Yue Weihan said silently that it would be difficult to avoid Japanese aerial reconnaissance by building such two large fortresses.
If it were just a group of bunkers, anti-tank cones and anti-tank trenches, they could be repaired at night and covered with hay or planted with trees during the day, but the huge main body of the fortress was simply impossible to cover.
After thinking about it, Yue Weihan said: "Then let's not build the main fortress for the time being, and build the group of bunkers first."
The reason why Yue Weihan decided to build the main fortress was simply to deal with the heavy Japanese army group. However, the strategic focus of the Japanese army is still on the front battlefield in central China, and it is unlikely to mobilize heavy troops to sweep it. As for the 6th and 13th divisions and the bunker group,
Mine arrays plus anti-tank cones and anti-tank trenches are enough to deal with it.
Liu Yidao: "The little devil is not stupid, he won't just watch us build the bunker group, right?"
"Yeah, that's a problem." Yue Weihan nodded, "It's easy to dodge the reconnaissance planes in the sky. At worst, the officers and soldiers can rest during the day and do construction at night, but it's not so easy to dodge the Japs' ground reconnaissance."
Liu Yi suddenly said: "Chief Commander, I have an idea, but I don't know if it's feasible?"
Yue Weihan resigned his hands happily, and Liu Yi immediately said: "Can we send a few main regiments to Shimen and the counties near Baoding to carry out activities? In this way, the Japanese army's attention will definitely be attracted by these regiments. Wait.
After ten days and a half, our bunker fortification group has almost been repaired, and we will call them back."
"Oops!" Yue Weihan suddenly slapped his forehead and said loudly, "Chief of Staff, what you said reminded me!"
After saying this, Yue Weihan said happily: "We have to send troops, but the main force of the Baoshan Division cannot go."
"What the chief officer means..." Liu Yidao said, "To draw troops from the 181st Division, the New 6th Division and the New 9th Division?"
"It's not about dispatching, it's about dispatching them all!" Yue Weihan said, "Spread out all the troops of these three divisions in battalion units, and occupy all the counties that can be occupied in southern Hebei. If you can't occupy the counties, you will fight guerrillas. This way
There are three advantages: firstly, it can divert the attention of the Japanese army, secondly, it can expand the troops and conduct actual combat training, and thirdly..."
Although Yue Weihan didn't say the third benefit, Liu Yi guessed it.
The troops of the 181st Division, the New 6th Division, and the New 9th Division were dispersed into the southern Hebei Plain in battalion units, which provided the battalion and company-level officers sent by Yue Weihan with an excellent opportunity to take control of the troops.
When dozens of battalions were reorganized, Bi Guangheng, Gao Shuxun and Sun Dianying became polished commanders.
At that time, these three divisions were truly in Yue Weihan's hands.
In fact, after the 181st Division, the New 6th Division and the New 9th Division are divided, it can greatly reduce the logistical pressure on the base area, and at least save rations for 30,000 people, right? As for the defense of the base area, there is the elite Baoshan Division
As long as the troops are there, the presence or absence of these three B divisions really doesn't make much difference.
However, Liu Yi was still a little worried and said: "Chief Commander, this is almost a disguised deprivation of Bi Guangheng, Gao Shuxun and Sun Dianying's military power. I'm worried that they will gather in crowds to mutiny. Of course, with the Baoshan Division here, we will definitely be able to
If their mutiny is suppressed, the strength of the Thirty-ninth Army will definitely be seriously damaged."
"Well." Yue Weihan said, "Your worries are very reasonable, so I have to think of something."
Liu Yi pondered for a moment and suddenly said: "Chief Commander, how about a military exercise?"
Liu Yidao: "The exercise should be conducted in battalion units, and the exercise subject is deep mountain training. The purpose of the exercise is to comprehensively evaluate each battalion's long-distance marching ability under difficult conditions. When the troops enter the mountainous area, an emergency combat order will be issued to allow them to fight.
In the southern Hebei Plain, at that time, Bi Guangheng, Gao Shuxun and Sun Dianying just want to attack, but they have no soldiers left!"
"Okay, let's conduct an exercise, and do it right away!" Yue Weihan nodded happily, "We also need to formally establish a general exercise headquarters, with me personally serving as the general commander, and letting Bi Guangheng, Gao Shuxun, and Sun Dianying serve as deputy commanders.
, we must do enough to make it appear superficial, and we must not let them get even the slightest suspicion.”
At ten o'clock in the evening, the new 9th Division headquarters.
Sun Dianying, Luo Zhenliang and two other senior counselors are playing mahjong.
Those two senior counselors were Sun Dianying's confidants. They were originally the commanders of the main regiment of the new 9th Division. However, with Yue Weihan's order, they were promoted to major generals and became major generals. The vacated position of commander was replaced.
Although Sun Dianying was unhappy with Yue Weihan's people, there was nothing he could do about it. He had to bow his head under the eaves.
"Ninety thousand!" Luo Zhenliang threw out a card and said angrily, "Master, let's go."
"Bang!" Sun Dianying touched 90,000 yuan, and then said angrily, "Let's go? Where are we going? Can we get out?"
"If you don't let me go, I'll fight like crazy!" The senior counselor sitting in Sun Dianying's house said angrily, "I don't believe it. Baoshan Division really dares to do something with our new 9th Division!"
