Bourne: Command and Conquer

Chapter 1482: , the hard food is coming

Chapter 1482, here comes the hard food

Pursue eastward.

Suddenly there was a prompt on the empty finger map.

A large number of Japanese heavy weapons are heading south from Tai'an along the Jinpu Railway.

105mm heavy cannon…

tank…

There are also a large number of 75mm mountain guns...

Are the Japanese invaders heading south?

"Report!"

The communications officer arrives.

Hand Zhang Yong a telegram. It was sent by the 68th Army.

The content is that the Japanese invaders occupied Yanzhou (city). We are marching towards Zoucheng. The front line was the Japanese Tenth Division.

To be precise, it was the Japanese Setani detachment.

This Setani detachment was expanded from the Setani brigade and added a large number of artillery.

Mainly 75mm mountain guns and 90mm mortars.

At the same time, it can also be supported by the 105mm heavy cannon of the 10th Division at any time.

If the heavy cannon is not powerful enough, it can also be supported by an independent field heavy artillery regiment. That's a 150mm howitzer!

In addition, there is a tank regiment. Supported by at least fifty tanks.

However, for the time being, these heavy weapons of the Japanese invaders have not yet reached Yanzhou.

"It's on!"

A boiling voice suddenly appeared in Zhang Yong's mind.

What’s on the table this time are all hard dishes!

A Segu detachment is so powerful and has such powerful firepower.

It is indeed very difficult to surround them and annihilate them all. If three divisions are served together...

It is very likely to be burst!

"Report!"

The second telegram came again.

Continuing with the report on the Japanese vanguard.

The 68th Army was in Zoucheng to stop the Japanese invaders from moving south and slow down their speed.

At the same time, in Teng County, south of Zoucheng, the 122nd Division of the Sichuan Army was ready. Prepare to continue to block the Japanese invaders.

The slight difference is that this 122nd Division did not arrive in a hurry. But he has long been waiting for work.

Not only were all personnel in the division present, but ammunition was also replenished.

At the same time, the fortifications must be excavated at least ten days in advance.

Their goal was not to stop the Japanese invaders, but to create a false impression on them.

The Japanese invaders thought that the national army behind Teng County was not ready yet, so they had to fight hard in Teng County.

In this way, the Japanese invaders will continue to attack fiercely. Hope to break through Teng County.

At that time, the 122nd Division pretended to be defeated and retreated.

The Japanese invaders would swarm southward and then enter a predetermined encirclement.

However, the Japanese invaders entering the encirclement was only the first step. The battle behind is the hard part.

The current situation is a bit complicated. Only the Segu detachment of the Japanese invaders went south. It's probably a pathfinder.

We must intercept the Japanese aggressors in Zoucheng and Teng County and give them some suffering. Only then will the Japanese invaders from behind continue to pounce. Then attack south.

Opening up the Jinpu Railway was the planned strategic goal of the Japanese invaders. They have to find a way to get it done.

Once they encounter strong resistance, they will increase their troops.

The most ideal situation is to mobilize all the Japanese invaders near Jinan, and then the 69th Army takes the opportunity to recover Jinan. Then cut off the Yellow River Iron Bridge.

In this way, the three divisions of the Japanese invaders will be caught in a trap.

If the Japanese invaders in the Pingjin area want to go south for reinforcements, they will be intercepted by the natural dangers of the Yellow River. I can only stare and worry.

"Call back."

"yes."

"Content: Order the 68th Army to stop the Japanese invaders in Zoucheng for five days and five nights starting from now. No mistakes."

"yes."

The communications officer turned and left.

Zhang Yong looked at his watch. Today is March 5th. early spring.

They held off Zoucheng for five days, attracting more Japanese invaders. Then they pretended to be defeated and retreated, allowing the Japanese invaders to move south.

Then continue to stop the Japanese invaders in Teng County. Let the Japanese invaders concentrate their forces relatively.

During the period of blocking the Japanese invaders from moving south, the troops in the rear needed to be mobilized quickly and deployed around Taierzhuang.

Of course, what happened next had nothing to do with Zhang Yong.

His first task was to block the Segu detachment in Zoucheng. Then after the Japanese invaders moved south, they cut off their retreat route.

Therefore, he will fight on the northern front for some time to come.

