Chapter four hundred and eighty fourth quagmire outside
9oo1[o]622 Chapter 484: Outside the Mire
...The one who made a fool of himself was Chairman Jiang himself. Song Yuhang was a stubborn person for doing this. What made Song Yuhang not understand is why, as a decision-maker and a commander on the front line, he was always unable to seize the fighter in time? Many times, even in extremely favorable situations, he could not achieve his full results? This seems to have become an insurmountable law on the domestic battlefield, which is generally embarrassing?
Almost everyone knows clearly that the Battle of Changsha is becoming a huge quagmire, and almost all the mobile power and elite troops of the Zhong** team are deeply trapped in this, and the situation is still moving in a more unfavorable direction.
The military meeting of the senior chief of the Military Commission was under extreme depression. The plan proposed by the Chairman must be implemented, but if even Song Yuhang, who has always been brave, said that this plan would not work, then it would be difficult for everyone present to find such a courageous commander and a unit that can shoulder such a arduous task.
The senior generals in the conference room were smoking their own cigarettes, and the smoke filled the room. Several female secretaries who didn't smoke were choked and could hardly breathe, but they did not dare to cough loudly. Those who didn't know the matter thought that the war room had caught fire!
Song Yuhang was poisoned by the window and pushed open it hard. The smoke in the room suddenly gushed out. The guards downstairs looked at the opened windows in surprise. Everyone was told that this was a confidential meeting of high standards and no one was allowed to enter the alert range privately, even the guards.
With the gratitude of several secretaries, Song Yuhang put down the cigar in his hand, and the blue smoke he spit out slowly faded in the air, then he turned his eyes away from the map behind Bai Chongxi, looked around everyone and said, "Sir, why do we have to cut off the retreat of the Japanese troops in the battlefield theater?
Song Yuhang's speech boosted Bai Chongxi's spirit. After all, as long as Song Yuhang spoke, it would be a good start. So Bai Chongxi said in a deep voice: "The commission's intention may be that the Japanese army was panicked because the rear route was cut off. When the Japanese army mobilized troops to siege our army and cut off its retreat, it would inevitably reveal a certain flaw to give our army an opportunity to take advantage of it, and then use mobile warfare to selectively siege part of the Japanese army and annihilate it to achieve the tactical purpose of eliminating the Japanese army's live power."
Song Yuhang nodded slightly and walked behind Bai Chongxi. A beautiful female lieutenant hurriedly pulled all the curtains on the map and handed a baton to Song Yuhang. Song Yuhang cleared his throat and said, "Since our goal is to mobilize the Japanese army, why should we limit our attention to the battlefield?"
Song Yuhang's baton followed Changsha to Suzhou and Hangzhou, and Shanghai, saying: "Although the Japanese army increased its troops several times, its total strength was still lower than our army. Our army has an advantage in military strength. We can use this advantage to attack the weak Japanese defense forces. If the Japanese suffer, the Japanese will find a solution."
Song Yuhang paused and said, "We can take advantage of our mechanized army's rapid raid, coupled with the mobility of the paratroopers, to carry out a large-scale raid on all Japanese-occupied areas. On the other hand, our army concentrated several elite troops of the army to form a fist. Once the Japanese divide their troops, they will immediately launch a rapid strike on them!"
Song Yuhang put down his baton and looked around everyone present. Bai Chongxi, Chen Cheng and others were surprised. Song Yuhang's plan was obviously much smarter than Chiang Kai-shek's. It seemed that mobilizing the Japanese army from the Sichuan small line was the most beneficial to the ** at this time. Even if the plan was discovered by the Japanese army, the Japanese army could only shrink its forces to organize defense, because the Chinese team surrounded from the depths of the outside line would sweep across the Japanese army's fragile supply line, and a unit with shortage of food and bullets had no combat power at all.
Bai Chongxi looked at Chen Cheng. Chen Cheng sat on the chair and said nothing, as if thinking about something. Bai Chongxi almost didn't look down on Chen Cheng's self-protection. Bai Chongxi stood up and shouted: "Brother An Yi, can you make your plan a report? I will meet with the committee immediately.
.
Song Yuhang nodded quickly and turned around and left to order Wang Chongxian, who was waiting outside the combat room, to organize combat staff to formulate his intentions into a strategic plan.
