Chapter 395: The Chief Comes Too Untimely (Two Chapters In One)
394
"No, something big is going to happen in the base area!" Huang Yu made a judgment with a stern face after hearing the report.
"Yoshio Shinozuka wants to take advantage of the food shortage in our base area to send people to sneak into the base area to cause sabotage and plunge us into civil strife, thereby consuming our war potential!"
"Instructor, you go to Wuji Town immediately, temporarily act as the mayor of Wuji Town, let the Wuji Town government operate, and bring the guard platoon with you!"
"Old Zhong is responsible for the security of the battalion..."
"The gang of little devils who sneaked into our base area obviously want to attack our headquarters and local government agencies, leaving us leaderless and in chaos. The battalion headquarters is also their target!"
"If the battalion headquarters is also captured by them, the assault battalion will be in disgrace!"
"All communications squads are dispatched...notify our dispersed troops to immediately move closer to their respective company headquarters and protect all key targets in the defense area that may be attacked by the enemy!"
"I'll go to the regiment headquarters right away!"
"The action launched by Yoshio Shinozuka is definitely not just targeting our commando battalion. If there are many little Japs sneaking into our base area, the troops must immediately counterattack. The sooner they are eliminated, the sooner the base area returns to calm, and the greater our losses will be."
Small!"
"Otherwise, the base area may really be turned into a pot of porridge by these little devils!"
The regiment level learned the bad news about the attack on the base area later than the battalion headquarters. Kong Jie was so angry that he kept slapping the table, his hands turned red, and he still couldn't understand his hatred.
"Captain, we must find them immediately and kill them..." Chief of Staff Li Wensheng was also very angry, and he gritted his teeth and put forward his own ideas.
Kong Jie slowly calmed down from his anger, stared at the battle report in his hand and replied: "I discussed this issue with Xiao Huang before..."
"Xiao Huang also specifically analyzed with me Yoshio Shinozuka's possible dirty tricks against us, including sending troops to infiltrate into our base area to cause destruction."
"For this reason, I specially issued an order to the troops, asking comrades to be on guard and not to capsize in the gutter!"
"I didn't expect that despite all the precautions we took, we still failed to defend against these sneak attack troops..."
"Six company headquarters, two battalion headquarters, and two government offices...were attacked at the same time. More than half of the targets were devastated, and two deputy battalion commanders, three deputy instructors, and four company commanders were killed.
, five instructors, 11 deputy company commanders and deputy instructors, and more than 30 local cadres..."
"Damn it, we didn't lose so many cadres in the last counter-sweep operation, but a few unworthy sneak attack troops actually caused us such heavy losses..."
"If we don't kill them, I, Kong Jie, will lose all my face!"
"Li Yunlong and Ding Wei will definitely laugh me to death!"
"Then did you discuss ways to break the situation?" Li Wensheng asked anxiously.
Ten little Japanese sneak attack troops caused such heavy losses to the independent regiment.
If they were allowed to continue to act recklessly in the base area, the losses of the independent regiment would definitely increase exponentially, and the base area would be hidden, unstable, and fall into chaos... He couldn't help but be anxious.
"I thought about it, but it's of no use!" Kong Jie shook his head and replied.
"Every battle has its own characteristics and must be targeted to break the situation..."
"We did consider a Japanese sneak attack before... We also considered them pretending to be the Eighth Route Army to infiltrate the base area and attack us, but we didn't expect that they would send so many troops to attack us at the same time..."
"Contact Xiao Huang immediately and report to the regiment headquarters immediately...the faster the better..."
At the same time, all battalion commanders are told: From now on, all troops operating outside will be returned to their bases, and companies will be used to protect local governments and important facilities in the defense area to prevent enemy sneak attacks."
"Guerrillas, local troops, all come to action!"
"If you find any platoon-level troops operating outside, report them immediately to the surrounding main forces..."
Li Wensheng instantly understood Kong Jie's method of breaking the situation.
The independent regiment operates in company units, and the Japs who infiltrate into the base area operate in platoon units. In this way, the main platoon eight discovered by the local troops and guerrillas is the enemy pretending to be!
As long as they dare to come out, the main force of the group will definitely hit them accurately.
But this approach is only effective at the beginning!
When the Japanese see the purpose of the regiment leader, they will definitely unite their troops and act in company units like the main force of the regiment. It will be difficult to distinguish between the guerrillas and the local troops.
But no matter what, the regiment leader's method of breaking the situation can solve the immediate crisis, prevent the little devils who have infiltrated into the base area from continuing to act arrogantly, and buy the troops some breathing time.
