Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

'Yes, Commander! '

The little devil made some moves in the battle arrangement, so He Zhengdao would naturally not sit still, and it was reasonable to make corresponding countermeasures.Only in this way, the whole of Fuyang will truly become a war zone full of wars.

Compared with the Xinyang war zone in charge of He Zhengdao, Li Zongren, who personally commanded the town in Macheng, seemed somewhat unhappy.The Japanese offensive was far more brutal than he had imagined.

Even if Li Zongren assembled the rest of the main force in the Fifth Theater, it would still be difficult to resist the left and right attacks of the two Japanese divisions.Li Zongren was also very anxious about the continuous defeat on the front line.

Looking at the notification just sent by the New 67th Army, Li Zongren couldn't help but said: "It's unbelievable. It took almost a week for the Third Division to dispatch troops, and they still haven't arrived in Huaibin. I really don't know how they did it." .”

Faced with such inquiries, the staff officer in the war room also smiled wryly: "General, compared with the Japanese Third Division, which only came all the way, the Eighth Route Army's response is relatively simple and easy. The little devil has suffered a lot from their landmines during this time." up.

And according to the information we got, during this period of time, Fuyang was almost in a mess. The little devil's puppet troops fought fiercely with the Eighth Route Army's guerrillas behind enemy lines.On the highway, the two sides seemed to be at a stalemate. "

'yes!If we knew that the New 67th Army is so powerful, we should have transferred them here! '

Hearing Li Zongren's exclamation, the combat staff officer smiled wryly again: "General, if other troops guard Xinyang, it is estimated that the little devil must have entered the territory of Xinyang by this time. I am afraid that other troops will not be able to do this kind of thing!"

Through this joint operation, these young staff officers drawn from the Guangxi Army have also truly seen that the Eighth Route Army is indeed more capable than them in combat.To be precise, the combat literacy of the Eighth Route Army is very high.

This is a force with both offensive and defensive capabilities, and the officers and soldiers are united as one, which makes the commander feel more comfortable when mobilized.Compared with the troops transferred here, although the number is quite large, they are unwilling to stand up for a tough battle.

In contrast, these combat staff really felt that they seemed to be a little envious of the Eighth Route Army! (To be continued.)

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

It was originally expected to be a five-day march, but it took ten days before the third division of the Japanese army arrived in Funan City.Please search (product#书……网)!The fastest-updated novel here will also become the rear base camp of the Third Division, officially launching their offensive on Huaibin.

After entering Funan City, the Third Division of the Japanese Army did not launch an attack immediately.On the contrary, the first thing the Japanese army divisions stationed in was to rest and reorganize.Most of the troops sent to the front are reconnaissance troops.

During these ten days, the Japanese army made another breakthrough in attacking troops.Although the troops in the fifth war zone fought tenaciously, they still failed to block the attacking edge of the two divisions of the Japanese army.

Such a situation made He Zhengdao realize to some extent that the fall of Wuhan may be a matter of time.Next, how to ensure the survival of the New 67th Army in the Xinyang area under the fall of Wuhan is also a very important issue.

Liu Shaoqi, who also arrived at the front-line command post a day ago, was somewhat puzzled that the Japanese army did not launch an attack but took a rest.After all, the Japanese army should hope to break through here as soon as possible to realize the reunion of the two troops.

Facing the confusion raised by Liu Shaoqi, He Zhengdao said with a smile: "Old chief, although there were no major battles during the ten-day march of the little devils, but after ten days, these little devils also marched under our harassment. unhappy.

Now they have entered Funan, and they are only less than [-] kilometers away from our front-line blocking position.Even our forward reconnaissance unit has fought against the little devil's cavalry reconnaissance team several times.

The little devil knows that before we receive an order, we must block here.Therefore, they don't need to rush to attack at all, we have to stay here anyway, waiting for them to attack.

