Chapter 170: Weaken the enemy

Two brigades!

The regiment headquarters is quiet, so that everyone is not afraid, after all, there is a psychological preparation, the enemy's sweep will inevitably be more ferocious, if you are frightened by the two brigades, then what is the war of resistance?

Everyone is just thinking, thinking about the question of how to fight!

The number of enemy brigades varies, and the enemy has recently readjusted their formation, and although it has not yet been completed, the rudiments can already be seen.

The enemy will deploy four reorganized divisions and two brigades, with a total strength of about 120,000 troops.

He Jiaming knew that this was not his original time and space, and because of his arrival, it had brought some changes.

Like Yoshio Shinozuka, in his own time and space, he should have been the division commander of the 10th Division at this time, but as a result, he crossed this step and directly became the commander of the First Army.

This change is not surprising, because the greatest desire of the Japanese invaders now is to stabilize their rear, on the one hand, to provide sufficient relief to the front line, and on the other hand, to plunder the resources of the occupied areas.

However, this wish has not been realized, and all kinds of resistance teams have emerged one after another, large or small, especially the Red elements such as the Eighth Route Army, which are the largest, and have caused heavy casualties to them.

In the long run, they will be held back in their aggression and will not be able to accomplish their set strategic goals.

What was originally arrogant in tongues, which could destroy the country in three months, has now become a joke.

It's been more than a year since a full-scale invasion was launched, and the result?

Now, every step forward will have to pay huge casualties, and the domestic reserve resources are constantly decreasing, and the plundered resources are also insufficient.

In particular, strategic materials such as rubber and oil are particularly scarce, on the one hand, they want to plunder wealth, and on the other hand, they have to give away this wealth to others.

They are like a middleman, and only by quickly occupying and ending the war will they have time to adjust.

……

The strength of both brigades exceeded 7,000 people, and it was impossible to eat them in one bite, and with the strength of the new regiment, it was impossible to directly form an encirclement.

Once the method of encirclement is adopted, then the forces in all directions are insufficient, and the enemy can easily break through and take a counterattack.

Although the enemy advanced along the railway, he did not take the train, after all, a train cannot carry the entire strength of a brigade, weapons and equipment, and logistical supplies.

At the same time, they are also vulnerable to targeted attacks, so they can only walk along the railway.

This also gave the new regiment time to prepare, He Jiaming looked at the map and thought for a while, "We can call the 31st Brigade from Yuncheng first!" ”

Li Yunlong asked, "Why?" ”

"They don't know much about us, and the 25th Brigade from Taiyuan, the former Shijing Wing, belongs to the 25th Brigade, they will not be strangers to us!" He Jiaming explained, "It is most beneficial for us to fight the 31st Brigade first!" ”

"We can take the method of raiding and harassing, looking for favorable terrain, focusing on killing and injuring its living forces, and leaving with one shot, scattering the troops and blocking them layer by layer!"

"Finally, choose the favorable terrain and gather it to annihilate!"

He Jiaming actually wanted to eliminate a brigade, "This method may not be feasible, right?" Zhou Weiguo said on the side.

He Jiaming said: "Annihilating them is only our ultimate goal, and our strategic goal is to let the enemy start sweeping in advance!" ”

"Consume them first, and then surround them, this is the best result, if the enemy retreats halfway, this is also a good thing for us, as soon as they retreat, then the other brigade will not dare to go deep alone!"

"The Tongpu railway can't be repaired, can it?"

Li Yunlong nodded and said approvingly: "Yes, our goal is to disrupt the enemy's deployment, hold the enemy's nose and hand, a brigade is too strong, then we will continue to weaken him, shoot and leave, and never entangle with the enemy!" ”

"And their task is to advance along the railway, as long as they can't catch us, then they must keep going!"

"The whereabouts of the enemy are clear, we don't have to worry about problems, and we can even shell them at night!"

"I mean, the first attack was a brutal one!" Li Yunlong slammed into the map in a circle.

……

The new regiment began to operate, this time it did not carry the Type 92 infantry guns, only carried the whole regiment 18 82mm mortars, and Wang Chengzhu, the commander of the artillery company directly under the regiment, lurked with the artillery company and the heavy machine gun company.

Take care of the loot this time!

The new regiment rushed directly to the Linfen area, passed through Huo County and arrived in Hongdong County, with He Jiaming's reconnaissance company as the vanguard, advancing along the railway, looking for suitable terrain for an ambush.

A new clump of this fist is punched out, withdrawn, and punched out again!

Such repeated and active sorties were used to disrupt the enemy's deployment and force the enemy to launch a sweep in advance.

Gain the initiative for the main force of the Eighth Route Army, jump out of the encirclement in advance, and strike at the rear supply lines swept by the enemy.

He Jiaming was in front, the reconnaissance company was galloping all the way, and He Jiaming was constantly looking for a suitable location on the map, he was walking on the railway line, with the railway as the center, looking for a suitable ambush point within a radius of two kilometers.

After all, if the radius is too far, then it is impossible to attack the enemy, and it cannot be just a simple artillery bombardment, which is really not enough.

The whole regiment is nearly 2,000 people, and if one person shoots one shot, not counting light and heavy machine guns, at least hundreds of enemies can be placed!

This is a matter of probability!

The distance is better to be closer, the terrain is better, this requirement is not low.

The 31st Brigade is a fat man, and our body is still very weak, if we want to defeat this fat man, we must keep slimming him down, so that he is weaker than us.

He Jiaming suddenly changed direction and ran towards a mountainous area on the left, and the reconnaissance company followed in turn, and soon they came to the mountain.

This is not far from the railway, condescending, it is a suitable battlefield, "Sun Xi, you take someone to inform the main force of the regiment, we have found a position!" ”

"Yes!"

"Take a break and go again, it's completely in time!"

"Understood, company commander!"

He Jiaming picked up the binoculars and looked in the direction of the railway, "The three of you will check the terrain on the mountain with me, and the others will rest in place!" ”

"Yes!"

He Jiaming took three platoon leaders and began to check along the foothills, at this time the vegetation on the mountain had begun to wither and yellow, and the fallen leaves were piled up on the ground, waiting to give back to the earth after decay.

The terrain is good, but I don't know if the enemy will reconnoitre, but the reason why He Jiaming chose the 31st Brigade is because the other party does not know about the new regiment.
