7.73 Lure the enemy deeper

"Youchen! Your 121st Division is making such a fuss, Tang Enbo is afraid that he won't be able to sit still in the back! I don't think it's dawn, the 20th Army will definitely attack! ”

Xu Zuyi was rarely so happy, and his appearance of looking at Huang Haoran with a smile made Huang Haoran a little unaccustomed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Wang Hongshao, who was standing by the map, also looked proud, as if they had all seen through Tang Enbo's appearance.

Chief Li's ideas are obviously much more detailed than those of Xu Zuyi and Wang Hongshao, and the current focus of the 5th Theater is to lure the Segu detachment in Teng County to the south, rather than to mobilize Tang Enbo's 20th Army to participate in the battle.

Sun Lianzhong's troops have been on standby in Taierzhuang for a while, and the sappers of the 25th Group Army have also used the night to repeatedly strengthen the fortifications of Taierzhuang. Isn't that a joke?

If you want to accomplish the same predetermined combat objectives as Taierzhuang in Teng County, it will not be a little more difficult! Let's not talk about how to cut the connection between the Seya detachment and the Isoya division, it will not be easy to mobilize troops to besiege Tengxian!

The quality of the Chinese army is still relatively backward, and it is an impossible task to command hundreds of thousands of troops to gallop hundreds of miles to carry out movement operations! Chief Li has neither the heart nor the interest to conduct such an experiment in the 5th theater!

The most ideal result of this battle in Tengxian County is that the Japanese army is biting the 121st Division and following south, but judging from the current attack strength of the devils, it seems that Major General Seya Kei can't make up his mind! Could it be that this bloody battle of the 121st Division in Teng County was destined to become a useless exercise?

Thinking of this, Chief Li couldn't help but feel a little panicked in his chest, the Battle of Xuzhou was extremely unsmooth from the beginning, first Han Fuqu retreated to Shandong without a fight, and then the Central China Front Army in the south arrived uninvited, Chief Li tried his best to support the situation in front of him, and invited Huang Haoran, Tang Enbo, Sun Lianzhong, these strong reinforcements, originally wanted to fight to the death against the Japanese army in Taierzhuang! Unexpectedly, the devils of Linyi and Teng County actually became uncooperative at the same time!

Time also! Luck also! There are some things that really can't be forced!

"Degong! Don't be distressed! As the saying goes, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge! As long as the Japanese try to get their hands on Xuzhou, Ryosuke Isoya and Seishiro Itagaki must have one of them who can't help it! We are waiting for the net in Taierzhuang, and we don't believe that we can't catch a big fish! The worst situation is nothing more than the failure of the plan! I believe that there is no problem with your tactics! Taierzhuang can't be used, we can use it in Zhangjiazhuang, Lijiazhuang or even Huangjiazhuang! As long as it's the right thing, we should stick to it! ”

Huang Haoran saw that Chief Li's face was not very good, so he stepped forward to reassure Chief Li. Seeing that the trend of the battle of Taierzhuang is getting more and more weird, in fact, Huang Haoran is also a little nervous! Fortunately, the 5th Theater Commander's Department has gathered local famous generals such as Chief Li and Xu Zuyi, and Huang Haoran believes that with him, a "winning general", he should be able to respond to all changes with the same!

In the final analysis, the troops invested by the Japanese army in North China on the northern line of Jinpu Road are only a few divisions! Shouichi Terauchi has not yet the strength to swallow these hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops in the 5 theater in one gulp! Even if the Battle of Taierzhuang could not be fought in the end, as long as the troops in Xuzhou could be transferred, the strategic attempts of the Japanese would only fail! In other words, no matter how the battle of Xuzhou is fought, the Chinese army has already occupied an invincible position first!

Huang Haoran's words made Chief Li's heart warm, looking at the deputy commander in front of him who was exchanged for the "three conditions", Chief Li felt a lot in his heart!

Oh, yes! If Taierzhuang can't fight, you can fight with devils in Zhangjiazhuang, Lijiazhuang or even Huangjiazhuang! But at that time, will there be a "famous general" like Huang Haoran in his hands, and an elite like the 25th Group Army?

It is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen! If you want to win a war, many factors are indispensable! finally gathered all this in Taierzhuang, if he lost the fighter, it would be difficult for Chief Li to forgive himself!

