Hong Linfeng looked at Li Hao, and he didn't have any worries, and asked bluntly: "Regiment commander, I also want to increase troops!" But the key problem is that we don't have any soldiers! ”

"The special battalion, the independent battalion, all suffered heavy casualties, even if the more than 400 people just sent by the political commissar were replenished to them, the two battalions would be less than 400 people! Excluding artillerymen and heavy machine gunners, the real combat unit is a little more than a company! ”

"With this little force, how can we reinforce it!"

"Don't hit the devil when the time comes, the reinforcements will fall into the tiger's mouth!"

Li Hao obviously already had an idea, and replied confidently: "The purpose of our troop increase is to fight the little devils, severely damage the troops withdrawn by the Japanese puppet army to the county town, and beat them so that they dare not go out of the city again, so as to create conditions for the main force to establish a base and eliminate the traitor spies lurking in the territory!" ”

"Since it's just a blow to the little devils, as long as we use our tactics properly, we can do it without too many troops!"

Although the garrison regiment won more than once on the battlefield, he was not very optimistic about the situation in Guangling and Laiyuan!

The superiority of troops and terrain are all on the side of the little devils!

Even the common people helped the little devils, passed information to them, and deliberately avoided the Eighth Route Army!

In this situation, Hong Linfeng with the same strength is not sure to defeat the little devil, let alone win more with less!

Hong Linfeng was not optimistic about this reinforcement at all, and he had already refused in his heart, and directly said his thoughts!

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

"For the sake of prudence, I advise the troops to give up some places!"

"We have limited troops, and if we swallow such a large territory as three times the base area in one gulp, we will definitely choke!"

"Judging from the feedback from the battlefield, we are indeed choked!"

"So I think we should also take the initiative to shrink the defensive line: each county first occupies a small area, completely controls it, and then gradually expands outward!"

"One bite can't make a big fat man, we should eat one bite at a time, eat as much as we eat and digest as much as we want, and not be greedy!"

"Saving people and losing land, people and land, saving land and losing people, losing people and land, this has always been the operational policy of our Eighth Route Army!"

"If the troops are wiped out for the sake of the territory of these three counties, and there is not a sufficient number of recruits to replenish the troops, the combat effectiveness will be quickly restored! In the future, the little devil only needs to dispatch an infantry brigade to drive us back like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, and if you don't do it, you will kill us in the base area, kill us, and lose our wife and soldiers! ”

Under normal circumstances, the Chief of Staff's proposal is definitely the best way to break the situation in front of you, safely and risk-free!

But it takes too long!

Wait for the troops to completely control the three counties and establish a base area, I don't know if it will wait until the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse!

The devils obviously won't give the garrison so long!

The reason why the base area should be expanded is, on the one hand, that Lingqiu can no longer support so many troops of the garrison regiment, and there is not enough reserve troops to supplement the troops!

There is another very important reason, the garrison regiment needs greater strategic depth to meet the next round of sweeps by the Japanese puppet army!

Li Hao could guess with his eyes closed that the next sweep of the garrison regiment by the Japanese puppet army would be unprecedented, and a sweep would completely wipe out the garrison regiment and not give the garrison a chance to continue to develop and grow!

If the garrison regiment did not fight down enough strategic depth before the devils swept away, as long as the Japanese puppet army dispatched enough troops, it would be able to surround itself in Lingqiu, not give itself room for maneuver, and then destroy itself little by little!

For the future of the garrison regiment, in order for the garrison regiment to be victorious in the next unprecedented sweep, Laiyuan, Guangling, and Hunyuan, these three counties must be taken by themselves, and they must be taken as soon as possible, and they will be built into an iron-clad base area!

Hong Linfeng looked at Li Hao expectantly, hoping that he could agree with his more pertinent suggestion!

Disappointingly, Li Hao kept frowning, staring at the map, but didn't speak!

After five minutes, make a decision as soon as you open your mouth, and don't give yourself a chance to refute it at all!

"It's better to fight as I say, increase troops in Guangling and Laiyuan, and solve the problem in one battle!"

Hong Linfeng's eyes immediately widened, thinking that he had heard it wrong!

It took a long time to react, and he asked with a look of disbelief: "Regiment Leader, do you mean to reinforce Guangling and Laiyuan at the same time?" ”

"How is this possible, with our little strength, it is not enough to reinforce one place at a time, how can it be possible to reinforce two places at the same time!"

Li Hao replied with a confident face: "Chief of staff, rest assured, I, Li Hao, will never let the soldiers go to Guangling and Laiyuan to die!" ”

"We have already bitten into our mouths in these three counties, and then spit it out, that's not my Li Hao's style!"

"You just analyzed well, swallowing the territory of three counties in one bite is a big deal for us! But as long as we manipulate it well, we definitely have the ability to swallow them in one bite! ”

"My plan is to go in two steps: the first step is to increase the troops, how to increase the troops, how to fight after the troops arrive in Guangling and Laiyuan, and the cooperation of two or three battalions is needed!"

"The second step, adjust the grain!"

