Chapter 476 Attacking the New Wall River

Faced with the movement attack mode adopted by the devils, "Little Zhuge" Bai Chongxi took the lead in thinking of taking advantage of the main force of the 11th Army in the fifth theater, and the third and ninth theaters took the opportunity to attack the Japanese army in the area under their jurisdiction.

Especially for the Ninth War Zone, the mobilization of most of the main force of the 11th Army of the Devils to the Fifth War Zone must have greatly reduced the strength of the Devils who retreated to the other side of the Xinqiang River after the failure of the last attack on Changsha. The Chinese 11th Army must be unable to defend in time.

But this will also take a risk. In case the [-]th theater does not fully support the [-]th theater in time, and the territory currently occupied by the [-]th theater is taken down by the devils, the officers and soldiers of the [-]th theater will really have to squat in the mountains.

Only relying on the current state of the fifth war zone, it is difficult to hold the remaining territory, especially the right army group. The death of its general will not be a one-star blow to morale. Without timely and full support, the officers and soldiers of the fifth war zone will have to bear it. It's a lot of pressure, and it's not good if the strings are stretched under this pressure.

As the head of the chairman's think tank, Bai Chongxi naturally knew this, so he went on to say:

"Although the Japanese 11th Army showed a great offensive posture, with their existing strength, it is completely insufficient to occupy the territory they occupy. People in the lower ranks believe that the Japanese 11th Army's move is to seek the main force of our fifth theater Therefore, Commander Li can be ordered to urge all the troops not to passively wait for the Japanese army, and to preserve their strength during mobile operations. Abandon military action."

This plan is to reduce the pressure on the fifth theater at the moment through the support of the third and ninth theaters.

According to Bai Chongxi's habit of always giving solutions, he is used to putting his preferred solution first and saying that before, he never advocated defending Changsha, because that would inevitably cause the Central Army's direct troops to suffer predictable heavy casualties, but now It is also a good opportunity to attack the Japanese troops threatening Changsha.

But it’s just that there are some inclinations. Bai Chongxi just feels that the main force of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army has gone to the Fifth Theater. The water is hot right now, and judging by the current posture of the fifth war zone, it is not very likely to block the current momentum of the Japanese attack.

However, it may be necessary to support the fifth theater. Although the fifth theater has long lost Wuhan, it is still a theater with the highest combat effectiveness after all, and it cannot be collapsed.Therefore, whether the third and ninth theaters fully support the fifth theater, or support the fifth theater while taking the opportunity to drive away the Japanese troops in the area under their jurisdiction, there are two options, and it is up to the chairman to weigh it himself.

Bai Chongxi knew in his heart that the situation in the fifth war zone was already bad, and it could just stop getting worse. If he didn't take the opportunity to wipe out the Japanese 11th Army's garrison in the third and ninth war zones, it would be a waste of opportunity.Of course, he would not take the initiative to say this. As the chief think tank, it is a taboo to make decisions for the chairman.

The chairman sat on Fangzheng's chair, weighed it for a while, and said, "Order the two officers, Xue and Gu, to take strong actions, mainly to support the Fifth War Zone! In addition, Cixiu, you have a hard trip, go to the Fifth War Zone, For the time being, take over General Zhang Zizhong's Right Army Group."

The word "principal" used by Generalissimo Jiang showed his attitude that he could not give up the fifth theater.

"Yes, delegate!"

Chen Cixiu, who was named, stood at attention.

Although on the southern Guangxi battlefield, Bai Chongxi and Chen Cixiu were both demoted from first-level generals to second-level generals due to unfavorable battles, but that was just an angry move by the chairman after he lost the main communication route between Yunnan and Burma , the weight of the two of them in his heart has not been reduced. Now that he is going to take over the Right Army, which has become a mess and needs to be reorganized, the chairman of the committee also directly thinks of Chen Cixiu, who is good at leading the army.

In the commander's headquarters of the Ninth War Zone, Xue Boling, who received the telegram from Chongqing, immediately gathered together the commanders of the group army who participated in the memorial service after the memorial service, and worked together.

Before the map, Xue Boling read the telegram from the Supreme Command, and the group army commanders started discussing after hearing the telegram from the Supreme Command that the Ninth War Zone go north to support the Fifth War Zone.

"Mr. Xue, the Japanese army did not use troops in our Ninth War Zone this time, but instead attacked Xiangyang and Zaoyang. I think their ultimate goal is to prepare for the attack on Changsha. Once the Japanese army opens up the channel to attack Changsha from Wuhan this time, it will be very difficult for them to attack Changsha." It will be very disadvantageous for us to defend Changsha City, so I agree to go north to support."

"Before Okamura attacked Changsha, Commander Li of the Fifth War Zone also sent troops to support him. When he came out to march and fight, loyalty still needs to be said."

"If you don't take this opportunity to compress the Japanese army's position on the other side of the Xinqiang River, I will be sorry for my colleagues in the Fifth Theater. I think that it is completely possible for our frontline troops to cross the Xinqiang River and advance for dozens of kilometers. In other words, this can also gain some depth for us to let go of Changsha!"

"Haha, I would also like to sneak up on the new commander of the 11th Army from behind."

"."

This procedure for the commanders of the various armies to express their opinions is necessary. Although the Supreme Command can mobilize them with a single order, if there is no willingness of these army commanders, the result can only be work without effort. The previous "winter offensive" "Now, eight or nine divisions attacked the enemy in Dashaping for a full month. What happened in the front.

Of course, this is a matter that does not involve the survival of the Ninth War Zone itself. Xue Boling will also ask these people for their opinions. Once the Japanese army attacked Changsha, he would directly order it, and anyone who did not implement it would be pushed to a military court.

Xue Boling put his hands behind his back and said, "Send two armies to support the fifth theater in advance, and compress the space of the Japanese army on the other side of the Xinqiang River. I also have this intention!"

Chief of Staff Wu Yizhi, who stood aside, said, "According to intelligence personnel's investigation, the number of Japanese troops currently deployed on the other side of the Xinqiang River and centered on Xinqiang Town is about [-] in a regiment."

With such a troop figure, everyone is more confident.

For these group army commanders, including Chief of Staff Wu Yizhi and theater chief Xue Boling, it is natural that the theater should be considered first.

Xue Boling turned to look at the sand table, took a deep breath and said:
"Since you want to take the initiative to attack, you can't get out of the water. Let the 10th Army and the 74th Army go up, and the 52nd Army on the Xinqianghe position will also attack together. You must fight hard and smash the Xinqiang before the Japanese army reacts. The Japanese troops in the town will be pulled out, and the entire area from Xinqiang River to Xinqiang Town will be included in the Boling line of defense!"

The 190th Division of the Tenth Army was temporarily on the brigade, in the afternoon when the sun was shining brightly.

"Beep ring, beep ring!"

A call came from the division headquarters. After answering the call, the brigade commander Chen Tinghe asked the car to be prepared outside.

"Old Li, the commander ordered that we have a battle to fight. It is the devils on the other side of the Xinqiang River. I will go to a meeting to accept the task. You gather the whole brigade."

After finishing speaking, Chen Tinghe got into the car in a hurry, and Li Chong immediately dialed the numbers of the three regiments below, and the whole brigade assembled to prepare for war!

In the evening, Chen Tinghe returned to the brigade headquarters.At this moment, the three regiments have completed their army preparations.

Chen Tinghe, Li Chong, the chief of staff and the three regiment leaders sat at the table, and the map was spread out. Chen Tinghe looked at the people in front of him, and began to convey the combat tasks assigned by his military department at the meeting.
