Comrade, your ingredients are too complicated.

Chapter 301 I Will Micromanage Xue Boling

On September 1941, 9, in the Dayunshan area of ​​the Boling defense line.

"Call me!"

Accompanied by an angry shout, Hanyang-made and Czech-style gunshots resounded through the forest, and the devil infantry walking at the front of the team was shot and fell to the ground without even a chance to react.

Grenades and mortars followed, with the former flying from all directions, seeking to maximize damage.The latter specialized in attacking the counterattack troops just organized by the grassroots officers, making the Japanese army completely like lambs to be slaughtered.

This was a perfect ambush. The fruit-preserved soldiers from the ninth war zone once again took advantage of the terrain to kill more than 20 devils.

Looking at the disgraced samurai of his brother country around him, Kanda Masakae, the head of the Sixth Division, took a deep breath. He only felt a burning anger in his heart.

"Baga! What are you chasing after! Are you all pigs with no memory?"

"Everyone stop advancing! Troops at all levels immediately calculate the losses! Damn the rats of the Republic of China, get out of the mountains if they have the ability, why are the troops pretending to be the Eighth Route Army!"

"As a man, he attacked us from behind, why wouldn't he fight us head-on! Are Xue Boling's soldiers all insects like you?"

Obviously, the Sixth Division was not ambushed for the first time.

After hitting a wall several times, Lieutenant General Guizi lost a little of his sanity, and he actually said crazy words that made the opponent give up the superior terrain.

The fury of the head of his own division made all the staff members tremble.No one dared to go up and report the casualty statistics, for fear of getting a big fight because of something inappropriate.

Considering the safety of the troops, Ishimaru Renpachi, the chief of staff of the Sixth Division, reluctantly stepped forward alone.

"Kanda-kun, you don't have to blame yourself for the failure. We have fallen into the current situation, all because of those secret agencies who killed thousands of swords!"

"The information in our hands is wrong. There are more than two regiments of enemies in this mountainous area. From my experience, at least tens of thousands of people have exchanged fire with us in the recent period."

"Hurry up, the warriors can't stay in place for too long. This is the enemy's guerrilla zone, and no one knows when those damn guerrillas will launch a new round of attack."

"The battle is imminent, we must preserve our strength."

It seemed that Major General Guizi's persuasion had worked. Kanda Shochu rubbed his old face vigorously, then pulled out his general's sword and ordered to move on.

The Dayun Mountain area north of the Xinqiang River is a high-quality guerrilla battlefield behind enemy lines that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Although the altitude here is not very high, the advantage is that the mountains are steep and the forest is densely covered. People who don't know the terrain can easily lose their way.

In addition, there is a secret passage leading to the first-line positions in the Ninth War Zone in the mountains. Even over the mountains, you can directly reach the occupied area controlled by the Japanese No. 11 Army.

If the devils want to attack Tanzhou on a large scale, the guerrillas Xue Boling deployed in the mountains must be cleared before the battle officially begins.

Otherwise, the preserved fruit troops would have the opportunity to take advantage of the chaos to rush into the empty rear of the Japanese army, and directly come to a set of quality three companies of ambushes, broken roads and bridges, and broken grain roads.

Such an important strategic area, as the commander of the battle, Ananwei would naturally not let it go.

The plan to attack Tanzhou can only proceed if the hidden dangers on the flanks are ruled out. After all, he doesn't want to experience the feeling of a fire in the backyard.

After much consideration, the old devil chose the sixth division with the strongest combat effectiveness and fighting will from the three Type A divisions.

According to everyone's expectations, Kanda Shochu would only need three days to end the battle. After all, there are not many troops in Central China that are the opponents of the Class A Division.

Guerrilla?That's not a trivial matter.

On the first day I ever wanted to enter the mountain, the soldiers in the ninth war zone gave a vivid teaching lesson to the devils.One by one, they seemed to have become the Eighth Route Army, leading the enemy by the nose from beginning to end.

The terrain of Dayun Mountain is complex and the roads are rugged, and the width of the battlefield is very limited.When the Sixth Division is attacking, it can only advance slowly in units of squadrons.

Considering the overall superiority of the Japanese army in terms of firepower, Guoku's guerrilla squad led the regular army to support them, and continued to carry out raids and side attacks at the battalion and company level, focusing on infantry who were out of touch with the artillery.

Moreover, the small unit in the Ninth War Zone neither loves fighting nor greedy for merit, and fully implements the twelve-character guerrilla policy learned from the teacher: the enemy advances and retreats, the enemy is stationed and we are harassing, and the enemy is tired and we fight.

Every time a wave of enemies is killed, they run away immediately, without giving the devils a chance to fight back.

