Wang Ping was surprised and shook his head and replied: "Old Zeng, don't be so confident first. This is a telegram just sent from the reconnaissance platoon. You read the telegram first, and then tell me what you think after reading it!"
"The Japs are reinforcing the Shangjie stronghold! Troops, even if they reinforce the Shangjie stronghold, they will not send puppet troops there. There is already a regiment of the Imperial Association Army in Shangjie. Having too many Imperial Association troops will not only fail to increase the combat effectiveness of the defenders, but will be counterproductive.
, affecting the Japanese military operations!" Zeng Quan frowned and shouted after just reading a few words.
"Don't rush to conclusions, keep reading!" Wang Ping continued shaking his head.
The contents of the telegram were quickly read, but Zeng Quan's brows not only did not relax, but instead furrowed deeper and deeper.
Then he asked in confusion: "Captain, what are the Japs doing? Reinforcements are coming. Why did they return to the county seat when they reached the Changjie stronghold!"
"You've achieved the goal of the Japanese if you can't figure it out!" Wang Ping said with an astonishing analysis.
"If we didn't know that the news about our attack on the Shangjie stronghold had been known to the Japanese army, we would have regarded this mobilization as an ordinary operation by the Japanese and puppet troops. If we should attack the Shangjie stronghold, we would still attack the Shangjie stronghold. After all, there are many people inside the stronghold.
The total strength of the Japanese and puppet troops has not increased, it is still more than 1,500 people!"
"If I were the commander, I would definitely do this! Commander, is there something wrong?" Zeng Quan affirmed readily.
Wang Ping criticized without hesitation: "If you really think so, Old Zeng, then I tell you, you will sacrifice as many people as you bring with you!"
"It is true that the total strength of the Japanese and puppet troops in the Shangjie stronghold has not increased, but I can be sure that the little devils gave us a good show of a golden cicada escaping from its shell. As soon as the Thousand Imperial Alliance troops entered and exited the Shangjie stronghold, they
The Thousand Emperors' Alliance Army has all been replaced by elite Japs!"
"How is it possible? The intelligence didn't mention it. How do you know, Captain? I don't believe it!" Zeng Quan shook his head and denied.
"I will send a telegram to the reconnaissance platoon right now: Platoon Commander Xu, please ask Chen Hu whether the Imperial Alliance troops who leave the city are generally shorter in height, and when they return to the city, are they generally taller? Chen Hu and the others are all
This is my first time as a scout, so I don’t pay attention to many details. However, on the battlefield, it is often the details that determine the outcome of the battle!"
Chen Hu called back in less than ten minutes. Not only did he confirm Wang Ping's problem, but he also sent a telegram to Wang Ping requesting punishment.
The shocked Zeng Quan couldn't help but ask: "Captain, do you have any evidence, and it is so far away from the battlefield, how did you know that the Japanese Jin Chan escaped from his shell and replaced all the Imperial Army with Japanese elites!"
"Analysis!" Wang Ping replied seriously.
"If you were the Japanese commander, would you send troops to do something meaningless at such a critical moment before the war!"
"I don't know what you think, but I tell you, if I were the commander of the Japanese army and knew that our independent regiment was going all out to attack Shangjie, I would definitely decorate Shangjie into the tomb of our independent regiment, and use this opportunity to attack all the independent regiments.
Annihilate our independent group in the streets."
"If you want to completely annihilate us, the most common and simplest way is to first consume a large number of our troops through defense, and then use internal and external pincer attacks to annihilate us all around Shangjie! It is obvious that the puppet troops occupy most of the Shangjie strongholds.
This cannot be done, after all, our independent regiment is equipped with a large number of mortars, heavy machine guns, and even two infantry guns."
"But it would be possible if all the Imperial Army were replaced by Japanese soldiers."
