Chapter 1016: Borrowing Soldiers (Third Update!) )
"No~ there is still a chance!" Commander Wang replied in surprise.
"We don't need to open a breakthrough in the devil's defense line, we just need to launch a full-scale attack, put the Japanese puppet army in a posture that we want to counterattack, and drag all the 4,000 Japanese puppet troops on the position!"
"What about Liulin County! Without a breakthrough, our troops will not be able to enter the hinterland of devils, and there will be no way to take Liulin County! The chief of staff asked rhetorically, frowning.
"To open the breach, that is to send the main force into the hinterland of the devils. If it is a small elite force, when we launch a full-scale attack, we can easily drill into the hinterland of devils from the pull of the defensive line! Commander Wang analyzed.
The chief of staff continued: "But, commander...... Even if we send a small force into the hinterland of devils, it will be impossible for them to take Liulin County~ You must know that there are more than 500 devils in Liulin County, and there are more than 500 puppet troops, even if we go up to a brigade, it will take a lot of time to take it! ”
"Also, even if they take Liulin County, there is a total of more than one million catties of food and other materials hoarded there, and there are fewer troops, so it is impossible to transport them back to the base area!"
Commander Wang thought about it and replied: "Do you remember Commander Wang and the special forces in his hands?" ”
"Most of the supplies and ammunition he gave us were looted from this stronghold. At the beginning, this stronghold guarded a reinforced squadron of devils, and it only took them an hour to kill them, then take the stronghold, and take all the supplies with them. ”
"If they are allowed to participate in this operation, maybe they will have a way to go deep into the hinterland of the devils alone, take Liulin County, and then send the supplies back to our base area!"
"In this way, you stay at the military region headquarters, and I will go to Yan'an. If you really want to ask Wang Ping to borrow troops, you still need the consent of the commander-in-chief! ”
Wang Ping, who had just finished the special operations course, had just returned home when a staff officer from the headquarters rushed over.
"Commander Wang, the commander-in-chief asks you to rush to the headquarters as soon as possible, there is something important to look for you!"
"I'll go now!" Wang Ping replied immediately.
Following the staff officer all the way to the headquarters, Wang Ping saw Commander Wang guarding the commander-in-chief's office at a glance!
"Hello chief...... Commander Wang, why are you here! ”
"I'm here to find you!" The commander-in-chief replied with a smile on his face. Then he stared at Commander Wang and asked.
"Wang Huzi, as long as Wang Ping thinks that your proposal is feasible, I will agree to your plan and let Wang Ping participate in your plan! Repeat your plan first, and let's discuss the feasibility of the entire battle plan together! ”
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief!" Commander Wang replied immediately, and then compared the map and explained his thoughts on the Suide Military Region Headquarters straight to the point.
After speaking, the commander-in-chief followed up and added: "If more than one million catties of grain can be captured, not only will the problem of food shortage in the Suide Military Region be solved, but also a part of the grain can be allocated to support the remaining troops in Yan'an...... You don't know, the several garrison regiments left behind in Yan'an have almost eaten food, although they don't have many troops, they have to use up tens of thousands of catties of food a month. Yesterday, your Minister Li was still applying to me, do you want to use the emergency food you brought to the emergency! ”
"That grain must not be moved!" Wang Ping blurted out.
"That food can't be used until it's really difficult, and it can't be used yet!"
The commander-in-chief asked: "When it was really difficult...... Wang Ping, you mean to say that now is not the time to be difficult! ”
Before Wang Ping could speak, Commander Wang next to him replied with a solemn face: "Commander-in-chief, it is true that it has not yet reached the most difficult time!" ”
"There is now growing evidence that a massive drought is likely to occur this year...... If the weather continues to be so bad, Captain Wang's original judgment may come true. ”
"Drought means that the land is not harvested, and the land in the border area is already very barren, and if the harvest is not harvested again, the limited output may not even be able to feed the local people, let alone our army!"
