"Other ways" Ma Zhenguo couldn't help frowning.Li Guotao nodded and said: "If you were Tanabe Shengwu, what would you do in the face of the situation in front of you" Ma Zhenguo frowned and thought about it and said: "Frontal attack, obviously not a good way, if I were Tanabe Shengwu, then outflank" Speaking of this, Ma Zhenguo suddenly understood what Li Guotao meant.Li Guotao nodded and said: "The terrain of Nansha Ridge is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is undoubtedly the most stupid way to attack from the front, even if the little devil has strong firepower, if our army is in danger of defending it, it is not so easy for the little devil to break through our army's defense line."
Therefore, it is undoubtedly the best way to outflank our army's rear road from both flanks, and then attack from both sides.If the little devils succeed in a roundabout, then our army will inevitably fall into the encirclement of the devils, and even if it will not be completely annihilated, it will inevitably suffer heavy losses. ”Ma Zhenguo nodded and said: "It's about to get dark, if the little devils really use the strategy of outflanking, I guess they will probably make a move tonight, detour back to the rear of our army from both flanks, and then launch an attack." ”Li Guotao nodded and said: "Your analysis is very reasonable, Tanabe Shengwu is in a hurry to make meritorious contributions, and he will definitely not delay his efforts here in vain, so the little devil will definitely take action tonight." ”"In that case, we should have prepared early."
Ma Zhenguo frowned and said worriedly.Li Guotao looked at the sand table in front of him and said with a serious face: "At present, the new seventh regiment is responsible for holding the frontal position, and the Anguo Independent Regiment is responsible for covering the security of our army's two wings. ”Ma Zhenguo frowned and said: "Even if we know the devil's intentions now, we don't know the specific detour route of the devil, and our army has limited strength, if we disperse and guard various intersections, I'm afraid it will be difficult to stop the little devil." ”Li Guotao nodded and said: "So we can only adopt the strategy of focusing on defense, as long as we concentrate our forces to block the path that the devils must pass, they will not want to detour back to the rear of our army." ”Ma Zhenguo frowned and said worriedly: "The key defense is to gamble, in case we make a mistake and the little devil doesn't take this road, then everything will be over." ”Li Guotao looked at the sand table in front of him, sighed slightly and said: "The matter has come to this, we can only gamble, if the troops are dispersed, and the little devils concentrate the main force to attack, it will be difficult for us to block them, and it will undoubtedly be more dangerous to do so." ”Ma Zhenguo nodded and said: "Then we should analyze it well, which way the little devil will go, this is related to the life and death of our seven verticals, even if we want to gamble, we can't bet easily." ”Li Guotao nodded, raised his hand and pointed to the sand table and said: "You see in the mountainous area north of Nansha Ridge, although there are a few small roads that can be detoured, most of them are rugged and southward, which is not conducive to the passage of the army.Therefore, it is unlikely that the little devil will make a detour in the north, but we can't be unguarded, but the terrain here is dangerous, as long as we send a small number of troops to strictly guard these intersections, with the local terrain, it is enough to block the devil's offensive. ”Ma Zhenguo nodded and said, "What the commander said is right, so most of the little devils will choose to bypass from the south."
The mountainous terrain in the south is far less treacherous than in the northern mountainous area, and there are two mountain roads that are relatively flat enough for the army to pass through.One way is to take Guanzhuang, Qiaotouling and then go around to Wangguantun.This road is the most recent one, and it is in good condition, and I think most of the little devils will choose this road. ”Li Guotao said with a smile: "You are right, this road is indeed the closest road, but it is precisely because everyone knows that this road is the closest way for the little devil to detour back behind our army, so the little devil will not choose to take this road."
Because the little devils know very well, they know this road, we must also know this road, our army in the Nansha Ridge area to build a defensive line to block the little devils, will definitely guard against the Japanese army outflanking, and be prepared, this nearest road, will inevitably become the focus of our army's defense, if our army set up an ambush in this valley northeast of the bridgehead, with the local terrain to hold on, even if the little devils have thousands of people, it will be difficult to break through this line of defense, in this case, they will definitely not take the risk of choosing this route. ”Ma Zhenguo frowned and thought for a while and said: "Then you mean that the little devil will not choose to take the road of Qiaotouling, but will choose to take the road of Daquan Mountain, but if you take Daquan Mountain, the distance will be farther than Qiaotouling, almost more than forty miles, from the current position of the little devil, it will take nearly one hundred and twenty miles to return to Wangguantun, although the road condition is okay, but after all, it is all mountain roads, and it is almost an impossible task for the little devil to forcibly march one hundred and twenty miles overnight." ”Li Guotao said with a smile: "Forcibly marching 120 miles overnight, although it is a little difficult, but it is definitely not an impossible task, our army has a record of forcibly marching more than 100 miles overnight, we can do it, these little devils can also do it."
And even if the little devil can't catch up with Wangguantun before dawn, at least he can rush to the area of Matun, and at that time, even if our army finds the traces of this little devil, there is nothing to be done, because the road from Matun to Wangguantun can almost be said to be unsafe.At that time, even if our army mobilizes troops and prepares to intercept this little devil, it will be almost impossible.As long as the Japanese army successfully arrived at Wangguantun, the main force of our army was attacked by the enemy on its back, and basically fell into the encirclement of devils, and it can be said that it is even more difficult to break through. ”Ma Zhenguo frowned and thought for a while and said, "What you said makes sense, you mean to say that we will use our main forces to defend the road of Daquan Mountain."
But if the little devil does not take this road, but chooses to take the road of Qiaotouling, then our army will be in trouble. ”Li Guotao frowned and said with a serious face: "We focus on defending the road of Daquan Mountain, but the road of Qiaotouling also has to be defended, I plan to arrange a battalion of troops in this valley in the northeast of Qiaotouling, with the strength of this battalion, even if the little devil really takes this road, it is enough to block the little devil" "The strength of a battalion, is it a little less, if you can't stop the little devil." ”Ma Zhenguo said worriedly."
There is no case, one battalion is enough, just send the guard battalion of the headquarters," Li Guotao said confidently.aa2705221:
