Chapter 90: Encirclement
This group of Eighth Route Army is very strong, especially good at seizing opportunities, but where did their intelligence come from?
I've investigated it many times before, and it's also a strict defense against the puppet army, but it still can't stop the other party's attack, which is really weird.
Now the imperial army can only control the county seat and along the railway, and cannot control the larger area.
At present, the most important thing is the railway, there is now a brigade responsible for patrolling, and there are already ironclad trains arriving, so there is no need to worry about the railway at present.
In addition, the strength of two squads to one squadron in each county, plus the puppet army......
The puppet army is a problem, and distrust is still needed, this ......
Ishii Daisa is also embarrassed, the problem of distrust is very common, but since it has to be used, it has to be guarded, so that it cannot play its due role.
He looked through some previous battle records, among which when Baihe County was breached, a regiment of the Imperial Association Army was blocked in the garrison, and there was not even a single heavy weapon.
Let people threaten with grenadiers and lay down their weapons, but can they be blamed?
If this person is panicking, and the Imperial Association Army comes to confess, then it will be really difficult.
Ishii Daisa is forty-eight years old this year, he has long passed the age of radicalization, and he wants to be a general and become a major general, which is not easy.
The last time I went out by myself, I already suffered a lot of losses, and if the commander hadn't pursued it, then I would have been unlucky.
This time, it's obvious that I've made up for it, so I have to do it well!
Looking up and continuing to look at the map, there are a total of eleven counties, plus Lucheng, and their own troops are now considered to be large.
Moreover, there is no main force of the Eighth Route Army here, only a few newly established regiment-level troops, and the combat area has been west of Lucheng.
Around Wuxiang County, Baihe County, and Qinyuan County, their stations should be in between, and the other party also understands this.
So on the Lucheng side......
He drew a circle on the map, [There should be their troops here, monitoring Lucheng!] 】
I have to say that Ishii is much smarter than Ishida, they are not surnamed Shi, and the two have nothing to do with each other.
Ishii Daisa carefully analyzed the situation, and then made a corresponding plan, he didn't want to just defend, but wanted to attack.
The opponent's garrison does not have enough troops to encircle it for the time being, after all, the east of Lucheng is not so stable, but the strength of the Eighth Route Army east of Lucheng is insufficient.
There is also a distinction between commanders who are high and low.
Then his focus must be different, and he drew the pencil on the map for a while, and then nodded in satisfaction.
Ishii Daisa's plan was not responsible, first of all, to increase the strength of Wuxiang County, Baihe County, and Qinyuan County, and concentrate the strength of two squadrons in each county, counting one brigade on the railway line, as well as the strength of Lucheng.
Then they formed a large encirclement against this Eighth Route Army, and then the puppet army in the three counties all issued heavy weapons and ammunition, and at the same time no longer strictly guarded them.
As for the other counties, all the troops were replenished to the size of one squadron, and they left two brigades in Lucheng to reorganize the strength of one regiment of the Imperial Cooperative Army.
Concentrate all the artillery of the wing, with an infantry brigade, and at the same time a cavalry brigade, as a mobile force.
No matter where the other side moves, they can quickly send reinforcements, and with a cavalry brigade as an escort, then they don't have to worry about the other party's ambush.
Ishii is still very confident in the frontal battle, as long as he bites the other side, he can quickly reinforce in several other directions, and finally close the circle.
Even if the opponent's weapons and equipment should be good now, but in the face of the imperial army, they are still not enough, and the newly formed troops, in a frontal battle, how much combat effectiveness can they have?
Satisfied, Ishii gathered his captains and began to deploy.
The dispatch of troops must not be carried out quietly, and the other side must not be alerted too early, and the deployment of troops must be completed as soon as possible.
After all, the opponent's intelligence seems to be very accurate, once it is discovered, what should be done if it is intercepted halfway?
When the time comes, one squadron after another will be eaten, which is absolutely not allowed, and the Ishii Wing was constantly bleeding before.
The dispersion of troops is not concentrated enough!
……
Li Yunlong returned to the new regiment, He Jiaming reported the situation, Li Yunlong looked at the map, "The strength of these little devils has increased all of a sudden!" ”
"That's almost the strength of two wings, but they lack a lot of heavy weapons!"
He Jiaming nodded and said: "That's true, and this guy Ishii has a good brain, I hit him a few times last time, but he didn't have enough intelligence and made a mistake in judgment, so I knocked out most of the baggage." ”
"Otherwise, the consequences are still difficult to say!"
"This time he has enough troops in his hands, and he must know something about our situation, after all, the area where we are active is already obvious!"
Li Yunlong touched his chin, "Hehe, this guy is going to suffer!" ”
"Huh?" He Jiaming was stunned, "What do you say?" ”
"Haha...... This time I went to the division headquarters, and several other regiment commanders also went, and guess why? Li Yunlong asked with a smile.
He Jiaming was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and asked, "You want equipment!" ”
"That's right!" Li Yunlong slapped his thigh, "Haha...... Kong Jie, this kid is acting with us, he must have guessed that we were going to fight Lucheng, and Li Wenying also knew that we couldn't digest so much equipment. ”
"Last time you proposed to turn it in, this time you will definitely turn it in too!"
"So after Kong Jie finished the ambush, he went directly to the division headquarters and waited for me there, and the other regiment commanders didn't know how to know the situation, they all arrived."
He Jiaming smiled, "In this way, the division commander will issue the equipment at the same time and arm several regiments!" ”
"That's right, the division headquarters thinks that although our new regiment is fighting well, the base area has now become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of the little devils, and the Taiyue area must strengthen its armed forces."
"And with so much equipment, it is impossible to send it to the Pinghan line, so it will be sent underground, and the division headquarters will be responsible for distributing it!"
"In addition, the ten Type 92 infantry guns I sent directly set up an artillery company, which is directly commanded by the division headquarters!"
"The guard battalion at the division headquarters has been expanded into a guard regiment, but the weapons are all old weapons, and the Type 38 rifles are all issued to several other regiments!"
"Let them form a battalion of Japanese weapons separately!"
He Jiaming listened carefully, the idea of the division headquarters is indeed good, each regiment has a Japanese weapons battalion, and it will be much more comfortable in terms of supplies in the future.
