Sword of Death Camp

Chapter 185 Pre-War Meeting
Chen Shanhe thought about it for a long time with the telegram, and at the end he could only sigh, the words head of the headquarters belong to the broad and profound category.

Let the other party quit?

Thinking carefully, Chen Shanhe felt that the next military operation might be used as the difficult topic in the process of retreating despite the difficulties.

When he found Zhao Gang, Zhao Gang was arranging for the guards to get a quilt for Lin Huaisheng, and arranged for him a house as a dormitory. Lin Huaisheng was taken by the guards to the logistics office to get the quilt.

"What did the head of the headquarters say?"

They have been working together for such a long time, Zhao Gang must know that Chen Shanhe sent people to his side, and he must ask the head of the headquarters for his opinion on how to deal with it.

At this moment, since he came to look for him, he must have received the approval from the head of the headquarters.

Sure enough, Chen Shanhe handed over a telegram.

"It's probably a little difficult to retreat in spite of the difficulties!
I just found out that this Lin Huaisheng is a student of the 8th batch of Whampoa, and he also studied in Europe like you, but you are studying medicine, and he is studying armored group warfare.

It's not a wine bag!

The difficulty of retreating despite the difficulties is a bit difficult! "

Chen Shanhe pondered: "The political commissar's order is for us to send troops to take down the countryside in Panlong Town.

Originally, I thought to myself, forget about occupying the countryside, after all, there is a railway in the town center. For the devils, once the town center is moved and the devil's railway line is broken, it is estimated that they will really die!
Moreover, Panlong Town is different from other places. In other places, a town can have at most one squadron, or even a small team.

But Panlong Town is a big town, and it is responsible for the safety of this section of the railway, and because it is adjacent to our base area, the Japanese army is too tense, so three squadrons have been deployed in Panlong Town alone, plus a regiment puppet army.

Although most of the puppet troops of this regiment are distributed in the seven strongholds below, they should not be underestimated.

In the past, I probably didn't want to touch the town center before swallowing the countryside because of my scruples, but now, I want to touch it! "

hiss……

Zhao Gang stood up abruptly: "You want to lead troops to storm the center of the town where three squadrons of Japanese troops and half a regiment of puppet troops are stationed?
No, I don't agree!
It is not advisable to attack rashly!
Our Second Independent Regiment, although half of the common people in the base area formed a militia to support it.

But their military literacy can only be used to garrison the base area. Our training for them focuses on using the base area's tunnels and mines to form a special tactic to make it difficult for the enemy to move and be beaten everywhere.

But without training these militiamen how to attack, if they are rashly transferred to the battlefield, they will be slaughtered against the Japanese and puppet troops with extremely high tactical literacy!

I admit that by dispatching a large number of militiamen to the battlefield for combat screening, elite soldiers can be selected.

Because there are many militias composed of only half of us peasants, but they cannot withstand such a battle to screen them!

Our foundation is weak!

Can't stand such a loss.

Once we lose too much and lose the support of the people, the people's trust in us will be greatly reduced.

Second, we have lost too many manpower, and our control over our existing base areas will be weakened, and it will be difficult for us to make a more powerful counterattack against the Japanese army when the Japanese army invades again.

So I disagree with storming the town center! "

Uh!
Chen Shanhe didn't expect that Zhao Gang had been in the Second Independent Regiment for so long, and he still had old ideas.

"No, Lao Zhao, you are still old thinking, have you seen when I fought with human lives?

Besides, I have so many machine guns and cannons, and I have tanks and cars.

Why do I have to use human lives to fill a town with more than 1000 people stationed in it?
Just my artillery battalion, pushed all the way, can wipe out more than 1000 Japanese and puppet troops!

Let alone more than 1000, even if there are more than 2000 devils, I can wipe them all out.

So don't worry, my big political commissar, this has no confidence in our old Chen's military command ability at all! "

Zhao Gang glanced at him: "Just blow it!"

But think about it, Chen Shanhe loves soldiers like his life, he can exchange bullets for lives, he will never go up to fight with bayonets; more capable people bully fewer, he will never let his subordinates go one-on-one; He will never give up this opportunity to kill devils with mines, even if it takes a little time, he will not be tough.

For such a person, if you let him fight with devils for a town center, this kind of thing is absolutely impossible to happen.

Thinking of this, Zhao Gang felt relieved.

"Okay! Then let's discuss the combat deployment!"

Chen Shanhe nodded, and then shouted from outside the door: "Guards, go and inform Deputy Head Sun, and go back to the regiment headquarters for a meeting.

