Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 53 Emergency Operations Meeting

In the conference room of the brigade headquarters, the smoke filled the air, and everyone present had serious expressions on their faces.

"Zhou Weihan, please tell me the specific situation." The boss said first after seeing all the people arrived.

Zhou Weihan stood in front of the map without much ink and said, "Everyone, according to the information I got, this time the Japanese army launched a three-pronged attack, namely the 2th Division of the Shanxi First Army marching eastward along the Tongpu Line. One, about the strength of a field regiment, the independent third mixed brigade marched southward along the Zhengtai line, and the independent fourth brigade marched westward along the Pinghan line, with a total of less than [-] people.”

"The [-]th and [-]th divisions stationed in western Shanxi waited for an opportunity to attack the Jinsui Army in the World War II zone."

"The little devil's raid this time is very clear. He didn't bring a puppet army. The logistics will be supplied locally. He will not divide his troops on a large scale. He will concentrate his main forces and target the vital points in a short period of time. The orders he received from his ministries are to seek the main force of our army and wait for the opportunity to inflict heavy damage. Our army." Zhou Weihan said.

"The Japanese Independent Fourth Brigade disembarked from Yongping on the Ping-Han line, and attacked the base area from the rear bases of Wuyi and Wu'an. It had five independent infantry brigades, including a mountain artillery squadron, two field artillery squadrons, a cavalry squadron, and a cavalry squadron. There are engineers and supplies, and the strength is about 5. The specific detailed firepower must be clear to everyone, so I won’t go into details.”

"The 386th, [-]th, and [-]th Brigades of the little devils are the Sakata United Squadrons, plus a mountain artillery squadron, a field artillery squadron, and a cavalry squadron. The Fifth Brigade and the rest, led by its brigade commander Kaoru Kawamura, marched towards the Sixth Division on the northeast side of Wuyi, intending to wipe out the Nine Columns in one fell swoop."

"The little devil defenders in Wuyi and Wu'an will not participate in the mopping up, but will be responsible for guarding the exit to prevent our troops from moving out, and at the same time prevent the various units of our Eighth Route Army in southern Hebei from returning to support bases."

"Damn, the little devil is aggressive." Li Yunlong interrupted.

Although Li Yunlong usually clamored for a battle with Bantian United, the strength of the little devils was not muddled, especially the independent mixed brigade was stronger than the 108th Division to which Terauchi Yong belonged.

As the so-called first-rate field divisions, second-rate independent mixed brigades, and third-rate security divisions.It is worth mentioning that the 108th Division was expanded from the mixed brigade.

"The above is all I know. My insider in the Japanese army only knows the specific deployment of the Independent Fourth Mixed Brigade."

"Old Zhou, your insider is not Wuyi's little devil, right?" Or Li Yunlong's head turned quickly, and Zhou Weihan brought it up first after speaking.

"Damn it, Li Yunlong, is this something you should take care of?" The brigade commander was on fire, and immediately scolded Li Yunlong.

In normal times, Li Yunlong would dare to talk to the brigade commander, but at this time the boss was still sitting aside, so he didn't dare to speak back.

"Chen Geng, what do you think of this raid?" the boss asked.

"Boss, what you said was correct. The little devil really made a surprise attack on us. This time, he came prepared. If there is trouble, he has already known the locations of the various departments of our Eighth Route Army in advance, just like Zhou Weihan said. Directly point at the main force of our army, in anticipation of a swift decisive battle."

"I suggest that the government agencies, division headquarters, headquarters, and corresponding logistics agencies in the counties of the Eighth Route Army quickly move to the surrounding mountains, so that our troops can free up their hands to wrestle with the little devil."

"The little devil wants a quick battle, but I don't like him. Let's take him around to lengthen his battle line, wait for an opportunity to induce him to divide his troops, and then concentrate the main force to destroy one of them. At the same time, we will send the main force to cooperate with the local armed forces. Harassing its supply line, exhausting the enemy." Said the brigade commander.

