Okamura Ninji stared at the map on the wall, his face gloomy.

I have to say that Fu Zuoyi's knife in the back caught him off guard.

The combat effectiveness and discipline of the Sui army were among the strongest in the Chinese army, and they fought with the Mongolian army many times, but they failed to hurt their vitality, but the Japanese army suffered several losses.

If the 26th Division could not return in time, the two important military towns of Baotou and Wuyuan would likely be taken by the Sui army.

"What do you think?"

Okamura Ninji looked at the deputy chief of staff on the side, Seizo Arisue, and asked.

"Your Excellency, General!" "In my opinion, this is probably the Chinese army's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain." ”

"Turning the tiger away from the mountain?" Okamura Ninji asked, "How?" ”

"If the 26th Division returns to Baotou and Wuyuan at this time, then the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Shanxi Province is likely to attack Datong again and cut off the Pingsui Railway." ”

Although the strength of the army stationed in Mongolia is no worse than the current First Army.

However, the area of Inner Mongolia is very large, and the troops stationed in Mongolia are relatively scattered, and Datong is relatively close and has the ability to support.

Okamura nodded when he heard this, this was the same as he thought.

If the 26th Division returned to Baotou and Wuyuan, it would definitely be able to repel Fu Zuoyi's Sui army.

But in this way, Datong's troops will be empty, and Li Yunlong's new regiment of the Eighth Route Army will take advantage of the weakness to attack Datong.

If the 26th Division is divided into two halves, half will be stationed in Datong, and the other half will go back to Baotou and Wuyuan.

It definitely won't work, because whether it is the Sui Army or the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army, it is not an existence to be messed with.

The result that they all want is likely to be lost, and I am afraid that Baotou and Wuyuan will be taken away, Datong will also be taken away, and the 26th Division will also end up with heavy losses.

"Then should the 26th Division come back for reinforcements?" Okamura Ninji thought quickly in his mind and asked in a deep voice.

"Your Excellency, General!" Yusei replied three times, "I don't think I should come back!" ”

"Oh?" Okamura Ninji asked, "Why?" ”

"And why." "Wuyuan and Baotou, the 26th Division can be recaptured at any time, but once Datong is recaptured by the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army, it can only be recaptured by the first division to the northwest of Shanxi, Datong is an important stronghold of the Pingsui Railway, I think at this time, Datong and the Pingsui Railway are more important to the Mongolian army." ”

"Yo Xi, just like I thought!" Okamura Ningji snorted coldly and said, "Isn't it Baotou and Wuyuan, just give Fu Zuoyi, and when the 26th Division is free, the Mongolian army can take it back at any time." ”

"Call back to the headquarters of the army stationed in Mongolia immediately."

"Order the 26th Division to continue to garrison Datong and pay more attention to the northwest direction of Jin, in case the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army raids Datong."

Although Okamura felt that the 26th Division was stationed in Datong at this time, it was very unlikely that the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army would raid Datong.

But Okamura Ningji, who has fought against Li Yunlong several times, knows that Li Yunlong is good at playing cards out of common sense.

Li Yunlong often attacks from unexpected times and places.

Although the 26th Division did not have the strength to defeat the Sui army, the strength of the Mongolian army and the recapture of Wuyuan and Baotou still had no problem.

"Hey!"

There are three end essences bowing their heads.

……

Northwest of Shanxi.

Big Lonely Town.

The new regimental headquarters.

Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Wang Dehou, Xing Zhiguo, and others were discussing the battle plan at the regiment headquarters.

The general battle plan has been discussed.

It was expected that if the Japanese 26th Division returned to help, it would definitely leave a part of its troops to defend Datong, and most of them would be the 11th Independent Infantry Wing.

Because this 11th Independent Infantry Wing fought against the 2nd Brigade of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region in Maying Mountain.

The 2nd Independent Brigade, which has been strengthened with equipment, is also on the defensive side, and its combat effectiveness is naturally not a few points stronger than that of the 11th Independent Infantry Wing.

In the battle of Maying Mountain, the 11th Independent Infantry Wing suffered a lot of losses, and it was not a fully formed infantry wing.

So.

The battle plans of Li Yunlong and others were to send an artillery battalion to shell Niangziguan Station and use the main force to attack Datong.

After the artillery battalion shelled the Niangziguan station, it retreated under the cover of cavalry.

Run away after pretending, Meizizi.

The firepower of the artillery battalion of the new regiment was stronger than that of an artillery wing of the Japanese army.

Therefore, there is no need for infantry to attack Niangzi Pass at all, and directly use mountain artillery to fire a base number of shells at Niangzi Pass, which can kill part of the devil puppet army and destroy the facilities at Niangzi Pass Station.

Niangziguan Station is an important transit station of the Zhengtai Railway, and it is also the throat of Shanxi and Hebei, which is heavily defended by devils.

In the future, when the Eighth Route Army first recovered Shanxi and attacked North China in an all-round way, it fought a vicious and tough battle with the Japanese army at Niangzi Pass, but that was all for later.

At this moment, a new group of telegraphs walked in with a telegram in their hands and saluted:

"Report, telegram from the 3rd Battle Squad of the Sword Squadron!"