By the way, let's also inform the new Lieutenant Colonel Lin. "

"Yes!"

"Correspondent, call the battalion commanders and go to the regiment headquarters for a meeting!"

"Yes!"

Now the wired communication of the Second Independent Regiment can directly contact each company.

It's just that four manual connection stations are needed, and each connection station is responsible for telephone access in an area.

For example, the current communication class is.

"Hey, this is the regiment headquarters, please pick up the artillery battalion for me!
Artillery battalion?

This is the regiment headquarters, and the regiment commander ordered that the battalion and company commanders quickly go to the regiment headquarters for a meeting! "

"The third battalion? This is the regiment headquarters..."

Sun Tiansheng didn't have to go to the base of Daliu Town anymore, but he went to inspect the training every day in person.

Chen Shanhe told him more than once that a deputy commander should not be so careful, but deputy commander Sun also has his reasons. If the training is more careful, the soldiers will have more chances of surviving when they go to the battlefield.

Chen Shanhe felt that what he said was right, so he let him go.

So when he was called back, he entered after Lin Huaisheng.

"Head, political commissar, what's the meeting?"

Before entering the house from a distance, Sun Tiansheng's voice came into the house.

As soon as I came in, I saw a stranger in the room, and he was wearing the military uniform of the Central Army. Although it was a bit old, it was still neat and straight.

"Oh, here comes the guest!"

Lin Huaisheng quickly stood up and saluted first.

"Hello, Deputy Head Sun, my humble Lin Huaisheng, under the orders of the chief of the WWII zone, I will serve as the deputy head of the Second Regiment of the Armored Fighting Vehicle Regiment directly under the Second Regiment. We will be colleagues in the future. Please take care of Deputy Head Sun!"

Sun Tiansheng was stunned for a moment before remembering to return the gift.

After returning the ceremony, he looked at Chen Shanhe. Chen Shanhe understood what he meant, and he was just asking what happened.

"Don't worry about anything else, let's have a meeting today to discuss the next military action.

When fighting Panlong Town, the whole regiment and all the militia must leave one-third of the base to stay behind, otherwise the enemy will take advantage of it.

One-third of the troops stay behind, no matter who wants to take the opportunity to steal my back, the one-third of the troops left behind can hold back the enemy, waiting for the return reinforcements and the rescue of the surrounding friendly troops.

Therefore, the people who stay and guard the base area are very important.

I am definitely going to command military operations, and those who stay in the base area are either you or the political commissar.

talk about it!
You decide who stays! "

Deputy head Sun didn't even think about it, and said directly: "I have a better chance of staying behind, let the political commissar act with you!

After all, the vast rural areas that won Panlong Town need political cadres led by political commissars to do ideological work for the people.

Even if there are ten of them, I can't stand up to one political commissar! "

Chen Shanhe nodded: "Okay, that's it! The next step is the battle meeting!"

Next, Gong Ruomei from the Special Operations Battalion and Wang Jiudao from the Reconnaissance Battalion came in. Zhao Gang introduced them to Lin Huaisheng one by one.

The fact that there was a female battalion commander under the commander of the 2nd Regiment of the Armored Fighting Vehicle Regiment directly under the World War II District Commander's Department had already spread throughout the World War II District Chief's Department.

So Lin Huaisheng also knew, and took the initiative to salute.

"The name of the commander of the palace battalion who does not give way to men has been heard in the World War II zone commander's department. He and the regiment bombarded Neiji Okamura together. Even if I was waiting, I wish I could be there at that time."

Gong Ruomei just returned the salute, and said lightly: "Thank you!"

It was Wang Jiudao who took the initiative to salute Lin Huaisheng. Although he didn't know why he was sitting here, he was wearing the uniform of the Central Army.

"Hello, Chief Lin!"

Lin Huaisheng once again stated that he was the deputy commander of the second armored combat vehicle regiment, because when Zhao Gang introduced him, he only introduced him as Lieutenant Colonel Lin, so he had to reveal his position and position as the deputy commander when he got to know each other. identity.

This is a kind of persistence!

Then the next ones were the new battalion commander of the artillery battalion, the battalion commander of the tank battalion, and the battalion commanders of the 4 infantry battalions.

The strength of this group is astounding.

There are seven companies in the artillery battalion alone, three mortar companies, two infantry artillery companies, one mountain artillery company, and an artillery reconnaissance company.

In the Chariot Battalion, there is one battalion commander and two company commanders. The company commander of the chariot company is the battalion commander Chen Kai himself.

