Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 33 Joint Operational Intentions
"Old Li, what you said is indeed a problem, but I believe that Si Neiyong in Wuyi County will not let go of the big piece of fat in the Liubao stronghold for nothing."

"As long as the Liubao stronghold is in Si Neiyong's hands, everything will be easy." Zhou Weihan said confidently.

"Old Zhou, isn't this a disguised form of cooperating with devils? Will it violate discipline?" Zhao Gang said worriedly.

"What kind of violation of discipline is this? Everyone gets what they need. Aren't we trying to open up transportation channels?" Zhou Weihan said.

"That's right, you fight everywhere, just attack the Liubao stronghold. It must be very rich. Besides, how do we know that the Liubao stronghold will be occupied by Wuyi devils in the end? We can't blame us for this blame. ?” Li Yunlong said nonchalantly.

"However, the Liubao stronghold is also a tough nut to crack. Not only are there strong gun towers and blockhouses, but there are also well-built trenches outside." Zhou Weihan explained.

"So there is at least one squadron of devils stationed in Liubao stronghold?" Zhao Gang said.

"Not only that, the puppet army in the Liubao stronghold is not an ordinary puppet army, but the Wu'an County Guard. The combat effectiveness is not comparable to that of ordinary puppet troops." Zhou Weihan said.

The puppet army in North China at that time actually included two parts: the regular army with the North China Security Force as the main body, and the local puppet army with the provincial, provincial, and county guards as the main body.

On the surface, it seems that the "North China Security Army" as a regular army has strong combat effectiveness, but in fact, the county guards in the North China Puppet Army are not only large in number, but also the direct descendants of the little devils, the backbone of maintaining "law and order".

The little devil equips the garrison with Japanese advisors at all levels, and they directly command the garrison.The garrison is equipped with Japanese commanders at all levels and is completely commanded by devils.

Under the direct command and coercion of the Japanese military advisers, these people's combat enthusiasm was much higher. At least they turned a blind eye to the Eighth Route Army and obviously released water, which they dared not do.

Secondly, another reason why the equipment and morale of the guard team is higher than that of the North China Security Army is that most of their troops are uniformly equipped with the Jin-made [-]th cover or the official, and there are a lot of light machine guns and heavy machine guns, and some are even equipped with Mortar.

A small number of guards are even better. The weapons they use are supplemented by the additional spare guns of various departments of the Japanese army, that is, Japanese weapons and equipment.

The garrison teams in various places are directly controlled by the local Japanese troops, with unified organization and centralized training.
Not only the equipment of the guard team is supplied by the Japanese army, but also the food and salaries are paid on time every month, and there are very few defaults.

Therefore, the guard team is very tenacious in fighting, and they are also very active in every battle. Basically, everyone has a blood debt on them.

After hearing Zhou Weihan's words, Li Yunlong's and Zhao Gang's faces were a little heavy. They had seen the fighting power of the guard.

"Damn, even if my front teeth are broken, I still have to eat the devil's Liubao stronghold." Li Yunlong said with his eyes wide open.

"Captain Li, the strength of the Liubao stronghold should not be underestimated, and once we attack the Liubao stronghold, the little devil troops from Wu'an and Wuyi will definitely reinforce it. Isn't the strength of our two regiments a bit weak? Besides, our troops have always Lack of heavy weapons for attacking fortifications." Seeing that Li Yunlong was a bit superior, Zhao Gang persuaded him from the side.

"This battle is not easy to fight, so we have to make total calculations." Zhou Weihan said.

"Hey, let's not hide it anymore. During this period of time, our Xinyi regiment has done a lot of side jobs and made a small fortune. One 60-type infantry gun, two 2000-caliber mortars, and light and heavy machine guns. Needless to say, the whole regiment has three main battalions, plus a guard company and an artillery platoon, there are not many people, only [-] people are still there, and that's not counting the local armed forces." Li Yunlong glanced at Zhou Weihan and said richly.

