Chapter 529 I can lose an army, can you?
74nd Army Military Headquarters.
As the highest combat commander at the front, Yu Huohuo ordered the troops transferred from the Sichuan Army and the two battalions drawn from the 51st Division to evacuate to the rear according to the predetermined plan after the enemy launched the attack, preparing to give the independent regiment time to attack the Tanaka Brigade.
However, he never expected that not long after the enemy attacked, another regiment also quickly launched an attack on the 71st Army. Not only did it delay the 71st Army, but the troops he originally used to pursue his own center directly rushed to attack the 71st Army.
"Damn it! This old guy played dirty tricks on me. He didn't fall for it at all, and he even schemed against us."
Yu Huohuo punched the map and pouted, "I never expected this bastard to be so capable."
Chief of Staff Feng quickly drew a map based on the information sent from the front, and discussed it with several senior staff officers beside him before coming to Yu Huohuo who was cursing there; "The 71st Army is about to be surrounded."
Yu Huohuo hummed and came to the map. Chief of Staff Feng pointed at the map and said, "They have circled back to within five kilometers of the 71st Army and have broken through the interception of one of our brigades."
"Damn it." Yu Huohuo cursed again and pointed to the location of Sanguan Temple: "Let a regiment of the 51st Division take over for me."
Chief of Staff Feng swallowed his saliva. "It can't be supported. All the enemy's tanks and armor are used over there. The 51st Division has no heavy weapons and equipment. Otherwise, modify it..."
"No change." Yu Huo Huo narrowed his eyes and pointed at the map; "Fujiano's attack is so fierce, Tanaka will definitely make some moves. As soon as he moves, Zhou Weiguo will immediately launch an attack."
At this point, he narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly; "Too much debt is not a worry, too many lice are not an itch, I can afford to lose an army, I want to see if his 11th Army can bear the risk of a brigade suffering a heavy blow."
I don't believe that you, Ueda Kanekichi, would dare not send quick reinforcements from the Fujino Detachment after receiving the news. As long as you send reinforcements, this situation will be saved.
"But what about the 71st Army?" Isn't it too high a price to pay to gain victory at the cost of sacrificing an entire army?
"Connect the 71st Army." Yu Huohuo lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his hand and pointed at Adjutant Li next to him.
In a word, if the 71st Army was wiped out, even if the 74th Army needed to be resupplied, he would give priority to replenishing the 71st Army.
Forward observation post.
Zhou Weiguo could already see that the Japanese troops were gathering in large numbers, and their artillery was also advancing. Judging from the coverage area, it could directly cover our entire position.
"It seems that they don't understand that we have arrived here?" Chaoxiang Xiuling said to Zhou Weiguo when she saw that the other party had pushed all the infantry artillery and other equipment to the front line.
Zhou Weiguo handed the binoculars to Zhao Shoutian beside him and hummed, "For concealment, we only brought three tanks this time. In addition, we came at night, so it is understandable that they didn't know."
After saying that, he walked over to the map, took out a cigarette and lit it. "I didn't expect Fujino to do this. I really underestimated him."
Minamizō Akiko came up to Zhou Weiguo and said, "It's okay. As long as we start a fight, Fujino's plan will fail. The 11th Army will never allow the Tanaka Brigade to be defeated by us."
Fang Shengli nodded at the side. "Old Zhou, Mingzi is right. We can afford to lose one or even two armies, but they can't afford it."
Yes, their side can afford the loss, not to mention an army, even two armies can be lost, but the Japanese army, they dare not.
"Xiao Ya." Zhou Weiguo turned his head and called out.
Xiao Ya, who was sitting next to the radio station, turned her head and hummed, "What's wrong?"
"Contact Takeshita Shun and change the plan. Have him quickly blow up all the bridges in the Tanaka Brigade's bunkers and plant all the mines on the road that the Tanaka Brigade will evacuate."
Xiao Ya understood the order, then patted Jinxiu who was sitting there sending a telegram and signaled her to stand up. Then she sat down next to the radio herself and contacted Takeshita Shun who had already gone behind enemy lines early yesterday morning.
"Captain, the plan has changed." The team's radio station was in charge of Shigeru Miyamoto. He handed the translated message to Takeshita Shun who was sitting in the woods to rest.
Takeshita Shun took the message, glanced at it and hummed, "Why did you change the plan?"
Wasn't yesterday's mission for you to attack the rear of the Fujino Detachment? Why did you change it now and go directly to the Tanaka Brigade?
"Captain, is there any trouble with the main force?" In the past, when the squad was fighting at close range, the captain would not intervene, but this time. The captain would contact directly and change the battle plan."
Takeshita Shun took out a cigarette, lit it, and nodded; "If it's not an important situation, he won't contact me."
After signaling Miyamoto to take the map and spread it on the ground, he casually looked at it for a while and then tapped two points on the map; "Start from 11 o'clock and 10 o'clock. Also, immediately shut down the radio station and start the action immediately. That kid will not give us too much time."
11nd Army Military Headquarters.
Ueda Kanekichi put the telegram down with a smile on his face and said, "Fujino did a good job this time. It's worth my repeated reminders of the independent regiment's combat habits."
"General, you are right. General Fujino is indeed an outstanding graduate of the Imperial Army University. He was able to deliberately follow them and quickly change the battle plan to encircle the enemy's 71st Army. I think that in a few hours, the enemy's 71st Army will be completely destroyed under the attack of his two regiments."
Ueda Kanekichi got up and went to the next room. The operations room had already adjusted the status of each department on the sand table based on the latest situation.
His eyes slowly moved towards the direction of the 74th Army.
The 74th Army had been dispersed, the 58th Division was fiercely attacking the Shangjing Regiment that had been pursuing them, and a brigade of the 51st Division was already rescuing the 71st Army.
The situation in Hunan has been broken.
"Tell the air force to move out immediately, bomb the enemy's 74th Army and reserve troops, and do not allow them to reinforce. Also, tell Tanaka to attack the Sichuan Army, and do not allow the Sichuan Army to attack them."
The air force closest to the front line quickly set out after receiving the order, and Ueda Kanekichi rubbed his sore neck after hearing that the air force had been dispatched. "I'm going to take a nap. I think when I wake up, I can work with the headquarters to draft a list of meritorious personnel to report to them."
"Your Excellency the General is right. When you wake up, the battle will be over." The adjutant said with a smile, "I will be here to wait for news of victory for Your Excellency the General."
