Chapter 788 Anan's Plan
In war, sometimes it is similar to rock-scissors. Both sides guess each other's tricks and then formulate corresponding solutions.
At this moment, Anan Weiji, who was in charge of Licheng, had a company of sorrow and anger. As the commander of the division, he didn't need to go to the front line, he just needed to be in charge and command.
Anan is a hater and a general with some ability. This is a person who can fight Xue Laohuzai twice in Shashi and can still win and lose.
Well, this is also a ruthless person who doesn’t need to be wrong with semen, and he is definitely a loyal underground emperor.
Anan got angry because his family had lost their troops and generals; as for worrying, it was because the combat operations given to him were time-limited.
The maximum time of 15 days is the time limit for him. Because September will be entered after 15 days, and September will be another job transfer, so he doesn't have much time to take charge of the 109th Division.
If someone gave him an order before this, saying that he was using his existing troops to wipe out a security regiment, then Anan would only sneer and look down on whom? He would even think that it was too much to send a brigade.
But now, he couldn't and didn't dare to think so. Not to mention anything else, the unpleasant smell of burning corpses is still floating in Licheng.
15 days seem to be very long, and a security team is not very large. However, it is difficult to find and annihilate this security team in the surrounding mountains within 15 days.
At least, let’s talk about it if you need to find the other party?
Fortunately, things were developing very smoothly. The advance team I sent went deeper for more than ten kilometers and was not attacked, so the search area for battle was reduced a lot.
However, not long after being happy, the front reported that it was attacked by landmines, and even the bomb disposal engineers sent out with high-tech means suffered a lot of losses...
This is just the beginning, what will happen next? Even if you haven’t seen the shadow of the security team yet, you have lost dozens of people in your family... It’s so frustrating!
"Report!" At six o'clock in the afternoon, his chief of staff walked in.
"Tell me, I hope it's good news!" Anan said lightly.
"The leader of the division, and the frontier sent a telegram. They have successfully opened up the minefield northward and arrived at a river valley. According to the map information we have, the valley will reach the mountain basin where Nanweiquan Village is located three kilometers west."
"Towards northeast, you will lead to Liaoxiang in the Qingzhang River Valley! However, there is also a mark on the map information, which means that from the valley to the northeast, there will be a valley that is straight to the northwest, and it will reach the northern end of the Nanweiquan Small Basin."
"Now, the cavalry and infantry brigade that came out asked how to move? Go east or west? Or, divide the troops?"
The Chief of Staff said, while showing the terrain near Nanweiquan and their location on the map in front of Anan.
"Since that's the case... let them leave enough people to guard Sanchakou and establish a defensive position. Then, the large army turned west and occupied the small basin of Nanweiquan before dark tonight to establish a solid offensive front for our encirclement security team!"
"In addition, this nameless mountain is 1,200 meters above sea level, and it is marked as the 1,201 Heights! You ask the subsequent troops to step up north and build fortifications on the 1,200 Heights before dark to serve as the commanding heights for our advancement." Anan said.
"Hay, I'll make arrangements now!" His chief of staff left.
Comrade Liu Gan, who was determined to ambush, didn't know that Anan had already regarded the Dongshan where he was hiding, that is, the 1201 Highland, as an important node of the attack, and would have to occupy it.
Therefore, Liu Gan also hid in the unmoved place on the mountain, hoping that the Japanese would obediently walk through the valley below the mountain.
The lack of combat experience in large corps is one of Liu Gan's shortcomings, but he can't be blamed for this? However, Liu Gan is not greedy here, and he didn't think about eating too many Japanese soldiers in one bite. He just wanted to take advantage of it and left.
So, something fun has come...
"Yaxi, since the division commander asked us to attack westward, then, Songshan Squadron, you stayed to guard the Sanchakou, and the others followed me to the west! Akagi-kun, what should you do?" said Captain Yamazaki of the 109th Cavalry Brigade who received the order.
"Since you leave behind a squadron of cavalry, then we will leave a squadron of infantry and leave the troops directly under the brigade headquarters here! In addition, send a small team of soldiers up the mountain to search, and be sure to confirm whether there is an ambush on the mountain!" said Captain Akagi.
"Ambushes? The mountains here are steep and not easy to climb. There are not many trees on the mountain. The possibility of ambushing is too low!" said Captain Yamazaki.
"Be careful, there is no big mistake! Let's make arrangements first and set off immediately! It's not long before dark now. If you encounter a battle, it will be difficult to complete the task!" Captain Akagi said.
"Yaxi, you can arrange it, let's take the lead!" said Captain Yamazaki.
He was so active because the engineers had already explored the west for another kilometer and found no landmines. It seemed that there was only one kilometer of minefield. Without the threat of mines, he certainly wanted to make a contribution.
"Okay, you guys go first, we'll arrive later!" Akagi also wanted to take the lead, but the infantry was not faster than the cavalry, and they also had to establish positions or something, so they couldn't steal them.
Soon, hundreds of Japanese devils from the cavalry brigade rode the Eastern Yang horses all the way west, leaving only the damaged Songshan Squadron here.
Captain Akagi was not in a hurry, so he simply commanded an elite squad to go up the mountain with difficulty, and then commanded a squadron to stay and build fortifications.
Just when Akagi and the others were busy, Liu Gan felt very uncomfortable here.
"If I had known, I would have taken you out to ambush their marching queues! Alas, if you haven't fought for so long, most of you are recruits, which is a pity!" Looking at the densely packed Japanese devils in the valleys at the foot of the mountain, Liu Gan sighed in his heart. It's better to ambush them halfway, and he is afraid that he can't get out of it.
"Okay, follow my orders, let's approach quietly, be careful not to make a big noise under your feet!"
"Yes, battalion commander!" the soldiers replied.
"The Japanese established a position at the foot of the mountain, and there was a small team going up the mountain. Those on the mountain were not afraid of them, the second company on the top of the mountain could deal with them. Let's put all the firepower towards the Japanese group at the foot of the mountain, and we will retreat for three minutes! Then we will go around to the top of the mountain and go back directly!"
Chapter completed!
