"According to me, the commander-in-chief, Deputy Commander Yang and others after research and discussion, and finally decided to organize at least eight regiments of troops to conduct a major campaign against the Japanese army in Longjiang Province, and at the same time, in order to break the current predicament of the Fifth Army Division, according to our discussion and research, it was decided that the goal of this campaign is to ......" Chief of Staff Cui Shiquan deliberately paused for a moment, and couldn't help but smile when he saw that everyone was stretching their necks and waiting for him to answer the doubts in their hearts.

"Our goal in this campaign is the ,...... of Sunwu County," Cui Shiquan loudly announced a news that surprised everyone.

"Commander, chief of staff..." As soon as he heard the word Sun Wu, Chen Hanzhang immediately couldn't sit still and stood up.

"What's the matter, you can tell it!" Seeing Chen Hanzhang with a puzzled face, Meng Qingshan nodded and said.

"Commander-in-Chief, Commissar General, Chief of Staff, isn't this decision too exaggerated. It is true that Sunwu County is heavily guarded by Japanese troops, but not long ago, the main force of the Japanese army in Sunwu County has just been completely annihilated by Comrade Zhaolin and Comrade Facai in the Nenjiang area, and now their county town garrison should be less than a brigade and some puppet troops,... We... Commander, Chief of Staff, are you thinking about changing the number of our operations, I think that relying on our regiment can solve the problem of why the Japanese army in Sunwu County sent eight regiments. Chen Hanzhang asked puzzled.

Not only Chen Hanzhang, but also those generals who knew that Sunwu County was actually a county town that could be broken at will. In their opinion, although the city defense of Sunwu County is strong, it is with their current defenders. With the main force of the Anti-United Nations, which has been armed to the teeth, one main force can be easily defeated, so why send eight regiments. You must know that the eight main regiments that participated in the battle were not a waste of money and labor?

"Han Zhang asked very well, although our target is Sunwu County. But we don't just want to hit it, we have to use it as bait. The First Division of the Japanese Army stationed in Qiqihar has been brought out and defeated, and now let Comrade Cui Shiquan, chief of staff, give you a briefing on the specific situation in Sunwu County. Meng Qingshan smiled at Chen Hanzhang and said.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, Commissar General. That's right, according to the results of a week's investigation by the comrades of the underground party in Sunwu County and our investigators. Sunwu County is located in the north of Heilongjiang Province, at the northern foot of the Xiaoxing'an Mountains, in the middle of Heihe Province, adjacent to Aihui County of Heihe Province in the north, Longzhen County in the south, and Xilennahe County in the south. It is adjacent to Xunke County in the east and is an important transportation hub in the eastern part of Longjiang Province of the Japanese Army. Therefore, after the Japanese army occupied Sunwu County, it turned the entire county into a military base, which was specially used to store materials to prepare for the Soviet attack. In addition, in order to prevent the civilian people in the city from destroying the military base, the Japanese army drove almost all the Chinese in the city except for the traitors out of the county. It can be said that almost all of the entire city of Sunwu County is now full of enemies," Cui Shiquan stopped. He took a breath and continued.

"Secondly, on the military side, the Japanese army in order to protect the Hormozhin fortress. The Japanese troops stationed a wing in the county town of Sungo were led by Yamamoto Aoki Osa, according to internal sources. Three infantry brigades, one mortar squadron. An infantry artillery squadron, a logistics baggage squadron. The garrison has a total of 3,600 people, in addition, a brigade of the puppet army is stationed in Sunwu County, the brigade commander Wang Dechao, under the jurisdiction of three infantry regiments, an artillery battalion, a total of 2,200 troops. In addition to these fighting units, there are also many special forces and police in the city...... The total strength reached 6,000 people. Not long ago, the Japanese army transferred a brigade and an infantry artillery squadron, and then Comrade Zhaolin wiped out about 3,000 Japanese puppet troops stationed in Sunwu County, and now the entire county has about a Japanese army brigade and a total strength of about 2,300 puppet troops of about 1,500 people. ”

"Another point is the problem of urban defense in Sunwu County. After the Japanese army reoccupied Sunwu County, because Sunwu County was an important transit point for Heihe Fortress and Khormozhin Fortress, the Kwantung Army attached great importance to this military base. Therefore, the entire city defense was strengthened on the original basis, and three turrets were added at the front and rear city gates, and each turret contained at least one squad of Japanese garrisons. These turrets are very strong, of course, now after our party lurking in the puppet army in Sun Wu County, after a long period of propaganda and development, now there are two regiment commanders and six battalion commanders, twelve company commanders of the party members, if we attack the puppet army can be solved, at the same time they can also cooperate with us to fight Sun Wu together, now we are mainly facing the problem of the Japanese army brigade and reinforcements, we know only so much about the situation. After Cui Shiquan finished speaking, he nodded to everyone and sat down.

"Okay, just now Chief of Staff Cui has introduced the general situation to everyone, everyone will talk about it and express their opinions." Meng Qingshan looked at the dozens of cadres at or above the regimental level in the conference room and said.

"Commander-in-chief, chief of staff, I have something to say..." As soon as Meng Qingshan's words fell, Hou Guozhong, commander of the cavalry regiment (former deputy commander of the Third Front Army of the First Route Army), stood up.

