"Then let's wait and see if we have a chance to take down the stubborn Matsuura Division's division headquarters!" Guo Qiliang chuckled, his words full of belief.
After being partners for such a long time, Guo Qiliang has gradually begun to trust Zhang Tianhai, and has even reached the point of complete trust - as long as the command is proper and the cooperation is appropriate, how can there be a battle that cannot be won?
"Okay, Lao Guo, let's stop bragging. Let's judge Japan's next step in combat?" Zhang Tianhai smiled slightly.
"Lao Zhang, I personally think that we can make a judgment and conduct a tactical deduction, but it cannot be implemented as the next action plan. After all, the battlefield is changing rapidly. If the judgment is wrong, our group will be involved. "Yeah." Guo Qiliang smiled, he didn't have Zhang Tianhai's flexible mind, let alone the latter's bold heart.
"That doesn't prevent us from doing some tactical deductions, right?" Zhang Tianhai smiled, his smile calm and confident.
"You are really getting better very quickly. When I was going to the military academy, I would not believe to my death that this young man Zhang Yulin would have such good results. You used to be submissive. Tell me, where do we start from? Start the deduction?" The relationship between Guo Qiliang and Zhang Tianhai is the best. It can be said that the command steps of the First Police Regiment are not much different from before. There are only some minor changes, but the essence has not changed. How many.
So, the question is, what is the essence? The essence is that the command of the first police regiment is still firmly in the hands of Zhang Tianhai and Guo Qiliang.
It should be noted that the First Guard Regiment is composed of Zhang Tianhai’s people from top to bottom, and only Zhang Tianhai can fully command it. Apart from that, there is only Guo Qiliang.
Guo Qiliang was the chief of staff of the regiment from the beginning, and his prestige was only slightly lower than that of Zhang Tianhai - the reason for the lower level was that he was the military auxiliary officer of Captain Zhang Tianhai, and he did not have the same authority as Captain Zhang. The courage to rush and kill.
More importantly, Deputy Commander Guo is the most trusted person of Commander Zhang, and can be called his right-hand man!
"Then let's start the deduction when the Japanese 27th Division invades Baishui Street!" Zhang Tianhai was still smiling, "Based on Brother Guo's talent, we should know what they want to do. Brother Guo believes that both the enemy and us How will the situation change?"
After Guo Qiliang thought for a while, he said: "Our army has six divisions near Baishui Street, four of which can be directly mobilized, namely the 60th Division, the 91st Division, and the 141st Division. Division, there is also a newly formed Thirteenth Division. Now that the Japanese army is so aggressive, with the strength of a regiment, they dare to go deep into the vicinity of Qilin Peak and try to open the Whitewater Street passage. They are thinking too simply. "
"It seems that Brother Guo also has a positive attitude towards the war on Baishui Street..." Zhang Tianhai said with a smile, he was happy to see this situation.
"If the troops of four divisions cannot annihilate a regiment, then these commanders should all die." Guo Qiliang analyzed seriously, "If our army can annihilate this regiment, the 27th Japanese Army alone will As for the remaining two main regiments of the division, I think they may not be able to return to Dong Town!"
"So, this is why I have no intention of sending troops to support the front line of Baishui Street." Zhang Tianhai said, "Then what does Brother Guo think the next step will be for Little Japan?"
"Besides reinforcing the 27th Division, I really can't think of anything else to do." Guo Qiliang said matter-of-factly. He believed that there was nothing to hide in front of the evildoer Zhang Yulin.
Well, there’s no shame in not being able to guess.
"It is inevitable that the Japanese army will reinforce the 27th Division. Only the 106th Division can provide support nearby, right? Only then will our fighter planes appear." Zhang Tianhai said with certainty and confidence.
"Let's see." Guo Qiliang smiled, trusting Zhang Tianhai's judgment, "But I think we still can't relax about Baishui Street. If Little Japan really breaks through Qilin Peak and then takes over Baishui Street , then we would be quite passive.”
"No. Just watch! Moreover, I have already placed four battalions in the north, ready to meet friendly forces. I already think highly of these little Japanese." Unlike Guo Qiliang and others, Zhang Tianhai comes from later generations. , he has strong self-confidence and knows that these Japanese troops are not invincible, but that the national army is too weak.
The time at this time was already September 24, 1938, and there was still one week left before the decisive battle at Wanjialing.
…
The camera turns to the Japanese army again.
Masaharu Honma took a big risk to make the next risky move. Will their situation be better? Not really.
In fact, when the Suzuki Regiment appeared at Qilin Peak, Lieutenant General Masaharu Honma, the division commander of the 27th Division, received very bad news—Nanping Mountain, a key area on the Ruibu Line, had Occupied by the national army!
"Baga! How could this happen!" Masaharu Honma was in a bad mood. After all, the location of Nanping Mountain was too dangerous. The place was occupied and their retreat was cut off!
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, now we have no time to worry about our retreat. All we have to do is try our best to capture Baishui Street, so that we can protect ourselves!" Chief of Staff Colonel Watanabe persuaded Honma Masaharu.
The expression on Honma Masaharu's face was still uncertain, and he was obviously weighing the pros and cons. After a long time, he said: "That's all, if the third regiment does not go to Qilin Peak, we can still guarantee our retreat, but Now, if we draw back the troops that attacked Qilin Peak, we will be very passive! We may even be in danger of being annihilated! Order Captain Suzuki Anxiong to capture Qilin Peak at all costs!"
As for why Honma Masaharu didn't allocate the troops attacking the front of the White Water Street defense line to consolidate the retreat? The reason is very simple. Once the frontal offensive troops are deployed to consolidate the rear route, there will be a dangerous situation - the frontline offensive force is insufficient, and the side advancing troops are besieged. By that time, the 27th Division will not only be unable to capture Baishui Street will suffer a big defeat!
To be honest, it is impossible for Masaharu Honma to have no objection to Okamura Neji's stupid move. If not, how could the 27th Division be besieged near Whitewater Street?
If Okamura Neiji hadn't insisted on making this move, how could the 27th Division have had to brave the risk of being surrounded and rush to Baishui Street?
Because of this, Honma Masaharu’s opinions on Commander Okamura Neiji are not ordinary!
"Hai!" Colonel Watanabe lowered his head and responded.
The 27th Division's retreat was cut off and it was besieged by six divisions of the National Army on Baishui Street. It was impossible for Masaharu Honma not to report this major incident.
As a result, an emergency telegram from the 27th Division was sent to the headquarters of the Eleventh Army Headquarters, and was directly delivered to the desk of Commander Neiji Okamura!
