Chapter 91 Big Knife Plan 1
Daijiaqiao Town, the brigade headquarters of the 109th Brigade of the 37th Division.
Master Zhao Dengyu sat in a chair and fell asleep against the wall. The staff officers in and out deliberately slowed down so as not to wake up the sleeping brigade commander.
Since the beginning of the Great Wall Campaign, Brigadier Zhao has slept for less than three hours a day, and it is not uncommon to be busy all night. Every day, before the staff officers go to bed, they can see him standing in front of the map. When he wakes up, as soon as he opens his eyes, he sees that the brigade commander is still standing in front of the map. That Zhang is increasingly haggard. There is a thick and unconcealed fatigue on his face.
The 109th Brigade guarded the front line of Xifengkou, which was also one of the key areas of the Japanese army's attack. The Japanese army dispatched an advance team composed of the elites of the two brigades, Hattori and Suzuki. The troops carried out a non-stop fierce attack on this place, which made the defending 109 Brigade very difficult.
The war has not started for more than a week. One battalion of the 109th Brigade has been completely disabled, and even the camp flag has been robbed by the devils. The rest of the troops also have different casualties, and they can't find a fully formed team.
In particular, the 217th Regiment of the 109th Brigade of the 29th Army guarding Xifengkou, which fought hard in a row, more than half of the regiment suffered casualties, and the military officers at the battalion level also suffered many casualties.
However, the Japanese devils have not taken any advantage of it. Their offensive troops suffered a lot of casualties. More importantly, they have never been able to attack the Xifengkou position, which has delayed the realization of the battle plan for the Kanto* Army Command to go south to Pingjin.
This battle showed the ambition and blood of the Chinese people and the prestige of the Chinese people, so that the Japanese army had to re-examine the backward and poorly equipped Chinese army.
Of course, they are also more eager to defeat the 109th Brigade and take down Xifengkou, so as not to break the myth of the invincibility of the Imperial Japanese army in their own hands.
To this end, the Japanese army began to brew a new offensive plan. In particular, they transferred a chariot squadron from the 11th Armored Brigade of Chengde and came with twelve chariots to support. In addition, the Japanese bombers at Chengde Airport have also taken off and are ready to blow up the Xifengkou position into a sea of fire.
Wang Changhai hurriedly walked in from the outside with the document. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted excitedly, "Brigadier, good news."
The staff officer hurriedly reached out his hand to stop him and reminded him in a low voice, "Cun commander Wang, the brigade commander just fell asleep. Let him sleep for a while."
Only then did Wang Changhai realize that he was too reckless. He nodded quickly and retreated to the door. He turned around and walked a few steps, and the tired voice of Brigadier Zhao came from behind him, "Wang Changhai, what good news."
Wang Changhai had to stop, turn his head and smile, "Bid chief, wake you up."
"I don't know what's going on. I fell asleep when I looked at the map." Brigade Leader Zhao stretched out his hand and rubbed his still stiff face, driving away the still very strong sleepiness, "What good news do you bring?"
"Bite commander, don't be in a hurry. You wash your face first." Wang Changhai put the document on the table, then scooped out a ladle of cold water from the water tank next to him and poured it into the basin. Then Brigadier Zhao snored and washed his face.
After washing his face, Brigadier Zhao felt more energetic. Then he went to the table and grabbed the telegram and read it carefully.
The telegram was sent by Chen Feng. The main love is about the recent progress of the action. Although his words were very plain, Zhao Dengyu was attracted by their excellent record.
There have been more than 100 battles with the devils, and hundreds of people in the Japanese puppet army have been closed. Among them, the battle in Lingyuan County alone has directly wiped out all the commanders of the Guizi and a joint team at all levels, and also eliminated the devils and a gendarmerie squadron. Such a record is really encouraging.
The more Brigadier Zhao looked at it, the happier he became. He couldn't help punching the table. "Well done. This battle is really enjoyable. Chen Feng is really not simple, not simple."
Originally, Brigadier Zhao was also very suspicious about Chen Feng's selection of a group of scum in the army, and he was not even optimistic about his action, but he didn't expect that Chen Feng played well there, much better than he expected.
Wang Changhai is next to him. He has already read this message, so he grinned and said proudly at this time, "Bride, you can also see that Chen Feng is really not simple. I think there should be no doubt about Shangfeng this time."
"Not yet. With these achievements alone, we can't impress the superiors. Chen Feng and others need to make more achievements, even an earth-shaking action, so that the superiors can be convinced."
"Extraking?!" Wang Changhai rolled his eyes angrily, "In the devil's belly, isn't this purely to let the devils get up and attack it?"
There is a big operation in the area where the devils are gathered. It's strange that the devils don't blow up their nests. At that time, it's strange that Chen Feng and his blood flag special team are not besieged by the devils.
It is considered that the combat effectiveness is very strong, but after all, the blood flag is only more than 100 people. Such a little person and horses are besieged in the environment where the Japanese army has an absolute home advantage. It is not optimistic how many people can come back alive in the end.
