Chapter 611 The chief’s main course is yet to come (first update)
"Commander of the brigade, you must have heard the words "suffering hardships and suffering hardships". Since our army currently does not have the strength to sweep through northwest Shanxi, it should stop. No more accidents or unnecessary casualties should occur. Everything should focus on stability. Wait.
The troops will accumulate sufficient strength before launching operations." Lieutenant Colonel Cunami mustered up the courage to stand up and put forward his own ideas.
At this moment, the brigade commander seemed to have lost his mind. Facing the reinforcements with heavy casualties, he not only had no clue, but also a little panicked. As the chief of staff of the brigade, if he didn't stand up and make up his mind and help the brigade commander find a way,
The headquarters will definitely be in chaos and the morale of the troops will be turbulent, which will in turn affect the morale and morale of the entire mixed brigade.
Seeing that Colonel Kawasaki was still staring at the sand table with furrowed brows, saying nothing, and showing no reaction to his proposal, Lieutenant Colonel Kawasaki could only continue: "Our opponents are very cunning, and they are full of various tactics and tactics. But
In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy will become vulnerable. If we want to win in one battle and defeat them, we must hold heavy troops and not give the Eighth Route Army any opportunity to take advantage."
Colonel Kawasaki suddenly raised his head, looked at Lieutenant Colonel Kumami and said with admiration: "You said it very well."
"I was so angry just now that I almost lost my mind. As a brigade leader, I must stay calm at all times and not let a defeat affect my thoughts. Thank you for your reminder."
"Master Cun, you are very qualified as chief of staff."
"I have never directly fought against the Yizhong Eighth Route Army before, and all my knowledge of them comes from past battles. The battle at Peishan allowed me to see their cunning and strength again."
"Faced with such an opponent, no matter how we use our tactics, we cannot be foolproof. As long as the troops reveal any flaws during the sweep, they will catch them and break the situation."
"Only by gathering heavy troops to sweep the Yi Zhong Plain and making their tactics useless in the face of strong strength can we avoid various accidents, win in one battle and defeat them."
"The four words "lie on the fuel and taste the courage" are well used.
"You call Kong Jie right away and ask him to carefully summarize the experience and lessons learned from Pei Shan's battle, and then report it to the headquarters."
At the Eighth Route Army General Headquarters, the Chief of Staff rushed into the war room with a happy face, raised the telegram tape in his hand to the Deputy Commander-in-Chief and reported: "Chief, good news..."
Guanjiabao stronghold is a medium-sized stronghold used by the Japanese and puppet troops in Fangshan to blockade the mountain.
"Given the current strength of the Yizhong Eighth Route Army, if it defends passively in the base area and faces heavy raids by more than 10,000 puppet troops, it will suffer heavy losses even if it holds the base area."
The chief of staff then reported: "Chief, this victory is at best an appetizer, the real main course is yet to come."
"If a Buddha stands in the way, he will kill the Buddha, and if the god stands in the way, he will kill the god. No matter what tactics and tactics they use, they will become vulnerable to the torrent of steel and artillery shells of the imperial army."
"As a result, they did the opposite, proactively provoking wars and attacking enemy-occupied areas before the Japanese launched a major sweep. Not only could they seize the initiative on the battlefield, but they could also move the battlefield to enemy-occupied areas and reduce the damage caused to the base areas by the war in one fell swoop.
get more."
…………
"In order to reduce the counter-mopping pressure on Kong Jie, we have strictly ordered the troops operating on the only way for the Japanese to take the initiative to attack, consume the Japanese reinforcements and slow down their marching speed."
"The combat effect was very good... There were more than 5,600 reinforcements in the four routes, but less than 4,000 arrived in Baoding alive, including 400 to 500 seriously injured people. More than 1,700 people were wiped out by the troops along the way.
The results were outstanding.”
The deputy commander did not hesitate at all and made a decision with a wave of his hand: "It must be given..."
The Japanese and puppet troops rushed out of the barracks in disheveled clothes. Some were holding rifles and armed belts, while others were carrying light machine guns. They went straight to the turrets and bunkers, all trying to get into combat positions as soon as possible.
The alarm sounded suddenly, and the stronghold quickly became lively.
"We only mobilized three main regiments and some local troops for this operation, and the casualties were very small. We definitely took a big advantage."
"Kong Jie also reported: In order to prevent the troops from being defeated by us again, the Japanese army in Baoding strictly ordered the troops stationed in various places not to take the initiative to attack the Yizhong base area and not to take the initiative to provoke the Eighth Route Army in Yizhong."
"In order to smash the Japanese army's raid on the Yizhong base in Baoding, while we were helping to provide reinforcements, Kong Jie and Huang Yu were also busy."
"When the Duer Regiment was still the Duer Brigade, the base area was not large, and there were very few local cadres in reserve. Now the base area has been expanded three times, and there are several in the county alone. They have already used up all the local cadres they have.
"Today, there are still three county towns where local cadres are represented by military cadres, which is not conducive to local development and will also affect the construction of base areas."
"By the way, I told him that the headquarters fully supports the tactics he implemented in the Yizhong Plain. I hope they will continue their efforts to further inflict heavy damage on the Japanese and puppet troops in Baoding. Each time, they can disrupt the Japanese and puppet troops' large-scale raids on the Yizhong Plain in advance and defend the base area.
.”
The deputy commander's face suddenly lit up with joy, and he said happily: "It was a good fight..."
