Chapter 1004: Scuffle
"Oh!" Wu Chaowen nodded again and again, feeling a sudden realization, but then said: "But the general seat, the defense line of the Japanese Eighth Division is almost connected to the 22nd Division, once the Japanese Eighth Division is attacked, won't the 22nd Division also be involved?" We don't have the possibility of having the strength to eat the two divisions of the Japanese army, and once the war breaks out on the northern and western fronts, the 1st Guards Division of the Japanese army on the southern front will definitely take advantage of the situation to press up, and then it will be a full-scale battle, and the scale will not be small compared to today's daytime, our main purpose at present is to hold Lashio, is it necessary to provoke this battle and take this risk? ”
Jiang Haoran nodded and said: "Well, if you can think of this, it's not in vain to be called 'Sai Zhuge ', but our current strength is only 60,000, and the Japanese army is at least more than 100,000, which is almost a multiple of ours. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"Take a little risk?" Wu Chaowen looked puzzled, obviously a little incomprehensible.
"You will soon understand, order the military commanders of the various units to immediately go to the war room for a meeting." After Jiang Haoran finished speaking, he ignored Wu Chaowen, got up and walked to the war room.
Wu Chaowen hurriedly ordered the signal corps to inform the military commanders of all divisions and regiments to rush back immediately.
Half an hour later, the war room was already overcrowded, and although there was a fierce battle, these guys were all in good spirits, and they were still in good spirits.
Jiang Haoran also seemed to be very satisfied with their performance, personally dispersed a round of cigarettes for everyone, affirmed everyone's performance, and especially commended Sun Liren, commander of the new 38th Division, and Zhang Zhen, commander of the 75th Army and commander of the 28th Division.
Soon entering the topic of the meeting, Jiang Haoran did not ask for everyone's opinions, and directly rehearsed the deployment of this attack on the military sand table.
With 100 transport helicopters, loaded with the Snow Wolf Special Combat Team and one part of the Airborne Brigade, and all the remaining 115 armed helicopters, they went around the rear of the Japanese Eighth Division and launched a surprise attack, with the aim of destroying their command system, logistics system, and artillery positions.
The improvised tank battalion, consisting of the Marauder Independent Regiment and most of the Airborne Brigade, launched an attack on the defense line of the Japanese 8th Division from the front, and the main attack was launched.
The Chen Feng Division of the 93rd Division, from the junction of the 8th Division and the 22nd Division of the Japanese Army, must cut off the connection between the two divisions as an assist.
Ma Weiji of the 29th Division and Zhang Zhen of the 28th Division took the initiative to attack the Japanese troops at the front, with the aim of containing the 22nd and 10th Divisions of the Japanese Army.
On the southern front, the 94th Division's Peng Bisheng Division and the new 38th Division changed guards, the 94th Division was stationed in the first line of defense, the new 38th Division was stationed in the second line of defense, and most of the 28th Division still stuck to their original posts. The task of the three divisions was not to attack, but to defend, aiming to prevent the Japanese 1st Guards Division from taking advantage of the opportunity to attack.
Twenty-two captured mountain guns will be placed in the front of the northwest corner to provide artillery support to the attacking units.
Before the attack, the flying teams of the Sino-Militane coalition forces will carry out a round of maximum bombardment of all Japanese defense lines.
At the same time, several electronic jamming devices will also be turned on 10 minutes before the bombing to cut off the communication between the various units of the Japanese army, and the purpose of this battle is to completely annihilate the 8th Division of the Japanese army, and the tactic is "melee," and the attack time is 10 o'clock at night, and the battle must end before dawn.
When the order was issued, the generals agreed with a bang, no one raised any questions, and quickly left the war room and returned to the camp for deployment.
As soon as the generals left, Wu Chaowen looked at the battle sand table and was stunned, and he began to agree with Jiang Haoran's point of view of "taking a little risk".
In this way, the Japanese army will inevitably be blinded and lose radio contact, and the 1st Guards Division on the southern front will not know what is happening on the western front and the northern front at all, and even if they want to support, I am afraid that they will have to worry about whether this is a trap for the expeditionary force to lure the enemy into the depths, and the Tada Junbu inside cannot figure out whether the expeditionary force wants to break through or attack, even if they know that the 8th Division on the northern front is being attacked, I am afraid they will not dare to transfer their troops to the northern front too much.
The Japanese army must consider that even if one unit breaks out, it is not impossible to pull up a steel chain bridge at the Ruigu front and throw a few more divisions into the battlefield on the east bank.
The ten divisions of the 1st Youth Army of the Expeditionary Force will definitely not be able to hide the Japanese army, and the current Yingduo army is surplus, once this situation really happens, it will definitely be a catastrophe for Tada Junbu, so before he fully understands Jiang Haoran's intentions, Tada Jun will never dare to take this risk, so that the 8th Division of the Japanese Army will not be able to run away properly.
The Eighth Division of the Japanese Army has already had an Abe Wing completely annihilated, an Inoue Wing defeated, and a field artillery wing, and the remaining brigade plus the troops directly under the division and regiment headquarters, with a maximum of 20,000 troops, using the most elite troops and the most powerful firepower of the expeditionary force to deal with them, not to mention that the battle can be won without suspense, at least the probability of victory exceeds 70 percent, and it is really just a "small risk." ”
Thinking of this, Wu Chaowen's face flushed, and he suddenly felt that his title of "Sai Zhuge " was really a joke in front of Jiang Haoran. Looking at Jiang Haoran, who was still busy in front of the sand table not far away, Wu Chaowen's eyes became confused.
At 9:45 p.m. that night, a violent explosion suddenly sounded on the periphery of Lashio, and the defensive line for dozens of miles outside the periphery was full of flames.
The Chinese-Mimetry coalition air force arrived as scheduled and carried out an unprecedented round of bombardment of the Japanese defense line on the periphery, not sparing even the 1st Guards Division on the other side of the Nandu River.
Although the Sino-Michiel coalition flight team is seriously short of fighters, and there are probably only about 100 fighters left, the number of bombers is still huge, and there are hundreds of bombers that can be driven out casually, and the airborne radar planes are calmly commanded and dispatched, and more than 100 fighters escort them, which is more than enough to deal with the Japanese army's night fighters.
Fifteen minutes later, as soon as the bombers stopped bombing, there was another rumbling explosion from the north, and the skyrocketing fire burned half of the sky, followed by the roar of machine guns, machine guns, and AK47s.
The Snow Wolf Special Combat Team, the Airborne Brigade, and more than 100 helicopter gunships landed behind the Eighth Division of the Japanese Army as scheduled, firing the first shot of the attack.
Almost at the same time, the frontal troops also began to attack, and the officers and men of the Airborne Brigade and the officers and men of the Marauder Independent Regiment, thousands of men and horses, under the cover of more than 20 tanks, took advantage of the night, like a tiger out of the forest, and rushed to the defense line of the Japanese Eighth Division.