"So, it's definitely not the hardest time!"
Wang Ping said: "Commander Wang is right, as long as there is still a chance to get food, the 100,000 catties of emergency food cannot be moved!" ”
The commander-in-chief's brows suddenly wrinkled into a big Sichuan character: "In this case, whether it is for a multi-person unit in the Suide Army Division, or for several guard regiments in Yan'an, we will seize the materials and food in Liulin County." ”
After speaking, the commander-in-chief shifted his gaze to Wang Ping: "Wang Huzi has already informed you of the situation just now, how is it?" Do you think Wang Huzi's plan is feasible, do you have the courage to enter the hinterland of the devils, take Liulin County, and then transport all the captured materials back to the defense area! ”
Wang Ping stared at the map for a full five minutes before replying, "It's worth a try!" However, for the whole operation, it was necessary for the Suide Military Region to transfer the troops of the two brigades to closely cooperate! ”
Seeing Commander Wang's brows, he subconsciously furrowed, and Wang Ping hurriedly explained: "Commander Wang, don't worry, the strength of the two brigades is only cooperating, not fighting devils. Although there will be a lot of battles with devils, they are basically feints and bluffs, although there are strong attacks, but there will definitely not be too many! ”
Commander Wang breathed a sigh of relief, and then replied with an embarrassed face: "Commander Wang, your vision is indeed very vicious, and what you are most worried about is that the casualties of the troops in this operation are too large!" ”
"The 4,000 elites of the Japanese puppet army stationed on the front line are all solid, well-equipped, with sufficient ammunition, and there is also a mixed mountain artillery brigade to provide them with artillery support."
"If the casualties of the troops are too great, and the devils know that we have robbed them of their logistics and retaliate against us, the garrison area will definitely not be able to withstand the desperate attack of the devils, and then the base area will be dangerous, and it will affect Yan'an!"
"Therefore, the casualties of the troops must not be too large, for the sake of these supplies and food, the maximum casualty I can bear is a regiment!"
"Mountain Artillery Mixed Formation Brigade!" Wang Ping immediately became interested.
His combat style has always been to first take out the logistics baggage of the Japanese puppet army, then kill the artillery, and finally deal with the infantry, so as to maximize the benefits of a battle.
If you turn it against the enemy, not only will you pay a greater price, but the devil may also destroy all the remaining baggage and artillery at the last moment.
In this way, after a battle, you will get nothing, and the bamboo basket will be empty.
The commander-in-chief and Commander Wang didn't know that Wang Ping had already set his sights on the Devil's Mountain Field Artillery Brigade that he had never thought of.
Seeing that Wang Ping was interested, he still answered patiently.
"Not bad, a whole brigade of mountain artillery, two mountain artillery squadrons, two field artillery brigades, a total of eight mountain artillery, eight field artillery!"
"In addition, the two devil infantry brigades on the front line are also equipped with two squads of four infantry guns, and two squadrons of eighteen mortars......"
"Infantry artillery and mortars are attached to infantry operations, mountain artillery and field artillery are concentrated in the rear, as the heavy firepower unit of the devil, and go to the battlefield at any time to reinforce the infantry!"
Wang Ping's face became more interested, and he continued to ask: "In other words, these sixteen mountain field cannons and their infantry are not together......"
"I just heard from you, chief, that the total strength of the Japanese puppet army in this area is less than 6,000 people, excluding 4,000 people on the front line and 1,000 people in Liulin County, this mixed artillery brigade has only 1,000 people in the sky, and it also includes five or six hundred artillery men!"
Commander Wang replied with a look of approval: "You have a good analysis!" ”
"Because this mixed brigade is in the rear of the devils, the devils are not worried about their safety, and the entire brigade is stationed in the middle of the county town and the front line, that is, here, four artillery squadrons, more than five hundred artillery, plus an infantry squadron of guard troops, less than two hundred devil infantry!"
