After the intelligence staff officer put out a posture of a dead duck who was not afraid of boiling water, no matter how angry the army commander was, there was nothing he could do about him

The chief of staff relieved the siege at the right time and said: "Sir! The garrison breakout force has now returned to their base in Lingqiu, and has also brought back thousands of non-working reinforcements and a large amount of military equipment! ”

"Those absenteeism were all Chinese soldiers captured by the imperial army on the battlefield, and because they were unwilling to cooperate with the imperial army, they were sent to the coal mines, squeezed them, and earned benefits for the empire!"

"So they are full of hatred for the Empire, as long as they give them a gun, they will immediately become enemies of the Empire, and their henchmen will be in great trouble!"

"I judge that after the garrison breakout force returns to the base area, its strength will definitely expand rapidly, even surpassing that before we launched the sweep!"

"Originally, we arranged five brigades in Lingqiu, two brigades fought with the reinforcements sent by the first division of the Eighth Route Army, and three brigades dealt with the garrison regiment!"

"Now the Sasaki Brigade has been completely wiped out, and there are only two brigades left to deal with the garrison!"

"As the strength of the garrison continues to expand, these two brigades no longer have any advantage, and they will be defeated by each of them!"

"Therefore, I think that we should immediately end the sweep of the garrison base area and improve the attack into a blockade!"

"Wait for the imperial army to recover from this defeat, and then gather heavy troops to deal with the garrison!"

The commander was noncommittal!

"It's time to finish!"

After a long sigh, a pair of eyes became hot again, and he continued with a face full of determination!

"But I'm sure Lady Luck will definitely be on our side in the next sweep!"

"The garrison regiment brought back a large amount of military equipment from Datong, and it is definitely going to build their own arsenal!"

"The intelligence agencies must find the exact location of this arsenal!"

"Once this arsenal is formed, the garrison will become a big business, and there will be more and more considerations and burdens! On the battlefield, you can no longer fight as flexibly and freely as before, if you want to break through the siege and enter the mountains, you can go into the mountains, and you can slip away if you want to, which will help the imperial army sweep the base areas of the independent regiment and kill them! ”

The day after Li Hao led the convoy into the mountain, the Japanese puppet army sweep troops began to withdraw from the base area one after another!

Of course, they did not fully retreat!

The whole three infantry brigades were stationed around the base area, plus the Lingqiu county town reoccupied by the Japanese army, directly cutting off all the communication arteries from the Lingqiu base area to the outside world, and enclosing the base area tightly!

However, this blockade does not really trap the garrison!

The garrison regiment had the strength to swallow a large brigade of the Japanese army in one bite, and the division of troops has become a taboo for the Japanese army to deal with the garrison regiment! ”

Don't look at the large number of Japanese troops around the garrison!

These Japanese troops did not dare to divide their troops, and they took the brigade as a unit to block the three-day highway leading to the outside world in Lingqiu!

As for the various trails and mountain roads, even if the Japanese army wanted to defend them, they were powerless!

On the same day, Hong Linfeng returned to the base area one after another with a battalion and an extra 2,000 absentees!

The four giants of the garrison group, who had been separated for nearly a month, reunited!

"Political commissar, deputy head of the regiment, you should first talk about the losses of the base area in this anti-sweep!" In the humble conference room, Li Hao asked straight to the point

"I'll start with that!" Deputy head Luo Yun stood up first, with a solemn face!

"Before our garrison occupied Lingqiu, in order to force us out, the devils also killed people, burned houses, and robbed things in the base area, but it was not too much!" ”

"Since we took Lingqiu, we successfully broke through and made the devil lose face!"

"The little devils who killed our base area are crazy, burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil!"

"During the entire anti-sweeping period, more than 700 villagers in two villages were slaughtered by devils!"

"In addition, more than 300 ordinary people died at the hands of devils for various reasons!"

"The people who were injured by the devils and killed even more, all of them added up to at least 2,000 people, accounting for almost 10% of all the people in the entire base area!"

"As for the houses that were burned down, there are countless of them!"

"Now it is counted that 21 large and small villages have been burned to ashes, and nearly 10,000 people have lost their houses, accounting for half of all the people in the base area!"

"In addition, in order to support this counter-sweep and reduce the losses of the people in the base area, the independent battalions, special service companies, and hundreds of soldiers who stayed in the base area have almost changed in two!"

"Regiment commander, the independent battalion and the special service company you see now are the second batch of recruits that the regiment headquarters has supplemented them!"

"The two units directly lost 595 people, and 258 people were seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness!"

"The weapons and ammunition that the regiment headquarters has accumulated with great difficulty have basically run out!"

"There is not a single machine gun in the logistics warehouse now, and there are still thirty rifles left in the inventory company!"

"There are 20,000 rounds of ammunition left, and I have been holding it down and not daring to use it!"

"Fortunately, the ammunition team of the repair institute made a breakthrough in the anti-sweeping process, concentrated all the personnel and equipment to reload the ammunition in the mountain, and worked overtime day and night to reload nearly 50,000 rounds of ammunition for the troops, so that the ammunition in the hands of the troops was not exhausted!"

"There's also a loss that's important!"

"We're running out of medicines!"

"More than 2,000 wounded civilians in the base area, more than 200 wounded in the independent battalion and spy company, and the amount of medicine used every day can be called astronomical!"

"In the past few days of fighting, the independent battalion has brought back nearly 200 seriously wounded, plus more than 300 wounded brought back by the main force, and the daily consumption of medicine must at least double!"

"If I'm not mistaken, with the medicines we have in stock now, they will last up to ten days before they are out of use!"

Wang Hong stood up at this time!

The melancholy on his face was no less than Luo Yun's!

Take a deep breath and answer, "Commander." I'll add one more point! ”

"Now the delay confidant is to solve the medicine, and then to appease the people!"

"During this time, in order to reduce the losses of the people and let everyone continue to believe in our garrison regiment, I set an example and stayed with everyone every day, knowing their thoughts very well!"

"Many people don't trust and support our Eighth Route Army as much as before!"

"There are even rumors in the base area: before our Eighth Route Army came, although they lived a hard life under the exploitation of the Japanese, some people could not survive the winter and were starved to death and froze to death, but after all, there were very few, and there were only a few people in each village!"

"Now that our Eighth Route Army is here, although they will have food to eat, they will not starve to death and freeze to death, but there are more people who have died!"

"The people of the whole village were slaughtered by the devils to vent their anger, and the shock and fear brought to the people by this incident is really too great!"

Li Hao's frowning brows became deeper and deeper, and he thought for a long time before he spoke: "I'll solve the problem of medicine!" ”

"Political commissar, if you find a way to collect 50,000 oceans to buy medicines, if I remember correctly, the oceans that the headquarters promised to support us should be soon!"

"As for appeasing the people, this can't be rushed!"

"As for the rumors you just said, political commissar, they must have been deliberately stirred up by some well-intentioned people, and there must be little devils standing behind these well-intentioned people!"

"After the meeting is dismissed, we will immediately order the security department to thoroughly investigate this matter, and we must pull out all the traitors lurking in our base area!"

"This time I brought back more than 2,000 absentees from Datong, and they haven't replenished the troops yet! From now on, these people are all to the commissars! ”

"Coupled with the puppet army captives that we are transforming and just captured, there must be three thousand people!"

"In the next few months, they will be the main force for us to rebuild our base area!"

"In addition, take out 20,000 oceans to support the reconstruction of the base area!"

"All the ordinary people who participate in the reconstruction of the base area, we will pay all the wages!"

"The remaining extra ocean will be used to compensate the soldiers and civilians who died in the base area in this anti-sweep, if it is not enough, I will find a way!"

Wang Hong hesitated for a moment and reminded: "Do you want the troops to also participate!" ”

"There are more than 2,000 people in the main force combined, and with them joining, the pressure to rebuild the base area will definitely be much less!"

Li Hao shook his head and refused: "No! ”

"The main force now has only one task: training, and training to the death, to form combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time!"

"The devils are staring at us around the base area, if there is no strong force to protect the base area, even if we rebuild the base area, as long as the devil sweeps again, the base area will still be devastated!"

"This is the end of the matter! Chief of Staff, tell me about the troops! ”

Hong Linfeng stood up, his face was also very solemn, he looked at the list in his hand over and over again, and finally sighed and said!

"The situation in the troops is not optimistic!"

"The three main battalions and the independent battalion, the same special service company, the fighters have changed at least one stubble!"

"Until now, we still have three main battalions, an independent battalion, a special service company, a guard company, a reconnaissance company, and a commando!"

"The cavalry battalion is temporarily compressed into a cavalry company, the artillery battalion is compressed into an artillery company, and the baggage battalion is in name only,!"

"All the soldiers in the whole regiment add up to two thousand one hundred and fifty-three people!"

"Among them, there are about 500 people in the first battalion, 450 people in the 2nd battalion, 380 people in the 3rd battalion, 300 people in the independent battalion, and 100 people in the special service company!"

"The remaining more than 500 people belong to the guard company, reconnaissance company, cavalry company, artillery company, baggage battalion, as well as regimental headquarters and commando!"

"In addition to the great loss of troops, the equipment is also very depleted!"

"There is still one mountain cannon left in the artillery company!"

"Although the other artillery pieces are hidden outside Lingqiu City, it is now occupied by little devils, and it is very difficult to get them back!"

"And even if we get it back, we won't have any shells to use!"

"There are still six mortars left in the whole regiment, and the shells add up to less than two hundred rounds!"

"There are seven heavy machine guns left, and less than three thousand rounds of ammunition left!"

"There are 39 crooked handles left in the whole regiment, which is not as good as half of what it was before the war!"

"The only thing that is not lacking is the 38 big cover, which basically reaches one per person!"

"This is also thanks to the repair station, although it has been transferred to the depths of the mountain, the repair of weapons has not stopped!"

"In less than a month, they provided at least three hundred rifles and ten crooked handles to the main force!"

"But there is a serious shortage of ammunition, except for the 20,000 rounds in the regimental headquarters, there are not even 50 rounds per capita in the hands of ordinary soldiers!"

"But this problem has been solved!"

"The ammunition reloading of the repair institute has not stopped, and now with the military equipment and a large number of semi-finished bullets that we brought back from Datong, they can definitely assemble at least 100,000 rounds of ammunition for us within a month!"

Li Hao was silent for a long time before he spoke!

With a long sigh, he replied: "Political commissar, chief of staff, deputy regiment commander, our garrison regiment is a battle from a landlord to a tenant, poor and white!" ”

"From now on, everything has to start from scratch!" ()
