Chapter 42 Operational Strategy Formulation

"Regiment commander, there are more than 15,000 Japanese troops on the North Road. And it is also personally commanded by Kenichi Muto, the head of the Devil Division, and his strength is strong. At present, we only have more than 7,000 people left in our hands, and the opponent is twice the size of our regiment, so I am afraid it will be difficult to fight. Zhang Dabiao said worriedly.

Kenichi Muto personally commanded the 15,000 Japanese troops attacking on the northern route, which was too strong, well-equipped, and combat-ready.

The key is that the Japanese army on the south road will inevitably advance synchronously with the Japanese army on the north road, so that once he first attacks the enemy on the north road, Zhang Dabiao feels that it will be troublesome for the enemy on the south road to kill him.

Li Yunlong smiled, pointed to the map of several provinces in North China in front of everyone, and said: "Judging from the map, the 25,000 troops of the 2nd Division of the Japanese Army attacked our department in two directions. If we hadn't received information from headquarters, it might have been possible that Kenichi Muto would have succeeded in a surprise attack. After all, we have just finished the ambush battle at Pingxingguan, and the brothers are also a little tired and not very vigilant. ”。

"It's just that we already know the information about the attack of the devils. In this way, we have the advantage of foresight, and we can greatly exert our advantages by deploying our combat strategy in advance. Now our disadvantage is that the strength of the troops is weaker than that of the little devils. ”

Ma Wenhai, the commander of the third battalion, said loudly at this time: "Regiment commander, just like the 6th Division of the Japanese army ambushed before, let's find a helper!" ”。

"Looking for help from the 28th Regiment and the Independent Regiment?" He Yongjie, the commander of the fourth battalion, said loudly.

Ma Wenhai nodded and said, "Not bad!" At least the 28th Regiment and the Independent Regiment cooperated with our 6th Division to ambush Tanisoo, which was very good. It is possible to gather several fraternal troops together and concentrate their forces first to eat the Japanese army on the northern route. ”。

Just before Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang could speak, a regimental soldier suddenly hurriedly walked out from the door of the regimental headquarters communication office and handed the telegram in his hand to Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong looked at it for less than ten seconds, and immediately raised the telegram in his hand: "The big guys may not be able to count on the 28th Regiment and the Independent Regiment, and the new 2nd Regiment 15 kilometers away from us can't be counted on. The fraternal units in our vicinity have all been attacked by various units of the little devils on the base areas of the fraternal troops to varying degrees. Although there are not many troops, the devils' attacks on the base areas of the brothers' troops are very frequent, and they are afraid that they will not have extra troops to send out. ”。

"Commander, it seems that Naosaburo Okabe's movements are fast! This is to hold back our brother forces that can support us! In order to create conditions for the division of troops of the 2nd Division! Zhao Gang said in a condensed voice at this time.

Once only the new regiment had to deal with the surprise attack of the two-way army of the Japanese 2nd Division, the adverse impact on Li Yunlong and others increased.

Sure enough, after Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang finished speaking, the battalion commanders below and the company commanders all talked about it.

"Calm down, big guy! As the saying goes, no condition that is absolutely perfect is good for us. Although the brother troops cannot be dispatched to cooperate with us, we cannot give up the counterattack against the 2nd Division of the Devils! I consulted with the political commissar and acted according to the plan of attacking the Japanese army on the north route first. ”

Li Yunlong waved his hand and said to everyone: "The political commissar will take the independent battalion and some recruit troops to stay in the base area, and the rest of the first battalion, second battalion, third battalion, fourth battalion and four divisions, plus most of Wang Chengzhu's artillery troops are also dispatched, light and heavy machine guns can be brought as much as possible, we will go east to Heng Mountain, and prepare to set up an ambush in the mountains north of Wei County!" Half an hour later, the troops assembled at the mouth of the Jinlong Gorge and prepared to set off secretly! ”。

"Yes, Captain."

Li Yunlong gave this order, and everyone could only stand up and salute one after another, and then immediately returned to the various troops to assemble the troops and prepare to set off.

And Li Yunlong said to Zhao Gang: "Old Zhao, my hometown will be handed over to you." This time, I took four battalions to complete the formation, with a total of 6,000 people, to ambush the devils. Don't worry, our current armament, ammunition are enough to support it. You have to have confidence in my Lao Li! ”。

"Don't worry about the base area, there are more than 1,000 people left behind to defend it! You kid have to be careful, once the ambush is unfavorable, withdraw to the base area in time! I'll send troops to pick it up! ”

Li Yunlong nodded and said, "Okay, you can rest assured!" By the way, political commissar, you immediately send a report to the brigade headquarters, requesting that on the Jinghan railway line, between Beijing and Zhengding, once our ambush battle starts, ask the brigade headquarters and even the headquarters to order our army's guerrillas around this section of the railway to dispatch to sabotage the railway and delay the action speed of the Japanese army on the Guizi South Road! Try to stagger the synchronization meeting and time of the Japanese army in the north and south! ”。

"No problem! I will send a report to the brigade headquarters and the headquarters later, and it is estimated that the headquarters and the brigade headquarters will agree! Zhao Gang said, this is something that Zhao Gang did not expect, but it can be done by dispatching guerrillas to delay the attack speed of the 3rd Brigade of the Japanese Army on the South Road.

After all, blowing up the railroad tracks is likely to force the devils to get off the train and march, and this will be completely staggered from the time when the Japanese army on the northern route led by Kenichi Muto will be completely staggered. When Li Yunlong led his troops to ambush the Japanese army commanded by Kenichi Muto, there was no chance for the Japanese army on the southern route to kill them.

"Okay, then let's get ready!" Li Yunlong laughed, not afraid of the arrogance of the Japanese 2nd Division's surprise attack.

And just when Li Yunlong and others quickly assembled their troops in the Hengshan base area and set off, at this time, in Taiyuan City, the military headquarters of the First Army of the Japanese Army, and several devils were also discussing the raid of the 2nd Division on the Hengshan base area.

"Commander, I received a call back from Kenichi Muto, and they have already divided their troops and set off in two ways! For now, everything is going well. Taro Miyano, chief of staff of the First Army, who was holding the telegram, walked quickly from the communications office on the side of the military headquarters to Naosaburo Okabe in the war room of the military headquarters, and said in a condensed voice.

Okabe Naosaburo snorted, and directly took the telegram handed by Taro Miyano and read it for at least a minute, "Yo Xi, it seems that Kenichi Muto's action of splitting and attacking is very fast!" Miyano-kun, do you think Kenichi Muto can successfully defeat Li Yunlong's department? ”

"According to the report of the Imperial Army units that attacked the 28th Regiment and the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, the New 2nd Regiment and other units close to the base area of the new 1st Regiment of Hengshan, there is no change in the Hengshan base area for the time being. The news of the secret entry of the 2nd Division is estimated to have not been received by Li Yunlong's department for the time being! Looking at this situation, the success rate of the 2nd Division being able to suddenly raid the base area of the new regiment in Hengshan should be seven! ”

Okabe Naosaburo couldn't deny it, but he was still very worried in his heart, after all, the new regiment and several other regiments of the Eighth Route Army rushed to ambush and kill the 6th Division under the command of Gu Shoufu in Qiaogou Gorge, east of Pingxingguan. Although the plan of the 2nd Division is good, if it is discovered by the other side, I am afraid it will be a little difficult to fight.