"Blatantly reinforcing Shangjie or replacing the puppet troops on Shangjie with Japanese soldiers will definitely not escape the eyes of our reconnaissance troops. Think about it, if our ultimate goal is to attack the Shangjie stronghold, we will continue to attack after knowing this news
!"
"We will definitely give up attacking the Shangjie stronghold. Although our independent regiment's equipment is better than that of our brother troops, it still cannot fight a war of attrition!" Cheng Xiao replied with a frown.
"In this case, the Japanese army will lose the opportunity to eliminate us at the Shangjie stronghold!" Wang Ping replied.
Zeng Quan quickly showed an expression of enlightenment, and then said: "I understand, the Japanese did not want to lose the opportunity to annihilate us at the Shangjie stronghold, but also wanted to increase the strength of the Shangjie stronghold, so they thought of the golden cicada's escape!
"
"This analysis is really true!" Cheng Xiao also showed an expression of sudden realization.
Wang Ping continued his analysis: "The greatly increased strength of the Shangjie stronghold is only one difficulty you have to face, Chief of Staff. There is another difficulty!"
"If the Japanese army wants to annihilate us all at the Shangjie stronghold, they must send new reinforcements from the city to block our retreat. Otherwise, no matter how many troops the Japanese army accumulates at the Shangjie stronghold, they will never be able to annihilate us!"
"So, when you get to Shangjie, you not only have to attack the Shangjie stronghold, but in front of more than a thousand elite Japanese troops, you must establish a regiment's posture with minimal casualties. At the same time, you also have to seize the fighting opportunity and take advantage of the Japanese army to encircle the Shangjie stronghold.
, quickly withdraw from the battlefield!"
Although the task was arduous, Zeng Quan still replied with a serious face: "Please rest assured, captain, and I promise to complete the task!"
Then he stared at Wang Ping and asked: "What about you? I'm going to attack the Shangjie stronghold, why are you going to attack!"
"Now it's time to tell you!" A mysterious smile flashed across Wang Ping's face again.
Then he gave an astonishing answer: "Laiyuan City, I plan to raid Laiyuan City while the Japanese and puppet troops gather all their main forces on the streets!"
"What? Raid Laiyuan City? Captain, you are too courageous and too risky. I don't agree!" Cheng Xiao, who looked shocked, was the first to stand up and object.
"I don't agree either. If we really want to raid Laiyuan City, I will lead the team!" Zeng Quan objected!
Wang Ping replied confidently: "I know, you must think that it is impossible for our two battalions to enter Laiyuan City through a surprise attack!"
"Isn't it?" Cheng Xiao asked with a frown!
"Even if the Japanese army deploys another brigade to reinforce the backstreet stronghold, there are still two Japanese infantry brigade, one artillery brigade, and two regiments of the Imperial Army in Laiyuan City, with a total strength of nearly 5,000. Our two main battalions are full of one thousand.
Five hundred people, who are not heavenly soldiers or generals, how can they attack Laiyuan City!"
"Captain, I firmly oppose the attack on Laiyuan. There is no chance of winning at all!"
Zeng Quan also looked solemn and shook his head in opposition.
Wang Ping did not compromise, but replied with confidence: "Political Commissar, Chief of Staff, when have you seen me suffer losses on the battlefield!"
"If I'm not sure, do you think I would risk two main battalions!"
"Laiyuan is not an ordinary county town. It is very large. Even if there are four to five thousand Japanese puppet troops in the city, it is impossible for all of them to guard the city walls!"
"The first is their brigade headquarters. There must be a brigade."
"Then there is their ammunition depot and material warehouse. The two squadrons are definitely indispensable."
"Some other unimportant places also need to be defended. Even if we don't use the Japanese army, we still need to use the Imperial Alliance Army. For the large Laiyuan City, a regiment is definitely indispensable!"
"Calculated this way, the number of troops that the Japanese and puppet troops can use to defend the city wall will definitely not exceed 2,000, and the number assigned to each city gate will not exceed 500!"
