Chapter 1357: Is This Still a Guerrilla? (First update!) )
Seeing that Hong Linfeng and Head Zhou nodded in agreement, Li Hao continued.
"The guerrillas, local troops, and two regiments of left-behind troops operating in Huaiyuan have a total strength of more than 800 people, and they are not vegetarians."
"Yes, how did I forget them, these people seem to be guerrillas on the surface, and in terms of combat effectiveness, they are no less than many main forces." Hong Linfeng was the first to react.
In the garrison regiment base areas, although the training intensity of the guerrillas is not comparable to that of the main force, as long as there are conditions and they are equipped with sufficiently strong weapons and equipment, their combat effectiveness can reach at least half of that of the main force.
The combat effectiveness of several guerrilla units in Huaiyuan was not bad.
They have been behind enemy lines for a long time, fighting constantly, and most of the partisans have actual combat experience.
The only thing the troops lacked was weapons and ammunition.
In the first battle of Huaiyuan, the only problem was solved.
As long as they can use the weapons and equipment captured by the troops on the battlefield, they can use as many as they want.
In today's guerrilla units, each infantry squad is equipped with a light machine gun, the platoon is equipped with a heavy machine gun, and the guerrillas are equipped with mortar platoons, which are several times better equipped than many main forces.
The combat effectiveness is not enough firepower to make up, this is the combat style of the garrison regiment all along.
The combat effectiveness of the guerrillas is not bad in the first place, and with such good weapons and ammunition, the combat effectiveness will definitely rise.
As soon as Hong Linfeng mentioned it, Head Zhou also reacted and hurriedly added.
"In addition to a few guerrilla and local troops, our two regiments also left a lot of troops to guard the weapons and ammunition hidden outside the city."
"The main force has one platoon each, and there are more than 400 light and serious wounded from the first battle of Huaiyuan."
"After such a long time, there must be many minor injuries who have recovered and returned to the team."
"With the two platoons left, we will definitely be able to get two companies together to participate in the battle."
"Two main companies, four guerrillas, with a total strength of more than 800 people, if used well, it can allow more than 2,000 puppet troops to walk on the road for an extra day."
Seeing that both of them agreed, Li Hao became more confident, and made a decision immediately: "Then let's do it." ”
"Chief of Staff, immediately send someone to contact our troops left in Huaiyuan to prepare for battle."
"Commander Zhou, you are the commander of the newly established Huaiyuan Base Area, and several guerrillas are your troops, you immediately give them an order: cooperate with the two main companies to delay the Japanese puppet army to capture Huaiyuan County."
"We'll start preparing now, and in two hours, we'll march lightly in a platoon to kill."
Peng Shaofeng was the leader of the guerrillas in Tianqi Town, Huaiyuan, and was a platoon commander of the main force before joining the guerrillas.
In the past, in the face of his former comrades-in-arms, Peng Shaofeng definitely couldn't raise his head.
At the beginning, he took three of his subordinates deep behind enemy lines to form the Tianqi Town guerrillas.
In less than three months, the three-person guerrilla force grew to more than 100 people, which was equivalent to a company in the main force.
But the equipment of the guerrillas was too poor, more than 100 people were only armed with 23 rifles, half of which were old sleeves with smoothed rifling.
There was only one light machine gun, not even a bipod.
The bullets were even more pitiful, less than a hundred rounds for light machine guns and less than 10 rounds per rifle per person.
Other partisans were armed either with powder guns, or with broadswords, spears......
Such strength is not comparable in front of a platoon of the main forces.
Take a look at the former comrades-in-arms, as long as they are not sacrificed, at least they are the main platoon commanders, and if they develop well, they have become deputy company commanders, and there is also a comrade-in-arms who has become a company commander.
In comparison, he is definitely the worst developed of all his comrades-in-arms.
It's different anymore.
In the first battle of Huaiyuan, the Tianqi Town guerrillas changed their guns, and when they appeared in front of their former comrades-in-arms, they could not only raise their heads, but also walk with their heads held high.
The total strength is 180 men, with a mortar platoon, armed with three 81 mm mortars. A heavy machine-gun company, four heavy machine-guns, four infantry platoons, a guard squad.
Each infantry squad was armed with eight rifles, one light machine gun.
There was no shortage of ammunition either, with each rifleman armed with fifty rounds of ammunition and three grenades or grenades, three hundred rounds for machine guns, 1,000 rounds for heavy machine guns, and twenty rounds for mortars.
And this was only for the troops, and the guerrilla command also had 30,000 rounds of ammunition of various types and 150 shells in reserve.
A veritable reinforced platoon.
Such strength can not only carry a company of the main force, but also many battalions of the main force do not have such strong firepower as the guerrillas.
For more than half a month, in addition to performing tasks, one of the things Peng Shaofeng has done the most is to train the troops, improve the combat effectiveness of the troops, and let the big guys use the guys in their hands well, and don't waste such good equipment.
After a day of training, Peng Shaofeng dragged his tired body back to the command headquarters when a soldier wearing the uniform of the Eighth Route Army came in on his heels.
Peng Shaofeng knew him.
A platoon commander of the Independent Regiment who stayed behind in Huaiyuan to guard weapons and ammunition.
During this time, I asked him to borrow a lot of lightly injured veterans to help train the guerrillas.
Seeing him gasping and rushing in, with a serious expression, he immediately guessed what was wrong, and quickly asked.
"Platoon Commander Wang, why are you in such a hurry?"
"The superior has an order for us!" Platoon Commander Wang replied directly.
"Our independent regiment was ordered to stay in Huaiyuan to establish the Huaiyuan base area, and our regiment commander served as the commander of the base area, Captain Peng, from now on we will be comrades-in-arms who eat in a pot, and we are all subordinates of the regiment commander."
"The regiment commander ordered us to prepare for battle immediately, bring all the weapons and ammunition, and stop the Japanese puppet army that killed the county town of Huaiyuan at all costs."
"The main force then rushed back, and then together they dealt with this Japanese puppet army."
Peng Shaofeng was convinced of Platoon Commander Wang's words, and was so excited that he almost jumped up.
Since the guerrillas changed their uniforms, although they have fought several battles, they have always cooperated with the main force to fight guerrillas, and they have hardly carried the little devils head-on.
Now that we have finally come across such an opportunity to prove the fighting power of the guerrillas, we will certainly not let it go.
After being excited, he immediately replied: "Platoon Commander Wang, no one is more familiar with the terrain of Huaiyuan than our guerrillas. ”
"I ask to lead the guerrillas to be the first to go up."
"You give me the first ten-kilometer road that the devils are going to take after they get out of the no-man's land, and slow down the marching speed of the Japanese puppet army through guerrilla warfare, movement warfare, and mine warfare."
"I promise to let the Japanese puppet army walk for at least four hours."
Platoon Commander Wang thought for a moment and replied: "You are indeed the head snake here, no one is more familiar with the terrain here than you, this matter will be done according to what you say, Captain Peng, your guerrillas will be the first to go up, and then the other guerrillas and our main force will go up again, cooperate with each other, and complete the tasks assigned to us by the regiment commander." ”
