Chapter 959, want to step in
Hu Yizhou's cooperation was naturally the principal's family and the Japanese family. Liu Gan also understood Hu Yizhou's meaning.
In a sense, Hu Yizhou is right. The principal's family and the Japanese have indeed formed a strategic cooperation with me. Moreover, they have a very tacit understanding of each other. Even the cooperation between the principal's family is tacit understanding.
For example, when the 97th Army attacked the Taihang Mountains, the Japanese did not move. When the Eighth Route Army pulled away the surrounding troops, the Japanese came. Then, they were confused by the Eighth Route Army's guerrilla warfare and even took a Sakata.
This is the same, because the battle against Shi Yousan in Magnetic Wu in March was not completed until the 11th. It will take time for the troops drawn by the Eighth Route Army to go back to Hezhong.
Therefore, the Japanese thought that now was an opportunity to get rid of the base in the Jizhong Plain in one fell swoop, so they came. Well, the Japanese don’t want to fight against the main force of the Eighth Route Army now. Especially with the base, the main force of the Eighth Route Army that can be supported by the people, the Japanese have to think about it.
Every sweep by the Japanese is actually very regular. This is true whether it is the time of attack or the route of attack.
For example, this time, Liu Gan told Hu Yizhou that the Japanese marched along the two railways, Pinghan Line and Jinpu Line, and then divided the sweeping area into four areas: Hebei, Tanghe, Zhulonghe, Ziya River Basin, and Cangshi.
Well, Baiyangdian is in this area.
As for how many troops were used, Liu Gan didn't say it, but no one knew. Generally speaking, there was no way to do this without 10,000 to 20,000 people. Of course, there are many puppet troops in the hands of the Japanese now, which also alleviated the pressure of the Japanese troops.
"Senior brother, since the superior has notified us, is my security regiment having military missions? To be honest, I haven't fought in the past six months, and I'm itchy!" Hu Yizhou said with a smile.
"The mission? There is really no! I'll give us a notification mainly to let us know the current form of enemy confrontation. The superiors are preparing to hold a meeting. As for the specific response measures, there will be a detailed notice after the meeting! However, all military subsidiaries in central Hebei are actively responding to this sweep."
"This time the Japanese still wanted to find our main force to have an annihilation battle, and even wanted to destroy our command. So, I heard that they were actively transferring the agency and transferred some of the main force to the mountainous areas for training."
"As for the remaining troops, they will be broken into pieces and will be dispersed and fought in battalions and companies. This time, we are not afraid of the Japanese. Moreover, the remaining troops have some radio equipment, so we can also concentrate our troops to annihilate the enemy at the right time." Liu Gan said.
"Is that right? Alas... it's not easy to stay a unit that insists on fighting, and there will be a lot of casualties!" Hu Yizhou said.
"Yes, our equipment is still not as good as the Japanese in quality as the quality of soldiers. This time we will suffer losses!" Liu Gan also agreed with Liu Gan's statement.
"Senior brother, what would happen if our regiment sent out two main battalions and penetrated directly from one end of the Japanese encirclement area to the other? Or we would do a large roundabout way and directly enter the war zone from the eastern part of the Hebei-central plain, and then fight all the way to the western mountainous area?" Hu Yizhou asked.
"What will happen? It will completely disrupt the situation in the Hebei Plain. Then the Japanese were happy and worried that they could not find you, so they didn't say anything. Several divisions surrounded our two battalions and destroyed them directly!"
"Although we have strong combat power, the limitations of the battle are too great and rely too much on logistics! If you send the troops out, there is no sufficient and stable logistics supplement base. It is only a matter of time before being dragged to death by the Japanese! How much ammunition can you bring? This is not when you go to Wuhan, there will be a convoy to deliver it to you!" Liu Gan said angrily.
"Oh... well, there are bad things when weapons are advanced, and I can't directly obtain ammunition replenishment from the battlefield! But... forget it, let me think about it!" Hu Yizhou just mentioned it casually, knowing that this is not what happened.
"Okay, what I should say is finished. I have to go back and watch it. Don't take it to heart. Just do your arsenal well and be your principal! I will notify you as soon as possible if there is anything!" Liu Gan finished speaking and stood up and left.
Hu Yizhou, who was thinking about things in his mind, just waved his hand to say goodbye, and didn't get up to see him off.
What was Hu Yizhou thinking? Of course, he was trying to find a way to go down the mountain to get some help. But you can't be anxious about this matter, you have to calculate it. In addition, this group of artillery trainees have just started learning, so he has to finish the course.
Well, if it’s not a good thing, he won’t have the chance to go to the battlefield in person this time.
However, you can send your troops out for actual combat, which is considered as training. After all, the troops cannot stay away from war for a long time, even elite veterans cannot do it.
Besides, after the accumulation of the past few months, even if the bullet production line is not fully operational, a lot of power rifle bullets in the middle of the warehouse have been accumulated. It is time to consume some!
You talk about the 7.92 Mauser rifle bullet? Haha, except for leaving enough ammunition for the security regiment to fight for two weeks, the rest of the products have long been in the hands of the Eighth Route Army soldiers. Some of them have even been shot into the Japanese body, and the shells have been reinstalled several times.
The current security regiment has been reorganized in its organization, with two large and two small infantry battalions, one complete artillery battalion, two guard companies and one reconnaissance company, with a sufficient force of more than 2,000 people.
When breaking up the reorganization and supplementary battalion, Hu Yizhou added two 82 mortar artillery groups to each main battalion, from the original 6 to 8, with a number of people reaching 780. Such a main battalion has the infantry brigade that has completely abused the Japanese in artillery fire, and the infantry firepower is the same.
The only disadvantage is that it requires a large amount of logistics transportation capacity to ensure the continuous combat capability of the troops.
Compared with the main infantry battalion, the supplementary battalion and the first battalion had 670 personnel, and neither general heavy machine gun nor artillery fire could compare with the main battalion. The 82 was directly reduced by half.
Even the guns in the hands of the soldiers were not good, because only the chief and deputy squad leader and the assault team leader were AKM, the commandos were submachine guns, and the rest of the infantry used semi-automatic rifles.
However, such equipment is not a little stronger than the Japanese. After all, in addition to these, each infantry has a large black star pistol as a melee weapon, and the purpose is to consume the products of the pistol bullet production line.
In the office, Hu Yizhou looked at the map while holding a ruler to calculate the distance, and kept calculating with a small notebook.