In the afternoon of the same day, Bai Chongxi only asked for instructions through an oral report, Chiang Kai-shek agreed to Song Yuhang's combat plan and gave Song Yuhang the power to direct command.
On June 10,000, Song Yuhang made partial adjustments to his own troops based on the deployment of the Japanese army shown by the latest aerial reconnaissance. He also asked Chongqing to draw the Eighth Army of Li Mi in the strategic reserve team, plus Sun Liren's First Army of the Military Commission, Wang Yaowu, Zhou Boyan's Deed Army, Zhou Fucheng's Deed Army, and Fang Tiandi's Deed Army formed a mobile army, which was directly under Bai Chongxi.
middle.
Without further ado, for many reasons such as confidentiality, Song Yuhang decisively decided to use the First Mechanized Army as the main force and mobilized some trucks to the reorganized Division. The troops entered the radio silence from instantly. The reorganized Division supported the First Mechanized Army from Zhuzhou along Pingxiang, Yichun and Xinyu to advance towards Shanggao County, and then headed straight towards Nanchang. As long as Nanchang was captured, the "frame of the Changsha War can be solved, and the Chinese team can achieve the strategy of decisive decisiveness and not give the Japanese army a chance to breathe.
Song Yuhang knew very well that once Nanchang is recaptured, the three towns of Wuhan and the two states of Suzhou and Hangzhou will inevitably be within the attack range of the First Mechanized Army. If the intention of recapturing Nanchang can be realized, then as the war develops, Shanghai will also be the leader of the expeditionary army of the corpse country. The First Mechanized Army of the Chinese Expeditionary Army suddenly disappeared from the Zhuzhou station? The intelligence regiment placed in front of him formed a regiment, and then tore it to pieces. Such a large-scale army will disappear under the surveillance of its own spymen. I really don’t know what other spies who can only talk big?
Okamura Yasuji stood in front of the map and remained silent. According to his plan, the first phase of the Changsha Campaign was about to be completed. Changsha City remained unmoved under the siege of the Central Team. The fierce street fighting had lasted for a week, and most of the Changsha City was still in the hands of Hirokou Shimoki.
In the view of Nishiji of the Umura, overall, the first phase of the battle achieved certain results. The Zhong** team suffered huge casualties in the battle of Changsha City, especially the several ace main forces suffered varying degrees of losses. Although it did not meet Nishiji of the Umura, it also received some expected results.
Just when he was about to take the second phase of the battle, the First Mechanized Army of the Expeditionary Force, which had the most powerful combat effectiveness in the Chinese team, lost its trace, and several Chinese ace troops also withdrew from the battle to make up for replenishment. This was not a good omen for Niji Tomura.
Because all this shows that the Chinese team seems to be carrying out a very large military operation. In the past, no matter what China had any actions or plans, the imperial intelligence agencies were always foresighted. Whether it was the stealing and infiltration of intelligence personnel or the detection of radio interception passwords, all of this depends on the empire's perfect confidentiality system and intelligence collection mechanism, which is also one of the important conditions for the great Japanese imperial army to win repeatedly.
Although the radio monitoring and interception department has monitored and intercepted many secret telegrams from the Chinese ** team, none of them are related to the Chinese Expeditionary Force. According to the intelligence agency, the Chinese Expeditionary Force is likely to use another set of special passwords, which are limited to the use of the Chinese Expeditionary Force and the Chongqing Supreme Military Commission.
The lack of necessary intelligence support for Kotan Village Neji felt very depressed and nervous about his own initiative to control the battlefield. The Chinese Expeditionary Force's troops brought to Kotan Village Neji was simply unable to sleep or eat.
As the supreme commander of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, Song Yuhang secretly acted at the same time as the First Mechanized Army. Before leaving, Song Yuhang ordered the troops of the Zheng Dongguo of the Fifth Mechanized Army to move towards Shanggao County after the First Mechanized Army and the reorganized division.
On June 3, the Chinese Expeditionary Force conquered Luoxiang, on June 3, the Chinese Expeditionary Force conquered Yichun, and on June 3, the Chinese Expeditionary Force conquered Xinyu and approached Gao!
