The chief of staff directly scolded with a calm face: "Commander, the little devils are so cunning! They must have calculated accurately that we would attack, and then deliberately arranged an elite force to hang behind. If we didn't know about this Japanese and puppet army,
If the entire regiment is pressed into action in an ambush, the Japanese and puppet troops will attack us directly from behind and stab us in the back. By then, no matter how lucky we are, we will suffer heavy losses!"
"It's possible to leave the troops here. After all, the proportion of captured puppet troops in our main force is too good, and the proportion of new recruits is also too good. As long as something unexpected happens in the battle situation, these new recruits will definitely not be able to hold on for long!" Wang Ping
He also said with a gloomy face and a heavy tone!
When Zeng Quan frowned and thought about the solution with a worried look on his face, Wang Ping changed the subject and said.
"But, Chief of Staff, don't worry too much!"
"Now that we know the Japs' conspiracy, it will be much easier to handle. We only need to see the tricks to defeat the Japs' plot!"
Zeng Quan still had a worried expression on his face and continued to remind: "But, regimental commander, after all, these are two Japs who strengthened the squadron. They are also equipped with a large number of mortars and infantry artillery, and they are so close to each other. Once one
If one unit is attacked, another unit will definitely reinforce it immediately!"
"As you just said, our independent regiment has many captives and recruits. Once they are attacked from both sides, the fighting courage of those captives and recruits will definitely collapse instantly. By then, it is impossible for only a few hundred veterans to be a single soldier.
The opponent of the puppet army for more than a thousand days!"
The heavy expression on Wang Ping's face disappeared at this time, and he answered confidently: "Then we won't let these two Japanese and puppet armies come together."
"Didn't we bring an extra battalion? Just in time, let this battalion be used to block the attack, and the remaining two battalions will be used to ambush!"
Zeng Quan immediately fell into deep thought, and after thinking for nearly a minute, he analyzed: "There are about 600 people in our battalion. Our strength is not much different from that of the Japanese and puppet troops, but the equipment is slightly worse, but there will definitely be no problem in blocking the attack. I infer
, there will definitely not be much problem in blocking them for two hours!"
"That's enough. Two main battalions have been ambushing the puppet troops for more than 600 days. If the battle can't be ended in two hours, then the good equipment I gave to the troops will be in vain!" At this time, Wang Ping's face was already shrouded in worry.
Wearing a thick confident smile.
After thinking about it, he ordered with a serious face.
"I decided to change the battle plan. I took one, two or two battalions to ambush the Japanese follow-up troops, but I had to detach a company to keep vigilance in the direction of the county. During the ambush battle, once the Japanese soldiers in Laiyuan City were dispatched, they must find a way to slow them down for at least three seconds.
Hours!"
Zeng Quan affirmed: "There should be no problem with this, unless the Japs use cars to transport troops or send out cavalry. If they rely only on their legs, it will take three hours to march. If they use cars, this company only needs to destroy the road.
Got it!"
"The cavalry is a little more troublesome, but it is not without a solution. We can slow down their march by destroying the road, and we can also rely on ambushes on the hills along the way to stop them alive. The cavalry is good at assaulting on the ground. In such mountainous and hilly areas, there are limitations.
It’s very sexy, and it doesn’t carry heavy weapons!”
Wang Ping continued to order: "Chief of Staff, take the third battalion and insert it between the two Japanese and puppet troops. After the battle begins, stop the Japanese from returning to support their follow-up troops at all costs."
"No, Captain, aren't we going to ambush the Japs in front? Why did we change it to ambush the Japs in the back?"
"The Japs behind have almost no losses, and they are better equipped and have infantry artillery. They will definitely be more difficult to fight! I reserve my opinion and still hope to ambush the Japs in front and pick the weak ones, so as to minimize the risk!"
"No, we can only fight the Japanese behind! Otherwise the risk of the whole ambush battle will be even greater!" Wang Ping said firmly, without any tone of discussion in his words.
Zeng Quan didn't understand very much and stared at Wang Ping with a frown, as if Wang Ping would firmly object without explanation.
"You just said that the Japanese soldiers behind are better equipped, and they are also equipped with infantry artillery. You don't know that the range of infantry artillery is more than two kilometers. Even if you can block the Japanese and puppet infantry, you can't stop them from shelling with infantry artillery.
Our ambush position!"
"Veterans are afraid of machine guns, and recruits are afraid of cannons. This is an old saying in the army. If the Japanese were to drop artillery shells in the middle of our ambush troops, I am sure that the recruits in the troops would collapse because they could not hold on. Once the recruits collapsed, the troops would collapse.
The captured soldiers in the battle will definitely collapse, and when the time comes, the ambush battle will be abandoned halfway!"
"Also, an ambush is a close-contact battle. Even if the enemy is equipped with infantry artillery, I can render them useless. As for twice the number of machine guns and grenade launchers, the same is true. Don't forget, I still have a
There are a dozen sharpshooters in the sniper squad. With them taking action, the machine guns and grenade launchers equipped by the Japanese will definitely have no chance of firing!"
Only then did Zeng Quan show an expression of realization, and then replied helplessly: "It seems that this is the only way to fight!"
"In this case, the pressure on my side will be much less. I have seen the combat effectiveness of the reconnaissance platoon. With them moving around, this group of Japanese and puppet troops will be beaten to pieces even if they don't die!"
Wang Ping spoke again at this time, and his words were astonishing as soon as he spoke!
"Chief of Staff, don't worry too much. If this battle is fought well, maybe we can give these two Japanese and puppet troops a big contract!"
"Dabaogan, commander, don't scare me. These are more than 1,200 Japanese puppet troops. The Japanese army alone has more than 600 people. Don't eat them. If we knock our teeth out, the gain will not be worth the loss."
It's over!" Zeng Quan's face just looked a little brighter, and then he was covered with worry again, and then he stared at Wang Ping and reminded.
"I still understand how much rice goes into the pot, so don't worry, Chief of Staff!" Wang Ping consoled him.
Then without saying anything else, he directly gave the order: "Inform the troops to speed up their march, and we will divide our troops when we approach the battlefield!"
"First give the Japanese and puppet troops in Laiyuan City a warning and let them get to know our independent regiment again. This way they will become more cautious and we will have more time to prepare."
Laiyuan City Japanese Army Headquarters, although the Japanese army abandoned all strongholds outside the city more than ten days ago, the Japanese intelligence network outside the city has not given up, and has been strengthened.
Nearly two thousand members of the Independent Regiment marched vigorously and hurriedly in broad daylight. It was impossible to hide the traitors who were working for the Japanese.
Therefore, less than three hours after the independent group set off, Ono received relevant information.
"Your Excellency, General, the Eighth Route Army has been fooled. The more than two thousand well-equipped Eighth Route Army must be their main force!" the chief of staff complimented with excitement on his face.
Unfortunately, all kinds of compliments came from the small headquarters.
Major General Ono's face was already full of smiles at this time, but after suffering several losses from the Eighth Route Army, when facing the Eighth Route Army, as long as he did not reach the last step, he always maintained a trace of caution in his heart.
No one knows that behind the smile on his face, Major General Ono is thinking about which of his troops the Independent Regiment will attack!
Ono very much hoped that the Eighth Route Army would pick on the weak and hit him to lure the enemy troops. In this case, his well-equipped follow-up troops would insert a sharp knife into the rear of the Eighth Route Army and deal a fatal blow to the Eighth Route Army.
In that case, the Imperial Army could destroy the Eighth Route Army at a very small cost.
