Belonging to Northern Jiangsu
In the temporary headquarters of the East China Field Army, with the launch of three signal bombs, the troops' counterattack officially began. In the huge headquarters, almost everyone's face showed a look of expectation. Everyone looked forward eagerly, waiting for this decisive battle.
Final Results….
Time passed like this amidst the rumbling gunfire in Huai'an City. Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua was standing at the lookout, holding up a telescope, staring motionless at the passage illuminated by gunfire a few kilometers away.
On the bright battlefield, when I was hoping to see something, a burst of rapid footsteps reached everyone's ears.
In an instant, almost everyone in the entire command center stopped what they were doing at the same time. Then, they set their sights on the entrance of the command department.
"The commander-in-chief, political commissar, chief of staff, and deputy commander of the frontier Wang telegraphed that after half an hour of fierce attack, our offensive troops have completely occupied the Japanese outer positions. At present, our assault troops are attacking the Japanese and puppet troops at the fastest speed.
Develop the position in depth..." Under everyone's gaze, the combat staff reported excitedly.
"Good fight. Send a telegram back to Commander Wang and try to separate all the Japanese and puppet troops outside the city before dawn..." After a brief excitement, Liu Hua gave a decisive order...
Looking at the combat staff who left quickly, the Political Commissar *** standing next to Liu Hua, who was also excited, said happily: "Commander-in-Chief, I didn't expect that the battle situation was progressing so smoothly. According to the development speed of each combat unit,
, it is only a matter of time to completely annihilate the hundreds of thousands of Japanese and puppet troops in the encirclement..."
"The political commissar is right... Commander-in-chief, I also agree with the political commissar's idea. The entire northern Jiangsu area will soon belong to our East China Field Army..." Chief of Staff Zuo Quan also said in agreement.
However, what is unexpected is that the commander-in-chief Liu Hua at this moment, after the brief excitement just now, is not as confident about the future of this decisive battle as everyone imagined. Just as the two partners finished speaking
, a look of worry slowly appeared on Liu Hua's face.
You must know that the entire Northern Jiangsu region is not only an occupied area operated by the Japanese army for several years, but also the supply place for about one-third of the logistics supplies of the entire Central China Front Army. More importantly, the entire Northern Jiangsu region directly overlooks the Central China Front Army Headquarters.
The city of Nanjing where it is located...such an important piece of land, coupled with the historical desire of the old Japanese commander Matsui Iwane of the Central China Front for land. Liu Hua vaguely felt in his heart that the decisive battle in front of him, even if he won in the end,
It does not mean that the entire northern Jiangsu region has completely fallen into the hands of the East China Field Army.
Ever since, under this thought, a faint uneasiness slowly emerged in Liu Hua's mind. However, seeing the people around him who were full of expectations for the future, Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua did not speak out about this unknown hidden danger.
, destroying everyone's confidence. Instead, they hide it in their own hearts, secretly thinking about possible changes and solutions.
In the headquarters of the Central China Front Army in Nanjing City, the East China Field Army had just completed the siege of hundreds of thousands of Japanese and puppet troops in the Huai'an area. General Matsui Iwane, the top commander of the Japanese Army's Central China Front Army, who had been paying attention to the war in Northern Jiangsu, immediately learned about his number
The dangerous situation of a hundred thousand troops.
At this moment, General Matsui Iwane's mentality was indeed as Liu Hua analyzed. He was not willing to accept hundreds of thousands of troops being annihilated in Huai'an City. He was also unwilling to accept that the northern Jiangsu area that he had managed for several years could be so easily destroyed.
It fell into the hands of the East China Field Army.
Of course, it is one thing to be unwilling in your heart, but it is another thing to actually do it. For the war in Huai'an, coupled with the imperial army's major counterattack against the Japanese organization two months ago, what I have in my hands
Almost all the hundreds of thousands of elite troops were mobilized. At this time, General Matsui Iwane had to fall into the embarrassing situation of having no troops to mobilize.
"Bageya Road, you cunning Chinese people, why did you launch an attack on northern Jiangsu when I had no troops to mobilize..." Facing the Huai'an area, the chief of staff sent one telegram after another asking for help. He was at his wits' end.
General Matsui Iwane had to vent his anger on the combat staff in front of him.
"Who can tell me how to save the current situation in northern Jiangsu..." After a burst of curses, Matsui Iwane stared at a pair of eyes that could almost kill people and asked the silent combat staff in front of him.
In the quiet war room, just when everyone thought that no one would speak, a young combat staff unexpectedly stood up and spoke under the incredulous eyes of everyone.
"Your Excellency, Commander, I have something to say..."
"explain…."
"Ha Yi, I humbly believe that our army is besieged in the Huai'an area with hundreds of thousands of troops. Instead of defending Huai'an, it is better to take the initiative to break out and abandon the entire northern Jiangsu area..." the combat staff replied in a low voice.
