Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Leaving aside the plan of the headquarters, it is within the Southwest Military Division of Shandong Province.

The personnel of the army and the local government gathered together, and all the matters before dispatching troops have been fully prepared, and it is indeed time to dispatch troops.

In addition to the main force, more than 1500 local armed forces under the jurisdiction of the southwestern Shandong prefectural government, and ten work teams composed of local cadres totaling more than [-] people all assembled in Hanji Town.

There are also more than 3000 young and strong militiamen mobilized from various places on their way. Although the militia team temporarily lacks training and does not have weapons and equipment at hand, it is still possible to increase their momentum and transport supplies for the main force and transport materials to the rear. .

The battle was imminent, and everyone present looked eager to try. The previous defeat made the Lunan base from Li Yunlong and below all hold their breath in their hearts, and they couldn't vomit.

"Member, the brigade commander of the new third brigade has called. Its main force set off yesterday and has now secretly arrived in Juye!" Xin Tiebing reported.

"Okay, we are working together now. This time we must wipe out the main force of the Japanese army and open up the situation in Southwest Shandong at one stroke!" Zhou Weihan said loudly, "What's going on with the Japanese army?"

Hearing this, Luo Benzhong immediately said: "According to the report from the Enemy Engineering Department, the appeasement army in Shangqiu is also reorganizing troops. Sun Liangcheng should have gained military power, but the cavalry regiment has been active in the enemy-occupied area for a week. Although the cavalry regiment has gained a lot A small victory, but most of the opponents they fought against were the puppet army or local security forces, but the Japanese army has been shrinking back!"

"That's right, the comrades lurking in the enemy-occupied area also sent news that the Japanese army in the southwestern Shandong area may be afraid of our army's strength and have been avoiding fighting. If this continues to delay, I am afraid it will affect the autumn harvest!" Cong Hansen, the director, said worriedly that the autumn harvest is the top priority at the moment.

Zhou Weihan also had considerations in this regard, otherwise he would not have fought a decisive battle with the main force of the Japanese army, but the current situation was beyond Zhou Weihan's expectations.

At present, the cavalry regiment used as bait has been operating in the enemy-occupied area, but the Japanese army turned a blind eye to it, as stable as an old dog.

"The Japanese army is also anxious, but they also have concerns about launching a war with our army rashly. We have to think of a way to force the Japanese army to send troops. Otherwise, once Sun Liangcheng takes the appeasement army into his hands, it will be troublesome!" Zhou Weihan said.

The previous effect of Zhou Weihan inducing Sun Liangcheng to fight for power within the appeasement army has already taken effect, and the Southwest Military Division of Shandong has gained nearly a month of precious time to rest.

However, as the situation changed, Zhou Weihan and others also noticed that the Japanese army also needed time, and it was not even as fast as the Eighth Route Army in terms of integrating strength, otherwise the cavalry regiment would not be allowed to attack everywhere in the occupied area.

"I want to force the Japanese army to take action, but I have an idea!" Li Yunlong rolled his eyes, and the thought that had been hidden in his heart for a long time came to his mind again.

"How to say?"

"I think what we have to do right now is to cover up our true strength. At the same time, the New Third Brigade is now in Juye, and it only takes a day to get close to Heze. It's better to let the New Third Brigade launch a feint attack on Heze!" Li Yunlong said.

The people present, Cong Hansen is a member of the prefectural government and has no right to interfere with the military operations of the army. The people in the army are headed by Zhou Weihan and are waiting for Zhou Weihan's opinion. …

However, Zhou Weihan did not give a direct reply. He has never thought about using troops in Heze. Judging from the current information, Heze is located in the hinterland of Hebei, Shandong and Henan. Oil and water are really not a good choice.

Li Yunlong became impatient when he saw this, and said again: "If we use troops against Heze, the Japanese troops from Shangqiu will surely come to reinforce us. Or the Japanese reinforcements from the [-]st Division will have enough time for us to deal with the Japanese troops in Shangqiu, so let’s take a gamble!"

"Old Li, your bet is a bit high. Once the Heze strikes, let's not talk about what kind of situation the brother troops of the New Third Brigade will face. In case the Japanese army in Shangqiu continues to stand still for a short time, then we will have to face it. It is very likely that it could be the joint force of the three Japanese armies, have you thought about this possibility?" Luo Benzhong said.

"The most taboo thing about using soldiers is to look forward and backward, hesitate and hesitate. If you are 100% sure, who would be willing to gamble with the lives of soldiers?" Li Yunlong retorted.

"But it is also taboo to use troops recklessly, the commander must keep calm at all times!"

"Hey, how do you know I'm not calm?" Li Yunlong grinned instead, completely losing his anger just now, and then stood in front of the map: "Heze's geographical location determines that it is far less important than Shangqiu and Kaifeng along the railway line. Waiting for important towns is important, which is why the little devils garrison very few troops in Heze!"

"However, Heze is like a nail nailed into the hinterland. If we can take down the vast area around Heze, then the situation in our Southwest Military Division will be opened up at once. The northwest can go directly to the Southern Military Division, and the northeast can border the Luxi Military Region. , and at the same time, relying on Heze, we can develop towards the southeast with all our strength, and in the future, we will be connected with the base area in the west of the lake!"

"Whether it is in terms of strategic depth or connecting other bases, it is of great benefit. Advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended!" Li Yunlong said slowly.

Listening to Li Yunlong's speech, Zhou Weihan, who had been silent all this time, gradually came to his senses. Just now this guy suggested a feint attack on Heze, but now he was talking about his intention to take Heze down in one fell swoop.

Zhou Weihan couldn't help hey: "Have you been thinking about it for a long time?"

"Hey!" Li Yunlong was not embarrassed by Zhou Weihan's careful thinking, and directly admitted: "Before we didn't have enough troops, we could only fight in Dingtao and Cao counties, now!"

Zhou Weihan said: "You have a good idea, but Hebei, Shandong and Henan are not as good as Tainan. They don't have the Japanese army like Si Neiyong, nor the steadfast allies like the [-]th Army. They want to turn Heze into an iron wall like Changzhi and Pingshun." How difficult it is, but it is also true that the Japanese troops in the hinterland are weak!"

As Li Yunlong said, Zhou Weihan was also a little hesitant at this time, should he fight Heze?If Heze is to be fought, should it be taken together with Heze City or just occupy the surrounding towns.

According to Li Yunlong's development ideas, Heze is indeed a piece of fat in front of him. Once it is occupied and becomes the core of the base area, the population and war potential of the southwestern base area will increase greatly, but the Japanese army will be encircled and suppressed accordingly.

"I need to think about this matter, and I also need to ask the head of the headquarters for instructions!" Zhou Weihan said.

"It's okay, don't worry, don't rush!" Li Yunlong felt relieved when he saw Zhou Weihan relieved.
