"The 1st Cavalry Division has arrived, behind the mountains twenty miles away to the south, and the Mongols haven't discovered it yet. I decided to use our division as bait to completely eliminate Horqin's left wing."
At the meeting before the battle, Wang Yaowen called over the chief officers of each regiment and briefed them on the battle plan in detail.
What is the overall plan and what are the tasks of each regiment, down to the time and place, very detailed.
Absolutely...there is absolutely no such thing as a rallying cry.
Hearing that there were reinforcements, the 99th Division was excited.
They originally thought that staying on the left wing would provide cover for the main force. Well now, with the arrival of the First Cavalry Division, they can also eat meat.
After occupying Hebei, the Central Strategic Cluster began to divide its forces.
The Ninth Division cooperated with the Sixth Division of the Central Plains Strategic Cluster to deal with Duduo. Wang Siyi personally commanded the Second Division to attack Hauge. The remaining First Cavalry Division and Second Cavalry Division also had their own tasks.
The Second Cavalry Division occupied the line of the Great Wall at Xifengkou and Da'ankou, while the First Cavalry Division launched an attack on Shanhaiguan.
Xikut, who was guarding Shanhaiguan in the Qing Dynasty, heard that Jinzhou was missing and quickly led troops to reinforce it.
As a result, they suffered a bloody blow in front of the Tashan defense line and lost more than two-thirds of their troops.
Sikut had no choice but to retreat to Shanhaiguan, only to be greeted by the 1st Cavalry Division with more powerful combat capabilities.
Shanhaiguan faced the Central Plains and had no defensive measures. Faced with the attack of more than 50,000 national defense troops, Xikut was stretched thin and was wiped out after only one day.
After occupying Shanhaiguan, the First Cavalry Division rushed towards Liaodong without stopping.
As soon as they arrived nearby, they learned that there was a war going on in the Xilamulun River area.
Wang Mo was worried about not having a fight, so he hurried over.
As for the news of his arrival, Lou Fu didn't even know about it at this time, let alone the Mongols.
The scouts of the 1st Cavalry Division reported back the situation of the confrontation between the 99th Division and Horqin's left wing. Wang Mo immediately realized that this was an excellent opportunity.
He quickly contacted Wang Yaowen and formulated this plan to lure the snake out of its hole.
That is to use the 99th Division as bait to trick Horqin into launching a full-scale attack on the left wing.
And when Horqin's left wing was completely engaged in the battle, the 1st Cavalry Division, which had always been hidden, came out again.
"Now we need a regiment at the front of the army to act as a decoy and must withstand the Mongols' attack."
The 1st Cavalry Division used the 99th Division as bait. If the 99th Division wanted the war to go smoothly, it also needed to send some of its troops away from the main formation to show the Mongols their flaws.
Only in this way can the Mongols be fooled.
But it has to be said that this task is very dangerous. If you are not careful, you may be eaten by the Mongols.
Will the soldiers of the Wehrmacht be afraid?
"Reporting to the division commander, this task can only be undertaken by our 2nd Regiment."
Xu Erlu, the leader of the 2nd regiment, stood up first, with an air of superiority.
But seeing him, Wang Yaowen frowned.
"Your second regiment has another important use."
Xu Erlu frowned, as if he had read through his thoughts.
"In terms of defensive capabilities, our 2nd Regiment is second. Who here dares to say it is first? Breaking away from the main formation and fighting alone is exactly the strength of our 2nd Regiment. It would be foolish not to give this task to our 2nd Regiment. command."
"How presumptuous! You still want to tell me how to fight?"
Faced with Wang Yaowen's reprimand, Xu Erlu refused to give in.
"Teacher, you have to be reasonable!"
Seeing the general quarreling with his subordinates, military administrator Deng Xiangwu hurriedly stepped forward.
"I think Commander Xu is right. Such a dangerous mission can only be completed by the 2nd Regiment who is good at guarding it."
Seeing that he had the support of the military and government, Xu Erlu was very proud and hurriedly hammered the corner.
"Please rest assured, Commander, our 2nd Regiment is the hardest rock in the world, and we are guaranteed to crush his Mongolian teeth."
Seeing that other people also agreed with the second regiment's request to fight, Wang Yaowen was furious.
"This is your military order. If something goes wrong, I will skin you."
Xu Erlu didn't care.
"If something goes wrong, I'll tear off the head myself and use it as a chamber pot for the teacher."
The combat plan was finalized and the entire 99th Division was dispatched.
The 2nd Regiment walked directly in front of the entire army. At the beginning, the distance between them was still moderate, which fully demonstrated the caution of the Wehrmacht.
The Mongolian cavalry were already cruising around, like a pack of wolves hunting, patiently looking for weaknesses.
Among the Chinese soldiers, Wang Yaowen always had a cold face, and it seemed to everyone that he was unhappy.
Deng Xiangwu was a little confused.
"Sending the second regiment to fight is what everyone expected, so why did you commit such a crime?"
Seeing that no one was around, Wang Yaowen confided his feelings.
"It's you Hu Tu! If something happens to the boy from Xu Erlu, there's no way to explain it."
Deng Xiangwu was a little strange.
"Soldiers go to the battlefield and live and die. Even if they die, what's the surprise?"
Wang Yaowen looked strange.
"His surname is Xu!"
Deng Xiangwu was not a fool after all and reacted immediately.
"You mean, this kid..."
The matter has reached this point, and there is no possibility of changing it. Wang Yaowen can only nod depressedly.
"The fifth son of the Xu family. If something happens, you and I won't be able to live without you."
Deng Xiangwu was really angry.
"Old Wang, it's so hard for you to hide this from me!"
Wang Yaowen spread his hands.
"I'm not allowed to say anything from above. This kid is also afraid of being treated specially. What can I do?"
Xu Erlu is naturally Xu Ruolin's youngest brother.
The handsome little boy back then has now grown into a qualified member of the National Defense Forces and served as the regiment leader.
Although he is the youngest man in the Xu family, Xu Erlu has always followed his brother-in-law as an example and is quite masculine.
After joining the army, he always paid attention to concealing his identity. He started as an ordinary soldier, accumulated step by step, and finally became a regiment leader.
He never thinks that there is anything special about his identity. If others can endure danger and sacrifice, so can he.
That's what he thinks now.
Seeing a group of Mongolian cavalry charging forward, being dispersed by the muskets of the 2nd regiment, they turned around and ran away, with a hint of ridicule on his lips.
This acting is really terrible!
But in order to complete the task, grandpa had to pretend to turn a blind eye.
"Blow the trumpet, the 2nd Regiment advances, take advantage of the situation to pursue."
At the sound of the horn, the 2nd Regiment suddenly accelerated its speed, and the distance between it and the main formation in the rear gradually widened unknowingly.
On a high slope in the distance, Manzhu Xili had been staring nervously at the battlefield. When he saw this scene, he couldn't help but become ecstatic.
"Uba Tu, lead your headquarters to attack the enemy's main formation and hold it back no matter what. Naimanji, don't let the city, Situta, go out with me to fight and destroy this outstanding enemy force!"
The Mongols thought they had found a satisfactory prey and immediately completed the division of labor and cooperation. The whole army was mobilized and rushed forward.
Almost instantly, the 2nd Regiment felt that they were surrounded by Mongols on all sides.
