Chapter 570: True and False
It was dark, and although everything was quiet on the surface, there was an undercurrent in the night. After all, the night can cover the other party's eyes, and when the other party can't see it, they need to line up their troops.
The first thing the little devils did was to take advantage of the darkness to dig trenches and bunkers, and they came in a hurry, without even a sheltered place, and if the artillery of the Chinese army reached the battlefield, they would only end up being bombed.
Secondly, the commander of the little devil sent soldiers to infiltrate the county town of San'in as much as possible, get in touch with the defenders in the city, and then discuss countermeasures.
In addition to waiting for the arrival of the follow-up troops, the brigade commander of the new 33rd Army also had to get in touch with the encircled regiment, so that he could form an effective cooperation and eliminate all the little devils inside and outside the county town of Shanyin.
At the same time, Liao Fan and Li Weimin also got the news at the headquarters that the little devil's support force was surrounded, but the bad news was that one of their regiments might be in danger, and the final result might be that the besieged regiment was all wiped out by the little devils, and the little devils around Shanyin County were all wiped out by them.
Liao Fan has always been stingy, but he would not give such a big bait to the little devil to eat. However, at this time, he should be more grateful to Cun Qi, his suggestion to recruit guides played a role in the early stage of the campaign, and he was really more prescient than Liao Fan.
"Commander Inch, what do you think about this matter?" Li Weimin asked Cunqi.
Now Cun Qi is one of his staff officers, and after the battle is over, he still has to go back to be the head of his guard regiment, and now that Cun Qi's opinion has played a role, Li Weimin will definitely not ignore his current thoughts.
"Datong is empty, if we can go straight to Datong now, the possibility of success is very high!" Cunqi suggested.
Now all the Japanese troops on the front line from Datong to Shanyin County have been dispatched to support Shanyin County, and the rear troops are empty, and now Li Weimin has a division of more than 10,000 troops in his hands, if Datong is raided overnight, presumably Datong will definitely be taken by them.
"It's a good idea to surprise Datong, but how can you do it? Now that the battle has begun, the little devil must be on full alert, and it may be difficult to sneak attack! ”
Now the little devils in Shanxi know that the New 33rd Army has launched an attack on them, and they will definitely be on strict guard and ready to fight at any time, and once the surprise attack fails, it will turn into a strong attack.
"Brother Fan, if we don't surprise attack, the only option left is to attack, and now Datong must be on full alert, waiting for our attack!"
The battle has already begun, and the news will definitely not be blocked, and everyone guesses that their target is Datong.
"yes, it seems like that's the case, all of us seem to have our eyes on Datong!"
The battle had just begun, and any ordinary warrior could see that their real goal was Datong, and the little devil would definitely know it. Even if Datong has already dispatched troops to support Shanyin County, as long as the little devils are ready, the new 33rd Army will definitely have to pay the price for attacking Datong.
"Since the little devils know that we are going to attack Datong, why do we still have to follow the ideas of the little devils, the initiative is in our hands!"
Now that the combat goal has been exposed, if they continue to follow the old plan, the little devil will definitely prepare a full set for them and serve the soldiers of the new 33rd Army well.
"Brother Fan, what do you mean?"
"Since the little devil is already ready in Datong, why do we still aim at Datong! Send out scouts, scout reinforcements coming from the direction of Shuozhou, and see what they are doing now! ”
The situation on the battlefield is changeable, and it is necessary to adjust its combat plan at any time according to local changes, and the ultimate goal of going north out of Taihang Mountain this time has not changed, but it should still be possible to find trouble for the little devil halfway.
"Brother Fan, the news that came back from the scouts half an hour ago is that the Japanese army in the direction of Shuozhou has stopped at Maying, and has no intention of advancing eastward!"
Liao Fan frowned, looking at the flickering lights in the headquarters, he was also confused, what happened to this little devil? In addition to such a big thing, they dare to pick on foreign workers, which is obviously looking down on their new 33rd Army!
Of course, Liao Fan couldn't have imagined that the commander of the little devil would give such a stupid order, and it was precisely because of the stupid order that all the troops did not encounter any major trouble now.
If all the Japanese troops that can be mobilized in Shanxi rush towards them, not to mention that they still have more than 10,000 troops left in their hands, it is very likely that even the guard battalion and the reconnaissance battalion will have to go to the battlefield.
But after a day of fighting, it was still only around Shanyin and Yingxian, and there was not much movement in other directions.
"What the hell is the little devil going to do?"
Although I have the information of the little devil, I still don't know the real purpose of the little devil's hesitation.
"Brother Fan, do you want to send a group over to get them all at once?" Li Weimin asked Liao Fan's opinion.
Since the little devil reinforcements don't show their purpose, they will directly fight a guy, and the little devil won't be able to show it if he doesn't want to show it.
