Li Yan walked to the map of Xishan and looked at the direction of Jiang Zhen's finger for a while. Finally, he set his sights on the Japs airfield previously placed on the northwest plain of Xishan. After Li Yan determined the location of the Japs troops, he stared at it.
This map of Xishan explained to Jiang Zhen: "Commander Jiang, it is true that the northwest area of Xishan is a plain area, but
The last time I led a reinforcement group to attack the airport, I found that the further you go to the northwest, the higher the slope in front of you. When you really reach the northwest, where the Japanese built the airport, it is considered a real plain terrain...
..." Li Yan suddenly stopped here, pointed at Xishan Northwest Road, looked back at Jiang Zhen and explained:
"I remember I once said about the special situation of this location. The section before Xishan Northwest Road tends to be gentle, but starting from the center of the road, the slope increases sharply. When approaching the northwest intersection, the slope will increase again.
Double, this is a high ground for the defenders in the northwest. If
If machine guns and artillery are set up here, they can basically withstand the collective attack of three regiments. Even if there are more than three regiments, it will be difficult to capture such a place without heavy weapons." After Li Yan finished speaking,
Then he pointed to his Xishan County and Xishandong base area and stated his plan.
At this time, Li Yan had less than 6,000 people deployed in Xishan County, but only 3,000 could actually go out to fight. The two regiments in the southwest base area of Xishan were unable to participate in this encirclement and suppression operation because they had to go back to rebuild the base area.
Qin Mo's two regiments were unable to participate in the war due to many issues such as their designation. Although the Xishan Nanqiao base area could send troops to the northwest of Xishan, there was a mountain between the two places.
If you want to attack the northwest of Xishan, you have to cross there first. However, Li Yan had been there once before during an operation to ambush a Japanese transport team. He knew that the terrain there was not conducive to marching from north to south, so in the end Li Yan gave up heading to Xishan.
The Nanqiao base area generated a request to send troops to jointly attack the Japanese strongholds in the northwest of Xishan. In the end, most of the burden of the entire plan fell back on Jiang Zhen's Xishandong base area.
Jiang Zhen initially thought that Li Yan's idea of mobilizing most of his troops to fight in the northwest of Xishan was a stupid idea, but after some thinking, Jiang Zhen himself had to choose such a method.
Execution of the attack on the northwest part of Xishan
The plan of the Japanese stronghold was to risk the emptiness behind Xishan County and the Xishandong base area and lead troops to attack the stronghold in the northwest of Xishan. However, in the end Jiang Zhen did not tell Li Yan about this decision, but sat back on his chair and went back and forth.
Thinking of other ways.
Just when Jiang Zhen was struggling, the door of the combat conference room suddenly rang. Li Yan walked over and opened the door. As soon as he looked up, he saw Qin Mo standing in front of the door, but Qin Mo ignored Li Yan who came up to him.
Instead, he went straight to Jiang Zhen and sat down: "Commander Jiang, you don't have to trust me, but you don't need to always send people to keep an eye on me, right?" Seeing Jiang Zhen pretending to be stupid, Qin Mo continued to ask
Pointing to the door: "Brigadier Jiang, go out and see for yourself."
Jiang Zhen walked out of the door in the direction of Qin Mo's finger, looked around, and soon found an Eighth Route Army soldier lying in the corner. Jiang Zhen hurriedly came to the Eighth Route Army soldier, squatted down and shook it vigorously a few times.
Meet this Eighth Route Army sergeant
Bing didn't wake up, so Jiang Zhen put his finger on his chin to test his breathing. Seeing that he was still alive, Jiang Zhen returned to Qin Mo angrily, pointed at his nose and roared: "Qin Mo."
Mo, what the hell did you do to my soldiers!"
Qin Mo slowly took out a few pieces of white gauze from his jacket pocket and placed them in front of Jiang Zhen: "Commander Jiang, this little brother will wake up soon. I didn't do anything, I just put some ether on this white gauze."
On the gauze, I will not allow your soldiers to faint.
When you go for a walk and you are followed closely by a tail, you can wait for a call back from your superiors. Whether you believe it or not at that time depends on what the telegram says..." Qin Mo said this.
After a short pause, he stood up and continued:
"If at this juncture you still want to guard against me like a thief, then I can only use practical actions to win your trust. Just wait. I will take this grenade now and fight with those people.
The Japanese soldiers will perish together!" As he said that, he was about to rush out. Seeing that things were about to go bad, Li Yan rushed forward to stop Qin Mo.
He was told not to be impulsive, but at this time, Qin Mo not only did not stop this reckless behavior, but intensified. Jiang Zhen saw that Li Yan could not handle it alone, so he also rushed forward and pressed Qin Mo, who was about to lose his mind, against the wall.
But just as the three of them were entangled, the transmitter on the table suddenly beeped.
Li Yan walked to the transmitter, put on his earphones, and transcribed the entire telegram. After the entire message was translated, Li Yan stretched out his right hand to greet Jiang Zhen and said at the same time: "Brigadier Jiang, superior
Call back." When Jiang Zhen heard the reply from his superior, he hurriedly came to Li Yan, snatched the telegram from Li Yan's hand and read it carefully. When Qin Mo saw this, he also stopped his excessive behavior and stood there.
Looking at Jiang Zhen and Li Yan by the wall.
After Jiang Zhen read the entire telegram, his brows slowly widened. Upon seeing this, Li Yan came to Qin Mo and said: "The superior called back and said that there is nothing wrong with your unit. You are now allowed to join the Eighth Route Army, but now the Xishan Front
has become solid, so there is no longer any independence for additional troops.
Base area, so the superiors plan to put you into Brigadier Jiang's troops, tentatively designated as the Sixth Regiment and the Seventh Regiment." After Qin Mo heard this, the reckless energy in his heart completely disappeared. Jiang Zhen saw that Qin Mo did not
If he had any questions, he called him to his side and discussed the strategy of northwest Shanxi with Li Yan.
But what Jiang Zhen and Li Yan didn't know at this time was that just when they thought the whole plan was perfect, a huge and unpredictable trouble was approaching them, and the main source of this trouble was that they were standing aside.
Qin Qin, who listened to Li Yan explaining the entire battle plan,
Mo, because what Qin Mo was thinking at this time was not to wait for specific information about the Japanese stronghold before sending troops to encircle and suppress it with Li Yan and Jiang Zhen, but to send his two regiments to the northwest road of Xishan before that.
Carrying out a sneak attack, Qin Mo's heart at this time was not only revenge, but also revenge.
