He frowned and turned his attention to Xiong Changhe: "Old Xiong, is there nothing you can do?"
Xiong Changhe shook his head and replied: "If there was a way, I would have led my troops to get behind the Jaap two or three days ago and beat his remaining troops. How could I wait until now?"
"The Japs are too vigilant. No matter where they are attacked at night, reinforcements will definitely come within ten minutes. In half an hour, the reinforcements can be increased to two infantry brigades. If the time is longer, in one hour, the Japs will
There will also be reinforcements of two thousand cavalry and a chariot brigade~"
"This does not include the artillery equipped by the little devils. Whether it is the mountain artillery directly under the regiment, or the field artillery and heavy mountain artillery strengthened for them, the effective range exceeds three kilometers. Especially those large-caliber mountain artillery, the range directly reaches eight kilometers.
.”
"This means that their reinforcements have not arrived yet, and artillery reinforcements have arrived!"
"Do you think it is possible for us to defeat a Japanese checkpoint that strengthens the team's defense within ten minutes, and then break out from the checkpoint with nearly 2,000 troops?"
"It's impossible..." Liang Cheng is an instructor, but he still has the most basic military knowledge.
Ten minutes can be said to be a long time on the battlefield, but it can also be said to be very short. It is so short that it is used up in a sudden artillery attack, and there is no time for the troops to attack.
After these three words were spoken, the tent where seven or eight people gathered at the camp immediately became quiet, and the atmosphere became more and more solemn as time went by.
The discussion lasted from eight o'clock to nine o'clock in the evening, and several people still had not thought of a solution.
"I don't want to think about it anymore. The group leader has given us this problem. Since there is no solution, we will return this problem to the group leader. The group leader has many ways. As far as I know, there has never been a problem that he can't solve.
." Knowing that he could not wait any longer, Xiong Changhe thought of an impossible solution.
In less than ten minutes, two telegrams appeared in Wang Ping's hand.
One was a reply from Xiong Changhe. He was unable to lead his troops to the enemy's back. The other was an introduction to the real situation on the battlefield, including the checkpoints to strengthen the size of the team. He reported it in as much detail as possible through telegrams.
Seeing Wang Ping's face getting more and more ugly, political commissar Huang Yuanqiang could only stand up and smooth things over.
"Captain, it's not Xiong Changhe's fault. The enemy's blockade is indeed too tight, and they are vigilant. Whether it is a forced breakout or sneaking through, it will be very difficult!"
"Don't he know how to find a way?" Wang Ping replied angrily!
"Ask the regiment headquarters about everything. Why do I want him to be the commander of the first battalion? I might as well make him the commander of the first battalion myself!"
Huang Yuanqiang immediately replied: "Responsibility will be discussed later. If you need to be scolded, you should be punished... What we need most now is to solve the problem. Captain, do you already have a solution?"
"The method I gave him has already been told. Let him divide his troops and attack... This Xiong Changhe must have failed to react!" Wang Ping replied with a frown.
Then he ordered: "Give him a call back and ask him to divide his troops to break out and attack in the east and west. As long as the Japanese on the blockade are mobilized, he will have a chance to successfully break out!"
"Also, when breaking through, give up the heavy weapons in your hands when you have to, and don't be reluctant to give up. There is an infantry brigade left behind the Japs, infantry artillery, mortars, mountain artillery, everything. As long as they get behind the Japs
, all the lost heavy weapons can be recaptured!"
Huang Yuanqiang's eyes lit up: "What a good idea! The troops are well equipped. After a few battles with the Japanese, the commanders and fighters below have even forgotten the guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare that we used to use most and were best at!"
"Captain, what you just proposed is a typical mobile warfare. Mobilize the enemy to fight, so that we have a chance!"
Wang Ping affirmed: "That's right...it's a mobile battle!"
"So I say that Xiong Changhe, the battalion commander, is unqualified. He has even forgotten the special skills of our Eighth Route Army, and he has completely forgotten them!"
At twelve o'clock in the evening, along the nearly 60-kilometer Japanese blockade, apart from the sound of the wind blowing from time to time, the only sound left was the footsteps of Japanese patrols walking back and forth.
As for the other Japanese soldiers, they all got into their tents and slept soundly to save their energy for tomorrow's attack.
A series of sudden screams and explosions of artillery shells suddenly broke the silent atmosphere of the night.
The Xiongcun checkpoint was attacked...
Located in the Xiongcun ambush camp where two large groups of Japanese soldiers were stationed, groups of Japanese soldiers, despite being disheveled, rushed out of the tent immediately, holding weapons and armed belts with two bullet boxes in their hands.
The Japanese captain rushed out of the tent wearing only a military coat, took the telescope and looked at the Xiongcun stronghold where several fireballs were rising.
"Two infantry guns and three mortars. The Eighth Route Army used so many artillery pieces to attack Xiong Village at one time. There must be troops trying to break out of Xiong Village, cross the blockade, and escape from our encirclement!" said the face of the captain of the 136th Regiment.
Not only was he not nervous, but he judged with excitement.
It has been several days since I led a team to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army. Except for encountering some sporadic Eighth Route Army guerrillas, their main force seemed to have disappeared, and I have not even encountered their shadows at all.
Now that the Eighth Route Army finally fell into his hands, the commander's first reaction was to surround them, kill them, and win the first victory in this encirclement and suppression operation!
His eyes flashed and he ordered: "Major Nakamura, deploy two infantry squadrons, plus a heavy machine gun squadron, and a mortar squadron, and attack immediately to reinforce Xiongcun!
"Contact the Third Infantry Brigade and ask them to also attack and participate in the battle to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army's breakout troops!"
"There are not many troops at the Xiongcun checkpoint, and the Eighth Route Army has artillery. They will definitely not be able to hold on until the reinforcements arrive. Therefore, when the reinforcements approach the battlefield, they directly spread out to form an encirclement with a front width of more than 500 meters and kill them.
They are all surrounded!"
"Other troops are on standby. Field artillery, mountain artillery, and heavy artillery are all ready for battle. If we become the main force of the new regiment, they will definitely participate in the battle!"
Near the Third Infantry Brigade of the 136th Regiment of the Japanese Army, Xiong Changhe held up his binoculars and stared motionlessly at their station, which was brightly illuminated by the bonfire.
"The Japs are moving, battalion commander!" The moment Xiong Changhe noticed the Japs moving, Jiang Chao's excited voice rang in his ears.
"Three infantry brigades, artillery, and heavy machine guns have all passed. Only one infantry squadron is left at the station!"
Xiong Changhe's eyes quickly shot out two rays of light.
When Xiong Changhe received Wang Ping's call back, his first reaction was disbelief.
The group leader's proposal was so simple that they never thought about it in the first place.
Now the troops are well-equipped, both in terms of strength and firepower, far exceeding other main regiments of the Eighth Route Army, and they have never thought of breaking out of the encirclement using the original methods of mobile warfare.
Although there was no nonsense in Wang Ping's call back, Xiong Changhe knew that such a simple solution had not occurred to him, and the group leader would definitely be very angry.
Therefore, whether it is for atonement or other reasons, Xiong Changhe must fight this battle to the best of his ability.
After glancing at the watch that had been seized on the little Japs on his wrist, he ordered: "The offensive troops will launch an attack on the Japs checkpoint in Zhoucun in eight minutes. After five minutes of rapid artillery fire, the whole battalion launched an aggressive attack and captured the enemy with lightning speed.
Zhoucun Village. Then the first battalion is responsible for blocking the enemies who may come from the Japs station, and the others quickly break through the Japs checkpoint in Zhoucun, the faster the better!"
