Chapter five hundred and thirty first Matsumoto's plan
Although Wang Ping was the leader of the main force regiment and the director of the arsenal.
However, Wang Ping was still excited when he heard that the special operations squadron had been expanded into a brigade and that he himself had become a battalion-level cadre.
The Eighth Route Army is very strict in promoting cadres, and it is impossible to be promoted without sufficient military merit. Now that I have been promoted, it shows that my contribution as the captain of the special operations team has been recognized by the head of the headquarters.
"Please tell the brigade commander to the head of the headquarters that I will lead the special operations brigade well and make new achievements again. I promise not to let them down!" After hearing the order, Wang Ping saluted directly and promised.
Brigadier Chen shook his head and replied: "These guarantees will wait until you return to the headquarters and tell the head of the headquarters in person. Let's talk about our affairs first! The headquarters agrees that you help us train the special forces. I still have the original request. What I want is a special forces that can fight.
.So, during the training process, actual combat should be carried out. After casualties occur, I will replenish you as much as you lose. Several regiment leaders should have already approached you. Tell me how you plan to help!"
"Incorporate them directly into the special operations brigade and conduct training in actual combat!" Wang Ping answered directly without any nonsense.
"I plan to set up three squadrons in the special operations brigade. Each squadron will have three detachments, including a special operations detachment at the headquarters, a special operations detachment at the brigade, and a special operations detachment in the main group below. The extra special operations detachments will return to
Directly under the brigade. In this case, with the special operations team from the headquarters leading it, each special operations squadron can perform its mission independently?"
"And this method of bringing in the old with the new is most suitable for military training!"
Brigadier Chen affirmed with an expression of approval: "What I want is a special operations team that can fight in actual combat, otherwise I might as well not set up a special operations team!"
Then he stared at Wang Ping and continued to ask: "I will give you five days to prepare. You will choose the personnel of each regiment's special operations team. The equipment will satisfy you as much as possible. In five days, will the special operations team be able to go to war?"
Going out to fight in the mountains and training troops through actual combat has been mentioned more than once since Wang Ping came here.
Therefore, as soon as Brigadier Chen asked this question, Wang Ping rushed to answer: "It doesn't take five days, just three days!"
"Then I'll give you three days!" Brigadier Chen replied readily.
Then the conversation changed, and he stared at Wang Ping and asked: "If I guessed correctly, you must be very curious now. I have never let you come out of the mountain, so why do you take the initiative to let you out now!"
Seeing Wang Ping nod, Brigadier Chen's face flashed with a look of helplessness!
Then he introduced: "We have not been in Taiyue for a long time, and we don't even have a complete base area. You should know this!"
"Without a base area, we can't collect public grain from the people, and the people don't trust us to lend them food. In this case, the Japanese raids began. In order to ensure that the soldiers did not go hungry during the counter-encirclement and suppression campaign, we used
With all the money we had in hand, we were able to buy the army's rations for nearly two months. We originally thought that this food would be enough for us to hold on until we beat back the Japs, but we never expected that the Japs would be so ruthless in their raids this time."
"They burned, killed, looted and tortured, and committed all kinds of evil. Many people had their food taken away by the Japanese, and then they were driven into the mountains by the Japanese and puppet troops because they were hungry."
"Our Eighth Route Army is the people's army. We cannot ignore them. We can only use our own rations to support them and try to survive until the Japanese retreat!"
"Of course, this also brings a lot of benefits. The people who did not trust us now completely believe in us. In just one month, we have gained an additional regiment of new soldiers. But the problem now is that we have,
We also gained the support of the people, but we ran out of food!”
"The five or six regiments of troops, as well as a large number of people who were driven into the mountains by the Japanese and puppet troops, need a lot of food every day. The food we have now can only last ten days even if we are frugal. If we can't get it anymore,
Without food, starvation alone will bring down the troops, and all the popular support we have finally won will be lost!"
