The best way to prevent the Japanese from carrying out a deep and roundabout encirclement is to destroy the enemy's living forces and disrupt the operational steps.

Li Hong pondered for a moment and said, "Chen Lin, you go back to the battalion headquarters immediately and wait for the battle order at any time." ”

"Yes, Tuanza!"

Chen Lin saluted, quickly turned around and ran out of the headquarters.

With the plan of the 14th Brigade to fight the devils, Li Hong found the place Wuqiaoling on the map, and then he personally led people to Wuqiaoling for topographic survey.

Wuqiaoling is located 25 kilometers southwest of Tangji Town, and the surrounding terrain is relatively complex, with undulating mountains and rolling hills.

This map in Li Hong's hand is a high-proportion and high-standard marching combat map, judging from the map, there is no clear route near Wuqiaoling, and the 14th Brigade of the Devil chose the Wuqiaoling path to intersperse detours, at least more than 30 kilometers closer than the main road on the map.

It is not surprising that the little devil is so familiar with the terrain, and it is no exaggeration to say that the Japanese army knows the Chinese terrain even better than we Chinese ourselves.

The only thing the devil didn't expect was that China's area was too big, the population was too large, and the destruction of China in three months could only be an empty slogan.

Two hours later, Li Hong arrived near Wuqiaoling.

This time, he came out to survey the terrain, and did not bring troops out, only two signal soldiers and a few guards squad soldiers by his side.

"Let's go, go to the mountains!"

Li Hong held a pair of high-powered binoculars in his hand and quickly climbed to the top of Wuqiaoling Mountain.

The mountain ridge is not very high, that is, about 200 meters, and the trees around the mountain range are sparse and bare, and there is not much shelter.

When he reached the top of the mountain, he picked up the telescope and observed, his gaze slowly extended, sometimes moving the telescope.

Soon, the nearby terrain of several kilometers was under Li Hong's eyes, with river ravines, villages, and several winding roads and mountain roads.

The original map was no longer usable, and the route around Wuqiao Ridge was not clear, so he had to draw a new sketch to clearly mark any topographical points.

Li Hong found a gentle place at the top of the mountain, took out a pen and paper, and drew a sketch with his head down.

It took more than ten minutes for the map to be drawn.

Then, he led his subordinates to climb several ridges in succession, and went to the saddle hills, canyon ditches, and mountain villages on the south side of the Wuqiao Mountains for five kilometers, and surveyed the terrain and landforms on both sides of each mountain road and road.

After a busy afternoon, Li Hong surveyed more than ten kilometers of routes back and forth.

When I returned to the regimental headquarters, it was already dark.

Li Hong exchanged a set of military sand table model maps from the system mall, this sand table map is very expensive, and the cheapest sand table also costs 3000 merit coupons.

With the help of the light and tools in his hand, he fiddled with the mud and sand to repair the rockery road, and then placed the made rockery, fake water, and fake houses on the sand table, and finally planted small flags in some high-terrain positions.

According to his own survey and topographic memory, Li Hong even clearly marked every high ground, mountain, hill height and route distance, and the terrain position on the sand table did not deviate from the actual terrain in the slightest.

Li Hong stared at the laid sand table for a while, nodded with satisfaction, and called out to Xiao Hu, the guard squad leader.

Xiao Hu returned to the team ahead of schedule yesterday, originally he wanted to promote Xiao Hu to be a guard platoon leader, but after thinking about it, after all, Xiao Hu's guard work experience is insufficient, so he temporarily let him be a squad leader and practice more long-term knowledge.

"Tuanza, what's the matter?"

"Xiao Hu, come and take a look." Li Hong beckoned to Xiao Hu at the door of the headquarters.

"Tuanza, what is this, how does it look like real mountains and real waters?"

Xiao Hu stared at the landscape of the sand table in confusion, thinking about something.

"What do you think this sand table looks like? Do you see anything? Li Hong smiled mysteriously and asked Xiao Hu.

Xiao Hu touched his head, looked at the sand table map carefully, and said in surprise: "Tuanzuo, I can see that the terrain and road on this sand table are not the Wuqiao Mountains that we went to survey in the afternoon?" ”

In fact, Li Hong has a name on every terrain object, but Xiao Hu doesn't know how to read.

"Hehehe!"

Li Hong suddenly laughed a few times.

Even a person who doesn't know much about conventional military affairs can understand the terrain of the sand table, and the rest of the military commanders who lead troops to fight will know everything as long as they look at the sand table map.

"Tuanza, you drink coffee to refresh yourself." Xiao Hu brewed a cup of coffee and came over.

Li Hong took the cup, took a sip of coffee, patted Xiao Hu on the shoulder, and said, "Okay, it's okay, it's cold at night, let the guards wear more." ”

"Yes, Danza."

Xiao Hu closed the door of the headquarters and went out.

Li Hong lit a cigarette, took a few puffs vigorously, he held his chin, and paced and thought alone in front of the sand table.

At this time, he was thinking about a grand ambush battle plan.

Li Hong had imagined in his heart that based on the analysis of the terrain around Wuqiaoling, the front and rear marching routes of the 14th Infantry Brigade of the Devil could reach more than ten kilometers.

If the security regiment ambushes the 14th Infantry Brigade of the Devil, judging by his current combat effectiveness of the security regiment, he can cause about 2,000-3,000 casualties to the enemy at most.

Most of the security regiments are soldiers who have never been on the battlefield, and it is absolutely impossible to eat an elite devil brigade with an ambush battle.

If you want to smash the roundabout encirclement tactics of the little devils, then you must eat this 14th Infantry Brigade, as long as this brigade is annihilated, the enemy's forces are insufficient, and the encirclement tactics will have no strategic effect.

He was thinking now that it seemed not impossible to eat the 14th Infantry Brigade of the Devils, because there were other friendly brother units within a hundred kilometers of his garrison defense area.

The independent regiment Li Yunlong was 50 kilometers away, Chu Yunfei of the 358th regiment of the Jin Sui Army was 45 kilometers away, Ma Yong's 321st regiment was 40 kilometers away, and Zhao Wenchao of the 386th regiment, and some other troops were also stationed nearby.

Li Hong, every unit here, understands their combat effectiveness, and if he can unite them to attack the 14th Infantry Brigade of the Devils, Li Hong will have at least seven points to grasp the total annihilation of the Devil's Brigade.

Of course, Li Hong is not the commander-in-chief of the theater, so where can he mobilize these elite troops at will.

He sat down and thought about it for a while, and soon, a sly evil smile appeared on his face.

"Communications squad leader!"

"Tuanza, please instruct!"

The communications squad leader in the headquarters put down the headset and walked over.

"Immediately send a telegram to the 321st Regiment, the 386th Regiment, Li Yunlong's Independent Regiment and Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment, saying that it will be New Year's Day and New Year's Day soon, and I, Li Hong, invite several of their regiment commanders to come over for a meal of meat, and there is also a batch of weapons, equipment and medicines to send them!"

The leader of the communications squad did not quite understand the deep meaning of Li Hong's words, so he just sent a telegram to these regiments according to the original words dictated......
