Chapter 610 Okamura: A scholar can be killed but not humiliated
Chapter 610 Okamura Shi can be killed but not humiliated (second update)
610
"Your Excellency, Commander, I understand your humble position!" The Chief of Staff on the side was enlightened and suddenly reacted.
"If the Eighth Route Army that raided Peiping before really came from the Yizhong Plain, then the sudden appearance of one or two thousand veterans from the Yizhong Eighth Route Army would be easy to explain."
"When the Peiping Guerrilla Detachment captured Tongxian County, they captured a large number of soldiers of the Pacification Army. Many of them were trained by the Imperial Army and had very strong combat effectiveness. However, they were all taken away by the Eighth Route Army."
"If the Peiping guerrilla detachment came from the Yizhong Plain, those prisoners must have arrived there as well."
"With the Eighth Route Army's powerful mobilization ability, as long as 60% of the prisoners are persuaded to join them, the Yizhong Eighth Route Army can acquire nearly two thousand veterans out of thin air. It can even skip the training step and can join the battle with weapons."
"The Eighth Route Army in Yizhong originally numbered more than 5,000 people. Suddenly, there were 2,000 more captured soldiers. Adding some local troops, the total strength will not exceed 8,000."
"Captain Kawasaki's battle report also stated that the Yizhong Eighth Route Army was equipped with a large number of artillery pieces. Each of the two regiments of the Pacification Army stationed in Tong County had a mortar battery. Adding the artillery pieces lost by the Fangshan mixed brigade, they captured at least forty pieces."
"Including the mortars originally equipped by the Eighth Route Army in Yinzhong, a hundred are too few."
"All this proves that the Peiping guerrilla detachment did come from the Yizhong Plain."
After all, Okamura Neji also figured it out, but the anger on his face did not dissipate, but became more and more intense.
To be honest: he doesn't want to drag the guerrillas onto the battlefield to confront the Japanese, but the captain's order must be carried out.
"Although they have not been trained and cannot directly participate in the battle, they can help the participating troops clean the battlefield, transport loot, and escort prisoners."
This morning, the reinforcements finally arrived in Baoding City, but the result was not optimistic.
Zhang Xuan nodded and replied: "Compared with the recruits in the base area, these guerrilla fighters are much better. At least they don't need special training in marksmanship and the most basic formations. They have also been on the battlefield, and their ability to adapt to the battlefield is better than that of ordinary recruits."
powerful."
"We are required to launch several military operations as soon as possible to let the Japanese and puppet troops in Peiping know our existence and drag them around Peking so that they cannot divide our troops to reinforce other battlefields."
"The second method is more risky than the first method. If you are not careful, it will cause a devastating blow to the attacking troops."
…………
"Companies 258 and 3 are also ready to attack."
"Unless it is absolutely necessary, use the first method to break the situation."
Zhang Xuan then said: "This is the result I want to see. The angrier Okamura Neji is, the easier it is to lose his mind, the more chaotic the troops below will be, and the easier it will be for us to find fighters."
"It's a combat mission..."
"I think the first method is very risky. The Japanese and puppet troops outside the mountain are strong. If they dared to enter the mountain, they should have come in long ago, and they would not wait until now."
At the Mao'er Mountain Guerrilla Brigade station in Fangshan County, more than 500 soldiers were hiding in the woods in company units to train. There were three main companies of 120 people each, and a guard company of 150 people. Some were practicing marksmanship, and some were practicing throwing.
Hand grenades, and troops practicing tactical formations... very lively.
Zhang Xuan frowned immediately.
After saying that, he continued to ask Fang Yu: "How about the remaining six shelves?"
"One is to attack from the east and west, tearing a hole in the enemy's blockade, sending a force deep into the enemy-occupied area to carry out sabotage, making the Japanese think that we want to establish a base outside the mountains again, forcing them to divide their forces to chase our attacking troops, and blockade the outside of the mountains.
We have fewer Japanese and puppet troops, and the troops left behind took the opportunity to fight a few battles of annihilation on the blockade."
Although he had given up the idea of immediately retaliating against the Eighth Route Army in Yizhong, he did not give up the idea of sweeping the Yizhong Plain. Reinforcements from several places were his last hope to sweep the Yizhong Plain.
I felt helpless and full of worries, but I still replied with a serious face: "Call the captain back immediately, and the guerrilla brigade promises to complete the mission."
…………
"In the past, the guerrillas lacked equipment, ammunition, food, and had no unified command. They fought independently and had no conditions to expand their troops."
The guerrilla brigade has only more than 500 troops that can participate in the war. The disparity in strength is not ordinary.
"During this period, we lost no less than 2,500 imperial troops."
He punched the table hard and said: "Shi can be killed but not humiliated. The Eighth Route Army in Yi Zhong is simply treating us like monkeys. If we don't kill them, I, Okamura Neji, will lose all my face."
"All security tasks in the base area are given to companies 369 and 3."
"Inform the first company, fourth company, seventh company, guard company, and artillery company to immediately replenish weapons and ammunition and assemble and stand by."
The captain would not let him go to the battlefield with a unit that has not completed training for no reason.
"I suggest you wait a little longer!" the chief of staff immediately put forward his opinion.
"Several guerrilla groups have been operating in the mountains all year round. The masses have a very good foundation. The three squadron leaders are like chicken blood. They visit at least one village every day and recruit new soldiers everywhere."
The first reinforced brigade to arrive had only more than 800 soldiers left, including more than 100 seriously injured people who had lost their combat effectiveness. The remaining 400 people all fell on the march.
"Immediately find a way to reveal the news that the Peiping Guerrilla Detachment does not exist. We will start taking action tomorrow night."
