Xu Rui picked up nine soldier models and put them on the sand table, then clapped his hands and said: "I have now put all three infantry battalions into the battlefield. I have decided to eat your three infantry squadrons at all costs!"
"Are you going to risk your life?" Leng Tiefeng couldn't help but shrink his pupils slightly when he saw this.
The dozen "combat staff officers" behind Leng Tiefeng also looked at each other in confusion.
Because after Xu Rui took out these nine soldier models, the only remaining cavalry battalion on the independent regiment's books was Tiegang's cavalry battalion, Niu Dazhuang's machine gun company, and the soldiers and civilians of the county brigade and several district squads. At present, the cavalry battalion
They are still resting and recuperating. Although the machine gun battery is powerful, it cannot replace the infantry in the charge. As for the county brigade and several district squads, it is okay to follow the main force with a strong and powerful voice. It is better to drag them to the front battlefield to fight tough battles as soon as possible.
Take a rest.
Isn't it just desperate to use all the troops?
Although the regiment leader often takes dangerous risks, he never fights with others without being sure.
This doesn’t seem to be a group? Could it be that there is some trap hidden in the middle?
Leng Tiefeng also began to quickly calculate, what kind of killer move is hidden behind Lao Xu?
"Veteran, don't you think I gave you too little bait just now? Now I have taken out all the main forces of the entire independent regiment, and I have the entire regiment dangling under the nose of Kawaguchi Heiji. Do you think the old Japanese Kawaguchi can bear it?
"Xu Rui said cheerfully, "Veteran, you are Kawaguchi Heiji now, can you resist the temptation to attack?"
"I'm afraid I can't help it." Leng Tiefeng shook his head. Although he is not Kawaguchi Heiji, this does not prevent him from making judgments from Kawaguchi Heiji's standpoint. If Xu Rui really brings the entire independent group to Kawaguchi Heiji's eyelids,
Dobbing underneath, it was absolutely impossible for Kawaguchi Heiji to resist the temptation to attack.
This is because as long as the independent regiment is killed, the mopping up operation in Dameishan will be over!
After killing the independent regiment, the safety of Feibeng Highway will be guaranteed, and the Jinpu Railway will be restored soon. By then, the Central China Front Army's northward cluster will have Feibeng Highway and Jinpu Railway as two lifelines, and the Battle of Xuzhou will be over.
With the guarantee, once the battle of Xuzhou is won, Kawaguchi Heiji's military exploits will be indispensable!
Therefore, when the fighter plane appeared, Kawaguchi Heiji absolutely could not refuse.
Even if he knew it might be a trap, Kawaguchi Heiji would probably take action.
Doesn't Sun Tzu's Art of War say that soldiers are crafty? Fighting is inherently risky. How can there be a sure-win war in this world?
At that moment, Leng Tiefeng also took out dozens of soldier models and cavalry models from the Japanese military camp, placed them outside the exchange point, and then said: "Since you have invested all your troops, I might as well give you
If you get a chance, I will also use my main force. There are a total of one and a half infantry regiments, an artillery regiment and a cavalry regiment. Only one infantry brigade and engineer regiment will be left, and the baggage regiment will take care of things."
"Good guy, you are coming out in force. It seems that I can only choose to give up and run away!"
After Xu Rui finished speaking, he moved a dozen soldier models on the battlefield to the rear. However, according to the rules, each round can only move a certain distance, and the soldier models cannot be removed from the battlefield at once.
In actual combat, it is impossible for troops entering the battlefield to disappear out of thin air. It is not so easy for participating troops to withdraw from the battle.
"I'm afraid you can't run away anymore." Leng Tiefeng shook his head and said coldly, "I will bite you from the front with the strength of two infantry brigades, making it impossible for you to adjust your deployment. At the same time, I will use various forces to attack you.
An infantry brigade will detour from the left and right to intercept your troops, and another cavalry regiment will detour further away. At this time, your troops have been used up, and since you have no reliable reserves, you cannot regroup.
Deploy and build a line of defense.”
After Leng Tiefeng finished speaking, he made a gesture. Mei Jiuling and Huang Shouxin, who were the most junior, immediately walked to the sand table and divided the dozens of soldier models representing the Japanese army into three parts.
While chasing forward, the other two groups began to separate to the left and right, and circled behind the independent group. The knight model representing the cavalry circled further away.
At this time, even a layman who knows nothing about military affairs can see that the prospects of the independent regiment are very bad!
Since the strength of the independent regiment has been fully used, there is neither enough reserve nor a preset blocking position, so the main force withdrawn from the battlefield can only cover alternately and retreat one by one. But in this way
, the speed of retreat will be greatly affected.
The Japanese army that detours from both sides will march much faster!
Because the strength of the independent regiment has been fully used, the Japanese troops on both sides of the circuit no longer need to worry about being ambushed. Therefore, even at night, they can completely let go of the march. The independent regiment retreats while fighting, while the two sides
The roundabout Japanese army could march forward in large strides, and the difference in speed was immediately apparent.
