Chapter 680: Sending troops to Zanhuang County

The meeting of the New 2nd Brigade was still going on, and the officers of the 1st Pre-Regiment and the 6th Cavalry Regiment successively expressed their attitudes, and the officers of the Independent Regiment also began to express their attitudes.

Everyone has no objection to Sun Weiguo's plan to stay in Pingding County, they think this is a matter of course, the duty of the soldiers is to defend the land and protect the people, and the troops of the new second brigade stay in Pingding County, this is their duty, whether it is to protect the people or defend the land to resist the enemy, this is what the soldiers should do.

The officers of the three regiments of the new 2nd Brigade all unified their opinions on staying in Pingding County, and Sun Weiguo's words made the officers' blood boil, they felt that what Sun Weiguo said was reasonable, and they also believed that what the Japanese could do, they could still do.

The officers unified the decision to stay in Pingding County, and the content of the next meeting was naturally the content of the operation.

Originally, according to Sun Weiguo's plan, the troops adopted the tactics of in-depth elastic defense, using the fortified positions built by the New Second Brigade to defend and resist the Japanese troops layer by layer, and at the same time deployed the troops of the 6th Cavalry Regiment in the depth to take an offensive to attack the Japanese troops who entered the deep position.

However, now the troops of the New Second Brigade have been joined by independent regiments, and the Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Military Region has replenished the troops that the New Second Brigade had previously lost in Xiyang County, and the number of troops of the New Second Brigade has now exceeded 8,000, which is almost the strength of a division of many regular troops.

With abundant capital, Sun Weiguo naturally would not continue to adopt the previous combat plan, which would be a passive defense, and the combat of the troops would be restricted.

Yin Jinshan's opinions coincided with Sun Weiguo's original idea, and with the addition of independent regiment troops, Sun Weiguo decided not to defend passively.

"At present, according to the reports of the reconnaissance battalion and the intelligence section, our staff office has analyzed that there are signs of a large number of Japanese troops gathering in the five county towns of Yuci County, Xiyang County, Yangqu County, Jingcheng County, and Zanhuang County, that is to say, once the Japanese troops take action, they will start from these five county towns and march together to launch an attack on the troops of our new 2nd Brigade in Pingding County. The plan developed by the Operations Section is to adopt the tactics of external depth and elastic defense, and now that the independent regiment is in force, I believe we will have a better chance of victory. ”

Qin Xianliang, the chief of the staff office, stood up, he came to the map, he pointed to the Japanese troops marked on the map, and he said in a calm tone.

Qin Xianliang explained the operational plan of the General Staff Office, and this plan of the General Staff Office basically added the troops of the independent regiment to the previous defense strategy, so that the overall defense of the troops became tighter and played a greater role in the Japanese army's diversion and warfare.

The general staff's operational plan is in a decent manner, and with the current strength of the New Second Brigade, if such an operational plan is adopted, even if it cannot hold Pingding County, the casualties of the Japanese troops will certainly be very large, and if the troops of the New Second Brigade are completely annihilated, the Japanese attacking troops will certainly suffer heavy casualties.

However, this battle plan is only to seek stability, and if you want to defeat the Japanese troops, the probability of this is not very large.

Those who fight, with the right fit, with the odd victory.

If you want to win in battle, you must rely on surprise soldiers, and you must start in unexpected aspects of the enemy.

The Japanese troops often send roundabout troops to find the weak points of the Chinese troops, and the roundabout troops are strengthened with heavy weapons and quickly break through the weak points of the Chinese troops, thus causing confusion among the Chinese troops and directly achieving victory.

The more troops are insufficient, the surprise soldier will often become the key to victory.

Judging from the current situation of the New Second Brigade, if they are to garrison Pingding County in a decent manner, it will be difficult for them to win.

If the troops of the New Second Brigade want to win, they must deploy surprise troops and strike from unexpected places of the Japanese army, so as to disrupt the deployment of the Japanese army and achieve combat victory.

The means of warfare are constantly changing, from primitive cold weapons to current thermal weapons, but the tactics of warfare have never changed.

Sun Weiguo silently recited the old ancestor Sun Wu's Yizheng and Qisheng in his mouth, and he looked at the map with a contemplative expression on his face.

"Zanhuang County is a cavalry brigade of the Japanese army." Sun Weiguo pointed to the location of Zanhuang County on the map, and asked in a solemn tone.

"Yes, there is currently a brigade of Japanese cavalry that has been assembled in Zanhuang County." Wang Kunyao, the head of the Intelligence Section, immediately replied.

"It's him, Yin Jinshan, Ge Haifeng, you don't have to pay attention to the battle in Pingding County, the engineer company directly under the brigade headquarters, the guard battalion, the second artillery battalion, I will draw four 100MM howitzers from the first artillery battalion to strengthen the sixth cavalry regiment for you, do you dare to go to Zanhuang County to fight with the Japanese cavalry brigade. Don't be in a hurry to answer me, you have to think clearly, the Japanese cavalry brigade is a reinforced artillery, infantry, armored and other mixed arms combat brigade, you have to deal with not only the Japanese cavalry, but also you go to Zanhuang County to fight, if you can't achieve some results, this is not okay. ”

Sun Weiguo looked at Yin Jinshan and Ge Haifeng, and he said in a solemn tone.

was named by Sun Weiguo, Yin Jinshan, the head of the Sixth Cavalry Regiment, and Ge Haifeng, the deputy head of the regiment, immediately stood up from their chairs.

The two of them glanced at each other, and their eyes looked at Sun Weiguo again.

The intelligence section has made a very detailed understanding of the Japanese cavalry brigade, the Japanese cavalry brigade has many auxiliary arms, this is a multi-arm mixed brigade, although the tank is the nemesis of the cavalry, but the Japanese cavalry brigade is reinforced with an artillery wing, as well as rapid-fire artillery squadrons and other units.

It was very difficult for the troops of the 6th Cavalry Regiment to deal with a cavalry brigade of the Japanese army.

"Brigade commander, when you go to Zanhuang County to fight, there is no certainty that you will successfully complete the task, but Chengren is confident." Ge Haifeng was the first to speak.

"Brigade commander, what the deputy regiment commander said is what I want to say, but please rest assured, brigade commander, even if we all sacrifice, the little devil will not want to bargain."

After Yin Jinshan finished speaking with Ge Haifeng, he immediately said.

"I am relieved to have your words, but you remember, I only allow you to succeed, not to become benevolent, the new second brigade knows that the weapons and equipment of the Sixth Cavalry Regiment are treasures, and the personnel are also treasures, I want you to complete the task excellently and come back safely. Now the Sixth Cavalry Regiment has cavalry battalions and armored battalions, and in the future I will form armored regiments, cavalry battalions, and even armored brigades and cavalry brigades for you. ”

Sun Weiguo looked at Yin Jinshan and Ge Haifeng, and he said in a solemn tone.

"Yes, Brigadier." Yin Jinshan and Ge Haifeng saluted Sun Weiguo, and they replied with serious expressions.

The Sixth Cavalry Regiment went to Zanhuang County to fight, and Sun Weiguo's decision surprised the officers.
