20_20434In order to cooperate with Chen Hanzhang's plan, Yang Zhen tried to mobilize a number of resources that could be mobilized - to find a way to reduce the pressure that Chen Hanzhang's troops were about to endure, and to increase the number of additional soldiers. And the troops in the Guannai, under the coordination of the central authorities, tried their best to cooperate with him in his operations.

However, whether the Jining battlefield can really solve the problem depends on whether the frontal assault troops on the Western Front can arrive in Jining to participate in the battle in the shortest possible time, and cooperate with Yi Liangpin's department, which is already fighting in Jining, to completely encircle and annihilate the 69th Division. This is the most crucial move in this game of chess.

If the 69th Division, which is about to be placed in the entire Suinan and northern Shanxi battlefields, is not resolved in a hurry, the entire Suinan and northern Shanxi battlefields will not be able to form a line with the Suidong and Chazhong battlefields. In addition to the battlefields of Chanan and Chazhong, the various units participating in the war on the battlefield of Suinan are still in a situation of fighting their own battles.

At present, the troops that were 'pumped' out of the Chanan battlefield must respond to Chen Hanzhang's detour to Datong. Then the main burden of solving the Jining battlefield was pressed on the troops of the frontal assault on the Western Front. It's just that Liu Changshun, who succeeded Chen Hanzhang, can he bear this burden?

Yang Zhen's worries are not unreasonable. While Chen Hanzhang changed the direction of the attack, Yang Zhen was busy deploying troops at the headquarters and contacting all parties to support Chen Hanzhang's roundabout action. Liu Changshun, who also received an order from the headquarters, was deeply frowning at this moment in the face of Yang Zhen's order to forcibly penetrate the Jining line with no less than one division.

At this moment, Liu Changshun has put all the living forces in his hands on the front line. Except for two divisions and the 1st Armored Brigade, which were encircling and annihilating the 26th Division. The rest of the troops, together with a newly transferred division from the headquarters, were engaged in a "fierce" battle with the 110th Division of the Japanese Army on the front line of Hara, Turma, and Suzhi, as well as the 9th Brigade and Regiment that had been newly put into the battlefield.

Yang Zhen strengthened a division on the Western Front at the beginning of Chen Hanzhang's roundabout campaign, and as soon as he arrived on the battlefield, he was thrown into Liu Changshun's offensive on both flanks of Huade. At present, the main force of the 9th Brigade and the 110th Division are tightly entangled, and they cannot be 'pumped' at all.

And a newly transferred division from the headquarters, at least for the time being, is still far away in Linxi, and it will be difficult to reach it for a while and a half. Read the full text of the latest chapter Before this division arrived at his place, at this time, where did he go to 'draw' troops, break through the Japanese army's resistance between Huade and Baokang, and 'intersperse' in the direction of Jining?

Looking at the troops on the map that were tightly entangled with two divisions and one brigade of the Japanese army in front of him, Liu Changshun's brows have not let go since he received the order. Since taking over the command of the frontal battlefield, he has not made any adjustments to Chen Hanzhang's original deployment. However, the development of the battle situation did not progress as planned.

The 110th Division of the Japanese Army rushed out to try to rescue the 26th Division. The counterattack on the front line of the Yellow Flag and the White Temple is getting stronger and stronger, especially the White Temple position has now changed hands several times. The fast detachment with the yellow flag in a roundabout way was also entangled in the southeast direction of the yellow flag by the 110th Division of the Japanese army, and after several hard battles, there was no progress.

The remnants of the 26th Division of the Japanese Army, which were surrounded by the white flag and Sunit, relied on a large number of fortifications built before the war, hoarded ammunition and supplies, and a large number of anti-tank artillery.

Although in previous battles, the casualties of this 26th division were not light. The three infantry wings and the reinforced 219th Wing of the 35th Division, plus the three reserve infantry brigades, have suffered more than half of the casualties. Among them, the 219th Wing, which was deployed in the far north, together with two reserve infantry brigades, had been completely annihilated. The rest of the forces have also been divided.

However, the overall encirclement and annihilation battle is still progressing very slowly. The entire Japanese position, under the painstaking management, was almost like a fire hedgehog. The various units participating in the war can only be like 'pumping' and peeling off their cocoons, braving the deep artillery fire of the Japanese army, and gnawing layer by layer. In this case, the efficiency of the offense is quite slow.

The two field heavy artillery wings deployed by the Japanese army in depth are constantly desperately suppressing the attacking troops using field heavy artillery. In particular, the 150-mm cannon of the * type, which has an extremely long range, and the 105-mm cannon of the Taisho 4-year type, have never been completely suppressed.

The minimum range of these 'firing' is 15,000 kilometers, which basically exceeds the various large-caliber artillery pieces used by the Anti-United Nations, and the use of semi-permanent underground fortifications built before the war poses a considerable threat to the attacking forces of the Anti-United Nations. In particular, the six 'guns' 150 mm cannons, with a range of 18,000 kilometers, almost became the biggest obstacle to the encirclement and annihilation of the 26th Division by the Anti-United Nations.

These Japanese artillery, with accurate and dense artillery fire, inflicted huge casualties on the shock troops. The 122 rocket launchers, which were put into use on the Western Front with the longest range, could not penetrate these semi-permanent artillery fortifications of the Japanese army. The powerful 155 howitzers, but the 'firing' range is not reachable, and they have never been able to completely suppress these heavy artillery.

The air force dispatched fighters many times to find and destroy these 'guns', but in the end, because the Japanese artillery positions were too strong and the positions were cleverly chosen, they failed to achieve their goals. The threat of fire from the Japanese long-range artillery has never been reduced.

