Hong Linfeng agreed with the political commissar’s decision!
Seeing that Li Hao was silent, he hesitated and reminded: "Captain, I also agree to stop establishing guerrilla zones!"
"Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains and traveling to the tiger mountains is not brave, it is risking death."
"The army has finally grown and grown, and it has just experienced a great victory. Now is the best time for us to digest the results and improve the combat effectiveness of the army!"
"So I think it might be a good choice to stop establishing guerrilla zones, seize the time to train troops, and focus on stability."
Li Hao finally spoke, shook his head and said, "No, it cannot be terminated!"
"According to your ideas, the combat effectiveness of the troops can definitely be improved in a short period of time, but no matter how strong the combat effectiveness is, it is impossible to catch up with the Japs."
"So it is too difficult to defeat the opponent with combat power and win in the Japanese army's subsequent retaliatory raids."
Both the political commissar and the chief of staff agreed.
Obviously they all knew that although the garrison had defeated the Japanese in many battles, the strength of the enemy and our armies had not changed. The enemy was still strong and we were weak.
If you want to defeat your opponent head-on on a head-on battlefield, the possibility of success is almost zero.
Li Hao continued: "Since hard resistance is not the answer, then we can only use tricks and fight clever battles with the enemy."
"To do this, we must take the initiative on the battlefield."
"Only when you have the initiative and choose the battlefield and time of the battle yourself can this clever battle be fought."
"But if we want to seize the initiative on the battlefield, establish a guerrilla zone, and force the Japanese to fight us behind enemy lines, it is inevitable."
"So, we must launch the plan to establish a guerrilla zone behind enemy lines!"
"Even if there are no conditions, we must create the conditions ourselves."
Wang Hong looked at Li Hao and asked thoughtfully: "Captain, do you have any ideas?
"Not bad." Li Hao didn't hide anything.
"As the enemy changes, we change. Since the enemy's situation has changed, our action plan must also change. The only thing that does not need to change is the action goal, which is to establish a guerrilla zone behind enemy lines."
"Political Commissar, you just proposed that not only more than 10,000 79-caliber rifles and more than 100 79-caliber light machine guns should be handed over to the headquarters, but also some heavy weapons should be handed over."
"I agree. The regiment headquarters will find a way to prepare 150 grenadiers and 150 light machine guns. It will order the arsenal to repair the machine guns that were damaged on the battlefield as soon as possible. If there are not enough, they will have to use crooked methods."
"In addition, prepare thirty heavy machine guns, thirty mortars, six mountain guns or infantry guns!"
"Prepare one hundred and fifty rounds for each artillery piece."
"Prepare three thousand rounds of ammunition for each heavy machine gun, prepare twenty rounds of special grenades for each grenade, and prepare another twenty thousand grenades, and send them to the headquarters together!"
"Hiss..."
Everyone in the regiment took a deep breath!
He stared at Li Hao with a shocked expression of disbelief!
Wang Hong was the first to react: "Captain, did I hear you correctly?"
"I can understand the delivery of rifles and light machine guns. They are both 79-caliber weapons and do not match the 65-caliber weapons we equip. If they are equipped with troops, it will greatly increase our logistics pressure."
"But those heavy weapons will not affect us, and they are also urgently needed by our garrison!"
"Sending so many weapons at once is equivalent to giving away all the heavy weapons seized this time, and you have to pay for the original investment!"
"In my eyes, you have always taken advantage and never suffered any losses. When did you become so generous!"
Hong Linfeng also reacted at this time and reminded anxiously: "Captain, this battle base area has expanded outward by another thirty kilometers, and the total number of villages and towns in it exceeds 200. The guerrillas and district squadrons in this area,
The county brigade will be formed in the next few months!"
"If all the captured heavy weapons are sent out at once, what will happen to the heavy weapons needed by the county brigade and district squadron? It is impossible for a county brigade to not be equipped with a heavy machine gun or a mortar, right?"
Li Hao shook his head and replied helplessly: "You think I want to give it away?"
"You don't even have enough for yourself, but you still give it to the headquarters. Will you be able to hold on after eating enough?"
"Isn't this a request from the headquarters?"
"Our garrison has many new recruits and few veterans. This is an indisputable fact."
"Among veterans, there are fewer veterans who are good at guerrilla warfare. Don't you deny this?"
"Although guerrilla warfare is the hometown skill of our Eighth Route Army, basically every veteran has it in his heart and knows how to fight with his eyes closed."
"However, our garrison is special in this regard!"
"No matter whether the original independent regiment or the current garrison regiment, when encountering the Japanese, they will either fight mobile warfare or fight a big battle. They rarely disperse their troops like other Eighth Route Army units and fight guerrillas against the Japanese in squads and platoons."
Wang Hong knew the situation of the troops best and immediately agreed: "That's true!"
"I have counted that there are more than 150 cadres and soldiers from the old Red Army in the entire regiment. Now they are basically company cadres and above, and most of them are political cadres who serve as instructors, deputy instructors, and instructors in the army."
"The cadres at the squad and platoon level are basically veterans and prisoners who have been in the Eighth Route Army for more than one year and have been transformed into outstanding soldiers."
"There are even many veterans and prisoners of war who have served as company-level military commanders."
"They really don't know much about guerrilla warfare, especially those cadres who were prisoners of war. They were all engaged in positional warfare and have almost no contact with guerrilla warfare!"
Li Hao said: "They don't understand guerrilla warfare, and those soldiers below certainly don't understand guerrilla warfare."
"And we can't let those company commanders and instructors from the old Red Army go alone to fight guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines, so we can only ask the headquarters."
Wang Hong frowned and replied: "It is indeed a waste of talents to let the company commander and instructors go to fight guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines."
"But Commander, I don't understand. What is the relationship between developing guerrilla zones behind enemy lines and fighting guerrilla warfare?"
Having said this, Wang Hong suddenly reacted!
"Wait a minute, I seem to understand that guerrilla zones and guerrilla warfare are all related to guerrillas. Commander, you want to send people deep into enemy-occupied areas to fight guerrilla warfare against the Japanese in the guerrilla zones we are about to develop. We won't leave."
Li Hao replied with an appreciative look on his face: "The one who knows me is the political commissar."
"As the enemy changed, I changed. I decided to change my style of play and changed the original single attack into an internal and external attack."
"The original offensive plan remains unchanged, but before attacking, we have to take one more step."
"Send a large number of soldiers who are proficient in guerrilla warfare to the enemy-occupied areas, equip them with a sufficient number of weapons, and under the cover of the offensive troops, develop groups behind enemy lines to fight guerrillas with the Japs in the guerrilla areas and act as eyes for our offensive troops."
"The offensive forces and the guerrillas complement each other and cooperate with each other. They will definitely be able to defeat the Japanese's new tactics."
