"Yes, Captain Wang is right. Why do the little devils and puppet soldiers eat hot and spicy food every day? We eat cornbread every day, so we will rob him of it. Besides, these grains are originally the hard work of our people.
It's so painful to sow, why should I give it to these little devils who are worse than beasts..." After hearing the words of the leader of the independent group of the third division, Liu Hua immediately stood up and continued.
After listening to Commander Liu Hua's words, the entire conference room burst into curses. However, the targets of their curses were all little devils and puppet soldiers. Seeing the lively conference room, Li Qing and Wang Nanhu, who were sitting next to Liu Hua, couldn't help but smile bitterly.
.
"Okay, okay, comrades, stop discussing. Let's continue the meeting. There are still many things that have not been resolved yet? Don't you all want to have lunch at noon..." Chief of Staff Li Qing patted the table in front of him and said.
When the comrades participating in the meeting heard about the issue of lunch, they immediately stopped the discussion, and the meeting room that was bustling just now suddenly became silent.
"Comrades, the discussion just now reflects your high morale. We will not discuss this issue here. As everyone said, the ultimate goal of our campaign this time is to grab food. Not only food, but also food.
As long as it's something we can use, we'll grab it," the chief of staff said with a smile.
"According to the research conducted by the Party Committee of the Independent Division and reported to the headquarters for approval, the Independent Division will organize at least eight regiments of troops to launch a major battle against the Japanese army in Hebei. At the same time, it is also to break the current predicament of the Third Army Division. According to our
After discussion and research, it was decided that the goal of this battle is..." The chief of staff paused deliberately and couldn't help but smile when he saw everyone stretching their necks to wait for him to answer their doubts.
"Our goal in this battle is Baoding,..." Li Qing loudly announced a piece of news that shocked everyone.
"Commander, Chief of Staff..." As soon as he heard the word Baoding, Commander of the Third Division Wang Nanhu couldn't sit still and couldn't help but stand up.
"Tell me what's going on!" Seeing Wang Nanhu's anxious face, Liu Hua nodded and said.
"Division Commander, Chief of Staff, is this decision too hasty? Baoding has a brigade of Japanese troops, plus a division of puppet troops. Their strength is almost the same as ours. In addition, they also have strong city defenses...
We...division commander, chief of staff, are you considering changing our combat objectives?" Wang Nanhu said with a worried look on his face.
Not only Wang Nanhu, but also the cadres of the third division who knew the true military strength of Baoding were full of worry. In their view, Baoding's solid city defense and strong defenders could not be defeated at all with their current strength.
Yes, even if they were defeated by luck, not many of the eight main regiments who participated in the battle would be left in the end.
"Haha, Commander Wang, you don't have to worry about this issue. Since the division and headquarters have agreed, it means that we have a way to defeat the enemy. Commander Wang, it has been half a year since your three divisions were established. You should be more concerned about this stuck in
The base is very familiar with Baoding, the key parts of the area. Now you want to introduce the specific situation of Baoding..." Liu Hua smiled at Wang Nanhu and said.
"Yes, division commander, chief of staff. It's like this. According to the long-term investigation results of the comrades of the Baoding underground party and our investigators, Baoding County is located in a strategic location, and the materials of the Japanese army going south from Tianjin have to pass through Baoding. Therefore, the Japanese army
After occupying Baoding, the entire county was converted into a military base, specifically used to store materials ready to go south. In addition, in order to prevent the common people in the city from destroying the military base, the Japanese army removed all Chinese people in the city except traitors and puppet troops.
Almost all the people have been driven out of the county town. It can be said that almost all the people in Baoding City are now enemies." Wang Nanhu stopped, took a breath, and continued.
"Secondly, in terms of military affairs, in order to protect this military warehouse, the Japanese army stationed a brigade of Japanese troops in Baoding County. According to internal information, it was learned that the brigade leader was Major General Kitamura Katsuzo, and he had two infantry regiments under his jurisdiction.
