According to this scale, the devils in the Zhangzhuang stronghold plus the surviving reinforcements of the army last night may barely be able to form a wing, and now even tanks and armored vehicles have been driven out, almost all of them are dispatched.

It seems that the little devil was beaten in a hurry last night.

In the face of such a strong enemy, Xie Tian actually showed a smile on his face, and he patted Wu Wenhua's arm: "It seems that our cannons were blown up yesterday to hit a big fish, you go and settle those monks, I will go down to the tunnel first and study it carefully, maybe we have to adjust our tactics." ”

The battlefield situation is changing rapidly, and it is necessary for commanders to adjust their tactical responses on the spot, which is a great test of commanders' ability to respond to changes on the spot.

Acting separately from Wu Wenhua, this place is not far from the Silk Village, Xie Tian simply walked a few steps back to the Silk Village before going down the tunnel.

He knew that the tunnel was already crowded with people now, and although it was safe to walk through the tunnel, it was also troublesome, and he had to deal with some mother-in-law affairs, and now he didn't have the energy to care about these things.

Xie Tian had just walked into the Silk Village on the front foot, and the vanguard armored force composed of three Type 89 tanks and two Type 94 bean fighting vehicles had already appeared in the field of vision.

Seeing Xie Tian return to the underground headquarters, Tang Hao'er breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly stepped forward to help: "How is the situation outside?" Are you okay? ”

In front of Tang Hao'er, Xie Tian didn't pretend, he raised his arm and put his arm on Tang Hao'er's shoulder and limped towards the sand table: "It's okay, the devil has arrived, it should be chased directly along the rut print, there are armored troops." Hehe, don't worry, the armored forces are useless in tunnel warfare, it is better than a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron. ”

It is also said that the armored forces are most suitable for group charges and storms, and they are really helpless against the tunnels, but it will not be as easy to deal with as Xie Tian said.

Seeing Xie Tian limping in, Tie Dan hurriedly came over to help, and the two of them helped him to sit down in front of the sand table under Xie Tian's signal, Tang Hao'er reached out and touched Xie Tian's forehead, and said angrily: "I have a fever again." ”

Xie Tian smiled: "Just take some medicine." ”

Tang Hao'er turned around to get the medicine, and Xie Tian stood up with the sand table.

With the captured military map of the Jin Sui Army, the sand table has been rearranged according to the map, and the current sand table is the mountain and river landform map of the entire northwest region of Jin, and the tunnel map of Dagu Town only occupies a small corner in the sand table.

Of course, we must also do what we can, at least have a more intuitive understanding of the strategic situation of all parties, so that we can easily adjust our strategies and tactics.

On the sand table, the Japanese plaster flag made by Tang Haoer, the blue sky and white sun flag of the national army and the red flag of the Eighth Road are planted in various strategic places, and only the lone side of the PLA military flag is planted in Dagu Town, which looks pitiful on the entire sand table.

Xie Tian picked up a military flag and leaned over to plant it in Wangmapo's position, which was where his first battalion was now, very close to Li Yunlong's third battalion of the Independent Regiment, only a few hills apart, and was very suspicious of causing friction.

This is also a way to do no way, when Xie Tian's team pulled up, the Kuomintang, the Communist Party and Japan had already demarcated this area of influence, Dagu Town was originally in the intersection of the three forces, it was Xie Tian who squeezed out such a place, and now that the team has grown, it needs more strategic space, no matter which direction it develops, it will definitely touch the sphere of influence of one side.

And Wangmapo is the closest and most ideal area to Dagu Town, Li Yunlong is not happy, let him go if he is unhappy, didn't he also plant the battle flag in Heiyun Village, that is the base camp that Xie Baoqing has been operating for several years.

You planted a flag for me, and I gave you a flag for you.

Tang Hao'er came back with a bowl of water with the pills, the water was warm, and Tang Hao'er was very careful.

"Take your medicine first."

Xie Tian hummed, took the pill and stuffed it into his mouth without looking at it, drank all the water in the bowl in one go, and handed the empty bowl to Tang Hao'er.

Tang Hao'er said: "The soldiers caught some fish for you and came back, I cooked fish soup for you, and you can drink some while it's hot later." ”

Xie Tian frowned slightly and didn't say anything.

At this time of the season, he went to catch fish for him, he didn't want this privilege, but he couldn't chill the hearts of Tang Hao'er and the soldiers.

But it's all a small thing, and it's not worth distracting yourself from it.

At this moment, a violent explosion was heard outside, and the headquarters shook with it, and a lot of dirt fell on the top.

Xie Tian glanced up at the vault and laughed, and asked Wu Wenhua, who had just slipped in along the tunnel, "Have all those monks been settled?" ”

"It's settled, in the tunnels in the south of the town, there are a lot of them, and all of them have gone to the tunnels."

Xie Tian breathed a sigh of relief and ordered: "When the devil's artillery fire stops, arrange for the soldiers to go to the observation post, and report to me at any time if there is any situation." ”

Wu Wenhua nodded, walked to the opposite side of the sand table, looked at Xie Tian and asked, "Regiment leader, how are you going to fight this battle?" ”

Now there is only one battalion of troops left in Dagu Town, which is five or six hundred people when it is full, but the devil has a wing of troops, which must be three thousand six hundred, not to mention that there is also an armored force, and there must be an imperial army, the specific number is unknown.

