Chapter 211: Fighting on two fronts
Originally, Xie Tian thought that Chu Yunfei would shirk the order of the Second Theater Commander's Department and not dare to move troops without authorization, but he didn't expect that Chu Yunfei just pondered for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Xie Tian and said, "Brother Baoqing, how do you want my 358th Regiment to cooperate with Qizhou?" ”
This was indeed an accident, and Chu Yunfei's card was not counted in Xie Tian's battle plan at all.
However, Xie Tian would never mind another help, he stood up with a smile, and stretched out his hand to point to the sand table placed on the side of the county hall: "Brother Yunfei, let's go there and talk." ”
Chu Yunfei nodded and stood up, Fang Ligong on the side was so anxious that he gave Chu Yunfei a look.
Fighting Qizhou is not a trivial matter, the last time Xie Baoqing wrote to you to encourage you to fight Qizhou, I wasted a lot of effort to stop you, and now Xie Baoqing wants to fight Qizhou himself, so borrow him a way to let him fight well.
The sandpiper and the clam compete for the fisherman's profit, and when they lose the fight, maybe then it will be our fighter.
As a result, Chu Yunfei didn't see Fang Ligong's eyes, and accompanied Xie Tian straight to the sand table.
He wanted to know how Xie Tian fought the war, and this battle was won in a hundred battles.
Walking to the sand table, Xie Tian took a look, pulled down a few flags and changed his position, but his action startled Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong.
"Brother Baoqing, are you saying that the New Second Regiment of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army has taken Yanmen Pass?" Chu Yunfei looked at Xie Tian in surprise and asked.
Xie Tian nodded: "This was already a few days ago. ”
We didn't even know about it a few days ago?
Chu Yunfei looked at Fang Ligong with a black line, and Fang Ligong smiled bitterly at him helplessly.
Due to the change of the battle line, the only communication between the 358th Regiment and the Second Theater is telegram, and it is normal for the various departments to report the battle situation in a timely manner.
Xie Tian put the pulled flag back into another position on the sand table, and explained: "The Nakamura Division broke through the Pingxing Pass and arrived at the ancient town, and now it is still entangled with Li Yunlong's department. The 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army retreated from Pingxingguan to the area of Daxigou to rest, and their next target is likely to be to converge with the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division to encircle and annihilate the Zhongcun Division in the area of Gucheng, or it may also go south to attack Yangquan City. But it is true that they are no longer in the area of Pingxingguan. ”
As he spoke, Xie Tian continued to fiddle with the flag on the sand table and continued to explain: "In addition, the Japanese Arbor Brigade has arrived in Cai Village, and the Banheng Brigade has also occupied Wutai County, and the only one who has not advanced an inch is the Watanabe Division of the Kwantung Army, which was stubbornly resisted by Fu Zuoyi's Ninth Army Corps in Gaoqiang, Baihu, and Huai'an. Now the general strategic situation is basically like this, Taiyuan, Yangquan, Datong, Zhangjiakou and the ancient towns of these enemies have been cut and divided, now it seems to feel a little chaotic, everyone seems to be fighting their own battles, there is no discipline at all. ”
Chu Yunfei frowned tightly and stared at the sand table, without looking at Xie Tian, and asked, "Is your information accurate?" ”
Xie Tian nodded: "I don't dare to guarantee the accuracy of twenty-four hours, but seventy-two hours can still be guaranteed, among which the changes in the situation of the enemy and the enemy near Yanmen Pass, Gucheng and Qizhou can ensure the accuracy of twenty-four hours." ”
Chu Yunfei's fingers quickly tapped the edge of the sand table, and the sand table was re-fiddled with by Xie Tian, and the strategic situation in the entire northwest of Shanxi was completely different from before.
Xie Tian looked at Chu Yunfei and said, "So, I'm going to fight Qizhou." ”
As he spoke, Xie Tian planted the red flag representing the People's Liberation Army in his hand to the position of Qizhou, and easily pulled out the Japanese plaster flag planted on Qizhou.
Chu Yunfei's expression moved, and he said: "Take Qizhou, Taiyuan will become an isolated city." ”
Xie Tian smiled: "Yes, take Qizhou, the north and east of Taiyuan are the territory of my Xie Baoqing and Yun Fei brothers, the south is the Luliang base of the 343rd Brigade of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army, and the west is heavily defended by the two legions of the Second War Zone. ”
Chu Yunfei looked embarrassed, if Xie Baoqing took Qizhou, in fact, the two directions northeast of Taiyuan were Xie Baoqing's territory, and his Chu Yunfei's 358 Regiment had been surrounded by Xie Baoqing's troops on three sides, or it was protected on three sides, and it was impossible to contact the devils in any direction at all.
The other direction faced by the 358th Regiment is Shanyin County, which is now occupied by the Eighth Route Army, that is to say, the 358th Regiment will have no battle to fight in the future and will become a baby in swaddling clothes.
Chu Yunfei glanced at Xie Tian speechlessly and said, "Brother Baoqing, just say it, how can you cooperate with my 358 regiment when you fight Qizhou?" ”
Thank God for a wry smile, but he didn't arrange a place for the 358 Regiment in this battle, and he didn't need the assistance of the 358 Regiment, he just came to borrow a way from Chu Yunfei.
However, since Chu Yunfei couldn't sit still, Xie Tian had to temporarily change his local strategy.
Xie Tian smiled slightly, and pointed at Yangqu with his baton: "Here." ”
Chu Yunfei raised his eyebrows and looked at Xie Tian and asked, "Encircle the point to send reinforcements, Brother Baoqing wants me to block the reinforcements in the direction of Yangqu for you?" ”
Xie Tian smiled: "Isn't that a bit overkill." Brother Yunfei, you lead your troops to take Yangqu together with my armored infantry regiment, after taking Yangqu, Yangqu is yours, I don't want it, my armored infantry regiment continues to advance until it reaches the line of Caizhuang in Jinyang Lake. ”
Chu Yunfei was taken aback, looked at Xie Tian and said, "You want to fight on two fronts?" Don't you need to call your armored infantry regiment to fight Qizhou? ”
Xie Tian nodded and said: "It's not a secret, now that my first regiment has infiltrated Qizhou, I am here to make the second regiment go out to attack Qizhou with great fanfare, attract the attention of the Japanese army in Qizhou, and when the fighters are mature, my two regiments should cooperate with the outside world to recover Qizhou in one fell swoop." ”
Chu Yunfei looked at Xie Tian with a toothache and asked, "You have three regiments of troops now?" ”
Xie Tian smiled: "More than that, that's why my brother is in a hurry to take Qizhou now, otherwise it will become a big problem for so many troops to be crowded together and feed the horses." ”
Chu Yunfei understood that people didn't need his help to fight Qizhou at all, they had already planned it, and the transfer of the army was to give him face, otherwise it would be the same if people sent troops directly from Yuwang Cave.
If the 358th Regiment participates in this battle, it is purely hugging the thighs and borrowing arrows from other people's east wind grass boats.
Moreover, people also gave him a Yangqu County for nothing, and he owes a lot of favors.
The armored corps advanced to the front line of Caizhuang in Jinyang Lake, wouldn't it have already hit the outskirts of Taiyuan?
He really wants to fight Taiyuan.
