Chapter 283: Arrange a plan
"Brother Fan, you don't have to go to this mission, Changsheng and I promise to settle it. ┡E』 ㄟ.『” After Ma Wanzhong heard that Liao Fan had analyzed the information, he wanted to take care of the rescue of the prisoners.
Liao Fan shifted his attention from intelligence to Ma Wanzhong, and said lightly: "This mission is different from the past, but it is related to the lives of thousands of prisoners of war. ”
"It takes two days and two nights to travel from Qi County to Taihang Mountain," Ma Wanzhong continued, drawing a route on the map, "and according to the intelligence, the prisoners of war are all young and middle-aged people who have been carefully selected by the little devils, so such a large army, as long as the order is maintained well, it can reach the periphery of Taihang Mountain in a day and a half." ”
"Keep talking!" Liao Fan nodded, agreeing with Ma Wanzhong's opinion.
"It will take five days for the little devil to reach Qi County, and in three days, he will order the three battalions under his command to advance fifty miles, hold the area around Xiaohua Mountain, and then pull out all the surrounding strongholds, so as to reduce the danger of passing through the enemy-occupied area when the prisoners of war return, as long as the prisoners of war are received, the troops will immediately retreat into the mountains." Ma Wanzhong said.
"The battle can't be fought like this," Liao Fan frowned after listening to Ma Wanzhong's plan, "Advance fifty miles to the south in three days, there is a plain of more than thirty miles between Xiaohua Mountain and Taihang Mountain, as long as the mechanized troops of the little devils are interspersed in, a regiment can be surrounded, not to mention saving prisoners, you have to take a group of more than a thousand people into it." ”
Liao Fan had a cold face and looked at Ma Wanzhong, a lifeless style of play like Ma Wanzhong, without follow-up support and two wings involving little devils, the back road of a group was broken, and there was no room for retreat at all.
"Brother Fan, don't be cold-faced, listen to me first." Ma Wanzhong looked at Liao Fan's face, knowing that the plan he came up with in his heart might be denied by Liao Fan, but he still insisted on finishing it, because he knew Liao Fan's temper, and he was not afraid that others would say wrong, but he was afraid that others would not say it.
Liao Fan stretched out his hand and motioned for Ma Wanzhong to continue talking.
"Brother Fan, lend me the artillery battalion and arrange it on the anticline of the mountains in this area, their target is the thirty-mile plain between Taihang Mountain and Xiaohua Mountain, as long as the mechanized troops of the little devils dare to pass here, we will cover them with artillery fire." Ma Wanzhong pointed to the map and continued to finish his words.
"Although the idea is good, the thirty-mile plain, the little devil is enough to arrange several lines of defense, even if all our artillery is used, it can't cover such a large area, not to mention that three-quarters of our artillery is mortars, and it can't hit that far at all." Liao Fan knew Ma Wanzhong's thoughts.
"Brother Fan, don't forget that there is also our special combat team." At this time, Huang Changsheng stood up, "Our special combat team has been cherishing a treasure that is useless." ”
"What baby?" Liao Fan looked at Huang Changsheng suspiciously, as if Huang Changsheng was hiding a big girl, "Are you kid hiding a girl in the golden house?" ”
"What can I hide, all the old men in our special combat team, where can I find a beauty like my sister-in-law." Huang Changsheng ridiculed, but immediately shifted the topic to serious things, "We still have Shao Guangqi." ”
"Shao Guangqi?" Hearing Huang Changsheng mention Shao Guangqi, Liao Fan instantly understood what Huang Changsheng meant, "You mean we can pretend to be Japanese soldiers and guard the surrounding strongholds and turrets for the little devils?" ”
"Brother Fan, although we can't recommend fifty miles to the south to Xiaohua Mountain, we can at least control the little devil stronghold within ten miles of the outer part of Taihang Mountain, as long as we don't let the little devils in the county know that their stronghold and turret are controlled by us, this ten mile road can at least reduce the burden on the prisoners." Huang Changsheng knew that the ten-mile road was nothing to them at all, but for the prisoners who were fleeing urgently, this was a life-saving ten-mile road.
Liao Fan pondered for a while, the stronghold on the periphery is also on the plain, once the little devil learns that the stronghold is captured, the little devil will immediately send troops to support, and if they don't enter at that time, they will have to retreat to Taihang Mountain, and the little devil may be able to see through Liao Fan's purpose and strengthen the defense of this generation, let alone come back when the little devil is given.
But Liao Fan felt that this method could be tried, if it succeeded, the stronghold within ten miles could block the little devil's pursuers, and if it could be taken by surprise, it could also make the little devil's pursuers suffer a big loss.
"Ma Wanzhong, you send a company of soldiers, disguised as ordinary people, infiltrate the enemy-occupied area within ten miles, as long as you touch the little devil's wires and telephone lines, all of them will be hanged for him, as long as the little devil is reconnected within five days, you will hang him once." Liao Fan decided to use Huang Changsheng's method, but in the past five days, he also had to make the little devil's communication unable to arrive in time.
"Understood!" Ma Wanzhong responded.
