Chapter 376 Gamble
Zhou Xiaoshan was a little lucky and moved the sand table from the command center to an underground bunker. He just took it down and the ancestral hall in the town was also hit by a bomb.
That was the command center of the 122nd Brigade in the morning.
I was in a hurry just now, so I only put the antenna down and moved two telegraph machines.
The telegraph machines that almost stayed were reimbursed.
Chu Tianshu just felt that he was too frustrated. If he hadn't been able to hold back and had to sleep for a short while, he would have to organize a light and heavy machine gun to explode the plane.
"The situation of the 15th Mixed Brigade is almost clear. There are more than 6,000 people, four brigades of infantry are not fully equipped, there are only two squadrons of artillery, 24 Type 92 infantry artillery, and the brigade supports mountain cannons and infantry curved range cannons. Our reconnaissance troops are still on the way. The intelligence sent from the Second World War Zone is still at Niangzi Pass, and someone from the 18th Army is staring at them, and it is said that they are gathering."
Even after only slept for more than 40 minutes, Chu Tianshu felt very energetic.
"Is there any plan? Tell me, why do you want to get him? If you don't come, just let me eat bombs and give you a warning."
Seeing that Lao Chang was about to speak, he simply asked him to speak first and raise his hand.
"Gu'an is surrounded by mountains, and the road follows the mountains. The terrain is very good. The 15th Brigade opened from Niangzi Pass and arrived at our Gu'an. There are at least three places where you can set up an ambush. You can completely attack them."
Zhou Xiaoshan shook his head. An infantry brigade was not the baggage corps that Pingxingguan had in the past.
In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, even the number of the Japanese troops was elite.
In case the information in the Second World War Zone is unclear and the Japanese army carried heavy artillery with a caliber of 75 or above, the temporary positions built on both sides of the highway are not enough to hammer.
Besides, ambushing the elite infantry corps is two different things about the baggage unit.
With the quality of the Japanese army, the response was very fast.
It can exit the ambush circle and exit as fast as possible.
If you cannot withdraw, when you fight back, you can build a temporary defensive position based on the car and even organize artillery to fight back.
If you want to eat the entire brigade of the opponent, the Japanese army's marching ranks will be very long. If the team of more than 10,000 people is pulled up, the ambush circle will exceed ten kilometers, and the firepower will be sparse. Is it still a little bit whether it can suppress the Japanese?
"Brother Chang, ambush battles are not easy to fight. The 15th mixed brigade has more than 6,000 people. To be honest, even if the division is directly under the engineering battalion and the police regiment, you 120th Division will join us, and our troops are only a little more than 2 to 1. Such a large Japanese army, if it is a long snake marching, it would be better if the gunfire sounds, the Japanese army will shrink to the middle artillery and turn into a lump. After encountering an ambush, the Japanese will immediately rely on cars to build defenses and use artillery to fight back. The Japanese army will definitely use poison gas bombs, at most one to two hours, and cannot chew the opponent, the ambush battle will become a tough battle, and the Japanese aircraft group can reach the battlefield. Yangmingbao Airport is specially built to support the Shanxi battlefield. Maybe it will take less than 40 minutes to come. Once the fight becomes anxious, there will be too much casualties."
Yes, if the 122nd Brigade is simply ambushing the 15th Mixed Brigade, it is very likely to win a big victory.
If the organization is meticulous, knock down the opponent's command as soon as possible and cut off the opponent.
The loss may not be too large.
The combat plan should be considered from the worst places.
Japanese aircraft can travel from Xinkou to Niangziguan in 40 minutes. This statement is even a bit conservative, and it is very likely to be a shorter half an hour.
"Xiaoshan, our firepower is not worse than the German mechanics in addition to tanks and artillery, and we also lack firepower?"
"Brig Commander Chu, our mission is to defend Gu'an. After this ambush battle, we will win, but we won miserably. What if the Fifth Brigade behind us attacks us again?"
Chu Tianshu originally agreed with Chang Desheng's playing style. After hearing what Zhou Xiaoshan said, he opened his eyes wide and looked at him.
"Xiaoshan, even if we stick to Gu'an, we still have to eat aircraft bombs. Moreover, it is said that the 15th mixed brigade of the Japanese army has an artillery brigade, and the casualties are even greater when fighting in positional battles?"
Chang Desheng was obviously misunderstood, thinking that Zhou Xiaoshan would fight a dull positional battle like the Central Army and the Jinsui Army in Xinkou.
