Chapter 17 The Thunder (Part 2)

On May 5, 10:40 pm. The front command of the Chinese army in Taierzhuang.

"Haoran, aren't you really worried?" After playing Go with Cheng Jiaji for an hour, Xie Hong finally couldn't hold back his anger. After saying this, he stared straight at Cheng Jiaji, who was sitting cross-legged across from him with a leisurely look on his face. Obviously, Commander Xie wanted to ask this sentence for a while.

Xie Hong, the commander-in-chief, now has many troops under his name. At this time, the troops commanded by the front enemy command were varied. There were about 3,000 independent brigades; there were about 500 remnants of the 31st Division; there were 8,900 temporary independent regiments composed of non-combatants and lightly wounded men from the Second Group; there were about 1,100 independent regiments and second battalions of the Xuzhou Garrison Command; there were 500 battalions of the theater gendarmerie that Xu Chanzu reported to the commander to participate in the war; there were more than 100 reinforced companies brought to the front line by Commander-in-chief. The commander-in-chief led by Lin Zong, and the various units of various establishments were more than 6,000.

But Xie Hong knew in his heart that there was really some combat power among these troops, the 3000 people from the Independent 100 Brigade. The 31st Division, a former elite army of the Northwest Army, was indeed a powerful brigade. Otherwise, it would be impossible to fight the Japanese army in Taierzhuang for more than ten days and still be able to maintain a corner of Taierzhuang. However, the remaining troops of the 31st Division are too few and cannot form the group's combat power. Other troops are not combat troops, and they have little combat power.

Although the establishment of the 100 Independent Brigade was very short, firstly, there were a large number of veterans in the army who had been through battle as backbones. Secondly, today, during the day, he fought with the Japanese army head-on and trained his team for a day, and his combat power was the strongest in these troops.

In addition, the legendary playboy Cheng Jiaji's performance on the battlefield was very different from the rumors. Not to mention anything else, the plan proposed this afternoon was enough to make Xie Hong look at him with admiration.

Not to mention, the night attack that will begin in twenty minutes was planned by Cheng Jiaji. In Xie Hong's opinion, the military talent of this young man is enough to make him feel that the Yangtze River is pushing the previous waves. (Shame! The night attack is something that happened in history, and Cheng Jiaji is just a copy. As for the attack plan. If Cheng Jiaji had not read a lot of articles about the Battle of Taierzhuang on the Internet, he was deeply aware of the fact that the Japanese army's reserve forces had exhausted at that time, and he would not dare to take this risk if he killed Cheng Jiaji.)

So before the war, Cheng Jiaji invited him as the commander-in-chief to play chess. Although Xie Hong was a little confused, he still followed suit happily.

Xie Hong was puzzled when he saw that the battle was about to come, Cheng Jiaji was still in his heart and had fun playing chess pieces and falling lanterns with him, so he was very puzzled.

"Brother Junchen, this battle is a night attack. Our army has a total of 5,000 people (except for the remnants of the 31st Division and the gendarmerie battalion, other troops will participate in the night attack that will start twenty minutes later.) Victory is not empty talk, so why should you and me be too nervous!"

"Haoran, the opponent is a Japanese corps! And reinforcements came up at dusk." No wonder Xie Hong was uneasy. At that time, the battle of a Japanese corps was generally much stronger than a full-member division of the Chinese army. The combat power of the existing Chinese army in Zhuangzi was not as good as a full-member division. (The division here refers to a second brigade and fourth regiment system of local troops, which generally had six or seven thousand people. A full-member regiment of the Japanese army had more than three thousand people.)

To be honest, Xie Hong did not agree with this night attack. The reason why he reported the huge and grand combat plan with Cheng Jiaji earlier was that it was not easy to wipe out the face of Cheng Jiaji, a partner. On the other hand, it was also expected that the chief of the war zone would not approve this fantastic plan, and he would just do a favor.

Who would have thought that the commander of the war zone actually approved Cheng Aiji's plan in principle. Once the night attack was successful tonight, he agreed to Cheng Jiaji that would take the initiative to attack the Japanese army during the day tomorrow, which was crazy and "great" plan in Xie Hong's opinion.

The war zone commander even prepared two regiments of reinforcements for Cheng Jiaji. This made it even more impossible for Xie Hong to stop Cheng Jiaji's risky behavior. However, Xie Hong was still very worried about the success or failure of the night attack tonight. Although he was just the nominal commander-in-chief in Taier Village, once Cheng Jiaji failed in his risky operation, he, the commander-in-chief of the front enemy, would be very guilty.

