Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

"Hello, commander..." Ding Wei had a proud look on his face just now, but when he heard the commander's words, he suddenly became alert and quickly turned around and stood at attention to greet him.

"Haha, good, good, all good!" The division commander looked at the soldiers with blood on their bodies, and also paid special attention to Si Yong whose face was covered with blood. Then he said, "I have been here for some time, but I didn't come here because I saw everyone was fighting! Comrades, you performed well. I saw the battle just now. Very good, all of you are very brave. You are worthy of being the main force of our Eighth Route Army!"

"It was thanks to the proper command of the headquarters and the comrades of the local regiment who were willing to fight the Japanese with their lives that we had time to set up ambush positions! And we also have to thank the comrades of the arsenal for providing us with so many good weapons. This makes our firepower stronger, and with the same number of troops, we can suppress the Japanese!" Ding Wei said modestly.

"Okay, this is your achievement, everyone can see it! Ding Wei, come with me!" The commander left after he finished speaking, and Ding Wei followed closely behind him, as if they had something to discuss.

"Commander, do you have any instructions?" Seeing that the guards were on guard from a distance, Ding Wei asked.

"Here's what happened!" The division commander took off his glasses, wiped them with a piece of cloth and put them back on. He then said, "Just when you were fighting, the headquarters passed by from the direction of Shiziling! If you hadn't been fighting here, I'm afraid the headquarters would have run into these devils! Although there is a 769th Regiment protecting the headquarters, the 769th Regiment's strength is insufficient."

"Is this... so serious? Where is our headquarters artillery regiment?" Ding Wei asked.

"The headquarters artillery regiment was discovered by the Japanese bomber formation while supporting the battle on the western front, and then dive-bombed. Although the comrades bravely drove the trucks into the woods, more than 20 trucks and mortars were destroyed, and we lost a lot of good comrades! But in war, there are both goings and goings. Didn't Li Yunlong defeat the Japanese mountain artillery battalion in the east?"

"Generally speaking, we still made a profit! But according to Li Yunlong's logic, we have little capital and are a small business, so losing a little money is a big deal. The Japanese devils are wealthy people and big shops, so even if they lose several times more money than us, it is just a drop in the bucket for them! So, we can't afford to lose money!"

"So what you mean is that we should find another Japanese team to fight and get back the money we lost?" Ding Wei's eyes were bright.

"What I mean is, as long as our headquarters is still there and the main force is still combat-ready, even if we lose some artillery, it won't have that much impact on us! We have an arsenal, and we can always make new mortars if we lose them! Our artillerymen were protected by everyone at the first opportunity, so the loss is not great. This is our capital for a comeback!"

“Ahem, I was led astray by the two of you…” The division commander smiled and said, “Now the headquarters is not far from us, and we are still moving. So my order to you is to strictly control all the mountain roads and paths leading to the rear, and never let any enemy pass!”

"Yes, Commander!" Ding Wei stood at attention and asked in a low voice, "So, how is Li Yunlong doing?"

"Report, the independent regiment sent a telegram!" In the distance, a signalman holding a telegram shouted the report. "Look, Li Yunlong is a member of Cao Cao's family. Speak of Cao Cao and Cao Cao will appear!" The division commander waved his hand while speaking, and the signalman put the telegram in the division commander's hand.

"Well, good, very good, you can take a look for yourself!" As it was getting dark, the division commander finally finished reading the telegram and threw it to Ding Wei to read.

"Independent Regiment report, we are..." Ding Wei looked around and saw that there were no people around, so he read it out in a low voice, and then the corners of his mouth couldn't help curling up: "Good guy, I can only say that his Li Yunlong is ruthless. He wiped out the enemy's brigade in one fell swoop, and captured five or six hundred enemy soldiers and puppet troops with a strong attack, and it was a tough battle with solid defense. Awesome!"

"Yes, Li Yunlong has made us proud this time. We have made a fortune! Haha..." The division commander also laughed.

"I've taken a look and found that the independent regiment's losses were not that great. They also adopted a method of fighting both on the ground and underground, with artillery bombardment and sniper attacks... These are experiences worth learning from, but they are also a warning to us! After all, Li Yunlong is smart, and there are no stupid people on the Japanese side. If the Japanese adopt this method to attack our base, we must be on guard!"

"But I think it is necessary for us to promote the three-three offensive tactics mentioned here throughout the division. I have also read the textbooks on this subject. I have to say that there are experts in our team who study tactics and are very good at providing tactical ideas to our team. However, the textbooks only give a rough idea, and the specific implementation still requires our frontline fighters to enrich their practice!"

Ding Wei was thinking freely and talking freely, but the division commander smiled with satisfaction. Among these regiment leaders, Li Yunlong was a madman who didn't care about his life when fighting and had many crooked ideas. But when it comes to study, tactical thinking, and strategic thinking, Ding Wei is definitely a rare talent! Of course, this is also affirmed by the leaders. After all, those who can be selected to study are not weak!

However, the war is urgent, and such good cadres can only learn while fighting, allowing the battlefield, a big classroom, to hone, educate and cultivate them.

"Ding Wei..." The division commander interrupted Ding Wei and asked him, "Then analyze how we should deal with the current battle situation in Shexian County? We don't have to go too far, just make a simple analysis of the situation around you, Li Yunlong, Yangyi and Wuan!"

"What is the current situation?" Ding Wei held Li Yunlong's battle report in his hand, but his mind was working rapidly, and the map of Shexian County flashed from time to time.

"Division Commander, this is what I think! You see, the Japs' Independent Mixed Brigade 1 (correction, it was written as 626 Brigades in Chapters 627 and 2) has two infantry battalions, one mountain artillery battalion, and two Imperial Army battalions of puppet troops, right? But what about now? Most of the Japs' troops have been wiped out by us, and their entire mountain artillery battalion has been wiped out!"

"That is to say, the Japanese did not have many troops stationed in Yangyi, which was occupied by the Japanese. Moreover, Yangyi has become a lonely point and will not receive support from the rear! After all, the Japanese mixed brigade only has two battalions left, but they have to face the pressure of garrisoning several counties around Handan, and basically cannot spare any troops."
