If we fight like this, we can kill at least 300 Japanese and 300 puppet troops in one consecutive trip.
There were more than 600 puppet troops, and many times the main force of the battalion could not kill so many in a big battle.
Just as he was about to nod in agreement, the group leader's repeated explanations before leaving came to his mind, and he swallowed the words that came to his lips.
Shaking his head, he replied with a look of reluctance: "No."
"Before departure, the regiment commander had an order: the attacking troops could not fight big battles in enemy-occupied areas, nor could they fight annihilation battles. They could only fight guerrillas and mobile warfare with the Japanese and puppet troops, and consume the Japanese soldiers bit by bit, so that a little would make a lot more."
"Instructor, the proposal you just made included annihilation wars and major battles, so we can't fight them."
The instructor also received this order, and even after thinking about it, he didn't understand it.
In his opinion, this order was like a tight spell on the attacking troops, making them unable to use their hands and feet during the battle.
He frowned and asked with a look of reluctance: "Company Commander, this is fat meat being put on the lips, can't we make an exception once?"
"No." Li Zhiyong replied firmly.
"Even if the little devil brings this piece of fat to our mouths, we can't eat it. If we can't bear it, we will mess up our plans."
The instructor became more and more confused and directly expressed the questions he had been thinking about all the way.
"Why?"
Li Zhiyong decided to tell everything that the group leader had repeatedly told him before departure.
The instructor is the political leader of the company. If he doesn't understand it, the troops will definitely have a big problem in executing orders. Maybe someone will make an accident on impulse and disobey military orders.
"When I first received the order, I didn't understand it either."
"All the company commanders who went out together didn't understand."
"In order to prevent us from being impulsive on the battlefield, the regiment leader held a secret meeting for a few of us before the army set off. Then I understood and understood what it means to be impatient and mess up big plans."
"According to intelligence, the Japanese independent mixed brigade has at least 4,000 people in place."
"These four thousand little devils are all mobile troops in the hands of the Japanese army and can participate in battle at any time."
"If we make a big noise from the beginning, anger them and make them alert, the Japanese will definitely not sit idly by."
"The group leader analyzed three possibilities for us at that time."
"The first option is for the Japanese to stay still or continue to encircle and suppress us using the old methods."
"This method was rejected by us as soon as it was exported. Japanese commanders are not fools and will not make mistakes twice on the same thing and waste troops in vain."
"The second is for the Japanese to shrink their defenses, order independent mixed brigades to join the battle, and assemble heavy troops to encircle and suppress us."
"This method is the most likely. Once the Japanese do this, the guerrillas and attack troops will be under tremendous pressure."
"Maybe I'll be killed by the Japanese."
"You know, in order to defend the three Japanese and puppet army strongholds in the base area and the five strongholds on the blockade, the main troops are dragged there. We can dispatch up to three reinforced companies and a certain number of local troops for each attack."
"Faced with twice the number of Japanese and puppet troops, we still have the possibility of confrontation."
"If the Japanese and puppet troops deploy several times more troops than we do, and the area where the troops can fight is very small, then we will definitely lose."
"The third possibility is that the Japanese attack directly on our base area."
"Once the Japanese army does this and gathers heavy troops to launch an attack now, it will definitely be a great achievement for our base area."
"Not only will the soldiers and civilians in the base area suffer brutal revenge from the Japanese and puppet troops, but the entire base area will also suffer devastating damage."
"This is the last thing we want to see."
"Let's just fight a war. We must not involve the common people and cause them to suffer losses."
"The first scenario is almost impossible to happen, and the latter two scenarios are the last thing we want to see."
"The only way to avoid these two situations from happening is to prevent the Japanese army from changing the tactics they are using to deal with us. The longer it takes, the better it is for us."
The instructor finally understood and replied with a look of enlightenment: "So we can only fight lightly in enemy-occupied areas, not big ones, especially annihilation battles, so as not to attract the attention of the Japanese army, make them alert, and then change their tactics to deal with us."
"That's what it means." Li Zhiyong affirmed.
"The regiment commander made a calculation for us. One attack force killed dozens of Japs at one time, and only a few dozen of them were assigned to various Japanese and puppet strongholds nearby. The little Japs commander is famous for his good face.
If I were them, these casualties would definitely not be reported and scolded before they achieved results that could be used."
"And that's what we need."
"There were dozens of casualties at one time, but the Japanese front-line commanders didn't care, they didn't take it seriously, and they didn't report it."
"The total of ten sorties is to kill hundreds of little Japs."
"A small amount adds up to a large amount. By the time the Japanese front-line commanders realized the danger, more than half of their troops had been killed or injured."
"At that time, even if they want to change their tactics against us, they will be unable to do so due to lack of troops, and they will have to win our consent."
"According to the tactics you just proposed, instructor, we will definitely be able to kill these two little devils."
"But then what?"
"If my judgment is correct, the little devils in other strongholds will definitely retreat immediately."
"Then adjust your tactics and use new tricks to deal with us."
The instructor completely understood: "Company Commander, I understand everything. I will listen to you on how to fight next."
Li Zhiyong thought for a moment and replied: "In addition to the two Japanese troops that Captain Zhou just reported, I am sure there will be troops coming over in the next two days."
"More than 400 of us disappeared suddenly. It is impossible for the Japanese to remain indifferent. They will definitely send one or two mobile troops over."
"So the enemy we have to face is far stronger than you think."
"I decided to divide the troops to cooperate with the guerrillas in fighting."
"It can not only achieve the effect of troop training, but also consume a large amount of Japanese troops."
"By the way, it also allows the guerrillas to take the opportunity to train their troops and expand their influence and area of activity."
"One squadron leads a squadron to support the guerrillas fighting in the mountains and attack the Japanese there."
"The main force plus the guerrillas will kill at most twenty Japs and we must stop."
"However, I guess after losing twenty people, the Japanese will not continue to stay in the mountains and be beaten passively, following you in circles."
"They will definitely retreat. As long as the Japanese push out of the guerrilla activity area, we will stop fighting and let them leave."
"The platoon leader took the remaining troops and the remaining troops from the first platoon of the district squadron to attack the Japanese reinforcements and use guerrilla warfare to wear them down and force them to retreat."
"Captain Zhou needs to deploy at least one guerrilla team to cooperate with them."
"The guerrillas are familiar with the terrain. With you here, we will be more comfortable fighting guerrilla warfare."
