Let's talk about Xu Rui later. After seeing off Leng Tiefeng and the Langya Brigade, he returned to the regiment headquarters.
In the war room of the regiment headquarters, Du Junjie was leading several combat staff members to work on a tense map. When they saw Xu Rui and Wang Husheng coming in hand in hand, Du Junjie and several staff members quickly stood up at attention and saluted.
Xu Rui returned the military salute and asked, "Has the battle plan been drawn up?"
With the expansion of the army, Xu Rui can no longer do everything as he did before. If he had to draw up the combat objectives and attack routes for each battalion or even each company, he would be working around the clock 24 hours a day. They are too busy, so these specific tasks can only be left to the staff of the staff department.
As the team leader, Xu Rui only needs to provide big ideas.
Du Junjie said: "The report to the leader has basically been formulated."
"Okay." Xu Rui nodded and said, "You pick the key points and talk to me and Lao Wang."
"Yes!" Du Junjie agreed, and asked the two combat staff to pull open the map on the table, and then pointed at the map and said, "On the line from Panshan to Heishan, there are fortifications built by the Fengjun before. The Japanese First Division has already Seize these fortifications first, so if we attack head-on, not only will there be huge casualties, but it will also be a waste of time!"
Xu Rui said: "Don't get too entangled with the enemy halfway, but bypass the enemy's heavily fortified fortress and go straight to the vital point. This is also the essence of blitzkrieg! Very good, what should we do next?"
Du Junjie said: "Our army can completely bypass the Japs' defense lines in Panshan and Heishan from Fuxin and Zhangwu in the north, and then march east from Xinmin to directly attack Fengtian!"
Xu Rui asked again: "What are the specific arrangements?"
Du Junjie said: "The specific arrangement is as follows. The 1st and 9th battalions will stay on the front line of Panshan and Heishan to pretend that the main force of our regiment is still on the Panshan and Heishan lines. At the same time, two cavalry battalions will be implemented. The battlefield is blocked to ensure that the Japanese scouts do not know our army's intentions before the main force of the regiment launches the offensive."
"Two cavalry battalions are missing." Xu Rui shook his head and said, "At least three cavalry battalions are needed!"
"Yes, yes, the Japanese First Division has a cavalry brigade!" Wang Husheng also said, "So only two cavalry battalions are sent to implement battlefield interception. It is indeed too few. In my opinion, three cavalry battalions may not be enough. Otherwise, send four battalions?”
"Three battalions are enough. We are not going to engage in a cavalry showdown with the Japanese." Xu Rui shook his head and said, "Besides, we have the cooperation of the aviation brigade."
"Understood." Du Junjie immediately picked up a pencil and marked it on the map, and then continued, "In this attack, the tank battalion will lead the second battalion as the main attack, the third and fifth battalions will protect the left wing, and the fourth and sixth battalions will The battalion protects the right wing, with the seventh, eighth and remaining three cavalry battalions in reserve.”
Xu Rui asked again: "What's the time for the general attack?"
Du Junjie said: "The time for the general attack is tentatively set at one o'clock in the afternoon. We will arrive in Fuxin four hours after the start of the attack, Xinmin in about eight hours, and Fengtian in another hour. Even if there is a delay on the way, we can still ensure that Arrive outside Fengtian City before midnight, just in time to coordinate with the actions of the Wolf Fang Brigade."
Xu Rui raised his wrist and looked at his watch. He saw that the hour hand was already pointing to 10 a.m., and there were less than three hours left before the general attack. He nodded and said, "Ajie, give orders to each battalion."
"Yes!" Du Junjie agreed, then turned around and hurried into the communications office.
Soon, the order from the regiment headquarters was issued to each battalion. The nine infantry battalions, six cavalry battalions and tank battalions belonging to the Chahar Independent Regiment immediately took action. Sixteen fighter jets of the independent flying brigade were also used as one. The echelons were divided into twelve echelons and roared into the sky from the military airports in Peiping and Tianjin.
…
Sanglin Town, the headquarters of the First Division.
The phone in the Communications Department suddenly rang frequently, and the greetings from Asahi Asahi rang even louder. Yokoyama Isamu, who was looking at the map in the war room, immediately turned his head and looked over. Soon, Chief of Staff Kiki Minoru came from The communications officer came out, walked up to Yokoyama Yong and nodded heavily, with a solemn look on his face.
Yokoyama Isamu waved his hand and asked, "Kugu-kun, what's going on?"
Kitani said in a deep voice: "I have just received a report from the forward observation post that the main force of the Chahar Independent Regiment has entered the line of Hujia Town and Gaoshanzi Town, and has launched an attack formation, but..."
"But what?" Yokoyama Isamu said impatiently, "Kugu-kun, don't always be so hesitant when talking."
"Hai!" Mugu Shiten said, "But what is strange is that we only saw the infantry of the Chahar Independent Regiment, not the tank troops. In addition, there is another strange thing. South of Panshan, A large number of Chinese cavalry suddenly appeared north of Montenegro and are currently hunting down the search party of the 2nd Cavalry Brigade."
"Baga, what is Xu Rui doing?" Hengshan Yong is an old Japanese who has experienced many battles, and his sense of battlefield is still very keen. He frowned and said, "Does he want to implement battlefield interception? Could it be that Chahar The independent regiment is going to launch military operations south of Panshan and north of Montenegro?"
