Li Guotao said with a smile: "As long as we are willing to work hard, even the most powerful enemy can be defeated by us." ”"Hmm" Ma Zhenguo nodded deeply, he was convinced of this.In the afternoon of the same day, Commander Chen and others also rushed to Zhaijiazhuang, and in the evening, Li Guotao, Commander Chen, and other major leaders gathered in a small courtyard in the village and held a simple meeting.Although it was already night, the weather was still very hot, Li Guotao and others sat under the big tree in the yard, each holding a pu fan, shaking gently.Having just won a big victory, Commander Chen was in a very good mood now, and said with a smile: "Now that the little devil has been surrounded by our group in Jingcheng County, and most of the military supplies of the Japanese army have been destroyed, we have also implemented the policy of clearing the wilderness with strong walls, and it is impossible for the little devil to get even a grain of food supply nearby."
In other words, the current little devils have basically fallen into a situation where they are running out of ammunition and food, and even if our army does not attack, the little devils will definitely not be able to hold out for a few days. ”When Commander Chen said this, his words changed sharply, and his expression became serious, and he continued: "However, because the 10th Division suddenly entered Shanxi through Bauhinia Pass, the situation in Shanxi has undergone some changes, so we must solve the battle on the front line of Niangzi Pass as soon as possible, and then wave our division into Shanxi to assist friendly forces in annihilating the Japanese army in Shanxi and completely recover the entire Shanxi Province."
In this way, the strategy of besieging Jingcheng County for a long time and dragging down the little devils will no longer work, and we must do our best to fight quickly. ”"Then storm Jingcheng County, the little devil is now a toothless tiger, even if we launch a strong attack, we can annihilate the besieged little devil in one fell swoop."
At this time, a commander of the Eighth Route Army couldn't wait to speak."
I don't think this move is appropriate, although the little devil has suffered heavy losses now, but after all, there are still about 20,000 troops, if the little devil is stationed in the county and waiting for reinforcements, our army rashly launches a strong attack, even if the little devil can be wiped out in the end, it will inevitably suffer heavy losses."
At this time, another commander of the Eighth Route Army immediately raised objections."
But if you don't launch a strong attack, you won't be able to solve the battle in a short time, even if the little devil doesn't have a grain of food now, he can hold out for another three or four days, they can't afford to wait, we may not be able to afford to wait."
The commander of the Eighth Route Army who spoke earlier immediately retorted.Li Guotao frowned and thought about it, and then said with a serious face: "If you attack Jingcheng County, it is indeed not advisable.But now the little devils are surrounded by us, and the food, grass, and ammunition are almost exhausted, I think the current little devils must be more anxious than us, if we can find a way to attract the little devils to take the initiative to break through and strive to eliminate them in the wild, it will be much easier. ”"Having said that, the little devil is not stupid, and he may not take the initiative to break through."
Commander Chen said with a frown."
I don't think so."
Li Guotao smiled and said, "The little devil is now surrounded by us, and there is no supply support.They now have only two options, either hold on or break through.However, in the vicinity, there is no main force of devils stationed at all, and if the little devils draw troops from other places, they will not be able to arrive in three or two days.But with the current situation of the little devils, they can still hold out for a few days, and I am afraid that if they don't wait for the devil's reinforcements to arrive, they will be dragged down alive.So if the little devil doesn't want to sit still, there is only one way to break through. ”Commander Chen thought about it carefully, nodded and said: "There is some truth in this, but we can't pin all our hopes on the little devils to break through, if they don't break through" Li Guotao was silent for a while, and frowned slightly, he is not Xuandao Gao nor Da Sukazu Tongzhen, let alone Kita Seiichiro, how the little devil chooses, Li Guotao can't be sure.But Li Guotao also knew in his heart that the plan of storming Jingcheng County would not work at all, even if the little devil had just been defeated and his morale was low, but if the Eighth Route Army launched a strong attack, the little devil would definitely not be killed, and would inevitably fight to the end with the Eighth Route Army.Li Guotao was silent for a while, and then said with a serious face: "Then find a way to lure them to take the initiative to break through" Commander Chen looked at Li Guotao, frowned and asked: "Looking at your expression, I have already thought of a way." ”Li Guotao shook his head with a wry smile and said: "The final decision is in the hands of the little devils, we can only do our best, whether we can succeed or not, it is not necessarily." ”Commander Chen sighed lightly and said, "Anyway, there is no other good way now, so let's talk about your method, we can also discuss it and see if it is feasible." ”Li Guotao nodded, and then said seriously: "My method is actually very simple, first of all, the first step, besiege the troops in Jingcheng County, build fortifications on the spot, and put on a posture of long-term siege.The little devils are short of food and ammunition, and what they are most afraid of now is that we will besiege Jingcheng County for a long time and slowly drag them down. ”"Hmm" Commander Chen nodded and said: "What you said is good, but even so, the little devil may not choose to break through, after all, we have tens of thousands of troops, and after today's battle, the devil has suffered heavy losses and low morale, so the little devil may not take the risk of choosing to break through." ”"Hmm" Li Guotao nodded and said: "Commander Chen is right, the little devil may not take this risk, so we must also increase the confidence of the little devil." ”"Increase confidence for the little devil" Commander Chen's brows furrowed even deeper, and he really couldn't understand for a while what kind of medicine Li Guotao was selling in his gourd.Li Guotao continued: "Yes, it is to increase the confidence of the little devil to break through.Now that we have tens of thousands of troops besieging Jingcheng County, the little devils may not dare to risk breaking through, but if we transfer our troops westward into Shanxi, the number of troops besieging Jingcheng County will be reduced, and the little devils see the hope of breaking through, are they still willing to sit and wait for death in Jingcheng County?"
Commander Chen immediately understood, and said excitedly: "You mean to say that we pretend to send the main force to support the Shanxi battlefield in order to lure the little devils to break through." ”Li Guotao smiled and said, "Yes, but not entirely. ”Commander Chen frowned again, and asked with a confused expression: "What do you mean" aa2705221:
