Chapter 196 Chen Ziyun and Qian Bojun's Different Battle Suggestions
The reinforcement troops of the Mongolian Army under the command of Harada Kenzo stopped in Yuanping City for a short time, and they began to rest.

Shigeharu Liushita, head of the third independent mixed brigade, quickly contacted Harada Kenzo, and the two sides met to discuss.

At five o'clock, the Seventh Division of the Puppet Mongolian Army mobilized a unit of more than 600 people to assist in the battle.

With the cooperation of the Eighth Division and Part One of the Seventh Division of the Puppet Mongolian Army, the Independent Mixed Third Brigade took the initiative to attack along both sides of the railway.

They began to sweep the Eighth Route Army attacking the railway, thus ensuring the absolute safety of the railway.

The Eighth Division of the Puppet Mongolian Army is also a cavalry unit. After being reinforced by more than 600 cavalry units, their strength has expanded by more than 2000 people.

More than 2000 cavalry cooperated with the little devils to fight, and they showed strong mobility.

The Japanese and puppet troops have made some progress in this battle, and there are no Eighth Route troops on both sides of the railway for the time being.

By the time more than 600 cavalry from the Seventh Division of the Puppet Mongolian Army returned, it was already past six o'clock in the morning.

Harada Kenzo began to order the troops to prepare, and a rich breakfast had also been arranged.

Considering that the Japanese and puppet troops here in Yuanpingcheng can still take the initiative, Kenzo Harada left some of the combat supplies here directly.

In this way, their troops can reduce the weight, which has a greater advantage for their subsequent operations.

At 06:30, in the Taihang Mountain area east of Xinxian County, here is the regiment headquarters of Xinyi Regiment.

Li Yunlong has been waiting here for a long time with a new regiment of 2000 troops. Their combat mission is to block the possible Japanese reinforcements in the north and south of Xin County.

Following the news from Yuan Pingcheng, Li Yunlong soon got the news that the troops stationed in Mongolia were about to go south along the railway and enter Xin County.

At this time, Li Yunlong was standing in front of the map with a serious expression on his face.

The division commander and brigade commander were able to contact the Xinyi regiment in time, and specially equipped the Xinyi regiment with a radio.

So Li Yunlong is currently able to communicate with his superiors by radio, and with the radio, they can also get more information.

"Regimental Commander, there is news from the brother troops that there are quite a few cavalry troops among the reinforcements sent by the Mongolian Army."

"The fraternal troops were also attacked by them, and suffered some casualties, so they had to temporarily stop the sabotage operations."

"The puppet army's cavalry is not weak, with excellent weapons and equipment, and can effectively cooperate with the little devils' troops in combat."

Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, stood behind Li Yunlong and said with a serious expression on his face.

Li Yunlong nodded thoughtfully, and looked north of Xin County.

The terrain in the north of Xinxian County is more complicated. In the area where Heyuan Pingcheng joins, there are even highland rivers here.

To the northwest of Xinxian County is a hilly area, including highlands, which are currently occupied by the remnants of the independent and mixed fourth brigade.

As for the northeast of the county seat, there are mountainous terrain, where there are Pingdingshan, Jiangjunshan, Zhaizishan and other highlands.

Two different terrains confront each other, the Tongpu Railway runs through it, and there is also a Hutuo River here!

"If the little devil goes south along the railway, we can only maneuver quickly to the mountainous area in the northeast of the county, grasp the commanding heights and launch an attack."

"Otherwise, if we let the little devil's reinforcements pass through here, we will suffer a loss if we fight with them in the Xin County area."

"However, the Pingdingshan area belongs to the original Pingcheng, and there are also Japanese troops deploying defenses here. It is too late now."

Li Yunlong pointed to the Pingdingshan area and said with a serious expression on his face.

Is the Xinyi regiment very close to here? It will take time for them to rush over quickly, and it will also take time to deal with the Japanese army here.

The most critical point is that the new regiment has more heavy weapons, which has a greater impact on the mobility of the troops.

In particular, they don't have enough horses, and most weapons are transported by manpower, so the marching speed will not be very fast.

It is almost impossible for them to enter the high ground to block.

And there is another point, that is, the reinforcement troops of the Japanese and puppet troops may not continue to go south along the railway.

To the east of the hilly area is the Tongpu Railway, but to the west there are also towns such as Qicun Town, which is also flat land.

This means that the troops commanded by Harada Kenzao can rush to Xin County to fight through two roads.

One is to go south along the Tongpu Railway, advance to Xinkou Town, and directly connect with the independent and mixed Fourth Brigade in the hilly area west of Xinkou Town.

