Hong Linfeng stared at Li Hao with big eyes, with a look of disbelief!
At first I thought I heard it wrong!
After confirming that the confident expression on Li Hao's face was correct, he believed what he heard!
The worry on his face not only did not dissipate, but became more and more intense!
He immediately asked: "Captain, you don't want to take the initiative to attack the little devil, do you?"
"Don't be impulsive. It's too risky. There are too many new recruits in the army. Even the training of new recruits has not been completed. How can we fight the Japanese!"
"Sending them to the battlefield now is no different from sending them to death!"
"I am opposed to it, firmly opposed to it! I can support you in everything else and believe in you unconditionally! But I will never agree to this decision of letting a bunch of new recruits go to the battlefield. That is a waste of human life and letting the new recruits die on their own!"
The chief of staff's objection was expected by Li Hao!
This is also a very important reason why Li Hao has never disclosed this operation to everyone!
Now the operation may start at any time, and this operation is too big. If you only rely on yourself to direct it, there will definitely be many things that you cannot consider!
So now it's time to have an honest chat with the Chief of Staff!
After thinking for two minutes with a frown, he replied with a serious face: "Chief of Staff, I have decided that after the spring plowing is over, the troops will take the initiative to attack the Japanese army!"
"Besides me, you are the second person to know about this action!"
Seeing that the chief of staff was about to object subconsciously, Li Hao immediately interrupted: "Don't speak yet, listen to me!"
"According to intelligence, the Japanese army has assembled at least 20,000 people for the next round of mopping up attacks against us, including a heavy artillery unit!"
"If you add the 10,000 Emperor's Association Army just established by the Japanese, that would be 30,000 Japanese puppet troops! I can tell you for sure that even if we have a basis to rely on, we will still lose in this sweep and counter-sweep, and there is no chance of winning.
!”
"I thought about it for a long time and only came up with one solution: "The troops take the initiative to disrupt the Japanese attack plan!"
"Aren't they going to gather nearly 30,000 troops to attack us? Then we will eat more than 10,000 of them first!"
"Then we'll go to their rear and make a big fuss, leaving them with enemies from both sides and unable to attack us!"
"Also, the problem of food shortage in the troops has not been solved!"
"Without food, not only the morale of the military will be in chaos, but the morale of the people will also be in chaos!"
"And as long as we take the initiative to attack and capture all the front-line strongholds placed by the Japanese and puppet troops around us, the food problem will be solved!"
"The commando team and the reconnaissance company sent back a report yesterday: In order to kill us in the next attack, the Japanese are not only massing heavy troops on the front line, but are also frantically hoarding combat supplies on the front line!"
"Food, weapons and ammunition are all being transported to the front line with all their strength!"
"If we kill him now, we will surely seize a large amount of food, weapons and ammunition!"
"There is also a third point: in the eyes of the Japanese, our garrison has been completely reduced to a new army due to large-scale expansion!"
"If new soldiers want to become veterans and then develop combat effectiveness, it will take half a year at the earliest!"
"They never imagined that we would dare to actively attack them after only two months of training, instead of passively defending. Every day when we open our eyes, we pray that they don't attack the base area!"
"So this battle must be very sudden for the Japanese, and they can definitely be caught off guard!"
Hong Linfeng was silent!
I have to admit that the analysis of the group leader Li Hao is correct!
Hong Linfeng has already approved Li Hao's decision in his heart!
But the worried expression on his face did not dissipate!
The disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves is too great!
Not counting the Japanese independent mixed brigades held back by the headquarters, there are more than 10,000 Japanese and puppet troops that have formed combat effectiveness around the base area and in the hinterland of the base area, and 10,000 puppet troops are being formed. There are more than 6,000 Japanese soldiers inside, all of whom have been fighting for a long time.
A veteran of the battlefield!
Looking back at the garrison, the total main force is only over 6,000 people, and they are all new recruits and have not fully formed combat effectiveness. This small force may not even be able to deal with more than 10,000 puppet troops, let alone more than 6,000 elite Japanese soldiers!
Thinking of this, Hong Linfeng frowned even deeper and asked bluntly!
"The key question is how to fight?"
"Captain, we are too weak, and we are still taking the initiative to attack. I can't think of a way to win this battle!"
Li Hao looked serious and answered confidently: "Chief of Staff, you only see the enemy's advantages, and then you are so unsure!"
"In this attack, the disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves is indeed an indisputable fact, and I admit it! But our defense regiment is not without advantages!"
"What advantage?" Hong Linfeng asked, staring at Li Hao!
Comparing the enemy and ourselves, apart from the disadvantages, Hong Linfeng did not see any advantages at all!
"The equipment is ready!" Li Hao gave an astonishing reply!
Then he took out several telegrams: "These are the telegrams sent back by the commando team and the reconnaissance company in the past few days!"
"We can see from their investigation that although the Japanese and puppet troops are large, they are scattered in dozens of strongholds, large and small, on the front line. The number of troops stationed in each stronghold ranges from more than 100 to 400 to 500. The remaining
All Japanese and puppet troops are stationed in the counties, including Laiyuan, Guangling, and Hunyuan counties!"
"Needless to say, heavy weapons. Smaller gun towers are only equipped with grenades, and medium and large strongholds are equipped with mortars. As for mountain artillery, infantry artillery and other heavy weapons, they are all in the hands of the county garrison!"
"Look at us again. The company is equipped with two mortars, and the battalion is equipped with an artillery battery!"
"If all the heavy weapons in the regiment were removed, each company could be equipped with at least two ordinary mortars, two mountain cannons, or three heavy mortars, and three thunder cannons!"
"With so many weapons, even if they are controlled by a group of new soldiers, they can still use their firepower advantage to fight against the Japanese and puppet troops at a stronghold!"
"I admit that the Japanese are very powerful in combat, but no matter how powerful the little Japs are, they are still made of flesh and blood. They are still vulnerable to shells, bullets, and explosive packets!"
"So as long as we formulate the combat plan carefully enough, concentrate our superior troops and firepower, and defeat the Japanese and puppet strongholds on the front line one by one, the final victory will definitely belong to us!"
"By the time the little devil reacts and wants to counterattack, we have already captured and won!"
Having said this, Li Hao no longer hesitated and made a decisive decision!
"This matter is settled like this. This is our only chance to break the situation. We can't let it go no matter what!"
"Now the commando team and the reconnaissance company have gone deep behind enemy lines and begun to investigate the enemy's situation!"
"I ask them to investigate all enemy situations within fifty kilometers around the base area before the end of spring plowing. Not a single soldier of the Japanese and puppet troops can be spared!"
"The arsenal is not idle either, working overtime day and night to produce weapons, ammunition and gunpowder for thunder cannons!"
"In order to make up for the losses on the battlefield, I asked them to produce fifty more flying thunder cannons. I will ensure that each company can be equipped with more than three!"
"If it's blown up on the battlefield, it's broken. Don't feel bad!"
