Li Hao did not tell the political commissar and Wang Hong exactly where they were going to fight.

This idea was just out of his mind, and the operational idea was very bold, and it also needed the cooperation of the independent regiment, and he had to think about everything before he could make up his mind.

After Wang Hong and Hong Linfeng left the headquarters, Li Hao strode up to Commander Zhou and asked, "Commander Zhou, what do you think our garrison regiment should do next?" ”

After getting along for nearly a month, Head Zhou knew that Li Hao was a person who didn't like nonsense, so he replied to Li Hao's gaze: "My thoughts are the same as those of Head Li." ”

"As long as the garrison still has the strength to fight, it will continue to fight."

"I judge that after this defeat, the devil will definitely order the Western Road sweeping troops to march quickly and withdraw from the base area, and then divide the troops to defend the no-man's land, block the garrison regiment in the base area, and then attack after regaining strength."

"If I were Regiment Commander Li, I would definitely concentrate all my forces and take the initiative to attack the Japanese puppet army in the no-man's land while the devils were defeated and their morale was low."

"Now that we kill one more Japanese puppet army, there will be less combat pressure in the future, and the troops will have more time to rest and recuperate."

"And the garrison regiment is fully capable of continuing to attack the Japanese puppet army in the no-man's land."

"If you look at the map, there are less than 10,000 Japanese puppet troops left in the western sweeping force and no man's land, and the no man's land is so big, the large stronghold is garrisoned by a maximum of 1,000 people, and the small stronghold is only two or three hundred people."

"Although the garrison lost troops in this counter-sweep, it did not reach the point where there were no soldiers available."

"Let's get together, there are still five or six main companies."

"On top of that, the garrison regiment has more than a hundred artillery pieces of various calibers and types."

"A main force company strengthens three or four siege artillery, seven or eight mortars, and a dozen heavy machine guns, and it is absolutely easy to attack the small and medium-sized strongholds of the garrison of two or three hundred people."

Li Hao immediately agreed: "I think so too. ”

"But only attacking some small and medium-sized strongholds, it is too small to make a fuss, and the impact is very limited."

"If the Independent Regiment helps, we will definitely be able to fight two more big victories."

"Huh?" Head Zhou immediately became interested.

In the first battle of Wushanwa, the independent regiment followed the garrison regiment to not only annihilate more than 5,000 puppet troops, but also captured a large number of weapons and ammunition.

What satisfied Commander Zhou the most was that according to Li Hao's distribution plan, Commander Zhou also harvested more than 2,000 prisoners of war.

They are all veterans trained by devils.

As long as you transform your thinking and integrate it ideologically into the Eighth Route Army, you will immediately become a veteran and make up for the loss of the independent regiment on the battlefield.

Therefore, in the battle to support the garrison regiment, the independent regiment definitely did not suffer.

Hearing that Li Hao wanted to help the independent regiment fight again, Commander Zhou's mood was the same as when he learned that he was going to fight here a few days ago, excited and looking forward to it.

He immediately asked, "Commander Li, I said before that as long as the independent regiment does not go back, everyone here will listen to you." ”

"If you have any tasks, you can give orders, and the independent regiment will do everything possible to complete it when it runs out."

"Then I'll stop talking nonsense." Li Hao said.

Then he pointed to the map and analyzed: "My judgment is about the same as yours." ”

"There is one road left in the base area, and the Japanese puppet army will definitely march and retreat in a hurry, divide the troops and garrison the no-man's land, trap us here, and prevent the garrison from continuing to develop and grow."

"But there's one thing I think differently."

"In addition to increasing the defensive strength of the no-man's land, this Japanese puppet army also has a task: to recapture Huaiyuan County."

"The garrison regiment plus the independent regiment, it will definitely be no problem to gather two or three thousand people."

"Add more than a hundred artillery pieces, take the initiative to attack the Japanese puppet army in the no-man's land, and kill two or three thousand more."

"But no matter how we fight, no matter how many Japanese puppet troops are eliminated, the overall situation facing the base area has not changed, and it is still surrounded by the devil's no-man's land, unable to enter or exit, trapped here, just to buy some more time for the base area."

"My idea is that if we want to make a fuss, we will make a big fuss."

Speaking of this, Li Hao first drew a circle on the map and encircled Huaiyuan County, which had not yet been recaptured by the Japanese puppet army.

Then he pointed to it and explained: "If we can occupy this place and develop it into our base area, plus the original base area of the independent regiment and the base area of the garrison regiment, the three base areas are like a character nailed to the area occupied by the devils, and they are horns and support each other. ”

"In the future, if you encounter a heavy sweep by the devils, no matter which base is attacked, the other two bases can send troops from the flank to support and attack the devil's back."

Commander Zhou didn't speak, staring at the map and thinking about the strategic concept put forward by Li Hao.

The expression on his face first became more and more serious, and then slowly became excited.

"This idea is good, once our iron triangle is formed, the Japanese puppet army will not be able to move us at all without twenty or thirty thousand troops."

"I support the idea."

"But there is a problem, we have two regiments, according to this concept, there will be three base areas here that are not subordinate to each other, and one regiment cannot control two base areas!"

Li Hao said: "This is also a problem I want to solve. ”

"Although the garrison regiment is strong, the base area that needs to be defended is too large, and there is an important task to do in the next half a year, and a large number of troops and materials need to be gathered to complete this secret task, so it is impossible to divide troops to control Huaiyuan."

Speaking of this, Li Hao suddenly looked at Head Zhou and proposed.

"Captain Zhou, how about you stay?"

"If I'm not mistaken, when the independent regiment sends troops, the troops and weapons and equipment left in the base area can completely build another independent regiment."

"In this case, it is just right to divide the independent regiment into two, half of the troops will stay in the old base area, and half of the troops will occupy Huaiyuan."

"If you agree, Commander Zhou, we will immediately form a message from the idea just now and report it to our superiors."

"I believe that the higher authorities also want to see us develop more base areas and gain a firm foothold behind enemy lines."

Head Zhou's first reaction subconsciously was to refuse.

It is not ordinarily difficult to leave the old base area and occupy and develop a new base area.

And people are nostalgic for the old, and it must be very reluctant to suddenly let him leave the old army that he developed single-handedly.

But thinking about it, he slowly began to move.

Even if he really leaves the Independent Regiment, it can't change the fact that he is the founder of the Independent Regiment.

Once the regiments have to cooperate with each other in the future, the independent regiment will definitely be under their own command, and if they don't do well, they will be able to take the opportunity to be promoted to brigade commander.

As for the new base area in Huaiyuan, the difficulties are not as many as imagined.

If there are guerrilla activities in Huaiyuan, then there will be a mass base.

Coupled with more than 2,000 prisoners, five or six hundred veterans, sufficient weapons and ammunition, and three months at most, I am confident that I will build a new base here on a scale no less than the old one.

Not to mention the fact that if you build a base here, you can also get direct support from the garrison.
