The Japanese garrison headquarters in Laiyuan City has now become the former enemy headquarters of the garrison regiment!

All the way from Lingqiu here, the political commissar was immersed in shock!

This battle was fought too fast, and before he could react, the puppet army was eaten clean in thousands of days!

"Commander, this is a great victory! I suggest that we immediately report to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army: Our garrison regiment has successfully taken Laiyuan and Guangling, eliminated thousands of puppet troops, and completely pulled out the nails that the devils have planted in our base area! Wang Hong shouted excitedly when he saw Li Hao!

"The report is definitely going to be reported, but not now!" Li Hao didn't have much smile on his face, and replied calmly!

"Pulling out these two nails, for the garrison regiment, the advantage is only that the troops in the next counter-sweep can avoid being attacked by the enemy, and the counter-sweep pressure will be less, and it will not completely prevent the Japanese puppet army from attacking us and sweeping our base area!"

Wang Hong immediately calmed down!

The intelligence network of the garrison regiment is in his hands, and no one knows the strength of the surrounding Japanese puppet army better than him!

It is not an exaggeration to describe it with a heavy army!

And the devil also has an independent mixed brigade that is not in place!

It is certain that after last night's battle, the independent mixed brigade will definitely speed up and get here!

That is a field unit equipped with heavy artillery, plus 7788 auxiliary troops, with a total strength of nearly 10,000 people, for the garrison regiment, it is definitely a giant existence!

Therefore, as long as the goal of this independent mixed brigade is still Laiyuan, the threat and pressure of the garrison regiment will not be lifted!

They are like a sharp sword hanging over the head of the garrison, which may deal a fatal blow to the garrison at any time!

The more he thought about it, the more solemn Wang Hong's face became, and he asked in a deep voice: "Regiment leader, then what should we do next!" ”

"You hurriedly called me from Lingqiu, there must be a mission!"

Li Hao nodded and replied: "Train the troops, train the prisoners, and prepare a sufficient number of reserve soldiers for the main force!" ”

"The troops took Laiyuan, and a total of more than 780 prisoners were captured, these prisoners are all puppet soldiers who have been trained by devils for at least half a year, have been on the battlefield, are well-trained, and there are many original anti-Japanese soldiers in them!"

"I'll hand them all over to you now, and I'll screen and mobilize them right away!"

"The eight attacking forces on the front line also captured a large number of puppet troops!"

"There are puppet armies that have just been formed by little devils, and there are veterans who have been formed for more than half a year!"

"I have given the order, hand it all over to the local troops, and then march to Laiyuan City!"

"Commissar, all you have to do is screen and mobilize them separately!"

"Veterans who are willing to join our garrison regiment will directly form a recruit company, and after completing the ideological mobilization, they will be sent directly to the front line to replenish the main force!"

"The recruits who are willing to join us cannot be wasted, use them to re-form the new barracks, the establishment and scale are not limited, and the regimental headquarters will conduct training in a unified manner!"

Wang Hong replied confidently: "This is no problem!" ”

"After receiving the telegram, I brought all the political work cadres of the regiment headquarters and the logistics system, even those who are still training, a total of more than 50 people, it must be enough!"

Li Hao shook his head and replied: "Political commissar, don't be too happy!" ”

"This time you're not going to face one or two thousand captives!"

"Although the results of the battle have not yet been reported, and the battle on the front line has not yet ended, I can still estimate the approximate number of prisoners!"

"There will definitely be a steady stream of captives sent to Laiyuan City in the next few days!"

"According to preliminary estimates, the total number of recruits and veterans should be eight thousand!"

"Hiss ......"

Wang Hong's face changed at that time, and he gasped and shouted!

"So much?"

Li Hao replied solemnly: "Is it much?" I think it's still less! ”

"These strongholds were already garrisoned by a large number of puppet troops, and before the troops counterattacked, the devils formed a new army of 10,000 emperors and scattered them in these strongholds!"

"If nothing else, these puppet armies should be cheaper for us!"

"In addition, political commissar, don't forget, the Japanese army we are facing this time is a mixed brigade, a real field army!"

"The base area is so big, it can be attacked anywhere, and we will definitely not be able to clear the entire base area!"

"Therefore, after the Japanese army enters our base area, in order to cover the transfer of the villagers, the troops will inevitably fight positional battles and field battles with devils!"

"Casualties are inevitable!"

"Also, the strength of this anti-sweeping Japanese army is too strong, and it must be very difficult for us to end the battle in a short time!"

"This means that the whole counter-sweep will definitely be very long-lasting, use time and space to drag the enemy down, and then win!"

"And as long as there is a war, people will die, and the longer the battle is fought, the greater the casualties of the troops!"

