When Li Yan saw that Jiang Zhen's eyes were completely fixed on the four small red circles marked by him on the map of Xishan County, Li Yan did not say any more nonsense, but went directly to the map of Xishan County, stretched out his right hand and quickly
He clicked twice in four places, then looked back at Jiang Zhen: "Commander Jiang, we just intercepted the Japanese transport convoy and blew up the important parts they were carrying.
The transport plane, I think these devils will definitely not give up, and during this period, we may..." Li Yan stopped here, and then looked down at the positions he marked.
After thinking carefully, Jiang Zhen, who was standing aside, stared at Li Yan for a while, and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. Jiang Zhen felt that what Li Yan was going to say next might be related to the Japanese counterattack.
As soon as Jiang Zhen thought of this possibility, Li Yan already pointed his finger at these four places and looked back at Jiang Zhen and explained: "Brigadier Jiang, these Japanese soldiers have tried to attack with a single route and send large troops a few times before.
siege the city and wait until we run out of ammunition and food before launching an attack, but these plans
They all ended in failure, so I think that if the Japanese side is preparing to counterattack this time, they must send a large number of troops to attack Xishan County directly..." Li Yan thought again at this point and saw that he
There was indeed nothing wrong with his guess, so he raised his head and continued:
"Brigadier Jiang, if the Japanese want to attack Xishan County from the south of Xishan County, there are three roads they can take, the south avenue of Xishan County, the south path and the woods in the west of Xishan County. The first two roads have their own disadvantages. Xishan County
There is no hiding place on the southern avenue. It is obviously foolish to use this as a formal offensive route without the enemy discovering it. The southern trail in Xishan County is muddy and difficult to pass.
It is suitable for slow penetration but not conducive to rapid attack. In this case, the only place left is the woods in the west of Xishan County. The woods in the west of Xishan County are close to the west gate of Xishan County and are highly concealed. Therefore, I judge that the first group of Japanese troops must be
It comes out of the woods in the west of Xishan County." After speaking, Li Yan pointed to three other locations and continued to explain his conjecture to Jiang Zhen.
Li Yan believes that among the next three routes extending from these three locations to Xishan County, only the two routes from Xishan South Bridge through Xishan County South Avenue and Xishan County South Trail to Xishan County can be used as the final attack route.
The other two routes can only be used as feint attacks and routes to cooperate with encirclement and suppression.
Li Yan concluded that the Japs must be preparing to place a large number of troops in the rear first, and then transfer the last troops to the woods in the west of Xishan County. When the battle begins, the Japs troops in the woods in the west of Xishan County will launch the first attack.
However, Li Yan did not think that this force was a formal offensive force, but a feint attack force. Due to the complex terrain of the woods, his side was unable to know the specific number of the Japs in a short period of time. Without determining the number,
Li Yan is more inclined to go out and attack someone.
However, in this case, the two Japanese troops from the south of Xishan County will take the opportunity to attack Xishan County, and they can even occupy the county seat without firing a shot, and Li Yan's troops will also be attacked from the southwest of Xishan County.
The incoming Japanese troops encircled and suppressed them and fell into crisis.
If there is no assistance from outside troops at this time, Li Yan will truly enter a dead situation, and the person who will die is his own side. Li Yan frowned and analyzed carefully, and finally focused on the Xishan Nanqiao base area and the
In the southwest base area of Xishan, although these two Eighth Route Army units are far away from Xishan County, they are closely related to the Japanese troops.
The troops are arranged very close to each other. If we can use the power of these two parties to contain the Japanese troops coming to attack, this battle may be easier. But this ease does not mean simple. Even if we have found a way to
Although there are ways to protect all troops, it does not mean that the subsequent battle situation will definitely develop in an optimistic direction.
After Li Yan finished speaking all his thoughts, he raised his head and looked at Jiang Zhen. After listening to Li Yan's explanation, Jiang Zhen's heart felt like a big stone was pressed against Li Yan. Jiang Zhen went back and forth with his hands behind his back.
After wandering around in the temporary command room for a while, he returned to Li Yan and asked slowly:
"Li Yan, do you think this will work? I'm going to pull all the troops from the Xishandong base area to Xishan County. If the battle starts, I will send two regiments to assist you in chasing the Japanese troops in Xishulin, Xishan County. This way
Once you come, you won’t be afraid of the other one.
The Japanese troops came to intercept, and the remaining three regiments followed me to defend Xishan County. I believe that if the Japanese troops saw this situation, they would not attack rashly. In this case, they would also give opportunities to troops from other base areas to attack.
Time, you see..."
After Li Yan heard what Jiang Zhen said, he quickly waved his hand and retorted without thinking: "Commander Jiang, your plan can indeed solve the siege of Xishan County, but... if the Japanese
Turn the momentum and join forces to attack the Xishan Southwest Base Area. After the Xishan Southwest Base Area is defeated, then attack your Xishandong Base Area. At this time, you will transfer all your troops to Xishan County, then the Xishandong Base Area will be attacked.
The base area must be empty. Wouldn't this give the Japanese an advantage? Once the base area in the southwest of Xishan is broken, the entire southern front of Xishan will be incomplete. At this time, if we send a large number of troops into the base area in the east of Xishan, it will be equivalent to our
A chain is pulled out in front of Xishan County. If they want to eliminate our troops, it will be easy, so I ask you not to touch the troops in the Xishandong base area."
Jiang Zhenjing was immediately troubled when Li Yan said this. Judging from what Li Yan just said, Xishan County must be at a disadvantage in the Japanese counterattack. Even if there is assistance from other base areas, it will be of little help, because after that, there will be four routes.
The Japanese troops were converging to besiege, and at this time, he could not send troops to stabilize Xishan County. Should he give up the important strategic location of Xishan County? At this time, Jiang Zhen was very entangled in his heart, and he also felt very cowardly.
Li Yan raised his head upward and sighed softly, thinking that if he defended Xishan County this time, even if he barely succeeded in the end, the base areas in the four parts of Xishan would definitely be severely damaged, which would leave enough for the Japanese at any time.
Li Yan stood there and thought about this fatal offensive opportunity for a long time, and finally focused on the four words: "pretend to defend".
