Li Hong fell into deep thought, thought deeply for a moment, and then ordered to the communication soldier: "Send me an order to order all ministries to send additional scouts to conduct reconnaissance and surveillance of all traffic arteries within 15 kilometers of the station, and pay close attention to the movements of the Japanese army. What's the matter?" Report the situation immediately."

"Yes, group seat!"

"Also, in order to avoid delaying the fighter plane, in case of special circumstances, various ministries can act accordingly."

The messenger immediately turned and walked away, and then conveyed Li Hong's order to the various departments of the security regiment.

……

The fundamental reason why the Japanese army has not launched a large-scale offensive to expand the occupied area for so long is the lack of troops.

Of course, the Japanese army was like a jackal that never had enough to eat. The enemy had great ambitions. They mobilized heavy troops from the North China Front Army to swallow up all the cities in Shanxi in one go.

Instead of attacking Shandong and Hebei first, the Japanese army continued to mobilize heavy troops to attack Shanxi with all their strength. In addition to strategic purposes, another purpose was to plunder resources.

As we all know, Shanxi's coal mines are well-known throughout the country, ranking second in the country. From the perspective of economic resources, coal resources alone are enough to tempt the greedy Japanese.

Shanxi's coal reserves are about 1280 billion tons, 16 times that of Japan. In terms of output, Shanxi is about 270 million tons.

Of the more than 100 important cities and counties in Shanxi, more than 50 counties are rich in coal, so every county is fat to the little devil.

According to telegram information, the Japanese army reinforced 3 brigades to the Shanxi battlefield last night. In fact, this information is not completely accurate. In addition to these 3 brigades, there are also 3 first-class Japanese regiments fighting independently.

Taiyuan, where the Itagaki Division of the Japanese Army is stationed.

The 5th Division of Itagaki is the most elite mechanized unit of the Japanese army, known as the Steel Army. With only half the strength of the brigade and a part of the first-class regiment of the Japanese army, it swept over a dozen divisions of the Chinese army and occupied a large area of ​​​​Shanxi.

Itagaki Seishiro is an extremely cunning, greedy, and arrogant Japanese general. Of course, this person has outstanding military skills and a strategic vision. At this time, he is preparing for the next big banner at the headquarters.

In the spacious conference room.

Dozens of senior Japanese military officers were sitting in the meeting room, and Old Devil Itagaki was sitting upright, looking coldly at the officers.

Originally, Old Devil Itagaki could mobilize not many troops to participate in the war, but now he has three more elite brigades and several elite regiments under his command.

The transferred Japanese troops were the 1st Japanese Independent Infantry Brigade, the 6th Independent Infantry Brigade, the 14th Independent Brigade, the 113th First Class Infantry Regiment, the 127th First Class Infantry Regiment and the 143rd First Class Cavalry Regiment.

The total number of the above-mentioned Japanese troops added up to more than 32000. So many Japanese reinforcements came up to make up for the emptiness of the Japanese troops in Shanxi, which was enough to change the battlefield in Shanxi.

The old devil Itagaki summoned so many Japanese army commanders to further plan to invade Shanxi cities and counties.

The head of the 1st Brigade of Devil Infantry stood up and said: "Your Excellency, the Luliang area, Fenyang, Jiaocheng, Fangshan and other places do not have many Chinese troops guarding them. Our 1st Brigade can easily take down these important county towns. "

Soon, the 6th Brigade of the Devil Infantry also stood up and said: "Your Excellency, my suggestion is to concentrate our forces to attack the ancient cities and counties with more strategic value, such as Changzhi, Jincheng, and Linfen. Although these strategically important places have heavy Chinese troops , but if these areas are conquered, it will be equivalent to conquering the whole of Shanxi, and the rest of the counties and towns will be destroyed by themselves."

Wu Teng Xinnan sat in silence. He had heard the stupid attack plan of the two brigade leaders just now, and there was a hint of disdain on his face.

