Lei Yunfeng received an order from Commander Wei to lead the 54th Regiment to leave Wangjiazhuang, quickly advance to Qinshui, almost ten kilometers closer to Qinshui, and saw a forest in front, Lei Yunfeng ordered the troops to rush to the front of the forest to suspend the advance and enter a state of concealment and standby.

In order to contain the 108th Division of the Japanese Army that was attacking the West Route Army on the West Front of the Zhongtiao Mountain in Yongji City, Lei Yunfeng decided to give up the sneak attack behind the enemy to contain the attacking enemy, and boldly adopted the tactic of 'encircling Wei to save Zhao' and ordered the troops to move closer to Qinshui City.

The 108th Brigade of the 71st Division of the Japanese Army, the Takeda Bing Ichijie Division, and the Japanese Qinshui Station Headquarters received an order from the Japanese military headquarters to evacuate Qinshui City, one to advance to Jicheng and Quwo, and the other to cooperate with the 20th Division to attack Yongji. At this time, there was only one squadron and part of the remaining troops in the station, as well as a regiment of Huang Xiejun.

Lei Yunfeng did not know how many soldiers the Japanese army deployed and logistics units in Qinshui City, once he blindly ordered the 54th Regiment to attack Qinshui, it was counterattacked by the enemy's strong forces and firepower, and the surrounding Japanese troops were rapidly reinforced, and the 54th Regiment would be attacked by the enemy.

Lei Yunfeng, who was cautious, ordered Su Xiaoyan to immediately get in touch with the Japanese translator who stayed in Qinshui City and Pang Yuting, the inner line he developed, to find out the Japanese army's troops in Qinshui City and the surrounding areas.

Su Xiaoyan quickly contacted Pang Yuting, and Pang Yuting gave a simple and clear answer based on a few questions raised by Lei Yunfeng.

Su Xiaoyan, who received the call back, handed the telegram to Lei Yunfeng, and after reading it, Lei Yunfeng handed it to the deputy head Hou Sheng, Fang Shichao and Zhu Zhensheng, and the three of them asked puzzled after reading it: "Boss, weren't we ordered to raid and harass the 20th and 108th divisions of the Japanese army attacking the Western Route Army on the periphery of Yongji?" What does this telegram mean? ”

"In order to harass and contain the Japanese army attacking Yongji City, in order to relieve the pressure of our Western Route Army holding on to Yongji City, it is more effective to adopt the tactics of encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao."

Lei Yunfeng will tell you in more detail about the tactics of containing the enemy and cooperating with the Western Route Army to block the Japanese army's offensive tactics, and the regiment and battalion commanders feel that it is simply whimsical to use only the 54th Regiment to attempt to capture Qinshui City, which is left behind by the puppet army for seven or eight hundred days.

Once a large army launched an offensive on Qinshui City, the Japanese puppet army carried out frantic fire resistance with the help of strong fortifications and could not be attacked for a long time, and the 20th and 108th divisions of the Japanese army attacking Yongji City were reinforced, and the 54th Regiment would inevitably suffer from the situation of being attacked by the enemy.

In the case of being flanked by the enemy on the belly and back and being attacked by the enemy's powerful firepower, the 54th Regiment will lose the opportunity to attack Qinshui City and fall into the dangerous situation of being surrounded by the enemy.

Lei Yunfeng listened to everyone's active expression of their opinions, and basically agreed that if they want to contain the 20th and 108th divisions of the Japanese army attacking our Western Route Army, it is best to take sneak attacks and harass behind them, and once the Japanese counterattack can quickly retreat.

That is, by using the guerrilla tactics of the Eighth Route Army, it is necessary to quickly withdraw as soon as it can be fought, and then attack the enemy when it sees the opportunity, so that it will more effectively protect itself against the enemy and play the role of containing the enemy's main force.

In other words, the regimental and battalion officers of the 54th Regiment have already understood the guerrilla tactics of the Eighth Route Army a little interestingly, and have laid a good foundation for how the troops will carry out guerrilla warfare with the enemy in the future.

Although he was pleased with everyone's analysis and speeches, he had his own unique ideas on how to contain the enemy this time, and he broke them down as follows:

The discussion was very intense, and I wanted to do so at first, but through the information that I returned from contacting my own people lurking in the inner line, that is, this telegram that you have seen, I have a bold idea.

