Xuzhou, the headquarters of the commander of the Fifth Theater of Operations. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"On the eighth day, the new 38th Brigade supported Taierzhuang for eight days, not only did Taierzhuang not lose, but also dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese Seya detachment, which was completely unexpected."
"Jiansheng, the new 38th Brigade also suffered heavy casualties, sacrificing nearly 2,000 people and wounding more than half, you know, they are much more elite than the Sichuan army." Li Delin stood in front of the map and said heavily.
"Although Taierzhuang City is strong, its area is far inferior to that of Tengxian County, and the space given to them to maneuver is too small......," Liu Weizhang said.
"At least they still have time to equip, the defense of Tengxian County is too hasty!"
"General Lu Xiong of the 60th Army has arrived!"
"Hehe, okay, finally waited for our General Lu to come!" Li Delin's face showed a hint of joy, Lu Xiong's arrival also brought the elite and warlike 60th Army of Western Yunnan, which was like a cloud of hope for a great drought for the Fifth War Zone.
It's so timely!
"Brother Yongheng!"
"I've seen Commander Li!"
Thin and thin, with a pair of round glasses, an armed belt around his waist, gray temples, two bright eyes, he walked over with sonorous and powerful steps, and shook hands with Li Delin, who was dressed a little casually!
"Brother Yongheng!"
"Vice Chief Bai is also there!" They are all acquaintances, and after they meet, they can't help but greet each other one by one, no matter what happened before, now they are all on the same line.
Lu Xiong is a soldier who knows the general and knows right from wrong, and the soldiers of Western Yunnan have always been like this, defending their families and defending the country, and forgetting their lives and deaths.
"Please!"
"Brother Yongheng, I've worked hard all the way, the war is in full swing, and it's a little shabby."
"Report to Commander Li, I, Long Yongheng, am here to fight devils, not to eat and drink." Lu Xiong said respectfully.
"The devil wants to fight, and the meal still has to be eaten, Brother Yongheng, you won't dislike me for being too shabby for this reception, right?" Li Delin laughed and greeted.
"What about that, even if your brother Delin has delicacies from the mountains and seas now, I can't eat them." Lu Xiong explained.
"Brother Yongheng, before fighting devils, you should also fill your stomach first, so that you can have strength, besides, you don't ask, how does Degong plan to use you?" Liu Weizhang came over and personally poured wine for Lu Xiong.
"For Brother Zhang, you're welcome!"
"Okay, come, let's raise a glass to welcome Brother Yongheng!"
"Please!"
"Brother Yongheng, let's talk about the situation of your 60th Army." Li Delin beckoned everyone to sit down, and then asked Lu Xiong, eating is just a beginning, taking the opportunity to eat to talk about things, this is the main topic, it seems that this is also a tradition in China, basically things are done at the wine table.
"My 60th Army went north last year, but unfortunately it failed to catch up with the defense of Nanjing, which is a pity, Chief Li, Deputy Chief Bai, if I don't come again this time, these 40,000 brothers under my command will almost be unable to hold back!"
"Brother Yongheng is eager to resist the war, and I am a model for my generation!"
"Yan Mou, give Brother Yongheng an introduction to the current battle situation!" Li Delin nodded and ordered Xu Yanmou.
"Yes!" Xu Yanmou stood up and walked over, the two guards opened the curtain on the wall, and a combat map of the Fifth War Zone appeared in front of everyone.
"The red represents the Japanese army, the blue represents the GJ, Chairman Long, please see, in the southern section of Jinpu Road, the main force of the 9th Division of the Japanese Army, the 101st Division is approaching the Linhuai Pass and Fengyang line south of the Huai River, and the 6th Division Niudao Full Detachment is going north along the Huainan Railway, and is currently fighting fiercely with our army in Hefei, but from the battle report, Hefei will be able to hold for about three days at most, in the east, the Japanese Sato detachment landed from Nantong, all the way north, Rugao, Hai'an, Dongtai, its forward has reached Yancheng, subject to the terrain of the dense water network here, Their mechanized corps is not advancing very fast, but its ultimate goal should be the East China Sea, the southern front is still quite stable, the northern front, the main force of the Japanese 10th Division Seya Detachment is storming Taierzhuang, and it also divided a part of its forces to the east, ready to support the Sakamoto detachment attacking our Linyi, but it was blocked by our Tang Corps in the area of Guoliji, Taierzhuang's new 38th brigade, guarded for eight days, during which the victory of the Beiluo ambush, the total annihilation of a Japanese search group, and the destruction of the Japanese artillery position in Liujiahu, The Japanese army's artillery superiority was greatly weakened, and after that, the Japanese army Seya commanded the 63rd Wing Commander Fukuei Shinpei personally commanded nearly 10,000 Japanese troops to attack Taierzhuang fiercely, and our unit mainly took the new 38th Brigade as the main force to defend Taierzhuang, and the Second Army, the 31st Division and the 27th Division were coordinated forces to block the Japanese army in the area of Taierzhuang......"
