Chapter 1686: Director Bai's Choice
Although Sun Weiguo was ordered by Bai Chongxi, Sun Weiguo is unwilling to say anything more now. To ยท
He can provide several combat plans, but which combat plan to deploy according to specifically, Sun Weiguo will not give his own suggestions.
Bai Chongxi, Chen Cheng, Zhang Fakui, no matter which of these three people is in the position of Sun Weiguo, there is no need for Sun Weiguo to make any decisions in front of them.
"Commander-in-Chief Sun, tell me your opinion first, what kind of combat plan do you think we will be able to win with more certainty?"
Chen Cheng looked at Sun Weiguo, and he asked directly.
"Weiguo, since Director Bai is the general, you can talk about it, the little devils are a big problem on our side, but in your eyes, they are probably nothing, the Japanese 21st Army's hundreds of thousands of devil soldiers were killed by you, and the rest of the devil soldiers fled from Hainan Island in embarrassment, and even the commander of the 21st Army was captured alive, how do you fight, I will definitely support you."
Zhang Fakui also said with a smile, now they are ready to directly let Sun Weiguo make a choice.
Bai Chongxi's eyes were staring at Sun Weiguo, and he really wanted to hear Sun Weiguo's views now, because he was quite satisfied with his two battle plans, and even if Sun Weiguo said the third battle plan, in Bai Chongxi's opinion, as long as the three divisions of Sun Weiguo's 47th Group Army participated, it was also a very good battle plan.
"I'll talk about concentrating forces to fight Kunlun Pass, and then attack Nanning, this plan seems to be good, there are not many Japanese troops in Guangxi, as long as we concentrate superior forces, we will definitely be able to win, but if we want to fight Kunlun Pass, we must take into account that the Japanese army is defending Kunlun Pass, if the Japanese army is defending Kunlun Pass, we want to conquer it, I'm afraid it will be difficult. In the course of the previous battle of Guangzhou, we also encountered stubbornly guarded devil soldiers, in my experience, once the Japanese army is stubbornly defended, we want to take Kunlun Pass, it will definitely not be simple. โ
"Secondly, we bypass Kunlun Pass and directly concentrate the main force to fight Nanning, there are certain loopholes in this battle plan, that is, we seem to bypass Kunlun Pass unexpectedly, and suddenly appear on the periphery of Nanning to fight, but it is difficult for our main force to pass through Kunlun Pass, and it is also difficult to replenish the baggage supply to the front line, once we can't take Nanning in a short time, then we will lose supplies, and we will also face the Japanese army on both sides."
"The last plan is that we besiege the Japanese troops in Qinzhou Bay and Longzhou to attract the Japanese army to send reinforcements, and when the Japanese reinforcements arrive, we are attacking the Japanese reinforcements, and there are also problems with this plan, that is, the Japanese troops in Qinzhou Bay will be directly supported by the navy and aviation, even the Japanese troops in Longzhou may be directly reinforced by the main force of the Fifth Division, if we can't knock out the Japanese reinforcements, the consequences will be very serious."
Sun Weiguo came to the map, he took the baton, pointed back and forth on the map, and said with a serious expression on his face.
After hearing Sun Weiguo's story, Bai Chongxi's brows furrowed tightly, he had also considered these situations, but he was not as detailed as Sun Weiguo thought.
looked at Sun Weiguo, Bai Chongxi had to admit that Sun Weiguo did have two shots, and it was not by chance that Sun Weiguo was able to achieve a great victory in the Battle of Guangzhou.
Before, Bai Chongxi always felt that Sun Weiguo was able to win the Battle of Guangzhou, which was a certain degree of luck, but now after hearing Sun Weiguo's words, he realized that this was not the case.
"Commander-in-Chief Sun, these three combat plans have certain flaws, so in your opinion, which combat plan will be better for us to choose?"
Chen Cheng stared at the map, and finally his eyes looked at Sun Weiguo, and he said with an inquiring expression.
"Chief Chen, this matter is still up to you and Director Bai to decide." Sun Weiguo smiled and waved his hand, and he put the baton aside.
When Chen Cheng heard Sun Weiguo's words of shirking, he couldn't help but shake his head, and his eyes could only look at Bai Chongxi helplessly.
Bai Chongxi had a contemplative expression on his face at this time, and he looked towards the map, obviously he was thinking.
The room began to become silent, and even the staff officers who were talking softly stopped talking, and everyone looked at Bai Chongxi, they were all waiting for Bai Chongxi's decision.
"Bypassing Kunlun Pass to attack Nanning seems to be unexpected, but in fact it is very dangerous, and this plan is not advisable for us. Besieging the Japanese army in Qinzhou Bay and Longzhou and attracting Japanese reinforcements to fight is also not advisable. Bai Chongxi stared at the map for a while, and he muttered to himself.
"Director Bai, since you have given up these two plans, it means that you are ready to concentrate your superior forces in Kunlun Pass first, take Kunlun Pass first, and then quickly go south to Nanning, and directly attack Nanning with the main force?"
After Chen Cheng heard Bai Chongxi's words, he looked at Bai Chongxi and said.
"Kunlun Pass is the northern gateway of Nanning, if our army wants to capture Nanning, it must first seize Kunlun Pass. But Kunlun Pass is a dangerous place, and we also have to defend it. Moreover, Minister Chen must also know the situation on Hainan Island, the Japanese army has gathered more than 200,000 people here, and if we take action against the Japanese army in Guangxi, then the Japanese troops on Hainan Island will definitely come to reinforce it. Therefore, if we want to carry out an operation, we must cut off the connection between Qinzhou Bay and Nanning, cut off the supply lines of the Japanese army, and at the same time prepare to block the Japanese reinforcements. โ
Bai Chongxi stood up, he came to the map, he took the baton, pointed to the road from Qinzhou Bay to Nanning, and said in a serious tone on his face.
"Director Bai, are you sure you want to capture Kunlun Pass first?" When Zhang Fakui heard Bai Chongxi's words, he realized that Bai Chongxi had made a decision.
"Seize Kunlun Pass first, and then attack Nanning, but before seizing Kunlun Pass, we must cut off the supply line between Qinzhou Bay and Nanning of the Japanese army, and we must also gather heavy troops between these two points to block the Japanese reinforcements, otherwise if the Japanese reinforcements come over, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Bai Chongxi slammed his baton on the position between Qinzhou Bay and Nanning, and he said with a serious expression on his face.
"The Japanese army has gathered more than 200,000 troops on Hainan Island, and as long as there is a battle here in Guangxi, the little devils on Hainan Island will definitely immediately reinforce it. If we don't send a strong force to cut off the supply lines of the Japanese army and garrison to intercept the Japanese reinforcements, the consequences will be unimaginable. โ
After Chen Cheng heard Bai Chongxi's words, he also nodded and said.
As Chen Cheng's words fell, the camp house in Guilin fell into silence again.
