Li Mingfeng believed that at present, the morale of the Japanese troops on the line from Nangou to Damaigou in Shijiazi had been broken up, and there was not much strength left, so he just took advantage of this opportunity to let the advance army exercise well and test the results of the training in the months before the war. Isn't it much better than going straight to the battlefield and facing a complete Japanese brigade?

Fighters are rare, and when it's time to let go, you have to let go, don't let your mother-in-law manage too much. People don't eat dry food, and all the brigade commanders and regiment commanders are also fighting one battle at a time. And this kind of mountain ambush warfare is also a strong point of others, so why do you interfere so much?

Besides, everyone has solved more than half of the entire breakout Japanese army, is it appropriate for you Cao Yafan to take over the battlefield at this time, isn't it obvious that he is going to grab meat in someone's bowl to eat? This is something that the headquarters will not worry about, what are you doing as a division commander? If you have those spare time, it is better to seize the time and solve the remnants of the enemy on the battlefield west of Luofugou that have not been solved so far.

You are the commander-in-chief on the battlefield of Jianping, not a regimental commander or division chief of staff. These are questions that shouldn't be something you think about. Li Mingfeng clearly told Cao Yafan that he was responsible for the overall situation in military command. As for the liaison with the troops participating in the advance army, it was entrusted to his commissar.

And the specific command of the battlefield did not let him interfere again. Let him do what he has to do, not what a regiment commander should do. He is the commander-in-chief of the entire Jianping battlefield, not the commander of the local battlefield, and his energy should not be involved in a local battlefield.

Li Mingfeng's telegram was very polite. In the wording, he expressed his dissatisfaction with Cao Yafan's interference in the command of the advance army, but did not do his job well. thinks that Cao Yafan has not managed the things that should be taken care of, and the things that should not be taken care of are a little worrying. Detach yourself from the job you should do as a commander.

On the telegram, Li Mingfeng told Cao Yafan to immediately command any troops that had completed all operations and regroup as quickly as possible. On the basis of ensuring that the Japanese army that broke through from Jianping City would not escape, and would not affect the progress of the Shijiazi Nangou battlefield. As appropriate, move south with a force of troops, quickly enter the Beipiao and Chaoyang battlefields, and cooperate with the advancing troops there.

At the end of the telegram, Li Mingfeng gave Cao Yafan six hours. In six hours, he had to do two things. The first is to complete the assembly and adjustment of the strength of the troops that no longer have combat missions, and the second is to solve the remnants of the Japanese army in the battlefield west of Luofugou within six hours.

Putting down the telegram in his hand, Cao Yafan shook his head and did not make any statement about the battle on the front line of Damaigou. What I should have said has been said, what I should have done and what I shouldn't have done has been done. How to fight this battle, let's let the brigade commander who advanced into the army have a headache himself. Now that his immediate boss has said so, it's time for him to let go.

In accordance with Li Mingfeng's request, he quickly issued orders to all the units participating in the battle, and all the troops that had completed their combat tasks immediately assembled on the front line of Wu Zhuzi. The deputy division commander who commanded the battlefield west of Luofugou was ordered to completely solve the Japanese army in front of him before dusk today. Then he commanded the troops in the battlefield west of Luofugou and immediately moved south into the territory of Chaoyang.

After carefully considering the configuration of firepower on the front line of the advance to this brigade, in the Damaigou. Cao Yafan handed over the artillery he brought to a mountain artillery battalion and two heavy mortar batteries of the advancing army. At the same time, two anti-aircraft machine-gun batteries were left behind for the advance into this brigade.

And a battalion that has been rushed to it will be deployed on the line between the first line of Damaigou and Jiajiayingzi in the line of Jiangyingzi and Liutiaogou, after ensuring the safety of the flank of the first line of Damaigou. With his own division headquarters, he turned to the front line of Wu Zhuzi. It was the staging point for his troops, and he had to be there first.

After Cao Yafan left, while the brigade commander of the advancing army was obviously relieved, he also made up his mind that his two battalions on the Shijiazi Nangou battlefield, as well as the battalion that was advancing to the front line of Jiajia's camp, even if they were all gone, he would not use the battalion left by Cao Yafan.

However, the artillery and anti-aircraft machine guns left by Cao Yafan, he did not hesitate to laugh at all. He is stubborn, but his head is still very flexible. Fight hard, that's not his style. He knew that his artillery, compared with the artillery of the Anti-United Nations, still had a certain gap in technical and tactical level.

If this kind of mountain artillery support, the artillery of the Anti-United Nations can still play a very key role. Moreover, the number of artillery and anti-aircraft machine guns on the front line of Damaigou is not as large as that of the Anti-United Nations. So even if it was to reduce casualties, he had to borrow this power even if he didn't want to.

What's more, he feels more sorry for his troops than Cao Yafan. His own fist troops, an entire battalion was wiped out on the battlefield of Shijiazi, if he wanted to say that he was not distressed, it would really be a hell of a life. It was his old army, and it was also a steel knife in his hand. The first battle was all reimbursed, and his mood was worse than Cao Yafan.

On the battlefield of Shijiazi Nangou, he didn't want the experience of Shijiazi to fight again. I don't want my troops to be crippled in the first battle. In order to reduce the casualties of his own troops, he not only accepted the artillery left by Cao Yafan, but also transferred all the artillery to the front line and transported the anti-aircraft machine guns to the commanding heights.

However, accepting artillery is acceptable, but this does not mean that he will honestly fight according to Li Mingfeng's requirements and the plan left by Cao Yafan. Cao Yafan had just left on the front foot, and after the firepower was adjusted in place, he ignored the persuasion of his political commissar and launched a general attack in advance. However, in terms of attack plan, some adjustments have been made.

