Chapter 897: Cooperating with the Bandits
Although the little devils are already working to restrict Ma Wanzhong's development, their understanding of Ma Wanzhong is still on the bandit side! So this time the Japanese army suffered a loss! Although the three turrets in one stronghold did not let the little devils lose many people, the Japanese army thought that this was a provocation to them! Especially under the triangular formation that they thought was foolproof, the Chinese army easily broke them.
The Japanese commander knew that he was careless, but the combat effectiveness of that unit in the mountains was indeed beyond their expectations, at least the bandits did not have such combat effectiveness, so they lost a stronghold and three artillery towers overnight!
"How many troops do they have?" Only then did the Japanese commanders realize that they did not even know the strength of their opponents.
"According to the analysis of their first two battles with us, their total strength is about 3,000 people!"
In the first two battles, the Japanese army only suffered some small losses, arranged troops to blockade Ma Wanzhong and them, and did not investigate Ma Wanzhong and them! And when winter comes, Ma Wanzhong and the others are all small fights, and there is not much difference from the bandits' combat methods, but from now on, it seems to be more organized than the bandits' combat methods!
"Three thousand! Where do bandits have such a big force! ”
Although there are many bandits in the dense mountains and forests of the northeast, the largest number of bandits will not exceed 1,000! Some of the few hundred people's hairlocks will claim to have thousands of people in order to gain momentum!
And now a force of 3,000 people has indeed emerged, and these 3,000 people not only did not annex the surrounding silks, but only fought against the Japanese army, and the little devil had to consider the composition and purpose of this army!
"From the previous battles and this time, it can be seen that they are not only well organized and disciplined, but also very strong in combat! The weapons used are not ordinary, the firepower is strong, and according to speculation, their individual firepower may be higher than that of our soldiers! ”
"Is the former Anti-Union back?"
The Japanese commander believed that the composition of this force was the Anti-Alliance! Although they wiped out the main force of the Anti-United Nations, some of them still fled to the Soviet Union, and now they are at war with the Soviets, and it is very likely that the Anti-United Nations people have returned from the Soviet Union!
"It is very likely that they received equipment from the Soviets or units that already belonged to the Soviet Union and were trained by the Soviets to have such a strong combat effectiveness!"
The little devil guessed that Ma Wanzhong belonged to the Anti-Japanese Federation, after all, the Anti-Japanese Federation had its own foundation in the Northeast back then, although it was not a hundred responses, but the Anti-Japanese Federation had a very great influence in the local area, and the people also supported them.
If it is really the return of the Anti-United Nations now, this matter will no longer be a regional problem, and there will be a shadow of the Anti-United Nations in the entire Northeast!
"Report this matter, send additional troops to each stronghold, and wait until the situation is clear!" The Japanese commander was a little unable to sit still when he thought that it might be the return of the Anti-Japanese Union who had received Soviet equipment and training!
It is likely that the Soviets are trying to break the current stalemate, so they arranged for the people of the Anti-Union to return to China and contain them from behind!
The Japanese commander knew that this matter was beyond his control, and if it was really the Anti-United Nations who came back after receiving equipment and training from the Soviets, it would indeed be a bit stretched to deal with the 3,000-strong Anti-United Nations with his current strength!
And this matter is likely to have involved strategic deployment, if this is really deliberately arranged by the Soviets, then it will affect the entire Northeast!
Of course, Ma Wanzhong is not a member of the Anti-Japanese Federation, but the purpose of their coming to the Northeast is to disrupt the Japanese army! However, Ma Wanzhong knew that with their current strength, it would be difficult to contain most of the Japanese army's strength and help Liao Fan and them attack the northeast!
Therefore, Ma Wanzhong must break the blockade of the Japanese army as soon as possible, and then develop and expand the troops, so that the Japanese army can arrange more troops to keep an eye on them, only in this way, when Liao Fan arranges the troops to attack the Japanese army in the northeast, the pressure will be less!
"Commander, the Japanese army has sent more troops, it seems that our counterattack has touched the Japanese army quite a lot!"
Although the counterattack they launched this time did not hurt the Japanese army much, it did stimulate the little devils, and the strength of the surrounding Japanese strongholds and artillery towers doubled! In addition, mobile troops have been dispatched to maintain mobility in the surrounding losses, and support as soon as a situation arises!
