After analyzing the situation of the big battle, while there was still a while to eat lunch, Liu Lang and the future general and Lieutenant General Zhao had a discussion on the tactical details on the battlefield.

Liu Lang's first opinion was that because the firing range of the 17th Division's mountain artillery battalion was closer than that of the Japanese 41 mountain artillery, and the Japanese invaders also had planes to help them, if the position was too far forward, it would suffer unnecessary losses because of the superior firepower of the Japanese invaders.

And this point is obviously what Zhao Shoushan is extremely worried about, the 12 Jin mountain cannons in this mountain artillery battalion are his baby bumps. It can be said that in the first battle of Baoding City, if it were not for the fire cover of this mountain artillery battalion, his 17th Division could have successfully withdrawn from its position after losing less than 1,000 men and fighting the Japanese army?

Not to mention that he and Liu Lang both attach great importance to this mountain artillery battalion, even the old man from Shanxi who is far away in Taiyuan also sees it, and has been telegraphing him to transfer the mountain artillery battalion to the jurisdiction of the Niangziguan War Zone. The reason is naturally that the old man in Shanxi transferred most of the artillery to Xinkou to confront Itagaki Seishiro, and the artillery on the side of Niangziguan is not only pitiful, but even the artillery is not ready, and there are even strong men who temporarily serve as gunners.

If it weren't for Zhao Shoushan's repeated insistence, his artillery battalion would have been swallowed up by the war zone.

However, if the artillery is hidden in a ravine far away, the concealment and safety are enough, but the idea of blocking the road to Niangziguan for several miles before Xuehuashan with artillery fire cannot be realized, and the Japanese army can swagger into the front of Niangziguan under the noses of the Chinese soldiers on the Xuehuashan position. The long spears and short cannons on the hilltop are beyond the reach of the whip.

"If you don't let the invaders split into two ways, how can they want to recruit a roundabout sneak attack?" Liu Lang woke up the dreamer with a sentence.

The three of them reached a consensus on the deployment of the artillery battalion, and the 12 mountain guns of the artillery battalion were hidden 5 kilometers south of Xuehua Mountain, and their main role was to provide artillery support to the Xuehua Mountain position. At the same time, in order to prevent the Japanese from making the usual roundabout sneak attack, the guard strength of the artillery battalion was one infantry battalion, and observation posts were to be dispatched two kilometers away from the artillery position.

Liu Lang's second opinion was that Zhao Shoushan was a little incomprehensible, and Liu Lang suggested that the 17th Division should defend against the danger and not try to counterattack Jingcheng County, which was a few kilometers away.

Not only is Liu Lang's suggestion inconsistent with the tactics envisioned by Zhao Shoushan, but in fact, it is also a bit rigid for defensive tactics.

Defending to the death is actually the next strategy for defensive warfare, especially when facing the enemy's superior firepower. Although it seems that the turtle can be safe for the time being, no matter how hard the turtle shell is, sooner or later it will be crushed, and when the last defense is stripped by the enemy, it is often the death period of the defender.

As for the stone mountain of Xuehua Mountain, there is no way to dig trenches that are too deep, let alone anti-artillery holes and the like, and many important fortifications are built by loading sand and gravel with sacks. Bulletproof shells are not a big problem, but if they are hit by a shell, they are wiped out.

There are also clouds in the book of war: there is an attack in the defense, and the party is the best policy.

Zhao Shoushan's idea was to use Xuehua Mountain as a base to continuously send troops to attack and harass the supply base in Jingcheng County, the rear of the Japanese army, and even counterattack the county town to build fortifications to cut off the rear route of the Japanese army, so that they could not do their best to attack regardless of one or the other, which also reduced the pressure on the defensive position on the mountain.

The future general's brows also furrowed slightly.

Zhao Shoushan's idea actually coincided with his, this tactic of defending the center and leading the attack could not only reduce the pressure on the frontal main battlefield, but also constantly hit the morale of the Japanese army. In addition to sports warfare, I am afraid that the best thing for the red troops is defensive warfare, and they do not know how many red generals' killer weapons to carry out counter-charge attacks while the enemy is charging frantically, and it has been repeatedly effective.

"Defending as defense, attacking instead of defending, attacking in defense, and defending in attack" is the best policy in defensive warfare.

But Liu Lang did the opposite again this time. Of course, neither of them thought it was because Liu Tuanzuo was too young to understand this tactic.

He Liu Lang fought on the Great Wall, first with fortifications and Japanese artillery for eight days, and then the surprise soldiers were exhausted, and the heavy artillery of the Japanese army was eliminated in one fell swoop, which created the most glorious battle in China since the Sino-Japanese War. And this is almost a typical example of textbook-like "defending while attacking."

Liu Lang could only smile helplessly. The reason why he did not suggest that the 17th Division go to a sneak attack and counterattack Jingcheng County was not because this tactic of attacking while defending was wrong.

In the past time and space, the 17th Division took advantage of the night to attack the Japanese army in the direction of Changshengkou in Jingcheng County, and achieved good results in recovering Liujiagou, Changshengkou and Jingcheng Nanguan Station, and basically achieved the strategic goal of mobilizing the Japanese army to fight the Japanese army.

