Chapter 650: Deployment Begins

Fighting a war is not child's play, and it requires the cooperation of many aspects in order to formulate the best battle plan, not to mention that Hu Yingze did not come back, and he still couldn't figure out what instructions the division headquarters had for the next work of the assault regiment.

At this time, Zhang Qingshan felt that intelligence was so important, especially in terms of external intelligence, he felt that he was deaf and blind, and everything could only be based on imagination and inference...... Don't look at the fact that his intelligence network in the three counties has begun to be established, and he uses the help of tree branches and people to transmit information, which is faster than ordinary running on his legs to deliver information, but no matter how fast it is to telegraph. Besides, there are three telegraph operators specially approved for him by the division headquarters when he came, and now, those three can only temporarily do some professional labor and production, isn't this a waste of talent?

Therefore, when he received a group of newly landed little devils rebuilding the warehouse fortress at Weijia Wharf, his first reaction was: It would be nice to have a radio station...... It is enough to reflect how anxious Zhang Qingshan is about the backwardness of information, and he is eager to break the backwardness of this information transmission method.

But the problem is that radio stations are a rarity, especially in backward places like Sanqiao County, which are almost impossible to sell, even on the black market. In this regard, Zhang Qingshan could only hope that after the Battle of Taiyuan began, he would cooperate with the action here and seize a radio station from the little devil.

In view of the outdated intelligence, Zhang Qingshan was also a little undecided about the devil's reaction to rebuilding the warehouse fortress at Weijia Wharf: he was afraid of startling the snake and exposing the strength of the assault group in advance, and he was afraid that the devil would take advantage of the situation to become bigger here......

I had a headache thinking about it at the regiment headquarters, but I still didn't make up my mind...... It is precisely because I care too much and attach too much importance to it that I dare not act rashly.

After dinner, Zhang Qingshan called Xiang Tao and walked around the station.

When he came to the heavy place of the warehouse, looked at the closed door, and thought about the food, weapons and ammunition stored inside, Zhang Qingshan felt that his heart was steady, and unconsciously, his pace was much brisk...... Coming to the top of the mountain, the feeling of seeing the small mountains made Zhang Qingshan feel that the depression in his heart was swept away...... He didn't come to check the gang, but after all, he was the head of the regiment, and the soldiers below knew that he was not checking the post when he walked around like this, and they all cheered up suddenly, and Zhang Qingshan, who saw it, was very satisfied with the spirit of the soldiers......

Unknowingly, I actually walked to the house of the old village chief Zhang Degui. Zhang Qingshan's face was full of smiles - I don't know when Zhang Qingshan liked to chat with this kind and wise wise man, especially when he was fine.

From a distance, I saw Zhang Degui smoking a dry tobacco pouch, and a group of children gathered around him, listening attentively.

After glancing at Xiang Tao behind him, Zhang Qingshan walked around the back of the old village chief's house from a distance, and then walked along the wall to the front door of the old village chief's house.

Zhang Qingshan, who had just walked around the corner, stopped when he heard a child ask, "Grandpa the village chief, tell us how you caught that big fish weighing more than ten catties, right?"

"At that time, I was in my early twenties, and at that time, your village chief, Grandma, had just become pregnant with the eldest and was clamoring for fish. I was annoyed by your village chief's grandmother, so I went to the town to buy fish, but I was late and there was no fish in the market. I asked a friend to borrow a boat and a net, and I planned to go fishing myself...... On that day, the weather was very cold, the cold wind was blowing, and the face was painful. At that time, even I thought that it was impossible to catch fish on such a cold day, but I came and came, and I was sorry for walking so far without casting a few nets, so I wondered if there were fish or not how many nets I would cast. Before I could pull the net, the whole net jumped straight up, and even the boat slowly moved forward, and I knew at that time that I had caught a fish, and it was a big fish, and I was so excited that I ...... it."

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart!

Zhang Qingshan listened to it, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he muttered "There are fish or no fish, cast a few nets and then talk about ......", clenched his fists, turned around and walked quickly towards the regiment headquarters. In the end, he actually ran towards the regiment headquarters with a big laugh, making Xiang Tao behind him suspicious......

"Xiao Zhang, find out all the information about Weijia Wharf, and gather all the information on the deployment of Japanese devils in Sanqiao County, Tongren County, and Longfeng County in the past half a month, and explain it to you. When he returned to the regiment headquarters and saw that everyone was chatting, Zhang Qingshan walked quickly to the map as he spoke, took the kerosene lamp handed to Xiang Tao, and looked carefully in front of the map.

