Chapter 245 Transportation
Although he was used by Wang Zhengyi and had to be a thug, this is quite depressing, but according to the current situation, cooperating with him is also the best choice.
The current puppet army is basically closely monitored by the devils and does not have much autonomy.
But with Wang Zhengyi, a traitor, he can more or less contain the action ability of the Japanese puppet army, he wants others to fight hard with the Eighth Road, but he doesn't want his team to fight hard with the Eighth Road, he will definitely try his best to delay his troops to reinforce the battlefield.
In view of this, it is impossible for Zhang Yunfei to really pin his hopes on Wang Zhengyi, this guy himself is not so reliable, so he still deploys in the most severe situation.
At the combat meeting, Zhang Yunfei pointed to Shangping, Dale, Zhujiacun and other places on the map: "Our battle is about whether we can gain a firm foothold here, if we are squeezed by the tactics of the Japanese puppet army and escape from New Taipei, it will be a joke." ”
Zhang Yunfei also felt quite a headache, now that they are being attacked by enemies everywhere, this battle must be flexible and mobile, and adjustments must be made according to the battlefield situation, anyway, it is just a point, and they cannot be entangled with the enemy.
They did not have a strict battle plan for this battle, and their battle plan needed to be changed according to the changes in the battlefield situation, which was actually the Eighth Route Army's consistent disruptive tactics.
The Japanese puppet army in this sweep is in a horn situation, they simply do not have enough time to encircle and annihilate one of them, and they cannot take the enemy in a very short time, so they must move to the present, saying that they will not wait for the encirclement and annihilation battle to become reinforcements.
Now the situation is too complicated, and it is useless to plan too carefully, so we can only make tactical adjustments at any time according to the development of the battlefield situation.
This battle is not only a test of his own tactical command ability, but also the requirements for the commanders and fighters of the various units participating in the battle are also quite high; if they make a mistake in judgment or are the slightest careless, it may lead to the entire team falling into danger, and they may even be given a pot by someone.
The enemy is too closely connected, they must disperse the attack, the ambush of ambush, the blocking of reinforcements, whether to fight or to retreat, the timing of this can only be controlled by themselves.
There is no way to do this, in this era of communication, under such conditions, they cannot be notified in time of this chaotic war situation, and they can only rely on their own judgment.
The commanders of the Eighth Route Army are all masters of chaotic warfare, and generally platoon commanders have the experience of commanding operations independently, so we can only hope that they will not let themselves down.
For them, this battle itself is a ruined ship, a battle against the water, there is no way to retreat, it is easy to say that they can win this battle, and they can get out of the cage and siege of the Japanese puppet army.
If they lose or don't act, they have nothing to say, and then they can only obediently leave New Taipei, and now they have no way to retreat.
This is their last chance, and after the Japanese puppet army sweeps away, pillboxes and turrets will be built on their original base areas, and a large number of traitors and plainclothes teams will be active in the village.
At that time, he could only take the risk and pay a heavy price, and go to pull out the stronghold Duantur one by one, and Zhang Yunfei would not fight such a battle.
So now he might as well take the risk of jumping out of the encirclement of the Japanese puppet army, making their plan completely bankrupt, there is really no other better way.
The 3rd Battalion set out overnight on a hillside not far from a road ten miles southwest of Dale to prepare to ambush the convoy of the Japanese puppet army.
According to reliable intelligence, the Japanese puppet army will transport a batch of supplies every three days along this road, and today is the day when the Japanese puppet army transports supplies.
Of course, this reliable information was naturally provided by Wang Zhengyi, and they arrived at the predetermined location in the early morning, and by the time the sky was bright, Zhang Yunfei's department was ready for all the battles.
It is only more than ten miles away from Da Le, and as long as the gunshots go off, the Japanese puppet army of Da Le, will arrive in less than half an hour.
After the sky slowly brightened, Zhang Yunfei held the telescope in his hand and observed towards the south side of the road.
According to the news from Zhang Dadao, a large part of the supplies transported this time were ammunition, which was also one of the sincerity of Wang Zhengyi's cooperation.
Knowing that their three battalions were seriously short of ammunition, they came up with such a way to send them ammunition.
Now the ammunition of their Japanese puppet army is controlled by the so-called advisers of the devils, but it is only guarded by them, not that the puppet army is not allowed to use it.
The reason why the devil controls it so harshly is because the puppet army's performance is unsatisfactory in several sweeping operations, and a large number of weapons are often lost to the Eighth Road.
Seiichi Ogawa learned the lessons of the past and ordered the devil advisors to strictly control the amount of ammunition carried by the puppet army's weapons, but Seiichi Ogawa's approach was not original.
The devils who fought frequently with the Eighth Route Army all knew that the Eighth Route was short of ammunition, and all relied on capture, and under normal circumstances, they would deliberately reduce the amount of ammunition they carried, so as to reduce the risk of being captured by the Eighth Route with a large amount of ammunition.
The puppet army's normal ammunition consumption in the battle devil officers will not care, it is actually replenished, and recently Wang Zhengyi's ammunition consumption has been increasing unconsciously, which has also led to the shortage of ammunition in the troops, and this supply naturally includes a part of the ammunition.
It was not until noon that the devil's transport convoy was late, with a total of 20 carriages and more than 200 puppet soldiers escorting it.
The logistics transportation of the devils is not a truck, but a horse or pack horse, and the truck is also a valuable resource for the devil, and only some more elite divisions will be equipped with trucks.
Naturally, the puppet army will not use extravagant trucks to transport materials to the puppet army, and the puppet army itself usually transports materials directly to donkey carts, ox carts and even wheelbarrows, and Li Ergou has transported materials to the puppet army.
And in this sweep, the materials of the puppet army are uniformly deployed by the devils, so the devils will dispatch the transport team to take charge of the delivery of materials.
Many people can't tell the difference between pulling a horse and a pack horse, in fact, Zhang Yunfei can't tell the difference, in his opinion, the one who pulls the cart is the pull horse, and the one who puts the goods directly in the frame and lets the horse carry it is the pack horse.
And this time, the devil's horses are pulling three-nine two-wheeled baggage carts, twenty cars, this number is also comparable, and the materials pulled in one trip are enough for three or four days for thousands of people.
Looking at the Japanese puppet army that appeared in the binoculars, Zhang Yunfei deeply felt that the commander of this sweep was really an eight-way pass, and he really had a very thorough understanding of the combat habits of the Eighth Route Army.
Just such a small baggage transport team actually sent more than 200 puppet soldiers to escort it, and it was really careful enough not to give a chance at all.
The devil is still very strict about logistics protection, and it is not as easy to fight as people think, in fact, from ancient times to the present, it is not easy to sneak attack logistics.
They didn't have accurate information this time, they were completely prepared, and they really might not be able to take down this transport team.
Judging from their pace and formation, the vigilance of this transport team is not too high, after all, according to intelligence, the area they swept this time, the Eighth Route Army is only a few hundred people, even if the Eighth Route Army is coming, they are not afraid, this place is so close to Dale, reinforcements will arrive soon, no matter from which point of view, there is no danger.
And they will walk this road every three days, there has never been a problem, not even harassment, over time, they have relaxed their vigilance, there is no need to be so nervous.
