Chapter 626: Besieging the city to help
Lao Yingjing felt that being besieged by the Zhonggj team in Jining City was just a small matter, and it would be possible to quickly fight these hateful Chinese people like the last time.
You don’t have to bother Lieutenant General Isotani for such a small matter.
Therefore, he did not telegraph the news of Jining City being besieged in Zoucheng at all.
After dispatching the troops, Old Sakurai continued to sit down and listen to the opera, as if this had never happened, and everything was the same.
In the north of Jining, on the side of the road leading to Yanzhou, there is a small village called Sanyizhuang (made up, there is a place called Sanyi Temple). Dai Xu led two groups to land from the Xuzhuang generation at the northernmost end of Nanyang Lake, lightly packed, quickly turned around, bypassed Jining City, and arrived at this place at around twelve o'clock noon.
The original plan was to land at Zhongzi Temple together, but if two troops landed at the landing ground near Zhongzi Temple were too late, the time would be slow.
In addition, it was already dawn at that time, so many ships gathered together, so it was easy to be discovered by Japanese reconnaissance planes.
So Dai Xu and Zhang Zhongling discussed and left a regiment assigned to the 39th Brigade, and the other troops followed him north along the river bank, looking for a suitable landing place.
It was a coincidence that he found a landing place, and the troops quickly got ashore and quickly moved towards the preset target direction.
In the simple command shed, the orderly soldiers were just putting the stove rack for boiling water and were about to burn a pot of boiling water. Dai Xu walked in from outside with his arm in his arms.
Several staff officers were busy hanging maps and building radio stations, and Didi's call came out quickly.
"Person Dai, take a sip of water!"
"Thank you." Dai Xu took the cup from the combat staff, took a big sip, and rushed over and sweated all over his body.
"This ghost weather is so stuffy. I think it will rain at night!" Acting Chief of Staff Feng Sishuo muttered and walked in from outside, "Attendant Dai's brigade seat?"
"Old Feng, aren't you slow? You've made the brigade department look so well so quickly."
"I'm just one step ahead of you, it's all the credit of the engineering battalion, I'm enjoying the fruits." Feng Sishuo smiled.
"Have you contacted the division headquarters and brother troops?"
"The division headquarters will probably stay in Nanyang Town for a day or two, and then decide where to go after we finish the fight. However, according to the Chief of Staff, the possibility of Jining will be greater!" Feng Sishuo said.
"Jining, does the Master really want to set up a camp in Luxi?" Dai Xu was a little surprised.
"I don't know, the teacher has always been unfathomable, and we don't know what he is thinking." Feng Sishuo smiled, and he couldn't answer this question.
"Okay, let's talk about it briefly?"
"Let's wait for Lao Zhou and the others to come over and say it together. I will say it again then." Feng Sishuo said.
"Okay!"
About seven or eight minutes later, Zhou Linjun, the commander of the 401st Regiment, and seven or eight battalion-level cadres, came to the brigade headquarters one after another, all of whom came to attend the pre-war meeting.
"All people have come, I won't name it. Let me explain the situation first. The first regiment of the 37th Brigade has launched an attack on Jining City. It has occupied the South Gate and is thinking of advancing within the city. The subsequent troops have arrived one after another and have surrounded Jining City. It is only a matter of time to capture Jining City. In order to lure the Japanese troops from Yanzhou, Jiaxiang and other places to rescue Jining, the general attack time of the 37th Brigade will be postponed until dark or will be launched tomorrow. Our mission is to ambush the Japanese reinforcements from Yanzhou!"
"According to our estimates, even if the Japanese army in Yanzhou sent reinforcements to support Jining, the strength would not exceed one thousand. Our two regiments, 4,000 people, are you confident?" Dai Xu asked with a smile.
"have!"
"Very good, Acting Chief of Staff Feng, you continue!"
"Okay, according to the latest information we have obtained, the Japanese army in Jining has asked for help from the Japanese army in Yanzhou, and news has also been heard from Yanzhou that the Japanese army in Yanzhou commander Sakurai has ruled out a support force from the city, with a number of about 600 people, and is heading towards Jining!"
