"No, there is still a chance!" Commander Wang replied in surprise.
"We don't need to open a breakthrough in the Japanese defense line. We just need to launch a full-scale attack, give the Japanese and puppet troops a posture of counterattack, and drag all 4,000 Japanese and puppet troops to the position!"
"What about Liulin County? Without a breakthrough, our troops will not be able to enter the enemy's hinterland, and we will not be able to capture Liulin County!" the chief of staff asked with a frown.
"To open a breakthrough is to send the main force into the hinterland of the Japanese. If it is a small-scale elite force, when we launch a full-scale attack, we can easily sneak into the hinterland of the Japanese through the pull of the defense line!" Commander Wang analyzed.
The chief of staff continued to ask: "But, Commander... Even if we send a small group of troops into the hinterland of the Japanese, they will not be able to capture Liulin County~ You know, there are more than 500 Japanese in Liulin County alone, and there are still more than 500 Japanese in Liulin County."
There are more than 500 puppet troops. Even if we go up to a brigade, it will take a long time to take them down!"
"Also, even if they capture Liulin County, there are more than one million kilograms of grain and other supplies stored there. With fewer troops, it will be impossible to transport them back to the base!"
Commander Wang thought about it and replied: "Do you still remember Commander Wang and the special forces in his hands?"
"Most of the materials and ammunition he gave us were snatched from this stronghold. At first, this stronghold was guarding a reinforced squadron of Japanese soldiers. It only took them an hour to kill them, then capture the stronghold and take them away.
Got all the supplies.”
"If they are allowed to participate in this operation, maybe they can go deep into the enemy's hinterland alone, capture Liulin County, and then send the supplies back to our base!"
"In this way, you stay at the military region headquarters while I go to Yan'an. If you really want to ask Wang Ping to borrow troops, you still need the consent of the commander-in-chief!"
Wang Ping, who had just finished his special operations course, had just returned home when a staff officer from the headquarters rushed over.
"Commander Wang, the commander-in-chief requires you to rush to the headquarters as soon as possible. I have something important to ask you!"
"I'll go now!" Wang Ping replied immediately.
Following the staff all the way to the headquarters, Wang Ping saw Commander Wang guarding the commander-in-chief's office at a glance!
"Hello, Chief... Commander Wang, why are you here!"
"I'm here to see you!" the commander-in-chief replied with a smile on his face. Then he stared at Commander Wang and asked.
"Wang Beard, as long as your proposal Wang Ping thinks it is feasible, I will agree to your plan and let Wang Ping participate in your plan! You can repeat your plan first, and we will discuss the feasibility of the entire combat plan.
sex!"
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief!" Commander Wang replied immediately, and then compared the map, he stated his thoughts directly to the point at the Suide Military Region Headquarters.
After finishing speaking, the commander-in-chief added: "If more than one million kilograms of grain can be seized, not only will the food shortage problem in the Suide Military Region be solved, but some of the grain will also be allocated to support the troops left behind in Yan'an...
You don’t know that the several garrison regiments left behind in Yan’an are almost out of food. Although they are not large in number, they still use tens of thousands of kilograms of food a month. Yesterday, you, Minister Li, were still applying to me whether I should use you.
Bring emergency food for emergency use!"
"That food must not be touched!" Wang Ping blurted out.
"That food can only be used when times are really difficult. It cannot be used now!"
The commander-in-chief asked: "When it is really difficult...Wang Ping, you mean that now is not the difficult time!"
Before Wang Ping could speak, Commander Wang next to him replied solemnly: "Commander-in-Chief, the most difficult time is indeed not yet reached!"
"There is now more and more evidence that a large-scale drought is likely to break out this year... If the weather continues to be so bad, Commander Wang's original judgment is 80% likely to come true."
"Drought means poor harvests on the land. The land in the border areas is already very barren. If the harvests continue to be poor, the limited output may not even be able to feed the local people, let alone our army!"
"So, now is definitely not the most difficult time!"
Wang Ping said: "Commander Wang is right, as long as there is still a chance to get food, the 100,000 kilograms of emergency food cannot be moved!"
The commander-in-chief's brows suddenly furrowed into a big "Sichuan" sign: "In this case, whether it is for a multi-person unit of the Suide Army Division or for several guard regiments in Yan'an, we will seize the supplies and food in Liulin County.
"
After saying that, the commander-in-chief turned his attention to Wang Ping: "Wang Huzhu just informed you of the situation, how about it? Do you think Wang Huzhu's plan is feasible? Do you have the courage to rush into the hinterland of the Japanese and capture Liulin County?
, and then transport all the captured materials back to the defense zone!"
Wang Ping stared at the map for five minutes before replying: "It's worth a try! However, the entire operation requires the deployment of two brigades from the Suide Military Region for close coordination!"
Seeing Commander Wang's brows frowning subconsciously, Wang Ping quickly explained: "Commander Wang, don't worry, the troops of the two brigades are just cooperating in actions, not confronting the Japs head-on. Although they will fight many battles with the Japs, basically
They are all feints and bluffs. Although there are strong attacks, they are definitely not too many!"
Commander Wang obviously breathed a sigh of relief, and then replied with an embarrassed look: "Commander Wang, your vision is indeed very vicious. What you are most worried about is that there will be too many casualties among the troops in this operation!"
"The four thousand elites of the Japanese and puppet troops stationed on the front line are all solid, well-equipped, and have sufficient ammunition. There is also a mixed mountain and field artillery brigade to provide them with artillery support."
"If the casualties of the troops are too great, and the Japanese find out that we have robbed their logistics supplies and retaliate against us, the garrison area will definitely not be able to withstand the desperate Japanese attack. Then the base area will be in danger, and it may even spread to Yan'an!"
"So, the casualties of the troops must not be too great. For these supplies and food, the maximum casualties I can bear is one regiment!"
"Mountain and field artillery mixed brigade!" Wang Ping immediately became interested.
His fighting style has always been to first kill the Japanese and puppet troops' logistical equipment, then the artillery, and finally deal with the infantry to maximize the benefits of a battle.
If we turn against the enemy, we will not only pay a greater price, but the Japanese may also destroy all the remaining baggage and artillery at the last moment.
In this case, at the end of a battle, you will get nothing, and your efforts will be in vain.
The Commander-in-Chief and Commander Wang did not know that Wang Ping had already targeted the Guizishan Field Artillery Battalion, which he had never thought of.
Seeing that Wang Ping was interested, he answered patiently.
"Yes, a whole brigade of mountain artillery, two mountain artillery squadrons, two field artillery brigades, a total of eight mountain artillery, eight field artillery!"
"In addition, the two Japanese infantry brigades on the front line are also equipped with two squads of four infantry cannons, and two squadrons of eighteen mortars..."
"Infantry artillery and mortars are assigned to infantry operations, and mountain artillery and field artillery are concentrated in the rear. As the enemy's heavy firepower unit, they can go to the battlefield at any time to reinforce the infantry!"
The interest on Wang Ping's face became more intense, and he continued to ask: "In other words, these sixteen mountain field guns and their infantry are not together..."
"I just heard your introduction, Chief, that the total strength of the Japanese and puppet troops in this area is less than 6,000. Excluding the 4,000 at the front and the 1,000 in Liulin County, this mixed artillery brigade only has 1,000 people, including
Artillery of five to six hundred men!"
Commander Wang replied with approval: "Your analysis is good!"
"Because this mixed brigade is in the rear of the Japanese army, the Japanese are not worried about their safety. The entire brigade is stationed on the only road between the county town and the front line, which is here. There are four artillery squadrons, more than 500 artillerymen, and an infantryman.
The squadron’s guard force is less than two hundred Japanese infantrymen!”
