War is transforming people's thinking and actions, the army accustomed to victory and the army accustomed to defeat, the thinking of generals and soldiers is completely different, the victor always underestimates the strength of the opponent, and the loser always overestimates the strength of the enemy. /.0M\\ In the previous life, a brigade of Japanese soldiers dared to run after the squadron of an army, and the PLA of a platoon dared to attack a regiment of Kuomintang troops, which was the behavior under the guidance of this ideology.

It was unthinkable to let Liao Lei take such an ambush a year ago, but a year later he not only did it, but also took the initiative to do it, to put it bluntly, it was actually a different idea brought about by victory. He defeated Susumu Fujita in Shou County and again in Huainan, and successive victories gave him the courage to take the initiative to attack, only for the hapless Fujita Susumu to be defeated by him for the third time.

Li Yannian's Second Army and the Gui Elite Seventh Army roared out of the mountains and forests like two long-dormant cheetahs, fiercely pounced on Fujita Jin's tired body, tearing off pieces of bloody flesh.

In an instant, the silent mountains turned into a battlefield of flesh and blood, with the sound of cannons endless, the sound of gunfire like weaving, and the shouts spread throughout the entire Shuangtou Mountain.

In the face of the surging squadron, Fujita regained his composure after the initial panic, he was not afraid of being ambushed, but instead thought it was an opportunity to defeat the squadron in the southern section of Jinpu Road in one fell swoop.

The 3rd Division was worthy of being the elite of the Japanese army, and its officers had very rich combat experience, so they quickly stabilized the troops and returned fire to the squadrons on the hills on both sides. The 5th Brigade of the vanguard was the first to withstand the attack of the 2nd Army, and the 29th Brigade and Regiment guarding the division headquarters immediately launched an attack on the hills on both sides, taking only one charge to take two hills, but the Japanese offensive ended there.

The 170th and 171st Divisions of the Seventh Army entangled the 29th Brigade to compete for two hills, and the 172nd Division launched a fierce attack on the junction of the 5th Brigade and the 29th Brigade in an attempt to break up the Japanese army.

However, the last baggage troops of the Japanese army were hit hard by the 48th Army and the 92nd Army, and the combat effectiveness of the baggage troops was much worse than that of the field troops. Fujita Jin was forced to call back the cavalry wing for reinforcements, but the cavalry was greatly reduced in the mountains and fields, and was killed and wounded by the fire of the squadron, with heavy casualties, and Fujita was forced to send a brigade from the 29th Brigade to reinforce again, and the Japanese army fell into a complete passivity.

The fierce battle lasted for three whole days, Fujita Jin was never able to get rid of passivity, the troops were besieged between two peaks within a radius of five miles, the squadron firmly held the initiative, and the Japanese army held on hard in the midst of hunger and cold.

The news of Fujita's siege reached Nanjing, and Shunroku Hata was furious, he didn't expect that the squadron would dare to encircle and annihilate the main division of the Japanese army so close to Nanjing, he couldn't sit back and watch the third division be annihilated, nor could he sit back and watch the consequences of Jinpu Road being cut off by the squadron, so he couldn't care about the 75th Army Zhou Zhe, and ordered the third division to relieve the siege, and worried that the 111 brigade was insufficient, and urgently transferred the 11th division from the front line to the south, completely Liao Lei, and ensure the transportation safety of the southern section of Jinpu Road.

"Well done! Liao Yannong did a great job! I'm going to give him credit! After Zhuang Jihua received the report that Liao Lei surrounded the 3rd Division and the 11th Division to transfer south, he jumped up in surprise and slammed his fist on the table, causing the cups on the table to clang.

The situation on the southern front was like a boulder pressing on his heart, the Japanese offensive was fierce, and the troops on the southern front retreated step by step, but he did not dare to easily increase troops on the southern front, because the Japanese attack on the eastern front also increased.

After the loss of Tai'an, the 60th Army could not stand in Pingyin, and Du Yuming led his troops to retreat to Dongping and establish a defensive position on the south bank of the Daqing River

After the Japanese army on the eastern front crossed the Taishan Mountains, the advantage of artillery fire was fully demonstrated, and the Dawen River in the ice period was not as dangerous as imagined, and the hands and feet of the Japanese army that were tied in the narrow mountains could finally be deployed, and the four divisions launched a fierce attack along the Dawen River and the Daqing River, and the huge gap in equipment finally gave the Japanese army the advantage, and Sun Lianzhong asked Zhuang Jihua for help after two days of hard work.

When the defense line of the Dawen River was frequently urgent, although Zhang Zizhong in the middle of the road received reinforcements from the new 22nd Division, the situation still did not improve, and the Japanese offensive was still fierce.

The Japanese army on the entire southern and eastern fronts were desperately attacking, and the purpose of the Japanese army was now very clear, that is, to cooperate with the main force of the Honma Siege and Annihilation of the Fifth Theater of Operations from the northern front.

The only reserve in Zhuang Jihua's hands now is Yang Sen's 24th Group Army, but this group army was divided into two divisions by him, Yang Sen led the 20th Army to prepare for battle on the front line in Tengxian County, Zaozhuang, and the 47th Army led by Li Jiayu was in Yanzhou, and two of the divisions were still in Jining. He did not dare to use these two armies easily, this was the last force, once it was put into it, and he was entangled by the Japanese army, he would not have any mobile strength.

The whole battle situation took a turn for the better because of Liao Lei's bold attack, and after the 11th Division left, the Japanese offensive on the southern front was bound to slow down, and Zhuang Jihua breathed a sigh of relief.

