"That's nothing." Lu Xiufeng said, "It's a big deal, just give this hundred and ten catties here." ”

"Nope." Yue Weihan waved his hand and said, "We can only win this battle, not lose!" ”

Seeing that Yue Weihan spoke, Lu Xiufeng and Liu Yi immediately stopped talking, although these two people have not followed Yue Weihan for too long, they have almost blind confidence in Yue Weihan, the reason is very simple, since the Sixing Warehouse was born, Yue Weihan has really not suffered any big losses, even if he occasionally suffers a small loss, he can quickly get back to the field!

After pondering at the map for a moment, Yue Weihan said again: "You say, how should this battle be fought?" ”

"The enemy is coming in three ways, and I will only go all the way!" Lu Xiufeng said, "First let the main force of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army drag the 20th Division advancing eastward, and then let the Reading Brigade of the Eighth Route Army Southern Hebei Military Region drag the 6th and 13th Divisions going north, while the main force of our Baoshan Division will take the opportunity to move north, and first solve the problem of the Reading Force in Baoding mixed into the 11th Brigade." ”

"The enemy is coming in three ways, and I only go all the way?" Liu Yi couldn't help but move slightly.

"But the army of the North Road doesn't have to pay attention to it." Yue Weihan waved his hand and said very firmly, "Beiping, Tianjin, and Baoding are important military towns in North China, and the army will never dare to move in a big way, and if you send a few infantry brigades to the south, it may not be able to help anything, so I dare to assert that the 11th Brigade will never dare to go south." ”

As soon as the words fell, Gao Jingwu, the director of the intelligence department, came in and reported: "Military seat, the North China Front Army Headquarters has just issued an order to the 11th Brigade of the Reading Power Mixed Formation, asking them to withdraw to Baoding. ”

Liu Yi and Lu Xiufeng were awe-inspiring when they heard this, and when they looked at Yue Weihan again, their eyes became more and more reverent.

Yue Weihan didn't seem to be aware of it, waved his hand and retreated Gao Jingwu, and then said, "Now there are two ways left." ”

Liu Yi pondered for a moment and said: "Military seat, although the Eighth Route Army is good at guerrilla warfare, it is impossible to hold the Yue Army for too long, I think it is better to send a brigade to the west to take Niangzi Pass with lightning speed, and then rely on the favorable terrain of Niangzi Pass to block the 20th Division of the Yue Army's eastward advance, and the main force of the division will take the opportunity to go south, join the 181st Division, the new 6th Division, and the new 9th Division, and meet the 6th and 13th Divisions of the Yue Army in southern Hebei. ”

"Nope." Lu Xiufeng shook his head resolutely and said, "Dividing troops to fight is a taboo for soldiers!" ”

After saying this, Lu Xiufeng said again: "It's still the same sentence, the enemy comes in two ways, and I will only go all the way!" I believe that we should concentrate our forces to the south, join the 181st Division, the new 6th Division, and the new 9th Division to meet the 6th and 13th Divisions of the Yue Army, and then turn back to meet the 20th Division of the Yue Army advancing eastward after settling this route. ”

Liu Yi said: "After all, the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army is a [***] unit, and it is not subordinate to the battle sequence of the New Sixth Army, although they promised to help, but it is impossible for them to delay the army, if we can't quickly annihilate the 6th and 13th divisions of the army going north, it is likely to fall into a desperate situation of being attacked by the enemy." ”

Lu Xiufeng said disapprenorovingly: "From Taiyuan to Shimen, more than 200 kilometers are rugged and difficult mountain roads, and the Eighth Route Army is very good at guerrilla warfare, so it is absolutely impossible for the 20th Division of the Army to advance eastward to quickly rush to Shimen!" According to the most conservative estimates, it will take the army 10 days to complete the more than 200 kilometers of mountain roads. ”

Liu Yi said: "But how easy is it to defeat the 6th and 13th divisions of the Yue army going north in ten days? ”

"It's man-made." Lu Xiufeng said-for-tat, "The battle has not been fought, who dares to assert words and deeds or not?" ”

Yue Weihan Huo Ran raised his hand to stop the quarrel between the two, and immediately fell into deep thought on the map.

When Yue Weihan's gaze inadvertently swept over the Niangzi Pass, he suddenly paused, and then Yue Weihan slapped the map heavily and said in a deep voice: "This is it, Niangzi Pass!" ”

"Huh?" Liu Yi and Lu Xiufeng are a little unclear.

Yue Weihan seemed to have figured out what joints, he was in a good mood at the moment, and said happily: "What Xiufeng said just now is right, the enemy is divided into two ways, and I will only go all the way, but the first thing to solve is not the 6th and 13th divisions going north, but the 20th division of the eastward expansion, which is also the persimmon to pick up the soft pinch!" ”

"Do you want to pick up soft pinching persimmons?"

"Let's take the 20th Division of the eastward advance first?"

Liu Yi and Lu Xiufeng looked at each other, such a decision was somewhat unexpected by the two.

Of course, if Yue Weihan's words were heard by Lieutenant General Kawagishi Fumisaburo, the commander of the 20th Division of the Yue Army, he would definitely be so angry that he vomited blood, and the 20th Division was one of the seventeen most elite permanent divisions of the Imperial Army, and it actually became a soft persimmon in Yue Weihan's mouth, how could it be unreasonable?

