"So you have to be careful! I mean, we have three councils and a total of more than 18,000 troops. In order to avoid an ambush and reinforcement of the Japanese troops near Pingxingguan when the 6th Division was encircled and annihilated, it was necessary to send troops to block it. ”

Li Yunlong pointed to the map on the table and said in a condensed voice.

Both Ding Wei and Kong Jie stood up and carefully inspected the terrain around Pingxingguan, the town, and the enemy's troop deployment.

Ding Wei, the head of the 28th regiment, took the lead in speaking out: "Lao Li, what do you think?" The brigade commander told us two, this time the 28th Regiment and the Independent Regiment both cooperate with your command, you kid will coordinate the command! ”。

"Not bad! Let's talk about Lao Li, how are you going to fight? ”

Kong Jie, the head of the independent regiment, also nodded and said, the recent achievements of the new regiment have made the two guys who are not convinced by Li Yunlong understand that Li Yunlong's current command ability is very good! And the ability to coordinate troops has increased! What's more, there are still brigade commanders' orders to obey this kid, so naturally he has no opinion.

Li Yunlong didn't expect Ding Wei and Kong Jie to be so cheerful, so he stopped talking nonsense, "Okay! Lao Ding, Lao Kong, look! To the east of Pingxingguan is a long ditch bottom, with mountains on both sides, and the road at the bottom of the ditch is a direct road to Lingqiu County. Judging from the contents of the operational meetings held by the devil officers of the 6th Division commanded by Okabe Naosaburo and Tani Toshio that we have obtained, the 6th Division is bound to go out to Lingqiu County through the Pingxing Kanto region with great fanfare, and then go north along the Guanshui River to our base area. ”。

"Therefore, Lao Ding, your 28th regiment will send some men and horses to Yingcheng and Hunyuan to guard and block it. Lao Kong, you want to command the brothers of the independent regiment to capture Lingqiu County, Guangling, Wei County, and Sanshan Town after the battle starts, and block the Japanese troops coming from the direction of Laiyuan! However, the blocking and reinforcements in the direction of the two wings can only send one man and horse to move. Our 6th Division, which ambushed Tanisoo, must be around 14,000 men. ”

Li Yunlong pointed to the map and said with a solemn expression.

Ding Wei said: "The reinforcements from the two wings and the troops blocking the attack add up to only about 4,000 people?" ”。

"Then it's a little tense with troops, and it's probably a little difficult for 4,000 people to block the Japanese troops coming from both flanks." Kong Jie said worriedly, the blocking force should be divided in two directions, and there are only 2,000 people in each direction, and once the Japanese troops who can't bear the two flanks to reinforce Gu Shoufu break through, things will be troublesome.

At that time, the ambushed own troops will be in a situation of Japanese counter-encirclement, and then it will be troublesome.

It's just that Li Yunlong said in a condensed voice: "The 6th Division of the Japanese Army is one of the two divisions that can be fought most in the Japanese country, the 6th Division, also known as the Kumamoto Division, this time it urgently ended its rest from Jinling City, and according to the order issued by Hirohito himself, it was airlifted north, except for the cavalry wing, the main force of the rest of the divisions and regiments were all airlifted north, more than 23,000 people. This is a powerful Japanese division, and the strength of the ambush must be around 14,000 men to have a safe success rate. ”。

After a pause, Li Yunlong continued: "As for the forces in the direction of the two flanks that Lao Ding and Lao Kong are worried about, I have ordered the local guerrillas and armed engineering teams that belong to our army behind enemy lines near the Hengshan base area to dig and break the road, lay mines, and shoot cold guns on the road that the Japanese reinforcements must pass through after the battle starts, so as to delay the reinforcement of the Japanese reinforcements. According to preliminary estimates, the armed forces behind enemy lines will be able to dispatch at least 20,000 troops. ”。

"Then there's no problem!" Ding Wei clenched his fists and said.

Kong Jie also nodded, Li Yunlong's response was good, at least 20,000 armed forces behind the enemy were familiar with the terrain around Hengshan, cooperated with the regular army to fight, and it should not be a problem to persist until the end of the battle of the ambush of the Japanese 6th Division.

Seeing that Kong Jie and Ding Wei had agreed to his battle plan, Li Yunlong continued to discuss the details of the ambush with Ding Wei and Kong Jie.

At this time, everyone in the regimental headquarters of the new 1st Regiment on Hutou Mountain was discussing the operational details of the ambush of the Japanese 6th Division at Pingxingguan.

In Taiyuan City, in the military headquarters of the First Army of the Japanese Army, Okabe Naosaburo and Gu Shoufu were discussing the details of the next troop dispatch.

Because Yoshio Shinozuka was finally shot dead by the Eighth Route Army after trial, and the Eighth Route Army finally telegraphed, the Chinese military and civilians all over the country knew the news that the commander of the First Army of the Japanese Army, Yoshio Shinozuka, was killed.

Naturally, this greatly boosted the morale of the Chinese military and civilians, and Naosaburo Okabe, who temporarily flew to Taiyuan City to take over the military power of the Japanese First Army and took over the post of commander of the First Army, had to discuss with Gu Shoufu again about the operation against the Hengshan base area.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, Commander Shinozuka was eventually killed. But I, Gu Shoufu, will guarantee that after the next day, the Hengshan Base Area and the new regiment will not survive in the world! Minister Oka, don't worry! Seeing Naosaburo Okabe, who looked unhappy, Gu Shoufu patted his chest and promised.

Since the 6th Division stepped into the land of China, it is rare to meet opponents, and Gu Shoufu is a little lonely.

At this time, Gu Shoufu paid the slightest attention to whether he could kill Xin Yituan and Li Yunlong, but he still despised Xin Yituan very much in his heart.

After all, for Gu Shoufu, how could the new regiment survive the attack of more than 23,000 people of the 6th Division face to face! Even if the Japanese special combat team did not attack from the back of Hutou Mountain to carry out the flank attack, Gu Shoufu felt that it would not be very difficult to attack the Hengshan base area.

You know, in order to strengthen the fortifications, the 6th Division will carry twelve 120mm howitzers for artillery cover. According to the report of the Japanese soldiers who escaped after the Japanese army attacked Hengshan under the command of Yoshio Shinozuka, although there was only one artillery gun with a very fast rate of artillery fire in the new regiment base area of Hengshan. The rest are infantry guns, mountain artillery, etc., and there are not a few heavy howitzers.

And Gu Shoufu has a heavyweight artillery force of 120 mm howitzers and 36 field guns in his hands, which is enough to destroy the Hengshan base area.

Seeing Naosaburo Okabe's unhappy appearance, of course Gu Shoufu patted his chest and reassured.

"In any case, this time, your department directly received an edict from His Majesty the Emperor and airlifted north to specifically encircle and suppress the new regiment in Heng Mountain, and the responsibility is heavy. The commander of Gu Shoufu's division should not be careless, Li Yunlong is a person who can crisscross Jin Province, Hebei Province, Lu Province, Chahar, and Suiyuan Province, and his command ability is not simple. Therefore, I have ordered the 5th Air Brigade stationed at Taiyuan Airport to be responsible for covering you from the air! ”

Okabe Naosaburo got the news that Yoshio Shinozuka was finally tried and killed by the Eighth Route Army, and knew that the new regiment would not be afraid because the 6th Division went north.

After all, with so many people from the 6th Division airlifted north, it was easy for people to know about the situation of the 6th Division going north.

I believe that at this time, Li Yunlong is probably already thinking about how to deal with the attack of the 6th Division on his map.