If the enemy is determined to pursue, then lead them to the vicinity of your own firepower points and fortifications.

As the second phase of the Boling Defense Line, there are various fortifications all over Dayun Mountain.If it weren't for the sixth division's overly strong attacking ability, the ninth war zone could even have the confidence to fight in positions.

After nearly ten days of struggle, the entire Sixth Division was physically and mentally exhausted.Even though a regiment of soldiers had been lost, the devils hadn't even touched the guerrillas.

Just as Kanda Shochu and Ishimaru Nipachi were about to set off, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind them.

"Lieutenant General Kanda! Major General Ishimaru! A new order has come from the headquarters!"

"Commander Anan Weiji asked our Sixth Division to return immediately, and after a short rest, we will immediately participate in the next river crossing operation."

"In the telegram, the commander also specifically ordered one thing! He asked us to retreat alternately with the No.40 division, so as to prevent Xue Boling from sending more troops to Dayun Mountain."

"Hey, okay!"

······
On September 9, the No.17 Army Headquarters of the Japanese Army.

Although the confidant's troubles in Dayun Mountain have not been dealt with, they can still cut off their supply lines at any time.However, the battle in the mountains has already delayed the original battle for a week, and the troops will completely lose the opportunity if they wait any longer.

The difficult mountain battle made Anan Weiji more firm in his strategy.

The terrain around Tanzhou is very complicated, and it is definitely a typical case of easy defense but difficult attack.

It relies on Xiangjiang River and Dongting Lake on the left, Mufu Mountain and Lianyun Mountain on the right, and has four rivers, Xinqiang River, Miluo River, Laodao River and Liuyang River as natural defense lines.

Before Okamura Ningji insisted on letting several divisions fight together in Mufu Mountain and Lianyun Mountain, which eventually led to the failure of the entire battle.

Abandoning the complex mountainous areas and heading towards Tanzhou from relatively flat hilly areas is the kingly way.

"Pass my order!"

As soon as these words came out, the devils in the combat conference room immediately put down their work, and everyone focused their attention on their own commander.

"The 20th Division and the No.[-] [-]th Brigade will launch an attack from Xinkaitang to the south! The [-]rd Division will attack from the Wujiang Bridge area to the south!"

"The Sixth Division, the Independent Mixed No.14 Brigade, and the No.60 Second Battalion of the Independent Infantry, attack south from Xitang! The No.40 Division and No.30 Fifth Division attack south from Baiyangtian!"

"Independent Infantry No. 60 Third Battalion with a Mountain Artillery Squadron and a Marine Corps, take a boat from Yueyang to the Qingshan area on the west bank of the Xiangjiang River tonight, and outflank the retreat of the Ninth War Zone!"

The above-mentioned combat instructions may seem cumbersome, but to put it bluntly, it can be summed up in one sentence, that is, the five divisions attacked south with all their strength, and rushed directly to Tanzhou.

Judging from the map, Ananwei has deployed nearly 15 troops in an area of ​​just [-] kilometers.

Leaving aside the artillery, just having three A-type divisions with one B-type and one C-type division is not a powerful enemy that can be resisted by a single theater.

After all the staff members left, Chief of Staff Isamu Kinoshita and Deputy Chief of Staff Futami Shusaburo both looked solemn.

"Your Excellency, the spy network we arranged in the Ninth War Zone of the Republic of China has been destroyed, and Xue Boling may have seen through our intentions."

"Look at this battle, is it better to have a long-term plan?"

After hearing what his subordinates said, Ananwei showed a puzzled expression.

A day before, he had also received information intercepted from the 74th Army of Guofu. Why was Nei Ying suddenly caught?
Now that the five divisions are in place, if the No.11 army is withdrawn, it will definitely become the laughing stock of the entire dispatched army.After thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and made the final decision:

"The plan remains unchanged, the whole army will launch an attack at four o'clock tomorrow morning!"

"The battle force is 15 vs. 12! The advantage is mine!"

······
September 1941, 9, Ninth Theater Command.

"Brother Boling, this Ananwei has really played tricks behind his back."

"If you hadn't asked the chairman to ask Boss Dai to verify the information himself, we might have been blinded by the false news released by the enemy."

"The two divisions of the No.11 Army in Dayun Mountain are being played around by our guerrillas and the Fourth Army!"

Hearing what his chief of staff said, Xue Boling nodded slightly with a smile on his face, but the pride he used to have had long since disappeared.

Among all the commanders of Guoguo's theater, his record and strength can definitely be among the best.

Before this battle, he had already won the victory of Wanjialing and the first battle of Tanzhou, and his personal prestige and regional prestige had almost reached their peak.

However, the successive victories of the North China Eighth Route Army sounded the alarm for the high-level executives of Guofu.If we don't show some achievements, I'm afraid that the people's hearts will completely turn to the "friendly army".

