In view of the current situation in Yushe, the commander of the Japanese garrison stationed in Jinzhong also knew that the strategic location of Yushe was very important, and it was also the most active area of the anti-Japanese war forces in Shanxi. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Compared with Jinzhong, an important city in Shanxi, Yushe, located in the southwest of Shanxi, is not even famous. But the Japanese troops stationed in Shanxi knew that these county towns must be controlled and not taken away by the anti-Japanese forces.

Even, their garrison forces in these counties must be able to suppress the anti-war forces operating there. Only in this way can they ensure the safety of the large cities they currently occupy, and play a role in suppression and prevention.

Knowing that the troops attacking the Yushe garrison this time were the Eighth Route Army, which was good at guerrilla warfare, the commander of the Jinzhong garrison also specially dispatched a cavalry squadron to cooperate with the operation. In the eyes of the garrison, the cavalry's ability to pursue and surprise attacks is stronger than that of the infantry.

Even as far as the current situation is concerned, the Eighth Route Army is more active in mountainous areas. But after the start of this sweep, the Japanese garrison was confident that the Eighth Route Army would definitely make a strategic shift. As long as the Eighth Route Army moves, the cavalry will wait for the opportunity to move.

Once the cavalry squadron finds an opportunity, then the pursued Eighth Route Army is bound to suffer heavy losses. At least for the garrison commander of Jinzhong, the Eighth Route Army is currently very active in the anti-Japanese war activities in Jinzhong and Hebei.

This also brought a lot of trouble and pressure to the Japanese troops stationed in the two places. As an invading army, if they want to really rule these places, they must maintain the local situation and not let the Eighth Route Army frequently cause trouble for them.

The elimination of more anti-Japanese troops means that the deterrent power of the Japanese army in Shanxi will be enhanced. Conversely, if the Eighth Route Army is too active and they can't stop it, the Eighth Route Army can rise quickly behind enemy lines.

Sending a force of more than 1,000 people to Yushe at once, for the commander of the Jinzhong garrison, undoubtedly hoped that the garrison troops of Yushe would be able to really fight this sweeping campaign and give a solemn warning to the surrounding Eighth Route Army.

Even, as this support army left for Yushe, the Japanese puppet troops in various counties along the way also entered a state of imminent battle. Once the Yushe side goes to war, the Japanese puppet troops in the entire Jinzhong territory will also be ready to join the sweeping campaign at any time.

It can be said that the garrison commander of Jinzhong is ready to move his whole body. After all, the task of the Shanxi Dispatch Army was to suppress and even eliminate all the anti-Japanese forces operating in Shanxi.

Looking at Qian Weizhong, who was sitting in the conference room with a serious expression, Zhao Tiehu, who participated in the combat meeting for the first time after the Long March, said very directly: "Battalion commander, isn't it necessary for the little devil to be so nervous?" ”

"You guy said it easily, this is nearly a thousand devils and a large number of puppet soldiers! And according to the regiment commander's analysis, once the little devils start a sweep this time, our battalion will bear the brunt! You're not afraid at all? ’

'What's there to be afraid of?' If we're scared, won't the little devils fight? In fact, in my opinion, it's good that the little devil is coming. During this time, I really didn't have a chance to fight with the little devils. This time I finally found my chance! ’

Compared with the other four company commanders with somewhat serious expressions, Zhao Tiehu, who was sitting in the conference room, looked excited. The four company commanders who saw this scene couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: "It's worthy of a mad tiger!" This guy really likes to do crazy things! ”

Listening to Zhao Tiehu's words, thinking of the words of the regiment commander when he left, Qian Weizhong also said directly: "Tiehu, when I came back from the regiment headquarters this time, the regiment commander also said that he would add more burdens to you.

It's just that considering that you are now the captain of the guerrilla detachment, it is not easy for the regiment commander to transfer you to other units. The regiment commander means that the rewards for these battles will be given to you as a commendation, and you will be promoted to the Yushe Guerrilla Brigade.

In the future, you will still make your own decisions about the affairs of this guerrilla brigade, and the regiment will not send you political work cadres, and you will be fully responsible for the affairs of the guerrilla brigade. Do you have any good ideas for this counter-sweep?

Speaking of which, you are also an old revolutionary, and you have also served as a battalion commander before. This time the little devils are coming, and I want to hear what you think. It's all a family, and if you have anything to say openly, it doesn't matter! ”

Turning the guerrilla detachment into a guerrilla brigade is also equivalent to raising Zhao Tiehu's level by one level. It is only in the name of the guerrilla brigade that it is difficult to determine Zhao Tiehu's specific position.

In general, Zhao Tiehu is currently in the 772nd Regiment and should be a special person. At least the four company commanders who attended the meeting today were a little more polite than before when they talked to him.

Even Qian Weizhong, who is the battalion commander, also knows that once Zhao Tiehu is transferred, I believe that the position appointed will definitely be a battalion commander at the very least. Once the 386th Brigade is expanded, it may be possible to appoint an independent regiment or a new regiment commander for him.

