Chapter 185: The Decisive Battle of Longling 1943 I


Chongqing in November has long since lost the sweltering heat of September and October, and a trace of coldness makes people feel that winter is quietly approaching, and the so-called bigwigs and famous generals in the operational command room of the Chongqing Supreme Military Commission are frowning at the moment, and the battle situation in Longling has obviously touched the nerves of the commission, and the First Mechanized Army, known as the first main force and armed with all American-made equipment, has fallen into the heavy encirclement of the Japanese army.

Originally, the reinforcements from all walks of life were still assembled in a tense and orderly manner, but this sudden weather change made the First Mechanized Army lose the airdrop supplies that were extremely important to it.

Chiang Kai-shek's face became worse and worse, and the hand on the table began to tremble slightly, Chen Cheng, who was very close to the commission, hesitated, and finally stood up and said slowly: "The Longling War is related to the throat of my external supply, the First Mechanized Army is my elite, represented by the morale and spirit of our army, the ambition of the Japanese wolf is very obvious, and it is vainly trying to hit the morale and morale of our army.

If this is not possible, the strategic deployment of annihilating the 2nd and 53rd divisions of the Japanese army can be abandoned. ” "No, absolutely not" Chiang Kai-shek waved his hand, and then said: "The Japanese invaders are rampant, this time the two divisions are arrogant and bold to penetrate into the hinterland of our western Yunnan, this battle our army must have the determination to succeed and become benevolent, if the newly recovered western Yunnan falls again, to the domestic and international."

For those soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country, I, Jiang, categorically cannot explain it. ” Chen Cheng knew that this was a political necessity greater than a military need.

The campaign was carried out with a reluctant color, and almost all the troops of the central government participated in the battle.

Even if you can defeat the menacing Japanese army, the price you pay is probably unimaginable, is it worth paying such a huge price?

Chen Cheng just wanted to speak again, but Chiang Kai-shek waved his hand decisively and said: "I will never say anything."

Chiang Kai-shek's eyes were like lightning, and he said loudly and passionately: "I order" At the venue, the generals all stood up with a roar.

Facing Chiang Kai-shek at 45 degrees, Chiang Kai-shek hesitated and said: "The telegram orders all units of the reinforcement army to launch a general attack on the Japanese army in front of them before November 15, with the determination to die, for the country and the people, to attack the enemy, and not to abandon an inch of land."

It is like violating military law, and it will not be tolerated. ” Chongqing was determined to teach the Japanese a profound and painful lesson in 1943.

Located in front of Longling, he commanded and supervised the battle, and he didn't want to be ashamed before the arrival of the New Year in 1943.

A glorious victory as a gift for the beginning of the new year.

Lieutenant General Hiroji Imagawa.

At that time, he was the commander of the 2nd Tank Division.

Lieutenant General Saburo Takehara.

At that time, he was the commander of the 49th Division.

Lieutenant General Etsujiro Kono, then commander of the 53rd Division.

Lieutenant General Kanda Masae.

At that time, he was the commander of the 6th Division.

Lieutenant General Kiyozaburo Okazaki.

At that time, he was the commander of the 2nd Division.

Major General Naaki Kawaguchi.

At that time, the commander of the 5th Independent Mixed Brigade and many other generals gathered together.

The Japanese generals were smiling and whispering to each other.

And Kanda Masasang, with a proud face, seems out of place with the current harmonious atmosphere.

After the riverside is sitting down.

Inspected the generals present.

His gaze lingered on Kanda Masang for a moment.

With a hint of joy on the corner of his mouth, he said, "Gentlemen."

The meteorological agency of our army expects it in the coming week.

There is a continuous heavy rainfall in the Longling area.

This kind of weather meant that the 1st Mechanized Corps of the Chinese Army would not be able to receive the vital airdrop supplies and air support.

The success or failure of this battle is in one fell swoop.

Can the front army solve the enemy's worries about clearing the attack on India?

The expeditionary force composed of elite units of the Chinese government army has all been defeated in this battle, please" As he spoke, Kawabe Shozo stood up.

A deep bow When Kanda Masa heard the six words of the First Mechanized Army.

The expression on his face became extremely hideous.

The 200th Mechanized Brigade, the predecessor of this force, was under the same ancient city.

Under the city of Kunming, it has brought him too many indelible unforgettable memories.

As the first formation of a wing, it was annihilated by the Chinese army. and captured the commander of the ground division of the flag unit.

Kanda was ashamed.

Several attempts were made to disembowelment Mingzhi.

However, to everyone's surprise, the base camp did not relieve Kanda of the command of farming.

On the contrary, the Sixth Division was supplemented with a large number of experienced veterans.

Although it was not possible to reorganize the 23rd Capital Infantry Wing.

However, the base camp approved the formation of the 6th Division into a field infantry detachment.

It was used to make up for the lack of strength caused by the destruction of the 23rd Capital Infantry Wing.

