Chapter nine hundred and twenty seventh again arrogant
"Captain, good news!" Zhong Chenggong stared at Wang Ping and shouted excitedly as soon as he rushed into the war room.
"The direct team reported that at nine o'clock this morning, more than 4,000 Japanese troops suddenly left Linfen and headed towards the direction of the military region!"
Political Commissar Huang Yuanqiang immediately reacted: "The two ambush battles fought by the military region last night must have worked. These little devils have gone to fill the gap!"
Then he analyzed with a smile on his face: "Yesterday we inferred that there were still more than 28,000 Japs, and nearly 20,000 infantry and cavalry. Now if we remove 4,000 people at once, this means that Linfen City can face
There are less than 16,000 Japs left fighting!"
"Excluding the troops left behind to guard Linfen City, they will mobilize 12,000 to 13,000 people to attack us!"
Wang Ping shook his head and replied: "Political Commissar, you think so well!"
"Have you ever seen the power of the Jaap's large-caliber heavy artillery? Let's not talk about the heavy artillery regiment, let's just talk about the field artillery regiment directly under their division. If used properly, it will not play a greater role on the battlefield than an infantry regiment.
.A single artillery fire can easily kill one of our main battalions. As for their heavy artillery regiment, let alone that. On the battlefield, the power of a brigade is equal to that of a field artillery regiment!"
"In addition, there is also the Japanese chariot brigade, more than thirty tanks and armored vehicles, which are all the killer weapons in the hands of the Japanese."
The good mood on Huang Yuanqiang's face suddenly disappeared, and he asked solemnly: "Commander, do you have any way to defeat the enemy?"
"Not yet, I can only try to find out what to do. However, I already have a rough idea." Wang Ping shook his head and answered.
Then he changed the topic and continued: "There is no way at the moment, but the troops cannot be idle!"
"Political Commissar, Chief of Staff, we need to take advantage of the period when the Japs are not ready to further strengthen the training of the troops. That night, the troops were pulled out to fight the Japs. Any problems should have been exposed. Order several battalion commanders,
Training must be strengthened in a targeted manner to ensure the combat effectiveness of the troops!"
Zhong Chenggong immediately replied: "Captain, please rest assured, we will pay close attention to this... However, the army still has an old problem: equipment, equipment is seriously insufficient... Only one-third of the soldiers in the new main battalion have weapons, and the garrison force
The proportion is even lower, with only one fifth of the soldiers having weapons, and almost no heavy weapons!"
"With the war coming soon, we must find a way to equip them with weapons. At least we must ensure that each of them has a rifle, so that they will not go to the battlefield with cold weapons!"
Wang Ping shook his head and replied: "We don't have any weapons now, not even a rifle. Go tell a few battalion commanders that the weapons they are currently equipped with are weapons and equipment that the regiment headquarters secretly appropriated to hand over to Yan'an..."
"In addition, tell them that they can train without weapons. When the war starts, they will have weapons. By then, I require the four newly formed main battalions to be able to fight with weapons. There is no time for them to adapt!
"
"If any battalion commander thinks that the troops cannot train without weapons, you ask him to come to me, and I will directly relieve him of the position of battalion commander. Although our new regiment does not have many weapons, there are still people who can be battalion commanders.
Quite a few!”
Ten days passed in a blink of an eye. Looking at the warehouse that was slowly being filled with supplies and ammunition, Lieutenant General Ito finally couldn't bear it anymore.
He wanted to attack the base of the new regiment, kill the new regiment, avenge the past humiliation, and avenge the division's fallen men.
In the conference room of Novo University, more than a dozen officers of different ranks and above were sitting at attention, waiting for the division commander to give orders.
More than ten days of training are very boring for these field troops formed just for fighting.
Everyone wanted to rush to the battlefield and let the Eighth Route Army see the powerful combat effectiveness of the imperial field troops.
When Lieutenant General Ito and the Chief of Staff came in, a dozen Japanese officers made an agreement and stood up in unison.
It wasn't until the division commander waved his hand for them to sit down that they sat back in their seats, then sat upright and waited for the division commander's lecture.
"Everyone, I believe you all already understand the purpose of my asking everyone to come back and forth. In this case, I will not talk nonsense. Now, please chief of staff to introduce to you the new information we have learned through the intelligence network and our own investigation during this period.
The situation of the regiment!”
"There is a saying in China that if you know yourself and the enemy you will be victorious in any battle. I hope you all listen carefully. Because, next, I will assign combat tasks to you based on the true strength of the new regiment. If there is any incompetence or other circumstances, you need to mention it as soon as possible.
When we actually get to the battlefield, all participating troops must ensure that they defeat the enemy and kill our opponents without any accidents!"
The chief of staff looked very serious. He stood up and said: "Division commander, garrison, after investigation, our opponent, the New Regiment, has a main force of more than 5,000 people, and there are also local troops and guerrillas of 2,000 to 3,000 people."
However, apart from the fact that the main force is well-equipped and has the same level of equipment as our main force, more than half of the local troops and guerrillas are not even equipped with rifles, and almost no heavy weapons!"
"So, after the battle begins, our focus will be on their main force. As long as we kill their main force, the remaining local troops will not be a concern!"
Except for being attacked by the New Group some time ago and being beaten to a disgrace, no one has ever played against the New Group face to face.
When they heard that the main force of the new group only had 5,000 people, everyone turned up their lips and showed a smile full of contempt, and some even laughed out loud.
There is no doubt that they are getting arrogant again.
However, they also had the arrogance to fight all the way to northwestern Shanxi, and they had fought in a battle in which one of their regiments completely annihilated an elite infantry division of the Shanxi-Sui Army.
But now they have a division, a heavy artillery regiment, and a cavalry regiment, but the Eighth Route Army only has five or six thousand men. With such a huge disparity in strength, when they see that on the battlefield, even one person can easily kill them all by spitting.
The chief of staff knows this very well.
He frowned and did not remind these subordinates, but continued to inform.
"The more than 5,000 Eighth Route Army is divided into five battalions, which are powerful in combat and well-equipped. Each main battalion has a thousand people and is equipped with nine heavy machine guns, six mortars, and four infantry guns. In terms of firepower,
, their battalion is already comparable to our infantry brigade!"
"As for combat effectiveness, the most intuitive manifestation is that they once killed one of our mixed brigade on the battlefield. Therefore, in the subsequent heavy encirclement and suppression of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army, all encirclement and suppression troops cannot be separated into brigade units.
Take action and give the new group a chance to kill us!"
"Currently, the four main battalions of these troops are stationed in four counties respectively, and one main battalion is mobile. The intelligence department has figured out the specific locations of these four main battalions. As for the new regiment headquarters and the mobile main battalion, they are stationed in
Near Xiangfen County!”
Sitting opposite the chief of staff, he was also the division's only brigade commander and said directly: "Division commander, this battle is very simple, not as difficult as imagined... I really don't know that the former imperial army was encircling and suppressing the Xinjiang
Why did we fail again and again when we were in a group, even losing Linfen City!"
"My idea is that the troops should be divided into five groups and attack directly towards the ten main battalions of the New Regiment and their regiment headquarters. As long as these main forces are killed, the remaining local troops and guerrillas will not be a concern..."
As soon as the brigade commander finished speaking, several commanders immediately expressed their support.
In their opinion, this is the most direct and easiest way to kill the new group.
However, Lieutenant General Ito did not express an opinion. He stared at the information in his hand with a calm expression, as if he had not heard their conversation.
