Predator Reborn

Chapter 633 Jiang Taigong goes fishing, and those who wish will take the bait

After a brief shock, the commander of the Japanese 124th Division, Lieutenant General Fukuda, waved his hands helplessly and said: "Chief of Staff, immediately report the current situation of our 124th Division to the former enemy headquarters in Shenyang. In addition, request tactics from the headquarters. Guide us to increase the Air Force’s reinforcements to our 124th Division. At the same time, we will deliver various ammunition and materials that are urgently needed by our troops to our 124th Division.”

"Hai, your Excellency the division commander. However, after the ammunition of the baggage regiment was destroyed, the existing artillery shells of our field artillery regiment can still continue the bombardment for half an hour at most. During the day today, should the troops continue to launch an attack, or should they wait After the logistics department delivers the ammunition that the troops urgently need, the troops will launch the attack again." The chief of staff asked in a low voice while answering.

"Without artillery support, we can ask the former enemy headquarters to provide us with a steady stream of air support. Order the 2nd Infantry Regiment and the Field Artillery Regiment to continue the attack after breakfast and fire out all the artillery shells. .Remember, we must not give the Eighth Route Army troops on the opposite side any chance to breathe. The Third Regiment and the Fourth Regiment of the Infantry should be ready to participate in the battle at any time." Lieutenant General Fukuda ordered with a decisive look.

"Hai, your Excellency the division commander..." Major General Kuroda replied loudly.

Although Lieutenant General Futian has a very good wish and believes that Shenyang Airport will definitely provide him with a steady stream of air reinforcements. However, he seems to have forgotten one thing. That is, at this moment, it is not just his who needs air reinforcements. The 124th Division and the remaining four armies also need massive air reinforcements.

The entire Shenyang Airport can provide less than a hundred combat aircraft for use by hundreds of thousands of troops. As for bombers, there is only one bomber brigade with 36 aircraft. On average, each army only has 36 aircraft. Six aircraft can be allocated. In addition to the flight time of the aircraft, replenishing ammunition and fuel... a series of processes. If Lieutenant General Fukuda wants to receive continuous air reinforcements, then the aircraft that come over his head every time will be at most There can only be three.

Obviously, Lieutenant General Fukuda's dream of increasing air support is, at least for now, impossible to realize.

In the Shenyang City Supreme Headquarters, with the arrival of Lieutenant General Hyoutaro Kimura, Chief of Staff of the Kwantung Army, Major General Kuroda, the Shenyang Supreme Commander, took the initiative to give up his headquarters without any hesitation as part of the encirclement and suppression of Mengshan. The highest former enemy headquarters of the Eighth Route Army. Major General Heitian, the supreme commander of the Japanese army in Shenyang, was relegated to the post of temporary chief of staff of the headquarters.

Early in the morning, Lieutenant General Hyōtaro Kimura had just arrived at the war room, and before he had time to take a sip of tea, Major General Kuroda, who looked anxious, rushed into the war room out of breath. Then, he said anxiously.

"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, there is an urgent call from the 124th Division..."

"Huh?" Kimura Hyōtaro frowned, took the telegram, and began to browse quickly.

After reading the telegram, Kimura Hyōtaro was just about to speak. The telegrams for the remaining four armies and four divisions were almost discussed and handed to him one after another, making him suddenly There is a dizzying feeling.

Soon, "the five main divisions responsible for sending troops to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army troops in the Mengshan area were simultaneously blocked by the Eighth Route Army yesterday. And last night, they were attacked by the Eighth Route Army. The troops suffered heavy losses and needed air reinforcements..."

The telegram was in his hands.

After reading a stack of telegrams in his hand, almost all of which were urgent calls for help. Commander-in-Chief Hyoutarou Kimura handed the telegram to Major General Kuroda in front of him. He frowned and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Kuroda-kun, what do you think the Eighth Route Army in the Mengshan area wants to do? According to the latest reconnaissance from our Kwantung Army intelligence department, the Eighth Route Army in the Mengshan area has only one main column and one recruit column, with less than 40,000 soldiers.

