Bourne: Command and Conquer

Chapter 1305, need a victory

The 184th Division of the Yunnan Army was also on the Songhu battlefield.

On the southern line. Belongs to Zhang Fakui's right-wing regiment. Attached to the 10th Army.

exist.

Not quite there.

Although it was on the Songhu battlefield. But the fighting was not intense.

The right wing corps is responsible for defending the area south of the Suzhou River. Until the seaside. In fact, it is south of the concession. There is also the Huangpu River in the middle.

Some Japanese invaders also launched attacks from here. But there are not many troops. The attack is not violent either.

Therefore, the troops under the 8th and 10th Group Armies, which were affiliated to the Right Wing Corps, were constantly being transferred, and in the end there were only two empty shells left.

Now, the troops Zhang Fakui can command may only be a few divisions. Thirty to forty thousand people.

Just get used to Chiang Kai-shek's usual routine.

rob Peter to pay Paul.

Headache doctor. Treat foot pain.

Zhang Fakui also knew that he was a clay sculpture commander.

On Chiang Kai-shek's territory, it was not his turn to make a real decision.

Therefore, he never asked about the operations of the headquarters. I was in Songjiang City and couldn't hear what was going on outside the window.

"Commissioner."

"Commissioner."

Zhang Yong came to the headquarters of the 184th Division and unexpectedly discovered that Rao Guohua, commander of the 145th Division of the Sichuan Army, was also there.

It turned out that the 145th Division of the Sichuan Army was also assigned to the southern front.

I vaguely felt that it was not a coincidence.

Lao Jiang may be worried about something.

Don't dare to place too many local faction troops in key positions.

On the one hand, they are worried that the combat effectiveness of these miscellaneous troops will not be able to take on important tasks. On the other hand, I am also worried that the chickens in the cage will rebel.

On the battlefield, it can happen at any time. Chiang Kai-shek himself was an expert in conspiracy. Naturally, he worries that others will imitate him.

Building trust is hard. But it breaks down very easily.

"Hello."

Zhang Yong nodded. Shake hands one by one.

Unexpectedly, there are actually two divisions of fresh troops in the south.

Chiang Kai-shek's tricks are really fascinating.

Why not deploy the 184th Division and the 145th Division to key battlefields?

Instead of deploying 100 troops (230 divisions)?

Is it because the commanders of these two divisions are not Huangpu students, so they can't be trusted?

"How's the situation?"

"The Japanese invaders launched an attack yesterday, at the brigade level, but we repulsed it."

"What are the troop casualties?"

"fine."

Both gave the same answer.

Zhang Yong then understood that the troops should not suffer too many casualties.

It is incomparable to the battles at Luodian and Dachang. The intensity of the Japanese attack was not high.

This is not the main direction of the Japanese invaders' attack. Investing less troops.

However, the national army is still passively defensive. They kept waiting for the Japanese invaders to attack.

I didn't think of taking the initiative at all.

no.

We cannot sit still and wait for death.

Since the enemy can attack, so can we.

At the beginning, wasn't it the national army that launched the first attack? It's just that I didn't succeed in taking down the target.

Now…

"What kind of troops are we next to?"

"To the north is the local security group. To the south is the 62nd Division. The division commander is called Tao Guang."

"What else?"

"No more. Now there are only three of our divisions left in the entire right-wing corps."

"oh…"

Zhang Yong began to think about it.

The 184th Division of the Yunnan Army was under his direct command.

The 145th Division of the Sichuan Army can be temporarily commanded, and there won't be much of a problem. As long as you can win, it's a small matter.

That's right. What is needed most on the Songhu battlefield now is victory.

Chiang Kai-shek desperately needed a victory. To prove that he did not make a mistake. It is not wrong to go on the offensive.

Because the Battle of Songhu took a turn for the worse, many people within the Kuomintang Party were already criticizing Chiang Kai-shek for his reckless behavior. As a result, he was very passive.

"Commander Rao, from now on, you will obey my command." Zhang Yong said bluntly.

"Yes." Rao Guohua did not ask in detail.

He knew that Zhang Yong was solely responsible for the Luodian war on the northern front.

Now that we have come to the southern front, we may have accepted secret orders from the high command. The so-called headquarters is actually Chiang Kai-shek.

All decisions were made by Chiang Kai-shek. Everyone else is just making up the numbers.

To listen to Zhang Yong is to listen to Chiang Kai-shek. This Zhang Yong was one of Chiang Kai-shek's most favored confidants.

For many things, Chiang Kai-shek did not go through formal channels. Just get used to it.

"Order the troops to prepare for battle."

"yes."

"We don't have many Japanese invaders in front of us. I'm going to launch a counterattack. Eat them all."

"this…"

Rao Guohua turned his head and looked at Zhou Chong.

I found that Zhou Chong was also a little surprised and turned to look at him.

