    Under the leadership of the little correspondent, Lei Lei walked into the headquarters located in a large courtyard.  At this time, Commander-in-Chief Chen and Deputy Commander Su were lying on a table looking at the map and discussing something.

    "Report!" Lei Lei stood at the door and shouted.

    Commander-in-Chief Chen raised his head and saw Lei Lei, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he greeted: "Haha, Comrade Xiao Lei, you're just in time, come in quickly!" After saying that, he smiled and said to Deputy Commander Su next to him: "Hehe, Comrade Xiao Lei, you're just in time, come in!"  Our Comrade Xiao Lei has made rapid progress, and I heard from Political Commissar Gan that he has submitted an application for party membership to our party organization."

    Deputy Commander Su also smiled and nodded: "The revolution is in no particular order. As long as we can stand with the people, we welcome it at any time!"

    Lei Lei smiled awkwardly and said: "Now I am accepting the test of the party!"

    Chen Yi waved his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Xiaolei, I called you over because I wanted to ask you something!"

    "What's the matter?" Lei Lei asked.

    Chen Yi looked at Su Yu. Deputy Commander Su walked up to Lei Ting and motioned for him to sit down. Then he asked: "I heard that you also know a lot about the enemy's reorganized 11th Division. I want to ask you about their division."  Case!"

    "That's right!" Lei Lei felt relieved and immediately said, "Okay, I'll tell you everything I know!"

    Deputy Commander Su asked: "How much do you know about Hu Congjun?"

    Lei Lei thought for a moment and said: "I don't have much close friendship with Hu Congjun, and I have only met a few times. He is very good to me. The last time I was taken away from Tanbu, Hu Congjun still wanted me to stay."  His division is working hard for him!"

    Commander-in-Chief Chen and Su Yu looked at each other and nodded knowingly.

    Lei Lei continued: "In my opinion, he is a cunning person and is very partial to his subordinates. This is very similar to Zhang Linfu, except that he is more introverted and cautious. His backer is Chief of Staff Chen Cheng, although he is  He is more shrewd, but sometimes also harsh. I heard Zhang Xian say that when he was Peng Tianguang's deputy, the two of them squeezed each other out. In the end, he pushed Peng Tianguang away and took the position of commander of the Eighteenth Army.  . In terms of fighting, Hu Congjun is a victorious general. He is brave when he needs to be brave and cunning when he needs to be!"

    "What does it mean to be brave when you should be brave, and be cunning when you should be cunning?" Su Yu asked.

    Lei Lei said: "During the battle in western Hubei, the Japanese had already reached the Shipai Fortress. He led the 11th Division to hold on and took the lead, so he was able to hold on to the fortress and repel the Japanese army. He also received a Blue Sky and White Sun Medal.  During the battle in western Hunan, he was more cunning. Originally, he seized the opportunity to block the Japanese in the Xuefeng Mountains, but he followed Wang Hui's orders and opened a gap to allow the Japanese to go smoothly.  Breakout. I heard Zhang Xian ask him afterward. He actually didn¡¯t know that this would be the result. It was just that he was afraid that the Japanese would jump over the wall and defeat his 18th Army!"

    Chen Yi nodded and said to Su Yu: "Haha, this Hu Congjun only knows how to take advantage of the situation!"

    Su Yu also nodded.

    Thunder shook his head and said: "I don't think so. I think he has very strong judgment and is very cautious in fighting. He would rather delay the opportunity than take risks to win!"

    "That's right!" Commander Chen nodded and asked, "How confident do you think we can be if we encircle and annihilate the reorganized 11th Division this time?"

    Lei Lei was stunned for a moment, and said with some embarrassment: "Thishehe, why did the boss ask me about this kind of thing?"

    "Hey, we are just having a casual discussion. We don't take it seriously if it's right or wrong. Just say what you think!" Mr. Chen comforted him like this.

    Thunder nodded, but then asked: "I wonder how many troops we are prepared to use to surround and annihilate them?"

    Chen Yi looked at Su Yu. Su Yu thought for a moment and told him: "Now we have four columns near Lu Village."

    Lei Lei thought about it and found out that according to the PLA's troop establishment at this time, a column had two to three brigades or divisions under its jurisdiction, which was actually equivalent to an army and the reorganized division of the Kuomintang at this time. The full strength should be 30,000.  However, after the war, each column had a lot of attrition, but it should be about 23,000 to 25,000 people, and the total should be 100,000 people.  The full strength of a reorganized division is more than 30,000 people. In other words, if the East China Field Army surrounded the 11th reorganized division at this time, its strength would be more than three times theirs.  Thinking of this, Lei Lei asked again: "So, how many people did we dispatch when we besieged and reorganized the 74th Division?"

