Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 251 Arrangements Before the Battle
Seeing Li Yunlong's bluffing, Zhou Weihan glared and said, "What's the hurry, Li Yunlong, do you still have a commander?"

Seeing Zhou Weihan lose his temper, Li Yunlong sat down again and muttered, "If I hadn't always made mistakes, I would be a brigade commander now!"

"I can't listen to you, you can't put little shoes on our old Li's back!"

Everyone present smiled. Everyone has heard of Li Yunlong's glorious deeds. He was the commander of the Red Army during the Long March, and he went up and down from the position of commander.

"Come on, Lao Li, if you don't say anything else, you just said that when you were on the grassland, you ran into the army to grab food. It's good if you didn't shoot you. Don't you make too many mistakes? Do you still want to be the brigade commander?" Ding Wei, an old comrade-in-arms, began to pick Li Yunlong's background.

"Hey, old Ding, red mouth and white teeth, don't slander people, I paid you back then! Bragging is not a violation of discipline!" Li Yunlong became anxious when he heard what Ding Wei said.

"Okay, let's get back to the topic! We currently have tens of thousands of troops on hand, and the comparison with the Japanese army is 20:1. I have the advantage!" Zhou Weihan uttered the classic lines of the transportation captain at this time.

The reason for the 20:1 troop ratio is because Zhou Weihan didn't pay attention to the guards of the puppet army at all.

"The fight against Handan is secondary, and our Eighth Route Army will not be able to defend it! The main purpose is to take the opportunity to weaken the effective strength of the Japanese army." Zhou Weihan explained.

"A large-scale raid by our Eighth Route Army has indeed turned the little devil's ruled area upside down. According to the little devil's virtue, the next step must be to carry out a large-scale sweep of my base area. Since the result is already doomed, if If we can make the little devil do it harder, we can buy more time!" Ding Wei followed Zhou Weihan's words.

"So what we need to do now are three things, one is to consume the active force of the Japanese army, two is to store as much supplies as possible, and three is to expand the depth of the base!" Zhou Weihan said.

Everyone present nodded after listening.

"In the first step, Li Daben's garrison regiment is active in Wuyi and Wu'an, the first regiment of the new regiment is at the junction of Licheng and Shexian, and the first regiment of the 28th regiment is at the junction of Lucheng and Licheng. These three areas are the resident regiments. Where, once Handan City is launched, the little devils around will definitely be reinforcements!"

"Then let's not be impolite, let them let go of the Japanese troops who sent reinforcements, and after their strongholds are empty, they will pull out the Japanese strongholds around the base area one by one, and by the way, wipe out the traitors, bullies and tyrants in the Japanese-occupied area," Zhou Weihan said. The plan in my heart.

"In this way, not only will the depth of the base be expanded, but a large amount of money and food will also be accumulated!"

"Haha, this business is well done, no matter how you look at it, you won't lose money!" Li Yunlong regained his energy. The new regiment has left four battalions, and it is not easy to deal with some bullies and tyrants.

"The second step is the main attack. Who will play the main attack? Who will help?"

After Zhou Weihan finished speaking, the four heads of the independent detachment were fine and obeyed the arrangement without saying a word.

Li Yunlong grinned and said nothing. The Eighth Route Army pays attention to the equality of officers and soldiers, but the army has always been a place that pays attention to seniority.

In terms of seniority, Li Yunlong is deeper than the detachment leader Zhou Weihan, and Ding Wei and Xing Zhiguo are about the same as him.

This is also the reason why Li Yunlong and Ding Wei yelled at each other.

"Old Zhou, according to what I said earlier, it's not too difficult to fight against Handan. You can't send all six regiments here to watch!" Ding Wei said.

"After my 28th regiment was transferred to the 129th division, I didn't have a record of shooting. My 28th regiment will not participate in the battle against Handan City. Let's assign the task of fighting all the way!" Ding Wei said.

Zhou Weihan was in awe after hearing this, Ding Wei had a plan in his heart, but this plan was not selfish.

Within the Eighth Route Army, the troops responsible for the main attack are generally the main force regiment, and the main attack task also suffers the most casualties.

The defense forces in Handan City are empty, but there are a lot of materials stored, so there are not many good things like this.

As for the task of fighting for aid, at least one of the Japanese field brigades was facing, and the 28th regiment alone could not bear it.

"The 28th Regiment and the 35th Regiment were deployed in Cixian County, and first dealt with the Japanese troops who came to the south of Handan City and along the surrounding counties along the Ping-Han Railway, and then waited for an opportunity to ambush and dispatch the reinforcements of the Japanese [-]th Division!"

"The 35th Division of the Japanese Army is entrenched in Jincheng, Kaifeng, and Shangqiu. It is unlikely to be mobilized! A Japanese army from Kaifeng and Shangqiu is very likely to march westward along the Longhai Railway to reach Zheng County, then turn north, pass Xinxiang and Qi County along the Pinghan Road, and finally arrive in Anyang!"

"Fortunately, the Zhanghe Railway Bridge was blown up, and the Japanese army had to cross the river by boat. Ding Wei, your 28th regiment can start from this aspect!" Zhou Weihan analyzed.

"I understand, can you contact the brother troops of the independent guerrilla detachment on the Jilu side to hide or blow up the ships in advance!" Ding Wei suggested.

Zhou Weihan looked at Xing Zhiguo; "Chief of Staff, after the meeting, contact the brothers of the Independent Guerrilla Detachment to see if this method is feasible!"

Xing Zhiguo nodded in response.

"The Japanese army in the south has been settled, and the new regiment is in charge of the west. The new regiment is deployed in Wu'an. Like the 28th regiment, it first eliminates the small group of Japanese troops from the counties around the Hanchang Highway. Japanese army!"

"Yes!" Li Yunlong pretended to stand up and saluted.

"The third regiment is deployed on both sides of the road from HD to Feixiang to ambush the Japanese troops in the surrounding counties of southern Hebei!"

"The first regiment attacked the north and east gates, and the second regiment attacked the west gate, the railway station, and the south gate! The cavalry battalion acts as a reserve team, and the attack time is tomorrow at five o'clock in the daytime!" Zhou Weihan finally said.

"Don't you need to surround Sanqueyi?" Zhao Gang asked at this time.

"Wei San Que Yi, what if the little devils in HD City destroy the supplies before they break through? What I want is a quick one. I plan to take Handan City in two hours!" Zhou Weihan said decisively.

"In this way, if the Japanese reinforcements retreat, wouldn't it be impossible to weaken the Japanese army!" Zhao Gang continued to ask.

"Next step, the accompanying county brigade and militiamen put on military uniforms, pretending to be the main force and pointing directly at the execution platform. I can't help but come here! The main force turned around and surrounded and wiped out the reinforcements of the Japanese army!"

The people present were startled by Zhou Weihan's big hand, they were thinking about the execution platform before Handan was defeated.

"If they attack during the day, the Japanese planes will have to guard against it!" Xing Zhiguo said.

"There is no way around this. There will always be sacrifices. Haven't we all survived before, but from SJZ to Handan, no matter how fast the little devil reacts, there is still a two-hour siege time!" Li Yunlong said.

"Are there any questions?" Zhou Weihan asked.

Everyone said no.

"Okay, let's get ready!"
