Speaking of this, Li Ziyuan looked at the two leaders in front of him, gritted his teeth and said: "The headquarters of the Cross Ridge Breakout this time seems to be so passive and has suffered such heavy losses, and the Japanese heavy troops have discovered the location of the headquarters in a short period of time. Except for a certain reason of our own, it is with that Mashiko Shigeo who has been biting the headquarters organ. ”

"Our headquarters is too large, and there are so many non-combatants and female soldiers in several major agencies, and we are too slow to move. This Japanese advance team took advantage of the slowness of the headquarters to oppose the enemy in our core base area and bite the headquarters organs. ”

"And take advantage of their own camouflage to fish in troubled waters to disrupt the formation of our breakout organs, non-combatants, and guide Japanese artillery fire and heavy troops to intercept our breakthrough troops. The two chiefs, Liao County, is the core area of the Taihang base area, and when it comes to intelligence advantages, it should be on our side. ”

"But in this breakout operation, our army fell into such passivity. It was this advance team that took advantage of its own advantages, and the fact that our headquarters was too large and too slow to move, that it was never able to get rid of it. In the end, the heavy Japanese troops led by it gathered and surrounded the cross ridge. ”

"Actually, if our headquarters were lighter and more flexible, even if these advance teams were specially trained. But in our core area, it's not hard to get rid of them. After all, we have an absolute advantage in the terrain and people's sentiments here. ”

After Li Ziyuan's words, the deputy commander-in-chief and the deputy chief of staff glanced at each other and nodded. Li Ziyuan said these things, the two leaders also saw it. is very interested in the new term beheading proposed by Li Ziyuan. The deputy commander-in-chief is a commander-in-chief-level figure, and the deputy chief of staff is also a military master, although Li Ziyuan's analogy is not thorough, but both of them know the meaning behind it.

The deputy commander-in-chief was even more interested in Li Ziyuan's statement: "Li Ziyuan, if you have something to say, just say it thoroughly, don't hide it in front of us." When dealing with the Japanese army, you are an expert in this area. The description of beheading, is your metaphor very vivid? ”

Hearing the words of the deputy commander-in-chief, Li Ziyuan touched his nose but was not ambiguous: "Two leaders, this is not my blind guess. From the three Japanese advance teams, we found photos of the commander-in-chief, you and the deputy chief of staff, as well as our division commander and political commissar. ”

"Of course, these photos are absolutely different from what you really look like. I don't know where the Japanese army got these inexplicable photos that are very different from the appearance of several leaders. But the names and identities of the leaders are clearly marked above. ”

"Judging from the photos carried by these Japanese advance teams, they used their camouflage to penetrate deep into our base area. The main task is to cooperate with the large forces of the Japanese army to find the whereabouts of our main forces. Another important task is to take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters. ”

"A high command is the head of an army, and a high commander is the head of a high command. The Chinese used to compare the head to the first rank, and cutting off the head is called decapitation. These spy forces that the Japanese army painstakingly trained this time went directly to the headquarters and division headquarters. ”

"It is clear that we want to knock off the head of our army and cut off the head of our army and the entire Taihang base area. Therefore, I think that the real intention of this operation of these Japanese advance troops can be called a decapitation operation against our army. The real purpose of the Japanese army's training of these advance units was to behead the high command of our army. ”

"Of course, if there are many guard troops around our headquarters organs, these Japanese advance teams of more than 100 people are not so bold. They will guide the Japanese heavy army group to quickly encircle the organs of our headquarters. The Battle of Cross Ridge is the work of these guys. But if our headquarters are scattered by them, it will be their fighters. ”

"However, these three advance teams were formed by the 36th Division. Although the soldiers of the Japanese army have high military literacy and combat effectiveness, they are also quite strong. The selection of members was not a difficult thing for the Japanese army. Their veterans basically have similar tactical literacy. ”

"As long as you do some targeted training, you can basically qualify. However, this kind of combat cannot be solved by military quality alone, and for an army like the Japanese army, military quality is the smallest difficulty. What needs to be overcome in other areas is far greater than the difficulties encountered in military affairs. ”

"If nothing else, just one language barrier is not something that can be broken through in a short period of time. Even if the cultural quality of these Japanese is high, it may not be easy to learn the dialect of the southeast of Jin at once. Judging from the level of vigilance in our base area, if half of the people do not speak Chinese, I am afraid that his entire battle plan will be easily exposed. ”

"Moreover, our China is a vast country, and the customs and language habits of various places are quite different. Even if they transfer spies from the northeast, their identities will be exposed when they come to the southeast of Jinjin. So I think these three Japanese advance teams are already their full strength. ”

