Chapter 393 The ever-changing battle situation

Looking at the stars in the sky. [.Com text] This is the first time since time travel that Yang Zhen has encountered such a difficult problem. He shook his head secretly in his heart. What should he do to choose the lesser of the two sides? To the southwest of Baoqing County

The sound of gunfire that came from time to time seemed to be urging him to make up his mind. Yang Zhen, who had always been decisive in killing, hesitated at this time.

Just when Yang Zhen was still hesitant about what to do next, his thoughts were interrupted by the sudden sound of gunfire from Beiguan and Dongguan.

Yang Zhen was not surprised by the sound of gunfire. The main force of the 44th Regiment had all arrived, and they would not attack from just one direction.

Dongguan and Beiguan are the main defensive positions in the northeast direction of Baoqing County. The Japanese army can break through there and directly reach the foot of the city wall. As long as the 44th Regiment has sufficient troops, they will not give up choosing these two places as breakthrough points.

.The gunfire over there should be that the 44th Regiment is looking for another breakthrough.

Yang Zhen's guess was correct. Just when he was about to turn around and call to inquire. A combat staff officer who had accompanied Yang Zhen to apply for the application hurried over. When he saw Yang Zhen, he saluted quickly: "No. 1, Director Peng is here."

When inspecting the defense of Dongguan, we encountered a Japanese army and are now fighting fiercely with the Japanese army on the Dongguan line. In addition, Director Peng reported that Beiguan has been lost, and he is gathering troops to prepare to recapture Beiguan."

Beiguan was lost? So soon? Yang Zhen was slightly startled after hearing the staff report. A major support point with fortifications to rely on was lost as soon as the battle started? There must be some reason for this. Otherwise, although Guxuan

Outside, the distance from the county seat is farther than Dongguan. But how could Beiguan, with the Naoli River acting as a natural barrier, be lost so quickly?

Yang Zhen walked to the phone in a few steps, picked up the phone and called Peng Shilu directly: "Immediately find out for me how Beiguan was lost. The enemy's situation is still unknown, so don't fight back yet. You should shrink your troops immediately."

, defend Dongguan with all your strength, and use firepower to block the Japanese attack route from Beiguan to the county. The most important thing is that you must immediately find out for me which part of the Japanese army is attacking you."

Peng Shilu said over there: "No. 1, there is no need to check. The company commander who was stationed at Beiguan was careless and neglected to be vigilant. He simply did not set up a warning position as required, and was unable to prepare himself well enough to prevent a surprise attack by the Japanese army. The position was destroyed

After the Japanese army was defeated, they panicked and took the lead in escaping. I have detained this man and am preparing to ask you for instructions on how to deal with it."

Yang Zhen didn't even think about Peng Shilu's request for instructions: "What are you asking for? According to the provisions of military law, the company commander who took the lead in the retreat was shot on the spot and the instructor was dismissed. The company was demobilized and the remaining personnel were organized and dispersed on the spot.

Join the two companies responsible for the defense of Dongguan."

"You must be mentally prepared. If the barrier of Beiguan is lost, the Japanese army will attack Dongguan with all its strength next. Dongguan is Jiaxinzi, the right wing guarantee of the backing line. Once Dongguan is lost, Jiaxinzi frontline will be attacked from both sides.

Danger. Remember, if Dongguan is there, the peripheral positions will be there. If Dongguan is lost, the entire Baoqing peripheral position will be shaken."

"Dongguan is different from Beiguan. He, Jia Xinzi and Guoshan are an integral defense. It is extremely important for Jia Xinzi and Guoshan to be able to hold on. Before getting the order to retreat, Dongguan must not be lost. You don't want it first

Return to the headquarters and sit down in Dongguan to ensure the safety of Dongguan."

After hearing Yang Zhen's order, Peng Shilu said without hesitation: "No. 1, please rest assured. Before receiving the order from the headquarters to retreat, I will stick to Dongguan in accordance with the order and do my best to ensure the safety of Jia Xinzi and the flanks of the mountain front line.

.Even if he fights to the last soldier, he will not hesitate."

Putting down the phone in his hand, Yang Zhen turned his attention to the city wall. The North Pass was lost so quickly that it was a bit unexpected. But the East Pass, which was more important than the North Pass, was still in his hands, which made him feel more at ease. As long as he held the East Pass

Guan, the most important support point of the entire Baoqing periphery is in your hands.

As for the Japanese army, no matter which direction the Japanese troops attacking Beiguan and Dongguan come from, as long as they want to capture Baoqing County, their next step must be to attack Dongguan with all their strength. Only by capturing Dongguan can they completely defeat the surrounding areas.

resistance.

Yang Zhen's prediction was correct, and since the sound of gunfire from the direction of Dongguan, there has been almost no pause, and even the increasingly dense gunfire proves this. Listening to the sound of gunfire from the direction of Dongguan, it is almost inaudible.

The sound of explosive artillery, including the sound of 75mm field guns, made Yang Zhen frown slightly.

Judging from the sound of artillery, the Japanese artillery in the Dongguan direction is at least two artillery squadrons. Although there are no large-caliber heavy artillery, there are complete mountain and field artillery. From the 92nd Infantry Artillery Brigade, the 37th Rapid Fire Artillery, to the 75mm Wing

It is a mountain artillery, and the division's 75mm field artillery is fully equipped. There are no less than 150mm Japanese heavy mortars of the squadron.

Judging from the sound of artillery and the explosion points of artillery shells, the shelling intensity and firepower density of the Japanese army in Dongguan were much stronger than that of Jiaxinzi, which had obviously been strengthened. Judging from the battle situation reported by Jiaxinzi on the front line, after the arrival of Japanese reinforcements

, the Japanese army there only added two mountain cannons and four Type 92 infantry cannons. Its firepower density and intensity cannot be compared with the Japanese army in Dongguan. Could it be that the Japanese army attacking Dongguan is the 11th Division of the Japanese Army?

main force?

