Chapter 1175 Chief: The devils recover blood faster
Seeing that Kong Jie was persuaded but had not yet made up his mind, Huang Yu decided to add fuel to the fire.
"Changes will happen later..."
"Commander...if we don't seize this good opportunity, Okamura Neji is likely to receive domestic reinforcements."
"If the North China Front receives tens of thousands of additional troops and establishes one or two security brigades in the Ping-Tianjin area, we will of course be able to eliminate the benefits brought by the Japanese and puppet troops' southward reinforcements, and the opportunity to raid the Tianjin dock will also disappear."
"After this analysis, there are only advantages and no disadvantages to the raid on Tianjin Pier."
"Although the troops will be very tired and may even pay some price during the battle, it will all be worth it."
"If we wait for the North China Front to receive reinforcements and then attack the Tianjin dock after we have completed our reinforcements, not only will we risk losing our fighter planes, but the troops will also pay an unprecedented price in the battle."
"In addition, it is impossible for our Eighth Route Army to be the only one involved in such a big battle as the raid on the Tianjin dock."
"The headquarters will definitely deploy other troops to cooperate with our operations."
"Even if we don't directly participate in the war, containing some surrounding garrison troops can relieve us a lot of pressure."
"In addition, the Japanese army has countless weapons, equipment and ammunition supplies stored at the Tianjin dock. The Eighth Route Army's transportation strength alone will definitely not be able to move them there. This also requires help from the headquarters."
"And there's Beiping Airport..."
"Most of the aircraft equipped by the North China Front are parked there: after more than half a year of training, our aviation regiment already has more than 60 qualified pilots, but there are no aircraft, so most of the pilots can only sit idle."
"If the Peiping Airport can be taken down, the aviation group's problem of lack of planes can be solved."
"The troops don't have to worry about bombing by Japanese planes on their way to transport the loot. They kill two birds with one stone."
"No……"
"It should be like killing three birds with one stone..."
"The Japanese army does not have aircraft to attack us from the air, so our aviation regiment can dominate the battlefield. Even if it is unable to carry out air strikes against the Japanese and puppet ground forces, conduct aerial reconnaissance, and provide us with the specific movements of the Japanese and puppet troops, our eyes will definitely not be able to
question."
…………
Kong Jie is a very rational person and rarely takes risks in fighting.
But at this moment, he was frightened by the series of benefits listed by Huang Yu. To be precise, he was moved.
More than a hundred aircraft of various types, countless weapons, equipment, and ammunition supplies, and the suddenness of the attack on Tianjin Pier... were like gold ingots being thrown at me one after another. It was difficult not to be moved.
He slammed his clenched fists on the table in front of him and commanded through gritted teeth: "Don't come back again if you don't miss this opportunity..."
"Ningji Okamura has given us the opportunity. We must seize it no matter what...I agree to fight this battle..."
After saying that, he asked the guard to spread out the map. Kong Jie then walked to the map, stared at Pingjin on the map and asked seriously: "How do you plan to fight?"
"In three steps..." Huang Yu pointed to the Fangshan County Road on the map.
"The first step is for the Peiping guerrilla brigade to take the initiative to take Fangshan. Then the troops are divided into three. One part of the troops is approaching Peking City, and the other two parts are forming an outflanking posture to eliminate the Japanese and puppet troops around Peiping."
"You have to be fast. Kill more Japanese and puppet troops before Okamura Neji reacts. This will further weaken the strength of the Japanese and puppet troops in the Ping-Tin area and attract all the attention of the Japanese and puppet troops in the Ping-Tin area."
"The second step is for the special regiment's assault company to lead two quick reaction battalions and three light infantry regiments, with only mortars and a small number of mountain artillery. They use companies and platoons as units to bypass the Japanese and puppet strongholds along the way and quietly touch them.
On standby near Beiping Airport and Tianjin Pier."
"The third step is a full-scale attack."
"The chariot troops, heavy artillery troops, as well as the remaining infantry and cavalry of the attacking troops, attacked along the road and headed straight for Pingjin."
"Use all the vehicles that can be mobilized in the base area to ensure that the troops advance thirty kilometers per hour, strive to reach Pingjin in more than ten hours, and establish a defense line centered on Tianjin Pier to face the reinforcements sent by Okamura Neji."
"The troops who lurked at Tianjin Pier and Peking Airport in advance launched attacks at the same time, captured the target as quickly as possible, and established temporary defense lines around them, waiting for the arrival of artillery and tank troops."
"The next step is to transport the loot, transfer planes, and eliminate all planes that want to take back Tianjin Pier and Peking Airport."
"As for the little devils who are further away from the Pingjin area..."
"Our troops are limited and can only be controlled by the Eighth Route Army General Headquarters."
"At the same time, let them organize a transportation team to be on standby near Pingjin..."
"We are responsible for transporting the loot out of Pingjin, handing it over to them and then returning to the Tianjin dock to transfer other loot."
"As for transporting it back to their respective bases, we can only hand it over to the headquarters and mobilize the people to transport it back bit by bit through ant moving."
…………
The former enemy headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.
The deputy commander-in-chief was very happy.
The Sixth Army Division of Yizhong not only won consecutive battles and captured Xiongxian County and Baoding, but also luckily eliminated the Japanese and puppet troops' southward reinforcements in Xiongxian County, killing more than 10,000 Japanese and puppet troops, and directly wiped them out.
Troops raided all obstacles at the Tianjin dock.
For this reason, the logistics department was specially asked to buy a fat pig, and all the staff at the headquarters would have a meal to celebrate this victory.
"Chief... after this battle, the next step is to raid the Tianjin dock..." The chief of staff looked at the deputy commander and expressed his thoughts.
"Considering that Kong Jie and the others also suffered heavy casualties in the battle...it will take at least two to three months for the troops to be replenished...I think it will be just right to raid the Tianjin dock in three months!"
The deputy commander considered the problem more comprehensively, so after hearing the chief of staff's analysis, he did not answer immediately. Instead, he shook his head and replied: "You can't just consider Kong Jie and the others, and not the Japanese North China Front..."
"While Kong Jie and the others are recovering their strength, Okamura Neiji will definitely find a way to replenish the blood of the North China Front so that they can regain their combat effectiveness."
"It is very likely that at the same time that the Sixth Army Division of Yizhong regained its combat effectiveness, the number of Japanese and puppet troops stationed in Pingjin returned to the previous 30,000."
"Then the good situation that Kong Jie and the others have worked so hard to create will be gone..."
The chief of staff suddenly frowned: "It's really..."
"The whole of Japan stands behind the North China Front. If the country at home does its best to replenish their blood, the Peking and Tianjin garrison can be restored to 30,000 in just over a month, not to mention three months."
"Kong Jie and others can only rely on themselves to retrain the troops and restore their combat effectiveness... If the base area does not have enough recruits who have completed the recruit training to directly replenish the troops, and recruit new recruits among the common people to replenish the troops, three months will be considered quick to restore combat effectiveness.
It won't take a month to regain strength, after all, it takes time to recruit new soldiers."
