Chapter 1176 The unbearable Peiping guerrilla brigade
The more the chief of staff analyzed, the deeper his frown deepened. Finally, he let out a long sigh and replied helplessly: "Chief..."
"I feel like this is an unsolvable problem..."
"We are recovering our strength, and the enemy is also recovering our strength, faster than us..."
"If you want to seize the great situation at hand and capture the Tianjin Pier, the best way is to launch an attack now."
"But the Sixth Army Division of Yizhong has just experienced three fierce battles. The troops suffered heavy casualties. They can't even spare the troops to raid the Tianjin dock, let alone other..."
The deputy commander replied seriously: "For the current Sixth Division, it is indeed very difficult to attack Tianjin Pier, but this matter cannot wait. It is indeed an unsolvable problem."
The chief of staff hesitated and reminded: "Chief..."
"How about we send a telegram to Kong Jie and the others to remind them."
"If the Sixth Army Division of Yizhong has the strength to raid Tianjin Pier, then attack..."
"If they don't have the conditions to raid the Tianjin dock now, we can find ways to help them create conditions."
"The Eighth Route Army in the world is all one family. We can mobilize troops from other base areas to reinforce the Sixth Army Division of Yi Zhong, and they will be under unified command to raid Tianjin Wharf."
The deputy commander shook his head and replied: "This telegram must be sent, but not now."
"The Sixth Army Division of Yizhong has just finished three fierce battles. Both the participating troops below, as well as Kong Jie and Li Yunlong, must be very tired."
"And as division commanders and deputy commanders, they won't be fine after the war is over."
"It's settled that they defeated the Japs, and they will be busy with things in the next day or two. There will definitely be no time to think about how the troops will raid the Tianjin dock."
"Wait until they have finished their work and have time before sending this telegram."
The chief of staff nodded, and just as he was about to end the topic, the hurried figure of the radio operator appeared in front of the two of them again.
Holding a newly translated telegram in his hand, he was very anxious: "Chief..."
"Urgent call from the Sixth Division of Wing Center..."
"It's an urgent and encrypted telegram..."
The chief of staff's face suddenly became extremely serious.
Under normal circumstances, even the victory telegram just now would not be sent by the Sixth Army Division in an expedited or encrypted manner.
The telegram in front of them was sent in an urgent and encrypted manner, indicating that the contents of the telegram were more important than their victory in Baoding and Xiongxian, and must be kept confidential.
He quickly took the telegram and read it quickly.
The serious expression on his face was first replaced by shock, and then turned into surprise. Finally, he handed the telegram to the deputy commander-in-chief and reported with a smile on his face: "Chief..."
"Not only did we think of starting the raid on the Tianjin code as soon as possible, but Kong Jie and the others also thought of it."
"Comrade Huang Yu, deputy chief of staff of the Sixth Army Division, proposed that within five days at the latest, they would send an attack force with the independent brigade as the main force to raid the Tianjin dock, and ask the headquarters to mobilize the Eighth Route Army troops near the battlefield to cooperate."
"At the same time, the common people in the base areas around Pingjin were mobilized to collect large vehicles and mules and horses, and lurked on the edge of the base area, ready to transfer the weapons, equipment and ammunition supplies they seized at the Tianjin dock."
"We are also asked to contact the aviation regiment to cooperate unconditionally with their raid."
"The newspaper said that they not only wanted to raid the Tianjin pier, but also wanted to take down the Peking Airport as well."
"Beiping Airport is home to most of the fighter planes equipped by the North China Front. If it can really be captured by the Sixth Army Division of the Wing, there will be no problem in expanding the aviation regiment into an aviation division immediately."
The deputy commander-in-chief did not answer the call, but immediately took the telegram and read it.
They hoped from the bottom of their hearts that the Sixth Army Division of Yizhong would raid Tianjin Wharf as soon as possible.
But I was particularly worried that the Yizhong Independent Brigade and the Independent Brigade had suffered heavy casualties in three consecutive fierce battles and could no longer spare the troops to raid the Tianjin Pier.
If they themselves have the idea of raiding Tianjin Pier immediately, it means that the problem of insufficient troops in the Sixth Army Division of the Wing has been solved by themselves.
As soon as he saw it halfway, the deputy commander smiled, nodded and sighed: "If Comrade Huang Yu hadn't reminded me, I would have almost forgotten about the Peking guerrilla brigade that they had deployed near Peiping in advance."
"That's a reinforced regiment with well-equipped equipment and ample ammunition."
"If you make good use of this extraordinary force, their role on the battlefield will be no less than that of a main brigade."
"This is a very good idea..."
"The entire raid was carried out in three steps, one after another, to ensure that the participating troops captured the Tianjin Pier and Peking Airport at the minimum cost, while leaving enough time for the participating troops to transfer the spoils."
Having said this, the smile on the deputy commander's face became even wider: "I originally thought they didn't have the troops to raid Tianjin Wharf."
"Now the biggest problem of insufficient troops has been solved, and other problems are minor and not worth mentioning."
"Call Kong Jie and the others immediately: the headquarters fully supports their idea."
"If you need any cooperation from the headquarters, just ask us. We will definitely support you. Even if there are no conditions, we will create Tianjian to support you."
"The Japanese and puppet troops outside Pingjin don't have to worry about them..."
"After the raid on the Tianjin dock begins, I will ask the main forces in the surrounding base areas to launch attacks on the local Japanese and puppet troops at the same time to ensure that they cannot mobilize a single soldier to support Tianjin."
"He doesn't have to worry about transporting the loot."
"As long as Kong Jie and the others use cars to deliver the loot to the edge of the base area, with the mobilization capabilities of our Eighth Route Army, even if there are two more loot from Tianjin docks, we can transport them away as easily as ants moving."
…………
Peking Guerrilla Brigade Headquarters.
Since the Yizhong base took the initiative to raid Shijiazhuang and Henan, they have not contacted the headquarters for a long time.
Since the formation of the special regiment in the division, Huang Yu no longer served as the captain of the guerrilla brigade. Zhang Xuan, the original chief of staff, was appointed as the captain. The division also transferred new political commissars and chiefs of staff to the guerrilla brigade.
In addition to following up the Japanese and puppet troops in the mountains to fight guerrillas, I spent the rest of my time hiding in the mountains to train and develop the troops.
Compared with when the guerrilla brigade was formed, the current guerrilla brigade can definitely be called the main force among the main forces. If the headquarters allows it, it will be no problem to directly expand it into a guerrilla detachment.
As the troops became stronger, the battalion and company commanders below became more and more restless. They often went to the brigade headquarters to ask for battle, hoping to send troops to attack the Japs and smash the Japanese and puppet troops' defense lines blocking them.
"Captain... I went to the camp of the first battalion today, and their battalion commander and instructors were all chasing me to ask for a fight, wanting to go out and kill the Japanese..." Political Commissar Li Wen began to complain when he saw Zhang Xuan.
"I think it's time to let these guys go out and practice."
"Actual combat is the best training ground. We have been training in the mountains for so long. How strong the combat effectiveness of the army is will only be known after fighting."
