Commander Chen smiled and said: "It's rare that you still have such confidence, it seems that nothing will be difficult for you, but the telegram from the headquarters only said that the 14th Division and other three divisions are secretly assembling, and it seems that there is a big move."
But we haven't gotten exact information yet, proving that they are coming towards Niangziguan, maybe they are going to Jinbei, their original plan is to rush to Taiyuan, and then counterattack Jinbei. ”"Of course, it's also possible."
Li Guotao nodded and said, "But we must prepare for the worst." ”"Hmm" Commander Chen nodded with a look of approval and asked, "Then what is your worst plan" Li Guotao smiled and said: "Actually, it's very simple, although we can't be sure now whether the 14th Division is coming for Niangzi, but one thing is certain."
That is, the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade and the 8th Independent Mixed Brigade must be coming for Niangzi.Therefore, no matter whether the three divisions in Taiyuan come or not, there is only one independent eighth mixed brigade to the east of Niangzi Pass, that is, in the direction of Shimen. ”"I see, you mean to kill this independent 8th mixed brigade first."
Commander Chen nodded slightly and said."
Hmm" Li Guotao nodded and didn't say anything more."
Feint to attack Niangzi Pass, encircle the point to send reinforcements, and destroy this independent eighth mixed brigade."
Commander Chen frowned as if he was talking to himself, as if he was talking to Li Guotao, "But after all, this is an independent mixed brigade, not to mention that the little devil has already suffered a loss before, I'm afraid it will be difficult to be fooled again." ”"I'm sure."
Li Guotao said confidently and slowly."
Okay, then that's it."
Commander Chen nodded and said.Although the two have been communicating in a low voice, they have also heard the arguments of the crowd clearly, and the focus of the argument is still around whether to attack Niangzi Pass, and although the argument is very intense, in the eyes of Li Guotao and Commander Chen, none of these people can say anything new.The two had already decided, and Commander Chen waved his hand, directly interrupting everyone's argument, "Okay, don't argue." ”As soon as Commander Chen spoke, everyone stopped arguing, and the venue was quiet again, and Commander Chen said: "Regarding the matter of whether to attack Niangzi Pass, everyone also expressed their opinions just now, and judging from the current situation, there are indeed advantages and disadvantages to attacking Niangzi Pass.Based on everyone's opinions, I have just agreed with Commander Li that we will absolutely adopt the strategy of encircling the point and sending reinforcements, attack Niangzi Pass, attract reinforcements from the Japanese army, and then gather superior forces to encircle and annihilate its reinforcements. ”As soon as Commander Chen's words fell, the participants couldn't help but start whispering, but Li Guotao didn't give them a chance to discuss, and directly took over the conversation, and continued: "We have just received a telegram from the headquarters, and now the Japanese Army's Fourth Independent Mixed Brigade has urgently assembled in Yangquan, and the Eighth Independent Mixed Brigade has urgently assembled in Shimen.In addition, the 14th Division and the 46th and 47th divisions of the Japanese Army are also ready to move.In light of the current situation, Commander Chen and I have agreed that the main force of the Taiyue Military Region will be responsible for launching an attack on Niangzi Pass, while our Seventh Column will be responsible for the task of sending reinforcements, and our goal will be the Eighth Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army. ”As soon as Li Guotao's voice fell, the commanders of the Seventh Column opened their mouths one after another to express their support for this battle plan, and the generals of the Taiyue Military Region had no opinion on this.Commander Chen nodded with satisfaction, glanced at Li Guotao, and seeing Li Guotao nodding slightly, Commander Chen said, "Since everyone is not opposed, then it is decided."
Although our Taiyue Military Region is only tasked with a feint attack this time, we must not be careless, let alone deal with it hastily.We must play the momentum of our Taiyue Military Region, and we must make the little devils think that we really want to take the Niangzi Pass, so that the little devils can rush to support at all costs, and we can take the opportunity to annihilate its reinforcements in one fell swoop.I won't say anything else, and I will concentrate on attacking Niangzi Pass with all my strength early tomorrow morning. ”"Yes," the Taiyue Military Region and the congregation general replied in unison.Then everyone discussed some specific details together, and the meeting ended successfully, and then the generals left the venue and returned to their stations to start preparations.Early the next morning, as soon as the day dawned, the rumbling cannon sound sounded in Niangzi Pass, and the Taiyue Military Region concentrated the main force and began to launch a fierce attack on Niangzi Pass, the Eighth Route Army attacked fiercely, and the little devil bureau was almost desperately defending, and the war progressed quite fiercely.At the same time, Li Guotao led the main force of the seventh column, left Niangzi Pass, crossed the vast mountains, and drove all the way to the east.Li Guotao also mixed in a large number of teams and moved together, wearing a straw hat on his head, which can not only block the sun, but also facilitate concealment, but also kill two birds with one stone."
Commander," a soldier of the Eighth Route Army shouted loudly and ran over, then handed a telegram to Li Guotao.Li Guotao took the telegram and read it carefully, frowned slightly, and then said with a serious face: "Order the troops to speed up and rush to the designated position as soon as possible." ”"Yes" A soldier of the Eighth Route Army next to him responded respectfully, turned around and ran to convey the order."
What's going on?"
asked Ma Zhenguo.Li Guotao said with a serious face: "I just received news that the Eighth Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army has set off from Shimen and is heading straight for Niangzi Pass. ”"The little devil's movements this time are quite fast," Ma Zhenguo frowned and said: "At their speed, if they march overnight, it is estimated that they will be able to reach Jingcheng County tonight." ”Li Guotao nodded and said: "What is the situation of the new Fourth Brigade now?"
"The Jingcheng mining area has been taken, and the main force has completed the encirclement of Jingcheng County, and is preparing to storm Jingcheng County." ”Ma Zhenguo hurriedly replied.In yesterday's battle, after annihilating the 37th Wing and the 61st Wing of the Japanese Army, the new Fourth Brigade did not follow the main force to Niangzi Pass, but stayed in Fengshan for a generation, and this is only a few dozen miles away from the Jingcheng mining area and Jingcheng County."
It's good to order the newly formed Fourth Brigade to launch an attack immediately and take the county seat of Jingcheng in one fell swoop."
Li Guotao said with a serious face."
Yes" Ma Zhenguo responded respectfully, and hurriedly asked someone to convey the order.aa2705221:
