Attack Datong? ”

The deputy commander-in-chief strode to the map, and after finding the location of Datong, a thoughtful expression slowly appeared on his shocked face.

"The little devil commander is very powerful!" After watching it for a few seconds, the deputy commander-in-chief sighed.

The deputy chief of staff nodded and replied: "It's very powerful, you can't take advantage of the garrison here, and you can directly reach out to Datong." ”

"The Jin Sui Army is different from our Eighth Route Army, they are better at frontal combat, positional warfare, and tough encounters with devils."

"This is the Japanese army's favorite way of fighting, they have planes, artillery, and tanks to help, and if they fight positional warfare, they will definitely win."

"I'm sure that in less than three days, the Japanese army will reoccupy Datong."

The deputy commander-in-chief agreed with his partner's analysis and nodded and asked.

"How did Comrade Li Hao do it?"

"A reinforced battalion was placed on the blockade line to monitor the movements of the Japanese puppet army, and by the way, to rescue the Jin Sui army that might have escaped from the direction of Datong."

"Other troops are active in the territory of Lingqiu to restore their strength?"

"In addition, because the troops suffered heavy losses in this counter-sweep, in order to ensure that the combat effectiveness of the troops is not affected by the expansion and reduce the logistical pressure on the base areas, Comrade Li Hao decided to reduce the establishment of the garrison regiment."

"The main battalion is still six, but each main battalion is compressed to less than 500 people, plus artillery and other directly subordinate troops, the main force is controlled to 4,000 people, which is a full 2,500 fewer than before the war."

"The county brigades in the local units have been reduced to less than 300 people, and the part-time guerrillas have also been reduced to varying degrees according to the number of people in each village, so that every 50 ordinary people can be controlled as much as possible by one part-time guerrilla."

The deputy commander-in-chief's eyes flashed, staring at the map and replied: "Comrade Li Hao has done a good job. ”

"We did not blindly expand the troops because the devils withdrew from the army, but carried out a small-scale expansion under the condition of ensuring the combat effectiveness of the troops to prevent accidents."

"Deputy Chief of Staff, I think we can start the operation."

"Immediately send a telegram to Comrade Li Hao, after the main division of the Japanese army left the base area, it will start a counteroffensive, and try to snatch back the equipment, ammunition, and territory lost on the main division of the devils."

"In our own Chinese words, this is called a tooth for a tooth, a report for a report."

The temporary headquarters of the garrison regiment, the deployment of the Japanese army in several county towns is being summarized little by little on the map in front of Li Hao.

"Regiment leader, the situation of the Japanese puppet army in Laiyuan City has been clarified." Hong Linfeng raised the information he had just received in his hand and said.

"After reconnaissance: there is still an infantry wing, a heavy artillery brigade, a tank squadron, and a cavalry brigade of the Japanese army left in Laiyuan City, nearly 5,000 people."

"In addition, the Japanese army also transferred a brigade of the Imperial Association Army to Laiyuan City, with a total of more than 3,000 people."

"There are a total of 8,000 people, and the headquarters of the mixed brigade is also stationed in Laiyuan City, which makes it clear that Laiyuan City is operated as a military town, and he does not plan to give up again."

The political commissar's face was very ugly, but he was also helpless.

For more than 8,000 days, the puppet army could not swallow it at the peak of the garrison regiment.

Not to mention now.

Moreover, the 8,000-day puppet army was not exposed to the wilderness, but concentrated its forces to defend Laiyuan City.

It took half a year for the garrison to attack Laiyuan City last time, and it was finally taken down by a strategy.

If you want to take it down now, it's definitely more difficult than climbing to the sky.

With a long sigh, he replied: "Commander, I think Laiyuan City definitely has no hope of regaining it for the time being, there are too many Japanese puppet troops stationed there." It is recommended that the troops temporarily abandon Laiyuan City, first attack several surrounding counties, recapture it, and then surround Laiyuan with heavy troops, like last time, turn it into a lonely city, and slowly consume the Japanese puppet army inside. ”

Li Hao stared at the map and didn't speak.

The order for a counteroffensive from the headquarters he received yesterday.

If you guessed correctly, the long-awaited battle of the hundred regiments has begun.

This was the only major strategic counteroffensive of the Eighth Route Army in several years, and after the counteroffensive was over, the Eighth Route Army would face a heavy blockade by the Japanese puppet army and a major drought that lasted for two years.

At that time, the entire base area will become depressed, and the people will have no food, no clothes to wear, and no salt to eat......

The situation of the troops is even worse, and starvation alone can halve the combat effectiveness......

Everyone's energy is focused on how to solve the problem of feeding the military and civilians in the base areas, and as for fighting devils, it would be good to be able to keep the existing base areas, and they simply do not have the strength to take the initiative to attack the little devils.

Therefore, Laiyuan City will either take advantage of the Battle of the Hundred Regiments to solve it, or it will have to wait for two years to solve it.

In the face of drought and heavy blockade by the Japanese puppet army, the garrison regiment was also in great difficulty, and there were a lot of problems to solve.

At this time, a heavy group of Japanese puppet troops stationed in the hinterland of the base area will definitely continue to attack, bringing a large number of problems and disasters, making the troops unable to defend against it.

Therefore, it is necessary to take advantage of the battle of the 100 regiments to completely solve all the unfavorable factors inside and outside the base area, and then the garrison regiment can concentrate all its manpower and material resources to solve the various problems brought about by the drought and the blockade of the Japanese puppet army to the base area.

Li Hao no longer hesitated, shook his head, and replied with a very firm attitude: "No, political commissar, Laiyuan City must also be solved together." ”

"More than 8,000 puppet troops, with our current strength, we really can't swallow them in one bite, but we can find a way to force them back and make them unable to stay in Laiyuan City."

Lingqiu is the old nest of the garrison regiment, the headquarters of the regiment, and the front-line position facing the garrison regiment.

Originally, the Japanese army stationed two infantry brigades here, a regiment of the Imperial Allied Army, with a total strength of 3,000 people.

I don't know what's going on, but today I suddenly transferred an infantry brigade and returned to Laiyuan City.

Yamaguchi Nakasa was the newly appointed commander of the Lingqiu garrison at the brigade headquarters, and he personally brought the order to transfer troops from Laiyuan City.

There are fewer troops under his hands, and it stands to reason that he will not be in a good mood.

But the result was just the opposite, after entering Lingqiu City, Shankou was completely unaffected by the order to transfer troops, and quickly ordered a large team to rush to Laiyuan, and then under the leadership of his subordinates, he took a look at Lingqiu City, and personally arranged the stationing of various troops, not worrying about the safety of Lingqiu at all.

Ensure that Lingqiu City can react as soon as it is attacked.

At the headquarters of the mixed brigade of the Japanese army in Laiyuan City, the brigade commander stood in front of the sand table, frowning and thoughtful.

He has been in this position for three years and has been assigned to the local garrison.

As a general, watching others match each other on the frontal battlefield and achieve one battle feat, no one will believe it.

Stationed in Laiyuan, let him see a good opportunity to make contributions.

The garrison, although not destroyed, certainly suffered heavy losses.

If you take over Laiyuan Defense and kill it, it will definitely be a great achievement, and if you don't know it, you will soar because of it.

In order to achieve this goal, the brigade commander specially formulated a combat plan to lure the snake out of the hole.

Use Lingqiu as bait to attract the garrison to attack.

He sent troops to reinforce Lingqiu in a hurry, surrounded the garrison outside Lingqiu City, and gathered and annihilated it.

Then there was a transfer of troops from Lingqiu, so that the garrison regiment mistakenly thought that Lingqiu was empty and could be reoccupied.