    &nbspTo seize this siege means to defend this road, and the terrain of this siege is difficult and difficult to defend, so Brigadier Yang Tao arranged for a reinforced company to come and garrison, and the person in charge of this reinforced company was a deputy battalion commander.  .

    The Malian Mountain stronghold in the east is a lot more troublesome, because this commanding height controls a pass crossing the river from Yuezhuang direction, and this stronghold is relatively isolated. Although it can overlook the north-south traffic, if it is really besieged by the enemy,  But it is also difficult to rescue.  In response to this situation, Zhang Xian felt that it was better to abandon this stronghold and focus the defense in this direction on the north bank of the Yi River.  However, Hu Congjun believes that with this point, there is an extra point of insurance. What must be achieved at this time is to be foolproof. Even a little carelessness may lead to the danger of annihilation of the entire army.  Therefore, after discussion, Brigadier Yang proposed a compromise plan. This point must be controlled, but the distance can be measured with a howitzer. If the enemy is besieged, artillery fire can be used to support it.  This plan was finally accepted by Hu Congjun, so Yang Tao sent another infantry reinforcement company to garrison here.

    As for the west, it has been completely handed over to the 18th Brigade.  The headquarters of the 18th Brigade was stationed in Gaozhuang. Going further west through the rolling mountains, you can reach Lu Village. Between Lu Village and Nanma, there is a winding and rugged road that goes around the mountains. Once you enter  The first stop on the plain is Gaozhuang Village. The Yihe River also flows from here, flowing south of Gaozhuang and leading directly to Nanma.  The two regiments of the 18th Brigade were now deployed around Gaozhuang, setting up defenses across both banks of the Yi River.

    Zhang Xian accompanied Hu Congjun to the 18th Brigade to inspect the situation, but found that the road came from the west. On the north bank of Yihe River on the edge of Gaozhuang, there happened to be a mountain. Because there was an ancient pagoda built on it in the past, the locals called it  It's called Tashan.  At this time, the tower on Tashan Mountain has long been in ruins, but this mountain peak also strangles the key point of the road from Lu Village, which is a throat for entering and exiting Nanma.  Brigadier Qin relied on this Tashan Mountain to place one regiment on the south bank of the Yi River and another regiment on the north bank of the Yi River. At the same time, he also established strongholds on several nearby peaks to guard the highway traffic.

    Seeing Brigadier Qin¡¯s arrangement, Hu Congjun kept nodding his head, seemingly very satisfied with Brigadier Qin.

    When everyone climbed up the Xishan Mountain near Gaozhuang, Zhang Xian discovered that there was a higher mountain in the northwest of Tashan. The road was passing between Tashan and the higher mountain, so  Asked: "Commander Qin, what is the name of the mountain over there?"

    Brigadier Qin looked along Zhang Xian¡¯s direction and told him: ¡°That mountain is called Gushan!¡±

    "That mountain peak is very dangerous!" Zhang Xian said to Hu Congjun: "If the enemy occupies that mountain peak, then the south, west and north sides of the nearby area will be under their fire control!"

    Hu Congjun nodded and asked Brigadier Qin: "Old Qin, how many troops have you arranged on that mountain?"

    Brigadier Qin said: "I have arranged a company."

    Zhang Xian frowned and said, "That's an important point. The strength of one company may be a bit low!"

    Brigadier Qin said: "That mountain peak is relatively independent, and the surrounding terrain is open. As long as there is sufficient firepower, it will be difficult for the enemy to get close. It is an easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack place. I think a company of troops is enough!"

    Zhang Xian shook his head and said with certainty: "That is a commanding height. I think it must be the enemy's target. If it is not heavily guarded, I'm afraid there will be problems!"

    Brigadier Qin was a little embarrassed and said: "I also want to send more troops, but our troops are limited!"

    Hu Congjun waved his hand and said decisively: "We don't have many soldiers, so we are required to use the minimum number of troops to achieve the maximum effect. What I mean by minimum here does not mean that you must use the minimum number of troops, but that you must use the minimum number of troops.  Depending on the actual situation and the importance, arrange the most appropriate troop strength! Old Tan, the strength of one company in that place is indeed too small, you must send at least one battalion there!"

    "Yes!" Brigadier Qin had no choice but to agree.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
