Text Chapter 449: Taking advantage of the situation

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    For Gou Zaihe, who knew clearly that once the Bala Chirud front was fully broken through by the Japanese army, serious consequences might occur, Yang Jicai and the heavy artillery he could mobilize almost became the only life-saving straw he could grasp.  In addition to regret, his tone was completely different from before.

    After hearing Gou Zaihe's report, Yang Jicai almost burst his lungs. When the battle started, especially after Zhangjiayingzi gave up, he told him to pay more attention to his flanks and to deploy at least one 92 infantry cannon and two  The above mortars form a duty artillery fire, specifically responsible for covering the two key points on the left and right of Bala Chirud, the Stone Table and Butun Maudu, when necessary.

    Even if the Japanese artillery in Zhangjiayingzi cannot be suppressed, they must at least ensure that their flanks receive sufficient fire support. The Japanese army's best attack method is to combine frontal breakthroughs with flank detours. In the absence of deep deployment of troops,  Many times the danger on the flanks is far greater than on the front.

    It was precisely because this point was so important that Yang Jicai repeatedly told him to pay more attention to the situation over there, but not only did he fail to do so, he also diverted firepower from the direction of the stone table that was directly covering his flanks, and he was so careless.  , not only exposed the entire flank of Bala Chirud, but also almost caused his headquarters and the artillery position behind him to be taken over by the Japanese army.

    However, although he was dissatisfied with Gou Zaiheyi and his disobedience of his orders, Yang Jicai, who now figured out where this Japanese army came from, was slightly relieved.  Coming around in a roundabout way means that the situation has not deteriorated to a certain point and there is still room for recovery.

    After a big stone fell slightly in his heart, Yang Jicai ordered Gou Zaihe to immediately stop fighting for the front line of the stone table, concentrate all his troops and firepower, and stick to the front of Bala Qirude, but at the same time, he must pay more attention to his right wing, and a similar situation must not happen again.  .

    At the same time, the two artillery batteries that completed the rapid fire were divided into two echelons, the 100mm howitzer battery, and the line from Shizuo table to Sumoyantala and Sarulatala was blocked, and the 75mm field artillery battery was strengthened.  With the last two mountain guns in his hand, he concentrated all his artillery fire on the Shizhuizhi line to intercept the Japanese follow-up echelon.

    After telling Gou Zaihe to shrink his troops and Qiu Jintang to strengthen the artillery mission assigned to him, Yang Jicai picked up his walkie-talkie and called Qiu Jintang who was in the reserve command post behind him. He wanted to mobilize troops to block the breach opened by the Japanese army on the stone table.  This is no longer realistic. The only way is to use artillery fire to implement a fire blockade.

    In the direction of Shizuishi, use artillery shells to form a fire blockade wall to block the Japanese follow-up troops' attempts to pass through the breach. At the same time, through Qiu Jintang or the political commissar Yi Jianping who is there now, call for aviation support to use ground and air firepower.  way to destroy the Japanese army's determination and will to fight to the greatest extent.

    Yang Jicai, who was looking at the map and talking to Qiu Jintang on the phone, didn't know how ferocious his expression was at this time. Even the walkie-talkie operator next to him was frightened when he looked at his expression, but at this time  Yang Jicai didn't care what others thought of his current expression.

    Facing the unfavorable situation at hand, he quickly formulated an idea in his mind. Since the Japs dug a hole for him, instead of passively responding to the challenge and investing his money to re-block the breach opened by the Japanese army, he might as well give him  Come and take advantage of the situation.

    No matter how the war is going in other aspects, the direction of Shizuishi is the only gap opened by the Japanese army at the moment. No matter what the 7th Division's next step is, the Shizuishi front line must be the direction in which it focuses its investment, and its current strength is insufficient.  It is almost impossible to re-block this point that was broken through by the Japanese army.

    Even if he barely retakes the stone table, the price he pays will definitely not be light according to the current situation and attack intensity of the Japanese army. The troops he has on hand are limited, and compared with the current remaining troops of the 7th Division, they are not proportional in any case.  If there were too many casualties in the battle to retake the stone table, how would the next battle be fought?

    Instead of doing this, it is better to use the stone table as an attraction point to attract Japanese troops from other directions, with the stone table as the center point, and the two key points of Sumoyintala and Sarulatala to form two bottom lines.  Form a triangular area, concentrate all the artillery that can be concentrated, create a fire trap, and attract Japanese troops to jump into it.

    Concentrate long-range large-caliber howitzers and field artillery to block the westward development of the Shizhuizhi line, and cut off the connection between the Japanese army in Shizhuizi and the Japanese army in front of Bala Chirud. At the same time, concentrate mountain artillery, 107 rocket launchers and  The 100mm howitzer poured as many shells as possible into the triangle area, giving the little devils a feast of firepower.Although doing this, Yang Jicai must take certain risks. If the Japanese offensive and breakthrough at Shizuishi are just to attract the attention of the defenders in front of Bala Qirude, the real tactical intention is still Bala Qirude.  and Aohan Yingzi, two points that have almost lost all fire support. In the face of the offensive of the 7th Division, I am afraid no one will know whether they can persist until the battle situation changes.

    However, Yang Jicai believes that since the Seventh Division has opened a gap in its defense line, it will never give up easily. Moreover, although the direction of Shizui is in the overall defense, it is not as important as the direction of Bala Qirude, but it can break through here.  , but it can threaten the depth of the entire defense line.

