"Captain, you want us to reinforce the mobile battalion and cavalry battalion!" Liu Senyun quickly reacted and stared at Li Hao and asked!
Li Hao shook his head and replied: "To be precise, it's not called reinforcements!"
"On the battlefield, your special agent battalion will be the main combat force!"
"The cavalry battalion and mobile battalion have been training since they were formed, but they haven't really been on the battlefield yet! Let them go to the battlefield and go head-to-head with the Japs. Those new recruits will definitely not be able to adapt. I don't want them to have an accident on the battlefield!"
"So the entire battle will be dominated by the special agent battalion, supplemented by the cavalry battalion and mobile battalion. They will cooperate with you unconditionally!"
"Cadres of the same level, mobile battalion and cavalry battalion must unconditionally obey the command of the special agent battalion!"
"However, this is a daytime battle after all, and there are little Japanese planes watching from the sky!"
"So on the battlefield, even if we have an absolute advantage, we should not rush into head-on confrontation with the Japanese and puppet troops to prevent the Japanese from jumping over the wall and dying together with our attacking troops. The losses would be huge."
"What you need to do is to use the guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare we are good at to save yourselves, kill them in large numbers, and slow down their retreat. You will not be able to reach the county seat before dark!"
"As soon as it gets dark, the little Japanese plane will leave the battlefield!"
"As long as the casualties of the troops are guaranteed, you can fight however you want, and I will never interfere!"
"And when the time comes, the eight attacking troops will turn around to support you."
"But there is one thing. You cannot let your special agent battalion take advantage of all the advantages on the battlefield. You must bring the mobile battalion and the cavalry battalion to fight together, so that the recruits of the two battalions can adapt to the battlefield as soon as possible!"
"This time, I will surround all the Japanese and puppet troops within 30 kilometers of the base area. Except for large strongholds and county towns, I will not spare any Japanese and puppet troops elsewhere!"
Liu Senyun also gradually became serious, thought for a moment and reassured: "Don't worry, captain, the secret service battalion guarantees to complete its mission!"
"But we need to replenish some weapons and ammunition!"
"Especially grenades, machine guns, and landmines that are convenient for mobile warfare and guerrilla warfare!"
Li Hao nodded and replied: "Okay, you can take whatever you like from the weapons and ammunition in the Laiyuan arsenal of the Japs. As long as you can get it and it won't affect marching and combat, I won't impose any restrictions."
"The troops will set off in half an hour. There is still an hour and a half before dawn. It will take nearly an hour for the Japanese plane to arrive at the battlefield. The Taiyuan Japanese army confirmed through the plane that the troops sent by Laiyuan have been killed by us. It will also take at least an hour, plus
The time it takes for the Japanese army to abandon their strongholds and break through means that you must spend five hours running nearly 35 kilometers to the defense line, and then quickly divide your troops and attack each stronghold!"
"I will give orders to the cavalry battalion and mobile battalion in advance. If the Japanese and puppet troops break through early, they will find a way to hold them back until you pass!"
Liu Senyun left the Japanese garrison headquarters in a hurry!
As soon as Li Hao walked away, he ordered Zhou Liang who had already set up the radio station next to him!
"Send a telegram to the political commissar immediately!"
"Deputy Commander Luo stayed behind at the regiment headquarters, and the political commissar led the new barracks and all the political cadres at the regiment headquarters to rush to Laiyuan to receive the prisoners!"
"Laiyuan and the frontline offensive troops captured several thousand prisoners in one night, including both new soldiers and veterans!"
"We must screen as soon as possible, select the veterans who are willing to join our Eighth Route Army, and replenish the troops as soon as possible to ensure combat effectiveness!"
"If they are new recruits recruited by the Japanese army, they must also be screened!"
"Kick out the old, weak and die-hard elements, encourage others to join the Eighth Route Army, set up new battalions, and then train them to serve as reserve recruits for the garrison and replenish the troops at any time!"
At the Japanese military headquarters in Taiyuan City, after the counterattack order was issued, the military commander's nerves that had been tense all night completely relaxed!
Not only did I rest for two hours before dawn, but I also had a hearty breakfast before returning to the war room and waiting for the good news!
The shortcomings and loopholes of the garrison are there. As long as the attack troops dispatched by Laiyuan and Guangling are in place, the imperial army will win this battle!
The army commander is full of confidence in this battle. He believes that it will not take long for good news to come back from the front line!
Major General Nakata Yamaro, the military leader designated by the front army to deal with the garrison!
Before the independent mixed brigade was in place, the imperial army had the opportunity to kill the garrison. Although it was a good thing, Nakata was not happy!
This is equivalent to taking away the military merits that belong to you alive!
Everyone will be dissatisfied!
However, the military commander's rank and position were higher than his own, and being a senior official was overwhelming. No matter how dissatisfied Nakata Yamaro was, he could only endure it.
Then, as a member of the team involved in commanding this counterattack, stay in the war room!
Time passes by, and no news has come back from the front line!
After taking a look at the clock on the wall, Nakata Yamaro keenly sensed something was wrong!
He is a veteran. To be able to become the commander of a major general brigade at less than forty years old, apart from the support of his family, his military exploits are indispensable.
So he has very rich combat experience!
He strode to the sand table to observe, and also received all the telegrams between the military headquarters and Laiyuan and Guangling!
After saying that, Nakata walked to the military commander and reported with a hint of anxiety!
"Sir, judging from the time, the troops dispatched by Laiyuan should have arrived at the front line, but we have not received any news. There must be something wrong here!"
From the bottom of his heart, Nakata Yamaro didn’t want to win this counterattack!
But at least there is still a big picture view!
What's more, the counterattack at hand is related to the lives of thousands of imperial troops!
If everything is lost to the defense team, the defense team will win in the end!
Even if I command an independent mixed brigade to attack the garrison again in the future, the offensive force will be thousands less and the pressure will be greatly increased!
The commander stood up from his seat, walked to the map and fell into deep thought!
But his face has become more and more solemn!
Apparently Nakata Yamaro's words hit home in his heart and made him feel worried!
The chief of staff hesitated and reminded: "Sir, it may have been done by the Eighth Route Army guerrillas and local troops!"
"The troops are most likely to be attacked by sneak attacks when they march in a hurry at night. Therefore, the marching speed will be slowed down. It is not impossible!"
"The attack force sent out by Laiyuan City has nearly two thousand people, and most of them are imperial troops. They are well-equipped and have sufficient ammunition. Even if there is an accident, there will be no movement at all!"
"Also, our battle plan is so thorough, and the garrison regiment does have no troops, so I can't think of any accidents!"
The commander nodded, since he really didn't want anything to go wrong in this battle!
After a moment of hesitation, he ordered: "Waiting for half an hour!"
"Contact the aviation force and dispatch immediately to reinforce the battlefield!"
"Cooperate with the attacking troops, fight quickly, and kill the Eighth Route Army there!"
