Chapter 225: Building the plank road openly, secretly destroying Chencang
The Northeast Frontier Defense Army’s offensive is getting stronger and stronger!
The Japanese troops stationed in Songshan are in danger!
The defense line may be breached at any time!
Du Longfei, who was on the road that the border defense army's supply line must pass through, could be said to have the best vantage point to watch the battle!
Seeing the air-ground integrated combat mode of the Northeast Frontier Defense Army, I couldn't help but sigh: "I think if they wanted to, they could wipe out our army in about half a day!"
"Commander, I think we should retreat immediately! If we stay here like this, we will be eliminated!"
"Run? Where to run? Do you think the armored army on the opposite side is just sitting there doing nothing? Lin Husan is right here watching us!"
"Commander, you're right! They probably still care about our brotherhood! They didn't kill us! Everyone, don't you understand what we should do? Commander, don't be so blindly loyal!"
The deputy commander of the Corps, Hu Sheng, said meaningfully.
"Alas! The commander-in-chief's telegram is very clear! He wants us to die here in battle! Everyone, don't forget that our wives, children and elders are all in the commander-in-chief's hands!"
These words made everyone present look gloomy!
But He Jishen was not happy at all! It was agreed that they would capture Songshan in 30 hours and wipe out the Japanese invaders, but it seemed that the higher-ups had changed their minds!
We are fighting vigorously. The leading armored brigade has covered a long distance of hundreds of kilometers and broke through the enemy's defense line, but we have to slow down the attack!
"Commander-in-chief! What on earth are you trying to do? I have issued a military order! Why are you asking me to stop again?"
"General He, you have to consider the overall situation! Two divisions for a small Songshan is too petty! You are using a butcher knife to crack a nut for your main armored army!"
"You have other plans, why did you let me attack so hard? You are kidding me!"
He Jishen's temper also started to flare up.
"If I told you in advance, would you still be able to act so convincingly? Okay, follow the order, we must make Songshan in danger! But we must not annihilate them completely! We must leave them hope for rescue! Do you understand?"
"I think I understand a little bit."
"If you understand, follow the order!"
"Yes!"
Su Daocheng, as the commander-in-chief of the South China Corps, is only 31 years old this year! He is very young!
He Jishen and even Lin Husan are much more experienced than him!
Unfortunately, seniority is completely useless in front of Xu Yan!
What Xu Yan hated most was when someone talked to him about qualifications!
Su Daocheng's sudden rise to prominence began six years ago when he was destroying the Dongxiang Group that had penetrated deep into the Northeast. At that time, Su Daocheng, who was only a battalion commander, led his battalion on a sudden long-distance raid, directly destroyed Dongxiang Pingye's headquarters, and captured Dongxiang Pingye alive! Although it seems difficult, it is actually not easy at all!
Although it violated military orders, he received special appreciation from Xu Yan!
Within two years, he was promoted to the position of Director of the Operations Bureau of the Supreme Command! Before the war started, he was transferred to the position of Commander-in-Chief of the South China Corps!
This time he made another huge and unexpected plan!
If he succeeds in this battle, Japan will be completely kicked out of China!
For this purpose, he spared no expense to mobilize two armored armies! And it was just to create a false alarm!
After seeing this plan, Xu Yan couldn't help but admire his courage!
And his ultimate trump card was that Song Yunzhong led two mechanized armies to make a large detour! A large encirclement!
"Contact Commander Song to find out where he is?"
"Report, Commander Song has been in radio silence! We can't get in touch with him!"
"Got it! Contact me every five minutes! Report as soon as you get any news!"
"Yes!"
"Commander, are you sure?"
Xu Xiangtian, the chief of staff of the South China Corps, asked with some concern, "What if He Jishen really scares the enemy and hurts them, and they don't come to our rescue?"
"These two divisions are their main divisions! Based on the current national strength of Japan, they will not watch these two main divisions being lost! If these two divisions are destroyed, their defeat in China is only a matter of time!"
"Well, if that's the case, let's just fight! Just eat it up! Why bother with so much trouble?"
"Although they all failed in the end, He Jishen's troops cannot wipe out two divisions now! He can only capture one at most! If the other one is desperate, he may flee at all costs! By then, there will be endless troubles. Although we will win in the end, it should be a very long process!
Especially if the Japanese cross the Red River and confront us across the river, we will be in a passive position! So we must not let them run away! I want to turn Songshan into a huge pocket! Let the Japanese send their troops in!
And Commander Song is the one who tied the bag!"
"This is a bit too risky! If we attract the Japanese troops here, we might get attacked back!"
"Yes! But the commander-in-chief said that he will fully support us in this battle! The commander-in-chief may not want to drag it out too long! Now everything depends on whether Commander Song can march secretly without alerting the enemy and successfully block their retreat route to the south!"
