Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 358

After a pause, the chief continued: "However, this meeting is not to celebrate the comrades. Although our army blew up the devil's airport and won a big victory, according to our army's intelligence, the devil is in full swing. Attack Zhongtiao Mountain, and the tenacious army stationed in Zhongtiao Mountain has collapsed, this time... I am afraid that Zhongtiao Mountain will not be able to hold it!"

These words immediately brought the warm atmosphere in the conference room to freezing point.

Although everyone had thought about this possibility before and even made preparations for it, no one thought that Zhongtiao Mountain would really fall and would fall so quickly.

That is a line of defense called by the stubborn army as "solid in gold, without fear", especially since the stubborn army has been operating for several years, it is hard to imagine that this situation will happen today!
No wonder the Eighth Route Army cadres couldn't figure it out.

With the conditions of the Eighth Route Army, an average of only ten bullets per person can defend Luliang Mountain on the reverse slope to block the devil's attack.

Although the equipment and logistics of the stubborn army cannot be compared with the devils, they are undoubtedly much better than the Eighth Route Army.

In addition, Zhongtiao Mountain is a strategic location for the stubborn army. If we lose it, we will lose a northern barrier to defend Chongqing. This is a matter of life and death for the stubborn army.

However, the unimaginable happened right before our eyes.

Wang Xuexin knew why.

In addition to the unpopularity of the recalcitrant army and the lack of support from the people and the impact of the "understanding" on the morale of the troops, there is another point that the internal forces of the recalcitrant army are so entangled and corrupt that a large amount of funds that should have been used on the battlefield are all It flows into the hands of officials and gentry, and only a very small part is used on the front line.

Therefore, although Zhongtiaoshan has been in operation for several years, it is not much different from a few years ago.

After a long silence, Li Changfu, the head of the Hundred Battles, scolded: "These prodigal sons, our ancestors' land will be ruined by them!"

Kong Jie scolded: "What can we do? The enemy is currently not strengthening the defense of Zhongtiao Mountain, but they have built bunkers and artillery towers in our direction... It's good now, it's not good to shoot yourself in the foot with a stone They asked for it!"

"It's useless to talk about it!" Ding Wei got up and said, "Now the problem is here. Once Zhongtiao Mountain falls, our army's flanks will be exposed to the devils for a long time. At that time, maybe one or two elastic defenses can't stop it." live?"

Speaking of which, Ding Wei turned his attention to Wang Xuexin.

He believes that "elastic defense" was proposed by Wang Xuexin, and Wang Xuexin may have some ideas.

The chief nodded and said: "There may be difficulties. If Zhongtiao Mountain is still in the hands of the stubborn army, our army's defense line and the stubborn army's defense line will sandwich the devils in the middle for a long time so that they will be attacked on both sides. At the same time, the stubborn army's garrison on Zhongtiao Mountain will still It will contain a large number of devils... At least three divisions of devils will be deployed near Zhongtiao Mountain to prevent the recalcitrant army from attacking. But now..."

As he said that, the chief frowned: "Once Zhongtiao Mountain is lost, the devils can use a small amount of troops or even puppet troops to defend Zhongtiao Mountain, and then concentrate their forces to attack our army from the front and flanks at the same time. The pressure is on!"

Wang Xuexin couldn't help frowning, which he didn't expect.

This problem did not exist historically.

The reason is that the Eighth Route Army in history failed to form a line of defense that could stop the devils from attacking during this period.

Since there is no line of defense and they have been fighting guerrillas in the mountains, it doesn't matter whether they are in the front or the flanks... The devils can penetrate into the hinterland of Luliang Mountain no matter which direction they go, and there is no difference between the front and the flanks.

The situation is very different now.

At this time, the Eighth Route Army had already formed a line of defense on the front, and with the line of defense, there would naturally be flanks, so the impact of the fall of Zhongtiao Mountain on the Eighth Route Army was magnified.

But what can Wang Xuexin do?

Continue to fight devils with "elastic defense" like before?

In this regard, Ding Wei and the chief's judgment were correct. The Eighth Route Army's "elastic defense" tactics to fight against the devils may only be able to defend against the devils for a while, but not for a lifetime.

The reason is that the Eighth Route Army lacks resources and cannot guarantee logistics, while "elastic defense" requires a certain ammunition foundation... The frontal defense line is more than 300 kilometers, and the flank defense line is more than 200 kilometers. The ammunition of the Eighth Route Army can be consumed in ten and a half months.

Retreating into the mountains to fight guerrillas is definitely not an option, because this means that the Eighth Route Army will lose [-] troops a year.

Although the cadres didn't know that "one hundred thousand employees will be reduced in one year", they know that they are likely to be blocked by the devils in the mountains and divided into small areas that cannot be contacted.

After thinking for a while, Wang Xuexin got up and said, "Chief, I think we can start from two aspects. On the one hand, I think we should work hard to open up the battlefield behind the enemy lines. Needless to say, it can consume devil resources to attack devils Logistical supplies can also disperse the forces of the devils. In short, they are trying to slow down!"

"It's something we thought of together!" The chief nodded again and again: "During this time, the chief of staff and I have been thinking about establishing an armed task force behind enemy lines similar to a reconnaissance company, that is, to organize and arm guerrillas in enemy-occupied areas. , Gather the elite soldiers from several villages together to form a team that can fight and hide, and attack the enemy's logistics supplies at the right time!"

This is actually what Wang Xuexin wanted to say.

The term "armed workers in the enemy's rear" is probably familiar to all Chinese people.

However, they don't know much about what kind of team the "armed workers' team behind the enemy's rear" is.

Many people's understanding of it is limited to film and television works, thinking that the "martial arts teams in the enemy's rear" all have unique skills and so on.

In fact, the "armed labor team behind the enemy" is just like the chief said, organizing the guerrillas in the enemy-occupied areas.

Being organized and being unorganized doesn't sound like much of a difference, but there is a world of difference.

No organization means that all the guerrillas in the enemy-occupied areas are scattered.

As a result, guerrillas are mostly limited to passive defense. They cannot get more information and seize opportunities. For example, devils have ammunition depots and granaries in a certain place. Sneak attacks often end in failure because of organizational skills and the quality of soldiers.

During this period, the results obtained by the guerrillas were very accidental, and the casualties they paid were relatively large.

But if they are organized... that is, the regular army of the Eighth Route Army will send a few fighters with combat experience to lead them, gather scattered guerrilla members from several villages together to form a team for training, and provide them with the necessary weapons and ammunition, and then provide information to coordinate with other armed forces and so on.

In this way, the results that can be obtained will be much greater than before.

Wang Xuexin added: "Chief, I'm thinking about it, we must pay special attention to the organization of the Zhongtiaoshan martial arts team. Wherever the enemy hits, we will organize the martial arts team there!"
