For the current New Ninth Regiment, there is simply no ability to completely paralyze this Japanese transportation line, so why are they still struggling with how to destroy it.

How did the Eighth Route Army guerrillas hinder the enemy's march? The constant harassment made the enemy tired of dealing with it and had to slow down their march. They can also think of ways to do this in this combat mission.

After Zhang Yunfei mentioned this, Zhao Wenzhou finally came to his senses. He had forgotten his roots a bit. The Eighth Route Army was an expert in causing trouble for the enemy. How could he forget all about this?

But this can't be entirely blamed on him. He used to be in the main force, and when fighting, he focused more on how to annihilate the enemy.

"Old Zhao, our mission this time is mainly to harass and destroy the enemy's transportation lines. I think the number of people should not be too large. Let's leave it this way. The four companies that have been sent out will still act as planned. Currently, the second company

and guard platoon strength are sufficient.”

Since it is just a harassment rather than a forceful attack, the number of people should not be too large, otherwise it will be difficult to hide.

"Political Commissar, this is what I have considered. I will lead the Second Company and the Guard Platoon to maneuver southward to the Xianghuai Highway, and choose the opportunity to harass and destroy the enemy's highway, while you will lead the regiment north to join the Third Company.

…”

"Old Zhang, you..." Good guy, the family is going to be separated. Why? I feel like I'm in the way.

"Political Commissar, please listen to what I have to say." Zhang Yunfei spoke first to stop his objections, and then said, "I think so. Whether this mission succeeds or fails, the Japanese will be angered, and they will definitely attack the area.

Carry out a sweep, and as you can see, the Japanese control of this area is still very tight. Once the blockade is strengthened, we may not have a chance to return in a short time. We may have to fight alone. If something like this happens

In this situation, if we don't keep people down, the other companies will lose contact with the regiment headquarters, and then they will really fight on their own. I am just taking precautions, and you can't put all your eggs in one basket."

Yang Zhiming's situation reminded Zhang Yunfei that because of the Japanese blockade, it was difficult for them to communicate with their superiors, and his New Ninth Regiment was scattered in all directions. Once it was cut off from contact and lost unified command and dispatch, it would really be like a mess.

They fight on their own, no different from ordinary guerrillas.

Therefore, the safety of the regiment headquarters is particularly important. Naturally, the command organization of the regiment headquarters must not take any risks during this operation.

"Lao Zhang, why don't you let me lead the team? You can stay and command the troops." Zhao Wenzhou was persuaded by him.

"Political commissar, it's my job to direct operations. Why do you want to compete with me? I'm not good at political propaganda work at home." Zhang Yunfei said funny.

"..."

This is the principle. The regimental commander is in charge of combat operations. Zhao Wenzhou really has no reason to refute.

Anyway, this time Lao Zhang had enough reasons to leave himself alone and act openly. What's even more outrageous is that he also sent the chief of staff out for the same reason as above. This is because he is determined to go it alone.

Zhang Yunfei didn't know about the political commissar's grievances. Zhang Yunfei asked Zhu Guolang and others to be responsible for the raids along the roads and railways in the eastward area of ​​Huaide, while Zhang Yunfei led the team to be responsible for the area to the west of the original area. A two-pronged approach might provide more opportunities.

Moreover, according to Yang Zhiming, he heard that there seemed to be an Eighth Route Army guerrilla force in the east.

Listen to this, the Eighth Route Army guerrillas are really blooming everywhere, and they are just legends in other people's mouths.

Zhang Yunfei became interested in this guerrilla group, and another purpose of sending Zhu Guolang there was to see if he could incorporate them into his command system.

Zhang Yunfei looked down upon Yang Zhiming's guerrillas, but was interested in the guerrillas he mentioned. That's because this guerrillas were a railway guerrillas.

Mine warfare, tunnel warfare, and railway guerrillas, this trilogy impressed Zhang Yunfei so deeply, but it is a pity that Zhang Yunfei, now serving in the Eighth Route Army, has not been able to practice such combat examples.

Needless to say, tunnel warfare is a method of fighting in plain areas. This is a mountainous area, and the ground is full of rocks. If you shovel a shovel into it, sparks will burst out. Digging tunnels will not work.

They are short of supplies here, and it is difficult to buy firecrackers, let alone landmines. And there are no experts in this field, so it is really not something ordinary people can play with. The things ordinary people make are large firecrackers, which can't explode.

Let’s not talk about the devils. First of all, we have to worry about not getting ourselves killed.

Moreover, they are a combat force, not a research institute. If they make a noise by conducting experiments every three days, they will not attract the Japanese.

Therefore, Zhang Yunfei had long given up on the idea of ​​tunnels and mines, but the railway guerrillas were different. They were all veterans of picking up trains, so they were all talented people.

As the base area of ​​the New Ninth Regiment expands, their area of ​​activity will also expand, and they will inevitably advance to the areas along the Japanese railway line. At that time, such talents will be of great use.

Maybe I can steal the job of the New Seventh Regiment operating along the northern railway line. Well, why should I think of the New Seventh Regiment? Qi Dajiu is not in charge of the New Seventh Regiment now.

Although the number of guerrillas is small, their levels are not too high. If they really come into contact with this guerrilla group, Wu Jingui and Qin Wenxiu will not be enough to watch.

Zhu Guolang is different. At least he can suppress the situation and can coordinate and direct both sides. As long as he is incorporated into his own system and becomes an established fact, it will be much easier to operate.

Of course, this is just Zhang Yunfei's feelings about the Flying Tigers. In fact, he doesn't have much thought about this unit.

The Flying Tigers can only play a huge role if they are active on the railway line. This is different from the way large units like the New Ninth Regiment fight.

The cooperation between the two sides is of a temporary nature under the current war situation. However, even if a temporary leader commands such a Flying Tigers, it can be regarded as a railway guerrilla addiction.

It is unrealistic to integrate such a unit into the New Ninth Regiment, but it will not be a problem to mobilize a few cadres. As for the soldiers, it will be easier. The local guerrillas have the obligation to transport soldiers to the army.

It is common for them to attack and destroy the enemy's transportation lines. Without heavy firepower, it is not easy for them to stop the enemy's train. At a certain time, they may play a very huge role.

This is why Zhang Yunfei pays special attention to this guerrilla group this time, and they are very familiar with the Japanese transportation lines, the frequency and time of the Japanese trains, etc. These are all important information.

You must know that now I know nothing about the situation of the Japs and can only act according to the situation. It is naturally an unexpected surprise to have such a guerrilla group active on the Japs transportation line.

However, Zhang Yunfei couldn't place all his hopes on the other party. He just asked Zhu Merchant to go find and contact him, which was just an extra step of preparation.
