Headquarters of the 18th Army

"Although the price of attacking from here is not greater than the previous point, there are too many permanent firepower points here fortifications, and more shells are needed..." The deputy commander-in-chief was looking at the map carefully, analyzing which point to attack from the blockade line, the team's losses can be minimized and the ammunition consumed is also the lowest.

The Chief of Staff was also helping the staff.

Someone came to report: "Report, the 28th Regiment Commander Ding Wei is here in a hurry, and there is an emergency military information report!"

When the deputy commander-in-chief and the chief of staff heard this, they looked at each other and immediately thought of Wu Ze.

Yesterday, Wu Ze had just passed, and now an emergency military situation has come from the 28th Regiment. Ding Wei even came over to report it. This made the Chief of Staff and the Deputy Commander-in-Chief nervous mentally. Don't be bad news.

"Let him in."

"yes."

Ding Wei came in and saluted the Chief of Staff and Deputy Commander-in-Chief: "Hello Chief!"

The deputy commander-in-chief and the chief of staff did not see sorrow on Ding Wei's face, but were excited. The tension in their hearts immediately turned into sorrow.

Ding Wei must have brought good news, and it must be the kind that is particularly explosive.

Xiao Wu just passed by yesterday, did he immediately gain a major gain?

The Chief of Staff looked at Ding Wei: "Ding Wei, tell me quickly, what military information is it?"

"Two leaders, this is the information sent back by the undercover eagle of my 28th Regiment overnight." Ding Wei quickly presented the map and spread it on the table in front of the deputy commander-in-chief.

The eyes of the deputy commander-in-chief and the chief of staff fell on the map and soon became hot.

This is a more detailed map of the fortress village than the headquarters, which marks the defense, troops and some internal situations of most fortress villages.

On this map, the most conspicuous thing is not the large fortresses inside, but a line that is specially thickened with a pen.

This line is not a highway line or a blockade line, to be precise, a lifeline.

The lifeline of the fortress.

In the northwest Shanxi, the precipitation cannot be compared with the south, and the well water supply is limited.

Places like Fortress Village have a huge demand for water. The larger the fortress Village, the more water it needs.

Water is needed to irrigate crops in the fortress, and water is also needed for people and livestock. Water is the source of life in the fortress.

Except for a few fortresses that can rely on the well water to be self-sufficient, other fortresses need rivers to supply water.

And this river supplies water from more than twenty fortresses.

This strategic plan is to cut off the water upstream of the river and make these twenty fortresses lose water supply.

Without water, these fortresses will be destroyed without attack.

Of course, it is not that fast to destroy oneself without attack, but the team of the 18th Army can use methods such as destroying roads and destroying bridges to prevent the Japanese and traitors from transporting water to the fortress.

The weather is so hot now that once the water source of the fortress is cut off, they can't hold on for a few days.

At that time, these fortresses were simply for free for the 18th Army.

As for how to cut off water sources upstream, the method is very simple.

Learn from the Battle of Wanger Mountain and just blow up the river and change the route.

Moreover, the hole should be blown a little bigger or even more, so that the Japanese and traitors cannot repair it in a short time.

Of course, the diverted rivers cannot flood.

The location is also marked on this map, and the diverted river will flow into the Yellow River.

A method to explode a river and divert the route is used for the second time in a row.

Without thinking, the Deputy Commander-in-Chief and the Chief of Staff knew that this must be Wu Ze's plan again.

"Old Peng, Xiao Wu's method is much better than we think of ways from the blockade." The Chief of Staff exclaimed, "We can obtain at least two months of supplies at the lowest price."

"It's not just much more wise." The deputy commander-in-chief focused his attention.

In fact, the deputy commander-in-chief also considered whether to find a way to get supplies from these fortresses. After all, several cannons were seized from the 386th Brigade, and five or six hundred shells, and there were weapons for attack.

But the deputy commander-in-chief gave up after all.

Fortresses like Qiujiazhuang are only small and medium-sized fortresses, and forty or fifty artillery towers and bunkers have been built.

In those large fortresses, there are two or three hundred artillery towers and bunkers.

Five or six hundred shells, it is not cost-effective to use them on them.

In addition, fighting a small number of fortresses is different from Wu Ze's sudden creation of more than twenty fortresses.

If you attack a small number of fortresses, the Japanese will definitely increase their troops to support you quickly. When the Japanese traitors surrounded them from all directions, it is unlikely that they would bring back the seized materials.

Wu Ze created more than 20 fortresses at once, which was equivalent to messing up all this area.

Reinforcements were needed everywhere, and water was short of everywhere. The Japanese and traitors could not gather so much troops for a while. They were in a difficult position and could not put out fires everywhere. In this way, there was great potential for the 18th Army to bring back the seized materials in the chaos.

"Ding Wei, please reply to the Eagle and tell the Eagle." The deputy commander-in-chief turned his head and looked at Ding Wei: "Wu Ze's safety is the most important. If the situation is wrong, let him evacuate immediately. Choose the latter when the airport information and Wu Ze's safety."

