Chapter 2679 Shirai Matsushita¡¯s Intuition

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Shirai Matsushita¡¯s decision-making at this time was rather conservative.

    He is like this. When he should be conservative, he will be more conservative than anyone else, and when he should be radical, he will be more radical than anyone else.

    Such a command style will actually greatly affect his performance on the battlefield.

    To put it simply, this person¡¯s upper limit may be very high, but his lower limit may also be surprisingly low.

    He vaguely felt that things were not simple tonight. The enemy on the opposite side wanted to eat them, and they would eat them before dawn.

    It¡¯s not like he has never seen such a battle before.

    In many battles in northern Henan, the Fourth Army once used their superior artillery fire, aerial firepower, and armor strength to comprehensively encircle an entire Japanese division, and then wipe out all the strength of a division overnight.  An example of annihilation.

    And there are more than one such battle.

    Now, he is worried that the enemy on the opposite side wants to copy their previous battle mode, but compared to the fierce artillery fire and armored attack, the current enemy only lacks the support of air firepower.

    Shirai Matsushita would not have thought that the air firepower of the Fourth Army was actually inferior to their ground troops.

    The air firepower of the Fourth Army has only one target to attack tonight, and that is the Japanese warships parked in Tianjin Port.

    The Japanese battleships, destroyers, cruisers, and aircraft carriers were all within the scope of their attack.

    Together with these fighter jets and bombers, there were also ground troops of the Fourth Army.

    Including their howitzer units, self-propelled rocket artillery regiments, a large number of ground armor units, and infantry units.

    That was the ultimate goal of their actions tonight.

    As for the fighting in other directions, although the fighting seems to be very fierce in every place, every place is just to cooperate with the operation against the port.

    "What do you think?" Sakura Sato asked Shirai Matsushita, "Why have you become so conservative this time?"

    Shirai Matsushita said: "It's a premonition, a bad premonition. I always feel that if we act rashly, the enemy will probably wipe out us all before dawn."

    As he spoke, he looked at the map with some uneasiness, and then pointed to the area where the Fourth Army and Eighth Route Army troops were located.

    "Look, here, here, and here, the enemy has formed a situation to surround us.

    Their current attack is ferocious enough, but it is not yet the most ferocious.

    They want to give us the illusion that we can fight back.

    But in fact, the enemy's artillery bombardment and their air fire support have not yet been deployed this night.

    Do you remember?  Our troops in the past, when facing the same number of enemy troops, always had to face artillery bombardment several times that of our own.

    The enemy's artillery shells have a larger caliber and a longer range. Even in terms of quantity, the enemy has an advantage.

    But this time the enemy is different. According to the information we have received now, the enemy's artillery unit has only been the howitzer unit in the city from beginning to end, and then provides artillery support to the enemies on the periphery.

    So what about the enemy¡¯s other artillery units?

    With such a large-scale force, the enemy should have at least the firepower of two artillery regiments to maintain the intensity of their frontal attack.

    But all this is not the case. Although the enemy uses armored troops to attack, it seems that the first wave of offensive against us is also very powerful.

    But when attacking our second line of defense, why did their offensive slow down?

    ??In other words, the enemy could have used 100% of his strength to launch a fierce attack on us, but why now he only used less than 50% of his strength?  "

    The more he said this, the more he felt that his judgment was correct.

    The enemy on the opposite side is confusing them, trying to make them take the initiative to attack, and then expose more flaws. In this way, the enemy can more easily divide and surround their troops and defeat them one by one.

    Listening to his words, Sato Sakura also focused her eyes on the map.

    "However, our two divisions are supporting troops on the periphery, and there are not many enemy troops to stop them. They want to eliminate us under the noses of the two divisions?

    Isn¡¯t this a little too arrogant?  "

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Sakura said.

    The reason why he did not have the same idea as Shirai Matsushita was because he believed that the distance between the two divisions and himself was only more than ten kilometers.

    With such a short distance, as long as the artillery units of these two divisions advance a certain distance, they can even directly support their artillery firepower to the 122nd Division.

    From Sakura Sato's point of view, the enemies on the opposite side seemed more like they were planning to have a good fight with them in this place.

    In terms of time for this battle, he probably estimated that it would be about a week, or less.

    But tonight they would be annihilated by the enemy, which he couldn't believe.

    ¡°Please believe me, Your Excellency, Division Commander, we must shrink our defense line now, eliminate unnecessary peripheral positions, and then concentrate our forces to withstand the fierce attack that the enemy may launch.

    As long as we spend tonight safely, the gap between us will be narrowed during the day.

    Our two divisions on the periphery should be able to break through the enemy's blocking position during the day tomorrow.

    At that time, it will be time for us to have a decisive battle with the enemy.  "

    Shirai Matsushita said in an almost pleading tone.

    If Hao Shiwen heard these words now, he would definitely praise Shirai Matsushita.

    This person's intuition is very sharp, or it cannot be said to be intuition, but based on the accumulated experience of some past battles and many signs.

    It has to be said that he is very close to the correct answer.

    The goal of Hao Shiwen and the unit he led is indeed to eliminate them.

    "Eradicate the 122nd Division from the Japanese army's combat organization.

    But they also had another important purpose, which was to attract enough Japanese troops to the Langfang City area.

    It made it impossible for the Japanese army to mobilize enough troops to support the ports on the coast.

    This is their ultimate goal.

    "Well, I listen to you and start shrinking our defense line now."

    Sakura Sato looked at Shirai Matsushita's eyes and chose to believe in her staff officer.

    Although this staff officer is very young, his sense of smell on the battlefield is indeed sharper than his own.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