"Therefore, in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the troops, protect the base area, and repel the devils, we must prepare a sufficient number of reserve troops to replenish the troops at any time!"

Wang Hong seems to have seen hundreds of soldiers dying on the battlefield!

His face became more and more solemn, he looked at Li Hao, and replied with a serious face: "Commander, I understand!" ”

"I must be cautious about the prisoners sent back from the front, do more ideological work, and mobilize them to join the Eighth Route Army! Especially the veterans among the captives! ”

After speaking, Wang Hong continued to ask: "In this counteroffensive, we have taken dozens of strongholds, captured Laiyuan and Guangling, eliminated thousands of Japanese troops, and more puppet troops, weakened the strength of the Japanese army, postponed the time for their counter-sweep, and by the way, trained the troops, and solved the problem of lack of food for the troops!" ”

"These goals have almost all been achieved, when do you plan to end the battle and digest the results, Commander!"

"It's not over!"

Li Hao replied in surprise!

Wang Hong was anxious, and immediately asked, "Regiment Commander, is there another target for attack?" ”

"Don't be impulsive, most of the troops are recruits, not veterans, if you fight continuously, no matter your physical strength or energy, you will definitely not be able to hold it!"

Li Hao thought for a moment and comforted: "Don't worry, political commissar!" ”

"When I say non-end, I mean that the entire counteroffensive plan will not end, not that the troops will continue to fight and have no time to rest!"

"In this case, not only the recruits in the army can't hold it, but I, the regiment commander, can't hold it either!"

Wang Hongchang breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask, "Then where do you plan to continue the counterattack, commander?" ”

"There is no specific goal for the counteroffensive!" Li Hao's answer was once again unexpected by Wang Hong!

As a commander, you don't even have an attack target, how can you command a war!

Wang Hong's eyes widened, and he looked at Li Hao with an incredible expression!

He needs an explanation, otherwise as a commissar, the last gatekeeper of the troops, he will never agree to such a risky and confused counteroffensive!

Li Hao began to think about the entire counteroffensive plan more than a month ago, improve it, and ensure that there are no loopholes!

In his overall plan, last night's action was only the first step in the whole battle plan!

For the political commissar and the chief of staff, Li Hao only revealed this step!

Because the next second and third steps are closely related to the first step!

If the purpose of the first step of the counteroffensive is not achieved, there is no need to think about the subsequent plan, it is simply impossible.

So telling them ahead of time is not only pointless, but it will also make them worry about it!

Not anymore!

The first step of the counteroffensive has been successfully completed, and all the objectives have been achieved!

At this point, the second step of the plan can be put forward logically!

After quickly sorting out the chaotic thoughts in his mind, Li Hao began to explain!

"Commissar, we've already discussed it just now!"

"After the Japanese army's independent mixed brigade is in place, the pressure we face will definitely be unprecedented!"

"Now that the base area is so big, it will definitely not be able to fully strengthen the wall and clear the wilderness! And many places are plains, even if we want to clear the wilderness, the villagers have nowhere to hide! ”

"In the face of the attack of the Japanese puppet army, the troops must assume the responsibility of protecting them, even if they fight to the death!"

"So after the devil enters the base area, whether it is to the villagers or the troops, the blow will be devastating, and the base area will also suffer heavy losses in the devil's revenge!"

"In order to mitigate losses, we must seize the initiative on the battlefield!"

"Even if the next heavy sweep is provoked by the devils, we must snatch the initiative on the battlefield from them!"

"Only in this way can we choose the main battlefield far away from the base area and minimize the losses in the base area!"

"The best case scenario is to prevent the devils from entering the base area!"

"Or let the devils follow the route we have laid out to kill the base area!"

Wang Hong shook his head and replied, "How easy is it to talk about?" ”

After wrinkling his brows and thinking about it for another two minutes, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and he was directly not optimistic about Li Hao's proposal.

"Commander, it's too difficult to do this!"

"Superiority in troops, equipment, firepower, and air superiority are all in the hands of devils."

"The time, place, and route of the specific attack on us are known only to them, and they can change them at any time."

"And their commander is not only not stupid, but also very powerful!"

"The headquarters informed us about the situation of Nakata Yamalang, which can be described by the words "experienced in battle" and rich combat experience!"

"Such a powerful opponent, how can he be at our mercy and listen to us!"

"I also think that you take it for granted, Commander!"

Li Hao's face flashed with a murderous aura and replied: "It's true that devils won't listen to us, but we can inquire about them!" ”

"As the old saying goes, offense is the best defense!"

"This time, I'm going to give it a good try on this independent mixed brigade!"
