When he saw the two people coming in, Guo Bingxun, who was crouching on the map planning the next battle plan, stood up, walked up to the two people, and asked someone to pour water for them. After looking at them, he looked a little nervous because he was bargaining with him. The two men signaled them to relax and said, "Why, I'm a little reluctant to replace you at this juncture."
Guo Bingxun waved his hand and stopped the two people from trying to explain. He smiled and said: "There is nothing to explain. Seek truth from facts. Reluctance means reluctance. Seeing that the Thirteenth Regiment is about to eat up, we will No one would be willing to change it. For example, you have been busy, spent a lot of money, and even borrowed money, and finally bought all the wedding things and are waiting to enter the bridal chamber."
"Okay, at this juncture, the groom has changed, and you won't be allowed to have a wedding. To be honest, I wouldn't be willing to change it, but you have to start from the overall war situation, and you can't just focus on the piles in front of you. Headquarters The decision on which unit to deploy is based on the development of the war situation, and it is impossible to judge from the situation of a certain unit."
"Your Second Brigade has been clinging to the eastward detachment of the Sixth Division this time. It has been at the center of the entire battlefield, ensuring the smooth development of the east-west front battle. It can be said to be the first achievement of this battle. However, Have you ever considered why your second brigade was replaced at this juncture instead of your first brigade?"
After hearing Guo Bingxun's words, Li Mingfeng and Xiao Yongzhi looked at each other and shook their heads. They did not understand the true intention of the headquarters' move. They were also confused. The Second Brigade had been fighting fiercely in the central mountainous area of Boli for several days. The terrain and enemy situation are both familiar, so leaving the second brigade is much better than leaving the first brigade to fight in an unfamiliar area after continuous marching and fighting.
On the way here, the two people also discussed why the headquarters replaced themselves at this time, but they couldn't figure out why the headquarters replaced them at this time. It could be said that it was due to combat fatigue, and the first brigade was no better than themselves. Go, if there are too many casualties, the first brigade is about the same as myself. If we talk about the enemy situation and terrain, I am more familiar with it, but why did I have to be replaced at the headquarters?
Looking at the two people shaking their heads, Guo Bingxun smiled and said: "There is a reason for replacing you. Your second brigade is located at the northern end and east of the entire Boli battlefield. It is much easier to mobilize than the first brigade. Thirteen After the regiment broke through and was blocked by you, especially after the 1st Brigade joined the battlefield, you and the 13th Regiment were actually out of the entanglement, so you were transferred instead of the 1st Brigade."
"The main force of the 29th Division of the Japanese Army has already moved out and is advancing eastward with all its strength. Dukai Mountain has been secretly deployed. There must be no problems on the sides and rear. In addition, in the southern mountainous area of Yilan, there is only one regiment of the second column and the third division. The defense of the four battalions is extremely weak. Once the 29th Division takes a detour here, the consequences will be disastrous. Our army will turn from the current active initiative to passive. The situation is urgent, so the headquarters can only mobilize you who are closest."
"Now the supplementary troops allocated to you have arrived. The headquarters will give you one day to replenish the troops. After the replenishment is completed, you should immediately go south from Boli County and go straight to the junction of southern Boli and Mishan to block the Japanese 29th Division. The regiment's reinforcements should move north or west."
"This Japanese army is very cunning. Although their marching speed is generally not slow, they move very steadily. Their troops are divided into two groups, the north and the south, marching hand in hand and forming horns with each other. If there is any disturbance, they will immediately shrink into a ball."
"The fifth brigade has now begun to move eastward, and the first brigade will also move eastward in secret after completing the final annihilation of the 13th Regiment. Your mission is to block the two 29th Division Regiments on the eastern front.
After the battle begins, block all roads of the 29th Division heading north or west to ensure the action of the main force on the eastern front."
"The headquarters can only give you one day's rest time to reorganize the troops, but the current war situation is tense, so we can only give you one day. I hope you can reorganize the troops in the shortest possible time, and then go south immediately.
To protect the flanks of Du Kaishan, you must block the main force of the 29th Division at the junction of Boli and Mishan."
"In addition to the supplementary troops of the three regiments, I am giving you two thousand Puppet Manchu Army prisoners who have completed training. They are all Puppet Manchu Army prisoners who have completed training. These Puppet Manchu Army soldiers have gone through almost cruel training by the Japanese army.
, the combat effectiveness is quite good.”
After that, Guo Bingxun summoned Li Mingfeng and Xiao Yongzhi to the map, pointed at it and said: "After you have completed the supplements, spread out along the Monkey Rock Mountain, Lanling to Guokui River, and form a mutual coordination with Tao Jingfei's defense on the Lao Heibei front line.
The overall defense posture is to fully protect the flanks of the Du Kaishan headquarters in the southern front, which is now hidden in Sifang Dingzi Mountain."
