"Commander Li, please tell me your specific ideas and how our army should implement this roundabout tactic." Wang Yizhe said after listening to his analysis.

Li Zhenyuan nodded, reached for a command pole, pointed at the map and said: "First, we must carefully analyze the deployment of Japanese troops and the current enemy and enemy situations in Dingzhou and Tokugawa."

Li Zhenyuan paused and continued: "Looking from the map, the three areas of Dingzhou, Tokchuan, and Yongbyon are the main defense lines of the Japanese army. Our army of 150,000 troops basically attacks the Japanese army in an inverted 90-degree posture.

This line of defense launches an attack.

Among them, Dingzhou is an important city on the east coast, guarding the main transportation route to Pingcheng. Dezhou behind it is the center and support point of the Japanese defense line. As long as our army breaks through from any point in these three areas, the Japanese defense line will collapse.

The terrain of Yongbyon and Tokcheon is relatively high, with dense hills and mountains, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. Therefore, my idea is to mobilize a tank regiment and an infantry regiment to form an assault force and pass through here north of Dingzhou.

Of course, in order to cooperate with the actions of the assault force, the main force of our army needs to attack the Japanese army with all its strength, especially the artillery force, without any reservation, to carry out all-round carpet bombardment towards Dingzhoucheng and the positions outside the city."

When Wang Yizhe, Zhao Zhenfan and others heard this and looked at the map, their eyes were filled with surprise: "Highland 230?"

"Yes, it's Highland 230." Li Zhenyuan nodded.

"The altitude of Highland 230 marked on the map is more than 200 meters. Can our tanks and armored troops pass?" Liu Jianguo, commander of the 203rd Division, asked.

"Commander Liu, please rest assured. Before coming to the meeting, I led my people to conduct a reconnaissance at Highland 230. I found that there is a small road in Highland 230. Although it is a bit rugged, the tank troops can still pass it!" Li Zhenyuan said.

"Oh? There is such a small road? The Japanese don't know about it, right?" Zhao Zhenfan said.

"There are indeed Japanese and puppet troops garrisoned. They are not many, but they have built complete fortifications in the most dangerous places on the highlands. We must defend according to the danger, and we must defeat them if we want to pass." Li Zhenyuan said.

"The enemy is defending based on danger, and the highland terrain is not good for me. If we attack by force, it will probably be very difficult." Liu Guodong said.

Wang Yizhe looked at Li Zhenyuan and said: "Commander Li, you have personally scouted Highland 230, and you are most familiar with the situation. How confident are you that you can break through the Japanese defenses before the Japanese reinforcements arrive?"

"Commander-in-Chief, Li is willing to personally lead the assault force to attack. I can't say how certain he is. But Li will definitely go all out!" Li Zhenyuan stood up and said sternly.

Zhao Zhenfan said: "Zhenyuan is the founder of our tank and armored forces. When it comes to the use of armored forces, except for the commander-in-chief, there is no one in our army who can help him. I think it is feasible for him to lead the team himself."

Wang Yizhe nodded and said: "Then let's do it, Commander Li, you will personally lead the attack, and our other troops will fully cooperate with you."

"Yes. I'm going to get ready now." Li Zhenyuan responded loudly, then turned and left.

After Li Zhenyuan left, Wang Yizhe ordered everyone present: "Everyone, go and prepare. All units must strengthen their offensive. Cover the roundabout actions of the assault troops!"

"Yes!" Liu Jianguo, Wang Tiehan and others agreed in unison, then turned and left.

……………………

More than half an hour later, a tank and armored force and thousands of Northeastern Army infantry arrived near Highland 230, about five kilometers away from the main battlefield.

The night was so dark that I couldn't even see my fingers.

Dozens of tanks led the way and arrived at the bottom of the high ground.

Li Zhenyuan got off the tank and called all the two regiment leaders aside.

"The terrain here is narrow, and tanks can easily be destroyed by the Japanese if they are mounted one by one. So the key lies in your infantry regiment. The tank regiment will provide you with powerful artillery reinforcements!" Li Zhenyuan's words were obviously directed at the infantry regiments.

Long story.

This infantry regiment was transferred from the 203rd Division. Liu Jianguo's subordinates were very motivated. They patted their chests and promised: "Sir, please rest assured. I will definitely open up the passage and clear the obstacles for my assault force!"

"Well, go ahead." Li Zhenyuan patted his shoulder and nodded.

The commander of the infantry regiment is named Zhang Yi. He is about 26 or 27 years old. He is a student of the 11th batch of the former Northeast Martial Arts Hall. The current commander of the Northeast Corps is equivalent to the brigade commander of other troops according to the normal establishment.

He was able to reach this position in his twenties, and he accumulated it step by step by relying on his military exploits. It was not Zhang Xinghan's deliberate cultivation. It can be seen that this person does have some real abilities.

Zhang Yi quickly assembled two infantry companies of about 300 people to form the first wave of attacking troops, and attacked up the mountain road.

Highland 230 is a typical mountain topography. At the beginning, the mountain is relatively gentle and broad, but as you go up, the road becomes narrower. There are protruding rocks on both sides of the mountain, and there is only a path about three meters wide to pass through.

This is the rugged mountain path that Li Zhenyuan scouted earlier.

The team was led by a battalion commander named Chen Xiao.

On a road more than three meters wide, only three soldiers can pass side by side at most.