Hu Lian's reorganization. The division followed the First Mechanized Army and advanced rapidly. Along the way, Hu Lian was extremely incredible about the powerful combat power of the First Mechanized Army of the Expeditionary Army. The invincible First Mechanized Army made Hu Lian, who was ready to serve as flanking covers, have nothing to do all day long. This kind of battle similar to tourism-like serious damage to the self-esteem of the officers and soldiers of the reorganization.
However, the average daily attack progress of nearly 150 kilometers to 200 kilometers has numbed Hu Yu. For the reorganized division, the most they are to accommodate the defeated Japanese and puppet troops. The reorganized division will march continuously and march almost every day.
The Fifth Mechanized Army, which followed the reorganized division, had nothing to do. It had passed by Yichun and didn't even see the Japanese?
Under the thunderous attack of the first mechanized army of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, the Japanese garrison troops disintegrated one after another. Chang Tianfang did not clear the remnants of the Japanese army, but just kept heading towards Nanchang.
After the Chinese Expeditionary Force wiped out the Japanese military guard brigade in Shanggao County, Nagao Nagao, looked at the positions of the three units of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, the Fifth Mechanized Army and the Reorganized Division, which were marked on the map.
What made Okamura Yanji extremely angry was that the Chinese Expeditionary Force had captured Shanggao, and he had obtained general information such as the enemy's specific number? Nanchang was exposed to the battle between the Central ** team.
Okamura Yasuji remembers that Nanchang's security commander Major General Matsumoto Nagahito was one of the few powerful generals of the 6th Army of the Empire. The 46th Independent Mixed Brigade under his command has made many extraordinary achievements. Later, he lost one leg when he captured Nanchang. After recovering from the battle wounds, he installed a prosthetic limb and was appointed as a police officer in Nanchang City.
make.
However, Okamura Yasuji was very rational. No matter how brave and good at fighting, his infantry corps that were not yet satisfied could not compete with the First Mechanized Army of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, which had nearly 70,000 people. Especially after the First Mechanized Army of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, the reorganized division was reorganized by the Fifth Mechanized Army and the Chongqing Army's elite main force.
The strategic intention of the China Expeditionary Force was already very clear. The lost Chinese Expeditionary Force headed straight to Nanchang? For four consecutive days, important transportation points including Pingxiang, Yichun, Xinyu, and Shanggao County fell into the hands of the China Expeditionary Force one after another. The attack rate of the China Expeditionary Force was beyond his expectations.
Okamura Yasuji personally marked the daily progress of the Chinese Expeditionary Force on the map with a ruler. When Okamura Yasuji marked the ninth time, the ruler was actually placed at the location of Shanghai on the map.
This madness surprised Nishiji, who was surprised by the fact that if the Chinese team captured Nanchang, swept across the two states of Suzhou and Hangzhou, and captured Shanghai, with the support of the US Pacific Fleet, the entire Chinese coastline would become a vast six-game tour of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and the Chinese Expeditionary Force would become even more unstoppable. Song Yuhang was more courageous. He went directly to the 6th and Sacrifice the Yazhou from the east. Then he occupied Shanhaiguan, then the connection between his Chinese Expeditionary Force and the Kwantung Army, the biggest supporter, would be completely cut off. You should know that most of the weapons and ammunition used in China's battlefields are produced in Changchun and Fengtian, Manzhou. If the supplies are cut off and the fierce attack on the front battlefield, his Chinese Expeditionary Force would be in danger.
Okamura Yanji stood in front of the map a little lost. The attack rate of the mechanized troops of the Chinese Expeditionary Force was faster than that of the Great Japanese Imperial Army. With strong firepower and strong mobility, in conjunction with the allied airdrop supply of the Allied Air Force, the Chinese Expeditionary Force can carry out long-term defense or attack anywhere with zero logistics and zero supply.
This is what Okamura Yasuji is most worried about, because the combat supplies of Japanese troops are generally carried by soldiers themselves, and the maximum carrying capacity of the wing and division's heavy troops is the only one that can ensure the high-intensity combat needs of the troops for a week. The same is true for ordinary Chinese teams. However, the Chinese Expeditionary Force can maintain an offensive longer with the high mobility of this mechanized unit and the timeliness of airdrop supplies. Once its troops are defeated, they will face large-scale and long-term pursuits by the Chinese Expeditionary Force. This is why Nishiji Tokmura has always refused to put all his combat power into front-line combat.
