Chapter 454 Let you defend yourself!
Analyzing the enemy situation is also a qualities that the generals must possess. By raising materials and being attacked by the troops, the Japanese division commander saw that Hu Biao and his party had arrived, and quickly made corresponding defensive deployments based on the judged situation.
Based on the Japanese army's troops mobilization and defense deployment, Hu Biao quickly analyzed that the Japanese army was already prepared for it. He then changed his combat strategy and decided to attack it decisively, catching the Japanese division off guard.
Even in the eyes of many people, Hu Biao is better at fighting and making plans. But if he really wants to fight a regular battle, Hu Biao will naturally do it. As for the current trump card of the two armies, Hu Biao feels that even if he confronts head-on, he should have more chances of winning.
After receiving a telegram from Hu Biao, Yu Xuezhong knew that this was a rare opportunity. Even if he could not severely damage the remaining Japanese division unit who had been outside the city for several days, he could drive it out of Lu'an, and for the 51st Army, he could still temporarily suspend the crisis.
Yu Xuezhong, who was responsible for the task of ensuring the flanking of Wuhan, knew very well that once Lu'an fell, the 26th Army retreated to Huoshan would definitely be difficult to resist the Japanese army's military front. By then, when the flanks of Wuhan defenders exposed the Japanese army's military front, they would be unforgivable.
He quickly summoned his subordinate division and first-level officers of the regiment to hold a meeting. Yu Xuezhong decided to send troops to a division. The rest of the troops remained firm to ensure that the troops would not be caught off guard after sending troops. This was also considered to be a preparation for both.
Hearing the combat order issued by Yu Xuezhong, a division commander quickly said: "Military throne, if the attack fails to succeed, the combat troops will be very dangerous. The Japanese troops stationed outside the city still have tens of thousands of people!"
"I believe you all heard of the two vehicles of weapons and ammunition I received outside the city yesterday. Do you know who sent this batch of weapons and ammunition to us? Do you also know who even killed several Japanese troops in Shucheng?
This time, our troops attacked more to cooperate with this friendly army that came from afar. Although I don’t know how many people there are in that army, they have already proved their strength with their records. Are you still afraid of assisting?
Secondly, we must figure out one thing: if the Japanese outside the city refuse to leave, they will sooner or later launch a full-scale attack on us. If this is true, how long can we hold on? Once Lu'an falls, who can bear the responsibility on the top of the mountain?
Now someone helps us deal with the Japanese outside the city. We only need to use some of our troops to cooperate in combat. Why are you still hesitating? Could it be that you are all scared by the Japanese and dare not confront the Japanese?”
Yu Xuezhong naturally knew that his subordinates were afraid of war. In fact, not only his subordinates were afraid of the Japanese army, but also that was not the same? How many of the generals of the national army dared to say that they had the confidence to win against the Japanese army?
Now Hu Biao hopes that he will send troops to cooperate. If he doesn't even dare to do this, he will be in a good position when he spread it out. Not to mention that Hu Biao first sent them a batch of weapons and ammunition, and then decided to deal with the seized spoils.
Facing Yu Xuezhong's angry face, the division commanders and commanders dared not say much. Even among these senior commanders, the main commander soon asked for a fight. Yu Xuezhong was also very pleased with this, feeling that these subordinates would be saved in the end.
According to the combat plan discussed with Hu Biao, Yu Xuezhong quickly said: "This time, our army will send three main groups to cooperate with the task force to fight out of the city. Secondly, the military's direct guard regiment will also participate in this offensive operation.
With Shilipu as the focus of the attack, they will send people to contact our troops after nightfall. A main force will cooperate with them to attack Shilipu. In the shortest time, they will encircle and annihilate the Japanese enemies stationed in Shilipu.
The remaining troops will be led by me personally to set up ambush in the Wangjialing area to block reinforcements sent by the Japanese division. The detailed combat plan will be sent to each regiment according to the battlefield situation. After going down, each regiment will be quickly prepared to fight!"
"Military throne, you still need to be in charge of the city. If you don't let me go in this battle!"
One of the division commanders was somewhat worried when they heard that Yu Xuezhong was going to lead his troops to fight. Once Yu Xuezhong was at least good, the 51st Army would be very likely to collapse without fighting. It would be very dangerous to come to the front line in person!
As a result, Yu Xuezhong still shook his head and said, "You have followed me to fight south and north for many years, but you have never seen me afraid of the enemy and dare not move forward? What's more, the war tonight is changing unpredictable, and I personally take charge of the command, which will facilitate the mobilization of troops.
The most important thing is that the commander of the task force will meet me outside the city tonight. When people help us fight, I don’t even have the courage to leave the city. What will others think? I hope to clear our Northeast Army through this battle. Do you understand?”
"Yes, the military seat!"
Yu Xuezhong, who was born in the Northeast Army, was also under house arrest by Shaoshang Zhang. Joined the National Army's combat sequence and once prominent Northeast Army fell apart as Shaoshang Zhang was under house arrest and was not very popular with Chiang Kai-shek.
Even though the Northeast Army is not powerful in combat, after years of hard work, the Northeast Army has only lived a better life than other miscellaneous armies. However, in terms of food and salary, they are still subject to certain restrictions, and they cannot develop and cannot starve to death.
