Chapter 683: The Changing Battle Situation (Third Update!) )
The chief of staff's analysis is very difficult to listen to, and to put it more seriously, it has already somewhat boosted the morale of others and destroyed his own prestige.
However, Wang Ping did not stop him from continuing, because his analysis was all facts, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as hitting the nail on the head.
When a new regiment fights, the commander cannot always have his tail cocked, thinking that he is invincible in the world and sitting in a well and watching the sky. Instead, we should be clear about the enemy and recognize the opponent before we can win the battle.
Seeing that the two battalion commanders listened to the more solemn their faces became, and in the end, they had lowered their heads, and they were about to lose a little confidence in defeating the Japanese puppet army.
Wang Ping replied again in a startling voice: "The chief of staff is right, the Japanese puppet army that has come over for reinforcements will indeed not divide their troops, otherwise they will not stop at Tianxin Town now. However, we can find a way to force them to divide their forces and create their own fighters! ”
"Many people think that in the face of the heavy encirclement and suppression of the Japanese puppet army, we will be beaten passively except to retreat!"
"This idea is not right, we can also take the initiative to attack, lead the devil by the nose, and take the initiative to create fighters to fight them!"
After speaking, Wang Ping asked Xiong Changhe: "Does the first battalion still have physical strength, and can it continue to fight!" ”
"Yes!" Xiong Changhe reacted immediately, and then stared at Wang Ping with bright eyes.
As long as Wang Ping showed such a serious expression on his face, it meant that Wang Ping had already thought of a solution.
Wang Ping continued to ask: "Guerrilla warfare has not been forgotten, has it?" ”
"No, when I was a platoon commander in the past, I often led people to fight guerrillas with the Japanese puppet army!" Xiong Changhe replied confidently.
"Nope! What I mean by guerrilla warfare is not the same as the guerrilla warfare you used to fight. When you were a platoon leader, there were only twenty or thirty subordinates. But you now have a battalion in your hands, and I want you to use the strength of a battalion to fight guerrilla warfare with devils and coordinate command! ”
Xiong Changhe was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Wang Ping with a look of incomprehension.
Wang Ping explained directly: "In the past, when you fought guerrillas, you must have just hit and run. However, I now ask you to combine all kinds of tactics such as sneak attacks, luring the enemy into depth, and so on. ”
"Around the Japanese puppet army garrison in Tianxin Town, prepare a huge guerrilla battlefield for the devils."
"Sneak attack devils, devils continue to sneak attack without moving, until they send troops out to fight back. When the time comes, as long as there is a chance, give me the devil attack troops! ”
"Of course, how to fight depends on the actual situation on the battlefield!"
Xiong Changhe frowned and thought for a minute before he reacted.
"I understand, regiment commander, you asked me to force the devils to divide their troops, and then concentrate their forces to kill the devils' attack troops."
"Yes, I used to use this method on devils a lot, and I couldn't do it all the time. Even if the devil knew that this was a conspiracy, he couldn't help but send troops. Otherwise, he will wait for us to sneak attack one night, and still lose his troops! ”
"Please give the order to the regimental commander!" Xiong Changhe's eyes shot out two rays of light directly, and he had a eager expression.
Wang Ping was not polite, and directly began to order: "Take your people, I will transfer a mortar platoon from the mortar company to you, set off now, strive to return to Tianxin Town in the early morning, and use the method I gave you to clean up the devil!" ”
"Sneak up on them with light and heavy machine guns first, and if they don't react, blow them up with mortars!"
"Li Wen of the direct team will also go over together, he is an expert in this area, you can discuss any problems together."
As soon as Xiong Changhe left, Yang Huping next to him became anxious, and immediately asked, "Regiment commander, what about our three battalions?" ”
"There are also missions, and I plan to prepare a surprise for the devils on the way they must come!"
At the headquarters of the Japanese army brigade in Linfen City, the brigade commander Matsui's face that had been tense for a day finally relaxed an hour ago.
After staring at the map over and over again, he ordered: "Order the third brigade to stay still tonight." Since the Eighth Route Army, which is active in Tianxin Town, has stopped attacking, there is no need for us to be too anxious. Tomorrow at dawn, under the cover of aviation, directly kill them at the assembly place and kill them! ”
"In a moment, I will personally send a telegram to His Excellency the Commander, and tomorrow three bombers must be dispatched to support us!"
The chief of staff hesitated for a moment and asked, "What about the fourth brigade?" ”
"I just sent a telegram saying that the battle to encircle and annihilate the Eighth Route Army has ended, more than 100 Eighth Route Army have been eliminated, and a large amount of equipment has been captured, but some people still ran away!"
Matsui replied confidently, "Don't worry over there!" ”
"I'm sure now that the Eighth Route Army that went to Linfenbei is not their main force, just a small force that disperses our forces, and those Eighth Route Army troops who fled are very small, so there is nothing to worry about, with the special brigade and the fourth brigade cooperating there, they will definitely be able to kill them!"
Speaking of this, Matsumoto suddenly thought of the Eighth Route Army active in Fengyun Town.
Compared with the rest of the Eighth Route Army, Major General Matsumoto was obviously more annoyed by this force.
Disguised as a maintenance guard under his nose, using the weapons given to them by the Imperial Army to develop troops, and then turning around to fight the Imperial Army, it is simply playing the Imperial Army like a monkey.
If this matter is publicized, even if the superiors don't say anything about themselves, their colleagues will see them as a laughing stock to see the joke.
With a frown, he asked, "What about those eight roads in Fengyun Town?" For them, I will destroy them all, and not one of them will be left alive! ”
The chief of staff actually showed a smile on his face: "The remaining troops of the Fengyun Town garrison fought very bravely, successfully repelled the attack of the Eighth Route Army, and held the stronghold!" ”
"The method adopted by the Eighth Route Army now is to besiege but not attack, and it has also divided its troops!"
"In addition to the troops surrounding the stronghold, two separate forces were sent to attack the artillery towers and small strongholds along our road. In order to reduce the losses, I have ordered the garrisons in these places to retreat along all fronts, relying on the strongholds to hold on.
"Yo Xi, as long as you don't leave!" Matsumoto was very pleased with this result.
With confidence on his face, he continued: "They certainly didn't expect that I would send troops from behind them to encircle them. ”
"By the time they reacted, our first brigade was already behind them. When the time comes, they won't be able to run if they want to! ”
In Matsui's view, the tide of battle is gradually moving in his favor.
Little by little, the passivity of the day is turning into initiative, and then the initiative on the battlefield is thoroughly grasped.
And his old opponent Wang Ping wants to prevent this change through a big decisive battle and let the initiative return to his hands.
Nearly fifteen kilometers away, Xiong Changhe, who was anxious to train his troops with devils, completed it in less than four hours.
As soon as he could see the Japanese puppet army garrison outside the town, Li Wen, who was one step ahead, had already finished scouting the enemy situation and was waiting for him in front.
Although Li Wen had less than ten people under his command, he did not even have a squad of ordinary troops. However, Li Wen's rank in the new regiment was a company level.
Not surprisingly, as long as the troops gain a firm foothold outside the mountain, the direct subordinate team will be expanded, and Li Wen's rank will definitely rise, at least at the deputy battalion level.
What is even more admirable is that Li Wen is very talented, especially in the field of special operations and guerrilla warfare.
Therefore, in the face of Li Wen, Xiong Changhe did not have any thoughts of contempt.
Although the level is lower than himself, Xiong Changhe still regards him as a level.
