Communications platoon leader Zhou Liang suddenly rushed to me and reported while breathing heavily!
"Regiment commander, political commissar, commando team and reconnaissance company report urgently."
"Didn't they go to the Japs-occupied areas in advance to check out the situation and create conditions for us to establish guerrilla zones? Could it be that after this defeat, the Japs there have also changed." Wang Hong frowned and muttered to himself, with a very unhappy look on his face.
nice.
"Eighty percent yes, otherwise they wouldn't have sent us a telegram suddenly." Hong Linfeng agreed, his face becoming more and more solemn.
A bad premonition flashed through Li Hao's mind.
If something unexpected happened in the area occupied by the Japanese, his plan to establish a guerrilla zone there might come to nothing.
Staring at Zhou Liang, he asked in a deep voice: "What is the specific matter?"
"Nakata Yamaro, the leader of the Japanese independent mixed brigade, has led a brigade to the front line." Zhou Liang reported seriously.
"They confirmed by scratching their tongues that the Japanese military headquarters has handed over all the garrisons within 50 kilometers of our base area to Nakata Yamaro for control, and unified command of the more than 10,000 puppet troops around us!"
"As soon as Nakata Yamaro arrived at the front line, he ordered his controlled troops to shrink their defenses!"
"Abandon all small strongholds and isolated gun towers, concentrate our forces to defend medium and large strongholds and traffic arteries, and begin to expand the Imperial Army!"
“But the expansion is not that big this time!”
"It's just an expansion based on the original Imperial Army troops, no new troops have been formed!"
Hong Linfeng replied in a deep voice: "Commander, will the devil gain wisdom by eating one cup?"
"After we just organized 10,000 new soldiers to make wedding clothes for us, we immediately adjusted our deployment to prevent the same thing from happening again."
"It is a very safe method to carry out small-scale expansion based on the old army!"
"While ensuring the combat effectiveness of the old troops, the number of troops is gradually increased, and veterans are used to lead new recruits so that the new recruits can quickly achieve combat effectiveness."
"It won't take long for the entire unit's combat effectiveness to be greatly enhanced by the addition of new recruits!"
"It seems that this Nakata Yamaro is more difficult to deal with than we expected."
The bad premonition in his mind became reality, Li Hao's face darkened, and he answered with a frown!
"The shrinking defense technique is also very powerful!"
"Our original idea was to attack the Japanese-occupied areas in company units, target small strongholds and isolated gun towers, defeat them one by one, turn the place upside down, and establish a guerrilla zone!"
"If Nakata Yamaro makes such a move, our plan will be completely ruined!"
"After the limited forces are concentrated in medium and large strongholds and traffic arteries, even if the attacking troops carry siege artillery, it will be difficult to capture them in a short time!"
"The Japanese have formed mobile troops along the blockade, and they must have also formed many mobile troops in large strongholds and county towns in the occupied areas!"
Zhou Liang suddenly interrupted: "Yes, leader."
"The commando team and the reconnaissance company reported that all large strongholds in the Japanese-occupied areas have been strengthened with armored vehicles and transport vehicles!"
"They counted that the Japanese army formed at least ten mobile troops in this occupied area!"
Li Hao's face became increasingly serious, and he sighed and replied: "That's right."
"As long as our attacking troops take action, the newly formed mobile troops of the Japanese will take the opportunity to rush to the battlefield, form a large encirclement behind our attacking troops, attack them from both inside and outside, and make dumplings out of them all!"
"In addition, even if we bypass these strongholds and only attack the maintenance committee and traitor agents, it will be difficult to escape unscathed!"
"When troops enter their occupied area, they will be targeted by spies and traitors everywhere. No move can escape the eyes of the Japanese army. At that time, mobile troops and stronghold garrison can still cooperate with each other to surround us in their occupied area and then eat us!
"
Wang Hong suddenly suggested: "Is it possible to turn defeat into victory by sending more troops to attack?"
Li Hao shook his head and said in denial: "No!"
"First of all, the three Japanese strongholds in the base area must be monitored by troops."
"The Japanese fell into our trap last time, and they will definitely not be fooled again this time. They will keep an eye on our troops blocking the outside of the stronghold!"
"Once there is any abnormal movement, they will definitely seize the opportunity, take the initiative, and cause destruction in our base area!"
"Then there are five large strongholds that the Japanese army is building along the blockade!"
"If the Japanese army does not shrink their defenses and continue to spread their troops across a hundred kilometers of defense line, then they will have no choice but to defend!"
"So it turns out that when we made the attack plan, the mobile battalion and the special agent battalion were also included in the attack plan!"
"It's no longer possible. The Japanese army has concentrated its forces to defend five large strongholds and established five mobile troops. Then these two battalions cannot move. We must keep an eye on them to prevent them from sending mobile troops into our base area!"
"They are equipped with cars and armored vehicles and can maneuver very quickly. Under the cover of aircraft, they can attack more than 100 kilometers in a day without any problem!"
"I don't want the hinterland of the base to be threatened at any time. Today a village will be attacked, and tomorrow a local army will be killed, causing people in the base to panic!"
"So the mobile battalion and the special agent battalion must keep an eye on these five strongholds, especially their newly formed mobile troops!"
"In this way, the main force of the army will be dragged around eight strongholds!"
"We only have four reinforced companies left that can be dispatched at one time."
"And the Japanese-occupied areas have more than a dozen mobile troops, as well as a large number of strongholds, maintenance committees, and traitor agents!"
"It's too dangerous for four reinforced companies to rush in rashly. It's easy for the Japanese mobile troops to make dumplings!"
Li Hao’s analysis is very thorough!
To sum up, in one sentence, Nakata Yamaro's first decision after taking office was to interrupt all the ways the garrison could establish a guerrilla zone!
The faces of several people are very ugly!
Some people frowned, and some people looked heavy!
All in silence, thinking of solutions!
Five minutes have passed, and still no one has spoken, but the expressions on everyone's faces are obviously more solemn than before, and the frowns on their brows are getting deeper and deeper!
Wang Hong is the political commissar and the final gatekeeper of the army. He has his own principles of doing things.
We must never allow the garrison to happen to the garrison, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, but preferring the tiger in the mountains. This will bring the garrison into a dangerous situation and eventually lead to a dead end!
After hesitating for a long time, he first broke the atmosphere: "Commander, I suggest that the action of establishing a guerrilla zone be terminated!"
"For the time being, the troops are mainly focused on digesting the results of the battle and strengthening training, especially those recruits who have been converted from prisoners, so that they can form combat effectiveness as soon as possible!"
"As long as the troops are strong enough, we can still win the counter-mopping up!"
"Although the anti-mopping battlefield will be in the base area, causing huge losses to the soldiers and civilians in the base area! But I think some things are unavoidable. War is fair. We just took a big advantage from the devils, and the devils will take advantage of us. You come and I go.
, it is too difficult and almost impossible to only take advantage without suffering any losses."
Li Hao said nothing with a sullen face!
War is fair to both the enemy and us. He strongly agrees with this statement!
However, knowing clearly that the Japanese would take advantage of the garrison, but doing nothing and being beaten passively, that was not Li Hao's fighting style.
