At the Eighth Route Army headquarters, after reading the telegram handed over by the communications staff, the deputy chief of staff almost jumped up with excitement and immediately reported!
"Boss, what a great victory!"
"Once again we underestimated Comrade Li Hao's ability and the combat effectiveness of the garrison!"
"The Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region telegraphed that the newly reorganized Lingqiu garrison not only blocked the joint air-ground attack of four reinforced Japanese brigades this afternoon, but also killed at least two thousand elite Japs in street fighting!"
"The Japanese army collapsed in Lingqiu City and lost many troops and generals. In order to avoid greater losses, they have stopped attacking!"
"That's not all. In order to ensure that they have an absolute advantage in strength in Lingqiu City and kill all the garrison groups to prevent them from breaking out and escaping, the Japanese have deployed three reinforced brigades from the front line to reinforce Lingqiu!"
"The Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region has ordered the troops along the route to hold back these three brigades at all costs!"
"At the same time, the troops in the base area are ordered to seize the opportunity to counterattack, and they also fight a few victorious battles in the base area. The cumulative effect is to put pressure on the Japanese mopping up troops, reduce the pressure on the garrison, force the Japanese to retreat, and end this big sweep!"
"After killing more than two thousand Japs in one afternoon, can we be sure that the results are true?" The deputy commander couldn't sit still anymore and stared at the deputy chief of staff and asked!
"There's no way to be sure!" the deputy chief of staff replied, shaking his head!
"The enemy and we are at war. The entire Lingqiu has been blocked by the Japanese. There are battlefields everywhere. It is impossible to be sure!"
"But I believe this result is true, even if the little devil denies it!"
"If the Japanese didn't lose their troops in Lingqiu City, they wouldn't take the risk to mobilize troops from the front line!"
"You know, after the Japanese army transferred four reinforcement brigades from the front line at one time two days ago, their military strength no longer has the upper hand!"
"Now that three reinforcement brigades have been transferred, the blockade that the raiding forces have worked so hard to build will definitely have a large number of gaps due to insufficient troops!"
"In this case, our troops will have too many opportunities to take advantage of!"
"I don't believe that the little Japanese commander doesn't know about this situation, so he can take the risk of deploying troops from the front line. Apart from this reason, I can't think of any other reason!"
The deputy commander affirmed: "Yes, the little devil's actions are the best proof!"
"Even if others still don't believe it, the garrison regiment defended Lingqiu City under the fierce attack of four strengthened Japanese brigades. This is an indisputable fact that no one can be sure of!"
"Chief of Staff, you immediately draft a message and report the results of the garrison to Chongqing and let them take a look. A garrison of our Eighth Route Army can fight tough battles!"
"Let's see who dares to say that our Eighth Route Army is wandering without attacking!"
After saying that, the boss looked at the map, and finally fixed his sights on Lingqiu!
"Judging from the current situation, Lingqiu City has unknowingly become the focus of the entire sweep and counter-sweep!"
"The Japanese army takes Lingqiu and kills the garrison, so they can concentrate more troops to continue raiding the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base area!"
"If the garrison defends Lingqiu and continues to cause heavy casualties to the Japanese army in Lingqiu, the Japanese army will definitely send more troops from the front line to reinforce Lingqiu until the garrison is eliminated and Lingqiu is recaptured!"
"In this way, the anti-mopping pressure on the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base area will be further reduced, and there will be more fighters on the battlefield that are beneficial to our Eighth Route Army!"
The deputy chief of staff replied seriously: "You can say that!"
"After Chongqing reorganized the Independent Regiment into a garrison regiment and recognized the military exploits of the garrison regiment in capturing the leader of the Japanese Major General Brigade, this good news spread throughout the country during the day today!"
"The people were all excited, and anti-Japanese demonstrations were even held in many places!"
"Because of this incident, the people's enthusiasm and confidence in the war of resistance have increased a lot, and it has also greatly inspired the anti-Japanese soldiers on the front line!"
"This is a devastating blow to the Japanese!"
"Not only have they lost face internationally, but the pressure on the domestic battlefield has also increased. The dream of conquering our Chinese army and conquering our people has also become more and more distant!"
"According to our insider report lurking in the Japanese North China Front headquarters, their commander was not only furious, but he also received a domestic warning!"
"In this case, if the Japanese want to restore their reputation and suppress the enthusiasm of anti-Japanese resistance in the country, they have only one way. Kill the independent group immediately. The sooner the better!"
"So the Japanese will definitely take back Lingqiu from the garrison at all costs, kill the garrison, and wash away the shame they have suffered!"
The deputy commander's face became more and more serious!
After thinking for a long time, he made a decision: "In that case, let's play a big game of chess with the Japs with Lingqiu City as the center!"
"The garrison regiment killed more than 2,000 Japs in one afternoon through street fighting. The remaining Japs in Lingqiu City must not have the confidence to wipe out the garrison regiment in one fell swoop. They had no choice but to mobilize troops from the front line to ensure their strength advantage in Lingqiu!"
