The important thing is that the operational plan for the surprise attack on Datong can be supported by the leaders and implemented smoothly.
So Li Yunlong shrewdly chose not to speak.
He had long seen that the same tactics would always seem a little unreliable if he said them himself.
If you let Lao Kong speak, he will definitely succeed. This guy is still labeled as "honest person", "steady", and "has a view of the overall situation"!
Sure enough, when all the cadres' eyes were focused on Kong Jie, who had not spoken much since reporting the intelligence.
The deputy chief of staff immediately said:
"Kong Jie, then tell me what battle plan you and Li Yunlong are planning?"
Kong Jie prepared his words in silence, and then walked directly to the huge military battle map spread out in front of everyone, even covering the entire three Jin Dynasties.
He first pointed out a point on the map with his hand, which was the Huangyadong base area where the Huangyadong Arsenal is located.
"Here, the Huangyadong Arsenal, as the most important logistical foundation of our Eighth Route Army, is the inevitable target for the little devils to attack this time.
Moreover, the Japanese have successfully obtained the intelligence information we intend to release.
Including these days, we deliberately transport some raw materials from Yixiantian Canyon, as well as slag and the like.
The Japanese spies detected these situations and can easily analyze that the scale of the arsenal we built in Huangyadong is quite exaggerated.
So, for the Japanese army, our Huangyadong Arsenal is the most attractive piece of fat, and the little devil must eat it!
So although this battle has not officially started yet, we can almost conclude that one of the core points of this battle between us and the Japanese army is the battle to defend Huangyadong."
After attracting all the attention of the cadres with a few words, Kong Jie continued:
"Except for the Huangyadong area, in this battle, the Japs came with great momentum, and the troops invested were not only the main combat troops of the First Army stationed in Shanxi, but also a large number of elite troops stationed in Mongolia.
So it can be expected that in addition to the Huangyadong area, this battle is likely to also affect the 385 brigade base area, our 386 brigade base area, and even our entire Taihang base area.
Judging from the overall situation, although we have obtained a lot of information about the Japanese army in advance, we have also made adequate responses in advance.
But in the final analysis, our response to the Japanese army's long-planned attack this time is to focus on defense.
Whether we are setting up a net in Huangyadong or waiting in the wings in the base area, this is the case. We are always on the defensive.
After this battle started, the fighting area has always been within the scope of our base area.
In this way, even if we successfully repel the Japanese army in this battle, we may even severely damage the Japanese main combat force.
The Japs can completely retreat to their stable occupied areas, recuperate, and then re-grow their troops.
This kind of passive style of play always makes people feel unhappy.
So as soon as Lao Li and I thought about it, we began to think that since the Japanese had been planning for a long time, they took the initiative to attack us.
In addition to passive defense, why can't we find opportunities for our offense?"
Having said this, Kong Jie, without hesitation, directly picked up the teaching stick in front of the desk and pointed to Datong in the north direction of the map - the fortress in the Japanese-occupied area where many important railway lines intersected.
"Here, Datong, may be our opportunity to attack!"
"If the Japanese attack our Huangyadong, we will destroy the Japanese's Datong!"
When these words came out, they were quite shocking.
In addition to Li Yunlong, who had already reached an agreement with Kong Jie, who was full of excitement, even Captain Wang and Ding Wei also looked stunned.
Good guys, everyone is still thinking about how to deal with this massive Japanese attack!
This guy Lao Kong has already thought about how to launch a counterattack, and he is going to poke the little devil in the ass.
Heading straight to Datong!!!
Of course, this is the particularly open discussion style of the Eighth Route Army cadres in military matters. In the pre-war discussion meetings, all cadres can participate, and they can put forward any thoughts, good ideas and tactics at any time.
Let’s brainstorm ideas!
Therefore, after Kong Jie's insights and tactics were explained, the soldiers were more thinking about whether it was feasible or not, and weighing the pros and cons.
There will never be any jokes or criticism.
Bang bang bang——
There was a burst of applause, but it seemed a bit monotonous for no reason. Everyone's eyes were focused on Li Yunlong's face, but Lao Li continued to applaud without blushing: "Okay, that's great, Lao Kong, the idea of a surprise attack on Datong,
I must support you!"
"Kong Jie, keep talking!" the boss said, ignoring Li Yunlong.
"Yes!"
Kong Jie responded and told all his thoughts:
"Comrades, please look at the map. Based on the relevant information we have detected this time, it is certain that the Japanese will launch an attack on our Huangyadong Arsenal, and the scale of this attack will be quite large.<
/p>
Including the 36th Division of the First Army stationed in Licheng, and three mixed brigades drawn from Yangquan and Taiyuan City.
In addition, the Mongolian troops stationed in Mongolia were sent south from Datong and Baotou for reinforcements.
After a little imagination from the map, we can clearly see that the little devils are going to form a large network from north to south, from east to west, and then use our Taihang Mountains as the third side of the network.
Completely use a large triangular formation to surround our entire Taihang base area in one fell swoop.
So once this battle breaks out, no matter what preparations we make, no matter how we adjust our tactics, we will be able to deal with the Japanese attack.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
It is basically difficult for our main combat troops to escape from the enemy's encirclement net.
This is a very passive thing!"
When the conversation changed, Kong Jie's voice rose a bit, "If it were before, we only had regular infantry, then there would be nothing to say.
It's just that all the frontline troops in our Taihang base area have developed well in recent years. When the Japs come to attack, we can only passively defend. Why should we fight such a useless battle?
Now we have an excellent opportunity.
Lao Li created a rapid reaction force directly under our Taihang, that is, a mechanized combat force.
With the help of a large number of mechanized combat vehicles, elite troops of one to two thousand people can carry out long-distance and large-scale roundabout operations with superior mobility.
Here, Datong!
In order to form a large encirclement network from the north to the south, the Japanese army's main force of the 26th Division originally stationed in Datong, including the cavalry group stationed in Baotou, will advance southward according to intelligence.
Not only that, if the Japanese army wants to transfer the Mongolian troops originally stationed in Datong and Baotou to the south, they must also consider the combat troops of the 120th Division of our Northwest Military Region.
So what will the little devil do?
They will definitely send a considerable amount of troops in advance to blockade the base areas of the Northwest Military Region and block the access to Shaanxi before sending reinforcements to the south.
This means that the Japanese have to mobilize some troops from Datong.
Under such circumstances, the Japanese and puppet garrison originally stationed in Datong has become depleted in strength, which is inevitable.
Not only that, if we want to make a sneak attack on Datong, we will definitely conduct joint operations with the 120th Division in advance. With the cooperation of the main combat troops of the 120th Division, the 120th Division can simultaneously coordinate operations in our Taihang base area and attack the surrounding areas of Datong.
Some counties, towns and towns launched feint attacks.
At this time, in order to stabilize the situation in the northwest, the Japanese had to withdraw some of the troops originally stationed in Datong.
Datong, which was already empty of troops, now has its defensive strength weakened to the extreme.
In this case, if we use our mechanized combat troops to quickly make a large-scale detour, our elite rapid reaction troops will detour northward in a curve, or even bypass the 120th Division base area and detour back to Datong.
Dorsal side.
Then, in the direction of the Taihang base area, the Japanese 26th Division and the Cavalry Group had already moved south for reinforcements, and it was an anxious moment.
Take the opportunity to launch a violent raid on Datong.
In Datong, which is located in the Japanese security zone, the Japanese would never have thought that our army would make a large-scale detour to penetrate a mechanized combat force.
Suppose this mechanized combat force, carrying one or two thousand elites, is like a magic weapon descending from the sky, suddenly appearing in Datong, which is empty of troops.
Even if it is a fortress.
Due to the lack of troops, the Japanese army's reinforcements from all aspects were basically contained.
We may not be able to break through Datong within the planned time and directly attack the home base of his 26th Division.
At the same time, we may also be able to coordinate the battle in the direction of Taihang Base!"
The words that sounded slowly had no special momentum, but the content of these words shocked the military cadres present, whether they were regimental commanders, political commissars or brigade commanders.
I have to say that Kong Jie’s bold fighting style is really surprising.
However, Captain Kong’s words are not over yet!
"In addition, in order to achieve the purpose of raising suspicions, in addition to the cooperation of the 120th Division, in addition to the operations in the direction of the Taihang base.
Once the battle begins, this time we will send a small-scale mechanized combat force to the east side of Licheng to attack Shimen HD in a detour. We will also cooperate with multiple parties to advance the troops and at the same time move toward the 36th Division's logistics base camp——
The direction to Licheng is roundabout.
We have a mechanized combat unit on hand, and the Japs know this. If our mechanized combat unit does not appear, the Japs might still be suspicious.
Then let’s call him.
Once this battle breaks out, Licheng will serve as the most important logistics base for a large number of Japanese combat troops.
Our Eighth Route Army tried every means to sneak attack on the Japanese base camp in Licheng and blow up the Japanese temporary airfield. This is a very reasonable thing.
With this series of large and small cover, in the end, our main rapid reaction force, even if it travels day and night, is enough to circle back to the back of Datong, which is depleted of troops, and catch the little Japanese by surprise!
Beating him is astonishing and earth-shattering!"
Speaking of this, Kong Jie seems to have regarded Datong as his own, and he has even made arrangements for the aftermath of Datong:
"Once Datong is captured, we will definitely not be able to stay for long. As a transportation hub and fortress, the Japanese will take Datong back to us at all costs.
Now is not the time to seize important counties for the Japanese army.
After Datong was captured, the Japanese army's granaries and arsenals were first taken down, and all the large numbers of mechanized vehicles stored by the 26th Division in Datong were taken away.
If the vehicles are not enough, in a county as big as Datong, if we buy more trucks from the people, it will be enough to loot all the supplies, equipment, ammunition, and all military supplies that the entire 26th Division has accumulated for many years. Then the troops can shrink to the nearby Northwest Military Region.
We can even shrink all the mechanized combat vehicles we captured to the 120th Division in the future. They can be used as a common tool to transfer the offensive troops of the 120th Division to any area in the Japanese-occupied area at any time to launch multi-directional attacks.
Attack.
Perhaps we can take advantage of the 26th Division stationed in Datong and the cavalry group stationed in Mongolia to go south and break through the middle line blockade that the Japanese have imposed on our Taihang base area and the northwest region in recent years.
Maybe our two major base areas will be completely connected and integrated into one!"
As these sonorous and powerful words fell,
There was silence in the entire conference room, and the silence could be heard.
A moment later, Li Yunlong, who also looked shocked, clapped Lonely's hand vigorously, and shouted loudly: "Lao Kong, you are really here, it's so wonderful, you are really a genius!"
Kong Jie's plan was really too thorough and thoughtful, which was also beyond Li Yunlong's expectation.
At the same time, Lao Li was very grateful in his heart that he had just determined to build a rapid response force directly under Taihang, and he was thinking about how to fight the first battle to become famous.
No, Lao Kong has given us the most dazzling stage.
According to Kong Jie's wonderful surprise attack plan, only the mechanized combat troops under Li Yunlong can carry out such an arduous combat mission.
Who else?
Therefore, Old Li must support Kong Jie’s battle plan!
The boss, deputy chief of staff, including political commissar, brigade commander, and brigade commander Chen.
To be honest, it would be a lie if you are not amazed by Kong Jie’s bold yet feasible tactics.
Even with their level and vision as commanders, they have to admit that Kong Jie's strategy of using quick reaction troops to surprise Datong, break through the enemy's blockade, take the initiative, and attack the enemy's vital points and heart is simply amazing.
It’s amazing.
Brigadier Chen shook his head in emotion and whispered to the brigade commander on the side: "It is true that a strong general has no weak soldiers, and the big brother is the big brother! Kong Jie's progress over the years is simply amazing!"<
/p>
The brigade commander accepted the flattery without changing his expression.
Kong Jie's amazing performance was naturally beyond his expectations.
But if you think about it carefully, you seem to have become accustomed to it. Has this boy Kong Jie brought you few surprises in the past few years?