"Youchen! You said that the Seya detachment was reluctant to go south, what are you waiting for? Could it be that the Japanese army is really so cautious now? Don't dare to cross the thunder pool without heavy equipment and reinforcements? If this is the case, it will be even more difficult to find fighters to annihilate the Japanese army in the future! ”

Chief Li's words made Huang Haoran not know what to say! Originally, at this time in 1938, the Japanese army should have been unscrupulous and fierce on the land of China, and it was precisely by seizing the arrogance of the Japanese army that the historical Chief Li created the Taierzhuang victory! However, due to the arrival of Huang Haoran, countless wounds were left for the Japanese army. After one division after another was severely damaged by Huang Haoran, the devil learned to be obedient! They have become cautious! The Central China Dispatch Army on the banks of the Huai River is the best example! If there is no Huang Haoran's victory in Songhu, there is no Huang Haoran's victory in Lishui in Nanjing! Will the Japanese swallow the sulking breath of a wing being wiped out so easily?

History has begun to change quietly! Everything became a little plausible......

"Degong! This time it should have been an accident, first we annihilated a wing of the Central China Dispatch Army on the north bank of the Huai River, and then Zhang Xinchen withstood the Sakamoto detachment of the Itagaki Division in Linyi, and the 121st Division attacked the logistics unit of the Seya detachment at Liangxiadian. Originally, if only one or two of these three things happened, it would not necessarily cause the situation like today, but all three things happened, and if I were Terauchi Shouichi, I am afraid that I would have to order the troops to wait and see first......"

Huang Haoran vigorously followed Chief Li's thoughts to explain Chief Li, and now several generals in the Xuzhou Theater Command have fallen into their own misunderstandings, as the only person who can understand the direction of the battle in the future, Huang Haoran has the obligation to stand up and stabilize the morale of the army.

"Degong! Youchen is right! This time it's really a coincidence! This cheap thing can't all be occupied by our 5 war zones, Terauchi Shouichi is a strong general in the Japanese army, and it makes sense to notice something! I still strongly support what Youchen said before, the Japanese should not be aware of our intentions! According to news from Wuhan, the North China Front Army is still concentrating troops and equipment to Linyi and Teng County, and Terauchi Shouichi not only has no intention of diverting his route to attack Xuzhou, but also has a bit of a way to go to the black! ”

The conversation between Huang Haoran and Chief Li attracted Xu Zuyi in the distance, as the chief of staff appointed by Chief Li, Xu Zuyi was obviously more able to touch Chief Li's heart, and he threw out the news of Wuhan as soon as he came up, just to let Chief Li eat a reassuring pill.

Chief Li naturally knows very well what Xu Zuyi is doing this for, and as for the so-called Wuhan news, Chief Li has always only believed three points. Dai Yunong is indeed able to turn the rain and clouds in the government, but let the "military commander" confront the Japanese on the intelligence front, and Chief Li feels that the "military commander" is still a little behind!

As for the "Central Union", not to mention! Just 10 days ago, the "Central Unification" swore in front of the committee that the Japanese Government had plans to stop the war, and at that time Chief Li scoffed at this conclusion of the "Central Unification"!

At that time, the people of the north and south had already embarked on the journey of encircling Xuzhou, and the "Central Unification" thought that the Japanese military department was as idiotic as them? Sending the 7th Division to visit the 5th Theater of Operations?

No wonder Dai Yunong always said that "Zhongtong" is a waste of dim sum!

"Yan Mou! I don't lack optimism here! But we can't eat this thing! Teng County's Segu Detachment has not gone south to Taierzhuang for a long time, will my 2nd Army have to wait in Taierzhuang for the rest of its life? I really didn't expect Ryosuke Isoya to be so cunning! That Seishiro Itagaki is a bit exaggerated! If he had known, he would have let Zhang Xinchen let the Sakamoto detachment go to Taierzhuang, maybe he would have eaten dumplings by now! ”

Although Huang Haoran knew that what Chief Li said was angry, he still felt that Chief Li had neglected Zhang Zizhong a little, and the Itagaki Division was easy to fight? Then we have to see who is standing opposite the Itagaki Division! Not long ago, Seishiro Itagaki swept across Shanxi with his 5th Division, if the Itagaki Division was really big, wouldn't Yan Xishan's Jin Sui Army be a bunch of stupid pigs?

