Chapter 71 Xuzhou Strategy
When a sentence came out, the audience was in an uproar.
There was a look of excitement on everyone's faces, and it was difficult to control the excitement.
They have been preparing for this day for too long, they have been waiting for too long, and now it has finally arrived!
"Brigade seat, did Shangfeng say where our battlefield is?" Wang Yachuan asked excitedly.
"Shangfeng called, let our independent brigade be stationed in Dingyuan to block the Japanese army in the south along the southern end of the Jinpu line!" Chen Qingzhi said with a smile.
"What?" Hearing this, Wang Yachuan grew his mouth and said a little anxiously: "Why did you put us in the south?" Our independent brigade has so many people, sufficient soldiers, and is well-equipped, why is it not in the north? The north is the main position, and as for the south, there is nothing to fight! ”
Wang Yachuan thought that the combat mission of their independent brigade would be in the north, after all, the north was the center of this battle, and as for the south, it was already on the verge of the battle of Xuzhou.
Although the other regiment leaders were not as anxious as Wang Yachuan, they also said one after another: "What does this Shangfeng think? Isn't it a waste to put our independent brigade in the south! ”
At present, the independent brigade is well-equipped, and even equipped with an artillery regiment, such firepower is rare even among the elite divisions of the Central Army.
It stands to reason that their independent brigade should be the main defensive front in the main position in the north, so as not to waste the firepower of the independent brigade, but now this order has made everyone a little commotion.
I couldn't help but talk about it.
To be honest, if it were placed among the other troops, I am afraid that they would have been sent to a position that was not very important, so that the troops would not have suffered such huge losses.
But the Independent Brigade did the opposite, being placed in a place where the fighting was not very intense, and instead started complaining.
If this is known by the superiors, I am afraid that they will not be able to cry and laugh.
In fact, it is not unreasonable for Shangfeng to arrange this.
After all, in the above cognition, the independent brigade is just a newly expanded unit, most of the troops are new recruits, and the combat effectiveness is definitely not very strong, after all, they don't know the equipment and combat effectiveness of the independent brigade now, so this is arranged on the battlefield in the south.
Chen Qingzhi thought of this, so he had no objection to Shangfeng's arrangement, no matter where it was arranged, it was a war, it was a little devil, as long as it could hit the little devil hard, it would be the same no matter which position it was in.
Moreover, arranging to fight in the south has some advantages for the independent brigade.
At least you don't have to suffer from the Japanese army's concentrated fire!
After all, Chen Qingzhi sent that clear message before, and the Japanese army will definitely regard their independent brigade as a thorn in the flesh, and this battle of Xuzhou, if it is in the north, maybe let the little devils target.
When the time comes, the Japanese army will send a large army to attack, and I am afraid that the independent brigade may really die before it can be dispatched.
Therefore, Chen Qingzhi waved his hand to stop their discussion, and said: "Where to fight is not to fight? Can't you fight well in the south?! ”
"Since Shangfeng asked us to go to Dingyuan to build a defensive position, then let's go, what are we doing with these complaints! Do you still want to disobey orders on the battlefield? Chen Qingzhi glared at Wang Yachuan, who was coaxing, and said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, everyone present shrunk their necks and didn't dare to speak.
Glancing at everyone present, Chen Qingzhi walked to the wall to open the curtain, revealing the combat map hanging on the wall, and then said: "This time in the Battle of Xuzhou, the total number of troops participating in the battle on both sides in the early stage has reached hundreds of thousands, and it can be expected that in the follow-up, there will definitely be a steady stream of troops from both sides participating in the battle!" ”
"In a large-scale battle of this scale, although our independent brigade has more than 8,000 people, if we want to retreat in one piece, it is impossible! Even, if there is a slight accident, there will be a danger of total annihilation! ”
"So, this time, you all have to work hard! Hold on to the heart of thin ice, and do brave and diligent things! You understand? ”
Hearing this, everyone nodded, with a cautious face.
Although I complained just now, everyone attached great importance to this battle in their hearts.
They all know that in such a battle, the proportion of their independent brigade is really not worth mentioning!
If you're not careful, you're in danger of being wiped out!
This is not in line with their original intention, what they want is to fight devils and kill Japanese criminals, but they are not going to send them to death!
Therefore, in this case, everyone's face is solemn.
Seeing their expressions, Chen Qingzhi suddenly smiled again, and said loudly: "Although the Japanese army is menacing this time, they have a fatal flaw!" If we grasp it well, our independent brigade will not be able to deal a severe blow to the Japanese army! ”
"What do you see?" Hearing this, everyone asked out loud.
"Not bad!" Chen Qingzhi smiled slightly, picked up the baton on the table, pointed at the combat map on the wall, centered on Xuzhou, and circled all the surrounding five provinces, and then said: "Look! ”
"Although the Japanese army gathered heavy troops to attack Xuzhou this time, they were divided into two directions: the North China Front Army and the Central China Front Army!"
"The Central China Front took the southern end of the Jinpu Railway as the main point, attempted to attack Chuxian from the north of the Yangtze River, and then went north along the Chihe, Dingyuan, and Linhuai Pass, and approached the center of Xuzhou, and the Japanese army in the north wanted to go south in the area of Ludi and Pingjin, and along the northern end of the Jingpu Railway, Yishui, Linyi, Jining, Heze, and Juxian, encircle and go south to Tengxian, Lincheng and other places, and then invade Taierzhuang and take Xuzhou!"
"Such a strategic policy is very direct, and the goal of the Japanese army is also very clear!"
"And my fifth theater in the south is to arrange a defense line in the area of the Hun River and the Huai River, with heavy troops to guard it, to stop the Japanese army in the north, because Han Fuqu abandoned Ludi, so that the Yellow River defense line was taken by the Japanese army, and can only be arranged in Tengxian County, Lincheng area, in this way, the Japanese army was cut by our troops in the early stage, and the Japanese army was divided into two parts!"
"The two little devils tried to annihilate our main force and living forces in the first battle of Xuzhou, and then connect their North China and Central China Fronts, but now, the two Japanese troops are still fighting separately!"
"Such a strategy, I think everyone here must understand, this is very unfavorable in military warfare! It's just that the Japanese army didn't care because they were so well equipped! ”
"But this gives us a chance!"
"As long as we can stop the Japanese army in the south, and then move our army north, gather heavy troops and fight a decisive battle with the Japanese army in the north, this battle of Xuzhou will definitely have the possibility of victory!" Chen Qingzhi's last sentence was conclusive and said firmly.
