Ma Biao glanced at the rough list of seizures, obviously a little unwilling, not for Yang Tianfeng's distribution, but for the huge amount of materials after the autumn harvest.
"The cavalry consumes a lot of money and needs a lot of supplies, I know this." Yang Tianfeng pondered for a moment and said, "Even if you can't defend Shangqiu, the autumn harvest must still be defended, and Brother Ma doesn't have to worry about this." ”
Ma Biao nodded, smiled bitterly, and said: "It is difficult to replenish the cavalry, especially the horses and good riders, Qinghai is too far away, and the transportation is extremely difficult. Therefore, the first cavalry division has to build a new infantry brigade, and this requires more help from Brother Yang! ”
"Fifteen hundred men are appropriate for the infantry brigade." Yang Tianfeng agreed, "The weapons and equipment are sufficient, and I can also provide the training instructors." As for the horses, I can do it here or not, and I will give them all to the first division. ”
"No, no, that's not how it works." Ma Biao waved his hand again and again and said, "I can receive some horses, but other supplies must be reduced, or not wanted." Without compensation, I can't take it for nothing. ”
"Brother Ma is polite." Yang Tianfeng is also not humble, although he does not want to form a cavalry unit that has fallen behind, but he also does not want to suffer in vain.
"Zhang Lanfeng is dead, are his men and horses useful?" Ma Biao felt that if he could be directly recruited, he would be able to form combat effectiveness faster than the newly recruited soldiers.
Yang Tianfeng thought for a while and said: "You can't use everything, and after eliminating the weak and retaining the strong, it is best to disperse as a supplement to the troops, rather than forming an army alone." I am ready to suppress those ruffians, bandits, thieves, and officers and soldiers who are more evil. If these guys are dismissed at will, they will definitely be troublesome, either traitors again, or they will harm the people. ”
Ruthless enough! But Ma Biao disagreed, Yang Tianfeng was reasonable, in the long run, the east and west of Henan will be their territory, and the unstable factors will be eliminated early.
"The Longhai Railway is very threatening and must be demolished." Ma Biao got Yang Tianfeng's suggestion, and he also had a bottom on the replenishment of soldiers, so he cared about the devil's reinforcements.
"It's already being demolished." Yang Tianfeng paused and added: "More people will be mobilized tomorrow, and the speed of road demolition will be greatly accelerated." ”
Yang Tianfeng did not order the troops in the base area to break the railway at Yongcheng or Dangshan, he had his considerations. If the railway is interrupted around the base area, the devils who come to help may pose a threat to the base area, and the Chen detachment and the Tong detachment alone are not completely sure that they will be able to resist it. Therefore, he wanted to let the devils enter the vicinity of Shangqiu and use the army here to fight the devils.
As for Zhecheng, more than 600 devils have changed from defending to defending to death, and the strength of a brigade of the 81st Division, plus the Zhou Regiment and the first of the four detachments, has already besieged the city. Moreover, the besieging forces are digging trenches and approaching, and the countdown to the capture of Zhecheng has begun.
"I have asked the First Regiment of the Second Cavalry Brigade and the two brigades of the Chiang Detachment to attack Yucheng (now Limin Town)." Yang Tianfeng paused, pointed to the map on the table and explained: "Fight Shangqiu instead of Shangqiu, if Yucheng can be recovered, I want to fight here against the Japanese army coming from the east." ”
Yucheng County is located in the middle of the alluvial plain of the Yellow River, located in the south of the North China Plain, and has the saying of "three gangs, eighteen solids, two zes, and one embankment". Although it is also a plain area, the terrain has a lot to offer.
Moreover, Yucheng is only twenty or thirty miles away from Shangqiu, and there are only more than 100 devils and hundreds of puppet troops stationed in it.
This shows the significance of the Shangqiu attack, as soon as the important town was lost, the enemy was destroyed, and the other surrounding enemies showed an empty appearance. Just like Zhecheng, after being surrounded by heavy troops, the small strongholds outside the city will be easily broken one by one.
Highly dispersed stationing troops was a forced choice for the Japanese army, who made them too greedy and occupied so much space! At the same time, it is also to bully the anti-Japanese armed forces with insufficient heavy weapons and weak ability to attack fortifications. But against the three verticals, this weakness is exposed.
The occupation zone was so vast that the Japanese army had divided its garrison into pieces and stationed it in a large number of squad and platoon strongholds in order to control the occupied area. Even if a division can only maintain the mobile strength of one brigade, the control of the occupied areas is still not very effective. Until the fall of Zhongtiao Mountain in 1941, the guerrilla forces behind enemy lines on both sides were not only alive and well, but also in the mood to "rub against each other."
Ma Biao looked at the map, stretched out his hand and pointed at Xiayi, and said: "If you capture this place, the entire eastern Henan will be in your pocket." ”
"If you can win it, of course it's the best." Yang Tianfeng pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Actually, the county seat or important town may not have to be conquered, and it is not possible to grow grain and cotton, but the countryside is more important. Leaving these places that need to be heavily defended by the devils can better contain their forces. For example, Kaifeng's political significance is far greater than its military significance. Even if it is Shangqiu, if the situation is unfavorable, we can take the initiative to give up. ”
Ma Biao seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and fell into thought. Just then, a staff officer hurried in with an emergency telegram in his hand.
Yang Tianfeng took it and looked at it briefly, smiled and handed it to Ma Biao, "It's good now, the war zone is going to take the opportunity to fight a conference battle!" ”
Ma Biao read the telegram, let out a sigh of relief, and did not hide his smug expression, "From the Huaiyang battle to the battle, and then to the current battle, it is all driven by our strength. Now that I think about it, I really can't believe it at first! Look at how many people have been mobilized, and even southern Jinnan and northern Henan are responding to us. ”
"Yes, this is what it looks like to fight together." Although Yang Tianfeng only took a cursory look, the troop movements were already clear, and even the Eighteenth Group Army had to take action.
It has to be said that only when all parties in the War of Resistance are sincerely united and united with the outside world can the Japanese army be constantly consumed.
Taking the historical Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain as an example, before the loss, the national * army in Zhongtiao Mountain pinned down at least three divisions of the Japanese army, so that the situation of the Anti-Japanese War in North China would not deteriorate. After the fall of Zhongtiao Mountain, the Japanese army in North China liberated the mobile strength of these three divisions, and Okamura Ningji, a powerful fellow, took office again and adopted a series of new means and tactics, which immediately brought the Eighth Route Army in North China into the most difficult period.
Everyone understands the truth, but sometimes it is difficult to follow, especially when it comes to the interests of the group.
In view of the current situation, all parties were somewhat surprised, the Japanese army was deploying troops, Wei Lihuang was increasing troops to help the war, Yang Tianfeng also launched his own relations, ordered the Tong detachment and the Gongshan brigade and other guerrilla forces, and coordinated the Gui Army based on Dabie Mountain and the New Fourth Army in Ludong to exert pressure on the Jinpu line and contain the Japanese army to the greatest extent.
