Chapter 848 The devil is too polite (two chapters in one!)
After sending troops to order, the commander paced back and forth in the war room with his hands on his back.
The National Salvation Army has the strength to take down Yangquan in a short period of time, which shows that all the previous judgments of the National Salvation Army were wrong. In order to avoid greater losses, the National Salvation Army must re-formulate a new combat plan.
But this is not as simple as imagined.
If a single move moves the whole body, the military headquarters’ combat plan for the national rescue army will change, and tens of thousands of troops in Shanxi will be affected. If a large number of troops are involved, it will definitely not be completed in a short period of time.
But the National Rescue Army would not give itself so long.
Analysis of telegrams for help from the Jinzhong garrison: The Jinzhong garrison suffered heavy losses in the street fighting in the city and could be attacked inside and outside the national rescue army at any time, resulting in the Jinzhong county three times being captured by the National Rescue Army.
If Jinzhong is lost, the Shanxi garrison will not only lose a large number of troops, but also lose a strategic location, exposing Taiyuan completely under the military peak of the National Salvation Army, and the Shanxi garrison will be passive.
Before he knew it, the Chief of Staff had frowned into a big Sichuan character, staring at the sand table and thinking about ways to break the deadlock.
"Sir, the troops to reinforce Jinzhong have been arranged!" The Chief of Staff, who had left less than ten minutes later, reported to the Chief of Staff as soon as he returned to the war room.
"How many troops have been in the past!" The commander immediately withdrew his gaze from the sand table and asked at the Chief of Staff.
"One or two infantry brigades can set out in twenty minutes, and two infantry brigades can set out in one hour!" The chief of staff reported while gasping for breath, obviously he was very tired just now to arrange these troops.
After hearing this, the commander let out a long sigh and replied with satisfaction: "With these four infantry brigades, the siege troops arranged by the National Salvation Army outside the city will also be attacked by us. If the reinforcements have a way to knock out the National Salvation Army's artillery units, then we will win this battle!"
Faced with this good news, the commander's frown finally relaxed, as if he had seen the National Salvation Army defeat on the battlefield where he attacked Jinzhong.
At this moment, the communications officer suddenly ran towards him with a serious look on his face: "Sir, our radio contact with the Jinzhong garrison has been interrupted!"
"Nani?" The commander was so scared by the news that he almost jumped up from the ground. The good mood on his face disappeared instantly. He stared at the communications officer and asked with disbelief.
"How is this possible? Didn't they just say that they could hold on for a long time? How could they lose after just one or two decades? Can anyone tell me the reason?"
Seeing that all the subordinates were frowning and not talking, the commander could only analyze his own.
"Although the Jinzhong garrison was attacked inside and outside the National Salvation Army, they suffered heavy losses. But after all, they still had four or five thousand people. Even four or five thousand pigs could not be killed by the National Salvation Army in such a short time, let alone four or five thousand fully armed soldiers. It must be a problem in some link that caused the sudden interruption of the radio contact between us and the National Salvation Army!"
This is the only explanation that the commander could think of. After saying that, he ordered the communications officer: "Continue to contact the Jinzhong garrison and make uninterrupted calls. In addition to the corps command, the Jinzhong garrison equipped the radio station, several infantry brigades were also equipped with radio stations. Although the power was not high, Jinzhong was very close to Taiyuan. As long as their radio station was still good, the military headquarters could contact them."
The communications consultant understood the gods: "Hayi, I will arrange for someone to contact other radio stations in Jinzhong City now!"
The commander completely did not believe that something happened to the Jinzhong garrison, but the interruption of radio contact still brought him a lot of pressure. He felt that the situation in Jinzhong was worse than he had imagined.
As soon as the communications officer left, he looked at the chief of staff's order: "Immediately notify us to reinforce the troops in Jinzhong County, and their marching speed will be accelerated!"
"I feel that the garrison of Jinzhong should not last long. If we go too late and Jinzhong is captured by the National Savior Army, they will not only not be able to save the county town of Jinzhong, but they will also be dragged on the battlefield by the National Savior Army, so our losses will be great!"
There are only a few reasons for the interruption of radio contact.
Either the command center is attacked and the radio is destroyed. Or the radio is inadvertent and cannot be used.
If it is the second type, the Jinzhong garrison will definitely find a way to use other radio stations to contact the military headquarters, without interrupting the radio contact between the two sides for so long.
Therefore, 80% of the Jinzhong garrison command has been attacked by the National Salvation Army.
Their telegram to the military headquarters had long said that the National Salvation Army sent one or two thousand troops to Jinzhong County through the tunnel, and the reserve team left the Jinzhong garrison in the city was seriously injured and injured.
If the National Salvation Army in the city continues to work hard and stares at the command center, at least 80% of them will be sure to destroy the command center.