"Commander He, the war is coming."

"knew."

He Zhuguo looked very calm.

He doesn't know the complete Plan C yet. But I can vaguely guess a thing or two.

They are all old battlefields, and it can definitely be seen that the area around Taierzhuang actually belongs to the bottom of the bag. It can knock the Japanese invaders in very well. Then hammer to death.

Of course, the premise is that the surrounding national troops must be strong enough to prevent the Japanese invaders from breaking through their pockets.

The Japanese invaders must have been able to see this as well. However, they may be confident in their fighting abilities. Not afraid of being surrounded.

"Commissioner, are you going to Zoucheng?" He Zhuguo asked.

"No. Let's go to Tai'an." Zhang Yong replied, "Go to the rear of the Japanese invaders."

"Okay." Of course He Zhuguo wanted it.

With Zhang Yong following him, winning the battle will be easy.

No matter how many Japanese cavalry they encountered, they were not afraid.

"Walk!"

"yes."

The cavalry moved on.

Zhang Yong is not worried about the 68th Army on the front line of Zoucheng.

The commander of the 68th Army is Li Xianzhou. This is purely defensive warfare. Not too difficult.

Li Xianzhou faced more than 10,000 Japanese invaders. He himself had more than 20,000 people. The Japanese heavy weapons are still behind!

Near Yanzhou, there were not even Japanese 75mm mountain guns.

If he couldn't survive even five days, he could go home early and sell sweet potatoes.

"Ta-ta-ta..."

The sound of horse hooves is rapid. Galloping towards the east.

To the east is the Jinpu Railway. There are a large number of heavy weapons of the Japanese invaders.

If part of it can be destroyed, the Japanese invaders from Jinan can definitely be attracted out early.

Or it could create the illusion that the Setani detachment was surrounded. The Japanese invaders in Jinan rushed out to rescue. Then leave Jinan.

"Report!"

On the way, I received a telegram from the Fifth War Zone.

No signature.

Just one simple sentence -

Plan C is being implemented.

Obviously, the fifth theater has begun to deploy troops and generals.

In addition to the troops already deployed near Tai'erzhuang, new troops will be transferred in.

Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind.

He, Zhang Yong, is now responsible for luring the enemy and bringing more Japanese invaders into the encirclement.

Take a deep breath.

Try to calm yourself down as much as possible.

I have repeatedly warned myself that I must remain calm during major events. Be calm.

However, this is easier said than done.

I always feel my nerves are tense. Worry about gains and losses. Overthinking.

Can't help but imagine various possibilities...

Imagine the worst case scenario…

Imagine how to deal with the aftermath if the encirclement and suppression failed...

Prepare for the worst first…

How to successfully evacuate Xuzhou if there is a total defeat...

We must not allow the Japanese aggressors to attack from the north and south and annihilate all the national troops in the Xuzhou area.

If the national army in the Xuzhou area is completely wiped out, then Chiang Kai-shek will really surrender.

There is no way to fight.

There is no army left.

Indeed, this battle is a matter of life and death.

Hopefully…

Suddenly gestured. Indicates to slow down.

Red dot found on radar map.

There are a few scattered ones, probably cavalry scouts of the Japanese invaders.

Sure enough, the Japanese cavalry established a cordon far away on the west side of the Jinpu Railway.

"Commissioner?"

"There are Japanese cavalry ahead. Scattered scouts."

"Go around?"

"No. Just kill them. Let's attack the Japanese invaders' mountain artillery positions."

"good."

He Zhuguo immediately sent an order.

Soon, the battle started.

The national cavalry swarmed forward and dealt with the sporadic Japanese cavalry.

Bang!

Intermittent gunfire.

The nearby Japanese cavalry scouts were quickly killed.

However, the Japanese cavalry scouts in the distance quickly turned around and fled.

Gunshots were fired, and the Japanese invaders nearby must have known about it.

There may be Japanese invaders coming to intercept. The heavy weapons of the Japanese invaders behind will also increase their alertness.

Especially those 105mm heavy cannons, the Japanese invaders will definitely protect them very well. The Second Cavalry Army had no chance of making a sneak attack.

Rather than risking a sneak attack on the Japanese invaders' 105mm heavy cannon, it is better to retreat to the next best thing and sneak attack on the Japanese invaders' 75mm mountain cannon.

if…

Well, it would be best if it could be captured.

