"Captain, the military region forwards an urgent message to the headquarters!" Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong rushed into the war room and stared at Wang Ping to report, with a dumbfounded and shocked expression on his face.
Wang Ping only told the political commissar and Zhong Chenggong that the Japanese army might abandon Shanxi and move northward.
Zhong Chenggong had the same idea as Huang Yuanqiang at the beginning, thinking that this conjecture was too bold and almost impossible to realize.
The telegram from the headquarters in his hand directly told him that Wang Ping's judgment was correct.
The headquarters' judgment was based on the intelligence provided by insiders in the World War II area. However, Wang Ping, the regiment leader in front of him, made this bold guess based only on the analysis of the battle situation without any intelligence support, and he guessed correctly. It can be seen that
How powerful his strategy and vision are.
Just when Zhong Chenggong stared blankly at Wang Ping without saying anything, Huang Yuanqiang next to him became anxious and couldn't help but ask: "Headquarters gave us a telegram from the new regiment? Is there something big going to happen?"
Zhong Chenggong suddenly reacted: "Yes, political commissar, the regiment leader's original guess and judgment were correct!"
"Headquarters reported that the Japanese and puppet troops in southwestern Shanxi are likely to head north to Taiyue immediately, and ordered us to hold them back for half a month at all costs!"
"There is also the Jinsui Army. The headquarters has judged that the Jinsui Army has probably reached some kind of deal with the Japanese. When the Japanese army withdraws from southwestern Shanxi, they will take over all Japanese-occupied areas and directly border our base areas!"
"The headquarters judges that the Jinsui Army will definitely use various means to seize our base area. We are required to try our best to ensure that the base area is not lost without destroying the united front or firing the first shot first!"
After listening to the report, Wang Ping looked very calm.
This result was already within his expectation, and he had been thinking about how to solve this problem since half a month ago!
Completely constrained by various rules, we must defend the base area and prevent the Jinsui Army from entering the base area.
As for the task of preventing the enemy from moving north, Wang Ping didn't take it seriously.
Although the Japanese and puppet troops heading north were large in force, well-equipped, and powerful in combat effectiveness.
However, they have a very fatal drawback: the troops are equipped with too many heavy weapons!
Forty heavy artillery pieces, twelve large-caliber mountain artillery pieces, and thirty-six field artillery pieces all need to be taken by road to leave southwestern Shanxi.
As long as you completely destroy the road that the Japanese army uses to go north, you can delay them for at least ten days just by building the road.
Political Commissar Huang Yuanqiang showed the same shocked expression as the Chief of Staff, and then stared at Wang Ping with a pair of big eyes, as if Wang Ping was not a human but a god!
"You don't have to look at me like that! I've already told you the reason for making this judgment. It's not just a guess, it's well-founded!" Wang Ping answered as the two people looked at him.
Then he ordered without waiting for the two people to speak: "Political Commissar, Chief of Staff, we have three things to do now!"
"First, mobilize the intelligence department to closely monitor every move of the Japanese puppet troops and the Shanxi-Sui Army in southwestern Shanxi, and report any situation immediately!"
"The direct team was divided into two, and entered the Japs-occupied area and the World War II area respectively, and together with the intelligence department, monitored their every move. If there are really any ulterior secrets between the Japanese army and the Jinsui Army, report it to me and think about it later
Find a way to destroy it!"
"The second thing the political commissar has to do is that the Japanese army can only take this road from southwestern Shanxi, pass Linfen, and then go directly north. Otherwise, the little devils can only blow up the seventy or eighty heavy artillery they are equipped with and throw away all the baggage.
cart!"
"I ask you to clear out all the villages and towns within ten kilometers along the highway to ensure that during the march of the Japanese, no common people will be taken hostage by the Japanese to threaten us and cause unnecessary casualties!"
"At the same time, mobilize all the young men, guerrillas, and local troops along the route to stay. Once the Japanese army sets off, use the darkness to completely destroy the entire highway!"
"Chief of Staff, you have to do the third thing: count the strength, equipment, and ammunition of all the main forces in the regiment. At the same time, use our logistics reserves to ensure that all the main forces have two bases of ammunition!"
"The task given to us by the headquarters is to block the enemy's reinforcements for half a month, but my requirements are higher!"
"With more than 20,000 days of puppet troops, kill 10,000 of them at all costs. If possible, keep all the heavy artillery, mountain artillery, and field artillery equipped by the Japanese!"
"With more than 20,000 puppet troops, if they are allowed to attack Taiyue, even if the commander is well prepared, the pressure on the military region will be very high!"
"I agree!" Political Commissar Huang Yuanqiang hesitated and affirmed.
Then he analyzed: "Once these Japanese and puppet troops go south, our only opponent will be the Jinsui Army. Maybe this battle will become the last battle between our new regiment and the Japanese. Therefore, no matter how much we pay,
The price must be paid, we all have to fight this battle well!"
In the front line of the confrontation between the Jinsui Army and the Japanese and puppet troops in southwestern Shanxi, a clear phone ring suddenly rang at a regiment headquarters.
The group leader held the microphone to his ear for five minutes. During these five minutes, his expression changed as unpredictable as the changing weather.
When he put down the phone, the expression on the leader's face finally settled on surprise.
"Captain, what are your instructions from the top?" asked the deputy commander next to him.
"Order from the top: Let our whole regiment attack and capture the town occupied by the Japanese army on the opposite side!" the regiment leader replied with a wry smile.
"Is there any artillery support?" A look of solemnity flashed across the deputy commander's face and he asked anxiously.
"No!" the leader shook his head and replied.
"Not only were the artillery fire from the division headquarters and the military headquarters unable to provide us with artillery reinforcements, Shangfeng also issued a special order. In order to prevent the shelling from causing casualties to the people in the town, our mortar company could not be used. The entire attack could only be carried out with
Grenades, rifles, light and heavy machine guns!”
"What?" The solemn deputy leader suddenly became frightened, and then yelled.
"Asshole, some bastard's superior gave this order!"
"The Japs have built many bunkers and gun towers in the town. We don't need artillery to destroy those firepower points. Even if our entire regiment rushes up, it won't be enough for the Japs to kill them!"
"Captain, I refuse to carry out this order. This is simply asking my brothers to die!"
The commander of the regiment knew the situation of the Japanese troops on the opposite side better than anyone else.
When receiving this order, the group leader would subconsciously refute it.
However, before the words were spoken, Shangfeng's murderous order came from the receiver.
He hesitated and replied: "Shangfeng said that we can choose to refuse to execute the order. However, if we don't see us attacking within half an hour, Shangfeng will send a war supervision battalion over!"
"Whether we die in the hands of the Japs, fall on the charge, or die at the gunpoint of our own people, let us choose for ourselves on the summit!"
"Who have we offended? Shangfeng actually wants to kill us!" The chief of staff closed his eyes in pain, and then shouted with despair.
The regiment leader was also helpless and replied with a painful look on his face: "Order the troops and prepare to charge! Even if we die, we will die on the offensive road. We will never be deserters and die at the hands of the supervising team!"
