Macheng, the headquarters of the governor of the Dabie Mountain Theater.

One after another, the signal corps came out of the communications office and reported the latest battle situation to the general staff, and the operational staff officers of the general staff immediately displayed the latest battle situation on the sand table.

The small red flags and small blue flags on the sand table move and regroup at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As time passed, Li Pinxian, Luo Zhengying, Yu Jishi and others finally saw their eyebrows.

I saw that more than 200 regiments in the Dabie Mountain Theater had formed two huge pocket formations between Dayingyuan and Bodao Peak, and between Bodao Peak and Dashijian!

Of course, these two pocket arrays have not yet taken shape.

Because the troops that detoured to the far end were not yet in place.

Luo Zhengying couldn't help but praise: "Director Zhong, you really plan to swallow the two divisions of the Japanese army in one bite!" ”

"Well, I can see that too." Sun Lianzhong nodded again and again, "The pocket formation on the side of Dayingyuan is for the 22nd Division of the Japanese Army, and the Pocket Formation on the side of Dashijian is for the 27th Division, right?" ”

Yu Jishi also rubbed his chin and said, "Maybe, it can really be done." ”

Listening to Luo Zhengying and a few of them talking there, Tang Enbo was at a loss.

Because until now, Towneberg's mind was still a mess.

Bai Chongbei was surprised and delighted, surprised by Zhong Yi's command ability, he really didn't expect that Zhong Yi could really achieve command of more than two hundred regiments! In addition to super high coordination ability, this must also have super fighter capture ability and battlefield insight ability, and more importantly, it must also have a super sense of space!

A strong sense of space is to be able to fully display the terrain of the entire Dabie Mountain in your mind.

In other words, even if there is no map, even if there is no sand table, Zhong Yi can also command the battle.

Bai Chongbei usually boasted of his ability, but if he asked himself, he was not capable of doing this.

As for the joy, it is because with Zhong Yi's deployment of troops, under Zhong Yi's seemingly casual and accurate command and control, the two huge ambush circles against the Japanese 22nd Division and the 27th Division are about to take shape.

While he was thinking about it, another signal soldier hurried into the war room and handed a telegram to a staff officer.

After reading it, the staff officer immediately couldn't help but report to Zhong Yi with joy: "Director, the 51st Division reports that the 22nd Division of the Japanese Army is shrinking its strength and is assembling in the direction of Maple Pass; At the same time, the 11th Division reported that the 27th Division of the Japanese Army was also shrinking its strength and was assembling towards the Straw Flat area! ”

"Got it!" Zhong Yi waved his hand and said, "Mark it to the sand table!" ”

"Yes!" Several staff officers said yes and began the sand table operation.

The eyes of Bai Chongbei, Li Pinxian and others also fell on the sand table again.

I saw a few staff officers pick up the small blue pennants from the sand table one by one and replace them in another place, and it didn't take long for most of the small blue flags to concentrate in two narrow areas.

Bai Chong looked at it anxiously, and found that these two piles of small blue flags were in the two ambush circles!

At that moment, Bai Chongbei couldn't help but be overjoyed, okay, the little devil really stepped into the trap!

At that moment, Bai Chongbei turned his head and was about to talk to Zhong Yi, but found that Zhong Yi's expression was a little different, to be precise, it was a little dignified, and his brows were locked.

Bai Chongbei's heart froze, and he asked in a low voice, "Ziren, is the situation wrong?" ”

"Yes." Zhong Yi nodded lightly and said, "The situation is not very good. ”

"No, it won't." Bai Chongbei was stunned and said, "Judging from the sand table, isn't the situation very good? The two huge encirclements that your kid has painstakingly managed are about to take shape, and the two divisions of the little devil are about to enter the bar! ”

Zhong Yi sighed lightly and said, "Commander-in-chief, haven't you noticed that the two divisions of the little devil are too close to each other!" ”

When Bai Chong looked at it anxiously, he found that the distance between the two divisions of the devil was really not far, and it looked like it was more than thirty miles and less than fifty miles at most.

At this time, Luo Zhengying and a few of them also found out.

Luo Zhengying said: "Indeed, the two divisions of the devil are too close to each other! ”

Yu Jishi also said: "At such a distance, once the devil finds out that something is wrong, he only needs to attack relatively, and it will only take two hours at most to complete the rendezvous!" ”

Li Pinxian also said: "If the two divisions of the little devil are allowed to complete the rendezvous, the situation will be tricky!" ”

"Just tricky?" Sun Lianzhong shook his head and said, "If the two divisions of the devil are allowed to hold together, even if we concentrate all the main forces in our Dabie Mountain Theater, we won't be able to gnaw it down within ten days!" ”

Bai Chongbei bowed his head slightly, he completely agreed with Sun Lianzhong's judgment.

Zhong Yi also said: "This old devil is still very cautious!" ”

Bai Chongbei said: "Ziren, what now?" Or give up? ”

"Give up?" Zhong Yi shook his head and said in a deep voice, "You can't give up if you give up!" ”

"yes." Bai Chongbei seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to say to Zhong Yi, "If you give up, these two divisions of the devil will be like two sharp knives, rushing ahead of us and going straight to Wuhan!" At that time, even if Liao Lei's 21st Group Army held Huang'an, even if Sun Liren's nine divisions held Xiaogan, it would be useless! ”

The eyes of Li Pinxian, Luo Zhengying and others all fell on Zhong Yi's face.

Zhong Yi's eyes kept moving on the sand table, and he said: "If we can find a suitable terrain, even if the two divisions of the little devil form a group, there is still a chance to gnaw down!" ”

"Terrain?" Sun Lianzhong asked, "Director Zhong, what kind of terrain do you want?" ”

"A canyon, or a river valley!" Zhong Yi said, "The canyon can use fire to attack, the river valley can use water to attack, first use water and fire to invade a wave, the little devil's combat power will lose at least three to forty percent, this time, we will also have a chance!" ”

"Canyon?" Sun Lianzhong suddenly said, "If it's a canyon, I know that there is a canyon that will definitely do!" ”

"Really?" Bai Chongbei's expression suddenly perked up when he heard this, and he asked urgently, "Brother Lu, where is the canyon you are talking about?" ”

"Here!" Sun Lianzhong took the command rod and nodded on the sand table and said, "Between Xinkangling and Liuyan Mountain, after the battle of Xuzhou, I led the Second Army to retreat to Wuhan to take this road, the grass and trees in the canyon are very lush, and this will be in late autumn, the weather is dry, and it is easy to have mountain fires!" ”

Zhong Yi nodded heavily and said, "This is it, Changhewan!" ”

After a pause, Zhong Yi said again: "Pass my order, the 1015th Regiment and the 1016th Regiment will immediately rush to Changhe Bay to prepare sulfur and fire and other fire-causing things!" ”
