Chapter 314 Li Lei's Encirclement and Destruction Plan(2/2)
If he wants to attack Nanchang again, he doesn't have that many troops at all.
In Nanchang, there is much chance of winning in the battle in Changsha.
Now the Sixth Division has lost one-third of the loss and air support, and its combat effectiveness has been greatly weakened.
Moreover, his tank was also blown up by Li Lei's plane.
It can be said that the current Sixth Division basically has light weapons left.
At this time, it is possible for us to attack several times the force and encircle and annihilate the Sixth Division.
After Lao Luo sent the telegram, the tiger looked at the map.
This plan is very bold, unlike Lao Luo who can propose it.
The Chief of Staff nodded: "Indeed, Deputy Commander Luo is more cautious in fighting. This plan to encircle and annihilate the 6th Division of the Japanese Army is very risky.
Our troops in Hunan are the closest to Nanchang, the Eighth Army of Commander Li.
But that is two hundred kilometers.
It is almost impossible to get to Nanchang in 48 hours.
Our troops are not mechanized and cannot be compared with the Japanese army.
If our troops do not arrive in Nanchang on time, the 6th Division will be able to capture Nanchang City.
Then we will be passive.”
The tiger frowned and thought carefully about the Chief of Staff's analysis.
That's right, fighting the Sixth Division is just the time.
First, the Eighth Army must reach its designated position within 48 hours and launch an attack on the Japanese army.
Second, Deputy Commander Luo's 60th Army must be able to stand firm in Nanchang and wait until the arrival of the Eighth Army.
If one of these two is not realized, not only will the Sixth Division not be eliminated, but Nanchang will also be lost.
Should I take this risk?
Ten minutes later, Tiger Zai asked: "Where is the Xinyi Brigade now?"
The Chief of Staff said: "Li Lei's new brigade is still in Nanshan, but according to Deputy Commander Luo's tone, if he encircles and annihilates the 6th Division, he will let the new brigade withdraw from Nanshan and attack the 6th Division directly from the flank."
"Give up the Nanshan position?" The tiger cried a little surprised.
In front of the Nanshan position, there are two regiments of the Japanese Second Division. If Li Lei's new brigade withdraws from the Nanshan position, the two regiments of the Japanese army will occupy Nanshan.
In this case, Li Lei's new brigade may be attacked from both sides.
"Send a newspaper to Li Lei and ask him what he thinks." Tiger Zai said to the Chief of Staff.
At this time, Tiger Zai must figure out Li Lei’s thoughts and plans, otherwise he would not be able to make up his mind.
There are a lot of uncertainty in this plan.
He could not give orders rashly.
Zhao Gang read the telegram from Tiger Zai.
Li Lei said: "My initial plan is like this.
We only have a small amount of troops in the Nanshan position. As long as we still have troops, the two regiments of the Second Division will not attack.
Our New Third Regiment and the Second Independent Regiment are waiting for orders. Once the Wanjialing retreats, our troops will immediately move. On the east side of Nanchang, we will launch an attack on the flanks of the Japanese Sixth Division."
Li Yunlong answered Li Lei's plan and said, "The plan is very good, but what if these two Japanese regiments in front of us suddenly attack the Nanshan position? At that time, our troops are insufficient, and Nanshan will not be able to defend it.
If the Japanese army occupied Nanshan and drove straight to Nanchang, then our new brigade would be attacked from both sides.”
Chu Yunfei nodded: "Brother Yunlong is right.
In that case, our new brigade will be in danger.”
Li Lei smiled and said, "Don't forget that the Second Division is in front of our position.
That's our old rival.
Three Japanese corps have been buried here in the Nanshan position.
The two regiments of the Second Division will definitely not attack easily.