However, in the midst of this victory, there was a mistake, but because of this mistake, it led to a series of bad consequences. In the end, more than 2,000 officers and soldiers died in the battle of Xuehua Mountain, not to mention the loss of the position of Xuehua Mountain, and the 17th Division could only retreat to the second line of defense ---- lack of donkey ridge.

Zhang Shijun, commander of the 102nd Regiment of the 17th Division, which defended the main position of Xuehua Mountain, was eager to take credit and led a force to counterattack Jingcheng County without authorization, but the Japanese invaders were suddenly stepping up their offensive on Xuehua Mountain at this time. The 102nd Regiment, which was absent from the commander, was suddenly leaderless, which eventually led to the loss of the position of Snow Flower Mountain.

However, the 17th Division, which was attacking the Japanese position in Jingcheng County, encountered artillery shells fired by the Japanese from the top of Xuehua Mountain.

The 17th Division organized superior forces to carry out several counterattacks on Xuehua Mountain, but all suffered heavy casualties and returned in vain, so they could only retreat to Donkey Ridge in tears to build a second line of defense. Zhang Shijun, the colonel of the 102nd regiment, who caused this evil result, was shot by Zhao Shoushan in a rage. The colonel of the National Revolutionary Army, who was supposed to have sprinkled his blood on the battlefield with the Japanese invaders, killed his own officers and soldiers because of his own carelessness, and also sent himself to the guns of his own people. This is an absolute tragedy.

Now that he has come to this time and space, Liu Lang naturally wants to prevent all this from happening. Not for a certain person, but for those Sanqin disciples who spilled blood on Xuehua Mountain, Shaanxi Lengwa, who should have worked hard to shoot more Japanese soldiers on their own positions, instead of being forced to counterattack their own positions with inferior firepower, and then fell on the mountain that would become a famous scenic spot in the future.

When people in the future climb high and look far away to sigh at the magnificence of the mountains and rivers of the motherland, how many people know that on the stone mountain under the stairs they have stepped on, how many ancestors have sprinkled their own blood on it?

However, can Liu Lang tell the lieutenant general of the Northwest Army that the commander of the most powerful main regiment under his command will make an unforgivable mistake? Then it's strange that the lieutenant general is not angry and treats him as a magic stick. The battle situation discussed earlier will also be completely in vain.

It is better to suggest that this person should not carry out any counteroffensive, first carry the Japanese army in Xuehua Mountain for three days, and then retreat to the Donkey Ridge and carry the Japanese army for a few days, so as to complete the strategy of luring the enemy into depth.

"The purpose of the 17th Division's headquarters in Xuehua Mountain at this time is not to hold Xuehua Mountain, but to kill and injure a large number of enemy invaders, in order to help the 17th Division more effectively fight the Japanese invaders, our independent regiment will send three anti-aircraft artillery platoons to establish air defense positions to reduce the threat from the sky." Liu Lang can only throw out the premise of taking the grand strategy as the goal, and at the same time deviate the topic.

Sure enough, after hearing that Liu Lang would provide assistance from three anti-aircraft gun platoons, Lieutenant General Zhao's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to say, "What equipment do you have for your anti-aircraft gun platoon?" ”

"I will equip you with four twin 20-mm Surothong anti-aircraft guns for one platoon, and six "Reaper" heavy machine guns of our independent regiment that can be used as anti-aircraft machine guns, all of which can support the main position on the hill with flat fire when the battle is fierce. "Liu Tuanzuo can be regarded as a bloody capital at this time.

The 12 Surotong anti-aircraft guns had basically swept away the Surotong anti-aircraft guns equipped with the fire platoons of the two infantry battalions, and in the direction of Jiuguan, where the battle was about to take place, there was almost only so much air defense he could provide.

Just thinking about the more than 200-pound aerial bombs dropped by Japanese bombers from high altitudes if they hit, an elite infantry squad or even a platoon might be wiped out, and Liu Lang's eyes were red. If Zhou Dapeng and his "Aviation Volunteers" could appear on the Shanxi battlefield now, he was fully confident that he would not have to pay too heavy casualties if he could fight the entire 20th Division into a lump.

It's a pity, he knows that he can't, the Songhu battlefield is much more tragic than here, 750,000 Chinese troops are fighting against more than 200,000 Japanese troops under hundreds of Japanese planes and naval guns with a caliber of more than 200, without them, the Songhu sky has entered October, and there may be no Chinese planes.

Even, Liu Lang also knew that Zhou Dapeng and they must have fought very fiercely, although they surpassed the Type 96 aircraft equipped by the Japanese Navy in terms of performance, the number of 150 aircraft was still too small compared with the Japanese army that could mobilize hundreds or even thousands of aircraft.

There are reports of the martyrdom of the Chinese Air Force every day in the war report, and Liu Lang knows that that it also includes the "aviation volunteers" who are not mentioned by name.

Half of the anti-aircraft anti-aircraft guns have already made Lieutenant General Zhao happy, and at this time, he can still take care of whether Liu Lang's opinion makes him feel aggrieved, since it is to serve the grand strategy, sooner or later it will be withdrawn, so listen to him. Twelve anti-aircraft guns and eighteen anti-aircraft machine guns, the ferocious firepower caught off guard, but it can make the little devils in the sky drink a good pot.
