While Fujiwara was still struggling with his transportation route, Li Yan had already formulated a plan to intercept the Japanese transport troops. Judging from the current situation, the Japanese would definitely not bet on this large number of important arms.
Transport it to the southern area of Xishan via Xishan County's South Avenue, and you will definitely choose the road in the southwest of Xishan near the east exit of Shulin in the west of Xishan County.
Li Yan had previously prepared to ambush the entire reinforced regiment in the woods of Xishan County, but later found that such an ambush was meaningless because only one side of Xishan Southwest Road was surrounded by woods, and the other side was a common plain terrain. If
If you lead a team to ambush the Japanese in the woods,
In order for the entire transportation plan to go smoothly, these devils will definitely deviate from the original transportation route and turn westward to continue the transportation plan. Moreover, trucks and other transportation vehicles are very fast. If they are not stopped at the first time, the entire interception plan will be ruined.
It can basically be considered a failure.
After much deliberation, Li Yan finally decided to give up the idea of locating the reinforcement regiment directly in the woods west of Xishan County. Instead, he went to the transmitter and sent a telegram to Qin Yan's troops who had not yet set off.
The plan was completely conveyed to Qin Yan, and Li Yan wanted to work with Qin Yan, who was about to enter the base area in the southwest of Xishan, to carry out the task of intercepting the Japanese transport troops.
The southwest base of Xishan is close to the surrounding hills. Although the concealment there is not as good as the woods in the west of Xishan County, if there are not too many troops coming to ambush, it can still be avoided by the enemy. At the same time, Li Yan suggested that Qin
Yan will arrange the troops coming to intercept
On a large hill to the south of the southwest base area of Xishan, because the hilly terrain is relatively high, it is very close to the Japs' transportation route, and the concealment is quite good, so Li Yan suggested that Qin Yan deploy some of his troops around the hill.
, in case the Japanese transport troops suddenly turned and fled.
After Li Yan completed the entire combat plan, Fujiwara had also finalized the final transportation route. However, he did not assign only one unit to carry out the transportation mission, but instead deployed an additional regiment.
The Japanese soldiers were used to help prevent the transportation of arms and supplies, and focused on the woods west of Xishan County.
In previous battles, his side was ambushed several times and ended up being annihilated. The scale of this transportation was no less than a battle, so Fujiwara finally decided to use the extra one he had deployed.
The regiment first arranged an ambush in the woods west of Xishan County. When the Eighth Route Army arrived, they used a surprise attack to kill or contain the Eighth Route Army unit to buy time for their own side's transportation mission.
Thinking of this, Fujiwara no longer delayed, but immediately issued the order to march first. The Japanese regiment followed Fujiwara's order and drove out of the gate of the combat headquarters and pushed towards Xishan County. However, Li Yan at this time was not aware of this at all.
When he planned something
After everything was done, he came to the transmitter and prepared to convey his final troop arrangement to Qin Yan. However, before Li Yan could start transmitting the report, there was a sudden beep in the earphones. Upon seeing this, Li Yan
He immediately stopped sending the telegram and picked up a pen to record it carefully.
When Jiang Zhen saw that Li Yan had not spoken for a long time, he quickly approached Li Yan. Li Yan took a few telegrams on the table and looked at them carefully. The previous two were intelligence from his superiors and from Xishan Nanqiao.
information, but the last one seemed a little wrong, because the telegram was sent from the southwest of Xishan
, and the content of the telegram specifically mentioned the words "Do not ambush in the woods in the southwest of Xishan". Looking further down, I saw the words "The Japs unit has advanced into the woods in the west of Xishan County." Jiang Zhen
Seeing this, he hurriedly handed the telegram to Li Yan. Upon seeing this, Li Yan took the telegram and read it carefully.
Before Li Yan could finish reading the telegram, Jiang Zhen spoke first: "The enemy's attack is obviously to guard against your reinforced group. If you choose to go through the woods in the west of Xishan County and directly attack the Japanese transport team, it would be a good idea."
You can complete the task, but you have to pay a lot of effort
To prepare for the price, if we directly engage in a firefight with the Japs ambushing in the woods west of Xishan County, we will have no time to take care of the Japs soldiers who are performing transportation tasks. This will not only lead to the failure of the plan, but also cause some losses to us," Jiang Zhen said.
Then he raised his head and glanced at Li Yan.
Li Yan quietly stared at the map of Xishan, and frowned into a big knot, but soon the knot unstretched again. Li Yan slowly stretched out his hand and drew along the southern part of Xishan, and waited until he reached the south line of Xishan.
When heading toward the bridge, he suddenly turned to the east and explained at the same time: "Brigadier Jiang
, Our mission this time is to intercept the Japanese transport team and destroy or seize this batch of arms and supplies. Therefore, I am not going to exchange fire with the Japanese soldiers in the woods west of Xishan County, but I am going to take a detour eastward along the direction of the Xishan cable bridge back to Xishan.
The Japanese transport troops are ambush at the east corner of Southwest Road."
"Intelligence says that a regiment of the Japs has arrived in the woods west of Xishan County. Judging from this situation, I estimate that the Japs' transport plan will be implemented soon. Your original plan was to pass the Japs' transport team through this Xishan Southwest Road.
Fifteen minutes ago, we came to the woods in the west of Xishan County, but the woods were occupied by the Japs, so... If you want to achieve the same effect as leading troops to the woods in the west of Xishan County to set up an ambush, you must arrive in Xishan in advance.
Near the rope bridge." Jiang Zhen guessed.
When Li Yan heard this, he didn't add anything more, because what he was going to say had already been finished by Jiang Zhen. Li Yan went out to gather all the reinforcements together, then turned back to Jiang Zhen and said:
"Brigadier Jiang, I am going to lead the troops to advance to the direction of the Xishan Cable Bridge now.
The terrain of the bridge section is complex, and it is difficult to determine the specific ambush location without reconnaissance first. In addition, I have also thought of your guess about the time when the Japanese transport team will move, so I plan to get to the place close to the transport route before the Japanese, so as to avoid
Plan failed due to time delay..."
Seeing Jiang Zhen nodding, Li Yan quickly added: "Brigadier Jiang, this time I ask your two regiments to stay in Xishan County for a few more days. If you lead the troops back to the Xishandong base area, the operation will be formalized."
At the beginning, our Xishan County will become an empty city. In this case, I am worried that the Japs unit ambushing in the woods to the west of Xishan County will take the opportunity to occupy Xishan County. This will be very serious for our three base areas in the southern part of Xishan.
Fatal."
