Bright Sword Military System

Chen Songyong, who was directing the operation of Liyuan Airport, might have heard the news, and he hurriedly left what he was doing and rushed back to the headquarters.

"Regiment leader!" Chen Songyong suggested after understanding the situation: "Shall we attack Taiyuan in advance?"

The intention of attacking Taiyuan in advance is obvious, that is to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao: once the battle of Taiyuan starts, the devils will use their troops and supplies to defend Taiyuan instead of attacking the Yangyuan passage. In this way, Yangyuan and Datong are not safe, but the pressure is certain will be much smaller.

Wang Xuexin vetoed the plan without thinking.

"No!" Wang Xuexin said: "Not only should we not advance, but we should also delay the attack!"

"Delay?!" Chen Songyong and Zhang Zongping cast puzzled glances at Wang Xuexin at the same time.

The strategy of the battle between the two armies is very particular about "preemptive strikes", that is, try to become the leader of the battle instead of being forced to fight.

For example, the Battle of Songhu launched by the stubborn army is like this:
At that time, the devil's attack route was from north to south. This attack route was more reasonable, because most of Huaxia's communication lines ran from north to south. The main forces and industries of the recalcitrant army blocked and surrounded the coastal cities. At that time, it was too late for the recalcitrant army and industries to even move to Chongqing.

The stubborn army saw this danger, so they decided to take the initiative to send troops to attack Shanghai.

What happened next was just like the development of history: the devils were unwilling to lose Shanghai, an important port, so they sent reinforcements, and the recalcitrant army also sent reinforcements... Repeatedly, the forces of both sides piled up on Shanghai and fought bigger and bigger.

"Prepare?" Chen Songyong and Zhang Zongping couldn't help but look at each other, they didn't know what to do to prepare.

In this way, Chen Songyong and Zhang Zongping both understood that this is actually blocking Yanmen Pass with artillery fire. There is not much difference between the two regiments stationed at Yanmen Pass at that time, because the traffic line of Yanmen Pass can be blocked by artillery fire.

Wang Xuexin pointed to Yanmen Mountain where Yanmen Pass is located on the map and analyzed: “We can deploy M30 howitzers on the high mountains on both sides of Yanmen Pass. Four artillery battalions and four artillery detection radars, do you think the devils still have the ability to take down Yanmen Pass or block it?"

If only one side is the enemy, then no problem, Yanmen Pass is very stable.

It's no wonder that Chen Songyong and Zhang Zongping didn't expect this. They haven't gotten used to the existence of helicopters, after all, they are newly invented equipment.

Wang Xuexin nodded slightly: "It can be said that if the enemy wants to pass through Yangyuan, let them pass. The more they are dragged in Datong, the more empty they will be in the direction of Taiyuan, and the more likely our attack plan will be successful!"

At this time, the Eighth Route Army faced a similar problem:
If the devils are allowed to break through the Yangyuan passage first and attack Datong and Yanmen Pass... because Datong and Yanmen Pass cannot be lost, otherwise all the efforts and sacrifices of the Eighth Route Army during this period will be in vain, so the Eighth Route Army must fight.

"Regimental Commander!" Chen Songyong said worriedly, "Do you think we have the ability to support two battlefields?"

Zhang Zongping also agreed with Chen Songyong's point of view. He persuaded from the side: "Commander, it's too dangerous to fight like this! Even if we have helicopters, I'm afraid it will be difficult to transport supplies and troops for Yanmen Pass. It is only a matter of time before Yanmen Pass falls!"

But if there are devils in the south and devils in the north, Yanmen Pass is equivalent to being surrounded and unable to get supplies. Can such Yanmen Pass be defended?

Zhang Zongping understood before he finished speaking. His eyes lit up and he said, "Helicopter, can we use helicopters to lift artillery and shells to Yanmen Mountain to complete the deployment?!"

Yanmen Pass is indeed a problem.

Or these two regiments should be deployed on Yanmen Mountain to prevent the devils from directly attacking the artillery positions.

Of course Wang Xuexin considered this point, he said: "So we have to make preparations in advance at Yanmen Pass. In fact, not only Yanmen Pass, Datong also needs to make some preparations!"

Although helicopters have the advantage of transportation, if you want to transport supplies directly to Yanmen Pass... the devils before and after the pass only need an anti-aircraft gun, and the helicopter is an excellent target.

There is nothing wrong with Zhang Zongping's statement.

Devils can fight a war of attrition with the Eighth Route Army by attacking from both ends: consumption of manpower, supplies, and ammunition, the Eighth Route Army will always run out of people and ammunition!
If the Yanmen Gate cannot be guarded, it means that the devil's communication line has been opened up, and its main force can go south to reinforce Taiyuan. Can Taiyuan still be taken?At that time, if you don't make a mistake, you will lose everything!

This is a strategic success. Although the devils won tactically and even occupied Nanjing, the capital of the recalcitrant army, the tactical victory can never make up for the strategic failure.

Wang Xuexin nodded with a smile.

Therefore, this battle will not be a battle of devils attacking Yanmen Pass, but a battle of devils attacking Yanmen Mountain.

But attacking Yanmen Mountain... This is a place with an altitude of more than 1000 meters and there are rolling mountains everywhere. The Eighth Route Army has a Great Wall on the ridge to garrison and M30 howitzers.

The result was that the recalcitrant army transferred the main force of the devils to Shanghai and abruptly changed the direction of their attack.

The result of the battle was that the troops piled up a large amount of and limited supplies in the direction of Datong, thus losing the energy to attack Taiyuan.

"But the regiment leader!" Chen Songyong objected: "Maybe Datong can still be held, but Yanmen Pass..."

Chen Songyong and Zhang Zongping are aware of this, so they think that launching an attack first can not only "encircle Wei and save Zhao" but also lead the battle, so why not do it?
unless……

The point is that Yanmen Pass is a pass, which means that it is stuck on an important traffic artery between the mountains and mountains.

This is not just because of the strength of the troops. Although there are only two regiments at Yanmen Pass, because Yanmen Pass is a dangerous place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the strength of the two regiments is not a lot.

Then Zhang Zongping asked another question: "Commander, but there are cliffs everywhere on Yanmen Mountain. If you want to deploy artillery on the mountain and transport the shells, this transportation problem..."

Wang Xuexin, a modern person, is different. He knows how to use a helicopter and tap its potential to the extreme.

For example, the problem of guarding Yanmen Pass now...

During wartime, helicopters may indeed be blocked by enemy anti-aircraft guns, so why not use helicopters to transport the artillery up and deploy it before the war?
Swing the cannon condescendingly on the mountain, and add the cannon detection radar to indicate the target on the top...that is a good gunner who can fight wherever he wants!
How many cannons and infantry does the devil have enough to explode the cannons?

Even the devil's anti-aircraft guns had to be kept far away.

In this way, the devils can block the transport of helicopters and take Yanmen Pass?
