More than a dozen strongholds in the no-man's land were attacked at the same time, and there were many large and medium-sized strongholds in them.

With such a large-scale attack, the possibility of the garrison regiment wanting to be silent is too low.

News of the attack on the no-man's land came from a large stronghold attacked by the Datong Independent Battalion.

The telegram was first sent from the stronghold to the nearest county seat, then from the county seat to the brigade headquarters with high-power radios, and finally forwarded to the Japanese military headquarters in Taiyuan.

The first reaction of the commander after reading the telegram was disbelief.

The main force of the garrison regiment is obviously still in Datong, how can it suddenly appear in a no-man's land?

Even if the main force of a part of the garrison regiment evaded the eyes and ears of the imperial army and quietly returned to the base area, the 5,000 attacking troops on the front line were not vegetarians.

Unless the main force of the garrison regiment returns to the base area, these 5,000 attacking troops will definitely have the strength to kill them, and the difference is that the price paid is a little greater.

This is the second question that the commander can't figure out.

If the garrison regiment really creates a miracle, the main force of the regiment will all return to the base area, kill the 5,000 attacking troops gathered on the front line by the military headquarters, and then take the opportunity to enter the no-man's land and attack the strongholds there. Where did the more than 10,000 Eighth Route Army in Datong City come from, and who are they?

This is the third question that the commander does not understand......

After looking back and forth between the telegram and the sand table several times, the silent commander finally held back a sentence: "Let the intelligence department immediately give an order to the intelligence officers lurking in Datong: find out the identity of the Eighth Route Army in Datong City at all costs?" ”

"If the Eighth Route Army, which attacked no man's land, was really the main force of the garrison regiment, then the garrison regiment in Datong City was fake, and we were deceived by them again."

The chief of staff was worried and reminded: "What about the stronghold in the no-man's land?" ”

"The telegram said: Although the Eighth Route Army that attacked them was dressed in a variety of clothes, it was very well equipped and had siege artillery."

"The mobile troops in the stronghold have all been withdrawn, and the remaining troops can just meet the defense of the stronghold, and if one soldier dies, there will be one less, and there will be no reserves."

"If the Eighth Route Army is allowed to attack, the stronghold will definitely be captured."

The army commander replied helplessly: "No one is too far away from us, and the whip is beyond the reach of the whip, there is no way!" ”

Speaking of which, the commander was in an even worse mood.

His face became more and more heavy, staring at the Laiyuan battlefield on the sand table and continued: "I am most worried about the safety of the five thousand attacking troops on the front line now. ”

"It is impossible for the Eighth Route Army to bypass our attacking forces and attack no man's land at the risk of losing its base area and cutting off its rear routes. Now their troops are in no man's land with heavy weapons, and our attacking forces have lost contact and disappeared out of thin air. ”

"I suspect something has happened to them."

"If this is the case, not only will the stronghold that sent us a telegram encounter an accident, but the entire no-man's land will be attacked by the garrison!"

The no-man's land was built by the Shanxi garrison with a lot of manpower and material resources, and the blockade role played on the battlefield was irreplaceable.

If there was no no no-man's land to block the passage of the garrison regiment's outward expansion, and prevent materials from flowing into the garrison regiment's base area, thereby weakening their material reserves and restricting their development, the garrison regiment would be at least twice as strong as it is now.

What's more, the no-man's land cut off the garrison from other units of the Eighth Route Army in the surrounding area.

The garrison regiment has a huge arsenal with a huge production capacity, and if there is no no-man's land to cut off the raw material supply of the arsenal, they can produce a steady stream of weapons and equipment.

It can not only enhance the equipment level of the garrison regiment itself, but also support other surrounding Eighth Route Armies, bringing their combat effectiveness and equipment level at the same time.

At that time, the pressure on the Shanxi garrison will be unprecedented......

The chief of staff's face became more and more pale, and he did not dare to imagine the situation on the battlefield after the no-man's land was captured by the garrison regiment.

Strode to the sand table, and said anxiously: "Your Excellency, the no-man's land is too important and must not be lost." ”

"We must find a way to keep the no-man's land, otherwise we will not be able to curb the momentum of the garrison regiment's outward development."

"If we don't do a good job, the garrison regiment base area will be built with other surrounding Eighth Route Army, and a larger base area will be formed to crush us in terms of strength, and then the possibility of trying to fight them like this is almost zero."

Of course, the army commander knew the garrison regiment, the Laishui Independent Regiment, and the Huaiyuan Independent Regiment...... The strength of these Eighth Route Armies after they were combined.

If this is the case, the situation in the north of the mountain will be turned upside down.

The biggest change is that the offensive and defensive sides will be exchanged.

Because of the serious loss of troops, the Shanxi garrison could not keep up with the replenishment, and the more it fought, the weaker it became. The Eighth Route Army is just the opposite, and after several main regiments are combined, they will definitely get stronger and stronger.

In the event of a large-scale war, it will not be the Imperial Army sweeping the base areas of the Eighth Route Army, but the Eighth Route Army attacking the areas occupied by the Imperial Army and compressing the living space of the Imperial Army......

As the current military commander, if such a thing happens in the jurisdiction, he will definitely become the laughing stock of the entire empire.

If you don't do it well, you will be sent to a military court, which will not only cost you your own life, but also bury the military honor you have earned in half your life on the battlefield......

So as long as you are still in Shanxi for a day, you can't allow this kind of thing to happen.

Looking at the sand table, racking his brains to think of a solution.

"Give the troops who swept away the Huaiyuan Independent Regiment and the Laishui Independent Regiment to withdraw their troops!" The commander thought of a way to mitigate the losses and hastened to order.

"Leave a small number of troops behind the palace to prevent the Laishui Independent Regiment and the Huaiyuan Independent Regiment from counterattacking, and the other troops rushed to the edge of the no-man's land to stand by."

"Contact all the strongholds that can be contacted in the no-man's land, send out all the reconnaissance troops, and find out what happened on the Laiyuan battlefield in the fastest time? How many Eighth Route Army slaughtered into no man's land. ”

"We can't fight with our eyes closed."

"The troops of the Laishui Independent Regiment and the Huaiyuan Independent Regiment are our last hope to keep the no-man's land, and there can be no accidents."

"They must find out the enemy's situation before they can fight into the no-man's land, the reinforcements that should be reinforced, the reinforcements that should be reinforced, and the reinforcements that should be reinforced......"

"Remind these two sweeping troops that they must pay attention to secrecy when retreating, and it is best not to let their sweeping Eighth Route Army know."

"The Eighth Route Army is different from other Chinese armies in that they do not have factional rivalries and will not care about the life and death of friendly troops in order to preserve their strength."

"If we let them know that our sweeping troops are going back to the no-man's land, they will definitely try their best to block them and prevent them from making the trip."

Li Hao thought of all the solutions that the devil army commander could think of.

The solution that the commander couldn't think of, Li Hao also thought of.

Not to mention that some troops of the Laishui Independent Regiment and the Huaiyuan Independent Regiment were taken to Datong by Li Hao to participate in the siege battle, and the two sides often sent telegrams to report the situation.

Even if there is none, the connection between Li Hao and these two regiments is very close.

When he decided to capture no man's land, Li Hao began to think about the accidents that might happen on the battlefield.

Searching through the entire military map, except for the troops of the Laishui Independent Regiment and the Huaiyuan Independent Regiment, within 50 kilometers of the surrounding area, there was no third unit of the Japanese army that had the strength to reinforce the no-man's land.

After the garrison regiment's attack on the no-man's land began, an encrypted telegram from Li Hao appeared in the hands of the two regiment commanders.