There is also a car company with four cars under his command, and one of them is an armored truck with armored iron plates welded by the devils.

The last logistics company that manages fuel and maintenance, the chariot battalion has the most people in charge of fuel and maintenance, because Chen Shanhe stole a lot of fuel.

It can be regarded as the company with the heaviest task now. They actually want to find and put together usable cars among the broken cars left by the 58th Division that they seized.

For them, this is a very difficult task.

Because it was self-taught, at the beginning Chen Shanhe led them to do it, and the rest was for them to figure it out on their own, because even Chen Shanhe didn't know much about it.

But dismantling and assembling parts, groping!
Anyway, the cars at this time are all accompanied by the car, with car repair tools.

Chen Shanhe told them that there are too many cars damaged by bombing here, and he told them to dismantle them boldly and assemble them boldly, as long as they can be installed well, it is good.

In fact, to be honest, cars are simple this year.

Moreover, with Chen Shanhe's permission, they were also courageous, so they took it apart to see where the car was blown up. If it was broken, see if there were any good ones in other cars. Can it work.

In fact, no matter what you do, it is better to do it by mouth than by hand. Even if you do it manually, you will remember that it was wrong, and you will be impressed.

But if you say not to do it 100 times, you will never know whether you are doing it right or not.

The attempt by the logistics company of the Chariot Battalion was still successful.

They successfully put together three usable cars, and after adding a car with welded armor plates fished out of the river, the entire car company had four running cars.

This is the spirit of the entire Second Independent Regiment.

Dare to think and do.

In order for them to learn to drive, Chen Shanhe has tried his best, including the result is good.

Next came the reconnaissance battalion, there were only three companies, and everyone looked very ordinary, but Lin Huaisheng found in their eyes the shrewdness that he tried to hide.

He estimated that even if each of the three companies in the reconnaissance battalion had a full staff of 110 or 140 people, the battalion would have to have 350 to 400 people.

A normal battalion should have the number of people.

However, compared with the artillery battalion and the chariot battalion, the reconnaissance battalion has a small number of people if it is only based on the number of people.

On the infantry battalion side, behind the first battalion commander, sat 6 company commanders.

There are 7 company commanders sitting behind the second battalion commander, and behind the third battalion commander, there are a little less, 5 company commanders, but the fourth battalion commander also has 7 company commanders.

Next to the battalion commander of the infantry, the company commander of the cavalry company sat alone, with a saber on his waist, and a sturdy face.

This tmd is a group?

Lin Huaisheng was a little dazed after estimating the strength of these men.

"Okay, everyone is here, let's start the meeting.

The reason why everyone was asked to come was because the division political commissar from the headquarters had issued an order for us to take Panlong Town.

In other words, we have to change our defense and take the initiative to attack.

Our most conservative goal is to take all the villages in Panlong Town, and firmly turn all these villages into our bases.

Further erode the devil's range of activities.

There are 67 villages in Panlong Town, and there are 7 large strongholds, not including the bunkers in the villages, and the gentry who have surrendered to the devils.

In addition, according to intelligence, the devils have three squadrons in Panlong Town, with half a regiment of puppet troops.

So, it's going to be a big fight.

For us!

This is the big war.

Because from the very beginning, from the time I took over the 36 members of the Tiger Cottage, to the Death Battalion, and now to the Second Independent Regiment.

We have been on the defensive.

We have been waiting for the enemy to attack, and we will fight back!

Because our equipment was inferior and the level of personnel training was not as good as that of the Japanese army, we could only rely on the terrain and mines to take an active defensive posture against the Japanese attack, so as to keep our base area and inflict heavy damage on the Japanese army.

Apart from the fact that I personally took the cavalry company to demolish the devils' settlements, our Second Independent Regiment never took the initiative to attack.

So we have almost no experience in active offense.

And the first time we took the initiative to attack, we had to face almost a brigade of devils, and half a regiment of puppet troops, as well as strongholds scattered in various villages, and Japanese voters.

7 large strongholds, probably not many devils, but at least half a regiment of puppet troops.

So this time we have to face a lot of enemies, and we don't have much advantage in the number of soldiers. In terms of weapons, we don't have more ammunition than the enemies.

Therefore, I decided to leave one-third of the troops to guard the base area, and all the others must be dispatched.

The lion fights the rabbit with all its strength, not to mention that what we are facing is not a rabbit, but a devil with extremely vicious fighting literacy!
Therefore, each battalion reports the number of people participating in the battle, asks the political commissar to record it, and assigns the direction of attack for each unit! "
