Chapter 376: Operation Plan of Jinpu Road South Line
"This is a combat plan on the southern Jinpu Road, codenamed: Gelang, Jiansheng, it's better to talk to you carefully."
"Yes, Chairman!" Bai Jiansheng stood up and nodded at Old Jiang.
After receiving a telegram from Leng Feng for the second Yuxikou victory, Chiang Kai-shek made the decision to annihilate the 13th Japanese Division on the southern line of the Jinpu Road.
Although he wanted to do this before, due to his strength, he adopted conservative harassment and blocking tactics against the Japanese army on the southern line of the Jinpu Road.
We only hope to prevent the Japanese army from going north on the south bank of the Huai River to reach a balanced state so that they cannot go north to join the Japanese army in North China, so as to ensure a strategic purpose of fighting with the Japanese army in Xuzhou area, preventing the Japanese army from opening up the Jinpu Road and advancing west along the Longhai Road.
This is also a helpless move based on the taboo that military strategists are not suitable for fighting on both sides.
Now the situation on the battlefield has changed. The new force of the Honorary Division, the First Division, rose up in the sky, restraining more than half of the Japanese army in Jiangbei, and also severely damaged the Central China Front Army, making its limited force unable to effectively support the Japanese army in Jiangbei.
The Honorary First Division occupied Pukou, attracting and restraining more than half of the Japanese army in Jiangbei. Not only did it strengthen the pressure on the southern line of the Fifth War Zone, but it actually created the conditions to annihilate the main force of the Japanese army on the northern line and the 13th Division.
If the Honorary Division could not withstand the powerful offensive of the Japanese army, the original strategy of the Fifth War Zone would naturally not need to be changed, but now it is different. The Honorary Division went north to Pukou for more than a week, not only gaining a foothold, but also attacking everywhere, expanding its living space and giving the Japanese army a major blow.
"Before telling the plan to capture the wolf, I will briefly talk about the changes in the enemy situation on the southern line of Jinpu, my fifth war zone." Bai Jiansheng walked to a huge military map, picked up the baton, and gently pointed it at Yuxikou, "You must be familiar with the great victory in Yuxikou three days ago, right?"
Chiang Kai-shek held a high-level military meeting, and there were at least two stars on his shoulders to sit here, including many veterans and giants.
Of course, such a meeting cannot be as noisy as the vegetable market. Everyone will be able to tell the right words and will not say a single word of redundant nonsense.
"This is the battle report I just arrived today. Our new 38th Brigade used the tactic of luring the enemy into depth at Yuxikou, and successfully trapped the main force of the 45th Regiment of the Japanese Niudao Brigade in Huangshan Temple and Tonglingzha in a region, with a total of more than 2,000 people. He fought fiercely for two days and one day and night, and all the invading enemies have been wiped out. The commander of the 36th Brigade of the Infantry Brigade of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, more than 400 subordinates of Major General Niudaoman was trapped in a small village in Xiliangshan. There is no news yet, but I believe that good news will come soon!"
"Ba.b.ba..."
The fierce applause sounded, which was a huge victory, which could be said to be exciting, especially for those pro-Japanese elements, which was a huge touch.
The myth of the Japanese army's powerful and invincible has long been broken.
Old Jiang glanced at everyone with a look of disdain. At this time, he was still very excited. Although he had been shaken against Japan, he had never thought of surrendering. He would rather die than be a Japanese puppet.
"Okay. Jiansheng, keep talking!"
"Okay, Chairman." Although he had been against Chiang Kai-shek for many years, Bai Jiansheng had to admit that in China, Chiang Kai-shek had the ability to gather the hearts and morale of the whole country.
"On the southern line of Jinpu Road, in addition to the 13th Division, there was a corps of the 9th Division and the Tiangu Detachment stationed in Yangzhou, with a total force of about 35,000. After the combat losses in the previous month, it is estimated that the total force is about 25,000. However, according to reliable information, the Japanese army has withdrawn a corps from the 101st Division in Shanghai as the main force. A detachment has landed in Yangzhou five days before forming a detachment. In addition, the main force of the 9th Division also traveled from Nanjing to Zhenjiang, and will also land from Yangzhou and go to Jiangbei..."
