Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 2596 Reconnaissance and Anti-reconnaissance
The passage that Guderian talked about is the relatively narrow road that circles Laerbu Mountain to the south, and it is also the east three to south road marked by Jiang Tiezhang on the map. Five to the vast area of ​​South Thirteen.And Nan Shisan was the place where he let Fu Chaocheng's independent chariot brigade hide.

Jiang Tiezhang once thought that once Guderian led the main force arrived, he would definitely launch an offensive immediately.Because the current battle situation between Osa and Sabi is obviously unfavorable to Army Group A, if Manstein wants to change the situation, he can only rely on the rapid insertion of the Second Panzer Army.The Second Armored Army is famous for its blitz, and is good at fast maneuvering operations. Guderian and his generals are definitely not willing to lose their speed advantage easily.Jiang Tiezhang was already prepared for a hard fight, so when Guderian changed his normal posture and assumed a cautious posture, he was not used to it.

"Strange, what are the Germans doing?" Seeing that the Germans were busy setting up tents and building fortifications on the open land below the mountain, Jiang Tiezhang was puzzled.Because he really can't believe that the Germans will fight a protracted war with him, isn't that just in his favor?Guderian shouldn't be so "kind", right?Later, he received reports from various reconnaissance teams and learned that the Germans were doing the same thing in the east area about [-] kilometers away from Mount Larb, where a large number of oil tankers were parked. He vaguely Understand Guderian's attempt.

"Guderian wants to build a supply station here. It seems that he has realized the threat of Yanauer," Jiang Tiezhang said to himself while touching the mustache on his chin while holding the map.

"That also means that he will leave some troops to guard the supply station," Lu Deyang answered.

"Will the Germans clear the Larb Mountain pass?"

"Probably not, this is a huge project. You have also seen that the remaining members of the German Cavalry Division [-] are retreating to areas other than the mudslide."

"Then the Germans can only take this road," Jiang Tiezhang pressed his right index finger on the road marked "South Road [-]".

"This is not the only choice for the Germans, but it is definitely the best plan. I heard that the chief executive has ordered an offensive in the Sabie area, so even if Guderian wants to fight steadily, I believe Manstein will urge him to speed up the use of troops. speed."

"Contact Captain Jiang of the helicopter, please keep in touch with Fu Chaocheng. Fu Chaocheng still needs some infantry support, Lao Lu, you go!"

"Yes!" Lu Deyang raised his head in response. In the distance of his sight, a German reconnaissance plane was approaching at high speed.

Guderian tried every means to find out the strength of the Chinese army in Larbu Mountain before making a decision. He not only sent a number of reconnaissance troops but also used reconnaissance planes, but until about [-]:[-] noon, he still did not respond. Detailed information can be obtained.As a mountain force of old guerrilla origin, the Southward Detachment was already good at sniping and camouflage.This is precisely the weakness of the German soldiers of the Second Panzer Army.Therefore, in front of the veteran Chinese guerrillas headed by Jiang Tiezhang, the elite scouts of the Second Armored Army always attacked bravely, and then returned in disgrace.At this time, because a large number of Chinese troops appeared in the Sabi area, and the Chinese side organized considerable artillery preparations, Manstein had to ask Guderian to join the battlefield quickly in a relatively harsh tone. Under the pressure, Derian has actually lost the time and strategic foundation to play steadily.It is precisely for this reason that he made a small mistake when formulating the next step of action. He actually decided to leave the [-]st Cavalry Division and the [-]th Motorized Division to guard and defend the Larbu Mountain area , He personally led other troops to quickly go north from the "South Second Road".

"You have already suffered a defeat at the hands of the Chinese. There is an old saying in the Chinese that it is wise to learn from a fall. I hope that you can get up from where you fall and defend the supply point of Yanauer for the main force. Why do you have a sad face? Artillery and chariot units, I will give you a full complement. But, I don’t want to hear any black news about which unit has been trapped by the Chinese, do you understand what I mean?” Before leaving, Gu Derian specially called Medeles and Mortier and said this to them.

Guderian's strength is well-known in the Second Panzer Army. Since he ordered the [-]st Cavalry Division and the [-]th Motorized Division to stay behind, even if they were unwilling, what could they do? Woolen cloth?Facing Guderian's reprimand, the two could only be obedient.

The Germans were extremely efficient. Guderian decided to go north quickly from the South Second Road on the front foot, and then set off with a regiment-sized search force on the back foot.At the same time, Lu Deyang's department also began to move towards the South Thirteen area at high speed.

Regardless of whether Medelez and Mottier have the aptitude to gain wisdom by eating a fall, Guderian obviously has it.The army did not move, he not only sent a regiment-sized enhanced search force, but also sent six fighter planes to strengthen the reconnaissance of the enemy ahead.

Compared with Guderian who knew almost nothing about the Southward Detachment, Jiang Tiezhang had a better understanding of the situation of the Second Armored Army.So when he saw the six German fighter planes, his brows immediately frowned.

The armor of the Second Armored Army was too powerful. Even if Fu Chaocheng's independent tank brigade could successfully ambush, it would be quite a hit. That's why he tried every means to get the support of the helicopter squadron.But now, because the German army is escorted by fighter planes, and fighter planes are the nemesis of helicopters, Jiang Tiezhang has to start thinking hard about how to break this situation.

The current position of the German army is only [-] to [-] kilometers away from the South Shisan area, even if you count the curve. At the current speed of the German army, it can be reached in an hour and a half at most.But Larbu Mountain is about [-] kilometers away from Sabi, and more than [-] kilometers away from the front-line airport behind.So Jiang Tiezhang didn't dare to delay at all, and immediately called Zhang Zizhong, asking him for air support.

Whether or not the time for the Second Armored Army to enter the battlefield can be delayed is directly related to the overall strategy of the Sino-Soviet Army. Zhang Zizhong did not dare to be careless after receiving Jiang Tiezhang's request for help. He immediately contacted Chen Chong and asked him to do his best no matter what difficulties he was facing now. Immediately provide a certain scale of air support for the southward detachment.

After the decisive battle between Osa and Sabi started, Chen Chong's air force was undoubtedly the busiest force.Because he not only has to provide air support and security for the coalition forces, but also provides certain support for the Soviet Russians.Therefore, when he received Zhang Zizhong's order, he had only five fighters at his disposal, including one that was being repaired at the airport.