"Depending on the speed of their march, they should arrive at us soon." Feng Sishuo continued, "I have ruled out a reconnaissance platoon to search and investigate along the highway. Once the Japanese army is found, report it immediately."
"It's not difficult for us to fight this battle with almost 7 to 1!"
"right!"
"Don't have any thoughts on underestimating the enemy. From the current point of view, the Japanese army still does not know our whereabouts, or cannot explain our situation, and is careless, but we need to eat the enemy in one bite as fast as possible, be fast and ruthless!" Xie Chengrui stretched out his right hand, turned his palm inward, and made a quick fist clenching action.
"clear!"
"The Japanese army will definitely choose the fastest road when they come to reinforce. They have cars and must take the main road. It is particularly important to choose the location of the ambush..."
"Did you see that there is a fork here, Sun Dahu, the commander of the first battalion!"
"have!"
"You lead the first battalion and quickly occupy the hillside on the north side. Don't show your head. Wait for the Japanese army to pass. After the battle begins, quickly cut off the Japanese army's retreat!"
"yes!"
"The Second Battalion of the First Regiment, set up a blocking position at this location to form a cross-fire point, and put all the six heavy machine guns of your battalion on me, and the mortar position is here..."
"clear!"
“…”
"Second Group..."
"After the Japanese army entered the ambush circle, the infantry artillery battalion and the heavy mortar battalion first bombarded the head and tail of the Japanese army, and then extended to the middle. Don't be stingy with shells. Give you ten minutes to shoot as much as the shells can be shot!" Xie Chengrui is a junior college in artillery and a top student who returned from studying in France.
He was very proficient in artillery tactics. Leng Feng asked him back with the goal of forming a professional artillery unit.
Xie Chengrui is the future helm of this artillery.
"Yes!" The two battalion commanders of the Infantry Battalion and the Heavy Mortar Battalion stood up and saluted loudly.
"Okay, prepare to go. I don't care about lunch here. Everyone will take two buns to make their stomachs." Xie Chengrui waved his hand and said, "Dissolve!"
Luojia Mountain, Wuhan, Jiang Gongguan.
"Sir, this is the specific offensive steps in the second phase of the 'Aprils' Day' plan that Leng Guoguang sent. Do you have a look?" Lin Wei respectfully presented a top-secret telegram to the veteran.
"Does he want to recover Shandong and Jinan in one fell swoop?" Old Jiang smiled slightly. Good news from Taierzhuang. More than 20,000 Japanese Segu Detachment was surrounded by more than 100,000 elite troops in Zaozhuang, Taierzhuang, and within a region of more than ten square kilometers, and it has begun to encircle. If the Segu Detachment can see the opportunity quickly and break through immediately, there may be a glimmer of vitality. If time is delayed, and attempt to resist stubbornly, it will only be annihilated.
Such good news made the smile on Jiang's face excited and never disappeared since he received the news. If this battle is done well, it will definitely be a huge victory.
This is also the most powerful blow to the pessimist who said that China and Japan would lose in the war.
In the Battle of Taierzhuang, Li Delin commanded well, and the New 38th Brigade fought better. Luo Yufeng's New 38th Brigade and then Tang Keqin's 20th Corps. These two teams are both Huangpu's direct descendants and have shown the prestige of the zy army. Anyone else said that Chiang Kai-shek used the name of anti-Japanese war to eliminate miscellaneous cards?
Regarding the second phase of "Aprils' Day", Lin Wei didn't know much details, because the implementation of the "Stage 2" was based on the expected results of the combat in the first phase, and Leng Feng had considerable autonomy.
This is also one of the conditions Leng Feng asked Lao Chiang for. He had the final say on how to fight the second stage. The Fifth War Zone and the Wuhan Military Commission will have the right to know and supervise.
In other words, unless the plan formulated by Leng Feng is simply unrealistic and cannot be completed, neither the Fifth War Zone nor the Wuhan Military Commission shall object.
