We set out before dawn and didn't arrive at Licheng until the afternoon. When we arrived in Licheng, Hu Yizhou was told that the 178th Division had arrived at Dongyang Pass. What else is there to say? Keep on going!

Arriving at Dongyang Pass in the evening, the security team was stationed in a nearby village. Then, Hu Yizhou led his special operations platoon guard to find Commander Li who was deploying defenses.

Upon arriving at the 178th Division headquarters, Hu Yizhou was directly invited into the conference room to attend the pre-war meeting.

"Report!" Hu Yizhou shouted outside the conference room door.

"Come in! Hahaha, you all said there are no reinforcements, so our reinforcements are coming!" The speaker was Commander Li.

"Hello, sir! Everyone!" Hu Yizhou entered the conference room and saluted first.

"Hello! Please sit down! Our combat meeting has just begun. You came at the right time! Let's study together how to defend Dongyang Pass!" In fact, the 178th Division also just arrived here.

"You all come over and take a look. This is the newly made sand table! Thanks to the surveying and mapping data that Captain Hu sent us a few days ago, we have saved a lot of work! Come over and take a look at this terrain. What do you think?

No?" Commander Li asked, looking at his several regiment leaders.

"There's nothing to say, just fight the Japanese when they come! If we fight the Japanese, we will never have diarrhea!"

"Teacher, just give the order! Don't test us!"

"Yes!" The three group leaders expressed their opinions one after another.

The terrain here of Dongyangguan is probably like this! Dongyangguan is located in the mountains across the Handan-Changchang Highway, with walls and towers.

Right Wing Xianglu Peak is the most steep peak among the peaks of Queens Ridge, with towering cliffs. Queens Ridge still has the ancient Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty. The east end is Dongyang Pass, and the Handan-Changchang Highway passes through it!

The peaks of Queen's Ridge and Xianglu Peak are towering, and the cliffs are difficult to climb. The Handan-Changchun Highway turns a sharp bay from south to north before reaching Dongyang Pass. On the west side of the road is Queen's Ridge and Xianglu Peak, and on the east side is a depression with open terrain.

.The end is Yiziling, less than 500 meters away from the main road.

This is the protruding part of the main peak of Tianzhu Ao. Going up the path at the foot of Yiziling Mountain is Tianzhu Ao. Opposite Tianzhu Ao across the ditch is Baitu Ridge. There is a cinnabar cave there, and you can reach it by walking along the cave.

Laodongyang Nao Pass.

There is a deep ditch between Baitu Ridge and Tianzhu'ao, which the locals call Dongdagou. This ditch has a trumpet mouth from east to west and reaches the Dongyangguan Tower. The Tianzhu'ao Mountain is steep and deep, with strange rocks and canines interlaced with each other. The mountain is ferocious. More

There is a ridge from Tianzhu'ao from east to west, like a sharp knife reaching directly in front of Dongyang Pass, forming horns with Queen's Ridge and Xianglu Peak.

If you activate crossfire here, the Handan-Chang Highway under Dongyang Pass will be sealed tightly. It is definitely a good place to block the attack!

Commander Li and the others had already surveyed the terrain when they arrived, and now they were arranging tasks.

"My order!" Master Li said seriously.

"Wow..." Everyone stood up.

"1: Xianglufeng position on the right wing; Xie Ziqi, commander of the second battalion of the 1062 regiment, is responsible for the position defense, Wang Bokai, commander of the third battalion, is the reserve team, and Luo Shiying, commander of the 1062 regiment, is in charge of command.

2: Central Tianzhu’ao position; Yang Menghou, commander of the first battalion of the 1063 regiment, is responsible for the position defense, Luo Gongliang, the first battalion of the 1062 regiment, is the reserve team, and Wang Jiecai, deputy lieutenant colonel of the 1063 regiment, is in charge of command.

Three: Laodongyangnao position on the left wing; Zhou Cexun, commander of the second battalion of the 1063 regiment, is responsible for the position defense, Zhao Qianyu, commander of the third battalion, is the reserve team, and Sun Jieqing, the colonel commander of the 1063 regiment, is in charge of the command.

Four: Yang Xianming, leader of the 1061 regiment, moved his troops closer to Changning Village between Licheng and Dongyangguan as the division's reserve team to strengthen the division's flanks and rear.

Five: Another platoon was stationed at Longwangmiao Village in Beishangou to prevent Japanese troops from taking the rear route for sneak attacks.

Six: Send another company forward to Xiangtangpu to serve as guard and reconnaissance mission for the entire division."

"Yes!" the three group leaders said loudly.

"As for the security team..." Commander Li looked at Hu Yizhou.

Due to the special status of the security group, the 47th Army could not command Hu Yizhou, so they could only negotiate.

"Mr. Li, if you can trust me, I will be responsible for the defense of Longwangmiao Village. How about protecting the rear of your department?" Hu Yizhou said.

"This...is very good!" Mr. Li agreed to Hu Yizhou's suggestion.

"Actually... I have an immature suggestion here. I wonder what Mr. Li thinks?" Hu Yizhou thought for a while and said.

"Oh? Does Commander Hu have better defensive measures?" Commander Li asked as he looked at the sand table.

"This..." Hu Yizhou pondered for a moment and walked to the sand table. Commander Li directly gave Hu Yizhou the command pole in his hand.

"If you brothers believe in me, Mr. Hu, then how about playing a big game with me, Mr. Hu?" Hu Yizhou asked, looking at the group leaders.

"Tell me about it?" Mr. Li took over.

"Judging from Commander Li's deployment, Hu really can't find any faults! No matter who it is, they can only deploy this way! And what I want to say is, judging from the terrain on the road from Shexian County to Dongyangguan,

There are several places perfect for ambushes!”

"If you brothers can trust me, how about you use one to two regiments to help our troops block the Japanese troops coming from Shexian County, and our troops will be responsible for eating part of the Japanese troops' vanguard?" Hu Yizhou asked.

"Ambush?" Several regiment leaders looked at each other in silence, then looked at Commander Li,

"How many Japanese can you guarantee to eat? How long will it take?" Master Li asked.

"If the Japs are marching without the assistance of heavy artillery, our troops can annihilate one thousand to two thousand Japs in a surprise attack! Even if they cannot be annihilated, they can still be severely damaged! In this way, your troops will be under defensive pressure

It will be reduced a lot!”

"Moreover, our department has brought a large number of landmines this time! Our department will bury large areas of landmines on the road from Xiangtangpu to Dongyangguan and on both sides of the road! With the help of these landmines, your department's defense pressure will be further reduced

!And it can also achieve the purpose of slowing down the speed of the Japanese invaders' attack!" Hu Yizhou said.

"Landmines? How many landmines do you have?" Commander Li asked.

"No more, no more, just over a thousand! There are anti-tank vehicle mines, anti-infantry mines, and even dirty mines that can only injure but not kill! What do you think? Do you want to join me to have a go?

"

"Oh, that's right! I brought ten military doctors, all of whom are medical college students, and their medical skills are quite good! In addition, I also spent a lot of money to purchase 10,000 tablets of anti-inflammatory medicine as life-saving medicine for war-wounded brothers! And this medical station

, I will put it in Changning Village!" Hu Yizhou said.

"That's very good! But how can you guarantee the annihilation of more than a thousand Japanese invaders? You just talk about the immortal Japanese!" Master Li asked.

"Only with our regiment's 17 heavy machine guns, 60 light machine guns, 18 mortars and numerous grenades!" Hu Yizhou said calmly, without any intention of pretending to be struck by lightning.
Chapter completed!
