According to Yang Jicai, who has not received an exact report, he is not sure whether his judgment is accurate. But the state in which the Japanese army was in front of him was to tell him that this was a good fighter. If you give up or don't catch it, it will become a lifelong regret for yourself.

After this telegram of more than 3,000 words was sent, Yang Jicai ordered Su Yingqi, the commander of the Second Regiment, and Chen Zhiping, the political commissar of the Second Regiment, who had withdrawn to Bayannuoer at this time, to command all the existing troops of the Second Regiment that could be collected. Regardless of the fatigue of continuous battles and the casualties of previous battles, he seized the front line of Thongxi and Butun Maodu as quickly as possible, posing a threat to the enemy's flank of Balakirude.

He ordered Xiong Ziren, the political commissar of the 1st Regiment in Ao Han Yingzi, and Ma Biao, the deputy commander of the 2nd Regiment, to immediately launch a tactical counterattack against the enemy in front of them. It is necessary to firmly hold back the Japanese troops in front of them, so that they cannot move closer to the line of Balakirude. The troops ordered to regain Zhangjiayingzi, except for leaving a platoon to monitor the left flank of the enemy in front of Balachrude. The rest of the main force went north to seize Huntether, completely cutting off the connection between the Ao Han camp and the enemy of Balakirude.

Considering that the troops on the front line of Zhangjiayingzi were composed of the original heavy artillery units and guard units, the strength was really insufficient, and it was impossible to take into account the two directions. Yang Jicai gritted his teeth and strengthened the last company at hand that had been withdrawn from the direction of Kundu to the direction of Zhangjiayingzi.

He also ordered Balachrude to immediately seize the time to adjust and replenish the troop establishment, replenish ammunition, and closely monitor the movements of the enemy troops in front of him, and at the same time bring the defensive line as close as possible to the Japanese army. While not disengaging with the Japanese army, the whole army must be ready to attack at any time. After Su Yingqi arrived at the designated place and the troops attacked by Zhangjiayingzi took Huntertel, the whole line took a counterattack.

For Yang Jicai, it takes time for the superiors to reply, and before that, he can't just wait. Even if the forces at hand cannot form a complete encirclement, they can at least form a flanking attack on the enemy in front of them first. At least we can't let these devils react and run away before their superiors can reply.

At the same time, Yang Jicai discussed with Qiu Jintang to concentrate all the remaining heavy artillery shells, especially rockets, to a part of the artillery. This part of the artillery was moved forward in the direction of the stone table, while the rest of the artillery rested on the spot, waiting for the headquarters to replenish the shells, and then entered the battle as appropriate.

Listening to Yang Jicai's construction, Qiu Jintang smiled bitterly: "You kid is ready to invest all of Lao Tzu's capital in it at once." You also don't want to think about it, is the Seventh Division really in a state of chaos now, as you judged? Is there really that little force left? ”

"If things are not what you think, and there are still a large number of Japanese troops hidden in some place that we have not yet discovered, what are you going to do? I have this little shell on hand, but you are the last to rely on. If you run out of shells before the headquarters evacuates the refill shells, what are you going to do if things go your way? With the amount of troops you have at hand, how can this battle be fought? ”

"The most critical problem is that you are now moving into a full-scale counterattack without the approval of your superiors, and you are acting on your own. Once the hostile situation changes, it is not what you judge and imagine, and your responsibility is quite heavy. I suggest that you think about it carefully, at least wait for Lin Xi's reply. ”

"Obeying the command in action is the first of our three disciplines and eight points of attention. This morning's battle was a last resort, but the current situation is two different things. And even if the 7th Division suffered heavy casualties, the disparity in the number of troops you can mobilize is too great. Once your counterattack fails, it will be easy for the Japanese to succeed in counterattacking. ”

Regarding Qiu Jintang's half-persuasion and half-incomprehension, Yang Jicai said without the slightest hesitation: "Chief, no matter whether the enemy army has follow-up troops or not, the current opportunity is the only opportunity we can seize." As soon as the Japanese army retreats on its own initiative, then we are in a passive position. ”

"It's not that I don't want to wait for Lynsey's order, it's because we can't afford to delay this time. My side will do it first, at least to hold off the Japanese army. Otherwise, once the Japanese army has made up its mind, we will probably not be able to catch even a single hair. If the next move of the Japanese army is contrary to my judgment, then our counterattack will take him by surprise. ”

"Chief, I hope you will grant me one more request and adjust the deployment as I hope. And I believe that the Japanese army will not have any reinforcements at all unless they can reassemble the 28th Wing, which had been stirred up by Commander Wang last night, except for the small number of troops in front of us. Because of the battles last night and this morning, they have put in all their elite. ”

"If there are other troops, they have not been discovered by us. Then they could have continued to attack and advance to the northwest and detour to the flank of our Ao Han camp when all the forces of our army had been concentrated on the front line of Balachrude. Because in that direction, our army is already left without soldiers. Since they hit a wall at Balachrude, it is not that there is no reason for the Japanese army to choose the direction of attack again. ”

"Once they really break through the first line of our army's Kundu, attack and advance to the south, or continue to the west, our army will be passive on the whole front. At that time, the front line of Balachrude was firmly attracted by the offensive of the Japanese army in front of it, and it was impossible to draw any troops to defend. ”

