Even though Nakata Yamaro was his opponent, Li Hao still gave a thumbs up.
He praised without hesitation: "This Nakata Yamaro is indeed a veteran on the battlefield. He is not only calm, but also thoughtful."
"The blockade is strictly guarded to prevent our main force from entering the area they occupy. This way they can concentrate their forces to encircle and suppress our guerrillas, thereby killing them all and ensuring the stability of their rear area."
"Good plan."
"However, Nakata Yamaro's idea was destined to fail because he greatly underestimated the strength of our one hundred guerrillas."
"Political Commissar, the Japs have already taken action. Now it's our garrison's turn to take action."
"Order: The second battalion, the third battalion, and the special agent battalion each dispatch a company, strengthen a mountain artillery platoon, a mine artillery squad, and a district squadron of local troops. Bring more mines and ammunition. Set off now and cross the blockade.
March quickly into the areas occupied by the Japanese."
While recording the order, Wang Hong reminded: "Should we let them attack in concealment?"
"After the last counterattack, the Japanese have obviously become more cautious."
"Maybe there are Japanese intelligence agents watching next to the station."
"As soon as the troops were dispatched, the enemy received the news on the back."
"Also, a reinforced company and a squadron of local troops have a total strength of nearly 400 people, and they also bring a large number of heavy weapons and ammunition. The word "huge" cannot be overstated. If we are not prepared in advance,
, it is almost impossible to cross the blockade quietly."
Li Hao shook his head and firmly denied: "There is no need to hide."
"The three attacking troops all marched directly through the blockade with great fanfare and entered the area occupied by the Japanese. The bigger the momentum, the better."
Wang Hong was puzzled and asked with a frown.
"Why?"
"After the attacking troops are exposed, the Japanese will definitely take precautions in advance."
"Why don't we just mobilize the mobile troops to set up a pocket formation for us, and wait for our attacking troops to kill them and fall into the trap."
Li Hao replied firmly: "I just want the little devil to know."
"We have four hundred troops in each attack. We have siege artillery, thunder cannons, mortars, and all kinds of weapons. We can attack when we advance, and we can defend when we retreat."
"The several large strongholds on the blockade cannot be taken down, but the medium-sized strongholds in the occupied areas that they have not yet given up will definitely be captured."
"Especially after they sent troops to encircle and suppress the guerrillas and the number of troops stationed in the strongholds was reduced."
"It will definitely be easier for our attacking troops to capture these strongholds."
"After the Japanese learned about our attack, in order to ensure the safety of these strongholds, they did not dare to send too many troops to encircle and suppress the guerrillas, thereby reducing the pressure on the guerrillas and buying time for the guerrillas to continue to develop and grow."
"As long as the guerrillas continue to develop and have the strength to threaten the Japanese, we will be close to establishing a guerrilla zone."
"As for the worries you just had, political commissar, I don't think it's a problem at all."
Wang Hong frowned and asked: "How could it not be a problem?"
"After the Japanese army knows that we are sending troops, they will definitely deploy a large number of mobile troops to surround us and make dumplings for our attacking troops."
"If by then the pressure on the guerrillas is reduced, but the three-pronged attack force is killed by the Japanese encirclement, then we will suffer a big loss."
Li Hao answered confidently: "Political Commissar, in my opinion, not only Nakata Yamaro has underestimated the strength of our hundred guerrillas, but you have also greatly underestimated their strength."
"Don't forget that the attacking troops did not fight alone after entering the Japanese-occupied areas."
"The Maintenance Council is an eye planted by the Japanese in the place. Now that it has been knocked out by the guerrillas, the eye is gone."
"Commissar, do you know what this means?"
Wang Hong, who had been frowning just now, loosened his eyebrows little by little, and answered with bright eyes: "It means that the place where our guerrillas are active has now become a blind spot for the enemy's investigation."
Li Hao affirmed: "If you add in the large mountainous areas here, the Japanese army's detection blind spot will be even larger."
"I am sure that as long as the attacking troops successfully cross the blockade and meet the corresponding guerrillas, they will disappear under the eyes of the Japanese."
"Then with the cooperation of the guerrillas, they appeared like ghosts in the areas occupied by the Japanese, cooperating with the guerrillas in combat."
"But one thing must be remembered. In order not to attract the attention of the Japanese, the attacking troops must try their best to avoid engaging in a battle of annihilation and capture key points.
"We must accumulate a small amount into a large amount and slowly wear down the Japanese."
"By the time they reacted, the guerrilla zone had been established and the troops suffered heavy casualties."
"Unless we use the independent mixed brigade that is already in place, there is no way to pose a threat to our troops operating in the guerrilla zone."
"In this way, we can achieve the three goals of forcing the Japanese army to form independent mixed brigades to participate in the war, seize the initiative on the battlefield, and fight far away from the base area."
Wang Hong completely understood.
The worried expression on his face disappeared, and his eyes shone brighter and hotter.
It took a long time to react to the surprise that this battle plan brought to me.
He immediately replied: "This is a good idea, leader. I completely agree. Let's make arrangements now."
Li Hao gave the final order: "The troops' attack will definitely affect the hearts of many Japanese and puppet spies in the base area."
"Order the security department to seize the plan and conduct an anti-special operation in the base area."
"At the same time, they should also take this opportunity to extend our intelligence network and further increase our intelligence collection capabilities."
Leshan Village, a village less than five kilometers away from the blockade in the Japanese-occupied area.
Nearly 400 people from the 1st Company of the Special Agent Battalion, plus the area squadron, artillery, 7788, just marched through the Japanese and puppet blockade and arrived here.
Company Commander Li Zhiyong has grown from a new recruit to the commander of the main company in just one year. The speed of promotion is definitely the first for a garrison regiment.
As the most junior company commander in the regiment, his every move attracts the attention of everyone in the regiment, and he urgently needs a military exploit to prove his ability to serve as the commander of the first company of the special agent battalion.
As soon as he ordered the troops to stop and rest, the instructor ran over panting heavily.
"Company commander, why don't you leave?"
"The reconnaissance squad and the security squad have discovered several tongues around. We must have been exposed."
"If we don't leave here quickly, the mobile troops deployed by the Japanese on the blockade will definitely come over soon and surround us here. We will not be able to leave if we try to leave by then."
Li Zhiyong would definitely not make fun of the lives of his nearly four hundred soldiers, and replied very firmly: "Don't worry, the Japanese can't make our dumplings."
"Someone will come over in a while to guide us and disappear right under the noses of the Japanese so that they can never find us again."
"Order the reconnaissance squad and the security squad to continue to expand the warning range."
"When we encounter suspicious persons, we will arrest them all, and soon someone will help us interrogate and deal with them."
Not long after, a middle-aged man was brought over by the guard squad leader, with a box cannon hanging on his waist.
Seeing the instructor's confused look, Li Zhiyong no longer concealed anything and immediately introduced: "Instructor, he is the guerrilla captain who will lead us next and cooperate with our actions. I only found out about this before we set off."
"The regiment headquarters has an order. In order to protect the safety of the guerrillas behind enemy lines, only the two of us know about this matter."
"In order to establish a guerrilla zone behind enemy lines, the regiment headquarters started the layout ten days ago. Captain Zhou in front of us was the one sent by the regiment headquarters ten days ago."
"As for guerrilla captains like Captain Zhou, the regiment headquarters sent out a hundred of them."
"Among them, Captain Zhou is the temporary commander-in-chief of several surrounding guerrilla groups. Let him introduce the specific situation to us first, and then we will decide on the next action plan."
Captain Zhou immediately replied: "Then let's talk while walking."
"This place is too close to the blockade, and the devils may pounce at any time."
"The guest does as the host does."
Li Zhiyong answered readily, then thought for a moment and added: "But there is one more thing that needs to be solved by Captain Zhou before departure."
"We arrested several suspicious people operating nearby along the way. Although there is no direct evidence to prove that they are Japanese and puppet army spies, we are definitely close to them."
"We are not familiar with the people and places here, and we have been fighting all the time. It is impossible to take them with us. So I decided to hand them over to your guerrillas and let you screen them. If they are spies, they will be dealt with directly according to our Eighth Route Army policy. If
They are ordinary people, so we apologize, release them unconditionally, and pay them travel expenses."
Captain Zhou replied without much thought: "Don't worry, Captain Li, I have brought the entire guerrilla team here, and the members inside are all locals. I will definitely be able to find out the identities of those people."
After the handover was completed, the troops followed the guerrillas on a small road and disappeared into the darkness.
Captain Zhou also began to introduce the situation.
"Captain Li, we have organized a total of six guerrilla groups and more than 110 guerrillas to cooperate with the main force. They are all distributed in villages and mountains within a radius of thirty miles."
"Yesterday, two infantry squads and a company of the Imperial Association Army were dispatched from the Liuwang Town stronghold to enter the mountains to encircle and suppress us."
"Now they are being led by our three guerrillas in a circle inside the mountain. We are waiting for the main force to come and kill them."
"There is also a stronghold at Chengguan. They dispatched a reinforced squadron, a battalion of the Imperial Association Army, and also brought mountain artillery and armored vehicles to attack us."
"They are so powerful, they are like a hedgehog covered with thorns, and our guerrillas are rarely equipped with even machine guns."
"The guerrillas have made preparations to retreat to the mountains. Now that the main force is here, we are not afraid anymore."
Before Li Zhiyong could speak, the instructor next to him could not help but rush to suggest: "Company commander, this is fat meat that is put in your mouth."
"I suggest that the troops advance into the mountains and kill the more than a hundred little Japanese who were dragged into the mountains by the guerrillas, and then concentrate their forces to deal with the Japanese and puppet troops who came from the city gate stronghold."
"Since they killed too many troops at once, we can eat them in two parts."