Itagaki Seishiro was also not very satisfied with their attack plan, and then he noticed the expression of Wu Teng Xinnan, an old fox.

"Mr. Wu Teng, don't be silent, tell me your opinion."

Wu Teng Xinnan lost one leg and did not stand up. He thought for a few seconds and said rigorously: "General, occupation alone is not enough to destroy the vital strength of the Chinese army. If we want to end the war in Shanxi as soon as possible, we can only use deep and roundabout tactics to carry out large-scale operations." surrounded."

"Deep and roundabout tactics?"

The Japanese military officers in the conference room looked at Wu Teng Xinnan who spoke surprisingly.

"Yo Xi, what a deep roundabout siege tactic."

Itagaki Seishiro smiled cunningly, and seemed to agree with Wu Teng Xinnan's roundabout large-scale encirclement plan. Then, he stood up and walked to the bottom of the map.

"Everyone, please look at the map. More than half of Shanxi is our occupied area. The heavy Chinese troops are mainly stationed in the southwestern part of Shanxi. If we launch a strategic campaign to encircle and wipe out the Chinese soldiers, we will wipe out most of the Chinese soldiers and the entire The east, west and south of Shanxi will also prostrate at the feet of our Great Japanese Empire..."

After Seishiro Itagaki finished speaking, he drew a large circle on the map with his hand, and then punched hard on the southwestern part of Shanxi on the map, full of ambition.

"Clap clap clap!"

There was applause in the meeting room, and the Japanese commanders all agreed with this grand encirclement strategy!

Next, Old Devil Itagaki began to mobilize troops for a roundabout combat deployment.

……

Two days later, the headquarters of the security regiment.

Just now Li Hong received a report from various departments of the security regiment that in the past two days, there have been Japanese troops moving around on the road, as well as the devil's supply troops.

It is actually not surprising that there are devils active. The strange thing is that the devils are only active in a small group of lightly armed troops during the day.

The little devil acted sneakily and did not dare to march in broad daylight, which only showed what conspiracy the enemy was up to.

Li Hong spent the whole morning in the command post to study and think. He read the telegrams sent by other garrison troops to the theater, and all the garrison troops found a large number of Japanese troops.

Sitting on a large map, he was puzzled, thinking while smoking a cigarette.

It is really puzzling that the Japanese army mobilized many troops and did not launch an offensive.

What military purpose does the enemy have?

After thinking for a long time, Li Hong's eyes turned to the map on the ground again. Gradually, he seemed to understand the enemy's true intentions a little bit.

Just now he thought of a common point of the enemy, the Japanese troops are all interspersed with circuitous movements.

What does it mean that tens of thousands of Japanese troops ran for hundreds of kilometers and interspersed along the Chinese garrison area?

This shows that the enemy is preparing to take a roundabout operation.

The devil's detour route is very clear. Judging from the enemy's movement position, the little devil has opened up a huge encirclement in the southwestern area of ​​Shanxi. This is a deep and large detour.

The success of the roundabout tactics can be traced back to the Western Han Dynasty.

Huo Qubing, a 19-year-old hussar general, once again ran for thousands of miles in the two Hexi battles, interspersed with detours, marched a thousand miles in six days, and wiped out 6 Hungarian enemies.

Chapter 2 A blessing in disguise! (Thank you for the Poetry Dreamers Rewards, add updates, ask for a monthly ticket, ask for a reward!)

Thinking of the similarity between the enemy's plot and Huo Qubing's devious and deep penetration tactics back then, Li Hong seemed to see the enemy smiling ambitiously.

Li Hong stood up hastily, he wanted to inform the theater of the enemy's plot as soon as possible.

"Communication soldier!"

"To!"

"Immediately telegraph the war zone that the Japanese troops are frequently mobilized, and their real combat intention is to implement long-distance raids interspersed with circuitous large-scale encirclement tactics. Beware, beware, beware..."

Li Hong said three consecutive precautions in the telegram, his voice was eager, trembling, and more helpless.

Even if you can see the enemy's intentions, what's the use?
