Chapter 599: Add an extra safety lock!

When the additional garrison brigade sent by the headquarters arrived in Huangchuan, He Zhengdao also quietly arrived at the Gushi front. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn order to ensure the safety and confidentiality of this trip, He Zhengdao did not enter the city, but asked Feng Zhi'an to meet outside the city.

For such a cautious invitation, Feng Zhi'an also did not refuse. At least Feng Zhi'an also knows in his heart that the Japanese army has been stepping up its investigation into the deployment of the 77th Army recently, and some things really need to be careful.

At present, He Zhengdao asked him to meet on the defensive position, in fact, it is also out of this consideration. As a military commander, Feng Zhi'an naturally also needs to go to the frontline position to check the defense. In this way, when the two meet, they will not let too many people know.

With the guard battalion and Qiu Jingshan, who was in charge of liaison, He Zhengdao and Feng Zhi'an reunited again. This time, the 77th Army will assume the role of assisting the defense, and He Zhengdao nominally uses the same command and dispatch power for the 77th Army.

In an inconspicuous small valley, He Zhengdao and Feng Zhi'an did not put any military commanders on the shelf, they directly found two stones and sat down, took a topographic map from Huaibin to Gushi, and began to assign the defense areas they were responsible for.

Divide their respective defense zones clearly in advance, naturally so that they will not be ripped off in the future. If the Japanese army breaks through in whose defensive zone, it will not be a good thing for both sides.

And this time, the blocking strategy implemented by the 77th Army is also a continuous blockade. At least Feng Zhi'an knew very well that with the words of the 77th Army alone, it was completely powerless to stop the advance of the Japanese Third Division, and could only continue the Japanese offensive by blocking in sections.

Looking at the Japanese planes flying in the sky from time to time during the negotiation, Feng Zhi'an said with a little worry: "It seems that the little devil began to strengthen the air reconnaissance of our defense area today, and now our defense has fallen under the nose of the little devil." ”

Regarding Feng Zhi'an's worries, He Zhengdao said with a smile: "This kind of thing, in fact, we should have expected it a long time ago. Compared with us, we can only carry out ground reconnaissance with our little devils, and with our air superiority, we can carry out air-ground reconnaissance.

But to put it mildly, we have an advantage in ground reconnaissance. And aerial reconnaissance can sometimes confuse little devils. After all, even if the little devil's pilot has good eyesight, he is still sitting in the plane looking down.

As long as we use more tricks for the little devils when we are armed, we may be able to confuse the little devils. In some places where our defense forces are relatively weak, it is completely possible for the people to wear clothes and move around a little more.

In the areas where the real focus is on deployment, after the arrival of the troops, the daytime movements should be as small as possible. You can rest more during the day and start digging and building fortifications at night. In this way, it can also make the little devils unable to figure out the key points of our arming. ”

With such a long defensive front, there are naturally places for key defenses. Whether it is He Zhengdao's new 67th Army or Feng Zhi'an's 77th Army, it is also necessary to do some screening and focus on deploying defenses in some key areas.

Hearing He Zhengdao say this, Feng Zhi'an thought for a while and said, "It's too! It seems that the little devil regards Brother He as a nemesis, which makes sense. This kind of tactic of combining virtual and real, Brother He is very slippery! ”

'No way! There is a big gap between us and the little devils in terms of weapons and the tactical literacy of the troops. The only advantage may be that it has a little geographical advantage. If you don't think about it, you'll suffer! ’

After replying to Feng Zhi'an with a smile, He Zhengdao also briefly explained some tips for virtual and real defense to Feng Zhi'an. As a military commander, with He Zhengdao's explanation, he will naturally have some understanding.

Just when the two of them arranged their respective defense areas and assigned them about the same. Xu Hao, who came out with He Zhengdao, quickly stepped forward and said, "Commander, the command headquarters is in an emergency, the little devil bombed Huaibin City just now. ”

Upon hearing this, He Zhengdao frowned and said, "Is the loss of the troops big?" ”

'Battle damage is being counted!' According to the situation reported by the forward air defense post, the little devils dispatched quite a few bomber squads today. In addition to Huaibin City, the little devils also bombarded several of our defensive positions. ’

Feng Zhi'an, who was sitting on the side, also heard Xu Hao's report, and thought for a while: "Brother He, it seems that the little devil should know that the troops defending the Huaibin front line this time are your troops. This is revenge! ”

'No problem! This kind of thing is also a matter of time or time! Commander Feng, the deployment of our two armies will be done according to what we have discussed before. Let's start arming tonight! If there is a situation, communicate by telegram in a timely manner. ’

'Good! Originally, I wanted to invite Brother He to have a light meal, but now it seems that I am afraid that I will save it until next time! ’

'It's okay! There are many opportunities to eat, and it doesn't hurt to get together again at the celebration banquet. By the way, the spy activities of the little devils have been very strong recently, and when Commander Feng travels, he should also be more careful and safe.

