When Nan Shanxiu heard this, his face did not change, but he couldn't help but be slightly happy in his heart.

The fact that the battle plan made for almost two months in the night battle was approved by the commander was not too pleasant.

Because he was afraid that the battle plan would be leaked in advance, the entire battle plan was completed by Kusuyama Hideyoshi alone.

If the battle plan is denied and redone, I don't know how many nights it will take to make a battle plan.

During this time, Kusuyama Hideyoshi's life and rest were disrupted, and his whole face was a little haggard.

"But—" Yoshio Shinozuka frowned slightly.

"Your Excellency, Commander, but what?" Kusuyama Hideyoshi's heart that had just been put down was raised again.

"The Imperial Army of 4 divisions and regiments, the Imperial Allied Army of 2 divisions and 3 mixed brigades are too many." Yoshio Shinozuka put his hands behind his back and looked at the map: "We can only draw the strength of 1 division from Jinnan at most. ”

"During the last time the Eighth Route Army launched the Battle of the Hundred Regiments, the 37th Division was transferred from Jinnan to help."

"Pang Bingxun's troops in Jincheng and Linxian County, Yan Xishan's troops in Luliang Mountain, and Wei Lihuang's troops in Zhongtiao Mountain each attacked the imperial army from the defense area."

These troops did attack the Japanese army under the orders of Lao Chiang during the Battle of the Hundred Regiments, in order to cope with the offensive of the Eighth Route Army.

Among them, Wei Lihuang's Central Army was the most active, and Yan Xishan and Pang Bingxun were scheming, although they sent troops but were perfunctory.

There are still 200,000 Central Army in Zhongtiao Mountain, although the Central Army's combat effectiveness is not strong, but it needs troops to watch in case the Central Army in Zhongtiao Mountain does something.

At present, the Japanese army on the outskirts of Nakajo Mountain has the 33rd Division, the 36th Division, the 37th Division, and the 41st Division, and if one division is transferred, only three divisions remain.

3 divisions, the attack on Nakajo Mountain was insufficient, but the defense was sufficient.

Nanshan Hideyoshi's tone was gloomy: "Pang Bingxun, Yan Xishan, Wei Lihuang and Tubalu, all of them will be liquidated." ”

"Sooner or later." Yoshio Shinozuka lifted his glasses, and his tone was full of murderous intent: "As long as the most difficult Eight Roads are solved, the remaining few troops are not worth mentioning." ”

"But... Your Excellency the Commander. Kusuyama Hideyoshi said in a worried tone: "If only 2 divisions and 2 brigades participate in the sweep, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve the expected results." ”

"Moreover, the strength of the Eighth Road is now different from what it used to be."

"If the Eighth Route concentrates its forces and firepower to attack in the direction where the 14th or 18th brigades are located, I am afraid that these two brigades will not be able to withstand it."

Divide and attack, that is, attack from all directions and advance to the center point, and compress the encirclement little by little.

until the enemy is surrounded at a certain point, and then the strength and firepower advantage are concentrated to annihilate it.

As long as one of these directions is breached, the entire ironclad encirclement plan will be over, because the people of the Eighth Route Base Area and the Eighth Route Army will escape through this opening.

You don't even need to break through the siege in pieces, you just need to wait for the Japanese army to sweep and then return to the base area.

"The Eighth Route in the southeast bandit area of Jin Province does have the strength to defeat a brigade of the imperial army in a short period of time." Yoshio Shinozuka had to nod in acknowledgement.

The main thing is that the artillery firepower of the Eighth Route is very strong, which can be seen from the battles of Guanjiayuan and Dagouwan.

The Eighth Route has at least 3 75-mm mountain artillery at the wing level, that is, more than 100 75-mm mountain artillery.

Concentrate more than 100 mountain artillery pieces to shell in the direction of the 14th Brigade or the 18th Brigade, and tens of thousands of soldiers will flock in, and the strength of one brigade will definitely not be able to stop it.

If there are no more than 100 75-mm mountain artillery pieces on the Eighth Road, a brigade will definitely be able to block it, at least for two or three days, and then the main force of the Eighth Route will be eaten as soon as the armies of all roads come together.

But there are more than 100 75mm mountain guns on the eighth road, and even 105 howitzers.