There is an artillery brigade and a logistics supply brigade, with a total of 7,000 troops stationed. In addition, a puppet army division is stationed in Baoding City. The division commander Wang Deli has three infantry regiments and an artillery battalion, with a total of 4,200 troops. In addition to these combat troops,
There are also many special agents and policemen in the city...the total strength reaches 12,000. In addition, the commander of the entire Baoding garrison is Major General Kitamura Katsuzo."
"Third, there is the problem of Baoding's city defense. After the Japanese army occupied Baoding again, because Baoding had hoarded countless supplies for the south, the North China Front attached great importance to this military base. Therefore, the entire city defense was reinforced on the original basis.
Three more gun towers were built at the front and rear city gates, each with at least one squadron of Japanese garrison inside. These gun towers are very strong and cannot be moved by the mortars in our hands. Moreover, the Japanese army is in
Countless light and dark fortifications have been built on the city wall, and countless firepower points have been added. It can be said that Baoding City is a very strong military fortress. Without the help of heavy weapons, it is almost impossible for us to break through it. This is the only thing we know."
After Wang Nanhu finished speaking, he nodded to everyone and sat down.
"Haha, Commander Wang just introduced the situation to everyone. Let's talk and express our opinions." Liu Hua looked at the dozens of cadres at regiment level and above in the conference room and said.
"Commander, Chief of Staff, I have something to say..." As soon as Liu Hua finished speaking, Wang Hu, the commander of the cavalry regiment, stood up.
"Uh, Commander Wang, if you have anything to say, just tell me. Today's meeting is just to collect everyone's opinions." Liu Hua nodded.
"Yes, Commander, Chief of Staff, fellow comrades, I didn't know the situation in Baoding before hearing Commander Wang's introduction, so I agreed to fight this battle. However, after listening to Commander Wang's introduction, I also agreed with Wang
We must be cautious about what the commander means..." After Wang Hu finished speaking, he sat down.
After listening to Wang Hu's words, the entire conference room, except Liu Hua and Chief of Staff Li Qing, nodded one after another, agreeing with Wang Hu's words.
"Comrades, look at everyone's situation. Do you all agree with Commander Wang and Commander Wang and oppose this war..." Liu Hua asked with a smile.
"Yes, Commander, the disparity in strength between the enemy and ours, and the disparity in weapons... are all put here. If we go to attack Baoding City, it will be like an egg against a rock..." Several soldiers nodded one after another.
"Haha, it seems that none of the comrades have confidence in this battle..." The smile on Liu Hua's face began to slowly disappear.
"Commander, it's not that we don't have courage. The most important thing for us to fight against the Japanese is to preserve our strength. Only in this way can we continue to compete with the Japanese. If we lose all our capital at once, what will we use to fight against the Japanese in the future?
Struggle?" Seeing that no one was speaking, Wang Hu, the commander of the cavalry regiment, stood up again and said.
"Sit down, who told you that I am going to storm Baoding City, huh? You don't know how to use your brain. Don't the leaders of our division and headquarters have any military common sense?" Liu Hua said unhappily.
"Commander, I've said too much..." Liu Hua wanted to continue, but was stopped by the chief of staff next to him.
"Comrades, I'm sorry, what I said just now went too far! I want to reflect on everyone." Seeing the restraining look from the chief of staff, Liu Hua reluctantly swallowed what he wanted to say.
"Comrades, what the commander just said is a bit excessive. However, I still fully agree with what he said. The lowest person here is also the commander of the regiment. The lives of one or two thousand people are in your hands. So.
"Whenever you face any situation, you must use your brain and not be impulsive," the chief of staff said.
"Commander, Chief of Staff, I know I was wrong..." At this point, Wang Hu stood up and said embarrassedly.
"Well, please sit down. Now let's return to the topic of the meeting. Commander Wang has just introduced to everyone the deployment of troops in Baoding County. It can be said that Baoding is impregnable to us, just with the troops and equipment in our hands.
