Chapter 128 Encirclement and Counter-encirclement
Xu Yan was nervous inside, but he appeared calm on the surface.
From time to time, he would play chess with Cheng Jun, or drag the staff officer to play poker together. In short, he would find different ways to pass the time!
The order has been issued, and now all we have to do is wait!
Cheng Jun's mind couldn't calm down at all. This was a large-scale operation involving more than 100,000 troops and 10 divisions! If we count the troops to contain and confuse the enemy, the force would be even greater. Half of the entire border defense force was involved!
If by any chance there is a mistake in any link, the consequences will be devastating!
"General Cheng, you lost again! Can you concentrate on playing chess?" Xu Yan said helplessly to Cheng Jun.
"Prime Minister, I am really at a loss! Until now, there is no news at all! This..."
Cheng Jun threw the chess piece in his hand on the table and said.
"We have done what we should do. Now we just have to wait and see what they do. We can no longer intervene. All we can do is wait." Xu Yan said calmly.
"Head of State! This is most of our wealth! We can't afford to lose it!" Cheng Jun expressed his concerns.
"I believe in our troops, and I believe even more in our soldiers! I believe even more that justice will triumph over injustice! We have led them to the mountains, which means we have already achieved 80% of our success!"
"The leader is right!" Cheng Jun nodded heavily.
"Report! The 332nd Division reports that their vanguard has occupied most of Susurba! They are engaging in a fierce battle with part of the enemy's th Guards Division!"
"What do you mean by occupying most of the area? Tell them that they must take down Susurba within three hours! Completely cut off the enemy's retreat route to the north!" Xu Yan said with some dissatisfaction.
"Pass the order and tell them that I don't need them to lie about their military achievements! I don't need their exaggerations! I just want the result! I just want the enemy's 14th Army! If we let an enemy escape, you will no longer be the corps commander!" Xu Yan said sternly.
When Liu Fengquan received Xu Yan's telegram, his face was extremely ugly. At this time, his troops were still on the way to attack! All of them were rugged mountain roads, and the marching speed was greatly reduced. He was now at the forefront, and he certainly knew the difficulties.
He also knew that if Xu Yan's goal could not be achieved, the entire border defense force would be completely passive!
"Order the troops to reach the designated location within the specified time at all costs! Whoever fails to complete the combat mission will be beheaded!" As the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Front, Liu Fengquan also has to coordinate and control the 221st Division assigned to him. Moreover, the 221st Division led by Jiang Chao is indeed capable of fighting!
In comparison, the troops of the Third Corps were slightly inferior.
Song Yunzhong, the commander-in-chief of the Western Front, is an old man in the Dongning Army. He can be said to be Lei Zhenting's favorite student! He is indeed a fierce general in battle!
But fighting under Xu Yan's command for the second time was really hard to understand. Xu Yan's large-scale mobilization made Song Yunzhong feel dazzled!
He has nearly five divisions of troops under his command. Xu Yan is really generous!
Since Fang Tianlong needed to guard the southern border, the Second Legion was personally brought to the front line by Xu Yan and was split into two parts.
The troops of the Second Legion were truly a force of tigers and wolves! Even though the roads were rugged and uneven, and they had to rely on their feet to march, the troops of the Second Legion were still faster than those of the Fourth Legion.
This time, his western front will be responsible for most of the attack missions, so he cannot afford to be careless!
On January 17, the 10th year of the Huali calendar, the war was about to break out.
"Report! The 322nd Division has successfully occupied Susurba, cutting off the enemy's retreat route to the north!"
"Reporting that part of the 334th Division has occupied the northern and eastern parts of Numuqin, and the 404st Independent Brigade has occupied the western and southern parts of Numuqin! The encirclement of the enemy's th Division has been completed!"
"Report! The 221st and 301st Divisions have occupied Hadatai, completely cutting off the enemy's communication!"
"The 234th Division has occupied the positions around Hadaban and has completed the fight with the 244th Division against the enemy's 87th Division!"
"The 421st and 433rd Divisions have completed the encirclement of the Taohe Sumu area! The enemy is desperately trying to break out! But they have been beaten back by our army!"
The staff officer explained the current situation in one breath.
Cheng Jun could no longer contain his excitement. Standing in front of the map, looking at the enemy and our own situation marked by the staff officer, he couldn't help but burst into tears!
"Prince! In this small space, we have nearly 200,000 troops on both sides! We are really dancing on eggs! It's too dangerous!"
"Yes! If the enemy breaks through any of these three loose encirclements and joins forces, it will be a devastating disaster for us! So we must fight quickly and decisively! Don't give the enemy time to react!"
At this time, in the command post of the 4th Guards Division, Lieutenant General Tinkov, commander of the 14th Army of the Soviet Army, still had an arrogant look on his face!
Looking at the enemy and our situation on the map, Jingkov was not worried at all! Because he still had a secret force that he hadn't used! He was not worried about being surrounded at all, on the contrary, he felt that this was the best time to annihilate the Japanese!
"Send a telegram to Marshal Georgil! Tell him that we have successfully attracted the enemy's main force! We will be like a giant magnet, firmly sucking these enemy troops here! Marshal Georgil, please quickly send troops south! Completely eradicate the so-called border guards!"
All the officers and staff present were stunned. What a dare! We are clearly surrounded and trapped here, and you are still talking about magnets!
When will Georgil arrive? He has to wait until the flowers have withered! Can the entire Eastern Military Region gather so many troops?
Everyone seemed to be looking at a madman, staring at him closely, full of vigor and energy! Tinkoff, who had fallen into a state of madness, was secretly worried about his own fate!