The platoon is used as a formed unit, and the squad is used as a tactical combination. The 82 mortar, which was replaced with the heavy mortar left by Cao Yafan, followed the assault force forward. The regimental infantry artillery companies were also all advanced, adopting the tactics of bayonets on artillery, and directly following the advance of the front-line combat troops. In the event of a fire interception, speak directly with artillery fire.

At the same time, reinforced platoons with a large number of submachine guns will be selected from these two battalions. And six MG three or four machine guns on the front line of the barley ditch were equipped with one for each of the two reinforced platoons. As a sharp knife, it attacked from two heights south of Shijiazi Nangou and attacked from north to south respectively. Split the entire battle formation of the Japanese army.

In order to ensure that the First World War would be resolved, he would personally make telephone calls to the firepower points at various commanding heights and explain to them one by one, so as to suppress the firepower on several hills occupied by the Japanese army to the death, so as to create conditions for the attacking troops to resolve the battle as soon as possible. He didn't believe that his two battalions of troops, with such a favorable terrain and absolute superiority in firepower, could not solve the remaining Japanese troops under the mountain?

For this brigade commander who wants to save face, Cao Yafan's thoughts gave him a lot of stimulation. It aggravated the psychological imbalance caused by the victory of another brother unit in the Jianping West Battlefield. The mage who is secretly in his heart must make a name for himself in this battle.

Give it to the brother troops of the Anti-Japanese Federation to see if his troops can fight a tough battle and whether they can fight this kind of war of annihilation. At the same time, let his comrade-in-arms, who is called a madman, see whose unit is the main brigade of the column. Let the whole army also see whose brigade is the trump card and sharp knife unit of the advance army.

His words are not just words from the heart. His words were also transmitted to the various units below along with the phone call. His troops were called by the provocative howl of his few words. Especially the two sharp knife platoons, the morale was extremely high by him.

patted his chest and promised that he must fight this battle well and shut the mouths of his brother troops. Let all the troops of the advance army also see who is the sharp knife brigade of the advance army. Looking at the screaming troops who were instigated by him, his political commissar could only shake his head and smile bitterly, but he did not stop it.

He also knew that his brigade commander was very angry when Cao Yafan insisted on replacing his own troops with the troops of the Anti-Japanese Alliance. Although his brigade commander did not understand Cao Yafan's thoughts, he was very clear when he saw the tragic battlefield at that time on the front line of Shijiazi.

However, although he understands Cao Yafan's thoughts, it does not mean that he really supports Cao Yafan's approach. As the brigade political commissar who lost everything with the brigade commander and won all the glory, he simply couldn't accept the fact that his troops were replaced by others at this critical time. To say that the brigade commander has strong self-esteem, he is not bad as the brigade political commissar.

It's just that out of identity considerations, when the brigade commander quarreled with Cao Yafan, he didn't express his position. Because he is a political commissar, he has to consider the issue of relations between the two armies. In case the superiors also insisted on Cao Yafan's approach, there was still room for relaxation if he didn't speak at that time, and he wouldn't be too stiff.

Although he knew very well that after this battle, no matter what the outcome was, his brigade would definitely be broken. However, the brigade political commissar believed that no matter how many casualties there were, he had to support the brigade commander in this battle. This is an issue related to the dignity of his own troops, and he, as a political commissar, must cooperate unconditionally.

Therefore, when the brigade commander called the troops below one by one, he not only did not stop it, but after the brigade commander finished talking, he also repeatedly told the two battalion commanders below that they did not want their casualties in this brigade, but this battle must be fought well. If they are fought, the brigade will give them credit. If the fight is not good, the battalion commander and the instructor will be removed from their posts.

This political commissar, who has been paying close attention to the casualties of the troops since his arrival, said this. While the cadres below were taken aback, they also felt the determination of the brigade commander and political commissar. With these words of the brigade commander and political commissar, aren't the troops below going crazy?

After the order for the general attack was issued, the two battalion commanders, under the condition that the regiment commander and the political commissar personally supervised the battle on the front line, concentrated their respective troops and desperately launched an attack on the Japanese army in front of them. If it weren't even for the brigade commissar who personally pressed the formation, suppressed the mania of several troops who controlled the commanding heights. I am afraid that the machine gunners on these commanding heights will carry the Type 92 heavy machine guns to charge.

And with the general attack of the ministry starting, Okajima Shigetoshi, who felt that something was wrong as soon as he first met, was a little flustered. Originally, according to his plan, he was going to delay until after nightfall, and then use the Japanese army's night battle tactics to use all the troops to bayonet and break through from the west of Damaigou. But the sudden general attack of the enemy army caught him a little off guard.

He did not expect that the enemy army would throw in so many troops at once and attack from all sides at the same time. He didn't even know where the enemy's main attack point was. If this situation continues, I am afraid that it is not the same thing whether I can hold on until the right time to break through, but whether I can hold out until dark.

At the same time, he found that he had also made a serious mistake before, that is, he was looking for a holding point, waiting for dark, and actually did not take any of the commanding heights. The most critical thing is that in the previous battle, too many troops were consumed on the front line of Damaigou.

The front of the attack was also too concentrated on the line of the barley ditch, and the attack on other commanding heights was abandoned. As a result, the several highlands under his control were overwhelmed by the dense firepower from the surrounding commanding heights. In particular, the enemy's mortar fire and large-caliber machine guns almost made the defenders of several heights a live target.
