Faced with the dilemma of being surrounded by little devils on both sides, Chen Changjie was so anxious, he couldn't sit still in the command headquarters at all, if it wasn't for his subordinates to stop him, Chen Changjie would have wanted to go to the front line with a weapon.

As a high-ranking general, Chen Changjie is not a person who loses his square inch when he encounters a critical military situation, mainly because he sees the enemy's true intentions.

The old devil of Itagaki transferred the most elite 21st Brigade over, and the main strategic purpose was to defeat the 22nd Division, and the siege was secondary.

The Japanese army divided its forces to attack various areas, in order to let the 22nd Division disperse its forces to defend, so as to break through various towns and cities until all units of the 22nd Division were completely wiped out.

In addition to attacking Lüliang, Linfen was also their target.

If Li Hong hadn't had the foresight to let the 22nd Division leave a brigade to defend against the defense, I'm afraid that Linfen would have been occupied by the 6th Brigade of the Little Devils.

Chen Changjie's troops are in danger, and there are no other troops in the war zone that can be reinforced, even if they are reinforced, the little devils will definitely launch a blockade.

At this time, the commanders of the theater were discussing how to relieve the siege of the 22nd Division in the camp war room.

Two hours earlier, Li Hong had received a telegram from the war zone, which had asked him to come to the camp as soon as possible to participate in the military meeting.

As soon as he received the telegram from the war zone, he rushed to the war zone camp without stopping.

Li Hong stood at the door and knocked on the door of the war room, shouting: "Report, Li Hong, the head of the security regiment, has been ordered to come!" ”

"Li Hong, don't be restrained, come here!"

Wei Boru urgently called Li Hong into the combat command room.

Wei Boru was indeed a little anxious at this time, the 22nd Division was the most elite combat unit in his lineage.

Chen Changjie's troops are in a situation where they may be surrounded and annihilated by little devils at any time, and at this time, it is impossible for anyone to be calm and relaxed, and they don't care!

Next to a sand table map, there were more than a dozen high-ranking generals standing around.

The expressions of these generals were complicated, with anxiety, worry, and grimness.

Li Hong strode to the side of the sand table map and saluted the generals.

Xiao Yuehua, director of the war room, briefly told Li Hong about the war in the Luliang area.

In terms of military rank and position, the officers who can direct military intelligence and warfare in the camp war room must be at least at the division level, and Li Hong is an exception.

Chen Tingxiao looked at Li Hong and said with a slightly grim expression: "Li Hong, the 22nd Division was besieged by the Japanese 21st Brigade and the 113th Wing in Luliang, and the 22nd Division is currently in a very critical situation, do you have any good strategies to break the siege?" ”

Li Hong's gaze turned to the sand table map, and at the same time, his mind was thinking carefully, analyzing the distribution map of the situation between friend and foe.

Judging from the current situation of the 22nd Division, Chen Changjie's troops have only two choices, one is to immediately order a retreat, and the second option is to fight the little devils to the end and hold on to help.

In Li Hong's view, the result of these two choices is the same, the little devils have a large number of troops, the attack is fierce, and the Luliang area will fall one after another.

The generals just now had already discussed for a while, and some people advocated that the 22nd Division should immediately retreat and transfer while it still had combat strength, while others insisted that the 22nd Division hold on and wait for reinforcements.

Once Chen Changjie's troops retreated, a large area of towns would fall, and if they continued to hold on, the 6th Brigade of the Little Devil would definitely send troops to block it.

Li Hong thought for a moment and said rigorously: "Commanders, with all due respect, it is not advisable to retreat and hold on to waiting for help. ”

He spoke astonishingly, refuting and overturning the claims and opinions of all the generals.

The generals looked sideways and looked at Li Hong in surprise, they wanted to hear what Li Hong had to say.

Li Hong turned around and took the baton handed by a lieutenant, and then, he held the baton and pointed to the sand table map, and expressed his views on the battle situation with quick thinking.

"Commanders, please see, this is the 6th Brigade of the Japanese Army attacking Linfen, this is the position of the 21st Brigade and the 113th Wing attacking Luliang Town, and the position of Division Commander Chen's troops."

He pointed his baton at the troop distribution points on the sand table map, paused for a few seconds, and then continued.

"The old devil of Banyuan is very clever in this game of chess, the 6th Brigade attacking Linfen is like a nail embedded in front of our defense area, in fact, the enemy has two military campaign purposes, one is to contain and absorb our troops, and the other purpose is to be able to block and cut off our troops at any time to reinforce Luliang."

After listening to Li Hong's opinion, the officers nodded their heads in agreement with this analysis.

At this moment, Li Hong took a long-term strategic vision, and he was not only considering the Luliang Campaign, but also the overall situation strategy of the entire central, western, and southern regions of Shanxi.

Wei Boru seemed to see that Li Hong had any concerns, and he said indifferently: "Li Hong, if you have anything to say, you can say it directly, don't worry about it." ”

Li Hong looked at the generals and said slowly: "Ladies and gentlemen, the little devil is playing chess, and he wants to play a bigger game of chess, so I don't know if you dare to hand over the chessboard and chess pieces to me." ”

The chessboard and chess pieces he was talking about were military command and troops, and the generals present didn't need to say what they meant.

Wei Boru looked solemn and said loudly: "What grand strategy do you Li Hong have, just say, I, Wei Boru, give you the chessboard and chess pieces!" ”

What Li Hong wants is Wei Boru's words.

He picked up the baton again, pointed to the map and analyzed: "Commanders, if you want to reinforce the 22nd Division, you must first send heavy troops to besiege the 6th Brigade of the Japanese Army, so that the enemy will not be able to draw troops to block our troops from reinforcing Lüliang, but the Japanese army attacking Lüliang will in turn reinforce the besieged 6th Brigade, and this siege of Wei to save Zhao is the first step tactic." ”

"The second step is to encircle the point and send reinforcements, our troops are not only besieging the 6th Brigade, but to completely surround and eat it, and the task of sending reinforcements can be handed over to the lowly security regiment."

"The third step is to divide and encircle and annihilate, as long as the little devils on the Luliang front line reinforce the 6th Brigade, I and Division Commander Chen's troops can concentrate our forces to flank the devil reinforcements before and after, if the little devils do not reinforce the 6th Brigade, then I will take the security regiment and go straight to Luliang to encircle and annihilate the 21st Brigade of the devils......"

Li Hong's battle plan was a big battle, and the 6th Brigade of the Devil Devil had to mobilize at least 30,000 people, but it was really not an easy and simple matter to mobilize so many troops to fight at once.

After listening to the battle plan, the generals became serious one by one, and they were all carefully considering whether to play this big game of chess.

The generals present could not deny that this was indeed a perfect tactical strategy, which could not only destroy a large number of enemies, but also solve the siege of the 22nd Division.

It's just that everyone is worried that as soon as so many troops are mobilized, the defenses of all defense areas will be weak, and the other troops of the devil have been eyeing each other and want to take advantage of the weakness.