"Telegraph me." Wang Dehou held the telegram in his hand and looked at it, and his brows furrowed slightly.

The third combat squad of the Sword Squadron was Wang Gensheng's squad, which was ordered to carry a radio station to Datong to monitor the movements of the 26th Division of the Japanese Army.

Regardless of whether the 26th Division left Datong or not, Wang Gensheng's squad would send a telegram to report to the regimental headquarters to ensure that the regimental headquarters could keep track of the whereabouts of the 26th Division at any time.

"Chief of Staff Wang, what's the situation?" Li Yunlong asked, "Did the 26th Division leave Datong, and how many troops were left to defend the city?" ”

"Commander." Wang Dehou reported, "The 26th Division did not leave Datong, and not a single soldier was transferred. ”

"Oh?" Li Yunlong raised his head with his eyes, his eyes narrowed slightly, "There is such a lively fight over there in Baotou, the 26th Division has not left Datong?" ”

Although the Japanese troops in Baotou and Wuyuan were empty, Fu Zuoyi's Sui army did not have such a strong offensive firepower as the new regiment.

So.

The Sui army wants to capture Baotou and Wuyuan, it is definitely not so fast, plus the reinforcements of nearby devils, it is normal for a battle to be fought for five or six days.

However, the main force of the 26th Division is not reinforced, and the 1st Brigade of the main cavalry of the Mongolian cavalry is in Taiyuan, so the devils will definitely not be able to hold Baotou and Wuyuan.

More than a year ago, the Sui army recovered Baotou and Wuyuan, and they were familiar with the road.

When Zhao Gang and Xing Zhiguo heard this, they also raised their heads in surprise, which was a bit unexpected for them.

They also thought that the 26th Division would most likely return to Baotou and Wuyuan.

Xing Zhiguo said: "It seems that in the eyes of Okamura Ningji, Datong is far more important than Baotou and Wuyuan. ”

"And one more point." Li Yunlong said, "It shows that the first division of the Japanese army still has a period of time to reach the northwest of Shanxi." ”

"Commander." Wang Dehou looked at Li Yunlong and asked, "Then are we still fighting Datong?" ”

Although it is a second-line division, this 26th division has some combat effectiveness.

And at present, the combat effectiveness of the new regiment is not a big problem to defeat this 26th division.

Like Li Yunlong, Wang Dehou was afraid that this attack on Datong would turn the whole of North China into a pot of porridge, and I am afraid that no one would know what the outcome of the war would be.

"It's not the same."

In just a few seconds, Li Yunlong quickly made a decision, and then said: "Let's fight the 37th Division." ”

Fight the 37th Division?

Everyone's expressions were slightly shocked.

"That's right!" Li Yunlong nodded, pointed to the map and said, "Let's send a part of the troops to attack Niangzi Pass first, and the main force will ambush the devils from Yangquan and Jingcheng County halfway." ”

In the previous battle plan, Li Yunlong wanted to blossom twice.

Datong and Niangzi want him.

However, the 26th Division has been in Datong, and it is impossible for the new regiment to come together to attack the 26th Division at this time.

Even if the 26th Division is severely damaged, the new regiment will definitely suffer a lot of losses, and when the first division arrives in the northwest of Shanxi, the situation of the new regiment may not be good.

The 26th Division unexpectedly stayed in Datong and did not leave, so Li Yunlong could only temporarily abandon his plan to attack Datong.

"Reinforcements?"

Everyone instantly understood Grand Master Li's thoughts.

Before, Li Yunlong just wanted to shell Niangzi Pass, and withdrew after hitting a base number of shells.

Now that the main force of the new regiment is not going to fight Datong, then it is completely possible to transfer the main force to the Zhengtai line and fight a beautiful ambush battle.

Wang Dehou said: "If the devil senses that our new regiment is attacking Niangzi Pass, I am afraid that he will not send reinforcements." ”

Since the defeat of the 10th Division, the reputation of the new regiment and Li Yunlong has become louder and louder.

As soon as Li Yunlong's telegrams were issued, the conscientious people throughout the country regarded Li Yunlong as a national hero who saved the Chinese nation.

The more the people like Li Yunlong, the more the corresponding devils are afraid of Li Yunlong.

How could the 37th Division be an opponent of the new regiment in the case of field operations?

If the 37th Division knew that it was the new regiment attacking Niangzi Pass, then the 37th Division would definitely not dare to send reinforcements, not only would it not dare to send reinforcements, but it would hide far away.

李云龙 says:

"It's simple."

"Let's let some of the recruits, with the veterans, use the devil's equipment to attack Niangzi Pass."

"Let the devil mistakenly think that it is an ordinary Eighth Route Army unit that attacked Niangzi Pass."

"Then the devil mobile brigade in Jingcheng County and Yangquan will definitely play with their lives to reinforce them, we only need to set up an ambush halfway ......"

Everyone nodded, it was a very simple tactic of encircling the point to send reinforcements, but Li Yunlong used some routines.

No strategy or tactic is the same, and it needs to be used rationally according to the situation, but everything remains the same.

Zhao Gang nodded and said: "This has another advantage, that is, it can accumulate actual combat experience for recruits." ”
