Huang Shouxin finally concluded: "So I estimate that the Japanese will send out at most one brigade."
Xu Rui couldn't help but applaud. Huang Shouxin's analysis was well-organized and his arguments were clear, and the conclusion he reached was basically the same as his estimate. Xu Rui also basically judged that the Japanese raids on the Dameishan base area after the Huaihe Battle were insufficient.
It will be more, but it will never be less. It will be roughly around an infantry brigade.
"Not bad, there is progress." Xu Rui also praised.
Huang Shouxin saluted Xu Rui with a military salute, his face slightly red.
As a recruit who had just joined the army for less than three months, and as a cadet in the youth training team, Huang Shouxin worshiped Xu Rui to the core because Xu Rui opened a window for him.
He came into contact with a whole new world, a world that he could not even dream of before.
Huang Shouxin thought about joining the army, thinking that he would be a good person in the army, but he never thought that as soon as he entered the army, he would meet an officer like Xu Rui. He knew almost everything, was good at commanding, and was precise.
With regard to various special operations techniques, various classic combat examples in the world can be easily recited, and the profound military knowledge is simply astonishing.
However, Huang Shouxin's thoughts were quickly interrupted by the noise of the officers attending the meeting.
"A brigade?" Heipi curled his lips and said disdainfully, "Isn't a brigade just a detachment? Aren't the little devils afraid of being beaten?"
"Let the devils come, I'm still afraid that he won't come."
"Just one brigade? I thought a division would be transferred."
"Just one brigade is not enough to fill the teeth of our independent brigade."
"It's just a tour group. It's too small and not enough."
Others like Li Hai, Cui Jiu, Niu Dazhuang, Xu Dekun and others also echoed.
If the Japs only come to an infantry brigade, these officers will not be afraid, because first in Wuxi and later in Hai'an, their independent brigade has wiped out or severely damaged two detachments of the Japs. If the Japs send another detachment this time,
Come here, isn't it just to give their independent brigade military exploits?
Leng Tiefeng turned his head and glanced at Xu Rui.
Others don't know it, but Leng Tiefeng knows it. The reason why the Chongteng detachment was able to be completely wiped out in the Battle of Nantong was actually because there were too many favorable factors. For example, the terrain of the river beach blocked the Japs' crossing the river, and the bad weather prevented the Japs from crossing the river.
The aviation force was unable to participate in the battle. For example, the independent battalion happened to have enough heavy machine gun firepower at that time, and there happened to be a reverse slope position on the mud hill by the river, which could be used to build a heavy machine gun position.
In addition, Chiaki Shigeto's pride was also an important cause of defeat.
If Shigeto Chiaki hadn't underestimated the enemy, how could he have left only one squadron behind?
If any of these favorable factors are not met, the result will be reversed immediately. Do you really think that the total annihilation of the Chongteng detachment was due to the combat effectiveness of the independent battalion? That’s all for those who don’t know the details. But as an insider who knows the details, Leng Tiefeng
But they will never ignorantly think that this is the true combat power of the independent battalion.
As for the shocking battle in Haian Town, it was even more of a fluke.
If it hadn't been for the heavy fog at night, and the fact that Lao Xu happened to know Japanese and used the Japs' passwords and radio to instigate the Japs to kill each other, Lao Xu would never have been able to inflict heavy damage on his own even if he was a god.
Half of the Japs' regiment, such a fluke, can only happen once and never again.
As a commander, it would be foolish to place all your hopes on luck.
Xu Rui's brows also frowned inadvertently. People can't be arrogant, but they can't be arrogant. In fact, an army is the same, and it can't be arrogant. But these officers of the independent brigade, because of consecutive battles and consecutive victories,
They already have a hint of arrogance. Xu Rui wants them to be confident, but he never wants them to be arrogant.
Xu Rui's face darkened at that moment, and Leng Sensen said: "Do you really think that the Japs are paper? In the battle of Nantong, we were able to annihilate the Japs' Chongteng detachment. That was because of many coincidences. If it weren't for Chongteng underestimating the enemy,
If it weren’t for the fact that the Japanese counterattack coincided with the ebb tide, or if it wasn’t for the bad weather that prevented the Japanese air force from participating in the battle, how could the several hundred remaining soldiers in the independent camp want to defeat the Chongteng detachment? Just dream!”
The dozen or so officers present at the meeting closed their mouths one after another, looking a little embarrassed on their faces.
Xu Rui continued: "I said that among these conditions, as long as one of them is not met, the Independent Battalion will be chewed up by the Chongteng Detachment until there is not even the slightest bit left. There is also the battle of Hai'an Town. This battle is between me and
It was fought by two veterans. How dangerous and lucky this battle was, I know better than you."
At this time, the expressions of the dozen or so officers present at the meeting finally turned serious.
Because they heard that Xu Rui was really angry, not just making a gesture.
Looking around the conference room with cold eyes, Xu Rui continued: "If you face the upcoming mopping up operations with this mentality, then I can responsibly tell you that the independent brigade will not even have a chance.
