Chapter 67: Prepare for a Counter-Sweep!
Zhao Tiehu, who knows his own family affairs and knows something about his own situation, knows very well that his experience of falling ill at the end of the Long March will affect his future military life. www.biquge.info It's just that for him, he doesn't care if he can be promoted.
Just like Zhao Tiehu, who was accustomed to the smoke of war after retiring from the special forces in his previous life, he was really not used to the ordinary life of ordinary people. In the end, he gave up the job arranged by the government and finally chose to go to Africa to become a mercenary.
It is rare to travel to the Anti-Japanese War period, Zhao Tiehu knows that he is just a mortal, he doesn't know many things, and he is also not proficient in human affairs, and the only thing he is good at may be to fight and kill people.
The higher the position, the more responsibility and pressure you have to bear. Thinking of sitting in the rear every day to command the battle, but watching his subordinates fighting bloodily on the battlefield, Zhao Tiehu felt that he didn't like this kind of life.
On the contrary, it is the life of being on the front line and fighting with the little devil in close quarters, which can make him even more excited and happy. And this time, he asked for the right to fight independently, more in the hope of more freedom, so that he could enjoy a killing feast as much as possible.
After the meeting, Qian Weizhong finally agreed to Zhao Tiehu's request and decided to use the Hutoushan detachment as a mobile force, and the rest of the companies were ready to retreat and transfer when the defensive counterattack followed.
For Qian Weizhong's trust, Zhao Tiehu is still grateful. In fact, Zhao Tiehu also knows very well that these battalion and company commanders are very polite to him who is no longer sick, and no longer regard him as a simple veteran.
On the way back to the base after leaving the battalion headquarters, Zhu Chengxi, the commander of the third company, said sincerely: "Tiehu, do you want to transfer some troops from the company to you?" If the little devils start an encirclement and suppression next, I'm afraid you will be under a lot of pressure! ”
'Company commander, forget it! In fact, if the little devil really wants to retaliate, Sanlian is afraid that he will bear the brunt of it. The previous time, you cooperated with us to fight Zhangzhuang, and with the intelligence gathering ability of the little devils, I am afraid that you already know some things.
On the contrary, it is our Hutou Mountain, because we have been staying in the mountains, except for the occasional time when we are fighting. In addition, it has been occupied by bandits earlier, and many people and little devils are afraid that they don't know that the bandits have been exterminated.
If my prediction is correct, the little devil must not know the situation of Hutou Mountain for the time being. In this way, once the little devils start to carry out a sweep, their first target of revenge will definitely be Sanlian. Therefore, the company commander should prepare early! ’
As Zhao Tiehu said this, Zhu Chengxi thought for a while and said, "Listening to you say this, it seems that there are several truths. So what do you think I should do next to ensure the safety of the troops and fellow villagers? ”
"Company commander, as you know, I've been sick for a few years, and I'm actually not very good at operational command. Before participating in the revolution, I was still a half-grown boy, I didn't know anything, and I relied on luck and not afraid of death to finally become the battalion commander.
I don't really have a good idea of what to do with the next sweep of the little devils. If you really want me to say, that is, the soldiers will block, the water will flood, and you will fight with them. It's just that we can't just work with them, but we have to play to our strengths.
But there is one thing I think you need to be careful about, and that is that you can't let the villagers stay in the village, or move them into the mountains in advance. Even if you want to leave some people, it's best to keep some young and strong legs and feet.
In addition, you must also be mentally prepared to clear the wilderness. Once the little devils attack in a big way, they will still abandon the village at the appropriate time and introduce the little devils into the mountains to fight guerrillas, and I believe that the little devils will not last long.
When the little devil is gone, we will come back and rebuild the village. As long as the people are okay, we can rebuild the village at any time. In addition, in the past few days, you must pay more attention to the situation in the village and the surrounding area, and be careful of people scouting and ventilating the news. ’
Thinking of the Anti-Japanese War period, the little devil was also very good at bribing the people in some base areas to provide military intelligence. Zhao Tiehu felt that it was necessary to remind Zhu Chengxi. After all, you can't have the heart to harm others, but you can't have the heart to prevent people!
Even if Wangjiawa is a Baolei village developed by Sanlian, it is also difficult to keep a person who reports the news. In these years, there are always some people who love to be cheap. For these people, they don't care about politics at all.
They only care about one thing, and that is to whom they can bring them good. Therefore, in order to ensure that the arming situation of the Third Company is not leaked, it is indeed necessary to do a good job in the work of keeping intelligence secret.
I want to know if there are people in the village who report to the outside world, and whether there are people who often wander around outside the village to spy on the situation for the little devils. You only need to arrange more lurking posts around the village, and I believe that you will gain something.
