After nightfall, the small group of cavalry sent by the Chahar Independent Regiment returned and once again launched an endless sparrow battle against the Japanese troops stationed in the camp. The Japanese army lacked an effective response strategy and could only deal with it passively.
In the middle of the night, Chang Yong suddenly sent his adjutant to call Minetaro Yoshida to him.
"Yoshida-kun." After the greeting, Chang Yong said in a solemn tone, "You must have seen what has been going on in the past two days. If you can't find a way to break the situation, let alone recapture the Loop, I'm afraid that the entire tenth infantry team will not be able to win." The Third Regiment and the First Battalion of the Independence Mountain Artillery will also be overwhelmed by the opponent."
Yoshida Minetaro nodded and said, "This is exactly what I want to say."
Changyong said: "So, we must find ways to reverse the current unfavorable situation."
Yoshida Minetaro frowned and said: "But the question is, how to reverse this unfavorable situation?"
I don’t know what happened to Changyong. Yoshida Minetaro is helpless anyway. Fight, the Chahar Independent Regiment won’t give you this chance at all. Keep chasing. They are cavalry, but the Japanese army is infantry. How can they run on two legs? Can you survive on four legs? But besides fighting or chasing, is there a third option
There really is, that is, Chang Yong's ingenuity is to repay others in their own way.
Changyong said: "Jun Yoshida, I wonder if you have heard of the allusion of asking you to enter the urn?"
"I've heard of it." Yoshida Minetaro nodded and said, "I think it means treating others the way they treat others."
"That's it." Chang Yong hit the knot hard and said, "Previously, when Xu Rui lured and annihilated Lord Xiao Lin's cavalry, he used bullying tactics. This time, we will use the same method to retaliate against him."
"A tactic to deceive the enemy?" Yoshida Minetaro asked, "Nagaki-san, what's the trick to deceive the enemy?"
Chang Yong smiled ferociously and said: "Xu Rui resorted to the so-called sparrow tactics. He must have thought that we could only stay in the military camp and endure their endless night harassment. In fact, last night , we indeed stayed in the military camp and endured their harassment all night."
Yoshida Minetaro's expression changed slightly and he said, "Chang-kun, what do you mean by this?"
"What I mean is very simple." Chang Yong said in a deep voice, "You lead an infantry brigade to stay here, pretend that the main force of the 13th Infantry Regiment is still here, and deceive and confuse Xu Rui."
"Nani?" Yoshida Minetaro said, "Xu Rui is very cunning, will he be fooled easily?"
"Xu Rui is indeed very cunning, and it is really not easy to deceive him." Changyong nodded and said, "So I will also keep the First Battalion of the Independence Mountain Artillery. You can carry out attacks on suspicious targets outside the camp from time to time. In this case, there is still a great chance of deceiving Xu Rui."
Yoshida Minetaro said in a deep voice: "What happens next? Where are you, Naga-kun?"
"Me?" Chang Yong said ferociously, "I will lead the other two infantry brigades to penetrate the opponent's station. The opponent has sent a small group of cavalry to harass us. Under normal circumstances, these small groups of cavalry can provide enough Early warning, so the Chinese troops staying in the garrison will definitely be very lax."
Yoshida Minetaro frowned and said: "But the problem is, how to deceive the small group of cavalry of the China Army and transfer the two infantry brigades out of the camp without anyone noticing? Then, how to penetrate the small group of cavalry of the China Army and directly Intruding into the enemy's nest?"
The two infantry brigades mobilized nearly 3,000 people. Even if it was night, it would be difficult not to be discovered by the enemy's reconnaissance cavalry. At least Yoshida Minetaro's mind could not think of any way.
"I have already thought about this." Chang Yong said in a deep voice, "Tonight there are very thick clouds, let alone moonlight, there is not even any starlight, so we can deliberately extinguish all the torches and take advantage of the darkness. Move your troops out of the camp and launch a counterattack against the opponent's small group of cavalry."
Yoshida Minetaro was puzzled and asked: "Then what?"
If you extinguish the torch and launch a counterattack, the enemy will also find that it may not have any effect.
Chang Yong said in a deep voice: "Then, when we extinguish the torch for the second time, the Chinese army will think that we are going to launch a second counterattack, but this time, we will not counterattack, but secretly deploy troops outside, at most half a For hours, two infantry brigades can move outside the camp without anyone noticing."
Yoshida Minetaro frowned and asked: "But how to ensure that we will not encounter the small group of Chinese cavalry on the periphery? Once the two sides encounter, wouldn't all the previous efforts be wasted?"
"Probably not." Chang Yong shook his head and said, "Because there are previous counterattacks, the Chinese cavalry must think that we are going to launch a second wave of counterattacks, so they will definitely gather their troops as much as possible. In this way, the peripheral The gap is large, and our attacking troops have a great chance of passing through."
Many times, people are forced out.
Most of the commanders of the Little Devils will attack in a roundabout way, but they never use penetration.
