At the beginning of November 1939, the winter sweep of tens of thousands of puppet troops was officially launched!

At the gate of Laiyuan City, more than 5,000 puppet troops under the command of the commander of the Major General's Brigade drove out of Laiyuan City and killed Lingqiu City along the highway!

"Your Excellency General, this time we have assembled a whole infantry wing and a main regiment of the Imperial Allied Army, and the final victory will definitely belong to us!" Chief of Staff Nakasa stood beside the brigade commander and analyzed with a confident face!

The brigade commander nodded: "I also believe that victory will be ours, but I want to kill this independent regiment with minimal casualties!" ”

"This independent regiment is different from other Eighth Route Army units, it is tough and well-equipped, so we must take this sweep seriously, otherwise the Imperial Army troops participating in the attack will definitely suffer heavy casualties!"

"Hey!" Nakasa replied with a serious face!

Two days ago, he received a letter from his family to him, as long as he can make achievements in this sweep and get a good word from the brigade commander in front of him, it is a sure thing to kill the independent regiment and promote him to the captain of the Dazuo Wing from Zhongzuo!

Therefore, in order to be able to achieve prosperity in his next military career, the chief of staff does not dare to be proud at all, especially in front of the brigade commander!

After hesitating for a moment, he reminded: "General, according to our battle plan, this time we will sweep one of our infantry wings in three ways, with the three infantry brigades under the wing as units, and strengthen a mountain artillery squadron, a cavalry squadron, and a main battalion of the Imperial Cooperative Army!" Attacking the base area of the Independent Regiment from three different directions is like a big net, sweeping all their so-called base areas and completely killing all the Eighth Route Army forces in Lingqiu! ”

"Since you want to kill them with minimal casualties, General, I suggest that you also join the Lingqiu garrison and let them participate in the battle!"

"No way!"

The commander of the brigade of the major general refused without thinking about it!

"Their combat effectiveness is too unreassuring, the independent regiment has been defeated repeatedly, such troops will not only not be able to help, but will also cause chaos to our troops and affect the morale of the troops!"

The chief of staff of Nakasa suddenly realized and shouted: "The general is wise, and he understands his humble duties!" ”

"The morale of those garrisons is indeed very poor, I heard that many imperial troops will fear the enemy when they hear that they are fighting with the independent regiment, and the addition of such troops is indeed only disadvantageous and not beneficial!"

"That's why I let them guard Lingqiu City!" The commander of the brigade of the major general said!

"There is definitely no problem with going out of the city to take the initiative to attack the independent regiment, relying on the city wall to defend, protect Lingqiu City, and protect the logistics supply line of the three-way sweeping troops!"

"Also, the main forces have been sent out to attack the independent regiment, and there is only one guard squadron left in the brigade headquarters, and the number of troops is too small!"

"If there is a garrison to assist in defending Lingqiu City, we can also command in Lingqiu City with confidence!"

The chief of staff immediately heard a different flavor from these words, stared at the brigade commander and asked, "General, you mean that this independent regiment is very likely to attack Lingqiu City!" ”

The brigade commander did not deny!

"I can't rule it out!"

"The Eighth Route Army is too cunning, and there are Eighth Route Army soldiers on other battlefields who have used this kind of trick!"

"The imperial army concentrated its forces on the front line to sweep, and after a battle, it suddenly found that it was only a small force of the Eighth Route Army, and the real main force of the Eighth Route Army had run to the rear of the imperial army, cutting off the imperial army's food route, and also taking advantage of the emptiness of the imperial army's rear strength to take a very important logistics base of the imperial army!"

"Originally, the sweeping troops of the imperial army were about to surround the opposing command organ and achieve victory, but because the imperial army's grain route was cut off and logistics supplies were lost, the combat troops had to retreat after running out of food, giving up the victory that was already far away, and was finally defeated by the Eighth Route Army!"

"I've studied this independent regiment, and they don't use the same tactics in every battle, and so far, they haven't used this kind of trick!"

"This time we are heavily smoking, and I have seriously considered how they will crack this sweep from the perspective of the Independent Regiment!"

"I can't think of any other way than to attack Lingqiu, cut off the logistical supply of our sweeping troops, and force us to retreat!"

Chief of Staff Nakasa showed another expression of sudden realization on his face, and then shouted!

"I understand, the reason why you ordered the sweep troops to increase the dry rations carried by the troops from five days to ten days, and also ordered the baggage squadrons of each brigade to carry another five days of combat supplies, the purpose is to prevent the independent regiment from cutting off their logistics supply lines!"

"If the independent regiment really comes to attack Lingqiu, with the strength of the Lingqiu garrison and the brigade guard, there will be no problem at all in holding on for ten days and half a month!"

"When the time comes, the main force of the imperial army can continue to sweep their base area, destroy their base area in one fell swoop, and then send troops back to Lingqiu, and kill the main force of the independent regiment from inside and outside!"

"General Yingming, your arrangement is very thorough, this time the independent regiment will definitely be unable to escape!"

The commander of the brigade of the major general shook his head and replied: "There is another situation that you have not calculated!" ”

"When the main force of the imperial army returned to Lingqiu, what should I do if the Eighth Route Army attacking Lingqiu retreated directly when the situation was not good?"

Chief of Staff Nakasa knows that the general is examining himself!

At the same time, I also understand that since the general knows about this problem, there must be an arrangement!

Frowning and recalling the entire battle plan in his head, I want to find some clues!

Soon, the wrinkled brow of the Chief of Staff of Nakasa was stretched!

"Don't be afraid! By the time they realized the danger, their so-called base had been completely destroyed by us! ”

"If you lose your base area, the Eighth Route Army will become a fish that has lost its water, and it is still surrounded by the heavy troops of the Imperial Army, even if you want to run, there is no way to escape, you can only be surrounded by us little by little, and then annihilated!"

"Very well analyzed!" The commander of the brigade of the major general was very satisfied and praised.

More than 5,000 puppet troops, with cannons, carrying light and heavy machine guns and mortars, and there are four or five hundred cavalry galloping back and forth around to be on guard, killing towards Lingqiu City!

The commando team of the Independent Regiment was ordered to lurk outside Laiyuan City as early as three days ago, and in the face of this behemoth, they who had always been arrogant had a sense of powerlessness for the first time, and they were at a loss for a while in the face of the marching team that was defended like an iron bucket!

"Captain, the Japanese puppet army is too cautious, the cavalry has been guarding the surroundings and staring, as long as we lean over to expose the target within five hundred meters on both sides of the marching army, we will definitely be besieged and hunted by them, and there is almost no possibility of escape!" The leader of the first assault team frowned and analyzed!

Although the commando team has decided to expand into three assault detachments, the time is too tight, and the devils don't give them time to expand at all, so the assault team is still the original assault detachment, except for the replacement of two injured team members, the personnel has not increased!

"You can only rely on artillery groups to carry out long-range fire raids, or lay mines on the way in front of the Japanese puppet army!" The leader of the second assault group replied with a frown!

Xiao Yuan furrowed his brows and quickly made a decision: "The two plans are carried out together, and if we can kill a few devils, we will kill a few!" ”

"Assault a group to bury mines, all of them are made of our earth-made mines, which are powerful, and the little devil mine detector can't find them!"

"I'll command the others, use mortars to carry out long-range raids, and see if it's possible to attract the little devil cavalry troops and kill some!"

"Our independent regiment has always been short of war horses, don't send them to the door in vain!"
