Li Guotao shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I don't think so, judging from the current situation, this little devil is very cautious, so it will be difficult for us to find a chance to start." ”Political Commissar Meng nodded and said: "And although the little devils of the Fourth Division are slow, the little devils of the other three divisions are very fast, and it is estimated that they will be able to rush to Taiyuan soon, and then prepare to counterattack the northern Jinbei region."
If the commander of our seventh column is contained here by this fourth division, it will be extremely unfavorable to our campaign to defend northern Jin. ”Ma Zhenguo frowned and thought for a while and said: "Why don't we start in advance, there is only one wing of devils in Niangzi Pass at present, and the other little devils are slow to move, and they can't rush to Niangzi Pass for the time being, so it's better for us to destroy this little devil first." ”Li Guotao shook his head and said: "The terrain around Niangzi Pass is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack.Don't look at the combat effectiveness of this fourth division, but their weapons and equipment are really good, and their firepower is also very ferocious.Once we besiege Niangzi Pass, the little devil is helpless, and the situation is desperate, and we may not be able to get benefits. ”Political Commissar Meng nodded and said: "What Guo Tao said makes sense, although this Fourth Division is a well-known wasted division, but if it is forced to be urgent, it will also fight with us."
The terrain near Niangzi Pass is dangerous, and the devils have built a large number of fortifications in order to defend the station, so this Niangzi Pass is indeed not an ideal battlefield. ”"Then what should I do, I can't wait like this," Ma Zhenguo said with a frown.Li Guotao couldn't help frowning, if he waited like this, it was indeed not a way, if the time dragged on for too long, there would be no benefit to the Eighth Route Army.Li Guotao turned his gaze to the area east of Niangziguan on the sand table, frowned and said: "Zhenguo is right, we can't wait like this."
The little devil was slow, so we took the initiative to meet it and intercepted the Japanese army east of Niangzi Pass and near Jingcheng. ”Political Commissar Meng frowned and said, "You mean to ambush the Japanese 37th Wing and the 61st Wing of the Japanese army near Jingcheng County. ”"Hmm" Li Guotao nodded and said: "According to the current situation, it will take at least two days for the little devils of these two wings to reach Niangzi Pass, we only need to rush to the east of Niangzi Pass to set up an ambush within one day, and then we can block the little devils of these two wings to the west of Niangzi Pass, and then the camera will annihilate them." ”Ma Zhenguo frowned and thought for a while and said: "But what about the Japanese army in Niangzi Pass, now that the Eighth Wing has arrived at Niangzi Pass, it is estimated that the 70th Wing will also take a train to Niangzi Pass by tomorrow at the latest."
A little devil who walks on the road may deliberately delay time, but a little devil who walks on the railway will not. ”Li Guotao opened his mouth and said: "I have also thought of this, we can ask the troops of the Taiyue Military Region to assist us in the battle together, as long as the friendly forces of the Taiyue Military Region can drag this group of little devils at Niangzi Pass, our seventh column will be sure to annihilate the little devils of the other two wings in one fell swoop." ”Political Commissar Meng frowned and thought for a while and said: "In order to block the Japanese army from entering Shanxi, most of the main forces of the Taiyue Military Region have rushed to the mountains near Niangzi Pass to assemble and stand by, and it should not be a problem to hold back the Japanese army at Niangzi Pass with their strength."
Since this is the case, then this matter is decided, and I will immediately contact the Taiyue Military Region. ”As he spoke, he turned and walked in the direction of the confidential room.Li Guotao glanced at the sand table, and then said with a serious face: "Immediately order the seventh column, except for the cavalry brigade, all troops to immediately advance to the Fengshan area, and must rush to the designated position within a day, and try to hide traces along the way, in case they are discovered by the Japanese army in advance." ”"Yes" Ma Zhenguo responded respectfully, turned around and went to convey the order.After the order was delivered, Li Guotao immediately ordered the headquarters to start preparing for the transfer and marched to Fengshan with the rest of the troops, which was the grave specially selected by Li Guotao for the Japanese army.The next morning, after a day and a night of rapid marching, the troops arrived at their designated positions one after another.Li Guotao set up his headquarters in a village called Taizitou, climbed the hillside at the entrance of the village, and through the telescope, he could clearly see the Zhengtai railway and highway winding between the mountains, Li Guotao held the telescope and observed for a while, nodded with satisfaction and said: "The location here is good, once the war breaks out, you can clearly observe the situation of the entire battlefield."
Moreover, the terrain in this area is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is also a good place for ambushes. ”Ma Zhenguo, who was standing next to him, nodded and said: "The terrain here is really good, we just need to wait for the little devil to send it to the door now" "Woo" The two were talking, and a train let out a long whistle, and then quickly drove towards the direction of Niangziguan.Ma Zhenguo frowned slightly and said: "This is the little devil's special troop transport train, according to the current situation, the main force of the 70th Wing and the artillery wing and cavalry wing directly under the 4th Division have basically rushed to Niangzi Pass, everything is similar to what we predicted before." ”Li Guotao nodded and said: "What is the position of the 37th Wing and the 61st Wing now" Ma Zhenguo said with a wry smile: "These two little devils are really grinding, and they haven't arrived at Jingcheng yet, with their current speed, it is estimated that it will take another day to arrive." ”Li Guotao couldn't help but sigh softly, and said helplessly: "Then we can only wait slowly." ”The little devil's slow movement gave the seventh column enough time to prepare, but if the time dragged on for too long, it also increased the possibility of early exposure.After all, the tens of thousands of troops in the seventh column want to completely hide their whereabouts, and it is really difficult.So the longer the time drags on, the more likely it is to be exposed, but Li Guotao is helpless about this.Thinking of this, Li Guotao's brows furrowed, and he said with a serious face: "Inform all troops to pay attention to concealment, and must not be exposed in advance."
If the little devil notices it, it will be troublesome.After all, this Fourth Division is not other little devils, and if they are too scared to come, then our plan will be a complete failure. ”Ma Zhenguo nodded and said: "I understand, I will definitely strictly order all troops to pay attention to concealment, although we have so many troops, it is impossible to hide from the little devils for a long time, but there should be no problems in a short time." ”aa2705221:
