"The problem lies with these mountain cannons!" The division commander's face suddenly became solemn.
"Sixteen mountain field guns, plus the thousands of rounds of artillery shells we have hoarded in Liulin, are in the hands of the Eighth Route Army and can pose a very deadly threat to us anytime and anywhere..."
"There are still seven or eight hours before dark, and the aviation force can still be dispatched for at least six hours. We must use these six hours to find these sixteen artillery pieces, and then dispatch bombers to blow them up!"
"This kind of heavy weapon with the ability to siege cities must not be in the hands of the Eighth Route Army. Otherwise, the gun towers and strongholds we built around the Eighth Route Army base area will be like paper and useless!"
"I will send a telegram to the Liulin garrison soon and ask them to send out all the scouts to look for these artillery pieces~"
"They used these artillery pieces at the cliff mouth stronghold a few hours ago. The artillery pieces were so heavy that they definitely couldn't move too far!"
"Also, send more Imperial Army soldiers out. The Imperial Army soldiers are familiar with the terrain and are Chinese, so they can better avoid the Eighth Route Army patrols and guard posts!"
"The intelligence agencies must also take action and find these artillery pieces at all costs!"
"Hey! I'll go and give the order immediately!" As soon as the division commander finished giving the order, the chief of staff arranged for the deputy behind him to give the order.
Seeing the deputy chief of staff leaving, the division commander continued to give the order: "It is only our first step to keep the strongholds and traffic arteries intact!"
"This time, the Eighth Route Army's losses are definitely not small. However, with the materials they robbed from Liulin, they can not only quickly regain their strength, but also develop further and become a more difficult opponent for us."
"In order to prevent this from happening, I decided to take this opportunity to launch a spring raid on the Suide Military District of the Eighth Route Army to completely eliminate them, or at least to inflict heavy damage on them, so that our troops can threaten Yan'an. You know, this is also
The front army has given our division a task this year!"
"So, I decided to send our mobile regiment, the artillery regiment and the field artillery regiment, the directly subordinate cavalry regiment, and the baggage regiment to two brigades, carrying two months of combat supplies, to kill at Liulin, and directly attack the Eighth Route Army Sui
The German military area launches an attack and decides quickly, without giving them time to prepare!"
"Including the remaining garrison in Liulin and an infantry brigade on the way, our offensive force has five infantry brigades, a field artillery brigade, and a cavalry regiment, with a total strength of more than 7,000 people!"
"In addition, another brigade of more than 3,000 Imperial Army troops will be deployed to cooperate with our actions!"
"As far as I know, the total strength of the Eighth Route Army in the Suide Military District is only more than 10,000, and its equipment is the worst among all the Eighth Route Army units. If we also use 10,000 troops to kill them, we will definitely beat them to pieces~"
At the station of the Second Regiment of the Suide Military Region, a call back from Yan'an has arrived, requiring the Suide Military Region to ensure the safety of all supplies and ammunition, and wait until Yan'an determines the distribution plan before sending these supplies to various places.
Commander Wang was in a very good mood. The food shortage problem in the military region was not only solved, but a large amount of equipment was also seized.
The commander-in-chief's reply just now made it clear. Except for the food, funds, and ammunition that need to be handed over to Yan'an, the rest will be left in the Suide Military Region, including the sixteen mountain field guns brought back by Wang Ping.
After all, the troops left behind in Yan'an already have an artillery battalion sent by Wang Ping, and the frontline combat troops will definitely need these artillery even more.
Just when Commander Wang had a smile on his face and began to plan in his mind whether to form two artillery battalions or one reinforced artillery battalion, the chief of staff of the second regiment hurriedly walked in.
"Captain, there's something going on!" He walked up to the regimental leader and whispered a few words, and then the second regimental commander's brows furrowed into a big "Sichuan" shape.
At the same time, Li Wen, who was directly under the team, also ran to Wang Ping and said something!
Commander Wang immediately asked: "Commander Zhou, Commander Wang, has something unexpected happened?"
Commander Zhou did not hesitate and immediately replied: "Yes, Commander..."
"The security force captured a Ergouzi nearby. According to the interrogation, they are looking for the sixteen mountain field guns that Commander Wang brought back from the Japanese hinterland!"
Wang Ping added immediately: "I also received some information here!"
"During the retreat, I left a combat team in the hinterland of the Japanese... I learned through the monitored phone calls that the Japanese army sent a large number of reconnaissance troops and puppet troops into our controlled area to look for those sixteen artillery pieces!"
"When you find it, send a signal to guide their aviation to destroy the artillery we just captured!"
"In addition, they also overheard a piece of intelligence: The Japanese have just issued an order to the frontline troops, requiring all frontline troops to retreat back, abandon all gun towers and positions, and rely on several strongholds to hold on. There will be an infantry brigade tonight.
Rush to the front lines to reinforce them!"
"I understand that we have just captured their sixteen artillery pieces. The mountain artillery is very powerful, and there are sixteen of them. With them, it will not be a problem for us to attack the county towns defended by the Japanese, let alone ordinary strongholds and gun towers. So.
, As long as possible, the Japanese will never let us have such a big killer!" the chief of staff analyzed with a frown.
"However, I don't understand the Japanese's move to order the frontline troops to retreat in full and hold on to their strongholds!"
"We won't attack them during the day. After dark, a large group of their reinforcements will arrive. With this infantry group, the defense line that is still full of gaps will suddenly become impregnable, and we will be even less likely to attack them.
, died in vain!”
Commander Wang obviously wanted to think more comprehensively, frowning and objecting: "No, there may seem to be a lot of Japanese in one brigade, but for the entire defense line, it is still a drop in the bucket!"
"Chief of Staff, please don't forget that in the past few days, we have killed nearly 3,000 Japanese troops stationed in Liulin, and there are also more than 1,000 puppet troops."
"How can it be possible for the troops that lost nearly 4,000 people to replenish 1,000 people!"
"Also, their artillery is gone, so they have no advantage in front of us!"
"The reason why they are in a hurry to retreat and hold on to their strongholds is because they are worried that we will take this opportunity and continue to attack them tonight, taking advantage of their lack of strength to consume hundreds or thousands of them. In this case, they will send over an infantry brigade.
It’s all for nothing!”
The chief of staff immediately reacted and replied with a look of enlightenment: "It's true~ But now that the Japanese have retreated, our chance to continue to consume them will be gone!"
"The little devil is so cunning..."
"There is still a chance, it depends on whether we can seize it!"
Commander Wang shook his head and replied, his face slowly becoming hotter.
The commander of the second regiment next to him had very good eyesight. He immediately saw that there was a battle to be fought, and then looked at Commander Wang and asked.
"Commander, are you going to fight the Japs again? Now the troops have enough ammunition, everyone is well fed, their morale is high, and they are ready to join the battle at any time!"
"Order: Each of the four main regiments on the front line will allocate a battalion of troops, and attack them separately in companies and platoons. After the Japanese and puppet troops withdraw from the artillery positions, divide the troops into multiple groups to sneak attack them and attack them~"
"Warning to the commanders of the regiments, there are Jaap planes above our heads. The troops sent out must not be too many, and they must be dispersed during operations!"
The chief of staff immediately replied: "As long as we seize the opportunity, these troops will definitely be able to kill a lot of Japanese and puppet troops. Add up a little and add up to a big gain. The entire defense line adds up to a big gain. I will give the order now!"
