Chapter seven hundred and sixty first cut army column
At the Japanese Brigade Headquarters in Linfen City, Matsumoto, who had managed to stay up until dawn, finally received good news from the front line.
The Eighth Route Army retreated, and the Eighth Route Army that attacked them retreated across the board, and they retreated overnight.
Matsumoto's tense nerves suddenly relaxed more than half.
However, he did not relax his vigilance.
He stared at the chief of staff and ordered: "The Eighth Route Army is too cunning. We cannot rule out the possibility that they will turn around and come back to catch us off guard. Therefore, we cannot let down our guard yet!"
"Send a telegram to all frontline troops to continue to strengthen vigilance. No one can relax without orders from the headquarters!"
"The mobile forces in the city can relax a little! However, the garrison and security forces in Linfen City cannot relax. The battle on the frontal battlefield may be over. With the Eighth Route Army's consistent combat style, it is likely that it will continue to fight an intelligence war with us.
.”
"Also, from now on, no one can approach my office unless they have important military information. I will personally report the battle process to the Commander, and then request troops and material support to retaliate against the Eighth Route Army and clear Linfen in one fell swoop.
All anti-Japanese armed forces!"
The troops lost the battle. Not only did they fail to complete their mission, they also lost troops and generals.
Once the brigade commander reports, the chief of staff is sure that the brigade commander will be scolded bloody. At that time, it is possible that the brigade commander's position will be taken directly by the headquarters.
The only way to solve this problem is to use the brigade commander's background to avoid punishment, and then put some pressure on the headquarters to cooperate with the brigade commander and mobilize troops to reinforce Linfen.
The chief of staff understands this very well, and retaining the position of brigade commander will be of great benefit to him as chief of staff.
Therefore, the chief of staff responded with almost no hesitation: "Please rest assured, general, no one, including those with low-level positions, will come near your office without your order!"
Sanquan Town New Regiment Headquarters, the 1st and 3rd battalions are directly under the firepower company, the regiment headquarters is directly under the artillery battalion, the heavy machine gun company, the 2nd battalion and the 4th company, the firepower company, the 4th battalion and the 10th company, the firepower company, a total of more than 1,000 people, are all stationed
Outside Sanquan Town, prepare for a new battle.
"Captain, how do you plan to fight?" The chief of staff, who had been thinking all day and night but could not think of a way to solve the problem of the shortage of supplies in the troops, couldn't help but ask when he saw the troops arriving.
Wang Ping did not hide anything: "Remember what I told you before, we are guarding a very rich railway line, and if we let the troops starve to fight, then our positions as commanders will be in vain?"
Then he shouted with a look of realization: "Commander, do you want to attack the Tongpu Railway? But we don't know when a military train will pass by on the railway?"
"It won't take long to have them, and the quantity will be very large!" Wang Ping answered with certainty.
Zhong Chenggong was just about to ask why? Wang Ping had already explained: "If the Japs in Linfen City want to retaliate against us, they will definitely mobilize troops and supplies from outside. And the best way for troops and supplies to enter Linfen is through the railway. As long as we guard
If we follow the railway and intercept a few more military columns, then we will have enough of the various materials we are in short supply!"
"Not only that, after intercepting the supplies transported by the Japs through the military trains, the Japs in Linfen City did not have enough supplies. They could only continue to draw from outside, and they had to allocate a large number of troops to protect the railway lines. In this way,
Come, their time to retaliate against us will be postponed, and their troops will be much smaller!"
"Kill two birds with one stone! Captain, let's do this. If we don't do such a good thing, it will be in vain!" Zhong Chenggong replied with excitement on his face.
But soon, Zhong Chenggong calmed down.
The Japanese knew better than the Eighth Route Army how the railway lines played a role in them.
Although the Tongpu Railway in Linfen has not been attacked in the past six months, there are still more than a dozen strongholds in large and small along this more than 30 kilometers of railway line, in which Gui Linfen is stationed.
There was a railway garrison under the city's jurisdiction, more than 400 Japanese soldiers, and more than 300 puppet troops.
Not to mention, the Japanese armored trains would travel along the railway line almost every hour.
On both sides of the railway line, as long as there is a suspicious target, it will be violently attacked by armored trains!
Within half a year, at least dozens of civilians and guerrillas died at the hands of Japanese armored trains while crossing railway lines.
Armored train patrols are not included. Every time an important Japanese military column passes by, in addition to being protected by its own garrison, there will also be an armored train in front and behind the military column. Once the military column is attacked, the two armored trains in front and behind will be
It will turn into two mobile fortresses, destroying all enemies who dare to approach the military columns.
He frowned and asked Wang Ping: "Commander, if you want to intercept the Japanese military column, you must first find out what is on each Japanese military column. We can't intercept the military column when we see it. The little Japs are not fools, no."
We may be given the opportunity to intercept their military columns again and again, and they will definitely take countermeasures!"
"Also, if you want to intercept the military column, you must first capture the Japanese railway garrison on a section of the railway line, and then you must find a way to deal with the Japanese armored trains on the railway, and deal with the reinforcements that the Japanese may send over, and finally you can
The military column was intercepted."
"Finally, a Japanese military column can easily contain hundreds of tons of supplies. We still need to prepare enough transport trucks and manpower to transport all the captured goods before the Japanese large-scale reinforcements arrive."
"Otherwise, our military formation will be in vain!"
Wang Ping glanced at Zhong Chenggong with appreciation.
After experiencing a series of battles in front of him, the Chief of Staff has obviously improved and matured a lot, and he has become more and more integrated into the outstanding role of Chief of Staff. Faced with the battle plan he proposed, he can quickly analyze various problems in it and find loopholes.
, and finally work together to find a solution.
Wang Ping, who looked satisfied, immediately answered: "I'm already doing the first question."
"Chief of Staff, didn't you see that the team directly under the regiment headquarters did not come with the troops of the second battalion? I asked them to take the radio and lurk to the station before Linfen Station of the Tongpu Railway. No matter what train passes through that platform,
When entering Linfen, you have to find out what is in the train, what time it will arrive at our place, and then use the radio to inform us!"
"As for the garrison along the Japs' railway line, we cannot attack them in advance. To attack them in advance would be to tell the Japs that we are going to intercept their military columns. That would be to alert the enemy."
"However, we can prepare for the attack. When we intercept the military column, we can kill the nearby gun towers and garrison together!"
"Don't forget, in addition to the secret weapon of the mountain artillery battalion, we also have an infantry artillery company."
"Originally there were only three infantry cannons. The second battalion sent two, and the third battalion sent two, adding up to seven. One infantry cannon can deal with one gun tower stronghold, plus a fire company and an infantry platoon. It should be able to
Easily kill a Japanese gun tower stronghold!"
"The little devil's armored train is indeed a giant for ordinary infantry. Not only is it equipped with artillery and a large number of light and heavy machine guns, it can also block bullets. However, it cannot block the direct fire of the infantry cannon. When the time comes, we will use two
If one infantry cannon is used against an armored train, it will definitely destroy them easily!"
"The Japanese infantry escorting the train, we have heavy machine guns, mortars, and two companies of infantry, so they shouldn't be afraid!"
"As for the Japanese reinforcements, after the train attack, we have enough troops and heavy firepower to deal with them!"
"The last step is to transport the seized items. I'm waiting for someone now. As long as he arrives, we can transport any more seized items back to the base!"
