Chapter 1246: You Came Too Soon! (Second Update!) )
Report ......
The reconnaissance platoon commander stood at the door of the command headquarters and was very anxious.
The reconnaissance platoon was ordered to keep an eye on Laishui County, and the platoon commander was in such a hurry to come back, something big must have happened.
The head of the regiment asked with a serious face: "Is it that the little devil in the county town has moved?" ”
"Yes, Captain, almost out of the nest." The platoon commander hastened to answer.
"Two infantry squadrons of little devils, plus a mortar squad, a heavy machine gun squad, an infantry artillery squad, and a battalion of the Imperial Cooperative Army, nearly 800 people, will be killed here when they leave the county."
Seeing that the regiment commander frowned and fell into contemplation, the political commissar said first: "Regiment commander, the devil is menacing, our independent regiment fought last night and this morning, although the morale is still very high, but the soldiers are very tired, and the total strength has been sharply reduced to a thousand, and there is not much advantage. ”
"It's daytime, and the devil can still call for reinforcements."
"In this way, our chances of winning a head-to-head battle with the devil are even lower."
"I suggest that the troops abandon the Tangjiazhuang stronghold, temporarily avoid the front, use guerrilla warfare and movement warfare to deal with them, and then counterattack after they are overwhelmed."
"Our task is to hold the Laishui garrison for two days, as long as we drag the Japanese puppet army killed in the county seat, the task will be completed."
The regiment commander didn't finish speaking, his eyes kept glued to the map, his brain racing, thinking of a solution.
The political commissar's proposal is definitely the best for the independent regiment, and the devil will definitely be able to thwart the devil's plot to defeat the independent regiment with the least cost with the best way to fight the devil.
But there is a weakness, this style of play is too time-consuming, and it is necessary to abandon the enemy-occupied area that the troops have worked so hard to capture last night.
If, during the maneuver, the Japanese army transferred troops from other places into Laishui and reoccupied those enemy-occupied areas, the situation that the independent regiment had finally opened up outside the mountains would be gone, and the devils would be forced back to the mountains again.
The regiment commander must not be willing to let the independent regiment retreat to the mountains again, and when he looked at it, Laishui County on the map was targeted by him.
"You just said that the little devils in Laishui County poured out of the nest, so the county is not out of soldiers." The regiment commander asked, staring at the reconnaissance platoon commander.
The reconnaissance platoon commander replied: "Our intelligence officers lurking in the city report that there are less than a hundred little devils left in the city. ”
"In order to ensure the safety of the county, the police and spies were all pulled up to the city wall by devils to help defend the city."
"They also temporarily recruited Japanese people in the city, issued them guns, and guarded the walls together."
The regiment commander's eyes lit up and he proposed: "Political commissar, how about we give the devil a voice." ”
"The troops are divided into two, one part drags the devils to counterattack the troops, and the other part goes to attack the county seat, dig out the devils' lair, and force them to come back?"
The political commissar reminded: "The way is a good way, I am just worried that the troops are not enough." ”
"The devils temporarily recruited the Japanese to assist in defending the city, which shows that they have realized that their troops are insufficient, and they will definitely defend it to the death."
"The left-behind troops, spies, police, and temporarily recruited Japanese in the county town must have more than 500 troops."
"Although their combat effectiveness is not very good, they are fighting a defensive battle and have strong city fortifications to rely on, so it is not as easy as imagined to break through Laishui County."
"If there are fewer troops, the threat will not be achieved, and there will be losses in siege battles."
"There are more troops, and there are fewer people who hold back the devils, and the chance of being eaten by the devil's counterattack troops will also increase greatly."
"Another point, the occupied area under our feet has just been taken, and it must be full of devils' eyeliner, and there are more troops going to the county seat, and it will definitely be exposed."
"Don't take the county seat at that time, but be surrounded by devils outside Laishui City."
"It's a big problem!" The regimental commander was silent for a moment and replied.
"The exposed problem is easy to solve, and we can delay until the evening and then divide the troops."
"It's hard to handle the troops, there are only so many people in the independent regiment, and I can't conjure up hundreds of people out of thin air......"
"Alas!" The head of the regiment sighed and continued: "It's a pity that such a good opportunity, unwilling!" ”
The political commissar didn't know that this was an excellent opportunity for the Independent Regiment to take Laishui County, but the Independent Regiment had too few troops, and it was impossible for him to risk the lives of hundreds of soldiers.
