Age of Conquest Reborn

After Tang Qiusheng made the decision to encircle the three main divisions of the Japanese army on the front line in South Australia, he informed Battle of the battle plan and ordered the troops in the direction of Adelaide to mainly annihilate the Japanese 40th Division.

The group is the main focus..23

Battelle immediately sent a telegram to Yu Guanghan, who led the troops overnight to set up an ambush on the west bank of the Lachlan River, ordering him to immediately change the original ambush plan and take an active attack on the stagnant Japanese 40th Division.

Annihilate.

At this moment, Yu Guanghan has commanded the four main brigades of the Sulu Mobile Corps, including the armored force, a tank brigade, and an artillery brigade. They have moved covertly to the west bank of the Lachlan River. The troops have entered the ambush position and have completed the planned ambush area.

Combat fortifications and artillery regiments of various brigades were also in place, just waiting for the Japanese 40th Division to cross the river.

After receiving the order, Yu Guanghan was in a dilemma. He changed from an ambush to an active attack. It was not only a change in fighting style, but also involved a comprehensive adjustment of the battle deployment. The current position of the troops was far away from the 40th Division of the Japanese Army.

Less than fifty kilometers away, there is a deep and rough Lachlan River in the middle. It was originally used to block the Japanese army's retreat, but now it has become an obstacle to the troops' attack.

Immediately, Yu Guanghan convened a military meeting attended by the brigade commanders and brigade chiefs of staff. At the meeting, Yu Guanghan did not hide his embarrassment.

Not possible, if not

At the Lachlan River, we use four main brigades plus a tank brigade and artillery brigade, with a strength of more than 60,000 people, to attack the 40th Division, which has more than 20,000 Japanese soldiers, with a three-to-one strength and firepower advantage.

You can fight any way you want!"

"But the problem now is that the Lachlan River has become an obstacle for us. If we launch a frontal attack, the Japanese army will definitely retreat if they cannot resist it. This river will greatly slow down the troops' attack speed, and the annihilation battle will become a pursuit battle.

, it’s not easy for us to explain to the deputy division commander, let’s all share our opinions!”

The commander of the 10th Brigade, Major General Wang Yiwu, is an old man of the Independent Division. He has been in the army since Tang Qiuli raised his troops in his hometown in Northeast China, and is a brigade-level commander who has been promoted step by step from the grassroots level. He has rich experience in commanding and combat operations.

After thinking about it, Wang Yiwu said: "Chief of Staff, the Lachlan River is the biggest obstacle for the troops to launch an attack. My opinion is that before the little devils find us, find a way to let the two brigades of troops quietly attack

Crossing the river and outflanking us from both sides, I'm sure we can make dumplings for more than 20,000 little devils!"

"Come on, Old Wang, you don't have to say it!" Major General Zhao Shoushan, commander of the 11th Brigade, and Wang Yiwu are old friends, and they have a very good relationship. They are not polite when they speak, "We have nearly 100,000 troops. Yes.

There are more than 20,000 Japs, so you can fight them in any way. The key is how to cross the river without alerting the Japs!"

"My troops are at the protruding position of the ambush position, and I have sent out the brigade reconnaissance battalion. According to the reconnaissance report, the two bridges on the Lachlan River are tightly controlled by the little devils. Look, we

There are tanks, artillery, trucks, two brigades of 30 to 40 thousand people, how can we cross the river?"

Wang Yiwu did not refute, and said with a wry smile: "Isn't this guy just thinking about something!"

Major General Shi Jue, commander of the 9th Brigade, wears glasses and usually looks polite. If he weren't wearing a major general's uniform, he would look like a university teacher. But those who know him well know that this guy is full of ideas and schemes.

Tang Qiusheng originally planned to let him serve as the deputy chief of staff of the Sulu Mobile Corps, but Shi Jue was still unwilling, so the matter was dropped!

"I have an idea!" Shi Jue said unhurriedly.

"That's right, Lao Shi usually has a lot of evil ideas, so stop showing off and pour out all the stuff in your stomach!" several brigade commanders urged.

Yu Guanghan also smiled and said: "Commander Shi, if you have any ideas, it's okay to speak up!"

"Then let me tell you!" Shi Jue, still calm and unhurried, said: "The opinion of Brigadier Wang is very correct. The key is to solve the problem of crossing the river without alerting the Japanese troops on the other side. My opinion is that we put the two

The troops of the brigade moved covertly to Coba and Roto on the west bank of the Lachlan River!"

"Then, the engineering regiments of each brigade set up pontoon bridges at night. After the troops crossed the river, they adopted a long-distance outflanking approach. After about eight hours of rapid march, they were able to form an encirclement on the Japanese 40th Division.

Then, the remaining two brigades launched a frontal attack!"

"Lao Shi's plan is good, but there is a problem, that is, the troops of the two brigades moved covertly to Coba and Roto. The distance is not close, and they have to travel more than 200 kilometers.

The troops will not be able to cross the river within a day or so, and the regiment's order is to launch an attack on the Japanese 40th Division immediately!" Major General Geng Zhijie from the 12th Brigade said slowly and calmly.