At present, all units of the entire Eighth Route Army are in urgent need of experienced battalion and regiment-level commanders, and veteran revolutionaries like Zhao Tiehu naturally have enough qualifications and military merits. The only regret is that Zhao Tiehu used to get sick and go crazy.

Although Zhao Tiehu doesn't seem to be sick at the moment, for some people, they are still worried that in some special circumstances in the future, will Zhao Tiehu's illness happen again?

Once he gets sick, it will affect not only Zhao Tiehu alone, but even the troops under his command. It can be said that the experience of previous illnesses will be a time bomb-like uncertain consideration for Zhao Tiehu's future promotion and appointment.

Facing Qian Weizhong's very polite request for his opinion, Zhao Tiehu was a little moved in his heart, and thought about it: "Battalion commander, don't be too polite with me, I'm a little unaccustomed to it."

Although I joined the revolution very early, I knew what kind of person I was. What's more, whether my illness will occur or not, in fact, I don't know in my heart. I don't think about getting promoted and getting rich now, I just want to fight devils well.

Whether it is the captain of the detachment or the captain, I will do a good job and fight the devil well. I also hope that in the future, if I poke out any basket, you will help me carry some of it. I don't think I can change this crazy energy in my life.

Regarding the next anti-encirclement and suppression operations, I hope that the battalion commander will give us more freedom. I don't like passive defense, I prefer active offense. In these years, there is no rule that anti-sweep must be fought on defense and counterattack, right?

Since the little devils have transferred a large number of reinforcements from Jinzhong and want to eat us in one go, then we can't sit back and wait for them to come to the door, right? My idea is to take the initiative and disrupt the encirclement and suppression plan of the little devils.

As for the battalion, each company had its own fort village and defensive area that had to ensure security. On the other hand, our guerrilla detachment has nothing to take care of. So, I'm going to pull the troops out and contain the little devils to attract their attention.

If I have the chance, I'll lead them into the ambush circle we've set up. At that time, we will gather the strength of our battalion and even the whole regiment to fight a war of anti-annihilation against the little devils. As long as this plan succeeds, they will not have a chance to enter our base and sweep at all. ”

'How many people are in your detachment now?' When my correspondent came back earlier, he told me in person, you still have two mortars in your kid's hand? Was it seized when Zhang Zhuang was beaten or Liu Cheng was beaten? You kid, you know what to hide! ’

Regarding Zhao Tiehu's request for combat independence, Qian Weizhong did not agree. It's just that judging from these few battles, Zhao Tiehu is indeed good at surprise attacks. If he can really contain a large number of little devils, the pressure on the base area will naturally be reduced a lot.

It's just that in terms of the current strength of the guerrilla detachment, once they are bitten by the little devils, then the consequences are extremely serious. After all, among the Japanese troops who reinforced Yushe this time, there was also a squadron of Japanese cavalry.

Qian Weizhong, who had fought with the little devil cavalry, knew very well that the little devil's cavalry was more elite than the infantry. Whether it is cavalry or dismounting, the combat strength of these cavalry is more difficult than that of infantry.

Those two mortars were captured from the little devils during the Yaziling ambush. Our detachment has few people, and we can only use weapons to make up the combat effectiveness. We will also take good care of these two cannons.

As for the strength of our detachment, there are currently three combat detachments, each of which has been expanded to about 15 personnel. In addition to these combat detachments of veterans, there is also a platoon of more than 30 recruits, which is currently being trained.

Next, we went out to fight, and I didn't plan to take the recruit platoon down the mountain, but only the combat detachment out. Those recruits have not been in the detachment for a long time, some have just learned how to shoot, and it is too early to take part in the battle. ’

Zhao Tiehu also knew that he couldn't hide the matter of leaving the two mortars. It's just that for these two mortars, Zhao Tiehu also didn't want to hand them in. If this thing remains in his hands, it can still exert more power.

After listening to Zhao Tiehu's words, Qian Weizhong said with a frown: "With such a few people out to fight, are you sure you can contain the little devil?" You know, the little devil still has cavalry? You're not afraid of being bitten by their cavalry? ”

'I heard you clearly when you reported the enemy's situation just now. The cavalry of the little devil is indeed not easy to deal with, but it also depends on the terrain. The dismounted cavalry was actually no different from the infantry.

Even if I find an opportunity, I will fight the idea of this little devil cavalry first. It is said that the cavalry of the little devils is the elite of the elite. But what I want to fight is this kind of elite. Let's see if it's the devil cavalry cow, or if we're superior. ’

For this kind of cavalry that is about to be eliminated from the army sequence in the future, although Zhao Tiehu has never dealt with it, he also knows that cavalry combat also has limitations. As long as you find the right opportunity to fight these cavalry, it may be easier than fighting the infantry!
