Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Matan, headquarters, a huge map was spread out on the desk. The deputy commander looked at the locations marked on the map bit by bit, studying the entire battle situation.

"Neiji Okamura is a very good opponent, very powerful, worthy of being Yan Laoxi's teacher! His deployment of troops and his ability to command are really not something that ordinary people can do!" said the deputy commander as he watched.

"The battle situation is basically clear now! Gangcun has mobilized almost 7% of the North China Front Army to deal with us this time! Especially after Zhongtiao Mountain was occupied by the Japanese army, the devils had sufficient mobile forces, which allowed them to make more flexible use! However, the devils' dispatch and other things have overlooked one problem of ours, that is, we are no longer the same as before!"

Although the enemy was coming aggressively, the deputy commander was not afraid! Isn't it just a siege? Isn't it just mobilizing the army to attack at multiple points to form a huge encirclement? Haven't we fought enough anti-encirclement and suppression battles? And our equipment, especially the infantry equipment, is not bad!

Thinking of this, the deputy commander-in-chief also thought of a problem, that is, the team that broke out of Jizhong would have a lot of casualties and missing personnel, and some of these soldiers were holding semi-automatic rifles, and some were holding assault rifles. If the devils took these weapons to imitate, it might be a big threat in the future! After all, the devils' manufacturing capabilities are not comparable to the Eighth Route Army!
Of course, now is not the time to worry about this. What we should consider now is which teams should be mobilized to stop the various Japanese invaders, and even win in small-scale battles to change the situation of the war.

"Report!" The signalman took the telegram, walked up to the chief of staff, and gave the telegram he had just translated to the chief of staff.

"Oh? Haha..." Listening to the report from the Beishan Detachment, the Chief of Staff laughed happily: "The Japanese in Jingxing have been completely wiped out, the Japanese in Ping'an County are hesitant to move forward, and the Japanese in Xiyang are still sweeping away bit by bit. From this point of view, the threat from the north is much less! In the direction of Jiulongguan?"

After the chief of staff finished reporting the situation, the deputy commander smiled happily: "No matter what the enemy's goal is, at least for now, the Liangjia Village Arsenal is no longer in danger. This is good news for us! As for the enemy in the direction of Jiulongguan, let the Beishan Detachment help deal with it!"

The order from the headquarters had not yet been issued, but Zhao Danian had issued the latest order: The Third Battalion, immediately mobilize three companies all the way south, take the newly captured ammunition, catch up with the heavy company, and reinforce Jiulongguan! At the same time, the main force of the first regiment sent at least one platoon of troops down the Gantao River, waiting for the heavy company heading south near Kongshi, and asked them to reinforce Jiulongguan.

After the troops were mobilized, the detachment received orders from the headquarters. This made Zhao Danian feel relieved. At least the headquarters knew about the situation, right?
After replying to the telegram, Zhao Danian finally had time to sit down and discuss the deployment of the Japanese with Guo Zhongmin. They could not discuss the overall deployment, but they could still analyze the enemy situation around the Pingdong base.

"It's obvious that the Japanese have divided their forces into four groups for our Pingdong base! No matter what the ultimate goal of these four groups is, at least in our Pingdong District, as long as our strength is weaker, the Japanese can sweep from our Liangjia Village, Weijia Village to Ceyu Town from the east to the west and carry out a devastating sweep of our base."

"Then in the south, the Japanese can also sweep from Xiyang to Jiulongguan from east to west, crossing this line. Then next, the Japanese may go north or south and sweep every village in our base! No matter what the final choice of the Japanese is, it is foreseeable that these villages in our base will suffer great losses!" Zhao Danian said, pointing to the map.

"What you said is just analysis. The current situation is that the Japanese in Jingxing have been completely wiped out. The Third Battalion did not suffer much casualties and can still provide timely reinforcements in the direction of Jiulong Pass! And opposite us, the Japanese dare not move forward and are still repairing their positions for defense. They are planning to fight a war of attrition with us. In the south, the pocket formation of the main regiment has been set up... So, there is no problem!" Guo Zhongmin said.

"That's right, we are just waiting for the enemy to make a move! It's almost afternoon, maybe the enemy will wait until night to attack us, you have to arrange for the comrades to rest early!" "Don't worry, we have done a lot of anti-sneak attack work, and we have already made arrangements..."

Outside Liangjia Village, at the door of the warehouse, Li Yuexuan naturally also received the enemy's location and battle situation report sent by the detachment headquarters. This was something that he, as the deputy detachment commander, should be aware of.

Looking at the descriptions of the two battles, one in the east and one in the west, Li Yuexuan smiled. He then handed the materials to Song Changsheng and asked him to explain them to the cadres and soldiers present.

Song Changsheng quickly finished reading the battle report, put down the materials, and then looked at Li Yuexuan with everyone else.

"If you have any questions, just ask and we'll analyze it together!" Li Yuexuan had nothing to do, so he thought he could explain it to these people.

"Captain, I noticed one thing. That is why the directional mines in Yinjiulang Village and Beizhang City both hit the puppet troops first? Is there any reason behind this?" Huang Yang asked.

"This question? Then let me explain to you why this is the case! After the analysis, think about it yourself, and you will be able to deal with it when you encounter such an enemy in the future!" Li Yuexuan sorted out his thoughts and said this.

"In order of battle, let's talk about the battle in Yinjiulang Village first! The goal of the directional mine explosion this time was to destroy the manpower of the Japanese and puppet troops, kill a large number of enemy personnel, create corpses and wounded soldiers, and force the enemy to stop the rhythm of the attack! The situation at that time was that there were only two soldiers in Yinjiulang Village responsible for detonating directional mines! There were a large number of puppet troops in front, and the devils were behind!"

"There is a detail here. That is, the Japanese divided into three groups and marched in parallel, still behind the puppet army! One of the Japanese groups went east along the ridge of Woniu Mountain!"

"The question is, since the goal is to kill a large number of Japanese and puppet troops, what should we choose? Bomb the Japanese? When the Japanese enter the explosion zone, there will be only one or two hundred of them, and the Japanese from Woniu Mountain in the north have already entered Yin Jiulang Village, and can even discover the soldiers who detonated the explosion in advance! So we can only bomb the large number of defenseless puppet troops, and then retreat calmly!"

"What about the battle in Beizhangcheng Village? The goal is to interrupt the marching column of the Japanese puppet army, so that they can't take care of both the front and the rear! So, no matter whether it was the puppet army or the Japanese, as long as they were on the side of Beizhangcheng Village, they had to be blown up. There was no choice! It was just a coincidence that the Japanese were walking in front and the puppet army happened to be in that position!"

"That is to say, if the Japanese choose to walk behind, they will also be blown up on the spot by the merciless directional mines. There is no need to make a choice! This place is for the deployment on the battlefield. There is no choice. Whoever walks over there will be blown up! In fact, the same is true for Yin Jiulang Village. If the Japanese walk in front like Beizhang City, they will also be blown up! Even the two soldiers who stay behind to detonate will pay with their lives!" (End of this chapter)