Regarding Zhao Tiehu's reminder, Zhu Chengxi thought for a while before saying, "You mean, there are enemy spies in the village?" ”
I didn't say that! I just feel that the more you get to this point, the more you need to be careful. If we really let the little devil know our every move, then what do you think will happen next?
After moving the villagers into the mountains, it is best to explain to them in advance and not to go out at will. Otherwise, let the little devils touch the hidden places of the fellows, and you can also think of what the consequences will be!
As for the spies of the little devils, no one dares to guarantee this kind of thing. Maybe some fellows don't want to be spies for the little devils, but they want to take advantage of it. In this regard, you should know that little devils have always been very good at threatening and bribing some people to do their best! ’
Zhao Tiehu, who has combat experience in later generations, is very clear about the importance of accurate intelligence for a battle. At present, the little devils will inevitably launch a sweeping campaign, and the Eighth Route Army will also respond.
Whoever can grasp the opponent's intelligence and troop movements one step ahead will be able to grasp the initiative on the battlefield. In this case, Zhao Tiehu felt that no matter how cautious he was, he would not be wrong. After all, this is related to the lives of countless people!
When the two were separated, Zhao Tiehu said very seriously: "Company commander, in this battle, we should avoid letting recruits participate as much as possible." If this is really not possible, you must also remember to fight and withdraw at the same time, and you must leave a way back for the troops.
In this counter-sweep, I may jump outside the encirclement of the little devils and carry out an operation. So, when you are really in trouble, I'm afraid I won't be able to support you in time. Therefore, you must be extremely careful. ”
As a soldier from the Third Company, Zhao Tiehu is still grateful to Zhu Chengxi for taking care of him during the period assigned to the Third Company. If he had enough troops at his disposal now, he would have chosen to fight alongside the Third Company.
In addition, Zhao Tiehu felt embarrassed, and he also felt that the little devil suddenly organized a large army to sweep this time, and it was very likely that he caused trouble. But in the end, it is possible for Sanlian to take up a thunder for him.
In this case, he didn't want to see too much loss in the third row. Therefore, before leaving, Zhao Tiehu still reminded Zhu Chengxi. At this stage, they are not qualified to fight the little devils!
Acknowledging this reality can be uncomfortable. But blind self-confidence is also very deadly. Even in the eyes of many people, Zhao Tiehu is impulsive and irritable. But in fact, before each action, Zhao Tiehu would make an assessment of the outcome of the battle.
If the odds of winning the action are not good, Zhao Tiehu will also not go to the brute. That's not heroism, it's an act of seeking death. Moreover, as a commander, the consequences of being blind and arrogant often affect the countless soldiers who listen to his command.
After returning to the base from a meeting at the battalion headquarters, Liu Cheng, who was in charge of training at the base, also reported on the training. After listening to Liu Cheng's report, Zhao Tiehu also said directly: "Lao Liu, we are going to have a big action this time!" ”
A short sentence made Liu Cheng's heart tighten: "Is the little devil going to sweep up?" ”
'Hmmm! According to the situation detected by the division headquarters, the little devils stationed in Jinzhong suddenly sent a force of more than 1,000 people to rush to Yushe two days ago. The Japanese puppet armies in the cities along the way also entered a state of imminent battle.
Although there has been no large-scale exchange of fire at present, judging from the little devil's move to mobilize troops this time, I think that this support force was invited by the Japanese army stationed in Yushe. Naturally, they didn't come as guests, they definitely came for us.
At the previous meeting at the battalion headquarters, I had already asked the battalion commander for the right to fight freely, and then our detachment would not participate in the defensive operations of the first battalion. As for how to fight next, let's discuss it again.
Big head, go and call the three team leaders, and we'll have a meeting too. Anyway, the little devil suddenly increased his troops in the Yushe, and I think it was we who hurt the little devil twice. This time, they are attacking in a big way, and I am afraid that they want to retaliate against us.
Even if it is a matter of course for us to fight little devils, but this time the whole group has been dragged down, so we should also do more. It's just that our troops are limited, and if we want to hurt the little devils, we need to sum up! ’
'Got it! How many troops did the little devils send over this time? ’
'Half a brigade of infantry, a squadron of cavalry, and a brigade of puppet troops. According to the information received by the regiment commander, many of the puppet troops drawn from Jinzhong this time were adapted by the Japanese army's defeat of the Jin Sui army.
Therefore, this puppet army has good combat effectiveness and equipment. If we really want to fight, some of our troops may not be their opponents. So this anti-sweeping campaign, I'm afraid it will be very difficult! ’
After telling some information about the enemy, Liu Cheng, as the deputy detachment leader, also seemed a little worried about Zhongzhong. After all, he knows very well that every anti-sweeping campaign will cause a lot of losses to the Eighth Route Army!
