"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, if the battle of Jiang Hongyu's troops starts at midnight, will it affect the effectiveness of the air force's air support?" Utsunomiya Taro, deputy chief of staff of the coalition forces and commander of the Japanese Third Army, frowned at the side. In the view of the Japanese army general, the air force may not be able to clearly distinguish whether the ground troops are the Soviet Red Army or the coalition forces during the day. What if they are accidentally injured at night when they are blind? That would be a big deal.
Hearing this, Wang Geng spread his hands helplessly and said, "Obviously the enemy is not a fuel-efficient lamp. They have already experienced the power of the coalition air force. They may have deliberately marched overnight, hoping to rest during the day to avoid our reconnaissance and bombing!
Fortunately, the Allied Air Force has been in existence for almost a year, and now it basically has the ability to fly at night. Although the effect of ground attacks at night is much worse, it is still manageable. The key is to have better air-ground coordination. Jiang Hongyu The Ministry must light a fire on the ground to indicate the direction, and the radio communication must be kept open! "
"Commander-in-Chief, how about ordering Jiang Hongyu's troops to wait until dawn before attacking?" Wu Peifu, who was standing by, suddenly came up with an idea.
"Man is not as good as God. The ambush position of Jiang Hongyu's troops has been prepared. If he withdraws to the east at this time, the marks left on the ambush position are enough to alert the opponent's vanguard troops. What's more, the enemy will not march during the day and will only attack What should we do if we march and fight at night? We cannot avoid it. The coalition forces cannot be afraid of night battles. What if the Soviet Red Army finds our weakness and will move and launch attacks at night every time in the future?¡±
Wang Geng shook his head when he heard this, obviously not intending to make his team bad at night fighting!
"Can you send a small group of troops to harass and delay the opponent's march, preventing him from breaking into Jiang Hongyu's ambush position in the middle of the night?" Wu Peifu was unwilling to accept it, and in the blink of an eye he came up with another idea. The power of strafing is a big killer, and he doesn't want to have an own incident like a bomb being thrown on his team's head.
"Deputy Chief of Staff Wu, your method is not impossible. The problem is that the opponent's fifth group army has three infantry divisions with a total of 30,000 people. If you send a cavalry battalion with hundreds of cavalry, they will not take it seriously at all. How can you delay it? Stop, but it will speed up the opponent's pursuit!" Utsunomiya Taro said disapprovingly.
"You should do other things. Strengthen air-ground coordination. Ask Jiang Hongyu's troops to indicate targets to the air force from the ground. At night, light them with fires to form huge landmarks. This can prevent aircraft bombs from being dropped in the wrong direction. As for Obviously, we can only wait until daybreak to launch strafing, otherwise it is likely to hit the ground directly!¡±
The commander-in-chief of the coalition forces Wang Geng interrupted the two deputies. Night battles faced the same difficulties for both sides. They could only avoid accidental injuries as much as possible. If the weather was bad and that was not possible, the air force had to win the battle without dispatching. !
"Commander-in-Chief, if Jiang Hongyu's troops kill the three divisions of the opponent's North Route Army in the north, what will happen to the enemy's main force in the middle? We have not adopted the strategy of division and annihilation against the Fifth Army's South Route Army and the Ninth Army. , just after finishing the opponent's Northern Route Army, the opponent's main force will still have nearly 200,000 troops! When the time comes, they will swarm to the north to pursue Jiang Hongyu's troops. Even with the reinforcements of Xiong Shihui's troops, our troops in the north will be smaller. How can we fight this battle if we only have one-third of the opponent's strength?" Wu Peifu expressed his doubts!
"Yes, Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, I have the same situation. Tukhachevsky made a desperate move. After they joined forces, they did not come to rescue the Rzhevsky cluster in Chernigovka first. Instead, they went north to find Jiang Hongyu's troops. Decisive battle, what should we do?" Utsunomiya Taro also frowned.
Wang Geng had already considered this issue when he sent Xiong Shihui to serve as the second echelon of the North Road. In fact, the problem Wu Peifu and Utsunomiya Taro raised may indeed arise, that is, after joining the Soviet Union, there are 200,000 people in the southern cluster. If he does not go east, The Rzhevsky Group, which came to Ufa to rescue the besieged Chernigovka, instead went north to find a decisive battle with the coalition forces that annihilated three divisions of the Fifth Army's Northern Route Army.