Lu Xiong also knows some of the situation, and he also reads the battle report every day, but he is not as thorough and clear as Xu Yanmou.
In the fifth theater, the two main forces of the ZY Army, one is Lao Tang's 20th Army, and the other is the new 38th Brigade defending Taierzhuang, these two troops can be said to be the elite of GJ.
If these two troops are successfully fought, there will be hope for the Battle of Xuzhou.
The 60th Army's garrison in Hubei is adjacent to the 1st Division of Honor, and when he came, he also sent people to contact the 1st Division of Honor, and the other party was also very polite, but it was much more difficult to communicate and understand.
Lu Xiong felt that the Honorary First Division was not easy to deal with, so he also had a little resistance to the new 38th Brigade, a unit that had a deep relationship with the Honorary First Division.
The 60th Army came to Xuzhou, not to see the excitement, but to fight with the devils, but how to arrange the 60th Army, this Lu Xiong said that it doesn't matter, the power is in the hands of Li Delin.
The 60 th Army has three divisions, the troops directly under the Canadian Army, 40,000 horses, strong soldiers and horses, and a new force.
With more troops and more strength, the battle will naturally be easier to fight, at least there will be no more powerlessness without soldiers in their hands.
More than 40,000 people joined the battlefield, and it was overwhelming.
Originally, Li Delin still had to wait for the Tang Army to attack, but now, he felt that there was no need to wait for the Tang Army, with the arrival of the Sixty Army, the counteroffensive could already begin.
"Our previous deployments are basically in place, the new 38th Brigade has been holding on to Taierzhuang for eight days, and it has rubbed off the sharpness of the Japanese army, and it is time to counterattack!" Bai Jiansheng could see the thoughts of his old partner.
If you wait for "Tang" Keqin to feel that the time is ripe, then he will be passive, who is commanding whom in this Taierzhuang war?
However, the 60th Army has just arrived, and it is unrealistic to launch an attack immediately, so it is necessary to familiarize yourself with the battle situation and make preparations, so that nothing will go wrong.
On Weishan Island, Leng Feng also convened his subordinates to hold a military meeting.
"It's a little unkind to call everyone here early in the morning, many of you sleep late every day, right?" Leng Feng opened with a smile.
"The master seat is called, even if you climb, you have to climb over!"
"Crawl, I'm afraid your Han Chief of Staff can't use the dog planing style." Leng Feng quipped, "You say that I am here for several kilometers, and your clothes are clean, how do you look like you came from a lake?" ”
"Hahaha......"
"Who else hasn't arrived, stand up if you haven't arrived!"
Everyone was stunned, and then burst into laughter.
Leng Feng couldn't help laughing, he was an old fool, how could he make such a joke, but the atmosphere was lively and relaxed all of a sudden.
"Division, the Fifth Theater has just called, the 60th Army has arrived in Xuzhou, and General Lu Xiong personally leads the team."
"It seems that the good days of the little devil are over!"
"Going on a counterattack?"
"Meeting, meeting, Lao Xie, you can introduce the situation to everyone." Leng Feng commanded.
"Okay." Xie Jiyuan nodded, closed his notebook, stood up, and pointed to a simple combat map drawn in chalk on the big blackboard.
"You see, this is the enemy's current situation, you can read the battle report in detail, I won't be verbose, now the most important thing is that our honor division is going to move!"
As soon as Xie Jiyuan opened his mouth, the brigade commanders and regiment commanders below were all excited, gearing up, holding back in this Weishan Lake for so long, everyone's bodies were about to rust, and they were all holding back their strength.
