In the military headquarters of the newly formed 18th Army stationed in the Jiawang area, Lao Jiang's second son is surrounded by Commander Wen and a group of officers, pointing in front of the sand table in the command headquarters, the second son looks like a talent, wearing the uniform of a major general of the armored corps, and looks very energetic, Commander Wen and his subordinates are studying how to hold the problem of holding the Jiawang area, especially the several large coal mines here in Jiawang, saying that they have to keep anything, this is related to the future strategic supply, but it is not a sloppy thing.
At this moment, an officer's report came from outside the headquarters: "Report to the military seat, there is an urgent enemy situation" When Commander Wen heard this, he hurriedly let the officer in, and the officer outside came in and reported: "Commander, the reconnaissance battalion outside has just learned that a large number of troops have been found in Xie Zhuang north of Jiawang, and they are currently coming in the direction of Jiawang. ” "Ah, so fast, how many of them are there and which unit is it" Commander Wen heard that it was found in Xie Zhuang, and felt that it was a little too sudden, yesterday the air force reconnaissance plane was still reporting that the main force was still in the Linyi area, how could it be found today that the reconnaissance team in Xie Zhuang came to Jia Wang to find out the situation "The number is unknown, the number is unknown, but according to Xie Zhuang's security chief, they just arrived at them this morning, and the number seems to be small."
The reconnaissance officer replied.
When Commander Wen heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said to the officer: "Go to reconnoiter again immediately, bring the radio, and report the situation immediately."
The officer immediately saluted and turned around and rushed out, Commander Wen turned around and said to the officers in the headquarters: "The vanguard has arrived at Xie Zhuang, which is not far from us, while they have not yet gained a foothold, we should quickly attack, encircle and annihilate this forward team in the Xie Zhuang area, and then quickly withdraw to Jia Wang, set up a heavy army at the mouth of the killing tiger between Longmen Mountain and Muzhai Mountain, and cooperate with the armored troops of the second prince to ambush here, ambush the large army that then rushed to rescue the vanguard, what do you think?"
Commander Wen wanted to play a big game, taking advantage of the fat man's foothold in Xie Zhuang was not stable, all of them went out to surround Xie Zhuang, he now has an army of more than 30,000 horses, as well as a regiment of the second son's armored troops, 36 advanced American tanks to help the battle, in the plain area north of Xie Zhuang to encircle and annihilate the fat man's forward force should be more than enough.
As soon as Commander Wen exited, the officers below immediately echoed the voice, and the second prince responded positively: "Commander Wen's plan is very good, our armored troops play a role in the plains, German military experts once said that the best defense is to attack, knock out the striker, and then ambush the reinforcements who came after the dangerous place north of Xie Zhuang, this trick besieges the city and sends reinforcements, just like that, I will be the vanguard of the Eighteenth Army, and Commander Wen will lead the infantry army to follow, let's eat the striker first."
Commander Wen saw that the second prince was also very satisfied with his plan to take the initiative, so he was a little proud, but there were still a few sober-minded officers in the headquarters, including Lao Lu, the chief of staff who was extremely trusted by Commander Wen, and when he heard this, he hurriedly said to Commander Wen: "Military seat, this is absolutely impossible, it is very dangerous." ” When Commander Wen heard Lao Lu's objection, he hurriedly asked him: "What is the danger, is it possible that the more than 30,000 people of our 18th Army plus the tanks of the second son can't defeat the small forward force."
Lao Lu hurriedly analyzed him: "According to the intelligence, there have been traces near Taierzhuang, it seems that this time East China is going to fight Xuzhou, and the gateway of Xuzhou is in Taierzhuang, once Taierzhuang is lost, then Xuzhou will not be guaranteed, there are many of our troops around Xuzhou, once Xuzhou is lost, then we can only evacuate to Lianyungang in the east, In order to be able to attack Taierzhuang without being held back by the 18th Army in our Jiawang area, we must send a force to deal with us, we can not attack easily, we can rely on the terrain here in Jiawang, send heavy troops to guard the intersection between Longmen Mountain and Muzhai Mountain south of Xie Zhuang, all the infantry are ambushed on the mountain, and the tanks of the second prince block the intersection, abandon the tiger-killing mouth north of Xie Zhuang, and let the drill in.
In this case, we can attack, retreat can defend, in case the ambush here in Longmen Mountain and Muzhai Mountain is not successful, it doesn't matter, we can still calmly retreat to the area around the Jiawang Coal Mine, with the strong fortifications here to resist, so that although our Eighteenth Army can not support the young division on the Taierzhuang side to resist, but we can hold on here, even if Taierzhuang is lost, it will also take care of their right flank with our Eighteenth Army, and dare not attack Xuzhou City on a large scale, after all, there is the Eighteenth Army in the Jiawang area on the right flank, On the left flank, there are also the two corps of Qiu and Li stationed east of Xuzhou, which may be attacked by us from east to west at any time, surrounded and annihilated.
In a word, we can't take the initiative to attack, as long as we hold Jia Wang, in case of a fight on the Taierzhuang side, Chief Liu of Xuzhou will definitely not stand idly by. ” Lao Lu knows what his eighteenth army is good at, at present, guarding Jia Wang, with the mountain danger between Longmen Mountain and Muzhai Mountain and Jia Wang's fortifications here to resist the attack is still very sure, the tactics are flexible and changeable, especially the sports warfare, that has reached the point of perfection, now go out, isn't it just the right way, in comparison, due to the lack of tanks and artillery and other heavy weapons, the ability to attack the fortification is weak, and now they are already planning to attack Taierzhuang, The only attacking forces must have been sent to Taierzhuang, so that the Eighteenth Army here in the Jiawang area can sit back and relax as long as they hold the fortifications and mountain dangers here, not to mention that behind Jiawang is Xuzhou City, what supplies and so on can be quickly reinforced, and the Eighteenth Army has more than 30,000 men and horses, and it is no problem to fight here for half a year.
But Commander Wen didn't want to listen to Lao Lu this time, the second son heard that Lao Lu was mixed with cold water, and hurriedly asked him: "Chief of Staff Lu, you are too bold, our Eighteenth Army has so many elites, but in the face of a small group of forward troops, you have to hide in the trenches and can't retreat, tanks are offensive weapons, they are the king of land warfare, how can they be used to block the intersection as a bunker, if this is passed out, it won't make people laugh off their big teeth, my father knows it, it's okay, you can be fine as a chief of staff, but Commander Wen will have to suffer." ” As soon as Lao Wen heard the last words of the second son, he immediately "chuckled" in his heart, thinking that this second son was not talking about me, indeed, at this time, the chairman of the committee urgently needs a victory to boost the morale of his brothers, the defeat in the northeast battlefield has been decided, and the commander of the first army in the northwest is also defeated, if he is here in Huaihai, he is still doing a turtle with a shrunken head and does not dare to take the initiative to attack, then the chairman will definitely find trouble for himself, not to mention that there is his second son by his side, if he says it to his father, Then I must finish playing, that's it, I have to fight this time.
Commander Wen gritted his teeth and decided, disagreeing with the suggestion of the chief of staff of the army to stick to Jia Wang, and ordered the armored regiment of the second prince to set off immediately to capture Xie Zhuang and kill the tiger's mouth, and the 18th Army was all dispatched, divided into three parts, the main force marched north from the road between Longmen Mountain and Muzhai Mountain, and half a division of each of the other two roads bypassed Longmen Mountain and Mu Zhai Mountain, rushed to the plain area north of Xie Zhuang, and joined the main force and the tank troops of the second son, and merged as a forward near Li Zhuangzi north of Xie Zhuang Lao Lu saw that Commander Wen insisted on going his own way and didn't listen to his advice, so he was anxious, and hurriedly shouted to him at the top of his voice: "Military seat, think twice, even if you want to attack, you have to wait for two days, and it's not too late to attack when Taierzhuang fights, why do you have to set off immediately?"
The second son saw that Lao Lu, a bad old man, was still grinding and chirping there, and he was very annoyed, so he hurriedly asked someone to take Lao Lu out, and Lao Lu was still shouting when he was taken out: "Military seat, quickly send a report to Mr.
Liu, at least he has to approve it." ” But Lao Lu's shouting couldn't move Commander Wen's mind at all, he had been shocked by the last sentence of the second son at this time, Lao Jiang liked the obedient generals the most, as long as he was loyal to him and listened to him, no matter whether you had the ability or not, he would generally not treat you badly, but if you don't listen to him, or if you have two strokes, then you will be in trouble, Chief Gu has great ability, and there are two fights, but why did you take it, and now you are still sitting on a cold bench in Nanjing, The new commander-in-chief of Xuzhou, Chief Liu, is a lucky general, he has no other skills, but he absolutely listens to the words of the chairman, so he can have today's status, he is only a small army commander, and the second son is by his side, if he still shrinks in Jia Wang this time and does not attack, it is estimated that he will not wait for a few days, his own army commander will have to let others do it, that's it, regardless of public or private, this time we will gamble, if we win, we will soar, soar, defeat the big deal and retract back, Jia Wang's strong fortifications here are not muddy, What's the big deal.
Chief of Staff Lu was locked up, he cried a lot in the confinement room, the officers who were guarding outside saw that the chief of staff was usually very popular, and he cared about his brothers, but now he ended up like this, and he couldn't bear it, but because of the obscenity of the commander and the second son, these guarding officers still didn't dare to let Lao Lu out privately, but secretly made some good wine and good food to entertain him, Lao Lu knew that this time the Eighteenth Army went out, the whole army would be wiped out, and East China's attack on Xuzhou this time was not as small as before, It must come out, although the Eighteenth Army has more than 30,000 horses, as well as the tank troops of the second son, what is the use in front of the powerful main force in East China t1706231537:
