Chapter 525 "Furnace" Changsha City
This assembly meeting lasted for most of the day, and Anan explained his plan in detail.

First, the 6th Division and 40th Division stationed in the Xinqiang River area crossed the Xinqiang River and defeated the Changsha 20th Army on the opposite bank diagonally westward, opening up the left wing of the army to attack Changsha.

Subsequently, the 3rd Division went into battle on the right flank of the 6th Division and defeated the 37th Army in the south bank of the Miluo River, thereby opening up the right flank of Changsha.

In this way, after breaking through the first and second lines of defense built by the Chongqing Army on the Xinqiang River and the Miluo River, and learning the lesson of the second attack on Changsha, which used lightning tactics to penetrate deep into Changsha City but was cut off by the Changsha Army in the rear, Anan only a few It is planned that the current results of the three divisions of the follow-up troops will consume the combat power of the Changsha army, while the three divisions will continue to attack Changsha City.

The ultimate goal is to take Changsha in one fell swoop after consuming a certain amount of Changsha defenders, with the support of aircraft, tanks and surface ships, as well as the cooperation of the independent mixed 9th Brigade, 34th Division and other effective forces!
In order to attract Changsha's attention, Anan Weiji also ordered the troops of the 11th Army distributed in their respective garrisons to attack Changsha from Nanchang, Yichang, Gao'an and other directions. It's just to confuse the sight of Xue Boling's troops after the war started.
The plan has learned the lessons of the previous two attacks on Changsha, but in fact, compared with the second offensive plan, the changes are not very big.In fact, Anan didn't think there was any problem with the second attack on Changsha's battle plan. That plan almost took down Changsha City, so he just needed to make some adjustments on the basis of the original plan.

Before the map, Anan, who finished talking about his plan to attack Changsha for the third time, looked at the lieutenant generals and major generals sitting straight below, and he would command them. He used the capture of Changsha to let the Imperial Army understand that although Going south to fight in Southeast Asia can create more granaries for the empire, but when the entire land of China is under the rule of the empire, this vast territory is unmatched by any small Southeast Asian country.

Finally, Anan Weiji, who was at the top, said, "Everyone, fight for the honor of the 11th Army!"

In front of Ananwei sat a group of devils, lieutenant generals and major generals of each division and detachment, listening to the overall plan of the commander, especially after hearing the last sentence, the faces of all devil lieutenant generals and major generals The will to fight emerged one after another.

Your Excellency the Commander is right, the 11th Army returned without success twice in Changsha City, this has become a disgrace to the 11th Army, the shame must be washed away with blood!
These lieutenant generals and major generals have enough confidence to launch an attack on Changsha again. Although the divisions suffered a lot of damage in the second attack, until now the Tenth Army, except for the necessary garrison troops, can attack Changsha. The strength of Changsha's troops for the campaign was between [-] and [-].

However, compared with the enemy troops in Changsha, these devil officers are convinced that the Chongqing Army in Changsha suffered far more losses than themselves. According to intelligence, both the Tenth Army and the 74th Army, which Changsha relied on as its trump card, were both severely damaged.

From Ananweiji to all the devil officers sitting there are convinced that it has only been a month and a half since the second attack on Changsha dealt a heavy blow to Xue Boling's army, and it is impossible to restore combat effectiveness in a short time.

After Anan Weiji issued the third combat order against Changsha, all the devils on the other side of the Xinqiang River and those who had evacuated to the original station began to enter a state of preparation.

The chief of the Ninth War Zone, the frequent mobilization of the devils was discovered immediately.

For Xue Boling at this moment, he was holding back in his heart the loss of [-] troops due to his pride and underestimation of the enemy during the second Changsha battle.

The failure of the second Changsha battle made Xue Boling sum up a lot. After learning that he would not be dismissed from the position of commander of the Ninth War Zone, he was constantly reflecting on and summarizing the mistakes he made in the second battle. In the reflection summary, he has already summed up a set of tactics to deal with Anan Weiji.

At the beginning, the Xinqiang River was used as the first line of defense, and the Miluo River was used as the second line of defense remained unchanged. However, the third and fourth lines of defense previously established separately between the Laodao River and Liuyang River were changed to between the Laodao River and Liuyang River. Set up a third line of defense.

The reduction of a line of defense was not because of the sharp drop of [-] troops in the second battle, but because of the use of a new set of tactics created by oneself.

He himself named it the Heavenly Furnace Warfare!

These three lines of defense built deep echelon stronghold fortifications, each resisted section by section with deep positions, and led them to the foot of Changsha City by the Liuyang River in due course.

And this "heart" is Changsha City!

This is a bold decision made by Xue Boling after summarizing the previous two Changsha battles.

He understood that for the current 11th Army, Changsha is no longer a simple strategic location, but has also become an anti-Japanese banner on the land of China.After the large-scale propaganda in the newspapers, the Japanese 11th Army attacked Changsha twice without success, and Changsha City has become the "anti-Japanese city" in the hearts of the people. He believes that the devils also value this point, and value that the destruction of Changsha at this moment can severely damage the whole country. Anti-Japanese confidence.

Then, when the enemy was appropriately lured and Changsha City was displayed in front of the 11th Army, Xue Boling believed that Anan Weiji, who was determined to make contributions, would definitely drive straight in.

Only Changsha can firmly attract Anan Weiji, who is careful and eager to make achievements.

And the fighter opportunity I created was to wait for Anan's only few troops to gather in Changsha, and my various troops would quickly form an encirclement during the movement, so that he would not be given a chance to reverse!

Yes, if there is any difference between this set of tactics and the previous ones, it is that at this moment, Xue Boling is no longer based on repelling the devil's attack, but wants to keep Ananweiji's army on the land of Changsha!

Therefore, when he heard that the devils were about to launch a new round of attack, Xue Boling, who had already made plans in his mind, was calm, but his heart was already filled with the shame of wanting to wash away the shame of his mistakes in the second battle.

Before getting up and standing on the sand table, the most important thing about this set of sky furnace tactics is to choose a suitable army to defend Changsha City, which acts as the "bottom of the furnace".

There can't be too many troops defending Changsha City. If there are too many, Anan will have some scruples about attacking Changsha; The city was broken.

Which army to choose can let Ananwei let go of his doubts about attacking Changsha, and can it not be broken by the devil's attack?

These days, Xue Boling has been thinking about the army that "guards the bottom of the furnace". eye.

In addition to its own combat effectiveness, there is another advantage to having the Tenth Army guard Changsha City and the "hearth".

That is, when Anan only knew that it was the Tenth Army that was guarding Changsha, he would despise the Tenth Army that suffered heavy losses in this war, thinking how much strength could be recovered in just two months after the heavy losses?

As long as there is even a little contempt, it will aggravate Ananwei's coveting of Changsha.

In fact, this is also the reason why the tenth army is supplemented by good weapons and high-quality soldiers in the theater these days.

But there is a tricky thing, Li Yutang is now closing the door to thank guests, even if he asks Wu Yizhi to visit the thatched cottage three times, it will not work.
