Chapter 432: Battle Plan
"Where's the brigade commander?"
Li Yunlong said: "Is the brigade commander coming?" β
If the brigade commander also comes, then there really will be nothing to do with them.
If the brigade commander doesn't come, Li Yunlong will still have a chance to compete with Ding Wei for command.
"You ask the brigade commander?" Wang Ye whetted Li Yunlong's appetite before he said with a smile, "The brigade commander said that he would not come, but he made it clear that he didn't care how the battle was fought, but he was only allowed to win and not lose." β
"No problem, no problem." Li Yunlong smiled so hard that his mouth reached the root of his ears.
"Lao Ding, you see that this kid is happy." Kong Jie teased, "It's as if Taiyuan has been defeated." β
"Lao Li, don't be too happy too early." Ding Wei said, "I still say the same thing, we have something to say first, and I have to command the fight against Taiyuan this time." β
"No, it can't count."
Li Yunlong said categorically: "Draw lots to decide." β
Ding Wei said angrily: "Fuck, aren't you a scoundrel on a dog day?" β
"I'm going to be a scoundrel." Li Yunlong said, "Either draw lots, or each will fight its own." β
Ding Wei was half angry, but he felt that even if he drew lots, there was a one-in-one chance, and not all good things would fall on Li Yunlong's head.
At that moment, Ding Wei said: "Okay, then draw lots." β
"Wait." At this time, Kong Jie said, "I'll write this lottery." β
The last time he was played by Ding Wei in drawing lots, Kong Jie really remembers it vividly, and this time he can't repeat the mistakes of the past.
As he spoke, Kong Jie took out his notebook, tore off three slips of paper first, and wrote serial numbers on the paper.
Finally, the note was crumpled into a ball, and Kong Jie said: "Lao Li, and Lao Ding, you all saw it just now, and each of these three pieces of lot paper has a serial number written on it. β
Li Yunlong and Ding Wei nodded at the same time.
Kong Jie said again: "If you catch the first serial number, the command will belong to him this time, and if you catch the second serial number, the command of the next active attack will belong to him, you have no objection, right?" β
"Nope." Li Yunlong said, "You hurry up." β
Kong Jie grabbed a large bowl and held the three paper balls.
After slamming the bowl on the table a few times, Kong Jie said again, "Who will come first?" β
"I'll go first, I'll go first." Li Yunlong couldn't help but say, so he turned over the big bowl and grabbed a piece of lot.
But when he opened it, Li Yunlong's face collapsed, and he saw a "three" written on the lotlot paper.
"!" Li Yunlong cursed, I have the heart to hit the wall with my head, not only is the command of this fight against Taiyuan gone, but the command of the next time is also gone.
But it was he who proposed to draw lots just now.
If you regret it again this time, it will be too ugly.
Kong Jie asked Ding Wei again: "Old Ding, are you coming or am I coming?" β
"I'll do it." Seeing that Li Yunlong had caught a three, Ding Wei's confidence suddenly increased.
I grabbed the lot paper from under the big bowl and unfolded it again, and saw that there was a "one" written on it. β
"Hahaha, it's one, I'm one!" Ding Wei laughed, and said to Li Yunlong, "Lao Li, it should be yours, you can't do it if you want to, it shouldn't be yours, even if you rob him alive, you can't take it away."
"." Li Yunlong could only roll his eyes hatefully.
This wave of losses, what the hell are the five divisions!
Cheap old ding, this shit.
β¦β¦
Taiyuan, Headquarters of the First Army.
Takuya Mizuhara strode into Iwamatsu Yoshio's office, snapped his leg and then paused, "Your Excellency Commander." β
"Oh, Suwon-kun, you're here." Iwamatsu Yoshio's gaze was still fixed on the map in front of him, and he didn't look up and asked, "Has the message for Yan Xishan been sent?" β
"Hello." Takuya Mizuhara said, "It's been sent out." β
After a pause, Takuya Mizuhara said again: "If nothing else, Yan Xishan should have received it." β
"Yo Si." Iwamatsu Yoshio nodded happily, and then said, "Yan Xishan is too cunning, he promised to negotiate peace with us and even claimed that he was willing to break away from the Chongqing government, but it was just to delay time. β
"Yes." Suyuan Takuya said, "Even the defection of Zhao Rui, Yang Cheng, and Cai Xiongfei was actually an order given to them by Yan Xishan, and the purpose was nothing more than to raise troops under the pretense of the imperial army. β
Cai Xiongfei, Yang Cheng and Zhao Rui were all senior generals of the Jin Sui Army.
