Eight hundred and ninetieth chapters commander's approach
The commander frowned and stared at the sand table without speaking.
After a full five minutes, he asked Wang Ping: "Ignore everything else, just tell me how long you can hold Linfen City!"
"Of course, I'm not asking you to defend Linfen City and fight the Japanese who come over. You are the leader of the new regiment, and you have the final say on how to fight!"
Wang Ping stared at the sand table and hesitated for a minute before confirming: "Ten days, ten days at most..."
"It is more than 100 kilometers from the front line in northwest Shanxi to Linfen City. The best way is to use guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare to delay them on the road. If we attack now, I am confident that we can delay them for ten days!"
"That's enough!" The commander's eyes quickly shot out two rays of light.
"I have an idea. All the mountain artillery and infantry artillery captured in this battle have been kept in our Taiyue Military Region. I plan to take away the eight mountain artillery and the original mountain artillery company of the directly affiliated brigade to form a mountain artillery battalion. Infantry artillery, and additional
All the remaining light and heavy machine guns and mortars directly under the brigade will be left to you. You can mobilize elites from the new regiment to carry out this task and hold off these 30,000 Japanese puppet troops for ten days!"
"I will return to the military region in a moment. Now that the other three military divisions have replenished a large amount of ammunition, the combat effectiveness of the troops will definitely be greatly improved. I plan to use these ten days to fight at least two Japanese annihilation battles in other military divisions and eliminate at least two infantrymen.
The brigade has also opened two breakthroughs in other aspects of the military region!"
"After the main force of the Japanese forces captures Linfen, if they want to continue this encirclement and suppression campaign, they must deploy troops to fill these two gaps. In this way, the pressure faced by the new regiment will be much less!"
"If the Japanese army intends to end this siege and concentrate its forces against your new regiment, I will ask the three military divisions to gather at least one main regiment of troops each, take the initiative to attack, kill the little Japanese on their backs, threaten their rear, and give new troops to their rear.
A ball to relieve stress!”
Wang Ping's eyes lit up and he replied: "This is a good idea!"
"Linfen is so big, and 30,000 Japanese puppet troops were killed in one go. No matter how many troops we have, we can't resist them head-on. But solving this problem from the outside is different. There are nearly ten regiments in three military divisions, and then
With the addition of the directly affiliated brigade, we can at least force the commander of the Japanese division to detach two regiments of troops!"
"Commander, I agree to this fight!"
The commander nodded and affirmed: "That's it, I'll go back to the military area in a while. It's time to go back after being out for so long!"
Then the conversation changed and he continued to ask: "However, even so, your new regiment still has to face more than 20,000 Japanese troops, including a heavy mountain artillery regiment, a field artillery regiment, and a tank brigade...
There is still a huge disparity in strength. If not, we might be driven out of Linfen by the Japs!"
The smile that appeared on Wang Ping's face suddenly disappeared again.
With a sullen face, he stared at the sand table and said nothing.
After working hard for so long, with a remnant of troops, I finally managed to get out of this situation, and the army has developed into a main force group that is known to the entire Eighth Route Army company headquarter.
If the next battle is directly turned into a prototype, Wang Ping will definitely not be willing to accept it.
However, the opponent's strength was too strong. Even if the commander took away one-third of the Japanese troops, they were still a behemoth and unable to shake in front of the weak new regiment!
Five minutes have passed, and Wang Ping has not taken his eyes off the sand table in front of him.
Ten minutes later, there was still no movement.
The commander couldn't help but ask: "Don't worry about the fight. The Japanese haven't killed them yet, and we don't know the fighting style of this division. Maybe our current ideas will be overturned when the battle starts!"
"Wang Ping, tell me first, what difficulties does your New Regiment face in the face of 20,000 to 30,000 elite Japanese troops? Solve the difficulties first, and then figure out how to fight this battle successfully. At the very least, you must keep the New Regiment now.
base!"
There was finally movement on Wang Ping's heavy face: "Commander, equipment and ammunition are not a problem? Because the troops have suffered heavy losses, our new regiment now has fewer people and more guns."
"There are also a lot of heavy weapons. There are five mountain artillery companies in the mountain artillery battalion with twenty mountain cannons. Each main battalion has two infantry cannons. In addition to the infantry cannons and mortars you left behind, Commander, several main battalions can be established.
The infantry artillery and mortar batteries are here!”
"As for ammunition, Commander, I won't hide it either. The various types of ammunition currently stored by the New Regiment are enough to fight several large-scale battles, so it won't be a problem!"
The commander nodded and asked: "Then there will be no problem with the new regiment?"
"Yes..." Wang Ping replied immediately.
"The strength of the new regiment is seriously insufficient..."
"In the battle that just ended, the main force of the new regiment plus local troops suffered direct losses of more than 3,000 people. Although there were nearly 1,000 wounded in it. However, these wounded basically cannot return to the army within a month!"
"The gap in the troops is too big. Many main troops have only one platoon or even half a platoon left in each company. They are almost disabled!"
"I'll solve this problem for you!" The commander suddenly made a decision, categorically, and it wasn't like he was joking!
Wang Ping shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Commander, these are two to three thousand people, not hundreds. How do you deal with them?"
"Now there are fightings everywhere in the military region. Every battalion and even every company is fighting. Where can we find troops to reinforce our new regiment!"
The commander did not get angry because of Wang Ping's rebuttal, but responded confidently: "I said I would help you solve it, and I will definitely find a way to solve it for you!"
After saying that, the commander shouted to the guard at the door of the war room: "Inform the chief of staff of the brigade directly under you immediately to report here!"
Chief of Staff Wang rushed into the war room, and before he could speak, the commander asked: "How many people are left in the direct brigade now, and how many captured puppet troops are in hand!"
The chief of staff, who didn't realize anything was wrong, replied with a smile on his face: "Commander, in this battle, the direct brigade directly lost nearly 2,000 people, but at least 500 lightly or seriously injured people can return to the army!"
"However, we also captured more than 1,800 prisoners on the battlefield, and we will definitely be able to mobilize more than a thousand people to join our Eighth Route Army. In this way, the direct brigade will have almost no losses!"
After a big battle, not only were two to three thousand Japs killed, but a large amount of equipment was also seized. The mountain artillery company was expanded into a mountain artillery battalion, a heavy machine gun platoon, and a mortar company, all of which reached full strength. More importantly, after adding prisoners, the troops
There is almost no loss, and the combat effectiveness is only strong.
For the Chief of Staff, this is definitely a matter of joy and pride.
However, the commander's next words instantly wiped out his good mood!