What's more, compared with a certain commander surnamed Peng, his achievements seem to be a little insufficient.

Serious Xue Boling must not be underestimated. He first asked his chairman to dispatch military commanders to collect intelligence on the Japanese army, and then saw through the enemy's plot like a cocoon.

Before the attack on Dayun Mountain, Anan Weiji specially sent spies to release a lot of false information, trying to convince the senior management of the Ninth War Zone that they had divided three divisions to participate in the southward plan.

If it was Xue Boling who underestimated the enemy, he might have sent defenders from the Xinqiang River area to reinforce Dayun Mountain's defense, causing the first line of defense to quickly collapse.

But now he not only won the first game, but also fully utilized the tactics he learned along the way.

"Give me an order to let the guerrillas retreat into the deep mountains and continue to deal with the enemy. After the battle begins, immediately cut into the devil's hinterland!"

"Notify the Fourth Army to withdraw from Dayun Mountain as soon as possible and return to the south of Xinqiang River to rest as soon as possible. The enemy may launch a general attack at any time, so let them prepare for battle."

"Secretly inform the commanders of the Tenth Army and the 74th Army to come to see me. I have something important to explain to them. This matter must not be heard by the fifth person. I am not sure if there are any spies in the theater. .”

After issuing orders one by one, Xue Boling walked to the military map by the wall.

Anan Weiji's tactics seem to be very fierce. Gathering troops together is likely to defeat his own arrangement head-on, but this kind of combat has obvious loopholes.

If you want to annihilate the enemy's main force in an organized way, you should coordinate multiple troops to surround them on a large scale.

According to military common sense, the diameter of the encirclement circle at the first level of the Annihilation Army cannot be less than [-] kilometers, and multiple encirclements must be implemented.

For example, in Operation Barbarossa, the pincer offensive most commonly used by the German three armored forces and motorized forces, they would intrude at least 150 kilometers on the flanks before starting to make dumplings.

Such an exaggerated handwriting can annihilate tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of bear troops in one battle.

On the other hand, the No. 11 Army of the Japanese Army had five divisions crowded in an area of ​​[-] kilometers, and there was no possibility of outflanking at all.

Hunan is not France, and the Xiangjiang River is not the Ardennes Forest. There is absolutely no possibility of the Sickle Project being reproduced on the battlefield of the Republic of China.

There are tanks and a large number of artillery in the opponent's army. The breakthrough and soft attack values ​​must be very strong. They can definitely cause large casualties in a short period of time, and even penetrate one or two river bank defense lines in one go.

But it is also very easy for one's own side to retreat, and it is impossible to annihilate all the living forces.

In a sense, Anan Weiji's tactics were completely restrained by Xue Boling's horoscope pocket formation and Tianlu formation.

The principle of the former is very simple. When the Japanese army concentrates its superior forces to attack, the troops at all levels in the ninth theater will avoid the edge, and at most a part of the troops will be deployed to delay the front to slow down the advance speed of the Japanese army.

At the same time, the main force in the theater spread out in two wings like a horoscope, like a big open pocket.

Waiting for the Japanese army to fully enter the huge pocket array, the troops on the two wings will quickly shrink, maneuvering, interspersing, dividing and eating the enemy.

The latter is an upgraded version of the former, which forms a circular array at the end of the horoscope pocket like a furnace.

If the enemy goes deep into the battle formation, our side will encircle and cover the furnace from the outside, and divide the inside of the sky furnace into a network.No matter how hard the enemy's bones are, he must be forcibly cremated!

When the enemy's offensive depth is shallow and the encirclement situation is not sufficient, the figure-of-eight pocket formation is used.

Once the enemy can cross the Liuyang River and invade Tanzhou, they can start street fighting and use Tianlu tactics.

After confirming that there was no problem with his deployment, Xue Boling said to the chief of staff beside him:
"The core of our tactics this time is very simple, which is to retreat to decide the battle and take the outer wings. Except for the troops I have arranged on the frontal battlefield, everyone is not allowed to push the line for no reason!"

"The land is lost, and the land is lost! The land is lost, and the land is saved! The people in Hunan are still waiting for the news of our victory! Let them see the backbone of our Chinese people!"

　As the title, the second battle of Tanzhou only has this chapter, which is equivalent to me playing from the perspective of God.

　　The main reason is that the pressure from the devils is too great, and if I don't play in person, I may not be able to defend.

　　In the outline, there will be three major battles going on at the same time.

　　Each battle affects each other more or less. After all, the battlefield is not too far away, and the enemy is the same force.

　　There is another chapter tonight, maybe [-] words.But it may be very late, it is recommended to wake up and watch.
