Air support?

Where does air support come from?

Everyone was about to ask clearly, but Zhao Gang had already walked in with Chu Yunfei.

Immediately, Li Yunlong introduced Chu Yunfei to several regiment leaders.

Several regiment commanders were not too surprised, and it was not a secret to them, the regiment commanders, who came to the 129th Division to study and observe.

Out of courtesy between friendly forces, both sides greeted each other.

After taking his seat, Chu Yunfei was also a little surprised in his heart, gathering five regiment commanders without a brigade commander's combat meeting...

What do you want to do?

You don't really want to fight the 9th Brigade of the Japanese Army, just rely on these five regiments?

It's too whimsical.

Li Yunlong shouted outside: "Huzi! ”

Huang Erhu ran in and gave a military salute: "Here!" ”

Li Yunlong said: "Go to the logistics production base, inform Lu Yingjun, and ask him to carry the prepared sand table to the regiment headquarters." ”

"Yes!" Huang Erhu turned around and walked out.

Not long after, Lu Yingjun and Wei Dayong walked in from the door carrying the small sand table they had made.

Making a sand table is a basic military skill necessary for special forces.

After the two of them carried the sand table in, they retreated again.

Li Yunlong said: "This is the sand table that the soldiers below are fooling around, everyone will take a look." ”

Everyone turned their attention to the sand table, and the Eighth Route Army held a combat meeting to simulate the sand table, although it was not common, but there were also it, so everyone was not surprised.

Because the sand table is more intuitive than the map, the real mountains and rivers are clear at a glance.

Then, Li Yunlong pointed to a bunch of small buildings and said: "Everyone, please see, this is the stronghold of Huting, the current location of the 9th Brigade and the main force. ”

"This is Hanjia Village, and this is Chenjiayu."

"According to the information, there will be a stream of devils passing by in each of these two places tomorrow."

"Chen Jiayu's group of devils is coming to the headquarters, and our new group will solve it."

"The preliminary information of this group of devils passing through Hanjia Village is a group of devil officials, and their intentions are unknown for the time being."

Li Yunlong is ready to send 3 battalions to this group of devils who came to Chenjiayu, not only to ensure the safety of the headquarters, but also to ensure the total annihilation of this group of devils.

Otherwise, it is not a big problem to take away a few devils, if at least half of the devils are gone, then it will not be called total annihilation.

At present, there are nearly 600 people in the 3rd Battalion, and the firepower is dozens of times stronger than the original 3rd Battalion, and most of the soldiers are veterans who have experienced a hundred battles.

With the 3rd Battalion set up a net in advance, even if it was the Yamamoto Special Forces, it would be impossible to escape the result of annihilation.

"Lao Li, what do you mean?"

Ding Wei stared at the sand table and said thoughtfully: "Give the 9th Brigade of the Japanese Army a reinforcement?" ”

Encirclement and reinforcement is the classic tactic of the Eighth Route Army, and the tactics of the Eighth Route Army have been tried and tested repeatedly, because once a devil is attacked, other devil troops will never be killed.

"Lao Ding is right!"

"Our Lao Li has never underestimated the devil."

Li Yunlong usually looks very aggressive, but in fact, he is thick and fine.

The equipment of the new regiment is much better than that of the other Eighth Route troops, and the firepower is also very strong, and the morale of the troops is strong because of the many victories in successive battles, the commendation of the heroic regiment, and Li Yunlong's own personality charm.

The new second regiment and the independent regiment are already the main regiments, which can achieve that each person has a gun, relatively sufficient ammunition, and there is also a mountain artillery company.

The brigade artillery regiment and the divisional artillery regiment are each equipped with about 20 American-style mountain guns and more than a dozen mortars.

But the devil is not bad either.

As the elite of the First Army of the Japanese Army, the 9th Brigade is the trump card in the hands of Yoshio Shinozuka, and its combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

In terms of equipment, the devil's crooked light machine gun is equipped with a squad, and the number of grenadiers and mortars is not a small number, and the devil's grenadier canister is known for being tricky and ruthless.

The quality of the devil's artillery is extremely good, and the marksmanship of the devil's elite infantry is almost a gun within 300 meters.

If these five regiments put on a posture, they will work face to face with these 6000 devils.

Even if the 9th Brigade was defeated with air support and powerful artillery, it would have been a crushing victory.

6,000 devils, with the devil's character of dying with the enemy, the price to be paid by the Eighth Route Army is probably very great.

The most important thing is that it cannot be completely annihilated in a frontal battle.

Li Yunlong continued: "I want to use the big fish of Hanjia Village to lure out the 9th Brigade, and we will eat the 9th Brigade halfway." ”

Kong Jie glanced at Chu Yunfei without a trace, and his tone was excited:

"Devil ambush?"

"This is our Eighth Route Army's forte."

As an old comrade-in-arms, Kong Jie did not ask whether there was a suitable terrain suitable for ambushing more than 6,000 devils from the Huting stronghold to Hanjia Village.

Seeing Li Yunlong's confident expression, Kong Jie knew that this product must have calculated everything.

Chu Yunfei's face showed curiosity.

Although he was born in the fifth phase of Whampoa, in terms of strategy and tactics, the National Army and the Eighth Route Army are not the same way.

The generals of the national army are keen on positional warfare, like to arrange troops, and when the devils come to attack, they will lay out their troops, and they rarely leave reserves.

This led to a breakthrough of the devils, and there were many cases of the national army's position being shaken on the whole front.

The Eighth Route Army, on the other hand, often avoided the enemy's edge and launched a fatal blow at a place and time that the devil did not expect.

