After a long silence, Huang Sheng was the first to break the increasingly oppressive atmosphere in the tent.
"Captain, we are definitely better at fighting guerrilla warfare, but the Japanese are not patient either."
"Last night, several of our guerrilla groups attacked the Japanese camp at night, but all failed and nearly a hundred guerrillas were lost."
"I've studied the Japanese's arrangements. Even if I were there at the time, I still wouldn't be able to take advantage."
"The devils surrounded the common people and set up camp, using the common people as hostages and forcing us to give up using artillery to sneak attack them from long distances."
"Then place a large number of mortars on standby?"
"The gunfire will be fired wherever the gun is fired around the station, and the artillery fire will directly cover the surrounding area of 40 to 50 meters."
"Even if we fire a shot and move a position, we can't run so far in just a few seconds."
"After all, when moving troops, we have to consider the enemy's counterattack firepower."
"Bullets are flying overhead, and a small accident may result in a headshot, so everyone must be very careful when moving."
"But in this way, the transfer speed will be slow, and we will not be able to escape the coverage of the Japanese artillery fire."
"In this case, the only thing we can do is to avoid the battle and wait for new fighters."
"When they are camping, the artillery can be on standby 24 hours a day to cover our sneak attack troops with artillery fire at any time."
"But as soon as they are walking, marching or fighting, the artillery response speed is not that fast."
"The sneak attack troops will definitely have enough time to withdraw from their artillery fire coverage, making their artillery counterattack ineffective."
"If I fight guerrilla like this, I can only take advantage and not suffer any losses."
"So I have an idea. It is okay to fight guerrillas with the Japanese, and we will definitely be better, but it cannot have too many goals. For example, how many Japanese must be eliminated in one night?"
The other two battalion commanders obviously had the same little idea.
As soon as Huang Sheng finished speaking, he looked at Li Hao eagerly, hoping that he would agree.
"no!"
The leader refused without hesitation.
"Without a purpose, the little devils can do whatever they want in the guerrilla zone, and the people will definitely suffer in the end!"
"Also, what is the purpose of why we have gone to great lengths to establish a guerrilla zone here and fight far away from the base area? Has everyone forgotten it?"
Huang Sheng shook his head and replied: "Captain, I have not forgotten."
"The purpose is to drag the Japanese in the guerrilla zone and control the entire anti-mopping up war within the guerrilla zone without spreading to the base area."
"Otherwise, the base area we have worked so hard to establish will definitely be destroyed by the Japanese raids and suffer heavy losses."
"It's good that I haven't forgotten." Li Hao replied.
Following the change of subject, he added: "But, I also ask you to rest assured."
"The requirements I set for you will never be the kind of death orders that Camp Commander Huang just mentioned. For example, how many Japanese soldiers must be eliminated in one night, or how many miles the Japanese army must be controlled in a day, etc."
"I only have two requests for you."
"First, starting from tomorrow, I don't care how you attack me, or how many Japs you can eliminate, but I must drag the independent mixed brigade in the guerrilla zone for at least fifteen days to buy time for the troops left behind in the base area to open a breakthrough.
."
"Second, during the entire battle, the life safety of the people in the guerrilla zone must be guaranteed."
"Although this is not a base area, we are all Chinese and our compatriots."
"And everyone should know that the captive soldiers that the regiment headquarters gave you last time and the more than 3,000 additional soldiers that I brought last night all live in the guerrilla zone."
"If the people here suffer heavy casualties in the battle, these soldiers will definitely be shaken in morale."
"Solid fortresses are usually breached from the inside. I don't want any of the troops in the garrison to lose their morale during the battle. They can't even touch the Japanese hair and eventually collapse."
After speaking, Li Hao looked at the three battalion commanders, waiting for their reactions.
The three people also looked at Li Hao. After waiting for a long time without seeing Li Hao speak, Huang Sheng hesitated for a moment and asked with disbelief on his face: "Captain, are these two requirements and there is no more?"
"Only these two points!" Li Hao replied very firmly.
The worry on Huang Sheng's face disappeared, and he looked at Li Hao's confident reply: "Captain, if there are only these two requirements, I promise to defeat the Japanese with guerrilla warfare and let the Japanese know that our Eighth Route Army is the ancestor of guerrilla warfare."
"I am confident too." Zhang Yun and Liu Senyun replied not to be outdone.
Li Hao's goal was achieved.
Facing powerful enemies, confidence returned to their faces.
I was very satisfied with the answer: "I believe you, but we must remember that strategically we can despise our opponents, but tactically we must pay attention to our opponents, and we must pay special attention to them."
"After all, the strength of the independent mixed brigade lies there."
"In order to ensure that everyone has enough troops to deal with the Japanese in the next half month of fighting, I have decided to give you the supplementary troops I brought last night now."
"Fighting for two consecutive nights, you should have captured a lot of equipment."
"Those supplementary troops basically came empty-handed."
"Give it to you now, just to give them more time to familiarize themselves with the equipment before going to the battlefield."
"I will temporarily give one thousand additional soldiers to each battalion."
"We ask everyone to use the method of veterans leading new recruits during the battle, sending them all to the battlefield for rotation training, and then replenishing the troops at any time to ensure that the troops are fully staffed."
“One last thing to remind everyone.”
"When fighting guerrillas, we must ensure smooth communication between the various units."
"Once an assembly order is received, the troops must assemble unconditionally and rush to their destination within the specified time."
"At the same time, during the guerrilla war, I will assign tasks to different troops according to the battle situation. For these tasks, the participating troops must complete them unconditionally and at all costs. We cannot use the same guerrilla tactics as executing orders."
The arrival of the independent mixed brigade greatly emboldened the Japanese and puppet troops stationed in various places, completely forgetting that they were beaten to the point of running away last night.
Toyota Town stronghold, in order to welcome the independent mixed brigade.
The inferior puppet troops were directly driven out of the stronghold by the Japanese army and temporarily stationed in the open space around the stronghold to make room for the independent mixed brigade that hurried over.
Even so, nearly three thousand imperial troops poured in at once. The stronghold was still so tightly packed that there was not even a place to stay.
In the conference room, the captain of the Colonel Corps led by the independent mixed brigade sat at the head of the table. His officers above the rank of Major and the commander of the stronghold garrison sat on both sides with respectful expressions on their faces, waiting for the captain to speak.
