Outside Yangcheng County in the Jincheng region, He Jiaming has already understood the military deployment inside, and he is still the strength of a large brigade of devils.

Then he began to scout the surrounding terrain and wait for the arrival of a new main force, this time not by a sneak attack or anything like that, but by opening up a position and attacking the place directly.

In addition, the momentum will be very huge, and even the three regiments from the Lucheng area will have to join in.

In order to let the Japanese army know that there is the main force of the Eighth Route Army here, it is to take down here, so the momentum must be very huge, all infantry artillery must be used, and mortars are used in large quantities.

It's just that it is necessary to guard against Qinshui County in the north, Gaoping County in the northeast, Zezhou County in the east, and reinforcements from the front-line positions in the south.

This requires preparation, whether it is a blockade or an ambush, which needs to be reconnoitred.

This battle required full preparations, so after the reconnaissance battalion joined the main force of the new regiment, it separated again and came to the outskirts of Yangcheng County alone to conduct reconnaissance in advance.

The terrain around Yangcheng County was taken care of by Liao Gensheng and the reconnaissance battalion, while He Jiaming went directly to Qinshui County alone, and then made a detour to Gaoping County there, and then went south from Gaoping to Zezhou County.

In this way, he needed to make a big circle to return to Yangcheng County, which took two days, and by the time he returned, the vanguard of the new regiment had already arrived.

After all, there were too many supplies to be escorted, but because of the lack of troops, they could not be transported separately, so they could only be brought here slowly.

A large amount of ammunition will be consumed here, and a posture of being a soldier with sufficient food will be used to knock Yangcheng County down with powerful firepower, and then disappear from the sight of the Japanese army again.

Forcing the Japanese army to be fully prepared, a large number of troops were transferred to the south, while the Eighth Route Army returned to the Lucheng and Jinzhong areas, and launched a large-scale attack by the local Japanese army.

This was the complete battle plan of the Eighth Route Army, because with the new regiment of this sharp sword in hand, it was possible to break the past routine and send a single unit to attack and harass the enemy's key areas and force the enemy to abandon the sweeping plan.

The current situation is that the Eighth Route Army continued its own plan, and delayed the southward movement of the Japanese army, making a false impression of desperate efforts, and constantly sabotaging the railway.

In the case of the loss of the railway, it was difficult to complete the repair in a short time, and because it was a multi-point attack, the Japanese army did not dare to use the train.

In the event of derailment, the troop transport train will suffer heavy losses and will have to abandon rail transport and move by road instead.

In this way, the speed is extremely slow, and its subsequent supply of baggage will become a new target for the Eighth Route Army.

At the same time, behind them, there are many units of the Eighth Route Army to pursue and harass, if some troops are left to block, then it is easy to be eaten by the Eighth Route Army.

At present, the Japanese army cannot make an accurate judgment on the strength of the Eighth Route Army, and the strength of the Eighth Route Army cannot be figured out at all.

This is the biggest problem faced by the Japanese army, they don't know how many people there are in the Eighth Route Army, let alone them, even He Jiaming doesn't know.

Because the munitions depot in Taiyuan was blown up before, the Japanese army had to stop large-scale military operations, giving the Eighth Route Army a long time to develop.

In addition to the construction of base areas, the expansion of its troop strength is naturally the focus, and many regiments have been established, and the Eighth Route Army has sufficient experience in this regard.

At the same time, a large number of outstanding commanders became regiment commanders, and there was no shortage of them, but what was lacking was lower-level commanders such as squad platoons.

This is the backbone of the army, and it needs veterans with combat experience and outstanding ideological awareness.

There are not many such veterans now, and they still need to be trained at the same time, and the speed of training is not fast.

……

By the time He Jiaming returned to the vicinity of Yangcheng County, the vanguard of the new regiment had already arrived, and it was a battalion led by Zhang Dabiao.

"Battalion Commander Zhang, when will they arrive!" He Jiaming asked directly.

"Battalion Commander He, most of them will arrive tomorrow, and the third battalion will be responsible for cleaning up all traces after the break!" Zhang Dabiao said.

"Good!" He Jiaming then took out the map, and then began to explain the situation of his reconnaissance and the deployment of troops in the counties around Yangcheng County.

For example, Qinshui County and Gaoping County only have a small team of devils, but Erzezhou County in the east also has a team.

The most dangerous was the front-line position of the Japanese army in the south, but because of its relative length, it was scattered along the entire defensive line and had the strength of three wings.

But if you want to assemble, this is not easy, once you gather and reinforce Yangcheng County, then the enemy's direction is completely empty.

So, there is not much danger around, but you have to be on guard.

However, the troops do not need too much, and the main force can completely surround Yangcheng County, attack with powerful firepower, and make its own momentum sufficient.

"Great, it's the first time we've fought a tough battle with all our might, and it's very useful for the training of the troops!" Zhang Dabiao was very happy, but He Jiaming didn't see it that way.

The offensive is now too early for the Eighth Route Army, they do not have such conditions now, and there is no need for this.

The situation in which the enemy is strong and we are weak will not change, because we do not have our own heavy industry, and with the ammunition reserves of the Eighth Route Army, we will be exhausted in a big war.

This is the basic situation, and it is a gap that cannot be ignored, so a quick victory in a short period of time is not desirable.

If there are no external conditions to join, we can win, but it is relying on huge manpower to drag the Japanese army down and make it impossible for them to leave on their own, and we have no chance to fight back, because there is no navy.

This era is painful to the marrow, so there is a revival of our later generations and our self-reliance.

And the suffering we experience now and in the future will be a powerful motivation for us.

However, He Jiaming did not speak, because this attack was indispensable, and he also participated in the formulation of the battle plan, which was an indispensable step, otherwise the Japanese army would not rush south.

……

The next day, the main force of the army arrived, and after Li Yunlong understood the situation, he said to the other three regiment commanders: "This time, my new regiment will be the main force to attack the county seat, and the three of you regiments will be concentrated on one side, and I will mobilize twelve Type 92 infantry guns for you!" ”

"I said Lao Li, don't you turn in this Type 92 infantry gun?" Ding Wei set his sights on the artillery at this time.

"Hey...... Lao Ding, understand that people don't say secret words, after this battle, you return to the Lucheng area, our new regiment will definitely go back to Jinzhong, and I don't know how to arrange it after that! Li Yunlong smiled.

"This Type 92 infantry gun is light in weight, the firepower is quite sufficient, there is an artillery battalion there at the brigade headquarters, you can use the brigade headquarters in normal times!"