"Fight?" Sun Dianying said coldly, "How to fight? Although brothers have weapons on hand, the ammunition is all in the army's munitions warehouse. Is it possible that you can lead troops to rob the group army's warehouse?"
Gao Shen, who was sitting at His Majesty Sun Dianying's house, stopped talking. He really didn't have the guts to rob the army warehouse.
The munitions warehouse is located in the group army headquarters, and the guard regiment directly under the group army is responsible for the security work. This guard regiment was originally the guard regiment directly under the Baoshan Division. It is well-equipped, well-trained, and has extremely strong combat effectiveness. Although the new 9th Division has four main regiments,
But there is not a single bullet, let alone a grenade, so what are you going to grab?
"Report!" The adjutant's voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
Sun Dianying pushed down the mahjong tiles in front of her, raised her head and said, "Come in."
When the door opened, Sun Dianying's adjutant had strode in with a major officer.
Arriving at the mahjong table, the major officer stood at attention, saluted Sun Dianying, and immediately said loudly: "Headquarters orders that all divisions rush to the wilderness north of the city within half an hour to assemble."
After that, the major officer turned around and left.
Luo Zhenliang said anxiously: "Hey, this brother, you need to gather urgently at such a late hour. What are you doing?"
"Participate in a military exercise." The major officer did not hide it. He told the truth immediately, "The exercise subject is 'fully armed mountain training'. The purpose of the exercise is to comprehensively evaluate the field marching capabilities of each division. Chief of Staff Luo, in the future we will thirty
The Ninth Army Group is about to circle in the Taihang Mountains, and it will be impossible if you don’t know how to march in the mountains."
"That's right." Luo Zhenliang nodded quickly, and then the major officer turned around and walked away.
When the major officer walked away, Luo Zhenliang hurriedly said to Sun Dianying: "Master, what a great opportunity!"
This is indeed a good opportunity. Since they are fully armed, they obviously want to distribute ammunition to individual soldiers!
What is rare is that they have to conduct deep mountain training. Once this unit enters the mountains, it will really be a dragon entering the sea. Is it possible that Yue Weihan can still send a few regiments to follow the new 9th Division at all times? Even if Yue Weihan really sends
Sun Dianying was not afraid of several regiments accompanying him for surveillance. As long as the troops had ammunition, it would be a big deal for the *** mother!
"Send my order!" Sun Dianying shouted, "The troops must assemble urgently!"
The wilderness north of the city.
The exercise headquarters has been set up.
Two high-power diesel generators are making a huge roar, which can be heard hundreds of meters away. A dozen searchlights illuminate the entire camp as bright as day. Under the lights, a dozen logistics personnel are busy setting up the large camp.
A dozen senior staff officers were walking back and forth between the war room and the telecommunications room in front of the receiving antenna of the power radio station.
Outside the headquarters, the 181st Division, the New 6th Division, the New 9th Division and the Baoshan Division have been assembled and on standby.
When Sun Dianying and Luo Zhenliang walked into the headquarters, Bi Guangheng, Gao Shuxun and others had already arrived.
Yue Weihan, who was sitting in the main seat, nodded to Liu Yi. Liu Yi immediately stood up and said loudly: "The commander-in-chief of this exercise will be the commander-in-chief himself. Commander Bi, Commander Gao and Commander Sun will serve as deputy commanders-in-chief."
, the exercise subject is 'Heavily Armed Mountain Training', and the purpose of the exercise is to comprehensively evaluate the marching capabilities of each division and battalion under difficult conditions!"
Sun Dianying was suddenly dumbfounded. He became the deputy commander-in-chief of the exercise, so he could not lead the troops into the mountains.
Next to him, Luo Zhenliang was secretly happy. Sun Dianying was left at the Shenxi Command Headquarters as a bullshit deputy commander. He had the final say over the new 9th Division. After leaving with the troops, he would naturally become the commander of the new 9th Division.
Well, despite Luo Zhenliang's superficial loyalty to Sun Dianying, in fact he still covets the position of teacher.
"The chief..." Sun Dianying asked reluctantly, "Then, who will lead the troops?"
"Take no one with you." Yue Weihan said coldly, "The troops were divided into battalions into the mountains and conducted training according to different routes. As for the officers above the regiment, they all stayed at the headquarters to temporarily serve as the exercise judging panel!"
"Ah?" Luo Zhenliang, who was secretly happy just now, was immediately dumbfounded.
"What?" Yue Weihan said coldly, "Chief of Staff Luo has a different opinion?"
"Uh, no." Luo Zhenliang quickly shook his head and said, "I have no objection to my humble position."
Yue Weihan then turned to Liu Yi and said: "Chief of Staff, please give tasks to each division and battalion."
"Yes!" Liu Yi agreed, and immediately stood up to assign drill tasks to the 181st Division, the New 6th Division, the New 9th Division and the Baoshan Division. In less than half an hour, more than sixty battalions were carrying a basic amount of ammunition.
As well as half a day's worth of dry food, they all set out on the journey. In less than half an hour, the troops all disappeared into the mountains.
At dawn, the troops of the Baoshan Division returned one after another, but the other three divisions were nowhere to be seen.
Sun Dianying didn't pay much attention at first. The Baoshan Division was already stronger than the other divisions, and it was normal to march faster. However, it was not until noon that the other three divisions were still missing. Sun Dianying and others realized that
Something seems not quite right. Even if the soldiers of the Baoshan Division are marching fast, they shouldn't be so fast, right?