Intelligence shows that in the past half month, the Japanese troops in Sanqiao County and its surrounding two counties have not made major moves, and it can even be said that even the two devils have not been dispatched, and it is a quiet mess. In recent days, the number of Japanese troops in the three counties has increased, but the increase is not large, and the largest is Sanqiao County, which has increased by nearly 500 devils...... According to intelligence analysis, the reason for this situation is that during the Battle of Xinkou, the devils were busy concentrating their forces and energy on the Battle of Xinkou, and they only focused on stability in the occupied areas. The second is that the devil is now preparing for the Taiyuan meeting that will follow, and he has no time to take care of anything else.

To put it bluntly, all the attention of the devil is now focused on the upcoming Battle of Taiyuan, and he has not yet freed up his hands to attack the people in the occupied areas. Of course, the reason why the counties and districts will be increased in strength is only to strengthen their defenses. After all, Zhang Qingshan and the others attacked Weijia Wharf last time, giving the little devil a little warning. But because of Zhang Qingshan, the number of people who appeared at Weijia Wharf at that time was only about 300, and there was no direct conflict between the two sides, and it did not attract too much attention from the devils. Even, in the eyes of the little devil, nine times out of ten, the commando regiment is regarded by them as a bandit of a certain size, and the little devil believes that as long as the battle is over, a part of the troops will be deployed to deal with the assault group, and it will definitely be captured. Therefore, the current little devils are mainly concerned with the stability of the occupied areas and the smooth flow of logistics - the little devils do not even have time to harm the people, which shows the importance and urgency they attach to the general battle. Of course, the arrogance of the little devil is reflected from a deeper level: as soon as the Battle of Xinkou ended, the little devil couldn't wait to launch the Battle of Taiyuan. It can also be seen that they are anxious to destroy China. It also reflects how critical the situation was at that time.

After listening to Xiao Zhang's report, everyone looked at Zhang Qingshan, and their eyes showed excitement: war is a stage and a place where the value of soldiers is embodied.

However, after listening to the report, Tian Guozhong, who had just arrived, looked at Zhang Qingshan in some surprise and waited for Zhang Qingshan to make further moves.

Who knows, after Zhang Qingshan thought silently for a long time, his first reaction was to ask him with a smile: "Lao Tian, you say, if I take the Wei family dock now, how will the little devil react?"

Tian Guozhong, who was the chief of staff of the regiment, had long understood what Zhang Qingshan planned to do from Xiao Zhang's report, but when he heard Zhang Qingshan ask, he sighed in his heart: Because Zhang Qingshan's approach was inconsistent with the previous policy of 'using static braking to expand strength' formulated by the regiment headquarters, and this kind of practice of changing in strategy is absolutely taboo for soldiers.

"Needless to say, it is definitely to immediately concentrate forces and fight to the death with us. After Tian Guozhong glanced at him, he looked at everyone again and explained: "Previously, we took the Wei family wharf, and there were only about 300 people who showed up, plus we didn't have a direct face-to-face battle with the little devil at that time, the devil may not pay too much attention to it." However, if we fight the little devil head-on now, the little devil will definitely react if he suffers a big loss, and when the time comes, he will definitely concentrate his forces against us...... I said, Commander, this is not in line with the policy we formulated earlier of 'using static braking to expand strength, do you really want to come out at this time?'

"Strategy can't be easily changed, but it must be in line with the bigger picture, and tactically, we can't just follow the rules and stay the same. After thinking about it, Zhang Qingshan said such serious and far-sighted words for the first time, and it can be seen that his military thinking has matured and has a certain amount of insight.

"As it is now, first of all, our so-called strategy is nothing more than the strategy of our assault regiment, but if our strategy is different from the strategy of the division headquarters or even the strategy of the headquarters, then we must change our strategy and unconditionally obey the strategy of our superiors. But unfortunately, because we do not have a radio station now, we cannot contact the division headquarters in time, so our news is closed and backward, which requires us to get at least one radio station as soon as possible, of course, I will find a way to solve this problem as soon as possible. And tactically......" Zhang Qingshan glanced at the audience and said: " Comrades, we Communists pay attention to seeking truth from facts, so we all know in our hearts that although we have a certain advantage over the little devils in these three counties, we are still inferior to Japan in the general environment, or in terms of national strength, at least in many respects, so our assault regiment must be prepared to change its strategy in accordance with the instructions of its superiors, and at the same time, in terms of tactics, we must pay attention to flexibility and changeability, and if we stick to the rules and forget the essence of guerrilla warfare, then we will suffer losses...... ”

"Especially in these three counties, our strength is currently superior to that of the little devils, so we must grasp and make good use of this advantage......

After saying his opinion in one breath, Zhang Qingshan paused slightly, and after taking a sip of water, he continued: "Why should I fight this battle at this time, the reason is very simple. As the old saying goes, 'When the water is clear, there are no fish, now, let's see, whether the little devils and the second devils in our three counties are very honest, and the slightest murderous appearance of burning, killing and looting elsewhere has not been exposed, just like the fish in a bowl of water, we can see through it at a glance. So, why are they like this? Why are they so honest all of a sudden?"
