At the headquarters of the Japanese brigade in Laiyuan City, the chief of staff was pointing to the map in front of him, and with a serious face, he reported the battle plan that the staff had formulated!

"General, there are a total of six kilometers from the entrance to the station of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, and according to reconnaissance, the Independent Regiment has built a large number of fortifications on this road. Our opinion is, attack right from here! ”

"There are two reasons for this: one is that there is only one existing mountain road into the mountain, and it will require a lot of manpower and material resources to reopen it, and it may not be feasible."

"There is another reason: since the Independent Regiment has spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build this defense line, it will definitely send heavy troops to defend it, and we can just use these defense lines to eliminate a large number of independent regiment troops, lest they take advantage of the bad opportunity and flee into the mountains, which will increase the difficulty of our encirclement and suppression!"

Ono frowned and asked, "Then have you considered the difficulty of the imperial army attacking these defensive positions, and how much it will cost to break through this six-kilometer-long defense line all the way to their station!" ”

"Considered!" The chief of staff took out a piece of information and handed it to Ono.

"According to the investigations, the Independence Regiment built a number of fortifications out of cement on this road. However, they forgot that these fortifications could withstand the shelling of mountain artillery, but they could not withstand the bombardment of air force aerial bombs! ”

"As long as there is army aviation to support us all the way, the imperial army can break through the defense line of the Eighth Route Army all the way at the minimum cost, and then kill and injure a large number of their troops on the battlefield!"

Ono's frowning brows stretched suddenly, and he immediately decided: "Just follow your plan, break through from the front, and directly enter the station of the Independent Regiment!" ”

"However, there is still a need to adjust the troops!"

"Laiyuan City left an infantry brigade, a regiment of the Imperial Army, and all other troops were dispatched."

"The cavalry brigade patrols outside the mountains, it is the mobile unit of the brigade, and it will be reinforced wherever it is attacked!"

"The 1st Infantry Brigade, the 1st Regiment of the Imperial Allied Army, with an infantry squadron and a battalion of the Imperial Allied Army as a unit, set up positions at these four points respectively!"

Ono picked up the baton and pointed to four relatively high vantage points on the sand table.

The chief of staff looked at him and complimented him without hesitation: "The general is wise!" These four vantage points are right on the edge of the mountain, and they are less than five kilometers apart from each other. As long as we occupy these four points and then send troops to patrol, the Eighth Route Army in the mountains will not be able to come out! ”

"That's what it means!" Ono nodded and replied! ad_250_left();

"Although there are no mountain roads here, a small force of the Eighth Route Army can still get out of the mountains. The Eighth Route Army is the best at sending small groups of troops to sneak attack us, so I will block all these possible roads out of the mountains, so that their small forces will not be able to get out! ”

The chief of staff immediately signaled his subordinates to record Ono's order just now, and then analyzed.

"In addition to these troops, we also have three infantry brigades of the Imperial Army, a guard squadron, an artillery brigade, a baggage squadron, and an engineer squadron, with a total strength of 4,500 men. In addition, there is a regiment of the Imperial Allied Army, a guard battalion, and an artillery company, with a total strength of 1,500 people! ”

Ono's eyes quickly shot out two rays of light, and then he made a decision: "I will personally command these troops and launch a frontal attack!" ”

"Chief of Staff, I'll give you two days to prepare, and after two days, the troops will be dispatched on time!"

"Yamamoto-kun, from now on, your intelligence department will closely monitor every move of the independent regiment, and report it to me directly if there is any situation!"

The Japanese army and the Imperial Allied Army all canceled their vacations, Laiyuan City began martial law, and a large number of weapons and ammunition were transported out of the arsenal and distributed to each combat unit...... All these changes indicate the fact that the Japanese army is about to embark on an unprecedented large-scale military operation.

At the regimental headquarters of the Independent Regiment, political commissar Cheng Xiao pinched the information and shouted to Wang Ping as soon as he rushed into the war room.

"Regiment commander, you guessed it right, the devil moved, and the troops should be dispatched in these two days!"

After handing the information in his hand to Wang Ping, he continued: "This is what our intelligence agent risked to send, Laiyuan City has been placed under martial law, and ammunition has begun to be distributed. Today alone, the devils have transported more than 20 carts of ammunition from the arsenal! ”

"The devil finally can't help it!" Wang Ping first let out a cold snort, and then his whole face was covered with seriousness.

"Immediately contact the reconnaissance platoon and closely monitor Laiyuan City. If the devil sends troops, I want to find out the devil's strength and equipment, and if possible, it is best to find out the devil's attack plan! ”

Zeng Quan, who rushed over after hearing the news, also had a serious face, and if you look closely, you will find that there is a touch of solemnity behind the serious expression.

Then, without the slightest hesitation, he replied directly: "I'll go and give the order right away!" ”

Political Commissar Cheng Xiao suddenly reminded: "Do you want to contact the commander!" ”

Wang Ping shook his head first, and then affirmed: "The military sub-district must already know the news." But I still have to remind the commander that before the devil's attack on our independent regiment begins, the main force of the military region must not move. The devil's intelligence agency is not a vegetarian, and even if it is transferred, it must be done at night. ”

"Also, tell the commander that our independent regiment is confident that it will withstand the Japanese attack for at least three days. The military region has time to transfer troops, and the devils must not be allowed to get the news that we are going to attack Laiyuan City in advance! ”

"I'm going to send a telegram to the military division!" Cheng Xiao replied with a serious face, and then prepared to go to the telecommunications room.

"Wait a minute!" Seeing the chief of staff coming back, Wang Ping immediately said.

"I have an idea here that needs the support of the two of you!"

"Nearly 4,000 people of our independent regiment are all stationed at the station, waiting for the devils to attack, isn't it too wasteful of troops!"

Zeng Quan, who formulated the entire defense plan, had the most say.

was stunned for a moment, and then there was an expression of sudden realization on his face.

"Indeed, in the defense plan designated by the General Staff, the engineer company built a total of six defensive lines, and each defensive line could only arrange two companies and three hundred people to fight at one time, and it would be a waste to do more. Under the condition of ensuring the strength of the blocking troops, even if we calculate the casualties of 200 people on each line of defense, only 3,000 people will be needed for six lines of defense! ”

"That means we've got seven or eight hundred more men in your defense plan!" Wang Ping stared at Zeng Quan and asked rhetorically.

"We have arranged these troops into reserves directly under the regimental headquarters, which are also our mobile troops!" Zeng Quan nodded in reply.

"No, you don't!" Wang Ping directly shook his head and refused.

Keeping reserves in the field of fighting a war is the consistent style of commanders at all levels of the Eighth Route Army in commanding operations, and it can also be said to be a rule.

But Wang Ping planned not to implement this rule as soon as he came up, and political commissar Cheng Xiao, as a former military commander, was very aware of the use of reserves on the battlefield.

In many cases, the decisive factor in winning or losing a battle is the reserves.

Therefore, as soon as I heard Wang Ping say not to reserve Cheng Xiao, I was in a hurry!
