Chapter 199 Sand Table Deduction
Li Yunlong sat cross-legged on the kang, looking at the map in confusion.

"This time Yangquan City is not what it used to be. It was because of the Zhongtiao Mountain War that Zhang Wei had a chance to take Yangquan City down. Now, the devils have stationed almost a mixed brigade plus an infantry regiment of the Sixth Division."

Zhao Gang nodded: "If you want to break the situation, you have to go south and go north. If it is the early stage of going north, the troops we face will be weaker than the Sixth Division. But once the devil's Kwantung Army enters the border, our pressure .”

"Damn, this time the main attack task was given to us, but our main force was taken by the old chief to be directly under the army."

After finishing speaking, Li Yunlong slammed his mouth: "No, you can't just let me attack and not give me troops. It's just such a family background. I have to ask the Mobile Corps to come over!"

Zhao Gang was stunned: "Lao Li, where are you going? The old chief should go to bed now!"

Li Yunlong chuckled: "Our old Li is so anxious that he can't sleep, so let's look for him now."

"Are you going with me?"

Zhao Gang quickly waved his hand: "Don't, you have to go by yourself, I'll go and check the guard post, lest you cause any trouble and cause me to be scolded."

Li Yunlong looked at Zhao Gang's appearance, and said with a smile: "What are you afraid of, boy, the old chief has to be reasonable after listening to them, and he can't eat us up!"

After finishing speaking, Li Yunlong called Huzi over and asked cheerfully, "Huzi, go, find out if the old chief is asleep!"

Hu Zi looked at Li Yunlong with a bitter face: "Chief, can you find someone else to do this job? I'm not familiar with that side, and the guards there don't give us face."

"What are you afraid of? The current headquarters security regiment is reorganized from the secret service company, and the deputy head is the former Battalion Commander Long Wenwen."

Huzi retorted in a low voice: "But deputy head Long is still stationed in the back mountain, and he is not responsible for the old chief's vigilance."

"You boy, if you are told to go, go, why are there so many nonsense!",

"Yes!"

Not long after, Huzi went and came back: "Chief, the old chief just fell asleep."

"Let's go!"

Li Yunlong got up hastily, and brought Huzi to the courtyard where the old chief slept.

"Xiao Wang, help me call the old chief!"

Li Yunlong had a loud voice, as soon as he opened his mouth, the old chief who just lay down knew that Li Yunlong was coming.

Secretly wondering: "What does Li Yunlong want me for?"

"Here, Commander Li, why don't you come back tomorrow? The old chief just fell asleep."

"Let him in!"

Li Yunlong chuckled: "Push the door and enter."

The old chief sat on the bed wearing a padded jacket: "What's the matter with you coming to see me so late!"

Li Yunlong carefully closed the door: "Old Chief, this Yangquan City is not so easy to fight, look, this mobile corps"

"Don't even think about the mobile corps. I'm going to use them as a general reserve. You have enough troops!"

When Li Yunlong heard this, he said anxiously: "Don't worry, old chief, you know that although we have a large number of troops now, our combat effectiveness is not a bit worse than that of two months ago, not to mention that we are in a tough battle this time, and the attack is very difficult. Big!"

The old chief immediately understood Li Yunlong's thoughts: "The artillery regiment at the headquarters will be under your command this time. Don't worry, I won't let you charge against the strong fortifications of the devils."

"Old chief, look, can this cavalry regiment be entrusted to me to command!"

The old chief just wanted to refuse.

Li Yunlong quickly said: "Old chief, it is about the life and death of the base area. If we can't break the blockade of the devils, our base area will be finished sooner or later. If we can't take down Yangquan City, I don't have to raise my head to see your old chief. Guaranteed, I and my troops will never leave the battle alive!
Even if I, Li Yunlong, die, I will fall on the way to charge! "

The old chief nodded in satisfaction, and admired Li Yunlong's brave and capable fighting style: "I agree with your request. The artillery regiment and the cavalry regiment are under your command. Including your original troops in Northwest Shanxi, there are ten regiments in total. 4 More than ten thousand people, not only must take Yangquan City, but also come back alive, this is an order!"

"Yes!"

Li Yunlong happily returned to his room, while Zhao Gang was waiting at the door: "How is it?"

"That goes without saying, I issued a military order to the old chief, promising to take down Yangquan County, so the old chief returned the cavalry regiment and artillery regiment to us."

Early on the morning of the third day, Zhang Wei rushed back to Xiaowangzhuang headquarters.

