Xu Dalong continued: "However, the goals of the operation are a bit too broad. It can be said that there is no focus, or it can be said that it is biting off more than it can chew. The troops of each army and each regiment face the Japanese army in different situations. If any unit cannot be able to do so on time,
Completing the combat plan will inevitably affect the operations of other departments. If any unit cannot stop the Japanese attack and abandons its defensive position, the Japanese army can join forces with other Japanese armies, and the battlefield situation will change.
If there is a reversal, it is very likely that the last situation will occur again.”
The chief of staff said: "That makes sense. What do you think can be done to improve it?"
Xu Dalong said: "Sirs, as the saying goes, it is better to cut off one of the ten fingers. The hardest blow to the Japanese army is the annihilation battle. Rather than defeating ten divisions, it is better to annihilate one Japanese brigade. I suggest that the plan for the entire campaign should be
Work around a definite goal.
In other words, the goal of the entire campaign was not to defeat the Japanese army, but to concentrate superior forces and select a brigade or even an infantry regiment of the Japanese army to completely annihilate them. This is a solid, real and effective result.
If every battle can kill an infantry regiment of the Japanese army, the Japanese army will simply not be able to bear it, and this will be a real heavy blow to the Japanese army."
The commander nodded and said: "That makes sense. The battle plan we formulated was indeed suspected of being too big and too empty. Every time, the expectations were too high. As a result, until the end of the battle, we were unable to complete the plan to annihilate the Japanese army, and the war situation would even be reversed.
Brother Dalong, since you have spoken to this extent, the Ninth War Zone is willing to modify the combat plan, and I also ask for your help to complete it."
The chief of staff said: "The commander is right, brother Dalong, what do you think should be the target of the Japanese army?"
Xu Dalong said: "In general, the combat plan formulated by the commander's department is very effective and does not require major modifications. According to the original combat plan, each ministry can choose the target to attack, which can contain the Japanese military strength.
The problem now is that our troop deployment is relatively scattered and we cannot form an absolute advantage over the Japanese army in a certain area.
Everyone, please come with me."
After Xu Dalong said this, he walked towards the battle map, and everyone gathered around him.
Xu Dalong said: "Look here: Yulong County. The Japanese army stationed here is the 24th Brigade of the 12th Division. I suggest choosing to annihilate the Japanese infantry brigade as the goal of this battle."
Wang Mingen racked his brains all day long to study the battle plan. He knew the situation of the Japanese 24th Brigade quite well and was also familiar with the terrain there.
He said with some confusion: "Brother Dalong, there is a Japanese infantry brigade on the left and right sides of the 24th Japanese Brigade, which are only a few dozen kilometers away from Yulong County.
If our army chooses the Japanese 24th Brigade as the combat target, the Japanese army will soon arrive with reinforcements as soon as the battle begins. Choosing the Japanese 24th Brigade as the target does not seem appropriate."
Everyone also cast questioning glances at Xu Long.
Xu Dalong said: "What Director Wang said makes sense. It is theoretically true. Indeed, the other main forces of the Japanese army are relatively close to Yulong County and can come for reinforcements at any time.
However, this is not necessarily the case. Please see, Yulong County is bounded by the Jianling area to the north and Yulong Mountain to the south. The terrain is very complicated. If our army directly sends powerful troops to occupy these two mountainous areas when the battle starts, we can
The Japanese 24th Brigade was separated from other Japanese troops."
The chief of staff looked at the map carefully, nodded and said: "That makes sense. After the battle started, our army could use the favorable terrain of these two mountains to completely block the Japanese reinforcements. Yulong County is a basin, and as long as our army
Having controlled the surrounding mountains, the Japanese 24th Brigade is the turtle in the urn, and it is entirely possible to annihilate it."
"Yes, yes, that makes sense." Everyone was talking about it.
The commander was very interested and said: "Brother Dalong, how do you think the battle plan should be adjusted?"
Xu Dalong said: "The original battle plan remains unchanged, and each ministry still launches attacks on the Japanese army according to their respective goals to contain the Japanese army's strength.
But when fighting, the main task is to feint the attack, but it must be fake and real to prevent the Japanese army from detecting our army's true intention.
Before the battle begins, our army should concentrate superior forces, such as four or more armies, to form an absolute advantage of more than eight to one over the Japanese army and ensure the completion of the encirclement and annihilation of the Japanese 24th Brigade.
