Chapter 782 Wait, Wait, Wait
Crackling... piles of flames burning outside Licheng.
With the flames, the bodies of Japanese devils were burned into ashes, then broken and put into a box, the names of the victims were written, and then sent back to the country.
However, there were too many dead Japanese devils, so many of them had plundered all the wood in Licheng, which was not enough...
The same situation is also true here in Dongyang Pass, and the Japanese in the 108th Division are also doing the same thing.
As the corpses were burning continuously, the Japanese soldiers' mood became weaker and weaker, and some soldiers even became in a state of trance. Even if they had marching pills, they could not improve the morale of the Japanese.
In fact, this problem was also easy to solve. Just massacre some ordinary people, harm some women, and let animal nature replace human nature, which can enhance the morale of the Japanese.
However, the people have evacuated and cannot be caught. Where is Shexian? There are not many people...
The two divisions of the Japanese suffered the largest battle losses since the Second Ninth Route Siege. The two divisions lost about 10,000 people in total. In addition, the injured were even more. Mei Jin prepared a total of more than 50,000 Japanese soldiers, and one-fifth of them were removed.
In addition to those who were killed before, such as the Japanese in the Fourth Mixed Brigade, Meijin's men could mobilize not much troops.
Therefore, the Japanese revenge was designated, but the troops were really tight.
First of all, the Handan Chang Highway, the northern section of Baijin Highway, and the Pingliao Highway that has been opened must be defended by people? At least one brigade must be placed in a county town, right? There must be some troops at the intersection of surrounding towns and major traffic roads, right?
Those places are both scattered and difficult to defend. If there are too many people, they occupy troops. If there are fewer people, they may be gone in one night.
There is also Licheng here. Can you feel at ease if you put a brigade? What if someone gets it again? It’s almost the same as having a brigade. What about Dongyang Pass? How many are appropriate to put it?
The Japanese wanted to create a lot of puppet troops to help guard these places, but at this time, Wang Jingwei had not yet come to power, and the puppet troops had not appeared on a large scale, and the Japanese had no choice.
Therefore, Mei Jin, who was far away in Taiyuan, has been very worried these days. He racked his brains to find a way to mobilize his troops, but he had no feelings to start.
Mobilize troops from northwest Shanxi? No, the Eighth Route Army there is a big mess! Also, the troops around Taiyuan cannot be mobilized, and the Luliang Mountain is not far from the west, where the Jinsui Army is eyeing it, and the Eighth Route Army is also very big messing around the north of Luliang Mountain.
It seems that it is not enough to mobilize troops from northern Hebei and central Hebei, because the Eighth Route Army there is also very noisy. Even the county towns on the central Hebei plain are now under the control of the Eighth Route Army, and our family only occupies a few county towns on the transportation line.
If you mobilize again, do you still need the transportation line? If you transfer the troops from the front foot, you will be able to occupy the back foot?
"Baga... Where did these Eighth Route Army members emerge from? And... the supply problem... so many troops have to eat and replenish ammunition! But the problem is that they can't grab food, they can only transport them from the rear, and they have to beware of robbery halfway..." Mei Jin had a headache.
In fact, the situation that Mei Jin is facing now is exactly the sixteen-character policy: if the enemy advances, we retreat, if the enemy stands, we disturb us, we will fight, if the enemy is tired, we will fight, if the enemy retreats, we will chase.
If you want to go more details, it is: the enemy advances and we retreat, the enemy garrisons and we disturb us, the enemy is tired, the enemy retreats and we chase, and the chance of victory is shown in guerrilla warfare; advance and retreat with great steps, lure the enemy into depth, concentrate troops, defeat each one, and annihilate the enemy in mobile warfare.
These are the magic weapons for our army to defeat the enemy! Whether it is the real person of Jindan or the old monster of Yuanying, or even a qi-training fish, you can use it!
So, Hu Yizhou and Lao Li also play like this, but Hu Yizhou just turned concentrated troops into concentrated firepower... Well, very fierce firepower!
The flames in Licheng and Dongyang Pass lasted for four days before burning the Japanese. Then, the urn was loaded into the car and rumbling to the side of Handan.
During these four days, the old Japanese devils of Meijin racked their brains, borrowed from all over the world, and mobilized some puppet troops from the rear to the traffic line, which finally ensured the temporary stability of the traffic line. As for the attacking troops, they still had to be transferred.
So, after waiting for several days, Hu Yizhou still did not wait for the Japanese attack...
Hu Yizhou, who was really impatient to wait, directly handed over the defense work at Erdaopo to Jiang Dajiang. He took Su Laoliu and the guards 1st and 2nd Company back to Jiuzhai. By the way, he sent out two reconnaissance platoons of the Special War Reconnaissance Company.
That's right, he took away the most elite infantry company, returned to Jiuzhai, and even the sniper platoon.
How to say, the fortifications in Songjiazhuang and Erdaopo cannot use so many people. Even if the Japanese divisions can be launched in Nanweiquan, they have to attack Erdaopo little by little. In the end, it is the tactics of both sides.
Now that the Japanese have been waiting for so many days, the Japanese have not come to attack, which means that the Japanese have really tight troops. Even if they can attack, they will not have too much troops. There is a third battalion, an artillery battalion, and a supplementary battalion. The original left-behind team and militia are enough.
Songjiazhuang Second Pagodao is just the southernmost end of the Jiuzhai defense node. You can give up and drag the Japanese to fight. In addition, the Second Battalion of Linjia Village can come to reinforce at any time, so Hu Yizhou doesn’t have to worry about the matter here.
Besides, he is not fighting alone. The Eighth Route Army on the periphery will not watch the Japanese arrogant and indifferent. If it really doesn't work, is there our old Li?
When he returned to Jiuzhai, Hu Yizhou first went to various villages, checked the preparations for the militia teams in each village, then went to the arsenal to check the production situation, and finally returned to his own small home.
Because of the training and combat relationship, the militias in each village performed very well. Even if the Japanese did not come, there were people stationed in various defense measures around the clock.
As for the arsenal, it is easy to manage such purely closed places and still operate normally. Especially now that the number of arsenals is more than half smaller, it is easier to manage.
After these days of battle, the security regiment consumed some ammunition, but it was still very sufficient. Hu Yizhou thought that it was time to replace the first battalion. Otherwise, there would be a lot of wasted in the warehouse of so many bullet piles, so it would be better to kill it and exchange for the life of the Japanese.
The war lasted for a month, and Hu Yizhou didn't go home at all. When he got home, the two children saw that he was a little unfamiliar with him.
Fortunately, the two babies were biological after all. After teasing for a while, they got familiar with each other and began to call them dad in a slight voice.
