I am helping

Air support?

Where's the air support from?

Just as everyone wanted to ask clearly, Zhao Gang had already brought Chu Yunfei in.

Immediately Li Yunlong introduced Chu Yunfei to several regiment leaders.

The regiment leaders were not too surprised. It was no secret to them that the Jinsui Army observation group came to the 129th Division to study and observe.

Out of politeness between friendly forces, the two sides greeted each other.

After taking his seat, Chu Yunfei was also a little surprised. He gathered all five regimental leaders but no brigade commander for a battle meeting...

Eight roads, what do you want to do?
Don't you really want to fight the 9th Brigade of the Japanese Army? Just rely on these five regiments?

It would be too whimsical.

Li Yunlong rushed out and shouted: "Tiger!"

Huang Erhu ran in and snapped a military salute: "Here!"

Li Yunlong said: "Go to the logistics production base, inform Lu Yingjun, and ask him to bring the finished sand table to the regiment headquarters."

"Yes!" Huang Erhu turned around and walked outside.

Not long after, Lu Yingjun and Wei Dayong came in from the door carrying the small sand table they made.

Sand table making is a basic military skill necessary for special forces.

After the two carried the sand table in, they withdrew again.

Li Yunlong said: "This is the sand table played by the soldiers below, everyone will just take a look."

Everyone turned their attention to the sand table. Although the Eighth Route Army held a combat meeting with a simulated sand table, although it was not common, there were some, so no one was too surprised.

Because the sand table is more intuitive than the map, the real mountains and rivers are clear at a glance.

Afterwards, Li Yunlong pointed to a bunch of small buildings and said, "Everyone, please look, this is the Huting stronghold, where the 9th Brigade is currently located."

"This is Hanjia Village, and this is Chenjiayu."

"According to intelligence, there will be a group of devils passing by each of these two places tomorrow."

"The devils in Chenjiayu are coming for the headquarters, and we, Xinyituan, will deal with it."

"The initial intelligence of the devils passing by the Han Family Village is a group of devil officials, and their intentions are temporarily unknown."

For the devils who came to Chenjiayu, Li Yunlong was going to send the 3rd Battalion, not only to ensure the safety of the headquarters, but also to ensure the complete annihilation of these devils.

Otherwise, it would not be a big problem to slip away a few devils, but if at least half of the devils slipped away, it would not be called a total wipeout.

At present, the 3rd Battalion has nearly 600 people, and its firepower is dozens of times stronger than that of the original 3rd Battalion. Most of the soldiers are elite veterans who have experienced many battles.

With the 3rd Battalion setting up a net in advance, even if it was the Yamamoto Special Forces that really came, it would be impossible to escape the result of destruction.

"Old Li, what do you mean?"

Ding Wei stared at the sand table and said thoughtfully, "Give the 9th Brigade of the Japanese Army a siege?"

Surrounding the spot to fight for aid is a classic tactic of the Eighth Route Army. This tactic of the Eighth Route Army has been tried and tested repeatedly, because once a devil is attacked, other devil troops will never stand by.

"Old Ding is right!"

"Our old Li has never underestimated devils."

Li Yunlong usually looks carefree, but in fact he is thick and thin.

The equipment of the new regiment is much better than that of other eight-way troops, and its firepower is also very strong. The morale of the troops is strong because of many consecutive victories, being awarded as a hero regiment, and Li Yunlong's own personality charm.

The New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment are already the main force regiments, each with a gun, relatively sufficient bullets, and a company of mountain artillery.

The brigade artillery regiment and the division artillery regiment are each equipped with about 20 American mountain guns and more than a dozen mortars.

But the devil is not bad either.

As the elite of the Japanese First Army, the 9th Brigade is the ace in Shinozuka Yoshio's hands, and its combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

The devil's crooked light machine gun is equipped to the squad, and the number of grenades and mortars is not small. The devil's grenade is known as tricky and ruthless.

The quality of the Devil artillery is extremely good, and the marksmanship of the Devil's elite infantry can almost bite the flesh within 300 meters.

If these five regiments put on a posture and face the 6000 devils face to face.

Even if the 9th Brigade was defeated with air support and powerful artillery, it would be a tragic victory.

With [-] devils, the Eighth Route Army may have to pay a very high price because the devils have the character of being brave and fearless with the enemy even if they die.

Most importantly, there is no way to wipe them out in frontal combat.

Li Yunlong continued: "I want to use the big fish in Hanjiacun to lure out the 9th Brigade, and we will eat the 9th Brigade on the way."

Kong Jie glanced at Chu Yunfei without any trace, and said excitedly:

"Ambush by devils?"

"This is the specialty of our Eighth Route Army."

As an old comrade-in-arms, Kong Jie did not ask whether there is any terrain suitable for ambushing more than 6000 devils between Huting stronghold and Hanjia Village.

Seeing Li Yunlong's confident expression, Kong Jie knew that this guy must have calculated everything.

Chu Yunfei showed curiosity on his face.

Although he was born in the fifth phase of Whampoa, in terms of strategy and tactics, the National Army and the Eighth Route Army are not the same.

The generals of the national army are keen on fighting positional warfare and like to line up their troops. When the devils come to attack, they will spread out their troops one by one, and they seldom leave a reserve team.

This caused the devils to break through a little, and there were countless battles where the national army's position was shaken across the board.

In combat, the Eighth Route Army often avoids the enemy's edge and launches a fatal blow at a place and time that the devils did not expect.

