Chapter 1224: It's Hard to Win or Not (Second Update!) )
Garrison regimental headquarters, communications platoon commander Zhou Liang hurriedly walked in.
"Regiment Commander, Political Commissar, Commando Captain Xiao is in a hurry!"
"What's the matter?" Political Commissar Wang Hong asked anxiously.
The battle of raiding Yi County to obtain food was too important, and if the operation was successful, the garrison regiment would have enough food to last until the end of the counter-sweep.
If the operation is not successful, the garrison regiment will face the pressure of running out of food and fighting on both sides.
It is necessary not only to sweep and fight devils on the front line, but also to ensure the stability of the rear base areas, and not to cause chaos and suffer from the enemy on the back because of a shortage of food.
Therefore, Wang Hong is more nervous than ever, and he is paying attention to the specific progress of this operation all the time.
Zhou Liang hurriedly handed the telegram to the political commissar, and then reported.
"Half an hour ago, the captain of the Yi County garrison personally led a reinforced squadron of devils and a company of puppet troops to leave the county seat and march to kill the Yi County guerrilla brigade."
"Coupled with the reinforcements sent to the front line by the devils before, the little devils who dealt with the Yixian guerrilla brigade have exceeded half an infantry brigade, and there are also nearly two battalions of the Imperial Association Army to cooperate in the operation."
"Captain Xiao was worried that the guerrilla brigade would not be able to hold on, so the road that had been paralyzed for six days was restored by the devils."
The superiority in troops, firepower, and even terrain is on the side of the little devils.
If there is really a fight, the hundreds of recruits of the guerrilla brigade will definitely not be an opponent.
Wang Hong's face sank instantly, and his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
At this time, Li Hao suddenly spoke: "Political commissar, how much grain has been parked in Yi County for a few days?" ”
Every night, the regiment headquarters and the commando team have to contact each other, and the commando team informs the regiment headquarters of the specific situation in Yi County, so as to know themselves and the enemy.
So Wang Hong was clear about this situation, and he answered without thinking about it.
"As of six o'clock this afternoon, the commando sent us a telegram that there were a total of 16 road grain transport teams temporarily parked in Yi County, all of which were grain transport teams controlled by devils, and the grain was also transferred from the northeast into the pass."
"All of them add up to about seven million catties."
"On the railway side, a total of thirteen trains temporarily stopped in Yi County, and the commando team went to find out the situation: the two trains were transporting military supplies, the two trains had a large number of weapons and ammunition in addition to military supplies, and the remaining nine trains were all transporting grain, cotton, and some other materials."
"According to preliminary estimates, there must be four million catties of grain in it, and they are all the best quality military rations."
"In addition, there are edible canned food, compressed dry food of more than one million catties."
Li Hao's face flashed with excitement and replied: "It's almost 12 million catties of grain." ”
"I decided to wait two more days and start working in two days."
"Call Xiao Yuan back: The Yixian guerrilla brigade continues to use guerrilla warfare and movement warfare to drag down the devils for two days."
"In two days, there will be the main force to reinforce them and eat all the Japanese puppet troops out of the city."
"One more sentence to Comrade Xiao Yuan, he can start acting."
"Three days later, at six o'clock in the afternoon, the main force of the regiment launched an attack on the county seat of Yixian on time."
As soon as Zhou Liang came out of the war room with the signed telegram, Hong Linfeng couldn't help but ask, "Regiment commander, how do we act?" ”
Li Hao didn't let everyone wait too long, and began to continue giving orders after a few seconds.
"One battalion, two infantry companies, and a fire company, will set off tomorrow night to reinforce the Yixian guerrilla brigade through the blockade line."
"After the troops converged, they were unified under the command of Liu Senyun, the commander of the first battalion."
"The night after tomorrow, cooperate with the guerrilla brigade to fight a battle of annihilation on the front line, kill the sweeping troops all the way, and then continue to use guerrilla warfare and the Japanese puppet army to maneuver in the mountains and drag them down."
