The sound of horses' hooves that Yoshio Shinozuka heard from the radio station was real.

Wang Ye was indeed in a hurry when he was talking to Yoshio Shinozuka.

It's just that instead of going south to Yangquan or Liao County, it is back to the north and Wangjia Village to the north.

Soon after cutting off communication with Yoshio Shinozuka, Wang Ye had already arrived in Wangjia Village.

At this time, Li Yunlong had also returned to the brigade headquarters and was complaining to the brigade commander and chief of staff.

Seeing Wang Ye walk in, Li Yunlong immediately greeted him with a smile: "Xiao Wang, are you back?" ”

"Commander." Wang Ye saluted Li Yunlong, and then saluted the brigade commander and chief of staff, "Brigade commander, chief of staff." ”

The brigade commander snorted lightly, glanced at another radio station placed in the war room of the brigade headquarters, and said with a smile: "Xiao Wang, were you tactically deceiving Yoshio Shinozuka again just now?" ”

"Yes." Wang Ye said, "And it should have succeeded." ”

"Oh?" The chief of staff said, "What will the devil do next?" ”

Wang Ye strode to the map spread out on the table, pointed to the map and said: "Brigade commander, chief of staff and regiment commander, you see, after two battles before and after, our mobile column has successively annihilated two reinforcements of the Japanese army, more than 3,000 Japanese troops!" Therefore, Yoshio Shinozuka will definitely think that the main force of our military region is on the front line of Zhaojiayuan. ”

"Otherwise, we will never be able to eat so many Japanese troops in a short period of time."

"In the first phase of the operation, it should be said that the operational objectives have been successfully achieved."

"Hmm." Li Yunlong said, "If I were Yoshio Shinozuka, I would definitely think so." ”

Wang Ye said again: "If the brigade commander thinks that the next battle is risky, it is okay to withdraw now, I dare to guarantee that Yoshio Shinozuka will definitely let the main force of the 2nd Guards Division come up and bite us." ”

After saying this, he added: "However, I still recommend another fight." ”

"Strive to eat the devil one way for reinforcements, if it is possible, try to eat two reinforcements."

"In the end, there are few opportunities to break through, and the devil will not make the same mistake next time."

"If we can break through the two reinforcements again, not only will the main force of the military region and the transfer of civilians be safer, but the second phase of our mobile column will also become relatively easy."

The chief of staff said, "Xiao Wang, we trust your judgment. ”

The brigade commander even said: "Xiao Wang, let's just say what you think." ”

"Yes." Wang Ye responded, pointed to the map and said, "Look at the brigade commander, chief of staff, and regiment commander." ”

"There are many roads from Niangziguan, Shouyang, and Jingcheng County to Zhaojiayuan, but the nearest road is still the road built along the blockade ditch on the north side."

"From the time point of view, the devil in Niangziguan is about half an hour away from Zhao's homeland."

"The devils in Shouyang are about an hour and a half away from Zhao's homeland, and the devils in Jingcheng are about two hours."

"Our original plan was to fight the devils who came from Niangziguan, but the devils in Niangziguan have more than 3,000 troops, and there are also large-caliber heavy howitzers, so we may not be able to gnaw on them."

Hearing this, the brigade commander said: "This is exactly what I am worried about. ”

"yes." The chief of staff said, "In case we can't nibble away the little devils who have been locked up by the lady in a short period of time, and the devils from Shouyang County and Jingcheng County have arrived on the battlefield one after another, we will be very passive." ”

If you evacuate passively, you can't say that you have to leave another army behind.

If this army is left behind, it will suffer heavy losses or even be completely annihilated.

Even after the independent regiment is broken, it is impossible to fight the second battle of Cangyunling.

Wang Ye nodded and said, "But now, we already have a better choice. ”

After a pause, Wang Ye said again: "When I was talking to Yoshio Shinozuka just now, I casually lied to him and said that I was going south, but this old devil panicked all of a sudden!" ”

"This old devil actually deceived me in turn."

"It is said that the Japanese army has laid an ambush on the Sangzhang Bridge."

"Really?" The brigade commander's expression moved, and he said, "Xiao Wang, you mean?" ”

"That's right." Wang Ye nodded vigorously and said, "Not surprisingly, Yoshio Shinozuka, the old devil, must want to transfer the devil who was locked up by the lady to Sangzhang, the purpose of which is to block the passage to the south." ”

The brigade commander said: "You mean, Yoshio Shinozuka is afraid that we will run away." ”

"Yes." Wang Ye said, "If the main force of our military region breaks through and goes south, then the Japanese army in Shanxi will basically fail this sweep against our Taihang Military Region." ”

"Yoshio Shinozuka, isn't this old devil stupid?"