"At most three kilometers!" Leng Tiefeng put the soldier models on the left and right sides together in the middle, and said coldly, "The Japanese troops from both sides can encircle the main force of the retreating independent regiment, facing five infantry
After losing the heavy encirclement of the brigade, there is still a cavalry regiment on the periphery responsible for plugging the leaks. Lao Xu, the independent regiment is finished."
"It's too early to say anything!" Xu Rui shook his head and said, "If the independent regiment does not alternately cover and retreat one by one, if before the Japanese troops come out in full force, the main force of the independent regiment will immediately turn around and retreat like a swarm of swarms, and then retreat again.
What will happen?”
After finishing speaking, Xu Rui used both hands to sweep the soldier model representing the independent regiment back a long distance.
The so-called retreat in large strides actually means running back. In fact, it means escaping directly from the battlefield. The advantage of this is that the retreat speed is fast enough and it is less likely to be entangled by the pursuers behind you. The disadvantage is that the troops are completely herded.
Now, if you want to organize troops and deploy defense, it is just wishful thinking.
Leng Tiefeng had obviously expected this, and said: "The result is the same, the Independent Regiment is still doomed!"
While talking, Leng Tiefeng moved the soldier model representing the Japanese army in the middle a lot forward, still holding tightly on the butt of the Independent Regiment, and then said: "The independent Regiment's big strides in retreat can certainly temporarily avoid
Because they were surrounded by Japanese troops, it was impossible to escape from the pursuers behind them. If they evacuated to the left and right, they would run into the Japanese troops and even cavalry that were encircling them on both sides, so the independent regiment could only run straight forward."
"That's right, we can only run forward." Xu Rui nodded.
"So, the Independent Regiment is still inevitable to be destroyed." Leng Tiefeng pointed to a line five kilometers ahead and continued with a cold expression, "Because five kilometers ahead is the Mei River. Now the Jianghuai land has entered the rainy season, and the water level of the Mei River
It is rising rapidly and it is impossible to wade across the river."
Following Leng Tiefeng's almost cold explanation, the eyes of more than a dozen "combat staff officers" fell on the Mei River that crossed the Dameishan Basin.
There are two main main streams in the upper reaches of Meihe River, namely Niuxi River originating from Qingniuling and Qingxi River originating from Qingfengling. Niuxi River and Qingxi River flow from south to north and merge into one after flowing through the rocky valley.
The Chengmei River meanders southward through the Dameishan Basin and discharges into the Grand Canyon on the right side of the Shangsha Bridge, forming a waterfall with a drop of more than ten meters.
At present, the Jianghuai land has entered the rainy season with the most abundant rainfall of the year. The water level of the Meihe River has risen a lot. The small river that can usually be waded through has now become a raging torrent. Once people and animals fall into the Meihe River,
If you fall into it, you will be swept away by the rapids immediately, and the result will definitely be disastrous.
Xu Rui evacuated more than a dozen soldier models to the east bank of Meihe River, and there was no way to retreat.
Leng Tiefeng pressed up dozens of soldier models representing the Japanese army, and then said: "The independent regiment can retreat as far as here, and then there will be no way to retreat. Of course, if the independent regiment goes upstream or downstream, it can retreat from
There is a single-plank bridge not far upstream or a stone bridge downstream to cross the river, but there is a prerequisite for this."
As for what this premise is, Leng Tiefeng did not say it, and there was no need to say it.
Because everyone understands that it is impossible for the independent regiment to detour upstream or downstream, because there are already Japanese flanking troops detouring upstream or downstream. The independent regiment chooses to detour from both sides, fearing that they have not yet arrived.
The single-plank bridge upstream or the stone bridge downstream had already encountered the Japanese flanking troops.
If you expect the Independent Regiment to be completely unprepared, with no attack formation, no fire cover, and no physical strength, it would be better to expect each of the more than a thousand officers and soldiers of the Independent Regiment to urinate.
, it is more practical for one guy to drown all the Japanese.
Xu Rui shrugged and said, "Judging from this situation, I seem to be at the end of my rope?"
"I'm afraid that's the case." Leng Tiefeng nodded and added, "Unless you can build a new bridge at this location, but please forgive me, building a bridge in such a rainy season is not a good idea. Not to mention getting twice the result with half the effort, and
The time required will definitely increase exponentially, and what’s worse is that it will definitely be impossible to avoid Japanese reconnaissance.”
"I never thought about building a bridge." Xu Rui shook his head and said, "But, veteran, haven't you noticed that there is something special about the location where the Independent Regiment is trapped?"
"Special? What's special?" Leng Tiefeng was stunned when he heard this.
When he took a closer look, Leng Tiefeng was extremely surprised to find that the location where the Independent Regiment was trapped was really special, because Meihe turned a big bend here and actually formed an east-west shape, with the opening pointing eastward.
In the direction of Meizhen, it was through this opening that the Independent Regiment entered the river bend.
Observing further, Leng Tiefeng discovered that the distance between the north and south sides of this shaped bay was almost more than a thousand meters, and the length from east to west was more than two thousand meters.
Looking at the map label again, this river bend is actually Yematan.