"Report ......," interrupted the commander of the guard company who suddenly rushed in.
"The head of the regiment, the commissar...... Cavalry, the garrison regiment sent a cavalry unit from Yi County to reinforce us, and was assembling in the forest east of the village, led by the commander of the cavalry battalion of the garrison regiment, Zhou, just outside. ”
"Reinforcements?" The regiment commander and the political commissar glanced at each other, and they both saw smiles on each other's faces.
If the garrison sent enough reinforcements, then the plan of attacking the east and the west could be carried out, and the independent regiment would be able to seize the opportunity to win a big battle and completely open up the situation outside the mountain.
He got up from his chair and walked to the door, asking as he went, "Where is Camp Chief Zhou?" How many reinforcements did he bring with him to reinforce us. ”
"If there are many people coming, we will not be afraid of the seven or eight hundred puppet troops that have just been killed in Laishui County."
"Right outside the headquarters!" The commander of the guard company hurriedly led the way.
As soon as he walked to the door, Zhou Wu appeared, saluted, and reported loudly: "Hello chief, I am Zhou Wu, the commander of the cavalry battalion of the garrison regiment, and I was ordered to come over to cooperate with the independent regiment to fight devils." ”
"In two more hours, the cavalry battalion will be able to complete the assembly, and if there is any task, you can give an order, and the cavalry battalion will ensure that the task is completed."
"By the way, the regiment commander also asked the cavalry battalion to bring 500 mortar shells, 200,000 rifle machine gun bullets, and 10,000 heavy machine gun bullets to the independent regiment, which were distributed among each cavalryman, and they could be sent over when they were assembled."
"Hello Battalion Commander Zhou, you must take me with you when you go back, thank you regiment commander, if it weren't for these weapons and ammunition you supported, the independent regiment would definitely not be able to win so many battles." The head of the regiment was already happily closing his mouth, and said with a grateful face.
"And you, it couldn't have come too far."
"We just had a battle plan that ran aground due to a lack of troops, and as soon as you came, the problem of troops was solved."
He asked as he welcomed Zhou Wu into the headquarters.
"Tell me quickly, Battalion Commander Zhou, how many troops you brought in total."
Zhou Wu was blinded by the enthusiasm of the regiment commander and political commissar, and replied with an embarrassed face: "Because the cavalry battalion has other tasks, I only brought four companies of less than four hundred cavalry over. ”
"Enough, enough!" The regimental commander jumped up from his chair again in excitement.
After walking around the headquarters twice with his hands behind his back, he made a very firm decision: "Political commissar, I decided to take the county seat and attack the west." ”
Then he walked to the map and introduced to Zhou Wu: "Battalion Commander Zhou, in order to take revenge on our independent regiment, the devils in Laishui County poured out. I decided to attack the east and west, and the main force of the regiment went to attack the county seat, leaving a part of the troops to cooperate with your cavalry battalion to drag the devil counterattack troops. ”
"The enemy has a total of more than 400 devils, more than 300 puppet troops, equipped with two infantry guns, four mortars, and four heavy machine guns, is there a problem?"
Zhou Wu was also excited, he didn't expect that he would get such a good task just after he came.
More than 700 days of puppet troops, it looks like a lot, but they are all infantry, and they are nothing in the eyes of the cavalry battalion.
Zhou Wu was very confident in the combat effectiveness of the cavalry battalion, but did not show it, after all, he was now a guest army.
After thinking for a while, he asked: "Chief, I want to know who will stay in command and how many troops the independent regiment intends to keep." ”
The regiment commander has been a soldier for more than ten years, and his eyes have long been trained to be sharp-eyed.
Although Zhou Wu hid it well, he still caught a flash of excitement and confidence on Zhou Wu's face.
So he was sure: the surroundings had their own ideas about this battle, and they had the confidence to complete the task.
Holding the idea that there are talents who don't have to be fools, the regiment commander asked directly: "If you are asked to command, how many troops do you need." ”
"Two companies, but they must be good at blocking battles." Zhou Wu blurted out.
The regiment commander became more and more sure of his judgment, and did not talk nonsense, and directly ordered: "Then I will give you two companies." ”
"The guard company and the battalion and company directly under the regiment headquarters are all the elite of the independent regiment, I will give them to you, and you must drag this group of Japanese puppet troops for me."
