On the simple map drawn by He Sanliang, Li Ziyuan focused on the location of Pingchuan. Then the branch in his hand went all the way to the north, extending along Wang Tieshi's defense area, and he didn't stop until after the northernmost part of his defense area and continued: "The devil is obviously putting on a posture now, and if he wants to control Wang Tieshi's strength, at least in a short period of time, his strength may not be able to increase. ”

"Otherwise, there would be no move by this puppet army division to go south from Jinzhong. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the Japanese army was not at ease with this new puppet army and transferred it out of the grain-producing area in Jinzhong. Put it around Changzhi in our entire southeast core area of Jinjin, and let this puppet army go all out to deal with us. ”

"Our tactics, it should be said that the little devil has roughly figured it out now. I know that because of the serious shortage of firepower and ammunition, we will focus a large part of our energy on the puppet army to replenish weapons and ammunition. Maybe the Japanese army is just letting this puppet army with a different background fight with us. ”

"But no matter what, although the current Wang Tieshi has swallowed up thousands of guns of the puppet Jinnan Founding Army in one go, it seems that his strength has more than doubled. However, for the Japanese army, especially the newly transferred 69th Division, it has become a trend that has become more or less a big one. But the Japanese army is still inseparable from him, so it can only limit the development of his strength. ”

Actually, that's normal. The information sent by the superiors is not like this for the puppet army on that side. Two or three thousand people are organized into a division, and four or five thousand people are an army. Even two or three thousand people were organized into a road army, and there were not a few. This shows that the Japanese army would rather give you a large and empty establishment to attract those people to the enemy. ”

"But for the strength of the puppet army, there is still a strict control. Moreover, the practice of multiple numbering is adopted, but the establishment and attribution are scattered. Therefore, Wang Tieshi's strength, as long as the Japanese army has not yet reached the point of asking for food, his strength can only be so much for at least a short time. ”

"At present, Wang Tieshi has so many troops in his hands, and if he wants to strengthen the defense of Pingchuan, he can only demolish the east wall to make up the west wall, and find a way to transfer troops from other places. Unless he is sure that with the forces he has, he will be able to hold his lair. I think that he Wang Tieshi has been beaten by us so many times, and he should always understand that there are some things, and he is really far from his two hits on the battlefield. ”

"If he draws troops from other directions, strengthen the defense of Pingchuan Town. Then his defense in Pingchuan has been strengthened, but the forces in other directions are weakening in disguise. Lao He, don't forget that his so-called Ludong Joint Defense Command is actually on the front line of confrontation with us. ”

"The troops he transferred to Pingchuan will not work at all if they are reduced. If there are too many transfers, the other directions of his defense area will become a fishing net full of holes. We can start from wherever we want. If you want to hit there, you can hit there. ”

And the independent security division has always been at odds with him, especially about his territory. I'm afraid this guy won't be in a hurry, he will definitely not ask for help from his apparent allies, his secret opponents. And judging from our previous battle, even if he Wang Tieshi asked for help, the puppet army who sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight with the idea of not coming to the rescue. ”

"He knows that this time we are in the western part of Hubei, mainly in the border area with Changzhi. Only then did that one have a suspicious heart. If it is easy for God to send the puppet army to help him transfer away, I am afraid that it will be even easier to ask God to send God if he comes again. The dead knot between the two puppet armies, I'm afraid that even if the whole army is wiped out by us, it is estimated that it will not be able to untie it. ”

"So, if we put a larger force at Qiaokou. It will be like a magnet, and Wang Tieshi's vital power will continue to attract to Pingchuan. The bigger our forces are here, the more he'll worry that we're giving him a decent visit. ”

"This guy is good at conspiratorship, and the temporary non-aggression agreement he has reached with us is a stopgap measure, to put it bluntly. As soon as he thinks he needs to turn his face, this guy will not hesitate to turn his face. Again, he's just as uncomfortable for us. ”

"He's now concentrating on dealing with the pseudo-security independent division who is peeking into his territory. But he himself knows that we are ultimately his worst enemies. Sooner or later, we will settle accounts with him. So, he's just as guarded against us. ”

And the current situation also determines that he must strengthen the defense of Pingchuan. Even if he knew that he was tearing down the east wall and making up the west wall, he could only do it hard. Unless, he really doesn't want his own head. What's more, for people like him, the territory and strength are even more important. ”

"Under the circumstance that the Japanese army did not give him additional troops, and he easily did not dare to ask for help from the friendly army behind him, in fact, our room for maneuver has increased, not decreased. And with this guy standing in the way, the pseudo-security independent division behind me may also think that we can fight with Wang Tieshi and lose both sides and reap the benefits ourselves. ”

"Lao He, your worries are very reasonable. Indeed, most of us are stationed in Qiaokou, and the surrounding Japanese puppet armies will form a situation of encirclement on three sides. And among the puppet armies of these three departments, almost all of them are not badly equipped. And at least one of them, the combat effectiveness is still quite strong. ”

"But you ignore one point, that is, the contradictions within the puppet army, so that their so-called cooperative operations are like a ball of mud, and they can't form a regiment at all. Counting on them, who are all happy to fight within themselves, to join hands against us, it is estimated that it is better to expect the sow to go up the tree. ”

