In the core of Happy Valley, in a huge war room, after the special forces spent a lot of time searching the surroundings, a huge map was formed, showing everything around them, and dozens of kilometers away, the location of a huge five-pointed star was the 117th Wing.

The radio kept ringing, reporting the situation of the 117th Wing dozens of kilometers away, although this Okazaki had blood on his hands, he was very cautious, although he entered the mountains, he never went deeper, at most twenty or thirty kilometers, and the distance between the other two brigades was very close, after several transfers, they did not let them separate, but they were almost seized by the other party and attacked them, which made Liu Ye a headache.

The regular army is not terrible, what is terrible is that they are prepared and wary of the regular army, before their battle of Nantou, the Japanese were beaten too hard, they will definitely pay attention to the protection of various surprise attacks, so that when it is possible to be surrounded and cause damage, it is impossible for the Wufeng army to continue, which is also the only weakness of the Wufeng army at present.

"Otherwise, choose here!" The artillery company commander has not said much since he came to Happy Valley, because it is a mountain battle, relying more on the role of infantry, the artillery is too heavy, and in the dense mountains, the power of the artillery will be reduced to the minimum, but this time, from the surrounding terrain, he really saw something.

"There, it's a high point in the area, but the mountains are relatively rugged, and it's not easy to go up, and Okazaki is very cunning. Even if we attract it, he may not go up! ”

"I'm not talking about going up. You look around this, at a glance. This is the highest peak, with a great view, and the mountain is relatively flat, just like a flat-topped mountain, where some artillery can be placed! The artillery company commander pointed to the position.

Artillery, others were stunned for a moment, especially Liu Ye, he never considered the issue of artillery, just because this was a mountain battle. However, the statement of the artillery company commander gave him more imagination, artillery is the king of the army, and the army without artillery will be easily defeated by the same number or even less of the troops with artillery, when the large-caliber artillery is fired and attacked, whether it is lethality. Or deterrence, it's enough to shock.

Several officers, it cannot be said that they specialized in artillery, but the use of artillery. It's not unfamiliar, and a little scrutiny confirms that this place is a great location. It is 500 meters higher than the highest peaks in the surrounding area, and there is no obstacle to shoot at the range. At least within a radius of 15 kilometers around, except for a few at the foot of the mountain and away from the location of this peak. All other positions were under the threat of this artillery.

Very subtle choice, this is the idea that came out of everyone's minds at this time, mountainous areas, not suitable for heavy artillery fire, the current 108 in the northwest is an exception, the weight is not too large, the total weight is only about 2500 kilograms, the most important thing is that he is not a whole, he can be disassembled into 10, the maximum is about 400 kilograms, which is different, if it is placed in this area, it can cover a considerable range, the deterrent power brought by 12 artillery pieces, and even on top of hundreds of mortars.

The deterrent power of heavy artillery is so strong, coupled with more than 1,500 soldiers, plus the help of some people, you can carry out a direct attack on the 117th Wing, under the blow of artillery, the strength of the 117th Company can play half of it, so that it is possible to annihilate the 117th Wing, and then there is, when mixed with the 117th Company, the artillery can also block the surrounding reinforcements, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

After basically approving the plan of the artillery to be arranged here, it is the problem of how to transport the artillery up the flat-topped mountain, the reason why no one realized it there before, the key reason is that this is an uninhabited mountain, relatively speaking, it is relatively steep, there are only three roads up the mountain, if it is a single person, it is easier to do, 400 kg of components, to transport to the mountain, it is really not easy.

At this time, Liu Ye specially called the soldiers who were in charge of reconnoitring there, because the time he came here was relatively short, and he did not have time to make a detailed sand table, so it was just a detailed military map, and he was enough as a military commander and marcher, and the details were still insufficient.

Fortunately, the soldier in charge of investigating that direction happened to be in the Happy Valley, and called for detailed questions, and most of the officers had a smile on their faces, the whole Pingding Mountain was relatively steep, and the road to go up the mountain was on one side, and on the other side was a relatively steep cliff, and this cliff was protruding outward, which could arrange a pulley group to lift various components up.

In the logistics of artillery, for some highlands or buildings and the like, there will be hoisting things, pulley sets are ready-made, as long as people go up to the mountain, the cliff is about 400 meters, and the length of the pulley and chain is enough.

After solving the problem of artillery going up the mountain, the next step is to determine the overall battle plan, the artillery is just a chance, a chance to block the reinforcements on both sides, but to annihilate the 117th Wing, a detailed plan is also needed, the terrain of the mountain is complex, easy to ambush, but not easy to annihilate the war, if you want to completely annihilate this executioner who is stained with the blood of the report, they must be trapped in a desperate situation.

These new officers were not familiar with the surrounding terrain, they didn't dare to say anything, only Liu Ye's officers and staff officers were discussing, and when a complete plan was gradually formed, a young officer suddenly pointed to the map and said, "Can we make use of this place!" ”

The young officer was pointing to a place about 19 kilometers away in a straight line from Pingdingshan, where a special symbol was marked on the map, a red exclamation mark!

"There?" Liu Ye was stunned, it was a Jedi, and the people who explored the valley at that time were fortunately special combat members, otherwise, they might have fallen inside, because of the fear inside, many investigations have bypassed there, and they have also been listed separately.

"Yes!" The young officer said firmly, his firmness made the other officers very strange, but more people supported him, and one of them eagerly, even said angrily: "If you can bring them there, it can be regarded as a complete merit, and if these beasts die there, it can be regarded as comforting the souls of their compatriots in heaven." ”

Several people swore by this, which made the later Northwest Army very curious, and after asking what was in the valley, they were all quite excited, and they all said that it was appropriate to deal with it in this way, even if they had some sacrifices, if they could force people here, it would be regarded as a fulfillment of their wishes, and the heroic souls of their compatriots would be sacrificed.

This battle plan was successfully determined, and the entire Happy Valley, like clockwork, began to operate, 12 doors and 108, all hanging up the 400-meter-high peak, which was not only a technical work, but also a physical work, 400 strong and strong people were selected from the inhabitants of the valley, and set off with the artillery company, they needed to arrange all the artillery in place in about 2 days.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to install artillery, small groups of troops also began to attack and harass non-stop, purposefully attracting all the Japanese to the target.

Dozens of staff officers, studying the previous operations of the Okazaki Wing, finally determined a relatively certain plan, that is, the special forces of the three groups, in batches, to attract each other in batches, not too intense, but to keep in touch, let them get closer to that area, by the way to transfer troops, if you can introduce the troops to a specific area, some rugged mountainous areas, into these places, it seems that the distance between each other has not increased much, but the rugged mountain road can buy them a certain amount of time, Separate the 117th Wing from the rest of the group.

In the next two days, the Okazaki Wing changed its previous cautious style and began to be greedy for merit, and when he encountered harassment on the first day, he shouted to catch up, although he kept a certain distance from the other two temporary brigades as much as possible, but because of the increasingly rugged relationship of the mountains, the distance between contact and reaction was actually increasing.

Okazaki seems to have been irritated by the continuous teasing of their troops, plus the previous research results are that the other party has only a small force of combat effectiveness, no more than 500 people, and the previous slowdown was to make money, but now the military department has directly issued orders to reprimand, out of confidence in his own strength, he chose to continue the pursuit, and he must give them some color.

It was precisely because of Okazaki's cooperation that the initial plan was extremely smooth, and it only took a little more than a day to introduce the Okazaki United to the target mountain, and even most of them had already entered the range of the peak, which was less than 3 kilometers away from the target place.

What to do? This makes it difficult for Liu Ye to decide, one day's time is not enough for the artillery to go up the flat-topped mountain, in fact, only some personnel and shells have gone up, and I am afraid that it will be 4 o'clock in the afternoon when all of them go up, the situation on the battlefield is fleeting, and the other party cannot wait for you to make all the arrangements before coming step by step, either continue, even if the other party changes, you must also be the top, or give up this operation, turn around and wait for the opportunity.

Everyone's eyes were on Liu Ye, and Liu Ye made a decision in a short period of time to continue! That's right, it's either a big win or a fish is dead, waiting for the next opportunity, it's a choice without a choice.

With Liu Ye's decision, in the mountains and forests of almost 25 square kilometers, more than 1,500 Wufeng troops moved, they quietly entered the target position according to the original plan, and began the final preparations before the battle, a large net, slowly opened, and included the entire 117 Wing, once launched, either the fish died, or the net was broken, there was no third option.
