In Khabarovsk, Chu Xiong is looking at a map. The map of the Far East he uses is supported by the Black Bear Kingdom and is very accurate;
Two huge arrows on the left and right wings on the map are outflanking the Central Corps. The situation seems to be very serious. The old devil Xiangyue is very ruthless. This is the rhythm of making Eighth Route Army dumplings. I spent a lot of time in Hedong a few years ago and learned how to make dumplings. Dumplings.
Zhong Guoliang hurried from the secret room again and said with determination:
"Old Chu, as you expected, the 11th Japanese Division used roundabout tactics to capture Gongqingcheng;
A regiment of our garrison stationed in Komsomolsk was outnumbered and defeated by the enemy. Fortunately, it retreated in time and the casualties were not heavy.
Xiangyue's old devil is indeed ruthless. He struck seven inches in front of our army with one strike, cutting off the Khabarovsk section of the Siberian Railway and cutting off the supplies of our Central Corps.
On the left wing, another roundabout force of the Japanese also completed its penetration, occupied the city of Mogel, and cut off the connection between the city of Duki and the Amur region;
In this way, the Japanese completed the cutting of the left and right wings of the Central Corps.
Immediately afterwards, the Japanese's 38th Army and 39th Army launched a pincer attack from both wings, using the armored troops as arrows;
The Japanese mechanized troops attacked very quickly, and it took only one day and one night to complete the encirclement of the Duji City area.
Now our Central Corps is surrounded by Japanese soldiers within a range of less than 50 kilometers from east to west and 100 kilometers from north to south near Duji City;
On their left and right wings, there is one army on each side, and there are two other Japanese armies to the north. They are only 50 kilometers away from Duji City.
Now, our Central Corps surrounded the Japanese Seventh Division in Duji City, and on the periphery, the Japanese's four corps surrounded the Central Corps in the Duji City area;
After the Japanese completed the siege of the Central Corps, they were not in a hurry to close the net. Instead, they switched to defense on the spot and began to frantically dig trenches and build blockades. This was the rhythm of building a fence..."
While listening to Zhong Guoliang's enemy situation report, Chu Xiong used red and blue pencils to mark the new enemy and enemy situation map on the map.
After the markings were completed, Chu Xiong couldn't help but cheer for Xiang Yue Qingji. This old boy's tactical skills were much better than Xiao Zhuoyi'an. He was secretly glad that he didn't meet him when he was very weak.
In a word - thank you to Touichi Terauchi for driving this old boy away from Hedong!
"Old Zhong, look at it, the two intersecting lines of the Japs on the left and right wings are quite beautiful.
In the Far East, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and logistical supplies rely heavily on railways;
After the two intersecting Japanese troops occupied Komsomolsk and Mogel City, they cut off the Northwestern Siberia Railway from the east and west directions, cutting off the supply line of the Central Corps.
It only took one day and one night to complete the siege of the Central Corps. The skill of making dumplings was truly passed down by the old lady from Hedong! "
Zhong Guoliang nodded in agreement. Xiangyue Qingsi was indeed a tough opponent. He asked Chu Xiong for instructions:
"Old Chu, do you want to start eating the Japs' bait now?"
Chu Xiong shook his head and said:
"Don't worry, let Xiangyue Qingji's sweet dream last a little longer to generate electricity for the left and right wing corps. You can evacuate secretly from the direction of Hailanpao and Vladivostok. Remember to use the method of increasing the number of troops and reducing the number of troops to confuse the Japanese and let them evacuate secretly. They mistakenly believed that the main force of our army was still in two places;
The next two regiments went out at dawn and night, carrying only ten days' field rations and necessary equipment. They moved lightly and secretly approached the Japanese on the left and right.
Let them also see what it means to intersperse light infantry. The old Japanese seems to have forgotten one thing. Our Eighth Route Army never relied on railways when fighting in the past, but on two iron foot plates! "
After Chu Xiong finished speaking, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, knowing that everything was understood.
Chuxiong is preparing to fight a mobile battle with the Japanese during the Goryeo War, in which our volunteers were invincible.
The Japanese spent three days building the fence. After making sure everything was safe, the Japanese encirclement began to close the net steadily. The main force of the Japanese advanced at a speed of about 15 to 20 kilometers every day, and it took at most three days to close the net of the Central Corps.
At the Far East Expeditionary Force Headquarters, Xiangyue Qingji and a group of old Japanese soldiers gathered around the sand table for a war game. Several old Japanese soldiers had flushed faces and were as excited as if they had just finished some exercise.
Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Uto suppressed his excitement and said:
"Your Excellency, Commander, our staff team has conducted several war games, and the best result for the Chinese Central Corps is to be broken into pieces and defeated;
Even so, they will lose at least 90% of their troops and equipment, or even more. This is the vast and sparsely populated Far East, not China;
Without supplies, most of them would have to die in the wilderness! "
Xiangyue Qingji nodded with great satisfaction and said:
"Yo Xi, thank you for your hard work. Let's deduce what happens if the 7th Division is annihilated or defeated by the Chinese. Will the Chinese be annihilated as well?"
Yudu looked at General Xiangyue in confusion. Although he thought that this favorable result would not happen, he still organized a dozen deputy chiefs of staff and senior staff officers to conduct a new deduction;
The commander is right to be worried. Nothing in this world is absolutely impossible, especially on the ever-changing battlefield, where everything is possible!
Lieutenant General Yudu began to make a new deduction, assuming that the 7th Division was completely wiped out, the Eighth Route Army lost 20,000 troops, and consumed more than half of its equipment and supplies;
Xiangyue Qingji expressed his approval. The 7th Division is an A-class division with 25,000 people and a solid defensive position. Even if the 7th Division is annihilated, the price paid by the Eighth Route Army will not be small. The loss of 20,000 should be a A relatively conservative figure.
Under this setting, the Japs conducted another deduction, and finally came to the conclusion that the Central China Corps still could not escape the fate of being encircled and annihilated, but the Japs paid a greater price;
If the Seventh Division is included, the total number of casualties is about 30,000!
"Yo Xi, the Eighth Route Army's combat effectiveness is indeed very strong. Considering that this is the only mechanized corps of the Eighth Route Army, it is their first-class ace unit;
It is acceptable to pay a loss of 30,000 to 50,000 people to annihilate them!
As long as the Chinese mechanized corps is annihilated, the rest of the battle will be easier to fight——"
At this time, a communications staff officer hurriedly broke in and won over Xiangyue Qingji. The old Japanese looked at him with evil eyes. If he could not give him a reasonable reason, his future in the army would be over. .
The communications staff officer paused and said:
"Your Excellency, Commander, there is a call from the Seventh Division. The Eighth Route Army suddenly stepped up its offensive and attacked the Seventh Division with all its strength. The Eighth Route Army fought tooth and nail."
After hearing this, Xiang Yueqing had a smile like an old fox on his face. The reaction of the Eighth Route Army did not surprise him, and everything was under his control.
The Eighth Route Army had never launched a battle against the Seventh Division before, which made him feel a little uneasy;
The knife finally struck down, and it was kept hanging to prevent him from getting down on his feet. Now that it was fine, the Eighth Route Army's trump cards were exhausted, and it was his turn to take action...
"Utsu-kun, both sides have revealed their cards, let's begin!"