Obviously, they were not mentally prepared for Zhang Yong's proposal. It came a bit suddenly.

"We have to be proactive. We can't sit back and wait."

Zhang Yong slowly repeated his emphasis.

Radar maps show that within a radius of five kilometers, the number of Japanese invaders is only about 3,000.

Mainly stationed around Zhoupu. The troops are relatively dispersed.

In other words, the Japanese invaders had only one infantry regiment. There were far fewer Japanese invaders than on the northern and central lines.

His eyes shine.

This is simply a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

A somewhat absurd idea emerged from Zhang Yong's mind.

Perhaps, when the main force of the Japanese invaders was concentrated north of the Huangpu River, he could fight a big battle south of the Huangpu River?

South of the Huangpu River, the terrain is open and the battlefield is vast, which is conducive to the maneuverability of troops.

He has radar maps. Best at spotting enemies.

As long as it is discovered in advance, it can be destroyed in advance. The Japanese invaders didn't even know how they died.

For example, the Japanese invaders only had one infantry regiment. Neither Zhou Chong nor Rao Guohua knew. Because accurate information cannot be obtained. Therefore, do not dare to attack rashly.

However, Zhang Yong knew it.

Now that you know it, start a fight decisively.

Two divisions, about 20,000 men, surrounded an infantry regiment of the Japanese invaders—

The advantage is mine!

I really have the advantage!

Not like Chiang Kai-shek.

The Japanese infantry regiment also had no heavy weapons...

Only infantry guns and 90mm mortars.

Ahhhh...

Can't wait.

A real man makes great achievements and becomes famous...

Huh?

Why are you suddenly so positive?

Maybe it was because I fought too hard against the Japanese invaders on the northern front, but suddenly I came to the southern front and found such a good opportunity...

It's like a world-class **** devil meets a peerless beauty...

Attack!

Attack!

"Rao Guohua!"

"arrive!"

"Replenish weapons and ammunition!"

"yes."

Rao Guohua felt that happiness came so suddenly.

Replenish weapons and ammunition?

Now?

Need it?

However, Zhang Yong had already made arrangements.

The upper reaches of the Huangpu River are just to the left of the 145th Division. Ship arms directly.

The first thing to add is the 81mm mortar. This is a powerful weapon.

The Japanese infantry regiment did not have heavy weapons. Neither does the national army. The entire right-wing corps has no 75mm field guns. All were transferred.

Therefore, the most ferocious firepower is the 81mm mortar.

Quality is not enough, quantity is needed.

81mm artillery shells can also kill people.

The Japanese invaders did not have very strong defenses in Zhoupu.

The national army regards this as a secondary battlefield. The same goes for the Japanese invaders. Neither took it too seriously.

One division, equipped with one hundred 81mm mortars. Not too much?

Then, add the 12.7mm M2 heavy machine gun.

This is also a battlefield weapon.

Can fight Japanese tanks. Can do general fortifications.

Mainly because of its strong penetrating power. You can kill the Japanese invaders hiding behind the wall.

He is very good at hiding in daily life. You play hide and seek with them, and the battle becomes very difficult. And it's very dangerous.

However, it would be much easier if you use a large-caliber heavy machine gun to mow them all down.

No matter what obstacles are in front of the Japanese invaders, just greet them with 12.7mm bullets.

One division is equipped with one hundred large-caliber heavy machine guns. Isn’t that excessive?

There doesn't seem to be much need for other weapons. It's already there.

Replenish ammunition.

Mainly grenades. Melee weapon.

Then there are the 7.63mm shell gun bullets. The 145th Division of the Sichuan Army has many tricks.

The legal ammunition of the 184th Division of the Yunnan Army is a bit special. But that's okay. Already added last time. There are still relatively large quantities left.

In particular, the 13.2 mm heavy machine gun equipped by the 184th Division of the Yunnan Army has never been used.

No need. The Japanese invaders don't have tanks here.

Go out and scout.

Close to the Japanese invaders' positions.

The radar map has it all covered.

All the Japanese invaders' troop deployments can be seen at a glance.

You can even switch to 3D maps. Various details can be peeked further.

Memorize it by heart.

Maybe he knows better than the captain of the Japanese alliance.

I saw a Japanese commander in the telescope. But the Japanese colonel was not seen. Maybe inside the headquarters?

The radar map indicates that there are many radio stations, with more than a dozen radio station logos.

Vaguely, I felt that the Japanese infantry regiment did not have that many radio stations. But I didn't care. Maybe it's a specially strengthened alliance?

The Japanese invaders' troop organization was actually very flexible. Often changed according to battlefield needs.

An infantry regiment was eaten in one bite.

return.

"Lao Zhou, find a few people who know how to make a sand table. Let's make a simple sand table."

"good."

Zhou Chong arranges people.

