Chapter 1409 The Battle of Changsha (32)

In fact, you can't blame Xia Chuzhong for his lack of quality. The key is that the theater guard troops withdrew too quickly - from his point of view, the theater guard troops were originally responsible for guarding their 79th Army and the 3rd Army.

The people on the rear flank of the Thirty-seventh Army disappeared in this battle. Isn’t this a deception?

In fact, not long after Xia Chuzhong finished scolding him, he received a telegram from the commander of the theater——

"Sir, there is an urgent message from the Commander-in-Chief!" the adjutant trotted to Xia Chuzhong's side to report.

"Nian." Xia Chuzhong stood on the street of Changle Town, looking like he was gritting his teeth.

The security forces in this war zone have been ordered to evacuate Changle Street. According to the order, your troops will quickly evacuate to Qingshanpu. After arriving at the location, build a defense line on the spot. Make sure to make corresponding preparations for the retreat of the army and the safety of Changsha." The adjutant said.

"Nang Xipi's war zone security troops withdrew again? They ran so damn fast!" Xia Chuzhong cursed a few more times, then got into his military Jeep off-road vehicle and walked all the way towards Qingshanpu.

As for the issue of the rear troops, Xia Chuzhong had not cared about it, because according to the plan of the group army commander-in-chief Guan Linzheng, the 52nd Army, his starting unit, was responsible for the rear affairs, and they could just act according to the plan.

Sitting on the off-road vehicle, Xia Chuzhong looked at the gray sky and felt a sense of sadness in his heart: Could it be that Changsha will fall this time? How many troops did the Japanese army dispatch?

The real battlefield is not like the God's perspective opened in the novel. In fact, they can only rely on a little bit of information to judge the movements and situations of the Japanese army - for example, this time the Japanese troops went south, they were in a hurry

Responding to the challenge, they resisted through the fortifications they had built previously. They were not very clear about the specific movements of the Japanese army and the strength of their dispatched troops. They only knew that the enemy in front of them was the Japanese 6th Division, and the Japanese army that sneaked into the camp was the Japanese 3rd Division.

In reality, when the camp was lost, the defenders died and ran away. The surviving defenders could only report: the Japs, the Japs all over the mountains and plains, they landed from Dongting Lake, their combat effectiveness

Very fierce.

It can be seen from this that in fact, most of the national army did not know the details of the opponent when they fought with the Japanese army. However, the Japanese army, because their intelligence department did a much better job than the intelligence department of the national army, so they were able to

They probably know the situation and details of the National Army, and they caught the "Tongue" during the attack and asked them, so the National Army is relatively passive.

But there is only one person left who is a variable, and that is Zhang Tianhai.

Zhang Tianhai is a time traveler. He can rely on the remaining memories of his previous life to know the situation of the enemy in front of him: anyway, the enemy in front of him is only one and a half divisions. If the 33rd Division is added, it will only be two and a half divisions.

Perhaps because he knows the opponent's situation, Zhang Tianhai always has a calmness and stability in his arrangements and actions, while others cannot - because none of the military commanders of other armies have a well-equipped and well-equipped army like Zhang Tianhai.

The key to this unit with extremely strong combat effectiveness is that Zhang Tianhai has defeated the Japanese army several times and has no such thing as "Japanese phobia".

Even Xue Yue, the commander-in-chief of the theater, could only judge and discuss the movement and size of the Japanese army with Chief of Staff Wu Yizhi through various signs. It must be said that Xue Yue and Wu Yizhi are both extremely talented people, otherwise they would not be able to do it.

This position - especially when it comes to judging the enemy's troops, they are quite accurate, and then use the more accurate judgment to block the Japanese army's movements, detect their moves, and set traps for them at the same time.

Try to inflict a major blow on this part of the enemy force.

It can only be said that war is indeed a very profound art, the bottomless one...

…

The day after the fall of Cao Xie Ridge, that is, September 26, 1939, the main force of the Japanese Sixth Division, together with part of the Shangcun detachment, jointly attacked the main force of the 52nd Army on the south bank of the Miluo River.

Zhang Yaoming, commander of the 52nd Army, is not a fool. He also knows that under the attack from both sides by the Japanese army, his unit may not be able to withstand it for too long. When the time limit of blocking the attack is completed, they will evacuate.

——The 52nd Army is not only the starting force of Commander Guan Linzheng, but also the main force of the 15th Group Army. If it is completely wiped out by the Japanese troops on the south bank of the Miluo River, it will definitely be a heavy loss, and Zhang Yaoming will also suffer the same.

Belong to the group of national sinners.

"Telegram to the Commander-in-Chief and tell him that we were attacked from two sides by the main forces of the Japanese Sixth Division and the Uemura detachment of the Japanese Third Division. The troops suffered heavy casualties. We request the commander to approve our unit's retreat on time after completing the mission."

Zhang Yaoming said in a deep voice.

"Yes! Sir!" the adjutant responded.

In fact, most of the troops fighting fiercely with the Japanese on the north bank of the Xinqiang River were from the 52nd Army, while the 79th and 37th Army were fighting against small groups of troops from the Sixth Division.

The purpose of these troops was to contain the strength of the national army, so that the main force of the Sixth Division could tear a hole in the defense line responsible for the 52nd Army, and then drive straight in.

At this time, Guan Linzheng had already withdrawn with his troops to Shendingshan Town in the south of Miluo County, and even his headquarters was set up here.

Guan Linzheng was holding the telegram requesting instructions that Zhang Yaoming had just called from him. His head hurt. He also knew that according to Zhang Yaoming's temper, he would never complain casually unless it was absolutely necessary.

"Reply: Please insist on retreating until tomorrow, otherwise battlefield discipline will be enforced!" Guan Linzheng finally relented.

"Yes! Sir!!" the adjutant responded.

…

When Guan Linzheng, Zhang Yaoming and others were worried about the situation on the Miluo River, Zhang Tianhai had indeed arrived at a small village on the south bank of the Laodao River.

At this time, Zhang Tianhai was lying on the table, writing and drawing on the map on the table, in order to prepare for a counterattack.

Yes, it is to prepare for counterattack. If calculated according to time, the day when the Japanese army will retreat is not far away. If we don't make preparations, the little Japanese will run away!
