Chapter 220 Battle Plan (Third Watch)
220
Hu Bin said to Huo Qingge that he wanted him to inform Li Qinwei and let Li Qinwei send scouts to reconnoiter nearby places to determine if there were any devils in ambush nearby, if there were, then they couldn't fight, if not, they would definitely find a way to kill those devils tonight.
"Okay!" Huo Qingge immediately sent a telegram to Li Qinwei, informing him to release the reconnaissance unit.
Hu Bin continued to observe there, and after a while, Hu Bin asked Huo Qingge to send a telegram to Hu Changgui, telling him the situation here, and after sending the telegram, Hu Bin waited there.
At this time, Commander Peng and the others were also telegraphing with the commander-in-chief, and the news sent back by Hu Bin was very credible.
On the Yan'an side, they also received relevant information that the devils were going to send troops to attack their Eighth Route Army.
"Well, the devil is really going to do something to us!" The commander said there with a cigarette in his hand.
They had expected this scene before, because if the Eighth Route Army really prevented the devils from transporting supplies south, the devils would definitely retaliate, but the Eighth Route Army could not attack them because of the devils' retaliation, this is related to the overall situation of China's resistance against Japan, no matter how big the sacrifice is, it must be done!
"The troops of 6 divisions and regiments, a large army fighting, we may lose a lot of base areas, it doesn't matter if we lose base areas, we may suffer the people there, the devil is estimated to use the people to get angry.
According to the statistics on our side, the places occupied by our Eighth Route Army, the people in the areas occupied by the devils in the vicinity, are all moving to our side, and if we lose those base areas, then our people will suffer. Those devils, for the people on our side, will not let go! The commander-in-chief said worriedly.
"Well, now we have to arrange for those people to retreat, and they can't be plagued by devils! Once we are plagued, the people will surely hate us. It's time for our troops to escort our people to the transfer, and they can't stay close to the battlefield, it's too dangerous. The commander nodded.
"But there are too many people, and spring is about to begin, and after spring, those wheat should be topdressed, and the people will not give up those things easily, it's difficult!" The Commander-in-Chief spoke.
"Even if it's hard, you have to do it. Let our party members and cadres go to do ideological work for the people, and when those devils are gone, we will fight back. You can't care about these things, their lives are the most important thing. The commander said immediately.
"Well, I will send a telegram to Commander Peng and a few other troops, the retreat is to retreat, but. It's not good to fight this battle, and the devil clearly wants to drive us further to the northwest.
We now have quite a few troops. But if we really want to fight the devil head-on, we will suffer a big loss, the devil is here in North China, but there are many planes, we fight them head-on, we can't beat them. And the casualties will be huge! The commander-in-chief was still worried.
Now the equipment of the Eighth Route is still inferior to the devil's, in addition to artillery, the devils also have aircraft, and the Eighth Route Army has no way to take those planes, and the commander was silent when he heard it. If it doesn't work well this time, the Eighth Route Army will have to pay a huge price.
On Commander Peng's side, Commander Peng was also worried at this time, the devil used so many troops to come, which was very troublesome.
"Report, Brigade Commander Chen reports that the six regiments under him are going to go out in battle today and launch an attack on the devil's garrison outside Zhongyang County!" At this time, a staff officer came to him with a telegram and reported.
"Today's battle, launching an attack on the outside of Zhongyang County, isn't there 2 brigades over there, and their six regiments can still deal with the devil's 2 brigades?" Commander Peng heard the strangeness, and then took the telegram and looked at it carefully.
"Yes, I can slowly grind the devils of the 2 brigades into less than the strength of the brigade, and those devils have also taken a defensive posture, then hit the fuck!"
After Commander Peng saw Brigade Commander Chen's telegram, he realized that the strength of the two brigades over there had been almost worn out.
Seeing this situation, Commander Peng of course agreed that they would fight, and it was also good to be able to eliminate as many devils as possible before the big war, so as to reduce the pressure for the later big war.
"I have to say, the newly established Sixth Regiment, the combat effectiveness is still okay, some time ago, they also robbed the devil's train, and now the place where we contact the devil is also in their sixth regiment, it is indeed good, this unit!" Political Commissar Ren heard it, nodded and said.
"Well, the newly established army has not yet gone through a big war, but Hu Bin is in that regiment, and the head of the regiment is Hu Bin's father, Hu Changgui, this time he has rubbed out so many troops from the devil, it is estimated that Hu Bin has made great efforts!" Commander Peng heard it, nodded, smiled and said.
