Ma Ping'an was worthy of being a valued person during the Dragon Boat Festival. He only left for one day and came back on his fast horse at night.
When Ma Ping'an arrived at the Dragon Boat Festival headquarters, he felt a little exhausted. Dragon Boat Festival gave Ma Pingan a bowl of water and asked Lao Abacus to get some porridge. Because Ma Ping'an looked like he hadn't eaten all day.
Ma Ping'an drank three bowls of water in a row before he could breathe again, and said to Duanwu: "Brother Duanwu, although the little devil has not launched an attack, he has begun to actively prepare for war.
To the southeast of us is the entire 26th Brigade of the Japanese Thirteenth Division.
Most of the Japanese's 26th Brigade are in Chuzhou, but there is also an infantry regiment and an artillery brigade stationed in Lai'an County.
In Sanjia Town, 80 kilometers due south of Dingyuan County, in addition to the 150th Regiment of the 114th Division and the 39th Infantry Regiment of the 10th Division, a newly restored 40th Regiment was added.
Wasn't this 40th Regiment crippled by you last time? The little Japanese didn't know where to draw additional troops to supplement them. They consisted of at least two infantry brigades. Therefore, the total strength of the Japanese army in Sanjia Town was less than 10,000, and there was also an artillery brigade stationed in the city.
The Japanese army also appeared in the southeast of Changfeng County. The news came back that they were part of the Japanese 10th Division. The specific number is unknown. I guess they were used to suppress the 31st Army. It looks like this is going to be a big battle! "
Duanwu smiled and said: "Of course, this will be a battle no less than the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing.
By the way, Lao Ma, what's going on with the Japanese in Lai'an County? How much information do you have except for the 26th Brigade in the state? "
Ma Pingan was surprised: "Brother Duanwu, what do you want to do to eliminate the state? In my opinion, if you really want to attack the Japanese artillery, it is better to go to Sanjia Town. Although there are a lot of Japanese soldiers in Sanjia Town, it is better than eliminating the state." Zhou must be strong, right? Chuzhou is a brigade with Japanese soldiers. Once you attack An County and the Japanese soldiers from Chuzhou add reinforcements, even if you transfer the entire 51st Army there, you won't be able to take advantage at all?
What's more, Zhuzhou and Lai'an County are nearly 150 kilometers away from Bengbu, but Sanjia Town is only 80 kilometers away from Bengbu?
Brother, let me say something more. With your ability, plus the 51st Army, plus our Eighth Route Army, it is not impossible to fight a beautiful encirclement and annihilation battle? "
Duanwu smiled slightly and took out a military map from the side. Many of the maps had Japanese characters on them. It was obvious that this was a military map captured from the Japanese.
Duanwu pointed and Sanjia Town said: "Old Ma, you see, although these three towns are only 80 kilometers away from Dingyuan County, it is about a hundred kilometers from Bengbu to Sanjia Town.
If you look at these three towns, they have 10,000 troops. How can such a small town hold 10,000 troops?
Moreover, Sanjia Town is only 80 kilometers away from Dingyuan County. Are the little devils really not afraid of a surprise attack by me and the 51st Army? "
Ma Pingan was still puzzled and said: "Brother Duanwu, how many Japs are there in these three towns?"
Duanwu said: "There are many, there are Japs from two divisions gathered here, the 114th Division and the 10th Division.
The 114th Division was originally a border defense force, and most of their people were in ah. And what about the 10th Division? They were temporarily deployed by the Japanese to deal with me.
And you told me that the Japanese Tenth Division appeared near Changfeng County. So is it possible that the remnants of the Japanese Tenth Division are also operating on the front line in Sanjia Town? They even set up a pocket array in Sanjia Town to wait for us.
We can imagine that there are about 10,000 Japanese in Sanjia Town, either too many or too few. From the previous 150th Regiment to the 39th Regiment, a 40th Regiment has just been restored.
What would ordinary people think? A group of defeated generals, the 150th Regiment and the 39th Regiment, have just been defeated by us, and the 40th Regiment has just restored its designation, so it is possible that they are all new recruits.
This is very confusing. The impression given by Sanjia Town is that the Japanese thought that the troops in Sanjia Town were weak and were afraid of being eaten by us, so they immediately sent in an infantry regiment to strengthen the defense.
But in fact, this is a trap.
The Japanese pretended to be pretentious and deliberately let us see that Sanjia Town had increased its defenses and only had about 10,000 troops.
Because according to my personality, I will definitely not take these more than 10,000 Japanese in my eyes. What's more, he is so close to Dingyuan County? If we march in a hurry, I can put the bayonet on his little devil's nose in one day.
So since the little devil has calculated this, he will definitely not be unprepared. If my guess is correct, at least one brigade of the Japanese Tenth Division, including the 39th Regiment and the 40th Regiment, is ambushing in Sanjia Town, just waiting for me to fall into the trap! "
Ma Pingan suddenly realized at this time: "It's so dangerous. If we go according to the existing intelligence, we may fall into the trap."
Duanwu said: "The little devils are getting smarter and smarter. However, they must not have thought that I would sacrifice the near and far to come to An County.
First, Chuzhou is far away from Bengbu. Even if it is a rapid march, it will take two days for the troops to reach Chuzhou.
Secondly, in addition to the one brigade in the state, even if the entire 51st Army, my independent regiment, and Zhou Weiguo's 522nd Regiment went, they would still be able to fight. After all, the 51st Army still needs to set up defenses, and it is impossible to go out in full force.
Therefore, the Japanese who came to An County would never expect that we would beat him. We have at least an 80% chance of succeeding, and we can also ambush the little devils, letting them know that their little cleverness is nothing in front of my Dragon Boat Festival. "
Ma Ping'an's blood boiled as he listened to Dragon Boat Festival's tactical analysis. But he was still a little worried and said: "I have faith in Brother Duanwu's abilities, but with so many Japs, you need a lot of troops!
Moreover, if the 51st Army mobilizes a large number of troops, the Japs may notice it. After all, no one can say whether there are spies of the Japs outside the city. The Japanese have already guessed that you will give up the idea of dismissing the state, so they open their pocket array and wait for you there. "
Duanwu said: "It doesn't matter. I don't know how to use any of the people from the 51st Army. I only bring my special agent battalion, including the two battalions of Zhou Weiguo's 522nd Regiment. After I get it, I will call It is enough to ask the first unit of the 51st Army in the direction of Mingguang to cooperate, and then add the independent regiment to respond.
What I want to know now is the numbers, composition, etc. of the Japs stationed in Chuzhou and Lai'an counties. The more detailed the better. "
"There's no problem with that, it's just that I need a radio station to connect with our comrades."
Ma Pingan stated his request, and Duanwu shouted disdainfully: "Lao Abacus went to the warehouse to move ten radio stations out, and let Lao Ma pick and use them! Hahaha!..."
ps: Thanks to 'Super Legend Brother' for the reward, thank you!