If the stronghold is attacked, reinforcements will arrive after a quick march of more than half an hour.
"I think this style of play deserves to be promoted throughout the military."
A gunshot pierced the tranquility of the night, the dazzling searchlights were instantly extinguished, and the stronghold became pitch black at the same time.
"We must not be fooled by them again this time."
Speaking of this, Colonel Kawasaki suddenly thought of something, slammed the table, and said with a look of realization: "I really want to know why the Yizhong Eighth Route Army suddenly attacked Yixian County."
"If there was no battle in Yi County, Baoding City should be able to dispatch six infantry brigades, one chariot brigade, one cavalry brigade, one field artillery brigade, and three regiments of the Imperial Association Army, a total of more than 11,000 troops
Sweep the plains of the Wings."
"Kong Jie also hopes that the local cadres we send there should preferably have fought in wars and have experience in commanding operations."
Originally, there were only more than a hundred Japanese and puppet troops stationed there. After Okamura Neji transferred 5,000 elite troops, although the garrison at the stronghold did not increase, a reinforced brigade was stationed in a town five kilometers behind the stronghold.
"They plan to take this opportunity to take the initiative again and use it as a training ground. While expanding the guerrilla areas in enemy-occupied areas, they will consolidate the base areas and improve the combat effectiveness of the troops through actual combat. They can also further consume the Japanese and puppet troops through these small fights.
To achieve the goal of killing four birds with one stone.”
The chief of staff continued to report: "In addition to battle reports, Kong Jie also hopes that the headquarters will support some of their local cadres."
…………
"In this way, although the Japanese army in Baoding received more than 3,000 reinforcements from other places, they lost more than 3,000 people in Yixian and Peishan, and also lost all the artillery of a field artillery brigade. Not only did the total strength not increase, the troops
Our morale has also dropped a lot because of this great defeat. It can be said that we lost both our wives and our troops, and the operation to sweep the base area in Yi Zhong had to be temporarily terminated."
"The Eighth Route Army knew that they were no match for us, so they took the initiative to attack Yixian, and consumed our army's strength by encircling the points and providing reinforcements, and also disrupted the rhythm of our raids."
"It's not easy for us to help you with something, so we definitely can't refuse."
"I will contact the headquarters immediately and ask the Commander to give us additional strength."
"Dong dong dong... da da da... boom boom boom..."
"From now on, all units under the Baoding Mixed Brigade will not be able to actively provoke the Eighth Route Army in the wing. All units will strictly guard their positions and not give the Eighth Route Army any opportunity to take advantage."
"I feel that Kong Jie and Huang Yu are digging holes for the Japs again, and the headquarters must support them both emotionally and rationally."
"Kong Jie has repeatedly made military exploits. He brings surprises to the headquarters one after another, and rarely makes any demands. We must support such outstanding cadres."
Lieutenant Colonel Cun Shang thought that this was really the case. In order to strengthen Colonel Kawasaki's determination to defeat the Eighth Route Army in Yi Zhong, he complimented him: "Your Excellency, the brigade commander, is wise. We will use whatever tactics the Eighth Route Army is afraid of, and we will not give them any opportunity to take advantage of them."
, and we won’t give them any chance to defeat us.”
"Assign them personnel according to the standards of the five counties, try to recruit local cadres with military combat experience, and see what holes Kong Jie and Huang Yu have dug for the little devils."
In the absence of nightlife, the stronghold became extremely quiet just after nine o'clock in the evening. Only the searchlight on the top of the turret was still swinging back and forth, illuminating the surrounding area to prevent anyone from sneaking into the stronghold.
"When the troops are assembled, the 10,000-strong army will sweep directly over."
"Didn't the Baoding Japanese army ask for a lot of reinforcements from surrounding garrisons and plan to mobilize heavy troops to sweep the Yizhong base again?"
"According to their current development speed, the future Yizhong base area will definitely be more than the current four counties. Let us try to send as many as possible."
"boom……"
"Taking the initiative to attack Yixian County, encirclement the points for reinforcements, and severely damaged the reinforcements sent by Baoding to the front line men in the Peishan area. They eliminated more than 3,000 Japs, nearly 1,000 puppet troops, and seized a large amount of weapons and equipment."
"Before the big sweep begins, no matter how provocative the Eighth Route Army is, our army cannot take the initiative."
The deputy commander was stunned when he heard this. He took the telegram and read it twice in a row before he recovered from the shock. The smile on his face became stronger and he sighed from the bottom of his heart: "They say that offense is the best defense. This sentence
It's true."
"This time we must gather at least 10,000 troops before we can act. No one can act in advance."
"In the past, it was difficult to mobilize seven or eight regiments to fight against the Japanese, but it was difficult to eliminate more than 1,700 small Japanese at once."
The sound of exchange of fire soon sounded on the battlefield, mixed with the sound of many shell explosions. Soon the stronghold was riddled with holes, causing heavy casualties, and had to call for reinforcements from the garrison at the rear.
At the Japanese military station five kilometers away, the assembly whistle suddenly sounded. The little Japanese who had been awakened by the gunshots quickly rushed out of the tent and rushed to the assembly area in small groups.
In less than five minutes, two infantry squadrons, half a mortar squadron, and half a heavy machine gun squadron, a total of more than 500 little devils, rushed towards the Guanjiabao stronghold, with the deputy captain personally leading the team.
