After hesitating for a few seconds, he asked very calmly: "Has the combat effect of the Flying Thunder Cannon met our expectations?" ”

The deputy chief of staff hurriedly replied: "It is much better than expected, especially at the beginning of the whole offensive battle!" ”

"In the past, in the face of a small stronghold of devils, even if there was only one turret, it was very difficult for the troops to take it down! Either bomb with mountain artillery and infantry artillery, or fill it with human lives, send death squads to rush up and blow it up with explosives bags! ”

"And what we lack most is heavy weapons, and we are reluctant to fill them with human lives, so we can only watch them stand on the edge of the base area, blockading us, and there is no solution!"

"With the Flying Thunder Cannon, our offensive troops can be called like divine help!"

"Advance the offensive position to a position more than 100 meters outside the turret by digging trenches, and then set up flying thunder and artillery bombing!"

"At most three explosive packs, one turret will lose its combat effectiveness!"

"All the attacking troops need to do after rushing over is to clean up the battlefield!"

"When the attack reached the second half, the Japanese puppet army was prepared, and our offensive slowed down significantly, and we lost a lot of flying thunder guns under the devil's artillery counterattack!"

"But our commanders are also impatient, they don't fight to the death!"

"On the battlefield, the advantages of the flying thunder cannon being light in weight and easy to transfer are directly brought into full play!"

"Carrying a flying thunder cannon and fighting guerrilla warfare with devils!"

"Although many medium and large strongholds have not been taken, they have been blown to pieces by flying thunder artillery, and the defenders have also suffered heavy casualties!"

"As long as we attack again tonight, according to the commander below, we can still take down at least thirty strongholds, all of which are medium and large strongholds with more than one infantry squad garrisoned!"

The deputy commander-in-chief was moved, and immediately asked: "In other words, although our flying thunder artillery has weaknesses, the troops have found a way to restrain these weaknesses!" ”

"Yes, boss!" The Deputy Chief of Staff affirmed!

The deputy commander-in-chief no longer hesitated, and just as he was about to give the order, the communications staff officer hurriedly barged in and interrupted what he had just said!

"Chief, the front line is urgent!"

Before the deputy chief of staff could read the telegram, the intelligence staff officer also rushed over, with an excited face: "Chief, the intelligence officer of our independent mixed brigade has just sent an urgent report!" ”

"They suddenly stopped advancing, then quickly turned around and retreated, divided their forces and withdrew to their original station, marching very fast!"

The deputy chief of staff also finished reading the telegram in his hand at this time, and his expression was very complicated!

"Boss, the front-line combat troops report that the Japanese puppet army is transferring troops from the county seat and large strongholds to reinforce the strongholds that were not taken by us last night!"

"Now the strength of each stronghold has returned to eighty percent of the pre-war level."

The deputy commander-in-chief analyzed with a serious face: "The little devil is planning to defend the stronghold and fight us to the end!" ”

"If we continue to attack tonight, the independent mixed brigade that has just retreated will take the opportunity to launch a counterattack against us, give our attacking troops a head start, knock down our offensive momentum, and make up for the losses of last night with a tooth for a tooth!"

The deputy chief of staff hesitated for a moment and reminded: "Boss, since the little devil has already prepared!" ”

"The independent mixed brigade that killed Laiyuan took the initiative to retreat, and the purpose of our attack this time has also been achieved!"

"Then stop fighting, stop it immediately, and keep our current results!"

"Last night, each base area expanded a lot, and a lot of equipment was seized!"

"Just take the opportunity to digest the results of the battle, develop the villages and towns you just took into base areas, and expand the troops!"

"When the strength improves, it's not too late for us to attack!"

The deputy commander-in-chief shook his head and refused: "No, keep fighting, we can't collect our troops yet!" ”

"Stop now, the independent mixed brigade that has just retreated will be able to regroup immediately and continue to kill Laiyuan, which is only a few days later than before, and it will hardly help the garrison regiment!"

"Only let the separate mixed brigades participate in the battle and fight with our attacking troops! At that time, it will not be so easy to assemble quickly, so that it can be regarded as helping the garrison! ”

"Order: The troops continue to attack tonight!"

"From now on, all base areas can fight according to the enemy's situation, with the aim of killing and injuring a large number of Japanese troops and protecting themselves!"

"Now that the front-line commanders already have the problem of solving the shortcomings of the flying thunder cannon, even if the stronghold they attack is reinforced, it is a problem that can be solved by spending a little more offensive time and using up a few more explosive packs! Not only that, but we can also take this opportunity to break through each and consume the reinforcements of the Japanese puppet army little by little! ”

"If you use them all up, you can attack large strongholds next, and even take down a few county seats!"

