After changing positions, Wang Ziqing looked at the position structure diagram in his hand, and then immediately commanded the troops to enter the position first. The change of defense must be completed before dawn.
If the defense change cannot be completed before dawn, the entire army may fall under the threat of the Japanese Jiudingshan artillery. If another round of artillery shells is fired here, the outcome may not be certain.
Therefore, Zhang Tianhai gave a death order and must enter the west position of Yixian County as quickly as possible.
Zhang Tianhai's regiment headquarters was established in the original division headquarters of the 27th Division. It has to be said that the Northwest Army is famous all over the world for its good defense.
You can tell by looking at the location where their division headquarters is located. It is in a very inconspicuous corner, and this corner happens to be where most of the position can be seen.
The point is, here you can see the entire situation of the Japanese counterattack in Yixian County. Of course, this is a hypothetical Japanese counterattack. If the Japanese army wants to launch a counterattack, it must not escape the eyes of the division headquarters observation post, and the division headquarters can directly see it. .
"It seems that staying here is not a good job...I'm afraid I will become cannon fodder..." Zhou Fangjie stood at the window of the regiment headquarters and looked in the direction of Yixian, and then sighed.
"Brother Fang Jie is wrong. The main force in this battle is Tang Enbo's army, not us." Zhang Tianhai said with a smile.
"How do you say this?" Zhou Fangjie asked with great interest.
"Tang Enbo's army has strong soldiers and horses. It is fully equipped with Soloton machine guns, mortars, light and heavy machine guns. There are two artillery battalions alone, and there is also a heavy artillery battalion. After this battle, it will be up to them. ." Zhang Tianhai said with a smile.
At this time, Guo Qiliang spoke and said: "I also think what Lao Zhang said is reasonable. The strength of Tang Enbo's army before the war reached more than 72,000."
Before Zhang Tianhai and Zhou Fangjie could answer the question, Guo Qiliang said with familiarity: "The second division was formed by downsizing the 3rd, 14th and 54th divisions after the victory of the Northern Expedition. The quality of the soldiers is better than ours." The half-new and half-broken troops of our regiment are much stronger; the 4th Division was adapted from the original 2nd Teaching Division; the 25th Division was formed by transferring elite troops from the 4th Division; The 89th Division was formed by the teaching team of the Central Military Academy in Wuhan and the demonstration troops of Wuhan Jiangbei Fortress. Which one is worse in combat effectiveness?"
"Indeed, let me tell you, if we really fight with real swords and guns, apart from Zhang Zhen's troops of the 10th Division, our regiment's military quality can barely defeat them. I don't think so." Don't think about it." Zhang Tianhai said with a smile, "So, this big drama probably won't be as big as our group. The most we can do is don't let these little devils in front of us get away."
"It's true, it seems I'm overthinking it. You two are more thoughtful..." Zhou Fangjie said with a smile.
"Let's just wait for the news. First, the cavalry battalion will launch a reconnaissance! Then we will arrange the troops to defend. Also, we have to hide the twelve treasures of our regiment. If this thing If it’s gone, it’s wasted.” Zhang Tianhai said with a smile.
"Okay! You are the leader, I can only trust you. Haha..." Zhou Fangjie patted Zhang Tianhai on the shoulder and smiled.
The next morning, that is, the morning of April 9, the headquarters of the Fifth Theater Commander issued a combat order to launch a fierce attack on the enemies in Yixian and nearby Yixian.
Among them, the military deployment of this battle was: Tang Enbo's army fought from east to west, and Sun Lianzhong's group army fought from south to north.
As for the first regiment directly under Zhang Tianhai's third theater, there was no mention of it. It is obvious that the task of the first regiment in this battle is to defend the position to the west of Yixian and prevent the enemy from breaking out!
Regarding the specific deployment of Tang Enbo's army's attack, Guan Linzheng's 52nd Army attacked from east to west, and Wang Zhonglian's 85th Army attacked from southeast to northwest, forming a momentum of encirclement and attack.
Among them, the 52nd Army is responsible for the task of recovering Jiuding Mountain. Its specific attack deployment is that Zheng Dongguo's 2nd Division is on the left, attacking Jiuding Mountain and the south of Jiuding Mountain; Zhang Yaoming's 25th Army The division is on the right, using its main force (three regiments) to attack the enemies in the villages north of Jiuding Mountain, leaving one regiment of the 25th Division as the general reserve of the 52nd Army Headquarters.
As soon as the order from the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth War Zone was issued, the entire Yixian County was reduced to a pot of porridge, and the sound of guns and artillery rumbled throughout the entire world.
Among the frontline troops that may be fighting, only the first regiment directly under Zhang Tianhai's third theater is the most leisurely. After all, they don't have to fight forward, they only need to hold their position.
In the past, the task of holding the position may have been very arduous, but the current situation is different. The Japanese army is now overwhelmed and stretched by Tang Enbo's 20th Army and Sun Lianzhong's Second Army, and it is impossible to escape. The troops came to launch an attack on the first regiment directly under the third theater guarding the west of Yixian County.
