After the Japanese troops completely withdrew to the Xishandong base area, they quickly sent a small team to take advantage of Li Yan's return to defense and quietly reached around the north gate of Xishan County. They then ducked into a nearby grove and stopped, facing Xishan.
In the direction of the county seat, they began their respective surveillance missions, but before these Japanese soldiers could get their binoculars, Li Yan had already discovered the whereabouts of these Japanese soldiers.
But at this time, Li Yan did not directly kill these Japanese soldiers. Instead, he temporarily left the observation hole at the north gate of Xishan County, jumped back to the ground and came to the reinforcement team, dispatched a detachment of 400 people and killed them.
Take them to the north gate of Xishan County and pretend to be on guard to stop these ghosts.
Seeing this scene, the Japanese soldiers in the woods around the north gate of Xishan County thought that Xishan County had not relaxed their vigilance, so they did not continue to stay where they were. Instead, they returned directly to the Xishan East Base and moved Xishan County
reported the situation to his superiors.
Seeing that the reconnaissance mission of the Japanese soldiers against Xishan County had ended, Li Yan withdrew and returned to Jiang Zhen and Qin Mo, conveying his next plan to them. Li Yan's idea was that after occupying Xishan County, Li Yan
Before the Japanese troops in the Shandong base area attacked Xishan County, they first attacked Jiang Zhen's army.
The troops were divided into two, guarding the east and west sides of Xishan County respectively, taking care of the left and right sides of Xishan County, and allocated two-thirds of the artillery inside the county to Jiang Zhen and Qin Mo's troops. In this way, even if the Japs rushed in again
The north gate of Xishan County will also be slowed down by the fierce artillery fire from three parties.
"What would you do if these Japs broke through our artillery fire and rushed directly to your troops stationed at the north gate of Xishan County?" Jiang Zhen asked. After hearing this, Li Yan first smiled, and then stretched out his fingers in the air.
Xu drew a circle and then slowly explained:
"If this group of Japanese soldiers dare to charge hard, I estimate that by the time they charge to the north gate of Xishan, they will have lost almost all their troops. In this case, you and Qin Mo can lead your troops along with your own troops.
Walk through the woods to the south of Xishan Middle Road
and the northern section, and then took a roundabout way back to the north gate of Xishan County, and made dumplings for these Japanese soldiers with us..." When Li Yan said this, he suddenly shook his head and pointed to the West Shandong base area.
The direction continued:
"But I judge that they will not come. Since these Japanese soldiers can think of using the Eighth Route Army troops at Xishan Nanqiao to contain us and then attack the Xishandong base area, they will definitely think of the situation I just mentioned. This is comparable to
It was much easier for the Japanese to attack in the east and west, so they should not make such mistakes." After Li Yan said this, he turned around and looked at Jiang Zhen and Qin Mo. Seeing that neither of them spoke, Li Yan also fell silent.
There was no interruption in their thoughts.
After about five minutes, Qin Mo first broke the silence in the temporary combat conference room. He first came to Li Yan and nodded, then walked out of the combat conference room, came to his team, counted the number of people, and at the same time,
The wounded were carried out of the team and temporarily placed in the Xishan County Hospital to recuperate. Then they turned back to the team and made adjustments again.
After everything was done, Qin Mo returned to the combat conference room, faced Li Yan and said, "Li Yan, I agree with your plan." Seeing Li Yan nodded, Qin Mo walked out of the combat conference room and led the team.
Advancing towards the west gate of the county seat, and finally stationed at
About five hundred meters away from Xishan County in the woods in Xishan, Jiang Zhen saw that Qin Mo had already started taking action, so he did not delay any longer, but directly led the team to leave the county along the east gate of Xishan County, and stayed on the east side of Xishan County.
Halfway up the hill.
But in the end, Jiang Zhen did not station all his troops halfway up the mountain. Instead, he just pushed three artillery pieces to his position. At the same time, he pulled out a small team to stay in place to guard the gun positions, and then continued to advance north for a while with the remaining troops.
, and were finally stationed in the northeastern part of Xishan County. Seeing that Jiang Zhen and Qin Mo's troops had already left Xishan County, Li Yan quickly sent two scouts to observe the final stationed location of Qin Mo and Jiang Zhen's troops.
After obtaining accurate information, Li Yan returned to the combat conference room, took out his pen and lightly clicked on the two locations on the Xishan map, and then began his own analysis. However, after several thoughts, Li Yan
Li Yan couldn't come up with any perfect attack plan. Seeing this, Li Yan sighed, threw the pen away, and sat back on the chair.
The pen slid down to the map of Xishan with Li Yan's right hand. He quickly jumped a few times at the location of the Xishan East Base Area on the map and made several pen marks on it. Finally, he marked the part of the map with the West Shandong East Base Area.
A hole was poked, and at this time Li
Yan Ye happened to be staring at the map of Xishan, regretting his behavior of throwing the pen around and eventually destroying the map. However, the pen jumping on the map reminded Li Yan that soon, a plan was launched targeting the Xishandong base area.
The prototype of the plan appeared in Li Yan's mind.
When Li Yan thought of this, he no longer cared about the map. Instead, he quickly ran out of the combat conference room, came to the two reinforcement regiment brothers, conveyed his words to them, and ordered them to convey them to the Eighth Route Army stationed around the county.
After hearing this, the two brothers from the reinforced regiment left Xishan County and ran towards the positions of Qin Mo and Jiang Zhen's troops respectively.
Seeing that the two reinforcement brothers had disappeared from his sight, Li Yan came to the reinforcement team and asked for a torch. At the same time, he conveyed his plan to all the reinforcement brothers, and then quickly climbed up to Xishan County.
At the north gate observation hole, he raised his sniper rifle and aimed at the Japanese troops in the western Shandong base area. He observed carefully. Upon seeing this, the reinforcement regiment troops behind him came to the side and pushed several large iron barrels filled with gasoline to the western mountain.
Near the north gate, wait for Li Yan's next instructions.
After a few hours, the sun slowly disappeared under the western horizon, and the sky also darkened. Seeing that the time was ripe, Li Yan turned around and ordered: "Act." The reinforcements of the regiment listened.
So a group of three or five people pushed the gasoline cans next to them.
About three to four hundred meters north of Xishan County, open the lid of the bucket, pour the gasoline inside on the ground, and sprinkle a line slightly along the North Road of Xishan County as a lead. After doing this,
The entire reinforcement regiment returned to Xishan County.
Seeing that the first step of the plan was completed, Li Yan quickly lit the torch in his hand and threw it towards the northern part of Xishan County. The gasoline spilled on the ground in the northern part of Xishan County also started to burn when it encountered the high temperature of the torch. Soon,
The entire North Road of Xishan County was illuminated by the raging fire. As soon as Li Yan saw the light source, he immediately took a sniper rifle and aimed it at the several Japanese soldiers patrolling at the gate of the Xishan East Base Area, and quickly pulled the trigger a few times.