"Yes, however, if we kill those troops, you say, should we let Hu Bin kill the 8th Wing in Zhongyang County, there are more than 3,000 people there, because we have been cooperating before, Hu Bin may not attack them, but now that the war is imminent, it is not a good thing to keep them!" Political Commissar Ren looked at Commander Peng and said.
"Don't you need supplies over there?" Commander Peng heard it, looked at him and asked.
"Yes, but isn't it stressful right now? Being able to kill a wing of the devils before the big war is still a huge benefit to our Eighth Route Army! Commissar Ren nodded, but also gave his reasons.
"Then wait, let's see how Hu Bin's side arranges, if you really want to fight, Hu Bin will bring it up, after all, the eighth wing is threatening his camp, there is danger, Hu Bin will solve it in advance!" Commander Peng thought for a moment and said to Commissar Ren.
"That's right!" Political Commissar Ren heard it and nodded in agreement.
Soon, Brigade Commander Chen received a telegram from Commander Peng agreeing to fight, and Brigade Commander Chen immediately sent a telegram to Hu Changgui, agreeing to fight.
Hu Changgui received a telegram, with a guard company to find Hu Bin, the troops behind, still resting, to fight, it will not be so fast, Hu Changgui found Hu Bin's troops, led by other soldiers, Hu Changgui to the top of the hill that Hu Bin observed.
"Dad, why are you here?" Hu Bin saw his Lao Tzu coming, and asked in surprise.
"Come here in advance to observe the situation, here is the position of the devil?" Hu Changgui smiled and asked Hu Bin.
"Yes!" Hu Bin nodded, while Hu Changgui leaned on the trench and looked at it with a telescope.
After looking at it for a few minutes, Hu Changgui put down his binoculars.
"Will it work?" Hu Bin looked at his father and asked.
"Yes, but it's hard to get closer! The devil's firepower is too fierce, and we rush over and estimate that the casualties will be very large! Hu Changgui looked down and said.
"If there are large casualties, it will not be worth it!" When Hu Bin heard it, he immediately hesitated.
"If it's not cost-effective, you have to fight, and now you know that the devil's side is going to mobilize a large force to attack us, and killing part of the devil's troops now can also help us fight in the future and reduce the pressure.
Now all the troops, the troops that are attacking the devils, that is, several regiments of our brigade, are now participating in the war. Hu Changgui turned his head, looked at Hu Bin and said.
"But attacking such a position, if there are many casualties, it is too cost-effective!" Hu Bin still feels that he can't do it, he can't attack strongly, the devil's position is fierce, and the heavy machine gun and light machine gun fire are very well matched.
"Then what do you say, if you don't fight today, the devils may have reinforcements coming over in the next few days, and Xiaobin, when we fight, not only do we have to have reinforcements from the devils on the embankment railway, but also the eighth wing of the county.
Although they haven't clashed with us yet, don't forget, they are also devils, and it only takes less than 40 minutes for them to come in with reinforcements.
That is to say, we have to launch an attack, and deal with the devils within 40 minutes, which is even more difficult, we can only launch a fierce attack, and our heavy weapons cannot be transported yet, if there is artillery, there is no need to be so troublesome at all! Hu Changgui looked at Hu Bin and said.
"I know, I will send a telegram to Wen Jin's side, and ask them to tell the devils of the Eighth Wing that if they dare to come out, Lao Tzu will kill them all, if they want to come out, come out slowly, and they must notify me!" Hu Bin nodded and said.
"Well, at noon, I sent a reconnaissance company over there, and once the devils in the county town are dispatched, they will notify us!" Hu Changgui continued.
He wasn't worried about the devil in that direction yet, so he had to prepare in advance.
"Damn, Xiaobin, you have snipers over there, I want your troops to do a few things!" After Hu Changgui scolded, he said to Hu Bin.
"Dad, you say!" Hu Bin looked at Hu Changgui.
"You have sharpshooters on your side, before we attack, you have to do two things, one is to kill the devil's searchlight, and the second is to kill the heavy machine gun above our offensive line, as long as our soldiers rush to the devil's position, the devil will be finished.
We are not afraid of their rifles, at a distance of several hundred meters, they can't fire a few shots, and our casualties can still be controlled! Hu Changgui said to Hu Bin, who nodded in agreement when he heard it.
"But, Dad, I want to attack from the side with my troops, so that the devils don't know where our main attack direction is, and attract the devils' firepower, you see?" Hu Bin looked at Hu Changgui and said.
"The flank is definitely going to attack, I will send someone to do this, we are mainly a feint, not the main attack, just attract firepower, you and your troops are on the side of the direction of the main attack." Hu Changgui nodded, and said, how to fight, he already has a number in his heart. (To be continued.) )