"But the Japanese didn't do that, precisely because they didn't have the rest of the troops to use. All the more because they could no longer afford to continue the westward attack. That's why they attacked desperately on the spot from Balaqirude to Ao Hanyingzi. ”

"It is to obtain a shortcut, to wedge into the depth of our army as much as possible, and to weaken our army's air-ground firepower. I am sure that the forces they have invested in front of the Barakirude to the Ao Han camp are already all their living force except for the 28th Wing. Other than that, they don't have any hidden troops, which we haven't found yet. ”

"In this morning's battle, the Japanese losses that have only been roughly and incompletely counted are at least 4,000 men. In addition, the 28th Wing, which had been completely defeated by Commander Wang at this time, and the results of our heavy artillery unit and aviation unit yesterday during the day and night. ”

"At present, in addition to the non-combat engineers and baggage soldiers of the Seventh Division, most of the remaining combat soldiers are probably concentrated here. Of course, there must be some forces behind them to guarantee their supply lines, but not more than two or three squadrons. Although there are times when a company on the battlefield can change the scales on the battlefield. ”

"But as long as we move quickly, the two or three Japanese squadrons scattered from Baichengzi to the Xilamudon River like sheep, even if they are gathered and rushed over, will not have much impact on the situation of the battle. So I dare to vouch for it with my head, the less than 3,000 Japanese troops in front of us are all the living forces left. It may even include some non-combat units such as engineers and baggage soldiers. ”

"Chief, since we've won the battle we've done and this morning. So why can't we have the courage to chase after the poor and use this fighter to completely sweep away the remnants of the Seventh Division and reduce the pressure on the large army in the next counterattack on all fronts? ”

"The most critical thing is that, in my opinion, whatever the next move of the Japanese army, we are now at the moment to carry out a full-scale counterattack. Because we have to beware of the madness of the Japanese army. Rather than react passively when the time comes, it is better to take the initiative and disrupt their actions and deployments. ”

"My idea is very simple, that is, to concentrate the existing forces and hold off the Japanese army first. At the same time, look at the situation, and then adjust the tactics appropriately. If the Japanese army is in disarray, then I will launch a counterattack with all my might. If the Japanese army can stabilize its position, I will hold them down while trying to fight and wait for the reply of the headquarters, and strive to eat the 7th Division cleanly and completely. ”

"No matter what the reply from my superiors is, I have made up my mind for this counterattack. Even if the two regiments in the territory of the Alukorqin Banner are defeated, as long as it is beneficial to the overall situation, then why not break the kettle once? The two divisions on the front of the Linxi battlefield, which had lost flank support and response, could not stir up too much wind no matter how strong their combat effectiveness was. ”

"On the contrary, the combat scope of the main forces of our army can be further broadened. If Commander Wang Guangyu had been more courageous, he could even concentrate the troops currently hidden north of Kundu and take advantage of this opportunity to go all out to intersperse the front line of the Weng Niute Banner and block the rear road of the two Japanese divisions in front of Linxi in advance. ”

"So from the overall point of view, this battle is beneficial to us. Besides, it is not my style to meticulously and rigidly implement the deployment of superiors, and not to adjust my tactics and strategic deployment according to changes in shape. On the battlefield, I'm definitely not the kind of person who can't make a mistake with care. ”

Seeing Yang Jicai looking at himself with a resolute expression, Qiu Jintang hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, since you asked, I can agree to readjust the deployment." But the rest of the artillery, until there is no replenishment of new shells, I am going to withdraw to the territory of the Right Banner of Bahrain. ”

"Once you kid misjudges, you will not be able to counterattack in an all-round way, but will be rushed into the depth by the Japanese army. My bulky, long-moving artillery is dangerous. These artillery units in my hands are almost a third of the heavy artillery units directly under the headquarters, and I cannot take any risks. If you add Commander Chen's, these heavy artillery pieces account for almost two-thirds of the heavy artillery directly under the headquarters. ”

"Besides, I'm a little uneasy to hand over all the artillery to you. Your kid has been attacking for an hour with a lot of firepower, not to mention that you have exhausted two-thirds of the reserve shells, and you have also caused certain losses due to the overuse of artillery. Our artillery, in addition to rocket artillery, is itself second-hand. Some are even products of more than 20 years ago, where can they withstand such intense use by you? ”

"After an hour of rapid firepower, Lao Tzu lost one 100-millimeter howitzer and one 155-millimeter howitzer, and two 75-millimeter field guns. None of these guns were destroyed by the Japanese counter-artillery, and they were blown up by the high-intensity fire that you strictly ordered. ”

"If you kid goes crazy again, Lao Tzu, these baby bumps, can't they all be confessed to you? I leave you two 122 rocket artillery companies, and all 107 rocket artillery companies. There aren't many rockets left, so you kid need to save some of them. Our supply line is too long, and we don't know when the next batch will be replenished. ”

"As for the barreled artillery, I will leave you two battalions of field artillery, four batteries of 100-millimeter howitzers, plus a battalion of 155 heavy howitzers. And the artillery that followed the guy named Su Yingqi and withdrew to Bayannuoer, and I will leave all of them for you. With the number of shells we have left, it's enough for these guns to last for two to three hours. ”
