Although there are hidden worries, there is no suitable location in this area, so after Lai Gu Yinan struggled for a while, he still regarded Changle Village as the location of his front-line command.

Of course, Changle Village has a permanent population of five or six hundred people, and the village is quite large. Not to mention mortars, even if they are bombed with mountain cannons, they may not necessarily be able to use the courtyard located in the east of the village as a temporary command center.

What's more, the small courtyard with screens is considered a wealthy family in the village. The courtyard walls and houses are all made of blue bricks, and the house structure is solid. The surrounding windows are covered with wool felt dipped in water. They can both prevent bullets and bulletproof pieces. Unless they are particularly lucky, the people in the house are still extremely safe.

After arriving at Yamashita, I still praised Lai Gu Yoshino.

Changle Village is no longer the command center of the First Infantry Brigade of the Second Mixed Brigade, but the front line command center of the entire Second Mixed Brigade.

Because the Second Mixed Brigade gradually arrived in the Zhuozhang River area, the troops had reached more than 4,000, including two infantry brigades, one engineer squadron, one baggage brigade, and two cavalry squadrons.

Of course, apart from these conventional arms, the one who gives Yamashita confidence to break the current Chinese defense line is the artillery brigade directly under the brigade.

The artillery brigade of the Second Mixed Brigade is not an ordinary artillery brigade. An artillery brigade has 24 75 mountain cannons, twice as many as an ordinary artillery brigade equipped with artillery.

Yamashita Fumi didn't believe what kind of Chinese could block the impact of more than 14 Type 94 armored vehicles by his 24 mountain cannons.

Theoretically speaking, if there were no strong cities and strong walls and insufficient anti-armor weapons, the Chinese army would definitely not be able to stop it.

This has been proven by facts by more than 200,000 troops on the battlefield in North China.

The Japanese army on the battlefield in North China even used an infantry brigade to attack the defense line deployed in a hurry in the Chinese infantry regiment. The infantry regiment was defeated in the entire line after only less than half an hour.

Then, it was because the Japanese army did not dispatch armored vehicles and aircraft, and just used mountain cannons and infantry cannons, they had destroyed all the heavy firepower points of the Chinese.

Therefore, even though he knew that the Chinese had used mortars to beat the imperial infantry who dug trenches with mortars, Yamashita still entered Changle Village under the protection of the cavalry, and began to issue military orders in that small courtyard.

Yamashita Fumiya made full preparations, using the two most elite infantry brigades as his sharpest spears, gathered 14 of the 18 94 armored vehicles he carried under his command, and assisted with nearly 1,000 people from a logistics brigade. The barrels of 24 75 mountain cannons were raised high and aimed at the opposite bank of the Zhuozhang River.

Yamashita also took great pains to protect the artillery brigade. One of the two cavalry squadrons dismounted. Not to mention the guards of the artillery brigade, he even sent the most trusted and elite guard squadron around him.

As the last line of defense of the brigade headquarters, the escort squadron has more than 350 people, and 7 heavy machine guns alone are equipped, which is one of the few Japanese troops that equip heavy machine guns to the squad level.

It is the defense line of this 450-man scale. If the Chinese had not had more than one infantry regiment attacking them, they would have been basically worry-free.

Moreover, there are still three unsatisfied infantry brigades and half of the baggage brigade on the rear wing of the entire vanguard army. The straight-line distance between the vanguard and the rear wing is about 4 kilometers, which also ensures that 24 75 mountain cannons can provide firepower support to friendly forces in both directions at any time.

Yamashita Fumi was very smart. Before he arrived, he was prepared to defeat the Chinese defense line of Zhuozhang River in the shortest time. After all, it was already 4:30 p.m. to arrive at 7 hours from around 9 a.m.

It was dark at the end of May, but it was still not much time left for him.

Therefore, although he acted like a desperate attack, Yamashita still left him with great space for tactical marching, and the positions surrounded by the two armies of the front wing were as high as more than ten square kilometers.

