"Chief of Staff, are the Japanese still building gun towers these days?" Brigadier Chen asked, staring at the crude sand table in front of him.
"It's under construction. There are a dozen more turrets that have started construction today, but they haven't been marked on the sand table yet!" the chief of staff replied solemnly.
Seeing the densely packed turrets on the sand table, Brigadier Chen frowned involuntarily.
At a glance, the base area with the red flag has been completely divided into small pieces by the Japanese artillery towers with the white flag. The base areas that originally had great strategic depth are now gone. The troops operating in those base areas are completely blocked by the Japanese artillery towers.
Divided and compressed into long and narrow areas.
When the Japanese are not encircling and suppressing us, everything is fine.
But once the Japanese army concentrated heavy troops to encircle and suppress them in separate areas, the troops trapped in a narrow area would not even have a place to retreat and move.
He replied with a stern face: "No, we can't let the Japanese build any more. These artillery towers and roads are like a net that covers all our troops. We must break this big net, otherwise we will unknowingly
Divided and surrounded by the Japanese, and then destroyed!"
The chief of staff responded quickly: "Brigade commander, you mean to launch a large-scale raid to destroy these gun towers!"
"Not bad!" Brigadier Chen affirmed.
The chief of staff immediately raised his concerns: "However, the Japanese mobile troops transported by cars are a big trouble!"
"When the Japanese first built the artillery tower, some of our troops fought against it. But just halfway through the battle, the Japanese reinforcements came in cars and attacked from both sides. In the end, not only did we fail to capture the artillery building, we also lost troops when we broke through and retreated."
"We don't have direct sights on the artillery. We can only use explosive packs to blow up the towers. The biggest problem with this attack is time. It takes at least half an hour to capture a tower. If there are more defenders, it can take an hour or even two hours.
Perhaps, this can only be achieved when the main force has several times the strength advantage. However, the Japanese mobile force will not give us this time at all!"
Brigadier Chen frowned more deeply and stared at the map without speaking.
"Chief, a new group of urgent calls!" Suddenly, the communications staff walked in.
"Wang Ping is more anxious than us, he can't sit still!" reported the chief of staff who quickly read the telegram and handed it to the brigade commander.
"He is under greater pressure than our other troops!" Brigadier Chen replied with a frown after reading the telegram.
"Although the new regiment has regained some strength, all the base areas outside the mountain are gone, not even a fortress village. After the troops leave the mountain, everything has to start from scratch, and they have to face the Japanese prison policy from the beginning.
This battle is not easy to fight!"
But after only a few seconds of hesitation, the brigade commander made a decision: "Call Wang Ping back and agree to their departure and the formation of the fourth battalion of the new regiment. The relevant battalion-level cadres will report to the brigade headquarters as soon as possible for filing!"
"In addition, after the new regiment leaves the mountain, it must report the situation every three days!"
The chief of staff was stunned for a moment and asked: "Brigade commander, do you want the new regiment to test the waters!"
Brigadier Chen replied affirmatively: "Someone has to try the Japs' cage policy. Since Wang Ping wants to fight, let him go. He has a flexible mind, and maybe he can come up with a way to deal with the Japs during the battle."
, breaking their cage policy.”
After Tianjiacun maintained the meeting and sent out the liaison officers, Rong Jun locked himself in his room to think about solutions.
Although he is only a company commander now, he believes that only by thinking more can he make progress.
However, after a few days, he could not think of any other solution except using artillery to attack and destroy the gun towers along the highway.
At this moment, the liaison officer came back and brought with him the radio station team sent by Wang Ping.
"Company Commander Rong... No, I can call you Battalion Commander Rong now. The regiment headquarters sent a telegram to officially appoint you as the commander of the fourth battalion of the new regiment. The regiment commander requires you to complete the unit training within two days. You may have a mission in two days."
Issued!"
The long-lost appointment documents finally arrived.
Rong Jun immediately threw away all the problems and worries in his mind, took the telegram and read it over and over again, completely immersed in the joy of being promoted.
The instructor was stunned for a long time before he realized what he was doing. He stared at Rong Jun and asked, "Company commander... no, battalion commander, our fourth company has really been expanded into a fourth battalion!"
"The commander's order will not be wrong!" After five minutes, Rong Jun calmed down from the surprise.
He analyzed with a serious face: "Instructor, if the regiment leader is so anxious, he must take big action. My opinion is to expand the platoon directly. The original platoon leader will be the company commander, the deputy platoon leader will be the instructor, and the squad leader will be the platoon leader.
Commander, and then select veterans from among the new recruits to serve as squad leaders."
"Also, many people in the new military camp have previously let go of platoon leaders and squad leaders. As long as they have the ability, they can be promoted and directly become platoon leaders and squad leaders!"
The instructor affirmed: "There is no problem with the cadres. There are many good talents among the recruits, especially those from the Northwest Army who were the first to join us."
"But there is a problem. There is not enough equipment. Half of the soldiers in each company do not have guns. According to the standards of the other three battalions, we are still short of five light machine guns, three heavy machine guns, and three grenades.
Door!"
Rong Jun's brows suddenly wrinkled.
The leader of the liaison team standing in front of him suddenly interjected.
"Batalion Commander Rong, the equipment commander has already prepared it for you, just a lot more!"
At the new regiment station, Wang Ping has been staring at the map for almost half an hour.
Finally, I drew a big circle in Fengyun Town with a pen: "This is it, Chief of Staff, this is the closest to the Fourth Battalion. We will take Fengyun Town first and kill all the Japanese and puppet troops in Fengyun Town!"
"Immediately send a telegram to the Invalid Army, contact the Third Company and the Seventh Company, and move as a platoon unit to Fengyun Town to lurk, listen to the command of the Fourth Battalion of the Invalid Army, and wait for orders!"
Zhong Chenggong nodded and asked: "Then how do we get out! If we take the secret passage, we will definitely not be able to transport heavy equipment out!"
"Fight it out!" Wang Ping affirmed.
"I want Matsumoto of Linfen City to know that we are out of the mountain as soon as possible, and then send heavy troops to chase and intercept us!"
"Strike in the east and attack in the west!" the chief of staff responded quickly.
Wang Ping affirmed: "We will attack the blockade frontally to attract the attention of the Japanese and provide the Rong Army with an opportunity to capture Fengyun Town!"
"As long as we create an opening here and contact the Fourth Battalion, the two towns between Fengyun Town and the mountain at our feet will be surrounded by us, and then we will kill the Japanese in the encirclement calmly before they can react.
They took over these three towns directly!"
Zhong Chenggong was shocked again: "Three towns were swallowed in one go, not just one town at the beginning!"
"Since we want to defeat the ignorant Japanese, we have a bigger appetite!" Wang Ping shouted with a proud look on his face.
