Anti-Japanese War: Developing on my own, I brought back a US-equipped division

"In this way, the Japanese will definitely break out from the west and reach the Donghe Plain!"

"We just need to set up an ambush in the Dongping River area and attack from both sides!"

"And if we can attract the Japanese to Dongping and Pingyuan, it will be convenient for us to carry out bombing!"

Lei Zifeng and Zhao Donghai both looked at the battle situation map, nodded and said, "Old Zhou...you have a good idea!"

"That's right... If we can attract the Japanese to the Dongping River Plain, then we can have a good fight with them without having to worry about the safety of the people!"

This is indeed the truth.

If the Tiger Guards trapped and blocked the Japanese 8th Reorganized Division and the 13th Division of the Imperial Army in Dongping Town, they would inevitably put up a desperate resistance, thus increasing the casualties of the Tiger Guards soldiers and civilians.

This is the inevitable result.

However, if the battlefield is moved to the plains around Dongping River, the conditions and circumstances will change.

Lei Zifeng also nodded and said: "Well... I also agree with Lao Zhou's battle plan!"

"But will the Japanese be fooled? Will they escape from the west to the Dongping River area?"

Zhou Weiguo was lost in thought for a moment, and said, "I think they will... because the Japanese are like frightened birds now, they will definitely find a way to break through!"

· ····Request flowers·· ··

"Although the Japanese 8th Reorganized Division and the 13th Division of the Imperial Army have more than 25,000 people, if they really had the confidence and ability, they would not show any signs of breaking out!"

"We deliberately left a gap and a possibility of a breakout on the west side. From the Japanese's point of view... we regarded the Dongping River as a natural barrier. We expected that they would not break out from the west, so we deliberately arranged it this way!"

. ...... .......

“Simply put… it’s doing the opposite.”

Zhou Weiguo is still very capable.

This shows that he has the ability to become Su Wei's successor.

Judging from the layout and tactics of the Dongping River Battle, they were indeed very capable.

Zhao Donghai and Lei Zifeng carefully analyzed Zhou Weiguo's plan, nodded slightly, and agreed: "Okay, let's do it this way!"

Afterwards, the three of them began to discuss the battle plan in detail...

Chapter 638: All's fair in war! A shocking showdown (rd update, please subscribe)

Zhou Weiguo, Lei Zifeng and Zhao Donghai established Dongping River as the main battlefield, concentrated their forces to encircle Dongping Town on three sides, leaving a gap in the encirclement on the west side, allowing the Japanese to break through to Dongping River, thus annihilating the Japanese 8th Reorganized Division and the 13th Division of the Imperial Army at Dongping River.

This is the general battle plan.

However, the detailed battle plan still needs to be discussed.

The second and third battalions and the elite battalion of the Tiger Guards have a total strength of "167", so only such a combat plan is suitable for them.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to carry out an accurate air strike.

After Zhou Weiguo, Lei Zifeng and Zhao Donghai quickly established the battle plan, they immediately deployed their troops and deliberately left a loophole in the encirclement line on the west.

Under such circumstances, it depends on whether the Japanese will be fooled.

In Dongping Town.

Fu He Shan Xia and Wei Liang were discussing strategies to defeat the enemy.

In fact, you don’t have to think too much about it. Just concentrate your forces to break through.

The Japanese 8th Reorganized Division and the 13th Division of the Imperial Army had a total of more than 25,000 people. With such a large force, it was not difficult to break through.

Fu He looked at Wei Liang at the foot of the mountain and said, "Captain Wei, according to the intelligence information we have so far, the Tiger Guards are concentrating their forces on the south, east, and north sides!"

"These three sides are heavily guarded by the Tiger Guards, and the terrain is difficult. It is not easy to break through, and it is not conducive to the advancement of our artillery and tank troops!"

The topography of Dongping Town is very strange.

The conditions on the east, south and north sides are very special, and only the west side is relatively flat.

Suitable for large-scale breakthroughs.

Wei Liang was cautious and asked, "General Fuhe... could this be a trick?"

"If we break out from the west, we will soon reach Dongping River!"

"The width of Dongping River is about 50 meters, and the water depth is not very deep. The deepest point is about one meter. Such a river will block our tank troops... Our infantry can cross the river, but the tank troops cannot!"

"Now the Tiger Guards have deliberately left loopholes in the west... I'm afraid they have other plans and want to encircle and annihilate us at Dongping River first!"

Fuhe Shanxia nodded slightly and said, "Master Wei, your analysis is correct... There is indeed such a possibility!"

"But the Tiger Guards are not an ordinary Eighth Route Army unit. I think we should not use conventional thinking to deal with the Tiger Guards. Instead, we should change our thinking!"

Wei Liang was stunned and asked, "Oh... General Fuhe, tell me!"

Fuhe Shanxia said slowly: "I think the Tiger Guards did this on purpose!"

"The Tiger Guards don't have many soldiers right now. A conservative estimate is around 15,000. So this amount of troops is not enough to surround Dongping Town!"

"So they deliberately left a loophole in the west... because they expected us not to break out from the west!"

"They had this idea because they knew we were afraid of being surrounded at the Dongping River on the west side, so they concentrated their forces on the other three sides... To put it simply, the Tiger Guards were sure that we would not dare to break out from the west, so we had to break out from the west and catch them off guard..."