"When they are angry, we take the initiative to provoke them. No matter how good-tempered the Japanese and puppet troops outside the mountains are, they will be angered by us. As long as the little Japanese troops entering the mountains are within one brigade, I am sure to use guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare to defeat them.
Drag them to death in the mountains, gather them together and annihilate them."
"Do you dare to enter the mountain?" Fang Yu asked skeptically.
"I can think of two ways for now: One is to take the initiative, lure the enemy deep into the base, and fight one or two annihilation battles in the base area."
He asked directly with a worried expression: "Chief of Staff, this battle is too high and it is almost impossible to complete. How do you want to fight?"
"I will never be fooled by them again this time. When will the 5,000 elites capture the Yizhong Eighth Route Army and return to Peiping?"
"I guess they still think that the Peiping guerrilla detachment is hiding in the mountains. They are afraid that the troops will be ambushed when they enter the mountains, so they dare not act rashly."
"Chief of Staff... Judging from the results of the training in the morning, the marksmanship of the three main companies is basically up to standard, but the training of tactical movements needs to be strengthened." Deputy Political Commissar Fang Yu looked at the troops in front of him and said with satisfaction.
"In order to avoid another accident in Peiping, we must first transfer 5,000 men from the returning reinforcements to fill the gap, and then the remaining troops can go to reinforce Baoding."
"The regiment leader has high hopes for our guerrilla brigade. If the army wants to develop and grow in Peiping, it must not rely solely on the four companies in front of it. The remaining six companies must also form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, win more battles, and seize more weapons and ammunition. The ability of the army will
The more you fight, the stronger you become."
The reason why this military order was issued must be that something went wrong.
Okamura Neiji was very unwilling. The longer the sweep lasted, the stronger the Eighth Route Army's combat effectiveness would be, the greater the pressure on the Imperial Army for a decisive battle, and the greater the price it would pay.
"I have a strong hunch: it won't be long before these troops will be dragged onto the battlefield to kill the Japanese."
But he didn't have the ability to spread the beans into an army, and he couldn't turn it into an army. No matter how unwilling he was, he had to accept this fact.
Zhang Xuan replied seriously: "Since I came to the guerrilla brigade, I have begun to think about the army breaking the situation."
At the Japanese brigade headquarters in Baoding, Colonel Kawasaki was furious in the war room.
After saying that, he ordered Fang Yu: "Deputy Political Commissar Fang, we don't have time to continue training."
"Then let them know that there is no so-called Peking guerrilla detachment in the mountains. There are only three guerrilla groups with less than a hundred soldiers. Let the Japanese know that they have been tricked." Zhang Xuan immediately expressed the thoughts hidden in his heart.
Okamura Neji was not the kind of person who couldn't listen to opinions. He frowned and asked in displeasure: "Then there are less than 3,000 reinforcements left, so how can we reinforce Baoding?"
"Commander, think twice..." the chief of staff was the first to stand up and object.
"Even if the Eighth Route Army in Yizhong has 2,000 more veterans, it cannot be a match for Fangshan County's 5,000 elite troops."
Although Fang Yu is a political cadre, he also knows the enemy situation around him very well.
No matter which aspect you analyze it from, the guerrilla brigade's initiative to attack the Japanese and puppet troops is a waste of time and will inevitably result in defeat.
"Then Okamura Neji isn't going crazy with us?" Fang Yu didn't expect Zhang Xuan to be so courageous and went out of his way to rub salt into Okamura Neji's wounds.
"The next batch of supplementary troops sent from China will arrive soon. We can use the supplementary troops to supplement the losses of the garrison in various places. Without using the 5,000 return troops, they can reinforce Baoding again and completely wipe out the Eighth Route Army in Yinzhong."
"According to the latest results reported by them, the three squadrons have each recruited a shelf company, and they are trying to find ways to supplement the last shelf company..."
"Pass me an order: The five thousand elites who are refusing to be released in Fangshan County will immediately go south to reinforce Baoding."
"An urgent call to the chief of staff, deputy political commissar, and captain..." The operator suddenly ran towards them and reported excitedly before he could stand still.
"Inform the three company commanders that our training speed will be accelerated. Starting from today, we will train for two hours every day, specifically training tactical movements, so that the troops can form combat effectiveness as soon as possible."
With the original garrison at Fangshan and the 5,000 elite troops reinforced by Neji Okamura, a total of 7,000 Japanese puppet troops gathered outside the mountain.
"I heard that this old devil has said harsh words to the outside world, and he must cut the Peking Guerrilla Detachment into thousands of pieces, not sparing any one, in order to wash away the shame of Tong County being occupied. If he knows that the Peking Guerrilla Detachment does not exist,
His 5,000 reinforcements have done nothing, and they will definitely be so angry that they will vomit blood on the spot."
"Now the army is lacking in everything. As long as there are people, the army can be mobilized immediately."
"The Yizhong Eighth Route Army raided Beiping, not only captured Tong County and annihilated more than 3,000 appeasement troops in Tong County, but also severely damaged the Fangshan garrison, severely damaged the airport, and severely damaged the reinforcements sent by Tianjin to Tong County."
Fang Yu replied with a smile: "Although our scope of activities is limited to the mountains, because it is backed by Peking, there are still several towns in the mountains with a total population of more than 40,000, which is more than a county in many places."
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the second reinforcements arrived in Baoding and were in a worse situation than the first reinforcements.
A reinforced brigade only survived with less than 800 remaining soldiers, and more than half of its heavy weapons were lost.
Calculated based on this loss ratio, Baoding can only get more than 3,000 reinforcements, which can just make up for the losses in the Yixian battle. It is equivalent to waiting for reinforcements for several days and not strengthening the strength of the Baoding garrison. I have been preparing for so long in vain.
time.