Just as he was about to give the order, communications platoon leader Zhang Xuelin suddenly ran over: "Commander, there is an urgent call from the brigade headquarters!"
Kong Jie was shocked, thinking that the attack on the base area had reached the brigade commander's ears, so he was ready to be scolded while receiving the telegram.
Li Wensheng, who had walked to the door, also stepped back and looked at Kong Jie with confusion on his face, wanting to know what was written in the telegram sent by the brigade headquarters.
Seeing Kong Jie's frown getting deeper and deeper, and his expression becoming more and more serious, he thought something big had happened at the brigade headquarters, so he quickly asked: "Captain, what's on the telegram? Did something happen somewhere?"
"The chief wants to come to our base to visit the chicken farm..." Kong Jie said with a frown.
Li Wensheng laughed on the spot and said happily: "This is a good thing! It means that the superior leaders also attach great importance to our chicken farm and recognize our chicken farm... Why are you not happy at all!"
Kong Jie replied helplessly: "It is indeed a good thing that our work is recognized by our superiors!"
"But the chief came at the wrong time!"
"No one knows how many people the Japanese have infiltrated into our base area!"
"What if the commander is targeted by the Japanese and something goes wrong?"
The smile on Li Wensheng's face disappeared, and he immediately showed a worried expression: "How about we send a telegram to the brigade commander to report that the base area has been infiltrated by the Japanese, and ask the brigade commander to persuade the superiors, after we eliminate the Japanese sneak attack troops
Come again!"
Kong Jie shook his head and objected: "I can't afford to lose this person!"
"The total strength of the Independent Regiment is almost 10,000, and there are at most a few hundred Japs. It would be too embarrassing if the commander knew that we were too frightened by hundreds of Japs to entertain him. I can't send such a telegram.
!”
Li Wensheng thought for a moment and continued: "To be honest, I can't afford to disgrace such a person!"
"Since we can't let the chief come to the base area later...then let's try to eliminate the little devils who have infiltrated into our base area as soon as possible..."
"Get rid of all potential threats!"
"You're right!" Kong Jie supported.
"The leader will enter our base area in five days. We will use five days to eliminate all Japanese and puppet troops that have infiltrated into the base area!"
After saying that, he looked at Li Wensheng and ordered: "Immediately issue orders to all the troops to return to work... Let all the local troops and guerrillas in the base area take action and act as our eyes and ears!"
"I'll do some more research and see if I can think of other ways to deal with this enemy!"
At the Japanese military headquarters in Taiyuan, the chief of staff ran to Yoshio Shinozuka with great joy: "Your Excellency, Commander...the ten action teams that infiltrated into the base area of the Independence Regiment won the first battle!"
"This is the battle report I just received!"
"Ten action teams killed more than 20 company and above cadres of the Independent Regiment at the cost of 49 people, including many main company commanders and battalion-level cadres, and wiped out more than 300 Eighth Route Army and their local cadres. In terms of battle loss ratio, it is absolutely
This is the best battle we have fought against the independent group!"
Under normal circumstances, the results of this victory would not be able to enter the eyes of Yoshio Shinozuka.
But who told them that they have always lost more than they won against the independent group?
The few battles won were deliberately exaggerated for military propaganda purposes. It would be good if the casualty ratio could reach two to one.
The casualty ratio in the battle before us was an astonishing six to one. How could it not be shocking?
Shinozuka Yoshie was afraid that he had heard wrongly, so he took the battle report and looked at it very seriously, not missing every word.
"It seems... the effect of sending troops to sneak into the independent regiment's base to attack them is better than launching a large-scale raid!"
The chief of staff nodded: "In terms of casualty ratio, the effect is indeed better than frontal combat!"
Yoshio Shinozuka shook his head and analyzed: "That's wrong..."
"This sneak attack can also disrupt the independent regiment's base area and destabilize their military morale and morale!"
"The combat effect is greater than we imagined!"
"Now I finally understand why Colonel Yamamoto insists on special operations..."
"This kind of tactics can indeed achieve effects that frontal combat cannot achieve!"
"It's just that Colonel Yamamoto chose the wrong target to attack. He was too aggressive and wanted to attack the Eighth Route Army headquarters. If he could go from easy to difficult, attack the Eighth Route Army battalion and regiment headquarters first, gain more combat experience, and then attack the brigade.
The level headquarters will definitely be established!"
"chief of staff……"
Yoshio Shinozuka suddenly put down the battle report, looked at his deputy and said seriously.
"Ha Yi..." The chief of staff saw that the commander had an order and quickly stood up from his position.
