Chapter 433 Whose Tao is deeper?

Mengzi is a strong person, no matter how much pressure he has, he can't show it, and he can't let his subordinates see it. He knew his position in the Volunteer Army, although there were still commanders, Hu Daniu and Fifth Uncle above, but the Volunteer Army was used to taking himself as the backbone, and the fierce son also gladly accepted it.

Now is a critical period, if you can't stabilize your position, then it will be ruined, and if you don't wait for the war to start, you will lose your morale first, and you will not be able to fight this battle in the future. This is also why, as soon as he heard that there were three or four thousand more people in the team, Mengzi was a little excited and couldn't help himself.

As soon as he filled his stomach, Mengzi was not busy resting, he and Liu Shusheng took out the map again and studied the deployment of troops.

Lianhuashan is only a relatively large village and town, with a permanent population of 40,000 to 50,000. Because of the production of gold, large and small gold mines are all over the ditches and forks of the town, which is also an important reason why Lianhua Mountain is more prosperous than the county seat.

The largest were only two or three gold mines, all of which were in the hands of the Volunteers.

Lotus Mountain is really different from other places, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and in the middle is this Lotus Mountain Town. Only one road to the east can be accessed. The southwest side of the mountain on three sides is the steepest, and even if there is no one to guard it, it will be difficult for a large army to cross this mountain beam. And beyond this mountain, through the primeval forest, is the boundary of Lijiatai, but it is quite close, in fact, it is impossible to cross from here to Lijiatai.

For Lotus Mountain, the north side of the mountain is relatively not so dangerous, because most of the gold mines are distributed in this mountain stream, but after walking about 20 or 30 kilometers inside, after walking out of the mining area, the mountain is the same as the southwest side, and it is impossible to pass through at all. But the twenty or thirty kilometers in depth is not as flat as in the town, but full of ravines and small rivers.

"Shusheng, how are you arranging your current regiment?" Looking at the map, Mengzi asked thoughtfully.

"Deputy commander, except for the first battalion and the regimental headquarters stationed in the town, the remaining four battalions are on the hills on both sides of the entrance to the town. These two mountains, just one south and one north, we call it two ghosts knocking on the door, as long as this stuck dead, no matter how many people, they can't enter the town. The regimental chief of staff pointed to the map and said.

"I've been up to the two hills you mentioned, and if you don't have a large army with heavy firepower, it will be difficult to break through. But this time is different, this time the little devils not only have tanks and artillery, I guess they will also be used by airplanes. Therefore, these two mountains are too small, adjust them, leave one battalion on each mountain, the second battalion in the south mountain, the third battalion in the north mountain, and the rest of the people are transferred to the direction of the gold mine in the north.

You must clearly tell these second and third battalions not to hold on to it, and to be flexible when the time comes, and to defend it if you can, and withdraw if you can't hold it.

The first battalion living in the town was transferred to the southwest mountain to garrison, ready to meet the second battalion on the hill to the south at any time.

The four battalions and five battalions were responsible for receiving the three battalions on the hill to the north. In this way, as soon as the little devils rush in, lead them to the gold mines to the north, where the three battalions of you will lay in ambush. I looked, in these twenty or thirty kilometers, tanks and artillery are not useful at all, and airplanes are useless, except for ditches and trees. So, let's fight them in this area.

For the time being, it will be deployed like this, when you really want to fight, look at the situation, and let Liu Mingjie's group come over and ambush it in the gold mine with your three battalions, so that even if there are more little devils, as long as they enter the gold mine, they will not be able to use it.

So, tomorrow I will go to this area with a few of you to have a good look and find the ambush location first. The first and second battalions in the southwest should ensure that the barrier leading to Lijiatai is not breached. The two battalions also have the help of the mountains, even if the little devil's plane comes, we are not afraid. The people in the town, you do more work, if you can go to your relatives, let them leave for a while, if there is nowhere to go, as soon as the gun goes out, let them go into the mountain, no matter which side of the mountain, as long as they hide inside, they will not be afraid of anything.

Although I don't know the little devil's plan of action yet, I estimate that this time, the Lotus Mountain Kwantung Army will not let it go, so let's entangle with him in the mountains, even if we can't beat them, we won't let the little devil have a good time. Mengzi told a few of them the plan he had thought of on the road.

"Deputy commander, do you mean to transfer Liu Mingjie and Brother Liu's regiment over? That's great, it's great, with Boss Liu here, we have more confidence in our hearts. However, as soon as he came over, what should Ren County do? Liu Shusheng asked worriedly.

"According to the analysis of the current situation, Renxian County will not be able to save it this time. The first target of the little devil is Renxian County, and the county seat is not a mountainous area, there is no danger to defend, the heavy firepower of the Japanese can be used, even if all of our 10,000 people are used, they can't hold it.