"Why don't the Japanese troops in Jiangbei have 50,000?"
"In fact, there are not so many. The conservative estimate is between 40,000 and 45,000. No more than 45,000!" Bai Jiansheng continued, "After the Ninth Division suffered heavy damage from the street fighting of the Honorary First Division in Nanjing, the total strength was less than 15,000. As for the Iizuka Detachment, intelligence shows that this unit is composed of Japanese domestic reserves, and the combat troops and logistics support are about 4,000."
"Brother Jiansheng, where does this information come from?"
"Haha, Brother Geng Guang, this information is not something I, Mr. Bai, just randomly, it is from information sources." Bai Jiansheng said, "The intelligence about the Japanese army's forces and equipment is provided by the Intelligence Department of the Honorary First Division."
“Is the intelligence they provide accurate?”
"I don't know whether it is accurate or not, but there is no one else in our hands except the information they provide." Bai Jiansheng smiled, "At least I think it is still feasible. After all, the Honorary First Division is fighting against the Japanese army, so it is impossible to be careless in reconnaissance of enemy intelligence."
“It makes sense, it makes sense…”
"Where can you cheat yourself?"
"Brother Jiansheng, don't mean it, please continue!" Yang Gengguang said quickly. Everyone knows his temper. Although he is questioned, it is also a serious attitude.
"Next, I will briefly describe the distribution of the enemy and me troops."
A more detailed military land was unfolded and nailed to the blackboard, clearly marking the arrangement of troops between the enemy and us.
Blue represents ****, and red represents the Japanese army.
"Please see, with Chihe as the boundary, the Japanese army currently occupy Linhuai Pass, Fengyang, Bengbu, Dingyuan and other places north of Chihe. Since the Honorary First Division headed north, the Japanese army felt threats from the rear, and even gave up some of the areas that had been captured in Huaibei and retreated to the south of the Huaihe River. Now the Huaihe River is basically on the line, and the two sides are in the confrontation stage. To the north of the Huaihe River is Yu Xiaohou's 51st Army, and the 31st Army resists step by step in the west of Dingyuan, Feidong, Luqiao, and Luohe River. The front line is currently stable..."
"South of Chihe River, the Japanese army can be said to have retreated one after another. After crossing the river north, the first division of Honor occupied Quanjiao and **, and advanced northward to the east and west Ge Town. If the Japanese army stationed in Chu County had not gone south, at this moment, my first division of Honor had already arrived at Chu County."
The red and blue marks on the map are clearly visible at a glance. Everyone has been in the ranks of many years. You can see who has the advantage and who has the disadvantage in this map at a glance.
To the north of Chihe River, the Japanese army and **** were half a pound and eight taels. In some places, the Japanese army still had a certain advantage. After all, before that, the Japanese army was in an offensive situation.
Although there are constraints from the 31st Army, if Yu Xiaohou's 51st Army cannot get support, it will not be able to stop the Japanese army's troops.
Therefore, Chief Li hurriedly found the First War Zone to seek troops and dispatched the 59th Army stationed in Shangqiu to travel south to support Xiaohou's 51st Army.
However, before the 59th Army arrived, the Honorary Division headed north and seized the Japanese army's retreat. The 51st Army suddenly stabilized its front. It can be said that the Honorary Division rescued the 51st Army was also correct.
"I remember not having a plan to capture the wolf before this?" He Jingzhi asked back.
"That was done to deceive the Japanese army. Although this is also called the wolf capture plan, its significance and goal are completely different."
"Brother Jiansheng, we can't wait to see the wolf capture plan." Chen Cixiu smiled.
"I'm looking forward to it, too..."
"The core of the wolf-capturing plan is to capture the evil wolf of the 13th Division of the Japanese Army. This time our goal is not only to severely damage this Japanese army, but to annihilate the 13th Division in an established system..."
