Kambang, a small town that was originally only equivalent to a town in China, has been turned into ruins due to the continuous fighting. And because of Kambang's special geographical location, it may become a target for the Chinese ** team to attack the Japanese army in Pekan.
To several shipyards and military ports in the Mersing area, even though the Japanese army had suffered heavy casualties, no one from the battle commander Masaharu Honma to an ordinary soldier dared to say that they could give up.
here.
The telegram is a routine battle report at regular times every day. There are three such battle reports throughout the day, and the fixed times are 8 a.m., 3 p.m., and 11 p.m.
The battle report first reported the new battle situation after eight o'clock in the morning - "...beginning at three o'clock in the morning, the Japanese army first dispatched a brigade and three indigenous divisions to launch an attack on our Kambang 003 position. At the same time, one brigade of the Japanese army and one
The indigenous division launched a fierce attack on Xiaolin Highlands... By 2:30 in the afternoon, more than 100,000 Japanese troops participated in the attack, and the battle expanded to the entire Magan front..."
Then there are the casualty data and the progress of the war - "Before the report was issued, our army had more than 2,000 new casualties, and more than 5,000 enemy soldiers were killed and injured. In addition, our aviation unit engaged in fire with the Japanese army a total of 13 times.
We lost five Golden Eagles, 13 Baiji Dolphins, and nine Chinese Sturgeons. We also lost seven Golden Eagles, five Baiji Dolphins, and 12 Chinese Sturgeons. Our aviation forces shot down and injured more than 90 Japanese aircraft.
aircraft, including eleven of the latest Japanese Harriers..."
After Pan Meiren finished reading the battle report, He Yingqin asked: "Is the Harrier also a jet fighter?"
"Yes," Pan Meiren replied.
"How is its performance? Is it better or worse than our golden eagle?"
"According to the performance data we have obtained, the Japanese Harrier is completely inferior to our Golden Eagle. However, because the Japanese army has extremely inhumane tactics such as suicide, it is difficult for us to have an absolute advantage even if the numbers are equal.
Odds of winning.”
"Where are the missiles? Don't we have missiles?"
"Our missiles are mainly heat-seeking. The Harrier used by Japan this time is equipped with portable rockets under the wings. This rocket can interfere with the guidance system of our army's air-to-air missiles. The Xuebing R&D Institute is studying countermeasures."
The newly joined He Yingqin was very curious about many things because of the lack of information. Often at this time, Pan Meiren became an expert in solving problems. This conversation has lasted for several days, because most of the people here have
They think that their understanding of some things is no better than that of Pan Meiren, so they will consciously keep their mouths shut.
When He Yingqin finally stopped asking questions, Feng Yuxiang looked at the battle report that had just been issued in his hand and said: "Today's ground battle was very fierce. The Japanese army dispatched many more troops than yesterday. Isn't this battle damage abnormal?"
Not only him, but most other people discovered this problem, and everyone started talking, trying to find out something from the written battle report.
This is the most important daily job of the military and political leaders of the Supreme Command. They need to analyze changes in the battle situation based on the latest battle reports sent back from the front line, conduct comprehensive analysis based on relevant intelligence sent back from other channels, and provide reference combat plans to the
Front-line commanders so that they can avoid enemy traps.
So far in the Battle of Malan, although the Third Expeditionary Army has not been able to successfully attack, it has actually gained the initiative because it has successively occupied the two important strategic positions of Xiaolin Heights and Ganbang. However, because the Japanese army did not hesitate to attack at any cost.
The investment has turned Ganbang into a meat grinding ground. The next battle will be a huge test for the will of the officers and soldiers of the Third Expeditionary Group.
On the curtain wall behind Ouyang Yun, the latest troop distribution map of both sides was projected on it. Deng Xihou picked up the baton, stood in front of the curtain wall, and began to "point out the situation" - "Everyone knows the latest battle situation. Now, the key points of the battle between the enemy and us are
Still at Xiaoling Highlands and Ganbang. It's a bit strange." He stopped his baton at the point of Xiaoling Highlands, hesitated slightly, and said, "The Japanese army suddenly invested heavily in Xiaoling Highlands again today. Could it be said that they have forgotten the previous few battles?
Did they learn a lesson or do they have other intentions?"
Xiaolin Highlands is easy to defend but difficult to attack, which has been proved by many actual battles. About a month ago, the Japanese army weakened its offensive on Xiaolin Highlands, but today they suddenly pressed heavy troops again, which is really suspicious.
Everyone's eyes followed the baton and stayed on the point of Xiaolin Heights, their brows furrowed, and they all started thinking. A few minutes later, Tie Linfei suddenly shouted: "No!"
His cry was so sudden that it startled Feng Yuxiang next to him. The old man immediately stared over and asked, "What's wrong with this sudden surprise?"
"I suddenly thought of a possibility! Well, I need a more detailed map of the distribution of Japanese troops -"
Deng Xihou nodded and waved to the staff officer who was in charge of showing the slides. The latter understood and immediately adjusted the position of the camera, and then the point on the Xiaolin Heights on the curtain wall began to zoom in until it filled the entire screen.
Tie Linfei stood up and walked forward, took the baton from Deng Xihou, pointed to the south of Xiaolin Highlands, and said: "The Japanese troops attacking Xiaolin Highlands are leaning to the south. I suspect that they are probably to counterattack our Malan 023
Attack on the position." Without waiting for others to ask questions, he continued: "Do you still remember the news reported by Secretary Pan three days ago? The Japanese army is stepping up training of paratroopers. Our Malan 023 position is due to the existence of the Malan jungle to the east.
It was originally regarded as a place of death, but what if the Japanese army dispatched aviation troops to airdrop it? Please help me cut back to the original shot!"
The original formation diagram appeared again on the curtain wall. Tielin Fei pointed his baton to the right side of the Malan 023 position and said: "Because our main force has moved to the direction of Ganbang, heading west from Xiaoling Highlands, our army's strength is actually very weak.
, but unfortunately, our army’s forward command is located at Malan 023. The Japanese army must know this, and I suspect that their crazy attack on Ganbang some time ago was simply to provide cover for today’s operation!”
"You mean the real purpose of the Japanese army is to behead our soldiers' front fingers?" Deng Xihou asked, his right hand habitually touching his chin.
"It is very possible. With the Japanese troops deployed near Xiaolin Heights, they are indeed unable to capture Xiaolin Heights. However, if their role is only to cut off the connection between Xiaolin Heights and the Malan 011 position, it is enough.
Near Malan, the main force of our army is near Xiaolin Heights. Once the connection is cut off, the guard troops directly under the front command alone will not be able to resist the elite Japanese paratroopers."
Tie Linfei's conclusion immediately aroused everyone's intense attention because it involved the survival of the Third Expeditionary Army Headquarters. Ouyang Yun touched his nose and said: "The matter is of great importance. It seems that we can only trust it."
I believe it is gone. Hurry, call the Malan Front Command immediately and ask them to retreat to the Ganbang area immediately!"