But now, the three of them are the commander-in-chief, army commander, or division commander of the puppet army.
"Yes, Yan Xishan's cunning and cunning." "But it doesn't matter, as long as the imperial army can win the final victory, then Cai Xiongfei, Yang Cheng and Zhao Rui will be truly loyal to the empire and the imperial army, and will not be loyal to him Yan Xishan, a lost dog."
"Yes." Takuya Mizuhara nodded and said.
"Yan Xishan has always been known for being calculating, claiming to be able to dance on three eggs, but I thought he was calculating and calculating, and in the end he could only lose all his old bottoms."
"This kind of two-sided speculation is destined to be abandoned by the times."
Iwamatsu Yoshio laughed and asked again, "Mizuhara-kun, then do you think Yan Xishan will cooperate with us this time?" β
"Of course." Takuya Mizuhara said, "Yan Xishan actually wants to exterminate the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi more than the imperial army, so I dare to assert that he will definitely cooperate!" β
"Yo Si."
β¦β¦
Qiulin Town, Headquarters of the Second World War Zone Governor.
Director of Intelligence Yang Zhenji hurriedly walked into Yan Xishan's office and whispered, "General seat, Director Liang has a secret message." β
"Wait." Yan Xishan instantly became alert when he heard this, and motioned to adjutant Zhang Riming to guard outside the door, and then said to Yang Zhenji, "Director Yang, you can say it." β
The secret collusion between the Jin Sui army and the Japanese army was unknown to even Chang Kaishen in Chongqing.
Therefore, when it comes to this matter, it is necessary to dismiss all irrelevant people, and the adjutant is no exception.
Yang Zhenji replied, and said: "General, Director Liang has just provided a piece of top-secret information, the Japanese First Army in Shanxi has decided to mobilize the 36th, 37th and 69th divisions to launch an ironclad large-scale sweep against the Taihang bandit area of the Eighth Route Army, and Yang Cheng's Third Division of the Imperial Association and Zhao Rui's Fifth Division of the Imperial Association will also participate in this sweep. β
"It's a good thing, it's a great thing." Yan Xishan suddenly perked up, "It should have been swept up a long time ago." β
Sometimes it's so ironic, as a Chinese, Yan Xishan actually hates the Eighth Route Army more than the devil.
Yang Zhenji hummed lightly, and said: "Boss, there is such a matter, the Japanese army also pretended to send a message to Director Liang, hoping that we can cooperate." β
"Cooperation?" Yan Xishan asked, "How to cooperate?" β
Yang Zhenji said in a low voice: "First, I hope that the headquarters can give Yang Cheng and Zhao Rui a secret order, so that their two divisions can go all out to cooperate with the Japanese army to sweep away the Taihang bandits, and second, I hope that the headquarters can give an order to the only brigade to drag Li Yunlong and other troops in the northwest of Jin as much as possible when the imperial army is sweeping the Taihang bandit area of the Eighth Route Army." β
Yan Xishan frowned and said: "It's no problem for Yang Cheng and Zhao Rui to cooperate, but Chu Yunfei is probably not easy to do, this kid is a protΓ©gΓ© of the old man, and he is disobedient." β
Yang Zhenji rolled his eyes and whispered: "Boss, there is a way to be humble. β
"Oh? What's the idea? Yan Xishan's expression moved, and he said urgently, "You say it quickly." β
Yang Zhenji whispered: "The head seat can make a notice and let Chu Yunfei come to the chief minister's department for a meeting, as long as Chu Yunfei is not there, will Fang Ligong still dare to disobey the order of the head seat?" β
"Hey, that's a good idea." Yanxi Mountain Road.
"Well, that's it."
β¦β¦
Qinglong Mountain, Tianda Gang.
"Brigade seat, the Chief's Department has just issued a notice."
Zhu Jiaju walked quickly into the war room of the brigade headquarters with a telegram.
Since the day he took office, Liang Gang has not had his own office, and all military affairs and government affairs in Qinglongshan District are all handled in the war room.
"Notification?" Liang Gang snorted, "What does Yan Laoxi want to do?" β
Zhu Jiaju smiled and said: "It is said that there is a very important meeting, I hope you can go to the Chief's Department to attend, by the way, Brigadier Chu Yunfei is said to be there as well." β
"To a meeting at the Chief's Office?" This is a bit unexpected by Liang Gang.
"There's no big war, why did you suddenly think that I and Chu Yunfei went to the chief's department for a meeting?"