"Well, head waiting, just say anything about it, today's meeting is to solicit everyone's opinions." Meng Qingshan said with a smile.

"Yes, commander-in-chief, chief of staff, comrades, I didn't know the situation of Sun Wu before I heard the introduction of Chief of Staff Cui, and I agreed with this battle, but after understanding the situation, I felt that as long as we dispatched two regiments of troops, we could take Sun Wu County, and in order to prevent Japanese reinforcements, we could also send one regiment of troops, and three regiments in this battle were enough to use eight regiments......" Hou Guozhong finished speaking, and sat down.

After listening to Hou Guozhong's words, the entire conference room, except for Meng Qingshan, Zhou Baozhong, and Yang Jingyu, the rest of the people nodded one after another, agreeing with Hou Guozhong's words.

"Comrades, depending on everyone's situation, do you all agree with the meaning of Regiment Commander Chen and Regiment-Waiting and oppose the dispatch of so many people..."Meng Qingshan asked with a smile.

"Yes, commander, now that our side has a huge advantage, there is no need to send eight regiments of troops at all, and it is simply overkill for us to attack Sunwu County..."

"Hehe, it seems that the comrades are very confident in this battle..."Meng Qingshan said with a confident look on everyone's faces.

"Commander-in-chief, it's not that we oppose it, we shouldn't send these troops in order to fight a Japanese garrison that is empty, and there are still counties in the city that receive troops" Seeing that no one spoke, Hou Guozhong, the commander of the cavalry regiment, stood up again and said.

"Sit down, who told you that I only hit Sun Wu County, huh? You don't know how to use your brains, didn't I just say that beating Sun Wu County is just a dessert, and the real feast is the first division of the little devils, don't the leaders of the headquarters have a little military common sense? Meng Qingshan said unhappily.

"Ahh Commander-in-Chief, Commander-in-Chief, I know it's wrong, I just slipped away..."Speaking of this, Hou Guozhong stood up embarrassedly and said.

"Well, sit down, listen to the lecture during the meeting, don't desert, and now let's return to the topic of the meeting. Just now, Chief of Staff Cui has introduced to you the deployment of troops in the county seat, and it can be said that Sunwu County is a paper tiger for us, and we can fight as much as we want with the troops and equipment in our hands. Of course, in order to attract the strength of the enemy's first division, I will now ask the chief of staff to give you a specific account of the plan for this battle. Meng Qingshan nodded at Hou Guozhong and said.

After listening to Meng Qingshan's words, the conference room immediately burst into warm applause, and after the applause, all the cadres present stretched their necks, wanting to know how to fight and who to send.

"Comrades, in fact, the method is very simple, as the head of the regiment, you should have used such a method. That is to lure the snake out of the hole, and it is just a pretext to fight Sunwu County, and our real target is the Tokyo Division of the little devils in Longjiang Province. The chief of staff said with a smile.

"But, Chief of Staff, are the little devils so stupid, would they be stupid enough to be ambushed by us?" Xu Hengzhi, the commander of the 17th Regiment, asked suspiciously. You know, the method that the chief of staff said, unless the commander of the little devil is a fool, is simply an impossible task.

"Commander Xu, I want to ask, if the main forces of the Anti-Japanese Federation are dispatched together, jump out of the mountains, and attack Sunwu County, which is at the gateway of the base area, what do you say the little devils of Qiqihar will do?" Meng Qingshan asked with a smile.

"The little devil will definitely send a large number of troops to rescue Sun Wu County, and eliminate us by the way..."Xu Hengzhi blurted out.

"Then how many troops will the little devil commander Kimura Tsuru dispatch?" Meng Qingshan then asked.

"Commander, according to the current situation of the 1st Division, the Japanese army will dispatch about one wing and two regiments of puppet troops... We must capture the fortress of the Japanese army, although the little devils do not know our specific situation, but they will definitely send troops as much as possible. "This time it's a preemptive answer.

"Okay, comrades, now that everyone's doubts have been solved, we must fight this battle well...... Do you have confidence?" asked Meng Qingshan, who interrupted the discussion.

"Yes......" The conference room immediately remembered the neat and loud answer

"Well, from everyone's answers, I heard confidence, and I also believe in everyone, believe in our fighters... Now, I would like to ask the chief of staff to assign specific combat tasks to each regiment..."Meng Qingshan also replied with confidence.

"Comrades, it is now up to me to announce to you the specific combat missions...", the chief of staff picked up a folder and stood up. The cadres below, after hearing the words of the chief of staff, immediately sat upright with their heads held high.

"10 regiments, garrison regiments, mountain artillery battalions of artillery regiments?" Chief of Staff Cui Shiquan shouted loudly.

Immediately after the "arrival ......", three cadres stood up in the conference room.

"Your task is to attack Sunwu County under the leadership of Regiment Commander Chen Hanzhang, and then you will have your own underground party to help you, but you must remember that you must use the strength of two regiments and an artillery battalion to fight the momentum of the main force of the Anti-United Nations. Also, you only besiege but not attack, to convince the Japanese troops in the city that it will take a long time for you to break through them, before the Japanese reinforcements are not dispatched, remember, don't break through the county town in a daze. ”

"Yes." (To be continued......)
