Ma Zhenguo nodded slightly, frowned and thought about it, then stretched out his hand and pointed to the sand table and asked: "The commander means that he wants to annihilate this group of little devils who attacked from Changchun" Li Guotao smiled and nodded and said: "Yes, this time we will not only annihilate the little devils who attacked from Changchun, but also wipe them all out neatly, make them tremble, and completely knock out their last bit of self-confidence." ”Ma Zhenguo frowned, nodded with a serious face, looked at the sand table in front of him and said: "More than 10,000 Japanese troops, plus more than 20,000 puppet troops, if you want to eat such an enemy in one go, you still need to plan well." ”Li Guotao looked at the sand table and said with a serious face: "Doesn't this little devil want to go south and open up the South Manchurian Railway, then good, let's let them go south." ”Ma Zhenguo frowned and thought for a while and said: "The commander means to lure the enemy deep" "Not bad" Li Guotao nodded and said: "Attract the enemy to the vicinity of Gongzhuling, and then defend Gongzhuling with a force, and then intersperse with a force behind the devils, cut off the retreat of the devils to Changchun, and encircle and annihilate this little devil near Gongzhuling in one fell swoop." ”Ma Zhenguo frowned and said: "But at present, we only have about four divisions of the new Second Division, the new Third Division, the New Fifth Division and the Cavalry Division in Changchun, and the other troops are all local troops in various places, and their combat effectiveness is really limited.In this way, the troops we can mobilize are not too many, and there are almost 20,000 Japanese troops in Changchun City, and we cannot afford to be unguarded, so that the troops we can draw are even more limited. ”Li Guotao looked at the sand table and said with a serious face: "I have considered this, use the new second division to defend the front, let the new third division draw a brigade of troops, and cooperate with the cavalry division to penetrate the rear of the Japanese army from both flanks to cut off the devil's retreat, which is enough to encircle and annihilate this little devil in one fell swoop."
As for the rest of the troops of the new Fifth Division and the new Third Division, cooperating with the local troops to monitor the little devils in Changchun City, as I just said, at this time, Yamada Otozo had already been frightened by our beating, and monitored the enemy in Changchun with the strength of one and a half divisions, and it was expected that this old devil would not dare to go out of the city. ”Ma Zhenguo nodded at first, then shook his head and said: "But with one and a half divisions plus cavalry divisions, if you want to encircle and annihilate more than 30,000 enemies, I'm afraid it's not so easy, so let's calculate it this way, our strength is only about 40,000, and it will be difficult to encircle and annihilate 30,000 with 40,000." ”Li Guotao said confidently: "If these more than 30,000 enemies are all little devils, let alone that we dispatch 40,000 people, even if we dispatch 80,000 people, if we want to encircle and annihilate them in one fell swoop, the chance of victory is only half."
But don't forget, these 30,000 enemy troops only have more than 10,000 Japanese troops, and more than 20,000 people are puppet troops, and the combat effectiveness of these puppet armies cannot be compared with the Japanese army at all.Moreover, even if there are more than 10,000 Japanese troops, they are just some remnants of the 1st Division and the 8th Division, and these little devils still have some combat strength left, and it is enough to encircle and annihilate this Japanese puppet army with an army of 40,000. ”Ma Zhenguo frowned and thought about it, and finally nodded and said, "In this way, you can give it a try." ”"In that case, then it is decided.Immediately ordered the newly formed 2nd Division in the south of the city to gradually retreat to the south, retreat to Gongzhuling, and defend it to block the attack of the Japanese puppet army.The cavalry division and the new 6th Brigade of the 3rd Division were ordered to prepare for battle. ”Li Guotao ordered with a serious face."
Yes" Ma Zhenguo responded respectfully, turned around and ran to convey the order.At this time in the south of Changchun City, the fierce battle has lasted for most of the day, the Japanese 1st Division and the 8th Division with the cooperation of more than 20,000 puppet troops, launched a fierce attack on our positions outside the city, in order to shrink the defense line, the Eighth Route Army was forced to give up two lines of defense in a row, the Japanese army was able to highlight twenty miles outside the city, here the devil met the third line of defense of the Eighth Route Army, the little devil hit the south wall as if he hit his head on the south wall, and immediately hit his head and broke the blood, several attacks were successfully defeated by the Eighth Route Army, and suffered heavy losses.In a forward observation post, Li Yongfu, commander of the newly formed Second Division, held a telescope to observe the situation on the entire battlefield, and couldn't help but show a smile at the corner of his mouth, put down the telescope and said proudly: "Husband, courage."
One blow of strength, then decline, three and exhaustion.Now the little devil has repeatedly failed to overcome and lost all his sharpness, but on the other hand, our army is becoming more and more courageous, if a counteroffensive is launched at this time, it will definitely be able to completely repel the little devil. ”A staff officer next to him said with a smile: "The division commander has made great progress recently, and he has learned to quote scriptures" "Haha," Li Yongfu said with a smug face.At this moment, a staff officer hurriedly walked in, stood up and saluted, and said loudly: "Report to the division commander, the headquarters has an urgent telegram." ”As he spoke, he respectfully handed over a telegram in his hand.Li Yongfu hurriedly stretched out his hand to take the telegram, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help frowning.At this time, a staff officer next to him asked: "Division commander, does the commander have any new instructions?"
Li Yongfu did not answer, turned around and picked up the phone hanging on the pillar next to him, and after connecting it, he said loudly: "Give me the headquarters, feed the headquarters, I am Li Yongfu, I want to talk to the commander on the phone." ”After a while, Li Guotao's voice came from the other end of the phone, "I'm Li Guotao, Lao Li, you should have received the latest order" Li Yongfu said with an anxious face: "Commander, I called you just for this latest order."
Commander, you don't know the current situation, although the little devil broke through the two lines of defense of our army, but we blocked the third line of defense, the Japanese army attacked for three or four hours, suffered heavy losses, and lost all the spirit.I'm planning to launch a counter-offensive against the little devils, and as long as I counterattack, I will definitely be able to completely defeat the little devils. ”Li Guotao patiently listened to Li Yongfu's words, and then replied with a serious face: "Lao Li, you listen to me, what I want this time is not to repel the little devil, nor to defeat, but to completely annihilate Lao Tzu to completely annihilate this Japanese puppet army out of the city, do you understand, I think the telegram sent to you by Zhenguo has been written very clearly, immediately carry out the order, if you let go of the little devil, I will only ask." ”"I" Li Yongfu wanted to say something, but he quickly understood what Li Guotao meant, and his gloomy old face immediately smiled, and he grinned and said: "It's me who understands, please rest assured, commander, we will never let go of a little devil." ”aa2705221:
