"What is the combat capability of this Jiang Defense Regiment?" Commander Ye breathed a sigh of relief, but was worried about the strength of the Jiang Defense Regiment.
"It's okay. I split the Jiang Defense Regiment into two parts and followed the independent regiment. At present, the combat effectiveness is okay. After the battlefield here is cleaned, I plan to send another batch of equipment there, so that their combat effectiveness will be It's improved a lot." Wen San is still very satisfied with Jiang Fang Tuan's attitude.
Their equipment is indeed poor, but the leader Lin Liangguo dares to fight bravely and fights very bravely. Under the leadership of the independent regiment, the combat effectiveness displayed was at least one to two levels stronger than before.
During the Japanese ambush before, the Jiang Defense Regiment refused to retreat. If they hadn't received Wen San's order to follow Li Baisha's German weapons battalion, Lin Liangguo would not have withdrawn from the ambush position and would have fought to the death with the Japanese.
"Brother Wen, I think it's a waste of force to use your elite main force to block the remnants of the 16th Division. It's better to send the 154th Division directly out of Qinglong Mountain to build a defense line. The 16th Division still has almost a brigade of troops at Qinglong Mountain. On the other side, the division commander Nakajima Kongo will personally lead it. I believe that our 154th Division can hold off this brigade for at least two days."
Commander Ye also made up his mind. Since he was determined to fight this battle, he would use all his troops. The main battalion of the independent regiment is a real elite force, and it is indeed not cost-effective to use it to defend the remainder of the 16th Division.
The most important point is that although Wen San's two main battalions have strong firepower, their military strength is obviously lacking. Since the strength of the 154th was several times his, it seemed more appropriate for the 154th Division to perform this task.
Good steel should be used on the blade, that's what Commander Ye thinks.
"Once the strength of my two divisions is reduced, it is meaningless for the remaining 159th Division to be stationed in place. It is better to invest the 159th Division in the battle of annihilation and carry out a flanking attack on the two Japanese brigades. I have two divisions in hand. The strength of the troops is already equivalent to that of the two Japanese brigades, plus the strength of the two regiments in your hands, we will strive to annihilate the two Japanese brigades tomorrow night!"
"Commander Ye's idea is very good! In this case, I only need heavy artillery and corresponding artillery shells to capture the Xinye Brigade here. All other firearms will be given to your army. I believe that after the 154th Division and the 159th Division obtain these equipment, their combat effectiveness should be There is a significant improvement.”
Wen San was also generous. At most, after wiping out the two Japanese brigades, he could just make up for it.
Commander Ye was stunned for a moment and immediately agreed to Wen San's proposal. His troops really need to upgrade their firepower. Especially in the current war, firepower configuration is very important. The Xinye Brigade has a lot of light and heavy machine guns left, which will greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the two divisions he has.
Wen San's artillery battalion doubled in size. Although the additional troops from the Jiang Defense Regiment were moved, a lot of the original artillery battalion's combat effectiveness was released.
After receiving the heavy firepower of the Xinye Brigade, they can be directly split into two artillery battalions without any reduction in firepower.
In this way, the firepower of Wen San's troops will be greatly increased, and they can participate in the main battlefield attack and put greater pressure on the Japanese.
"Brother Wen supports us so much. It would be really embarrassing if we don't win this battle. I will report to Commander Tang right away. I believe he will support our action." Commander Ye acted very quickly and arranged After receiving the equipment, the troops quickly headed to the headquarters of the 154th Division.
Wen San was also quickly gathering his troops, and delivered the newly captured heavy artillery and various types of artillery shells to Zheng Xiaoyu as soon as possible. The order to split up the artillery battalion was also passed on.
"In addition, tell Lao Yangtou to take out the remaining individual rocket launchers and equip them to the first and second battalions. Lin Liangguo's battalion should also equip them with light and heavy machine guns and corresponding ammunition, at least two bases." Wen San understood that in the coming war, his troops would definitely be used to carry out critical battles.
Although the two divisions of the 66th Army were the main attackers, at the critical moment, they had no better way except to use men to push forward.
At this time, the independent group's hard solution ability becomes very important.
A series of arrangements here were quickly implemented. Weapons from the Wensan Logistics Department will basically be invested in order to enhance the combat capabilities of each department.
On Chief Tang's side, he was woken up again by the combat staff who had just fallen asleep. The combat plan sent by the 66th Army was too bold and exceeded their ability to handle. What's more, it also requires the mobilization of the 83rd Army to block the Japanese 13th Division. Such a large-scale battle is already a corps battle.
"What! The 66th Army, in cooperation with the Independent Regiment, actually wants to launch a war of annihilation against two brigades under the 16th Japanese Division? Is this plan too bold?" Commander Tang's sleepiness suddenly flew to the sky.
Although the battle to defend the capital was fought everywhere, the intensity varied. But the general situation is that the national army is fighting bloody battles on the defensive line and is completely passive.
Who would have thought that the 66th Army on the Tangshan front line would make such a bold battle plan after winning two major victories in a row. Commander Tang knew very well how ferocious the Japanese's 16th Division was. The entire division has a strength of about 25,000 men. Although it has lost some of its strength, it still maintains a strong combat effectiveness.
This is the elite division of the Japs, and its overall combat effectiveness is much greater than that of the national army. How dare Commander Ye come up with such a bold battle plan?
Together, this battle will surely affect the entire battlefield, and is likely to become the core focus of the battle to defend the capital. Even Chief Tang did not dare to approve this plan easily. He immediately took the relevant documents and reported to the committee members. After all, he is the real supreme commander.
The night was already very late, and the committee member had just gone to bed. Chief Tang came in a hurry and was almost stopped by the guards in the attendant's room. It was not until Chief Tang said that he had very urgent military matters to report that he had no choice but to enter.
The committee member has not been in a good mood recently. If it weren't for the recent major successes from the 66th Army, he would not be able to sleep at all.
When he took the battle plan handed over by Commander Tang, the muscles on his face jumped for no reason.
"This plan is too bold. Let Commander Ye answer the phone. I want to know the most detailed report." The committee did not decide on the spot, but decided to find Commander Ye. After all, he was the initiator of this plan.
It is well known that the commissioner is a self-proclaimed military genius and likes to interfere with his subordinates to direct operations. How could such a war be possible without his participation?
The call to the headquarters of the 154th Division was quickly answered, and the commissioner personally intervened, which still made Commander Ye a little nervous. Fortunately, the relevant plans were very thorough. After adjusting his emotions slightly, Commander Ye told him everything about his situation.
It took about fifteen minutes for Commander Ye to finish explaining the specific situation.
