Xu Rui picked up the nine soldier models and put them on the sand table, then clapped his hands and said, "I have now put all three infantry battalions into the battlefield, and I have decided to eat your three infantry squadrons at all costs!" ”

"Are you trying to do it?" Seeing this, Leng Tiefeng's pupils shrank slightly.

The dozen or so "combat staff officers" behind Leng Tiefeng also looked at each other.

Because after Xu Rui took out the model of these nine soldiers, only the cavalry battalion of iron and steel was left on the books of the independent regiment, Niu Dazhuang's machine gun company, and the soldiers and civilians of the county brigade and several district teams, and the cavalry battalion was still resting, although the machine gun company was powerful, it could not replace the infantry to charge after all, as for the county brigade and several district teams, it was okay to follow the main force and have a strong reputation, and pull them to the frontal battlefield to fight a tough battle, so it is better to rest as soon as possible.

Isn't it desperate to use all your forces to the fullest?

Although the regiment commander often goes into danger, he never fights with others without being sure.

This doesn't seem to be the style of the regimental commander? Could it be that there is some trap hidden in the middle?

Leng Tiefeng also began to think quickly, what kind of killer move is hidden behind Lao Xu?

"Veteran, didn't you think I had less bait just now? Now I take out all the main forces of the entire independent regiment, and I take the entire regiment to dangle under the nose of Heiji Kawaguchi, you say, can the old devil of Kawaguchi endure it? Xu Rui said hesitantly, "Veteran, you are Kawaguchi Heiji now, can you resist the temptation to attack?" ”

"I'm afraid I can't help it." Leng Tiefeng shook his head, although he was not Kawaguchi Heiji, but this did not prevent him from standing on Kawaguchi Heiji's position to make a judgment, if Xu Ruizhen pulled the entire independent regiment under Kawaguchi Heiji's nose, it would be absolutely impossible for Kawaguchi Heiji to resist the temptation to attack.

This is because, as long as the independent regiment is killed, the sweeping operation in Dameishan will be over!

If the independent regiment is killed, the safety of the Feibang Highway will be guaranteed, and the Jinpu Railway will be reopened soon, and then the northbound cluster of the Central China Front will have the Feibang Highway and the Jinpu Railway, and the Battle of Xuzhou will be guaranteed.

So, when the fighter appeared, Heiji Kawaguchi absolutely could not refuse.

Even if he knew that this might be a trap, Heiji Kawaguchi would probably attack.

Doesn't Sun Tzu's Art of War say that soldiers are treacherous, and fighting a war is an adventure, so where is the war that must be won in this world?

At that moment, Leng Tiefeng also took out dozens of soldier models and cavalry models in the Japanese barracks, placed them on the periphery of the firefight, and then said: "Since you have invested all your troops, then I might as well give you a chance, and I will also do my best, with a total of one and a half infantry wings, an artillery wing and a cavalry wing, leaving only an infantry brigade and an engineer wing and a baggage wing to watch the house." ”

"Good guy, you're pouring out of the nest, it seems that I can only choose to give up, I'll run!"

After Xu Rui finished speaking, he moved more than a dozen soldier models on the battlefield to the rear, but according to the rules, each round can only move a certain distance, and it is not possible to extract the soldier models from the battlefield at once and reflect them in actual combat, that is, the troops entering the battlefield will never disappear out of thin air, and it is not so easy for the participating troops to withdraw from the battle.

"I'm afraid you won't be able to run anymore." Leng Tiefeng shook his head and said coldly, "I will bite you tightly from the front with the strength of two infantry brigades, so that you cannot adjust your deployment, and at the same time, I will use the strength of one infantry brigade each to detour from the left and right, intercept the back of your department, and use the cavalry wing to detour further away, and at this time, your forces have been fully used, and because you do not have reliable reserves in your hands, you will not be able to redeploy and build a defensive line." ”

After Leng Tiefeng finished speaking, he made a gesture, and Mei Jiuling and Huang Shouxin, who had the least qualifications, immediately walked to the sand table and divided the dozens of soldier models representing the Japanese army into three parts, one of them bit the butt of the independent regiment and chased forward, and the other two began to separate left and right, detouring behind the independent regiment, and the knight model representing the cavalry detoured farther away.

At this time, even laymen who don't know anything about military affairs can see that the prospects of the independent regiment are very bad!

Since the strength of the independent regiment has been fully used, there are not enough reserves left, and there is no pre-set blocking position, so the main forces withdrawn from the battlefield can only alternately cover and retreat one after another, but in this way, the speed of retreat will be greatly affected.

And the Japanese troops who detoured from both sides would march much faster!

Because the strength of the independent regiment has been fully used, the Japanese troops on both sides no longer have to worry about being ambushed, so even at night, it is completely possible to let go of the march, the independent regiment is fighting and retreating, while the Japanese troops on both sides can stride forward, and the difference in speed is immediately reflected.

