August 24, 1939, 3 p.m.

The leading detachment of the Eighth Route Army arrived at the boundary of Taohua Mountain, which was only a dozen miles away from the Japanese army's Peach Blossom Mountain fortress, and at this moment Jiang Daya suddenly ordered the team to stop marching.

The officers and men of the 47th Wing of the Japanese Army, who received the news, were suddenly displeased and even a little annoyed.

It's like saying again: Lao Tzu's pants are all off, why don't you move?

You must know that the officers and men of the 47th Wing of the Japanese Army have the urge to devour blood in their bones, and now that our army has stopped not far from them, they really have a feeling of "strength and nowhere to go", like a punch on cotton.

For a time, many officers and soldiers of the 47th Wing of the Japanese Army advised the commander of the Wing Commander, asking to attack and defeat our army, but all the requests of these soldiers were rejected by Wing Commander Miurasuke.

"The Eighth Route Army is self-righteous and pretends to be smart, are you also stupid?"

"This is obviously the trick of the Eighth Route Army!"

"They know that they can't break through the iron walls of my Peach Blossom Mountain Fortress, so they want to lure our army out and fight them head-on!"

"I know that you are all warriors who are not afraid of sacrifice, but we obviously don't need such a defensive fortress, but instead choose to fight a fortress, isn't this giving up our advantage?"

"Therefore, no matter how arrogant their Eighth Route Army is, no matter how they show weakness to the enemy, as long as we hold the Peach Blossom Mountain Fortress, it will be a victory!"

Hearing the words of Wing Commander Miurasuke, a group of Japanese officers and soldiers were immediately convinced.

The little impulse in his heart was also forcibly suppressed by him one by one.

A Japanese squad leader said in a loud voice: "Your Excellency Wing Commander is right, if you hold the Peach Blossom Mountain Fortress, you will win the victory!" ”

"That's right!"