In order to conceal the campaign plan, all units participating in the encirclement and annihilation of the Japanese army were deployed in an area 50 kilometers away from Yulong County, and a large number of military vehicles were concentrated. If not, a large number of civilian vehicles were requisitioned.
After the battle started, we marched along the highway at night and quickly surrounded Yulong County. Since our army adopted a mechanized march, even if the Japanese army became aware of our army's intentions, they would have no time to mobilize their troops.
After encircling Yulong County, they sent powerful troops to immediately occupy the mountains on the north and south sides and build defensive positions to block the Japanese reinforcements.
In this way, our army can calmly concentrate its superior forces and annihilate the Japanese 24th Brigade in one fell swoop."
Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.
The commander sincerely praised: "
After the battle started, it fully blossomed to distract the Japanese army. Using a long-distance attack method to suddenly surround the Japanese army in Yulong County, we can definitely catch the Japanese army by surprise. Okay, what a good idea."
The chief of staff said: "It is indeed a good idea, I agree."
Everyone also discussed it and believed that the plan had clear goals, powerful measures and was practical and feasible.
The commander said decisively: "Revise the battle plan according to this opinion."
The chief of staff said: "I understand." Then the chief's department immediately became busy.
A week later, according to the new combat plan, the Ninth War Zone was fully prepared and officially launched a counterattack against the Japanese army.
As soon as the battle began, various units of the Guo army launched a fierce attack on the Japanese army.
The Japanese troops were suddenly attacked by the Guojun troops and were in a hurry. They first organized defenses and then prepared to counterattack the Guojun troops.
The Chief of the Ninth Theater District concentrated the main force of the 18th Corps, including the 18th Army and the 19th Corps. The total strength was six corps, as well as the directly subordinate artillery brigade, totaling 138,000 people. After a mechanized march, the Japanese army was suddenly defeated.
The 24th Brigade surrounded and immediately launched an attack on the Japanese army.
At this time, the Japanese army truly understood the combat plan of the ninth theater. They hurriedly mobilized troops to rescue the 24th Brigade.
Troops from the two armies of the Guo Army occupied the mountainous areas on the north and south sides of Yulong County respectively to block the Japanese reinforcements.
The 18th Army and four other armies and the directly subordinate artillery brigade launched a fierce attack on the Japanese 24th Brigade.
In order to fight a beautiful battle, the Ninth War Zone made full preparations this time. The number of artillery pieces participating in the battle reached more than 400, with sufficient ammunition.
After fierce bombardment, the Japanese defensive positions were basically destroyed. Immediately afterwards, more than 90,000 Korean soldiers launched a fierce attack on the remaining troops of the Japanese 24th Brigade.
The Japanese army simply could not withstand such a fierce attack. Less than an hour after the battle began, the troops of the 18th Army broke through the Japanese defensive positions and then advanced in depth.
Troops from other armies of the Fruit Army also broke through the Japanese defensive positions one after another. Soon the Japanese army was divided into several pieces. After four and a half hours of fierce fighting, the Fruit Army completely annihilated the 24th Japanese Infantry Brigade, including the brigade.
More than 8,700 officers and soldiers, including the regiment commander, achieved a brilliant victory.
An entire Japanese infantry brigade was wiped out, and their entire front was shaken.
Under attack from various units of the Guo army, they retreated while fighting until they were 30 kilometers away before reorganizing their defense.
The Guo Army regained a large area of land. During the battle, other regiments and armies of the Guo Army also achieved greater results. The entire counterattack wiped out more than 20,500 Japanese troops and recovered a large area including 12 counties.
.
This was a brilliant victory. The anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians in the rear areas were overjoyed and held a grand celebration.
The Ninth War Zone received high praise from the Committee, and the commander, chief of staff and others were very satisfied with Xu Dalong.
At the celebration banquet, the commander-in-chief said: "Brother Dalong, thank you for your help to the ninth theater. If you have any requests, please feel free to ask."
Xu Dalong is a real person, no matter how much praise others give him, it means little to him.
He smiled and said: "Thank you, Commander. I am a greedy person. He just likes the ocean. Please give me some more rewards, Commander."
The commander laughed loudly after hearing this and said on the spot that he would reward Xu Dalong with another 300,000 yuan.
He told Xu Dalong that Xu Dalong will always be a friend of the Ninth War Zone. If there is any need in the future, he will try his best to help as long as he can.