"The only thing to worry about is the area where the independent mixed brigade will come back!"

"The Japanese will definitely fight back against our attacking troops there!"

"But for us, the devil's counterattack is not a new fighter!"

"The devil wants us to lose our wife and lose our troops, we can plan and defeat their counterattack troops!"

"If you can't eat a bite, you can eat a few bites, and if you can't eat it, their strikers can always eat it!"

"In a word, the attacking troops can only take advantage of it, not suffer losses!"

"Deputy Chief of Staff, you go and give the order now, just do what I just said!"

"In particular, the few base areas where the Japanese army's independent mixed brigades retreated, the telegram should be emphatically explained: we can only take advantage of them, and we can't suffer losses, but we must pull the devils into the war and let them participate in the battle!"

"In addition, send a telegram to the garrison regiment: the headquarters has promised to delay the independent mixed brigade of the Japanese army for a month, and they can do whatever they want, don't worry!"

The headquarters of the Lingqiu Garrison Regiment, the most difficult half a month has finally passed!

With the end of reclamation, the soldiers and civilians in the base area began spring plowing one after another, and Li Hao's tense nerves were finally relaxed!

In front of the two options of 20 catties of grain and 30 catties of grain, as long as there is food at home, all the folks will choose the ocean!

The grain in the base area can only last for a few days, but it lasted for more than half a month, and it persisted until the beginning of spring ploughing!

But the real problem has not been solved!

The grain that everyone saved through reclamation was only enough to eat until the end of spring ploughing!

After the spring ploughing is over, whether it is to continue reclamation or build water conservancy, and prepare for the upcoming drought, a large amount of grain is needed!

I have already made a guarantee, and I will solve all this food by myself!

And if you want to solve this problem, the key lies in the commandos and reconnaissance companies that have already begun to act!

As long as they can get a clear picture of the enemy situation around Laiyuan and Guangling, then they will have a way to solve the remaining food shortage, and by the way, solve the large-scale attack that the devils are about to launch at one time!

"Regiment Commander, Commando Emergency!"

Communication platoon commander Zhou Liang suddenly broke in and pulled Li Hao back to reality!

Li Hao took the telegram and just glanced at it, and his face bloomed with joy!

Hong Linfeng stood next to him, and after reading the telegram, a diametrically opposite expression appeared directly on his face!

There is solemnity, and there is also worry!

Looking at Li Hao, he was puzzled and asked: "Commander, are you mistaken, this is obviously bad news, why do you see that you are so happy?" ”

"A whole 10,000 puppet troops are scattered around us, large and small strongholds and county seats, even if the puppet army has poor combat effectiveness, it can cause us great pressure!"

"Especially when there are devils supervising the war, the combat effectiveness is stronger than our local troops!"

"If these puppet armies also join in the next heavy sweep and help the little devils control the occupied areas, then our guerrillas and small units operating behind enemy lines will have little room to survive. If you want to be the same as before, it is very difficult to cut off the devil's food channel! ”

Li Hao still had a smile on his face, as if he hadn't heard what he had just said!

Hong Linfeng was anxious, and continued to remind: "Regiment leader, don't underestimate the enemy!" ”

"I know that you have always looked down on the puppet army, let alone their combat effectiveness!"

"But we can't stop them!"

"10,000 puppet troops, no matter how bad the combat effectiveness is, under the supervision of the devils, it is still no problem to fight us with two or three thousand people!"

"And they are all ground snakes, with them protecting the rear of the devils, we guerrillas have almost no place to live!"

"And with them, when the devils attack us, they don't need to divide troops to defend the rear!"

"You can always concentrate superior forces and firepower to attack us, and don't give us a chance to break them!"

The smile on Li Hao's face still hasn't been affected!

Looking at Hong Linfeng, he comforted with confidence: "Don't worry, Chief of Staff, I am not arrogant enough not to take the 10,000 puppet army in my eyes!" ”

"Not to mention 10,000 puppet troops, even if there are 10,000 pigs, it will take a lot of trouble for us to kill them on the battlefield!"

Hong Linfeng was even more puzzled: "Then why are you so happy?" ”

"It's easy!" The confident expression on Li Hao's face became stronger and stronger!

Then he replied in surprise: "I will not give them the opportunity to go to war, let alone form a combat force!" ”

"Some time ago, the base area has been attacked by the devil action team, and their purpose is very simple, not to let us establish a base area, and not to let the recruits we just recruit form combat effectiveness!"

"I'm going to give them a tooth for a tooth!"

"Also, isn't there a shortage of food in the base area?"

"Train 10,000 puppet troops, and the devils must prepare a large number of weapons, ammunition and food!"

"Solve the puppet army, those food, weapons and ammunition are also ours, kill two birds with one stone!"