Li Yunlong said: "How can we leave the people in the base area behind? ”

The brigade commander said: "Yoshio Shinozuka is not stupid, he just doesn't understand the relationship between our Eighth Route Army and the common people, so he made such a wrong judgment." ”

Wang Ye said again: "Then the opportunity has appeared." ”

"Once the devil who came over from the lady was rerouted to Sangzhang,"

"Then the distance between Zhao's homeland has been widened again."

"And the devils from Shouyang and Jingcheng will definitely not be diverted."

"If I were Yoshio Shinozuka, I would definitely let the devils who came from the lady guard the mulberry palms and cut off their heads, and then let the devils from Shouyang and Jingcheng seize the Zhao homeland, so as to stop our tail."

"This time, the main force of our Taihang Military Region was cut off and stripped and trapped in the middle of the road."

"At this time, our only choice is probably to throw away all the heavy equipment and mules and horses, and break through lightly."

Saying this, Wang Ye said again: "Although Yoshio Shinozuka's wishful thinking has been in an uproar, but now that we have insight into his intentions, it is destined to end in tragedy. ”

The brigade commander said, "Let's hurry up and make a deduction!" ”

At that moment, a few people were busy.

……

Taiyuan, headquarters of the 1st Army.

Several operational staff officers have already completed the deduction.

"Your Excellency, Commander, please see." Ryuichi Sakamoto invited Yoshio Shinozuka back to the sand table, pointed and said, "This is the result of the deduction in two hours." ”

Yoshio Shinozuka looked at it anxiously.

I saw that the final detachment that had passed over from the lady had seized the Sangzhang Bridge.

The 1st core detachment from Shouyang has also seized Zhao's homeland, and the 3rd core detachment from Jingcheng is only less than five kilometers away from Zhao's homeland.

Then look at the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang bandit area,

has been trapped on the winding mountain road between Sangzhang and Zhaojiayuan.

Sakamoto Ryuichi pointed to the sand table and said: "If nothing else, the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang Bandit Area will definitely be blocked on the road between Sangzhang and Zhaojiayuan. ”

"At that time, the main force of the Eighth Route Army will return to the south or north,"

"They will all be attacked by the imperial army, and they will fall into a dilemma that is difficult to take care of."

"Therefore, the only choice for the main force of the Eighth Route Army is to abandon all the heavy equipment, break it into pieces, and break through separately in a company and platoon unit."

"At this time, you can send out cavalry and the remaining 4 fast detachments to encircle and suppress them."

"It is estimated that it is impossible to wipe out all the main forces of the scattered Eighth Route Army, but it should be no problem to eliminate most of them, and more importantly, the heavy equipment of the Eighth Route Army will be lost, and the combat effectiveness will be greatly weakened, and the threat to the various strongholds of the Imperial Army will be completely lost, and even small strongholds are enough to ensure safety."

"Yo Xi!" Yoshio Shinozuka nodded happily and said, "In this case, the public security environment in Shanxi will be greatly improved, and His Excellency the General's goodwill policy will have a basis for implementation." ”

……

In Wangjia Village, the war game deduction was completed soon.

The brigade commander said: "That is to say, each of them will go out to Chengjiazhen and Sangzhang in the direction of one section to block the devils from Jingcheng and Niangziguan, and then concentrate the main force and firepower to eliminate the devils from Shouyang?" ”

"Yes." Wang Ye said, "There are only more than 2,000 devils from Shouyang, and they should be able to gnaw." ”

The brigade commander turned his head and asked the chief of staff: "Chief of staff, you call and ask the artillery regiment, how many shells are left?" ”

"I already asked." The chief of staff said without thinking, "The artillery shells brought are enough, and there are more than 20 tons." ”

More than 20 tons of artillery shells, that is, 4,000 rounds, if they are all gone, it is enough to blow up the devils, and then the infantry will basically solve it with one rush.

With artillery firepower, fighting a war is so arrogant.

Of course, having said that, fighting devils has this effect only if they have an unstable foothold.

If the devils had built fortifications in advance, the effect of the shelling would have been greatly reduced.