With his eyes closed, he was silent for a long time, listening to the sound of artillery coming from the Dongguan and Jiaxinzi lines. Yang Zhen still picked up the phone to call Peng Shilu, who was commanding in Dongguan, and said: "What are you doing?

What's the situation on the border? Have you found out the organization of these Japanese troops?"

Peng Shilu's answer on the other side of the phone was difficult to hear clearly under the interference of dense gunfire. It took a lot of effort for Yang Zhen to hear the answer clearly: "No. 1, the Japanese army used the squadron as its organization as soon as they came up.

They took turns to launch attacks. Its artillery only consisted of three squadrons of mountain artillery, of which the field artillery was in at least one squadron."

"Judging from the Japanese offensive and the intensity of the artillery fire, they are very determined to capture Baoqing County in a short period of time. In just half an hour, the Japanese army has fired seven to eight hundred artillery shells at our position. Our front line

Most of the fortifications were destroyed by Japanese artillery fire. The soldiers could only rely on the ruins to resist and suffered heavy casualties. However, Dongguan is still in our hands, and the Japanese have not yet been able to break through our forward defenses."

"Judging from the items and information on the body of a Japanese second lieutenant officer who died on the front line of our army, the identity of this Japanese army has been identified. It is the main first brigade of the 44th Regiment. However, judging from the strength of the Japanese army's offensive

, this first brigade has been reinforced by at least one squadron. I am now organizing the troops to capture the wounded Japanese soldiers as soon as possible in order to determine the true identity of the Japanese soldiers."

After hearing Peng Shilu's report, Yang Zhen was silent for a moment and said: "You must pay attention to artillery defense, and you must not shrink your troops together. Try to engage in close combat with the Japanese army to weaken the Japanese army's artillery advantage. And you must pay attention to your

From the flank direction, if the Japanese army fails in the frontal assault, it will definitely turn to your flank."

After the 44th Regiment of the Japanese Army launched an offensive against Baoqing, the battle situation in Baoqing, which was almost the center of the entire battlefield, changed in an ever-changing manner. The rapid transformation caused Yang Zhen, who had always reacted very quickly on the battlefield, to

It also felt a bit unprepared.

Just when Yang Zhen ended the call with Peng Shilu, and before he could put down the phone, a communications staff officer ran over and handed a telegram to Yang Zhen and said: "No. 1, Commander Liu called. They are in the southeast of Jinsha Gang.

A large number of Japanese troops were found in the direction of Jubao to Qingyuan, as well as along the southwest coast of Sanhuan Pao. Their strength was at least one regiment, and they carried a large number of artillery and cavalry."

"This Japanese army that appeared in the north of Baoqing County not only cut off their land connection with Baoqing County with one force, but also concentrated a large group of troops under the cover of artillery just now at 11 o'clock.

As a result, a tentative attack was launched on the Jinshagang front line."

After hearing the staff officer's report, Yang Zhen walked a few steps to the map and looked at the Japanese military situation sent by Liu Changshun, which had been marked by the combat staff officer. After carefully examining it for a long time, Yang Zhen turned his head and said to a staff officer next to him: "Go and attack immediately.

Chief of Staff Xia Boxun came over and sent a report to the Chief of Staff, asking him to urge Ma Qichang to speed up the march. He ordered Ma Qichang to arrive at the north bank of Qixing River before noon tomorrow."

When Xia Boxun, who was hurriedly summoned by the staff, arrived, Yang Zhen didn't waste any words and said straight to the point: "Immediately send a telegram to Yuan Bin to ask the aviation force to prepare for the Japanese troops from Qingyuan to Jinshagang early tomorrow morning."

All-out bombing. Let him focus on it, don't bomb indiscriminately. Our troops have not yet received ground-air cooperation training, so you must be more careful when operating."

When Xia Boxun heard the mission assigned by Yang Zhen, he felt a little excited that he had finally won the combat mission. He quickly said: "No. 1, please don't worry. I stayed with Commander Liu before arriving at Baoqing County.

Two air liaison officers and a high-power radio. We will definitely ensure that all bombs are dropped on the Japanese troops, and we will never let our own soldiers fall to our own bombs."

Yang Zhen looked at Xia Boxun who looked confident, waved his hand and said: "Don't rush to promise now, let's see your performance. This is the first time your aviation force has officially participated in the war. Whether you can show the style of our own aviation force will

Let’s look at your performance this time. Your mission is very simple, which is to weaken the Japanese army’s combat capabilities from the air to the greatest extent, especially its offensive capabilities. The location here in the Sanjiang Plain is perfect for maximizing the power of your aviation forces.”

"However, we must be careful not to over-fatigue the pilots. You commanders must grasp the rhythm of the battle and do not cause unnecessary non-combat casualties because of your eagerness to perform. The growth of the aviation force depends on daily life.

What is accumulated bit by bit cannot be achieved overnight.”

After that, Yang Zhen pointed at the map and said: "This is the general situation and distribution of the main force of the 11th Division that Liu Changshun just sent. You should go back immediately to draft a battle plan and start taking action tomorrow morning. At the same time, you must be prepared.

Be prepared to adjust your deployment at any time. Because the Japanese army does not stand still, they will adjust their deployment at any time according to changes in the situation."

After Xia Boxun left, Yang Zhen turned his head and stared at the location of the main force of the 11th Division on the map, but felt a slight sigh of relief in his heart. It seemed that Mitsuru Ushijima still couldn't get rid of the usual vanity of Japanese generals.

The target of the 11th Division was still set at Jiamusi.
