Chapter 1400 Li Hao Wants White Wolf With Empty Gloves
The Lingqiu Garrison Regiment Headquarters, Laishui Independent Regiment, Huaiyuan Independent Regiment, and Luo Yun lurking in Yixian County successively sent back calls.
Hong Linfeng was amazed while sorting out the statistics of these callbacks.
I didn't expect them to support and trust the garrison so much.
As soon as Li Hao opened his mouth, he decided to send troops without any hesitation.
After counting, he reported with excitement: "Captain, Commander Zhou of the Huaiyuan Independent Regiment promised to send 1,100 troops, including a main battalion, a directly affiliated company, and several artillery platoons, heavy machine gun platoons, and cavalry platoons.
Reconnaissance platoon.”
"Chief of Staff Li of the Independent Regiment personally leads the team and is ready to set off at any time."
"Chief of Staff Li is also an acquaintance of ours. He turned out to be the commander of the 1st Battalion of the Laishui Independent Regiment. He has cooperated with us in many battles and should be easy to get along with."
Seeing Li Hao nodding, Hong Linfeng continued to report: "Commander Chen of the Laishui Independent Regiment promised to send a thousand troops, with mortars, mountain artillery, heavy machine guns, and cavalry all equipped. The commander of the first battalion will personally lead the team and can set off at any time.
."
"Our troops lurking in Yixian County can dispatch 800 people, equipped with five mortars and six heavy machine guns. Wang Xin will personally lead the team."
"The three troops add up to a total of 2,900 people!"
Wang Hong had already vaguely guessed something from the mobilization of these troops. He stared at Li Hao and asked: "Captain, are you going to attack Datong?"
Reinforcements can arrive at any time. The time for Li Hao to wait has undoubtedly arrived, and there is no point in continuing to hide it.
Looking at Wang Hong, he replied decisively: "Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind. Political Commissar, you guessed it right. I want to fight against Datong."
"Three days ago, you and the Chief of Staff said that within a few months, our garrison will not have any offensive capabilities."
"We all think so, and the Japanese will definitely think so too."
"If we go to attack Datong at this time, the little Japanese in Taiyuan City will be beaten to death without even thinking that our defense group is taking action."
"But we don't have troops!" Wang Hong asked subconsciously. This was also a question that Hong Linfeng couldn't understand.
Li Hao looked at the two people and kept laughing, but did not answer immediately.
Wang Hong reacted quickly and immediately thought of the telegram Hong Linfeng had just received.
He raised his eyebrows, stared at Li Hao with a look of disbelief and asked: "Captain, don't you think that our garrison will not send troops on its own, so you will take the troops from Laishui and Huaiyuan Independent Regiment to support us and attack Datong City!"
"No, in addition to the reinforcements sent to us by these two independent regiments, if the battle of Datong really starts, people from the northern Shanxi base area will definitely send people to participate."
"If you really want to take down Datong City like this, you will be a white wolf with nothing to show for it. Isn't it a bit too ungrateful?"
Li Hao shook his head in denial: "Don't worry, political commissar, I, Li Hao, am not so wicked as to risk the lives of friendly troops to fight against the Japs. I will just sit back and enjoy the results."
"In addition to the reinforcements they sent, our garrison will also send troops, and they will be heavy troops to shoulder the main task of attacking Datong."
After hearing Li Hao's answer, Hong Linfeng suddenly became worried and quickly reminded: "Captain, are you going to take the main force of the regiment that has just been restored to full strength to the battlefield?"
"This is absolutely not okay."
"Except for the third battalion, the special agent company, the guard company, the independent company, and the reconnaissance company that are still capable of fighting against the Japs, the other two main battalions are mostly untrained recruits. Letting them go to the battlefield now means they will die.
"
"I firmly oppose it!"
Not only was Li Hao not angry because of Hong Linfeng's objection, but he also liked the current atmosphere of the garrison.
Chief of Staff Hong Linfeng has become more and more experienced in commanding and combat operations, and his overall view has become higher and higher. More importantly, he has his own opinions and ideas.
Unlike before, I could just say whatever I said.
In the early days of the establishment of the garrison regiment, there were few soldiers and few generals, and they often had to fight dangerous battles in which they were put to death. In order to ensure the morale and unity of the troops, there could not be a second voice in the regiment.
Such a command system definitely has more advantages than disadvantages.
It's different now. The garrison team has a great cause. Every decision is related to the safety of thousands of soldiers and tens of thousands of civilians. There can't be any mistakes.
When fighting, don't take risks if you can't help but take risks.
It would be too dangerous and abnormal to engage in any more talk.
Everyone makes mistakes, and I am no exception. Once there is a problem with any decision-making and the chief of staff does not raise it, the base area will definitely suffer a big loss.
Things are getting better now. Chief of Staff Hong Linfeng is becoming more and more competent and mature.
No matter what ideas he puts forward, he can express his opinions, object, or check for omissions and fill in the gaps to ensure that there are no major problems with the orders issued by the regiment headquarters.
Looking at Hong Linfeng, he was very satisfied and comforted: "Chief of Staff, don't worry, look at when I have sent recruits to the battlefield."
"I will issue an order now: the first and second battalions of the main force must not take the initiative to participate in the war without three months of training."
Hong Linfeng asked in confusion: "But Commander, according to your opinion, if we reduce one, two or two battalions, we will have no troops?"
"It's far away, but it's close at hand!" Li Hao answered mysteriously, and then looked at Wang Hong and Hong Linfeng to explain.
"Although the 1st and 2nd Battalions cannot participate in the battle, they can replace the two independent battalions of Laiyuan and Guangling and take their place to confront the Japanese and puppet troops on the blockade, bluffing and defending the base area."
"We discussed three days ago: the defense will not be able to attack within a few months, and the same is true for the Japanese army. We also have poison gas bombs as our trump card, and the Japanese will not dare to attack us rashly."
"The main battalion composed of two new recruits, plus some local troops, will definitely be able to fool the Japanese and puppet troops on the blockade."
"By the time the Japanese react, the two main battalions have regained some combat effectiveness."
"Even if we are still unable to confront the Japanese head-on, it will certainly not be a problem to rely on favorable terrain to engage in guerrilla warfare with them."
"Besides, it won't take us long to attack Datong."
"If everything goes well, Datong will have been captured by then, and the two independent battalions will have returned to their base areas."
"If the Japanese army still wants to take advantage of the situation, we will take advantage of it and prepare several pocket formations in the base area to prevent them from coming back."
Li Hao became more and more excited as he spoke. When he said the last sentence, his clenched fist hit the table in front of him out of excitement, with a completely determined expression.
Hong Linfeng stared at the sand table and thought about Li Hao's method. It took him two minutes to think about it.
Agreed on the spot: "Political Commissar, I think the regiment leader's method is feasible."
"If you are still worried about leaving one or two battalions, we will leave two more cavalry companies."
"The cavalry comes and goes like the wind. Under normal circumstances, they would have no problem raiding two Japanese infantry squadrons."
"Leaving them as mobile troops in the base area will definitely ensure the security of the base area."
"At that time, we can dispatch the two independent battalions of Guangling and Laiyuan, 800 people from Yixian County, the remaining troops of the main regiment, and the reinforcements sent by the Huaiyuan Independent Regiment and Laishui Independent Regiment, with a total strength of more than 6,000 people.
"
"This does not include the heavy artillery battalion, the remaining three cavalry companies of the cavalry battalion, the air defense battalion, and the tank company."
"All in all, there must be 7,000 people going up."