That is, although the Japanese army stayed in Qinshui City for seven or eight hundred days of puppet troops, there was only one squadron of the Japanese army with combat effectiveness. happy

In order to protect the safety of Qinshui City, where the main force had withdrawn, the Japanese army built a gun tower in Sujiazhuang, 1,000 meters south of the city, and Majiadu, 1,200 meters north of the city. Each turret sent a squad of Japanese soldiers and a company of puppet troops to garrison.

In addition, a Japanese army squad and a puppet army platoon were arranged to hold the city gates at each of the four city gates, and a small team was also sent to protect the military station that had not been completely withdrawn and left a large number of supplies, and this military station was an important logistics supply base for the 20th and 108th divisions of the Japanese army attacking Yongji City of our West Route Army.

The strength of the Japanese army's Gaoben squadron left behind in Qinshui City, and the Huang Xiejun's security regiment were so scattered that there was only one or more Japanese squads that could be put into battle immediately, and the strength of the Huang Xiejun should be less than one battalion that could be concentrated in the battle.

Lei Yunfeng finished the analysis of the strength of the Japanese army and the Huang Xiejun army left behind in Qinshui City, and then said: "The main task of our 54th Regiment is not to capture Qinshui in one go, but to encroach on the artillery towers and scattered forces of the Japanese puppet army from the periphery.

If the enemy reinforcements in the city are added, they will fall into the ambush circle we have set up, and if they cannot completely destroy the Japanese reinforcements, they will be able to consume the main force of the Japanese garrison. Once the Japanese strongholds entrenched in Sujiazhuang and Majiadu were defeated, we launched an attack on the four gates of Qinshui.

Squadron Commander Samoto, the commander of the Japanese army who stayed behind, once he felt that he was in danger of breaking the city by holding the city, he was bound to ask for help from the 20th and 108th divisions of the Japanese army that attacked Yongji City of our Western Route Army.

The 20th and 108th Divisions of the Japanese Army will never watch their important logistics supply bases being occupied by our troops, and will definitely send troops to reinforce them, and at least send a wing to quickly pounce on Qinshui, so that the defenders of Yongji City will be relieved of the pressure of blocking the enemy's large troops.

If the 20th and 108th Divisions of the Japanese Army underestimate our 54th Regiment, we will devote the entire 54th Regiment to the attack on the Qinshui Campaign, as long as we capture Qinshui City and cut off the logistics supply depots of the 20th and 108th Divisions of the Japanese Army, the Japanese army will not have a steady supply of weapons, ammunition, and military supplies, and will be in chaos.

Everyone should bear in mind that once the enemy and us start a fierce battle and gradually fight a protracted war, the two sides will not win a single gain, lose a city, or a place, but whether or not the logistics and materials will be guaranteed. ”

Lei Yunfeng saw that everyone was listening attentively, and then analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the 54th Regiment and the Japanese puppet army left behind in Qinshui, and finally said: "You don't know what opinions you have on the analysis and explanation I just made. ”

The regimental and battalion officers who attended the meeting were shocked when they heard what Lei Yunfeng said in simple terms.

They would never have thought that this young little white face would be so shrewd in setting up a battle array.

Even Hou Sheng, Fang Shichao, Zhu Zhensheng, and Su Xiaoyan, the brothers who followed Lei Yun Feng to fight the enemy's life and death, felt more and more that Lei Yun Feng was really terrifying, and they didn't dare to recognize it.

Especially Han Nina, the arrogant eldest lady who has not been in contact with Lei Yunfeng for a long time, every time she listens to what Lei Yunfeng said at the meeting, she feels very reasonable, and it sounds strange but shocks her.

In particular, the use of simple examples to illustrate unacceptable topics in the discourse has the final effect that everyone is quickly captured by him, and they are happy to become loyal practitioners of his new tactics.

Lei Yunfeng saw that everyone had a high degree of unified understanding, stood up and ordered solemnly: "Order the special battalion special agent reconnaissance company and the armed plainclothes teams of each battalion to immediately leave the team and go to the Qinshui area to investigate, report the reconnaissance information at any time, and all of them must return here within two days." Here the troops entered the stage of general recuperation, waiting for the order to act. ”
