Anti-Japanese Special Warfare

Chapter 188 Sand Table Deduction
Xue Yue stood in front of the sand table, which was the simulated terrain of the entire surrounding area of ​​Minshan Mountain. All the military points were marked with small flags, and the location of the Devil's army was also marked.

This condensed sand table is exactly the same as the actual geographical environment. It is definitely not enough for Qi Rui to wipe out the 106th Division with his own ability, so he has to rely on the strength of the Guojun, because these people present are basically Guojun generals who are resolute in resisting Japan. , the combat effectiveness of the army in the ninth theater is the strongest in the Guo army, Qi Rui is still willing to cooperate with them.

"Brother Qi! Tell me what you think first." Xue Yue said.

"I have two plans, one is to divide and wipe out the 106 divisions, and the other is to join forces to wipe them all out. But to achieve these two points, you still need to bring them in! In addition, you need the strong support and cooperation of your theater troops !"

Xue Yue is now representing the commander of the 106th Division Junrokuro Matsuura. What he has to do is to find a way to overthrow Qi Rui's tactics. If he can't overthrow it, it means that Qi Rui's combat plan is feasible.

"Do you think they will still be fooled after previous failures?" Xue Yue asked,

Qi Rui said with certainty: "It will definitely, because Okamura Ningji's No.11 Army wants to invade Wuhan before Higashikunimiya Renhiko's Second Army, so he issued an order to several divisions of the Eleventh Army. The order to advance quickly, and in the eyes of the devils, our failure is very reasonable, because they have fought too many battles along the way where the fruit army will be defeated in one blow."

"But they know the combat effectiveness of our 74th Army!" Xue Yue said again,

"It is because they know that their opponent is the 74th Army, so they have to prove their strength! Besides, after two days of fighting, the 74th Army has suffered a lot of casualties and its combat effectiveness has dropped. This is also reasonable. They have just lost a wing. It will be more violent, so they will definitely be fooled! Because their task is to quickly attack Zhan De'an!"

"I also think Matsuura Junrokuro will be fooled!" Yu Jishi said,

"Well! I think so too!" Wang Yaowu also said,

Xue Yue also believed in his heart that as long as the arrangements were made properly, it would not be difficult for the Japanese army to be fooled, so Qi Rui said, "Then tell me your battle plan!"

Qi Rui pointed at the current pass position with a pointing stick and said: "The advance route of the devils is the Nanxun Railway, and there are not many ways for them to come here. Besides, there are heavy Guojun garrisons in other important places, so they should still be there." Keep attacking, because the forces in the pass are relatively concentrated and there is no defensive level, so once they break through the pass, they can drive straight in."

"Because of the big loss last time, Matsuura Junrokuro will not enter the pass as quickly as before, but will ask for air support and let their 106th Field Artillery Regiment bomb the way first!" Qi Rui continued after finishing speaking ,
What Qi Rui said was agreed by all the commanders and staff present, and Xue Yue had nothing to refute, because if he was Junrokuro Matsuura, he would indeed do this. The other way would be to follow the old path before. , even if he can, it doesn't matter, because Qi Rui's purpose is to let them in.

"Brother Qi! Have you ever thought that once the devils enter the pass, the other positions will be in danger. What if Matsuura sends troops to attack other positions on both sides to meet the 101st Division?" Xue Yue asked.

Qi Rui pointed to several places and said: "That's exactly what I want! What we want is for them to divide their forces, which is why I said that the entire front needs to cooperate in fighting, because we are not really defeated, but at this fork. Devils waiting to be pursued!"

All the commanders and staff officers looked at the sand table, speculating in their minds what would happen to the devils after they entered the pass, and almost unanimously agreed that the devils would divide their troops as soon as they entered the pass.

"According to what I know about Songpu, he should divide his troops into three groups, and continue to attack along the Nanxun Railway along the way. The other two groups will copy the pass and beat other positions in the rear.

"Yes! I think so too! If it were me, I would do it!" Wang Yaowu also said,

Xue Yue looked at the sand table and felt that there was nothing to refute. If it was him, he would do the same, because if the entire division were to chase along the Nanxun Railway, once the Guo troops in the other positions took the back road at the same time, then No .70 The Fourth Army counterattacked, and they would have no place to run after being attacked by the enemy.

And the most important thing is that the 106th Division has no reinforcements, because the 101st Division is now blocked on the front line of Lushan Mountain and cannot get through.

"We hope so, but we must also prevent Matsuura from chasing after the victory and destroying the fleeing 74th Army first! Because he knows that you are the ones who can stop them from advancing!" Qi Rui said,
"There may be this! But it's not big! If I were Matsuura, I would be more stable. I would first settle the other positions on both sides, and then take over the 101st Division, and then go both ways and only take De'an!" Xue Yue said,
"So this is the first combat plan I mentioned, and it is extremely beneficial to us. That is to divide and wipe out the 106th Division. According to what you said, the remaining 106th Brigade of the 111th Division 113, 147, 136 The three regiments of Brigade 145 should act separately, because we will notify other positions in advance, and what we have to do is to eliminate the ghost regiments chasing along the Nanxun Railway as quickly as possible! Then immediately support other positions, so that Naturally form a pincer attack on the devils!"

All the commanders and staff wanted to overthrow Qi Rui's ideas, but they were all far-fetched. No matter how you look at it, the devils could only follow this battle plan, because if they adopted other battle plans, they would die faster!

"We also have to be prepared for the 106th division to go all the way south to chase us foolishly, so the fork I mentioned before is where we will fight back! No matter whether the devils are chasing three regiments or one regiment! This will be our counterattack An important place!" Qi Rui continued,

"Brother Qi deliberately chose the fork in the road as a position, probably to lure the devils to divide the army again?" Yu Jishi asked,
"That's right! Devils' favorite tactic is outflanking. Once they are blocked at the fork, they will find a way to outflank. At this time, the defenders of our other positions have already started to move, and the troops with strong combat effectiveness must outflank immediately. The back of the 106th Division, tie your pockets to death! Send another team to retake the pass, and immediately build fortifications to prevent the devils from the 106th Division from escaping! It is even more important to prevent other devils from coming to support the 106th Division.”

Speaking of which, Qi Rui pulled down the flags of several of the positions, and then inserted the flags representing the 74th Army and his own troops on the sand table, so that it was clear at a glance that the devils who entered the pass would be surrounded by the fruit army.
