Chapter 273 Li Yunlong: Brigade Commander, are you going to fight a big battle?
Kong Jie reacted quickly and continued what the brigade commander said: "Let this old devil Yoshio Shinozuka realize that no matter how hard a group of sheep are trained, they can never turn into a group of wolves!"
"Instead of wasting a lot of manpower and material resources on these sheep, it is better to gather the Japanese officers in the puppet army and form an independent mobile force. The effect may be much greater than training the puppet army!"
"Yoshio Shinozuka sees no benefits from this, but sees a lot of disadvantages. Naturally, he will not promote this training method on a large scale!"
"Brigadier, how do you want to fight?"
"When Li Yunlong and Ding Wei arrive, let's discuss how to fight this battle together!" the brigade commander ordered with approval.
"Not only will we help you open up the situation in northwestern Shanxi and gain a foothold, but we will also severely damage the puppet army trained by the little devils, strive to capture one or two thousand prisoners, and let the Japanese army in northwestern Shanxi use their own people to train and command the puppet army.
Become a laughing stock!”
"Let Huang Yu also come to the regiment headquarters... This guy has a lot of tricks up his sleeve. He must participate in the next combat meeting!
Dragon Li Yunlong and Ding Wei quickly rushed to Baipogou!
After not seeing each other for more than a month, the two old comrades seemed to be living a happy life. From the moment they entered the war room, they had heartfelt smiles on their faces.
Although the enemy situation in northwest Shanxi is very complicated, Li Yunlong and Ding Wei are not vegetarians...
Thanks to their efforts, both groups have made considerable progress.
Although they have not yet returned to their peak combat effectiveness, as long as they are given time, it will happen sooner or later.
"Okay, don't talk nonsense with me here... You are all in northwestern Shanxi. After the war is over, there will be plenty of time for you to communicate!" The brigade commander suddenly interrupted.
The bustling war room fell silent for an instant, and Kong Jie continued the brigade commander's words and stated the theme of the meeting.
"Brigadier, are we going to fight a big battle?" Li Yunlong became interested as soon as he heard the word "big battle" and stared at the brigade commander, waiting for him to say something.
"If you want to severely damage the puppet troops in northwest Shanxi, let Yoshio Shinozuka give up the idea of using Japanese to train the puppet troops. It seems that only a big battle can achieve these two things!" the brigade commander replied.
Li Yunlong immediately answered: "After this period of development, the total strength of the New Second Regiment has exceeded 800 people. It is well-equipped and has sufficient ammunition. As soon as the brigade commander gives the order, I will immediately ask the political commissar to pull all the troops over!"
"Don't worry yet!" the brigade commander raised his hand to comfort!
"Before launching the troops, let's discuss the charter first..."
"Three cobblers are worth one Zhuge Liang... You three are more familiar with the enemy situation in northwestern Shanxi than I am, and you must have more say... If you have any ideas, please feel free to mention them!"
"Severely inflicting heavy damage on the puppet troops in northwestern Shanxi is a task given to you by the division commander. You must complete it no matter what the cost!"
"How about we stick to the old method: surround the spot and call for reinforcements?" Li Yunlong suggested?
"Not only can we eliminate reinforcements, but we can also capture a county town in a critical battle, allowing the Japanese and puppet troops in northwest Shanxi to see our offensive strength!"
"I agree!" Kong Jie immediately showed an expression of agreement!
"Encircling a point for reinforcements can firmly hold the initiative on the battlefield in our own hands. Whether it is an ambush or a fortified battle, we can pre-emptively kill the Japanese officers hiding in the puppet army, and then clean up the remaining puppet troops and force them to
Surrender them!"
"The more puppet troops we capture in battle, the more vulnerable they are. No matter who trains them, they can't change their destiny as a bunch of sheep!"
Ding Wei answered: "We are new here and have not fought a big battle with the Japanese and puppet troops in northwest Shanxi!"
"Suddenly take action and fight a big battle with them by encircling the points and calling for reinforcements. You will definitely be able to catch them off guard!"
"I also agree with Lao Li's proposal!"
The brigade commander also showed an expression of approval.
The three regiment leaders are all veteran revolutionaries with very rich combat command experience. If they say there is no problem, then there must be no problem!
Just when he was about to nod, his peripheral vision suddenly glanced at Huang Yu, who was silent at the side.
His brows were furrowed deeper and deeper, and he looked like he was hesitant to speak.
He quickly asked: "Xiao Huang, you seem to have a different opinion?"
"I have a few questions!" Huang Yu directly expressed his worries!
"We have been in northwest Shanxi for so long and have fought many battles with the Japanese and puppet troops here. Let me tell you from my heart: the puppet troops trained by the Japanese are indeed as powerful as the puppet troops we encountered before!"
"Especially when there are Japanese officers supervising the battle, the combat effectiveness of the puppet army is not much worse than ours!"
"If our encirclement and reinforcements are carried out at night, no matter how we seize the initiative on the battlefield, we will not be able to preemptively kill the Japanese officers in the puppet army in advance and knock off the golden hoop that the Japanese have put on the puppet army!"
"After the decisive battle begins, the puppet army will definitely explode with strong combat effectiveness under the supervision of the Japanese officers and fight us to the end..."
"Even if our three regiments win, the troops will pay a huge price!"
"Maybe our small family fortune will be wiped out in one battle!"
Ding Wei suddenly interjected: "Xiao Huang is right, I didn't think it through just now!"