"Throne, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, right?" Liu Yi hurriedly said, "The 20th Division is a permanent division. ”

"And the 20th Division has hardly been hit hard." Lu Xiufeng also said, "Although the 6th Division is also an old permanent division, it was almost disabled in the Battle of Nanjing!" The re-replenished 6th Division is far inferior to the 20th Division in terms of the number of soldiers and the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers. ”

"What's more,......" Liu Yi paused, and then said, "The 6th and 13th Divisions have just been withdrawn from the Wuhan battlefield, and their officers and men cannot be compared with the 20th Division, which has been recuperating for a long time, both mentally and physically!" Purely in terms of combat effectiveness, the 6th and 13th Divisions combined will not be much stronger than the 20th Division. ”

Yue Weihan waved his hand and said, "That's it, let's take the 20th Division first!" ”

"Okay, then let's take the 20th Division first!" Liu Yi and Lu Xiufeng immediately stopped objecting.

"The Zhengtai Railway has been paralyzed after being attacked by the Eighth Route Army, and has not yet been opened to traffic, and the Zhengtai Highway passes through the Taihang Mountains, and the canyons on both sides of the highway are endless, and the terrain is very suitable for large-scale ambush warfare." Yue Weihan said this, and a sinister smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Also, don't forget that we still have more than 2,000 rounds of large-caliber grenades!" ”

"Large-caliber grenades?"

"But we don't have heavy artillery, do we?"

Liu Yi and Lu Xiufeng looked at each other in amazement, on the military train intercepted at the Zhengding Railway Station, it was full of thousands of tons of weapons and ammunition, including more than 2,000 rounds of large-caliber grenades, but Niu Dagen's artillery regiment only had field artillery, infantry artillery plus mortars, and the largest caliber was only 75mm, and there was no large-caliber heavy artillery at all.

"We don't have heavy artillery, but shells don't necessarily need artillery to fire!"

Yue Weihan paused, and said: "If I'm not mistaken, the shells can be fired directly, you can imagine that if more than 2,000 shells are laid on both sides of the Shitai Highway, and when the marching columns of the 20th Division of the Yue Army pass by, then they will be suddenly fired, hehe, what will be the result?" ”

Liu Yi and Lu Xiufeng shivered violently at the same time, only to feel a chill down their backs.

"Chu Zhongtian!" Yue Weihan immediately raised his head and shouted, "Go, call Tang Dashan to me!" ”

Chu Zhongtian immediately took the order and left, and soon called Tang Dashan, the deputy head of the guard regiment, over.

Tang Dashan strode into the war room, first stood upright, saluted Yue Weihan, Liu Yi and Lu Xiufeng successively, and then asked Yue Weihan: "Military seat, are you looking for me?" ”

Yue Weihan didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly: "Datang, can the cannonball be fired directly?" ”

"Yes." Tang Dashan said without thinking, "Two batteries, and two more wires will be done." ”

Yue Weihan thought for a while, and then said, "What if it is more than 2,000 shells, can it be guaranteed to be fired at the same time?" ”

"That's fine, as long as the wires and batteries are enough to fire at the same time." Tang Dashan seemed to realize something, and asked, "Junzao, do you want to use the more than 2,000 large-caliber grenades intercepted this time directly as artillery targets?" I'm afraid this won't work, if you don't use the breech to fire, you can't hit too far, and the accuracy is extremely poor, and it's easy to blow up your own people. ”

Speaking of which, as a traverser, Yue Weihan is quite clear about the firing principle of artillery shells.

The firing principle of the artillery shell is actually to use a large amount of gas produced by the instantaneous combustion of the primer to form an extremely high air pressure in the closed gun chamber, and then push the grenade warhead or solid warhead violently out.

"I know that." Yue Weihan nodded, and said, "Okay, you go and prepare batteries and wires right now, and you must ensure that you can fire two thousand shells at the same time." ”

"Yes." Tang Dashan stood upright and took the order.

Without waiting for Tang Dashan to go far, Lu Xiufeng couldn't wait to ask: "Junzuo, is it time to inspect the terrain now?" ”

If Yue Weihan's tactic can really succeed, it will certainly deal a heavy blow to the 20th Division of the Chinese Army advancing eastward, but it is impossible to solve all the problems with just more than 2,000 shells, and since the 20th Division is a permanent division, its will to fight is unquestionable, and even if more than half of the casualties are killed, it will never give up resistance.

Therefore, the Baoshan Division also needs to choose a suitable terrain and fight a large-scale ambush battle.

"No, you don't need to look at the terrain, it's Niangzi Pass!" Yue Weihan shook his head and said in a cruel voice, "Niangzi Pass is the burial place of the 20th Division of the Yue Army!" ”

Speaking of which, Yue Weihan has been to Niangzi Pass.

Niangzi Pass is known as the ninth pass in the world, the terrain is dangerous, and it is a good place to ambush.

What's more, Niangziguan still has a special meaning for Chinese people.

Because the Battle of Xinkou was defeated because of the loss of Niangzi Pass, the failure of the Battle of Xinkou created the glory of the 5th Division of the "Steel Army" of the Army, but it has also become an eternal shame in the hearts of the Chinese [***] people, if this time the Baoshan Division can completely annihilate the 20th Division of the Yue Army in Niangzi Pass, it will not only be able to wash away the shame of the [***] people, but also will cast the glory of the "Iron Army" of the Baoshan Division!