This time when he came to observe the Eighth Route Army, Chu Yunfei also came with a mission.

Li Yunlong pointed his finger in the direction of Dagouwan, and continued: "God help our old Li, there is a terrain suitable for ambushing a large number of enemies between the Huting stronghold and Hanjia Village. Dawangou has canyons on both sides, and the road passes through the canyon." , we will lie in ambush on the canyons on both sides of the road."

Sun Tzu's Art of War has been brilliantly discussed thousands of years ago. Terrain is very important for combat and can play a leading role.

However, most places in southeast Shanxi are mountainous, and there are many terrains like Dagou Bay.

"There are five bends in the terrain here, and the total length must be five miles. After the army of devils enters the canyon, let's tie the openings on both sides."

"The next step is to close the door and beat the dog."

"It is worth noting that the commanding heights and hills of each curve must be heavily guarded and must not be seized by devils."

"After the battle starts, don't rush to fight hand-to-hand. Use grenades, machine guns, and artillery to inflict maximum damage on the devils."

"If you go to hand-to-hand combat too early, even if you can eat six thousand devils, you will have a mouth full of teeth. After this battle, several of our infantry regiments will be disabled."

Li Datuan's tone was awe-inspiring:
"Great terrain advantage, great force advantage, great firepower advantage, attacking devils by surprise, I like this kind of battle the most."

Chu Yunfei probably understood Li Yunlong's approach.

To put it simply, there is no condition for the complete annihilation of the Japanese 9th Brigade, so create the conditions.

Take advantage of the geographical advantage and surprise.

The right time, the right place, and the right people are just as good.

The right time is to launch an attack when the enemy does not expect it.

Geographical advantage refers to the advantage of terrain, canyon ambush, tie up the opening, and use firepower to harvest the enemy.

Harmony among people is to unite as one, unite as one, and everyone has the heart to die.

Now Chu Yunfei finally knew why Li Yunlong, a mud-legged man who had never entered a military academy, was able to lead his troops to victory in many battles. Li Yunlong did have some advantages in tactics, but it was hard to say how much.

If you can really eat the Japanese 9th Brigade this time.

Chu's trip was worthwhile.

The next time is the deployment details of Captain Li.

For example, deploy the artillery positions of the artillery regiment belonging to the division, the artillery positions of the artillery regiment belonging to the brigade, and the artillery positions of the three infantry regiments combined.

How many troops and firepower to deploy on which hill, and how to make the firepower intersect and maximize effectiveness.

How many reserves are left in each regiment.

A total of three sets of emergency plans have been formulated, how to remedy emergencies and so on.

This is an opportunity given to Li Yunlong by God. In his previous military career, at best he only commanded one infantry regiment and two artillery regiments in combat.

It's different now. Being able to command tens of thousands of people to fight is already another level. This is called fighting with large corps.

Although it was the first time to command so many people to fight, Li Yunlong seemed to be able to do a job with ease.

He considered all the questions that the group leaders could think of, and answered them one by one, in a clear and convincing manner.

This meeting lasted until dark, and the group leaders dispersed separately.

After the heads of the regiments returned, they held a combat meeting.

Li Yunlong also called the battalion commanders and directly subordinate regiment commanders of the Xinyi Regiment to the regiment headquarters to deploy combat orders.

The task of the third battalion is to lay a net in Chenjiayu to wipe out all the devils who came to attack the headquarters.

The task of Yibailianlian and Sword Squadron is to ambush this net of devils in Hanjia Village.

The group of devils surrounding Hanjia Village will not be wiped out for the time being, but they will be put under a lot of pressure to call for reinforcements.

All the commanders and fighters of the rest of the Xinyi Regiment participated in the Dawangou battle.

Early the next morning, Xu Yonghai, the commander of the third battalion, took the commanders and fighters of the third battalion to Chenjiayu to take over the defense of the secret service group.

The rest of the battalions and directly subordinate companies of the New First Regiment began to distribute dry food and ammunition, and the soldiers slept during the day to recharge their batteries.

After dark, the New First Regiment, New Second Regiment, Independent Regiment, Division Artillery Regiment, and Brigade Artillery Regiment marched in batches in the direction of Dawangou.

The straight-line distance between Dawangou and Yangcun is about 20 kilometers, but it takes 30 kilometers to walk on the mountain road.

After walking for five or six hours, the three infantry regiments arrived at Dawangou first.

Li Yunlong ordered the guard company to build a headquarters 800 meters away from Dawangou.

Command.

Kong Jie walked in quickly and asked, "Lao Li, why don't the troops enter the ambush position overnight?"

Behind Kong Jie, Ding Wei also walked in.

The two of them had just received a notice from Li Yunlong to let the troops rest on the spot.

In Li Yunlong's headquarters, Chu Yunfei and Sun Ming were also present.

"Let the troops rest first." Li Yunlong said, "There is no rush to enter the ambush position."

Hearing Li Yunlong's reluctance to say the reason, Kong Jie didn't want to ask more questions. According to his idea, entering the ambush position at night is both concealed and safe.

Ding Wei and Chu Yunfei were thoughtful.

In the middle of the night, the direction of Dawangou suddenly became lively. Hundreds of devils who came out of the Huting stronghold held flashlights and shone on the canyons on both sides of Dawangou to search for something.

More than 100 flashlights dangled in the dark night.

"Damn it, it's a good thing I didn't enter the ambush position early." Uncle Kong was startled into a cold sweat.