Xu Dalong and others completed their mission to Chongqing and were ready to return to the Mawushan Military Division.
This time Lin Xueying was going back with Xu Dalong. Before leaving, she returned home to say goodbye to her parents.
This morning, Xu Dalong and others were waiting for Lin Xueying to come over for breakfast at the reception office of the Ninth War Zone, and then returned to the Mawushan base together.
They waited for a while and saw that it was already past breakfast time and Lin Xueying still did not appear.
Xu Dalong felt a little uneasy, so he picked up the phone and called Lin Xueying's home.
I couldn't get through the phone at all, the line was always busy.
Xu Dalong had no choice but to wait for a while before dialing again. Just as he put down the phone, the phone rang rapidly.
After receiving the call, Xu Dalong looked pale and said to Monk Wei: "You should immediately bring a squad of soldiers with me."
Soon after, Xu Dalong and others came to a shopping mall and saw many military and police personnel there. There was a bullet-riddled car parked on the road in front of the shopping mall. Next to the car, there were two stretchers with
A corpse covered with white cloth.
Seeing Xu Dalong and others coming, Lin Xueying hurriedly came forward. With tears in her eyes, she said: "Brother Dalong, we were attacked by Japanese special forces, and Wang Xun and the others died."
Wang Xun is a squad leader of the special operations squadron. These days, he and a soldier have been responsible for protecting Lin Xueying.
This morning, Lin Xueying said goodbye to her family, and went with Wang Xun and others to the reception office of the World War II District Chief's Department to meet Xu Dalong. Unexpectedly, they came out of the military headquarters' family home, and as soon as they arrived here, they suddenly encountered Rite's
As a result, Wang Xun and the soldier were shot and sacrificed in order to cover Lin Xueying. Thanks to the nearby Guojun patrol team after hearing the gunfire, Rite evacuated hastily.
Xu Dalong, Wei Monk and others followed Lin Xueying to the bodies of Wang Xun and others. Everyone was very sad to see their close comrades sacrificed.
Soon after, You Yukun and others rushed over after receiving the report.
After conducting an on-site investigation, he said to Xu Dalong: "Brother Dalong, I'm afraid this matter is aimed at you. Their goal is to kidnap Miss Lin and then blackmail you."
You Yukun's analysis is very reasonable. Xu Dalong came to Chongqing this time and participated in two wars. For the purpose of publicity, the underground party agreed to allow newspapers and media to interview Xu Dalong.
Xu Dalong was originally a target of Japanese special attention. When he appeared in Chongqing, the Japanese army took action against him.
Xu Dalong was protected by special forces when he went out, and he rarely went out except for meetings in the 9th War Zone. Rit could not find an opportunity to attack him for a while.
Rite had already learned about the close relationship between Lin Xueying and Xu Dalong, so they wanted to capture Lin Xueying and blackmail Xu Dalong. Perhaps it was because they wanted to capture her alive that Lin Xueying survived.
Xu Dalong is now a famous anti-Japanese hero. Something like this happened in Chongqing. As the director of the Military Counterintelligence Division, You Yukun was under great pressure.
He said: "Brother Dalong, since Japan is targeting you, I think you should leave Chongqing with Miss Lin quickly and return to your base. Let me handle the matters here."
Xu Dalong said angrily: "The little devil brutally killed our brothers in the special force. I must avenge this.
I will go ask my superiors for instructions and continue to stay in Chongqing to catch those Japanese special elements with you. This time I will teach them a profound lesson and severely combat their arrogance."
Chongqing is a key target of Japanese special forces. Last time, Xu Dalong and the army jointly destroyed the intelligence organization of the island country. They quickly re-arranged people to lurk in Chongqing. The activities have been quite rampant in recent times.
Not only did they spy on intelligence, they also carried out assassinations, arson and other sabotage activities, causing people to panic.
When You Yukun saw Xu Dalong coming to Chongqing, he was hoping that he could help him destroy the Japanese special intelligence organization. Now that Japanese special forces directly targeted Xu Dalong, Xu Dalong also expressed that he would stay and work with him to crack down on the Japanese special intelligence organization. You Yukun's mood
I suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
In You Yukun's mind, Xu Dalong is a remarkable figure. He not only had a brilliant record in the war against Japan, but also had his own unique abilities in espionage work.
Xu Dalong controls a quite large intelligence network, and his talent was demonstrated when he cracked down on the Japanese special organization last time. You Yukun hopes to cooperate with him.