This is doing the opposite of the old approach. All’s fair in war!

Chapter 639 The nationwide siege and annihilation campaign has begun! The whole country is paying attention (fourth update, please subscribe)

From the perspective of Fuhe Mountain, the Tiger Guards deliberately left a gap in the encirclement on the west side of Dongping Town.

On the one hand, the Tiger Guards were short of manpower.

After all, the Tiger Guards only had more than 15,000 people in total.

Lei Zifeng's Second Battalion has more than 4,000 people.

Zhao Donghai's elite battalion has more than 6,000 people.

Zhou Weiguo's three battalions had more than 8,000 people.

The total number of troops is less than 20,000.

But they all have their own bases.

For example, Zhou Weiguo’s base was Ping’an County.

It is definitely impossible for the Japanese and puppet troops who came to besiege Dongping Town 14 times to mobilize all of their forces.

If they were to go all out, our home town might be destroyed in a matter of minutes.

In addition, some artillerymen from the Second Battalion, the Third Battalion and the Elite Battalion did not participate in this encirclement and annihilation battle, so the three battalions that appeared in Dongping Town had only more than 15,000 troops.

With more than 15,000 men, it is natural that there will be a shortage of troops.

on the other hand.

To the west of Dongping Town is the Dongping River.

From the perspective of Fuhe Mountain...the Tiger Guards expected that they would not dare and would not break out from the west.

Because the Dongping River is on the west side, it is not convenient for tanks, artillery and other troops to cross the river.

But Fuhe Mountain was going to do the opposite...The Tiger Guards thought he would not break out from the west, so he insisted on breaking out from the west.

Wei Liang listened to Fu He's analysis and nodded slightly, saying, "General Fu He, your analysis makes sense!"

"We are now doing the opposite, breaking out from the west to thwart their encirclement plan!"

"All is fair in war... truth and falsehood, this is the essence of military strategy!"

Fuku and Yamashita laughed and said, "Hahaha...that's right, that's what we are going to do!"

Wei Liang: "The Tiger Guards are very cunning. If we use normal thinking to deal with them, they will definitely not believe us... Doing the opposite may work wonders!"

"Okay...we will go down immediately and prepare for battle, and break out from the west."

After discussions with Fu Heshanxia, ​​Wei Liang and other staff officers, they finally decided to break out of Dongping Town from the west. After leaving Dongping Town, they immediately used engineers to build a pontoon bridge to allow tanks, artillery and other equipment to pass.

This time it was a tactical contest.

It also reflects Zhou Weiguo's calculation and tactical abilities.

Zhou Weiguo deliberately left a gap in the encirclement on the west side... The normal logical thinking is: if a gap is deliberately left on the west side, there will definitely be an explosion. This is a trap and you cannot break through from the west side.

However, Zhou Weiguo also anticipated that the Japanese would think that the west side was a trap left by the Tiger Guards, and wanted to scare the 167th Army so that they would not dare to break out from the west. The Japanese would inevitably do the opposite and deliberately break out from the west.

This is a bit like two negatives equaling a positive.

Zhou Weiguo used psychological tactics to deliberately induce the Japanese to break out from the west.

Soon, the Japanese 8th Reorganized Division and the 13th Division of the Imperial Army in Dongping Town, totaling more than 25,000 Japanese and puppet troops, were ready for battle. They immediately concentrated their forces to launch an attack to the west and broke through to the west side of Dongping Town.

The encirclement and annihilation war that shocked the whole country has finally begun. This is a battle that has attracted the attention of the whole country...

Chapter 640 Breakout! Tactics and tactics that are as rich as gold (first update, please subscribe)

After some discussion, Fukuhe Yamashita and Wei Liang decided to break out from the west side of Dongping Town with the Japanese 8th Reorganized Division and the 13th Division of the Imperial Army.

West side of Dongping Town.

More than 25,000 Japanese troops from the 8th Reorganized Division and the 13th Division of the Imperial Army, with artillery as the vanguard, launched a fierce bombardment directly at the encirclement line on the west!

Boo hoo hoo...

swish swish...  

Before breaking out, the Japanese artillery fired shells at the defensive positions on the west side.

Shells continued to fall on the defensive positions.

Rumble...

Boom boom boom...

Suddenly the fire burst into the sky.

Smoke filled the air.

There were explosions everywhere.

The roar of explosions continued to sound, forming waves of shock waves and air waves that continuously attacked the positions.

soon.

Smoke and flames filled the entire western direction of the position.

Rumble...

Boom boom boom...

After a fierce bombing, the tank troops came on the scene.

The Japanese Army's 8th Reorganized Battalion did not have many tanks, only six in total.

Four of them were Douding tanks, and the other two were Type 97 light tanks.

The tank's combat effectiveness is very average.

If they encountered the tanks of the Tiger Guards, they would be completely crushed.

But now that the Tiger Guards' tank troops are no longer there, these Japanese tanks are able to run wild.

buzzing...

Huhuhu......

The Japanese tanks were advancing rapidly and launched a fierce bombardment towards the western defense line.

dong dong dong...

swish swish...
