After a pause, He Sanliang didn't look at Li Ziyuan's expression, and the pencil in his hand drew a circle on the periphery of the Qiaokou on the map before continuing: "What we need is to make Wang Tieshi feel that our living force has been used to the limit. This guy is a local snake, and his nose and smell are definitely not bad. ”

"Our hole cards, he should be roughly clear. And this guy is said to be a master of military literacy, but he can't definitely say that he is a stupid person. If he didn't understand any military common sense, how could he be the king and hegemon in this Ludong region for so long? This person's biggest shortcoming is actually that he thinks too much, so that his pattern will never develop and become bigger. ”

"Judging by the most basic military common sense, he should also know that we still have a reserve in our hands. In this way, there will be some taboos in his heart. At least some troops will be divided to protect their own back road. Although the offensive launched by this guy today is fierce, it is far from being able to say that all the capital has been dried. ”

It also means that he still has at least three points of strength in his hands and has not used it. If we want to get this guy out of the nest tomorrow, we will not necessarily be able to use the tactics of shrinking now, and I am even a little worried that it will backfire. ”

"My opinion is to launch a feint while retreating. But the heat of this feint attack must be mastered well, not only to make Wang Tieshi feel that we have used our forces to the limit, but also not to cause too many casualties to us. In this way, we are more deceptive when we shrink our positions. ”

"It's best to make this guy feel like he can break through our defenses every time he fails to attack. In this way, we can hold him down and not let him feel like he has touched a hard stone. Make this kind of posture of the two ends of the first rat and slipping away at any time. ”

Regarding He Sanliang's suggestion, Li Ziyuan did not answer immediately, but stood up and paced slowly in the headquarters. Li Ziyuan knew very well that He Sanliang's worry was definitely not untargeted. For this cunning guy, if he wants to use all his capital to bet, the current strength is still a little insufficient.

If you don't put down enough bait, this guy won't be fooled. Although the offensive of the Japanese puppet army today is very fierce, Li Ziyuan carefully observed that the puppet army invested only more than 4,000 troops. That is, this guy still has at least a third of his strength and has not been fully invested.

Moreover, these puppet armies attach great importance to the back road, and the more than 1,000 puppet troops deployed behind them have never been put into battle. Judging from this situation, Wang Tieshi still did not give up the idea of shrinking back to Pingchuan at any time. And this guy didn't take a multi-pronged attack today, but launched a fierce attack on the south and east alone.

At present, although he has given up most of the peripheral positions, several core heights are firmly in control, and the offensives of the Japanese puppet army on both sides are actually two separate battlefields, which cannot be connected into a line. As a result, Wang Tieshi never dared to put all his vital forces into it, lest his troops disperse too much.

In other words, as far as the current situation of the entire battlefield is concerned, Wang Tieshi, a big fish, has been going back and forth on the side of the bait, but he is just constantly trying to bite the bait, but he has not finally bitten the bait. In this way, the bait I laid is indeed somewhat insufficient.

But at this time, the reserves are pulled up, and tomorrow's battle may be difficult. Especially when this Wang Tieshi was finally dying, he was afraid that his own strength would be insufficient. The premature use of reserves was reluctant for Li Ziyuan. But Li Ziyuan also knows that only by giving can there be gain.

Thinking of this, Li Ziyuan turned around and walked a few steps to the window, listened to the dense gunfire not far away, and raised his binoculars to look at the fierce battle outside. The entire terrain of Qiaokou can be said to be in Li Ziyuan's head. He didn't need to look at the map to think of what kind of situation the entire battlefield would form after He Sanliang gave up those high grounds.

After putting down the telescope in his hand, Li Ziyuan turned his head to look at He Sanliang, whose face was sinking like water, and then looked at Ma Yongcheng, who was very silent on the side, before he spoke: "Old He, just do it according to your intentions." Tell the troops that by midnight today, they will all retreat and shrink to the core position at Qiaokou. ”

"The first battalion and three companies of the reserve were transferred to the south under the command of the second battalion. At dusk, a counterattack was launched against the 579 Heights. The two platoons of the Ninth Company were under the command of the 1st Battalion, and they were ready to make every effort to deal with the night attack of the Japanese puppet army. Tell Zhou Tong's artillery company to get ready for battle. The engineer company was ordered to also be ready for battle and reinforce the front line at any time. ”

"Also, order all those who can hold guns at the regimental headquarters to prepare me for battle. At the same time, we will send a telegram to the military sub-districts and military districts to make a report on our intentions. It is hoped that the fraternal units that have already arrived at the concealment site will conceal themselves as much as possible while preparing for battle. An hour late on their side, we have a better chance of victory. ”

Speaking of this, Li Ziyuan pondered for a long time and then said: "Also, send a telegram to the political commissar of the sub-district and the front command of the military region, I think that the general attack on the whole front should be launched at 15 o'clock in the afternoon tomorrow. The independent regiment of the division was ordered to take Pingchuan by 17 o'clock tomorrow and cut off the retreat channel of the Japanese puppet army. ”

He Sanliang quickly recorded Li Ziyuan's words, Li Ziyuan probably read them, signed them, and signaled to send them out immediately. After He Sanliang turned around and went to the radio room, Li Ziyuan looked at the red and blue pencils in his hand, and kept thinking quickly in his head.