Hebian Zhengsan's battle plan is actually very simple, first of all, the 53rd Division sent a strong preset position to block the reinforcements of China for 72 hours, and its main force returned to Longling City in the east, focusing on attacking the east of the city, and the second division was the same, focusing on attacking the west of Longling City, while Hebian Zhengzo personally commanded the 2nd Chariot Division, the 49th Division, and independently mixed into the 24th, 51st, 70th, and brigades, focusing on attacking the south of Longling City, and the fully equipped Sixth Division was equipped with the 72nd Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade to focus on attacking the north of Longling City, and the 10th Heavy Artillery Wing, the 5th Field Artillery Group, as well as the field artillery wings of the divisions and regiments provided fire support.

"Day and night, regardless of casualties, at all costs, we must wipe out the 1st Mechanized Army of China in Longling City, and heavy rain is the order for our attack," Kawabe sanga slammed his katana on the table.

In the basement of the central bank in Longling City, Song Yuhang, who was facing a huge crisis, did not worry at all, but said: "Can you be sure that it is the sixth division of the Japanese army that entered the north of the city to take over the defense?"

An intelligence staff officer on the side nodded seriously and said: "The intelligence department's listening class has confirmed and identified the listening signals, and the new Japanese military code name is indeed its sixth division. ” "Wang Ba Lamb makes Lao Tzu easy to find" Song Yuhang frowned and said seriously: "Chongqing will definitely urge reinforcements to rush to our army in the near future, and the Japanese army also knows that they will definitely take advantage of this rare opportunity to launch a fierce attack with all their might, with the character of Zhengsan Riverside, he may most likely mobilize the main forces of the 53rd Division and the 2nd Division to arrive in Longling to participate in the siege battle, and invest all his strength to form an absolute advantage in a short time and a small space, and give the opponent a devastating blow, which is completely in line with the tactical characteristics of the Japanese army in the past." ” Cui Zhijun, who was standing on the side, frowned tightly and said: "Military seat, will the Japanese invaders take such a risk, this is a dead move, if the Japanese army is deployed like this, once they are put into the attack, Longling will become a dead end, and the two sides will inevitably be involved in a fierce battle to the death, and the Japanese army, which has already occupied the advantage, seems to have more to gain than to lose." ” Song Yuhang casually threw the pencil in his hand on the map and said: "This is also where the Hebian Zhengsan Surprise Army is, he is likely to take advantage of our side's underestimation of its courage and tactics or too conservative, intending to concentrate all its forces to give our army a fatal blow, many Japanese are born to gamble, Hebe Zhengsan is no exception, his people like to win with a small Bo surprise, we must guard against this, if I guess correctly, the main force of the 53rd Division and the 2nd Division of the Japanese Army may have moved towards Longling." ” Xu Tu'an, who had been silent, gasped and worried: "In this way, the Japanese army will form a situation of besieging the city on all sides, and when our reinforcements realize the Japanese army's tricks, I am afraid that it will be too late, and we may not be able to count on this reinforcement, and our army's ammunition supply and other materials are insufficient, especially the 155 mm caliber high-explosive grenades of the heavy artillery brigade, there are less than 300 left."

Song Yuhang, Cui Zhijun, Xu Tu'an, Chang Tianfang, Qi Baiming, Liang Chao and others all understood that all that was waiting for them in front of them was a bloody battle to the death, and the battle situation in Longling had completely lost control.

Breaking through or sticking to Song Yuhang pondered repeatedly, breaking through for the First Mechanized Army requires the determination of a strong man to break his arm, at least put down a few regiments of troops to block the Japanese army, and the main force is to make a surprise advance to the Japanese 53rd Division coming from the direction of Tengchong or the Japanese Second Division from the direction of Xiaosongshan, defeat one of them, and converge with the rest of the 53rd Army in Tengchong or the headquarters of the 11th Group Army in the direction of Songshan.

However, the Supreme Military Commission of Chongqing had specifically instructed Song Yuhang's subordinates not to abandon the military stronghold of Longling, and that the recovered territory could not afford to lose an inch of land, and Song Yuhang did not intend to carry out the forced tragic act of a strong man breaking his arm, and a plan that could be called very crazy was brewing in Song Yuhang's mind.

"My plan is like this," Song Yuhang summoned everyone to the map, and trayed out the incomplete plan.

After listening to Song Yuhang's plan, everyone present had only one thought, that is, the military seat was crazy Song Yuhang looked around at everyone, and said solemnly: "It can be said that this rain has forced us into danger, in fact, I have been thinking before this, this trapped Longling is actually equivalent to self-isolation, passive enemy attack and block, and completely hand over the initiative of the battle to the Japanese army, now we have to regain the lost initiative, with strange soldiers against strange soldiers, the Japanese army has the advantage and is still trying to win with danger, our army must have the determination to die and survive."

As the sole core will of the First Mechanized Army, the decision made by Song Yuhang is equivalent to an order, and the military order is like a mountain, which is non-negotiable, and Cui Zhijun and others are very clear that they need to immediately make this plan of the military seat full, and the loopholes in it must be perfected as soon as possible, at least to make the entire action plan look somewhat reliable and have the possibility of implementation.

Just 30 minutes later, this battle plan, which was probably the shortest planning time in the history of world warfare, was taken out, and after Song Yuhang carefully examined it, he carefully signed the word "agree" at the end of the battle plan.