When they were about 200 meters deep into the high ground, there was a sudden loud noise in front of them, and several illumination bombs were slowly launched into the sky.

Under the illumination of flares, the dark night suddenly became as bright as day.

The whereabouts of more than 300 Northeastern border guards were instantly exposed. The Japanese fortifications were built right in the middle of the high ground, where there was a flat land on the top of the mountain.

The fortifications were built across the top, blocking the path.

When an abnormality was discovered, a Japanese Type 92 heavy machine gun opened fire first, and dazzling flames spurted out from the firing hole of the bunker.

Intense bullets roared towards them, and the three Northeastern Army soldiers at the front were immediately shot, screaming and falling into a pool of blood.

"Brothers, beat me hard!" Chen Xiao shouted angrily.

A dozen Northeastern troops who were near the front opened fire one after another, and the semi-automatic rifles in their hands fired a hail of bullets, heading straight towards the Japanese bunker.

However, all the bullets hit the wall of the bunker and had no other effect except a series of sparks.

The Japanese's Type 92 heavy machine gun was still roaring, and dense bullets poured out like raindrops. Another Northeast Army soldier was shot and fell.

At the same time, other Japanese machine guns on the high ground also opened fire. More than a dozen light and heavy machine guns fired at the same time. The dense bullets criss-crossed, forming a deadly fire network that suppressed the Northeast Army's offensive troops.

Due to terrain restrictions, the offensive troops led by Chen Xiao were unable to deploy. After losing more than a dozen of his men, he had to lead his men back dozens of meters. This was a bend in the mountain road, which was right in the blind spot of the Japanese's shooting.

Not willing to fail, Chen Xiao organized two attacks, but both ended in failure. In less than half an hour, the assault force lost more than thirty officers and soldiers.

The corpses of soldiers almost filled the mountain road.

"Sir, you are humble and incompetent. The attack failed!" Zhang Yi came to Li Zhenyuan and lowered his head.

Li Zhenyuan did not blame him, but led the guards to the forefront in person. He saw that the Japanese on the top of the mountain fired flares from time to time, and more than a dozen dazzling tongues of flame blocked the way forward. This was a dead end.

"Tuanzuo, the enemy's firepower is not very strong, but our offensive troops are limited by the terrain and cannot deploy at all. They can only rush forward in groups of three or two. This is simply a tactic to fuel the enemy. As long as the enemy has enough bullets, we can attack them all.

It won't help if the group fills in!" Chen Xiao complained to Zhang Yi with a gray face and a sad face.

Li Zhenyuan turned his head and said to the messenger beside him: "Order the tank regiment to aim at the top of the mountain and hit those sons of bitches hard."

"Yes." The messenger happily accepted the order and left.

Soon, dozens of tanks rumbled to the bottom of the high ground, adjusted their muzzles, and began to carry out large-scale shelling on the top of the mountain.

"Boom, boom, boom..." The shells dragged long flames and roared towards the top of the mountain.

"Boom...boom..." A violent explosion suddenly occurred on the top of the mountain, and scarlet fire light rose into the sky in the dark night, illuminating the entire highland as if it were daytime.

"Sir, I humbly lead the team to charge again." Seeing the alarming shelling force of the tank regiment, Chen Xiao said eagerly.

"Go!" Seeing Li Zhenyuan nodding, the group leader Zhang Yi waved his hand.

"Come on!" Soon came the shouts of killing officers and soldiers, and then fierce gunfire rang out.

Not long after, Chen Xiao withdrew in disgrace and said, "Sir, no, our shelling failed to destroy the Japanese bunkers."

Zhang Yidao: "It seems that the Japanese have been prepared for such a strong bunker fortification. Unless the Air Force's heavy bombs or the heavy artillery brigade are mobilized, it may be destroyed!"

Li Zhenyuan said: "The order given to us by Shangfeng requires us to break through the Japanese defense line in Dingzhou before dawn and march into Texas. It is impossible for the air force to arrive before dawn. Moreover, even if they can fly at night, the accuracy of these bombers will be poor."

will malfunction.

As for the heavy artillery brigade, it should be daybreak by the time they arrive."

"Then what should we do?" Zhang Yi asked.

Li Zhenyuan thought for a while, gritted his teeth and decided: "There is no other way. Let the tank regiment come up and use tanks to cover it. The infantry and rocket soldiers will follow up and use tanks to block the enemy's gun holes. The rocket soldiers will rush up and destroy them with bazookas."

them!"

Zhang Yi nodded and said: "The power of Bazooka is indeed amazing, but to achieve the effect, you must at least send them within a range of 100 meters or even 50 meters."

Before Zhang Yi finished speaking, everyone understood what he meant.

Li Zhenyuan said: "In order to capture Dingzhou as soon as possible, some sacrifices must be made. Even if I am asked to go into battle in person, I will be obliged to do so."

Zhang Yi and Chen Xiao looked at each other in awe, and at the same time stood up and saluted: "Sir, don't worry, the lower-ranking people will do their best. If they can't win the 230 Highlands, come and see us."

"Well, let's get ready." Li Zhenyuan nodded and waved his hands with a serious expression.

ps: After finishing coding last night, I started to have vomiting and diarrhea in the middle of the night, which lasted for almost a whole night. I went to the hospital during the day and took injections and medicine. I finally felt better. The update is late, so don’t blame me! (To be continued, please search
