Chapter 88 analyzes intelligence and military deployments

Shuihe Village. The Eighth Route Army supplemented the regimental headquarters in the war room.

Yu Genshan: "Well, that makes sense. Chief of Staff, tell me about your troop deployment. ”

Commissar: "Chief of Staff, you wait a minute. Battalion Commander Han, according to the analysis of the chief of staff, I would like to hear what specific ideas you have and your plan for dealing with the enemy. ”

Han Dagang: "Yes." The chief of staff's analysis was completely correct, and it is very likely that the Japanese army would deploy its forces in this way to attack our regiment. However, I don't think the little devil will be able to reach Shuihe Village at all, and it is very likely that he will be ambushed halfway. ”

Yu Genshan was puzzled and asked, "Huh? Ambush devils halfway? Where is the troops? Why is that? Camp Commander Han, what basis do you have for saying that? ”

Chief of Staff: "Battalion Commander Han, you may not know that there are no other fraternal troops in the entire western Hebei region except for our supplementary regiment and county brigade, where can there be other troops to ambush the devils?" No way. ”

Staff Officer Wu: "Yes, the chief of staff is right. Moreover, the county brigade does not know this specious information at all, and they are currently scattered to rest, and it is impossible to gather together to ambush the devils in a short time, and the county brigade does not have such combat effectiveness. ”

Political commissar: "Battalion Commander Han, since you say so, I think you must have some basis." ”

Han Dagang: "Staff Officer Wu, this information sent by Fang Jiren, I don't think it will be some specious information, but specious information, it should be inseparable." ”

Chief of Staff: "Okay, okay, Battalion Commander Han, pick up the important ones, tell me who will ambush the devils, right?" ”

Han Dagang: "Fang Jiren, he will definitely lead his troops to ambush the devil." ”

Yu Genshan: "Haha, Battalion Commander Han, you said that it is possible for anyone to go, but you said that it is unlikely that Fang Jiren, where does he have soldiers in his hands?" Even if there were, they were all wounded and sick. Also, if they lack guns and ammunition, how can they ambush well-equipped devils? ”

Chief of Staff: "yes, I don't think that's possible. If the devil really came to Shuihe Village to sneak attack the replenishment regiment, he would definitely send a few squadrons of troops, as well as tanks, armored vehicles, mountain artillery and cavalry, how could Fang Jiren deal with it? He doesn't have any weapons. Harassment is possible, ambush? That's simply not possible. ”

Staff Officer Wu: "The Chief of Staff is right. Battalion Commander Han, it's entirely possible for you to say that Fang Jiren took twenty or thirty people to harass the devils, but you said that he was going to lead his troops to an ambush? It's impossible, didn't he take the egg and hit it on the stone? ”

"Humph!" Huang Zhongde shook his head disdainfully: "Nonsense, it's completely nonsense." ”

Political Commissar: "Battalion Commander Han, you should have something else to say, right?" ”

Han Dagang: "Yes. Let me start with the forces that Francis may have at his disposal. I guess he can organize more than one company of combat-ready teams to fight ambushes, and it will definitely not be as simple as casually throwing a few guns and throwing a few grenades to harass the devils, and Francis will not do such a futile thing. ”

Staff Officer Wu: "Huh! Battalion Commander Han, the more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes, where is Fang Jiren going to organize a fully formed and combat-capable company? ”

Huang Zhongde: "That's it. Can Francis organize a company? And more than that? Huh? Could it be that Francis, he can do magic? Will he sprinkle beans into soldiers? Battalion Commander Han, how can you have such a strange and unrealistic idea? We are the Eighth Route Army, and this is not a child's game. Don't you talk about these things anymore, don't add to the mess, okay? We have a lot of work to do, and everyone's time is valuable. ”

"Humph!" Han Dagang glared at Huang Zhongde with contempt, and shook his head with a wry smile:

"Well, since Director Huang said so, I have nothing to say. Regiment commander, political commissar, I'm going back to the camp, so I won't cause trouble for you here. Han Dagang got up to leave.