If my judgment is true and the Jinzhong garrison command is destroyed, the bad impact of this battle will not only be as simple as radio interruption, but also the chaos of the Jinzhong garrison losing command and losing its head.
If a complete command system can make the Jinzhong garrison persist for more than five hours. Once the Jinzhong garrison falls into chaos because of the lack of a leader, the time they can still hold on will be reduced by at least half.
This means that reinforcements must take a shorter time to reach Jinzhong, otherwise the Shanxi garrison will undoubtedly be defeated.
With this idea, the Chief of Staff showed an expression of agreement after hearing the commander's order: "Go to give them orders now!"
"The reinforcements marching urgently to reinforce the battlefield. Even if they run away and get rid of their legs, they will have to kill outside Jinzhong City two hours in advance!"
The commander thought for a while and added: "Add another sentence to the order: As long as the troops reach the outside of Jinzhong City two hours in advance, regardless of whether Jinzhong is saved or not, the military headquarters will reward each soldier with ten dollars!"
The chief of staff looked surprised, but unexpectedly, the commander used the trick of rewarding the troops for Jinzhong County.
This kind of trick has been used in the Imperial Army before. In the eyes of the military headquarters, the Imperial Army has strong combat effectiveness and strict military discipline. With the order of the military headquarters, even if there is a sea of swords and fire in front of it, the troops will rush forward without hesitation. There is no need to use the tricks against the Imperial Army on the Imperial Army.
The commander did not do this in his heart, but the county town of Jinzhong is too important, and the Shanxi garrison must not be lost again.
Facing the Chief of Staff's surprise gaze, he explained: "This reinforcement is extraordinary. The reinforcements have tried their best to march all the way to Jinzhong. If they want them to reach Jinzhong in advance, they must stimulate their potential to achieve it."
Marines are different from fighting. It is difficult to stimulate their potential by relying solely on military orders. Only by rewarding the troops participating in the war will they run forward desperately and reach Jinzhong in advance.”
In Jinzhong City, the continued exchange of fire continues.
The reserve team's garrison is no exception. A company of the National Salvation Army is launching a final attack on the war room.
"Make a machine gun cover, squad 1 rushed up and exploded with a grenade!" The company commander of the Second Company of the Mobile Battalion held the box cannon and ordered anger.
The Japanese corps captain hid in the house in front. They realized that they could not escape, so they worked very hard during the war.
The National Salvation Army launched two assaults but failed to take them down, and they also lost nearly a squad of soldiers.
Their bodies fell in the yard, and the company commander became more and more annoyed as he looked at them. He did not expect that so many troops would be lost at the last moment of the battle.
After re-adjusting the offensive troops, he decided to rush again!
"Dadadada...Dadadongdong..." The two heavy machine guns seized by the Japanese opened fire together with the light machine guns equipped by the National Salvation Army. The bullets intertwined each other enveloped the house like it was raining.
Most of the bullets penetrated the window paper and flew into the house. A small number of bullets hit the wall. The bullets were deeply embedded in the brick wall, leaving dense bullet holes.
Because the Japanese hid behind the brick wall, although the National Salvation Army fired a strong cover, it was difficult to hurt the Japanese in the room.
Seven or eight soldiers took the opportunity to touch the house, but were soon discovered by the Japanese, and a large number of gunfire sounded in the quiet house in an instant.
The light and heavy machine gun provided by the National Salvation Army to cover the firepower was like the hungry wolf who smelled the bloody smell. He immediately adjusted the shooting target and stared at the Japanese firepower point that had just been exposed to fight back.
Many Japanese killed because of this, but the squad that had just launched the attack also suffered more than half of the casualties under the Japanese's desperate attack. Several soldiers who were still alive had to retreat.
"Bastard!" The company commander punched the broken wall in front of him, cursing with hatred while playing with his teeth.
Suddenly, a window in the house where the Japanese were located fell from the window frame. In order to prevent grenades from flying in, a large hole appeared in the house where doors and windows were closed.
It is difficult for subordinates to throw grenades into such a small hole, but it will be easier just by expanding the hole three or four times.
The company commander, like he discovered a new world, immediately stretched his frown and pointed to the hole that suddenly appeared in the window, and ordered anxiously: "The light and heavy machine gun concentrated fire to shoot the window frames and knocked out all the windows."
"Old Wang, go and pull the best soldiers in our row to drop bombs over. I want to throw grenades into the room through the window hole!"
As soon as nearly ten light and heavy machine guns were fired, the Japanese corps captain realized the purpose of the National Salvation Army.
But he had few troops in his hands, and his limited firepower was no match for the National Salvation Army. He had almost no way to block the hole through counterattacks. He could only hide behind the brick wall and pray that the window would not be shot down by bullets.
"Clang..." Two collisions sounded not far away. Two windows with hundreds of bullets fell to the ground one after another. Three grenades with white smoke also flew into the house through the window hole at this moment.
