Chapter 1293 Huang Yu: Better sooner rather than later

Umezu Umejiro subconsciously wanted to veto Okamura Neji's proposal, but he swallowed the words as soon as they came to his lips.

During the Gu'an raid more than two months ago, the Kwantung Army's reinforcements sent south because they did not understand the Yizhong Eighth Route Army and were not familiar with their opponent's tactics, so they were caught off guard.

In the end, a reinforced division suffered heavy losses, losing more than 20,000 Kwantung Army elite and a large number of weapons and ammunition.

The same problem must not be repeated a second time.

Okamura Neiji's proposal will definitely allow the reinforcements going south to understand the Eighth Route Army and their tactics to the greatest extent possible.

Although I know that there is a lot of careful thinking hidden in Okamura Neiji, and even includes the purpose of using the Kwantung Army's southward reinforcements to help him eliminate the North China Eighth Route Army and reduce the combat pressure of the North China Front Army.

But the benefits this military operation brought to the southward reinforcements were also very intuitive.

After thinking for a long time, in order to let the reinforcements going south know their opponents better, Umezu Umejiro decided to suppress the rising anger in his heart and temporarily agreed to Okamura Neji's condition.

When the reinforcements of the Kwantung Army go south to kill the Eighth Route Army in the wing and end the reinforcement mission, they will then go to trouble Neji Okamura.

I had no choice but to give the order: "Give the reinforcements going south an order..."

"Besieging the Eighth Route Army base division in Yizhong, the three main divisions that have entered North China are temporarily at the disposal of Okamura Neiji... But the troops must control their casualties when performing military missions in North China."

"Their purpose of going south to reinforce North China is to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army's base area in the wing, not to attack other Eighth Route Army forces."

"You must not stop eating because of choking..."

After giving the order, Umezu Umejiro couldn't help but cursed when he saw that the chief of staff was standing aside and didn't act immediately, "Why are you still standing here?"

"Let the troops who went into the mountains to search for the Eighth Route Army return to their bases immediately, take precautions against the cold, and then go into the mountains to search for the Eighth Route Army and eliminate them."

…………

The little devils along the railway line were like crazy, searching for the Eighth Route Army everywhere.

The culprit of the sneak attack on the railway was hiding in the Qinglong Mountain area hundreds of kilometers away to train troops.

When Huang Yu served as the commander of the Special Forces Regiment in the Yizhong Base Area, Wei Dayong was the commander of the Special Regiment's Rapid Reaction Battalion...

After the northward detachment was established, Wei Dayong was also selected by Huang Yu to serve as the chief of staff of the first regiment and commander of the first battalion.

Just after the day's training, Wei Dayong rubbed his hands and rushed to the headquarters to report the situation...

"Commander, regiment commander... We train in the mountains every day, eating white flour buns and pork every other day. Almost a month has passed and we haven't fought a single battle. My hands are itching..."

"How about we do the same as last time and go to the railway line to get some benefits..."

"In case the Kwantung Army strengthens its vigilance and cannot capture the strongholds they are holding, it would be fine to capture a few settlement points..."

"Not only have we captured a lot, but we can also recruit some new soldiers, killing two birds with one stone..."

Huang Yu did not answer, but frowned and asked, "Have all the recruits I given you been trained?"

Wei Dayong quickly shook his head: "We have brought back almost all the absentees... Most of the absentees were soldiers before and were sent to the mines to dig coal after being captured by the Japanese. They are just in poor health."

"Replenish their bodies and conduct some targeted training. They will soon regain their combat effectiveness and integrate into the army."

"The only rare thing is that those recruits who have not undergone any training will take at least two months to become combat effective." After hearing this, Huang Yu cursed angrily: "Why is Nani still standing here...waiting for me and the commander? Do you care about dinner?"

"Go back and tell the soldiers when the troops will complete their training, when they will become combat effective, and when I will send them to the battlefield."

"We are fighting alone in the Northeast without any foreign aid. Our opponent is still the Kwantung Army, the most elite of the little devils. Any accident may bring a devastating blow to the army. We must be cautious and wait until every soldier has formed combat effectiveness. Go to the battlefield and fight the Japanese."

Wei Dayong wanted to fight for it again. After seeing Huang Yu's intelligent eyes, he decisively swallowed back the words he had not yet said and turned around to leave the headquarters.

I secretly swore in my heart that when I returned to the station, I would fight to the death to train the new recruits in the team so that they could form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

Li Yunlong didn't speak the whole time.

To be honest, he was also very anxious.

In the last railway raid, as the commander, he had to sit at the headquarters and did not directly participate in the battle.

He has not really been on the battlefield since the army came out of seclusion.

For a thorough soldier, having him stay at the headquarters training troops and guarding the station every day is simply more uncomfortable than killing him.

After Wei Dayong left, he stared at Huang Yu and asked: "I heard that the Kwantung Army almost searched the mountains and forests along the railway, but they still couldn't find any clues about us."

"I estimate that the Kwantung Army that entered the mountains in a few days will withdraw because they have found nothing..."

"When fighting in the mountains in icy and snowy conditions, and camping out in the mountains for several days in a row, no matter how much preparation you make against the cold, there will still be non-combat attrition."

"No matter how aggrieved Umezu Umejiro felt, in order to prevent the Kwantung Army from losing his wife and losing troops, he could only issue a withdrawal order."

"In my opinion..."

"As soon as the Kwantung Army withdraws, our opportunity will come."

"The troops will still act independently in company units, withdraw as soon as they hit, and maybe blow up another section before the Kwantung Army repairs the railway, further delaying the Kwantung Army's move south and giving Kong Erluzi more time to expand its military and prepare for war."

"Sooner rather than later..." Huang Yu suddenly said.

His original idea was that the northward detachment would not conduct any military operations in the next one or two months and would hide in the mountains to train the troops.

But what Li Yunlong said makes sense.

When the Japanese army retreats to their respective positions, the mountains along the railway will become the domain of the Eighth Route Army again. They can seize the opportunity to bomb a few more sections of the railway, completely cutting off the Kwantung Army's southward railway line, and keeping them trapped in the Northeast all winter with no chance. Go south.

Seeing Li Yunlong suddenly frown, Huang Yu immediately expressed his thoughts.

"Commander..."

"The Kwantung Army has been searching the mountains along the railway for half a month. There are a large number of non-combat casualties every day. The troops must be very tired and their morale is still very low..."

"If we send out a few elite small troops to launch attacks along the railway far away from the station, fight guerrillas with the Japs in the mountains, and make the situation more chaotic, the Kwantung Army will definitely not be able to find out where we are really stationed, and will have to Continue to search for us in the mountains despite the wind and snow. "

"Our troops take turns to attack. If we are lucky enough, we may be able to defeat one or two Kwantung Army troops entering the mountains, and take the opportunity to consume the Kwantung Army forces in Liaoning and create conditions for our next large-scale attack."