It's all that damn mysterious person named Chen Feng, who actually gave more than 100 mountain artillery aids to the Eighth Road.

The entire First Army also had less than 200 mountain artillery.

Kusuyama Hideyoshi said: "At least one more wing of troops will be added to the direction of the attack of the 14th and 18th brigades. ”

"In this way, there are 15,000 people in each of these two directions, plus the Imperial Army, and the Eighth Route will definitely not be able to break through in a short period of time."

"Then there is only one way for the Eighth Road, break it into pieces and scatter and escape, and the imperial warriors we set up on the outer line only need to wait to harvest the heads of the Eighth Road."

Yoshio Shinozuka nodded: "I will apply for the addition of 2 wings from the front army to strengthen the 14th Brigade and the 18th Brigade." ”

"This time the base camp and the North China Front Command have given great support to our First Army."

"So when I applied for an increase in the strength of 2 wings, Commander Tada should not refuse."

"Hey!" Nanshan Hideyoshi said, "In this way, there are 50,000 imperial troops and 20,000 imperial troops participating in this sweep, with a total strength of more than 70,000. ”

At present, 15,000 men of the 2nd Guards Division, 15,000 men of the 37th Division, 7,000 troops each of the 14th Brigade and 18th Brigade have been determined, plus two additional wings.

The total number of troops is more than 50,000.

"The scale of this sweep is unprecedented, even if it can't solve the Eighth Route bandits, it will greatly hurt the vitality of the Eighth Route Army in the northeastern and northern road bandit areas of Jin, and wait until the summer to have another summer sweep, and the bandits can be completely solved."

Yoshio Shinozuka not only spoke confidently, but his eyes behind his round glasses narrowed and were full of murderous aura.

"That's exactly what I thought." Kusunayama Hideyoshi agreed.

Both of them know very well that if they want to solve all eight ways at once, it is simply a fantasy, and no matter how careful the plan is, there will be many fish that will slip through the net.

However, this time Kusuyama Hideyoshi's battle plan did not intend to annihilate the Eighth Road.

As long as more than half of the eight roads can be eliminated, the battle plan will be considered a complete success.

Yoshio Shinozuka looked at Hideyoshi Kusuyama: "The soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, the ammunition and materials can be in place first, and the movement of troops can also be carried out simultaneously, I can't wait." ”

"Hey!"

Kusuyama Hideyoshi bowed his head: "I will personally order the transfer of ammunition and materials in advance, and the transfer of troops is also carried out in secret, trying not to attract the attention of the enemy." ”

……

The devil's small actions want to cover up.

Everyone knows that the devil wants to take revenge on the Eighth Route Army in the southeast base area of Jin.

The 2nd Guards Division was transferred from Tokyo to Shanxi, and the 1st Division met ammunition and weapons for battle, which was aimed at the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army.

Therefore, when the devil's army increased the military column on the Nantongpu Railway, the devil's puppet army in various regions frequently changed guards.

Although there were few wars in various places, the forces on all sides smelled something unusual.

The headquarters of the Eighth Route Army learned from various channels about the small movements of the devils, and in a few days at the shortest and more than half a month at the longest, the Japanese puppet army would launch a sweep of the Eighth Route Army's base area in the southeast of Jin.

It was early in the morning.

Li Yunlong got up early and was running in the morning with the Sword Squadron.

After running less than two laps along Yang Village, the guard Huang Erhu came to report, and the head of the headquarters asked him to go to the headquarters immediately.

Li Yunlong hurriedly dealt with a few mouthfuls, took the guards, and then rode to the headquarters.

Half an hour later, Li Yunlong and Huang Erhu came to the courtyard of the headquarters.

"Phew!" Li Yunlong pulled the reins back, stopped the military horse, turned over and handed the reins of the military horse to Huang Erhu, and walked quickly towards the headquarters.

"Report!" Li Yunlong sorted out his military hat and buttons, and then shouted loudly, and his loud voice instantly entered the war room of the headquarters.

"Come in!" A moment later, the boss's angry voice came from inside.

Li Yunlong walked into the war room of the headquarters.

I saw that in the war room of the headquarters, the boss, the division commander, and the chief of staff were lying in front of the map to discuss.

The combat staff officers were also very busy, and the sound of the wireless telegraph in the communication room next door was endless.