After listening to He Sanliang's words, Li Ziyuan always felt that something appeared in his mind. I just want to catch it, but I can't catch it. And Li Ziyuan always felt that what he missed should be quite important. But what was missing, Li Ziyuan never figured it out.

Li Ziyuan stared at the map, his head constantly circling. The red and blue pencil in his hand fell from Pingchuan and fell back to Qiaokou after a circle. From the highlands around Qiaokou to the village of Qiaokou, Li Ziyuan has been pondering. After a long time, he turned around and raised his binoculars again to look at the battlefield in front of him.

At this time, the sky is already dusk, and the sunset, which has been dyed red for most of the day, looks extraordinarily gorgeous. And the sound of gunfire on the periphery of Qiaokou is still unusually dense. The ballistic sound of shells and mortars cutting through the sky in the mountains outside Qiaokou, as well as the explosion after landing, were so clear to Li Ziyuan's ears.

After listening to the sound of gunfire for a long time, Li Ziyuan suddenly turned his head to look at He Sanliang, who had already returned, and said: "Old He, you just said that Wang Tieshi, this guy, although he can't say everything about our background, at least he doesn't know anything?" Until we show obvious fatigue and the reserves are not dispatched, this guy will not be fully engaged? ”

Li Ziyuan asked very suddenly, but He Sanliang seemed to have a heart with him. In response to his question, he nodded directly without the slightest hesitation. Seeing He Sanning's head, Li Ziyuan looked at Ma Yongcheng and He Sanliang beside him before he said, "Old He, we have some things to ignore." ”

"We only saw the personal grievances between this guy and us, but we didn't see the changes in the situation in the entire Ludong, the entire southeastern Shanxi region, and even the entire Shanxi. Now the Japanese army has begun to shrink on a large scale, and some minor strongholds have been abandoned or handed over to the control of the puppet army. ”

"Now the Japanese army in the entire southeast area of Jinjin is left with only three infantry brigades. This point of strength, not to mention the entire southeast of Jin, is just like pepper noodles for the Ludong region alone. And for the current result, it has not only created a good situation for us. In some respects, the same creates an opportunity to fill the gap. ”

"Don't forget, in some ways, this guy Wang Tieshi not only once served as an officer, but also has a certain connection. At the same time, as a traitor, it is hard for me to imagine that at this time, he is still desperately working for the Japanese. This battle may be a testament to his name in some respects. It can even be said that a considerable part of the reason is the instructions issued over there. ”

"And for the thousands of people over there, in such an important position, they will definitely not sit idly by. You know, there are only more than 5,000 people in a division over there. The overall scale can be compared with the sunset now. These thousands of centaurs are definitely not dispensable for that side. ”

"Especially these thousands of puppet troops, they are at the gateway of our Taihang Military Region and between them and the Taiyue Military Region, and their position is even more important. They asked them to beat us, that is, they avoided doing it themselves, which gave the impression of being in the same room to domestic public opinion. You can also borrow our hands, or borrow the hands of the Japanese to make a lose-lose situation. ”

"It's a factor that we probably didn't take into account before. If he said so, even if he was reluctant, Wang Tieshi had to fight the battle as a vote. Unless he really intends to be completely liquidated after the war. Chongqing's power is now unable to reach out, but there are no problems in some aspects of the original Shanxi Emperor. ”

"As for Wang Tieshi, I think this guy is dancing with two eggs right now. That is, they want to take advantage of the strategic contraction of the Japanese to develop and strengthen their own forces, so as to give themselves a certain way out in the future. But I don't want to completely offend Jinxi at this time. ”

He knew that even if he was defeated in this battle, as long as the Japanese still needed to use them, he would find a way to supplement them. But if the Japanese are gone, even if they don't get annexed by fighting there, they won't care about him anymore if they run out. I think this guy can see this very clearly. ”

"And this time the Japanese did expand his troops, but many of them were prisoners of war over there. Among them at least the officer, I don't think he really wants. After all, it is not the descendants that he brought out single-handedly, and these people are also an unstable factor for him. ”

"Also as a high-ranking officer of the puppet army, the commander-in-chief of eastern Henan, painstakingly obtained the equipment and establishment from the Japanese, but he became a bare-bones commander in an instant, and a large number of materials and weapons and equipment were abducted, I think although they belong to two places, this old man should also be clear."

"Since he is being forced by the other side now, he has no choice but to execute, so he is taking advantage of the opportunity that the Japanese are still there. Getting rid of our henchmen in one fell swoop with the hands of the Japanese, plus completing the instructions of Jinxi, and cleaning up our own interiors with our hands, can be regarded as killing three birds with one stone. ”

"Lao Ma, Lao He, I think this guy as long as the * of our peripheral reinforcements does not hit his head, this guy will not now, at least he will not dare to withdraw casually. Because he not only wants to show the Japanese, but more importantly, to show the other side. ”
