"I see!"

Du Xingbang raised his head from the large pile of maps and words, and his expression was suddenly realized.

"Danza, you look like you've got something new."

Li Huaizhen stood aside and said that since he got this information at the brigade headquarters, Du Xingbang has been studying it for several days, and it is only now that he can really say a complete sentence.

"Yes, I've gained a lot from this pile."

Du Xingbang stretched his waist with his hands behind his back and said very hard. Jin Suijun's intelligence system is very capable of working, and all aspects of the intelligence of the Lingqiu War are very detailed, especially many details can be placed in front of Du Xingbang's desk. Of course, this is also inseparable from the importance that all parties attach to the battle of Lingqiu.

The first battle of Lingqiu, although the scale was not large, but the scale of the trouble was not small, a main regiment of the Eighth Route Army was able to defeat a brigade in a head-to-head confrontation, and was also able to recapture the county seat from the hands of the Japanese army. Although in the end, the county changed hands and was reoccupied by Sasaki United, but this record is proud enough in the second war zone.

"Tuanza, can you give a lecture to the lowly position?"

Seeing that Du Xingbang should be in a good mood at this time, Li Huaizhen also asked Du Xingbang for advice in a relaxed tone.

"Okay, then I'll tell you about it. After my research, it was not by chance that the 424th Regiment was able to defeat the Nishimura Brigade, but that they had completed the suppression of the Nishimura Brigade in terms of combat effectiveness. ”

Du Xingbang's words made Li Huaizhen a little incredulous.

"Tuanza, with the equipment of their Eighth Route Army, how can they be stronger than the Japanese in terms of combat effectiveness?"

Li Huaizhen's words made Du Xingbang shake his head again and again.

"No, combat effectiveness is not only reflected in weapons and equipment, but also in tactical application and will to fight......"

Regarding this statement, Li Huaizhen nodded in agreement, and then listened to the other party.

"In terms of the will to fight, the Eighth Route Army is very strong. When I was in the south, it was evident that I was able to fight with the chairman for so many years. I haven't fought against them, but I've heard of their tough fighting style. In terms of the use of tactics, the performance of the 424th Regiment of the Eighth Route Army in this battle is also remarkable. ”

As he spoke, Du Xingbang spread out a map in front of Li Huaizhen with a loud bang.

"Come, look. These are the main places where the 424th Regiment and the Xicun Brigade fought in several places, the Black Mountain Pass of Baiyatai, the Buddha Ridge, and the Shangbei Depression near the county seat. ”

Du Xingbang pointed out these positions one by one.

"Good boy, this is a terrible place."

After Li Huaizhen looked at these place names, he sighed. Their 128th Regiment turned out to be the local garrison of Lingqiu22, and they were naturally extremely familiar with the terrain of Lingqiu.

"The Black Mountain Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and a battalion of the Eighth Route Army first held the attack of the entire Japanese brigade here. Later, in the process of retreating, the battalion engaged in an encounter at Foye Ridge, and the result was that the battalion held the mountain and did not let the Japanese bargain. In the end, when the Japanese army returned to rescue the county, it was ambushed by the Eighth Road in Shangbeiwa, and the 424th Regiment succeeded in the first battle. ”

Du Xingbang briefly explained the battle between the 424th Regiment and Xicun, and Li Huaizhen's eyes followed Du Xingbang's explanation on the map.

"There is nothing surprising about the tactics used by the Eighth Route Army, and we can even see every tactical arrangement in the war book. When one of his battalions was besieged, the main force chose to sneak attack the county seat, which was clearly to encircle Wei and save Zhao. And in the ambush battle of Shangbeiwa, it was nothing more than a half-crossing attack.

What is really commendable is the internal command of the Eighth Route Army and the control of timing in battle!

In the first battle of the Black Mountain Pass and the encounter of Buddha Ridge, the ordinary team and the strong force of the Japanese army fought two battles in a row, and the spirit of the soldiers must not be able to withstand this huge pressure. Suppose that among them, the strength of the battalion of the 424th Regiment could not hold up and collapsed. I'm afraid that their main force will not have time to take the county seat and prepare to ambush in Beiwa. ”

Li Huaizhen nodded again and again.

"I see, it's rare that a battalion of the Eighth Route Army can hold out for such a long time. It seems that their will to fight is really strong. ”

"More than that, the firmness of the will is important, but the will cannot be used as a gun. You just said that the equipment of the Eighth Route Army is poor, which may be true, but the Eighth Route Army's use of equipment is clever. It is precisely because of their poor overall firepower that they pay more attention to the concentrated use of firepower.