The brigade commander asked Wang Ye again: "Xiao Wang, the devil has already suffered two losses in a row, so the devil who came from Shouyang will definitely learn a lesson, can the artillery still exert such great power?" ”

"Brigadier Commander, don't worry." Wang Ye said, "No problem. ”

"Our Wolf Warrior Squadron provides precise guidance to the artillery regiment,"

"Unless the devil builds anti-artillery fortifications in advance, he can't dodge."

"The only difference is to spend more time or fire a few more shells."

"It's fine." The brigade commander nodded, and said to the chief of staff, "Send a messenger to inform Cheng Shifa and ask him to lead the 772nd Regiment out of the Sangzhang direction......

"Brigadier Commander, Brigadier Commander!"

Before the brigade commander finished speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by Li Yunlong.

"Brigadier Commander, what are you doing here? Our Lao Li Ke is right in front of you, why do you have to go near and far to find Lao Cheng? What is wrong with our independent regiment than their 772nd regiment? ”

"What, you want to go to Sangzhang?"

The brigade commander said, "Okay, then you can go." ”

"Gah?" Li Yunlong was stunned when he heard this.

Oops, I didn't hear it clearly in a hurry just now.

I thought that the brigade commander was letting the 772 regiment fight the main attack.

It's too bad now, what's the point of going to Mulberry to block the attack?

At that moment, Li Yunlong turned his gaze to Wang Ye, pointing to Wang Ye to help him turn around.

Wang Ye spread his hands, Lao Tzu can't help it, who let you fight and rob blindly?

You grabbed it yourself, even if it's, you can only eat it with tears in your eyes, and take it for yourself.

The brigade commander said to the chief of staff again: "Transfer another battalion from the 772nd Regiment to the direction of Chengjiazhen, and tell Cheng Shifa that there is no need to fight head-on with the devils from the direction of Jingcheng, just delay their marching speed as much as possible." ”

"Yes!" The chief of staff agreed, turned around and arranged for the communications corps to convey the order to the 772nd regiment.

Seeing the chief of staff leave, the brigade commander threw the pencil in his hand on the map, laughed and said: "Hahaha, if we kill the devils from Shouyang again, Yoshio Shinozuka may have no choice but to shrink his forces and concentrate several rapid brigades distributed along the blockade ditch." ”

"Otherwise, we can pass the sports war,"

"In turn, eat the devils bite by bite, these fast brigades."

"By the way, more than 20 strongholds along the blockade ditch will also be pulled out one by one."

"Lao Tzu wants to see if the little devil will level our base first, or our mobile column will first beat the devil's Zhengtai Road blockade!"

"Brigade commander, then I'm leaving."

Li Yunlong was a little dazed and ready to leave.

"Wait." The brigade commander suddenly beckoned and said.

Li Yunlong suddenly perked up, the brigade commander has changed his mind?

The brigade commander turned his head to Wang Ye again and said, "Xiao Wang, in addition to the radio station, doesn't your wolf squadron also have a radio station?" Let Xiao Cheng lead a telecommunications team to follow the independent group. ”

After speaking, he said to Li Yunlong: "If you really can't stand it, you don't have to be reckless, report to me as soon as possible!" ”

"Brigade commander, speaking of the blocking battle." Li Yunlong snorted and said, "It's not our old Li Blow, it's really okay to have only three or four thousand devils, simply, you just modify the order, and directly order our independent regiment to defeat the devils who were locked up by the lady, then the things behind are not even simpler?" ”

"No, you kid don't mess around."

The brigade commander said: "The lady is not an ordinary devil. ”

"This gang of devils is armed with more than a dozen 150mm caliber heavy howitzers."

"Therefore, your independent regiment must choose favorable terrain and build fortifications in advance to avoid heavy casualties."

"The independent regiment is now a main regiment that is fully manned, if you kid brings back a remnant regiment, Lao Tzu will never spare you, do you hear?"

Speaking of this, the brigade commander whipped Li Yunlong on his chest.

Li Yunlong stepped forward violently and replied with a loud voice: "Yes!" ”

"Go ahead!" The brigade commander waved his hand and said, "Go back and ask you to drink!" ”

Li Yunlong had already walked to the door, and the brigade commander added: "Fenjiu! ”

Li Yunlong laughed and said, "Brigade commander, it's decided." ”

Soon after Li Yunlong left, Wang Ye returned to the battlefield of Zhaojiayuan again.