The captain of the regiment lie down and shouted: "There are grenades, everyone is lying down...boom boom boom..."
A violent explosion sounded quickly in the room, and black smoke gushed out from the window hole. Several Japanese devils were killed and injured because they could not hide in time.
But in front of the powerful grenade, even if the Japanese lie down, it does not mean safety.
The wing captain was lucky. Under the protection of his subordinates, he did not suffer any other damage except that his ears were buzzing by the shock waves.
The explosion was over and just as I was about to get up, the impact of the grenade hitting the ground sounded again.
The team leader had to fall down again.
This time he was not so lucky. A grenade hit his leg and exploded. After the explosion sounded, he didn't even feel the stinging pain, and was directly blown away.
Outside Jinzhong City, listening to the increasingly dense fire exchanges between the city and the city, Zhou Cheng said that he was not in a hurry and that was all fake.
Since the beginning of the attack, I have hardly left the observation port.
But because of his limited vision, he could see very little, so he could only pin his hope of understanding the situation of the war to the battle report sent by the participating troops to the command headquarters.
As long as footsteps sounded at the command department, he would definitely be the first to turn his head and look over.
"Good news, leader!"
There was a sound of footsteps at the command department's mouth. Zhou Cheng, who was looking back quickly, had not seen the correspondent's figure yet. The excited report had already reached his ears.
It was not until this time that the correspondent with a smile on his face ran in. Seeing Zhou Cheng with a puzzled look, he quickly told the good news he brought back: "The Battalion Commander Chen from the Mobile Battalion asked me to report that they had taken down the Japanese wing command and killed the Japanese Colonel Captain. The battle in the city can be ended in at most twenty minutes, and cover the siege troops to kill the city!"
Zhou Cheng's nerves that had been tense for several hours were relieved and he immediately looked at Chen Zhengyu, who was also anxious beside him: "Chief of Staff, we won this battle!"
"Destroy the enemy command center, and the remaining Japanese and puppet troops in Jinzhong will fall into a chaotic situation of no leader. Even if they do not attack them in front and behind, they will only attack them strongly, we will win this battle!"
"Contact the siege troops of the Fourth Route immediately and let them slow down the offensive!"
"We will definitely win this battle, so there is no need to waste troops and fight against the Japanese and puppet troops."
"When the street battle in the city is over, the mobile battalion and the guard battalion will attack from the back of the Japanese on the city. The siege troops will definitely be able to easily kill the city!"
Chen Zhengyu just came back after giving the order. Deng Jinghua, deputy platoon leader of the communications platoon, suddenly ran over to report: "Captain, Chief of Staff, emergency telegram from the reconnaissance company!"
"Taiyuan City has just dispatched two infantry brigades to advance lightly and are marching urgently towards Jinzhong, reminding us to prepare for the battle."
Chen Zhengyu was very happy after hearing this: "Captain, the Japanese are so nice to us. I am worried that the cavalry troops will not have combat missions, so they will immediately send a piece of fat meat."
"Although the two light-mounted infantry brigades have nearly 2,000 Japanese soldiers, they have very strong combat power. However, they are not equipped with heavy weapons, and they must be very tired after marching for several small matters in a row, and their combat effectiveness and vigilance will be greatly reduced."
"If we assemble all the cavalry troops to launch a counterattack on them halfway, these two thousand Japanese will not only be caught off guard, but will also be killed by the cavalry troops and finally eliminated on the way to reinforce Jinzhong County."
"I hope that you can hand over this glorious task to me, as long as our cavalry troops of the National Salvation Army cooperate with my actions, we will ensure that you can kill the Japanese reinforcements!"
Zhou Cheng did not refuse Chen Zhengyu's request for battle: "Since you are so confident, I will hand over this task to you!"
"I only have one requirement for this battle: a quick battle and a quick decision to end the battle!"
"The sudden dispatch of troops to reinforce Jinzhong by the Japanese Japanese shows that they have realized that Jinzhong is at risk. With the prudent nature of the Japanese army, they will definitely send more than one force to reinforce Jinzhong."
"If there are Japanese behind you, you will immediately go to attack other Japanese after the battle."
"If we can really kill three or four thousand Taiyuan garrisons outside the city, when we completely take Jinzhong and attack in the direction of Taiyuan City, the Japanese Taiyuan garrisons who suffered heavy losses will definitely be shocked.
On the road from Taiyuan to Jinzhong, nearly two thousand Japanese were marching along the highway.
After more than an hour of marching, everyone was exhausted, but when they thought of the ten oceans promised by the commander, the Japanese were like chicken blood, and their blood suddenly became boiling, and their numb feet became stronger than before.
Before 1 a.m., the Japanese completed two-thirds of the journey.
According to the initial action plan, they should have only walked halfway through the journey, which shows that the stimulation the ocean brought to the Japanese was no worse than that of the puppet army.