"Brother Junchen, don't listen to the Japanese bragging. A regiment has been fighting hard for so many days, and we have beaten up again during the day. At this moment, the remaining 1,200 guns in the 40th regiment can be held, and the Japanese should laugh. Just now, you and I saw in the telescope that there were only 3,400 reinforcements from the Japanese army. I guess the Japanese in the village were no more than 1,600. Our army was three times more than the enemy and attacked at night. There would be no surprises in this battle. Don't worry, wait to receive the merits." Cheng Jiaji tried hard to comfort Commander Xie, so that the other party would not be too worried about the victory or defeat of this battle.

In fact, Cheng Jiaji's confidence in this night attack was not as strong as he said. As far as he knew, it was not new to the Japanese army that defeated two or three times the Chinese army in the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japan. Moreover, this time the Chinese army only had six or seven hours overnight. If the Japanese planes and reinforcements could not be driven out of the country within this time, and all the efforts would be wasted. Cheng Jiaji was not sure about this matter.

But if there were no night attacks, the Chinese army would be even further away from victory.

During the daytime war, the Chinese army certainly had some advantage. Cheng Jiaji knew in his heart that the reason for the daytime was that during the day was that the stupid pig Nagano Yoshio had not known what spirit he had, and actually launched a full-scale attack when there was insufficient ammunition. On the other hand, it was because the Chinese army had advantageous advantages in defensive operations.

If the Japanese army had sufficient ammunition, with the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army that Cheng Jiaji saw during the day, it would be hard to say whether he could defend the positions in the village without adjusting the two battalions outside the village to participate in the war.

If it is dragged until tomorrow, it will be invincible to fight against the Japanese army's 1,6700 troops on the ground with 6,000 Chinese troops. However, the Japanese air force is not a vegetarian. There are already 6,000 Chinese troops in the village, just such a small piece of land. Whether it is the heavy artillery of the Japanese army or the bomber, as long as you come to the village, the Chinese army in the village will have a lot of fun.

Instead of letting the troops blow up the Japanese planes and cannons during the day, it is better to fight at night! At least Cheng Jiaji still has more than 80% chance of winning when attacking the Japanese army in front of him at night and driving him out of the village.

Now the arrow is on the string and has to be fired.

As for how Cheng Jiaji would be in the mood to play chess with Xie Hong in the command of the front enemy, it is actually very simple to put it bluntly, he had no place to go.

Cheng Jiaji was still very self-aware. He knew in his heart that he was not as brave as Wen Songyuan, who was bold in fighting, he was not as good as Gao Shiying, who was delicate in his mind, and he was not as good as Yu Juncai, a top student in the Central Military Academy. What he relied on was nothing more than a little blood and a little "foresight" as seen in history books. It was worthless. Even if he went to the front line to participate in the war in person, it was nothing more than cheering the troops. However, the commander and commander of this work theater had already done it. The white silver dollars were much more useful for the soldiers under his command than any passionate pre-war mobilization.

As for how to improve the ideological awareness of his troops, Cheng Jiaji thought it would be better to talk about it after the battle. After thinking about it, Cheng Jiaji felt that it was most suitable for him to stay in the front command center, and he could promptly understand all the battle situation through the phone number of the front command center. Of course, the most important thing is that if he stayed in the front command center, he could free up the guard company to participate in the attack. (You know, General Xie is surrounded by him, who is responsible for Xie Hong's safety. Since he is in the front command center, Cheng Jiaji, the chief of staff of the newly appointed front command center, is naturally responsible for the safety of Cheng Jiaji, the chief of staff who just appointed front command center.)

If it weren't for the last time when he was in Dawangzhuang, the situation would have been too critical and he had to come forward to stabilize it. Cheng Jiaji would not have been so brave and fearless when he was on the battlefield for the first time in his life.

You should know that young people in the new era generally cherish their lives. Now they have subordinates to do it, so it would be better to let him not be in front of the enemy. Moreover, in Cheng Jiaji's heart, this night attack is just a prelude. The highlight is the attack tomorrow. It is not too late to inspire the three armies if you personally take the arrows and stones!

Bucheng Jiaji is still very confident in his arrangement. Wen Songyuan's 200th Regiment and the tentative regiment of the Second Army formed the left-wing army, with a total of 2,100 people. Yu Juncai's 199th Regiment and Xuzhou Guard Commander's Independent Regiment formed the right-wing army, with about 2,000 people. Gao Shiqi's reserve team also had eight or nine hundred people.

Cheng Jiaji believed that it would be difficult for the Japanese army to stop the night attacks of the three armies he arranged.