"Three kilometers at most!" Leng Tiefeng put the soldiers on the left and right sides together in the middle, and said coldly, "The Japanese troops from both sides can form an encirclement of the main force of the retreating independent regiment, and in the face of the heavy encirclement of the five infantry lost brigades, there is also a cavalry wing on the periphery responsible for plugging the leakage, Lao Xu, the independent regiment is over." ”

"It's too early to tell!" Xu Rui shook his head and said, "What if the Independent Regiment does not alternately cover and retreat one by one, if the main force of the Independent Regiment immediately turns around and retreats in stride before the Japanese army pours out?" ”

After finishing speaking, Xu Rui swept the soldier model representing the independent regiment back for a long distance with both hands.

The so-called big stride retreat, in fact, is to spread the legs and run back, in fact, it is to run directly from the battlefield, the advantage of this is that the retreat speed is fast enough, it is not easy to be entangled by the chasing soldiers behind you, the disadvantage is that the troops are completely herding sheep, if you want to organize troops, deploy defense, it is wishful thinking.

Leng Tiefeng obviously expected this, and said: "The result is the same, the independent regiment is still in a catastrophe!" ”

While speaking, Leng Tiefeng moved the soldier model representing the Japanese army in the middle a large section forward, still biting the butt of the independent regiment tightly, and then said: "The retreat of the independent regiment in great strides can be temporarily saved from being surrounded by the Japanese army, but it is absolutely impossible to get rid of the chasing soldiers behind it. ”

"That's right, it's true that you can only run forward." Xu Rui nodded.

"Therefore, the independent regiment still inevitably ends up being wiped out." Leng Tiefeng pointed to a line five kilometers ahead, and continued with an indifferent expression, "Because five kilometers ahead is the Mei River, and now the land of Jianghuai has entered the rainy season, and the water level of the Mei River is rising sharply, and it is impossible to wade across the river." ”

With Leng Tiefeng's almost cold explanation, the eyes of more than a dozen "operational staff officers" fell on the Mei River that crossed the Dameishan Basin.

There are two main streams in the upper reaches of the Mei River, namely the Niu Creek that originates from Qingniu Ridge and the Qing Creek that originates from Qingfeng Ridge, Niu Creek and Qingxi from south to north, flow through the Troubled Stone Valley and then merge into one, converge into the Mei River, meander through the Damei Mountain Basin to the south, and drain into the Grand Canyon on the right side of the Shangsha Bridge, forming a waterfall with a drop of more than ten meters.

At present, the land of Jianghuai has entered the rainy season with the most abundant rain in the year, the water level of the Meihe River has risen a lot, and the small river that can usually wade through the water has become a surging torrent at this time, once people and animals fall into the Meihe River, they will be washed away by the torrent immediately, and the result must be more than auspicious.

Xu Rui withdrew more than a dozen soldier models to the east bank of the Mei River, and there was no way back.

Leng Tiefeng pressed dozens of models of soldiers representing the Japanese army, and then said: "The independent regiment retreats here at most, and then there is no way back, of course, if the independent regiment goes upstream or downstream, it can cross the river from a single-plank bridge not far upstream or a stone bridge downstream, but there must be a premise." ”

As for what this premise is, Leng Tiefeng didn't say it, and he didn't need to say it.

Because everyone understands that it is impossible for the independent regiment to detour upstream or downstream, because whether it is upstream or downstream, there are already Japanese flank troops detouring, and the independent regiment chooses to detour from both sides, but they are afraid that before they reach the single-plank bridge upstream or the stone bridge downstream, they have already encountered the Japanese flank troops.

It is more practical to expect the Independent Regiment to defeat the Japanese troops on both sides without preparation, without attacking formation, without fire cover, and without physical strength, it is better to expect that the more than 1,000 officers and men of the Independent Regiment will each take a soak of urine and drown all the devils with one guy.

Xu Rui shrugged his shoulders and said, "Judging from this situation, it seems that I have been cornered? ”

"I'm afraid so." Leng Tiefeng nodded, and said, "Unless you can build a new bridge in this location, but with all due respect, building a bridge in such a rainy season is not a good idea, not to mention half the effort, and the time required will definitely increase exponentially, and worse, it will definitely not be able to escape the reconnaissance of the Japanese army." ”

"I didn't think about building a bridge." Xu Rui shook his head and said, "But, veteran, haven't you noticed that there is something special about trapping this position of the Independent Regiment?" ”

"Special? What's so special? Leng Tiefeng was stunned when he heard this.

When he looked closely, Leng Tiefeng was extremely surprised to find that the position that trapped the Independent Regiment was really special, because Meihe made a big bend here, and it actually formed an east-west U-shape, and the opening was facing east and pointing to the direction of Meizhen, and it was through this opening that the Independent Regiment had just entered this U-shaped bay.

Further observation, Leng Tiefeng found that the distance between the north and south sides of this U-shaped bay was almost more than 1,000 meters, and the length from east to west was more than 2,000 meters.

Looking at the map again, this river bay is Mustang Beach.