"Chief Yan's thoughts, who can guess?" Zhu Jiaju spread his hands and said abruptly, "This is a god who can dance on three eggs, how can we ordinary people guess his thoughts?" β
Liang Gang said: "I was probably stimulated by the performance of the Japanese army in the Southeast Asian battlefield. β
"It's entirely possible." Zhu Jiaju said, "To be honest, the performance of the Japanese army in the Southeast Asian battlefield is really amazing, and I can't believe it's true." β
"Okay, then I'll take a trip to Qiulin Town."
Liang Gang smiled and said, "By the way, get back the arrears of military salaries from the Commander's Department." β
"Yes, yes, the brethren have not been paid for another three months." Zhu Jiaju said with a smile, "That is, there is a brigade seat where you are here, if it were someone else, the brothers would have mutinied a long time ago." β
"Be careful." Liang Gang said, "You have to take care of your home when I'm away." β
After a pause, he admonished: "Especially don't clash with the Eighth Route Army." β
"Yes, don't worry." Zhu Jiaju said solemnly, "I know it in my heart. β
Liang Gang nodded, and shouted outside the door again: "Liang Jun, bring the guard platoon and follow me." β
β¦β¦
Chu Yunfei also had the same worries, and before leaving, he told Fang Ligong: "Brother meritorious service, I always feel that it is not easy for the old commander to summon us division commanders and brigade commanders back to the commander's headquarters for a meeting this time. β
Fang Ligong asked, "Luza, what are you worried about?" β
"I can't tell." Chu Yunfei shook his head and said, "In short, when I am not there, you must be careful in everything, especially not to clash with the Eighth Route Army." β
"Yes." Fang Ligong agreed.
"The humble duty must keep in mind the advice of the brigade."
"And just in case, I mean in case ......" While Chu Yunfei was speaking, Liu Shiyin, a war correspondent dispatched by the Central News Agency to the northwest of Shanxi, had already smiled and groaned.
Chu Yunfei's eyes fell on Liu Shiyin, and he couldn't pull it out anymore.
Because Liu Shiyin wore a white fox fur, Liu Shiyin's pink skin was more and more blown, and the waist design also outlined her long and graceful figure more and more vividly.
Even a steel man like Chu Yunfei couldn't help but feel excited.
Originally, Chu Yunfei wanted to tell Fang Ligong, in case the independent regiment had any combat operations that caused the base area to be empty, their only brigade could make some moves and seize one or two pieces of territory, but it was absolutely impossible to have a large-scale armed conflict with the independent regiment, but when Liu Shiyin interrupted it like this, Chu Yunfei forgot to say it.
Fang Ligong asked, "What else does the brigade have to order?" β
"No, in short, meritorious brother, you should be careful in everything."
After Chu Yunfei finished speaking, he raised his right elbow slightly.
Liu Shiyin smiled and grabbed Chu Yunfei's elbow.
β¦β¦
Fuliang Mountain Fortress, Ding Wei and Kong Jie have already gone back.
Wang Ye began to formulate battle plans day and night.
Although the commander-in-chief of the Taiyuan Campaign fell on Ding Wei's head, Wang Ye, the chief of staff, could not escape, and he was still responsible for formulating the battle plan.
Drawing up a battle plan is undoubtedly a complicated and complicated task.
One principle is that the simpler the combat order, the better, but the more detailed the battle plan, the better.
What do you mean? That is, the operational orders issued to the front-line combat units must be as simple as possible, so as to avoid misinformation in the process of transmitting orders, or misunderstandings of front-line commanders.
However, the battle plan must be as detailed as possible, and proper arrangements must be made for the departure time, arrival time, marching route, and food and grass supply for each participating unit.
Otherwise, if there is a mistake in the middle, the soldiers will run away more unjustly or go hungry, or at worst, the fighters will be delayed and the fighters will be defeated, and this will be a major dereliction of duty as a combat staff officer.
Therefore, Wang Ye's workload is extremely large, he has to make plans for the 21 main battalions of the independent regiment, the new 1st regiment and the new 2nd regiment, as well as the direct teams of the three regiments, as well as the 12 regiments of the Taiyue Military Region, and he also has to ensure that all the troops participating in the battle can reach Taiyuan within the time limit.
It is also necessary to ensure that nearly 50,000 people are fed.
It is also necessary to do a good job in the transfer of materials and equipment in advance.
The workload is not ordinarily large, but fortunately, the time is enough, because the devils will not launch a sweeping operation against the Taihang Military Region so quickly, and their Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Jin and the Taiyue Military Region is a late strike, so the time is still very abundant.
