given this opportunity this time,
If two people are punished one by one, if others follow suit in the future, how can we fight this battle?
Especially for people like Du Kaishan who appear to be docile on the surface, but actually have a rebellious character in their hearts. If you use this kind of person well, he will be a general. If you use him poorly, he will bring you endless troubles.
trouble. If he indulges them, he will only destroy himself in the future. But what kind of punishment he will give them will have to wait until the battle is over. The war is still important right now.
After making up his mind, Yang Zhen turned to Du Kaishan and said in a slightly slower tone: "Speak out your counterattack ideas, and we can discuss it. Let's see how feasible it is?"
Hearing this, Du Kaishan quickly walked to the map and pointed at it and said: "Commander, you see that the strength of the Japanese roundabout detachment is two complete infantry brigades plus four infantry squadrons. In addition, Yasui Fujiji originally stayed in Xihe
, the six squadrons on the front line of Fuguitun. Their total strength, excluding artillery and cavalry, has reached the size of two infantry brigades plus ten infantry squadrons."
"According to the establishment of the Japanese army, the combined strength of these troops has exceeded the combined strength of a Japanese field regiment. We want to swallow it in one gulp. Judging from the combat effectiveness of this second division, it is a bit difficult. But now for us
The biggest advantage is that these Japanese troops are not concentrated together at the moment. Instead, they are divided into three large groups. Although they can coordinate with each other, they also leave us room to make detours."
"On the front line of Wangshazitun, an infantry brigade and four infantry squadrons commanded by the commander of the 4th Infantry Regiment, Colonel Sugino Yan, are engaged in a fierce battle with the 2nd and 3rd regiments of Wang Guangyu's 1st Brigade. In front of us is Katayama
A group of two infantry squadrons was reinforced under the personal command of Major General Shozaburo."
"In Fuguitun on the easternmost side of the entire battlefield, there are four Japanese infantry squadrons in front of the regiment. Looking at the entire battlefield, Wang Guangyu's Japanese troops on the western front have the largest number of troops, while the Japanese troops on the eastern front in Fuguitun are the weakest.
.So my idea is to launch a tactical counterattack from the front with part of the force, and tightly entangle the enemy in front of us. Use the main force to go west and penetrate directly into the side and rear of Sugino Yan, cutting off the connection between him and Major General Katayama Shozaburo."
Having said this, Du Kaishan paused for a moment, looked at Yang Zhen's face and then said: "At the same time, with the cooperation of a group of troops, we will tear a gap between Saburo Katayama and the Japanese troops on the front line of Fuguitun.
Through the opening, we will forcibly penetrate southward, seal off its possible southward retreat route, and use a regiment to launch a full counterattack against the enemy in front of it. Of course, this premise is based on the premise that the regiment is temporarily under my command."
"As long as the Japanese troops on the east and west routes can be eliminated, it will be easy for the remaining Major General Katayama Saburo. In the fierce battle last night, one of my battalions was maimed, but I don't believe it will be easy for the Katayama detachment.
Go there. He is secretly happy to have a large army of troops on hand now."
"On the eastern front, the Japanese army appears to have four squadrons, but in fact after fierce fighting, judging from the combat effectiveness of a regiment, it is already very good to have half of its troops left. As for Wang Guangyu, it must be about the same.
What is missing now is the straw that breaks the camel's back."
"As long as we first defeat the Japanese troops on the front line of Wang Foolish Village, we can completely eliminate Katayama Shozaburo with a backhand. Of course, this premise is that the troops based on frontal counterattack must hold Major General Katayama Shozaburo firmly in front of me.
.It must not be allowed to withdraw its troops to aid the west or advance eastward."
After listening to Du Kaishan's counterattack plan, Yang Zhen smiled slightly but did not give him a reply for the time being: "This guy is not big, but he has a big appetite. He is only a regiment of troops, and he wants to turn his back on the guests and take advantage of Wang Guangyu's mouth.
Not only did he snatch food, but he also wanted to eat the entire Japanese army on the southern front in one bite. This can be called audacious. However, his idea is not at all feasible."
Thinking of this, Yang Zhen said: "Your plan is good. But there are two points that you have considered. First, you are heading west. How did you consider this march route? You must know that the little devil is very vigilant. If you make a big move towards
If we attack from the west, we must pass through a corner of the battlefield. This will easily attract the attention of the Japanese. Don't fail to catch the enemy and startle the snake instead."
"The second is that you only have one regiment of troops on hand. In the fierce battle with the Japanese army last night, one battalion was injured or killed. Can you complete your battle plan with the troops you have on hand? You know, your plan is nothing.
