As soon as Huang Yu stepped into the war room at the Duer Regiment Headquarters, a telegram from the General Headquarters was sent in.
Huang Yu fell silent after reading this. Unexpectedly, a small independent regiment attracted the attention of the commander of the Japanese North China Front.
Moreover, this commander was Neji Okamura, one of the most notorious Japanese officers in the history of the invasion of China.
In the land of North China, he devised many bloody methods to oppress the people and attack the Chinese army.
Facing such a scheming opponent, even if Huang Yu traveled through time, he still had many concerns and did not have much confidence.
Just like the accident in front of him, Neji Okamura didn't take action, and when he did, he focused on the weak point of the Duer Regiment and dealt a fatal blow.
At this moment, the Duer Regiment is at a critical moment of expansion, and its overall combat effectiveness is very poor. Although it has the trump card of artillery, it is only effective against light infantry.
If the Japanese attack the base area with a large number of artillery, the small number of artillery equipped by the Duer Regiment will not only not be able to severely damage the enemy, but may also lose the wife and troops, which will be a huge loss.
Okamura Neiji obviously saw this, and not only strengthened a heavy artillery brigade for the reinforcements, but also added more than 20 mountain field guns to the Baoding mixed brigade.
The reinforcements and the mixed brigade itself are also equipped with a lot of artillery. Taken together, the Japanese's next major raid will be equipped with at least forty artillery pieces with a caliber of 75 mm or above and hundreds of ordinary mortars.
There are also chariot brigades and cavalry brigades, all of which are powerful weapons for plain warfare.
In this way, the Japanese and puppet troops' chances of winning the mopping up troops increased by two points.
"Xiao Huang, what do you think?" Kong Jie said with a long sigh.
"Ningji Okamura has assembled heavy troops to sweep us away at this time. He obviously wants to nip us in the bud. He also grasps the timing of the attack very well. He is worthy of being the commander of the North China Front with hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands..."
"Judging from the size of the reinforcements, the total strength of the Japanese and puppet troops attacking us this time will definitely exceed 10,000 people."
"If this is a mountain battle in northwestern Shanxi, I have plenty of ways to compete with them."
"The problem is that we are now in a plain, and the terrain is more conducive to the Japanese taking advantage of their firepower and armor."
"Let alone the troops, many soldiers have not even learned how to shoot. Letting them go to the battlefield now is tantamount to death."
"The terrain advantage, troop advantage, firepower advantage...all belong to the Japs. No matter how you calculate it, our chances of winning this battle are less than 10%."
Chief of Staff Liu Sen also said solemnly: "The only way I can think of to break the situation is to give up the good situation in front of me, lead the troops to withdraw into the Tao Mountain, and use the special terrain there to fight against the Japanese to sweep away the troops and fight guerrillas..."
"But in this case, the troops' hard work for more than a month will be in vain, and the military morale and public morale they finally won outside the mountains will be completely lost because of this retreat!"
"You definitely can't use this trick unless absolutely necessary."
"The regiment leader said that you have a quick mind and many evil ideas. You are also the deputy chief of staff of our Duer Regiment. Let's think about it together and see if we can repel the Japanese and puppet attack while maintaining the base area."
Huang Yu didn't answer. He stared at the map for a long time before speaking: "Regiment Commander, Chief of Staff, based on the analysis of the Japanese troops dispatched, Okamura Neji made it clear that he wanted to attack us in the bud. No.
Give us the opportunity to continue to grow bigger.”
"The chance of winning by taking it head-on is indeed very low, but we can find another way and find a way from the Japanese reinforcements."
"As far as I know, the Japanese troops stationed in Peiping formed a mixed brigade after they were fully prepared."
"Five thousand people were sent out to reinforce Baoding at once, and there were at most more than 3,000 troops left in the Peiping garrison."
"There are only three thousand garrison troops in such a big city. Neji Okamura is too courageous. Isn't he worried about accidents in Peiping due to insufficient troops?"
Liu Sen was the one among the three who knew the enemy situation around Yi Zhong the best. He replied bluntly: "Ningji Okamura is really not afraid!"
"Beiping, as the headquarters of the Japanese North China Front, not only stationed a mixed brigade, but also stationed an infantry regiment in Tianjin dozens of kilometers away. Together with other scattered little Japanese, there were at least more than 10,000 people."
"This doesn't count the traitors who work for the little devils!"
"Under heavy military protection, almost no troops dare to move around Peiping."
"Without any rivals, even if Neji Okamura redeploys all the troops stationed in Peiping, there will be no security problems there."
After hearing this, Huang Yu had an idea in his mind. He stared at the map and said, "If there is no army, let's send one there..."
"There have been no Chinese military activities around Peiping for a long time. The Japanese and puppet troops stationed there must have been less vigilant. Now that more than 5,000 people have been transferred away, there must be loopholes in Peiping's defense. This is the perfect opportunity for us to raid there.
"
"If we send a force directly into Peiping, find a way to fight two annihilation battles, kill some little Japs, and create a great momentum, making Neji Okamura mistakenly believe that there are two or three regiments of the Eighth Route Army operating outside Peiping, we are doing whatever it takes.
To attack the Peking garrison and establish a base around Peking, what do you think Okamura Neiji will do?"
"Of course we are sending troops back to support Peiping..." Chief of Staff Liu Sen replied bluntly.
"Although we may threaten the security of Peiping, there is Baoding in the middle. As long as Baoding is still occupied by them, we will not be able to affect Peiping."
"But if there are our bases around Beiping, we can attack Beiping City anytime and anywhere. Neji Okamura won't dare to close his eyes when he sleeps at night."
"Beiping is the seat of the Japanese North China Front Army Headquarters. If even the minimum security cannot be guaranteed, Okamura Neiji will definitely lose face, and the morale of the North China Front Army will be greatly affected. From this analysis, Okamura Neiji will not
We will be allowed to establish base areas around Peiping, and our troops will not be allowed to move around Peiping."
At this point, another question popped up in Liu Sen's mind. Looking at Huang Yu's hesitant look, he reminded him: "But Xiao Huang, Okamura Neji's troops to reinforce Baoding have already set off. Normally, they would arrive in Baoding tonight."
"We are sending troops to Peking now. Isn't it too late?"
"There is another question: Neji Okamura is not an ordinary person. I want him to believe that there are three regiments of the Eighth Route Army around Beiping. We must at least send three reinforced battalions there."
"The army has just been expanded, and none of the main battalions have formed combat effectiveness. It is impossible to spare three reinforced battalions to raid Peiping."
Huang Yu shook his head and explained: "It's not too late at all."
"It doesn't matter that the reinforcements sent by Gangcun Ningji will arrive in Baoding tonight, but they will not be able to attack us until they join up with the Japanese and puppet troops in Baoding."
"The two thousand new recruits that Okamura Neiji has added to Baoding have just arrived. It will take two or three days at the earliest to integrate into the army and form combat effectiveness."
"This time difference is enough for us to penetrate outside the city of Peiping, create momentum, and threaten the security of Peiping."