Of course, until a detailed operational plan is developed, there is one thing that remains the same, and that is reconnaissance.
Therefore, as soon as he decided to attack Taiyuan, Wang Ye sent the Wolf Warrior Squadron, the Sky Wolf Squadron, the Violent Wolf Squadron, and the Wild Wolf Squadron of the 772nd Regiment to carry out enemy reconnaissance.
In the era of cold weapons, the army has not moved, and the grain and grass go first, but in the time of hot weapons, it is the army that has not moved, and intelligence comes first, and the importance of intelligence work has surpassed logistics.
β¦β¦
When Wang Ye was busy making combat plans and the special forces were busy carrying out reconnaissance,
However, the battle plan of the Japanese First Army stationed in Shanxi had already been drawn up and distributed to all divisions, and the 69th Division had also received orders from the headquarters.
By the way, the division commander of the 69th Division, Sadae Inoue, has also arrived.
Inoue did not understand the situation at the front line, and thought that he would be able to control the situation as a matter of course after he took office, so on the first day of his appointment, he issued an order: move the division headquarters from Ping'an County to Anhua.
However, before the order left the division headquarters, it was rejected by the chief of staff Ryuichi Sakamoto on the grounds that "you don't understand the actual situation, division commander."
Inoue was stunned.
What's going on? How dare you, the chief of staff, contradict the orders of the commander of my division? Are you trying to rebel?
You must know that this is not the time for the Wicker Lake incident, and the young staff officers at that time took it as their responsibility to "take the next step", and His Majesty the Emperor also supported the young staff officers in doing so.
Because His Majesty the Emperor was very dissatisfied with the high-ranking generals of the army.
But now the situation is different, and now it is the group of young staff officers who occupy the high positions back then, and to be more precise, the Showa warlords headed by Okamura Ninji.
With the coming to power of Showa warlords such as Okamura Ninji, Hirohito has long since stopped supporting the young staff officer Shikashang, so there is no soil for Shikatsumi in the army.
Inoue Sadawei immediately sent a telegram to the commander of the First Army, asking for a change in chief of staff.
According to the usual practice in the army, the headquarters of the First Army would definitely give face to the newly appointed division commander, but the reality gave Inoue Sadawei a slap in the face.
The command of the First Army went so far as to reject Inoue's request.
The headquarters of the First Army even said that Ryuichi Sakamoto was a very good chief of staff and was also familiar with the situation in the northwest of Jin, so he asked Inoue Sadawei to listen to Sakamoto Ryuichi's opinion.
It was only at this time that Inoue realized that he had been overshadowed by Chief of Staff Ryuichi Sakamoto.
At this time, Inoue Sadawei had only two choices, and fought back strongly to bring the lawsuit to the North China Front Headquarters, the Army Headquarters, and even the Imperial Front, demanding the removal of Ryuichi Sakamoto.
The problem is that even if he wins the lawsuit, his prestige will be ruined.
Another option is to be a puppet with peace of mind and let Ryuichi Sakamoto toss.
As long as Takashi Sakamoto accidentally makes a mistake, his prestige will be immediately discredited, and he will be able to take the opportunity to regain command.
In the end, Inoue Sadawei chose the latter, waited for Sakamoto Ryuichi to make a mistake, and then settled the new accounts and old accounts together, so now Inoue Sadawei basically doesn't care much about the affairs of the division.
So the head of the communications section, Mei Igarashi, also directly handed over the order to Ryuichi Sakamoto.
After receiving the order from the headquarters, Ryuichi Sakamoto immediately called Pan Ren over.
"Pansang." Ryuichi Sakamoto said, "Our 69th Division has just received an order from the headquarters to rush to the designated place within three days, so the 69th Division will leave Ping'an County tomorrow at the latest." β
"Taijun Sakamoto, are you worried about the safety of Ping'an County?" Pan Ren said with a flattering face.
"Please rest assured that Taijun Sakamoto will not be able to do anything as long as the Seventh Division of our Imperial Association is here, Ping'an County will definitely be fine."
"No, I'm not worried about the safety of Ping'an County at all, because there will be a third brigade to take over our security work in the entire northwest of Shanxi." Sakamoto Takuichi shook his head, and then said, "I'm worried about the safety of Taiyuan." β
"Taiyuan?" Pan Ren prides himself on being smart, but at the moment he also feels a little unable to keep up with Ryuichi Sakamoto's thinking.
The 7th Division of our Imperial Association is responsible for the garrison task in the northwest of Shanxi, and Taiyuan is not our defense area?
PS: Normal updates will resume from tomorrow.
