Chapter 125: Battle I
With a comprehensive plan in mind, Yoshio Shinozuka began to meet with his subordinates constantly, division commanders, brigade commanders, and even wing commanders.
In addition, I listened to their thoughts about fighting in Jin Province, but most of them wanted to fight on the front line.
Yoshio Shinozuka also knows in his heart that only the first line has combat exploits!
If you want to be promoted, you need enough combat merits, what can you do in the rear?
Most of the commanders did not pay attention to the Eighth Route Army, after all, except for the Lucheng area, the Eighth Route Army is mainly to sabotage the railway.
However, since Yoshio Shinozuka knew, everyone's thoughts were naturally tried his best to appease them, telling them that the elimination of the Eighth Route Army naturally had military merits, and it was the same as the front line.
He must bear this matter and bargain with the base camp, otherwise the people will not be aligned, and the team will not be easy to lead!
Especially the problem of the garrison, this matter is not only the size of the organization, but also the power is also small, and the rationing is even more reduced.
It's all a problem!
Yoshio Shinozuka was mentally prepared when he came, otherwise he, the commander, would not have stayed for long, could it be the same as Kazuki Kiyoji, and finally be transferred back to China by the base camp?
It is not so simple for a new official to take office, he must do things well, otherwise he will not be able to move in his current position!
It's okay for Kazuki Kiyoji to go back now, at most, he's just retired at home, what about him?
At that time, there may not be any situation, and now the battle of Wuhan will be more difficult, and it is completely different from the momentum of the past, and the Pinghan Line is no longer within the management of the First Army.
Otherwise, it's even more troublesome!
Yoshio Shinozuka is a very thoughtful person, and he naturally thinks about a lot of things, so the time slowly came to the beginning of September, and the battle plan of the Eighth Route Army had been decided.
First of all, the main force of the 386th Brigade will complete the battle by the troops in the current base area without returning.
There are several reasons for this, on the one hand, the battle of Wuhan has not yet ended, and the battle to break the Pinghan Railway cannot be stopped, otherwise this aspect cannot be explained.
Because of the outstanding results of the new regiment, the strength of the newly formed regiments in the base areas is still good, and the units directly under the division headquarters and the headquarters have more than 10,000 combatants.
In addition, the excavation of the tunnel greatly reduced the burden on the Eighth Route Army, the safety of the villagers was greatly guaranteed, and the hoarding of building materials also saved valuable time for reconstruction.
In this way, although the number is small, but the equipment is good, it can fight flexibly, as long as the guerrillas are attacked, then the Eighth Route Army is not afraid of little devils.
Secondly, in the area east of Lucheng, several other regiments were responsible for attacking and harassing all the county towns in the east, and then the reconnaissance company of the new regiment was in charge of Baihe County.
The key this time is here, if you take Baihe County, and snatch the radio station and codebook is the key, of course, there is also a spare party.
That is a direct assault.
In the end, the new regiment was in charge of the reinforcements of the Ishii Wing in Lucheng, and this time it was a real ambush battle, and the ambush position was impossible to approach.
Of course, the ambush location of the new regiment was chosen Sheepshead Ridge.
This is He Jiaming's idea!
The previous two ambushes were in the woods on the west side of Sheep's Head Ridge, but this time they were directly ambushed in Sheep's Head Ridge, and it was difficult for the enemy to judge.
And their cavalry brigade was also unable to search Sheepshead Ridge, after all, the cavalry could not go up the mountain, and the focus of their search must be in the woods.
This is psychological warfare with the enemy!
The new regiment was to fight completely in ambush with reinforcements in a short time, and then go to the county town of Baihe, which was under the responsibility of the reconnaissance company and the first battalion of the new regiment.
……
"Hurry up......" Zhang Dabiao was already about to get sick, and the first battalion was responsible for monitoring the direction of Lucheng, so naturally there was no combat mission.
And the little devil just doesn't come out, and he doesn't have the slightest way, at most he is to develop a base in the direction of Lucheng, but the location is not big, that is, a few villages.
In addition, it is to deal with a traitor and a bully, and finally add a bandit.
Depressed, he could only bury his head in digging tunnels, after all, they were the closest to Lucheng, and it was not easy to transfer the people, so the tunnels must be dug well, and then each village trained a squad of militia.
This time he can finally fight, he is naturally howling, leading the soldiers to yearn for Baihe County, and launch a sheep attack at six o'clock tomorrow morning.
And what about He Jiaming?
He had already taken the reconnaissance company to the outside of the county seat of Baihe, lurking in the woods to the east, preparing to enter the county seat at night.
Tomorrow, after the 1st battalion launched a sheep attack, the reconnaissance company entered the tunnels, then infiltrated the county town, and then attacked the enemy's garrison first, snatching the radio and code books, and then attacking the enemy from behind.
This time it was a real battle, but he Jiangnan wanted to take advantage of the complex terrain in the city to engage in street battles with the enemy and give full play to the melee advantage of his pistol.
And, of course, to deal with enemy mortars and grenadiers.
"Company commander, this time we have a battle in addition to Baihe County?" Su Zheng ran to He Jiaming's side and asked.
"Of course there is, like Wuxiang County and Qinyuan County, there are a total of four devil squadrons and two pseudo-legions!" He Jiaming said: "At the same time, there are two brigades of the enemy on the railway, but it is unknown whether they will come. ”
"Of course, it is unknown whether the enemy in the direction of Taiyuan and Yuncheng will be dispatched!"
"It's not clear how long the battle will last, so you guys have to be prepared for continuous battles, and now go and sleep for me!"
"Yes!" Su Zheng smiled, hurriedly turned around and returned to his second platoon, arranging for the soldiers to rest.
In the afternoon, Sun Xi came to He Jiaming's side, "Company commander, the people who are staring at the north façade are back, and the first battalion has arrived at the position, and now it is hidden." ”
"Okay, I'll go for a trip, you pay attention to concealment!" He Jiaming got up directly and rushed to the north.
After getting closer, He Jiaming learned the bird song and called out the dark whistle, "Company Commander He!" ”
"Take me to your battalion commander!"
"Yes!" The sentry took He Jiaming to Zhang Dabiao.
"Company Commander He!"
"Battalion Commander Zhang, I'll confirm the time with you and repeat the plan!"
"Good!" Zhang Dabiao nodded.
"Attack on time at six o'clock tomorrow morning, you are a sheep attack, don't fight the main attack, the enemy's mortars are not vegetarian, we must pay attention to shifting positions, attract the enemy to the north gate, and give our reconnaissance company enough time!"
"Don't worry, this time it's a big deal, I, Zhang Dabiao, will definitely not be bad!"
"Okay, then ...... the table"
The two of them checked the time for a while, and then He Jiaming returned to the position of the reconnaissance company!
