Bright Sword Military System

What the chief said was probably Wang Xuexin's plan.

However, unlike what the chief thought, Wang Xuexin's desire to capture Zhangjiakou was not all for the purpose of "replacing defense with offense."

Zhangjiakou is indeed a very good dangerous place to "replace defense with offense". There is the Great Wall built along the mountain and Dajingmen, which are also known as the four major passes together with Juyongguan, JYG, and Shanhaiguan. After capturing Zhangjiakou, Datong will be established. A natural barrier in the northeast can block the threat of the Kwantung Army from the northeast with only a small force.

But Wang Xuexin thinks more about attacking, and what he thinks about is preparing for the attack on the Northeast.

If it is just defense, Wang Xuexin believes that as long as the production of "La 5" and the production and upgrading of air-to-air missiles are guaranteed to grasp the air supremacy, the devils will have nothing to do with Datong.

The reason why Zhangjiakou is so important is because it is currently the only way out for the Eighth Route Army... Another point of exit is Beiping, but it is obviously much more difficult to take Beiping than Zhangjiakou and it does not match the strategy of the Eighth Route Army.

Secondly, Zhangjiakou's geographical location is very suitable for the Eighth Route Army to infiltrate northeast and divide the devil's forces.

To the north of Zhangjiakou is the Yanshan Mountains, and to the north of the Yanshan Mountains is the Daxinganling Mountains. The Daxinganling Mountains almost cross the entire China from north to south, dividing it into east and west halves: the east half is the Northeast Plain, the three northeastern provinces and the main The cities of Fengtian (Shenyang), Xinjing (Changchun), and Harbin are in this area; to the west is the part where the Kwantung Army of the Devils confronted Mao Xiong.

Wang Xuexin was thinking about a question: If the Eighth Route Army guerrillas infiltrated the Daxing'anling Mountains to fight guerrilla warfare with the devils, and then gradually grew...would it be possible to easily divide the devils' Kwantung Army into two so that they could not communicate with each other?

How will the devil choose then?

Abandon the area west of the Greater Khingan Mountains or continue to increase troops to this barren land semi-surrounded by the Eighth Route Army?

Wang Xuexin wanted to know the answer very much.

At this time, the headquarters approved the order to attack Zhangjiakou. Wang Xuexin did not think too much, and immediately ordered: "Order the independent regiment to capture Zhangjiakou as quickly as possible, and at the same time order the airborne troops to get ready!"

"Yes!"

With a single command, the battle started again.

This time, Wang Xuexin did not give a specific attack plan but was directed by Li Yunlong himself.

This is not only because Wang Xuexin believes in Li Yunlong's commanding ability, but also because Wang Xuexin knows that mechanized units like the Independent Regiment, especially now that they have synthesized artillery and tank troops, and even combined airborne troops... need to give the commander free play Space.

Let go when it’s time to let go. Let’s not talk about the rapidly changing situation on the battlefield, which is not suitable for Wang Xuexin’s remote command in Liyuan. The mechanized troops need to grasp the opportunity in time.

If Wang Xuexin clings to the command power and wants to command every regiment and every battalion, he will be like the one in Chongqing who "sit firmly in the tent of the Chinese army and command blindly".

When Li Yunlong got the order to attack, he didn't immediately order to attack... Li Yunlong was already ready to attack, and the battle plan had been deduced three times, waiting for Wang Xuexin's order to send troops immediately.

But at this moment, Li Yunlong calmed down and did not rush to fight, but stared blankly at the map.

Zhao Gang felt a little strange when he saw Li Yunlong like this. He asked, "Old Li, what do you mean? Every day you clamor for a war, but now you really want to fight, but now you're scared?"

Li Yunlong stared, and replied: "What are you talking about? I have been going up the mountain of swords and down the sea of ​​fire for so many years without frowning, so now I am afraid of devils?"

Zhao Gang asked suspiciously: "Then you are..."

"Old Zhao!" Li Yunlong looked at the map thoughtfully and said, "Do you think there will be problems if we only fight from one side?"

Zhao Gang was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Old Li, you don't mean to divide your troops, do you? We only have one regiment, and the devils have at least one division in Zhangjiakou. Do you want to divide our troops?"

This made it hard for Zhao Gang to imagine. Shouldn't the division of troops be done by the side with more troops?How could Li Yunlong do the opposite.

Unexpectedly, Li Yunlong analyzed: "It's because we don't have as many soldiers as devils, so I want to divide them. Look..."

Speaking of which, Li Yunlong pointed to the map and said: "We have a small force and are a mechanized force. The advance route of the troops is easily controlled by the enemy. If the devils do not passively defend as we imagined, but take the initiative to intercept, shall we follow? Are the devils stuck in a hard fight?"

Zhao Gang thought about it for a while, then nodded slightly in agreement.

As Li Yunlong said, although mechanized troops march fast and have strong combat effectiveness, they have a disadvantage that they must advance along roads or railways, which can easily be predicted by the enemy.

Under such circumstances, if the devils predict that the Eighth Route Army is about to march to a certain place and then send troops to set up an ambush...just like the Eighth Route Army was intercepted by the devils at the same time when the Eighth Route Army attacked, it would be difficult to move an inch.

Li Yunlong went on to analyze: "We are fighting a 'blitzkrieg'. 'Blitzkrieg' is about surprise and speed. If the devils have guessed the attack route, then what is it called a surprise? If they are all stopped by the devils How fast is it moving? So, I don’t think we can fight like this!”

If Wang Xuexin heard Li Yunlong's words, he would be very relieved. Now Li Yunlong not only understands "blitzkrieg", but also grasps its essence and can apply it to actual combat.

"So!" Finally Li Yunlong said: "We should divide the army into two to confuse the devils, so that they don't know which one is the main force of our army. Then use the mountain roads and highways between the two routes to create a set of falsehoods. In fact, advance towards Zhangjiakou while consuming the devil's force!"

Hearing these words, Zhao Gang raised his head in shock and looked at Li Yunlong, and said, "Okay, Lao Li! Looks good! It's done, just hit like this!"

So the Eighth Route Army was divided into two parts and moved towards Zhangjiakou along two routes. One of them had tanks and half-track vehicles. It looked like the main force... This was Li Yunlong's trick, because he knew about tanks. It's too conspicuous. When the devil sees that this army has tanks, it must be the main force.

But in fact, this army is not the main force. It only has a tank battalion and a mechanized battalion. A considerable part of its majestic appearance is created by adding a militia battalion.

Another force consisting of four mechanized battalions plus an artillery battalion is the main force... Li Yunlong wants to try the power of the Maoxiong M30 howitzer, and he wants to know whether the artillery detection radar is really as magical as Xiaodongbei said.
