Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In order to cooperate with Chen Hanzhang's plan, Yang Zhen tried every means to mobilize all available resources.  .  ¡ª¡ªFind ways to reduce the pressure that Chen Hanzhang's troops will soon be under, and increase the number of supplementary troops.  The troops within the pass, under the coordination of the central government, tried their best to cooperate with his operations.

    But the real solution to the problem on the Jining battlefield depends on whether the frontal assault troops on the Western Front can arrive in Jining in the shortest time to participate in the battle, and cooperate with Yi Liangpin's troops who are already fighting fiercely in Jining to completely encircle and annihilate the six  Nineteenth Division.  This is the most critical step in this game of chess.

    If the Sixty-ninth Division, which is about to be on the battlefield in Suinan and Northern Shanxi, does not seize the time to solve it, the entire Suinan and Northern Shanxi battlefield will not be able to connect with the Suidong and Chazhong battlefields.  In addition to the battlefields of Cha'nan and Chazhong, all the participating departments in the battlefield of Suinan are still fighting on their own.

    The troops that were called out of the "pump" of Chanan Battlefield should be under the circumstances of Chen Hanzhang's roundabout of Datong.  Then the main burden of solving the Jining battlefield lies on the frontal assault troops on the western front.  Can Liu Changshun, who succeeds Chen Hanzhang, shoulder this responsibility?

    Yang Zhen¡¯s worries are not unreasonable.  When Chen Hanzhang changed the direction of his attack, Yang Zhen was busy dispatching troops and generals at the headquarters and contacting all parties to support Chen Hanzhang's roundabout operation.  Liu Changshun, who had also received the order from the headquarters, was frowning deeply at Yang Zhen's order to forcibly penetrate Jining's front line with no less than one division of troops.

    At this moment, Liu Changshun has put all the effective 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 division newly transferred from the headquarters, are engaged in fierce battles with the Japanese 110th Division on the Hara, Dorma, and Suzhi front lines, as well as the newly deployed ninth brigade.  .

    Yang Zhen strengthened a division on the western front at the beginning of Chen Hanzhang's roundabout campaign. As soon as it arrived on the battlefield, he was thrown into Liu Changshun's reinforcement of Huade's two-wing offensive.  At present, the main force of the ninth brigade and a part of the 110th Division are tightly entangled with each other, and they can't get out at all.

    And a division newly allocated by the headquarters, at least for now, is still far away in Linxi, and it will be difficult to reach it in a while.  Read the full text of the latest chapter. Before this division has arrived at his place, where can he mobilize troops at this time to break through the Japanese blockade between Huade and Baokang and penetrate in the direction of Jining?

    Looking at the troops on the map that were tightly entangled with two Japanese divisions and a "mixed" brigade, Liu Changshun's brows had not let go since he received the order.  Since taking over frontal battlefield command, he has not made any adjustments to Chen Hanzhang's original deployment.  However, the development of the war situation did not go as smoothly as planned.

    The 110th Division of the Japanese Army mobilized in full force to try to rescue the 26th Division.  The counterattack against the Xianghuang Banner and White Temple front lines is getting stronger and stronger, especially the White Temple position that is now easily changing hands.  The rapid detachment that detoured around Xianghuang Banner was also entangled in the southeast of Xianghuang Banner by part of the Japanese 110th Division. After several hard battles, there was no progress.

    The remnants of the Japanese 26th Division surrounded by Zhengxiangbai Banner and Sunit relied on the large number of fortifications built before the war, the ammunition and supplies hoarded, and a large number of anti-tank artillery. Although they had been cut off from the  Deeply connected with the Japanese 110th Division, but still desperately resisting.

    Although in the previous battle, the 26th Division suffered heavy casualties.  The three infantry regiments they belong to, as well as the reinforced 219th Regiment of the 35th Division, plus three reserve infantry brigades, have suffered more than half of their casualties.  Among them, the 219th Regiment deployed in the far north, together with the two reserve infantry brigades, have been completely annihilated.  The rest of the troops have also been divided.

    But the overall encirclement and annihilation battle is still progressing very slowly.  The entire Japanese army position was carefully managed, almost like a fire hedgehog.  All the troops participating in the war could only peel off the cocoon, braving the deep fire of the Japanese army and gnawing away layer by layer.  In this case, the efficiency of the offense is quite slow.

    The two field heavy artillery regiments deployed by the Japanese army in depth were constantly using field heavy artillery to suppress the attacking troops.  In particular, its long-range 150mm cannon and the Taisho 4th-year 105mm cannon have never been completely suppressed.

    The minimum range of these ¡®firing¡¯ ranges is 15,000 meters, which basically exceeds the various large-caliber artillery used by the Anti-Japanese Alliance. They use the semi-permanent underground fortifications built before the war to pose a considerable threat to the offensive forces of the Anti-Japanese Alliance.  In particular, the six *150mm cannon, with a range of 18,000 meters, has almost become the biggest obstacle to the anti-alliance encirclement and annihilation of the 26th Division.

    These Japanese artillery, with accurate and intensive artillery fire, brought great impact to the impact troops.Caused huge casualties.  The 122 rocket launchers with the longest range invested on the Western Front cannot penetrate these semi-permanent artillery fortifications of the Japanese army.  The 155 howitzers were powerful enough, but the range was out of reach, so they were never able to completely suppress these heavy artillery.

