"Neji Okamura is so scheming..." Huang Yu was the first to react, with a sullen face and gritted his teeth as he cursed.
"Commander..."
"The little devil is specifically targeting our weak spots!"
"The Eighth Route Army is an army of ordinary people. The ordinary people are the root of our Eighth Route Army. We will definitely protect the safety of the ordinary people at all costs."
"If we want to stop the Japanese army's massacre against our base area, we must mobilize heavy troops to encircle and suppress their attacking troops."
"But the troops left behind in the base area are limited and cannot do this at all. We can only bring back the independent brigade that attacked Shijiazhuang."
"Otherwise, the attack troops sent by Neji Okamura will definitely turn our base area upside down and massacre tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of civilians..."
Kong Jie analyzed with a stern face: "What if we concentrate our superior forces and kill a few of the Japs first, and then deal with the remaining Japanese troops?"
"Just like what the fifth regiment is doing on the front line, use the reinforced battalion as a unit and attack four of them to mop up the troops first..."
"It's difficult..." Huang Yu replied with a frown.
"Since Okamura Neji dares to fight like this, he must have thought of the possible ways we can break the situation in advance."
"For example, further dividing the troops..."
"For example, if you move under the cover of night, you can use a move to attack us from the east to the west, or from the east to the east, or even make the golden cicada escape from its shell..."
"Although this is our base area, no matter how cunning the Japanese army is, they cannot hide from the eyes of local troops and guerrillas."
"But the way we deliver messages is basically riding horses and walking."
"Even if the main force active nearby receives the news and kills them as soon as possible, the Japs will have disappeared long ago. If the pursuing force only has one battalion, it is almost impossible to block them and eliminate them."
"Unless we gather seven, eight, or even ten times our troops and encircle them from all sides, we can still block them and annihilate them all."
"But the existence of pursuing soldiers is not useless at all."
"As long as the pursuers stay behind the Japs, they will have no chance to attack our village unscrupulously. They can only fight and flee, constantly moving, thereby reducing the losses in the base area and the casualties of the people."
Kong Jie's face became uglier as he listened, and he frowned and replied, "Is it possible that there is no other way to break the situation except to transfer Li Yunlong back to the base?"
Huang Yu did not answer immediately. He stared at the map and considered for a while before replying: "The purpose of Okamura Neji's doing this is nothing more than to force us to mobilize the independent brigade back to the reinforcement base by massacring the people!"
"As long as we find ways to prevent the Japanese army from massacring ordinary people, the pressure on the base area will be less."
"As for the villages that were set on fire by the Japanese..."
"As long as people are alive, no matter how many villages they burn, we can still rebuild them..."
Kong Jie frowned and asked: "The purpose of the Japanese army's division of troops in the base area is to kill people... How can we stop..."
Huang Yu did not answer the call, but picked up the telegram just sent by the operator and read it again. Then his eyes became brighter and brighter, and he pointed at a sentence in the telegram and said excitedly.
"There is a way..."
"Commander..."
"The telegram sent to us from the front line said... In order not to be blocked by us, the Japanese massacred a few more villages in the base area, barely fought with us, and retreated when they saw the Eighth Route Army..."
"Then they won't be able to determine whether the pursuers are real or not..."
"In order to confuse us, Okamura Neji created several fake attack troops..."
"We can also retaliate in kind by sending more fake pursuit troops to hunt down the Japanese troops from all directions, so that they can only focus on escaping and moving in the base area, and have no time to massacre the common people."
"The real main force gathered together, massing superior troops and firepower to defeat them one by one..."
"This can not only reduce the losses in the base area, but also eliminate all the little Japanese who enter the base area. There is no need for an independent brigade to return to the base area to support the base area."
Kong Jie shook his head: "The method is a good one, but the risk is too high."
"If any kid loses his head and suddenly turns around to fight our pursuing troops, not only will it be impossible to kill them, but it may also put the pursuing troops in danger."
"Once the Japanese army realizes that most of the pursuit troops we sent are fake, in the end not only will they not be able to reduce the losses in the base area and civilian casualties, but they will also send the local troops and guerrillas pretending to be pursuit troops into the little devil's mouth, and finally lose the money.
Madam, she lost her troops again."
"The most critical problem is: the time has been delayed, and the base area still does not have enough troops to encircle and suppress them and eliminate them."
"Immediately send a telegram to Li Yunlong: Immediately dispatch two main regiments to carry mortars and heavy machine guns and march back to the base area. The other troops will continue to stay in Shijiazhuang to cover the siege troops for street fighting."
"According to Li Yunlong's report: The six main regiments supported by the headquarters can completely capture Shijiazhuang. We only need to provide some artillery support and tank support."
"One main regiment was left to protect the tank troops and artillery units, and the remaining two main regiments immediately returned to the base area to create a bigger momentum, which made Okamura Neji mistakenly believe that the main force of the independent brigade had returned to the base area, allowing the Shijiazhuang garrison to relax their vigilance. We
The siege troops staying in Shijiazhuang will take the opportunity to launch a general attack, and maybe they can take Shijiazhuang in one battle."
"The independent brigade was ordered to return to the base area to support us, which will also make the little devils who are active in our base area to cause sabotage relax their vigilance and dare not confront us head-on. They are afraid that if they stop for a moment in the battle, they will be surrounded by heavy troops of the Eighth Route Army, and then besieged by our heavy troops.
, the whole army was destroyed."
"Our local troops and guerrillas pretending to be pursuit troops are even less likely to be exposed."
Kong Jie's arrangement is definitely more appropriate.
It will not affect the troops' attack on Shijiazhuang, but it will also confuse Neji Okamura and reduce the losses in the base area.
But Huang Yu always felt that it was too wasteful for the Independent Brigade to send two main regiments back to the base area.
As long as the Japanese and puppet troops operating in the base area could not detect the reality of the pursuers, and relying solely on the strength of the troops left behind in the base area, he was 90% sure of annihilating them, but it would just take a little longer.
The independent brigade sent two main regiments back to the base area to support them. Minus the time spent on the road, even if they returned to the base area successfully, they would not be able to help much.
Then he turned his attention to Baoding City on the map.
Excluding the reinforcements sent by Okamura Neiji, there were only more than 6,000 Japanese puppet troops left in the city.
Baoding's city defenses were already very strong. After the Japanese and puppet troops' continuous emergency repairs, the current city defenses are definitely even stronger.
If the Yizhong Independent Regiment wants to attack Baoding again, the Japanese and puppet troops will definitely concentrate their main forces on the city defense fortifications.
Placing a thousand people in one direction may not be enough.
Excluding the city defense troops, Baoding City has at most more than 2,000 mobile troops left.
If the Eighth Route Army consumes more troops, when they attack Baoding in the future, the siege troops will only need to concentrate their superior forces to open a breakthrough to advance into Baoding.
Thinking of this, another bold idea came to Huang Yu's mind.
