Beat the devil with a system

Page 252

In a blink of an eye, half a month has passed.

In the past half month, the Japanese army has been busy secretly building the airport, and dispatching troops around.The little devil regrouped and launched another fierce attack on the Luliang area.

This time, the little devils can be described as overwhelming the Luliang area. In order to take down the surrounding towns of Luliang, the old devil Itagaki even mobilized the most elite brigades under his command to reinforce the Japanese army in Luliang.

The [-]st Brigade of the Japanese Army, the most elite mechanized unit of the Itagaki Division, is also one of the most elite troops of the Japanese Army in North China. This brigade is known as the "Flower of the Army".

The Japanese Army's 000st Infantry Brigade, Regiment, and Regiment originally attacked the Luliang area. Now with the reinforcement of Itagaki's brigade, the total force invested by the Japanese army has reached more than [-].

The army of little devils launched a multi-faceted assault from the towns around Luliang, and the enemy divided troops to attack Fenyang, Jiaocheng, Fangshan and other places.

In the above-mentioned large and small towns, the total number of Chinese defenders is only about 0000. The defenders have suffered heavy casualties in recent days, and the number of defenders has been less than 000.

The frontline commander of the Luliang area is Chen Changjie, the commander of the Central Military Division. He is now in command of Luliang City, and he is also busy deploying troops to re-arm.

In order to consolidate the defenses of Fenyang, Jiaocheng, Fangshan and other towns, he transferred his regiments to support other areas.

At present, Chen Changjie's division is empty of troops. Except for the casualties, there are less than 000 troops who can go to the front line to fight.

The Japanese troops attacking Luliang City were elite brigades and regiments with more than 1 troops.

It was almost impossible for Chen Changjie to defend the towns near Luliang with the strength of his troops.

The two sides fought fiercely in Nanji Town for two days, with more than 000 people killed and injured each. In the end, the devil's alliance occupied Nanji Town with a strong artillery advantage.

Nanji Town is located one kilometer southeast of Luliang City. The location of this area is extremely special. Nanji Town was conquered by devils, which directly threatened the flank of Luliang City.

It can be said that Chen Changjie's troops guarding Luliang were attacked from both front and side, and the defenders were surrounded, and the battle situation was very critical.

Chapter 239 A Bigger Game of Chess

Facing the dilemma of being surrounded by little devils on both sides, Chen Changjie was so anxious that he couldn't sit still in the headquarters. If his subordinates didn't stop him, Chen Changjie would have wanted to go to the front line with a weapon.

As a high-ranking general, Chen Changjie is not someone who loses his position when the military situation is in crisis. The main reason is that he has seen the enemy's true intentions.

The old devil Itagaki transferred the most elite 21st Brigade, the main strategic purpose was to defeat the 22nd Division, and the siege was second.

The Japanese army divided its forces to attack various areas in order to allow the 22nd Division to disperse its troops for defense, thereby breaking down various towns until the 22nd Division's units were completely wiped out.

In addition to attacking Luliang, the Japanese army also attacked Linfen.

If it weren't for Li Hong's foresight, he proposed to let the 22nd Division keep a brigade to resist defense. I am afraid that Linfen would have already been occupied by the 6th Brigade of the Little Devils.

Chen Changjie's troops were in danger, and there were no other troops in the war zone to reinforce them. Even if they were to reinforce them, the little devils would definitely stop them.

At this time, the theater chiefs were discussing in the camp war room how to rescue the 22nd Division.

Two hours ago, Li Hong received a telegram from the war zone, and the war zone asked him to rush to the camp to participate in the military meeting.

As soon as he received the telegram from the theater, he rushed to camp in the theater without stopping.

Li Hong stood at the door, knocked on the door of the war room, and shouted, "Report, Li Hong, the head of the security regiment, has been ordered to come!"

"Li Hong, don't be cautious, come here quickly!"

Wei Boru called Li Hong into the combat command room eagerly.

Wei Boru was indeed a little anxious at this time, the 22nd Division was the most elite combat unit in his lineage.