No, we will be easily defeated by the Japanese, and not only will the base be unable to hold, but the troops will also be destroyed!"
Leng Tiefeng lost no time in interjecting: "Don't think that Lao Xu is alarmist. If the little devil is really so vulnerable, how can he occupy the Northeast, how can he occupy the vast Chinese territory of North and East China? How can he possibly occupy the vast Chinese territory of North and East China?
Xinkou defeated 30 divisions of the Central Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army with only half a division?"
Xu Rui said sternly: "You should always remember that strategically we must despise the enemy as much as possible, but tactically we must pay as much attention to the enemy as possible. Even if the Japanese only mobilize an infantry squadron, we must use all our forces."
Resources, mobilize all manpower, and be fully prepared! You always remember that the Japanese can afford to lose, but the independent brigade cannot afford to lose. We only need to lose once, and everything will be over!"
The dozen or so officers present at the meeting finally calmed down.
The atmosphere in the conference room also became serious.
Seeing that the officers present at the meeting no longer wanted to underestimate the enemy, Xu Ruicai went on to say: "According to the trustworthy analysis just now, the size of the Japs's raid is about a brigade, that is, an independent detachment. Let's discuss it now.
How to prepare to resist the enemy and how to deal with the incoming Japanese invaders?"
Heipi said carelessly: "Soldiers will come to block it, water will come and the soil will flood us, let's fight!"
"That won't work." Xu Rui said coldly, "You are called reckless. We don't have the strength yet."
Li Hai pondered for a moment and then said: "If we can't fight hard, then we will retreat to Damei Mountain and use the terrain of Qingfeng Ridge and Qingniu Ridge to fight guerrillas against the Japanese. I don't believe that the Japanese are more familiar with the terrain in the mountains than us?"
"
Upon hearing this, the Decepticon immediately shouted: "As long as we go to Qingniuling, I will ensure that the devils never come back."
"No way." Xu Rui said flatly, "Don't forget, we are not the only ones in the base area. If we just leave, what will happen to the people in the base area? Just throw them to the Japanese?"
Li Hai and the Decepticons immediately fell silent, and the other dozen officers lowered their heads one by one.
Wang Husheng, who had been sitting next to him and had not spoken, breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried that the Independent Brigade would leave after being slapped. When the time came, he, the secretary and county magistrate, could not just leave. He would be asked to take the county brigade and several district teams with him.
If you start a movie with little devils, aren't you driving them to a dead end? Fortunately, Xu Rui didn't agree.
At this time, a voice sounded inadvertently: "Then there are only two ways left."
Almost everyone raised their heads in unison and turned their gaze to the corner of the conference room. There are only two ways left? Only two ways left? Only?!
Two methods, only one left?!
Others can't think of a single solution, but you actually brazenly say that there are two other solutions, and your sister says that's the only one left? You are deliberately trying to piss people off, and you don't feel good if you don't make people look bad, right? That's cool, right?
Yes, you will die if you don’t brag? If you can tell the truth, I will wait and see how I will torture you to death.
The Siberian tiger was already rolling back his sleeves and looking unkind.
Under the gaze of more than a dozen pairs of eyes, Mei Jiuling still looked calm and composed.
"Jiuling, tell me, which two methods can be used?" Xu Rui cast an encouraging look at Mei Jiuling. Huang Shouxin had just given him a surprise, but he didn't know if Mei Jiuling would give him another one.
surprise?
Mei Jiuling stood up and saluted first, and then continued: "The first way is to keep the enemy out of the country. To put it simply, it is to use the Shaqiao pier position as the core and use the steep terrain of Shangshaqiao and Xiashaqiao to build a defensive fortress.
, I have researched and found that the terrain of Shaqiaogang is very favorable. As long as there is enough cement, it is no problem to build a fortress."
"Cement?" Xu Rui sighed, shook his head and said, "Tell me about your second method."
Mei Jiuling nodded and said: "The second method is to dig tunnels. I have conducted on-site surveys and found that the soil in the Dameishan Basin is mostly loess and black soil, which is conducive to digging tunnels. If the soil in the town and dozens of surrounding villages is combined,
Hundreds of thousands of men, women, and children are mobilized, and at least a thousand miles of tunnels can be dug in half a month."
"Authentic?" Xu Rui's eyes immediately lit up.
Because Xu Rui thought of plain guerrillas and tunnel warfare.
This is the wisdom of the working people. You can fight guerrillas in the mountains, you can fight guerrillas on the water, but in the plain terrain, there is no available terrain, what should you do? The smart working people turned their attention to the underground and thought of digging
Tunnels, with the help of cobweb-like tunnels, can also carry out guerrilla warfare on plain terrain.
More importantly, tunnels can also provide excellent cover for ordinary people.
When the devils come, all the people have to do is hide in the tunnels and they will be safe.
When the Japanese are gone and the people return to the ground, they will continue to do whatever they need to do.
Do you think the Japanese will not stay here all the time? If the Japanese have such determination and perseverance, then the Dameishan Independent Brigade will not be aggressive, and will they not be able to play dirty tricks?
