Li Guotao and Commander Chen had also had a discussion before, thinking that there were pros and cons to beating the lady, and in the end they did not discuss a substantive result, and this meeting also wanted to listen to the opinions of the audience.Someone opened their mouth to express their opinions, and neither of them spoke, just to hear the opinions of others.After a while, someone finally raised an objection, "I oppose attacking Niangzi Pass, Niangzi Pass is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the little devil has made sufficient preparations, if you want to take Niangzi Pass, you can only attack head-on, which will inevitably cause great casualties to our army."
It is true that our army captured Niangzi Pass and completely annihilated the Fourth Division of the Japanese Army, which is of extraordinary significance both politically and militarily.But because of this, it will cost the lives of thousands of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, and I think the gains outweigh the losses. ”"What you said is not right, how can there be no casualties in the war, if you are afraid of sacrifice, then what are we going to do against Japan, just surrender directly to the little devils."
Someone retorted loudly."
You're stealing concepts.We can make any sacrifice for the sake of victory.But can not make fearless sacrifices, Niangzi Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, once our army launches an attack, the little devil will inevitably send troops to support Niangzi Pass, if we can't take Niangzi Pass in a short time, once the Japanese reinforcements arrive, our army will fall into an extremely passive situation.The total annihilation of the Fourth Division is indeed of extraordinary significance, but now that the main force of the Fourth Division has been annihilated by us, even if we defeat the Niangzi Pass, it will only be to annihilate a few thousand more little devils.Do you think it's worth it if you have to pay the lives of thousands of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army in order to annihilate these thousands of little devils, and even put the Seventh Column and the main force of the Taiyue Military Region into a dangerous situation, nearly 100,000 troops?"
the commander said loudly with an excited face.The venue suddenly became quiet, and after a while, Chang De suddenly said: "If our army attacks Niangzi Pass, the little devil can only send the independent Fourth Mixed Brigade or the Independent Eighth Mixed Brigade of Shimen, or the 14th Division and other units that have rushed to Taiyuan to support, but no matter which force it is, it will take at least two days to reach Niangzi Pass."
Judging from the current situation, we are fully capable of taking Niangzi Pass within two days, that is, before the Japanese reinforcements arrive. ”As soon as Chang De's words came out, he immediately cheered up the group of people who advocated attacking Niangzi Pass, but those who did not advocate attacking Niangzi Pass did not show weakness.Li Guotao frowned slightly, leaned over to Commander Chen, and whispered: "Actually, the key now is not whether to attack Niangzi Pass, but what to do after defeating Niangzi Pass, or what is the purpose of defeating Niangzi Pass, if it is just to eliminate the thousands of little devils who are besieged in Niangzi Pass, it is indeed not worth it." ”Commander Chen nodded slightly and said: "But the matter you told me before, I think the feasibility is very low, because if according to your strategic concept, this is not only related to our Eighth Route Army, but also to the Jin Sui Army and the Central Army. ”Li Guotao nodded and said: "It is indeed a bit risky, and it is indeed difficult, but the difficulty is often proportional to the gain."
If the strategic vision I mentioned to you can be realized, then we will also be very rewarding. ”"It's really very tempting," Commander Chen smiled and nodded, and then changed his words and continued: "But have you ever thought that if you fail, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”"Well, if it fails, it is estimated that our seventh column and the main force of the Taiyue Military Region will not be completely annihilated, and all the old bottoms will be wiped out."
Li Guotao said with a serious face."
It's not that I don't believe in the combat effectiveness of your seventh column, I don't believe in other troops, especially the Central Army and the Jin Sui Army.There's no guarantee that they'll actually go to war, and I'm afraid they're now eager for us and the little devils to have a lose-lose end.And even if it's our Eighth Route Army itself, I'm worried.After all, we have never conducted such a large-scale operation, even the previous Hundred Regiment Battle, although the scale was large enough, but after all, it was only a sabotage battle, but this time it was completely different. ”Commander Chen said with a worried look on his face."
Hmm" Li Guotao nodded and said: "But even so, I still advocate attacking Niangzi Pass, even if we don't take Niangzi Pass, we can also come again to encircle the point and send reinforcements to further consume the strength of the Japanese army." ”"Then do you think that old devil Tada Jun will send that force to support Niangzi Pass," Commander Chen asked with a frown.Li Guotao thought for a while and said: "This is really not good, but one thing is certain, Tada Jun will definitely not abandon the remnants of the Japanese Fourth Division that was besieged at Niangzi Pass, because once the Fourth Division is completely annihilated, he will definitely not be able to afford this crime of not saving him."
So I guess he will definitely mobilize all his forces to rush to the aid of Niangzi Pass, and the independent Eighth Mixed Brigade and the Fourth Independent Mixed Brigade in Shimen will rush to support.Moreover, the 14th Division, the 46th Division and the 47th Division, which have already arrived in Taiyuan, may also rush to support.I think Tada Jun has suffered losses more than once, and I have seen how powerful we are, and I will definitely not just send two independent mixed brigades, which are simply here to die. ”"What do you mean is that the little devil will not only send these two independent mixed brigades, but also one division from the three divisions in Taiyuan, or even three divisions to return to Niangzi Pass together," Commander Chen asked with a frown."
Most likely, I am now looking forward to the little devils only sending one division back to help, and the other two divisions will continue to attack the northern Jinbei region, so that we can defeat this little devil individually.The little devils of the three divisions gathered together, and it was too difficult to deal with. ”Li Guotao couldn't help but sigh softly when he said this.As soon as Li Guotao finished saying this, a soldier of the Eighth Route Army hurriedly walked over and said with a respectful face: "Report to the commander, the headquarters is in an emergency." ”Li Guotao hurriedly took the telegram, read it carefully, and couldn't help frowning.casually handed the telegram to Commander Chen, who took the telegram and glanced at it, couldn't help but shake his head and said, "It seems that you can't get your wish this time." ”Li Guotao thought about it, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile, and said proudly: "I don't think there's anything wrong with this, no matter how cunning Tada Jun is, he will definitely lose this time." ”aa2705221:
