In his command room, Matsui Iwane not only thinks for himself, but also mobilizes all his staff to find a way. What method can be used to crack the enemy's "blitzkrieg"? "Blitzkrieg" doesn't even have a door. Only a country with a vast territory like the Soviet Union, after burying millions of elite troops, came up with "great defense in depth" to crack Germany's "Blitzkrieg". It is absolutely impossible for Japan's small land to produce that kind of tactical thinking. It is said that the current battlefield is that the distance from Changzhou to the Sideng Line does not exceed 150 kilometers. What does Japan use to build a large defense in depth.

Although Matsui Iwane, a cunning old devil, didn't think of a way to crack the "blitzkrieg", he definitely wouldn't sit still. He hastily ordered the third division, which has been surrounded in Changzhou city, to stand by and wait for help. At the same time, he stepped up the construction of street fighting fortifications in the city .

As for the troops in the field, Matsui Iwane ordered the 9th Division to establish several defensive lines in front of Rommel, and asked the 9th Division to dig a large number of anti-tank trenches. After receiving the order of Matsui Iwane, Lieutenant General Di Zhou, Also helpless.In such a short period of time, there was no way to dig a large number of anti-tank trenches. Thanks to the reminder of a staff officer, Dizhou Libing turned his worries into joy:

"Your Excellency, Head of the Division: Because our cannons were basically lost under the bombing of the Chinese Air Force, but we have enough shells and we also have a lot of explosives. Why don't we just dig a hole in the ground and put a few shells or With a large amount of explosives, we can use shells and explosives to directly blow out a large crater, which can also hinder enemy tanks."

Xiaori himself is indeed not stupid, and he quickly solved the biggest problem of anti-tank trenches. Even the foxholes of the little devils can be blown out with explosives or shells. The defense line of the 9th Division of the Army is still [-] kilometers away, and it will reach the Japanese position in half an hour. I don't know how Rommel, the so-called "Desert Fox", will face the continuous ups and downs in front of the small Japanese position. Big pit.

All kinds of information on the battlefield were also sent to Zhang Jun's command room in a timely manner. A huge sand table was placed in the middle of the command room. Deputy Army Commander Yu Jishi, Shi Zhongzhong, Chief of Staff: Qiu Qingquan, and the Staff Group: German Professional Staff All ten people gathered around the sand table, discussing the current battle situation in low voices. Judging from the joyful look on their faces, it can be seen that the battle situation is developing very smoothly.

"Commander Zhang: This is a telegram sent back by the reconnaissance plane. There are about one division of the enemy in front of the Rommel armored assault group. They are using artillery shells and explosives in large quantities to blow up various large pits. At the same time, it is found that there are about two divisions. Avoiding the frontal defense line, piercing through from the rear of Rommel's armored assault group on the east and west sides, and a large number of Japanese troops shrinking towards Danyang City."

The correspondent handed Zhang Jun a telegram and a large number of aerial photos. After reading the telegram, Zhang Jun carefully checked the photos. This kind of aerial photos can truly reflect the deployment of Japanese troops. In such an urgent situation, It is impossible for Little Japan to have the energy to "direct" such a large false military transfer.

According to these information, Zhang Jun can analyze Matsui Iwane to come up with the following points:

First, Matsui Iwane's tactical arrangement can be summed up as defensive counterattack, interspersed encirclement, and cut off logistics.Little Japan's very effective trick is to outflank. Other troops may be afraid of Little Japan's trick. Zhang Jun's 74th Army is a fully mechanized army and relies more on logistics, but the problem is that Little Japan is capable of defeating the enemy. Only the more than [-] German armorers behind Rommel can cut off the logistical supply of Rommel's armored assault group. Matsui Iwane overestimated the combat effectiveness of his army. With just two Japanese divisions, he wanted to defeat ten Dowande Machinist, that is simply a fool's dream.

Regarding Zhang Jun, he made corresponding deployments. The 88th and 87th German Armor Divisions of the Central Yang Army established defense lines to block the two detour troops of the Japanese Army. , Go south with all your strength, keep up with Rommel's offensive pace, and the task of encircling Changzhou City is fully handed over to other central yang or local troops.

Second, Zhang Jun judged that Matsui Iwane had given up his plan to fight back on the Sideng Line. According to front-line intelligence, after the Japanese army occupied the Sideng Line, the Japanese army did not blow up the permanent cement fortifications on the Sideng Line. When Zhang Jun presided over the construction, there were only shooting holes on the two fronts, but there were no shooting holes in the two directions facing the trenches. The Japanese army suffered heavy casualties on the Xideng Line in the second stage of the Songhu Battle. If it weren't for the support of the Chariot Wing, the casualties would have been even more severe. The casualties were so high that they hadn't broken through the Sidon Line. It was entirely after the Squadron voluntarily abandoned the Sidon Line that the Japanese army fully occupied the Sidon Line. Now The squadron recaptured the Sideng Line. Xiaori wanted to break through easily, but that was absolutely impossible. Zhang Jun estimated that Matsui Iwane must regret it to death, why didn't he order to blow up those damned permanent fortifications!There is no regret medicine in the world.

Third: Zhang Jun judged that the old devil Matsui Iwane was going to put all his eggs in one basket. He built a defensive position full of bomb craters in front of him to block his frontal armored assault group, and then sent two divisions to outflank his rear. Matsui Iwane was I want to eat my own armored assault group, this appetite is really too big, just relying on the Japanese army of the three divisions, without the support of the air force and a large number of artillery, I want to eat my 74th army, It is also too whimsical.For Matsui Iwane's battle bet, Zhang Jun followed up and sent corresponding troops to deal with it. There shouldn't be any major problems.

Fourth, Zhang Jun could feel that Matsui Iwane was aware of his current huge crisis, and ordered some troops not participating in the war to quickly shrink their defenses to Danyang City, just to fight a trapped beast and wait for domestic reinforcements or changes in the international situation.Matsui Iwane definitely knows that the Chinese commander is a German Chinese, and Matsui Iwane has definitely received a notification about Japan's request for Germany to recall the German instructor. Matsui Iwane believes that as long as the German "devil" leaves, China will The factional struggle and power struggle within the *team will create a good opportunity for yourself to turn defeat into victory.

After analyzing some relevant tactical arrangements of Matsui Iwane in his mind, Zhang Jun immediately sent a report to Rommel and Gui Yongqing of the Zhong Yang Teaching Team:

"Order Rommel to immediately lead the 74th Army Armored Assault Group and the 51st and 57th Divisions to bypass the frontal Japanese defense line and go back to the rear of the Japanese army to attack. Zhong Yang taught the [-]-strong infantry to attack from the front."

Zhang Jun's arrangement is of course reasonable. The various big pits in front of the small Japanese position are a deadly threat to tanks. If you fall, you don't want to come up, but the infantry is different. They need bunkers when attacking!And the big pit that the little devil blew up is a very good bunker!These big pits make it easier for Chinese soldiers to approach Little Japan's position. Little Japan really dug a hole to bury himself. According to aerial reconnaissance, Little Japan only blew up countless big holes in front of him, and behind him, because of time constraints , There are no fortifications at all, so it seems that the 9th Division of Little Japan is already the meat on the cutting board of the squadron, and you can chop it anyway.

Rommel took more than 74 people from the 5th Armored Army, more than 1000 cars and countless carriages, and began to circle at a speed of 2 kilometers per hour. A standing division in Japan has about 2000 people. Almost five lines of defense have been established, with 9 people on each line of defense. Even if there are some other scattered troops to help the 9th Division defend the flanks, the Japanese army in the entire 3th Division's position will not exceed 9. The Japanese army behind the division did not come up for reinforcements, or approached the 9th division, but instead retreated to Danyang City. It seems that Matsui Iwane is making two-handed plans. If the troops sent by Matsui Iwane are surrounded or annihilated by the Chinese side, Matsui Ikenen and Danyang City are in his hands, but there is little Japan's material hoarding place, so there can be no difference.

After Zhang Jun gave the order, he felt that he was really too tired. In the past few days, commanding battles, he basically rested for no more than three hours a day, and was woken up by various military situations. Water face, then drink a cup of espresso, and start the day's work again.Zhang Jun's handsome face turned pale now, because of the lack of rest and sun exposure, Yu Jishi saw the exhausted Zhang Jun, and asked with concern:

"Commander, is your body still able to support it? Why don't you go and rest, I'll keep an eye on it here, and I'll call you if there's a serious military situation."

Zhang Jun, who was smoking a cigarette, took a deep puff of the strong cigarette, let the nicotine infect his lungs, regained some energy, and then said to Yu Jishi very tiredly:

"Then please General Yu, I will take a nap on the sofa in the command room, and ask General Yu to order the air force to clear the way for Rommel's armored assault group, so that Rommel can use the minimum sacrifice and cost to detour to the enemy's rear."

……

Zhang Jun went to take a nap on the sofa in the command room, and Yu Jishi temporarily took over the command. Everyone in the former enemy general headquarters admires Zhang Jun's five-body admiration. No one doesn't like a general who can bring them victory, no matter how elite the troops are , If you fail consecutively, you will lose all morale, because Zhang Jun is now only a colonel in the German SS, but he commands as many as 55 troops, and there are a lot of Chinese lieutenant generals and generals under his command. To avoid the embarrassment of their commander-in-chief, they all took the initiative to call Zhang Jun "commander-in-chief" instead of his military rank.

Two hours later, Zhong Yang taught more than 3 people from the corps to reach the front of the 9th Division of the Japanese Army, and began to make preparations before the attack, such as deploying cannons, calculating the elements, sending artillery observers and reconnaissance troops, etc. An hour later, Long Mei Rommel will reach the back of the 9th Division and launch an attack. The sound of Rommel's cannon is the signal for the simultaneous attack agreed upon by each other.

Zhong Yang in the front taught more than 3 people in the corps to form a formation, which really made the Japanese army feel like they were facing a big enemy, and used most of their troops for frontal defense. Little Japan knew that the order received by the 3 people was a feint attack , is to let the soldiers from both sides climb into the big pit to confront the Japanese army, fight a war of attrition, and attract the strength of the Japanese army, but the real ultimate move is Rommel's armored assault group, which can reduce the casualties of our own soldiers to a minimum. , to maximize the advantages of the armored assault group.

An hour later, the battle started as promised, and Gui Yongqing didn't hold back. As soon as he came up, he sent half of the soldiers to disperse and climb into various shapes of pits in front of the Japanese army's position, and started a mid-distance confrontation with the Japanese army, while Gui Yongqing The cannons are also desperately bombarding the Japanese positions. In such a war, it is obvious that the Japanese army will suffer a lot, but the Japanese army has no choice but to bombard the Chinese cannons and confront the Chinese squadron. Countless gunpowder smoke rose into the sky from the battlefield, and at the same time, they flew into the air with the devil's stumped limbs and arms.
