    Xia Yang asked someone to unfold the defense map, and then turned his attention to the surrounding national army commanders.

    "Everyone, this is the Japanese army's defense map in Changzhi. It's basically all on it." Xia Yang pointed to the map.

    "Is thisaccurate?" a national army division commander asked.

    Xia Yang smiled and said: "Please believe in our army's intelligence collection and investigation capabilities. The Japanese army may make some moves, but there will basically be no major moves."

    After saying that, he set his sights on He Changxing.

    He Changxing nodded to him, and then began to give a basic explanation of the defense map.

    "The latest intelligence is that the Japanese army has built a large number of defenses in the Changzhi area and several surrounding counties. At the same time, they have dug a large number of trenches and pulled up hundreds of kilometers of barbed wire. If you want to pass through these,  to delay our army's offensive.

    In the southern area of ??Changzhi, the Japanese army concentrated three divisions and one brigade.  However, due to the previous continuous operations in the southern Shanxi area, these Japanese divisions were not at full strength, and the total number was about 50,000.

    The key is that they lack effective anti-tank weapons. The 37mm anti-tank guns equipped in large quantities by the Japanese army cannot penetrate the frontal armor of our tanks.  Basically, they wanted to block the advance of our tanks through anti-tank trenches and Japanese soldiers throwing cluster grenades with their lives to block the advance of our tanks.

    But this method is destined to cause the Japanese army to pay greater casualties, and it is also destined that they will not be able to persist in these areas for too long.  "

    "Wouldn't the Japanese army in North China send more troops to the Changzhi area?" Commander-in-Chief Wei asked, "If North China sends more troops to this area, or launches a raid on other areas in Shanxi, it will have a certain impact on our army's actions.  pressure."

    He Changxing said: "The Commander-in-Chief Wei is right. The Japanese army in North China does have the possibility of increasing its troops. After all, this is one of the gateways from Shanxi to Henan and Hebei. Once we occupy this place, we can do it  You can advance to attack and retreat to defend.

    But the latest information obtained by our intelligence network in North China is that the Japanese army in North China does not seem to have any intention to reinforce the remaining Japanese troops in the Changzhi area.

    If they want to reinforce Changzhi, they will need at least a week to start preparing the supplies needed for the battle.  But until now, our people have not discovered that the Japanese army has made these moves.  Now it is unrealistic for them to go to reinforce Changzhi.

    One week is enough for us to defeat Changzhi.  "

    "A week? Commander Xia, are you too confident in yourselves? Although the Japanese army suffered heavy losses, Commander Xia, your troops are also invincible. But these Japanese troops are not for a living after all. If they can really defeat them in a week  Changzhi, I, Old Liu, really want to give you a thumbs up." Bearded Liu Qingyuan gave Xia Yang a thumbs up.

    Xia Yang glanced at him indifferently and said with a smile: "From a military point of view, one week is a conservative estimate, maybe five days is enough. I say one week because our army has completed its deployment outside Changzhi. It may take  In about two days.¡±

    Liu Qingyuan looked at Xia Yang and knew that he was not joking, but came to this conclusion after carefully evaluating the strengths of both parties.

    So he said nothing more and chose to remain silent.  Otherwise, if you say more, it will appear that you are short-sighted.

    At this time, the Commander-in-Chief of Wei said: "Commander Xia, I don't know what your battle plan is."

    Xia Yang pointed to the Japanese defense map in the Changzhi area and said: "Judging from the Japanese army's defense map, they did not place their troops on a certain line of defense, but blocked them layer by layer. Each layer of defense deployed a lot of firepower and  troops.

    It is almost impossible for our army to break through their direction in one breath.  Blindly pursuing a quick victory will only suddenly increase casualties and expose flaws to Okamura Neji.  "

    "Then if I go by what you said, it might take more than a week." Liu Qingyuan said at this time.

    But Xia Yang shook his head and said: "So, our army cannot choose to fight against the Japanese army as it did before. Instead, it needs to change the form of fighting according to changes in equipment, and it also needs to make corresponding changes to the fighting methods.  .¡±

    "Then how to change it?" Commander-in-Chief Wei wanted to hear Xia Yang's thoughts.

    For him, the things he learned at Whampoa Military Academy??Before Xia Yang, a newly rising star, it seemed that there was not enough.

    Apart from anything else, at least in terms of the art of command, the Commander-in-Chief Wei had to admit that among the entire national army generals, there were not many, or even none, who could compare with Xia Yang.

    ??From the Battle of Wutai Mountain, the Battle of Tianbai Mountain, to the capture of Datong, to the surprise attack on Chahar, and then to the capture of Taiyuan.  After a series of battles, Xia Yang's outstanding commanding talents had completely impressed the Commander-in-Chief of the Guard, a veteran general with a high vision.

    Xia Yang smiled confidently, then put his hands on the map.

    The position of his palm is exactly at two nodes of the map.

    Those two nodes are also the two nodes of the Japanese defense in Changzhi.

    Then Xia Yang's palms moved forward along the two nodes, and finally merged into one.

    "Outflank and defeat them one by one! Our army's large-scale armored forces should not conduct a full-scale breakthrough on the Japanese army. Instead, they should use their super mobility, more powerful firepower, and powerful lethality against infantry to carry out more efficient operations.  war of annihilation.

    Therefore, we must target the offensive power at several key nodes.  Break through from these nodes and then detour back to the Japanese rear.  They outflanked their troops, and then attacked them from both front and back, causing the Japanese army to lose sight of one thing and lose its foothold in advance or retreat.

    Our powerful howitzer regiment will use hundreds of artillery pieces to tear out a gap in all directions of the Japanese army.  Using the mobility of tanks and armored vehicles, the Japanese troops were eliminated in these areas before they could react.  "

    When Xia Yang said these words, his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

    It¡¯s as if the map in front of you has turned into a battlefield.  The sword light and blood shadow have already flashed on the map.

    "A pincer offensive?" said the Commander-in-Chief of the Guard.

    Xia Yang nodded and said: "Yes, it is a pincer offensive. However, we lack the air force and airborne troops. The offensive may not be as three-dimensional as the German army's attack on France, but it is enough. After all, the Japanese defense line in Datong is completely different from the Maginot Line.  They cannot be compared." (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