The situation of Chen Changjie's troops may be surrounded by little devils at any time. It is impossible for anyone to be calm and not care at such a time!

Beside a sand table map, more than a dozen senior generals stood around.

The expressions of these generals are complex, with anxiety, worry, and sternness.

Li Hong strode to the side of the sand table map and saluted all the generals.

Xiao Yuehua, the director of the war room, briefed Li Hong about the war in the Luliang area.

In terms of military rank and position, an officer who can guide military affairs in the battalion and war room must be at least at the division level, and Li Hong is just an exception.

Chen Tingxiao looked at Li Hong, and said with a serious expression, "Li Hong, the 22nd Division was besieged by the Japanese 21st Brigade and the 113th Regiment in Luliang. The 22nd Division is currently in a critical situation. Do you have any good strategies to rescue them? "

Li Hong's eyes turned to the sand table map, and at the same time, he was thinking carefully in his mind, analyzing the distribution map of the situation of the enemy and ourselves.

Judging from the current situation of the 22nd Division, Chen Changjie's troops have only two options. One is to give an order to retreat immediately, and the other is to fight the little devil to the end and stand by for help.

In Li Hong's view, the results of these two choices are the same. The little devils have a large number of troops and a fierce attack, and the Lvliang area will fall one after another.

The generals just now have been discussing for a while. Some advocated to retreat and transfer immediately while the 22nd Division still has combat power, and some insisted that the 22nd Division stand firm and wait for help.

Once Chen Changjie's troops retreated, a large number of towns would fall. If they continued to hold on, the 6th Brigade of the Little Devils would definitely mobilize troops to stop them.

Li Hong thought for a moment, and said rigorously, "Sirs, with all due respect, the two methods of retreating and waiting for help are not advisable."

His words were astonishing, and he refuted and overturned all the general's claims and opinions.

The generals looked sideways and looked at Li Hong in surprise, they wanted to hear what Li Hong had to say.

Li Hong turned around and took the baton from a lieutenant. Immediately, he held the baton and pointed to the sand table map, expressing his views on the battle situation with quick thinking.

"Seniors, please take a look. This is the 6th Brigade of the Japanese Army that attacked Linfen. This is the location of the 21st Brigade and the 113th Regiment that attacked Luliang Town, as well as the location of Commander Chen's troops."

He pointed at the distribution points of these troops on the sand table map with his baton, paused for a few seconds, and then continued talking.

"Old Devil Itagaki played very cleverly in this game of chess. The 6th Brigade's attack on Linfen was like a nail embedded in the front of our defense zone. In fact, the enemy has two military campaign objectives. One is to restrain and absorb our troops, and the other is to At any time, we can block and cut off our troops to reinforce Luliang."

After hearing Li Hong's opinion, the officers nodded in agreement with such analysis.

At this moment, Li Hong put his strategic vision far away. He was not only considering the Luliang battle, but the overall strategy of the entire central, western and southern regions of Shanxi.

Wei Boru seemed to see what Li Hong was worried about, and he said in a calm tone, "Li Hong, if you have anything to say, you can speak up, don't worry too much."

Li Hong looked at the generals, and slowly said, "Sirs, you little devils are playing chess. If you want to play a bigger game, I don't know if you dare to trust me with the chessboard and chess pieces."

The chessboard and chess pieces he mentioned meant military command and strength, and the generals present knew what they meant without explaining it clearly.

With a solemn face, Wei Boru said loudly, "You, Li Hong, have any grand plans and strategies, just tell me, and I, Wei Boru, will give you the chessboard and chess pieces!"

What Li Hong wanted was Wei Boru's words.

He picked up the baton again, pointed to the map and analyzed, "Sirs, if you want to reinforce the 22nd Division, you must first deploy heavy troops to surround the Japanese 6th Brigade. On the contrary, the Japanese army attacking Luliang would in turn reinforce the besieged 6th Brigade, and this siege of Wei and rescue of Zhao was the first tactic.”