"Wait, don't go yet. Director Huang, how can you talk like this to Camp Commander Han? We should also listen carefully to the different opinions of comrades. The political commissar turned his head to comfort Han Dagang and said, "Battalion Commander Han, sit down." I know you still have something to say, what thoughts and predictions or judgments do you have, can we analyze and study them together? ”

"Alas!" Han Dagang sighed, sat down, and said reluctantly:

"Well, since the commissar asked me to say it, then I will delay everyone's precious time for a while. I'm not responsible if that's what I'm talking about, whether there's such a thing or not. How? I would like to ask a few of you leaders to decide. ”

"Okay, okay, Camp Commander Han, hurry up and tell me what you think." Yu Genshan urged.

"Yes, Commander. I thought that it was possible for Francis to organize more than one company of troops, and in this company there might be slightly wounded and militiamen who had recovered, as well as Kuomintang soldiers. Please think carefully, why didn't Francis bring back a single soldier and militia from our supplementary regiment when he came to Shuihe Village? Also, the three men who led the horses with Fang Jiren looked like soldiers, but none of them knew them in our supplementary regiment, which shows that these three people were former Kuomintang soldiers. A few days ago, after the replenishment regiment was defeated in this area for more than a month, there were almost several hundred soldiers and wounded soldiers, militiamen, and soldiers who were scattered by the Kuomintang troops, right? Francis was so familiar with the area, the villages, and the terrain that he knew how to find people, Tibetans. Treating gunshot wounds, knife wounds, and surgery is not a difficult task for him. With my understanding of him, he will definitely organize a combat-effective force in a very short period of time, so that he can effectively protect the safety of the soldiers and militia who have been found, and will actively cooperate with the supplementary regiment in this area to fight devils. ”

Chief of Staff: "Well, you do have some point. However, Battalion Commander Han, you should know that it is not an easy task to organize a combat-ready unit to deal with well-armed and well-trained Japanese devils. ”

Staff Officer Wu: "That's right. This is a cruel war to the death, and we are facing the Japanese devils who are armed to the teeth and extremely vicious, and this is not something that can be done by going up to the mountains to hunt hares and finding random people. ”

Han Dagang: "I know, you're right. It is indeed not an easy thing for others to do, but it may be relatively easy for Francis to do it. You all know about his military qualities and combat skills, so it is entirely possible for him to organize and command a company. To be honest, I'm not as good as him in every way, but I'm sure I'll do the same if I were replaced. Moreover, now that Francis has left the supplementary regiment, he is still a soldier of the Eighth Route Army, and the regiment commander has given him the task of locating, protecting and treating the wounded and sick and the militia, which gives him full power and space to move freely, and without constraints. In the process of carrying out the mission, it is very likely that there will be a battle with the devil, how can he not organize an armed team that he can fully grasp and command? It may be more beneficial for Francis to do so to replenish our delegation. ”

Yu Genshan: "Hmm. Battalion Commander Han, according to what you say, we let Fang Jiren leave the supplementary regiment, which is still inadvertently crooked, but even if he can organize and lead a company's troops, it will be difficult to deal with the devils. ”

Han Dagang: "Yes, it is very difficult for a company to deal with devils, or even to deal with devils at all." But in order to win this ambush, didn't Fang Jiren already go to the mountains to transfer troops? He should be able to mobilize a company of troops out of the mountain, maybe more. ”

Chief of Staff: "What? Going to the mountains to transfer troops? How could Francis be able to mobilize our troops to follow him to an ambush? Besides, there are no of our brother troops in the nearby mountains, so you're not talking nonsense! Didn't Francis make it clear? He went to the mountains to look for herbs. ”

The county seat of Lin'an County. The front yard of the Fang family compound. In the war room of the Japanese command. Nakagawa and Kawatani Shaosa stood in front of the sand table and discussed and studied while watching. A Japanese captain walked in and saluted.

Captain: "Report to the Wing Commander, the Nanjing envoy and intelligence officer are back." ”

Eiichi Nakagawa: "Nanjing envoy? Our troops rescued him back? Great, where is he? ”

Captain: "No. They had escaped on their own, waiting for the Wing Captain in the living room. ”

Eiichi Nakagawa: "Well, that's good. It's good to be back. After speaking, he walked out of the war room, and Hegu Shaozo followed closely.

Liu Guangxiong, who was covered in dirt and exhausted, and Guo Lin, a secret intelligence officer, sat on the sofa in the living room, and immediately stood up when they saw Nakagawa Eiichi walking into the living room. Eiichi Nakagawa walked over and looked at them arrogantly.
