Chapter 10: Battle Plans
As an experienced commander, Ma Zheng knows very well that a unit cannot become elite through training, and the title of elite needs to be fought in actual combat, and it is the steel obtained after blood and fire quenching.
In his previous life, Ma Zheng was a professional soldier, and he also fantasized about leading thousands of troops and horses to gallop on the battlefield, snow the humiliation of his ancestors, and raise the national prestige of China. But when everything really came, Ma Zheng really felt his insignificance. In the absence of guns and artillery, soldiers inferior to men, and weapons inferior to people, all he can do is to use the advanced military knowledge in his head and the foresight of history to build a real elite.
Ma Zheng has never been a person who is afraid of things, and he has no right or qualification to be afraid at this time! In this life-and-death battle related to the fortunes of the country, victory will lead to prosperity of the country, and defeat will destroy the country and extinction.
The troops have just found a foothold in the Chanan area, but they are still far from really opening up the situation. First of all, it is important to note that they are new to the country, and they have not yet fought against the Japanese army, and people do not even know that an Eighth Route Army has arrived in the southern Chasa area.
As a result, Ma Zheng's headquarters has not yet won the recognition and trust of the local people, so the supplies and personnel of the troops cannot be replenished, so they urgently need a victory to boost morale and open up a new situation.
At the battalion headquarters, all cadres at and above the platoon level had just received the order and immediately went to the battalion headquarters for a meeting.
When all the officers arrived at the battalion headquarters, Ma Zheng had already been waiting there for a long time, and after everyone arrived, Ma Zheng got up and said: "After half a month of training, our troops are already in shape, according to my estimates, as long as we continue to hold out for a month and a half, then our combat effectiveness can be stabilized." But it's a pity that we don't have so much time, so we can only use combat as a substitute for training, and achieve the purpose of training through actual combat. ”
"Battalion commander, so we're going to war?" Wu Xiuda said excitedly.
"Well, I just got the information, a transport squadron of the Japanese army arrived in Longshengzhuang, the county seat of Fengzhen, last night, with a total of twenty or thirty trucks, all loaded with weapons and equipment, our task is to take down this batch of equipment!" Ma Zheng said loudly.
"Battalion commander, as far as I know, there are no large Japanese troops stationed nearby, why are they transporting so many weapons and equipment for?" Huang Sicheng asked with a frown.
"It is said that these weapons and equipment are used to form a puppet army, and the Japanese army has only stationed a total of one division in Suiyuan and Chahar provinces, and it also has to face the pressure of Fu Zuoyi's headquarters of the Jin Sui army, and the troops are stretched, so they can only maintain local law and order by forming a puppet army. However, weapons and equipment are needed to form troops, and the Japanese army captured a lot of weapons and equipment from the Nationalist Government in the battle some time ago, so they mobilized some of them to prepare to transport them to Guisui. Ma Zheng replied.
"It stands to reason that such a large transportation task should be transported by train, how did it become car transportation? Could there be fraud in this? Wang Hansen also asked.
"Probably not, there are no forces in the northern part of the country that can threaten the Japanese army, so there is no need for them to act in this drama. The only possibility is that they will have to distribute these weapons and equipment to nearby Qi counties as they go, and in some places there are no railways, so they can only be transported by car. Ma Zheng analyzed.
"Battalion commander, how are you going to fight?" Huang Sicheng asked again.
"A strong attack is definitely not possible, a reinforced squadron of the Japanese army was originally stationed in the Fengzhen area, with a total of more than 200 Japanese troops. In addition, the Japanese squadron responsible for escorting this batch of equipment, with a total strength of more than 400 men, is almost the same as us, and there is no difference between attacking and sending them to death, we must outwit them. Ma Zheng said.
"Outwitted? How to take it? Huang Sicheng asked again.
Ma Zheng unfolded a self-made map and said: "Everyone, please see, this is Longshengzhuang, here is Hongshaba Town, and here is our Hades Mountain, with 50 kilometers in the middle. Although the Japanese army stationed a reinforced squadron in the Fengzhen area, in order to consolidate the rule of the defense area, they dispersed a large part of their forces to the towns below, and a reinforced squad was stationed in Sanyiquan, Jubaozhuang, Heitutai, and Guantunbao, and there were less than 80 people actually stationed in the ready-made area. ”
"Since Hongshaba Town also has a railway passing, there is an infantry squadron stationed here, there are about 40 devil soldiers, there is no puppet army, can we give them a siege point to send reinforcements!"
Huang Sicheng said in a deep voice: "It's no problem to encircle the point and send reinforcements, but even if we win, what can we do, can't there be a squadron of Japanese soldiers established, and we won't be able to attack at that time?" ”
"There is no need to attack, as long as the encirclement and reinforcements are completed, then we can give the little devil a fish-eyed mess, and the troops disguised as devils will return to the county seat, so that they can easily enter the city." Ma Zheng said.
Huang Sicheng and the others thought for a while and said, "Although it's a bit risky, it's worth a try." ”
"Next, I will assign combat tasks, and the first company, the second company, and the special combat team will set up an ambush on the road from Fengzhen to Hongshaba. The third company was responsible for the siege of Hongshaba, and the task of the guard platoon was to blow up the railway to Hongshaba before the battle began, and immediately after the task was completed, rush to Fengzhen County to join the large army. The women's special service company stayed behind to guard Hades Mountain to prevent other bandits in the vicinity from sneaking up. ”
"In particular, I want to emphasize the three companies, remember, your task is not to take Hongshaba, but to beat the devils in Hongshaba Town, and make them ask the devils in the county for help. Pack some firecrackers and other things when you go, and bring at least two spears per person. In addition, I will make some wooden shelves, and I have already drawn the drawings for you. ”
After speaking, Ma Zheng asked loudly: "Do you all understand your respective tasks?" ”
"Got it!" Everyone replied in unison.
"Okay, it's ten o'clock in the morning, and at five o'clock in the afternoon, as soon as the sun sets, let's set off, and now we all go back and prepare!" Ma Zheng said.
"Yes!"
December 28, 1937 is a day worth remembering, and on this day, an elite unit that shocked the Japanese army finally showed its fangs to the Japanese.
Before the troops set off, Ma Zheng gathered all the soldiers in an open wasteland, and he wanted to make a pre-war mobilization for this battle.
After the troops were assembled, Ma Zheng stood at the front of the troops, and then said loudly: "Comrades, soldiers, brothers: we should be proud, although we have backward weapons and insufficient training, maybe our casualties in the battle are indeed greater than the enemy, but we still swore to fight to the death, and gave the enemy heavy casualties, we have made the enemy blood for blood." ”
"In this war for the survival of the race, we, the sons and daughters of China, were not afraid of a strong enemy and fought to the death against the invaders. Despite the huge disparity in national strength, we still made the invincible Japanese "Imperial Army" pay a heavy price. No matter how long it lasts, whether it is five years or ten years, we will eventually hold out until the day when Japan declares defeat and surrender. Remember our slogan? ”
"As long as you have the guts!" Ma Zheng asked loudly.
"Bullets slip away!" Everyone replied in unison.
"Just be bold!"
"Hades are not afraid!"
"Devils are dogs!"
"The more you encourage it, the more it roars!"
"Devils are wolves too!"
"The more you are afraid of it, the more crazy it becomes!"
"What is our purpose?"
"You can fight, you can win! If the sun invades me, I will become a god! China has me, and I will not die! Immortal! Immortal! ”
The roar of blood was deafening, as if it was about to break through the sky of the Heavenly Domain, and it could not be dispersed for a long time!
