Chapter 748: It's Not Necessary at All
Sun Weiguo is planning to fight the puppet army and bandits through this time, so as to seize property, you must know that these puppet soldiers and bandits will definitely have a lot of property.
Sun Weiguo was full of expectations for this operation, and he felt that after this operation, the armored battalion troops would definitely be able to replenish the tanks.
The 2nd and 4th Battalions of the 1st Advance Regiment, the guard company, the mortar company, the mountain artillery company, the 1st Battalion, the 3rd Battalion, the reconnaissance battalion directly under the 6th Army Divisional Headquarters, the cavalry battalion, and the 3rd Battalion of the 1st Artillery Regiment were transferred to fight, Zhong Jian, the commander of the Independent Regiment, and Chen Yang, the deputy commander of the regiment, commanded the four infantry battalions in a unified manner, and Sun Weiguo, the commander of the Sixth Army Division, and Zhao Lerong, the chief of staff, unified all the troops to fight.
Political Commissar Shen Wei, Deputy Chief of Staff Sun Ziyuan, New Second Brigade Commander Fu Tao, and Chief of Staff Zhu Jianwei stayed at the garrison to be responsible for garrisoning and preventing a sneak attack by the Japanese army.
The combat units have been withdrawn, and the battle plan is still being drawn up.
The intelligence section has not yet passed on the news, and the battle plan they have drawn up is only on the whole, and once the intelligence section has passed on the situation of the puppet army bandits in southern Hebei and northern Henan, then Sun Weiguo and others can formulate a detailed battle plan based on this situation.
The battle plan for southern Hebei and northern Henan was being formulated, and the Japanese army in North China did not have any movement for the time being, and they were still using intelligence personnel to vigorously support the puppet army units and bandits, and many puppet army units began to cooperate with the Japanese troops to garrison the county town, and the bandits who were originally entrenched in their own territory also got Japanese weapons, and they began to attack the anti-Japanese troops.
On August 2, 1938, Sun Weiguo, in the name of the Sixth Army Divisional Headquarters, first sent a telegram to Commander Liu of the 129th Division.
The telegram sent by Sun Weiguo to Division Commander Liu was an operational plan drawn up by the Sixth Army Division, and Sun Weiguo was prepared to launch a sweeping attack from north to south for the puppet army bandits in southern Hebei and northern Henan.
At noon on the day that Sun Weiguo sent a telegram to Division Commander Liu, Division Commander Liu forwarded this telegram directly to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.
On the afternoon of 2 August, the head of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters approved Sun Weiguo's battle plan, and at the same time, the head of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters transferred the 129th Division and the 115th Division to cooperate with the troops of the Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Sixth Army Division.
The operational plan for the bandits and puppet army in southern Hebei and northern Henan has been approved by the commander of the Eighth Route Army, and the head of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army has also set a time for the operation, and Deputy General Peng has asked the sub-division units of the Sixth Army to start their activities on 10 August, rush to the southern Hebei combat area before 25 August, and launch an offensive against the puppet army bandits on 29 August.
The troops of the 129th and 115th Divisions immediately began to go to the designated area to stand by, waiting for the delivery of combat orders.
The divisional troops of the Sixth Army were assembled in eastern Shanxi, and they wanted to go to southern Hebei through a large area of Japanese-occupied areas.
It was somewhat difficult for Sun Weiguo to lead his troops through these Japanese-occupied areas to the combat area, so the head of the headquarters gave the Sixth Army Division a lot of time.
After receiving the telegram sent by the head of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, Sun Weiguo immediately began to convene an operational meeting, and the ministers and officials participating in the war immediately came to Suochun Town, Pingding County.
Liu Jingnuma, the commander of the second battalion, Zheng Guanzilin, the commander of the fourth battalion, Zhong Jian, the commander of the independent regiment, Chen Yang, the deputy commander of the independent regiment, Huang Gang, the commander of the first battalion, Zhang Wenbin, the commander of the third battalion, Chen Zhengwei, the commander of the reconnaissance battalion, Ge Haifeng, the commander of the cavalry battalion, and Li Jiaxin, the commander of the third battalion of the 1st Artillery Regiment, all came to Suochun Town.
The not very large conference room was already full of officers, and the officers looked towards the door.
When Sun Weiguo walked in from the door with Chief of Staff Zhao Lerong, the officers stood up one after another, and they saluted Sun Weiguo and Zhao Lerong.
Sun Weiguo and Zhao Lerong returned the salute to the officers, their faces showed calm expressions, Sun Weiguo sat on the chair, Zhao Lerong picked up the baton, came to the map, Zhao Lerong pointed the baton towards the map.
"According to the order of the head of the headquarters, we are about to carry out the combat mission against the puppet army bandits in the southern Hebei and northern Henan regions, and the officers who have come here, your troops will participate in this battle plan. The four infantry battalions were all commanded by Zhong Jian, the commander of the independent regiment, and Chen Yang, the deputy commander of the regiment, and the various units participating in the war were unified under the command of me and Zhao Lerong. ”
Sun Weiguo waited until the officers sat down in their chairs, he looked around, and said softly.
Listening to Sun Weiguo's words, the officers showed excited expressions on their faces, and they knew very well that there were many troops left behind in the garrison this time.
"Commander, we have dispatched so many troops to deal with these puppet armies and bandits, this is simply too much to look up to these puppet armies and bandits, and we can deal with them with one battalion. Commander, if you can let our battalion fight the main attack this time, we will definitely not disappoint you. ”
After hearing Sun Weiguo's words, Zhang Wenbin, the commander of the third battalion, immediately stood up from the chair, and Zhang Wenbin said with a confident expression.
"Commander, what Battalion Commander Zhang said makes sense, to deal with these puppet troops and bandits, there is no need for us to dispatch so many troops." Huang Gang, the commander of the first battalion, also said immediately.
Considering the current situation in the Sixth Army Division, Huang Gang, Zhang Wenbin, and other officers felt that it would be enough to send one or two battalions to deal with the puppet army and bandits, and there was no need to dispatch so many troops.
The four battalions that went out this time are the four main battalions of the previous pre-first regiment, and these four battalions can now be described as strong and strong, and one of their battalions has more than 800 people, which is almost the establishment of a small regiment of local troops, and each battalion has infantry guns and heavy machine guns, and one battalion of them can cope with the battle against the Japanese army and one brigade, and as for dealing with the puppet army and bandits, they did not take the puppet army and bandits in their eyes.
"Commander, at present, there are a lot of puppet army troops around our station, if we are just dealing with puppet troops and bandits in this operation, I think it is worthless for us to dispatch so many troops, after all, there are still many Japanese troops around us, once our main force withdraws, I am afraid that the Japanese army will inevitably attack us."
Chen Yang, the deputy head of the independent regiment, looked at Sun Weiguo and said, he couldn't help but show a worried expression on his face.
At present, in Binh Dinh County alone, the Japanese army has gathered more than 10,000 troops, and if the main force of the Sixth Army Division withdraws, then the remaining troops may not be able to deal with it.
Many officers feel that the puppet army and bandits are armed and that they do not have much combat effectiveness, and there is no need to dispatch so many troops to deal with them.