It is conservatively estimated that there must be about 4,000 devils who came to Dagu Town, and the ratio of troops in Xie Tian's hands is basically eight to one, even if Xie Tian has the geographical advantage, this battle is not easy to fight.

Xie Tian looked up at Wu Wenhua, stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhang Zhuang and asked, "Guess how many devils there are here?" ”

Wu Wenhua raised his eyebrows lightly and looked at Xie Tian: "The head of the regiment plans to attack Zhangzhuang again?" ”

A cruel smile appeared at the corner of Xie Tian's mouth: "Sneak attack? Even if Lao Tzu is a sneak attack, but this time Lao Tzu wants to take it completely. Lao Tzu estimated that there is only one squad of devils and one brigade of the Imperial Association Army in Zhangzhuang at most, as long as Lao Tzu can contain the devils who came to Dagu Town, a battalion will be fully capable of taking Zhangzhuang and completely destroying the railway line of the devils. ”

Wu Wenhua looked at Xie Tian in surprise, with only two battalions of troops, one battalion dragged eight times the devil as much as himself, and one battalion took Zhang Zhuang, which had the same strength but had the advantage of fortifications, this idea was too bold.

Xie Tian picked up the baton cut from the branches on the sand table and pointed and said: "As long as we drag this group of devils and make them unable to return to defend Zhangzhuang in time, we can buy at least four hours of attack time for the first battalion......

Wu Wenhua interrupted Xie Tian: "Regiment commander, the devil's armored troops only need more than an hour to rush back to Zhangzhuang, I'm afraid that the first battalion will be attacked by the enemy." ”

"Then find a way to keep his armored forces from coming back." Thank God for saying categorically.

Wu Wenhua looked at Xie Tian with a weak heart: "The regiment commander has a way to drag the devil's armored troops?" ”

"Not yet", Xie Tian said without hesitation, without a trace of embarrassment: "There will always be a way, let's take a look first, if you are lucky, Lao Tzu may be able to get a few of his tanks so that the devil can also taste the taste of the Iron King Eight." ”

Wu Wenhua scratched his head: "Okay, let's assume that the devil's armored troops can't go back to support, so how do we fight next?" ”

Xie Tian turned to the other side of the sand table and pointed to a place and said: "Tiger Ridge is the only way for the Taiyuan devils to support Zhangzhuang, as long as the Xiangyanggou Railway Bridge is blown up, the devils can only support Zhangzhuang from the road, so they must pass through the defense area of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army." We don't care if Chu Yunfei fights or not, as long as the devil takes the road, it will definitely delay the trip, I estimate that after the battle starts, the Taiyuan devil will have to arrive in Zhangzhuang in twelve hours at the earliest. ”

Wu Wenhua pondered and said: "With my understanding of Chu Yunfei, he will definitely fight the devil when he passes through his defense area, at least he can help us hold the devil for three hours." ”

Xie Tian looked at Wu Wenhua and said, "You are Chu Yunfei's old subordinate, I trust your judgment." But at no time can we put our safety in the hands of uncertain people. So the three hours that Chu Yunfei can win are not in Lao Tzu's plan, he can play the best, if he doesn't fight, let him do it, let's just stare at the dishes on our plates. ”

Wu Wenhua's expression changed slightly, looked at Xie Tian and said, "The head of the regiment taught a lesson." ”

Xie Tian shook his head: "Don't think too much, it's not a lesson." As a commander, we must formulate a combat plan according to the worst-case scenario, and we must make a contingency plan to ensure the smooth implementation of the entire operational plan. ”

Wu Wenhua looked at Xie Tian and had an illusion in his heart.

Was this man really a bandit before?

If I only listened to what he said, even if someone told me that he was an instructor at the Whampoa Military Academy, I would believe it.

At this time, another round of shells fell, one of which should have landed very close to the silk village, and the ground shook in this underground headquarters, and a lot of dirt fell on the top of their heads, and several people in the headquarters were covered with heads.

But at this time, no one cares about these at all, and the devil's shells can't hurt the people in the tunnel.

Wu Wenhua shook off the dirt that fell on his hat, looked at Xie Tian and said: "Xiangyanggou Railway Bridge is a three-hole bridge, and the devils have stationed a squad on both sides of the railway bridge, with two heavy machine guns and grenadiers, and there will be great casualties if you are close to the bridge. Is the regimental commander ready to let the artillery platoon carry out this task? ”

Xie Tian shook his head: "It's a bit overkill to let Zhang Xingsheng do this job." ”

Wu Wenhua paused for a moment and asked, "How does the regiment commander plan to blow up this bridge?" ”

"Xiangyanggou water flows continuously all year round, find a few frost-resistant soldiers who know how to water for Lao Tzu, cut some branches from the upstream and put them down, not too much, too much will cause suspicion of the devils of the Xiangyanggou Railway Bridge, and it can't be too little, too few Lao Tzu's soldiers will become the target of the devils, let them first go down some branches to paralyze the devils and then go into the water, as long as they can touch the bridge piers, there are more than a dozen explosives bags should be able to blow up this railway bridge."

Wu Wenhua nodded: "It should be possible." ”

Xie Tian sneered slightly: "As long as this bridge is blown up, then the problem of reinforcements from the devils in the Taiyuan direction will be basically solved." ”

Wu Wenhua agreed: "At least 12 hours were bought for Zhang Zhuang. ”

He didn't count Chu Yunfei's three hours now.
