Anti-Japanese 1938

Chapter 50 Dangerous Chess

Li Yan guessed that the reason why the devil divided his troops into three routes first was to prevent the large-scale transfer of the troops in the Xishanshan base area along the possible marching route, but at the same time he was forcing himself and Jiang Zhen to leave the important strategic position of the Xishanshan base area. , As for whether these devils will continue to pursue or directly occupy the Xishanshan base area at that time, it is their business, but the telegram said that the marching route of the devils from the other two regiments is unknown, Li Yan thinks this must be the devils left behind In the end, these two alliances may ambush behind the Xishanshan base area.

In this case, if Jiang Zhen and himself take the troops to defend, the devils from the last two alliances will secretly come from behind and bite the ass of the west and east base areas. If the devils face head-on and retreat temporarily, the devils from the two rear regiments can take advantage of the chaos to make a sudden attack, and then the three devil regiments that were in charge of attacking the base area will be the ones that bite the Xishandu base. It has been mentioned that the superiors will provide reinforcements at an appropriate time, but it is still unknown when the reinforcements will come. If the reinforcements come when your side is fighting with the Devils or when your side is already at a disadvantage, it may not be possible. The absolute security of the Xishan Mountain Station is completely guaranteed, so Li Yan has now let go of the idea of ​​relying on reinforcements to get out of the crisis, and instead focuses on how to deploy his own troops before the devils launch a general attack.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Yan decided to divide the troops stationed in Xishan Mountain into two groups, one led by himself to ambush on the mountainside on both sides of Xishan North Road, and the other led by Jiang Zhen to ambush behind the Xishan Mountain base. On the hillside, there are very dense forests in these two places. Distributing the troops in these two places can be condescending and give a few punches when the devils are not prepared. Second, they can rely on dense trees for defense. In this environment, it is presumably impossible for the devil to fully understand the staffing and specific location of his side, so he just speeds up and advances instead of stopping to fight back.

At this time, due to the joint sneak attack by Li Yan and Jiang Zhen, the devils will inevitably lose part of their troops, and the most important thing is that their arrogant morale will also be suppressed. When Xishan was stationed, Li Yan would combine his troops with Jiang Zhen's troops to concentrate on suppressing the devils coming from the north, making full use of the advantages of the mountains and forests, the condescending terrain, and the superiority in numbers to eradicate the northern troops first. Devil brigade, if this plan is successful, then the Xishanshan base area will lose the threat of a devil regiment, and this will also lay a good foundation for the arrival of reinforcements.

After the Devils Alliance in the northern part of Xishan was completely suppressed by Li Yan and Jiang Zhen, the two teams left the woods in the northern part of Xishan and turned to the south. The two groups of troops separated and wiped out the two groups of devil troops. Although this anti-encirclement and suppression plan seems very simple, it is also very difficult to predict, because the real location of the remaining two devil groups is still unknown. If the devil's two regiments did not appear behind the Xishan Mountain base, but appeared in any of the three roads of Xishan County, the intersection in the north of Xishan, and the roundabout route in the south of Xishan, it would bring unpredictable danger to your side. So although Li Yan wanted to express his thoughts immediately, he still didn't say a word in the end.

Seeing Li Yan's expression, Jiang Zhen at the side immediately realized that Li Yan should have thought of a way to defeat the enemy, but he was surprisingly calm this time. Jiang Zhen guessed that Li Yan might not have much confidence this time. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but add a sentence: "Li Yan, you can do it according to your method. If you succeed, you may survive this crisis. If you don't, you will die at worst." After finishing speaking, he sat down on the chair Now, his mind was blank. If he didn't know where the Devil's other two wings were, then no matter what tactics he used, he would inevitably end up being surrounded by the Devil's large army in the end.

Li Yan calmed down a bit and sat back on the chair. He pointed at the map of Xishan and silently analyzed it. After a period of hard thinking, Li Yan finally found a breakthrough, but this breakthrough was not a new discovery, but Li Yan just ignored a relatively inconspicuous thing in the pre-war analysis. Li Yan hurriedly marked a location on the map near the backyard of the Xishanshan base area and looked it up and down carefully. He found that the mountains behind the base area and the The other mountains are very different, because there is a gap in the middle of the mountain in the Xishan Mountain base area. Counting the south county seat of Xishan, the roundabout route in the south of Xishan, and the north of Xishan, it is the fourth road in the entire east of Xishan. Li Yan guessed The reason why the Devils Alliance put the forces of these three alliances on the first three roads is probably to put this last road in front of Li Yan and Jiang Zhen's team, and deliberately lead them into this road. .

If this is the case, then Li Yan can completely conclude that the devils of these two brigades are on the hillside behind the Xishanshan base area, and Li Yan judges from past experience that they should also be equipped with artillery and heavy machine guns. On the one hand, you can relax and wait for the two big pieces of meat, Jiang Zhen and yourself, on the mountains on both sides. On the other hand, you can also restrain your side from directly charging up the mountain. It can also be expanded to Xishan Middle Road, so that it can effectively and suddenly suppress the counterattack of himself and Jiang Zhen.

Thinking of this, Li Yan felt more and more that his idea of ​​ambushing all his troops among the forests in the mountains was correct. If he was directly on the flat ground to fight a large number of devils, then he would definitely have no time to ambush behind the base in the west and east mountains. The good two teams of devils armed with heavy weapons, in this way, my side is like a live target for the devils' cannons. Maybe before the devils rush over, my side has already lost more than half. At this point, no matter how many reinforcements come, they can only help the Eighth Route Army soldiers under him to collect the corpses of their brothers. Li Yan simulated the whole plan of this battle up and down, and finally Only then did he raise his head and look at Jiang Zhen who was sitting beside him frowning.
