"This battle is not easy to fight!" Rong Jun's face suddenly became solemn and he replied with a stern face.
"Not bad!" Instructor Wu Yanrong affirmed, with a very solemn expression on his face.
"The total strength of the Japanese and puppet troops is nearly 1,600 people. We only have more than 600 people when we are full... No, including the reinforcements sent by the regiment headquarters, there are more than 800 people in total. But even so, the total strength of the Japanese and puppet troops is
They are still twice as powerful as us. Moreover, they are well-equipped and have sufficient ammunition, but more than half of our soldiers are not even equipped with rifles and have very few bullets. In this case, we are no match at all!"
The atmosphere in the headquarters suddenly became heavy, and everyone lowered their heads and said nothing.
At this time, Li Wen spoke: "Captain Xiao, it's not like there is no chance!"
"The equipment issue you are worried about is not a problem at all in my opinion. If you don't have equipment, if you fight a war of annihilation, you will have everything!"
"Also, our opponents, the total strength of the Japanese and puppet troops is more than 1,600 people. But don't forget that these more than 1,600 Japanese and puppet troops are not concentrated together, and they are divided into two groups.
We have every chance to defeat each of them individually!"
As Li Wen spoke, Xiao Yunshan's eyes shot out two rays of light.
Then he stared at the map and shouted: "We have a way, first kill the two nearby infantry squadrons that have been trying to encircle us!"
"Captain Li, I need your help with something. Haven't the Japanese always wanted to know our specific location? Find a way to reveal our current location so that they can take the initiative and come to encircle and suppress us!"
Li Wen immediately reacted: "Captain Xiao, do you want to ambush the Japanese encirclement and suppression troops?"
"Not bad!" Xiao Yunshan affirmed.
"Whether it is the heavy machine gun company or the mortar company reinforced by the regiment leader, they are very suitable for ambushes. As long as the Japanese don't come too many at a time, we are fully capable of killing them through an ambush!"
Instructor Wu Yanrong immediately raised his concerns: "But, battalion commander, are the Japanese so stupid that they would obediently sneak into our ambush circle?"
"They have special forces. Even if they come to encircle and suppress us, they will be very cautious and will not be stupid enough to sneak into our ambush!"
Xiao Yunshan answered confidently: "The Japs have special forces, and we have a direct team. And I have no intention of preparing a pocket array for the Japs to kill them in one go."
Linfen City Japanese Brigade Headquarters, a telegram from Fengyun Town asking for help directly caused the calm headquarters to panic.
Major General Matsumoto also had a gloomy face after reading the telegram handed over by the Chief of Staff, and did not say a word for a long time.
"Chief of Staff, the stronghold on the edge of Fengyun Town has a total of 600,000 kilograms of grain stored in it, and it is also the stronghold of one of our armed grain grabbing troops. We must not lose it. General, please make a decision early and keep the stronghold!" The Chief of Staff hesitated.
After a moment of advice.
"Order the mobile troops in the city to set off immediately to reinforce the stronghold!" Major General Matsumoto finally responded and ordered with a calm face.
"Also, send a telegram to the armed grain-grabbing troops in Fengyun Town, telling them to leave the Eighth Route Army base at dawn and not stay for more than an hour! If Tuba Road takes the base, the next target of the attack will definitely be them. I don't want to
Let’s lose hundreds of imperial troops for no reason!”
"Also: Send a telegram to the Third and Fourth Armed Food-Grabbing Units and ask them to retreat, take the food, and return directly to Linfen!"
The chief of staff suddenly frowned: "General, we have retreated, who is going to grab food from the Eighth Route Army base area!"
"Even if the food from Fengyun Town is safely transported back to Linfen City, the three armies will only bring back less than 2 million jins of grain. They still need to snatch at least 2 million jins from the Tuba Road base area to satisfy our demand for food.
need!"
"Bagya Road, which is more important, food or our troops!" Major General Matsumoto scolded without hesitation.
"Didn't you see? This time we went deep into the Eighth Route Army base area to grab food, and fell into a trap on the Tubal Road from the beginning?"
Major General Matsumoto finally reacted, but now he realized that it was definitely too late.
Seeing the chief of staff's mouth open with an expression of shock and disbelief, Matsumoto explained directly.
"If the food is gone, we can think of other ways through other channels. But if the troops are gone, no matter how much food we grab, we can't keep it, just like our third brigade that grabbed food in Tianxin Town."
"Tubalu is so cunning, they have seen this a long time ago!"
"They are also short of food, but they did not fight us for food. Instead, when we went deep into their base areas to seize food with armed forces, they slowly consumed us through guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare. After we were almost exhausted, they directly sent troops to kill us.
.”
"The third brigade in Tianxin Town has been killed by Tubal Road using this method. Not only are the troops gone, but the food they worked so hard to grab has also been snatched back by them!"
"Now, the same method is used by Tuba Road on our fourth brigade that is robbing food in Fengyun Town. I don't want to see the fourth brigade follow in the footsteps of the third brigade, let alone the other two armed groups robbing food.
The troops also ended up with both men and food empty!"
The chief of staff finally reacted, his face was not only shocked but also shocked.
He was stunned for a full ten seconds before he reacted: "General, I understand, go and give the order now!"
In less than ten minutes, the chief of staff came back, looking very unhappy.
"General, the stronghold garrison called back: The troops suffered heavy losses. The Eighth Route Army's offensive troops are well-equipped, not only equipped with mortars and heavy machine guns, but also infantry cannons and a large-caliber heavy artillery that has never been seen before!"
"The troops suffered heavy losses, and the turret, the only support point for firepower, was also blown up. They will definitely not be able to hold on for long!"
"It's over!" These two words suddenly appeared in Major General Matsumoto's mind, and then a look of despair appeared on his face.
"The two squadrons of the Fourth Brigade in Fengyun Town are finished! After the Eighth Route Army takes over the stronghold, the next target will definitely be them!"
"As for the large-caliber heavy artillery that appeared on the battlefield, if my guess is correct, it must be the home-made flying thunder cannon of the Eighth Route Army. Although it is very powerful, it has a short range and poor shooting accuracy. We have already had ways to deal with this kind of weapon.
!”
"Chief of Staff, find it immediately and send it to all the troops we can contact!"
"Also, contact the two remaining armed food-grabbing units and ask them to strengthen their vigilance, stick to their strongholds, and retreat to Linfen with the food at dawn!"
"Finally, contact the aviation force and send at least three planes after dawn to reinforce our three groups of armed food-grabbing troops!"
"We have lost enough troops for this little food, and we must not suffer any more losses."
The Japanese and puppet army stronghold in Sanquan Town is very close to Tianxin Town, and the Tongpu railway line, which is related to the logistical supplies of tens of thousands of troops, passes by. It also plays a role in blocking the Eighth Route Army in Linfen South from entering Linfen North. The garrison at the stronghold directly
It was expanded from a garrison squadron to a reinforcement squadron more than a month ago.
Heavy machine guns and mortars were all used to strengthen a squad, with the total strength reaching nearly 250 people.
Not only that, they also ordered the puppet troops and the young men in the town to build a ring of fortifications around the stronghold.
Once a stronghold is attacked, the defenders can use the fortifications around the stronghold to fight, and then the gun towers and bunkers in the stronghold serve as fixed firepower points to provide fire support to the infantry.
Under such a tight defense, it is certain that as long as the Eighth Route Army attacking them is not equipped with heavy weapons, even an infantry regiment will not be able to capture the stronghold.