Nishi Tomura learned from his previous teachings. When fighting against the Chinese Expeditionary Force, in any case, he must ensure that there are enough reserves to deal with various unexpected emergencies.
Although Nishiji of the Umura was unwilling to give up Nanchang, he only used a dissatisfied infantry gang to fight against two of the China National Team, plus one of the mechanized army, and more than 30,000 reorganized divisions. The nearly 150,000 Chinese Team was bound to win against Nanchang. Nishiji of the Umura was not so crazy yet. He believed that even if he issued an order to let Matsumoto Nagato lead his troops to fight to the death, he would only be able to fight for half a day at most. Compared with the worthless death of nearly 4,000 officers and soldiers, Nishiji of the Umura, who had been tortured, finally issued an order to order Matsumoto Nagato to lead the security forces to evacuate Nanchang.
In order to order Nakanoji Nagato, he ordered Matsumoto Nagato to destroy all hydropower facilities in Nanchang City, blow up ammunition and material warehouses, burn all the stored grains, and destroy all bridges, beams and roads along the way during the retreat to achieve the goal of delaying China's expedition.
Then Neiji's eyes turned back to the Changsha battlefield. Neiji knew that the problem he was facing now was how to end the Changsha battle, which had already shown an unfavorable situation as soon as possible. Since the Changsha battle had achieved the goal of delaying the attack of the China ** team and severely slashing the spirit and morale of the China ** team, and also gaining him the precious time he needed, the battle seemed to come to an end.
As for the second step of counterattack, Nishiji of Tomura, he was postponed indefinitely, and the form of the battlefield had completely changed. The three-stage decisive battle plan had become a piece of waste paper.
Matsumoto Nagahito, who received the order from Nishiji of the Netmura, slowly paced in the room with a lame leg. Although Matsumoto Nagahito, who had lame leg, was arranged to become the commander of Nanchang's security, this broken leg also cut off Matsumoto Nagahito's ambition. Driven by a perverted psychology, Matsumoto Nagahito was very hostile to the Chinese. In order to vent the hatred of the broken leg, Matsumoto Nagahito often conducted large-scale searches for various reasons. Countless innocent people were tortured and died after being arrested. Gradually, Matsumoto Nagahito formed a quirk of torture.
Nagaji, who asked him to give up Nanchang, was unwilling to accept it, but facing the Central Team, which had already had the vanguard appearing outside Nanchang, Matsumoto Nagahito's confidence was far less confident than he treated unarmed civilians.
What makes people sigh is that Matsumoto Nagahito, who is extremely cruel and known as the mighty general, actually became extremely cherished after his legs were broken, and he became greedy for life and feared death. The first thing Matsumoto Nagahito did was to arrange for the troops to transport his own property and several geishas who were very important to him.
In the early morning of July, Song Yuhang stood on the turret of the heavy tank of Panxing, holding a telescope and looking at Nanchang City in the morning mist. The Japanese military flag at the top of Ranchang City was gone, and there was no one on the entire city.
In Song Yuhang's impression, even the silence before the war should not be so weird?
The strange scenes of Nanchang City made Song Yuhang hesitate. Hu Lian's reorganization division is about half a day away from Nanchang. Street fighting in urban areas is the weakness of the armored troops, especially in the city there are a large number of ordinary people with huge destructive armored troops once they carry out a "ruin assault" to cause serious casualties to the civilians in the city.
Chang Tianfang, standing next to Song Yuhang, said to Tang Ziqiang: "The First Heavy Armored Cavalry Regiment launched a tentative attack from the east gate to see what the Japanese are doing!" After Tang Ziqiang gave the order, a company of Sherman medium tanks covered eight Greyhound armored vehicles and slowly approached Nanchang City. One of the tanks actually drove straight to the closed city gate. A bold captain directly drove the oppressor mine-sweeping tank to push the old city Yue away from Nanchang City bit by bit!
The desolate Nanchang City made the Chinese Expeditionary Army officers and soldiers who entered the city shocked. It was obvious that in addition to not setting fires, the Japanese army had quietly demolished or destroyed all the factories in Nanchang City with parts and various livelihood facilities before retreating.