One is that Yanzhuang Town can advance to the west of the hilly area, advance to Qicun Town, and also get in touch with the Independent Mixed Fourth Brigade.

These two roads are considered safe. As long as they reach Qicun Town and Xinkou Town, the terrain is relatively flat, which is conducive to cavalry operations.

The Xinyi Regiment wants to stop them at the outskirts of Xin County, so that they cannot advance to the Xin County area, which is currently impossible.

Especially when the opponent has a large number of cavalry, if the new regiment makes a wrong move, it may cause heavy casualties to the whole regiment.

"Regimental Commander, in terms of the art of war, soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent."

"Currently, the 48th Independent Brigade of the Jin Sui Army has severely damaged the [-]th Independent Mixed Brigade, and their troops are not too much of a threat."

"Under such circumstances, there is no need for us to block the reinforcements of the Mongolian Army outside the Xin County."

"Even if we put it in Xin County, we can effectively cooperate with the independent 48th Brigade to fight."

Just when Li Yunlong was hesitating, Zhao Gang came to Li Yunlong and made a suggestion directly.

When Li Yunlong heard Zhao Gang's first words, he frowned and was a little unhappy. He didn't like polite words.

However, Zhao Gang's subsequent suggestion made Li Yunlong thoughtful.

"I didn't see it, you are really not an embroidered pillow, okay, then go ahead and talk about what we should do next."

Li Yunlong looked at Zhao Gang and asked with interest on his face.

Zhao Gang came to the map, and his eyes locked on the Pingdingshan area northeast of Xinxian County.

"No matter which way the little devil enters Xin County from east to west in the hilly area, our Xinyi regiment will advance here."

"Taking Pingdingshan, Jiangjunshan, and Zhaizishan highlands, we can go north to assist the brother troops to threaten the original Pingcheng Japanese and puppet troops."

"At the same time, we can quickly withdraw to the Xinxian area to assist the independent 48th brigade in operations."

"At critical times, we can also quickly advance westward and directly carry out combat strikes against the independent and mixed fourth brigade in the hilly area."

"And no matter where the reinforcements from the Mongolian Army come south and enter Xin County, they will definitely be faster than us."

"When we take the high ground here, we can conduct roundabout operations at any time and attack them directly from the rear."

Faced with Li Yunlong's inquiry, Zhao Gang pointed to different locations on the map and explained in detail.

In the original play, Lao Li made mistakes, and the boss joked that he was a generalist.

Li Yunlong's all-rounder is that he has taken the blame, raised war horses and so on.

And the famous Brigadier Chen is the real all-rounder.

Brigadier Chen is proficient in both literary and military skills, commanding combat intelligence education, and so on.

Zhao Gangfan is just an ordinary college student, how could Brigadier Chen arrange for him to come and partner with Li Yunlong directly.

You must know that Zhao Gang is not only a college student of Yanda University, but also a graduate of the fourth period of the Anti-Japanese University.

Kangda is a school that specializes in training cadres. Its fourth phase started in April of 38 and graduated at the end of the year to go to the front.

It has been 40 years now, which means that before Zhao Gang came to Xinyi Regiment as a member, he had experienced experience in other troops.

In just one year, Zhao Gang was able to report to the 386 brigade, which shows his ability.

In the original play, Lao Li said that Zhao Gang was a master of Confucius with a sword in his waist, and he was both civil and military.

At this time, as Zhao Gang's voice fell, Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao looked at Zhao Gang in disbelief.

They obviously didn't expect that Zhao Gang was also unique in arranging troops.

"Hehehe, it seems our Zhao Zhengwei is not simple."

"This idea is exactly the same as that of our old Li, Zhao Zhengwei, you are simply a roundworm in our old Li's stomach."

"Da Biao, deploy according to what Zhao Zhengwei said, and our regiment is advancing towards the highlands in the northeast of the county."

Li Yunlong looked Zhao Gang up and down, and said with a smile on his face.

Obviously, from this moment on, Li Yunlong's attitude towards Zhao Gang has changed.

The new regiment assembled urgently, and at seven o'clock, they began to advance secretly towards the Pingdingshan area.

It was at this time that Chu Yunfei's brigade headquarters also received related news.

Chief of Staff Lin Zhiqiang and Chief of Staff Fang Ligong came to the map to mark it.

Seeing that the puppet troops for thousands of days have arrived at Yuanping City, they will soon be able to advance to the Xin County area to start operations.

Chu Yunfei frowned slightly. After all, after the previous battles, the two regiments under the Independent 48th Brigade were exhausted.

Now their combat strength is only more than 5000 people, and they are still scattered in different areas for defense.