Before, the little devil hoped that the third division could make a breakthrough from Xinyang.But now, another offensive force of theirs has pushed the vanguard of the attack to the border between Macheng and Lu'an.

Even during this period, according to the battle report provided by the fifth theater, I'm afraid they won't last long.Even if the central army sent an additional main force of the army in the follow-up, it would not be able to withstand the Japanese army for long.

Instead of waiting for the third division to make a breakthrough, it is better to speed up the advance of the other troops.Once the Japanese army successfully captures Macheng, we will also face the situation of being attacked from both sides.At this time, the little devil should be planning a plan to encircle us! "

While expressing his own guesses, he drew the Japanese army's offensive route on the map, and Liu Shaoqi suddenly realized: "From your analysis, the little devil is quite a thief!"

'Of course!When the Japanese army arranged the combat plan, although it sometimes seemed very stubborn.But after the battlefield situation changes, they will also quickly make adjustments to their combat deployment.

Since the Anti-Japanese War, our independent column has wiped out at least 10,000+ troops.With the little devil's vengeance, I'm afraid they won't let us go easily.For this reason, they probably want to encircle us in one fell swoop!

Now the Third Division is resting in Funan, and only dispatched reconnaissance troops to conduct reconnaissance on our forward positions.The purpose is to attract our attention and drag the main force of our army here so that we cannot contain another attacking force.

It's just that from the current overall situation on the battlefield, Han may not be able to hold on.Therefore, I am afraid that the old chief's burden will not be light, and he needs to prepare early for this situation.

There is one more situation to be aware of where we have to make some trade-offs.Some counties in Xinyang, I guess we can't keep it.But in the rural areas of Xinyang, we must control them as soon as possible.

In addition, it is necessary to open up more safe havens to deal with the coming of the war and to resettle those fleeing civilians.At least I'm sure that the Central Army will not let us abandon these counties easily. '

After hearing He Zhengdao's words, Liu Shaoqi frowned and said, "You mean, Lao Jiang will let us stick to the county towns of Xinyang? In this way, we will consume the strength of our troops here?"

'Hopefully my guesses are paranoid, but we have to be prepared for that.If Lao Jiang really has such a plan, I believe that the 68th Army currently deployed in Zhumadian will also join the battle in the name of reinforcements.

It's just that once Wuhan falls, both Xinyang and Zhumadian will probably become occupied areas.Even the Japanese army will take the capture of Wuhan as an opportunity to attack the Central Army in Henan from here, and bring the attacking troops under our noses.

Once the Japanese army's combat concept is completed, then for the Central Army, it is estimated that they will be happy with this situation.At that time, we will not only face the North China Front Army of the Japanese Army, but also the Central China Front Army.

Even once the Japanese army captured Henan, it would truly separate us from the Central Army.By that time, it is estimated that Lao Jiang should feel more at ease.After all, the Japanese army will not let us continue to develop in such a low-key way in Shaanxi. '

From a local battle, it is associated with a large battle inference.Liu Shaoqi, who came here to inspect the front line, also really realized that He Zhengdao often goes further than others think in terms of combat command.

Even following He Zhengdao's analysis, Liu Shaoqi felt that this inference was likely to become a reality.Although such a situation would be detrimental to the Nationalist Government moving to Chongqing, it was the Eighth Route Army that was most detrimental.

Compared with the Japanese army wanting to invade Chongqing, I am afraid that it will need to invest a large number of troops to be able to invade Chongqing.It will be easier to attack Shaanxi.After all, Chongqing is a mountain city, and it was beyond imagination for the Japanese army to attack.

Since ancient times, the land of Sichuan and Shu has been famous for being easy to defend and difficult to attack.The Japanese army wanted to push their troops to Chongqing, and the price they paid was probably unbearable for the Japanese army.Defeating all of them is the most likely tactic the Japanese army will use.

Xiao Jinguang, who also accompanied Liu Shaoqi, said worriedly: "In Henan, the Central Army still has a lot of elite troops. The Japanese army just finished fighting Wuhan, so they probably don't have the ability to organize another big battle, right?"

