Chapter Seventy-Five: Wang Ergou's "Whimsy"
Anyway, Yang Qing still couldn't think of any way to eat this Japanese puppet army. After all, the combat power and firepower are there, and even if some advantages are canceled, it is still impossible to eat them all.
Just as everyone was still discussing and Yang Qing was thinking deeply, Wang Ergou, who had been silent just now, suddenly stood up and said to Li Qinghe: "Captain, I have an idea, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." ”
"Say," Li Qinghe said with interest, "This is still the discussion session for everyone, and they can speak freely." If you have any ideas, just say it. ”
Hearing Wang Ergou's words, everyone fell silent and waited for him to speak.
Seeing that everyone was quiet, Wang Ergou cleared his throat and said, "After listening to everyone's speeches just now, I think everyone said very well. ”
"We must face up to the fact that at this stage, our army still does not have the ability to fight a field war with the Japanese army. Whether it is in terms of the quality of the soldiers or in terms of logistical supply, it is meaningless for us to fight a frontal large corps with the Japanese puppet army. Lacking excellent soldiers and sufficient industrial resources, we can only fight a big battle with the Japanese puppet army in vain. ”
"Therefore, you can still propose that we engage the Japanese in the green gauze tent and in the mountains, so as to reduce the intensity of the Japanese firepower. This is a very correct and wise idea. ”
"But I've been thinking just now, how should our army fight now? Or rather, what exactly is our army going to get in this battle? To tell the truth, judging by the previous battles and the capture of our troops in the county town of Funing. Our troops are not at all weaker than the Japanese army in terms of heavy firepower, and even to a certain extent, they are stronger than the firepower of a large group of the Japanese army. Moreover, our army, which has been fired with live ammunition, has achieved a great improvement in the accuracy of shooting. ”
"Coupled with the fact that our army has always adhered to continuous cultural training and tactical training, from a comprehensive point of view, our army is no longer weaker than the Japanese garrison. Even if the firepower of small arms is slightly weaker, it can be used as a whole to smooth out the shortcomings. That is to say, at this stage, our army can basically be equivalent to the combat effectiveness of a garrison brigade of the Japanese army. ”
"So, I think we could have thought a little bit bolder. Why do we just want to eat one squadron of the Japanese army? Why don't we consider eating 2 squadrons of the Japanese army plus all the puppet army? Even if we are a little bolder, it seems that it is not impossible for us to defeat or even completely annihilate the main force of the Japanese puppet army? ”
One stone stirs up a thousand waves. Wang Ergou's words shocked all the commanders and fighters present, they didn't expect that Wang Ergou, who was more conservative in Pingsuli, would actually say such "bold" words. For a while, several squadron leaders raised doubts, and everyone couldn't understand why Wang Ergou had such self-confidence.
But Li Qinghe continued to look at Wang Ergou with interest, and didn't say anything, just looked very playful. However, seeing that the scene was getting more and more noisy, he pressed the scene with his hand, "Quiet, wait for people to finish speaking." ”
Then, he set his eyes on Wang Ergou, "Wang Ergou, since your kid has said so, then I believe that your kid must have a draft." I'll leave it to you next, I want to see what your kid's draft is, and where did you get the determination to make you dare to make such a big decision. ”
Feeling the questioning and disbelieving eyes of the people around him, Wang Ergou gritted his teeth and walked up to the stage, "Okay, since the captain has asked me to say it, then I'll talk about a preliminary plan I just thought of." If there is anything wrong, please correct it. ”
Pulling out the map, Wang Ergou said in a deep voice to the commanders and fighters in the audience: "First of all, let's make a simple comparison between our army and the Japanese army, so as to facilitate our army's next analysis." ”
"After the recovery war in Funing County, our army entered a large-scale expansion, and the approximate strength of our army is as follows: 1 Brigade with a total of 442 people, 2 Brigade with a total of 418 people, 3 Brigade with a total of 336 people, 207 people from the fire squadron, 128 people from the logistics squadron, and 302 people from the recruit battalion, a total of 1,833 people."
"This time, the Qinhuangdao Japanese puppet army participated in the campaign to exterminate our army in the Lulong area, and it was a puppet army of one brigade after another. According to intelligence, the Japanese Takasaki Brigade was not the main field force of the Japanese army, but a local garrison. Therefore, such units are not organized according to the normal full strength. ”
"There are 3 infantry squadrons under the Takasaki Brigade, 1 is full and 2 are missing. The subordinate firepower squadrons are also in a state of shortage, and the logistics squadrons are even more seriously lacking, and their personnel are equivalent to the number of a small team. Therefore, this brigade did not reach the establishment of a complete brigade of about 1,100 people in the Japanese army, and the total number was about 800-900 people. ”
"The attached puppet army is the Sun Youcheng Department of the Qinhuangdao Garrison Regiment, which is seriously lacking. The original plan was that the full strength should be about 1200-1400 people, but in fact there were only 966 people, and the firepower was weaker than that of our army, and the morale was poor. ”
"To sum up, the total number of Japanese puppet troops should be around 1,800 people, or maybe even less. In terms of numbers, our army is about the same as the Japanese puppet army. ”
At this time, Han Xing stood up and questioned: "So what, even if our army can match a Japanese garrison brigade now, it is still difficult to completely annihilate the enemy of a Japanese brigade. ”
"No, if it were under such conditions, I don't think it would be that difficult." Wang Ergou suddenly said in a deep voice. "For example, if a complete squadron and transport squadron of the Japanese army are completely annihilated by our army, is it still so difficult?"
"Impossible," Han Xing immediately said, "The two squadrons of the Japanese army were completely annihilated, and the Japanese brigade headquarters did not get any news, this is simply a fantasy." ”
"Nothing is impossible. Han Xing, you didn't look closely at the information just now. According to the information, the Kawamura Infantry Squadron under the Takasaki Brigade of the Japanese Army will set off first with the Japanese transport squadron and go to Funing County by car to transport war supplies. Then, the remaining two infantry squadrons, heavy firepower squadrons and brigade headquarters of the Japanese army set off for Funing County. ”
"This arrangement is the result of the Japanese army's very relaxation, and we can use the Japanese puppet army's deployment to lay a huge trap very easily. First of all, 1 squadron and logistics squadron rushed to Funing by car, according to the normal time estimate. Their arrival in Funing County should have been around 11 noon. ”
At this time, the main force of the Japanese brigade and the puppet army should be on the road behind, and they will arrive in Funing County at about 3 o'clock in the afternoon. From 11 o'clock to 3 o'clock, a full 4 hours, we should make full use of this time difference to catch the Japanese army off guard. ”
"And until now, the Japanese army still has not found that Funing County has fallen into the hands of our army. In this way, our army can still make an information gap and carry out deceptive tactics against the Japanese army through the Xiaohongzhuang stronghold and Funing County. The Japanese army still thought that there were no anti-union troops active near Funing County, and easily entered the city. ”
"After entering Funing County, it will no longer be a problem whether our army gathers and kills them or destroys the Japanese army through other strategies. In this way, the strength of the 2 squadrons of the Japanese army will be completely annihilated by our army. The rest is to look outside the city. ”