In front of us, the materials of the 18th Army can have the opportunity to be temporarily alleviated, but a large-scale attack war is still necessary, and the Japanese airport is still a huge strategic threat.

"Yes." Ding Wei responded and saluted: "Then I'm going back."

"Well, go back and be careful on the way." The deputy commander-in-chief hmmed.

Ding Wei left, and the deputy commander-in-chief and the chief of staff immediately looked at the strategic plan on the map again. The two of them quickly decided and immediately asked the various parts of the 18th Army to prepare immediately.

386th Brigade

"Brig Commander, the division headquarters sent an emergency order." The deputy brigade commander handed the newly arrived order to the brigade commander.

The brigade commander took it and looked happy, laughing: "That's great, this is really great."

The above orders, the division headquarters ordered the 386th Brigade to organize certain troops and sufficient transportation manpower. After the water sources of the three fortresses in the jurisdiction of the 386th Brigade were cut off, they would immediately encircle them and wait for an opportunity to seize the village.

"Brig Commander, if you take these three fortresses, you can seize a lot of materials and food, but there are not many teams from the 18th Group Army who are divided, right?" The deputy brigade commander questioned.

"Didn't you see that the water source of the fortress village is cut off, and this is about to cut off the river." The brigade commander said, "You think the river breaking off only affects the three fortress villages in our jurisdiction."

When the deputy brigade commander heard this, he looked on the map and suddenly widened his eyes: "Brig Commander, there are more than 20 fortresses here. If they are taken down, my god..."

"So, the pressure on our 386th Brigade will be greatly reduced." The brigade commander smiled.

Now, except for the 386th Brigade, the rest of the 18th Army are in difficulty.

The 386th Brigade made a fortune by attacking Heyuan County, and all the troops relied on the 386th Brigade. The 386th Brigade had to raise its belt again to live.

The 772nd Regiment and the 771st Regiment are all fine, and they have a high awareness.

The seized weapons and things should be handed over to the voluntarily.

Li Yunlong from the new group and Kong Jie from the independent group were not very aware of these two players and refused to cooperate without any effort.

Especially Li Yunlong, the new group, even threatened his autonomy, saying that it is OK to hand over part of it, but autonomy must be there and cannot be taken back.

The brigade commander was so angry that he came to Li Yunlong to do important "ideological work" so that he did not delay the headquarters' orders.

Now, once the twenty-two fortress villages are taken down, the pressure on the 386th Brigade will be gone all of a sudden.

"Yes, I can't believe it in the twenty-seven fortress villages." The deputy brigade commander exclaimed.

"You convey orders to the 772nd Regiment and the 771st Regiment to make corresponding preparations. I will go there in person with the New Regiment and the Independent Regiment." said the brigade commander.

The brigade commander can't go.

Li Yunlong and Kong Jie are in a bad mood now, especially Li Yunlong.

The boy's mind was very fast. Once he knew that the water source was cut off, the boy would soon think of the big plan of the headquarters.

At that time, who knows what this kid is going to do?

"Brig Commander, why do I think this plan looks familiar? It doesn't look like the deputy commander-in-chief..." The deputy brigade commander remembered something.

"You remember, just understand some things in your heart." The brigade commander immediately interrupted the deputy brigade commander.

The brigade commander knew what the deputy brigade commander was going to say, and he definitely wanted to say that this method was very similar to Wu Ze's Wangershan victory. Could it be that Wu Ze thought of it?

The brigade commander had intuition, and this must be what Wu Ze thought.

The Deputy Commander-in-Chief and Chief of Staff have been thinking about how to find a solution from the blockade line. This method is mostly Wu Ze's plan.

The 386th Brigade wants to erase Wu Ze's traces, and even the brigade department cannot easily talk about Wu Ze.

"Yes, brigade commander." The deputy brigade commander nodded.

The brigade commander took the guard platoon and rode his horse and set off immediately.

Independent Group

"Li Yunlong, I can't pay back the weapon and equipment now. If you really want it, I'll chop two fingers for you!" Independent leader Kong Jie yelled at Li Yunlong, took out a big blade, and wanted to chop his fingers for Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong stopped Kong Jie's big blade: "Kong Erlangzi, what do I want your fingers to do? Besides, you only want to lower your fingers by hundreds of guns, as well as light and heavy weapon mortars. Your fingers are made of gold, is it worth so much money?"

"Then, then I will chop all my hands to you, this is a complete set." Kong Jie said.

"Kong Erlangzi, don't tell me these useless things!" Li Yunlong took the IOU from Qiujiazhuang's weapons and wandered in front of Kong Jie: "I tell you that since ancient times, I have been killing people to pay for their lives and owing debts. You, Kong, borrowed my weapons and equipment, and if you write the IOU, you have to pay back my weapons and equipment. As for anything else, I don't want it!"

Li Yunlong wants to build an elite army, and the equipment is easy to talk about, and it is basically enough.