If this is the case, the situation will be even more complicated. Jiang Hongyu and Xiong Shihui's 60,000 people have to deal with the Soviet Eastern Front's Southern Cluster of 200,000 people. Sun Liangcheng's and Li Mingzhong's detours in the south will not be possible for at least three to five days. The troops rushed to the north to join the war in the direction of Ufa.
The four divisions of the First Ufa Army surrounded Rzhevski with 30,000 troops. The remaining troops that could be mobilized were three newly arrived Russian recruit divisions and the four divisions of the Second Ufa Army, plus two The understrength 4th and 5th Ural Cavalry Divisions, of course, the Ufa Northeast Airport Base Camp and the remaining two mixed brigades of the Xiong Shihui Division.
"Tell Hawkeye to strengthen aerial reconnaissance. My plan is to use Jiang Hongyu's 25,000 troops to eat up the three infantry divisions of the opponent's Northern Route Army. At this time, if the main force of the Soviet-Russian Southern Cluster goes north to find us for a decisive battle, then we Just fight and retreat and take him in a circle.Our mobility is better than his. If we run, the Soviet Red Army will definitely not be able to catch up! "
"If the main force of the Soviet Union's South Cluster is strong and does not send all troops to the north, but only sends six to eight divisions north to relieve the siege, this is the most likely, because the remaining troops have to rescue the besieged people under Ufa City. Lezhevsky cluster, so we can use the 60,000 men from Jiang Hongyu¡¯s and Xiong Shihui¡¯s troops on the north route, and with the cooperation of the air force, we can destroy the reinforcements from the other side¡¯s six to eight divisions heading north!¡±
"There is also a possibility that after the three divisions of the opponent's Northern Route Army were annihilated by us, he did not understand our reality in the north and thought that the main force of the coalition forces was dispatched there. He may not dare to come north to challenge our main force. Instead, he may take the opportunity to head east. -Surprise and use 200,000 troops to rescue Lezhevski and even attack Ufa!" Wang Geng analyzed the possible scenarios of the battle one by one.
"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, is it possible that after the fall of Orenburg, the fall of the Urals, and the annihilation of the three divisions of the Northern Route Army by our side, Tukhachevsky was frightened. After receiving reinforcements from the Fifth and Ninth Group Armies, In the end, is it possible to not go anywhere, but to turn around and retreat to the left bank of the Volga River to the west, so that we can escape?" Utsunomiya Taro thought for a moment and asked suddenly.
"If Moscow knows that we intend to wipe out the main force of his Eastern Front in one go, this possibility is not impossible, but considering that the strength of the coalition ground forces has not been exposed much, and the Southern Cluster of the opponent's Eastern Front is almost concentrated on the Eastern Front For all the main forces on the battlefield, in this case, the decision to retreat directly instead of attacking to relieve the siege would be difficult for the opponent's commander to make! If the Eastern Front's southern cluster has more than 200,000 troops and has obtained food, grass and ammunition! Supplies, but if you don¡¯t dare to fight, many people in the southern cluster may lose their futures and positions.¡±
Wang Geng shook his head slightly and analyzed.
"Commander-in-Chief, since Yegorov's Ninth Army has escorted food and ammunition for reinforcements, why don't we dispatch the air force to attack. Even if we can't burn them all to the ground, it would be better if we can burn some of them, right? "Wu Peifu rolled his eyes and made another move.
"That's right! Our air force is so powerful, it would be a pity not to use it properly! Air attack the Ninth Army and take out all its food, grass and ammunition. Let's see how they fight after they join forces! There is an idiom in China, it's not called what. , Right! Let's get rid of the fire!" Utsunomiya Taro said anxiously.
"The reason why we did not attack the opponent's Ninth Army, which was replenishing food and ammunition, was to give Tukhachevsky a thought, or in other words, to cut off his excuse to completely flee back to the left bank of the Volga River. If we send the Ninth Army If the transported food and ammunition are destroyed prematurely, their strategic intention of reuniting and attacking Ufa will have to be abandoned and postponed. This will interfere with our strategic goal of gathering together to annihilate them, so leave them to him first! !¡±
Wang Geng explained with a smile, Damn, this is actually the same as the problem of wounded people. It is to increase the burden on Tukhachevsky's southern cluster. You have wounded people, you can't just leave, you have reinforcements. If you don¡¯t have enough food, ammunition and troops, you have no reason to withdraw!