"The main force of the 29th Division of the Japanese Army is divided into two groups, starting from Mishan County in a north-south direction. According to their current marching speed, it seems that the 18th Regiment of the North Line will cross the Diaolong River tomorrow evening.
, and the South Road passes through Heitai, and the Taiping First Line No. 50 Regiment will arrive at the Taiping First Line."
"Although the 29th Division's marching speed is not fast, its focus is very clear. Its troops are divided into two groups but directly pointed at the flanks of our army, especially the Japanese troops on the northern front. Once they break through the Danhadal Ridge line, not only Du Kaishan
All of your actions have been exposed, and Tao Jingfei will be in a situation of being attacked from both sides, so the headquarters can only give you one day of replenishment and rest time, and then immediately forcibly march southward and start immediately along the designated area."
Looking at the designated place drawn by Guo Bingxun on the map and the location of Du Kaishan, Li Mingfeng and Xiao Yongzhi took a breath and looked at Guo Bingxun and said: "Chief of Staff, deploy us on this line, and Du Kaishan is hidden on the top of the square.
The front line is on standby, and all the main forces of the first column have to be transferred eastward. Does the headquarters need to make a big move?"
Guo Bingxun smiled and said: "You will know if there are any big moves in time, but remember one thing for me. I don't care how you fight, but you must not let the 29th Division cross the Liumao River. Hada
The river line is your last position to block this attack. Even if your second brigade is defeated by me, you will still be firmly nailed to this line."
Having said this, Guo Bingxun looked at the two men seriously and said: "Let me make it clear to you first. These two regiments of the 29th Division are not just ordinary infantry regiments with a strength of more than 3,000 people.
Instead, on the basis of the original strength, each regiment was supplemented by four to six infantry squadrons and two mountain artillery squadrons drawn from the Kwantung Army's Fourth Border Guard Corps."
"That is to say, even if your Second Brigade is fully replenished, plus the two thousand puppet Manchukuo prisoners assigned to you, it will only be roughly equal to the Japanese army in strength. Maybe you will have some advantages in terms of terrain, but overall, You can only take advantage of this advantage."
"You must hold this line of defense for at least three to five days. Even if you defeat the last soldier, you must ensure the safety of Du Kaishan's flanks before the attack, as well as the safety of Tao Jingfei on the Tieshanbao front line behind him. If you have any requests, please make them quickly now."
After Li Mingfeng and Xiao Yongzhi heard this, they looked at each other and stood up and said: "Please rest assured No. 3, we must follow the headquarters' requirements. Even if there are only one soldier left, we must guard the line between Liumao River and Hada River. But No. 3 , we are not familiar with the terrain there, it can be said that our eyesight is completely dark.”
"No. 1 once said that it is not possible to fight with maps alone. In this way, the political commissar and I divided the work. I took the first supplementary regiment and several regiment chief officers and went south this evening. First, I took a look at the terrain. The second thing is to focus on the defense. The most important thing is that we infer the progress of the 29th Division based on their previous march speed."
"But the Japanese army is not a puppet in our hands. They cannot follow our baton in everything. Once the Japanese army suddenly speeds up their march, it will easily catch us by surprise. Looking at the map, we don't have a single soldier in that area yet. One pawn, I will lead a regiment to go first, at least if an abnormal situation occurs, we will not be passive."
"Let the political commissar stay and lead the political cadres to seize the time and complete the training of the other two regiments as soon as possible. In this way, we can take care of both ends and even give the main force an extra day of rest. On the 3rd, there are no other requirements. Can you add some cadres to us, especially military cadres and company instructors?"
"In the previous battles, while the casualties of the troops were not light, the casualties of front-line military and political cadres were also not small. There are still some big gaps in the battalion and company cadres, especially the front-line company commander, instructor, No. 3, and those three supplementary Can all the cadres of the regiment be kept by me?"
In response to Li Mingfeng's request, Guo Bingxun thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "It is impossible to leave all of you, but I can leave half of you. In addition, the headquarters has decided to transfer the 105 Howitzer Battalion that originally cooperated with you in combat. We will continue to strengthen and strengthen you, and we will strengthen and give you a newly formed 150 heavy mortar battalion, which is the last heavy mortar battalion in the headquarters reserve force."
"There is also an independent anti-tank gun regiment formed by the headquarters using the twenty-four 47mm Schneider anti-tank guns newly transferred from Jiangbei. It will also be strengthened for you. I will replenish you with thirty heavy machine guns and one hundred more. Rocket launchers, this time the entire search regiment of the 29th Division is dispatched. Although there are not many tanks, most of them are light tanks. However, given that you have assumed that many battlefields will be plain areas, the threat to you is still considerable. Big."
"I've told you everything that needs to be said. As for how to do it, it's up to you. You should go back to the army immediately to prepare. Go and take over the new army immediately. Take advantage of the time. If you set off a minute earlier, you will be more confident. That gives you a little more room."
