Chapter 966: Changing the Plan (Second Update!) )
Li Hao was happy for less than half a minute, his face returned to calm, and then he fell into deep thought.
He suddenly noticed that a huge fighter plane was appearing in front of him little by little.
The original plan was to put the little devils into the base area, use the depth of one or two hundred kilometers in the base area to fight guerrilla warfare and movement warfare with them, cut off their logistical line, and strike at their baggage troops...... Use the means that the Eighth Route Army is most often good at against the enemy, slowly consume them, accumulate small amounts, and then force them back.
However, there is also a huge price to be paid for doing so!
Wherever the Japanese army went, there was definitely no grass growing in the base areas.
I wonder if there will be ordinary people who will be killed by devils in this anti-sweep.
The troops must also bear tremendous pressure, not only to fight the devils and use far less troops than them to target them and drag them down, but also to cover the transfer of the common people in the base areas and ensure their safety, taking care of both ends.
It is certain that after such a big battle, the base areas will not only suffer huge economic losses, but also suffer huge casualties.
In order to alleviate the combat pressure of the troops, Li Hao racked his brains before he thought of using a three-dimensional fortification three kilometers deep on the edge of the base area to consume part of the Japanese puppet army, and then let them enter the base area.
What Li Hao didn't expect was that this three-dimensional fortification group combined with the flying thunder cannon and anti-aircraft machine gun equipped by the garrison regiment would burst out with such great power.
Kill more than a thousand little devils in one battle.
The losses of the Japanese army were greater than he expected, which made Li Hao have the idea of annihilating this Japanese puppet army in his heart.
Huang Sheng stood in front of him, seeing Li Hao's face constantly changing, he thought that he had made a mistake, and hurriedly asked.
"Commander, is there something wrong?"
"That's right!" Li Hao shook his head.
"I'm wondering if we have a chance to swallow the little devil in front of us in one bite."
"Take the elimination of them as a breakthrough to win this counter-sweep."
Huang Sheng's first reaction was shock, and then he quickly calmed down and analyzed with a frown.
"The total strength of the Japanese puppet army on this road is more than 6,000 to 7,000 people, and more than 2,000 people have been killed by us, and there are more than 4,000 people left."
"Tomorrow we will kill a thousand more of them during the day and night, and there will only be more than three thousand left."
"We gather heavy troops, and there is a real chance that we will swallow them in one bite."
The more Huang Sheng spoke, the more excited he became, but after his eyes returned to the map, he couldn't get excited.
Get serious again.
Shaking his head, he replied, "No, Commander." ”
"I only thought about the little devils here just now, and I didn't think about the other three ways."
"We have a Japanese puppet army about thirty kilometers on the left and right flanks, and after the devils here are attacked by us, they will definitely desperately reinforce them."
"Thirty kilometers may seem like a lot, but for a well-trained devil, it can be done in more than four hours."
"With them, we will definitely divide a large number of troops to deal with them, and it is impossible to concentrate too many troops to encircle and annihilate the Japanese puppet army here."
"Although their troops have suffered a lot of losses, they still have a lot of heavy artillery and tanks, and their combat effectiveness must be very strong.
"The chances of trying to swallow reinforcements in one gulp before they arrive are almost zero."
"If the battle can't end in time, we will be surrounded by little devils and the enemy will be attacked on our backs."
This question is not difficult for Li Hao.
After frowning and thinking for another minute, he immediately made a decision: "This matter is so decided, do everything possible to swallow the Japanese puppet army here, so as to win this counter-sweep." As for the problems you just mentioned, I'll solve them. ”
"The troops fought well tonight, and I will leave you all the ammunition captured, as long as you have a guarantee."
"Tomorrow during the day and at night, I will kill a thousand more puppet troops for me."
"At the same time, keep the casualties under control."
"In the final encirclement and annihilation battle, the three battalions will participate in the battle as the main force."
"If you lose too much, you don't have a chance."
The worry on Huang Sheng's face disappeared, and he became excited again.
"Rest assured, as long as there is ammunition, I will definitely be able to complete the task."
Li Hao nodded, stared at the map for a minute, and then continued to order: "For the time being, I will give you a specific location, lead the troops to cover alternately, lead the little devils there, and then surround and annihilate them." ”
More than 3,000 troops, plus artillery, tanks, and baggage vehicles, the team can stretch for almost five kilometers.
To fight during the day, a battlefield that stretches for five kilometers is needed, and it is also necessary to guard against Japanese aircraft reinforcements, which is too difficult, Li Hao decisively gave up this choice, and decided to wait for the Japanese puppet army to camp at night and launch an attack to encircle and annihilate them.
But another problem arises.
The Japanese puppet army that he had to deal with was too cautious.
Last night, in order to guard against the night attack of the garrison regiment, two lines of defense were established on the position; On the battlefield, the situation is not good, and retreats decisively; When attacking during the day, they come up with artillery bombardment and abandon tentative attacks......
These are the best proofs.
After entering the base area, the devil will definitely be more cautious and choose a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack as a station.
Then heavy troops were drawn to defend it, and the temporary garrison was built as hard as a turtle's shell.
It must be difficult for the troops to take them.
Li Hao locked himself in his room and thought about it for a whole day before he came up with some ideas.
At the command post of the third battalion, Huang Sheng stood at the lookout with a serious face.
The operational pressure today is significantly greater than yesterday.
The nine lines of defense recaptured in the evening consumed a total of one morning for the Japanese army, but they still relied on aircraft, heavy artillery, and tanks to open the way, and broke through six lines of defense in less than four hours.
Fortunately, it was still dark in one hour, and if there was one more hour during the day, the remaining three lines of defense of the troops would definitely be breached.
"Order the commander of the second company, Li Company, to retreat after throwing grenades after the next Japanese attack begins."
"Tell the commander of the third company that his position can no longer be lost, and he must hold it at any cost and hold on until the Japanese army retreats."
"It's getting dark, and the little devil won't be able to fight for a few minutes."
The two communicators immediately rushed out of the headquarters and went down the traffic trench to give orders.
At this time, Huang Sheng had already begun to think about tonight's night attack.
How to achieve the maximum result with the minimum casualties and complete the task of killing a thousand Japanese puppet troops.
Just then, the operator rushed over.
"Battalion commander, regimental commander ordered."
"After the three battalions completed their tasks, they alternately covered the retreat and brought the Japanese puppet army to Laiyuan City, but they must control the speed of the Japanese puppet army's march through movement warfare and guerrilla warfare, and ensure that they rush to Laiyuan City in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow, and have no time to attack Laiyuan City, and be stationed outside the city at night."
"Outside Laiyuan City?" Huang Sheng's brows were immediately twisted into a Sichuan character.
It is more than forty kilometers away from here, and the surrounding terrain has long been engraved in his mind, if he remembers correctly, there is no battlefield suitable for ambushing little devils at all, especially outside Laiyuan City.
