If you don't make a sound, it's just a blockbuster!

I have to say that Zhang Qingshan's strategy is really amazing, of course, if you want to say that this strategy is too risky, it is also correct.

You must know that at this time, in terms of pure military overall strength, the Eighth Route Army is far inferior to the national army, but the national army is not as good as the little devils.

Not to mention anything else, as far as fighting bayonets is concerned, it often takes two or three soldiers to take out a little devil, which shows the gap between the two sides. There are many reasons for this, but not having enough to eat is definitely one of the key reasons...... This is not the author's nonsense, but the words of many heroes who participated in the Anti-Japanese War and fought with little devils with bayonets in person. No matter how much training you have, you can't eat enough for a long time, and your strength is definitely weak. Maybe you can still fight with a breath of anger at the beginning, but after fighting for a long time and not having enough to eat, the big shortcomings of the lack of strength will be exposed.

On the other hand, the little devil's meals are relatively much more nutritious and more reasonable...... So much so that until now, the meals of some branches of the Japanese army have continued this similar combination. Thus.

At this time, it is clear that the overall strength is not as good as the other party, and it can be regarded as the ultimate in benevolence and righteousness to be able to desperately fight for more transfer time for the people. But Zhang Qingshan is good, he still thinks about eating more than 4,000 little devils with all his plans, which is enough to surprise people.

Hearing Tian Guozhong's words and seeing his surprised eyes, Zhang Qingshan raised his head and said with a slight smugness, "The little devil's left-flank army is a bait, specially for us to eat, and it has achieved its goal of getting the greatest result at the lowest cost." But our Eighth Route Army is not muddy, if you want to eat, you have to gnaw the most difficult piece of meat, that is called ability. ”

After speaking, seeing that Tian Guozhong was silent, Zhang Qingshan waved his hand and said, "That's it...... Hurry up and report this telegram and the plan I said to the division headquarters, and ask the division headquarters to make a decision as soon as possible. ”

Explaining this, the tactics of the little devil are basically clear: the bait of the army on the left is specially used to drag the new regiment and the main regiment, so as to facilitate the real main force of the little devil, and the two armies, whether it is the strength or the overall strength are absolutely superior, can capture Sanqiao County at the smallest cost, at least eat the soldiers and horses of a regiment on Zhang Qingshan's side, or defeat Zhang Qingshan and them or even disperse, and then, they can win a big victory and attack the hinterland of the base all the way.

Moreover, at this time, the Eighth Route Army was not good at positional warfare, first, because of its lack of experience in this area, and second, because of the serious shortage of weapons and ammunition, especially the artillery and shells necessary for positional warfare. Therefore, Zhang Qingshan's hard-fought half-position battle makes people feel a huge risk.

To put it bluntly, this is a huge gamble, and the most critical point is whether the attack on the weapons and ammunition depot of the little devils in Baoyuan County is successful.

However, fifteen minutes later, a telegram came from the division headquarters: Zhang Qingshan's proposal was rejected and the plan was still carried out according to the previous plan.

With this telegram from the division headquarters, Zhang Qingshan was still a little depressed in his heart, but he could also understand why the division headquarters would reject this plan, and only asked the new regiment and the main regiment to annihilate the little devil's left army as much as possible, and be ready for a counterattack at any time.

First, there is a huge disparity in the strength of the enemy and us, and it is not easy to directly engage in a frontal battle on all fronts.

Although the enemy and us are almost the same in terms of troops, whether it is the quality of the weapons, the quality of the soldiers, or the tacit understanding, Zhang Qingshan and his four regiments are not as good as the little devils.

There are a little more than 20,000 troops on the little devil's side, although half of them are two devils, but the other half has tens of thousands of little devils, and almost all of them are veterans, well-equipped and well-trained, this is where the strength lies.

Originally, there were more than 10,000 devils mixed in, and it might be able to lower the quality of the little devils. But now, the little devils have formed a separate army of more than 10,000 devils, which is clearly used as bait to attract the appetite of the new regiment and the main regiment, and at the same time, it is also equivalent to dragging down the support of these two regiments for the assault regiment and the independent regiment. Moreover, the remaining two armies are basically all little devils, which not only achieve the purpose of traveling lightly, but also give full play to the advantages of 'not many soldiers but fine'. This can be seen in the speed of its march.

On the other hand, on Zhang Qingshan's side, needless to say, there is no need to mention weapons, and the quality of soldiers is definitely inferior to the other party. Even if the training level of these four regiments is the same as that of the little devils, don't forget that the three thousand militiamen, they are all training while working, and their training level is estimated to be about the same as that of the two devils - the two devils are lazy and unwilling to train, and the militia has no time to train.

In terms of tacit understanding, it is definitely not as good as the little devil. After all, these little devils are all transferred from the front line into an organization, and they are together in themselves. And Zhang Qingshan's four regiments on their side, although they all belong to the same division, to be honest, everyone is busy fighting the devils they want to deal with, and they have never trained together at all - fighting the little devils they face separately, and they are also busy developing their own strength. Before these are achieved, it is really not easy to gather all regiments together for training. And the most important thing is that even if the division headquarters gathers everyone together for training, it is impossible to train for a long time. Because in addition to the main regiment, the other three regiments were all local regiments. From this point of view, if all the three regiments of the division headquarters are transferred, then it will be possible to compare with the little devils in terms of tacit understanding with each other.