This time I came to the Eighth Route Army to observe, and Chu Yunfei also came with a mission.

Li Yunlong pointed his finger in the direction of Dagou Bay, and continued: "God help us Lao Li Ye, between the Huting stronghold and Hanjia Village, there is a terrain suitable for ambushing a large number of enemies, Da Wangou, there are canyons on both sides, and the road passes through the canyon, so we will ambush on the canyons on both sides of the road. ”

Sun Tzu's Art of War was brilliantly stated thousands of years ago that terrain is very important in warfare and can play a leading role.

Most of the places in the southeast of Shanxi are mountainous, and there are not a few terrains like Dagou Bay.

"There are five bends in the terrain here, a total of 5 miles long, and when the devil army enters the canyon, let's tie the gaps on both sides."

"The next thing is to close the door and beat the dog."

"It is worth noting that the commanding heights and hills of each bend must be heavily guarded, and the devils must not be allowed to seize them."

"After the battle starts, don't rush down to the white-knuckle battle, use grenades, machine guns, and artillery to give the devil the maximum damage."

"If we go to the white-knuckle battle too early, six thousand devils, even if they can be eaten, then they will have to break their mouths full of teeth, and if this battle is fought, several of our infantry regiments will be disabled."

Grand Master Li's tone was awe-inspiring:

"The terrain advantage is great, the strength advantage is great, the firepower advantage is great, and the devil is attacked by surprise, Lao Tzu likes to fight this kind of battle the most."

Chu Yunfei probably understood Li Yunlong's path.

To put it simply, there are no conditions for the total annihilation of the 9th Brigade of the Japanese Army, so create conditions.

Geographical advantages, surprises.

The right time and place are not bad.

When the time comes, it is to attack when the enemy is not expecting.

The geographical advantage is the terrain advantage, ambush in the canyon, tie up the opening, and harvest the enemy with firepower.

Harmony is to unite as one, unite as one, and everyone has the heart of death.

Now Chu Yunfei finally knew that Li Yunlong, a mud leg who had never entered a military academy, why he could lead his troops to win battles repeatedly, Li Yunlong was indeed a little superior in tactics, as for how many, it was hard to say.

If you can really eat the 9th Brigade of the Japanese Army this time.

Chu is not worth the trip.

The next time is the details of Grand Master Li's deployment

For example, the artillery positions of the divisional artillery regiment, the artillery positions of the brigade artillery regiments, and the positions of the artillery of the three infantry regiments combined.

How many troops and firepower can be deployed on which hill to deploy, and how can the firepower form an intersection and give full play to the maximum effectiveness.

How many reserves were left in each regiment.

A total of three sets of emergency preparedness have been formulated, how to remedy emergencies and so on.

This was an opportunity given to Li Yunlong by heaven, and in his previous military career, he had only commanded one infantry regiment and two artillery regiments to fight.

Now it's different, being able to command tens of thousands of people to fight, this is already another level, this is called a large corps operation.

Although it was the first time to command so many people to fight, Li Yunlong seemed to be at ease.

He took into account all the questions that the regiment commander could think of, and answered them one by one, which was clear and convincing.

This will continue until dark, when the leaders disperse.

After the regimental commanders returned, they held a combat meeting.

Li Yunlong also summoned the commanders of all battalions and regiments directly under the new regiment to the regiment headquarters to deploy combat orders.

The task of the third battalion is to lay a net in Chenjiayu and wipe out all the devils who came to attack the headquarters.

The task of the first battalion, one company, and the sword squadron is to ambush this net of devils and big fish in Hanjia Village.

The group of devils surrounding Hanjia Village will not be wiped out for the time being, but they will put a lot of pressure on the devils and let the devils call for support.

All the commanders and fighters of the rest of the new regiment participated in the battle of Dawangou.

Early the next morning, Xu Yonghai, commander of the third battalion, took the commanders and fighters of the third battalion to Chenjiayu to take over the defense of the special service regiment.

The rest of the battalions and companies of the new regiment began to distribute dry rations and ammunition, and the soldiers slept during the day to recuperate.

After dark, the new 1st Regiment, the 2nd New Regiment, the Independent Regiment, the Divisional Artillery Regiment, and the Brigade Artillery Regiment marched in batches in the direction of Dawangou.

The straight-line distance between Dawangou and Yangcun is about 20 kilometers, but the mountain road has to be 30 kilometers.

After walking for five or six hours, the three infantry regiments were the first to reach Dawangou.

Li Yunlong ordered the guard company to set up a headquarters 800 meters away from Dawangou.

Headquarters.

Kong Jie walked in quickly and asked, "Lao Li, why don't you let the troops enter the ambush position overnight?" ”

Behind Kong Jie, Ding Wei also walked in.

The two of them had just received a notice from Li Yunlong to let the troops rest in place first.

In Li Yunlong's headquarters, Chu Yunfei and Sun Ming were also present.

"Let the troops rest first." Li Yunlong said, "There is no hurry to enter the ambush position. ”

Hearing that Li Yunlong was reluctant to say the reason, Kong Jie didn't want to ask too much, and according to his idea, he took advantage of the night to enter the ambush position, which was both hidden and safe.

Ding Wei and Chu Yunfei were thoughtful.

In the second half of the night, the direction of Dawangou suddenly became lively, and hundreds of devils who came out of the Huting stronghold took flashlights and shone on the canyons on both sides of Dawangou to search for something.

More than 100 flashlights dangled in the dark night.

"Holy shit, it's good that I didn't enter the ambush position in advance." Uncle Kong was shocked into a cold sweat.