I believe that Commander Feng also knows that the little devil is still very despicable in some things. Even if you have a command post in the military headquarters, it is best to arrange a few more, and change them from time to time to confuse the little devils.

Once you let the little devils scout the location of your headquarters, I believe they still have a way to guide their planes to carry out aerial bombardment through ground guidance. It's still dangerous! ’

'Thank you Brother He for reminding me! Don't worry, my old Feng has been fighting for many years, and it is not so easy for the little devil to want my life. ’

After the two smiled and shook hands, they quickly ended this round of front-line consultations. Compared with He Zhengdao, who had to return to the Huaibin front, Feng Zhi'an continued to inspect the front line, so as to confuse the reconnaissance of the Japanese spies.

Judging from the situation of this round of meetings, Feng Zhi'an still breathed a sigh of relief. Because, compared with the area and area defended by the new 67th Army, the 77th Army is indeed much easier, and only needs to focus on defending a few places.

But even so, Feng Zhi'an still didn't dare to relax at all, he knew very well that the 77th Army needed to do its best to hold these places. Only in this way can he keep the little devil from taking advantage of it.

And when the two discussed before, He Zhengdao also reminded that the little devil might strengthen the attack on the flanks. If a frontal assault fails, the Japanese may adopt the tactics of a flank attack.

Feng Zhi'an, who had also had several encounters with the Japanese army, also knew that He Zhengdao's worries were likely to become a reality. This also means that just because the area of defense is smaller, it doesn't mean that he really has peace of mind.

After separating from Feng Zhi'an, He Zhengdao took the guard battalion on the road back to Huaibin. Regarding the situation reported by Xu Hao before, He Zhengdao was not too worried. The Japanese began to bomb, which was also expected.

When he was resting halfway, He Zhengdao looked at the deployment map discussed earlier, and finally said: "Xu Hao, send a power to the Gushi Independent Battalion, and let them secretly build ambush fortifications on the Yinshan Highway in Xuji, so that the 77th Army can't know about it."

In addition, he sent a telegram to the 1st Division and 4th Regiment, and from this evening, he secretly stationed in Yinshan. After arriving in Yinshan, he cooperated with the independent battalion to carry out the operation. No matter what happens on the front line, you are not allowed to move without my orders. ”

Hearing this, Xu Hao said with a little confusion: "Commander, isn't Xu Ji in charge of the defense of the 77th Army?" ”

'Nice! According to the previous allocation, the 77 Army was to place a brigade of defensive units here. But this is also the junction of the defenses of our two armies, and the little devil believes that he will learn about this soon.

This is also our flank, and if the Japanese launch a surprise attack here, our troops stationed nearby will be nearly a day's journey. This means that this is actually a defensive hole.

When I was talking with Commander Feng just now, although I told him that I must send more troops to garrison here. But I personally feel that the more troops deployed here, the more likely it is that it will become a key target for the Japanese army.

If the commander of the little devil is not stupid, he will definitely not go head-to-head with us, attacking from the junction, and then attacking from both sides, and then it will be very difficult for us to block.

On the bright side, the 77th Army arranged a brigade of troops stationed in this town, which can be regarded as a key defense. But once this place was broken through by the Japanese army, Gushi City was completely exposed to the Japanese army's attack sight.

Once Gushi is occupied by the Japanese army, it will pose a major threat to our overall defense. At that time, the fortifications we have laid out in Huaibin will also be useless. That's why I need to add a safety lock! ’

After listening to He Zhengdao's explanation and analysis, Xu Hao said thoughtfully: "What does the commander mean that they can't hold here?" ”

'Maybe! But I have to be careful! Sometimes when we lead troops to fight, we all need to learn to think from the other side's point of view. The level of the little devil's commander is not low, and they should be able to consider such a situation.

Rather than attacking our defensive positions head-on, finding a breakthrough point that can turn the tide of battle with relative ease is what a commander should do. If nothing else, this will be the focus of the Japanese offensive.

Even in order to be able to make a breakthrough here, the little devils will definitely make a feint and place the real main force here. As long as the Japanese army deploys a brigade to attack here, the infantry brigade of the 77th Army will not be able to hold here. ’

Considering the problem from the opponent's standpoint, this is the empathy that He Zhengdao has always emphasized. At least in He Zhengdao's view, when the Japanese army arranges its troops, it sometimes considers the issue of battle damage.

If the 3rd Division pays a heavy price in this attack, even if they can enter and break through Huaibin and Gushi. It's a failure for them!

As the war continued, so did the number of troops the Japanese needed. How to use limited forces to create unlimited victories has become a problem that some commanders of the Japanese army must ponder.

It was precisely because he knew these things that He Zhengdao felt that it was very necessary to transfer a garrison regiment and add an extra safety lock to the junction. Even if this opportunity is seized, the 3rd Division may be severely damaged.

This is also what He Zhengdao suddenly realized on the way back. And according to the results of the analysis, adjustments were quickly made. Now it's up to the little devil to take the bait as he expected! (To be continued.) )