"After we take the turret and stronghold, we will have to trouble a group of people to disguise themselves as Japanese soldiers and devils to station," Huang Changsheng said with a smile to Ma Wanzhong.
"This time, all of you special forces are going to be dispatched! Arrange as many people as possible to go to the county seat of Qi County, some people disguise themselves as little devils and blend into the train station, and some people strive to take the arsenal of Qi County, as long as the prisoners can be rescued, let them be armed to protect themselves first, and then carry out an armed breakthrough. Liao Fan added.
"As for the soldiers who can't sneak into the county, once they hear that there is a fight in the county, they will quickly assemble on the outskirts of the county, cooperate with the armed prisoners, take down the city gate, and then quickly break through." Huang Changsheng continued.
"But how to control the time, once the time is staggered for an hour, our soldiers and rescued prisoners are blocked in the county town, it will really become a turtle in an urn." Ma Wanzhong was worried that the troops would not cooperate well, and the little devils would see through their plans, so they ambushed the troops in advance, and these thousands of prisoners of war would be slaughtered.
Liao Fan tilted his head and pondered, time is indeed a big problem, the time for the little devil train to arrive at the station is uncertain, if the troops start too early, all plans will be in vain.
"If we insert a force here, and then cause some trouble for the little devils, and delay the little devils' train for some time, so that we can make sure that the train actually arrives at the same time." Ma Wanzhong drew an area in the middle of the map, which is the only way for the little devil's train, "But there is no way for us to determine which train is escorting the prisoners." ”
"The proprietress of the teahouse, Changsheng, this time you go in person, tell the proprietress of the teahouse our plan, and we need their help, and tell them that without her help, we have to give up all rescue plans." Although Liao Fan was sure that the tavern proprietress was an intelligence worker, he didn't know what kind of force the tavern proprietress belonged to, but despite this, Liao Fan still wanted to fight.
"Brother Fan, I'll leave with the troops tonight, I'll hand over the soldiers of a small detachment to Shao Guangqi, and then ask him to find Lao Ma to report." Five days is not a long time, but it is not a short time, Huang Changsheng needs to understand the terrain around Qi County, arrange the hiding of the soldiers of the special combat team, understand the situation inside the county seat of Qi County, and analyze various intelligence, for Huang Changsheng Time may not be enough.
"Okay, the three of us will complete the detailed plan first, and there can be no deviation in the coordination of time, and the artillery battalion is divided into two halves, half of which is taken away by Changsheng, and half is arranged in this area with my brother as a support for your retreat."
Ma Wanzhong knew that the artillery support for the retreat was for them, because their regiment would be the last cover force for this battle.
"Understood, Brother Fan."
The three of them discussed some specific details, and then continued to speculate and add unreasonable points. In the end, Liao Fan reminded the two of them: "This battle is not fought in Taihang Mountain, it is fought in the enemy-occupied area, there is no logistical support, after returning home, I must tell the brothers about the situation, and if necessary, implement the specific task to everyone." ”
"Brother Fan, you just sit in the headquarters and be Zhuge Liang for a while, Changsheng and I are Guan Yunchang and Zhao Zilong, and I promise to rescue these thousands of captives for you." Ma Wanzhong patted his chest and assured Liao Fan that this battle plan was the most detailed battle plan he had ever seen, even if the little devil attacked Taihang Mountain with all his might last time, Liao Fan had never written such a detailed battle plan.
"As long as you are Guan Yunchang, you are Zhang Fei." Huang Changsheng joked that after arranging the battle plan, everyone relaxed a little.
"Zhang Fei is Zhang Fei," Ma Wanzhong didn't care about Huang Changsheng saying that he was brave or strategic, and he also admitted that he lacked a lot in major strategic issues, "As long as we can save 3,000 people this time, it will add a lot of strength to our independent 33rd Division." ”
"But I want you all to come back with a lot of full beards and full shadows!" This battle is not only to rescue the prisoners, but also to increase the strength of Taihang Mountain, these prisoners are veterans of the battlefield, as long as a little training, and then replenish the troops, the combat effectiveness of the 33rd Independent Division will be greatly improved, and the 33rd Independent Division will no longer have to worry about the lack of low-level officers in the future.
But everyone knows that there are no immortals in the war, and they take the initiative to attack this time, and then retreat, and then turn to defense, such a complex tactical change, once a detail is not in place, it may cost hundreds or even thousands of lives, if the various troops cooperate properly, not only can rescue a large number of prisoners of war, but also can make the little devil suffer a big loss, from now on, the little devil will not want to attack Taihang Mountain again.
"Brother Fan, then we'll go back and prepare now!" Ma Wanzhong and Hu Guoshan watched the sky gradually darken, unconsciously they discussed the day's battle plan, the two of them stretched their waists to say goodbye to Liao Fan, the two of them were going to arrange the task tonight, and Huang Changsheng was going to lead the team out tonight.
ps: The author of Xiaohua Mountain himself fictionalized a place, there are few big mountains in the North China Plain, otherwise the mechanized troops of the little devils would not be so rampant on the North China Plain.
