Chapter 827 The plan is risky

Sun Weiguo came directly to the map, he was not polite, picked up the baton placed next to the map, Sun Weiguo began to tell his thoughts.

Unlike the main force of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region to avoid the Japanese troops, Sun Weiguo wanted to put the main force in front of the Japanese army to confront it, but Sun Weiguo's frontal confrontation was not just blindly engaged in positional warfare with the Japanese troops, but to use ambushes, guerrillas, flanks, tail attacks and other methods to consume the exhausted Japanese troops and morale in stages, and use the main force to drag the Japanese troops to the decisive battle area little by little for a decisive battle.

According to Sun Weiguo's plan, the focus of the Japanese army's attack was in the area of Wutai County, and Sun Weiguo's Honorary Second Division served as the garrison of Wutai County, and the troops of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region delayed the attacking Japanese army, dragging the Japanese troops to Wutai County little by little, and then fought a decisive battle with the Japanese troops in Wutai County with the troops of the Honorary Second Division.

After all the Japanese troops arrived in Wutai County, the troops of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region and the troops of the 120th Division immediately cooperated with the troops of the Honorary Second Division to carry out operations against the Japanese army and carry out a decisive battle.

Sun Weiguo's operational plan is derived from the Heavenly Furnace Tactics of General Xue Yue, the commander of the Ninth Theater during the Anti-Japanese War, and General Xue Yue's Heavenly Furnace Tactics showed great might in the three Changsha Battles, and the Japanese troops were powerless to resist.

This time, Sun Weiguo planned to borrow General Xue Yue's Heavenly Furnace method of warfare to inflict heavy losses on the Japanese troops, so as to gain the initiative for the troops of the Eighth Route Army.

The Heavenly Furnace method of warfare is a tactic that tests the coordination ability of troops and the command ability of military commanders.

The most important point is that the troops must not be dragged down, not disorganized, advance and retreat in an orderly manner, and the most important point is that the troops guarding the bottom of the furnace must be the elite of the elite, otherwise once the Japanese army breaks through the bottom of the furnace, the entire battle plan will be disrupted, which is also the reason why Sun Weiguo proposed that the honorary second division serve as the garrison of Wutai County.

"Division Commander Sun, the main force of the army stays in the base area to confront it head-on, if it is dumpled by the little devil, the troops will be in trouble."

After listening to Sun Weiguo's words, a staff officer of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region Headquarters said with a worried face.

"The main force of the troops and the Japanese army are not to fight positional warfare with the Japanese army, but to plan and purposefully consume and attack the Japanese troops, our troops are very familiar with the nearby terrain, as long as the purpose is completed, the troops can quickly jump to the periphery, and consume the exhausted Japanese troops by flanking, guerrilla, ambush, tail attack, etc. The main forces of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region and the 120th Division still had to jump to the periphery. ”

Sun Weiguo pointed to the county seat where the 120th Division and the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region were active on the map, and he said in a calm tone.

The Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region Headquarters began to become unusually quiet, no one was talking, everyone was looking at each other, they were obviously suppressed by Sun Weiguo's words.

This operation was a forced decisive battle with the Japanese troops, which was different from the strategy of the Eighth Route Army, which was active behind enemy lines and adopted flexible guerrilla warfare.

Fighting positional warfare and forcibly engaging in a decisive battle with the Japanese army was not the strategy of the Eighth Route Army, and no one could bear this responsibility if there were heavy casualties.

"Defending the country, the Japanese army is currently mobilizing troops such as the 109th Division, the 110th Division, the 26th Division, the Independent Mixed Second Brigade, and the Independent Mixed Fourth Brigade, if you honor the Second Division to participate in the war, then the Japanese 114th Division, 21st Division, Independent Garrison, and Mixed Third Brigade will all participate in the war, and these Japanese troops will have more than 100,000 troops. If they hit Wutai County, you will be under great pressure, and once our Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region and the troops of the 120th Division are unable to pose a threat to the Japanese army, I am afraid that they will completely besiege your Honorary Second Division. ”

Commander Nie looked at Sun Weiguo, and he said worriedly.

Sun Weiguo glanced at political commissar Shen Wei, and a determined expression appeared on his face.

"Commander, as long as the troops of our Honorary Second Division are stationed in Wutai County, then they will be nailed to Wutai County, we will definitely not take a step back, as long as there is one person in our Honorary Second Division, we will not let the little devils capture Wutai County. Moreover, before the Japanese army units meet in Wutai County, we will strive to defeat the Japanese army and demoralize the Japanese army. ”

Sun Weiguo looked at Commander Nie with a firm gaze, and he said with a serious expression.

Sun Weiguo attached great importance to this operation, and he knew that if the Japanese troops could not be severely damaged through this operation, and when all the troops sent to the Wuhan front by the North China Front Army returned, the troops of the Eighth Route Army would be greatly suppressed, especially the Honorary Second Division, which would definitely become the focus of the Japanese army's attack.

"Weiguo, your plan is too risky, once there is any mistake, the Jinchaji Military Region, the 120th Division, and the Honorary Second Division will all suffer a devastating blow. If there is an accident in the troops, it will be too late for us to regret it, so you should think about it more. ”

Commander Nie shook his head slightly, his eyes looked at Sun Weiguo, and said in a solemn tone.

Sun Weiguo's plan obviously required close cooperation among all departments, and at the same time, it also required a head-on decisive battle with the Japanese troops, and Commander Nie could see how much risk there was involved.

In particular, the troops of the Honorary Second Division came to garrison Wutai County and fight a decisive battle with the Japanese army, which was even more risky.

Sun Weiguo's plan was that the 120th Division and the troops of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region would drag the Japanese troops to Wutai County, and then the troops would jump to the periphery, and when all the little devils arrived in Wutai County, the 120th Division and the troops of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region would quickly fight back from the periphery and encircle the Japanese troops.

However, once the Japanese army blocked the 120th Division and the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region with a small force, and besieged Wutai County with the main force with all its might, the troops of the Honorary Second Division garrisoning Wutai County would suffer huge casualties, and they might even be completely annihilated.

Before the little devils attacked Shanxi, they only dispatched 70,000 or 80,000 troops, but this time the Japanese army gathered more than ten troops.

Commander Nie and Chief of Staff Tang glanced at each other, they knew how risky Sun Weiguo's plan was, and they knew even more that the troops of the Eighth Route Army could not afford such a risk.

In particular, once the troops of the Honorary Second Division are completely annihilated, it will be a devastating blow to the morale of the military and the people of the whole country, especially for the Eighth Route Army, it will be a heavy loss.

"Commander, Chief of Staff, this opportunity is rare, and if we don't seize this opportunity, there will be no such opportunity in the future. Once the Japanese troops in North China who participated in the Battle of Wuhan return to their garrisons, we will be in a very dangerous situation, and if we do not take the opportunity to defeat some Japanese troops now, we will be under great pressure in the future, and it will be too late for us to regret it at that time. ”

Sun Weiguo could see that neither Commander Nie nor Chief of Staff Tang supported his battle plan, he looked at them and said in a solemn tone.

"Weiguo, this plan is too risky, we can't make decisions at will." Commander Nie shook his head lightly and said, obviously he would not be easily convinced.
