The equipment level of the Eighth Route Army itself is relatively poor, and in addition to the rapidly expanding number of army personnel, this has led to the fact that the troops cannot be directly looked at in terms of military quality and equipment level.

Even soldiers like He Jicheng, who have been staying in the second and third lines, feel that the level of the third battalion of the new second regiment is too poor, and it is conceivable how many times they have been.

Zhang Yunfei can still understand He Jicheng's thoughts, when their independent regiment cooperated with the main regiment, the main regiment of others used them as a battalion and company-level unit, so he was not at ease, and some troops were also transferred to fight with them.

Although he has always dared to fight, he also knows that in the face of hot weapons, not all battles can be carried down by being tenacious and not afraid of sacrifice.

Zhang Yunfei held the opposite opinion on this, although the combat strength of the three battalions of the new second regiment was not good, but they were all units composed of guerrillas in the Qingling and Pingchuan areas, and now their defense area is also in this area, and they are out-and-out local snakes.

The land is much more familiar than them, and this is actually an advantage, but they don't realize it, or they are a little confused.

Now that the team has expanded and become a regular eight-way, it is a little confusing.

In the past, I was able to fight with the Japanese puppet army, and I relied more on flexible and changeable tactics, but now that there are more people, I am naturally not so flexible.

The reaction ability of the Japanese puppet army is not slow, they have not improved in essence, that is, the guerrillas gathered together, but they have lost their biggest advantage, and the target is naturally bigger, and they have become the best target, and it is strange not to be chased by the Japanese puppet army.

In fact, it's just a matter of mentality, these second-line troops, don't look at themselves as the main force, how to fight guerrilla warfare in the past, how to come now, just adapt and adjust.

After making up his mind, Zhang Yunfei invited two people from the third battalion of the new second regiment over, dragged them to the map, pointed to the map, and said: "Our plan is to start from the periphery of Honglingkou, cut off their contact with the outside world, and take the stronghold of Xingzhuang first. ”

"That Battalion Commander Zhang, our combat target is not Xingzhuang, isn't it a bit ...... for us to do this? As soon as the words of "a little ......" fell, Camp Commander Wang put forward his own opinion.

He almost said that such a plan was a bit too nonsense, and the battle plan of the superiors could be changed so arbitrarily, but in the end, Battalion Commander Wang still closed up.

"Don't you think it's a bit of a waste of money, I don't think so, Xingzhuang is actually a part of the Honglingkou defense system, and it is an important part of it."

Zhang Yunfei had already expected Camp Commander Wang's opposition, and it would be strange if they didn't jump out and raise objections.

Zhang Yunfei once again brought out the set of rhetoric that he persuaded He Jicheng, in short, the main idea is one, that is, Honglingkou and Xingzhuang cannot be viewed separately.

Rather, they looked at them as a whole defense system, so that they did not tamper with the battle plan.

Although he is giving these brainless people a reason to accept, his explanation is not really nonsense, deception and fooling people, these two strongholds originally echo each other, and from the overall point of view, they can indeed be seen as a whole.

"I mean, our battalion is responsible for fighting in the direction of Xingzhuang, including blocking and attacking, and we are responsible for it, but we need your cooperation."

"It is mainly responsible for the vigilance of our two flanks, and serves as our reserve, and with a force, launches a diversion attack on the torture village."

He Jicheng didn't trust their combat effectiveness very much, and Zhang Yunfei also didn't have much expectations for their combat effectiveness, if there was no accident in this battle, they would only do some auxiliary battles.

"As long as you can participate in this battle, I guarantee that most of the weapons and ammunition captured in this battle will be distributed to you, and our battalion only needs to replenish the attrition and allocate a small part."

"This place is your territory, your information is better than ours, the current situation about the specific situation of the village and the arrangement of the enemy, it is up to you to provide, remember, this battle is also not easy, I want detailed information."

"I heard that there are a lot of puppet troops stationed in Xingzhuang, they are the main source of our equipment, as long as you defeat them and seize the weapons in their hands, your predicament can be solved."

The principle of the Eight Roads cadres is stronger than the other, and the will is firm, although Zhang Yunfei has sufficient reasons, but he must persuade them, so he can also be tempted.

This set has been practically applied and tested, and Qi Dajiu has no resistance to this set.

And the two of the three battalions of the new second regiment were obviously no exception, and their eyes immediately lit up.

The commanders and fighters at all levels of the Eighth Route Army, weapons and materials, these are sensitive words, and when they hear this, they are stable and energetic.

At present, they are bothered by the problem of weapons and equipment, and if there are not enough weapons and equipment, it is useless to have personnel alone.

For them, this is a dead loop, without enough weapons and ammunition, there is no ability to annihilate the enemy, and if the enemy is not annihilated, there can be no capture, so they can only consume, no income, and their strength can only get weaker and weaker.

They don't have the ability to break their predicament by themselves, Zhang Yunfei threw such a big bait, they didn't even have the qualifications to resist.

Although Zhang Yunfei is not very worried about their combat effectiveness, this is the strength of a battalion, and no matter how bad the combat effectiveness is, it is better than a company.

"Battalion Commander Zhang, are you sure you want to attack Zhuangzhuang, do you know that there are at least more than 100 devils and more than 200 puppet troops stationed there, and where our troops are still weak." Battalion Commander Wang immediately lost his breath.

Of course, he knew that Xingzhuang was a piece of fat, and the key was to have a good pair of teeth, anyway, with the strength of their battalion before, they could only get around.

Now, they only have two battalions, although the number is still small, but there is more or less the possibility of attacking, and it is not without a chance of victory.

Battalion Commander Wang also began to calculate: "Needless to say, the combat effectiveness of the devils stationed in Xingzhuang is needless to say, even if it is a puppet army, they are different from the puppet army in other places, they are the most hardcore traitor troops, and the devils have spent a lot of effort to set them up." ”

"Although the number of troops is not much, only about 200 people, but all of them are hardcore traitors, and the equipment is definitely the only one in the surrounding puppet army, all of them are devil weapons, not only devil weapons, but also equipped with 92 heavy machine guns, three crooked light machine guns, two grenadiers, and all the rifles are 38 big covers."

This battalion commander Wang is worthy of being the head snake of the ground, and he is very careful about this, and he is worried about the stronghold of Xingzhuang for a day or two, and the strength of their battalion is not enough, or he would have rushed up a long time ago.
