On the map on the table, Xiaoshi Pass and Bianfeng Pass were circled in red ink, with several arrows marked in the north and south directions. Jiang Xi stood by the table silently, but his eyes were closed.? ???
?? ???
In another corner of the headquarters hall, a group of staff officers were conducting deductions on the sand table, but no one spoke for fear of affecting the coach's thinking.
"Counsel Sun, what's the result of the deduction?" Although Jiang Xi closed his eyes, he could tell that the staff had completed the deduction.
Staff Officer Sun walked quickly to the opposite side of Jiang Xi's table, pointed to the map and said: "Based on the analysis of the battle results and battle loss ratio, the Meng army's attack out of Xiaoshiguan to attack Jinping County is much higher than out of Bianfeng Pass to attack Huashan County. Our staff team
I will definitely choose Xiaoshiguan.”
"Well, any commander will make such a choice. We know it, and the enemy also knows it." Jiang Xi still didn't open his eyes, "How is the situation at Xiaxuan Pass?"
"The 2o1 Division has built a blockade camp, and there are still a small number of auxiliary troops building defenses outside the barracks." Staff Officer Zhang replied.
Jiang Xi's eyes suddenly opened, he tapped his fingers on the table, and said, "Unreasonable! If the Meng army plans to attack in the direction of Xiaoshiguan, they will not leave the Meng 9th Army in Xiaxuan Pass idle. Although there were quite a few troops in Huashan County before,
Although we suffered losses, we still have the ability to attack a division. Our army sent at least two or three cavalry divisions to rescue.
Leaving a chess piece that can contain our troops is not used. Either Meng Jun's coach is dizzy, or she has other agendas and is unwilling to alert the snake. They may go to Bianfeng Pass with a half-day time advantage, plus Meng Jiu
The legion has a total strength of more than 500,000. It is easy to capture a city. If you use some tricks, you will have enough time to capture two cities.
Of course, it is not difficult for the Meng army to go north to Jinping County and capture three or four cities, but after all, it is the territory of Cao State and Qi State, and the Meng Army will not be able to swallow it so easily. On the contrary, no matter how many cities Huashan County captures, it will be
If the Meng Army is monopolized, it can still bury a nail in the central theater. At that time, the enemy can attack Huashan County or Yanling County, and our army will further lose the initiative.
Immediately ask the Nanmo Branch to assist in passing the order. The 8th, 14th, 21st, Lindi 1st, Lindi 2nd and Haitian 1st Army Corps all went south and rushed to Bianfeng Pass. The 211th Division built the Dougou Pass blocking camp.
, the 196th, 197th and 198th Divisions returned to the base camp to rest and recuperate, the 2o1 Division paid attention to Xiaxuan Pass and possible enemy forces in the north, and was prepared to retreat at any time."
Transferring all the troops to the direction of Bianfeng Pass is a risky move. If the enemy goes to Xiaoshi Pass, Jinping County may lose one or two more cities because of this decision, and even the county seat may be lost.
In order to establish prestige for Jiang Zhi, Jiang Xi gave Jiang Zhi the task of dealing with He Lian Yu. In fact, he had been trying to figure out He Lian Yu's psychology and found that she was not good at dealing with political matters. This time, he relied on the strength of the family.
Only then did he solve his worries, so he boldly inferred that He Lianyu did not like to deal with people from Cao and Qi, and further deduced that Meng Jun might attack Bianfeng Pass. He had been looking for information that could convince him, or rather a person.
As an excuse to help him make the decision to move his troops south, the abnormal military situation at Xiaxuan Pass became the most convincing excuse for him.
On the morning of July 21, the rear troops of the 21st Army Corps rushed to the base camp, but they turned back to the direction of Bianfeng Pass without even entering the camp gate. After a whole night, they did not receive a request for help from the Xiaoshi Pass Blockade Camp. The headquarters
It was further confirmed that He Lianyu had led people to the south, Jiang Xi once again used the power of the Southern Demon Branch to issue warnings to the border guards at Guanduguan Camp and nearby cities, asking them to be careful to guard against enemy attacks.
"The first squadron gathers!" Ding Kui shouted and whistled, and Ao Yu stood in front of the camp gate carrying the honorary battle flag "Brave".
In the past two days, the cavalry squadron of the 2o1 Division had been dispatched frequently, trying their best to reduce the scope of activity of the enemy scouts. Zhang Jie, who had gained a firm foothold, began to set his sights on Xiaxuan Pass.
The defenders of Duguan Camp and the defenders of Guan Pass are a pair of happy enemies. Either I am suppressing your eyes and ears, or you are suppressing mine. While the two sides are holding on to their territory, they also have to compete to see who can bully them. Who. When there are more garrison troops at the gate and more scouts can be dispatched to spy on the enemy, it is the Meng army bullying the Shaodian army; when there are fewer garrison troops at the gate and many scouts cannot be dispatched, it is the Shaodian army bullying the Meng army.
As soon as Zhang Jie took back the command of the First Brigade, his ace troops came to ask for a battle that night. Ding Kui asked to go out to camp at night to sweep away the enemy scouts, vowing to make the enemy soldiers blind and deaf by night. Zhang Jie did not refuse this request. Liang Chong had already interrogated the twenty prisoners, including the details of their capture, so Zhang Jie knew that Ding Kui had the ability to fight at night. Zhang Jie had led many soldiers, including many strange ones, and was not impressed by Ding Kui's special abilities. He only valued Ding Kui's ability to complete the military orders he issued, and he welcomed any ability that could help him win the battle.
Ding Kui took the initiative to do work for his subordinates. For him, the easiest way to earn military honors and the lowest casualty for his subordinates in battle was to use his and Ao Yu's mental power to sneak attack the enemy scouts.
A hundred men wrapped in horse hooves were walking in the wild. They could see where the enemy scouts were hiding from a long way away. How many people there were? Did they find their whereabouts? As soon as they took action, they all pinned down the enemy soldiers with lightning speed. On the ground, it was difficult to find even an injured subordinate, let alone one who was killed.
Due to Ding Kui's barbaric night raids, all the scouts sent by the Meng army outside the customs were cleared in one night, which angered the commander of the customs and sent additional patrol teams during the day.
This made Zhang Jie angry, so he simply ordered all the cavalry squadrons to practice in battle and take turns to go out of camp to cause trouble for the enemy scouts.
The two sides had no intention of a big fight, and had a tacit understanding to control the scale of the secret contest to less than three squadrons. In order not to give in in front of the enemy, both sides deliberately found troops of equal strength to fight.
Therefore, the Shaodian Army and the Meng Army each had three squadrons of soldiers fighting in the field from morning to night every day. The fighting ceased as soon as it got dark. The Meng Army really couldn't find anyone to come out to confront Ding Kui at night.
"Everyone should be alert today. The base camp has issued a warning. The main force of the Mongolian army is very likely to move south to attack Huashan County, and the Mongolian army at Xiaxuan Pass may leave the pass to attack us, so it is difficult to predict how many troops they will send." Ding Kui attended a military meeting last night and received a military intelligence notification from the central defense zone.
"Captain Ding, we are very energetic every time we go out with you. As soon as our 'valiant' battle flag is raised, the enemy troops are unwilling to fight us on an equal footing. They either turn around and run away or grab helpers to join us. There is no main force of the enemy army. Regarding going south, I guess it is possible to send a few more squadrons to ambush us today." Sun Lie has been following Ding Kui for a long time, and he has become more confident in speaking.