The Second Cavalry Army has spare war horses. The captured 75mm mountain cannon can just be carried away with a war horse.

After the Japanese invaders were surrounded, it was an arduous battle.

It's impossible without direct-fire artillery.

The rocket launcher's attack capability is always a bit inferior.

The ability to destroy solid fortifications is not as good as the 75mm mountain gun. Therefore, it is very important to capture the Japanese 75mm mountain gun. The greater the number of seizures, the better.

On the contrary, if it is a 105mm heavy cannon, it cannot be pulled away. It can only be destroyed. It cannot be used to attack the critical stage.

"Ta-ta-ta..."

Assault forward.

Like a tidal wave sweeping over the wilderness.

Soon, more than five hundred red dots appeared on the edge of the radar map.

Obviously, this is a brigade of Japanese cavalry. Trying to come up and intercept. The two sides happened to meet face to face.

Zhang Yong immediately informed him.

The three brigades of the Second Cavalry Army divided into three groups and outflanked them in a roundabout way.

Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)

"Bang bang bang..."

There was a fierce exchange of fire between the two sides.

Calculation of intention and lack of intention. The Japanese cavalry suffered an immediate disaster.

One face-to-face encounter and half of it was destroyed.

The remaining Japanese invaders realized that something was wrong and hurriedly reported it.

They couldn't tell how many national cavalry people were coming, so they directly reported 10,000!

"Nani?"

"Ten thousand?"

The telegram was quickly forwarded to Jinan.

This is the headquarters of the Japanese Second Army. The commander of the Second Army was Hisao Nishio.

The Japanese Second Army temporarily took charge of the three main divisions: the 5th, 10th, and 14th. There were also the 26th and 31st Divisions that were later established.

At present, the 10th Division has moved south and crossed Tai'an. But the 5th and 14th Divisions are still in Jinan.

According to the original battle plan, the 10th Division was used to open the Jinpu Railway. Then the 5th Division took over. Quickly captured Xuzhou.

However, the 14th Division did not need to go to Xuzhou. Instead, it attacked westward and advanced along the Jining and Heze lines. Until Kaifeng was captured. Completely cut off the Longhai Railway. Then he turned back and formed a huge encirclement with other troops against the national army in Xuzhou area.

The national army wanted to destroy the Japanese invaders in the Xuzhou area.

The Japanese invaders also hoped to wipe out the main force of the Chinese army in the Xuzhou area.

Before receiving the alarm telegram, Nishio Juzo was discussing with Seishiro Sakagaki how to complete the Xuzhou strategy as soon as possible.

The base camp is anxious.

Because the Kwantung Army was empty of troops. Very dangerous.

The current Kwantung Army has only three main divisions: the 7th, 12th, and 17th.

The other divisions are all newly established. Only small arms. No heavy weapons. Once the Kwantung Army is attacked, the consequences will be disastrous.

The war in China was unexpected by the base camp.

The hope of ending the war in three months has been completely shattered.

At the imperial meeting, Chief of General Staff Sugiyama Moto talked about him. Never mention three months again.

Nine months have passed since Marco Polo Bridge, although a lot of areas have been occupied. However, the Chiang government still refused to surrender.

This problem gives the base camp a headache.

As long as the Chiang government refuses to surrender, the war within the Pass will continue.

It would be impossible to transfer the main division back to the Kwantung Army.

"We must be quick. We must quickly force the Chiang government to surrender." Nishio Juzo said in a deep voice.

"Your Excellency, the Chiang government is now just short of the final blow." Sakagaki Seishiro was full of confidence, "As long as we take the last step, it will fall."

"Since there is a warning from the front, then you can lead the fifth division south to join us. Open up the situation as soon as possible."

"Okay. I'll leave now."

"Doihara-kun will also quickly bring the 14th division to join the battlefield."

"Your Excellency, Jinan is empty..."

"Sakagaki-kun, don't worry, the 26th Division will arrive soon."

"Then there's no problem."

Sakagaki Seishiro is a man of action. After returning home, he immediately led the team to set off.

The Fifth Division had actually been ready to go south for a long time. After giving the order, we immediately took the train and headed south along the Jinpu Railway.

"Yo Xi!"

