    In the southeastern Shanxi region, although the intensity of the encirclement and suppression was not very large, many strongholds were built in advance, and the inspections of people and caravans were much stricter than before.

    Before the Japanese encirclement and suppression troops entered the Wutai Mountain area, Xia Yang sent people to let Chen Shiliang withstand the Japanese offensive pressure.  They will try their best to attract the attention of the Japanese army outside Mount Wutai.

    At the same time, if the time is right, some troops will be sent directly into the Wutai Mountain area to support Chen Shiliang and the others in their operations.

    "The Japanese troops encircling and suppressing the Wutai Mountain area include the Japanese 32nd Brigade coming from the direction of Jincheng, Brigade Commander Fujiwara Akutsu, and Chief of Staff Saburo Tooba. The number of direct combatants should be about 7,000.

    There is also the Japanese 74th Brigade transferred from Taiyuan. The brigade is led by Okouchi Nosuke and the Chief of Staff Yoshio Nagayama.  The number of combatants is also about 7,000.  There are also three puppet army regiments that work together, with a total number of 10,000 people.

    In addition to these main forces, they also have two aviation squadrons and an independent armored brigade, with about 30 tanks and more than 1,000 people.

    In addition, there are some maintenance committees around Mount Wutai, as well as civilian workers who provide logistics, as well as transportation brigades, etc. The total number of people is at least three to five thousand.  Such a huge force is already equivalent to the combat capability of a Japanese division.  "Hao Shiwen said while reading the deployment of Japanese troops in the Wutai Mountain area.

    Ma Siyuan touched his head, and then asked: "What is their defense situation in Laiyuan County, Fuping County, and Pingshan County?"

    After all, these areas are the places they will attack in the future.  Therefore, Ma Siyuan is more concerned about the intelligence in these areas.

    Hao Shiwen turned over two pages and then said: "The first is Laiyuan County. Two squadrons of Japanese troops are stationed here, with a total of about 500 people. There are also more than 500 Japanese and puppet troops. However, the combat strength of those Japanese and puppet troops  Sparse and basically negligible.

    The person responsible for the defense of the entire Laiyuan County is the Japanese Army¡¯s Major Heishan, a very young officer who graduated from the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School.

    Fuping County, because of its relatively remote location, the Japanese troops stationed here were as strong as a squadron and there was a puppet army brigade of 200 people.  Squadron leader Hirata Kazichi was also a recently promoted officer.

    Pingcheng County, two squadrons of Japanese troops are stationed. The commander, Shiratori Ozo, is a veteran who has fought in many battles. He was also among the troops that originally attacked Mancheng.  "

    Having said this, Staff Officer Hao paused and said, "In addition to these, there is one more thing that needs attention. Although the Japanese troops stationed in each county are not small, they are scattered among various strongholds.

    There are a large number of these strongholds, distributed on the traffic arteries around these counties.  There are about twenty or thirty people in each stronghold.  Basically, the puppet army and the Japanese army accounted for half each.

    Generally, a stronghold will be equipped with one heavy machine gun or two crooked light machine guns.  Some larger strongholds will even be equipped with mortars.  "

    The information he mentioned can be said to be very detailed.

    The reason why such accurate information can be obtained must be attributed to the investigation of the ANBU and the security battalion.  During this time, they successfully obtained a large amount of information.

    To summarize these intelligence, it has become the information in Hao Shiwen's hands.

    "Ma Siyuan, if you have any ideas, just tell me." Xia Yang asked after seeing Ma Siyuan's thoughtful look.

    Ma Siyuan has commanding ability. After all, he graduated from Whampoa Military Academy, and it is said that his grades were among the best at that time.  It's just that because of the suppression by some people, it didn't get much use.

    If it weren¡¯t for Xia Yang, Ma Siyuan might still be just a small group leader now.

    Ma Siyuan looked at Xia Yang, then smiled and said, "Master, I've said it."

    Xia Yang said: "But it doesn't matter."

    Ma Siyuan then said: "My plan is this. Since our main purpose is to destroy the Japanese stronghold, thereby attracting the main force of the Japanese army, and focus its attention from the Wutai Mountain area to the southeastern Shanxi area.

    Then we actually don¡¯t have to put so much effort into attacking the dotted Japanese strongholds one by one.

    These strongholds of the Japanese army not only have strong fortresses, but also have a lot of people guarding them.  Although we have some mortars and flamethrowers, we lack powerful attack weapons such as field guns.  If we attack these strongholds one by one, we are likely to pay a lot of unnecessary sacrifices.  "

      Xia Yang nodded and said: "You are right, what are your thoughts?"

    Ma Siyuan pointed to Fuping County Road: "Fuping County only has one Japanese squadron, and its location is relatively remote. If the surrounding Japanese troops want to assist Fuping County, even if they are allowed to leave, it will take a day to arrive.  "

    "What do you mean, ignore those strongholds and attack their county towns?" Xia Yang said.

    Ma Siyuan nodded and said: "Yes, it is to attack Fuping County directly. The reason for attacking here is that there are not many people stationed here and the geographical location is remote. The Japanese army will not expect to be attacked here.

    Another aspect is that there are only a few routes in and out of Fuping County, and they are difficult to navigate.  Even if the surrounding Japanese troops send troops to support us, we can come to a encirclement point to provide reinforcements.  "

    "What about after we capture Fuping County?" Xia Yang asked.

    He completely agrees with what Ma Siyuan is saying now.  Because this is also his idea, either not to fight. If there is a fight, then naturally he must concentrate his superior forces and attack the county seat.

    Those strongholds were relatively large, and even if they were to knock down seven or eight, the Japanese would not suffer any pain.  If you hit the county seat directly, you can beat the little devil hard in one go.

    "If you have any other ideas, just say so." Xia Yang said.

    Ma Siyuan said: "After attacking Fuping County, we can use the high mobility of the cavalry and our strength advantage in local areas, and then follow the same pattern to attack Pingshan County or Laiyuan County.

    I have seen that these two counties are both in mountainous areas. If the Japanese army sends troops to support the attacked Fuping County, these two counties will inevitably fall into a state of emptiness in terms of military strength.

    By then we will be able to carry out a violent attack on one of the two county towns without sending too many people.  Even if these two counties cannot be captured, the Japanese army must be so frightened that they call for support from neighboring counties, such as Lingqiu County, or the Japanese troops stationed throughout the city.  "

    Xia Yang said: "What about the future? Is there anything else?"

    So far, many of the things Ma Siyuan has considered coincide with him.

    When Ma Siyuan said this, he raised his head, smiled at Xia Yang and said, "Master, this is all I have. Once I get here, I don't know what to do next." (Remember this site's website address: www.  hlnovel.com