"The operational effect of infiltrating the independent regiment's base area was very good. I decided to increase the size of the infiltration force..."
"Form up another twenty action teams with the same strength and equipment... You can appropriately increase the proportion of the Royal Association Army, penetrate into the independent regiment base area from different directions, and carry out sneak attacks, assassinations, blasting and other military marches!"
"If the casualty ratio can be maintained in the following military operations, even if these infiltration troops are wiped out by the independent regiment, they can still kill 5,000 to 6,000 Eighth Route Army troops, which is enough to severely damage the independent regiment and create conditions for us to sweep northwest Shanxi in the future!"
Although the chief of staff's face was calm, he was already happy in his heart.
The action team was established by him, and the relevant combat plans were also formulated by him. Today, the action team has achieved a lot in the independent regiment base area and has been recognized by the commander. He, as the leader, plays an important role.
If they can really defeat the independent group, they will undoubtedly have more promotion capital.
Looking at Yoshio Shinozuka, he looked forward to receiving the order: "Commander, please rest assured..."
"In half a month at most, I will infiltrate all the twenty newly formed action teams into the independent regiment base area."
At the headquarters of the Baipogou Independent Regiment, Kong Jie looked at Huang Yu who was rushing towards him in the dusty world, and Kong Jie wanted to let him rest a little longer.
But if the little Japanese hiding in the base area survive for one more day, the losses in the base area will increase.
In order to eliminate them as soon as possible, Huang Yu can only work harder.
Asked directly: "Have you heard about the Japs pretending to be the Eighth Route Army to sneak attack on our headquarters?"
Huang Yu nodded and replied: "The assault battalion was also attacked... and was successfully repelled by the second assault company..."
"But the Wuji Town government suffered a devastating blow, and sixteen local cadres and officials were killed... In order to maintain the normal operation of Wuji Town, I asked the instructor to temporarily act as the mayor of Wuji Town..."
"Yoshio Shinozuka is too cruel..."
"Although we thought in advance that they would use this kind of dirty trick against us, we didn't expect that he would have such a big appetite and sent ten troops to sneak attack us!"
Kong Jieshen agreed: "I didn't expect Yoshio Shinozuka to be so courageous!"
"I have ordered all units to plan and build up quickly, and the entire regiment must operate as a company..."
"The Japs who enter our base area all move in platoon units. As long as we see the main force at the platoon level, it should be the Japs pretending to be!"
"In addition to the troops stationed nearby who will immediately attack them, the cavalry battalion will also immediately reinforce them and chase down the Japs. We will try to find a Japs sneak attack unit and eliminate one..."
"But this situation will definitely not last long!"
"Japs are not fools. After suffering several losses, they will definitely act in company units. Or they may simply take off the uniforms of the main force and pretend to be local troops and guerrillas to continue wreaking havoc in the base area. It will be difficult to catch them!
"
Huang Yu said solemnly: "The Japanese and puppet troops that have sneaked into our base area can only mobilize the people in the base area to find them and cooperate with the main force to eliminate them. There is no other way!"
"But if you want to put an end to this kind of dirty trick, the best way is to fight tooth for tooth!"
"The Japs sent an action team to sneak attack our army's headquarters and attack our army's important targets. We can also treat others in their own way and send action teams to attack their command headquarters and attack their important targets!"
"Beat them painfully, blind them, and make them feel that if they continue to beat them, they will be the ones who suffer in the end. This kind of underhanded tactics will naturally end!"
"Didn't the regiment form a special force?"
"If the regiment leader can trust me, I will personally lead them through the blockade and into enemy-occupied territory, and teach Yoshio Shinozuka a lesson!"
"If we have the opportunity, we can directly sneak into Taiyuan and launch several attacks in the city, which will also plunge Taiyuan into panic and chaos!"
"It's best to kill a few officers above the rank of colonel, so that all the Japanese will be in danger!"
"In order to stabilize the morale of the military, Shinozuka Yoshio has no choice but to put an end to those dirty tricks no matter how unwilling he is!"
Bullying the weak and fearing the strong is also the style of the little devil, and Kong Jie knew it very well.
If you want them to admit defeat and put an end to this dirty trick, the only way is to hurt them.
Huang Yu looked at him seriously and asked, "How sure are you?"
"At least 60%..." Huang Yu answered seriously.
"If we bring Duan Peng's second reconnaissance platoon with us, and the Taiyuan underground party unconditionally cooperates with us, and the regiment headquarters prepares more short guns, I'm at least 80% sure!" This chapter has been completed!
