Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2716 Take the initiative!

Duanwu thought for a moment and said, "We are now facing a situation where we are surrounded on all sides. Our intelligence is limited, but judging from the scattered intelligence we have obtained so far.

Our main enemy is the main force of the Japanese in Songyuan City, about 10,000 people.

On our north side, the Japanese have been exposed. According to One-Eyed Dragon's reconnaissance, the number of people should be at least a mixed brigade.

But we have already wiped out one of their infantry battalions last night, and their total number should not exceed 5,000 at most.

On our south side, the exact number of the devils is unknown, but they have cavalry. And the Wugan tribe has held some of them back for us, so it shouldn't be a problem for us to deal with them.

Behind us is the grassland of Inner Mongolia, and the cavalry should not easily enter the mountainous area.

But Kujo Miyakita is a madman, and it is possible that he ordered the cavalry to fight deep into the mountains.

So if we want to keep our base, it will be difficult.”

Ma Pingan thought for a moment and said, “So based on our past combat experience, we should all evacuate the civilians now.

I will now briefly introduce the following experiences and suggestions from the base areas in the past against the Japanese raids.

First of all, we should immediately organize a capable team to guide the people to evacuate to the designated safe area.

This team needs to be familiar with the terrain and have strong combat capabilities. It should be able to respond quickly when encountering small groups of enemies and protect the people from safely passing through dangerous areas, such as places where Japanese and puppet troops may appear, or the front line.

At the same time, we must take advantage of the existing terrain and set up a series of ambush points and blocking lines.

Taking our current situation as an example, on the north side, although we have weakened one of the enemy's infantry battalions, the Japanese army still has the strength of a mixed brigade.

We can rely on the terrain to set traps and sniper points to harass and consume enemies that try to approach, slowing down their advance.

As for the south side, although the Wugan tribe can share some of the pressure for us, we cannot rely entirely on them.

We should strengthen our contacts with them to ensure intelligence sharing, and at the same time, when necessary, our troops should be prepared to go south to provide support, just in case.

As for the grasslands in the rear, although it is not easy for cavalry to enter the mountainous areas, we cannot take it lightly. We should send scouts deep into the grasslands to closely monitor the movements of the Japanese cavalry. Once they are found to be taking any action, they should be reported immediately so that we can make corresponding adjustments.

Finally, I would like to emphasize that while we are moving, we must leave behind a sufficiently strong force as a mobile force, ready to respond to emergencies in all directions at any time. This force must be flexible and mobile, able to face the enemy head-on and quickly provide support in other directions.

I have finished what I want to say, what do you think, Captain? "

Duanwu shook his head and said, "This is just a passive defensive tactic, and our strategic depth is insufficient, so there is little room for maneuver. So if the people of Fenghuang City and Kaoshantun want to move, there is only one place to go, and that is Laoyeling.

So from this point of view, the previous experience in fighting against mopping-up operations can be used as a reference, but it does not fit our current situation. We need to change our thinking, that is, to fight, and fight hard! "

At this point, Duanwu directly expressed his thoughts:

"At this moment, although we are surrounded by enemies on all sides, it is not a hopeless situation. The people of Fenghuang City and Kaoshantun are our roots. Laoyeling is our retreat, but it is also the starting point of our counterattack.

First, we must take advantage of the complex terrain in the Phoenix Mountain area to turn the passive situation into the active one. In the direction of Laoyeling, we must first cripple the mixed brigade of the Japanese and open up our retreat route to the Laoyeling direction.

Once the battle falls into a very unfavorable situation, we will immediately evacuate the masses. Therefore, attacking the Japanese and puppet troops on the northern line will be our next focus.

At the same time, we need to form an elite guerrilla force, led by people who are familiar with the terrain of the Songyuan area, to go deep behind enemy lines to carry out harassment and sabotage.

Their mission is not only to attack the enemy's supply lines, but also to create chaos so that the enemy cannot figure out our true intentions and movements.

On the south side, we must strengthen cooperation with the Wugan tribe to ensure the accuracy and timeliness of intelligence.

If there is any change in the enemy forces on the south side, we will immediately return and join forces with the Wugan tribe to form a pincer attack on the enemy, making it impossible for the enemy to take care of both ends.

As for the grasslands in the rear, we cannot rely solely on scouts. We must also utilize the power of local herdsmen and establish an intelligence network to ensure that we are fully aware of the movements of the enemy cavalry.

Once the enemy makes any unusual movement, we can respond quickly, either by taking the initiative to attack or adjusting our defense line.

Of course, our real enemy is still the Japanese army from Songyuan.

I guess that after suffering a few losses, Kujo Miyakita will not easily divide his troops anymore and the speed of attack will also slow down.

This leaves us plenty of time to maneuver.

But even so, we still have to keep abreast of each other’s dynamics.”

At this point, Duanwu said to Ma Pingan: "You also need to contact the underground party organization and let them keep abreast of the movements of the Japanese troops in Songyuan City. As soon as the devils leave the city, I want to know it first.

And only in this way can I infer when the Japanese army will arrive near Phoenix Mountain."

At this point, Duanwu paused to think and said, "The Japanese have poisonous gas, so let the combatants carry gas masks with them. Once the Japanese release the poison, they can abandon their positions and retreat immediately, wait for the poisonous gas to dissipate, or rebuild the defense line.

Another thing is the air defense of the base. The Japanese use of aircraft bombing is already an old trick. So air defense is also the focus of the next work. "

Ma Ping'an nodded repeatedly after hearing this, although from the perspective of traditional anti-mopping-up operations, Duanwu's tactics were a bit risky.

But based on the current situation and theory, Ma Pingan supports Duanwu.

Because of the previous counter-mopping-up operations, we were indeed a bit passive, with the only options being defense and transfer.

Although this can help avoid the Japanese raids, the losses are also huge.

And he believed that Duanwu would be able to fight well in this counter-mopping-up operation.

However, at this time, Duanwu looked at the one-eyed dragon and said, "Next, the black army may need to attack in full force, and you will face enemies that are ten times your number. It will be very dangerous, and many people will be sacrificed. Go back and talk to your brothers. If anyone is afraid and wants to withdraw, I will not stop them at this time."

The one-eyed man immediately stood up and said, "Captain, all the black-clad troops are dead men. Since they were trained by the six men, they have regarded themselves as dead men.

So Captain, you just need to issue the order, and leave the rest to our black troops. Even if we all die, we won't have any complaints!"