Zhou Weihan ignored Li Yunlong, and continued: "Although the little devils in Wu'an and Wuyi counties each stationed a regiment, their combat effectiveness can only be regarded as third-rate, which is far behind the serious field divisions of devils, and they are not fully staffed. Wuyi's Si Nei Yong Lian only has more than [-] people."

"The little devil has built a lot of stronghold bunkers, and troops are stationed in every place, and the personnel are scattered. The mobile force in the county is only stationed in one squadron."

"The Liubao stronghold is at the junction of two counties. If all the little devils' troops gather for at least three or four hours, if there are few coming, we will eat them directly and open up the passage to the base in one fell swoop."

"That being said, I still feel that the risk of two regiments acting together is too great." Zhao Gang still looked worried.

"It's settled like this. There are more people, more wolves and less meat, so there is nothing to separate." Li Yunlong said.

"Hey, I think this time, the first battalion and the guard company of our new regiment will be the main attackers. The other troops will block the little devil reinforcements from Wu'an. Your new second regiment will be in charge of the little devil reinforcements from Wuyi." Li Yunlong said. The appearance of the commander-in-chief on the battlefield, those who didn't know thought he was the brigade commander.

"Huh, Li Yunlong, your abacus is clinking. Why do you eat meat for the first group, while our second group has to drink soup. You are not afraid of knocking your front teeth." Zhou Weihan saw through Li Yunlong at a glance. plan.

"Why, just because the New First Regiment is the main force of the [-]s, and your New Second Regiment is just a local regiment newly established in the Sixth Division of the Nine Columns. What are you fighting with me for?" Li Yunlong said brazenly.

"Old Zhou, don't worry, our old Li will not treat you badly. When the Liubao stronghold is seized, we will divide it into three or seven, seven for us, and three for you."

"Li Yunlong, you have a serious tone. When will it be your turn to command me? Your new first regiment is strong, and my new second regiment is not made of mud."

Zhao Gang looked at the two who were still discussing tactics together just now, and at this moment they started arguing, somewhat helpless: "Okay, the matter hasn't been settled yet, you two just figure out how to divide up the captured weapons and equipment?"

"Besides, the use of two regiments requires the consent of the brigade headquarters."

"Li Yunlong, believe it or not, I suggested to the brigade commander to disqualify the Xinyi Regiment, let alone eat meat, you won't even be able to drink soup." Zhou Weihan said.

"Don't, old Zhou, my good brother, brother is wrong, what do you say?" Hearing the name of the brigade commander, Li Yunlong was caught by Zhou Weihan's weakness, and he immediately gave in.

"The two regiments will send out a battalion each to attack the Liubao stronghold. Let's not fight or rob anyone. We will split it fifty-fifty."

"Okay, you can do whatever you say, I will listen to you for this action." Li Yunlong was like a wronged little daughter-in-law.

"Is that right? I will send someone to investigate the specific strength and weaponry of Liubao stronghold, and I will contact you when the time comes." Zhou Weihan said.

The new regiment is stationed at the entrance of the village.

"Old Zhou, go slowly, I'll wait for your good news," Li Yunlong said with a smile.

Zhou Weihan and his party headed towards the new second regiment's camp. On the way, Zhao Gang hesitated for a long time and said, "Old Zhou, are you really sure about this operation?"

"Old Zhao, you don't know the situation of our new second regiment, but you will know when it arrives." Zhou Weihan said to Zhao Gang mysteriously.

"I'm not bragging. The weapons and equipment of the new 2000st regiment are far behind our new [-]nd regiment. The new [-]nd regiment has more than [-] people. During this period of time, they have been fighting for training, and their combat effectiveness is pretty good." Zhou Weihan said very confidently.

After all, under the blessing of Zhou Weihan's troop training characteristics, the combat effectiveness of each battalion in the new second regiment has been visible to the naked eye for more than a month.
