Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 665 The ambition of the Japanese army!
Just when Duan Wu successfully escaped the pursuit of the devils with the special forces team.Zhou Weiguo led the 112nd Regiment, Master Huo's 103th Division, and He Zhizhong's [-]rd Division successfully retreated to the vicinity of Jintan.

Gathering troops and counting the number of people, there are less than 500 people who can continue to fight.

Zhou Weiguo's May 300nd regiment had 200 members, and the independent regiment had less than 103 members.Of the rest, the 112rd Division accounted for more than half, while the [-]th Division accounted for only a small half.

It has to be said that the Chinese army suffered great losses in the battle on the front line in Changzhou.The reason is still a command problem.

The plan of the Dragon Boat Festival and Zhou Weiguo is to organize a surprise army, and when the Japanese army attacked the front line of Changshu, they would penetrate into the enemy's interior and quickly clear the enemy's living targets.

Taking the Independent Regiment and the 600nd Regiment as examples, when they marched to the Changzhou battlefield, their total strength could reach [-].Once so many troops are mobilized, they can ambush and wipe out any active force below the Japanese brigade, or even a regiment, in a short period of time.

Of course, if this is done in the right way.For example, when the Dragon Boat Festival was in Changshu, they successfully wiped out their vanguard before the arrival of the Japanese 30th Brigade.He gave Sasaki Daoyi a loud slap in the face.

But all of this was ruined by that Donald Duck.Changzhou lacks front-line troops.He did not send other reinforcements, but directly pushed up the [-]nd Regiment and the Independent Regiment.

Before reaching Baijia Town, Zhou Weiguo led the Independent Regiment and the 21nd Regiment, and encountered a fierce battle, which caused heavy losses to the Independent Regiment. When they arrived in Baijia Town, they were held back by the passive battle situation and could not move. .In the end, at noon, he could only lead a special operations team to infiltrate the enemy, ambushed the headquarters of the Japanese [-]st Brigade, and seized the Japanese codebook in the devil's field hospital, thus learning about the Japanese plan to use chemical weapons.

However, the Dragon Boat Festival only destroyed the Japanese army's chemical weapons arsenal, which temporarily blocked the little devil's attack.

But I don't want to, the defeat of the first-line defenders in Ma'anshan gave the devils an opportunity. A brigade of devils slanted behind the front-line defenders in Changzhou, causing Changzhou to retreat across the board.

So if it weren't for that Donald Duck's random command, the Changzhou battle would never have been so passive.

But at this time, that Donald Duck still did not repent, and still adopted the defensive style of positional warfare, so that the defenders retreated to Jintan and Danyang to continue to resist the Japanese aircraft and artillery.

This kind of combat thinking can be imagined, how many Chinese soldiers will be killed or injured.

But there is no way, soldiers take obedience as their bounden duty, and sometimes they clearly know that it is death, but they have to stick to their positions.

Zhou Weiguo and others were arranged to Qinglong Mountain for rest.In other words, the reserve team.

Originally, Zhou Weiguo could be evacuated to the safer Fangshan base, which was the defense zone of the 87th Division.

But in order to wait for the Dragon Boat Festival, Zhou Weiguo, the independent group and the [-]nd group voluntarily stayed in Qinglong Mountain.

It's just that he didn't know that the Dragon Boat Festival had already crossed the Yangtze River to the north bank of the river.

Of course, the north bank of the river is not safe either.Originally, the Dragon Boat Festival planned to go north first and then go west to enter the Chinese Defense Zone.But I don't think the devils have deployed a large number of troops on the north bank, and they blocked the road going west of the Dragon Boat Festival.

And during the investigation along the way, Duan Wu discovered that, in addition to the Japanese army hoarding a large number of troops on the western front, the devils actually had troops moving north.

Obviously, the devils don't want to take down a Nanjing, but want all of China.What's more, the devils also want to break through the traffic on the road.

The Japanese army had occupied Hebei at this time, but Shandong was still in the hands of Chinese soldiers.Therefore, if they want to connect Hebei, Henan to Jiangsu, they must win Xuzhou.

And when Li Zhongren became the commander-in-chief of the Fifth Theater, he also noticed this.

This place of Xuzhou is a traffic chokepoint in the east of China, and it is easy to attack but difficult to defend.

It's just that although there are quite a few troops under him, their quality is uneven. In his words, they are just a group of stragglers.And at that time, many people were not very willing to listen to his command.

So Li Zhongren was very anxious when he arrived in Xuzhou.He could only make a battle plan first.As for the matter in the army, he will talk about it slowly after the plan is completed and approved by the local military officer.

In other words, Li Zhongren was also crossing the river by feeling the stones, because the troops did not listen to him, what could he do?
His plan is: first, to retain most of SD Province and northern Jiangsu for a protracted war with the Japanese army.Second, in the initial stage of the battle with the Japanese army, we should guard the Yellow River and key points along the coast to directly prevent the enemy from sneaking in.As a last resort, lure the enemy in depth one by one, enter the southern Shandong and northern Jiangsu areas, and prepare for a battle to win the final victory.

In order to achieve this policy, Li Zhongren also made a deployment in three stages.

In the first stage, the first-line corps stopped the Japanese army on the north bank of the Yellow River and the coastal areas.In this way, the speed of the Japanese army's southward attack was delayed.This allowed the second-line corps of the Chinese army to have plenty of time to deploy near Xuzhou.

In the second stage, if the Yellow River is lost, the first-line corps retreats to Laiwu, Tai'an, and Xintai fortifications, sticks to Huitong, and the main force of the second-line corps advances towards Teng County, Zouxian County, can fight the Japanese army near Yanzhou , A violent counterattack was launched against the Japanese army in Nanjing.

In the third stage, if the battle near Yanzhou fails, then a decisive battle will be fought near Xuzhou.

The policy of this decisive battle is to stick to the core of Xuzhou with a small number of troops, and most of the troops in the first war zone will launch attacks along the flanks of the Jinpu Railway, carry out mobile warfare and guerrilla warfare, and prevent the Japanese army from advancing south.

So it can be seen from this that this Commander Li is not in vain. If he is in command, he is at least better than that Donald Duck.

It's just that he didn't deal with Duan Wu, which caused Duan Wu a headache.

If you go north now, you will have plenty of time to catch up with the Xuzhou battle, but if you see that Chief Li, the opponent will have to peel his own skin.

And he didn't know how he offended him.In the words of the Dragon Boat Festival, it means protecting the calf too much, or being deceived by beauty.

Of course, the most important thing is to survive first.

The special operations team urgently needs to rest and reorganize. They have been fighting for two consecutive days and have raided more than 100 kilometers.

The Dragon Boat Festival calculated that the data was almost the same, so the soldiers were very tired and had to take a rest.

But there are enemies everywhere, and there are not many roads that the Dragon Boat Festival can take.What's more, he was afraid of being discovered by devils.

Now as soon as he is discovered, the devils will immediately surround him and completely wipe out his special warfare team.

The devil hated the Dragon Boat Festival so much, it would be strange if he caught such a good opportunity and didn't completely deal with him! .
