Hearing that the Japanese were going to launch a new round of attack on Wujiashan, Xu Rui immediately held a combat meeting. Gao Chu was the first to speak, but he did not offer any useful suggestions or ideas, and instead went to flatter Xu Rui and Wang Husheng.
, several battalion commanders couldn't help but sneer, saying that Gao Chu's fighting skills were not very good, but his flattering skills were greatly improved, and he definitely had the potential to get involved in politics.
Xu Rui coughed lightly and said, "I asked you to speak just to brainstorm. War cannot be won by one person. Otherwise, if I, Xu Rui, conquer the world by myself, what else would I do with everyone?"
"Hehe..." Gao Chu said with a smile: "Captain, if you say so, I really have some ideas."
"If you have anything to say, kid, just say it," Wang Husheng said.
"Political Commissar, how about I take a force to Harbin or Xinjing to fight for a while, disrupt the enemy's rear and cut off the supply lines. In this way, the enemy's crusade will be in vain," Gao Chu said.
He Shuya shook his head and said: "As the old saying goes, do it again and again, not again and again. Yamashita Fengwen has suffered several losses when we cut off the logistics supply line. He will definitely strengthen the protection of the logistics supply line. Moreover, the Japanese army
With sufficient troops, we can completely ensure the smooth flow of its logistics supply lines. I am afraid that the method mentioned by Lao Gao will be difficult to implement."
"Then let's wait and wait for the Japs to attack, use the terrain to continuously consume the Japs' troops, shrink the position, and finally launch a counterattack." Gao Chu said.
"I'm afraid it won't work. I heard that the Japanese are determined to fight a protracted war with us this time, and the Japanese have more than 100,000 troops, and we only have 5,000 troops. If we use our strength, we are no match for the Japanese. Even if the Japanese use ten
We can't afford to replace one of us," Huang Shouxin said.
"This won't work, that won't work either, so what do you guys think we should do?" Gao Chu said with a frown.
Everyone was silent. Xu Rui looked at his favorite generals. He was quite satisfied with the argument just now. It seems that after these years of hard work, He Shuya, Huang Shouxin and others have really matured. Gao Chu
Their thinking is also much broader than before. They use divergent thinking to view and solve problems. They have really grown a lot.
Xu Rui looked at He Shuya. He Shuya was the most like him among all the people. I wonder what he had in mind. Thinking of this, Xu Rui said: "Bookworm, tell me what you really think."
He Shuya said: "This seems to be the third large-scale attack on Wujiashan Fortress by the Japs. Since we were able to defeat the Japs several times before, we can do the same this time. It's just that we have always used the method of destroying the enemy's supply lines before.
The Japanese have suffered losses several times, but this time I am afraid that they attach great importance to the logistics supply line. It will be difficult to make them suffer losses again. I think we can try to divide and attack them."
"Divide and strike?" Everyone looked at He Shuya.
He Shuya said: "Instead of waiting for the Japanese to attack, we should take the initiative and let them come in any direction. I will only go all the way! Concentrate our strength, eat the Japanese troops one by one, and finally defeat them completely."
After hearing what He Shuya said, Xu Rui felt very happy. He Shuya's thoughts coincided with his own. He was really becoming more and more like himself.
He Shuya went on to say: "In the battle between Nurhaci in the Later Jin Dynasty and Sarhu in the Ming Dynasty, 400,000 Ming troops attacked Nurhachi in four groups, while Nurhachi concentrated his 60,000 Jin soldiers in one group, taking advantage of the combat effectiveness of the soldiers.
, defeated the four Ming armies respectively, and this battle also became a turning point between the Ming Dynasty and Hou Jin Dynasty. The current situation is similar to that of the Battle of Sarhu. Although the Japs are large in number, their forces are scattered. We can definitely
Take advantage of the quality of our soldiers and weapons to defeat them one by one. In this way, we can keep the enemy outside the country, and we can crush the Japanese's crusade before they come to Wujiashan."
After He Shuya finished speaking, he took a sip of water, then crossed his fingers, twirled them, and looked at everyone.
"The idea of being a nerd is not a bad idea. You can also quote classics. It's because you are so good at reading. I didn't think of it." Gao Chu said sarcastically.
Huang Shouxin also said: "What the nerd said is a good idea, and I agree with his idea."
Everyone's eyes turned to Xu Rui. There were thousands of people in the family and one person in charge. No matter what everyone said, Xu Rui could only make the final decision.
Xu Rui felt very comfortable in his heart. He Shuya had really matured and was becoming more and more like himself. This apprentice should be ready to start teaching now. His thoughts coincided with his.
Thinking of this, Xu Rui asked: "Do you have any other different opinions?"
Everyone shook their heads. Obviously, no one could think of a better way than the nerd.
Xu Rui said: "The nerd's method is very good, and it is also the best strategy for our army at present. However, although the Japs are divided into four groups, each group has at least 20,000 troops, and our army on Wujia Mountain
The total number of troops is only more than 5,000. Excluding the troops left behind, the maximum number of troops our army can use is only 3,000. It is also very difficult to use 3,000 to shake the Japanese's 20,000."
