Others show their swords, I show my missiles!

The next day, after the Japanese 21st Division and 35th Division were blocked, they promptly sent the news to Shao Dijun.

Shao Dijun saw that a strong attack was not the answer, so he wanted to implement the previous combat intention: cut off our army's independent brigade food route!

It generated electricity to urge its western armies to accelerate their advance toward Wuxiang.

It was a good thing that it did not send a telegram, but this telegram was deciphered by our army.

After the news reached the brigade headquarters, Zhao Gang, Zhang Dabiao and Xing Zhiguo felt that it was a big deal and immediately reported it to the headquarters.

"Brigadier Chen? I am the deputy chief of staff. The independent brigade deciphered the Japanese telegram and learned that the Japanese were independent into the 16th Brigade, the 37th Division, the 36th Division, the 9th Independent Brigade, and the 41st Division. , a total of three divisions and two brigades, want to pass through Wuxiang and attack Panlong and Zhuanbi.

To cut off the transportation line of the independent brigade, adopt the strategy of "encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao" to rescue the 33rd Division.

You are now ordered to quickly capture Wuxiang with a force of no less than three regiments.

In Wuxiang, Liupanao and Donggou areas, they blocked the three Japanese divisions and two brigades.

Another regiment was used to protect the road from Wuxiang to Xiangyuan.

Your artillery regiment moves south to the vicinity of Panlong Town to provide long-range artillery support. "

"Understood!" Brigadier Chen put down the phone and immediately checked the map and studied the battle plan.

If the troops in the liberated areas were not empty, Brigadier Chen even planned to send a regiment to penetrate behind the Japanese, divide and surround one or two Japanese divisions, and it would be a big deal!

However, the safety of the headquarters and the liberated areas was the top priority. He could not imitate Li Yunlong, who ignored the safety of the headquarters for the sake of a few Japanese army officers.

This time he could only bring out four regiments, and the remaining two regiments had to protect the headquarters and the liberated areas.

One of these four regiments will be selected to serve in protecting Li Yunlong's transportation line.

After this battle is over, that guy Li Yunlong has to get some blood!

He went to war and mobilized me!

What do you want? There is no shortage of equipment, and the headquarters will give you whatever you want.

By the way, I need someone!

The 386th Brigade lacks nothing but talents!

Political Commissar Wang asked:

"Brigade commander, this time the Japanese really came to the headquarters, our task is not light.

Let me say that we first send people to the front to lay mines, dig roads, delay the Japanese attack, and use our long-range artillery advantage to slowly wear down the enemy troops.

As long as the Japs are held back and Li Yunlong takes care of the 33rd Division, these Japs will definitely be scared away!

In this way, our casualties will not be too great. "

Brigadier Chen thought for a while and said:

"Political Commissar, do you think the Japanese are really ready for a strategic decisive battle with us in Shanxi Province?"

After speaking, he shook his head and continued:

“I don’t think they’re ready yet.

Now it's like fighting a wolf with straw - both sides are scared!

We are afraid that if we fail to block them, the headquarters will be threatened, the liberated areas will be damaged, and the newly constructed liberated areas will be destroyed;

They are afraid of prematurely engaging in a strategic decisive battle with us. Their firepower and military strength are inferior to ours, and they will be eaten whole by us!

At this time, the stronger we act, the more scared they will be.

Let’s see who can’t calm down first! "

"Okay, you decide how to fight, I support you!"

"I think it can be like this: Liupan Nao does not need to be defended. It is between Wuxiang and Donggou. If the Japanese occupy this place, they will be attacked from both sides.

In this way, we can detach a group and move to the Huiting area first, waiting for the opportunity to surround the Japanese and annihilate them.

If this fails, we will adopt a posture of encircling and annihilating the Japanese Western Corps from the rear.

We need to create momentum, and one group needs to create the momentum of three groups.

When the enemy is about to break out, get out of the way, let them go, and defeat the enemy from behind. "

Deputy Brigadier Chen said:

"In this case, how this regiment hides its whereabouts is crucial.

If the enemy accidentally finds out the truth, the enemy may go to this group. "

Brigadier Chen said:

"It doesn't matter, even if the Japanese find out, they won't dare to give up the original strategic goal. We may even be lucky that our army is divided and there are not enough defensive troops in the direction of the headquarters.

With the two Japanese divisions 21 and 35, it is difficult to make any progress in front of a battalion of the independent brigade.

They probably don't dare to divide their troops to surround our regiment. "

"The reason for the 21st and 35th Divisions is that the roads are difficult to travel and there are not so many roads to take.

If in an open area, the two divisions spread out.

It will be difficult for our army to take full advantage of our army's long-range artillery fire.

It cannot be said that one of our battalions can fight against two Japanese divisions! "Deputy Brigadier Chen still has some doubts.

“If something like this really happens, then let’s work hard and see if our group can hold on for a long time;

It was the Japanese 33rd Division that persisted longer!

As long as Li Yunlong captures the Fourth Division of Huashui County and marches his army northward, it's not certain whether the Japanese's Western Corps will be able to escape! "

Deputy Brigadier Chen thought for a while and finally agreed to Brigadier Chen's plan.

"Okay, I have no objection!"

While Brigadier Chen was preparing to fight against the Japanese [-]rd Division and [-] Brigades, the headquarters also called Li Yunlong.

He told Li Yunlong and asked him to deal with the 33rd Division as soon as possible.

If there is an accident, such as the logistics channel being cut off, which threatens the safety of the independent brigade at an important moment, Li Yunlong can be exposed.

In other words, when necessary, he can conjure a huge amount of artillery shells, missiles, tanks, artillery, rockets and other materials out of thin air under the eyes of the soldiers!

Of course, this is the last trump card. You won’t do this unless you have to!

Let’s talk about the Japanese 41st Division and the independent 9th Brigade.

This part of the Japanese set out early, and rushed to the aid of Huashui County [-] under the order of Shao Dijun before Dongtou Shouzao suggested terminating the battle of Zhongtiao Mountain.

When it received a new order to attack in the direction of Wuxiang, it was still about 30 kilometers away from our army's high-rise blocking position.

After receiving the new order, the commander of the 41st Division looked at the map: there was still a straight line distance of 160 kilometers from Wuxiang, and several other divisions were behind and had not yet broken away from Jiang Wufa's army.

I just want to rescue the 33rd Division according to the original plan first.

By the way, wait for the 36th and 37th Divisions and the independent 16th Brigade.

They did not run as fast as the 26th Cavalry Regiment, and they did not arrive in front of the high-rise position until noon the next day after the 26th Cavalry Regiment was tortured.

The 1st Regiment sent the 2nd Battalion to defend the Gaolou and Xiaodongshan positions.

The 2nd Battalion placed two companies in these two positions; the other two companies were concealed and on standby.

不同于2团4营的阻击战，这次1团2营面对的是一个师团加一个旅团的鬼子，畜牲数目远远多于2团4营初次面对的不到一千头的鬼子。

Moreover, the battlefield in this direction is relatively wide, and the Japanese can spread out and attack our positions from all directions, making defense more difficult.

The 2nd Battalion still took advantage of its ability to dig holes and dug many better holes in advance than those in Huashui County No.[-].

The infantry fighting vehicle is still placed in front of the position to serve as a fixed firepower point, but some sandbags are also placed around it to provide an extra layer of protection.

Many bunkers were built at the front to provide adequate protection for the infantry.

The 41st Division also received a notification from the 26th Cavalry Regiment. In view of the characteristics of our army, the commander of the 41st Division asked the Japanese to disperse and surround the 2nd Battalion position in a semicircle.
