Chapter 704: Seya Kai wants to break through
"Ahem, ahem......"
A series of coughs came out of the low room, like a sick old woman. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"General, eat something, you haven't eaten in a day." There was a rickety body wearing the uniform of a major general of the Japanese Army, covering his mouth, coughing incessantly, his eye sockets were deep, and his eyes were blood-red, like a wounded wolf.
"I don't eat, what's going on outside?"
"Our communication with the commander of the Sakamoto Brigade has been cut off, and the communications department is calling by radio, but there has been no response, and the Chinese Army has occupied Zaozhuang and completely cut us off from the division headquarters." Adjutant said.
"Where's the radio?"
"We are in contact, but we don't have enough power, the generator set has no diesel, and now we can barely provide power to the station with batteries."
"Yaga!"
"How many more do we have?"
"According to preliminary estimates, there are 4,000 soldiers who can still fight, there is a serious shortage of weapons and ammunition, less than half the base number of rifle shells per person, and 3,000 wounded and sick ......"
With such a little ammunition, it won't last long, and Seya Kai knows very well in his heart that even if he can get airdrop supplies, the number is limited, and the encirclement is constantly shrinking, and the rope stuck in his neck is getting tighter and tighter!
The Chinese can actually calm their breath and make the decision to attack themselves when the back road may be cut off at any time, and the commander must be unusual.
"Telegram from the division commander!"
"Hold on for three days!" Kei Seya crumpled the telegram directly into a ball and threw it into the burning fire, if there was an offensive like today, let alone three days, it was uncertain whether it would be able to hold out until dark tomorrow.
The last news came from Sakamoto Shun was that an elite Chinese army had been slaughtered from Ganlu Temple to the city of Yixian, and they were very well armed, as well as tanks and combat vehicles.
When Seya Kai heard it, he knew that the tank unit of the Chinese who had fought with him had returned, but what he didn't understand was how the Chinese let this disabled tank unit recover its combat effectiveness so quickly.
Due to the interruption of contact, he is not very clear about the specific situation on Sakamoto Shun's side.
You can't sit still, there is no such thing in Kai Seya's life creed, you have to find a way to save yourself, and it is not enough to count on others.
"Convene a meeting of officers above the junior level to discuss the countermeasures for breaking through!"
"Hay!"
Now no one can count on it, so I can only save myself.
The Fifth Theater Command, naturally, was jubilant, and after the fight on this day, the encirclement was almost reduced by half, and it also talked about the division and encirclement of the Japanese army.
This is a very good beginning.
"All the participating units fought very well, especially the new 38th Brigade and the 85th Army, one of these two troops completely occupied Zaozhuang and drove the Japanese army out of the strong stronghold, and the other was like a dog, driving the little devil into the county seat of Yixian, eliminating more than 2,000 Japanese troops, and capturing a large number of weapons and equipment."
At the summary meeting, Chief of Staff Xu Yanmou praised the 85th Army and the new 38th Brigade under Tang Keqin in public.
"Other troops also fought very well, I have written down all the credits, and after the meeting, I will report to the Wuhan Military Commission, and reward them one by one!"
"It's not yet time to reward meritorious deeds, but today's battle is really beautiful, it seems that Chief Li's insistence is right, we are fully capable of eating the Japanese troops in the encirclement in a short time!" Li Heling said, "However, in this Linyi side, the Itagaki Division cannot be unguarded. ”
"The Japanese Army's Independent Fifth Brigade in Qingcheng has come to reinforce the Itagaki Division on the way, and the pressure on Linyi has increased suddenly, however, we have now surrounded the Japanese army in the east of Zaozhuang, west of Yixian, and Yixian in these two small spaces, the Japanese army on the Jinpu Road do not have to worry, the honorary first division nails the Yanzhou area, they can't pass, even if they detour, they can't catch up, only the Banyuan Division in Linyi, Zhang and Pang are guarding Linyi, and we have made great contributions to deploying and annihilating the Japanese Seya Detachment and Sakamoto Detachment." Bai Jiansheng raised his eyebrows and analyzed objectively.
"Is it possible to transfer the new 38th Brigade to the direction of Linyi, the Japanese Seya Detachment and the Sakamoto Detachment are already at the end of their crossbows, there is no need to put so many troops here?"
"The new 38th Brigade has strong mobility and better equipment than all of us, so it is really suitable to rush to Linyi."
"Degong, this is a good suggestion, you might as well consider it!"
"You are unloading the mill and killing the donkey, seeing that the new 38th Brigade has helped you trap the little devils, and the battle below is so big, you are here to grab the credit?" Sun Zhen, commander of the 22nd Group Army, said indignantly.
"Brother Decao, how can you say that, do you work more than you can, besides, in our five theaters, the new 38th Brigade has the highest level of mechanization, and there are more tanks and automobiles in one brigade than in one army."
"As soon as they went up, they took people down, isn't that right?"
"Now that the enemy situation has changed, the new 38th Brigade is also the closest to Linyi, and it is most appropriate for them to reinforce Linyi."
"The nearest one seems to be the 20th Army of the 52nd Army, right?"
"The 52nd Army deployed defenses in the north of Yixian County to prevent the Japanese army from breaking through the encirclement, and it was easy to move ......"
"Then who will take the place of the new 38 Brigade?"
"Doesn't Commander Lu have a division resting in Taierzhuang?"
"The Pang Corps has been fighting hard for more than a month and has suffered heavy losses, so it is just right to withdraw and recuperate, and the old general is really out of the way this time."
“……”
Everyone looked at you, and I said a word, as if the new 38th Brigade did not go to reinforce Linyi, as if it was a great sin.
But the final decision is in the hands of Li Delin, if Li Delin does not agree, or transfers the division of the 60th Army that is resting in Taierzhuang, then everyone can do nothing.
Li Delin also knew that the transfer of the 38th Brigade was stronger than the division of the 60th Army, and it was difficult to say how much impact it would have on the Japanese army encircling and annihilating Yixian if such a readjustment was made.
Things have to be prioritized, and on the Linyi side, although Zhang and Pang have exhausted their strength, at least there is no possibility of collapse.
If reinforcements are obtained, even if Sakagaki has reinforcements to join, it may not be able to break through the Linyi defense line.
"The new 38th Brigade will not move to fight Yi County, and the 184th Division of the 60th Army will reinforce Linyi early tomorrow morning." Li Delin had already made a decision, "Brigadier Luo Yufeng! ”
"Here!" Although Luo Yufeng attended the meeting, he rarely spoke, after all, he was just a small character here, and he would not express his opinion unless Li Delin asked.
"Use your car battalion to pull the 184th Division, no opinion, right?"
"No comments!" Luo Yufeng said solemnly, it is nothing more than a little gasoline, this is to resist Japan and fight little devils, of course he has no opinion.
Even if Li Delin really replaces him, he feels uncomfortable, but he will still obey the order.
Lu Xiong threw a commative look at Luo Yufeng, this new 38th Brigade dared to sacrifice, had the courage to sacrifice, and was not afraid of sacrifice, unlike many Whampoa generals he had seen, especially the attitude towards the local army, there was no arrogant attitude, and everything that could be helped was helped, and he didn't care about gains and losses.
This is an outlier in the lineage of the Central Army.
Luo Yufeng adheres to a principle, as long as it is a force that sincerely resists Japan, whether it is the central army or the local army, if it can help, it will help, and it cannot be petty.
Back at the brigade headquarters, Luo Yufeng told Qin Yankun about the situation at the meeting.
"This Tang Keqin really didn't give up, Xiang Du devoured the credit of the Japanese army's Seya detachment and Sakamoto detachment, but fortunately, Chief Li didn't fall for him."
"Tang Keqin doesn't have the ability to swallow it alone, isn't there the Second Army and the 60th Army, Tang Keqin is reckless, he wants to eat alone, he doesn't have the ability."
"Also, the 20th Army is known as the elite, if it weren't for the better weapons, the real combat effectiveness would not be as good as the Dian Army." Qin Yankun said.
"How's the situation over there Leng Guoguang?"
"I'm called Mr. Leng instead."
"Promoted again?"
"The deputy commander of the Luxi Corps, who is also the chief of staff, and the chairman of the committee personally appointed, can be regarded as decided, although he has the rank of major general, he has already eaten the rank of lieutenant general." Qin Yankun said.
"Hehe, shall we send him a congratulatory telegram?"
"Don't, his side is also superficial, and the pressure is very high, Tu Feiyuan, this old devil, is playing a lot this time, and he has insufficient troops under his hands, and he can't hold back." Qin Yankun said.
"Lao Qin, let's sum it up, how can this Yi County be taken down?" Luo Yufeng said that it had been determined at the meeting that the new 38th Brigade would take on the task of attacking Yixian.
"The topographical ...... of this Yi County"
Leng Feng gave Li Delin a problem, his secret telegram had been in his hands for almost a day, but he still hadn't thought about it.
The problem is that Leng Feng's proposal is very good, but he can't take it into account, Yudong is not the jurisdiction of the Fifth War Zone, he wants to reach out, Cheng Songyun may not have an opinion, but the one above him will definitely be uncomfortable.
But the matter of Yudong and Luxi must now be resolved in a unified manner.
The longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it will be to the battle situation, and Li Delin knows this truth, but he can't always be like the Luxi Corps, in his own five theaters, as long as he agrees, the problem is not big, but it involves two theaters, which is not easy to do.
This Leng Feng commanded the Luxi Corps is not a big problem, the Third Army is now not loved by grandma and uncle, as long as someone can take care of them, they will naturally lower their posture.
But the troops in the First War Zone are all descendants of Mr. Jiang, if Leng Feng is above the fourth phase of Huangpu, he is barely qualified, and he is a junior in the ninth phase of Huangpu.
How to control these arrogant soldiers and fierce generals, this is still a problem, not to mention that this battle is not smaller than the scale of the Battle of Taierzhuang.
Li Delin knew that before this, Leng Feng had made a suggestion to Lao Chiang, suggesting that the GJ in eastern Henan should be unified and a group should be formed, so as to facilitate unified command and deal with the Japanese attack on eastern Henan.
But Mr. Chiang did not seem interested in this proposal, or did not care about it at all, but now, the establishment of a unified command structure of the Eastern Henan Corps is imminent.
With the continuous transfer of troops to eastern Henan, without a unified command structure, these troops fighting the Japanese army in eastern Henan were tantamount to a group of dragons without a leader.
Mr. Jiang was also the principal of the Whampoa Military Academy, he couldn't see this problem, even if he didn't pay attention for a while, those think tanks under his hands were all dry?
He Jingzhi, Chen Cixiu, Zhang Wenbai, etc., these people are all veterans of the battlefield, they can't see it, even if they say goodbye to Lao Jiang, they can't joke about the future and fate of the country and the nation!