It is a problem on both sides. Now, several brigade commanders hate the Lachlan River. Just before coming to the meeting, they were full of gratitude to this river because it can cut off the retreat of the Japanese 40th Division and leave it with no way out.

But when they retreated, the generals all turned their attention to Yu Guanghan. He was the chief of staff and the commander of the unit that annihilated the 40th Division of the Japanese Army. It was Yu Guanghan who had the idea.

During the discussion among the brigade commanders, Yu Guanghan had quickly weighed the various disadvantages and advantages in his mind, and a combat plan was basically formed.

Yu Guanghan stood up and said firmly: "Everyone, the mission assigned to us by the Corps Headquarters to annihilate the 40th Division of the Japanese Army must be completed. The opinions of Brigadier Wang and Brigadier Shi are combined to achieve this battle.

The deployment of troops and the outflanking mission of the left and right wings will be left to your troops to complete!"

"In addition, I will request Commander Battle and Deputy Division Commander Tang that Adelaide should be used as an independent direction to encircle and annihilate the target Japanese 40th Division. There is currently no sign of retreat or transfer. The troops postpone the launch of the offensive for two days.

, there’s no rush anyway!”

The telegram from the troops in the direction of Adelaide requesting to postpone the launch of the attack was in the hands of Tang Qiusheng. He began to think deeply about postponing the attack on the Japanese 40th Division and his plan to encircle and annihilate the Japanese troops in South Australia as a whole.

, somewhat involved in a conflict, eight brigades of troops are rushing towards the front line of Boao Dun and Ararat.

In order to take care of Battle's troops, the troops must stop advancing. Otherwise, the troops in the two directions will launch attacks out of sync. Once the attacks against the Japanese 43rd Division and 45th Division are launched, they will inevitably

The final result of alerting the Japanese 40th Division was that the troops in the direction of Adelaide would most likely be unable to fight.

Another point is that the hundreds of thousands of troops marching west from Melbourne will stay at their current position for at least more than a day. If for this reason, the intentions and traces of the troops are exposed, two Japanese divisions will get wind of it.

Shocked, if we evacuate to central Australia, we will not be able to win any battles in this direction. Wouldn’t the plan to annihilate the main Japanese division in southern Australia come to nothing?

Just when Tang Qiusheng hesitated, Tang Qiuquan happened to return with a great victory. He commanded a brigade of troops, and in less than a day, he defeated the Japanese Third Independent Brigade that was stationed on Tasmania Island.

Thousands of people were killed, and the entire army was wiped out, and more than a thousand people including the brigade commander, Major General Takeuchi, were captured.

For Tang Qiuquan, the battle to attack Tasmania was very boring. Three aircraft carriers, dozens of warships approached, a blast of naval guns, and the bombing of the carrier-based aircraft group, the Japanese beachhead was instantly overturned.

Then, the tanks covered the infantry and began to land, and soon occupied the entire island. In fact, the Japanese major general brigade leader named Takeuchi finally took the initiative to surrender with the remaining defeated soldiers!

As soon as Qiuquan entered the headquarters, he saw Tang Qiusheng frowning in thought, and asked: "Brother Qiusheng, is there anything difficult?"

"Oh! Qiuquan is back, is the battle in Tasmania over?" Tang Qiusheng raised his head to say hello, without answering directly.

"It's just a few thousand terrified Japanese troops! You gave me a brigade of troops, dozens of warships and carrier-based aircraft, and it was easily solved. I left a regiment to garrison on the island, and by the way, I built a

In the prisoner of war camp, there will always be prisoners in the future, so it can be regarded as a place to be detained!" Tang Qiuquan said concisely and concisely.

There was a look of appreciation in Tang Qiusheng's eyes. What he valued most was his brother's ability to think of everything in advance. He was a thoughtful and prepared person. He handed the telegram from Battelle to Qiuquan, "

Look at this!"

"Request to postpone the launch of the attack? It will take at least eighteen hours!" Tang Qiuquan raised his eyebrows.

"It's hard to balance it all!" Tang Qiusheng sighed.

Tang Qiuquan had another opinion, "Brother Qiusheng, I think it's okay. If the two Japanese divisions stranded in Boao Dun and Ararat find our troops, it won't be a big deal. Even if they retreat to central Australia, they can easily leave."

Do I have to take it off? My carrier-based aircraft

The group will follow the bombing all the way. What's more, Wu Zhenjiang's aviation unit has also established a foothold in South Australia. Our air power is enough to block the retreat of the Japanese army. Moreover, the mechanized marching speed of our troops can completely exceed the retreat speed of the Japanese army.

!”

Qiuquan's words made Qiu Sheng's worries go away. He finally made a decision. He called over a staff officer and ordered: "Order the troops advancing towards Bo'ao Dun and Ararat to stop advancing immediately and pay attention to their concealed whereabouts."

,Stand by where you are!”

"Reply a telegram to the Adelaide Landing Force Command. The command agrees with your operational plan to encircle and annihilate the 40th Division of the Japanese Army. However, it can only give you twelve hours and must completely annihilate the Japanese Army by then.

, the troops heading west from Melbourne will launch an attack on the Japanese troops in Boao Dun and Ararat on time!"
