Chapter 1194 Putting Nails in the Land of Right and Wrong
"Don't worry, captain, I will call back soon to remind Comrade Xiao Yuan!" Hong Linfeng replied.
Then he continued to report: "There is also a situation reported in the telegram!"
"Captain Xiao used coercion and inducement to lure the Chief of Staff of the Yi County Imperial Association Army to obtain food. In the process, they obtained the positions of five maintenance committee presidents, which are located in Guanshan Town, southwest of Yi County, which is not very far from our base area.
."
"Captain Xiao hopes that we will send out five action teams to form five guerrilla groups in the name of the Sustainability Association, and then slowly grow and build our own armed forces in Yixian County."
"I think it's a good idea."
"With five maintenance committees, if the operation is completed, five platoon-sized guerrillas can be formed. The total strength is nearly two companies."
"A single spark can start a prairie fire. If these troops grow stronger in the future, they may capture Yixian County, allowing our base to expand to another county."
Li Hao stared at the map and thought for a long time before speaking: "It's okay to plant our nails in Yixian, but taking Yixian and developing Yixian into our base area, Chief of Staff, don't even think about it. At least within two years we will
Don’t touch there.”
Hong Linfeng looked puzzled and asked: "Why?"
"The total number of Japanese and puppet troops in Yi County is 3,000. Half of them are stationed in the county seat and the other half are stationed in various strongholds outside the city."
"As long as the ambush troops form combat effectiveness, they can take the initiative to attack and consume the Japanese and puppet troops piecemeal, weakening their strength and expanding the guerrilla zone."
"At that time, the main force will dispatch two main battalions, an artillery company, and a cavalry company to coordinate the attack."
"We can definitely win Yixian County through a pincer attack from inside and outside."
"Then what?" Li Hao asked.
Without waiting for Hong Linfeng to speak, he continued: "After we take Yixian, before we can completely occupy it, the Japanese and puppet troops will mobilize heavy troops to attack us from Peiping and Baoding, and attack us from both sides to recapture Yixian."
"If we retreat in time, the attacking troops can escape intact, but they will definitely suffer heavy losses."
"If we don't retreat in time, we will be in trouble. Not only will the attacking troops not be able to save it, but the ambush we finally developed in Yixian will be killed by the Japanese because of premature exposure."
"More importantly, our channels for obtaining food from Yixian County will also be cut off."
"In that case, the gains outweigh the losses."
"This is impossible?" Hong Linfeng retorted with a look of disbelief.
"We have seen retaliatory counterattacks and raids by the Japanese and puppet troops before. At worst, if the soldiers came to cover up the water and earth, how could the attacking troops be completely defeated?"
Li Hao replied with a serious face: "Because the retaliatory counterattack by the Japanese and puppet troops will be unprecedented. Aircrafts, tanks, and all the heavy weapons we can think of will come over to recapture Yixian County at all costs!"
"This is unrealistic!" Hong Linfeng continued to retort.
"Yixian County is just an ordinary small county, and it is not a strategic location. It is not worthy of such a large-scale war by the Japanese and puppet troops."
Li Hao explained: "Because Yixian is a place of right and wrong."
"Look at the map. Although Yixian County is not a strategic location, its location is very important. It is like a wedge, stuck between Peiping and Baoding."
"Once occupied by us and developed into our base area, half of the ground communication channels between Peiping and Baoding will be cut off by us, and the remaining half of the communication channels will also be under our threat."
"If we rely on Yixian and continue our offensive, the ground connection between Peiping and Baoding may be completely cut off by us at any time."
"Beiping and Baoding are both strategically important military towns for the Japanese army in North China. How could they watch us cut off the connection between the two places and then expose these two important military towns to our eyes and be attacked by us at any time?"
"This is also the reason why the Japanese army deployed 3,000 troops in a small Yi County."
Hong Linfeng suddenly realized and exclaimed: "It's true, it's a pity that you can't eat this piece of fat meat even if it's brought to your mouth!"
Li Hao shook his head and replied: "It's not a pity!"
"Although this piece of fat cannot be eaten, if it is used properly, it will be of great benefit to our defense team."
"So these five nails still have to be hammered in. Maybe these troops can be used to save lives."
"Chief of Staff, Wang Xin, the platoon leader of the first platoon of the reconnaissance company, is pretty good. I met him when the commando team selected new recruits last time. If it weren't for the fact that he was the platoon leader of the reconnaissance company, half a square higher than the ordinary company, and a deputy company-level cadre, the commando team would definitely have
His place."
"Also, this person is smart enough, eclectic, and a good candidate for his own work. It is very suitable for him to lead the team to Yixian County."
"In addition, we will draw five squad leaders from the guard company and the reconnaissance company, five soldiers from the reconnaissance company, and ten soldiers from the guard company, and we will go to Yi County together. Chief of Staff, you will be in charge."
"Five squad leaders serve as presidents of the maintenance committee."
"Under the cover of the maintenance association, each maintenance association will develop a reinforced platoon within half a year."
At the Japanese military headquarters in Taiyuan, the commander's face had not shown a smile for a long time.
In the Battle of Datong, the imperial army severely damaged the attacking troops of the Shanxi-Sui Army.
This was originally a good thing that made people happy. Who would have thought that Cheng Yaojin would appear halfway. The garrison regiment attacked continuously under the eyes of the imperial army, using superior strength to defeat the imperial army's attacking troops one by one, and ended a great victory.
A miserable victory.
Then the garrison was still not satisfied, and took three battles and three victories to capture the three nails that the imperial army had planted in their base area.
That night, telegrams for help from three counties continued to arrive in my hands like snowflakes.
Including himself, everyone in the headquarters was furious, wishing they could kill themselves and kill the siege troops of the garrison.
But the mind is full but the strength is not enough.
The number of troops stationed in Shanxi is getting smaller and smaller, and a lot of precious troops have to be allocated to reinforce Datong to ensure that this coal mine base can continuously provide coal resources to the empire. There are no extra troops to reinforce the three counties.
In the end, they could only watch helplessly as the garrison occupied three county towns.
From then on, it was difficult to see a smile on the commander's face.
On the one hand, he asked the front army for reinforcements to make up for the manpower gap of the Shanxi garrison.
While launching ideological and financial offensives, they instigated a large number of rebellions and bribed other anti-Japanese armed forces operating in Shanxi, and reorganized them into the Imperial Association Army and security forces to assist the imperial army in controlling Shanxi and encircling and suppressing the Eighth Route Army.
At the same time, he was also planning a new round of offensive against the garrison, intending to solve this personal problem at all costs.
"Sir, in the past half month, the imperial army has recruited a bandit force and a guerrilla detachment affiliated with the World War II zone, with a total strength of more than 3,000 people." The chief of staff suddenly walked in and reported.
"The staff decided to reorganize them into a brigade, and the brigade commander will be the commander of the original guerrilla detachment. This is also the promise given to him by the imperial army. After the reorganization, this unit will belong to the Third Army of the Imperial Association Army."
The army commander nodded and affirmed: "Okay, after the adaptation is completed, send them to Datong and let the Chinese kill their own people."
The chief of staff quickly complimented: "Sir, you are wise, so they will stay away from their original defense area."
"In Datong, where I am not familiar with my life, I can only completely obey the orders of the imperial army. If I want to rebel, I will not have a chance."
The commander ignored the flattery and continued to study the map with his head lowered.