Another Japanese junior officer said: "Although it is a little unwilling, we must still resolutely carry out the orders of His Excellency the Wing Commander!" ”

~~~~

Jiang Daya stood on top of a hill, holding a telescope and looking at the Japanese Peach Blossom Mountain position in the distance.

"Regiment commander, didn't you say before that the battle plan of showing the enemy weakness and luring the enemy deep is useless? But why do you still use it now? ”

A regimental staff officer couldn't help but ask.

After all, during the previous march, Jiang Daya had asserted that the Japanese army would never lead its troops to leave the fortress and fight a decisive battle with our army in the field.

Jiang Daya smiled and didn't answer, but Zhang Pujing, the political commissar on the side, smiled at the staff officer: "Xiao Wang, who told you that we stopped marching more than ten miles outside the Peach Blossom Mountain Fortress to show the enemy weakness?" ”

"Isn't that?" Counselor Wang asked.

"Of course not."

Zhang Pujing said with a pleasant face: "The regiment commander is playing psychological warfare with the little devils, so that the little devils who have been waiting for us for a few hours will be angry, so that even if they don't leave the fortress, they will definitely be quite unwilling in their hearts, which will be of great benefit to our next plan, whether it is a strong attack or a retreat." ”

Siege for the bottom, attack the heart for the top!

At this moment, Zhang Pujing, who often approves of Jiang Daya's reckless style, looked at Jiang Daya's gaze again, but it was much gentler.

I couldn't help but say in my heart: "Jiang Daya, he has grown a lot." ”

It is not unreasonable that the 886 Regiment led by Jiang Daya has always been able to occupy the first place in strength among the main regiments of the 512 Brigade.

More than half an hour later, Jiang Daya, Zhang Pujing and others, who were observing the terrain, turned back to the leading detachment.

At this moment, Yang Liqing, Yang Zhihua, Baike Qingshan and other commanders and fighters all cast their eyes on Jiang Daya, waiting for him to give the order to attack.

"What's the hurry?"

"You must know that the little devils are much more anxious than us now, they wish we would attack immediately, so as to vent the anger in their chests, but we can't do what they want!"

Jiang Daya waved his hand and smiled, his expression relaxed for a while.

As soon as these words came out, the others did not agree.

Yang Liqing said anxiously: "Captain Jiang, we all know the plan to exhaust the enemy, but if we are so exhausted, we can't get a little good."

Baike Qingshan echoed: "Yes, Big Tooth, when will this left and right wait be the head?" In my opinion, let's fight first, otherwise we will be consumed like this, and before the little devil is discouraged, our soldiers will be discouraged first, and if it goes on like this, how can we fight? ”

The strategy of exhausting the enemy can be described as a trick of killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 of yourself, which is not a good tactic for cavalry that has always paid attention to attacking and winning.

For a while, many people present said that they wanted to attack immediately and fight for a while.

Political Commissar Zhang Pujing frowned and said: "Big Tooth, don't hide it, if you have any ideas, quickly say it all, if you want to attack, you must attack as soon as possible, otherwise if it continues to drag, it will indeed cause a big blow to the morale of our army." ”

"Okay, then I'll talk about it!"

Jiang Daya glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "The enemy in front of us now, everyone knows that it is the elite wing of the 6th Division of the Little Devils.

Its combat effectiveness is absolutely very strong!

Even compared to the main wing of the 5th Division of the Japanese Army that we have encountered in the past, it is not inferior by half a point. So let's be cautious! ”

"Hmm!"

At the moment, although everyone present did not want to admit this, no one refuted it.

The combat effectiveness of the 47th Wing of the Japanese Army is indeed very terrifying!

In a tough battle in the Battle of Wuhan last year, a squadron under the 47th Wing of the Japanese Army, with less than 200 people, stormed a well-fortified position of the Nationalist Army.

Although the number of defenders of the national army on the position is small, there are more than 120 people, and it stands to reason that with such fortifications, it should be able to withstand the attack of more than 200 Japanese troops.

But!

The next battle is completely eye-catching!

This squadron of the 47th Wing of the Japanese Army actually captured this extremely well-fortified position in just two hours.

More than 120 soldiers of the national army on the battlefield were all killed!

The casualties of the Japanese squadron were simply small, only 2 were killed, 6 were seriously wounded, and 2 were lightly wounded.

What a terrible battle loss ratio!

This battle was called the "Battle of Dafu Mountain", and it was even recorded by the Japanese army and included in the military lesson plan.

The terrible 47th Wing of the Japanese Army can be seen.

"The little devils' combat effectiveness is already very strong, and now, they still occupy the fortress of Peach Blossom Mountain, this giant fortress that can be called an impregnable wall, to put it mildly, even if we launch a strong attack, we can't break it in a short time, or rather, it can't be broken at all, but at the moment a strong attack is the only way."

Jiang Daya continued: "According to the map drawn by the commander and our field investigation, we found that if we want to break through the Japanese army's impregnable fortress, the only way is to break through from the inside. And if you want to break through from the inside, you must first surround it and distract the enemy. Therefore, our offensive means are only a tactic, and they are by no means the ultimate goal! ”

When the words fell, the eyes of many commanders and fighters present lit up, and they immediately understood what Jiang Daya meant.

"Commander Jiang is right, the fortress is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so we must find ways to break through from the inside!"

Yang Liqing suddenly realized.

Hao Mengling also echoed: "And if you want to break through from the inside, you must make a gap in the enemy's defense." If you want to create a gap in the enemy's internal defenses, then it is indeed the most effective to implement encirclement. ”

For a while, everyone's thoughts were cleared and their brains were opened.

Constructive ideas that can form an encirclement cannot be stopped like a flood bursting its levees, and they are pouring in.

The final plan: When the morale of the Japanese army is weak, our army should launch a full-scale onslaught with all its might, completely defeating the Japanese army beyond its head, and then be able to cover a small number of our troops, bypass the front of the Japanese fortress, and place troops on the left and right sides of the fortress.

Although one or two times can't send too many troops, as the saying goes, a little adds up.

Under repeated strong attacks, it is enough for us to send enough troops to form an encirclement of the entire Peach Blossom Mountain Fortress!

Jiang Daya said coldly: "As long as an encirclement is formed, we can fight as much as we want, and everything is up to us." ”

Three hours later, the order for a general attack was given.

Jiang Daya roared: "Order the artillery regiment, the 886th regiment, and the temporary first regiment to immediately launch a strong attack on the Japanese Peach Blossom Mountain Fortress!" ”

The moment the order was issued, Yang Liqing, Yang Zhihua and others, who had long been unable to bear it, were like tigers descending from the mountain, and they were like bamboos.

The fourth update of "" is sent.
