Chapter 1201 - Already Discussed (Page 1/1)

Shangyi Town is located 50 kilometers east of Huizhou, and it is currently the headquarters of the Provisional Ninth Army.

With the failure of the 201st Division and the Honorary Fourth Division to attack Huizhou, the troops had to begin to abandon the attack, and the commander of the 201st Division, Fang Chaoqun, and the commander of the Honorary Fourth Division, Zhang Wenbin, both came to the military headquarters.

The armored units of the 201st Division appeared in Huizhou, which became the focus of the care of the Japanese aviation units, and bombers constantly came to bomb the armored units they found.

At 4 p.m. on 14 November, Zhao Lerong, chief of staff of the 47th Group Army, arrived at the military headquarters of the Provisional Ninth Army in Shangyi Town.

After coming to the military headquarters, Zhao Lerong immediately convened an operational meeting, and those who participated in the operational meeting this time, in addition to Fang Chaoqun and Zhang Wenbin, the commanders of the 201st Division and the Honorary Fourth Division also attended the meeting, and Liang Zerui, the commander of the artillery brigade who was assigned to the Temporary Ninth Army, and Chen Haojie, the deputy brigade commander, also rushed to the military headquarters of the Temporary Ninth Army.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it must be clear to everyone that the Japanese army has adopted a defensive posture this time, although our army has superiority in numbers and weapons, but it does not have air supremacy, and the Japanese army, relying on strong fortifications, has repelled our group attacks several times in a row, which has dealt us a great blow. The commander-in-chief deployed the Provisional Ninth Army and the artillery brigade here in Huizhou in the hope that the Provisional Ninth Army could quickly break through the Japanese defenses, capture Huizhou, and completely disrupt the deployment of the Japanese army. ”

"The responsibility for the failure of this troop battle does not lie with you, the General Headquarters also has to bear some responsibility, and we really did not expect the Japanese army to defend like this. But the Japanese army has dug anti-tank trenches, they want to stop our attack, this is a complete dream, tonight we will continue to attack Huizhou, before tomorrow dawn, I hope to be able to hold the next combat meeting in Huizhou. ”

Zhao Lerong stood in front of the map, his eyes looked at the officers present, and he said in a serious tone.

"Chief of Staff, we have already discussed, this time the troops will attack, I will go to the Fifth Armored Regiment to command, Division Commander Fang Chaoqun and Deputy Division Commander Jiang Quan will go to the First Armored Battalion and the Second Armored Battalion to command, if we still can't take Huizhou this time, we are willing to accept any disposition from the General Headquarters." Yin Jinshan, commander of the Ninth Army, looked at Chief of Staff Zhao Lerong and said.

Zhao Lerong nodded, he glanced at the officers, and then began to issue operational arrangements.

Because in the previous attack, the barbed wire and minefield of the Japanese army near Huizhou had already been destroyed, so in the next period of time, all units of the Ninth Army were making preparations.

In Qingyuan, Quang Ninh, and other places, the artillery units of the 62nd Army and the New Seventh Army, which were temporarily reorganized as the Sixth Division, focused on shelling barbed wire and minefields on the periphery of the Japanese army.

For an afternoon, the Chinese troops temporarily stopped attacking the Japanese troops, and they only launched heavy artillery bombardment.

The Japanese artillery units occasionally counterattacked, but they would never engage in artillery battles with the Chinese troops, especially the devil soldiers here in Huizhou, whose artillery basically did not return fire.

Huizhou, the headquarters of the 104th Division of the Japanese Army, the commander of the Lieutenant General Division, Kizaburo Hamamoto, stood in front of the map at this time, and after defeating the Chinese armored forces, he was still in a good mood.

It's just that the Chinese troops have not started to attack for a long time, which makes Kizaburo Hamamoto start thinking about what the Chinese troops are doing.

"Your Excellency Division Commander, at present, the troops of the 107th Brigade have begun to rebuild their positions, but there are certain gaps in the junction of the 107th Brigade and the 132nd Brigade, if the Chinese troops turn to attack the positions of the 132nd Brigade and Regiment, I am afraid that the 132nd Brigade will also destroy the main position and set up anti-tank trenches to stop the Chinese armored forces."

Ryo Sakuma, chief of staff of the 104th Division, came to Kizaburo Hamamoto, and he pointed to the junction of the 107th Brigade and the 132nd Brigade on the map, and said in a solemn tone.

The 107th Brigade is to focus on guarding Huizhou, one is to extend the garrison to Longmen, and the 132nd Brigade is to focus on guarding Longmen, and at the same time, it is also necessary to expand the garrison in the direction of Huizhou and Fogang.

There is a gap here at the junction of the 107th Brigade and the 132nd Brigade, and Ryo Sakuma is worried that the troops of the Ninth Army will attack here.

"I have already contacted the Lieutenant General of the 18th Division, the division commander Chang Nachengyi, and the 18th Division will strengthen the dispatch of troops to Fogang to take over the garrison of the 132nd Brigade, and the focus of our garrison is here in Huizhou, so I have ordered the 132nd Brigade and the 107th Brigade to strengthen the defense of the joint. But now that the Chinese army has not launched an attack for a long time, it is really a little puzzling, what do they want to do? ”

Kizaburo Hamamoto stared at the map, a serious expression on his face, and said in a solemn tone.

Ryo Sakuma shook his head, where would he guess the battle plan of the Chinese troops.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, at present, the positions of the 18th Division and the 106th Division have begun to be shelled, but we have only suffered a small part of the shelling here, and the Chinese troops seem to want to destroy the barbed wire and minefields, and I suspect that they will definitely launch a night attack."

After pondering for a while, Ryo Sakuma immediately reported.

The Chinese troops will launch a night attack, and Kizaburo Hamamoto can naturally think of it, but Kizaburo Hamamoto does not know where the Chinese troops will attack.

Kizaburo Hamamoto did not respond to Ryo Sakuma's report, he still stared at the map and pondered.

In the blink of an eye, night began, and darkness began to fall.

The Japanese front-line troops began to enter full alert, and they all knew that if the Chinese troops did not attack during the day, they would definitely attack at night.

At this time, here in the Honorary Fourth Division, the division commander Zhang Wenbin was holding a submachine gun, and his eyes looked at the officers and soldiers of the Honorary Eighth Regiment, with a serious expression on his face.

The 8th Regiment of Honor strengthened the mountain artillery battalion directly under the division headquarters, and the Honor 9th Regiment directly under the infantry artillery company and weapon support company, and this time they will serve as the main attack.

And all the engineering units of the Ninth Army began to assemble, and they would use the tools at hand to open up a road in the anti-tank gun trenches that could supply the tanks to pass.

Zhang Wenbin, commander of the 4th Division, will lead the troops to set off first, and they will first cross the anti-tank trenches through ladders, and then occupy part of the position to cover the movement of the engineer troops.

"I only ask for one thing, cross the anti-tank trenches, occupy part of the Japanese positions, cover the movement of the sappers, understand?"

Zhang Wenbin's eyes looked at the soldiers, and he gave a loud order.

"Yes, Commander." The fighters immediately began to reply.

Zhang Wenbin waved his hand, and more than 3,000 officers and soldiers began to open up the battle formation, and they began to disappear into the night.

The engineer units were on standby, and as soon as the 8th Regiment of Honor crossed the anti-tank trenches, they would immediately go into action.

"Chief of Staff, the Honorable Eighth Regiment has begun to attack." Xie Hui, chief of staff of the Ninth Army, came to Zhao Lerong's side and immediately reported.