However, just as he finished speaking, a senior combat staff officer decisively interrupted him, and then cursed loudly:
"Baga, you are so damned, you dare to disturb the morale of the army. Your Excellency, the Commander, just said the importance of the Northern Jiangsu area to our Central China Front Army, and there is absolutely no room for any mistakes. In less than ten minutes,
You actually suggested that our army should voluntarily abandon the northern Jiangsu region. Your Excellency, Commander, I humbly suggest that you impose military law on Mr. Nakamura immediately..."
Unexpectedly, at this moment, General Matsui Iwane did not get angry at Major Nakamura who dared to disobey his orders as everyone imagined. Instead, he cursed with an unhappy expression at the Lieutenant Colonel who had just spoken.
"You bastard, do you have any good ideas? If there is no other way, just shut your mouth. Otherwise, I will let the guards outside tell you how to shut your mouth..."
After a burst of angry scolding, under everyone's incredulous eyes, he said with encouragement to Major Nakamura, who had just proposed to veto his order:
"Nakamura-kun, continue talking. If your method can really save the bad situation in northern Jiangsu, not only will I not punish you, but I will reward you. In this way, if it can solve the current predicament of our army, I will be promoted immediately.
You serve as deputy chief of staff of our Central China Front Army, and your military rank is directly promoted to colonel..."
"Ha Yi, thank you Commander for your trust..." Major Nakamura's face was immediately shrouded in excitement. After a brief reflection, he spoke.
"Your Excellency, Commander, I humbly believe that without reinforcements, the hundreds of thousands of troops I have gathered in the Huai'an area can only hold on for two days at most. By then, the entire northern Jiangsu area will be devastated because there are no troops to mobilize.
, completely fell into the hands of the East China Field Army. More importantly, the city of Nanjing, which has a tight military strength, will also be threatened by the East China Field Army..."
Seeing everyone nodding in agreement, Major Nakamura continued to speak.
"If our army voluntarily abandons the northern Jiangsu area and orders our army in the Huai'an area to break out. Even if the East China Field Army temporarily occupies the northern Jiangsu area, our army's breakout force can build a solid defensive position in the area north of Nanjing to block the east.
The field army's offensive ensures the safety of Nanjing City..."
"However, voluntarily giving up the northern Jiangsu region, in addition to ensuring the safety of Nanjing City, the entire northern Jiangsu region will eventually fall into the hands of the East China Field Army..." General Matsui Iwane was obviously not very satisfied with this result, and was still adamant.
He asked with an unwilling face.
Perhaps Major Nakamura had already known that the commander in front of him would ask this question. Just as General Matsui Iwane finished speaking, Major Nakamura answered: "Your Excellency, Commander, as long as our army can break through with more than half of its troops,
It is impossible for the entire northern Jiangsu region to fall into the hands of the East China Field Army..."
"Um? Tell me what you think..." General Matsui Iwane's face clearly showed a hint of excitement. Then, he asked with a look of anticipation.
"Your Excellency, Commander, after several years of operation, some people in northern Jiangsu and the Dafa expatriates living in northern Jiangsu have fully recognized the dominance of our Dafa Imperial Army. On this basis, we can
, some elite imperial troops were mobilized from the breakout troops and dispersed in small teams. In the northern Jiangsu area, they fought an unprecedented guerrilla war with the East China Field Army, treating others with their own methods.
, completely dragging the main force of the East China Field Army into the northern Jiangsu area..."
"In addition, in the process of using guerrilla warfare to trap the enemy, we can also mobilize the elites of the frontline imperial army to immediately return to support the northern Jiangsu area. After the main force of our army arrives, our Central China Front Army can move the guerrillas in the northern Jiangsu area.
With their cooperation, we can retake Northern Jiangsu..." Major Nakamura said with excitement.
For a time, the entire battle once again fell into silence. Everyone was staring at the battle map in front of them with concentration, thinking about the specific feasibility of this method.
After a brief period of contemplation, General Matsui Iwane's face was slowly enveloped in excitement. Then, he ordered with a smile on his face.
"Yoshi, very good. Mr. Nakamura, you are worthy of being a top student at our Imperial Army School. Now, I will appoint you as the deputy chief of staff of our Central China Front Army, with the rank of colonel. At the same time, I order you to lead the staff,
In the shortest possible time, perfect your battle plan..."
"Ha Yi, thank you Commander for your trust. I promise to complete the mission and live up to the trust of Commander..." As soon as Matsui Iwane finished speaking, Major Nakamura promised loudly in the envious eyes of all his colleagues.
.
"Yoshi, the time left by the China Army is running out for us. In an hour, I hope to see a complete combat plan..." After saying that, Matsui Iwane walked out of the war room.