The forms of roundabout and flank attack seem to be similar, but in fact they are very different, because roundabout flank attack basically operates in a line, and the troops attacking on the flank will not go too deep, but penetration is different. The troops who penetrate through are often like a sharp knife. , striding deep into the enemy's hinterland.
Fighting has always been a specialty of the Eighth Route Army.
The Chinese People's Liberation Army and the Chinese People's Volunteers, which are in the same line as the Eighth Route Army, also inherited the talent of interleaving, and were better at basketball than basketball. They performed interleaving to the extreme in the Korean battlefield, the cross-border border, and the Indian border, defeating the U.S. and Vietnamese troops. King Kong, the husband of the Indian Army, was confused and didn’t know how he was defeated even after being defeated.
But now, after frequently fighting against the Eighth Route Army, the little devil has also realized the true meaning of interleaving, and Changyong is planning to put interleaving into practice. Yes, that's right, this time he will fight against the Communist Eighth Route Army's interleaving. This is also another level of asking the king to enter the urn: to treat others in the same way as others.
Yoshida Minetaro was not optimistic about Nagayong's idea, but he also knew that he could not stop it.
At that moment, Yoshida Minetaro said: "Naga-kun, you should lead the Independent First Mountain Artillery Battalion."
"It's really not necessary." Chang Yong shook his head and said, "First of all, this is an intermittent battle. Soldiers need to be very fast, and the Daishan Artillery Brigade will seriously slow down the marching speed. Secondly, according to the information provided by the aviation reconnaissance force, at least Before nightfall, the Chinese army did not build fortifications around the camp. Without fortifications, there is no need to attack the fortifications, and there is no need for mountain artillery, but I will take away the heavy machine gun team of your infantry brigade."
Minetaro Yoshida nodded and said, "No problem."
After the two of them made a decision, they started to act separately.
After a while, the lights and fires in the Japanese camp suddenly went out.
However, the cavalry of the independent regiment on the periphery were not affected at all. They still threw cluster grenades towards the Japs camp through a simple version of the trebuchet. Then about a quarter of an hour later, at least one team of Japs suddenly appeared in front. Fortunately, there was an ambush in front. The guard post fired a warning shot in advance, but in the end it did not cause much damage.
But after such an experience, the cavalry of the Independent Regiment had a cautious mind.
Therefore, when the fire and lights in the Japanese camp went out for the second time, the small group of independent cavalrymen who came to harass them prepared for the rainy day and quickly gathered their troops and moved their positions. However, Li Zhengrong, who was responsible for the harassment during this period, did not know that in the night Under cover, two Japanese infantry brigades were quietly dispatching.
…
Yan'an, Yangjialing.
Chairman Mao had just returned to his home after the meeting when Mr. Zhu arrived.
Chairman Mao smiled and said: "Boss, it's so late, why don't you go back to bed?"
"You're so interested in sleeping." Mr. Zhu shook his head, sat down on the pit, and continued, "I don't know what the situation in the Loop is like now."
Chairman Mao shook his head and said: "Boss, haven't you always had confidence in Comrade Xu Rui?"
Mr. Zhu replied: "Having confidence is one thing, but the actual situation is another. After all, there is no winner yet. Besides, there has never been a victorious general in this life. Zhuge Liang has made miscalculations." When the time comes, how can you be sure that this little guy Xu Rui won't make mistakes due to carelessness?"
Chairman Mao laughed and said: "But we are hundreds of miles away from the Hetao. No matter how anxious you are, it is useless, so you might as well wait for the news with peace of mind. If I am not wrong, there should be news about tomorrow." I’m going back to Yan’an, I’m sure this battle won’t drag on for too long.”
Mr. Zhu also agreed with Chairman Mao’s judgment.
Because the tactics used by Xu Rui in Hetao were actually morning-glory tactics. This was a classic tactic used by the Red Front Army in the Yangsu District. In the first four counter-encirclement and suppression campaigns, the Red Front Army relied on this classic tactic to defeat the White Bandits. Army, so Chairman Mao and Boss Zhu were convinced that once a fighter plane appeared, Xu Rui would not miss it.
But Mr. Zhu is still a little worried, because the most difficult part of the tactic of leading the enemy is the period when the enemy is leading the enemy. If the cow's hooves are stepped on, it will be fatal. The Red Army has not never made such mistakes.
At that moment, Mr. Zhu said: "Having said that, I'm still worried."
Chairman Mao shook his head, ignored Mr. Zhu, lit the candle and began to review the documents.
"What are you approving?" Mr. Zhu pushed the shorter one and said, "Come, play chess with me."
"You have to." Chairman Mao chuckled and said, "The commander-in-chief has given an order, who dares to disobey it?"
At that moment, Chairman Mao asked the security guard to bring the chess set, and then the two men rode horses and cannons on the short table and began to fight. However, Mr. Zhu was obviously out of shape and lost several games in a row.