"After receiving the general attack order from the regimental headquarters, find a way to eat the remaining Japanese puppet army."
"Under normal circumstances, after the sweeping troops are wiped out, the remaining devils will either retreat or continue to transfer troops from the county to reinforce the front line."
"Roads and railways are too important to the devils, just like the main arteries of the occupied area, and if you cut off the Japanese puppet army for one more day, you will lose a lot of manpower and material resources. Therefore, they will definitely not retreat, even if the front-line troops want to retreat, the command of the Japanese front in North China will not agree. ”
"So the Japanese army will definitely continue to transfer troops from the county and other strongholds to reinforce the front line."
"At that time, the pressure on us to attack the county will be much less."
"After the annihilation battle of the first battalion and the guerrilla brigade starts, the Japanese puppet army in Yixian County will definitely be in chaos."
"The second battalion and one company, the fire company, the first company of the air defense battalion, and the cavalry battalion, under the unified command of the chief of staff, took the opportunity to cross the blockade line and directly pounced on the dozen or so trains of the devils parked in Yi County. Find them, lurk nearby, stand still for the time being, and after receiving the order for the general attack of the regimental headquarters, you can kill the Japanese puppet army protecting the military column with lightning speed, and take the military column. ”
"After the battle, the second battalion and one company, the fire company, and the first company of the air defense battalion stayed behind to protect the military columns and wait for our men to transport and capture."
"The cavalry battalion took the initiative to attack as a company, killed all the Japanese puppet troops on our retreat road, and controlled the road."
"The first and second companies of the heavy artillery battalion, the second battalion and the second company, are on standby at the blockade line."
"If there are little devils who want to block our retreat, they will directly bombard us with heavy artillery to kill as many as they want to ensure the safety of our back road.
"The third battalion, the guard company directly under the regiment, the second and third companies of the air defense battalion, I personally commanded, and the cavalry battalion crossed the blockade line of the Japanese puppet army, lurked near the county seat of Yixian, and began to attack the city at six o'clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow."
"When the time comes, I will give the order for a general attack to all the troops participating in the battle."
After pausing for two seconds, Li Hao shifted his gaze to Wang Hong and said very seriously.
"Commissar, you have the heaviest task."
"More than 20 million catties of grain, countless other materials, weapons and ammunition, if we want to safely transport them back to the base area, and they have to be completed within two days, the pressure is not ordinary."
"The grain teams that the devils transport by road have big trucks, and they can be captured, and we don't need to prepare. However, the grain and materials transported by train, and the food and materials stored in the warehouse, all need to be prepared by ourselves. ”
"You are responsible for all this, the political commissar."
Unexpectedly, in the face of this problem, Wang Hong did not show any worry on his face, he didn't even frown, and replied confidently: "Regiment Leader, since you decided to attack Yi County, I have been preparing. ”
"In the name of transporting grain, carts of mules and horses were drawn from the villages."
"In the past few days, at least 6,000 carts have been assembled in the mountains near Yi County, each with a coachman and two young men."
"In addition, nearly 20,000 mules and horses have been prepared, and every five mules and horses are matched with two young and strong."
"In the next two days, at least 1,000 carts and 2,000 mules and horses will arrive at the blockade line."
"Plus the mule and horse carts equipped by the baggage battalion directly under the regiment and the baggage company directly under each battalion."
"We have more than 8,000 carts and 25,000 horses and mules in total."
"In addition, there are nearly 10,000 drivers and nearly 30,000 young people to cooperate with our actions."
"I promise to all the people who participated in the operation: our garrison regiment will cover all the food and drink during the operation, and after the operation, each coachman will be paid 100 catties of grain, and ordinary young people will be given 50 catties of grain."
"So everyone's enthusiasm is very high, and the secrecy measures are also very good."
"Great!" Li Hao exclaimed with admiration.
"Political commissar, with these carts, mules and horses you prepared, it will be difficult for us to win this battle."