"In this case, we will order the garrison to hold on in Lingqiu City for a few more days!"
"The longer they persist in Lingqiu City and the more Japanese they eliminate, the greater the determination of the Japanese army to eliminate them will be, and the more time they will have to fight, they will have to mobilize more troops from the front line to Lingqiu!"
"I just thought about it. As long as the Japanese army takes away two more reinforced brigades from the front line, their mopping up blockade will be full of loopholes!"
"The distance between the mopping up troops will also increase greatly, and some troops may even become lone troops!"
"I believe that the remaining troops in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base are all elite, not cowards!"
"As long as we give them the opportunity, they can fight several beautiful battles of annihilation just like the garrison!"
"The counter-mopping up plan just reported by the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region is very good, but the result is just to win the counter-mopping up!"
"My idea is that the bigger we take this step and the bolder we are, we will not only win this counter-mopping up, but also severely inflict heavy damage on the Japanese and kill them in large numbers!"
"In this way, after the sweep is over, the little Japanese who lost their troops will not be able to recover for at least half a year and threaten us again! This will invisibly create more time and opportunities for the future development of the base area!"
The deputy staff officer did not answer immediately, he frowned and fell into thought!
It took a long time before he answered: "Boss, if this happens, the pressure the defense team will bear will be extraordinary!"
"Maybe the garrison will really fall into Lingqiu City and the whole army will be destroyed!"
A flash of hesitation flashed across the deputy commander's face, but his expression soon became firm again: "I believe Comrade Li Hao!"
"He withstood the combined air and ground attacks of the four reinforced brigades, and he even pulled out all the stops, killing more than two thousand people under the noses of the Japanese!"
"As long as we can find a way to delay the Japanese reinforcements, the garrison will have to face the two brigades that are about to arrive on the battlefield!"
"The four reinforced brigades that Lingqiu City originally had have lost more than 2,000 combat troops all at once. Even if there are still a lot of troops left, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. I believe Li Hao can handle it!"
"I understand!" the deputy chief of staff suddenly realized!
"On the surface, it seems that we have given all the pressure to fight against the raids on the independent group, but in fact this is not the case!"
"We just regard the garrison as a focus of the entire counter-mopping operation, a bait, a bait to attract the Japanese to keep coming back for reinforcements!"
"What the garrison is really facing are six brigades, four of which have been disabled by them."
"But as long as they are still in Lingqiu City, the garrison will be like a sharp sword, always hanging over the heads of the Japanese, threatening them, destroying their morale, and increasing the enthusiasm of the domestic military and civilians to resist Japan. The longer it takes, the better it is for us.
, the worse it is for them!”
"At that time, even if the little Japanese commander in Taiyuan does not want to continue to mobilize troops out of reason, the North China Front Army will take into account the political influence, force them to mobilize troops, and immediately capture the garrison at all costs, remove the threat, and give them
Let’s give an explanation within the country!”
"If the three brigades just transferred are held back by people from the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, the Japanese will have no choice but to continue to transfer troops from other places on the front line. In this way, our goal will be achieved!"
"Not bad!" the deputy commander affirmed!
"What the garrison really has to face is the four existing brigades in Lingqiu and the two brigades that are about to arrive!"
"As for the follow-up reinforcements, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region will send people to deal with them!"
"Use the garrison as a bait to completely disrupt the enemy's raiding plan!"
"The Japanese are in chaos and there are fewer troops on the front line, so fighter planes will appear in front of us!"
The deputy chief of staff immediately supported: "I agree!"
The deputy commander-in-chief reacted quickly and immediately began to issue orders: "Send a telegram to the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, forward it to the garrison, and tell Li Hao that the garrison will persist in Lingqiu City for at least three days. Through their persistence, we will completely defeat the enemy."
The plan of the Japanese army to raid the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region”
"After three days, the garrison will choose its own opportunity to break out!"
"In order to reduce the defensive pressure on the garrison, from now on the Japanese reinforcements from the front line will be sent by the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region to hold them back and ensure that they have no chance of reaching Lingqiu City within three days!"
"By the way, tell Li Hao, let me fight in Lingqiu City. If possible, we can win another big victory and force the little devil to continue to mobilize troops to Lingqiu City!
"The headquarters promises that no matter how much the garrison loses in Lingqiu City, after the battle, the headquarters will send 1,500 new soldiers to supplement them, and funds and equipment will be replenished as much as possible! Ensure that the garrison regains its combat effectiveness as soon as possible!"
"Order the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region to hold back the Japanese reinforcements of the three infantry brigades in Lingqiu at all costs!"
"Once the three infantry brigades are held back, the Japanese army will definitely continue to mobilize troops from the front line!"
"By then, the Japanese army's sweep of the blockade will definitely be full of loopholes, the troops will be scattered, and there will even be some lone troops!"
"The main force of the military region must seize this opportunity, look for fighter opportunities, fight more annihilation battles, and severely damage the enemy's mopping up troops!"
