Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 1238
Hayashi Yoshitaro is still of a certain level, and he made careful arrangements before he set off.

Lin Fangtaro's arrangement was mainly to block the news, that is, to keep Datong, including the entire Eighth Route Army, from knowing that the 110th Division had been transferred.

In terms of defense, in order to prevent the Eighth Route Army from knowing that the 110th Division had withdrawn, Lin Fangtaro's method was to make all the puppet troops wear the uniforms of imperial soldiers, and even took great pains to make them all equipped with [-] large caps... [-] large If the cover is not enough, use wood to carve out the shape of a rifle instead, and then follow the devil to patrol around the gun tower.

The Eighth Route Army and the guerrillas saw devils everywhere on the defense line from a distance, and thought that the 110th Division was just withdrawing from the mountains to the plains for defense, without considering other things at all.

But the real 110th Division put on the uniform of the puppet army and rushed to Datong under the leadership of Lin Fangtaro...

The 110th Division took the road by car, because the Eighth Route Army only occupied the railway and not the road.

In this regard, Hayashi Yoshitaro did not attack according to Okamura Ningji's ideas.

Neji Okamura hoped that the 110th Division would cut off the supply line of the Eighth Route Army first, and then attack along the railway line.

Hayashi Yoshitaro objected to this, and he sent a telegram to Okamura Ningji requesting a secret attack on Datong.

Because Lin Fangtaro believed that if he attacked along the railway line, firstly, the Eighth Route Army of Datong would make sufficient preparations, and secondly, the air force of the Eighth Route Army would suppress the bombing of the 110th Division all the way. I'm afraid it has become a remnant.

Neiji Okamura thinks about it and thinks it makes sense. On the other hand, Neiji Okamura believes that the independent group in Datong is the most important thing. As long as Datong is taken down, everything else is easy to talk about.

Therefore, Hayashi Yoshitaro's style of direct attack on key points is advisable.

So it was approved immediately without much thought, and other troops and even the aviation team were required to fully cooperate with the 110th Division.

Lin Fangtaro's station is more than 300 kilometers away from Datong, and they hide by day and night... During the day, they are afraid of being discovered by the reconnaissance plane of the Eighth Route Army, so they dare not act.

After two nights in this way, we arrived near Datong.

The next day Lin Fangtaro was not in a hurry. He continued to let the troops hide in the forest to rest and changed their uniforms back. They waited until it was dark before they sneaked towards Datong...

Wang Xuexin did not find any clues.

This is mainly because Wang Xuexin is commanding from the rear, and can only analyze the problem based on the intelligence from the front.

If there is no abnormality in the information ahead, then even if Wang Xuexin is a god, he would not be able to guess that the devil has already secretly surrounded Datong by a division of troops.

In the past few days, Wang Xuexin has been organizing the defense from the steel factory to Datong and clearing out the devils north of the railway line... This railway line is not far to the north, which is the edge of the devil's forces. There are only a few devils and puppet stragglers in this area In controlling villages and towns, the Eighth Route Army only needs to send a few half-track vehicles to destroy the enemy and liberate these villages and towns.

This is also the reason why Wang Xuexin dared to hit this railway line.

If a line is inserted into the enemy's hinterland for no reason, it is basically looking for death. Not to mention other things, the pincer attack of the devils on both sides can cut off the Eighth Route Army's retreat and supply lines.

But... If this line is backed by the northern devils, it means that the Eighth Route Army has almost no threat on the other side and only needs to defend the other side.

Wang Xuexin's defense on this line is centered on the airport.

He arranged the new first regiment at Ningbei Railway Station, the new second regiment at Longxi Airport, and the other ten main regiments distributed around these two places. Only a small number of troops and even guerrillas were stationed on the railway line to guard the gun towers on the high ground. Deploy more troops at important transportation hubs and strategic points.

The reason for this arrangement is that Wang Xuexin knows that the defensive side is very taboo to spread out the troops evenly. Although it seems that the defense is very tight and there are no loopholes, in fact it is full of loopholes.

For example, it is nearly [-] kilometers from the steel factory to Datong.

If the ten main regiments are deployed on average over these 75 kilometers, there will be only [-] people per kilometer on average.

Who can such a line of defense defend against?And there is no defense depth at all!

Wang Xuexin's defense idea is that once the devils attack this line of defense, the first thing they have to go through is the bombing and strafing of the Eighth Route Army fighter planes... The rockets may not be enough, but the aviation machine gun bullets seized by the Eighth Route Army from Longxi Airport and Datong Airport are used as aviation bombs. But enough for a devil to drink a pot.

Then, as long as there is an enemy attack anywhere, there will be armored trains and trains carrying troops to rush to reinforcements.

This is a kind of dynamic defense, but a dynamic defense realized by railways.

This is what the devils did when they dealt with the guerrillas who destroyed the railway, and the armored train was even born for this.

The devil must have never expected that the Eighth Route Army would actually use it on the frontal battlefield.

Wang Xuexin thought that the devils would launch an attack in a few days, but he didn't expect the devils to come and go without any movement.

This made Wang Xuexin feel a little guilty.

Because the battlefield is often like this, the calmer the surface is, the darker the tide is turbulent where it cannot be seen, and it is too late when it is discovered.

Wang Xuexin’s eyelids could hardly hold up after several days of not closing his eyes. He made a cup of coffee and used its aroma to dilute his tiredness, and then asked Chen Songyong who was sorting out the telegrams: “What’s the situation at the front? Are the devils still silent? "

"Report to the head of the regiment!" Chen Songyong replied: "There is still no movement! It's just that there is something strange in Jinyuan area, and the report says that there seem to be a lot of puppet troops!"

Wang Xuexin said "hmm", the loss of the puppet army is not a big deal, it is impossible for the devil to send the puppet army to attack the Datong defense line, and the matter of Ning Jie's surrender was still hot, the devil would never want to see another puppet army sent up Being disabled or surrendering as an organization will deal a heavy blow to the morale of the puppet army.

But Wang Xuexin was still not honest, but he couldn't figure out what the devil was up to, so he could only ask the frontline troops to strengthen their defense and reconnaissance.

At this moment, Zhang Zongping, who was standing in front of the radio station a few meters away, suddenly reported: "Commander, we have lost contact with Datong. It should be that the radio station was interfered by devils!"

"Datong?" Wang Xuexin was taken aback for a moment, and immediately felt that something was wrong.

He got up and walked around the table twice, saying, "No, the devil's goal is probably Datong!"

"Datong?" Chen Songyong still didn't believe it: "But why didn't we get any news? After the fall of Datong, the devil's two reinforcements stopped advancing. We all have intelligence personnel watching..."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Songyong understood that the devil's two reinforcements were just a cover-up, they were used to attract the attention of the Eighth Route Army.

And the main force of the devils should be near Datong at this time.