Gong Chu saw that Zhuang Jihua fell silent again after being excited, so he boldly suggested: "Commander, I think we can launch a limited attack on the southern front, first drive the Japanese army across the Lan River, stabilize the southern front, attract the 11th Division, and give Liao Lei more time to encircle and annihilate the 3rd Division." ”

Zhuang Jihua frowned slightly when he heard this, this Gong Chu has shown good tactical ability during this time, but Zhuang Jihua also found that his problem is that he is slightly inferior in strategy, which is a step worse than Xu Zuyi, at least Xu Zuyi will not make such a suggestion.

"You're a good chief of operations, but you didn't say it right this time, Southern Front? The southern front is not the key," Zhuang Jihua shook his head and said: "To break the Japanese attack, the key is Honma, and only by defeating Honma Masaharu can the entire battle be reversed." ”

Gong Chu was stunned for a moment, and then understood, a trace of shame appeared on his face, he understood that he was ** sick again, just like in the Soviet area, he attached too much importance to immediate interests, and the whole battle situation flowed quickly in his head like a movie, admitting that what Zhuang Jihua said was right, and Honma Masaharu was the key.

"Director Gong, I want to take a risk." Zhuang Jihua hesitated and said, his eyes flickered, obviously he hadn't made up his mind yet, Gong Chu waited quietly, and after a while, Zhuang Jihua continued: "I want to hand over Jining's two divisions to Chief of Staff Xu." ”

Gong Chu understood why Zhuang Jihua hesitated, Jining put two divisions originally had two roles, one of which was to prevent Heze from being lost and the Japanese army outflanking from west to east; Another role was to reinforce the Eastern Front, especially Yanzhou, when it was critical. Handed over these two divisions to Xu Zuyi, once Ryosuke Isoya broke through the Dawen River, Yanzhou would become empty.

"Commander Zhuang, I think that the direction of Heze is not a shortage of troops," Gong Chu said hesitantly: "There is already a group army here, and there are two other integrated armies, with a total strength of up to 160,000, and the ratio of troops is three to one. ”

"And what do you think is the reason?" Zhuang Jihua asked, Gong Chu's opinion made him a little interested.

"The lowly position thinks that it is a tactical problem, but there is a specific place, and the lowly position does not understand the actual situation on the battlefield and does not know what to evaluate." Gong Chu didn't dare to say anything, and he didn't dare to offend Xu Zuyi too much, he finally came to this position, and the future finally saw a glimmer of light, and he must not fight in this matter.

Zhuang Jihua smiled lightly, staring at Gong Chu sharply, Gong Chu's heart trembled, and the secret in his heart seemed to be seen through.

"Director Gong," Zhuang Jihua retracted his gaze lightly, returned to his desk and picked up his coffee before saying slowly, "You are from the Communist Party,"

A layer of fine sweat immediately broke out on the corner of Gong Chu's forehead, this stain had always been an obstacle to his promotion, and now Zhuang Jihua shook it out again, and his heart was very uneasy.

"Actually, it's nothing, you don't have the mentality of gain and loss, isn't it just to change a belief, believe in this thing, say he's there, say he's not there, he's not there, and GCD is not as good as they advertise." Zhuang Jihua talked eloquently, but Gong Chu was a little dumbfounded, not because of the words of attacking GCD, but because of his understanding of faith, which was incredible.

"I trust you and give you the opportunity to make the most of your talents."

Gong Chu understood what Zhuang Jihua meant, and gave you a chance, if you can't catch it, then you can't blame me. Before he could say anything, Yang Yuchun hurried in.

"Report, Chief Bai is in a hurry."

Zhuang Jihua's heart suddenly sank, and his whole body was excited, and a bad feeling arose: "Read." ”

"Commander Zhuang of the Fifth Theater, our 22nd Group Army conquered Puyang, annihilated most of the Japanese Mizukawa Wing, killed the Japanese Wing Commander Mizukawa Osa, the Japanese reinforcement 35th Division rushed to the front line yesterday, the 23rd Army was unfavorable, the Japanese army broke through the Weihe defense line, and the vanguard of the 101st Division of the Japanese reinforcements will arrive in Anyang within two days, and order your troops to increase the intensity of the attack and annihilate Honma Masaharu as soon as possible."

After listening to the telegram, Zhuang Jihua couldn't help but want to get angry in his heart, the 35th Division rushed to the front line yesterday, such an important situation was actually sent today, and the 21st Army's capture of Puyang has only now been transmitted, I really don't know what Bai Chongxi is doing.

Zhuang Jihua suppressed the anger in his heart: "Call back, obey the order, and prepare to add two divisions of the 47th Army to encircle and annihilate Honma." In addition, we hope to report on changes in the enemy situation in the First War Zone in a timely manner. ”

If he hadn't made up his mind before receiving Bai Chongxi's telegram, now that he had made up his mind, no matter what happened to the eastern and southern fronts, Honma from the north to the south must be annihilated and clear the back road.

Bai Chongxi and Zhuang Jihua both ignored a variable, Zhongdao, Zhuang Jihua believed that there was a brigade in Dingtao, which was enough to defend the seven or eight thousand people in Zhongdao, while Bai Chongxi believed that the 74th Army had been sent to pursue this "small" force with no backup and no supplement, and their impact on this battle with more than one million people would not be too great.

But they were all wrong, and Nakajima didn't act as they thought.