Of course, there are various reasons that cause Zhang Qingshan to be weaker than the little devils in terms of overall strength.

The overall strength is far inferior to the other party, but he still wants to eat the opponent's mid-lane army in one go, which is a bit of a whim.

At this time, it is precisely to take advantage of the great opportunity of our guerrilla warfare to achieve strategic objectives. Instead of fighting a positional battle head-on, let the little devil use his overall advantage to eat us - the little devil wishes that Zhang Qingshan and they could fight a tough positional battle.

Second, Zhang Qingshan's plan is too risky.

Judging from the map, the little devil's middle army is a little far away from the left army, after all, it is out of the county border, even if the middle army wants to rescue, relying on the mechanization of large cars, and even if there is no obstacle along the way, it has to make a big bend, and it will take at least six hours to reach the battlefield.

However, the middle army of the little devils was too close to the right.

Not only within the same county, but the point is that the two are not that far from each other. Even if you take the main road and go around it back, it will only take more than an hour. Moreover, if the little devil doesn't take the big road at that time, the little devil only needs to take the small road and go straight over, and he can reach the battlefield in forty-five minutes at most.

There are two more points: although the strength of the assault regiment is strong, it is still at a disadvantage compared to the little devils.

At this time, it is absolutely no problem to have a hard time with the little devil and block the strong attack of the little devil's right army in a short time. But the question is, once the army on the right side of the little devil turns around to rescue the army on the middle lane, what will the assault group do to drag the little devil...... The little devil is strong, and he is on the offensive side, and the initiative is in hand, so he naturally wants to go.

Moreover, if the little devil's mid-lane army was not fooled, he would not fight with the four battalions on Qinglong Mountain, but only sent a small number of troops to drag the four battalions, and the large army still marched towards Sanqiao County. When the time comes, in the face of the onslaught of more than 8,000 little devils who pretend to be sick as much as possible, will the assault regiment still be able to defend the county seat?

At that time, it will really be a matter of stealing chickens and rice, and the impact will be huge.

To put it mildly, even if Zhang Qingshan surrounded the little devil's mid-lane army, even if he dragged the little devil's right-lane army, then, just by relying on the two heavily damaged, the soldiers have just been replenished, but they haven't had time to train and run in. With just these five or six thousand people, can you really eat about four thousand little devils?

All of the above shows that the plan is too risky, and the odds of failure are too great to be worth carrying out.

Third, in the long run, this battle must not be a positional battle with the little devils.

Because everyone knows that face-to-face, hard-hitting positional warfare is basically a collision of strengths, and the process is tragic, and the result is inevitably excessive losses.

In particular, the overall strength of the little devils is stronger than that of Zhang Qingshan. Under normal circumstances, there will be a result: if Zhang Qingshan and them fail, the losses will inevitably be miserable. Even if Zhang Qingshan and the others win, it will inevitably be a miserable victory.

Therefore, the result of the positional battle is: Zhang Qingshan's side will inevitably suffer huge losses.

The strength of the Eighth Route Army is still weak, and many things have just started, such as the assault regiment, which has been established for less than a year.

At this time, it is the dormant period, and the most correct way is to grow stronger while fighting, rather than putting all the little strength that has been developed with great difficulty into it for the sake of a certain battle, and finish it in one battle. What's more, it's still in this kind of big battle that is too risky and has little chance of winning.

Fourth, in a strategic sense, the benefits far outweigh the disadvantages, and it is not worth it.

If Zhang Qingshan's plan is followed, even if it is the best result - a miserable victory. So, what's next?

The little devil is now strong and is in an arrogant period, even if this battle completely annihilates the little devil's 4,000 men, but with the current strength of the little devil, coupled with the speed and convenience of its mechanized troops, more troops can be transferred quickly.

On the other hand, on Zhang Qingshan's side, once they lose too much, then the whole situation will be in a position of excessive passivity.

Even if the division headquarters allocates all the troops of the division, not to mention the strength, just in terms of the speed of coming, it is likely that it will not be able to compare with the little devils, after all, the advantage of mechanization is too obvious, and the division headquarters can only walk on two legs, not to mention that the speed cannot keep up, the key is that it is tired enough. When the time comes, the little devil jumps out of the car and fights, and the division headquarters will be in big trouble.

Moreover, the division headquarters transferred all the troops, so the little devil relied on the speed of mechanization and suddenly attacked from other aspects...... In this way, the division headquarters will be too passive, which is equivalent to being led by the nose by the little devil.

Besides, little devils are not stupid. When the time comes, the little devil only needs to mobilize a little troops in other aspects, and the division headquarters will have to leave a part of the troops to fight. In this way, it is equivalent to dividing the troops. Combined with Zhang Qingshan's strength, when the time comes, the strength will be inferior to the little devil.

Therefore, to do so would be too reactive strategically.

Another point, although Zhang Qingshan's plan changes depending on the enemy's situation, the problem is that it changes too quickly. What should be done with the original plan that was previously formulated and communicated and has now been put into action? The battle plan has changed again and again, and it is a big taboo in the army.

......

Thinking about the various problems here, Zhang Qingshan could only look at the starry sky, sighed long, and had to let the troops speed up and continue to advance towards the county seat of Sanqiao County......