The middle and third sides are blooming, and it will be difficult to sustain them without enough troops. In Chai Shirong's report, he has made it clear that those three independent regiments have now lost their combat capabilities and have no way to cooperate with you."
Du Kaishan laughed at Yang Zhen's two questions and said: "Commander, we don't have that diamond, and we don't dare to take the porcelain job. It's true that there is a swamp to the west of me, but it doesn't mean there is no road there.
On the surface, the swamp on the south bank of the Alinda River is just the road behind us. But in fact, there are at least three passable paths in the swamp."
"One of the reconnaissance platoon leaders in my brigade is a native of Tangyuan. He is very familiar with this swamp and it is passable. He has marked it on the map for me. I sent people to reconnoiter these three trails last night.
At least one regiment of troops can pass through."
"As for the soldiers, Commander, you must be overly worried. In last night's battle, I strengthened the brigade guard company. The engineer company's battalion suffered two-thirds casualties and lost its combat effectiveness. But my two battalions are still there.
Recharge your batteries.”
"It is true that Lao Chai's three independent regiments were almost defeated, but their casualties were not large. Of my three battalions, except for the absence of the command team of Mu Changqiu's eighth regiment, the remaining seven regiments
, the chief officers of the ninth regiment are all here. As long as we recruit more troops, we can regain our strength at any time."
"Last night I was on the front line commanding the battle, and Lao Tao was not idle either. With Lao Chai's assistance, some troops were transferred from three independent regiments overnight, and the two regiments were replenished. Commander
"The reason why Lao Chai's three independent regiments collapsed so quickly was not a training problem. In fact, the problem lies in the conditions of the cadres and the troops themselves. It is not a fault in training."
"In his three independent regiments, except for the cadres and squad leaders, all the soldiers are recruits who have never been on the battlefield. The most critical thing is that there is a serious lack of combat backbones and veterans. Moreover, these three independent regiments themselves are for
It was formed to supplement the casualties of the troops, and the structure is incomplete."
"The cadres at all levels are pre-provisioned cadres and lack command experience. The platoon leader is the original squad leader, and the company commander is the original platoon leader. Although these cadres are all good at fighting, they themselves lack experience.
.There are also not enough political cadres. In addition to instructors at the battalion level, the instructors of each company are all squad leaders who were originally preparing to become political cadres."
"One of the leaders of these three independent regiments is the original deputy chief of staff of the regiment, one is the battalion commander, and the other is the brigade training section chief. One of the three political commissars is the deputy director of the regiment's political office, and the other two are the original battalion commanders.
None of the instructors have experience in commanding regiment-level combat units. They don’t even have experience in commanding front-line combat units.”
"Commander, you understand. These independent regiments are no different from the previous supplementary regiments. To be honest, they are not so much combat troops as they are cadre training teams plus new corps. But this does not mean that the troops are not good. I
After a general inspection, the training skills of the troops of these three independent regiments are still very solid. What they lack is combat experience."
"My army now has the largest number of veterans among the three main brigades, but the casualties have not been replenished since the first line of Jiangshi was launched. The current actual situation of the third brigade is exactly the same as the three independent regiments under Lao Chai.
Complementary. For the sake of the overall situation, that’s what I do.”
Having said this, Du Kaishan suddenly shut up. He suddenly remembered that the recruitment of soldiers in each brigade has always been coordinated by the military region, and each unit has never been allowed to recruit troops without permission. Without asking for instructions, he recruited troops from three independent regiments.
Transferring troops from the Central Military Commission to supplement one's own troops, whether intentionally or unintentionally, is a violation of the regulations of the military region.
I went out without orders, and the commander has not punished me yet. I also disobeyed the instructions and transferred soldiers from other troops without authorization. Isn't this adding insult to injury? Thinking of this, I saw Tao Jingfei, who had been silent on the side, staring at me, and reacted:
Du Kaishan, who said something wrong again, wanted to give him a big mouth.
Looking at Du Kaishan, who seemed a little embarrassed knowing that he had violated the rules again, Yang Zhen was made happy by him: "So, you are not polite and directly added to your army without asking your superiors."
?”
Yang Zhen laughed instead of being angry, which startled Du Kaishan, who was confused, and quickly explained: "Commander, I promise you are just borrowing them. After the battle is over, I will let them return them to the organization immediately."
Looking at Du Kaishan who was busy explaining, Yang Zhen was silent for a while, clicked on the map and said: "Du Kaishan, do you think I am Tian Deng? Only the state officials are allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps? Or do you think I am the past?
The feudal emperor always said the same thing and did not allow his subordinates to have different opinions?"