"What are we guarding? Our 66th Division is dead on the way to charge. Brother Tianshu, let's take the 15th Brigade as bait? Try to transfer the 5th Brigade to kill together."
Chu Tianshu touched Zhou Xiaoshan's forehead.
No fever!
The ambush of the 15th mixed brigade was a headache, worried that it would not be able to fight, the battle became anxious, and the Japanese planes were in danger and suffered huge casualties, so why did they even get involved in the 5th brigade?
Greed shouldn't be so greedy.
In Yongzhou, the 66th Division worked hard for two years, but she really had no fight with the Japanese army and could not compare her strength. Lao Chang still complained in his heart that Chu Tianshu could not withstand this temptation, and his eyes were bright.
"How can we bet on the fact that we can withstand two brigades?"
"The air supremacy is in the hands of the Japanese army. There are bombs, incendiary bombs, and sulfur bombs in the sky. The Japanese on the ground also like to release poison gas. We only have one way of fighting against the Japanese army!"
Zhou Xiaoshan looked at Chang Desheng and slapped his head.
Yes, when fighting during the day, I am afraid that the Japanese planes and such a large unit as the 15th Mixed Brigade will be ambushed. The Japanese Army Air Force will definitely support it.
To put it bluntly, there is not enough attack time.
"You mean night attack?"
"Yes, it's just night battles. Our teachers have good food. The soldiers like to eat pigs and sheep internal organs. In the past six months, night blind soldiers who have been trained at night every three days and food cannot be treated have also selected five main brigades in daily night training. I'm afraid the Japanese army has not done this. Although Japanese artillery can fire flares, it's useless. The night in Shanxi is much brighter than that in Sichuan. The 15th Mixed Brigade, after all, the road from Niangzi Pass to Gu'an, has to pass this fork. This herringbone fork leads to Niangzi Pass and to Hulu Valley?"
“Where is Hulu Valley?”
"here!"
Zhou Xiaoshan pointed to a place on the edge of the sand table and waved to come to Chu Tianshu and Qin Guoliang's chief of staff Qi Jun.
Qi Jun smiled and introduced to them that Feng Tiankui, with a team of hundreds of officers from the 66th Division, inspected the terrain around and set questions for the test.
Finally, let’s talk about Hulu Valley.
China is so big that it has all kinds of strange terrains.
This place was very special. After hearing the common people's talk, they were curious and entered the valley to investigate. The valley was indeed strange. It was wide at first, with an open land behind a mountain, followed by a mountain, and finally a large open land.
The valley is full of cliffs and goats cannot climb up.
The shape of Hulu Valley from above is not particularly regular. The most prominent feature of the entire valley is full of cliff walls on all sides. People cannot climb up the high cliffs around them, and they are locked up when they enter.
Instead, you can climb to the top of the mountain on the right from outside the valley, or even throw stones into the valley from a high place.
What's even more amazing about this place is that the valley entrance blocks the Japanese army inside, and it is not easy to be bombed by planes in the sky.
Qi Jun was shocked by the explanation while pinching the terrain of Hulu Valley.
"But the Japanese army was a local mouse. The textbooks of their non-commissioned officers' schools were clearly written. They could build fortifications when camping at night? They were afraid that the ambush would become anxious, and the battle was even more difficult."
"A gamble, after all, you are not limited by the attack time at night. You can beat him for ten or eight hours. If you can't beat him, you will tear him a few pieces of meat down!"
The biggest gain in Yongzhou was that Chang Desheng learned about the Japanese army. He not only learned a lot of textbooks from several Japanese military academies, but also sorted these textbooks into manuscripts, secretly published, and circulated them within the Eighth Route Army.
"What if they choose to station in a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack?"
"The Japanese army fights like working in a factory. When they start working at dawn and finish working at dark, beat him up and stop their opponents from advancing during the day and let them get together at the place we chose for him?"
Chang Desheng raised his right hand.
"Xiaoshan, I understand what you mean. Let the 15th Mixed Brigade enter from this human-shaped pass, and then block the way back to Niangzi Pass with mines and ambush teams. At night, the 15th Mixed Brigade is defeated. The dense mine array makes him unable to return to Niangzi Pass, so he can only follow the other road of the human-shaped pass and retreat into the gourd entrance. He is using a small number of troops to cooperate with the mountain wall of the valley entrance, blocking the opponent with explosives, mine machine guns, and side firepower, and then waiting for him to ask for help. You go to the Fifth Brigade that came to rescue."