    The strength of a squadron will not cause any big disturbance in any case. If the Seventh Division wants to use this to shake the defense of the entire Anti-Japanese Alliance on the front line of Bala Chirud, no matter whether it is willing or not, it will inevitably  Investing more troops, if he still wants to break through Bala Qirude and Aohan Yingzi, even if he knows that this place may be a fire pit, he can only bite the bullet and fill it.

    Moreover, Yang Jicai believes that the possibility of Kunizaki Noboru doing this is quite high. If he gives up his original combat intention after being unable to attack for a long time, then he can now completely ignore the defenders on the front line of Bala Chirud and use the entire frontal defense line.  , with almost no troops left to defend, and forcing a front-line penetration into Xikundu regardless of ground and air firepower, why bother to go to such trouble?

    With the direction of Stone Table as the core and Sumoyintala and Sarulatala as the bottom lines, use all available artillery on hand to form a fire blockade area one by one to the north, using aviation as the base to cut off the direct contact between the Japanese troops on both sides of Stone Table.  , at the same time, support Balaqirude and Aohan Yingzi in frontal combat.

    As for the air force's original focus on air strikes from Baichengzi to the moral front line, bombing or not is no longer of much use. The two main regiments of the Seventh Division are currently concentrated in front of them. There are Japanese troops over there. I'm afraid this  There won't be too many troops. Continuing air strikes there will only be a waste of bombs.

    The Hunte Aoter line due north of Zhangjiayingzi is the operational dividing line between artillery and aviation. To the north is the aviation combat range. All aviation forces that can be concentrated are concentrated on the Japanese army baggage on the line from Baichengzi to Hunte Aoter.  troops, and subsequently mobilized forces to carry out large-scale air strikes to weaken the 7th Division's continuous combat capability as much as possible and inflict maximum damage to it.

    Yang Jicai did not think that the Japanese troops currently pressing on the entire front line from Bala Qirude to Aohan Yingzi were only what a Japanese regiment could muster. Excluding the casualties caused by bombing and shelling during the day yesterday, plus the  Due to the losses suffered in the night battle at night, no regiment of the 7th Division would be able to gather these forces anyway.

    I am afraid that the main forces of the 26th and 27th Regiments have been concentrated on their front, from Bala Qirude to Aohan Yingzi, and they still need to control Zhangjiayingzi, plus the Japanese troops breaking in from the direction of Shizui.  The strength of the troops must be at least five brigades, otherwise the pressure on the various supporting points on the front would never be so great.

    After excluding these forces, how many troops can be left in the 7th Division? As for the 28th Regiment, there will definitely be a certain amount of strength left, but at their current location, even if Kunisaki Noboru makes a desperate move, it will not be easy.  Will use them unless they want a sunroof in their back.

    It¡¯s just that although Yang Jicai is very confident in his deployment, the biggest difficulty before him does not come from the Seventh Division, but from his own people. He knows very well what the consequences of doing so will be, so how can he convince Qiu Jintang?  , and Yi Jianping, who is definitely with Qiu Jintang at the moment, supports him, which is a key issue.

    Facing Yang Jicai's request for artillery support, Qiu Jintang behind him seemed hesitant. If Yang Jicai's idea was followed, the entire artillery unit's original combat plan would be completely changed. This change is not a simple tactical adjustment.  Instead, all artillery units deployed by the Anti-Japanese Alliance in Alukorqin Banner should be mobilized.

    This kind of deployment adjustment requires the approval of the headquarters, at least Wang Guangyu, the highest military commander of the Linxi battlefield, and he himself has absolutely no such right. Thinking of this, Qiu Jintang looked at Yi Jian in front of him  Ping, the highest political leader in the entire Linxi battlefield, hoped that he could at least help him make a decision.

    Listening to the report from Qiu Jintang, who was looking at him with a hesitant look, Yi Jianping, who was smoking with his head down, said without raising his head: "It's too late to ask for instructions from the headquarters or Commander Wang now. You are a veteran.  Okay, I don¡¯t need to tell you that the speed of war is very important.¡±

    ¡°The battle situation is the most important thing, let¡¯s put everything else aside for the time being. As long as you can get what he wants,Give him everything that comes out. I will be responsible for explaining to the headquarters and Commander Wang that the general will not obey your orders. The current situation is that the Bala Chirud frontline must be stabilized. There must be no  lose.  "

    Yi Jianping's resolute decision made Qiu Jintang slightly stunned. Although he seemed a little hesitant, he still obeyed Yi Jianping's order and placed him directly under the control of a 155th heavy artillery battalion on the Balaqirud front line.  The 122 Rocket Artillery Battalion, which was missing one company, plus a field artillery regiment, six 100mm howitzer batteries, and two 107 Rocket Artillery Battalions were all given to Yang Jicai.

    The troops of the 107th Rocket Artillery Battalion, a Field Artillery Battalion and a Mountain Artillery Battalion in Aohan Yingzi were all allocated to the Political Commissar of the First Regiment, and the best artillery combat staff officer he had at his disposal was also assigned to the task force.  He went to Yang Jicai to assist him in commanding the battle.

    Although he did not hesitate to give Qiu Jintang the order to cooperate with Yang Jicai in the battle as the political commissar of the Linxi Theater, Yi Jianping was a little hesitant about Yang Jicai's request for the aviation force to join in because of this.  , which is equivalent to deploying all the original troops to carry out sea-of-fire operations.