Army. If they concentrate their forces, voluntarily abandon the Mengshan area, and jump out of our army's encirclement in advance, there may be a chance of survival. But if they divide their forces to block our troops, is that any different from committing suicide?"

"Hai, your Excellency, Chief of Staff, is a wise man, and I think so for his humble position. However, Liu Hua, the new commander of the Eighth Route Army, has the title of 'God of War' in China. According to what I know, he has commanded many battles, and his use of

All kinds of tactics and tactics were far beyond our expectations. Therefore, I really can't figure out what the mentality of this Eighth Route Army commander is thinking? Why did he formulate such a nearly

A strategy that will lead to death." After a brief reflection, Major General Kuroda said.

"Well, this Liu Hua is indeed a very outstanding commander. Many outstanding senior commanders of our Imperial Japanese Army are placed in his hands." Speaking of this, Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Kimura Hyōtaro

He changed the subject and ordered decisively.

"But no matter what he thinks. Now that he is dividing his forces to block the attack, don't blame me for being rude to the Imperial Japanese Army. Order the air force to dispatch immediately to provide air reinforcements to various combat units. At the same time, order the logistics department

, we will give the frontline troops whatever they need. In a word, we must take advantage of the favorable opportunity of the Eighth Route Army's division of troops, no matter what the cost, to kill and injure their effective forces as much as possible to prepare for our final decisive battle.

"

"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, is wise, and you are humble enough to convey the order..." Lieutenant General Heitian said after a small flattery.

At this moment, Liu Hua, the commander of the Northeast Field Army, who was being discussed, thought about, and puzzled by countless Japanese commanders, was sitting leisurely in the former enemy headquarters in Baishan County, surrounded by his deputy, Commander Zhou Baozhong.

Next to the map, they were discussing the latest enemy situation reports that were constantly coming from various units on the front line at this moment.

In the face of the Japanese Five-Road Army, hundreds of thousands of heavy troops were encircling and suppressing it. As the supreme commander of the entire base area, how could Liu Hua be so leisurely, sitting in the headquarters talking and laughing, and not being disturbed at all by people outside the headquarters, or even the entire base area?

What about the tense atmosphere?

In Liu Hua's own words, at this moment, he is just like Jiang Taigong at that time. The Japanese Five-Road Army is the fish in Jiang Taigong's mouth. And now, what he is doing is fishing for Jiang Taigong.

Those who take the bait.

As for doing this, the reason is very simple. The five armies of the Japanese army are advancing hand in hand. As long as one party is fatally attacked, the other armies will immediately rush towards them like hungry wolves. When the time comes, wait for your own

There is only one way left, which is to destroy the entire army under the attack of the Japanese army from both inside and outside.

Faced with this fighting style of the Japanese army, Liu Hua, who came from a later generation, first thought of a classic battle in the Liberation War of later generations. That was the tactics used by nearly one million Japanese troops when they attacked the Sulu Liberated Area.

.

Of course, if there is a problem, there is also a problem solver. General Su Yu at that time was the problem solver.

Facing the simultaneous attack of the Japanese army, General Su Yu made good use of the Japanese army's eagerness to make contributions among the various units. In the end, in Menglianggu, the Japanese army was severely beaten.

Eaten his army all the way. In the end, it disrupted the enemy's deployment, frightened the enemy, and forced him to retreat.

At this moment, the situation he faced was basically the same as that of the East China Field Army at that time. Of course, the tactics formulated by Liu Hua were slightly different from those of General Su Yu at that time. That was to wait.

The enemy showed his weakness, and he took the initiative to defeat the enemy.

As long as the enemy gets out of the way, the more than 10,000 elite troops in Liu Hua's hands will take advantage of the situation. With the cooperation of the blocking troops, they will use the fastest time to annihilate the exposed Japanese troops, thus disrupting the enemy.