When they were encircled and suppressed by the chairman of the Southern Breakthrough Committee, they used to use submachine guns and machine guns as sharp knives to break free from the encirclement. In the Battle of Xigou, it seems that the 424th Regiment organized a platoon of submachine gunners to rush and kill on the battlefield.

And it's not just that, I'm more concerned about the white-knuckle battle of the eight roads. After all, the report is still not detailed enough, and many details have been lost and there is no way to collect them. Judging by the results of the battle and the movements of the two sides, they must have had a white-knuckle battle. We all know very well how the devil's stabbing is, and we can imagine what their training is like if we can fight with the devil. ”

Li Huaizhen, who said this, looked at Du Xingbang in disbelief.

"This ...... I really haven't thought about it. Tuanza, according to what you say, are we now being compared to the Eighth Route Army?! ”

"How is it possible, I, Du someone, haven't been like this yet."

Du Xingbang now looks as if he has completely walked out of his previous disgrace and returned to his former high-spirited appearance.

"No matter how strong the Eighth Route Army is, it is only tens of thousands of people. And if you think there can only be one 424 regiment. They are in the ...... of troop replenishment, logistical supply, and communication maneuver It's much worse than us in every way. Maybe their combat effectiveness is very strong, but the reality is also cruel, and their little family background is not enough for them to fight a few battles. ”

Hearing Du Xingbang say this, Li Huaizhen began to mumble in his heart. He had a question that he wanted to ask, but if he did, he felt a little presumptuous.

"Huaizhen, I'm afraid you think about it now, since the Eighth Route Army is so much worse than us, why can they win the battle, but we can't?"

Li Huaizhen was stunned, and Du Xingbang's words hit what he thought. But before he could say anything, he asked and answered himself.

"That's what I thought at first, it's really hard to explain. Our equipment, logistics...... It's better than those mud legs in all aspects, but why can someone win the battle on their side, and we will lose on our side?!

If it is for the sake of relief, the reason is very simple, our Jin Sui army is fighting big battles, and the Eighth Road is all small battles. Indeed, since the Eighth Road entered Shanxi, the biggest battle was only the Battle of Pingxingguan.

But Huaizhen, there are some things I can only say to you. The reason we lost this battle is that we don't understand it as well as the Eight Roads. In front of the Japanese, we will not fight a big battle at all! In the first battle of Taiyuan, those old men in the combat command were simply blindly commanding! ”

Du Xingbang said that Li Huaizhen's back was cold for a while, which can be said to be quite taboo. You know, who is the commander of this battle in Taiyuan? He was the Emperor of Shanxi, the boss of the Jin Sui Army, and the commander-in-chief of the Second Theater of Operations, Chief Yan. As an officer of the Jin Sui Army, he dared to criticize the official!

"In the first battle of Taiyuan, our brothers below did not do their best. But the result? We fight devils like hitting the air, our fists are swung out, but our strength is in vain. And what about the Japanese? Beat us one by one, just like beating our son!

Why? It's not that our command can't do it? The War Department is constantly conspiring, the top and bottom are uneven, the Ding Nai is out of harmony, and the various factions are still doing their own thing, so how can they command properly? An order came down, and he hesitated and repeatedly! Looking at the Japanese again, when fighting, subordinates must absolutely obey their commanders, and they must not drag their orders in the mud and water, so that they can command the troops like an arm.

Compared with the two, we are more than a step behind the devil in terms of reaction speed.

The command from above to the lower is not smooth, and the command below is also chaotic when the brothers are fighting.

When it came to the confrontation, we looked quite intimidating, with machine guns and artillery all available. But the result? As soon as our artillery hits, let's not talk about whether we can hit the devil or not, the position of the artillery array is exposed first. As a result, when the little devil's cannons came over, our cannons were still stupid and fought there, and such good cannons were bombed into scrap metal.

And the opposite? The 424th Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, when it broke through from the encirclement of Sasaki's wing: dozens of kilometers of running, high-intensity marching back and forth like a rabbit, just going around behind the devil! What kind of command does this have to be to be able to do this? Gather one or two thousand people to do this! The Eighth Route Army is much stronger than us in commanding soldiers! ”

Li Huaizhen was told by Du Xingbang to stay there, he had never heard or thought of this. This kind of thing was something he couldn't hear in the military academy at the beginning.

"Strong command, steady and ruthless vision, keen insight. And the enemy has always been, a thousand miles to kill! Yue Siliang, I remember this person.

Little devil, let's come a long way! Sooner or later, I'll get all of this back! ”

Du Xingbang had a deep vision, and what he was thinking about at this time was the letter of appointment that he had been snubbed for a long time.
