Thinking of this, Li Yan temporarily put aside the countermeasure plan of the Japanese's large-scale attack on the Western Shandong base area, and instead turned his head to the attack on the Japanese airport just now. After thinking for a while, Li Yan determined that the five Japanese alliances were assigned to
The team's plan to encircle and suppress the Western Shandong base area was not the starting point of Inoue Ichiro's plan. The real plan actually started when he attacked the Japanese airport. It was only then that Li Yan realized that the Japanese had deliberately withdrawn the troops in the northern part of the airport, and then
The purpose of leaving a series of loopholes for you to exploit should be to induce yourself to carry out the plan of blowing up the Japanese bombers alone, and then use a large number of troops to block the exits of the airport, pin you firmly inside the airport, and use
These bombers exchanged their own lives.
But later, because Li Yan did not carry out this task alone, but returned to the base area and led out the entire army to lure out the Japanese soldiers of the two regiments, and successfully achieved his goal by using artillery in the distance, Inoue Ichiro's plan was also
Therefore, it failed, so this encirclement and suppression plan can actually only be regarded as a remedial plan made by Ichiro Inoue in order to save face. However, despite this, Li Yan still did not relax his vigilance, and instead obtained the newly launched weapon from Jiang Zhen.
While reading the telegram carefully, I stretched out my right index finger and drew on the map of Xishan.
In this telegram from Inoue Ichiro's headquarters, Li Yan knew that Inoue Ichiro had guessed part of his plan. He reduced the strength of the troops in the back mountain of the West Shandong base area to half to prevent himself from ambushing in the woods in the north of the West Mountain to prepare for a sneak attack.
Eighth Route Army soldiers, if this is the case, then Li Yan is preparing to withdraw his previous march plan of leading troops to ambush in the woods in the northern part of Xishan Mountain, and instead turn his attention to the back mountains of the Xishandong base area. Judging from the strength of the Japanese troops,
There are a total of five Japanese regiments coming to attack. No matter how Inoue is distributed, there will be an independent Japanese regiment in the end, and the number of people in this coalition is smaller than that of the other two parties, but Li Yan has no plan
He directly led his troops from west to east to forcibly attack the back mountain, because he noticed the heavy weapons that might be distributed by the Japanese in the back mountain.
But when Li Yan thought of the five small steel cannons that had just helped him complete the task, his heart suddenly became enlightened, and he thought that if these five small steel cannons could be used rationally, he might be able to solve the problem behind this mountain.
In view of the crisis, Li Yan thought about it for a while, and finally decided to place the five cannons in the center of the West Shandong base area, with the muzzles pointed at the back mountains. In this way, once there is any Japanese movement in the back mountains, they can immediately counterattack.
In addition, Li Yan was ready to abandon his previous plan of leading troops to ambush in the woods on the North Road of Xishan. Instead, he would focus all his strategic focus on the back mountains of the West Shandong base area. Li Yan believed that the heavy weapons in the back mountains should be for the Japanese.
Portal cannon, if I can lead my troops to kill this unit first this time, firstly, I can relieve the danger in the back mountain, and secondly, I can replace those Japanese soldiers rushing up the hillside and use the terrain advantages to defend against the Japanese soldiers who come to encircle and suppress them.
Now that the matter in the back mountain has been resolved, the Japanese soldiers on the north and south routes are nothing. The next step is for Li Yan to occupy the back mountain of the West Shandong base and use the heavy weapons that the Japanese army had placed on the hillside in advance.
Utilize them and use them all to fight the Japanese. This will make it much easier. Although there is no guarantee that the Japanese will be completely eliminated in Xishan, it can be maintained on defense until reinforcements from the superiors arrive at Xishan.
As soon as Li Yan finished his analysis, he reported his thoughts to Jiang Zhen in full. After hearing this, Jiang Zhen stopped caring about other things. He stood up and waved to Li Yan, preparing to go with Li Yan first.
After exploring the terrain at these locations to get a good idea, Li Yan followed Jiang Zhen out of the combat conference room door and arrived at the gate of the West Shandong Base Area.
The Xishan station where Li Yan stayed before happened to be close to Xishan North Road, and during that retreat, Li Yan also walked through the woods on the east side of the northern part of Xishan. The circuitous route in the southern part of Xishan and the specific topography of the county seat were also known to Li Yan.
After a lot of searching, only the hill behind the West Shandong base was left. Li Yan took Jiang Zhen through the small road in the middle, and went up to the small hill to look around. They found that in the middle
This road is very special because the mountain walls on both sides go straight up and down without any slope at all. It is difficult to see the situation above without tilting your head upwards. The exits on both sides are extremely narrow.
Only three or four people can pass through at a time, and it is impossible to let in the entire army.
Seeing this situation, Li Yan thought that if the Japanese had sent people to investigate the terrain here, they would not only bring heavy weapons. The heavy weapons were actually only used to suppress the troops who wanted to walk this way.
To deal with the soldiers in the middle aisle, you only need to use a large number of grenades, and the back mountain can only be climbed from the east side. It is difficult to get to the top of the mountain from the west side without using rock climbing tools, but this kind of attack
The method is obviously stupid. Due to the weight of the rope, only a few people can come up at a time, and the Japanese can be killed directly with rifles.
Before Li Yan could organize his thoughts, Jiang Zhen, who was waiting on the sidelines, urged impatiently: "Li Yan, if you have any ideas, just tell me."
Li Yan smiled easily, turned to face Jiang Zhen and replied: "Our only way now is to sneak ahead of the Japanese and hide on the east side of the mountain. When the Japanese team goes up the mountain and sets up their heavy weapons, our team will
The troops ambushing in the back mountain will begin to attack the mountain, but this is not the only one attacking the mountain. While attacking the mountain, the five small steel cannons we set up in the West Shandong base area will aim at the Japanese positions and bombard them.
, but we must use up all the artillery shells, because after that, in order to maintain our strength, we have to temporarily leave the West Shandong base area and guard all the back mountains of the West Shandong base area. In this way, even if the other four Japanese troops occupy the West Shandong base area, there will be
The steel cannon is also scrap metal because there are no cannonballs in it."
Jiang Zhen nodded: "Continue."
"But the ultimate goal of the devils should be to eliminate me, so they will not occupy the western Shandong base area for too long, because we have already occupied their heavy weapons by then. If they do not launch a strong attack in time, then we who are guarding the back mountain will have no choice but to destroy me."
These Japanese soldiers are always a threat, so they will eventually choose to abandon the base area and attack the back mountain. If the battle successfully reaches here, we can use the strategies of these Japanese soldiers to deal with them in turn." Li Yan added.