Wang Ping's face suddenly became serious, and he frowned and replied: "The devil's trick of killing everyone is quite cruel. They have targeted our weak points and intend to kill us with one fatal blow. At least they must clear the Taiyue area for us!"
"
"Brigadier, when did this start!"
"Five days ago!" Brigadier Chen replied.
"The day after the breakout battle in Gongli Village ended!" Wang Ping suddenly reacted.
Then he analyzed: "The Japanese must have felt that general encirclement and sweeps were no longer effective on us, and they were losing troops and generals, so they thought of this tactic to take revenge on us!"
"That's true. After the enemy's plan to wipe out households began, we sent several battalions out to fight against the enemy's heavy supply troops. We were planning to find a way from the enemy to see if we could seize some food and bring it back. But we didn't bring back the food. Several battalions
They were all attacked heavily by the Japs, and the Independent Regiment suffered the greatest losses. One battalion was completely wiped out, and no one came back!" Brigadier Chen replied with a stern face.
Speaking of anger, he slammed his clenched fists on the table in front of him.
Then he was not polite and stared at Wang Ping and said: "Later we analyzed that those so-called transport troops and grain warehouses were all tomboys released by the Japanese. The Japanese knew that we were short of food, so they set up these traps for us, etc.
Let’s take the bait!”
"The Japanese special forces must have played a big role here. Without the participation of the Japanese special forces, even if it was a trap, the losses of our attacking troops would not be so great!" Wang Ping analyzed sharply.
"Also, we killed another special operations team of the Japanese Special Forces in Gongli Village. The Japanese Special Forces will definitely find a way to retaliate against us. The Japanese Special Forces must be involved in this plan to kill everyone!"
"Brigadier, let the special operations brigade come up? The most effective way to deal with Japanese special forces is the special operations brigade!"
"Also, aren't the troops short of food now? What the special operations brigade is best at is getting food and supplies. Within ten days, we will definitely get at least one month's rations for the troops! By the way, we broke the enemy's plan to wipe out the family and let the enemy pay compensation.
After killing his wife and losing his troops, the people in the entire Taiyue area completely lost all illusions about them and turned to us!"
"You have no joke!" Brigadier Chen was frightened by Wang Ping's answer and stared at Wang Ping and asked.
"I dare to issue a military order!" Wang Ping replied with certainty.
Then the conversation changed and he stared at Brigadier Chen and said: "But I have a request. Please provide the brigade commander with a radio station for our special operations brigade and provide surrounding intelligence at any time. Also, if the main force is needed to cooperate, please also ask the brigade commander
Please dispatch the troops in time!"
"Although the special operations brigade is elite, the number of troops is too small after all!"
"No problem, as long as you can get food, I won't hesitate to lose one regiment!" Brigadier Chen, who has been troubled by food these days, also tried his best and answered through gritted teeth.
At the Japanese brigade headquarters in the county, everyone at the top and bottom had smiles on their faces, and there was no trace of the gloom caused by the loss of an infantry brigade a few days ago.
After feeling comfortable, the Major General Brigade Commander directly drank wine with Colonel Matsumoto at the headquarters.
"Matsumoto-kun, I'd like to toast you with this glass of wine. If it weren't for your trick of killing everyone, we would still be here searching for traces of Tubal Road all over the mountains and plains. It would be so comfortable as it is now. All we need to do is lay a trap and wait for Tubal Road to be fooled!"
The commander of the Major General Brigade, who personally poured a glass of wine for Colonel Matsumoto, simply forgot about the dignity of both parties and picked up the glass and said complimentary to Colonel Matsumoto.
"In less than ten days, we have completely annihilated one main battalion of the Eighth Route Army, severely damaged three of their main battalions, wiped out nearly one of their regiments, and lost less than one infantry squadron. This is absolutely something we never dared to think about before.
Think of a big victory!”
"This is all your fault Matsumoto-kun, I respect you!"
