Five hundred and seventeenth the appetite is too big
The brigade leader was completely moved.
According to Matsumoto's idea, even if the main force of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army could not be completely wiped out, at least two of their regiments could be killed and they would be severely damaged.
Compared with two infantry brigades holding a net and waiting for death, chasing these two regiments may definitely bring them greater military exploits.
"Chief of Staff, the order just now is cancelled!" Now that the decision had been made, the brigade commander no longer hesitated and started issuing orders directly.
"Notify the second and third brigades to cooperate with their assigned special operations detachments to hunt down the main force of the Eighth Route Army that came out of the mountain!"
"The intelligence department and reconnaissance force will closely monitor all access to the mountain. As soon as the main force of the Eighth Route Army is found to be reinforcing Gongli Village, immediately contact the Fourth Brigade in Gongli Village and ask them to prepare for defensive battles!"
The chief of staff happily rushed in to the 386 brigade headquarters hidden deep in the mountains.
"Brigade Commander, the Japanese were indeed fooled. Even though they knew this was our plan to invade the east and attack the west, they still sent troops to attack the two regiments. I have already telegraphed the two regiments to lead the Japanese in circles outside the mountain. They must not be caught by the Japanese.
!”
"I didn't worry before. We were good at fighting mobile warfare and leading the Japs in circles. But now that the Japs have special forces to cooperate with them, there are too many variables. Send a telegram to the two regiment commanders.
, you must be more cautious, arrange more scouts, and be careful of the Japanese special forces!"
The chief of staff immediately comforted him: "Don't worry, Brigadier, Captain Wang has already thought of this!"
"In order to prevent the Japanese special forces from tracking us, he specially arranged two special operations units to follow the two regiments. There will definitely be no problems!"
"Wang Ping sent two special operations units to the two regiments that were out! What a joke. He brought three units in total and left only one special operations unit to carry out the mission. Isn't that risky?" said Brigadier Chen.
He frowned and asked the chief of staff with a dissatisfied look on his face.
"There are more than 2,000 Japanese puppet troops in Gongli Village, and nearly a thousand Japanese soldiers alone. What's the use of these few people?"
The chief of staff quickly explained: "Brigadier, I didn't agree with it at first. But Captain Wang said that this battle does not require more people. As long as the tactics are used well, the role of one special operations unit is no more important than that of the entire unit."
The special forces team is going to send you!"
"And there are two special operations teams formed by Captain Wang for us. Captain Wang insists on doing this, so I can only agree!"
"Then we can only wait!" Brigadier Chen replied helplessly.
Then he ordered: "There is one regiment left at the brigade headquarters, plus the guard battalion from the headquarters, all move to the edge of the mountain, be ready for battle, and be ready to go out to meet the special forces and the new regiment that breaks out at any time!"
It was one o'clock in the morning and he had been lurking in the woods nearly one kilometer away from Gongli Village for almost an hour.
From time to time, gunshots were heard from Gongli Village not far away, but Wang Ping did not directly lead people to attack the two lines of defense guarded by the Japanese and puppet troops outside Gongli Village.
Time passed by. Yi Kuoyang, the captain of the 386th Brigade Special Forces Team selected by Wang Ping, was squatting next to him. His face became more and more anxious. He couldn't help but ask when the third detachment would start taking action.
Squad leader Zhang Guoding touched it like a ghost without making any sound.
"Captain, we have figured out the troop deployment of the Japanese and puppet troops. We have captured a platoon leader of the Imperial Association Army and have obtained all the information we can get."
Know yourself and your enemy and you will be victorious in any battle. This is the fundamental reason why Wang Ping never launched an attack.
Staring at Zhang Guoding, he asked: "The more detailed the better, report it immediately, the Japs don't have much time left for us!"
"Yes!" Zhang Guoding replied immediately.
"The Japanese have an infantry brigade and the Imperial Army has a regiment, almost all of them are deployed around Gongli Village!"
"Because they had expected that they would be attacked from both front and rear by us tonight, the Japanese army and the puppet army were not separated. They were all mixed together to form two encirclement circles around Gongli Village. There were more than 600 Japanese puppet troops in the inner circle and more than 1,300 Japanese puppet troops in the outer circle.
Japanese and puppet troops.”
"The heavy machine guns equipped by the two troops are all set up on the high ground around the village, forming a fixed firepower point that can block all entrances and exits around the village with firepower."
"If the New Regiment wants to rush out, these firepower points must be destroyed. Otherwise, these light and heavy machine guns alone can kill almost all of the New Regiment!"
"Also, we found the Japanese headquarters because we calculated that the new regiment had no artillery. It was only more than 500 meters away from the village. There were three tents in total with radio antennas and a lot of telephone wires to lead them there!"
"I specially went to take a closer look. There are not many people in the Japanese headquarters. There is only a small team of guards. The Imperial Association Army only has about one platoon. If time does not allow, I really want to lead people to kill this headquarters!"
The speaker has no intention, the listener has no intention.
Wang Ping's brows, which were still frowning just now, suddenly relaxed, and his eyes quickly shot out two rays of light.
Then he stared at Zhang Guoding and asked: "Are you sure you have discovered the Japanese headquarters, and the total number of guards in the headquarters is less than a hundred!"
"I'm sure!" Zhang Guoding affirmed.
Then he seemed to think of something? Then he added: "However, the Japanese artillery troops are stationed near the headquarters, less than a hundred meters apart. There is an infantry artillery squad and a mortar squadron. But they all surrounded
Resting next to the campfire, a mortar and two infantry guns are set up in the middle of the station."
"Also, there are not many people on guard at either the Japanese artillery station or the headquarters."
"The little devil must have regarded himself as the master of this place, and then he acted so unscrupulously!"
Regardless of Zhang Guoding's atmosphere, Wang Ping stared at him and continued to ask: "Also, you just said that as long as you are given time, you can kill the Japs headquarters! Tell me how many people you need and how long it will take.
, how to kill them!"
Zhang Guoding immediately replied: "This is not easy. The Japs have no sentries and it is dark. We can easily get under the Japs' noses. We will first use small artillery to blow up the Japs' three tents, and then snipers will kill the Japs.
The machine gunners and firemen cover, and the assaulters launch a direct assault. They can definitely catch the Japanese by surprise, and then take advantage of the chaos to kill them!"
"Three cannons firing three shells in a row can kill at least one-third of the Japs and all the officers. The snipers and firemen will kill some more, and the rest will be left to the assaulters. There will definitely be no problem!"
"The Japs are strong in combat, they are also good with bayonets, and their marksmanship is good. However, we all have automatic weapons in our hands, and in close combat, the three Japs are no match for us alone!"
"Okay then, go and kill the Japanese headquarters, I'll give you twenty minutes!" Wang Ping ordered decisively without any nonsense.
"Captain Yi's special force followed me to kill the Japanese artillery. They tried to capture the Japanese artillery, then turned the muzzle and used the Japanese's own artillery to call out the firepower points they arranged around the village, and then covered the new regiment.
Fight out!"
Until then, Captain Yi had not yet recovered from the shock.
He asked Wang Ping blankly: "Captain, this is a change in the battle plan! Also, wouldn't it be too risky to directly attack the Japanese headquarters?"