Compared to the last time he came, it was obvious that there was a more tense atmosphere at the headquarters today.

The devils are going to start sweeping?

Li Yunlong thought in his heart, walked to the boss, chief of staff and division commander, and saluted: "Report to the chief, Li Yunlong is here to report!" ”

"Li Yunlong." The boss raised his head, "You're here?" ”

After a pause, the boss said again: "You should have guessed that the Japanese puppet army's sweep of our base area is about to begin, and we are doing a counter-sweep plan." ”

"Chief, what do you need me to do?"

Li Yunlong said: "I only need your order, even if I am asked to take off Yoshio Shinozuka's head, I will definitely not hesitate." ”

These words made the chief of staff and division commander on the side laugh.

Li Yunlong is still the same Li Yunlong, and this bragging problem has not changed.

The boss also smiled: "Yoshio Shinozuka's head, just put it on his neck for a few more days, I have another important task for you." ”

Li Yunlong was overjoyed when he heard this, but his expression was solemn, and he said again: "Chief, don't worry, if I can't complete the task, I, Li Yunlong, will personally screw off my head and kick you as a ball." ”

"Good boy!" The boss said, "I just like your energy, as for what the task is, let the chief of staff tell you." ”

Both Android and Apple are available. 】

Li Yunlong looked at the chief of staff, and the division commander pushed his glasses on the side, smiling without saying a word.

The chief of staff crossed his arms and said in a solemn tone: "According to intelligence, the Japanese puppet army has gathered at least 70,000 troops to carry out a spring sweep of our base area. ”

"At present, it is known that the Japanese troops participating in the sweep are, the 2nd Guards Division, the 14th Brigade, the 18th Brigade, the 37th Division, and about 20,000 puppet troops."

"The enemy is menacing, but the 129th Division of our Eighth Route Army is not a vegetarian, and the headquarters is ready to concentrate its forces to eliminate the Japanese puppet army sweeping troops in one direction of him."

What Li Yunlong thought in his heart was that the head of the headquarters probably wanted him to lead the new regiment to play the vanguard, after all, the new regiment was the trump card of the Eighth Route Army.

If you really want to fight such a battle, the new regiment will definitely be the protagonist, but Li Yunlong did not interrupt the chief of staff, but continued to listen to the chief of staff to assign him tasks.

"After research, the headquarters has made a prudent decision to prepare you to be the commander-in-chief of this campaign, commanding no less than 30,000 troops and eating the 37th Division of the Japanese Army."

"I'll command?" When Li Yunlong heard this, his eyes were about to fall, and he waved his hand again and again, "No, no, where does my 1 regiment commander have the ability to command a 30,000-strong army?" ”

The strength of a standard division in China is about 10,000, and 30,000 people is 3 divisions, that is, 1 standard army.

In Li Yunlong's military career, he commanded more than 10,000 people in a division at most, that is, the last Dagouwan Battle.

Although he had studied the theory of large-scale in-depth operations of a large corps, it was only a theory, and it was very difficult for him to command one army as soon as he came up without a transition.

Moreover, the enemy is still a Japanese army with strong combat effectiveness, and if the enemy is a national army unit of more than 10,000 people, it does not need 30,000 people at all, and the new regiment can clean up the other side.

"Can't do it? It's late. The division commander smiled happily: "You have already expressed your attitude, and twice." ”

The division commander slightly accentuated the words "Statement" and "Twice".

"This task has been taken, you kid won't want to regret it, right?" The boss looked solemn, and looked at Li Yunlong sternly.

Li Yunlong complained bitterly, he knew that it was this task, and he should have asked before expressing his position!

"Boss, division commander, chief of staff, you guys are working together to trap me." Li Yunlong said with a bitter face.

"Li Yunlong, what you said is not right, we didn't cheat you." The chief of staff said, "Who let you take the task yourself ahead of schedule?" ”

The three chiefs laughed at the same time, and the conference room at the headquarters was filled with a cheerful air.

Li Yunlong did not want to take on this task, mainly because the battles he commanded in the past were basically based on guerrilla warfare and movement warfare.

He was afraid that he would mess up, after all, he had never commanded so many troops to fight and such a big battle before.

But at the moment, I can only bite the bullet, who calls myself too positive?