When the time comes, leave 3,000 people for the second regiment, plus 2 or 3,000 people from the militia group, withdraw from Renxian City, and retreat to the mountains on the first line of Lijiatai, the little devils just want to chase, and the planes and cannons can't be used, the mountains on that side are similar to here, the mountains are high and dense, and these four or five thousand people are there to block it, not to mention the four or fifty thousand little devils, even one hundred thousand soldiers are useless, hehe, in that place, there is only one mountain road, and there are too many people to crowd together, and they can't get by. When the time comes, I told Yu Bao, don't be greedy to kill as many little devils as you can, just stop it.

Now I'm just worried about how the little devil will play against our Lotus Mountain and how many people he can send. If there are too many people, it's really hard to do. ”

"Deputy commander, if a regiment comes, plus our own people, there will be more than 5,000 people, not counting the militia and militia, if you add them, there are almost more than 7,000 people. 7,000 people, we are guarding, we are not afraid of 20,000 little devils, as long as we bring in gold mines, we can't eat at once, we will slowly entangle with him. Liu Shusheng said confidently.

"Your analysis is right, if there are no more than 20,000 people, this Lotus Mountain is still ours." Mengzi continued.

"If there are too many little devils, what should we do?" The deputy head of the regiment asked worriedly.

"If it's really too much, more than 20,000, then let's beat it up, and then we'll retreat into the mountains. Anyway, now we have food and drink, just consume with them, you can rest assured, the Kwantung Army is now ambitious, this town will not put tens of thousands of people forever, as long as the large army is withdrawn, this Lotus Mountain Lotus Town is still ours. Mengzi said confidently.

As soon as he finished eating the next morning, he took Liu Shusheng and his battalion-level officers together, and spent a day to finally re-survey Lotus Mountain, especially in the area of the gold mine, and looked at it most carefully, according to the ambush of 7,000 people, and chose all the locations, so he left with confidence.

According to the calculation of the attack time of the little devil, there are still more than ten days, and the time is urgent, as soon as the fierce son comes out of Lotus Mountain, he goes straight to Wunu Mountain. This time, the little devil has two targets in the Benxi Lake area, the volunteers are counted as one, and the other is the guerrillas.

Commander Liu Jun and Political Commissar Yang Juan of the Wunushan Guerrilla Brigade happened to be there, and Mengzi was not polite and informed them of what he knew.

"Deputy Commander Liu, what you said is true? I said that why did the little devils stop so much during this period of time, it turned out that there was a big move, and it seems that this time the Japanese are determined to destroy the two of us. But that's not three years ago. In this way, you can rest assured that we will attack all the way, if the Kwantung Army attacks on a large scale, we will retreat to the mountains, and then set up ambushes in the mountains on both sides of the mountain road of Tiesha Mountain and Wunu Mountain, this area, both sides are in the mountains, and the mountain road is narrow, and only one car can pass, so that even if the little devil has more tanks, it will have to stand and platoon one by one, and when the time comes, as long as the dozen in front are paralyzed, let alone the car, even people are not happy, we will fight down on the mountain, and no matter how many people will not be able to pass. Commander Liu looked at the map and thought for a long time and said.

"Commander Liu, are you ready to give up Wunu Mountain?" Takeko stood beside him, looked at the map and said.

"If the Kwantung Army really wants to attack in a big way, we have no choice but to do it. I guess this time the little devil won't be soft on Wunu Mountain. You see, the terrain of the Five Girls Mountain runs north-south, and a road runs directly through the middle of the town, and the terrain in this area is open, and the mountains on both sides are far from the center of the town. If there are not many Japanese arrivals, we can ambush them at the entrance of Gounu Mountain, but this time I am afraid that it will not work, we add up the squadrons of each district, and there are only about 5,000 people, and we can't stop so many Kwantung Army. So, I want to lure them in, and to set up an ambush in this place, preferably to entangle them, so that it can also relieve you of some pressure. Deputy Commander Liu, you won't be like us, trying to hide from the little devils, right? Liu Jun looked at Mengzi and asked.

"Commander Liu, Political Commissar Yang, I think so, the little devil entered the mountain this time, and there were three targets, one is your Wunu Mountain, one is Renxian City and my Tiesha Mountain, and the other should be Lotus Mountain. I mean, a war of annihilation in Lotus Mountain. Fierce said, staring at the map.

"You mean that you want Lotus Mountain to give the little devils a war of annihilation? The geographical location of Lotus Mountain is really good, but you can't completely annihilate the invading little devils, you can only destroy a part, or even a small part. I have stayed in Lotus Mountain, the terrain is somewhat similar to our Wunu Mountain, and there is no way to ambush the center of the town, so we can only lure the Japanese to the area of the gold mines. But the rear of that area is the center of the town, and as soon as the little devils suffer, as long as they retreat, they will be safe, because they can deploy all their heavy firepower in the center of the town. Commander Liu said analytically.

When Commander Liu Jun said this, it was already obvious that Lotus Mountain was not an ideal place to fight a war of annihilation.
