Liu Cheng thought of this, Song Zheyuan also thought of it, and attached great importance to it.

He ordered at the first time:

The 37th Division, which transferred Feng Zhi'an, hurried to Taolin to assist Liu Cheng; Liu Ruming's provisional second division was transferred to support Zhou Zuopeng.

Before leaving, Song Zheyuan called Feng Zhi'an and Liu Ruming to the front and said to them in righteous words:

"The little devil is called 'Suppressing Bandits', but it is actually the land of Chahar, you two must cooperate with Liu and Erren when you go, and all battle plans must be discussed and implemented with them, and there must be no neglect and contempt;

These two people are stationed in Chahar, although there are certain hidden dangers, but at the same time, they are also a big help for me Chahar!

According to Tian Haoyuan's investigation, Liu Cheng was a man of great wisdom and bravery, and he once annihilated an independent brigade of the Japanese army with a force of several hundred people.

Therefore, the main role of the two of you is to assist in the battle, not to lead; If you can't make up your mind, send me a message immediately! ”

"Yes!"

Feng Zhi'an and Liu Ruming stood up and saluted at the same time, and agreed loudly.

At the same time, Liu Cheng had already made his first combat deployment.

He asked Hao Dabao to transfer a platoon of the cavalry company, together with two 75-mm mountain guns and one anti-tank gun of the machine gun company, to leave Taolin in advance to set up an ambush.

After the Japanese troops opened fire on the independent battalion, they waited for the opportunity to hit the artillery and tanks of the little devils with artillery fire.

The reason why the cavalry was used to assist the artillery was because it could greatly increase the movement speed of the artillery, and strive to change places with a single artillery shot to avoid being besieged by the enemy.

Liu Cheng knew that a battle of this scale could not tolerate any cleverness, and he was facing a well-trained brigade from the Kwantung Army's A Division, and if he wanted to send people to attack the opponent's tanks and other heavy firepower like the last time he dealt with the "high-imitation replica" independent mixed brigade of Lumao Huxiong, there was no possibility of success at all.

Therefore, the best way to fight this battle is to divide the battlefield and break it one by one!

Now that he has a city to defend and fortifications to rely on, even if the Japanese army has the assistance and support of aircraft and tanks, it is unlikely that they will be able to carry out effective damage in a short period of time.

Besides, there are more than 10,000 people from the other side, and it is naturally unrealistic to want to push them all up and besiege a small Tao Lin.

The most likely scenario is that the Japanese army divides its forces and attacks the three counties and three banners garrisoned by Liu Cheng and Zhou Zuopeng at the same time, as long as they succeed in breaking through one of them, they will be regarded as having an absolute advantage.

It's just that now Liu Cheng can't judge which place Tanaka-kun will choose as the main attack point, so he can only temporarily distribute the troops evenly for defense and adjust them at any time.

Regarding Liu Cheng's almost "improvised" tactics, Feng Zhi'an, the commander of the 37th Division sent by Song Zheyuan, did not agree.

In his view, in order to fight a war, it is necessary to draw up a perfect battle plan in advance, and temporary adjustments will take a huge amount of time and will very likely delay the fighters.

However, because Song Zheyuan had an explanation before coming, Feng Zhi'an did not question it on the spot, but waited for Liu Cheng to finish speaking before speaking:

"Camp Commander Liu, isn't this a little inappropriate? It takes a lot of time to redeploy the troops after they have dispersed, and once the Japanese concentrate their forces and storm a certain place, it will be difficult for us to support them in time. ”

Liu Cheng nodded:

"Division Commander Feng is right, but now we can't know the enemy's true intentions, once we choose to focus on defense, once the weak place is attacked, we will have no time to support.

I know that there are more pitfalls associated with such a deployment, but if we ensure that the troops are flexible and fast, it is much better, isn't it? ”

Feng Zhi'an saw that he could not change Liu Cheng's decision, so he had no choice but to report to Song Zheyuan according to his wishes.

After receiving the telegram, Song Zheyuan suddenly frowned, and said to Tian Haoyuan next to him with a calm face:

"What the hell is going on with this Liu Cheng? Isn't this nonsense? What kind of combat deployment is the equal distribution of troops and the temporary deployment of support? What about the housekeepers? I doubt now that all the battles he fought were won by luck! ”

Tian Haoyuan smiled faintly, looked at Song Zheyuan firmly and said:

"I thought so at first, but after careful analysis, I overturned my previous judgment; Although I can't guess what medicine this kid sells in the gourd now, with his character of always taking the sword sideways, he shouldn't be able to suffer a loss. ”

"But what if you lose money? Haoyuan, you know, we only have so many troops in our hands now, and the military expenses given above can't even eat enough, once we suffer serious losses, we can't come up with the money to replenish the troops! Song Zheyuan said worriedly.

Indeed, Liu Cheng's arrangement seems to be full of loopholes and very dangerous, and the slightest carelessness will lead to passivity.

But he still insisted on doing so.

The reason is very simple: the Japanese know him better than Song Zheyuan, and he has fought two battles in succession that shocked the Japanese, and now he suddenly puts on such a disorderly and substandard "defensive formation", Tanaka-kun and his heart must be hard to believe.

In this way, Tanaka Junji will hesitate and worry, feeling that this is a trick set by Liu Cheng, waiting for him to drill.

As long as he hesitated, Liu Cheng's side had enough time to analyze Tanaka Junji's combat deployment according to the intelligence data transmitted back by the scouts, and then quickly make adjustments.

As long as Tanaka-kun is forced to lose the opportunity, Liu Cheng will win this first battle!

The battle is not only a desperate and fighting force, but also a psychological contest between the commanders of the two sides.

Having the upper hand in psychological warfare, the scales of victory will naturally tilt.

The little devil is short and has a lot of eyes, in other words, he is suspicious by nature, which Liu Cheng knows very well in his heart.

Liu Cheng doesn't know how to use the empty city plan, and he doesn't dare to use it, but this virtual and real trick is still very easy to use.

Although the frontal hard steel is domineering, it can also make most of the Chinese who are still in the mud realize that the Japanese can be defeated.

But in that case, even if you win, it will inevitably be a miserable victory.

Liu Cheng will not choose such a way of fighting unless he is forced to do so, because every life is worth cherishing!

After Hao Dabao led the people away, Gao Yuan came right after.

His face was full of worry, and after entering the door, he asked directly:

"Battalion commander, there are a lot of devils coming this time, if we keep it like this, I'm afraid it's a little dangerous, right?"

Liu Cheng can fully understand Gao Yuan's current mood.

There are now only eight of the more than 20 people who came with him at the beginning, and only three of them can go to the battlefield again, and the remaining five are too seriously injured and can only be transferred to logistics after recuperation.

Although Gao Yuan didn't say anything and didn't show a trace of sadness, Liu Cheng could feel the pain in his heart......
