Chapter 694: Hit Cheng'an Town
The north wind is howling, the flag is hunting, in order to facilitate the march and battle, Qiao Youhua and Guo Meng equipped the guard battalion with fifty military trucks, these trucks were captured from the devils before, which can completely ensure that the more than 1,000 soldiers of the guard battalion do not have to march on foot.
Together with four No. 4 tanks and eight armored vehicles towing eight 88mm anti-aircraft guns, more than 60 tanks and trucks formed a huge convoy and left the Longya Military Academy along the road, bypassed the county seat of Pingshan, and headed north.
The personnel had been re-replenished to the Dragon's Tooth Cavalry Battalion of more than 750 people, and they rode horses to follow.
In less than a day, this assault force, which had been basically mechanized, rushed to Lingshou County, where the regimental headquarters was stationed.
Jiang Haidong, commander of the 1st Regiment, immediately summoned his officers at and above the battalion level and began to assign combat tasks in accordance with the battle plan drawn up by Qiao Youhua.
Within the scope of these three county towns, a total of three guerrilla detachments belonging to the First Regiment of Longya were active, and their number had reached more than two or three hundred, and the total number of available soldiers had exceeded two thousand with the militia in the base areas they had created.
Among them, only 40 percent were able to exert their combat effectiveness, and the reason was very simple, that is, the base areas of these small guerrillas were established too early, and it was too late to train and arm all the suitable soldiers.
Therefore, in order to safely return all the available troops to the base camp of a regiment, it is not enough for them to rely on the strength of these guerrillas.
Because after they leave, the people within the base area they created are likely to be retaliated against by the Japanese puppet army, and there will definitely be many blockades and interceptions on the road.
This urgently needs the main force of the Dragon's Tooth Regiment and Qiao Youhua's temporary reinforcement of the assembled assault force.
The main force of the first regiment had to be stationed in Lingshou, Xinle and Xingtang counties, as well as some important towns and towns within their subordinate areas.
There is only one battalion of mobile forces that can be used, so this time the response and recovery battle should be based on the assault troops brought by Qiao Youhua.
However, the devils and the puppet army will definitely not have too many mobile forces available, as long as the garrison of a regiment and its bordering areas does not decrease, correspondingly, the devils and the puppet army will not dare to move lightly.
This is a kind of mutual containment that affects the whole body.
In the headquarters of the First Regiment, Qiao Youhua, Jiang Haidong, Liu Yidao, Zheng Yunshan, Liu Jianhua, and others were surrounding the combat map, discussing how to implement the battle plan.
"Commander, regiment commander, according to reliable information from our guerrillas, in the enemy-occupied area bordering our regimental defense area, the most powerful of the devils and puppet troops is the area from Dingzhou to Anguo, and the strongest combat strength is the garrison in the area of Cheng'an Town, which is closest to our forward troops!
The weakest strength is the area of Quyang County, which is close to the remnants of Taihang Mountain, where the geography is remote, the population is not large, most of the garrisons are puppet troops, and the proportion of devils is less.
Anguo has a brigade of puppet troops stationed, mainly taking into account the defense of the junction of our first regiment and the third regiment, so its strength is not weak. Liu Yidao, the deputy head of the first regiment, pointed to the battle map in front of everyone and told Qiao Youhua and Jiang Haidong about it.
Jiang Haidong looked at Qiao Youhua sideways, and said: "The situation of our three guerrillas is just the opposite of the devil, the strongest is one, operating in Quyang County, Dingzhou has become the weakest one because the devil and the puppet army are too strong, but it is not bad, the combat personnel have grown to two hundred, after all, it has only been two months."
Although we have the strong support of weapons, ammunition, silver dollars, food, and medicine in our base areas, it is also very valuable.
You see, which county do we start with? ”
Qiao Youhua looked at the sphere of influence marked by the combat adjutant staff officers on the map, and said with high spirits: "If you want to fight, you will fight hard, don't the devils have heavy troops stationed in Cheng'an Town?" Then let's concentrate our efforts, the **** son of a bitch's Cheng'an Town! ”
Liu Yidao said with some concern: "Commander, the devil has been operating in the north bank of the Shahe River in Cheng'an Town for a long time, building a large number of permanent fortifications, and stationing heavy troops, rashly attacking head-on, I'm afraid it will be very difficult!" ”
Qiao Youhua said: "Lao Tzu is fighting the elite, and what he smashes is their permanent strong fortification group, so it is decided, the cavalry battalion is responsible for advancing to the territory of Anguo County to adopt the tactics of mobile warfare, containing the Japanese puppet army in this area, and at the same time to get in touch with our small group of guerrillas in the territory."
Assist them as much as you can, cross the enemy-occupied area, and break through and withdraw to the defense zone of our 1st and 3rd regiments!
The main task is to contain the puppet army of the brigade in Anguo, and not to give them any chance to transfer troops to reinforce the battle on the battlefield in Dingzhou.
Dingzhou, Quyang two counties to meet the battle by me personally, this time we must give the little devil and the two devils a little color to see, the enemy-occupied area to turn him upside down! ”
Seeing that Qiao Youhua was so confident, everyone no longer had any worries, and they all stepped forward and responded: "Yes!" ”
It's not that Qiao Youhua is arrogant, but he really has enough arrogant strength, the combination of the No. 4 tank and the 88mm anti-aircraft gun, killing the fortifications built by the devils and the puppet army, it is absolutely not a problem, plus a main battalion of a regiment and a guard battalion whose firepower has been greatly strengthened, this is the foundation of Qiao Youhua's strong self-confidence.
The reason why we want to fight the most difficult Cheng'an Town and Dingzhou, in addition to the fact that Qiao Youhua has already investigated the situation here on the spot when he went to Kunlun Mountain last time, is mainly because he thinks from the standpoint of devils and puppet soldiers.
They would have felt that their Shahe Cheng'an Town defense line was unusually strong, as steady as Mount Tai, and if the Dragon's Tooth Column suddenly launched a surprise attack and succeeded in destroying their strong fortifications, tearing through the defense line they were so proud of.
It is conceivable how much impact and deterrence the puppet army and devils in Dingzhou and even Baoding will be, and they will be stunned by the powerful combat power displayed by the Dragon's Tooth Column.
In this way, the devils will definitely do everything possible to draw troops from other places to support the Dingzhou battlefield, so that Qiao Youhua can remotely command the second regiment, the third regiment and other other troops, take the opportunity to attack on all fronts, and cooperate with the small guerrillas they dispersed, and successfully complete this recovery operation plan.
Therefore, this is a very critical move, which seems to be dangerous, but as long as the first step is won and the whole game is lived, the Dragon's Tooth Column will achieve an extremely favorable initiative situation, so as to achieve the ultimate combat goal.