"I'm not worried about the increase in the number of troops sent by the Japanese army, no matter how many troops the Japanese army sends, it is impossible to station too many troops in one stronghold!" Ma Wanzhong must not be worried about the Japanese army sending more troops, no matter how many troops the Japanese army sends out, they will also disperse the troops to the surrounding strongholds, and Ma Wanzhong's troops have been gathered together and clenched their fists, fighting wherever they want, "I care about the situation on the bandits' side now!" ”
The strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, although Ma Wanzhong wants to subdue the locks of the major mountains, but he can't be too anxious, he can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, if he doesn't do something to make the masters admire, even if these bandits join them, they won't be really convinced, but they are forced to bow their heads because they are strong! And in case of urgency, although these locks will not defect to the Japanese, it is still disgusting to stumble them in the dark.
"Today, two mountain dreadlocks sent a letter to me, saying that there is something we need help with in the future, although the command, but the vast majority of people are still in a wait-and-see state! Commander, if we tell them who we are, I believe they are willing to fight with us! ”
On the battlefield of resistance against Japan, Taihang Mountain has become a golden signboard! With this golden sign, you really don't have to worry that no one wants to cooperate with them.
"Can you think of something in your head, do you promise to tell these bandits now, they won't turn around and tell the little devils? At present, the Japanese army does not know our identity, and this is the biggest cover for us! And the outside of the gate is different from the inside of the gate, after all, the bandits here are local bandits, unlike us who came here from the outside of the gate! ”
How could Ma Wanzhong not know the influence of Taihang Mountain on the anti-Japanese situation in the whole country now, but bandits are bandits after all, they are collectives that exist for personal interests, not like the army, they exist for the interests of the country! These bandits can do anything for the sake of profit before they become a truly binding force!
Although Ma Wanzhong is anxious to develop and grow, the safety of the troops must be the main thing at present! It can't be obscene, but it can't be too conspicuous.
"In this way, you first contact the two masters who took the initiative to contact us, invite them to come to us, we will make a verbal agreement with them, at least cooperate first, let them see the benefits of following us, as long as there are benefits, we will definitely be able to make other locks also tempted!"
Since someone took the initiative to approach them, Ma Wanzhong couldn't turn them away, and he had to entertain them warmly, as long as the other locks saw that they had meat to eat with them, why not worry about them taking the initiative to take refuge!
Ma Wanzhong met with the two bosses of the locks, and they didn't talk about much, mainly to make friends and pull relationships, and Ma Wanzhong promised them that as long as there were benefits, they would definitely be brought along!
"Hey~"
Ma Wanzhong looked at the backs of the two masters leaving, and sighed!
"Why is the commander sighing?"
"I thought it was our battle that made a reputation, and they took the initiative to take refuge!" Ma Wanzhong smiled bitterly.
"Didn't they come here sincerely?"
"I don't know if it's really true, but these two locks are the two weakest locks in the neighborhood, and they are also bullied by other locks in normal times, and the reason why they are willing to follow us is to find a backer and no longer be bullied by other locks!"
In the conversation just now, Ma Wanzhong can be regarded as figuring out the details of the two people! Why didn't the two of them come to them at the first time, but took the initiative to contact Ma Wanzhong after they won a battle, because Ma Wanzhong felt that they were still valuable, instead of being desperate to take refuge in them.
"That'...... Commander, aren't we working in vain? "The staff officers don't feel good in their hearts, they are still the first time to be despised by others, thinking that when they were in Taihang Mountain, they were also one of the three main forces, and the little devils didn't dare to look down on them so much.
"It's not in vain, if such a small group of bandits is really supported by us, it means that we also have the ability, and when the other leaders see that the smallest locks in the neighborhood are stronger than them, they will definitely be unwilling in their hearts, if they want to become strong, they will definitely take the initiative to contact us!"
For Ma Wanzhong, this is not a bad thing, at least someone is willing to take the initiative to contact them.
However, things are often easier said than done! The surrounding Japanese army besieged Ma Wanzhong and didn't pay attention to it, but the Japanese army could beat the bandits by pulling out a random team!
In view of not being held back by these two bands, Ma Wanzhong decided to arrange a few soldiers for them first, so that these bandits would at least be trained in an organized and disciplined manner, so that they would not be scattered on the battlefield.
"Remember, when you get to the bandits' den, as long as you train them, you can't get involved in anything else! They don't belong to us right now, and if you rush it, it's likely to cause side effects! ”
Ma Wanzhong told the soldiers who went to the bandits' den, so that they must pay attention to their words and deeds, there are internal regulations within the army, and there are bandit rules within the bandits, not a type of person, naturally some ideas will be different, even if the head of the house gives them the right, they must also be cautious of their words and deeds, because the master gives you the right, and when you don't like it, you can also take the right away, and then the problem will be big.