"This shortcoming is the most fatal shortcoming of the puppet army, and it is also the one that we can easily exploit. I don't know if the troops over there have the habit of killing miscellaneous cards to eliminate internal troubles. But I know that the current three puppet armies, in order to compete for the territory of Pingchuan, which is making money every day, are very happy within themselves. ”

"I'm afraid that even their masters will not be able to reconcile this contradiction within them. What's more, if these three puppet armies are really monolithic, the Japanese behind them will probably be the first to worry. A three-horse-drawn cart may not run faster than a one-horse cart. ”

"As long as we grasp this shortcoming of theirs, this three-sided enemy situation will be reversed, and we will burrow into their stomachs and make trouble in the heavenly palace. As long as we grasp one degree, that is, we do not force them to have to huddle together to survive, and the situation will always be in our best interest. ”

"Now, the Wang Puppet Second Front Army in Huguan in the south, we don't have to take care of it for the time being, and there is the main force of the military region to deal with them. Our main energy now is to focus on the two puppet armies in front of Ludong. The one who is out of the blue, the one who is developing fast, will beat the guy who is out of the picture. ”

"However, this degree must be grasped well, they can be disabled, but they cannot be completely killed, so as to prevent the other party from becoming bigger. How to sing this Romance of the Three Kingdoms in Ludong is our business. As long as the contradiction between the two puppet armies is not resolved in one day, this strategic initiative will always be in our hands. ”

"Except for Liu Kaishan, the guy who is hiding in a dark corner, engaging in intelligence and sabotage, he must find a way to get rid of it. For the other two puppet armies on the surface, if they want to maintain a balance of strength, no one can help anyone's situation, which is the most beneficial situation for us. ”

Speaking of this, Li Ziyuan paused for a moment and said, "Lao He, have you ever heard of the truth of boiling frogs in warm water?" If you boil the water too hot all at once, the frog will definitely not stay in the water honestly. It also has legs, and when the water gets too hot all at once, it will make him feel dangerous, and he will jump out of the water with all his might. ”

"And we take a low heat and simmer, heat the cold water little by little, and the frog will not perceive the danger, and the frog will be cooked little by little. In the future, I think our main combat posture will be to attack in turn with small units to weaken the strength of the two puppet armies little by little. When they don't perceive the danger, they give them a little bit of blood. ”

After Li Ziyuan's words were finished, He Sanliang fell into deep thought. Although he had never heard of the truth of boiling frogs in warm water. But the meaning of it, Li Ziyuan explained it a little, and He Sanliang immediately understood the meaning. Moreover, the meaning of Li Ziyuan's words has already pointed out his next strategic intention.

That is, to pull one to fight the two puppet armies, as for who to pull and who to fight, it is not up to the two puppet armies to decide the distance from themselves. It's the strength of these two puppet armies, whoever is the biggest will fight first. Let the balance of the two puppet armies be maintained, and no one can help anyone, which is equivalent to making these two puppet armies never able to pinch together.

In addition, by using the base of Qiaokou, it is close to Pingchuan and is in a condescending position in terms of terrain. The effect of forming a magnet is to fully mobilize the strength of the puppet army by taking advantage of Wang Tieshi's fear of his own troops. Give the troops room to maneuver and create more space. This is a clever move, but how to operate it must be carefully weighed.

He Sanliang thought for a while, and then spoke: "If the Japanese army adjusts the defense area of the puppet army, shrinks Wang Tieshi's forces to the western part of Hubei, transfers the territory of Ludong to the puppet security independent division, and advances the defense area of this puppet army to confront us, then what should we do?" ”

Regarding He Sanliang's last question, Li Ziyuan smiled: "In that case, I'm afraid it will be the most beneficial for us." Isn't it a joke to let two puppet armies that are intriguing all day long form an overall line of defense? It is estimated that when the time comes, we will fight that unit, and the other group is probably all friendly forces in trouble and will not move like a mountain. ”

"When the time comes, we will ask the military region and the sub-district to concentrate our forces to completely solve one of the two puppet armies. However, this practice should be avoided as much as possible. The reason is simple, defeat either of these two puppet armies. I am afraid that in order to fill the vacancy in their defense area, the Japanese army will transfer Wang's puppet Second Front Army to the Ludong area. ”

"This Wang Puppet Second Front Army, we haven't fought before. Although the overall equipment is not as good as these two puppet armies, this puppet army from the Northwest Army, which is from the old background, is very tenacious in combat. It can even be said that it has both offense and defense, and dares to fight with us with bayonets. Far more than these two puppet armies, it is okay to fight a defensive war, but it is much more difficult to deal with the puppet army with poor offensive ability. ”

"In fact, no matter how the Japanese army adjusts the deployment and defense area of the puppet army, we only need to hold on to one way to deal with it, that is, the rafters who hit the head first. As long as you have this tactical requirement, it is perfectly fine to adapt to all changes. How you mobilize you is your business, how I should fight or hit mine, everything will not be separated from it. ”
