Beat the devil with a system

Page 693

Chen Tingxiao casually found a seat and prepared to take a seat.

"Mr. Chen, you should take my seat?" Li Hong respectfully asked Chen Tingxiao to take the commander's seat.

Chen Tingxiao waved his hands and smiled disapprovingly: "This is a meeting of your security team. I, Chen Tingxiao, are just listening in. What's the harm in sitting aside?"

Li Hong said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Chen, if you sit in the side seat, my subordinates and I would not dare to sit."

"That's right, Chief of General Staff Chen, if you sit by the side, it will be a mess, you should take the chief seat!" The officers of the headquarters said in unison.

Chen Tingxiao is the commander of the war zone, so in terms of military rank and position, he should be in the main position. However, Li Hong is the commander in chief of the battle planning and deployment, so he should be in the commanding position.

Li Hong respected Chen Tingxiao, while Chen Tingxiao treated Li Hong as a kind of humility from a superior to a subordinate.

Chen Shujun saw a group of big men in the headquarters come and go, and then she moved a stool and placed it next to the head of the conference table.

"Father, Li Hong, it's really troublesome for you to give way. Two stools, each of you sit on one side, won't this solve the problem?"

Chen Shujun finished speaking lightly, and left the headquarters under the surprised eyes of everyone.

Now there are two positions at the head of the conference table, which just solved the problem of humility between Li Hong and Chen Tingxiao.

"Xiao Jun, this girl really doesn't understand the rules, and everyone laughed at her."

Chen Tingxiao smiled and sat down at the head of the conference table.

"Hahaha……"

All the officers in the headquarters also laughed.

Not long after, the other battalion chiefs of the security regiment arrived at the headquarters one after another.

Before Li Hong did not return to the second theater, the theater headquarters had a battle plan to retake Gucheng County.

As the chief of the general staff of the war zone, Chen Tingxiao was naturally clear about the deployment of the enemy's troops in Gucheng County.

At the start of the meeting, Chen Tingxiao took the lead and said, "Everyone, according to the accurate information from the headquarters, the 11th Brigade of the Japanese Army and a division of the Puppet Army are stationed in Gucheng County."

The puppet army is known as the designation of a division, but the number of troops is not complete, and the real strength is less than 5000.

The division commander who originally guarded the puppet army in Gucheng County was just a deputy brigade commander of the Northwest Army. The Japanese gave high-ranking officials a generous salary, so he became a traitor and running dog.

Chen Tingxiao took a sip of water, and continued: "There are not many enemies defending the city in Gucheng County. The Japanese and puppet forces are mainly stationed [-] kilometers away from the eastern suburbs of Gucheng County, and deployed in the southern suburbs. The Japanese and puppet troops' southeast defensive positions They are connected to each other and have built solid fortifications. The enemy's defense is more than ten kilometers deep..."

Next, Chen Tingxiao briefly talked about the enemy's number and firepower configuration.

The enemy defenders in Gucheng County have transferred part of their troops to other strongholds, and the number of little devils and puppet troops on the outskirts of the county totaled more than 7000.

The puppet army has about 4000 troops, and the devils have about 3000 troops.

After learning about the enemy's deployment and firepower, Li Hong thought for a while.

Immediately, he stood up and said slowly: "Although there are many enemies in the defensive positions outside Gucheng County, these enemies are not to be feared. Especially the puppet army. If some means are imposed, the puppet army will inevitably surrender and fall apart!"

"Even though our security regiment has fewer troops than the enemy in Gucheng County, our firepower is superior to that of the enemy. With the combat power of our security regiment, it is not difficult to tear apart the outer positions of Gucheng County. In this battle, the enemy is the threat to our regiment. reinforcements from..."

Chen Tingxiao nodded slightly at the side. He very much agreed with Li Hong's analysis of the battle situation.

Chen Tingxiao scanned the officers with a serious face, and said solemnly: "Everyone, based on my analysis, once the battle starts in Gucheng County, it will definitely turn into a big battle. It’s going to be one piece, that’s for sure!”