However, all actions must be reported in advance and explanations are made. The Fifth War Zone and the Military Commission (Lao Chiang Kai-shek) shall not interfere with their front-line command.
The request was a bit too much, but Lao Jiang still pinched his nose and recognized it. Leng Feng was going to fight the Japanese. In addition to providing logistics supplies, he did not need additional support. Whether it was a loss-making or Leng Feng defeated the Japanese, it would be beneficial to him.
Leng Feng is just a division. No matter how powerful it is, can he still make a big mistake?
"I don't know, he has now led his troops north, with his targets being Jining and Yanzhou. Judging from his suggestion to establish the Western Shandong Corps, he seems to be very interested in the Western Shandong region?"
"Luxi, no, no, Luxi is not a place to stay for a long time. Although Leng Guoguang is young, his vision is not so short-sighted. He should have another purpose!" Old Jiang shook his head.
"Does he want a place in Shandong?"
"That's just a Japanese fight to the death. The Japanese are willing to hand over Shandong to him. Wei Wen, your eyes are still too narrow-minded. However, I feel that his target is not in Jinan. Jinan is a military center, and the Japanese army must be heavily guarded. Therefore, it is unrealistic to attack Jinan."
"Then it's strange, what does he want to do?"
"Do you want to annex Sun Yinting's Third Army?"
Chiang shook his head. These local factions have been deeply rooted in their thoughts and are very concerned about military power. If you want to seize his military power, it doesn’t mean killing him. Isn’t Han Xiangfang just because he was too selfish and ignored the overall situation of national danger and was sent to the guillotine?
However, Old Jiang couldn't help but become alert. If this is true, Leng Feng's wings would be full. This is not a bad thing, but it is not a good thing.
"How is the investigation on Yunnong?"
"It's still under investigation, and there's no doubt at the moment. In addition, at the Hankou Security Command, the witch recommended a group of people to go to the Military Control Commission training class, with a number of about forty people."
"The witches came from the Military Control Commission and selected talents to the Military Control Commission training class. This is normal. However, women are easily blinded by love. We should remind Yunong to cultivate these people, but they should also control and win over them!" said Lao Jiang.
"Wei Wen understands, he will definitely tell Yunnong."
At 1:34 pm, the Japanese troops from Jining, who were rushing to assist in Yanzhou, appeared on the road northwest of Sanyi Village. It was winding, and there were two 95 tanks and four motorcycles leading the way. There were about six cars, infantry, two columns behind it, more than two hundred meters long. The baggage team was walking at the end, with about twenty mules and horse carriages.
The yellowish and colored military uniforms and canvas are covered with steel helmets, and the bayonets of the 38th rifle are gloomy. Even in the garrison, the Japanese army's equipment and quality are far superior to most domestic troops.
The Japanese army carried two infantry artillery and at least six heavy mortars, with more than twenty light and heavy machine guns, as well as grenade launchers and light mortars. If they really fight, the general team is not the opponent.
The Japanese reinforcements were not slow and were already close to the Jining City. The leader of the team ordered the troops to slow down, and at the same time they were vigilant and sent out reconnaissance vanguards.
If the attack on Jining is only a general guerrilla or GMD army, then there is no need to worry about anything, but if not, then you have to be careful.
Inoue is a cautious and rigid person. All his actions are strictly in accordance with the marching "Infantry Practice" formulated by the Army.
"The Japanese commander who led the team is quite well-organized, but he met not ordinary people today!" In the telescope, Dai Xu clearly saw Major Inoue riding a horse in front of the team.
Inoue looks only in his thirties, he glances at Rendan's beard, straight waist, expressionless face, serious muscles, and a very standard image of a Japanese intermediate officer.
"Associate Brigade, the Japanese reconnaissance vanguard was released and did not find us."
"I know, I guess in more than ten minutes, all the Japanese troops will enter the ambush circle and pass my orders, placing the sound of cannons as a slogan!" Dai Xu ordered seriously.
