The commissioner did not reply in time, but fell into a short period of thought. He understood that this was another war initiated by Wen San, and the 66th Army was only the actual executor.
Wen's Third Division has achieved major victories many times, and his ability to command operations is quite outstanding. This fact has long been known to the commissioners. It's just that such a big scene involves tens of thousands of troops. Can he, a small regiment leader, handle it?
"How sure do you think this combat plan will be successful?" the commissioner asked. He was asking Commander Ye as well as Commander Tang.
"I think the probability of success is at least 70%." Commander Ye answered simply. He believed in Wen San's judgment.
Without corresponding assurance, he would not agree to launch this combat plan.
Chief Tang was not in a hurry to answer. He still couldn't believe that the 66th Army had such a strong combat capability.
"Commissioner, according to their plan, this battle will start at dawn. At dawn, the Japanese planes will bomb the various departments of the 66th Army crazily. This is a very unsolvable problem and will greatly affect their future. Combat effectiveness and determination." Commander Tang's concerns were not without reason.
In fact, the Japanese often used this method to blow up the national army, which had clearly gained a certain advantage, to disgrace and cause heavy casualties. This is also one of the important reasons why the national army retreated all the way.
Once the 159th Division and the 160th Division were bombarded by Japanese planes and unable to hold their heads up, the two Japanese brigades would have a great chance to escape. Wen San's combat plan came to nothing, and instead exposed the originally strong defense line to the attack of the 16th Division.
"I know this is a problem. During the day, the main task of the two divisions of the 66th Army is to encircle the two brigades on the outskirts of Jiuhua Mountain. As long as they are determined, with the assistance of the independent regiment, they are still very sure to block the enemy's way. . On the contrary, the reinforcements on both sides of the Japanese are a big problem. I am worried that the 83rd Division cannot stop the 13th Division, and I am even more worried that the 154th Division cannot withstand the attack of Nakajima, the commander of the 16th Division."
"If there is a problem on either side of the two sides, their combat plan will directly go bankrupt, and the entire line of defense will collapse." This is what the committee is more worried about.
"We may mobilize a division from the 74th Army to participate in a surprise attack on the brigade led by Nakajima, and cooperate with the 154th Division in another annihilation battle. Try to expand the battlefield as much as possible to reduce the pressure on the 159th Division and the 160th Division." Tang The commander thought for a while and added a new plan.
If this is the case, it is equivalent to the national army using the strength of three armies to launch a comprehensive attack on the 16th Division. Even if the Japanese planes want to bomb, they will still make certain choices.
As soon as the plan came out, the commissioner immediately stood up and came to the military map to observe it carefully.
There are many Japanese aircraft, but they have to support multiple battlefields at the same time. The entire battle to defend the capital was fought everywhere. No matter how many enemy planes there were, they would still be stretched thin. It is impossible to cover everything everywhere. If they launch another annihilation war in Qinglong Mountain, how should the Japanese respond?
This is equivalent to opening up three new battlefields at once, and each battlefield is very important. As the saying goes, a single move affects the whole body!
Under normal circumstances, you can only secure one place first. Wherever the fighting was the fiercest, the Japanese planes flew there. Nakajima is currently on the Qinglong Mountain side. Their side is the first to launch an attack. The possibility that the Japanese will focus on protecting him is much greater.
"This will be a big battle and will affect the nerves of the entire capital defense battle. We have been passively beaten, and we should indeed make some beautiful counterattacks."
The committee member was silent for a long time, and finally implemented Chief Tang's plan. First, the 154th Division and the 51st Division under the 74th Army launched an attack on another brigade led by Nakajima, creating a high-pressure situation to confuse the Japanese frontline headquarters.
The 159th Division and the 160th Division cooperated with the independent regiment to encircle the two Japanese brigades, trapping them on the outskirts of Jiuhua Mountain, waiting for the best opportunity to fight.
The 83rd Army tried its best to block the reinforcements of the Japanese 13th Division and resolutely prevented the 13th Division's troops from moving closer to Jiuhua Mountain. At the same time, the supreme commander ordered all ministries to prepare support operations at any time.
Commander Ye was a little excited when he saw Commander Tang's new battle plan. This is equivalent to his three divisions participating in two critical battles at the same time. As long as one battlefield is successfully fought, unprecedented results will be achieved.
Commander Ye quickly calmed down and immediately conveyed the decision to Wen San. This big battle will start soon, and it's hard not to be excited about it.
Wen San was a little surprised when he learned of the committee's new move. Originally, he was planning to deal with the old Japanese man in Zhongdao after clearing up the two Japanese brigades, but he didn't expect that the committee was even more anxious than he was.
After thinking about it, Wen San quickly understood the intention above. The committee is borrowing their strength, and at the same time it is sharing the pressure on the battlefield here.
Generally speaking, there is not much problem with this arrangement, and the order of the battles is also reasonable. It's just that these two battles cannot be delayed too long. Over time, the entire battlefield situation will undergo serious changes.
At that time, the annihilation war is likely to turn into a tug-of-war, which will be very detrimental to all departments of the national army. After all, in terms of equipment, the national army is still very disadvantaged.
Wen San's troops are gathering at the predetermined location. His main force will not participate in the attack during the day, but will hide and rest.
Li Baisha's troops were directly integrated into the 160th Division and would join them in defensive operations to block the path of the two brigades.
The 159th Division had been moving through the night with their newly acquired equipment. They were going to take the retreat of the two Japanese brigades. According to Wen San's estimation, they will arrive at the predetermined location before dawn, and then launch an attack from behind the Japanese.
In fact, the two Japanese brigades were almost reaching the 160th Division's defense line. The Japanese had already received the news, and the 160th Division actually came forward to meet the 'Independent Regiment' that had been pursued by them.
This made the Japs in the two brigades a little angry and a little happy. If we can kill the 160th Division together, then this operation will be worth it.
However, the news that the remnants of the Xinye Brigade had been destroyed soon spread, and the two Japanese Brigades were immediately stunned! They left the Xinye Brigade in place to prevent the 154th Division from launching a sneak attack. Another troop emerged from nowhere and wiped out the remnants of the Xinye Brigade.
The key is that the Xinye Brigade has a lot of troops. How did they kill the Xinye Brigade in a short time? This news sounds very outrageous.
The Japanese headquarters at all levels were furious and crawled out of bed one after another.
They couldn't figure out why the Xinye Brigade of four to five thousand people was quickly annihilated. Which army had such a strong combat capability? !