There are quite a few militants in this honorary first division, especially the officers above the regimental level, all of whom are militants, and those who are not warlike have long been squeezed out.
This kind of belligerent atmosphere and atmosphere is naturally related to Leng Feng, the division commander, who is belligerent, and the officers below are naturally belligerent, not to mention that the mental outlook of officers and men in a unit that always wins big battles is completely different from that of those who have lost battles.
"What the chief of staff said is right, but we will not be involved in the battle of Taierzhuang." Leng Feng smiled, reached out and knocked on the table, and said solemnly.
"Why, Master?"
"Do you think 100,000 people beat up a Seya detachment?" Leng Feng replied.
"But if we don't go to Taierzhuang, where are we going?"
"Are your eyes just staring at that little devil in Taierzhuang?"
"Master, are we going to fight Jining and Yanzhou?" The handsome Zhang Zhongling, who was really jealous, suddenly raised his head and looked straight at Leng Feng.
Leng Feng nodded.
At this time, many people's expressions were stunned, only a few people were a little thoughtful, obviously these people had used their brains before they came, Leng Feng wrote down the names of these people one by one in his heart.
Only those who are good at thinking can make progress, and the first division of honor must develop and grow, and the most fundamental thing is to have talents, and they are their own people.
"I put forward two different plans with Shizuo, which can be regarded as throwing bricks and stones, let's discuss it, if there is a better plan, you can also put it forward, let's discuss it together!"
"The first set of plans is to first attack Zou County, cut off the supply line of the 10th Division, and then go south to attack the main force of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army with the Taierzhuang Corps, and strive to achieve total annihilation."
Everyone listened attentively, and no one spoke.
"The second set of plans is to go north to Jining and Yanzhou, and after occupying these two places, part of the troops will be stationed in the Jining area and work with the Third Army to sweep away the Japanese troops in the Jining area, and the other will go south to attack Zou County and flank the main force of the Japanese 10th Division."
"What do you think about these two sets of plans, you can say anything, no matter which plan you choose in the end, we must be clear about the advantages and disadvantages of this." Leng Feng spoke.
"Master, I think the first set of plans is like someone else eating meat, and we rush over to drink soup, which is too much to take our honorary first division seriously!" Huang Yong, the commander of the 373rd Regiment of the New 373 Brigade, stood up and said loudly.
"It's just that we feel like we're old mothers, escorting others......"
"Fighting Jining and Yanzhou can also cut off the supply lines of the Japanese army, not to mention that the division headquarters of the 10th Division is in Yanzhou, if we don't fight Yanzhou, how meaningful can it be to fight Zou County?"
Hearing these discussions, Xie Jiyuan's face was a little embarrassed, it was obvious that he did not expect that his plan would encounter so many objections, and it was obvious that he had not taken into account the sense of honor of the officers and soldiers.
"Shizuo, I think, to fight Zou County, our honorary first division is a cooperative role in this battle, and anyone can do it, Shizuo went to great lengths to get us hidden on Weishan Lake, I'm afraid it's just to set off others, right?" Zhang Zhongling stood up and said loudly.
"Zhong Ling, just sit down and talk." Leng Feng raised his hand and motioned for Zhang Zhongling to sit down and speak.
"I think that Jining and Yanzhou must be attacked, so that our Honor 1st Division can take the initiative in this unprecedented battle, once the Japanese army controls Luxi, it will attack west along the Yellow River and south, once the Japanese army cuts off the Longhai railway line and goes south to join the Japanese army in Central China, the consequences are unimaginable!" Zhang Zhongling said.
Leng Feng's eyes lit up, this is why he didn't say it to Xie Ji Yuanming.
The Japanese army in Jining continued to move south, and although it was blocked by the Third Army, once the situation changed, the Japanese army entrenched north of the Yellow River would take the opportunity to cross the river and cut off the Longhai Railway, and the hundreds of thousands of troops in the Xuzhou area would be in danger.
Others haven't noticed it yet, but Leng Feng knows very well that the 14th Division of the Japanese Army in Puyang is afraid that it is already ready to move, Kenji Tohihara, I have been waiting for you for a long time.