Only Zhang Zizhong can rely on his own strength to resist the Itagaki Division and Linyi! With any other commander in the 5th War Zone, I am afraid that the battle of Linyi will not be as smooth as under the command of Zhang Zizhong!

Of course, the two commanders of the 25th Army were not included......

"Zhang Xinchen is fighting the enemy with a mortal heart, and Seishiro Itagaki can be regarded as a good opponent! Don't lose unjustly! ”

Huang Haoran's words can be regarded as correcting Zhang Zizhong's name, Xu Zuyi didn't expect that Zhang Zizhong would be taken so seriously in Huang Haoran's eyes, and he would actually point it out in front of Chief Li, this is really not a little face for Chief Li!

"Oh.... Right, right! Youchen is very right! But I have increased Itagaki's ambition and extinguished Zhang Xinchen's prestige! Zhang Xinchen was a tiger general when he was in the Northwest Army! In the battle of Linyi, the 'traitor' hat on Zhang Xinchen's head should also be removed......"

It is also thanks to Chief Li's broad-mindedness that he can lower his profile so much, if Huang Haoran said such a thing in front of the highest authorities, although he will not be punished on the spot, it will be certain that he will be put in small shoes in the future!

"I hope Zhang Xinchen can let go of the 'traitor' thing earlier! Leading troops to fight is the most taboo and distracted, and Zhang Xinchen can only give full play to his skills if he doesn't care about things other than combat! Let the Japanese have one more fierce rival! ”

Huang Haoran's expectations for Zhang Zizhong are completely from the heart, he really doesn't want Zhang Zizhong to always carry the burden of "traitor" on his back, so that in the end he actually used his life to get rid of it!

"If Zhang Xinchen can see through all this, wouldn't he become the second Huang Youchen? In fact, you are not him, he is not you, what you are good at is often what Zhang Xinchen lacks! If I can really change a person's personality in a few words, then wouldn't I have a lot of 'victorious generals' in my country? ”

Huang Haoran had to admire Xu Zuyi, the chief of staff, for his officialdom skills, and in just a few simple words, Xu Zuyi not only praised Huang Haoran and Zhang Zizhong, but also brought Chief Li's gaffe just now, leaving a conclusion that everyone was happy about.

After listening to Xu Zuyi's words, Chief Li smiled and was silent, and Huang Haoran also took the opportunity to step down and shifted the topic to the Tengxian battlefield.

"Degong! Now that the Seya detachment has made up its mind that it will not go south, can the battle of the 121st Division in Tengxian end ahead of schedule? The Japanese artillery has an obvious advantage, and we still suffer a loss if we concentrate our forces in such a small area......"

Seeing that Huang Haoran had once again raised military questions, Chief Li moved to the side of the operational map, and the operational staff officers of the theater headquarters had already inserted the markers representing the 121st Division and the Sichuan Army on the map. Looking at those red dots and blue dots, the situation of the enemy and the enemy on the battlefield in Tengxian County was clear at a glance.

"The actual number of troops invested by the Japanese army should not exceed one wing! However, since Kei Seya has the 1st Brigade of Field Heavy Artillery in his hands, we must be extra careful! Kei Seya won't use this trump card with him, he must be waiting for the opportunity! ”

In response to Chief Li's words, Xu Zuyi and Wang Hongshao both nodded in agreement. In the hearts of Xu Zuyi and Wang Hongshao, the existence of the 1st Brigade of Field Heavy Artillery is also a major threat, and the artillery unit invested by the 5th Theater in the Battle of Taierzhuang this time has only one Fourth Artillery Regiment, which is much worse than the Isogu Division in terms of both the quantity and quality of artillery!

Whether the fortifications of Taierzhuang can withstand the fierce bombardment of the Japanese army's 15 cm heavy artillery is also one of the important factors that determine the victory or defeat of this meeting!

Huang Haoran's worries about the Japanese artillery were much lighter, and he didn't think that the Japanese artillery would have any advantage in the next Battle of Taierzhuang! Huang Haoran's self-confidence mainly comes from two things.

