Eight hundred and ninetieth chapters the devil is too strong
"You go back and hand over the more than 1,800 prisoners in the hands of the direct brigade. All the more than 1,800 prisoners in the hands of the direct brigade will be handed over to the new regiment. Also, the three main regiments of the direct brigade will draw 500 veterans from each regiment, and they can form a whole company.
But the cadres above the deputy battalion level cannot be removed. A total of 1,500 people will also stay and join the new regiment!"
The commander's decision was like a thunderclap. The chief of staff was stunned and could not react for a long time.
It took him a full minute to react and asked with an expression of disbelief.
"Why?"
"Commander, as a result, there are only 3,000 people left in the direct brigade. When will it be restored to full strength?"
"Now there are fightings everywhere in the base area, and even the new troops are recruited. After returning to the military area, there will be no soldiers to replenish the troops in a short period of time..."
The chief of staff's reaction was as expected by the commander.
No one knows when the next battle of the directly-affiliated brigade will begin. As the chief of staff of the directly-affiliated brigade, he must ensure the combat effectiveness of the troops. Only in this way can the troops not panic when encountering unexpected situations.
Take the challenge calmly.
Therefore, the commander only frowned and replied: "I can tell you the reason, but it must be kept secret!"
"According to intelligence, in order to recapture Linfen, the Japanese army mobilized 30,000 elite troops from northwestern Shanxi to attack the new regiment, including a heavy mountain artillery regiment, a tank brigade, and a cavalry regiment..."
"It can be said that the New Regiment has reached a critical moment of life and death. If the brigade directly under the direct control does not help, how will it help!"
"Also, the reason why the Directly Affiliated Brigade achieved such great results in the war that just ended. On the one hand, it is because the soldiers sacrificed their lives, and on the other hand, it is because the new regiment set up a good platform for us and created
So many good fighters."
"We can't take advantage and sneak away while watching the new group being wiped out by the enemy's heavy soldiers!"
"Besides, we are all the Eighth Route Army. As long as we are fighting the Japanese, it doesn't matter even if the direct brigade is dismantled now!"
There were 30,000 Japanese troops, and they were all elite troops who had just come down from the front line. The chief of staff was directly frightened.
But he is not someone who has no overall perspective. You must know that the equipment currently used by the direct brigade, including a rifle, was originally supported by the New Regiment.
There is only one reason. We are all members of the Eighth Route Army and the Taiyue Military Region.
He frowned and made a decision: "Commander, please rest assured, I will mobilize the troops now!"
"I will tell the three regiment leaders to try to recruit veterans as much as possible. We can retrain if the veterans are gone. But the new regiment must not be wiped out by the Japs, and the fourth division cannot be occupied by the Japs!"
A day later, at the headquarters of the new regiment, the regiment commander Wang Ping, the political commissar Huang Yuanqiang, the chief of staff Zhong Chenggong, and the five main battalion commanders were all concentrated in the small headquarters. Except for Wang Ping and Huang Yuanqiang, they knew that the Japanese were about to heavy their troops.
When the attack came, I felt worried in my heart. The other five or six people were still immersed in the joy and excitement after winning the battle until now.
"Okay, let's have a meeting now!" It wasn't until Wang Ping spoke that the busy conference room became quiet.
Seeing that the military and political officers of the new regiment all had serious faces, several subordinates realized that something was wrong and quickly sat down to wait for Wang Ping's next words.
"Each battalion should first report the true situation of its own troops!" Wang Ping asked unexpectedly, not satisfying everyone's curiosity.
At Wang Ping's signal, the first battalion commander Xiong Changhe was the first to stand up: "Regiment commander, political commissar, and chief of staff, there are still 386 people in the first battalion who can fight. The recruit company has all replenished the troops, in name only, and the garrison battalion has also been added.
There are more than a hundred people, and there is only one shelf left, less than a hundred people. But the equipment is basically there, and the more than 300 people left are all veterans who have been on the battlefield. As long as qualified soldiers are added, the army will be able to regain its combat effectiveness immediately.
, and the combat effectiveness is only strong, not weak!"
Xiao Yunshan then stood up and reported: "The Second Battalion has 359 people left, and other conditions are similar to those of the First Battalion. In addition, we have nearly 200 lightly or seriously injured people who can recover and return to the army at any time!"
The commander of the third battalion, Yan Song, then stood up and reported: "There are 489 people left in the third battalion, and the recruit company is gone, but there are still more than 210 people in the garrison battalion, and there are 153 lightly or seriously wounded!"
"There are 329 men left in the Fourth Battalion. The other conditions are similar to those of the First and Second Battalions, with 214 minor and serious casualties!" The Evergreen Army of the Fourth Battalion stood up and reported.
Jin Kai, commander of the assault battalion, later reported: "There are still 458 people in the assault battalion who can fight, and there are 132 lightly or seriously wounded..."
It took a full twenty minutes for all the commanders of the units directly under the new regiment, including the cavalry battalion, to finish explaining the situation of the troops.
After the guard company commander Hong Ruijun completed his final report, Zhong Chenggong stood up and concluded: "Regiment commander, political commissar, the main force of the new regiment now has 2,158 combatable soldiers, and there are 628 soldiers left in the four garrison battalions. In addition, we have
There are 1,064 lightly or seriously injured people.”
"In the entire battle, 2,468 people from the main force died, 689 people from the garrison battalion, 158 people from the local guerrillas, and 1,065 civilian casualties!"
Wang Ping, who had been silent until now, finally spoke.
"Comrades, in the battle that just ended, we wiped out thousands of little Japs, even captured Linfen and killed the head of the Japs Major General Brigade, achieving an unprecedented victory. Although the troops paid a heavy price for this
The price is high, but those comrades who died all died on the battlefield fighting the Japs. If they know that we have eliminated so many Japs, I believe they will be very happy!"
"However, what I want to tell you is that this big battle is not over yet. The real hard battle can be said to have just begun now!"
"According to intelligence: In order to retake Linfen and retaliate against us, the Japanese North China Front deployed 30,000 elite troops from the northwest Shanxi front to deal with us. When the commander left, he promised that he would deploy troops from other military divisions to launch attacks from behind the Japanese army.
, holding back at least 10,000 elite Japs!"
"But, even so, we still have to face 20,000 Japs, including a heavy mountain artillery regiment, a cavalry regiment, and a tank brigade!"
"For our current new regiment, the 20,000 elite Japanese troops are definitely an unshakable behemoth."
"It is for this reason that I say that the real hard battle for our new regiment has just begun!"
Xiong Changhe, who has always spoken cheerfully, stuttered for the first time in a combat meeting.
"Captain...you...you are right...the Japanese really mobilized a division...30,000 elite men to deal with us!"
"Only more, not less!" Wang Ping nodded and affirmed.
Xiong Changhe was stunned, and when he reacted, he shouted with a look of despair: "There are so many Japs, and we only have two thousand people, a disparity of ten to one in strength... What's more, the Japs also have heavy artillery and planes. As soon as dawn comes, the battlefield will be
Their world. There is no need to fight this battle, and we have no chance of winning at all."
"Captain, I suggest that the troops abandon the base area, break up into pieces, and fight guerrillas with the Japanese. If that doesn't work, go straight into the mountains and try to avoid a decisive battle. Save as much of the troops as you can!"