"Didn't we seize nearly two million catties of grain in the city? Draw half of it, travel day and night, and transport it to the junction of Lingqiu, Guangling, and Laiyuan counties! ”

"The battle of the main force against the Japanese army is over, and this million catties of grain will be sent to the two counties immediately, and it will be sent in a high-profile manner, so that all the people in the two counties will know that our Eighth Route Army has food in their hands!"

The Japanese garrison headquarters in Laiyuan City, the intelligence staff officer has been in a very good mood these days!

The traitor spies lurking outside the city are all in contact with the intelligence network they are responsible for, and any actions are also organized and ordered by themselves!

A few days ago, the Imperial Army successfully inflicted heavy damage on the two main companies of the garrison regiment and wiped out nearly 408 Route Army, and the Intelligence Department made a great contribution!

As the person in charge, he has also been commended by the commander many times, and promised in public that as long as the intelligence department can make another meritorious service, his military rank can be raised to one level, and then he will directly delegate the troops to grasp the real power and become a veritable captain of the infantry brigade!

Not surprisingly, after this information is delivered to the commander today, he will definitely be one step closer to Captain Shaozo!

"Report to the sir, good news from our intelligence agents lurking outside the city!"

The commander was also very happy!

The Eighth Route Army fights, cunning like foxes, fight if they win, run away if they can't win, it's difficult to bite their main force, let alone kill them!

However, a few days ago, with the cooperation of the intelligence department, the troops killed nearly 408 Route Army with very few casualties, and captured four light and heavy machine guns!

In all the previous battles against the Eighth Route Army, such a result was almost never encountered!

What's more, it was the Imperial Henchmen Garrison Regiment that he eliminated, not the ordinary Eighth Route Army!

For this matter, the military department also sent a special telegram of commendation to encourage himself to make persistent efforts!

He is just a big Zuo, he can bypass the brigade headquarters, division and regiment headquarters, and directly enter the field of vision of the army commander, and he is favored by the army commander, which is definitely a surprise!

Seeing the intelligence staff officer rushing over with a smile on his face, and opening his mouth was good news, the commander seemed to have seen a greater battle feat and beckoned to him, and a pair of eyes began to glow at that time!

Immediately asked, "What's the good news?" Is it that the Eighth Route Army outside the city has moved again! ”

"Yes, sir!"

"In the past few days, the lowly post has made promises with high-ranking officials and weapons, mobilized more than 200 Chinese who worked for the imperial army, and sneaked up on the Eighth Route Army that had been assembled outside the city day and night!"

"Although I don't know the specific results of their sneak attack, judging from the abnormal actions of the Eighth Route Army this morning, the casualties are definitely not small!"

"Abnormal actions, what are they doing today?" The premonition of the battle in the commander's mind became stronger, and he continued to ask!

"As soon as dawn they left the station, and the whole army went out and killed directly at Gongqiao Village!"

"Our intelligence department has set up a liaison station in Gongqiao Village, which is specially responsible for contacting and directing the surrounding Chinese who are working for the imperial army! The Eighth Route Army must have received some intelligence before taking the initiative to send troops, wanting to go there to kill our liaison station, and by the way, to take out the Chinese who sneaked up on them! ”

"More than twenty kilometers from their current station to Gongqiao Village, a normal march of at least five hours!"

"The county seat is only twenty kilometers away from Gongqiao Village, four hours away!"

"I think that we can send troops to lurk nearby in advance, and when the Eighth Route Army attacks Gongqiao Village, launch an attack from behind them, surround them outside the village, and then attack them inside and outside, and annihilate them completely!"

The commander immediately looked at the sand table, and then found the village of Gongqiao!

After thinking for two minutes, he suddenly asked, "What about the scouts of the Eighth Route Army lurking outside the city?" ”

"We want to form an encirclement on the periphery of Gongqiao Village and kill these Eighth Route Army in a battle, at least three infantry squadrons, an artillery squadron, a heavy machine gun squadron, and a few heavy mortars must be reinforced!"

"With so many troops, even if they go out over the city wall, they can't hide from the scouts of the Eighth Route Army!"

"If they let their main force get the news of our dispatch in advance, the Eighth Route Army, which has suffered two big losses in our hands, will definitely retreat, and we will also pounce!"

The intelligence staff officer replied confidently: "Sir, don't worry! ”

"Even if the attacking troops are exposed, it's nothing?"

"I can mobilize all Chinese near the county to block all roads and paths around the county seat!"

"The Eighth Route Army is using manpower to spread the news, as long as we stop these scouts, the news of the troops' dispatch will not be leaked!"

"And it will take time for them to spread the news, even if someone evades our blockade and interception, and when they send the news to the Eighth Route Army, the battle has already begun!"

"A late message will not have any impact on the outcome of the battle!"

"Also, even if the Eighth Route Army retreats temporarily, we won't have anything to lose!"

"But if this operation is successful, the Eighth Route Army in Laiyuan will be wiped out by us!"

There is no loss if you lose, and if you win, it is a great credit!

Hearing this, the commander was completely moved and made a decisive decision!

"Yo Xi, don't miss the opportunity and don't come again, then we will fight, and the troops will be dispatched in half an hour!"

"The intelligence department immediately took action to organize the Chinese who were working for the imperial army outside the city, completely blockade Laiyuan City, and prevent the scouts of the Eighth Route Army from transmitting information!" ()