At this time, the local troops of the 3rd and 5th divisions were still cleaning up the battlefield.

The soldiers of the new 1st Regiment, the New 2nd Regiment and the 772nd Regiment were hurrying to eat.

The rice was hot little rice, which had just been cooked and brought by the men of the cooking class, as well as hot stewed donkey meat, which the soldiers chirped and ate deliciously.

Li Yunlong has a sentence that is actually not nonsense.

When did the Eighth Route Army improve its food? It's time to fight devils.

In normal times, the Eighth Route Army can only live a hard life and can't get any meat stars, but when there is a combat mission, the supply department will still try to get some delicious food to improve the food.

The Wolf Warrior Squadron didn't have a small stove to eat today, and followed everyone to eat a big pot of rice.

However, Wei Xilai still grabbed a piece of donkey chops with the most meat for Wang Ye.

"Captain, give." Seeing Wang Ye, Wei Xilai sent it over.

"You eat." Wang Ye gave Wei Xilai the donkey ribs in the enamel rice jar.

"No, I've already eaten just now, and I've eaten a lot." Wei Xi also touched his stomach as he spoke, meaning that I had already eaten a round belly, but a pair of eyes stared at the donkey ribs and licked his lips.

Obviously, Wei Xilai hasn't eaten enough, how can he eat enough of meat?

Half-sized, eating poor old man, Wei Xilai is the time to grow his body.

Wang Ye shook his head and smiled, and said, "This is an order, this donkey steak must be eaten." ”

"Oh." Wei Xilai stopped talking, lowered his head and concentrated on dealing with the donkey ribs.

Wang Ye was eating, and Ding Wei and Kong Jie also came over with their own enamel rice bowls.

There was not a piece of meat in the rice bowl of the two, but they scooped a lot of broth, and their mouths were full of oil.

Kong Jie asked Wang Ye while picking up rice in his mouth: "Xiao Wang, what did the brigade commander say?" Which way to hit next? ”

"Hit the devil who came from Shouyang first." Wang Ye said, "If you have the opportunity, you can dig the devil who came over from the well." ”

"And then?" Kong Jie said again, "After beating the devils who came from the well, and finally beating the devils who came from the lady?" After beating the devils who came over from the lady, will the 2nd Guards Division be finished? ”

"Captain Kong, what do you want?" Wang Ye shook his head and said, "How can there be such a good thing?" ”

Kong Jie said: "Why can't you have it? Just now we captured six more 75mm caliber field guns, and now the number of artillery cannons in the artillery regiment is getting more and more fighting, and the firepower is getting more and more fierce, and it will only become easier and easier to fight devils. ”

"Really?" Wang Ye asked rhetorically, "How many casualties did we suffer in the battle just now?" ”

Kong Jie's face immediately fell, and there were more than 1,000 casualties in the battle just now.

The three main regiments, more than 5,000 elites, dealt with less than a thousand devils and suffered more than 1,000 casualties.

This is still the devil has just been hit by two shells, and he has already been blown up, and if they had a normal confrontation, the casualties of their mobile column would probably be much greater.

"Human energy and energy are limited."

Wang Ye said: "When we are energetic, the casualties are so large. ”

"When you fight the devils coming from the direction of Shouyang, the casualties will only be greater."

"So, at most, after beating the devils from the direction of Jingcheng, we have already reached the limit, and then beating the devils from the direction of Niangziguan, it is really looking for death."

Kong Jie was silent, the truth is this.

But it's still a bit difficult to accept.

"Xiao Wang is not right." Ding Wei said, "The devil who was locked up by the lady should arrive first?" ”

Wang Ye shook his head: "The devil who came over from the lady has already gone to the direction of Sangzhang and will not come." ”

"What are the devils from the lady going to do in mulberry palms?" As soon as he was halfway through the conversation, Ding Wei suddenly said again, "I understand, Yoshio Shinozuka is afraid that we will run away, so let the devil who was locked up by the lady take a detour to the Sangzhang Bridge to block our way, I can only say, this old devil is really thinking too much, we don't plan to run at all?" ”

Kong Jie also said: "Yes, if our mobile column wants to break through, can the devil stop us?" Dream on. ”

Wang Ye said: "But it is really not easy to cover the hundreds of thousands of people in the base area to follow us to break through, and I don't know how many people can be highlighted in the end?" ”

Ding Wei said: "Anyway, I just do my best. ”