"Hai!" Kitani Santo said, "Based on the actions of the Chinese cavalry, it is undoubtedly implementing battlefield interdiction."
"But it may be that he is trying to create doubts." Yokoyama Isamu did not feel complacent because of Mitani Minoru's agreement. Instead, he took the initiative to overturn his own judgment and continued, "After all, Xu Rui has always been deceitful in his military use. Who knows if this is him He deliberately ordered the cavalry to intercept the battlefield, making us mistakenly think that he was going to make sudden detours on both wings of the battlefield, and then lured us to divide our troops on the two wings. When we divided our troops on the two wings, he then concentrated his troops on us to attack from the front!"
"This..." Koutani was speechless for a moment, because Yokoyama Yuu was right about the pros and cons, and no matter what he said, it was wrong, so he could only shut up.
After a pause, Hengshan Yong said confidently: "Yes, that must be the case. It must be Xu Rui who is spreading suspicion, but I am not the idiot Anan Weiji. It may not be that easy for me to be fooled!"
After finishing speaking, Yokoyama Isamu turned to Kitani again and said: "Kutani-kun, order the 1st Cavalry Regiment, the 15th Cavalry Regiment and the 16th Cavalry Regiment to attack across the board to carry out counterattacks in the areas south of Panshan and north of Black Mountain. Interception! Doesn’t Xu Rui want to use battlefield interference to confuse the imperial army? I will give him a counterattack!"
"Hai!" Kugu Minoru paused, turned around and hurried away.
…
"Hey~~" Ma Fei gently stopped his horse, turned around and shouted, "Er Gouzi!"
He Ergou quickly urged his war horse to catch up with Ma Fei and responded loudly: "Batalion Commander, you called me?"
Ma Fei hummed softly and asked again: "Send a brother over to ask this fellow countryman where he is?"
He Ergou then turned around and glanced at the more than ten cavalrymen who were accompanying him. The ones responsible for implementing the battlefield interception this time were the First Cavalry Battalion, the Third Cavalry Battalion and the Seventh Cavalry Battalion. He is responsible for blocking the battlefield south of Panshan. In fact, he is a reconnaissance cavalry that hunts down the Japs, thereby cutting off the Japs' intelligence sources.
For this reason, the cavalry battalion must disperse its operations as much as possible.
At this time, only half of He Ergou's cavalry platoon was left beside Ma Fei.
Ma Fei casually clicked on a veteran, and the veteran immediately rode towards the small village ahead.
After the Japanese occupied the three northeastern provinces, in order to encircle and suppress the anti-Japanese armed forces in the Northeast, they carried out the inhumane merging of villages and gathering the common people into individual circles, thereby cutting off the connection between the democratic anti-Japanese alliance and the common people. However, the Jijia The village merging policy was mainly implemented in Heilongjiang and Jilin. Liaoning was spared because there were few anti-union activities.
However, the fact that the little devils did not implement the policy of collecting families and merging villages in Liaoning Province does not mean that the people of Liaoning will have a good life. In fact, the little devils also carried out cruel plunder on the people of Liaoning, such as forcibly taking all the properties owned by the Chinese people. The good land was unreasonably allocated to the armed colonization groups who immigrated from Japan.
In addition to forcibly occupying good land, the Japanese also committed more atrocities, such as not allowing Northeasterners to eat rice! Those who talk about how the three eastern provinces prospered under Japanese rule and became the richest region in Asia are all nonsense. They are all rumors maliciously fabricated by people with ulterior motives to whitewash the Japanese invaders!
In fact, this is indeed the case. Riding the first battalion along the way, the people in the villages along the way are all very good. It is even more common to encounter homeless people and beggars who have died of starvation on the roadside. Obviously, under the cruelty of the little devil, Under the rule, the people in the three eastern provinces could not even fill their stomachs!
The veteran who was sent out soon came back and reported: "Batalion Commander, this is called Qinjiatun."
"Is this Qinjiatun?" Ma Fei took out the map and found the location of Qinjiatun from the map. He then made a good gesture and found that Qinjiatun was almost twenty miles away from Heishan County, so he immediately stopped. He picked up the map and said, "Er Gouzi, give the order, spread out the attack formation, and continue patrolling to the south."
"Yes!" He Ergou agreed. Just as he was about to rein in his horse and turn around, he suddenly heard the faint sound of horse hoofbeats.
Ma Fei heard the sound of horse hoofs almost at the same time. He turned around and saw a group of Japanese cavalry approaching quickly from the southeast along the field road. The Japanese cavalry were wearing khaki military uniforms and were following the officers and soldiers of the Chahar Independent Regiment. The blue homespun military uniforms they wear are clearly different and easy to identify.
"Batalion Commander, devil!"
"It's the Japs Cavalry!"
"The devil is coming!"
The dozen or so cavalrymen accompanying him also noticed it and immediately started shouting.
Ma Fei drew out his saber with a clang, raised the blade to the sky above his head, and howled loudly: "Brothers, charge!"
After roaring, Ma Fei urged his war horse to be the first to face the Japanese in front. The duel between cavalry was not that fancy. The brave one wins when they meet on a narrow road. Just charge forward and do it!