, it is impossible to defeat them. Therefore, we must outsmart them, but how should we outsmart them? Now let me ask the chief of staff to give you a detailed plan for outsmarting them." Liu Hua pointed at Wang Hu.
He nodded and said.
"Bah bang bang..." After hearing Liu Hua's words, the conference room immediately burst into warm applause. After the applause, all the cadres present stretched their necks, wanting to know what to do.
"Comrades, the method is actually very simple. As group leaders, you should all have used this method before. That is to lure the snake out of the hole, and slowly and little by little use the guerrilla warfare and sparrow warfare that we are good at. Outside Baoding City, little by little
We will destroy the Japanese troops in the city until the remaining defenders in the city are within our tolerance, then we can launch a strong attack and capture Baoding City in one fell swoop," the chief of staff said with a smile.
"But, Chief of Staff, are the little Japs that stupid? Will they be so stupid that they leave the city little by little and let us slowly eliminate them?" Chen Gege, the political commissar of the third division, asked doubtfully. You know, what the Chief of Staff said
Method, unless the kid is a fool, it is simply an impossible task.
"Haha, Political Commissar Chen, I would like to ask, if the main forces of the three divisions are dispatched together, jump out of the mountainous area, and attack Shunping County, which is stuck at the gate of the base area, what do you think the little Japs in Baoding County will do?" Liu Hua asked with a smile.
.
"The little devils will definitely dispatch a large number of troops to wipe out the main force of our third division in one fell swoop. Within half a year, we also attacked many times, but we were driven back by the Japanese troops in Baoding City..." Chen Revolutionary blurted out.
"Then how many troops will Commander Kitamura Shengsan, the little Japanese commander, send?" Liu Hua then asked.
"Commander, according to past situations, the Japanese army will touch about one regiment and two regiments of puppet troops... The main force that must pass through our third division can have 5,000 troops. It will not be so easy to eliminate." This time it was
Commander Wang Nanhu answered first.
"Yes, very good, then let me ask you a question. If our troops attack the railway line north of Baoding, block its railway transportation, and paralyze their transportation, do you think Major Kitamura Shengsan will send troops...
Liu Hua then asked with a smile.
"Of course we will send troops. This railway runs through the north and south, and the supplies going south for the Japs will pass through there. If we don't send troops, let our people destroy the railway, unless Major General Kitamura Katsuzo's brain is burned out, or he
I miss their great god Amaterasu." This time it was Chen Gengfa who answered.
"That's ok. If the Japs send out a large group of Japanese troops and a regiment of puppet troops again, how many people will there be in Baoding City? Can we capture it? By the way, there is also the train station outside Baoding City.
, the large amount of supplies stored in the railway carriages can also attract a lot of Japanese troops." Liu Hua answered with a smile.
"Yes...Commander, why didn't I think that if this was the case, the puppet army of more than 10,000 days would be divided into several pieces by us and eaten slowly." Commander Wang Nanhu showed a look of sudden realization.
"Commander, Chief of Staff, I have another question." Political Commissar Chen Revolutionary stood up and said.
"Commissar Chen, you said..." Liu Hua nodded and said.
"That's right, Commander. You just said that as long as all the troops from our third division are mobilized, the Japs will send out at least 5,000 troops. However, these 5,000 Japanese and puppet troops, with our current strength,
It will not take a while to eliminate it. And within such a long period of time, the Japanese army will definitely ask for help from various surrounding strongholds, even Major General Kitamura Katsuzo in Baoding City. You know, around us, there are strongholds of all sizes.
The total number of Japanese and puppet troops is several thousand. If the Japanese reinforcements arrive in time and they attack from both inside and outside, we will be attacked from both sides..." Political Commissar Chen did not continue and sat down.
"Haha, Chief of Staff, please tell everyone here our solution!" After listening to the words of political commissar Chen Gegeru, Liu Hua did not have any worries and said with a smile.
