Chapter 1067: Changing Generals in Battle, Reorganizing the Troops (First Update!) )

The commissar and chief of staff were frightened.

These four counties cover nearly four-fifths of the territory and population of the base areas, and the soldiers snatched them back from the devils with their lives and blood, and they gave up without fighting, and not only they could not accept it, but also the soldiers and civilians in the base areas.

They will also think that the garrison regiment is facing the pressure of the Japanese soldiers, and in order to survive, they will leave them alone and run away on their own.

When the news comes, it will certainly have a huge impact on the reputation and prestige of the garrison regiment, and if it is not done well, it will also affect the morale of the troops.

Most of the fighters in the unit came from the base areas, and they were found everywhere.

If they knew that the troops had given up their hometown to the little devils, they would definitely have no intention of fighting.

These questions appeared in Wang Hong's mind like a movie, forcing him to subconsciously object.

"I disagree!"

Hong Linfeng's opposition also sounded at the same time, and his attitude was very resolute.

"Don't be in a hurry to object, listen to what I've to say!" Li Hao interrupted, not giving them a chance to continue.

"What I mean by giving up is not that all the main forces are withdrawn, and it doesn't matter if the people and the base areas are completely left to the little devils."

"In order not to give us an opportunity, the Japanese army will only advance 30 kilometers to the hinterland of the base area after the start of a new round of attacks."

"Two more attacks, the three counties of Guangling, Wei County, and Laiyuan will be completely divided and occupied by the devils, and judging from the size of the three counties, they will be cut into at least nine pieces."

"I will arrange in advance for nine main companies to lurk in these nine base areas and hold their troops still."

"When the Japanese puppet army thought that they had completely taken these nine base areas and were about to launch an attack on Lingqiu, nine companies suddenly took action, messing up their rear and forcing them to allocate a large number of troops to reinforce these nine base areas."

"In order to divide these three counties, the little devils will build at least nine large strongholds and twenty or thirty small and medium-sized strongholds."

"In order to prevent the stronghold from being breached by us, the blockade ditch is destroyed by us, and it is useless, at least one hundred Japanese puppet troops must be stationed in small and medium-sized strongholds, and three or four hundred Japanese puppet troops should be stationed in large strongholds."

"Lose them, and there won't be many troops that the Japanese puppet army can use to attack Lingqiu."

"In addition, in addition to forcing the Japanese puppet army to divide its troops and dragging them down, the nine main companies also have to lead the local troops in the area under their jurisdiction, and the guerrillas will attack the Japanese puppet army in the territory and consume their troops."

"Nine base areas, each base area kills a little devil in a day, and the total number of people in a month is nearly 300."

"I believe that with the combat effectiveness and equipment level of the garrison regiment, the final result will definitely be much greater than this number."

"From the attack, to the establishment of a blockade ditch and a blockade wall, and then to sweep the occupied area, and finally completely occupy this base area, it will take twenty days no matter how fast they are, and when they reach Lingqiu, two months will pass."

"It is definitely no problem for the hidden troops and the troops under the direct command of the regimental headquarters to use guerrilla warfare to kill one or two thousand Japanese puppet troops."

"At that time, there will be even fewer Japanese puppet troops attacking Lingqiu."

"We have the opportunity to concentrate our superior forces and defeat them."

The serious expression on Wang Hong's face was a lot more soothing: "Regiment commander, the plan is a good plan, but the battle time is a bit long, at least three months, before we can turn defeat into victory and win this counter-sweep." ”

Li Hao shook his head and replied: "Three months is too short, in my plan, this counter-sweep will take at least half a year." ”

"In the first stage, most of the base areas were abandoned, and the hidden troops were arranged to evade the heavy sweep of the Japanese puppet army and take root in various guerrilla areas."

"In the second stage, force the little devils to divide their troops, and through guerrilla warfare and local counteroffensives, defeat the offensive momentum of the Japanese puppet army, block them from Lingqiu, and keep the old base area."

"The third stage, which can also be called the stalemate stage, uses guerrilla warfare, movement warfare, and a war of attrition with the Japanese puppet army to kill their living forces."

"The fourth and final stage, the big counteroffensive."

"Capture the large and small strongholds built by the Japanese puppet army in our base areas, destroy the blockade ditches and blockade walls, recover the lost territory, and turn the guerrilla areas back into our base areas."

Li Hao explained in great detail, and the two of them understood it as soon as they heard it.

Wang Hong supported on the spot: "Commander, I fully agree with this plan. ”

"How can I beat you and give orders! I support it absolutely and unconditionally. ”

Li Hao was not polite: "In order to adapt to the next battle, I will first reorganize the whole regiment." ”

"It is said that changing people in battle will be a taboo for soldiers, and I will do it once today. Not only did they have to change generals before the battle, but they also had to perform a major operation on the troops. ”

"I decided to form four independent battalions in Hunyuan, Guangling, Weixian, and Laiyuan, and fight independently and develop independently in the four counties."

"The first battalion was reorganized into the Hunyuan Independent Battalion, and Zhao Wen was the battalion commander."

"The second battalion was reorganized into the Guangling Independent Battalion, the third battalion was reorganized into the Weixian Independent Battalion, and the original garrison regiment was reorganized into the Laiyuan Independent Battalion."

"Except for the Hunyuan Independent Battalion, the mission remains unchanged, continue to garrison Hunyuan and insist on fighting with the little devils."

"The remaining three independent battalions are each responsible for the divided base area of the little devils."

"I don't care how the troops are lurking, how they communicate with each other, and how they fight with devils."

"After the task is given to them, I only want the result, not the process."

"Without violating discipline, as long as he has the ability, I have no problem expanding the independent battalion from 500 to 1,000 people."

"After the four main battalions were reorganized into independent battalions, the three main battalions of the garrison regiment were rebuilt."

"The special service battalion was reorganized into one battalion, the mobile battalion was reorganized into two battalions, the third battalion was rebuilt, the recruit company, the special service company, the mobile company, and the newly formed special service company and mobile company were strengthened company establishment."

"Does the political commissar remember the twenty cadres I brought back from Commander Chen?"

"I have two platoon commanders in each of the four independent battalions, and I will directly join the main company as the deputy company commander."

"All the rest replenish the main force of the regiment, serving as a company commander, deputy company commander, and even a battalion commander."

"I want to train the main force of the new regiment into an elite that cannot be defeated or delayed."

Wang Hong didn't hesitate, and directly agreed: "I agree." ”

"Regiment commander, on the surface, you are changing generals on the spot, and you have committed a taboo, but in fact, it does not have much impact on the entire battle situation."

"According to your plan, there were no large-scale battles in the first two months of the battle."

"After the start of the second phase of the battle, the main participating units were three separate battalions, and their units were not affected by the reorganization, but only changed their names."

"And I also agreed to let Commander Chen support our cadres to train the troops."

"The garrison regiment relies too much on weapons, is not good at hand-to-hand combat, and has a worse will to fight than the old Eighth Road, so it is just taking this opportunity to make up for this shortcoming."

Li Hao continued: "After the reorganization is completed, the main force of the garrison regiment will have three main battalions, a cavalry battalion, an air defense battalion, a heavy artillery battalion, a mobile company, a guard company, a special service company, a reconnaissance company, a baggage company, plus a communications platoon, and an assault team, with a full strength of 3,000 people. ”