Zhang Yong was responsible for describing the terrain surrounding the Japanese invaders.

Soon, a rough sandbox model was made out of soil in the open space outside.

Although crude. However, the topography is very clear.

The key is that the distribution of the Japanese invaders' troops is very accurately described on the sand table.

The distribution of the weapons of the Japanese invaders is also clear.

Where are the infantry guns. Where are the 90mm mortars. All marked out.

Then according to the sand table, the combat missions of each unit are arranged.

Know yourself and the enemy, and you will be victorious in every battle.

All units know their goals very clearly.

The two divisions dispatched a total of about 12,000 men. Around 3,000 Japanese invaders were besieged.

The strength ratio is 4:1.

It cannot be said that the odds of victory are certain. All I can say is that it’s a sure shot.

in particular-

Zhang Yong even led the team himself!

Make rice by burying the pot.

Have a hearty meal.

Five o'clock in the evening. The battle started on time.

Why did you choose this time? Because it will be dark in more than an hour.

When it gets dark, the Japanese invaders' planes can't move out.

The Japanese naval guns also had no way to reinforce them. Night bombardment is completely inaccurate.

As for heavy artillery...

Zhang Yong judged that the Japanese invaders were south of the Suzhou River and had no heavy artillery at all.

It is absolutely impossible to mobilize heavy artillery reinforcements from north of the Suzhou River.

So...go for it!

"Boom boom boom..."

"Boom boom boom..."

The first was the bombing of 81mm mortars.

Two hundred mortars aimed at various targets of the Japanese invaders and began to pour shells crazily!

The first thing to destroy is of course the Japanese infantry artillery.

The range of the Japanese infantry artillery was only about 2,800 meters, so it was completely within the coverage of the mortars.

Zhang Yong took charge personally.

Command twelve 81mm mortars to form an exclusive artillery group dedicated to bombing Japanese aggressor artillery.

Take the unexpected.

Attack them unprepared.

Killed two Japanese infantry guns in the first round.

This is the heavy weapon equipment of a Japanese invader brigade. The Japanese invaders only had two infantry artillery pieces per brigade.

Done.

Adjustment.

Aiming at the Japanese invaders' second artillery position.

The Japanese invaders had several artillery positions. They are all 92 infantry guns paired with 90mm mortars.

"Boom boom boom..."

"Boom boom boom..."

The artillery fire fell. Until destroyed.

Now that we know exactly where the Japanese artillery is, we certainly can’t let it go.

Just fight!

Hit hard!

There are cannonballs!

Fight fast, fight hard, and there are rewards.

Play slowly, play softly, and get criticized.

moment…

The Japanese invaders' position turned into a sea of ​​fire.

Balls of light were erupting everywhere. Shells fell like raindrops.

"Baga..."

The Japanese commander was stunned.

It had never seen such heavy artillery fire.

Almost all Japanese positions were covered.

No one is immune.

sky!

How many cannons did the Chinese dispatch?

Why are they here, with such fierce artillery fire! This is not the main battlefield!

wrong!

The Chinese may have to counterattack from here.

They may be trying to break through from here.

"Baga!"

"Cunning Chinese!"

The Japanese commander hurriedly reported to his superiors.

The boss was also surprised when he received the report. Unexpectedly, the Chinese army would launch a fierce attack from here.

Such fierce artillery fire shows that there is at least the size of an army group. That is several divisions.

A bit troublesome.

If it is successfully broken through by the Chinese army, it may detour back to the Japanese rear.

Or it seriously threatens the Japanese flank.

This is absolutely prohibited.

Therefore, reinforcements must be mobilized immediately.

The problem is that the main force of the Japanese army is north of the Huangpu River.

Moreover, almost all the troops are at war. It's very difficult to mobilize urgently.

It takes time.

Requires coordination.

Finally, the telegram reached Matsui Iwane.

Matsui Iwane also frowned when he learned about the situation. Unexpectedly, the Chinese soldiers would counterattack from here.

Underestimation.

Fortunately, there is a chance for redress.

How to remedy it?

Of course, troops were mobilized from the north for reinforcements.

It just so happened that an independent mixed brigade was preparing to land at Wusongkou. Let them go directly to support the southern front.

So he ordered. An independent mixed brigade was mobilized to provide support.

"Boom boom boom..."

"Boom boom boom..."

In the fierce bombardment, a large number of Japanese invaders were killed.

The Japanese invaders were also a bit careless. I thought this was not the main battlefield. No need to be so serious.

Therefore, when building fortifications, some corners were cut.

This is what people think. Regardless of nationality.

What's more, the Japanese army is the attacker and does not seem to need to use fortifications.

As a result, they were suddenly counterattacked by the national army and immediately fell into passivity. Many Japanese invaders were shocked. Almost no response.

"superior!"

"superior!"

Under the cover of artillery fire, the death squads began to attack.