After Bai Jiansheng finished speaking, his cheeks flushed, which could not be suppressed.
To eliminate a Japanese division in an established system, if not before, don’t even dare to think about it.
But now, not only dares to think about it, but also dares to say it out loud. Everything is because of the appearance of the Honorary First Division, because of that person, Leng Feng.
If he hadn't had the powerful team of the Honorary First Division from Nanjing, and quickly opened up the situation in Jiangbei and formed a favorable situation, he would have dared not think about it.
Leng Feng, a person who Bai Jiansheng can't wait to meet, should have a chance after this battle.
Everyone present was also secretly shocked. Leng Feng's rise was without warning. This person seemed to jump out of a crack in the stone, shining in the starry sky like a comet. I just hope he would not just shine like a comet and then extinguish it.
"Okay, this should be the case for these Japanese who are ambitious!" Feng Huanzhang slapped the table excitedly.
Old Jiang frowned slightly. This old Feng is too unpredictable. It seems that the boss here is me?
However, he didn't have an attack, and it was not the first day that he met Lao Feng. It seemed that he was still a brother who was a disciple of the army, so he could not lose his demeanor.
"Brother Huanzhang said very well."
"Chairman, Brother Huanzhang, Jiansheng, I don't object to this plan, but what I want to know is, how sure is this plan?" He Jingzhi stood up and asked.
"70%!" Bai Jiansheng answered him directly without any hesitation. His confidence did not come from Leng Feng, but from his partner, Li Delin, commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone.
He had never seen Leng Feng, and he was only fascinated by Leng Feng's record and did not dare to make a judgment. This was also his cautious personality, but he was still clear about Li Delin's understanding, so he dared to say that he was 70% sure.
70%!
In terms of military affairs, I am 70% sure, which can be said to be a sure victory. Xiao Zhuge, the deputy chief of staff, said so, and he is obviously very optimistic about the plan to capture the wolf.
"I want to know where Brother Jiansheng's confidence comes from?"
"Because this place has been secretly occupied by our army!" Bai Jiansheng walked over and tore off the sun flag from the bright light position, revealing the small flag inside.
This action made all the generals attending the military meeting widen their eyes.
Only Lao Jiang was sitting upright, and the wind was calm and the clouds were not surprised at all. It was obvious that he had known this result for a long time.
"Which unit?" Yang Gengguang asked excitedly.
"New 40th Brigade of the First Division of Honor!"
"How did he do it? This is impossible?" Many people exclaimed, especially He Jingzhi, who had always been pro-Japanese generals.
"Put on makeup, raid!" Bai Jiansheng said slowly. He didn't believe it, but this is the fact. The battle report of the Honorary First Division will never be falsely reported. You even have to worry about whether he has any hidden or not.
This is obviously different from those troops that killed a few Japanese soldiers and publicized how many Japanese soldiers they killed. They seemed to be afraid that their contributions would be known.
"The wolf capture plan is divided into two stages. The first stage has begun. The target is the Japanese army in Chuzhou area. This part of the Japanese army is mainly composed of the 65th Regiment of the 13th Division of the Japanese Army. The total strength is 5,000 or 6,000. The plan is completed by the 1st Division of Honor. In the next week, the 1st Division of Honor will concentrate more than two main brigades to devastatingly strike the 65th Regiment of the Japanese Army in Dongge Town..."
"In the second stage, north of Chihe River and south of Huai River, four armies and about 100,000 troops were concentrated, and the 13th main force was completely annihilated in Huainan. The second stage took about ten to fifteen days!"
"The wolf capture plan is expected to be completed from the end of February to the beginning of March!" Bai Jiansheng continued, "In this way, we can free up our hands to deal with the Japanese army in North China, and give another heavy blow to the Japanese army in Xuzhou area, forcing the Japanese army to sit down and negotiate with me."
"Of course, this may be our wishful thinking. The Japanese army may not be willing to negotiate with us at this time, but at least we can buy us half a year in March."
