Chapter 308: The head of the regiment can't do anything
As soon as the explosion stopped, Zhang Yunshan got up from the ground, led the guard platoon, and continued to retreat while dragging the wounded.
Zhang Yunshan finally withdrew, but five soldiers from the guard platoon died in the explosion.
At this time, with the help of flares, the Japanese cavalry squad successfully broke through the pocket formation they had just arranged, and then rushed towards the first company and artillery platoon.
"Continue to contact the first company and cover the retreat of the artillery platoon. You must remember that you cannot fight the Japanese in one place. Their artillery is not a vegetarian!" Zhang Yunshan ordered anxiously.
At the Second Battalion station, facing the defeated battalion commander, instructor Wang Liang could hardly believe his eyes.
After listening to the explanation from guard platoon leader Chen Junyu, Wang Liang immediately realized the seriousness of the matter!
"Battal Commander, if you can't attack the Japs at night, it will be even more impossible during the day. I think this matter must be reported to the regiment headquarters immediately. Since the Japs are already prepared, we must also change the battle plan!"
"I personally sent a telegram to the regiment leader and asked for punishment!" Zhang Yunshan looked very unhappy and replied in a serious tone.
Independent Regiment Headquarters, commander Wang Ping did not rest all night.
Although the guerrilla warfare during the day caused some casualties to the Japanese and puppet troops, those casualties were not even superficial to the powerful Japanese and puppet troops.
Therefore, Wang Ping directly placed his hope of killing a large number of Japanese and puppet troops at night, hoping that the troops operating outside the mountains could make a difference at night.
Needless to say, as long as a thousand puppet troops can be wiped out in one night, plus the results of the guerrilla warfare during the day, when the Japanese are about to enter the mountains, they will suddenly find that the more than 10,000 people who sent troops have already lost their comrades.
That's what I thought, but there were many difficulties and surprises in actually realizing it. Therefore, Wang Ping didn't rest all night, staying in the war room and next to the radio station to deal with possible emergencies at any time.
Fortunately, until almost dawn, neither of the two camps operating outside the mountain sent any telegrams.
Many times, no news means good news, especially during wars. Wang Ping firmly believes in this truth.
Just when Wang Ping thought nothing would happen tonight, an urgent telegram was sent directly from the communications platoon leader Xu Guang.
"Captain, if there is an emergency, please send an urgent call to Commander Zhang of the Second Battalion!"
"Urgent call!" Wang Ping immediately had a very bad premonition in his mind.
After receiving the telegram, he began to browse it. Soon, Wang Ping's brows furrowed into a big "Sichuan" sign. Then he stared at Xu Guang and asked, "Contact Third Battalion Commander Yan Song immediately and ask him about the situation there!"
"Yes, leader!" As soon as Xu Guang was about to leave, a communications staff officer rushed in and almost collided with Xu Guang.
"The telegram from Commander Yan of the Third Battalion is urgent!"
"Sure enough, something happened!" Wang Ping said in a serious tone after reading the telegram handed over by the communications staff.
Then he ordered: "Inform the political commissar and chief of staff immediately and come to the war room as soon as possible. There are changes in our counter-encirclement and suppression operations!"
Chief of Staff Zeng Quan rushed in and asked: "Commander, what's wrong? What happened!"
Cheng Xiao ran in immediately after him. Although he said nothing, his eyes were fixed on Wang Ping.
"This is the telegram sent by the 2nd and 3rd Battalions! Last night, I thought that the two main battalions, local troops and guerrillas acting together would definitely achieve great results. However, the actual situation is that the Japanese did not kill many.
On the contrary, we ourselves suffered heavy losses!”
Cheng Xiao quickly recovered from the shock and replied in a serious tone: "Second Battalion Zhang Yunshan's analysis is good. The Japs are bound to win this raid. They must have thought of solutions to the tricks we have used before!"
"In other words, the original tactics are not of much use against the Japanese who are encircling and suppressing us this time. If we want to win the counter-encirclement and suppression campaign, kill them, or repel them, we must think of new methods, which have not been used by the Japanese before.
The tricks he used on his body!" Zeng Quan analyzed with a look of sudden realization on his face.
"Not bad!" Wang Ping affirmed.
Cheng Xiaoze answered with an embarrassed look on his face: "But apart from guerrilla warfare and night attacks, in front of the powerful Japanese and puppet troops, I really can't think of any other way to deal with them?"
"Yes?" Wang Ping suddenly affirmed.
"Even if the devils knew the tactics and methods of counter-encirclement and suppression operations in military divisions and military regions, there would be nothing they could do about it!"
"It would be better to cut off one of his fingers than to injure ten of them!" Cheng Xiao reacted immediately.
But he quickly shook his head and objected: "No, it's too risky. And in my opinion, it's simply impossible."
"Leave aside the fact that there are more than 3,000 Japanese and puppet troops sweeping up each route, and they are equipped with a large number of heavy machine guns and artillery. Do we have the ability to destroy them?"
"Captain, have you ever thought about it. Although the Japanese army is divided into four groups, the distance between each group is no more than 20 kilometers. No matter it is day or night, it can take up to four hours to rush to get there. No luck.
If you do well, not only will you not be able to cut off one of the enemy's fingers, but you will also be surrounded by the enemy, and the whole army may be destroyed."
The chief of staff's face became even more ugly and he analyzed in a serious tone.
"The Japanese and puppet troops have aircraft cover during the day, so we definitely can't fight."
"But even at night, we can't do anything against the more than 3,000 well-equipped puppet troops. You know, at night the Japanese and puppet troops are stationed in villages that are conducive to defense. If we want to destroy them, we must attack. We even
How can we kill them when we don’t even have the minimum strength advantage!”
"Maybe the Japanese want us to attack, so that they can consume a lot of us in defense and then annihilate us!"
Both Cheng Xiao and Zeng Quan's analyzes were very reasonable, so the hope that just flashed on Wang Ping's face disappeared. Then he frowned and fell into deep thought without saying a word.
Finally, after running out of ideas, he could only order with a look of helplessness: "Then wait, I don't believe that the Japanese won't reveal any flaws after such a long time!"
At the Japanese brigade headquarters in Laiyuan City, because the troops were divided into four groups to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army, Ono did not directly lead the group, but stayed in Laiyuan City and commanded from the center.
Like Wang Ping, because this was the first night after the mopping up troops left the city, it was very important. Major General Ono also stayed in the war room without rest all night to avoid accidents.
Ono was very lucky that no telegrams were sent from the four front-line mopping up troops overnight.
According to the agreement he made with several captains, the lack of telegrams meant that the frontline battle situation was still within the control of the imperial army.
As the night slowly dissipated, Major General Ono's heart, which had been tense all night, finally relaxed.
"Your Majesty General, good news!" At this moment, the chief of staff who had also been guarding the whole night rushed in happily.
Yang Yang raised the telegram in his hand and said: "The four-way mopping up troops were all attacked last night, but they were easily repelled by them using predetermined tactics. The losses of the four-way mopping up troops were minimal. General, our methods are all effective. This
With one sweep, victory will definitely belong to us!"
"Yoshi!" Major General Ono laughed directly!