Death squads must be used in every battle. It has almost become Zhang Yong's characteristic. He couldn't think of any other better way. You can only copy it.

The Suicide Squad is equipped with the finest weapons. Melee firepower is fierce.

However, it seems that it will not be used for the time being.

because…

"Boom boom boom..."

"Boom boom boom..."

The overwhelming artillery fire inflicted heavy injuries on the Japanese invaders.

There are restrictions on other people's sex. Shells are limited. It's impossible to keep fighting.

However, Zhang Yong is an exception.

The shells provided by the system are very cheap. You can make whatever you want.

so…

"Keep fighting!"

"Keep fighting!"

Zhang Yong shouted loudly.

No stopping.

Keep fighting.

Hit him hard!

Explode hard!

All the Japanese invaders' positions were blown up.

Damn it, Luodian was always bombed by Japanese heavy artillery and aerial bombs.

It can be said to be a depressing comparison. It's not okay to be irritable. But I don’t have enough strength, so I can only hold it in. There was no chance of revenge.

Now, the opportunity has finally come.

On a smaller battlefield, it would be the Japanese invaders' turn to be beaten.

Cool!

It’s so cool!

"fry!"

"fry!"

"Blow up those idiots!"

"Keep blowing!"

"Keep blowing!"

Zhang Yong waved his hands wildly.

I feel like I am a mustache giving a speech in a pub.

If you are not familiar with him, you will think that he is crazy.

Zhou Chong:…

Rao Guohua:…

They were all relatively speechless.

I feel like Zhang Yong is a bit confused. Could it be that he ate fungi?

fine. The more Commissioner Zhang gets upset, the better the battle seems to go. It can be easily seen that the Japanese invaders cannot stand it anymore.

really. In the lower left corner of the radar map, the numbers are decreasing.

2500…

2000…

1500…

The mere coverage of artillery fire sent half of the Japanese invaders to the underworld.

The Japanese invaders who were caught off guard did suffer a big loss.

good.

very good.

Keep blasting!

Blast the Japanese invaders to a minimum, then go up and clean the battlefield.

"Fight back!"

"Fight back!"

The Japanese commander roared hysterically.

Too passive. He was completely unable to raise his head after being hit by Chinese artillery fire. This situation is unprecedented.

Must fight back.

We cannot be suppressed and beaten by the Chinese.

Otherwise, the whole army will be annihilated.

The remaining Japanese invaders lay on the ground and shot around.

As a result, it immediately attracted a large amount of bullets.

Those Japanese officers who stood up frantically and prepared to command the soldiers to counterattack were shot to death as soon as they showed up.

As the national troops swarmed in from all directions, the remaining Japanese invaders could only resist stubbornly. Didn't dare to look up at all. To raise one's head is to die.

The field positions to the east were also completely occupied by the national army. It was equivalent to completely surrounding the Japanese invaders.

With the delivery of firepower, the number of Japanese invaders became smaller and smaller.

"Is it so easy?"

Zhang Yong felt that victory seemed to come too easily.

Compared with the Japanese invaders in front of me and those in Luodian, they are really far apart. It’s totally a soft persimmon!

This one is the right one.

It is no longer a matter of winning or not.

It was a question of whether to allow the Japanese invaders to escape. Even if one person escapes, it cannot be called a complete victory.

"Requesting urgent tactical guidance..."

"Besieged by the main force of the Chinese army..."

"Requesting urgent tactical guidance..."

The Japanese commander hurriedly sent a distress signal.

There are too many enemies coming. They have been surrounded.

Moreover, the overwhelming artillery fire continued to fall. Every second, there are heavy casualties.

However, at this time, it was dusk. Night is about to fall. The Japanese invaders were unable to reinforce them.

"Baga..."

"Breakout!"

"Breakout!"

The Japanese commander hurriedly issued orders.

We can't all die here. A few must run out.

As a result, the Japanese invaders made a mad breakthrough.

"kill!"

"kill!"

The morale of the surrounding national troops suddenly soared.

The Japanese invaders collapsed. Want to escape. How could the Japanese invaders escape with such a good opportunity?

"superior!"

"superior!"

Zhang Yong also joined the pursuit with a gun.

As a result, there were no chances to make a move. The Japanese invaders in the neighborhood were all killed.

Finally, in the flickering firelight, Zhang Yong suddenly saw a Japanese officer stumbling for his life.

Huh?

Doesn’t it seem like a colonel?

The epaulette looks like a gold star?

Um?

What's going on?

Japanese aggressor alliance…

wrong.

Maybe it’s not the Japanese alliance!

What they are encircling and annihilating now may be an independent mixed brigade of Japanese invaders!

ah…

That's the brigade commander.

I suddenly felt energetic.

"superior!"

"superior!"

"Catch them alive!"

"Catch them alive!"