"According to my judgment, the advance team formed by the 36th Division is probably only these three. And the other Japanese troops who participated in the sweep, whether there were similar weapons, I did not come into contact with them, so I did not have a say. However, I think that with this kind of advance team, the Japanese army could not form too many at once. ”

"The main source of intelligence that the Japanese army swept this time, in addition to radio interception and deciphering our army's code. Most of them still rely on traitors deployed in our base areas, bribe spies or develop through special means, and even plot against captured personnel or traitors among our army and local cadres. ”

"The Japanese army has not succeeded in making such a great effort this time, and I think they will definitely not stop there. My suggestion is that Headquarters should still take some precautions in this regard. What the Japanese army did was what I couldn't get on the battlefield, and I did everything possible to do it in other ways. ”

"I also knew at the beginning that I was no match for the Japanese army with this new battalion. But at that time, I had only one thought, that is, this Japanese army must not let go. In this world, there is only a reason to be a thief for a thousand days, but there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days. Letting them go is equivalent to leaving a great hidden danger to the headquarters. ”

"This Japanese army has been specially trained, and its elite level is far above the first two. In addition to being able to carry out the tasks of the first two Japanese advance teams, this Japanese advance team also has combat effectiveness far exceeding that of the first two advance teams. As soon as I fought this Japanese advance team, I sensed that something was wrong. ”

"The actual combat ability is far from being comparable to the other two. If the Japanese decide to use them against the headquarters again, it will once again pose a danger to the headquarters. Therefore, I made up my mind at the beginning, even if this battalion was exhausted, at least this advance team would be disabled, so that the Japanese army would not dare to use this kind of force. ”

In fact, for the advancing team that fought in the end, whether in terms of equipment, tactics, and tactics, Li Ziyuan had a somewhat familiar feeling. It's always as if I saw something special in this Japanese army. But Li Ziyuan just didn't come up with it, this must be a specially trained Japanese army, where did he see those familiar things on his body.

After Li Ziyuan finished expressing his opinion, the deputy chief of staff nodded and said: "Your analysis is very pertinent, and it is basically consistent with the judgment and opinions of the boss and me. After the Japanese army has failed to achieve its desired goal, it will certainly step up its infiltration into our base areas. ”

"The loss of all three of their spy forces in your hands means that the new tactics they implemented this time have only partially succeeded, and they have failed in the overall situation. However, some of the problems you mentioned are also the specific reasons for the current existence of the headquarters. The next step at Headquarters will be to develop a streamlining programme to reduce the size of the Headquarters organs, particularly non-combatants. ”

"This Japanese sweep has taught us a profound lesson. There are some things that seem to require great determination to rectify them. You are very right, there are only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no thousand days to prevent thieves. It's a bit rough, but it's true. This time, the headquarters organs suffered such a big loss when they broke through the siege, and our own reasons were also very large. ”

"There's one more thing you may not know. This Japanese advance party did not enter through the ground, but by parachuting into the vicinity of the headquarters. And as soon as they landed, they were already noticed by us. Although these guys are well camouflaged, our Eighth Route Army may carry out airborne operations no matter what. ”

"When they were airborne, they were already discovered by some of our militia. And we have also found some air-dropped weapons packages that they did not find when they assembled, as well as parachutes that they hastily buried. ”

"It's just a pity that our means of communication are too backward. The local armed forces were unable to find the headquarters, but were captured and killed after encountering the Japanese advance team on the road. It directly caused the headquarters to be passive in judging the battle situation. When fighting this advance team, a new battalion was given the main combat mission. ”

"None of us thought of it, though. It's really not easy for you to gnaw on such a pot of hard bones in the end. We were poorly equipped, short of ammunition, and had no artillery support. Even if the combat strength of the Japanese army was only more than 100 people, according to the terrain at that time, a complete formed battalion would not necessarily be gnawed down. ”

"I didn't expect such a well-trained, well-equipped, and relatively favorable terrain to rely on, and you took a new battalion to solve it like this. Although the whole battle is a bit passive, there is a certain reason for this. But the price you paid was great, but you took it. ”

Speaking of this, the deputy chief of staff looked at Li Ziyuan and put a map in front of Li Ziyuan: "Do you think it is better to transfer the headquarters organs to where next?" At present, although the intensity of the Japanese army's sweep of the Taihang base area has been greatly reduced, it has not completely ended the sweep. Headquarters organs, at least for a short time, are facing a certain threat. ”

"Didn't you say it before, these three Japanese advance teams were all formed by the 36th Division. It is still very unclear whether the Japanese army in other directions has formed a similar spy army. The headquarters suffered a lot of losses in this breakthrough and needed a certain amount of time to recuperate. ”