The Japanese army, which was frenzied, even 'fired' the lighter Type 92 105 cannon to resist the onslaught of the anti-United Nations tank troops. In the First Battle of the Yellow Flag, the Japanese army used this kind of artillery to destroy six Matilda II tanks within a range of 1,000 meters.

The idea of Liu Changshun to mobilize armored forces and destroy these artillery positions from the ground was suppressed. It was also the only weapon on the entire Western Front that could destroy Matilda II, the Iron Lady, from a distance of 500 meters. At the same time as the first record of destroying the tank of the Anti-Japanese Federation, this battle also made Liu Changshun more restrained like a small-footed old lady in terms of armor investment.

For Liu Changshun, the attack is moving slowly at the moment. And he originally had three divisions on hand, even if he added one division transferred from the headquarters, it was only four divisions. Now there is a Japanese division and a Japanese army division and a Japanese army 'mixed' brigade.

Now that his own strength has been used to the extreme, he must not let go of the 26th Division wherever he goes to 'draw' troops to carry out the requirements of the headquarters. Although the remnants of the 26th Division are not many, it is still a considerable problem to stay behind. If you don't completely get rid of them first, what will you do in the rear?

The most important thing is to 'mix' into the Ninth Brigade, which is in the direction of penetrating and 'interspersing' as required by the headquarters. If we do not solve this 'mixing' into the Ninth Brigade, even if we 'pump' out the troops, it will be difficult to open a breakthrough in the direction demanded by the headquarters. Even if it is opened, the troops that are attacking Jining are at risk of being cut off by the Japanese army.

Liu Changshun believes that there is already too much food in his mouth on the entire frontal battlefield on the Western Front. If you have to swallow hard, it is easy to be pushed. Moreover, if you disperse your forces too much, you can only put yourself in a passive situation on the entire battlefield, and it is not conducive to speeding up the process of the entire battle.

After hesitating for a long time, Liu Changshun still decided to concentrate his forces to deal with the 26th Division first. As for the requirements of the headquarters, it is better to wait until a newly added division arrives and then talk about it according to the development of the battle situation. The order of the headquarters is to be carried out, but he really has no troops to send now.

Seeing that Liu Changshun was unwilling to carry out the orders of the headquarters, Wang Minggui and Yang Jicai on the side glanced at each other, but they shook their heads in unison. After a slight hesitation, Wang Minggui pointed to the map and said, "Commander, according to the current situation, we still have the strength to implement this request of the headquarters. ”

"The remaining strength of the 26th Division is now less than half of what it was before the war. Unless there are large reinforcements in the short term, it is only delaying time. And this situation is basically no longer possible. Although the 110th Division has increased its investment in troops since this morning. ”

"But all its rescue troops have been entangled by our army. With the combat effectiveness of our army, even in the case of equal strength, it is difficult for the Japanese army to completely defeat our blocking force. Moreover, judging from the battle situation in the direction of the 26th Division, we continue to maintain two divisions plus one armored brigade in this direction, which is also somewhat excessive. With so many troops there, it is somewhat impossible to use them. ”

"I think we can completely 'draw' two infantry regiments and one tank battalion from the battlefield of encircling and annihilating the 26th Division. At the same time, an infantry regiment and a tank battalion were 'drawn' out of the two divisions that were engaged in 'fierce' battles with the 110th Division and the 9th 'mixed' brigade. ”

"In addition to the four regiments plus three tank battalions, I think it is enough to encircle and annihilate the three infantry wings of the Japanese army, which has only half of the strength left. On the battlefield with yellow flags and Huade, five infantry regiments plus two tank battalions were enough to deal with the 110th Division. ”

"Now we can contain this 110th Division first, and wait until a reinforced division from the headquarters arrives, not to completely annihilate this 110th Division now. However, the 'mixed' 9th Brigade was not the main defensive focus of the Japanese army, and a part of the troops were 'withdrawn' to cooperate with the 110th Division. ”

"In the area south of Huade now, with the strength of three infantry brigades, it is difficult to stop our all-out roundabout operation. Although this will weaken our forces on the front line for a certain time, as long as we hold on, the division transferred by the headquarters will arrive. The most important thing is that the orders of the headquarters are orders, and we must carry them out to the letter. ”

Liu Changshun was very dissatisfied with Wang Minggui's 'pumping' of some troops from the front-line troops. He frowned and said, "I also know that the orders of the headquarters must be carried out, but I now have four divisions on hand, facing two divisions of the Japanese army, plus a 'mixed' brigade. No matter what kind of troops are 'withdrawn', it will weaken the strength of the troops fighting in the face and delay the progress of the battle. ”

"The two Japanese divisions in front of us, as well as the 'mixed' Ninth Brigade, with the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army, are all a threat to us. If I don't completely defeat them, I will 'draw' troops to carry out the plan of the headquarters. Could it be that we don't care about the enemy army in front of us? The rice has to be eaten in one bite, and if you eat too much at once, you can only hold yourself up. ”

"In this way, from the forces of the 26th Division, you 'draw' a reinforced regiment, a 76-mm cannon battalion, and a 107th rocket artillery company, and immediately transport them by truck to the south of Huade to launch an attack on the Japanese troops in front of you who were 'mixed' into the 9th Brigade. As for when to 'pump' troops, it depends on their progress there. ”

"Also, you immediately go to the 17th Division to personally sit in charge, assist the political commissar in command, and speed up the battle process as much as possible. Strive to end the battle in the shortest possible time and free up forces to turn to the 110th Division. This matter is so settled, don't discuss it anymore. The rest of the questions will wait until reinforcements arrive. "-15469d80ok0 wave 18405582->.