With the deployment, we won the victory in this rice encirclement and suppression operation.

Although Commander Liu Hua is very confident about his own tactics and the combat effectiveness of his troops.

However, Commander Zhou Baozhong beside him did not have so much confidence. After all, the disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves was obvious. He thought that each main division on the front line, with more than 6,000 troops, would have to block the Japanese army.

A main division of more than 20,000 men attacked. Zhou Baozhong had never been at ease since the beginning of the contact between the enemy and ourselves.

Thinking of this, Zhou Baozhong couldn't hold it in any longer and asked with a worried look on his face to Commander Liu Hua, who was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai in front of him.

"Commander, since I received the telegram last night. So far, there has been no news from the five main divisions. Look, will there be any problems with the night attack launched last night..."

Seeing the worried look in front of him, Commander Zhou Baozhong didn't even eat breakfast because of this. Liu Hua shook his head helplessly and said with certainty.

"Old Zhou, this is less than half an hour, and you have asked me this question for the fourth time. However, I still said what I just said, we must believe in our troops. More importantly, the night attack

Fighting has always been the most advantageous and effective method for our Eighth Route Army troops to deal with the Japanese army. You, just sit here with peace of mind and don't worry. If nothing goes wrong, the victory reports of each division will come soon.

Already."

Sure enough, just as Liu Hua finished speaking, a rush of footsteps reached the ears of the two of them. Then he saw a communications staff officer standing in front of him panting with a telegram. Zhou Baozhong had a look on his face.

He asked eagerly.

"Commander Wang, is this a battle report from the front line?"

"Yes, two leaders, a telegram from Commander Wang Qiang of the First Division of the Recruitment Column..." the communications staff member quickly replied. At the same time, he handed the telegram in his hand to the commander in front of him, Zhou Baozhong.

After receiving the telegram, Zhou Baozhong, who had already looked eager, immediately began to browse quickly. At the same time, the frown on his face relaxed in an instant. Looking at the telegram in his hand, he felt

A thick smile began to slowly appear on Zhou Baozhong's face.

Seeing the smile on Zhou Baozhong's face in front of him, Liu Hua seemed to already know the general content of the telegram and asked with the same smile.

"Old Zhou, I'm not wrong. Speaking of night battles, our Chinese *** team is the ancestor of the little devils. What's more important is that our troops have undergone several consecutive trainings, plus this attack on Baishan

An actual combat training in the county. Its combat effectiveness has improved dramatically. Come on, tell me what kind of results this Wang Qiang has achieved with a new division."

"Yes, Commander..." Zhou Baozhong replied cheerfully.

"After a night of fighting, the First Division of the New Column assembled a total of three infantry regiments and one artillery battalion. Taking advantage of the cover of night, they suddenly launched an attack on an infantry regiment that stood out from the Japanese army."

"Because the Japanese regiment was very exhausted after the day's fighting, and there were only about 2,500 people left. Therefore, after three hours of bloody battle, the First Division of New Soldiers successfully annihilated this infantry regiment.

Of course, the First Division also paid the price of more than 1,500 casualties. However, after recruiting some new soldiers and capturing a large number of light and heavy weapons, the combat effectiveness of the unit, due to the once again strengthened firepower, not only did not have any

Instead of declining, there has been a certain improvement. At present, the Japanese combat strength opposite the First Division only has three infantry regiments with a total combat strength of 10,000 people."

"The fight was good. Call Commander Wang Qiang right away and ask him to keep up the good work. Fight this battle well. After the battle is over, I will give him the number of a main force." Liu Hua nodded and ordered to the communications staff in front of him.

.

"Yes, Chief..."

As the communications staff officer left, Zhou Baozhong looked at Liu Hua in front of him and admired him even more. He said with a smile: "Commander, I am impressed by you. In such a dangerous moment, you can be as stable as a rock. This

No matter what I say, I can't calm down."

In response to Zhou Baozhong's respectful eyes, Liu Hua nodded and replied with a smile.

