After Liu Yimin finished talking about this, he began to talk about the specific combat missions of the three brigades: "Now, the little devils have assembled heavy troops on the front line in Xuzhou. What do they want to do? That is to find the main force of my instructor division for a decisive battle in an attempt to eliminate us in one fell swoop. Comrades

The burden on our shoulders is very heavy. We must lead the Japs by the nose and lead them all the way south, but we must also be careful not to fall into the encirclement of the Japs' heavy army group and avoid heavy losses. This task is what the common people call leading the cow.

When the cow is gone, the mad cow can't gore it. What should we do? When people lead the cow, they have to put a ring on the cow's nose so that it can be held. We must do the same! That is, we must not stay in front of the little devil.

Continuously ambush and harass, letting them know that we are in front of them and will soon fall into their encirclement, so that they can pursue forward desperately."

Liang Xingchu, the commander of the Third Luxi Guard Regiment, has a nickname called Liang Daya. He may not know it, but Liu Yimin knows that he is definitely a first-rate general in our army. After hearing what Liu Yimin said so well, Liang Xingchu raised his hand and asked to speak.

.

Liu Yimin nodded and signaled Liang Xingchu to speak.

Liang Xingchu stood up and saluted and said: "Reporting to the division commander, I think this battle needs further consideration. With so many Japanese troops, they can completely outflank us from both wings instead of chasing us all the time. When we first arrived in northern Jiangsu, we headed towards Jiangsu.

There are rivers and water networks everywhere in Zhongqu, and there are no bridges or boats, which limits the mobility of the troops. Besides, there are many miscellaneous troops and local security teams of the Kuomintang here. We have entered their scope of strength, and conflicts may arise.

Please consider these issues, Commander."

Liu Yimin felt that Liang Xingchu was really a tiger general, and he had really considered it well. After signaling Liang Xingchu to sit down, Liu Yimin said: "Liang Xingchu is right. I hope comrades can learn from Liang Xingchu and consider the disadvantages before every battle.

Think about the difficulties. Our combat plan makes it very clear that we must move and deploy first. What does enemy first mean? It means being one or two beats ahead of the enemy. For example, if the Japanese army is now gathering in Xuzhou, we must take action immediately.

, before the Japs deploy their troops and pull up the net to pursue them, withdraw the main force outside the small Japs’ big net, and use small troops to pretend to be the main force to lure the Japs. Our plan is to lure the Japs towards the Yangtze River, but the main force must not go to the Yangtze River.

, there is the Jiangbei defense line of the Japs, and there are planes and warships to help. Going there is like throwing yourself into a trap. You can't go to the sea either. The Japs' combined fleet is very powerful. Hundreds of planes are waiting to bomb our army! Our army

The main force can only go west. It needs to take action immediately. When it goes south to the front line of Gaoyou, the cavalry battalions of three brigades will be left behind to lure the enemy. The main force will quickly turn around and move westward, hiding in Bengbu and waiting for a fierce attack there.

Knock the Japs on the ground, and then break through Jinpu Road and enter Wanbei. Let the Japs understand that we are heading towards Wuhan and to defend Wuhan. After evading the right-wing troops of the heavy Japanese army heading south, the main force returns to southwest Shandong, and the brigades

All left troops to cooperate with the four detachments of the New Fourth Army to carry out guerrilla warfare in the Jiangsu-Anhui border area. After completing the task of luring the enemy, the three cavalry battalions must quickly break away from contact with the enemy and move to guerrilla behind enemy lines. Jiangsu is so big, no matter how strong the Japs are,

, it is also impossible to draw out an airtight skirmish line, there are always loopholes. This is not a problem for our small cavalry unit who came from the old Red Army."

Liu Yimin said this, which is equivalent to finishing the basic ideas and methods of this operation.

Cheng Cuilin felt that this plan was good overall, but there was one thing that seemed inappropriate, that is, pretending to move westward might cause trouble to move eastward, which would cause dissatisfaction with Chiang Kai-shek.

Liu Yimin said that the purpose of the Japs chasing the main force of instructors was to eliminate worries and clear the way for the capture of Wuhan. Only by feinting to the west could the Japs believe that the main force of instructors had completely left Shandong. Since the Japs wanted to capture Wuhan, let them

They went to fight. The main force of the national army had rested for so long, and it was time for them to confront the Japs. I believe that the Japs would not be able to take advantage of them. From a strategic point of view, only by allowing the Japs to occupy more space could they be allowed to fight.

Continuously divide the troops and turn the field divisions into garrison divisions. This is also the embodiment of Chairman Chiang’s strategy of trading space for time. When the little devils madly attack Wuhan and fight with the main force of the national army, we will be on their butts

Stab them again and make them miserable.

When Liu Yimin said this, the cadres had completely understood it.

After the meeting, Liu Yimin told Liu Jianshe to quickly send troops to investigate the route, and at the same time organize the people to clear the country. The little devil is now angry and will definitely retaliate against the people, and must do everything possible to reduce the losses of the masses. Of course, the most fundamental way is to use the troops
