But no matter how bad the situation is, it can't stop his ambition to wipe out all the Eighth Route Army in the territory, let alone his determination to secure the position of commander of the Baoding Mixed Brigade.
"Snapped……"
He slapped the table in front of him and watched the deputy brigade commander order with murderous intent: "I only give you five days!"
"The newly formed field artillery brigade, mountain artillery squadron, three infantry brigades, and three regiments of the Imperial Association Army of the mixed brigade must all be prepared to participate in the war. Anyone who disobeys the order will be subject to military law..."
Miyazawa Daizuo was about to burst into tears. Considering the current situation of the Baoding garrison, Kawasaki Daizuo just decided that the task was simply impossible to complete. It was better to send him to a military court now.
Subconsciously, he was about to stand up and refute, but he was stopped by the chief of staff on the side, who kept winking at him, asking him to nod.
Miyazawa Ozuo didn't know what the chief of staff was thinking, but he had always had a good relationship with him. He was promoted to chief of staff of the brigade because of his own contribution.
Out of trust in his colleagues, he decided to compromise temporarily and replied: "Please rest assured, sir, I will ensure that the task is completed despite my humble position."
After the meeting, as soon as Kawasaki Daizuo walked out of the room, Miyazawa Daizuo asked the chief of staff anxiously: "Murakami-kun, you don't know the situation in Baoding. You just told me to agree to the brigade commander's order. That didn't lead me to a dead end."
Forced?"
Murakami Nakazuo quickly explained: "Don't worry, deputy brigade commander. In Chinese terms, we are grasshoppers on a rope. If something happens to you, my life will not be easy."
"Don't worry, I've thought of a solution for you."
"It is indeed difficult for us to gather three regiments of the Imperial Association Army in Baoding alone in five days. But don't forget that there are several counties in Baoding area under our management, and each county has one regiment of the Imperial Association Army.
.”
"We can use the newly established Imperial Association Army to exchange veterans with them, and exchange one county seat for another into an organic main battalion, and we will have two regiments of the Imperial Association Army."
】
"Replace two more battalions from the Baoding Guard Brigade, and we will have the three regiments requested by the brigade commander."
"The imperial army can also use this method to deal with it."
"Distribute them to various counties and form them into organic units in exchange for a few reinforcement squadrons. Even the step of integrated training is omitted, and they can be directly reorganized into infantry brigades."
Miyazawa Daizuo's frown slowly relaxed, and the serious expression on his face disappeared, finally replaced by a smile. Looking at the staff officer, he breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "Thank you for having me, otherwise I would definitely be sent away by the brigade commander."
Court martial."
…………
Zhoukoudian is a town that must be passed through in and out of the mountains in the southwest of Beiping. There are many guerrillas operating in the mountains.
In order to prevent these people from going deep into the plains and threatening the security of Peiping, the Peiping garrison built a large stronghold in the town, where more than 800 Japanese and puppet troops were permanently stationed.
He is usually responsible for sealing off the mountains and protecting the safety of Peiping.
If traces of Eighth Route Army guerrilla activities are discovered, the garrison will also go into the mountains to encircle and suppress them.
Because there was no main force of the Eighth Route Army around Peiping, and only a small number of guerrillas were active, the troops stationed in the stronghold entered the mountains several times and returned victorious.
As time went by, the little devils stationed here naturally became arrogant and did not pay much attention to the guerrillas in the mountains.
In particular, the leader of the Japanese team, in order to gain more military exploits, bribed many people to go into the mountains to collect intelligence, and when they discovered the guerrillas, they sent troops to kill them.
In the past six months, three guerrilla groups have been defeated by him, two guerrilla groups were completely wiped out, and one guerrilla group was severely damaged.
As a result, the few remaining guerrilla groups in the mountains did not dare to operate near Zhoukoudian.
Huang Yu chose this as his first stop after heading straight to Peiping.
Since the troops are called the 'Peking Guerrilla Detachment', they must come from around Peiping. The mountains to the southwest are the best place to establish a base. If the troops fight out from here, it will be more convincing to Gangcun Ningji.
With the help of the underground party, Huang Yu quickly contacted the guerrillas still active in the mountains.
Although their backs were in Peiping, each guerrilla group was having a particularly hard time under the heavy blockade of the Japanese and puppet troops.
The total strength of the three guerrilla groups is less than 150 people, and the equipment is even more shockingly poor. Not only do they not have heavy machine guns or mortars, they even have only two light machine guns. One guerrilla group does not even have one.
Can't get enough.
No wonder the little Japs in the Zhoukou stronghold dared to send troops to encircle and suppress them without restraint.
"Captain Wang, are you sure that after the guerrillas show up, the Zhoukou stronghold will send troops to surround you?" This was the key to Huang Yu's next action, and he had to confirm it repeatedly in front of the three guerrilla captains.
"Confirmed..." Guerrilla Captain Wang replied firmly.
"The Japs in the stronghold are very arrogant. They have successively eliminated two guerrilla groups of our army and severely damaged one of our guerrilla groups."
"Now the mountains are full of spies bought by the little devils. Their purpose is to find us and annihilate us."
"If we expose one guerrilla group, the Japanese will dispatch a reinforced squadron and a company of Japanese soldiers; if we expose more than two guerrilla groups, the Zhoukou stronghold will directly dispatch a reinforced squadron into the mountains to attack us."
Wei Dayong suddenly interrupted: "Captain, this is a good opportunity for fishing."
"First eat a reinforced squad of Japanese soldiers and a company of puppet soldiers, and then eat a reinforced squadron of Japanese soldiers and two or three companies of puppet soldiers. Then there will be no one left in the Zhoukou stronghold..."
Huang Yu's first thought was to fight like this, to concentrate his superior forces and defeat the Japs in each stronghold, so that he could capture the Zhoukou stronghold at the minimum cost and annihilate all the enemies.
But he quickly shook his head and rejected the idea.
He turned to Wei Dayong and asked: "What if the little devil doesn't get fooled a second time after being fooled once?"
"That would be troublesome..." Wei Dayong suddenly frowned into a big "Sichuan" sign and analyzed seriously.
"There are more than 800 Japanese and puppet troops in the Zhoukou stronghold. At most, 200 Japanese and puppet troops were killed in the first fishing trip. At least there are more than 600 Japanese and puppet troops left in the stronghold. Their strength far exceeds ours."
"If we attack by force, even if we take it down, we will have to pay a huge price, and we won't be able to move anymore."
Huang Yu immediately answered: "Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst case... If the Japanese in the stronghold are very cautious and won't be fooled a second time after being fooled once, then our losses will be great."
"In order to avoid this kind of accident, I decided to conduct only one ambush in the mountains, prove our strength to the Japanese through a hearty battle of annihilation, and then seize the opportunity to capture the Zhoukou stronghold to further prove the strength of our army to the Japanese."
After saying that, he ordered the guerrilla leader Wang: "Are there any traitors near the Zhoukou stronghold that you want to attack but can't..."
"There really is one..." Captain Wang replied blurtly.
"He has more than 30 thugs in his hands, and he often helps the Japanese to collect intelligence on us. It is because of them that the Zhangzhuang guerrillas were completely wiped out by the Japanese. In the past, we gathered two guerrillas to fight, but we failed."
"Then let's gather three guerrillas to attack together..." Huang Yu said decisively, and a complete plan to encircle the point for reinforcements immediately appeared in his mind.
