After hanging up the phone, Chen Geng immediately found Zhou Xihan, and told him the news that the Japanese army would be reinforced as Liu Zhanshen said just now.
"This situation is indeed difficult. Although our combat effectiveness has been greatly improved and we are equipped with heavy artillery and tanks, if we want to take down Xinjiang, Houma, and Quwo, which have strong city defenses, we must I'm afraid it will take some time, if the 37th Division moves quickly and suddenly kills us when we attack the county, the situation will be very unfavorable to us." Zhou Xihan analyzed calmly.
Chen Geng nodded: "I think so too, so I plan to divide the troops, and you will command the 10th Division to continue to attack eastward according to the combat plan. According to the information provided by the local underground party, there is only one brigade at most in those counties. They are all local garrison troops, and their combat effectiveness is very poor. As for those puppet troops it doesn't matter if they are there or not. With our current weapons and equipment and combat effectiveness, a tenth division is enough to take them down. And I Take the 9th Division to stop the Japanese 37th Division."
When the chief of staff standing next to him heard this, he immediately took a breath in fright, and only used one division to block a full-staffed Japanese division. This is a bit too risky, if it can't be stopped, not only the ninth division will be lost, but the tenth division will also be in a very dangerous situation, and even the entire battle plan will fall short.
Sure enough, Zhou Xihan also said worriedly: "The 37th Division is the number one main force of the Japanese First Army. Although the total strength is less than 20,000, the proportion of veterans is very high. It also has a tank brigade and an artillery brigade. Wing. The overall combat effectiveness is extremely strong. I am afraid that the Ninth Field Division alone"
Chen Geng said confidently: "Don't worry, I will not risk the entire battle plan and the lives of so many soldiers. Since I dare to do this, I am sure that I can stop the 37th Division!"
Seeing Chen Geng's self-confidence, Zhou Xihan didn't say anything more. After fighting side by side for so many years, he trusted and understood this old superior and comrade-in-arms very well. Although Chen Geng's command ability was not as good as that of Lin, Su, The three military gods Liu and the generals Peng, He, Ye, and Xu can also be ranked in the first echelon among the star-studded generals of our army. His command style is calm and sophisticated, and he is good at grasping opportunities. He will never waver when it is time to fight, but once he finds the enemy's weakness, he will not be soft in attacking. Therefore, he said that he is sure that he can stop the 37th Division. It must be possible.
However, Zhou Xihan still added another insurance to Chen Geng: "You are under a lot of pressure. I will transfer the 36 105 howitzers from the 10th Division Artillery Regiment to you, and give you all the 12 Type 62 tanks from the Tank and Armored Battalion. To attack those counties with few defenders, the 130mm and 152mm caliber howitzers, cannons and armored vehicles are enough!"
Chen Geng was also polite, and said with a smile: "Okay! With these cannons and tanks, I am more confident!"
Then the two issued new combat orders. The regiments of the Ninth Division and the artillery and tanks dispatched from the Tenth Division quickly separated from the attacking troops, and under the leadership of Chen Geng, rushed towards Xinjiang, the valley formed by the intersection of Zijin Mountain and Emei Mountain south of Houma.
Zijin Mountain and Emeiling are the dividing line between Yuncheng Basin and Linfen Basin. The valley between them is an important road connecting the two places. If the 37th Division wants to arrive at Linfen in the shortest time, it must go The valley passed through, and Chen Geng chose the blocking location here because he wanted to take advantage of the terrain here-only one regiment of troops can keep this narrow valley, which is only about 5 miles wide at its widest point, airtight, and the 37th Not only were the divisions unable to use their best tactics of outflanking left and right, but they could not even invest too much offensive force at one time, otherwise they would only become living targets for the Ninth Division's nearly 100 heavy artillery pieces.
This is where Chen Geng's confidence lies. Under such terrain conditions, as long as the artillery of the Ninth Division still has shells, the 37th Division will never even think about stepping into the Linfen Basin. But will the Ninth Division's shells run out? The answer is of course no. After all, the hundreds of eight-ton king convoys that were transporting ammunition to the front day and night were not decorations, so unless there was a detour, the 37th Division would not be able to reach Linfen even in a dream.
However, the premise of all this is that the Ninth Division needs to arrive at this valley before the arrival of the Japanese army.
Just as the Ninth Division was desperately rushing to the valley, the vanguard of the 37th Division was also marching here: in order to rescue Linfen and take the opportunity to destroy this heavy group of the Eighth Route Army. It can be said that Lieutenant General Nagano Yuichiro took out his capital, not only mobilized the whole division, but also dispatched the two armored trains equipped with 57mm rapid-fire guns in the Yuncheng Railway Station, and hurriedly arranged for a brigade to take a The train of the armored train rushed to Linfen along the Tongpu Railway.
A train withThis is how the racing of vehicles and armored forces begins, and the victor can take the life of his opponent and take the initiative in this war.
It is worth mentioning that Chen Geng has already learned about the situation of the Japanese army through listening equipment, but the Japanese army knows nothing about the movements of the Ninth Division. So this game was a bit unfair from the beginning. But this can't be helped, who let the Eighth Route Army be the protagonist of this book, little devil, you have the ability to let the author change the outline!
If the 37th Division is only likely to fail, then the 69th Division will soon be buried in the grave.
Although it was late at night, the headquarters of the 69th Division in Linfen was still brightly lit. More than a dozen combat staff officers gathered in front of the sand table and maps, anxiously discussing the countermeasures, while other staff officers kept coming and going in the battle. Between the communication room and the telecommunications room, he frowningly handed over the telegrams to His Excellency, the head of the division. Lieutenant General Inoue Sadae knew without reading it. These telegrams must be some smirks, not any stronghold, The town was captured again, that is, which army was defeated again and suffered heavy losses. He has received dozens of such news today.
"Could it be that those Tuba roads really can't do magic? Otherwise, how could they have transformed into such a powerful army in the blink of an eye, and have so many heavy artillery tanks and armored vehicles. One day! Just one day, those damn Tuba roads, They wiped out all the gun towers and strongholds on the outskirts of the Linfen Basin, wiped out four and defeated eight garrison squadrons, and occupied more than a dozen security villages and towns. More than half of the casualties were hit, and the army was defeated. Amaterasu, is this the "rabbit" army that we chased all over the mountain?" Looking at the telegrams that really contained bad news, Inoue Zhenwei The lieutenant general finally couldn't bear this blow, and yelled like crazy.
Seeing this scene, the chief of staff and a group of staff officers did not feel any surprise, and no one stepped forward to stop them. They all understood Shi Erxia's mood at this time. In fact, they could hardly bear the huge pressure. up.
"Your Excellency, Commander, the front line is calling. The Communist Army in the east captured Yaodu five minutes ago, and the entire garrison squadron was broken. The Communist Army in the west has already broken through our army's defense line on the east bank of the Fen River. , has been unable to resist, and is withdrawing to Linfen!"
"What!' Everyone in the combat room, including Lieutenant General Inoue Sadae, was dumbfounded! (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com
