Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 206 Sufficient Forces and Confidence (Second Update!)
Deng Hongtao and Jiang Hongchun had not been in the independent regiment for a long time, and it was the first time they faced such a bad situation, so they felt a little flustered.

Especially Deng Hongtao, who was not from a military background, faced such a huge pressure all of a sudden, it was impossible not to panic.

Seeing everyone lowered their heads and lost in thought, Deng Hongtao couldn't help asking: "Regimental Commander, how much do you think the little devil will send to attack us this time!"

"The Japanese army has no less than 4000 people, and the Imperial Association Army has no less than 2000 people. In addition, the standard artillery battalion of the Japanese army in Laiyuan City will definitely come over. As for the planes, at least one bomber squad will provide them with continuous air support!" Wang Ping frowned and analyzed.

"A battle involving so many troops at once is not a small scale for the Japanese army. They must ensure that they are safe!"

Deng Hongtao panicked even more, and exclaimed directly: "At least three times as many soldiers and firepower are attacking us, we will definitely not be able to stop it!"

"Regiment commander, political commissar, I think we should immediately formulate a retreat plan. Use our best guerrilla warfare to deal with the devils, and we can't fight them head-on. In the past, the commander and the others fought like this in the military region and military division!"

Wang Ping immediately had a feeling of admiration for Deng Hongtao.

It can be seen that Deng Hongtao is very flustered and very nervous now.For this point, Wang Ping did not look down on him. After all, Deng Hongtao was engaged in political work and had never commanded a war.What Wang Ping admired was that he didn't lose his mind, and he was able to use his limited military knowledge to come up with a solution he thought was the most reasonable.This is something that most political cadres cannot do.

If it is normal, Deng Hongtao's proposal is definitely the best.

It not only preserves the strength of the independent regiment, but also fights the devils, and it is also the most common method used by most of the Eighth Route Army to face the heavy encirclement and suppression of the Japanese army.

However, for the current independent group, this method does not work.

Because, the independent regiment also needs to cooperate to complete a big plan of the military division!

"Political commissar, first of all, please introduce to everyone a military operation that the military division will start in the near future and the role that our independent regiment will play in this operation. After that, we will study how to deal with the heavy Japanese attack and fight this battle well. !" Wang Ping ordered directly to Cheng Xiao.

Including Chief of Staff Zeng Quan, the three of them stared at Cheng Xiao with puzzled expressions.

"Comrades, the situation is like this! More than half a month ago, the military district judged that the Japanese army would gather the main force to attack us after completing the training, and then formulated a countermeasure against the devils' actions at any time."

"The specific content of the plan is that our independent regiment will withstand the Japanese attack for at least three days with the strength of one regiment, and force the Japanese army to draw out all the mobile forces in Laiyuan City to deal with us. The military division took the opportunity to gather the main force to attack and take down Laiyuan City. Source City."

"Although we still have to give Laiyuan City to the devils in the end, the large amount of supplies, weapons and ammunition hoarded by the Japanese and puppet troops in Laiyuan City are very important to the entire military division. Therefore, for this combat plan of the military division, I and The head of the regiment agrees. Although doing so will put our independent regiment in danger, and even cause heavy losses to the independent regiment. However, for the overall situation, for the anti-Japanese situation of the entire military division, this effort and price are worth it!"

Deng Hongtao, who was flustered at first, calmed down after hearing the decision, and then replied with a serious face: "Please rest assured, the head and political commissar, since there is an order, I, Deng Hongtao, will resolutely carry out it. At worst, I will lose my life here!"

Wang Ping answered with satisfaction: "Director Deng, you are serious!"

"Resisting the Japanese attack for three days seems like an impossible task. However, if you are ready, it is not impossible to complete him!"

"This month, the Japanese army is preparing, and we are also preparing. The next thing I have to do is to check how everyone is preparing, and then formulate a battle plan to defend our positions based on our real strength!"

Cheng Xiao also encouraged at this time: "Don't worry, everyone, our regiment leader is the master who never suffers. When I received the order, I heard him say that not only should we guard our garrison, but also find a way to eat up the Japanese artillery. Brigade, set up a veritable artillery battalion in our independent regiment!"

Chief of Staff Zeng Quan's eyes lit up first, and the heavy expression on his face disappeared.

He and Wang Ping have been partners for the longest time, and they also know Wang Ping best.

Since Wang Ping said such big words, he must have the confidence to say big things.

Therefore, Zeng Quan chose to trust Wang Ping without hesitation, and then began to report.

"Regimental Commander, I am in charge of the training of the troops: the three main battalions have all completed their training, and their combat effectiveness is not lower than that of a month ago. Especially when more than 100 seriously wounded who have just been discharged from the hospital recently returned to the army, their combat effectiveness will increase immediately. At least [-]%!"

"The troops directly under the regiment headquarters, except for the cavalry company, which is only beginning to have combat effectiveness, other troops can be pulled out to fight at any time."

"After the garrison battalion has added dozens of seriously wounded people, its combat effectiveness has also risen sharply. Because it is not equipped with heavy weapons, its combat effectiveness can only reach [-]% to [-]% of that of the main battalion."

"However, using them to defend the position must be more than a mistake."

"After the main force is fully staffed, there are still more than 600 recruits left. I transferred dozens of people from the severely wounded who were discharged from the hospital to serve as grassroots cadres, and formed a strengthened recruit battalion with five recruit companies under its jurisdiction. Weapons are on par with the main force."

"Deputy commander Feng also serves as the battalion commander, and deputy instructor He also serves as the instructor. After such a long period of training, this new battalion has begun to have combat effectiveness."

"In addition, according to the order of the regiment headquarters, I have set up a 100-man recruit company for each of the three main battalions. Each battalion will conduct training by itself, and all of them will be equipped with light weapons to supplement the loss of the main force on the battlefield at any time!"

"The main force plus the garrison battalion and the recruit battalion, we now have a total of more than 900 troops!"

"Why are there so many people?" Wang Ping asked in surprise but did not understand.

"I remember the last time we sent troops to attack Laiyuan City, we lost nearly 2000 people, and the total number of recruits was only more than 2000 but less than 1000. Where did the extra [-] people come from!"

"The captives and the people nearby!" Deng Hongtao, director of the Political Department, stood up and said.

"Although the loss in the attack on Laiyuan was great, it also brought back many prisoners of the Imperial Association Army. A total of more than 300 people were mobilized to join our independent regiment."

"The other thing is the people in the vicinity. Although our casualties are heavy, our reputation has been earned after all. In addition to our resettlement expenses, pensions have never been deducted, and the enthusiasm of the people to join our Eighth Route Army is still very high."

"Over the past month, people have come to us one after another, asking to join the Eighth Route Army."

If you have enough troops, you will have enough confidence to fight the next battle.

After nodding with satisfaction, Wang Ping ordered: "Notify all troops, except for the recruits who continue to train, the daily training volume of the main force is halved. The battle may start at any time, and the main force must have enough physical strength to fight!"