As the 51st Army began to assemble troops, watching the drizzle that began to fall in the evening, Hu Biao, who was ready to go in the mountains, turned around and said, "Xiao Wu, telegram, all departments, to fully clean up the Japanese military's police and prepare for war!"
"Yes, captain!"
After the telegram was sent, looking at the reserve company that had been on standby for a long time, Hu Biao said again: "Old Lei, follow me to attack!"
"Yes, the captain of the detachment! Preparation Company, set off!"
Through the secret control of the reconnaissance team, the Japanese reconnaissance soldiers deployed near Lu'an City have been fully monitored by the reconnaissance team. In order to ensure the safety of the 51st Army leaving the city, Hu Biao naturally had to deal with these Japanese reconnaissance soldiers first.
The confrontation of scouts is also an extremely dangerous thing. In order to ensure the smooth removal, Hu Biao sent out both task forces. This time, the only guard platoon that accompanied Hu Biao was with him and the newly formed reserve company.
After receiving the order to set off, the other prisoners of war companies gathered and stood up, walked out of the mountains one after another, and under the guidance of the combat team members, they began to gather at the combat site. At this time, it was not yet dark.
If it were when the sky was clear, Hu Biao might have waited for a while. But since it was raining lightly, Hu Biao believed that the Japanese reconnaissance planes would not dare to take off again. Without the threat of fighter planes, why would Hu Biao be afraid of being discovered by the Japanese army?
Although the Japanese division was prepared and deployed more troops to the periphery as defensive guards. For Hu Biao, he did not need to eliminate the Japanese troops deployed on the periphery, but instead directly attacked the main force of the Japanese division.
As the saying goes, I will only go all the way to defend you. This is the combat plan formulated by Hu Biao. There is a main division sent by Yu Xuezhong to help with the war. Hu Biao believes that if the Japanese send troops to reinforce, they will only lose their strength in vain.
If the Japanese police troops stationed outside the division remained unmoved and waited for Hu Biao to defeat the main force of the Japanese division, these remaining troops would not need to be dealt with by Hu Biao at all. The 51st Army could encircle and annihilate them in Lu'an.
As for the Japanese division's plan to retreat, it depends on their luck. As for the current situation, the Japanese army can only seek a glimmer of vitality by retreating to Luzhou. Qin Tianyou has been waiting for the road to Luzhou for a long time.
Even if the Japanese army that retreated and broke through could not be encircled and annihilated, they could at least bite off a piece of fat. Moreover, once the attack went smoothly, how could the 51st Army, which was good at fighting the wind, let the Japanese escape calmly?
The Japanese who lost their existing temporary camps and formed a defeated situation would probably become very difficult for them to escape from Lu'an safely. During this period, the people in Lu'an were also gritting their teeth for the Japanese.
Once the people in the territory know that the Japanese devils have lost the battle, they believe that countless people will inform them of the 51st army that are pursuing them. At that time, these fleeing Japanese devils will be trapped in a situation of endless pursuit.
Whether they can escape from the sky in the end depends on their luck! As for the attack tonight, Hu Biao feels that the chance of winning is quite high!
When Hu Biao led the Preparatory Company to Shilipu, the remaining prisoners of war companies also built blocking positions outside Shilipu. In a short time, even if the Japanese army knew that Shilipu was attacked, it was unlikely that they would come to support them.
When he arrived less than five miles away from Shilipu, Hu Biao also received a telegram from the reconnaissance team. The scouts deployed by the Japanese army near Lu'an have been repeatedly eliminated. This also realized that the Japanese would not be able to predict the movements of the 51st Army in advance.
Upon hearing the news, Hu Biao quickly said: "Send a report to General Yu and ask him to start sending troops out of the city. Let Lao Xu send a reconnaissance team to Lu'an City, lead the 51st Army's participating troops into the designated area and standby!"
"Yes, captain!"
After receiving a telegram from Hu Biao, Yu Xuezhong, who had just had dinner, looked at the sky and said, "So early?"
"Military throne, someone is coming outside the city! He said he was ordered to guide us out of the city!"
"Tell me the order that each regiment will carry weapons and ammunition and prepare to leave the city!"
Although he was a little curious that Hu Biao decided to take action so early, Yu Xuezhong still knew that it was almost the same as dark at this time. Taking advantage of the light of the sky, it was relatively safer for the troops to leave the city. Tonight, there was no starlight and moonlight!
Although night wars are the best of the anti-Japanese troops, for the attacking side, they must be wary of possible ambushings at any time. No one knows whether they will be ambushed by Japanese devils when they go to the scheduled assembly site.
It was as if Xue Zhong had left the city under the protection of the direct guard regiment and met with the combat platoon leader who was ordered to lead the way. He learned that Hu Biao had already dealt with the scouts deployed the Japanese outside the city before notifying them to leave the city.
Upon hearing this, Yu Xuezhong also sincerely sighed: "The name of Feihu is indeed well-known! It is expected that the enemy will win every battle. It seems that General Feihu already has the belief of winning this far tonight!"
Thinking of Hu Biao's reputation as the "Flying Fox Wisdom General", even though he is still a colonel, Yu Xuezhong and most military generals dare not underestimate Hu Biao's strength and influence. After all, Hu Biao has become famous and has achieved amazing results!