After a busy night, the headquarters of the first regiment directly under the third war zone has fully grasped the position and has made the most suitable deployment of the so-called troops. Therefore, at this time, Zhang Tianhai, Zhou Fangjie and Guo Qiliang, the three direct The core figures of the regiment are all fast asleep in the regiment headquarters.
What's even more outrageous is that the continuous artillery fire outside seems to have nothing to do with them.
It's just that the staff officers in the staff department have to take turns on duty...
While Zhang Tianhai and others were sleeping soundly, Tang Enbo's army was progressing very smoothly. Among them, the second division of the 20th Army's top ace division had advanced to the foot of Jiuding Mountain. The offensive was devastating. , so fast!
But considering Jiuding Mountain, which is a bare stone mountain, it is not easy to approach during the day. A hasty attack will not only lead to failure, but also cause excessive casualties.
Therefore, the commander of the Second Division Zheng Dongguo immediately decided to use the method of "surprise attack with elite troops" to attack the enemy troops on Jiuding Mountain.
Therefore, Zheng Dongguo immediately selected the best soldiers from the army to launch an attack on the enemies of Jiuding Mountain at night.
As night falls, a cool breeze blows, and wisps of cool breeze gently blow on the faces of the national officers and soldiers.
Zhang Tianhai stood inside the regiment headquarters, observing the surrounding situation through the dim light. After a day's rest, he was in high spirits at this time!
"Lao Guo, it's too monotonous this night. I think we should do something. In case the enemies in the city are unhappy, we are also quite bored..." Zhang Tianhai said calmly.
"With our small force, it's good to hold the position here, but you still want to provoke the enemy?" Guo Qiliang said with a smile. He knew Zhang Tianhai, maybe he really wanted to take his troops out to provoke the enemy. These enemy troops may have just fallen asleep.
"No, no, no, just provoke them, then forget it. We can ring the alarm clock for them. This is still okay. They don't let us sleep during the day, and they don't want to sleep at night." Zhang Tianhai said with a smirk on his face. said.
"You mean to send a special agent company to fight against the city and then retreat? Isn't this idea too boring? It's almost aimless." Guo Qiliang said with a frown.
"No, I'm not that boring. It's still necessary to send the special agent company to practice courage, but it's not just as simple as shooting a few shots. If you really let them fall asleep so relieved, that would be a huge sin. "Zhang Tianhai said seriously.
"Then how do you plan to fight tonight's battle?" Guo Qiliang asked. After all, Zhang Tianhai has a lot of weird ideas in his mind, so it doesn't hurt to listen to them.
"Let's do this! I plan to take the special agent company to explore the enemy's situation outside Yixian City, and use the sound of gunfire as a signal. No matter what the situation is, once the shooting starts, the artillery battalion will immediately fire at Yixian! At least it will After firing two hundred and forty shells for me, twenty shells for each gun, is this interesting enough?" Zhang Tianhai looked at Guo Qiliang with a smile and asked.
"What? In tonight's battle, the artillery battalion is actually the protagonist?" Guo Qiliang was a little shocked. He couldn't understand Zhang Tianhai's brain circuit.
Is it just to prevent the Japanese soldiers from sleeping? Not necessarily? If Zhang Tianhai was really that boring, he couldn't be the leader of the Zhiyi Regiment.
"Yes, it's that simple. As long as our artillery fires, we can probably respond to Tang Enbo's army's attack." Zhang Tianhai said seriously.
"Huh? Lao Zhang, I still don't quite understand. How can we respond to Tang Enbo's army's attack by firing artillery here?" Guo Qiliang really didn't understand, but he asked very seriously.
"If nothing goes wrong, the troops of the Second Division will capture Jiuding Mountain at least before tomorrow morning. Let's fire artillery here. Yes, we can attract the enemy's attention to our side to the maximum extent. Instead, let the Japanese command The official's offensive in the direction of Jiuding Mountain is relatively lax. Given the stinginess of our national army's artillery, these two hundred and forty shells are enough to define the Japanese army as launching a general offensive." The corner of Zhang Tianhai's mouth slightly raised. Curved, very confident.
"Launching an attack on Yixian County with the strength of a company and the cover of artillery, making the enemy think that your army is the main force, you are very smart at this point! But this plan is indeed crazy." Guo Qiliang is not an amateur. People also know that the method mentioned by Zhang Tianhai is not impossible, and it is a method of play that is very likely to achieve strategic goals.
In fact, someone has actually done it in history by pretending to be the main force to move continuously, and that is Li Tianxia who refused to save him. This move was so perfect!
It is precisely because of this that gives Zhang Tianhan a certain degree of confidence. Under certain conditions, as long as the command is proper and, more importantly, the cooperation is proper, then the next combat goal to be achieved will be much easier.
It may sound absurd and unbelievable to launch an attack with a company posing as a regiment, but the actual operating space is still quite large.
Not only the artillery battalion had to fire, but even the Suolotong machine gun also had to fire intermittently at Yixian County at the same time, creating the illusion that the main force of the national army was storming the west gate of Yixian County!