"Lao Zhou, as a senior commander, holds the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers in his hands. No matter when, while we understand our enemies, we must also have a full understanding of our own troops. This is called knowing yourself and the enemy.

Only then can we fight a hundred battles without danger. Just wait, this morning will definitely be a very lively one. The battle reports from several other divisions will be sure to make you dizzy."

The fact is just as Liu Hua said. Less than a few minutes after the communications staff officer left, the remaining divisions, as if they had discussed it, sent telegrams reporting their victory at the same time. All of a sudden, each division

The division's victory telegram fell like snowflakes inside the headquarters.

The results of the remaining two divisions of the new column were similar, and Liu Hua's call back was similar, "Keep up the good work, fight this battle well, and upgrade the army to the main force."

However, just when Zhou Baozhong read about the results achieved by Li Yuanqing's 13th Division, Liu Hua, who had looked calm just now, immediately interrupted Zhou Baozhong's words and asked in surprise.

"Old Zhou, what did you just say? Li Yuanqing's 13th Division only used an infantry regiment and an artillery battalion to achieve the result of annihilating at least one infantry regiment of the Japanese army and destroying all the ammunition and baggage of the Japanese army's baggage regiment?

"

"Yes, Commander, that's what the telegram said. Based on my understanding of Li Yuanqing, Li Yuanqing will not falsely report the results of the battle..." Zhou Baozhong replied affirmatively.

"Old Zhou, I'm not doubting that 13 is the victory. I want to ask how the Thirteenth Division relied on the strength of a regiment to completely annihilate a Japanese regiment, and also destroy all the Japanese army's baggage and ammunition. By the way, Li Yuanqing has

There is no report on the specific losses of the troops." Liu Hua asked with a thoughtful look on his face.

"It is reported that in yesterday's day's battle, plus last night's night attack, a total of 486 soldiers of the 37th Regiment were killed, and 118 soldiers were seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness. In addition, the artillery battalion, division reconnaissance company, engineer company, and 185

One person was killed, 28 people were seriously injured, and the combat effectiveness was lost." Zhou Baozhong looked at Liu Hua in front of him with a puzzled face and replied.

After a short period of reflection, Liu Hua muttered to himself.

"Old Zhou, it seems that Commander Li Yuanqing of our 13th Division is not simple..."

"Commander, do you have any ideas..." Zhou Baozhong asked with a puzzled look on Commander Liu Hua's sudden rhetorical question.

"kindness…"

Liu Hua thought deeply: "Look, this Li Yuanqing has only used the strength of an infantry regiment so far, and he has achieved such huge results. This can only mean one thing, that is, this Li Yuanqing already has something in his heart.

A huge idea and battle plan. I think, if nothing else happens, the opportunity we are waiting for here will come."

Seeing that Zhou Baozhong in front of him was still frowning, Liu Hua continued.

"Currently, the Japanese army directly opposite the Thirteenth Division has only 10,000 combat troops left. More importantly, Li Yuanqing successfully destroyed its baggage and ammunition, and together with our special operations division, the little Japanese army

Massive activity on the transportation line. These ten thousand little devils will only use less and less ammunition in the coming battle. At the same time, their artillery fire will become a display after consuming the remaining ammunition."

"The 13th Division has a strength of 6,000 men, plus the 10,000 men in our hands. In addition, in addition to the air force advantage, we have an absolute advantage over the 124th Division in every aspect. You say

, hasn’t this Japanese 124th Division become a piece of fat in front of us?”

Hearing this, Zhou Baozhong's face immediately showed a look of realization. He said with excitement: "Commander, I understand. What you mean is that our goal in this operation is to completely annihilate the Japanese 124th Division...

"

"kindness…"

Liu Hua nodded affirmatively and then ordered to the communications staff officer in front of him.

"Immediately call back Commander Li Yuanqing of the 13th Division and ask Commander Li Yuanqing to report his specific combat plan to the headquarters immediately."