First, the 1st Brigade of the Japanese Field Heavy Artillery did not have all the staff there, of which the 10th Wing of the Field Heavy Artillery owed 1 brigade and two squadrons, and the 2nd Wing of the Field Heavy Artillery owed a brigade, in fact, the two wings of the field heavy artillery were equivalent to only one! On the other hand, on the side of the Chinese army, although it is true that Chief Li has only one Fourth Artillery Regiment in his hands, Huang Haoran's 25th Group Army also has a directly subordinate artillery regiment, and the 99th Army and the 100th Army also each have a group of directly subordinate artillery.

The second is because the 121st Division brought back 12 15 cm caliber howitzers from Liangxiadian. You must know that the 1st Brigade of the Japanese Army's field heavy artillery will not be equipped with too many 15 cm caliber howitzers, at most dozens of them! The 121 howitzers pulled away by the 121st Division are likely to be half owned by the 1st Brigade of Field Heavy Artillery, and no matter how bad they are, they will account for at least one-third of the total number of 15 cm caliber howitzers of the Japanese army! In this way, the most advantageous large-caliber artillery of the Japanese army is no longer an exclusive deal, and Huang Haoran is now looking forward to seeing the duel between Chinese artillery and Japanese artillery!

"The firing range of the Japanese howitzer is about 10 kilometers, as long as you withdraw from this distance, the howitzer of the devil will not be able to work! Besides, this 15-centimeter cannon is not a magic weapon! Isn't the German-made 15 cm heavy gun we used on the Songhu battlefield just the Marine Corps Command of the Japanese Army? People are the key to war! Weapons are secondary ......"

Huang Haoran walked up to Chief Li and said what he thought of the Japanese artillery, and Xu Zuyi and Wang Hongshao couldn't help but nod their heads. After Huang Haoran finished talking about the devil artillery, he picked up the command pole placed in front of the map, and then clicked a few times in several places south of Teng County!

"I still have confidence in the combat effectiveness of the 121st Division, although I can't repel this attacking Japanese army, but it is more than enough for self-protection! I think that the Sichuan Army and the 20th Army Corps should go straight to Tengxian and put pressure on the Seya detachment to force Seya Kai to withdraw his troops, which is much stronger than concentrating tens of thousands of troops together as a target for Japanese artillery! Siege Wei to save Zhao! The idea is a little old, but as long as it works! ”

"Yes! Now it's up to him when he strikes! ”

Chief Li was quite appreciative of Huang Haoran's move to "encircle Wei and save Zhao", compared to strangling with the Japanese army's attacking troops, it was indeed easier to attack Teng County to hurt the Segu detachment! Chief Li also wants to take the opportunity to see where Kei Seya's bottom line is!

If the Japanese army would rather shrink to Tengxian and be attacked by the 20th Army Corps and the Sichuan Army, then the plan for the Battle of Taierzhuang may have to be revised......

"Report! The 20th Legion Emergency! ”

Tan Yaodong, the section chief of the Colonel of the Confidential Room, suddenly appeared at the door of the operations conference room, holding a blue folder in his hand, and his face was a little flushed.

Chief Li knew that it must be Tang Enbo's 20th Army Corps that attacked, and since Tengxian was attacked by the Japanese army, Chief Li sent a telegram to reprimand Tang Enbo. There have been many telegrams, and even these officers in the confidential room know that Tang Enbo retains his strength and refuses to resist Japan, and now Tan Yaodong is so excited, naturally Tang Enbo was forced to start the operation!

"Read!"

The word "reading" of Chief Li was almost shouted, and it seemed so full of neutrality! Xu Zuyi and Wang Hongshao also had smiles on their faces.

"Commander Li saw the seal

Zhi Tang Enbo was shocked to hear that the friendly 121st Division was under siege by the Japanese army in Teng County, and he was shocked

Worried! A few days ago, Teng County fell, and the people of the country scolded me for refusing to rescue General Wang in the 20th Legion, and now my 20th Legion has decided to correct its name with blood! Save the 121st Division from fire and water! Show the determination to resist Japan and serve the country! Commander Li Wangli gave permission for our regiment to attack Tengxian County......"

After Tan Yaodong read the whole telegram, he moved the corners of his mouth with some disdain, Tang Enbo's rhetoric may not even be able to deceive the fledgling students, but he still has to pretend to be "loyal to the country", it really makes people feel a little disgusting to think about it!