'Don't underestimate the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army!Although the current strength of the little devils is tight, they have plundered and stored very rich war resources through war.The deadliest thing is the peace talks that are beginning to emerge in the country.

Although our party and our army, including the Central Army, did not accept the proposal to negotiate peace with the Japanese army.But I dare say that this is the Japanese army dividing and disintegrating our fighting spirit.Among them, I am afraid that some traitors and lackeys will work for them.

In Henan, the Central Army also has a group army commanded by Jiang Dingwen.We all know that this group army is actually prepared by the Central Army to defend against us.Once the Japanese army attacked Zhengzhou from here, Chiang would have to make a choice.

Should we give up Henan, which is under our noses, or keep his direct line army.In the previous telegram from Li Zongren, we can already get some clues that Lao Jiang is consciously keeping his direct troops. '

'What telegram? '

Xiao Jinguang, who was somewhat curious, quickly found an archived telegram report: "This is a telegram sent to us by Li Zongren three days ago. Although it only told us that the Central Army sent an additional division to Macheng.

But this division is under the jurisdiction of the First Army, Lao Jiang's real lineage.Hu Zongnan, the commander of the First Army, is the confidant and favorite general of the old Jiang's direct line. This army is also the main force with the strongest strength and the best equipment in the Central Army.

If Lao Jiang really intends to defend Wuhan to the death, then I dare say they will definitely be able to defend it.However, the price may be beyond his ability to bear.The reason for sending this additional division to Macheng is to buy some time.

After receiving this telegram, I sent a telegram to Vice Chairman Zhou, and quickly confirmed that Hu Zongnan's main force had moved to the vicinity of Xiangyang and Dengzhou.What's the point of such a move?

The most suspicious thing is that the First Army under Hu Zongnan's command was moved in secret.Such a main force is not used to fight in the front line, but instead goes to the rear, how strange it is.

Even this kind of defense shift can be regarded as Lao Jiang's preparations in advance for the fall of Wuhan.But what is the explanation for one of Hu Zongnan's main divisions secretly stationed in Dengzhou?I can't think of a second explanation other than preparing to attract troops from Henan! "

'good!Dengzhou is located on the border of Hubei and Henan, and it can be regarded as a place where military defense must be contested.The most important thing is that if you seize this place, the Central Army will have a forward position.Even if the entire territory of Henan falls, they still have a forward fortress.

And the most deadly thing is that if our army wants to operate in the territory of Hubei, Henan and Anhui and needs to contact Shaanxi, it cannot bypass this place.Once the situation changes, the troops deployed here can cut off our communication channel at any time. '

Although Liu Shaoqi seldom leads troops to fight, some battlefield situations can also work.If you want to gain a firm foothold in the Dabie Mountains, you still need support from the rear.And this point is the nail in the communication channel between the Dabie Mountains and Shaanxi.

He Zhengdao also agreed with Liu Shaoqi's speculation and said: "The old chief is right. In fact, I also have this kind of worry. Once Wuhan falls and the Japanese army invades the troops in the Macheng area, I am afraid that they will not be able to continue the front line in a short time." push forward.

At that time, the Japanese army can divide its forces and launch an attack.Once Macheng falls, Chen Cheng's troops deployed in front of Wuhan will inevitably retreat quickly.In this case, the Central Army is equivalent to completely abandoning Wuhan.

Without the resolute resistance of the Central Army, the Japanese army could easily take over Wuhan and occupy this important military town without using too many troops.Afterwards, using Wuhan as a strategic point, the troops' offensive fronts were deployed in all directions.

It is only necessary to transfer the main force of another division from the Second Army of the Japanese Army to cooperate with the Third Division currently stationed in Funan.One left and one right attack, I am afraid that our life will be difficult, and the Central Army stationed in Henan will not be too easy.