Seishiro Sakagaki was full of ambition.

As long as the main force of the Chinese army is eliminated in the Xuzhou area, they will be victorious.

Compared with occupying Taiyuan, occupying Xuzhou is obviously more important. This is a strategic location. It is the most critical factor in determining the situation in China.

After capturing Xuzhou, there is no doubt that he will be promoted to general...

…

"Tsk tsk!"

"hey-hey!"

Here, Zhang Yong also saw his goal.

My eyes are on fire!

The Japanese 75mm mountain cannon.

A full artillery battalion. Thirty-six doors!

Just off the train. The queue has not been completed yet.

Because the railway in front was damaged. The train could not move forward and had to rely on animal power to drag it.

This is a complete artillery brigade of the Japanese invaders. Not only does it have a 75mm mountain gun. There is also a considerable amount of artillery shells. There are other supplies as well.

Of course, the Japanese invaders also had security forces. Also prepared in advance.

However, when the black cavalry of the Chinese army suddenly appeared, the Japanese invaders were completely stunned.

"Baga..."

The Japanese artillery commander was dumbfounded.

how so?

Why are there so many national army cavalry?

Oh my God!

How could they be targeting me?

By the way, there are so many of you, targeting my artillery brigade?

Can’t understand…

Unacceptable…

Killing a chicken with a knife...

"Baga!"

Hastily ordered to resist.

But it's of no use.

Field artillery was simply unusable. You can only fight back with small arms.

result…

"Bang bang bang..."

"Da da da..."

The two sides engaged in fierce fighting.

The total number of Japanese invaders totaled about 900.

Among them, more than half are artillery. Not a professional infantryman. How can you resist it?

"Requesting urgent tactical guidance!"

The only thing the Japanese invaders could do was to desperately cry for help.

The nearby Japanese invaders rushed in for reinforcements. But they were all intercepted by the Second Cavalry Army.

There are more than 7,000 cavalry troops! Enough troops!

half an hour…

One hour…

The battle is over.

The Japanese artillery was completely wiped out.

Thirty-two Japanese mountain cannons were captured.

Four gates were blown up by the Japanese invaders themselves. Cannot be repaired.

However, there are thirty-two doors, and Zhang Yong is already very satisfied. Immediately arrange for war horses to be dragged back.

Where to go back? Of course it’s Jining.

The Second Cavalry Army was tired after continuous fighting and needed to go back to rest.

"good!"

He patted the barrel of the mountain cannon hard.

good. Finally another artillery battalion was obtained. Although not satisfied with the editor.

Neither the 68th Army nor the 69th Army has field artillery. It's a huge shortcoming. Now it's finally time to make up for it.

However, there is still one piece left. The 69th Army also needs a mountain artillery battalion.

Thinking about it secretly. When will you come out and **** him again?

"Baga!"

"hateful!"

Nishio Shozo was furious when he received the report.

Kenji Doihara was immediately ordered to lead the 14th Division to follow the 5th Division southward.

At the same time, the 26th Division was ordered to rush to Jinan to take over the defense.

Nishio Juzo still attaches great importance to the safety of Jinan. It knew there were national troops lurking nearby.

It cannot give the Chinese a chance to sneak attack Jinan.

"Grass…"

Zhang Yong had just returned to Jining.

The map of the Air Force Command showed that a large Japanese army was moving south from the Pingjin area.

Later, I received an enemy report from the Fifth War Zone, saying that the Japanese 26th Division was coming to Jinan by train to take over the defense.

Doihara Kenji will lead the 14th Division and follow the 5th Division southward.

Zhang Yong:…

Made. Cunning Japanese invaders.

Originally trying to use the 69th Army to sneak attack Jinan.

Now it seems that this plan is not feasible. It can only change.

So the 69th Army was secretly ordered to go south to Linyi. Take control of Linyi first.

Once the Japanese invaders enter the encirclement, Linyi will be an important stronghold. It must not be occupied by the Japanese invaders.

At the same time, it was also to prevent the Japanese invaders from landing in Qingdao and then providing reinforcements.

As for Lianyungang, the 184th Division was naturally ordered to take control.

"That should be it..."

Zhang Yong was thoughtful. It doesn't feel quite perfect.

Where can I add more. But I can’t think of it for the moment.