If the Chinese want to surround them, they have to have a longer attack line. Inevitably, in one place or even many places, their troops are weak.

"The mountain is very powerful!" Captain Cheng, who was lying in a bunker in the mountain, looked at the Japanese army's mobilization with a telescope, sighing with a solemn look at the Japanese army.

"Brig Commander, the Japanese army seems to not pay attention to the protection of the flanks! They concentrated a large number of troops on the Zhuozhang River. Are you not afraid that we will rush out of the mountains and seize their way out?" A young staff officer following Captain Cheng asked subconsciously.

But the mature and polite major beside him changed slightly, but soon his expression was as normal.

Captain Cheng did not answer, but turned around and glanced at the young staff following behind him, handed the telescope to the major, and said in a calm tone: "Xiao Zhou, look, and then talk about your opinion."

Wang Xiaoqiang of the 772nd Regiment was finally thick-skinned and seized the Zhuozhang River defense line mission, which was the main attack. In order to ensure that the Japanese army flee northward, the brigade even allocated most of the troops of the guard battalion to them; the 771st Regiment deployed defenses on various high grounds on the flanks of Changle Village, one was ready to attack the Japanese army at any time, and the other was to prevent the Japanese army from jumping into the mountains from here to jump into the mountains; the supplementary regiment deployed defenses on the farther rear wing, which was also to threaten the Japanese army's rear wing at any time.

In order to strengthen the combat effectiveness of each regiment and better coordinate the support of heavy firepower, the deputy brigade commander, chief of staff, and director of the Political Training Department of the 683rd Brigade were all transferred to three regiment headquarters to cooperate with the three regiment commanders to command the operations.

As the highest commander of the 683rd Brigade, Brigade Commander Cheng seemed to have become the most idle person on the entire battlefield. There is a point where Brigade Commander Cheng is very similar to Tang Dao. He would not watch his subordinates fight on the front line, but he was in charge of the field command center in the rear by relying on the telephone and radio station to command the battle. He had to go to the front line to observe the Japanese deployment himself.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! Where is the highest commander? Where is the brigade department? Several staff officers in the command center naturally followed Captain Cheng with the radio station.

Don’t think that the staff officer is a free position, in the 683rd Brigade, but everyone knows the temper of the brigade leader. Only the officer he likes is qualified to be a member of his staff. Once the time is right, he will be deported to the important position.

Let them express their opinions based on the battlefield situation, which is basically an assessment of them again and again.

In other words, these young officers who followed Captain Cheng were the reserve cadres regiment of the 683rd Brigade.

However, Brigade Commander Cheng asked the major officer to say first, but the other few were not too surprised.

On the one hand, this person is the chief of the General Staff Operations Division, and on the other hand, they all know the brigade leader's appreciation for this person.

"Brig Commander, the Japanese seem to have not defended the flanks tightly. Look, here, there is also a 4-kilometer defense line. They have only deployed a few hundred people. It seems that as long as we attack from the flanks, we can block its main force. If we are not good, we can cut the hundreds of people on their flank defense line into several sections and eat them in one bite." The colonel surnamed Zhou stared at the blurred figure of the Japanese army hundreds of meters or even thousands of meters away, but his eyes were a bit solemn.

"But, I have reason to suspect that this is what Yamashita is deliberately."

"Oh? What do you say?" Commander Cheng smiled faintly and asked back.

"If my brigade and friendly forces surrounded an infantry corps, with a 10-1 force comparison, then the Japanese army would undoubtedly poke their necks on our bayonets.

Unfortunately, it is not now. The Japanese army has thousands of troops in Changle Village. If we rushed out of the mountain to try to cut off the Japanese army in half, the Japanese army in Changle Village will likely use their superior forces to counterattack our troops, and even the Japanese army who are still in the rear to guard against our friendly forces will gather their troops.