Chief Li and the others in the conference room did not have the leisure of Tan Yaodong, and the 20th Army Corps they had been waiting for was finally dispatched, and Tang Enbo opened this mouth, which means that the 20th Army Corps will officially join the Battle of Taierzhuang from today.

"Call back Towne! Order the 20th Army Corps to launch a fierce attack on the Japanese army in Tengxian with a strong force! The 22nd Army of the Sichuan Army will cooperate! The 121st Division doesn't have to worry about him, the theater has its own arrangements! ”

Out of affirmation of Tan Yaodong's professional ability, the colonel of the confidential room, Chief Li only said the meaning of the order, and handed over the rest of the writing work to Tan Yaodong......

***************************************************

"Good Li Delin! I will give Huang Haoran face, but you will take the opportunity to consume my 20 legions! Captain Guan! Take a good look! Li De's neighbors ignored the 121st Division and ordered me to send troops to attack Teng County, where the Japanese army was heavily hoarded! He's going to do both! Destroy the 121st Division and our 20th Army at the same time! Beware of miscellaneous cards! Beware of miscellaneous cards! How many times have I told you before? But did you listen? Now let's take a good look! Bloody facts! We treat the miscellaneous as allies, but they treat us as cannon fodder! If I hurt my muscles and bones in Teng County, how can I explain to the commission! ”

After reading Chief Lee's order, Tang Enbo sighed for a long time, and he kept complaining to his officers about Chief Lee's order. In Tang Enbo's view, he was able to unify the 20th Army Corps to rescue the 121st Division, and he really had no obligation to lead troops to attack a solid county town!

"The commander is right! Li Delin: This is obviously taking revenge on our 20 legions! The outside said that it was because we didn't save Wang Mingzhang that we died in Teng County, and now Li Delin wants us to attack Teng County, it is clear that the township used the blood of our Central Army to summon Wang Mingzhang's soul! Commander! We can't afford this! ”

Zhang Xuezhong, the commander of the 89th Division, seemed to have made up his mind to sing about Chief Li, and before Tang Enbo's fire was finished, Zhang Xuezhong took the initiative to stand up and start "singing".

"Master Zhang! You're going too far, aren't you? After all, Chief Li is now the commander of the theater of operations! It's a letter of appointment from Wuhan! What the hell do you want to do behind your back? I don't see any conspiracy here! It's just a tactic of 'encircling Wei to save Zhao"! ”

This time, there was no need for Guan Linzheng to go out in person, he brought Zheng Dongguo, the commander of the 2nd Division, and Zhang Yueming, the commander of the 25th Division.

Tang Enbo glanced at Zheng Dongguo who was talking with some annoyance, he now dislikes the army led by Guan Linzheng more and more, eating his Commander Tang's food but not thinking about him Commander Tang, this is a bit unauthentic!

"Does Gui Ting think this is Li Delin's tactic of 'encircling Wei to save Zhao'? How sure can you be? ”

Tang Enbo's voice was very cold, but in fact it was three points of questioning and seven points of demonstration.

"Commander! If you really want to take Teng County, Chief Li will definitely set a deadline in this order, and his subordinates read it just now, but in fact they didn't mention a word, since the war zone didn't really want Teng County, it could only be done to send the Segu Detachment back to help rescue the 121st Division......"

Zheng Dongguo's words were neither humble nor arrogant, reasonable and well-founded, and Tang Enbo couldn't help but be unconvinced, but in order to show that he Commander Tang was not very happy now, Tang Enbo handed over the task of attacking Teng County to Guan Linzheng's 52nd Army.

The coordinated attack of the 52nd Army and the Sichuan Army forced the attacking troops outside the county seat of Tengxian County to abandon the 121st Division and retreat behind the Japanese defensive line. Everything on the battlefield in Tengxian seems to be back to the starting point.

But at this time, God seemed to have played a joke with the Chinese army and the Japanese army at the same time. Two hours after Guan Linzheng's 52nd Army launched an attack on Tengxian, the weapons and reinforcements allocated by the North China Front from Jinan to the Seya detachment arrived at the same time!

And Ryosuke Isoya also rushed to the two stores with the main force of the 10th Division!

The plan to lure the enemy in the 5th theater of operations was completed in such a strange way...... (To be continued.) )
