This is only one aspect, these three regiments still have many areas of insufficient preparation.
For example, the maintenance of tanks and half-track vehicles is not in place... This is extremely important for intersecting troops.
Because this was an insertion and attack, and Wang Xuexin was preparing for a deep penetration, equipment malfunctions would inevitably occur during the march and combat.
When the time comes, you can’t just throw it away if there is a small problem, right?
If this is the case, I'm afraid the troops' equipment has already been damaged before they even enter Northeast China.
Eagle Sauce and Mao Xiong came with their logistics personnel, while the Sherman tank came with its parts and maintenance personnel.
The problem is that if the troops want to fight deep into the enemy's heartland, they cannot bring Yingjiang and Mao Xiong's soldiers... This is irresponsible for Yingjiang's use of Mao Xiong, especially Mao Xiong. If the Japanese know that there are military personnel in the Eighth Route Army
If we fight within the army, we should be accused by the Japanese of violating the agreement.
There is a saying that "never fight an unprepared battle."
Of course Wang Xuexin understands this truth, but how easy is it to be prepared before a war? Especially on the battlefield, where no one is waiting, and the opportunity to fight is fleeting, there will be no shop after passing this village.
What pleased Wang Xuexin was that the anti-alliance force was proceeding smoothly.
The number of anti-alliance troops who entered Maoxiong was about a thousand... The anti-alliance troops originally numbered more than 30,000 people in the first, second, third and third route armies, but their number was reduced sharply to 1,800 under the Japanese encirclement and suppression, and they finally withdrew.
Only about 500 people entered Mao Xiong.
Then, based on these 500 people, the Anti-Japanese Forces basically absorbed the Chinese people in Maoxiong and expanded it to more than 1,300 people.
Mao Xiong organized this unit into the "Independent 88th Infantry Brigade of the Far East Military Region", with Zhou Baozhong as the brigade commander.
But although its designation is "Infantry Brigade", the actual training is for airborne troops and special forces.
The reason is that the Japanese Kwantung Army built a huge military fortress group and stationed heavy troops in the border area thousands of kilometers away... The Japanese called it a "copper wall and an iron wall" and considered it a line of defense no less than the Maginot Line in Gaul.
barrier.
This is one of the reasons why Wang Xuexin believes that his interspersed plan can be implemented: Although the Japanese Kwantung Army has more than 200,000 troops, most of them are deployed inside the junction and are very empty. If the Eighth Route Army invades an army from the interior to the northeast,
The unexpected troops will definitely cause chaos in the enemy's position.
The Japs were so tightly guarded at the junction that Commander Mao Xiong believed that it would be very difficult to penetrate the Japs' defense line from the ground, and even if they did, they would have to pay a heavy price.
In addition, the Anti-Alliance Forces are both Chinese and Japanese, and Asian faces are very suitable for disguise. Therefore, Mao Xiong’s definition of the "88th Infantry Brigade", which is the Anti-Alliance Forces, is: once fighting the Japanese, the 88th Infantry Brigade needs
Airdropped to the hinterland of Northeast China immediately to carry out work behind enemy lines.
Under this guidance, the 88th Infantry Brigade's training includes: skiing, swimming, surveying and mapping, photography, radio, cliff climbing, mobilization behind enemy lines and other special subjects.
It should be said that Mao Xiong’s consideration is correct.
The 88th Infantry Brigade only has 1,300 troops. What role can they play on the frontal battlefield?
But if they were spread like beans to every corner of the Northeast during wartime, and then they were used as the spark to organize guerrilla groups to carry out intelligence and special activities, the effect would be great.
And this is exactly what Wang Xuexin wants... Mao Xiong's strategic goal happens to be consistent with Wang Xuexin's strategic goal. Mao Xiong almost paved the way for Wang Xuexin.
Therefore, Lai Menluokov said to Wang Xuexin with some regret: "Comrade Commander, although this army only has more than a thousand people, they are well-trained. I hope you can make good use of this army. If... it's just
To reduce the pressure on your frontal battlefield by attacking the enemy's logistics is overkill!"
This is actually one of the reasons why Mao Xiong has been unwilling to hand over the anti-alliance troops.
You must know that these 1,300 people were trained as special forces by Mao Xiong with huge investment, but the Eighth Route Army only used these special forces to blow up railways...
Wang Xuexin smiled and replied: "I understand, come to Comrade Menlokov, I know how to use them!"
Laimeng Luokov said: "If you don't know how to command, we can do it for you temporarily..."
"No!" Wang Xuexin flatly rejected Monrokov's "kindness".
If it is still commanded by Mao Xiong, not only will it be unable to cooperate with the Eighth Route Army in operations, but it will also cause many problems, such as whether the combat operations are kept confidential, command conflicts, etc.
Wang Xuexin would never make this mistake, so he emphasized again: "Let me reiterate, Comrade Menlokov, they are Chinese and are Chinese troops. Although you have provided equipment and training, it is only for you and me.
interests. I have given you valuable information for exchange. If you still want to interfere in the command between our army and the anti-alliance forces, I will consider severing all contact with Mao Xiong!"
"No, no, that's not what I meant!" Lai Menluokov panicked.
Of course he did not dare to take this risk, because he knew that not long ago, Yingjiang had a tank transaction with the Eighth Route Army.
If tanks can be traded, that means everything can be traded.
Therefore, the Eighth Route Army can indeed cut off contact with Mao Xiong.
Laimenluokov explained: "I'm just worried... you know, there will be deviations between your command and the training of the troops!"

"Thank you!" Wang Xuexin replied: "But this is our business!"
Facts have proved that Monrokov's worries were unnecessary. Wang Xuexin knew very well what kind of force this anti-alliance force trained in Mao Xiong was.
Laimeng Luokov noticed this when he was discussing with Wang Xuexin how to deploy the anti-alliance troops.
"I plan to disperse these 1,300 people in platoon units!" Wang Xuexin said.
"In platoons?" Laimeng Luokov raised his head and looked at Wang Xuexin in surprise.
There are only about thirty people in a platoon, and any Japanese armed force, including the puppet army, can easily surround and annihilate them.
"Yes!" Wang Xuexin replied: "They carry no equipment, or they only carry pistols, radios and some necessary light equipment. They bury the equipment immediately after airborne, and then disguise themselves as civilians or puppet troops and sneak into various cities!"
At this point, Wang Xuexin stopped talking. There was no need to tell Monrokov about the next battle plan.
But after thinking about it, Menlokov also understood what Wang Xuexin wanted to do.
Wang Xuexin raised his head and asked: "Comrade Menlokov, if I use it like this, it won't be a waste for them, right?"
"No, no, of course!" Laimenluokov replied hurriedly.
Obviously, Wang Xuexin also used the Anti-Alliance Forces as intelligence forces and special forces, which was completely in line with the training of the Anti-Alliance Forces.
Suddenly, Laimeng Luokov realized something. He raised his head and looked at Wang Xuexin in shock.
If the Eighth Route Army wants to deploy this anti-alliance force in the Northeast, does that mean...
