On the evening of January 8, the Fourth Red Regiment and the Red 100th Regiment successfully reunited.
Yang Dingguo also successfully met the two famous ancestors who could only be seen in textbooks before.
"Captain Geng, Political Commissar Yang, I am Yang Dingguo, commander of the 100th Regiment. I am here to attack Loushanguan with you."
Although they are all at the same level, their qualifications and age are there, so Yang Dingguo will not be ignorant.
What's more, both of them are the objects of his admiration.
Both sides saluted each other.
Geng and Yang naturally knew about the situation of the 34th Red Division, because they still knew something about Yang Dingguo.
"Dingguo, there's no need to be so formal. Let's go and observe the terrain together and chat on the way."
Time is running out. If we can capture Loushanguan earlier, the safety of the Red Army can be guaranteed earlier. Naturally, these people are not willing to waste time here.
In this way, the three of them walked and chatted, and climbed to a nearby mountain peak to observe the surrounding situation.
Looking at the situation at Loushanguan, Political Commissar Yang couldn't help but sigh: "Looking at Loushanguan standing majestically on top of the mountains, the peaks are like swords, reaching straight into the clouds. The pass is so dangerous, it's really chilling."
"It's such a dangerous level, it's not easy to win."
Captain Geng looked at Loushanguan in the distance and frowned.
If the enemy defends such a dangerous Loushanguan Pass, it will definitely cause huge casualties to the Red Army.
Loushanguan is indeed dangerous and difficult to win easily.
But Yang Dingguo remembered that the Red Army not only captured Loushanguan, but also captured it twice.
The brave Red Army soldiers cannot be defeated.
The three began to discuss tactics.
Before even a few words could be exchanged, Commander Geng's guards hurried over.
"Regiment leader, political commissar, and communications platoon have made a major discovery."
Captain Geng asked hurriedly: "What discovery?"
Political Commissar Yang and Yang Dingguo also looked eagerly at the guards running over.
The major discovery at this time could only be about the enemy troops at Loushan Pass, and there was no room for the three of them to be impatient.
The guard also knew the urgency and said hurriedly: "When the soldiers of the communication platoon were setting up the wires, they accidentally connected the phone line to the enemy's phone line. We can all hear clearly what the enemy said on the phone. .”
I guess, is it so magical?
Even if you set up a line, you can reach the enemy's phone line. You wouldn't dare to write that in a novel.
As the art of war goes, if you know yourself and your enemy, you will be victorious in every battle.
Now that we can understand the enemy's deployment through their phone calls, Loushanguan can be said to be within easy reach.
"Hahaha, God help me!"
"Go quickly and ask Communications Director Pan to monitor Qian Jun's phone calls all the time. I want to know their every move!"
"yes!"
The guard turned around and ran towards the communications platoon.
The three of them looked at each other and smiled. Political Commissar Yang was the first to say, "Haha, Dingguo is our lucky star."
"Commander Geng and I kept discussing how to attack Loushanguan on the way here. We were already prepared to pay a lot of casualties."
"I didn't expect that such a great thing would happen as soon as you arrived."
Captain Geng also smiled and agreed, and for a while, the tense atmosphere dissipated a lot.
In response, Yang Dingguo quickly waved his hand and said: "This is all the credit of our communications platoon soldiers, and it has nothing to do with me."
...
At the same time, Loushan closed.
Hou Zhidan's two regiments had already discovered the Red Army troops at the foot of the mountain.
While they were nervous, the personnel of various ministries were also mobilizing intensively. Obviously, they had no intention of surrendering. Both regiments wanted to fight with the Red Army.
However, they did not know that their every move was monitored by the Red Army.
Looking at the enemy situation coming from the communications platoon, the three began to analyze and discuss tactics.
How to capture Loushanguan with minimal casualties is the top priority.
After all, if a large number of casualties occur despite knowing the enemy's defense deployment, it is the responsibility of the commanders and combatants.
Based on the enemy information sent, everyone analyzed the most important one.
The enemy's rear defenses are weak and can serve as a breakthrough point.
"Hahaha, the front is so tightly guarded that they can't even insert a needle into it, but there aren't many people at the rear. Isn't this just like a camel in the desert - caring about its head but not its buttocks?"
Captain Geng clapped his hands and laughed, feeling much relieved.
To be honest, he has never fought such an easy battle.
This is just like Tathagata Buddha beating Sun Wukong. Although Sun Wukong made thousands of changes, he still couldn't escape from Tathagata Buddha's palm, and was finally crushed under the Five Fingers Mountain.
"We only need to arrange a company of soldiers to go around the rear of Loushanguan, and then attack from both front and back. According to the nature of the Guizhou army, they will not be able to hold on for long before they collapse."
"It's true that Loushanguan is one of the most dangerous passes in the world, but if you're not good enough, it doesn't matter how dangerous you are."
"However, arrogant soldiers will be defeated. Although the enemy is weak, we still have to pay attention."
"Commander Geng, let Captain Yang of the Second Company lead his troops to retreat."
Despise the enemy strategically and attach importance to the enemy tactically.
No matter what kind of enemy we face, we cannot take it lightly. This is the most basic quality of a commander and fighter.
Commander Geng nodded to Political Commissar Yang's proposal. He was relieved that the Second Company would take up the matter.
Just when Commander Geng was about to agree, Yang Dingguo spoke.
"Commander Geng, Political Commissar Yang, let us leave the rest of the matter to our 100th Regiment. Although our 100th Regiment is not full now, with only more than 300 people, we can definitely complete this task beautifully."
Although the positions are equal, Yang Dingguo has always put himself in the position of a junior to face these seniors, even though these seniors are now young people.
After all, Yang Dingguo still had too much to learn.
Regarding Yang Dingguo's proposal, Captain Geng agreed directly after thinking for a moment.
A sneak attack from behind does not require too many people, but more people will increase the risk of exposure.
Judging from the current number of people in the 100 group, it is indeed suitable.
As for combat effectiveness, Commander Geng has no doubts at all. The previous battles have clearly shown it, haven't they?
3,000 men were able to hold off 30,000 troops for two days and two nights, and they still did not collapse despite the enemy's repeated bombings.
When he first heard the news, Commander Geng thought that the 34th Red Division was a rare and powerful army in the world.
"Okay, then I'll leave this detour mission to you."
"The attack will begin tomorrow morning."
"Promise to complete the mission!"
...
That night, the soldiers in the cooking class slaughtered pigs, cooked rice, and prepared pork stewed vermicelli that the soldiers loved to eat. All the soldiers in the army had a delicious meal, and then began to take turns to rest.
Yang Dingguo also led the 100 regiments to move toward the rear of Loushanguan at night. He planned to rest after arriving.