In the war room, Zhang Wei was the first to meet Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang.

"You boy, you arrived so soon, come on, come over and look at the map first!"

Seeing Zhang Wei's dusty appearance, Li Yunlong beckoned Huzi to bring a freshly washed hot towel.

Zhang Wei took it and simply scrubbed his face. He was really haggard after being blown down by the cold wind along the way.

"Huzi, go, pour Zhang Wei a cup of hot water!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Gang pointed to Qianwa, and said to the Yang area: "According to the latest information, a brigade of devils has stationed here and is building fortifications."

After speaking, he marked an arrow on the map: "This is the direction of our troops' attack. The goal is to take down Yangquan County as soon as possible, and then take down other places at the southern foot of the Taihang Mountains."

"An infantry unit of the Devil's Sixth Division is stationed on the front line between Yuejia Village and Mazhuang, occupying the advantage of the terrain and location, it is difficult for us to chew!"

Seeing Zhao Gang finished speaking, Li Yunlong added: "However, we have an advantage in strength this time, not counting the troops that help to fight for aid. Our troops responsible for attacking Yangquan City alone have more than 4 people, and the strength is 7:1. We have never fought the battle of wealth!"

"I have seen the terrain scouted by the reconnaissance troops. If we directly attack the Xiangyang area, the steep terrain and the fortifications are about 600 meters long. Our offensive force is easy to deploy. However, the troops can only charge with their heads up, which becomes a living target. I am going to deploy the artillery regiment in the Houwa area, take down this outpost first, bypass Zhaishan South, and directly attack Yangquan County!"

Zhang Wei saw the homework on the map and thought about it: "I know the terrain on the side of Yangquan County. The terrain advantage is indeed great. If you attack Yuejia Village, the gain is not worth the loss. The troops will not be able to deploy at all. If a battalion battalion attack, it becomes a refueling tactic, which is a big taboo for military strategists."

Li Yunlong nodded and expressed his intention: "So I am going to transfer your troops back and let the New Sixth Regiment take over your garrison in Lingqiu County. I sent a telegram to Shi Dafan last night, and the troops are probably already in on the road."

"I have already ordered the assembly of troops, although I failed to bring the mobile corps over, and Shen Quan and Zhang Dabiao are missing two good players,"

Zhang Wei scratched his head: "Chief, so what is the mission of our column?"

"You guys are still in the column! Now you can have a regiment of troops? You are moving with the headquarters this time. I haven't figured out how to use your troops yet!"

Zhang Wei pointed to Pingding County, which is [-] kilometers south of Yangquan City: "Here! Give us one night, and I promise we can."

Li Yunlong waved his hand and interrupted: "I thought about this before, but just yesterday Yan Shuangying sent someone to send a message that there is a new ghost team stationed in Pingding County, and the devils probably know our situation. That’s where they focus on defense.”

"Then chief, you give the order, and I will fight wherever you let me lead the troops!"

Li Yunlong glared at Zhang Wei angrily: "Didn't I tell you that I haven't thought about it yet? I know how to fight all day long! After the meeting, go to the headquarters and report to the old chiefs. Tomorrow is the meeting time!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Wei simply dealt with it all afternoon, and took Duan Peng and the monk straight to the headquarters headquarters.

Along the way, some soldiers who didn't know Zhang Wei looked at Zhang Wei with curiosity.

"Who is this person? Why haven't I seen it before, it looks so cool!"

"Yeah, look at him, there are two guards behind him!"

"Will it be the head of the headquarters?"

"I don't look like it. I can feel the murderous aura on him. He must be the one who leads the soldiers to fight."

It is rare to see a commander as tall as Zhang Wei, and there are two guards behind him. This ostentation is rare.

The squad leader standing guard took a closer look and scolded: "Shut up! This is the leader of the special column, Zhang Wei!"

When the other fighters heard the words, they were surprised from ear to ear: "Could it be Zhang Wei, the original head of the independent regiment!"

The squad leader glared at him angrily: "That's still fake!"

Seeing Zhang Wei walking towards this side, the little squad leader quickly got up and greeted him, and asked salutingly, "Hello, chief, are you here to see the old chief?"

"Yeah, I came here as soon as I received the order! Say hello to the old chiefs!"

"Alright then, wait a moment, I'll go in and make an announcement."

The squad leader ran in quickly: "Report to the chief, Zhang Wei from the special column has arrived!"

The old chief and others put down the pens and paper in their hands, and said with a smile, "Oh? He's here? Just let him come in directly. Why are you so particular about it?"