"The combat effectiveness of the puppet troops in northwestern Shanxi is indeed better than that of the puppet troops in other places!"
"Our new regiment also suffered a heavy loss at their hands, losing dozens of veterans..."
"If the guards hadn't joined the battle in time with more than a dozen submachine guns and used fierce firepower to suppress the puppet troops, the losses in that battle would have been doubled!"
"Later I learned that the puppet troops in northwestern Shanxi were trained and commanded by the Japanese!"
"The Japanese are still punishing the puppet troops with consecutive sittings..."
"If a puppet army surrenders on the battlefield, the entire squad will be punished... If a squad of soldiers has a problem, the entire platoon will be punished..."
"Under such bloody suppression, even if there are puppet troops who want to surrender, they will not dare and can only fight to the death with us!"
"The new regiment has eliminated no less than 300 puppet troops during this period. If it had been before, it would have captured at least 200 people!"
"But in northwestern Shanxi, we only captured more than 30 people, and all other puppet troops were killed by us!"
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have suspected that what the troops killed was a group of puppet troops pretending to be Japanese soldiers, not the real puppet troops!"
"Although we are very good at fighting at night, if the puppet troops in the ambush circle work as hard as the Japanese, they will still cause us heavy casualties even if they all die together!"
Seeing that Li Yunlong seemed to want to interrupt him, Ding Wei continued: "Old Li, this is what I saw with my own eyes. You really don't believe it!"
"When I was fighting with these puppet soldiers, I saw with my own eyes several puppet soldiers holding grenades and dying together with our soldiers!"
"I only found out after asking the prisoner..."
"The Japs know all about his family. If he doesn't fight hard on the battlefield and is captured by us, his family will be implicated!"
"The dozens of puppet soldiers captured were all killed by the Japanese army. No one knew they were our prisoners, so they dared to surrender!"
"What if when we encircle the point for reinforcements, the puppet troops participating in the ambush are just like the new group encountered before, and would rather die with us with grenades than surrender, our losses will definitely be very heavy!"
"Then we'll fight during the day!" Li Yunlong said unwillingly.
"You can't tell the difference between Japanese officers in the puppet army at night, but you can see them clearly during the day!"
"Let us first use guerrilla warfare to sneak attack on them, select the Japanese officers in the puppet army to shoot coldly, knock off the golden hoops worn by the Japanese on the puppet soldiers' heads, and then ambush them!"
"Without Japanese supervision, the fighting will of ordinary puppet troops would definitely not be that strong!"
"If the troops concentrate their firepower to kill the Japanese troops in the reinforcements, they may be able to force the remaining puppet troops to surrender.
Li Yunlong's mind turned very fast, and in the blink of an eye he thought of Huang Yu's method of dealing with the puppet army.
But Huang Yu still disagrees with such a beating!
Just when he was about to object, Kong Jie took the lead and said: "Old Li, although you can clearly see the Japs officers in the puppet army during the day, the Japs can also call for air support!"
"If they call in planes to attack us, the losses of the participating troops will not be as small as fighting at night!"
"Then speed up the pace of the battle... As soon as the ambush begins, fight with the Japanese and puppet reinforcements and end the battle with bayonets..." Li Yunlong tit-for-tat put forward his new ideas.
"No matter how powerful the Japanese planes are, they can't even bomb them with their own people!"
"It's really possible!" Huang Yu stood up and retorted.
"Captain Li, Commander Ding..."
"The number of puppet troops in the northwestern part of Shanxi is twice as large as that of the Japanese... We should be about the same number of enemies when we encircle and attack with reinforcements..."
"If the lives of more than a thousand puppet soldiers can be exchanged for more than a thousand Eighth Route Army soldiers, as long as the Japanese commander is not stupid, he will order the planes to carry out indiscriminate bombing of the troops on the ground!"
Li Yunlong was speechless.
Several times he wanted to open his mouth to retort, but when the words reached his lips, he swallowed them back.
Finally he waved his hand and complained in annoyance: "What should I do?"
"You can't fight during the day, you can't fight at night... I'm afraid of this, and I'm afraid of that. How can we complete the task with our hands tied?"
The brigade commander's relaxed brows frowned again. He stared at Huang Yu and asked: "Xiao Huang, listening to your analysis just now...it seems that you don't agree with us surrounding the point to support and fight a big war!"
Huang Yu replied: "Report to the brigade commander, I agree to encircle the point and provide reinforcements, but I do not agree to fight a big battle!"
"The task given to us by the division chief is to severely damage the puppet troops in northwestern Shanxi... It does not necessarily require a big battle to severely damage them!"
"We have three regiments. Each regiment can kill 500 puppet troops, which adds up to 1,500 people..."
"If one regiment kills one regiment of puppet troops, the total will exceed 3,000 puppet troops!"
"The larger the scale of the battle, the harder it is to eliminate the Japanese officers in the puppet army in advance. The greater the variables of the puppet army in the battle, and the harder it is for us to eliminate them!"
"If a company of puppet troops is wiped out in a battle, there are only four Japanese officers and a dozen hardcore traitors in it. It is easy to eliminate them in advance with cold guns and cold fire. This gang of puppet troops will become a group of puppet troops with their fangs pulled out.
Tigers no longer pose any threat and can be slaughtered by us..."
"Small-scale encirclement and reinforcements will not attract the attention of the Japanese and puppet troops, let alone attract aircraft support!"
"By the time the Japanese react, we will have finished the battle. The accumulated numbers will make up the greater number and we will eliminate thousands of puppet troops!"