"Yes, Commander, comrades, don't worry about what Political Commissar Chen just said. Commander, just for this battle, we brought a batch of new equipment from the base area, which is the newly formed independent division in the base area.
Electronic detachment. When the battle begins, as long as our electronic detachment is there, the enemy's request for help telegrams will be sent out. However, when each unit is fighting a war of annihilation, it must be remembered that no enemy, including the puppet army, should be let go.
.Otherwise, our plan will be in vain." The chief of staff said with a smile.
"Chief of Staff, what kind of equipment is this? It's so powerful..." After hearing what the Chief of Staff said, the cadres below immediately showed curious eyes.
"Everyone be quiet. According to the discussion at our division headquarters, in order to prevent destruction by Japanese spies, this equipment will only appear in everyone's sight during battle. Before the war, it will be kept secret, so everyone should not have anything
I want to know my thoughts in advance... Haha," the chief of staff replied with a smile.
"Okay, comrades, now everyone's questions have been resolved, so we must fight this battle well... Do you have confidence..." Liu Hua interrupted the discussion and asked.
"Yes..." The meeting room immediately remembered the neat and loud reply.
"Okay, from everyone's answers, I heard confidence. I also believe in everyone and our soldiers... Now please ask the chief of staff to assign specific combat tasks to each regiment..." Liu Hua also answered with confidence.
"Comrades, I will now announce to you the specific combat mission..." The chief of staff picked up a folder and stood up. After hearing the chief of staff's words, the cadres below immediately sat up straight, raised their heads and held their chests high.
"Three divisions independent regiment, artillery regiment mountain artillery battalion?" Chief of Staff Li Qing shouted loudly.
"Arrived..." Immediately, four cadres stood up in the conference room. (Because the artillery regiment and the cavalry regiment are technical arms and are directly under the headquarters, battalion-level cadres are equivalent to regiment-level cadres of ordinary infantry)
"Your mission is to attack Shunping County, but you must remember that you must use one regiment and one artillery battalion to create the momentum of three main regiments. Also, before the Japanese reinforcements leave the city, you must remember not to
They captured the county seat in a daze."
"Yes, I promise to complete the task..." The four people answered together and sat down.
"District 3: First Regiment, Second Regiment, Artillery Battalion, Cavalry Battalion, Quick Reaction Brigade, Cavalry Regiment, Artillery Regiment and two mortar battalions. You are ambushing in the Shenxian Mountain area less than ten kilometers away from Shunping County. The specific order of the ambush
It is: the first and second regiments of the three divisions are divided into left and right wings, ambushing at the front, followed by the cavalry battalion and artillery battalion. Then the three regiments of the quick reaction brigade are ambushing at the back. The artillery regiment chooses a suitable position to set up a mortar cluster.
, provide firepower, and the cavalry regiment serves as an assault force. Later, I will send you a topographic map around Shenxian Mountain, and your specific ambush location has been marked on the topographic map."
"The specific combat mission is: when the time comes, the Japanese army's marching column must have the puppet troops in front and the Japanese army behind. After all enemy troops enter the ambush circle, all artillery groups will fire immediately. At the same time, the cavalry battalion will quickly attack and directly insert into the puppet army.
The junction between the Japanese army and the Japanese army. After cutting off the connection between the two armies, the main force of the third division quickly launched an attack on the puppet troops in the encirclement and eliminated them as soon as possible. The rapid reaction brigade slowly compressed under the cover of artillery fire.
In the Japanese army's position, the cavalry regiment can also conduct small-scale attacks. After the puppet troops are eliminated, a total of five infantry regiments are assembled to launch a final attack on the Japanese army in the encirclement. At that time, the cavalry regiment will be responsible for the assault mission.
"The chief of staff ordered.
"Yes, I promise to complete the task..." At this time, almost all the remaining cadres stood up and answered.