"Yes!"

"The old chief let you in!"

"Report! Zhang Wei of the special column has been ordered to arrive!"

The old chief came over with the chief of staff, and said with a smile: "Zhang Wei, you boy, it's been half a year since I saw you! I've emptied your entire family, so you didn't blame me, did you?"

Zhang Wei smiled: "Old Chief, look at what you said, if you say that you didn't complain, you would not believe it, if the army is still in my hands, I guarantee that the two counties of Guangling and Guangfa have now been included in the sphere of influence of my base area. "

The chief of staff answered with a smile: "You boy, don't think that we don't know about the little tricks you did in Lingqiu County, and let you solve them on the spot. You boy actually started selling guns for a living."

Zhang Wei said awkwardly: "Report to the chief, Zhang Wei is willing to accept punishment!"

"Punishment? Punishment for what? We all know that your army is having a hard time, not to mention that your guns were actually sold to the county brigade, so it doesn't matter. Let's forget it this time, and we must not violate discipline again next time!"

Zhang Wei smiled and said, "Yes!"

"Okay, the other commanders will arrive tomorrow. Go say hello to your chief. They are playing chess with you inside. I didn't know you were here yet!"

"Yes! Old Chief!"

Zhang Wei walked to the innermost room and gently opened the curtain.

The brigade commander and the chief were standing in front of the sand table and staring intently.

The sand table clearly marked the enemy's garrison, as well as the surrounding towns, intersections, and strongholds.

This is also the largest room in the headquarters, not only the two of them are doing sand table deduction, but also many staff officers that Zhang Wei doesn't know.

In order to make this sand table, a lot of work was wasted, and the scouting team could hardly be idle for a moment, and it became what it is now.

Towns, strongholds, county towns, even a river, and hillsides are all clearly defined.

"Obviously, in the area where the devils are currently stationed, as long as they attack one point, the devils in the remaining two places will immediately come to support them, and they are completely in the shape of a triangle.

In addition, if Ping County is transformed into a forward base by the devils, our battle will be even more difficult!"

The chief smiled: "What? I gave up now? Then I won this one!"

The line between Yuejia Village and Mazhuang, the line between Qianwa and Xiangyang Village, plus the devils in Yangquan County.

Together, they formed a defense system similar to the Iron Triangle in Northwest Shanxi. Once other places support a frontal attack, they will first be blocked by the devils, and the original field battle will become a tough battle. This is very unfavorable for the Eighth Route Army.

Not only have a large number of strongholds been built along the way to defend Yangquan County, but the devils have become much smarter now.

No matter what, if you don't attack, it's completely a posture of fighting to the end, you attack and I will defend, and you have to pull a few attacking troops to back up before you die.

"I still want to take down Pingxian County. If Pingxian County is taken down, all the deployment of the devils will be self-defeating. As long as there is one army that can gain a firm foothold in Pingxian County, the Japanese and puppet troops of about [-] will be defeated." The fat around our mouths!"

The chief smiled: "But what do you use to fight Ping County?"

The brigade commander gritted his teeth: "Use the mobile corps of the general reserve team to cooperate with the frontal attack, go out of Meng County, bypass Liangjiazhuang, attack the devil squadron in Yangjiagou, cross Shangjiashan, and catch the devil by surprise!"

"This is not safe. If they are all lightly armed, the casualties of the troops will never be small. Zhang Wei's mobile column will also be deployed to Caiyangpo, on the front line of Tailiang Mountain, and together with the mobile corps, they will block the reinforcements from the direction of Taiyuan."

The chief smiled: "Then I will command the 41st Division to attack Lingqiu, Laiyuan, Fanzhi, and Dai County. The [-]th Division reinforces the Yangquan area, storms Niangziguan, and flanks the right wing of the Northwest Shanxi Army. The mixed brigade, the Ninth Mixed Brigade, gave up the confrontation with the Central Army and the Jinsui Army, and attacked Kelan, Wuzhai, and Shenchi."

The brigade commander sighed helplessly: "This battle can't be won like this. Could it be that the devils have completely leaked their hinterland to the Central Army of the Jinsui Army? Such a good opportunity, as long as they are not stupid pigs, they can completely catch the devils by surprise. .”

The chief nodded in agreement: "Yeah, if you just change someone to command, you won't let go of such a good opportunity. This is a good opportunity to severely damage the Japanese and puppet troops in the second theater, but that person can do such a fucking thing." things."