Brigadier Zhao couldn't help sighing, "There's nothing I can do. You and I can't reverse the decision above. We can only see what Chen Feng and others do."
Wang Changhai can't do anything about it. He can't control this kind of thing at all. He doesn't even have a chance to interrupt. He can only be secretly sulking.
After talking about Chen Feng, Brigadier Zhao asked him about the recent situation on the position.
Wang Changhai thought for a moment and then said, "The attack of the devils opposite seems to have slowed down a little, and the pressure on the position has become clearer, but I suspect that the devils must be brewing some conspiracy."
"It looks like a big storm is coming." After listening to his story, Brigadier Zhao came to the sand table on the table and bent down to carefully check the enemy situation above.
On the sand table, the enemy and our forces are intertwined and entangled on the front line of the Great Wall. In some places, the Japanese army has an advantage, and in some positions, the Chinese army has the upper hand. However, in general, the Great Wall defense line is still in the hands of the Chinese army.
In this front, the situation in Gubeikou is the most serious. The Japanese army has captured the Beiguan position in Gubeikou, oppressing the Chinese army to the second front line of Nantianmen.
In the Gubeikou area, in addition to Xu Tingyao's 17th Army, there are also the 67th Army and other troops of General Wang Yizhe of the Northeast Army. The military strength is relatively strong. It is estimated that there should be no problem for the time being. The two sides are likely to start a confrontation and tug-of-war for a long time, glued together.
In the cold mouth and Jielingkou in the east, the troops of the 29th Army are also entangled with the Japanese troops. The two sides are inseparable, but the devils have never been able to capture the position of the Chinese army, and it will not be effective in a short time.
Now it seems that the area of Xifengkou, where the Japanese army has increased its troops, is most likely to be the place where the Japanese army is trying to open a breakthrough.
If his guess is correct, then in the next period of time, the position of the 109th Brigade will encounter a more crazy attack by the Japanese army.
"Passive defense, it can't go on like this." Brigadier Zhao looked at the map and said to himself. He felt that it was not a good way to be beaten so passively.
A loud voice came from the outside, followed by He Jifeng's burly body and broke into the door. "Since passive defense is not a good way, why don't we go against the guest and take the initiative?"
"He Hu, come on, boy." Seeing He Jifeng coming back, Brigadier Zhao was very happy. He waved to Vice Brigadier He, "The military meeting of the division is over?"
He Jifeng was ordered to attend the military meeting of the 37th Division. As soon as the meeting was over, he came back non-stop.
"It's over. I'll be back as soon as it's over." The general took off his hat and slapped the dust on his thigh. Then Vice Brigadier He came to the table with a smile. "I'll convey the content of the meeting to you later. Let's talk about passive defense first."
The two people stood side by side, standing in front of the sand table, looking at the enemy and us posture together.
Brigadier Zhao held a whip made of a branch in his hand and pointed to the map while introducing the details to He Jifeng.
Deputy Brigadier He has been holding meetings in the division department in recent days. He is not so familiar with the situation on the front line. He needs to be familiar with it before starting the next plan.
He Jifeng listened carefully until Brigadier Zhao finished talking about the situation. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Lao Zhao, I have an idea."
He took the branch that Brigadier Zhao had just put down and pointed to the sand table. "You see, the Japanese army has sent more troops here and here. The next intention can be basically inferred. Instead of waiting for them to do it, it's better for us to do it first and fight them."
"Hey, that's what I'm thinking about." Brigadier Zhao coincided with He Jifeng's idea. He said excitedly, "Why can we only let the devils beat us? We can't beat them in turn."
"This is the Japanese chariot squadron, this is the artillery position of the Japanese army, and this is the Japanese cavalry brigade... These places, together with the command post of the Japanese army, are all important garrisons of the Japanese troops." He Jifeng's red face was glowing with excitement. He continued, "The devils must have dreamed that we dared to take the initiative to launch a night attack on them."
It has always been a Japanese attack, and the Chinese army can only defend with simple positions. They don't believe that the Chinese army has the courage to attack them.
The two discussed happily. They didn't even eat lunch. They didn't discuss until it was dark that they roughly decided on the plan framework.
Since it's a big game, Brigadier Zhao and He Jifeng drew up a night attack plan, which required the cooperation of the 109th Brigade and the adjacent Wang Zhibang Brigade to draw out four regiments to carry out night attacks on many targets distributed by the Japanese army within hundreds of square kilometers, which dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese army.
It should not be too late. The plan was immediately reported to the division headquarters of the 37th Division, and it was quickly approved. The division fully supported the plan and transferred a batch of weapons and ammunition to supplement the night attack troops, which improved their combat effectiveness.
At the same time, Zhao Dengyu's brigade and Wang Zhibang's brigade each drew out two regiments of troops, formed a death squad, and began to make pre-war preparations.
This plan was named the Da Dao Plan. The reason why it is named is that in the 29th Army, the Da Dao is a standard melee weapon. The night attack plan is named after the Da Dao, which shows the determination and fighting spirit of the 29th Army.
For a while, there were a lot of people in the garrison of the 29th Army. Everyone was busy polishing their big knives and making preparations before the war.