    The aviation force dispatched fighter planes many times to find and destroy these artillery pieces. After all, because the Japanese artillery positions were too strong and the positions were chosen quite cleverly, they were unable to achieve their goals.  The firepower threat of the Japanese long-range artillery has never been reduced.

    The Japanese army went crazy and even fired the lighter Type 92 105 cannon to withstand the impact of the anti-alliance tank troops.  In the Battle of Xianghuangqi, the Japanese army used this kind of artillery to destroy six Matilda II tanks with direct aim and level fire within a range of one thousand meters.

    Liu Changshun's idea of ????mobilizing armored troops to destroy these artillery positions from the ground was curbed.  This is also the only weapon in the entire Western Front that can destroy Matilda II, the Iron Lady, from a distance of 500 meters.  While setting the record for destroying a tank of the Anti-Japanese Alliance for the first time, this battle also made Liu Changshun more constrained in his investment in armor strength, like an old lady with little feet.

    For Liu Changshun, the current attack progress is slow.  And he originally had three divisions on hand. Even if he added one division transferred from the headquarters, it would only have the strength of four divisions.  Now surrounded by a Japanese division, there is also a Japanese division and a Japanese "mixed" brigade.

    Now that our own military strength has been used to the extreme, we cannot leave the 26th Division alone wherever we go to 'draw' troops to implement the headquarters' requirements.  Although the remaining troops of the 26th Division are not many, it is still a big trouble to stay behind.  If we don't deal with them completely first, what will happen to our own rear?

    The most important thing is to merge into the ninth brigade and block the insertion direction required by the headquarters.  If you don't solve this "mixed" ninth brigade, even if you "draw" troops, it will be difficult to open a breakthrough in the direction required by the headquarters.  Even if it is opened, the troops attacking Jining are still at risk of being intercepted by the Japanese army.

    Liu Changshun believes that there is already too much to eat in the entire frontal battlefield on the Western Front.  If you still have to swallow hard, it will be easily stretched.  Moreover, spreading your forces too thin will only make you fall into a passive situation on the entire battlefield, which is not conducive to accelerating the process of the entire battle.

    After hesitating for a long time, Liu Changshun decided to concentrate his forces to deal with the 26th Division first.  As for the headquarters' requirements, it is better to wait until a new division arrives and then depend on the development of the battle situation.  The headquarters' orders must be carried out, but now I really have no troops to send.

    Seeing that Liu Changshun was unwilling to carry out the orders from the headquarters, Wang Minggui and Yang Jicai looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.  After a slight hesitation, Wang Minggui pointed to the map and said: "Commander, judging from the current situation, we still have the strength to implement this request from the headquarters."

    "The remaining strength of the 26th Division is less than half that before the war. Unless it receives a large number of reinforcements in a short period of time, it is just delaying time. And this situation is basically impossible now.  Although the 110th Division has increased its troop input starting from this morning."

    "But all its rescue forces have been tightly entangled by our army. With the combat effectiveness of our army, even if the forces are equal, it will be difficult for the Japanese army to completely defeat our blocking force. And from the 26th  Judging from the battle situation in the division direction, we continue to maintain the strength of two divisions and one armored brigade in this direction, which is somewhat excessive. There are so many troops there that it is somewhat difficult to deploy them. "

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

    "Four regiments plus three tank battalions are enough to encircle and destroy the three infantry regiments of the Japanese army that have only half of their strength. On the battlefields of Xianghuangqi and Huade, five infantry regiments plus two  A tank battalion is enough to deal with the 110th Division."

    "Now we can completely contain the 110th Division first, and wait until a reinforced division from the headquarters arrives. It is not that we must completely annihilate the 110th Division now. And the 'mixed' ninth brigade is not  The Japanese army also 'deployed' some troops to the main defense focus direction to cooperate with the 110th Division. "

    "Now in the area south of Huade, the strength of only three infantry brigades is difficult to stop our all-out roundabout operations. Although doing so will weaken our front-line strength to a certain extent, as long as we persistIn a moment, the division assigned by the headquarters will arrive.  The most important thing is that the orders from the headquarters are orders, and we must execute them to the letter.  "

    Liu Changshun was very dissatisfied with Wang Minggui's suggestion to 'draw' some troops from the front-line troops.  He frowned and said: "I also know that the orders from the headquarters must be implemented, but I only have four divisions on hand now, facing two Japanese divisions, plus a 'mixed' brigade. No matter what  "Any deployment of troops will weaken the strength of the combat troops and delay the progress of the battle."

    "The two Japanese divisions in front of us, as well as the ninth brigade, with the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army, are a threat to us. If we don't completely defeat them, where will I be?  "Deploy troops to implement the headquarters' plan. Should we ignore the enemy forces in front of us? We have to eat in one bite and eat too much at once."

    "In this way, you 'draw' a reinforcement regiment, a 76mm cannon battalion, and a 107 rocket launcher company from the forces that encircled and annihilated the 26th Division, and immediately transported them by truck to the south of Huade.  As for when the Japanese troops will be mixed into the ninth brigade to attack, it will depend on their progress there. "

    "Also, you immediately go to the 17th Division to take charge personally, assist the political commissar in commanding, and speed up the battle process as much as possible. Strive to end the battle in the shortest time and free up troops to turn to the 110th Division. This matter,  It¡¯s settled, don¡¯t discuss it any more. Let¡¯s wait until the reinforcements arrive.¡±¡ª¡ª15469d80ok0²¨18405582¡ª¡ª>