"You're right. The dozen or so counties we occupy in our base area can be completely given up. We'll regain them after the little devil is gone." The boss agreed.

"Don't fight head-to-head in the early stage. The little devil can't afford it. The battle in the fifth theater will start at any time. Remember that it is better to cut off one finger than to hurt his ten fingers."

"Okay, seeing you say that, I'm relieved, I have to hurry back to the headquarters for specific deployment, the chief of staff is still waiting for me," the boss said anxiously
"Boss, let me let the 772 regiment go back with you. The defense strength of the headquarters and division headquarters is a bit weak after all." The brigade commander suggested.

"Is it just a display for you to be the guard group of the headquarters and the special task force of the division? Besides, as long as you block the enemy's attack, what will happen to us?" The boss directly refused.

After the boss left, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became lively, and the group leaders who were as honest as quail just now clamored to be the main force.

Everyone heard the brigade commander's plan just now. Some were ambushing, some were used as bait to force the little devils to divide their troops, and some were harassing the enemy's supply line in the rear. This may involve the question of whether to eat meat or drink soup.

If the ambush is successful, there will be meat to eat. If the bait is not well grasped, you may be entangled by the little devil. Hit your ass.

Not to mention those who harass the little devil's logistics line, the little devil must take strict precautions.

"Shut up the fuck, I'm still the brigade commander of the 386 brigade, when will it be your turn to decide the combat operations?" The brigade commander slapped the table and said.

"Brigade Commander, I'm afraid it's not easy to reorganize the Sixth Division and the Ninth Column. The new second regiment has just left the Sixth Division. The Ninth Column is full of two regiments. I'm afraid it can't cope with the strength of the two independent brigades of the Japanese army." Political commissar Wang on the side was worried. Said.

"Political commissar, what you said is not unreasonable, so the 18th regiment is sent to support Lao Li's sixth division for coordinated operations." The brigade commander said.

"Staff Wang, send a report to Commander Li of the Sixth Division. The brigade will send the 18th Regiment to the Sixth Division to coordinate operations. Your mission is to hold back the mopping up Japanese troops and prevent them from reinforcing the Sakata Wing. The specific combat plan is up to your department to decide." The brigade commander said to the combat staff officer.

Since the sixth district was far away from the base area and separated from the little devil's defense area, Commander Li did not attend the meeting in the future. The brigade commander only received Zhou Weihan's news and sent him an urgent telegram.

"Qian Youyi, do you have any objections?"

Qian Youyi, the head of the 18th Regiment, quickly said: "All the commanders and fighters of the 18th Regiment obey the orders of the brigade headquarters. Please rest assured that the brigade commander and political commissar will complete the task."

"Okay, hurry up and make arrangements, and move towards the sixth division immediately."

After saying "yes", the head of the 18th regiment Qian left.

The remaining group leaders sat upright, and no one dared to speak.

Cheng Xiazi of the 772nd Regiment, Li Yunlong of the New First Regiment, Kong Jie of the Independent Regiment, Ni Hongmin of the 16th Regiment, Wei Huajian of the 17th Regiment, plus Zhou Weihan and the military chiefs of the troops directly under the brigade, none of them dared to show their grandeur.

"Hehe, didn't you just fight for the main force, why didn't you talk now?" The brigade commander looked at the scene and smiled.

"Brigade Commander, look at what you said, you've already slammed the table, how dare we speak?" Li Yunlong looked around and found that everyone was afraid to speak, so he took the lead in speaking.

"So, it's because I acted arbitrarily and scared you so much that you dare not speak freely?" The brigade commander glared at Li Yunlong and said.

"No, Brigadier, that's not what we mean, don't get me wrong." Li Yunlong was afraid of angering the Brigadier, so he arranged a soup task for him at that time
　At this time in history, the 771 regiment has been assigned to other units of the 129th division, and later reorganized into the new fourth brigade of the 129th division
　　The mixed brigade of the Japanese army did not have the establishment of a unit, and the Sakata unit was purely added by Sanshui himself.