"Leader Li's analysis just now is correct. The most threatening thing is indeed the enemy's reinforcements. The highlight of this battle is not to attack Gucheng County, but to prevent enemy reinforcements. When the security team attacks Gucheng County, the entire Japanese army in Shanxi will be mobilized. reinforce……"

Gucheng County is an important place on the Shanxi battlefield and has extremely high strategic value. Once the devil loses the county, the enemy will lose the initiative on the battlefield in Shanxi.

Gucheng County is so important, the Japanese Army Headquarters will naturally not abandon this county. If a war breaks out in Gucheng County, the devil troops will definitely come in a steady stream of reinforcements.

The officers of the security regiment knew that the enemy would have reinforcements, but they couldn't guess how many reinforcements the enemy would have.

Li Hong got up and walked out of his position, and stood under a large map.

He picked up his baton and pointed to the dozens of counties and towns around Gucheng County occupied by the Japanese army.

"Everyone, as long as Gucheng County starts fighting, it will undoubtedly ignite the fuse of a battle. The Japanese troops within hundreds of kilometers, as well as the enemies in various strongholds, will come to Gucheng County for reinforcements!

"Roughly estimated, the enemy's reinforcements are at least 5 people, and even the ghost garrisons in Taiyuan and Luliang will reinforce them!"

All the officers in the headquarters were surprised to hear that the Japanese army would have so many reinforcements.

The officers of the security regiment who followed Li Hong had all seen big battles, but this time they were indeed not calm.

In the past, the security regiment was not afraid of the siege of multiple divisions of the Japanese army. That was because it was a defensive battle, and the security regiment had the advantage of the right time and place. Therefore, no matter how many enemies there were, the security regiment could not get any advantage.

This time the security regiment was the attacking side, and they had to divide up their forces to block the enemy's reinforcements.

With the current strength of the security regiment, it is impossible to win this battle.

Chapter 625 Gucheng County Operation Plan ([-])

Even if Chen Tingxiao was able to mobilize two regiments to support the security regiment, it would not be very effective, and it would not be able to stop so many Japanese troops.

After Li Hong finished speaking, all the officers in the headquarters began to discuss.

Due to the insufficient strength of the security regiment, the officers did not have good suggestions for the battle plan.

The closest county to Gucheng County is Ping'an County. Once the battle started in Gucheng County, the enemy defenders in Ping'an County would be able to reinforce them in less than two hours.

Li Hong himself knew that it was very difficult to win this battle, so he didn't know what to do.

If the blocking battle is not fought well, the security regiment's siege troops will be under great pressure, and they will face enemies ten times their own.

Chen Tingxiao saw Li Hong's difficulty, he avoided other officers in the headquarters, and whispered a few words to Li Hong.

After listening to Li Hong, he was immediately enlightened, and his frown that was tightly furrowed became a little relaxed.

Chen Tingxiao knew that Li Hong was pulling mountains everywhere in Shanxi, and he had a good relationship with many friendly army commanders. He could use his connections to seek help from friendly troops.

He really forgot about this relationship at the beginning when he asked his allies to help him.

With Li Hong's influence in the second war zone, as long as he takes the lead in fighting the little devils, the officers and generals who have a good relationship with him will definitely respond one after another.

Take Li Yunlong as an example, if he heard that there is meat for beating devils, even if he disobeyed the military orders of his superiors, he would go into battle.

Chen Tingxiao not only helped Li Hong solve the problem of military strength, but also made suggestions and gave Li Hong some tactical guidance on attacking Gucheng County.

Chen Tingxiao did not have the slightest reservation to help Li Hong. Apart from Li Hong being his future son-in-law, he also proceeded from the overall strategic situation.

The influence of this battle is very great, and the security regiment can only win but not lose. Similarly, the Chinese army cannot afford to lose.

After winning this battle, hundreds of kilometers around Gucheng County will become a Chinese military defense zone. The loss of Gucheng County by the Japanese army is also a strategic failure.