Originally, the independent 48th brigade was deployed separately, and it was the remnant of the independent mixed fourth brigade that could pinch hilly areas, and it could be wiped out at any time.

However, as a large number of Japanese and puppet troops rush to help, they disperse their defenses, which may bring opportunities for the Japanese and puppet troops to defeat them one by one.

Chu Yunfei immediately contacted Chen Ziyun, Qian Bojun, and Zhang Fugui, asking them to come to the brigade headquarters quickly.

At six o'clock in the morning, the brigade headquarters had already issued an order.

With the approval of the General Command of the Seventh Army, Zhang Fugui was directly transferred to the acting head of the supplementary regiment as lieutenant colonel.

Captain Chu Yu was transferred to the 11th Battalion of the [-]th Reserve Regiment as the battalion commander of the major, and Sun Ming, the deputy of the major, concurrently served as the company commander of the guard company.

Of course, the supplementary group is still on the way, and they have not yet reached the Xin County area.

After receiving the order, Chen Ziyun and others came to the brigade headquarters immediately.

Lin Zhiqiang introduced the current situation in detail directly in front of the map.

Chu Yunfei looked towards Chen Ziyun and the others, obviously wanting to hear their opinions.

Qian Bojun and Zhang Fugui glanced at each other, and Qian Bojun got up first and made a suggestion directly.

He believes that now the Independent 48th Brigade should quickly gather its main force to the west of the hilly area, and try its best to stick to the first-line positions of Qicun Town and Hesuo Town.

The whole brigade adopted a solid defense to resist the Japanese and puppet troops. When it had to, the troops could quickly withdraw to the west and enter the high ground for defense.

When the supplementary regiment arrived, they would also be able to launch a counterattack at will, severely injuring the Japanese and puppet troops.

Qian Bojun once became an existence second only to Chu Yunfei, commanding a 2000-man army.

This shows that he is not weak, otherwise he would not have such a large number of troops.

At this moment, he had an idea, that is, keep a low profile in everything, recognize his own position, follow Chu Yunfei everywhere, and secretly accumulate strength.

With this in mind, Qian Bojun made a more professional suggestion.

After hearing this suggestion, Chu Yunfei nodded in agreement.

As Qian Bojun's deputy, Zhang Fugui naturally fully supported Qian Bojun.

So as Qian Bojun's voice fell, Zhang Fugui also said that this battle plan was perfect.

Chen Ziyun looked at these two people thoughtfully. He was still a little uncomfortable with their sudden change of temperament.

I have to say that this plan is really good. If there is no task issued by the system, Chen Ziyun will support it.

But when Qian Bojun and Zhang Fugui proposed such a plan, everything seemed unreasonable.

Of course, Chen Ziyun didn't have time to speculate on their real purpose, so he quickly stood up and offered different suggestions.

The task issued by the system is to stick to the county seat until September [-]th. Now if the troops withdraw from the county seat, it means the mission has failed.

For system tasks, Chen Ziyun must actively complete them. After all, the rewards of the system are unimaginable.

Among other things, the detailed shooting parameter table of the artillery alone can play a decisive role.

Throughout the several battles of the Independent 48th Brigade, every time the artillery played a huge role.

"Brigade seat, seat seat, now is an excellent opportunity for us to fight. If we choose to retreat, we can certainly ensure the safety of the troops."

"But the Japanese army defended on the spot because of this, so we have to confront them and wait until they solve the threat of the Eighth Route Army."

"All the little devils will free their hands. At that time, we were not only facing these Japanese and puppet troops."

"The Fourth Independent Mixed Brigade has been severely damaged, and its combat strength is not much left. Now is the time for us to strive to wipe it out."

"So I think the county seat needs to be defended. As long as we hold the county seat, they will have to attack."

"The 11th Preparatory Regiment is absolutely sure to hold the county seat, which will cause heavy damage to the Japanese and puppet troops."

Chen Ziyun got up and said with a firm expression on his face.

No matter what, he will not give up the county seat.

Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong glanced at each other, and they glanced at the map again.

They knew that according to Qian Bojun's plan, they could ensure that the Independent 48th Brigade would not be too threatened.

Even if they lose the battle, they can retreat unscathed.

However, such a tactical plan cannot achieve great results while ensuring its own safety.

There are not many remnants of the independent mixed fourth brigade left, and they are like fat on the lips.

Chu Yunfei was unwilling to let go of the fat that was about to be eaten completely.

What's more, he took the initiative to attack this time to deal with the brigade commander of the little devil, Major General Tsuda Mitake.

Tsuda Mitake is still alive, so Chu Yunfei must choose to continue fighting!