Everyone's eyes darkened. It would be extremely difficult for 3,000 people to defeat 20,000 people. It seemed that this anti-punitive campaign was destined to be a fierce battle. I wonder if the leader had any other good ideas.
Xu Rui glanced at everyone, and then said: "Although our army has a small number of troops, it also has advantages. First of all, our soldiers are veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles, and their quality is better than that of the Japanese.
Secondly, our army now has thousands of war horses, which can ensure that the attacking troops have one man and one horse, plus enough pack horses. In this way, our army has high mobility and can find the enemy's weaknesses in the shortest time and attack them.
Thirdly, the individual weapons and equipment of our army are far superior to those of the Japs. The Japs now generally use the 38-gun, while most of our troops have replaced them with Soviet-style submachine guns, which can completely suppress the Japs in terms of firepower density. As long as we
As long as the battle is sudden and close to the enemy, there is still a high possibility of success.
In the end, we do not want to wipe out all the more than 100,000 Japanese, but just defeat them, or eliminate some of them, and crush the Japanese's crusade against the Wujiashan Fortress. At the worst, we can also retreat to the Soviet Union, so there is no need to
It’s too much of a psychological burden.”
After listening to Xu Rui's words, the big stone weighing on everyone's heart seemed to be much smaller.
Xu Rui continued: "Now, we have to see how the Japs will make moves. See you again and again. As long as everyone works together, I believe we will defeat the Japs' crusade. Let's all go back and train well and prepare well. Eat and drink well."
Fight this battle well!"
"yes……"
Harbin, the headquarters of the Japanese Far East Front, Yamashita Fengfumi received news one after another that the 1st Division, 4th Division, and 18th Division had landed at Lushun Pass on the Bohai Bay and were advancing towards the Wujiashan Fortress. At the same time,
The 25th Division has arrived near Yanji, and the 47th Division has arrived near Hunchun, preparing to launch an attack on Wujiashan Fortress.
After hearing the news, Yamashita Fengwen took a long breath and said: "Order all divisions to speed up their advance, cooperate with each other, and arrive in Hunchun as soon as possible. In addition, order the 32nd Division, 37th Division, and 46th Division to
The 48th Division acted simultaneously to protect the supply lines ahead."
A staff officer said: "Your Excellency, Marshal, we use five divisions for the offensive, but there are four divisions used for the logistics supply line. Are there too many troops used to protect the logistics?"
Yamashita Fengwen said: "Not much at all. The reason why our army failed several times was because of problems with the logistics supply line. This time, we must protect the logistics supply line. Moreover, Xu Rui is good at sneak attacks on logistics supplies, so we
Just dig a big hole for him. As long as he dares to sneak attack, our surrounding troops will arrive in the shortest possible time and destroy him!"
Inoue Haruzhi knew that Yamashita Fengfumi was frightened by Xu Rui's tactics of sneak attack on logistics, so he used half of his troops to defend the logistics supply line. However, Inoue Haruyuki still agreed with Yamashita Fengfumi's approach. Logistics supply plays an important role in modern warfare.
Its role cannot be overemphasized.
"Marshal, the 47th Division of our army has arrived near Hunchun. The division commander Seto Tatsumasa requested instructions for the next step."
After hearing this, Inoue Haruyuki interjected: "Your Excellency, Marshal, Xu Rui is very good at catching fighter planes and has formed a local advantage. You should immediately order the 25th Division to stop advancing to avoid Xu Rui's ambush and ask him to wait for other troops near Hunchun.
Just come."
Yamashita Fengwen nodded and said: "Immediately order Seto Tatsumasa to stop advancing and not go deep alone to avoid being ambushed by Xu Rui. Wait for the 25th Division, the 1st Division, the 4th Division, and the 18th Division
The main force of the regiment will launch the attack after arriving in Hunchun."
"Hai..."
Near Hunchun, the Japanese 25th Division was advancing continuously, not far from Wujiashan in front. Seto Tatsumasa was very proud that his troops were the first to arrive near Wujiashan. It seemed that this was the credit for eliminating Xu Rui.
It will fall on your own head.
Seto Tatsumasa had just been transferred from China to be the division commander of the 25th Division. He had not fought against Xu Rui. Although he had heard about some of Xu Rui's achievements, Seto Tatsumasa thought it was an exaggeration.
No matter how powerful he is, there are limits. Other Japanese soldiers must be afraid of the enemy, so they exaggerated Xu Rui's power, but I don't believe it.
In this crusade, according to intelligence, Xu Rui only had 5,000 soldiers, while the Japanese army had five of the most elite divisions fighting on the front line alone, with more than 100,000 troops. There were also four divisions responsible for logistics support. The total number of troops participating in the war was
Reaching more than 200,000 people, Seto Tatsumasa was very unconcerned. He felt that Marshal Yamashita Fengfumi had become so timid. To deal with an army of 5,000 people, no matter how powerful it was, there was no need to use 20 soldiers.
An army of tens of thousands.
Now, his 20,000-strong army has arrived near Hunchun. If he wiped out Xu Rui alone, everyone would look at him with admiration. But at this moment, Yamashita Fengwen's telegram was placed in front of him...