The troops that I brigade from the mountain are likely to evolve into fighting more with less. At that time, will the 772nd Regiment on the Zhuozhang River defense line watch as friendly troops besieged but can only stay in the trenches, or will they cross the Zhuozhang River to save friendly troops from water and fire?

Perhaps that was what Yamashita wanted most. He might take time to conquer the defense line composed of rivers and trenches and would suffer a lot of casualties, but the Japanese army was extremely confident in this field battle that was separated from fortifications.

What's even more terrifying is that if the flank forces are missing because of mistakenly trampling on this trap, I am sure that Yamashita will definitely organize its main force, no longer target Zhuozhang River as its main target, but instead occupy the high ground here first, and then draw the troops behind the wing to replenish the Japanese troops attacking Zhuozhang River, so as to form a battlefield stalemate within a few days even if we can't break through our defense line." Although the major surnamed Zhou was young, he answered extremely confidently in the face of the brigade commander's question.

The young staff member who just asked the question turned slightly red. He had been following the heads of the headquarters and sent him from the headquarters two months ago. In layman's terms, he came down to gilt. He originally thought that he had followed the heads for a long time and had a wide range of knowledge. Except for the leaders who were the leaders of the regiment, the leader of the regiment was still very fond of, and the rest were not favored.

Especially the young combat division chief, who is not two years older than him, but he is already in the rank of major and is usually valued by the brigade commander.

As a result, after this analysis, as long as someone with a little brain is aware that what they say may be the facts.

They were trying to attack the Japanese, but the Japanese were not easy to mess with, and they also dug up a pit and waited for them to jump.

This is the battlefield. It does not mean that the formation of an encirclement allows you to win firmly, it depends on whether you are surrounded by sheep or wolf.

There is no doubt that the Japanese are more fierce than wolves, tigers and leopards. They must not be careless until the last moment.

"Okay! Xiao Zhou, you said it very well. Although it is not all that I guessed the following article of Zhongshan, it should be not far away! It seems that our small combat stock can no longer accommodate you, the big Buddha!" ​​Captain Cheng laughed and patted the young and mature combat stock leader, and even joked. "Fortunately, Tang Dao's guy called your name at that time, but I refused, otherwise I wouldn't regret it to death?"

‘Even the Tang regiment commander knew him (him)?’, including the staff officer surnamed Zhou, looked at each other by a joke from his brigade commander.

Although the staff officers are all trusted by the leaders of the two levels of the regiment, they follow the leaders anytime and anywhere. To put it more vividly, they are probably the wives of the leaders, and they probably don’t meet the leaders more than they did.

But they are not as outstanding as the front-line chief officials. What do soldiers pay most attention to? In addition to military achievements, they are also very good at military achievements!

These are not something that leaders at all levels can give them. After all, they are just the assistance of leaders at all levels. After winning the battle, the leaders are well-instructed and the heroic soldiers on the front line are really not very important.

Unexpectedly, Tang Dao, who was openly digging the corner of the 683 Brigade with the help of weapons, actually knew this little adviser. That was really strange!

Commander Cheng looked at the staff's reaction and laughed without saying in detail. He was mainly afraid of scaring these young people.

You know, Tang Dao had to use 2 combat defense cannons and 6 heavy machine guns to poach, which was higher than the price of the main battalion commanders, and promised to let this deputy chief of staff of the General Staff of the Four Corps. He was almost moved at that time. Anyway, even a main regiment commander was given away. What's wrong with a small combat leader who exchanged so much firepower?

Besides, when the Four Army Regiment is completely changed to the 80th Army in the future, wouldn’t he just find a way to transfer it back?

However, the brigade commander Cheng, who was very happy, finally withstood such a huge temptation. Tang Dao has always had a very toxic vision. The higher the price he paid, the greater the profit in the later period.

What's more, he was originally very optimistic about the combat chief around him and wanted to reuse him. After Tang Dao said this, he might not have tapped all his potential yet.

Now it seems that he was right to be more careful. Major Zhou almost finished everything he wanted to say, and even the final plan of Shanxiawen was clearly stated. What a strong battlefield insight?