"Nope! Arrange two regiments to directly send the little devil's reinforcements back to Shuozhou, and give the little devil the illusion that we want to storm Shuozhou! ”
Since everyone knew that the target they were going to attack was Datong, Liao Fan didn't mind diverting everyone's attention and making the little devils think that they were going to attack Shuozhou, but Datong.
"I'll arrange it!"
"Wait, let Cun Qi take the troops with this matter, since our real goal is Datong, of course we can't take care of one or the other!"
"False and real, Brother Fan, are you trying to make the little devil stunned?" Cun Qi also began to admire Liao Fan's ability to adapt at any time, this combination of virtual and real, even if he can't win Datong smoothly, it is enough for the little devil to have a headache.
"Let the scouts take the local guides to scout a hidden line from us, and then let the troops go straight to Datong! Now it is imperative that the soldiers of the encircled regiment be safely evacuated! This matter is up to you, Li Weimin, to take all the troops to Shanyin County to support! ”
"Brother Fan, aren't you preparing for a surprise attack on Datong?"
Li Weimin asked curiously, aren't all the plans just made just going to Datong, how can you bring all the troops to Shanyin County now, this is really a thing that is the opposite of the opposite.
"The safe route has not been found, if we go rashly, the Japanese troops stationed along the way will definitely find us, and we have to do a full set of things, to be realistic, if we don't expose all our troops, how can the little devil believe that we are going to attack Shuozhou?"
Liao Fan arranged all this to let the little devils know that their real purpose is Shuozhou, not Datong, and let the little devils in the direction of Datong relax their vigilance.
"Changsheng, the soldiers of the Special Operations Brigade can now go to Datong!"
Now that all the troops have set off, the special operations brigade cannot be idle, since Datong is the final goal, Liao Fan must of course insert the sharp knife of the special operations brigade into the heart of the little devil in Datong in advance.
"Remember, your main task in Datong City is not to destroy but to protect, there are many valuable military targets in Datong, you have to make sure that when the big army attacks, the little devils will not jump over the wall and blow up all the factories in the city, and there are workers in the factory!"
Liao Fan knows that destroying a thing is very simple, a bomb of sufficient weight is enough, but if you want to build a good thing, it takes a lot of time, energy and money, and now in China, some things may not be bought even if you spend money, so they need to protect them.
After Liao Fan arranged everything, they left together.
In the dark of night, the troops and horses were mobilized, and except for the soldiers of the special operations brigade, the other combat units had to complete all the deployments before dawn as much as possible, so that they could surprise the little devils and let the little devils know the strength of their new 33rd Army.
Li Weimin led the troops to do it easily, as long as he rushed to the front line of Shanyin County in time, and then joined up with the troops there, rescued a regiment in the encirclement, and taught a lesson to the little devils who came to support by the way.
And Cun Qi rushed to the horse camp with two regiments of troops, and then launched an attack before dawn, to give the little devils the illusion that they were going to storm Shuozhou.
In the Japanese barracks of the horse camp, the commander of the Japanese reinforcements from the direction of Shuozhou sent telegrams over and over again to confirm the commander's order, and if they were at full speed, they would be at most two hours away from Sanyin County, and they were fully capable of rushing to the battlefield.
However, the commander-in-chief's orders were always vague, and he did not give the final order clearly, telling him that he must reconnoiter the enemy situation and confirm that the Chinese army was not a trap laid for them.
Because the troops supporting the first wave have been surrounded by the Chinese army, he doesn't want to watch the troops supporting the second wave fall into the encirclement again, and not only Datong, but also Shuozhou may be in danger at that time.
At that time, the area that the Japanese army could control in the whole of Shanxi was very small, and with the violent speed of the New 33rd Army, it would take another half a year for them to escape.
From the very beginning, when the plan to go north out of Taihang Mountain was formulated, Liao Fan's goal was to pass through the Great Wall in the north, and then cooperate with Fu Yisheng's Seventh Army to cut off the entire Shanxi from the Japanese army in the Suiyuan area. Then slowly wipe out the Japanese army in the entire Shanxi.
If it weren't for the sudden change of Zhongtiao Mountain, which led to the opening of the gate in the southwest of the entire mountain, with Taihang Mountain in the east of Shanxi, the Great Wall in the north, the Eighth Route Army and the Jingsui Army in the west, and Zhongtiao Mountain in the south, the little devils in the whole Shanxi were surrounded by them, as long as there was no problem, then the little devils in Shanxi could not escape.
It's a pity that the heavens are not beautiful, and hundreds of thousands of troops of the national army in the battle of Zhongtiao Mountain were driven to Henan by the little devils, which led to Liao Fan's plan to besiege the Japanese army in Shanxi from all sides to declare bankruptcy.
