"With the recent deterioration of the situation, it is necessary for us to expand our living space, and the most important thing is to deter the Japanese. At this stage, the Japanese are trying every means to force us to fight with them, and we cannot fight with them. We
We cannot defeat them at once, both in terms of equipment and tactical literacy."
Han Cheng took the statistics from the battle report and read the numbers clearly to the commanders and soldiers present. Because data cannot lie, war cannot be all data, and there are also human factors.
"The Japanese are now clearing squadrons. It is not easy for us to fight. In terms of firepower, we are not suitable for head-on confrontation with the Japanese. Therefore, our next attack targets will mainly focus on the puppet troops. They
Obtain ammunition and firearms, and if a small group of Japs appears, you can attack directly."
"The one currently stationed in the county is a Japs named Ying Zuo. We don't have any specific information about him. The only information is that there is a large group of Japs in the city. There are also puppet troops stationed nearby, with a number of 3,000 people.
On the left and right, they have carried out joint campaigns with neighboring counties, and they can gather up to 3 brigades of Japanese soldiers and 8,000 puppet troops."
This is already a quite powerful force, at least in this area it is unstoppable.
"The Japanese are also rich. Without money, they can't do this at all. Therefore, they have to engage in a war of attrition against the Japanese. There is no need to spend bullets on the puppet troops. As long as they surrender and hand over their belongings, they can be let go."
Even if there are people present, Han Cheng does not shy away from it at all, which is not embarrassing at all.
"The puppet troops here are street gangsters and hooligans organized by the Japanese. Their fighting power is not very strong. As long as a few people die, they will naturally know how powerful they are. Therefore, when fighting against the puppet troops, the number of people must be large and the fight must be sure.
Be ruthless, otherwise those people will think you are easy to bully."
The people who came to the meeting were shocked because they never expected that the content of the meeting would be so straightforward, but just do what you said.
He has not yet fought against the puppet army. After the fight, Han Cheng realized how stupid it was to say this at the beginning, because some things were beyond his expectation.
"Political Commissar, the Third Battalion will need you to come frequently to do ideological work for the soldiers. I think they have been in a mood recently that is not conducive to the next struggle."
Next, several company commanders took the battalion commander to study the next battle. They must carry out an attack on the Japanese army within a few days and ensure success. Han Cheng was nearby to communicate with the political commissar, and by the way,
I talked about my next work. Although I am the chief of staff, I still have to report what should be reported.
"For the construction of local militias, they still need to be built through relationships within the regiment. Some of the captured firearms can be provided to them. However, they must cooperate with our actions when necessary."
"This is natural. The local militia is still very weak, and we are also looking for suitable opportunities. We plan to train a group of thoughtful and capable soldiers and assign them to villages with better connections to help them establish self-defense in their own villages.
strength."
There are several villages around here, and I am just a battalion, so I can't control them at all. If the Japanese make some sudden moves, all I can do is collect the corpses of these villagers, and that won't work.
"However, the Japanese have always had a zero-tolerance attitude towards these rebels. Last time, a village liaison officer was betrayed and hanged alive at the entrance of the village. No one has dared to collect the body yet."
The political commissar was also quite helpless. From the beginning, they fought against the Japanese with asymmetrical strength. Their troops could fight against several regiments. For example, in the Songhu battlefield, the Japanese army dispatched 200,000 people, plus warships, aircraft and artillery.
Once this is done, the National Government will be unable to resist.
This resulted in a large number of elite soldiers being wasted on the Songhu battlefield, the originally small air force was completely wiped out, and as for the navy, it basically did not exist.
"Then the Japanese think that we are not afraid of us. If our strength can directly go to war with the Japanese, then they will not dare to make such a choice so easily."
"That's for sure."
After the meeting, the action was basically decided. However, intelligence still needs to be collected. It is possible that the action may be advanced due to various reasons.
However, some plans could not keep up with the changes. Kagezu Taijun who was in the city was a little impatient, because his own troops had lost more than 200 people. After several harassments, the casualties were extremely high, especially
The number of casualties on the other side is unknown.
"More than 200 imperial soldiers have been lost. If this continues, my troops will be cannibalized. Inform the security team that they will be responsible for patrols tomorrow and go as deep into each village as possible."
"yes!"
Change the patrols to the garrison, so that there will be no loss of imperial soldiers. For the bunch of trash in the garrison, they don't care how many casualties they have. Even after the fire is handed over, the troops in the city can still attack them.
Support, as for when to support, it depends on whether they can persist.
The order was issued and they were about to go, but these puppet soldiers knew how much they had. If Yingzuo hadn't lost more than 200 Taijun and made Ying Zuo a little anxious, he probably wouldn't have let him train.
"Adjutant Wang, in the afternoon you will take people to Baiyangshu Village, where the imperial army suffered a loss last time, and conduct a thorough investigation. We can't let Taijun suffer a loss there again!"
Captain Huang of the security team said to his confidant and beloved general, who dares not to carry out Taijun's order? He can only say that pulling out a scapegoat will bring happiness to thousands of families.
"Captain Huang, I have an old man and a young man. How can I dare to go to Baiyangshu Village? Last time, Taijun struggled with three teams, and he met the Eighth Route Army halfway. The firepower and equipment are no less than the emperor's.
Army, more than ten imperial troops were killed in one meeting."
"Then I don't care. There's nothing I can do about it, brother. Who asked us to embark on this errand of seeking death? If we don't go, Taijun will kill us. If we go, we will be killed in all directions, which means that no one will die anyway."
"What about you?"
Adjutant Wang suddenly remembered Captain Huang's responsibilities.
"I...I am the captain of the security force. Of course I am responsible for commanding from the rear."
"That won't work. We can't do without you. Think about it, you are commanding from the rear. As soon as Taijun sees you, he says you didn't go to Baiyangshu Village. It will be a crime to be shot at that time."
Captain Huang was obviously a little reluctant. He was going to die. Who would dare to go?
"Okay, I'll take you out of the city."
"What, it only takes a long time for you to send us out of the city!"
