Chapter 1299 Duan Peng: You can also eat meat through sneak attacks
Starting from the next day, the headquarters of the Northbound Detachment became lively.
Troops scattered in various places also began to gather at the headquarters to distribute ammunition and make dry food...
"Report to Commander, Deputy Chief of Staff... The Kwantung Army's southward reinforcements have already set off..." A combat staff officer took the intelligence just sent by the correspondent and reported it seriously.
"The security along the railway line is very tight. There are patrols of the Kwantung Army and the Puppet Manchuria Army everywhere, and there are also a large number of armored trains patrolling along the railway line..."
"Our people don't even have a chance to get close to the railway line..."
"How long will it take in total..." Huang Yu asked directly without any intention of leaving the map.
The staff officer quickly looked through the telegram in his hand and replied: "The Kwantung Army has mobilized a total of fifteen military columns..."
"Based on a military train transporting 1,500 to 2,000 people and their supporting equipment... one dispatch can transport an entire main division..."
"Transportation is non-stop day and night, and everything can be shipped in about six days..."
Huang Yu frowned and then analyzed: "The Kwantung Army's reinforcements have been going south for so long, and finally they can enter North China to participate in the war. They will definitely not pay attention for too long."
"I estimate that after their equipment and ammunition are in place, they will take another four or five days to take action..."
"So their large-scale raids on the Yi Zhong base should begin within half a month..."
Li Yunlong directly replied with an expectant expression: "Okay..."
"Contact Kong Jie last night..."
"This guy has already trained more than 23,000 main troops and more than 8,000 local troops in the base area..."
"The former enemy headquarters of the Eighth Route Army also deployed 20,000 elites from other bases to launch attacks from behind the Kwantung Army, cooperating with Kong Erlunzi's counter-mopping up..."
"I guess this battle may not be finished in half a month..."
"Even if the battle is over, the Kwantung Army's reinforcements going south will suffer heavy casualties and will be dragged on the battlefield in North China, unable to return to the Northeast in a short time..."
"Xiao Huang..."
"The offensive forces are ready..."
"I suggest that we start taking action in half a month..."
Huang Yu directly ordered to the command department: "Inform Wei Dayong, the chief of staff of the first regiment, and Duan Peng, the commander of the first regiment and battalion... come to the headquarters to report immediately..."
…………
About twenty kilograms deep in the mountains and old forests northeast of Jinzhou, Wei Dayong was complaining to Duan Peng about his dissatisfaction.
"Duan Peng...the leader is so unfair..."
"When they fight, they always let their own people eat meat... How come when we come to our regiment leader's place, it is always others who eat the meat, and our own people eat the soup..."
Duan Peng didn't see it that way. He shook his head and asked: "Chief of Staff..."
"Commander's place is indeed a frontal battlefield...if we fight well, we can kill thousands of enemies..."
"But we're not bad here either..."
"Although the mission given to us by the headquarters is to sneak attack the railway line, attract the attention of the Kwantung Army, and cover the main force of the detachment to establish bases in Chaoyang and Fuxin..."
"But the headquarters did not say that we cannot fight a big war, nor did it stipulate that we must attack the railway line in a small way...it only said that we should use the minimum cost to attract the attention of the Kwantung Army..."
"I think this battle has been fought well...the result is no less than the main force of the detachment commanded by the commander..."
"After all, there are Kwantung Army elites everywhere around us... We can take any few strongholds and wipe out more Kwantung Army than the commander killed in the base area..."
Wei Dayong's frown immediately relaxed, and he said with a happy face: "Haha... you are still thinking fast... why didn't I think of that..."
"No wonder the leader asked me to listen to your opinion in everything I do..."
"Hurry up and tell me..."
"How can we sneak attack on the railway line to eat meat..."
Duan Peng answered with a smile: "Our heavy weapons are only mortars, not mountain artillery or field artillery..."
"A head-on confrontation with the strongholds stationed by the Kwantung Army is like an egg against a rock..."
Wei Dayong showed a frustrated expression before he finished listening: "Isn't that still a small fight?"
"The main force of the Kwantung Army is basically hiding in the strongholds and county towns... The puppet Manchurian Army is mainly active outside... If you don't attack the strongholds, how can you eat meat?"
Duan Peng hurriedly said: "What's the hurry..."
"A large stronghold doesn't mean we can't eat meat..."
"Think about how we fought against the Japanese when we were in the pass and the troops did not have heavy weapons to attack the enemy..."
"I remember that at that time, even if we didn't attack strongholds, we could still severely injure the little Japs on the battlefield and seize a lot of loot..."
"The Kwantung Army here is not familiar with our tactics and tactics..."
"It will definitely work if we copy the previous method..."
Wei Dayong finally understood, his eyes lit up and he answered: "Let the snake out of the hole first... then surround it and call for reinforcements..."
"I know how to fight..."
"With the troops and firepower we have in hand, as long as the opponent does not exceed half an infantry brigade...the troops can use an ambush to wipe out the Kwantung Army's attacking troops."
"Even if the Kwantung Army dispatches more than a full infantry brigade... we can first use guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare to fight them, make them fatter and thinner, and then gather them together and annihilate them through ambush warfare..."
"Just do it..."
…………
After all the Kwantung Army's southward reinforcements entered North China, the railway lines that had been bustling for several days finally became quiet.
The nerves of the Kwantung Army along the railway line, which had been tense for several days, relaxed at this moment.
Everyone was glad that the Eighth Route Army did not come to cause trouble during this period.
If they destroy the railway again during the Kwantung Army's march south, or blow up one or two expansion trains, every Kwantung Army along the railway will be in trouble.
A stronghold thirty kilometers north of Jinzhou City along the railway suddenly opened its door.
Two combat units of the Kwantung Army and one platoon of the Puppet Manchuria Army formed a mixed team and patrolled along the railway line as usual...
The railway line they are responsible for is five kilometers long, and the round trip takes about two hours...
Everyone was very relaxed when we first left the base.
This is the attack range of the stronghold's heavy machine guns and mortars. No matter how stupid the enemy is, they will not dare to go wild here.
When they reach the railway line, the heavy machine guns and mortars in the stronghold are unable to provide them with fire support, so the patrol team will naturally strengthen their vigilance.
It's a pity that today they encountered a northward detachment of the Eighth Route Army who never followed common sense.
In a bush about 300 meters away from the stronghold, more than a dozen machine gunners lay quietly on the ground, covered with withered yellow thatch. From a distance, it looked like a thatch pile.
Several black gun barrels protruded from the thatch to stop the Japanese and puppet troops who were about to start patrols...
When the patrol team had completely walked out of the stronghold and was less than fifty meters away from the ambush, the familiar sound of machine gun fire suddenly sounded in the bushes.