The analysis of the brigade commander Cheng Da and the major staff officer was exactly the same. After arriving at the foot of the mountain in Changle Village and observing the battlefield, he decisively revised his previous combat plan.

It is still the first tactical choice to break through the enemy, but in order to ensure absolute safety, he will pay attention to the high ground on the flanks of the battlefield.

A strong attack is definitely not possible. The battle to pull the nails two days ago has already made him feel like he was lost. It would be better to show the enemy that he was weak and then lead the snake out of the hole, so that he has the opportunity to conquer the high ground on the flanks at the lowest cost.

With those high grounds as cover, even if the Zhuozhang River defense line cannot be broken in a short period of time, resulting in the growing number of Chinese troops surrounding him, he can ensure that the position will not be broken within a few days.

There are still 20,000 people in the 108th Division in Liao County and Licheng. He doesn't believe that those idiots will not be able to arrive here to rescue him in a few days. Once the 20,000 army arrives, I'm afraid the Chinese people are not thinking about siege and killing him the second mixed brigade, but about how to escape.

I have to say that Yamashita Fumi is indeed an excellent army general. He never stands stubborn, but responds to changes at any time based on the battlefield situation. This is actually the best solution he can make when he is in trouble.

It is very dangerous to put all your hopes on the same road.

Unfortunately, he met one of the best students trained in China's highest military academy, and there was also a young soldier who was very eye-catching among the bright stars of China in the future.

Yes, others don’t know, Tang Dao knew that this seemingly ordinary major small-squad leader would be sent by Brigade Commander Cheng to the supplementary regiment as deputy chief of staff. With room to show his strength, this deputy chief of staff, who seemed to be just a gilded deputy chief of staff, won a lot of victory. In just half a year, he was directly transferred back to the brigade headquarters by Brigade Commander Cheng to serve as deputy chief of staff by brigade headquarters for a convincing record, and was only one step away from the head of the brigade department.

In half a year, he was promoted from a small-scale chief of staff to deputy chief of staff, which was a rocket-like promotion, but this person used his victory again and again to repay the old leader who promoted him. Even the one who was far away in the northwest who heard about this matter praised Chief Cheng Lu, saying that he had a keen eye for talent.

In the future, his military position will be side by side with the current commanders of the two main groups of the 683rd Brigade.

However, Tang Dao's behavior of not being able to poach was to do a "bad thing". Chief Zhou, who was supposed to be released two months ago, was left by Chief Cheng for two more months until the end of the southeastern Jin battle.

Of course, this release is not the deputy chief of staff of the supplementary regiment, but the chief of staff of the independent regiment that has just been established and has not yet formed combat effectiveness.

I just don’t know how brilliant light this Chief of Staff Zhou could burst out after obtaining a wider space. This is not something Tang Dao could know.

Destiny is a random stroke of the Creator, no one can speculate. The only thing that can be confirmed is that it is gold, which will shine there.

On the battlefield, there was already a rumbling sound of cannons!

The first tentative attack of the Japanese army on the Zhuozhang River defense line was officially launched at 5:40.

It was still an hour and a half before dark.

The vanguard of the Four Lines Regiment was less than 4 kilometers away from the rear wing of the Japanese army.

Tang Dao, four hours ago, had successfully met with the regiment headquarters.

"Don't give the Japanese army a breathing time, order the artillery battalion to speed up the marching speed and find a suitable position. I want to make Yamashimi despair at this dusk. I want to have a good sleep at night, so don't think about it!" After receiving the telegram from the 683rd Brigade's brigade, Tang Dao's eyes were like lightning, and he issued a firm and cold battle order.

The Four-Road Artillery Battalion now has heavy mortars and no less than 20 mountain artillery pieces from the Japanese army.

This time, Tang Dao won without any surprises. He came up with a simple and crude stick, leaving behind the little flowers to block the enemy at the foot of the mountain.
