Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Chapter 585 Eighth Route Army's Anti-sweeping Plan

Guocun.

The 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army.

With the end of the Battle of Zaoyi, the Japanese army could transfer the troops from the south back to the north, and the Eighth Route Army immediately sensed the danger.

Taking advantage of the emptiness of the Japanese army in North China, they launched the Hundred Regiments Campaign, which caused unprecedented losses to the Japanese army in North China.

Now that the Japanese army in North China has come to their senses, they will definitely retaliate wildly against the Eighth Route Army.

The division commander immediately held a military meeting of commanders above the regiment level at the division headquarters.

Division War Room.

The teacher looked around, then retracted his gaze and said, "I believe you must be curious about the reason why I called you here?"

Before everyone could speak, the division commander went on to say: "Now, the Zaoyi battle in the south has ended, which means that the Japanese army in North China can bring back the troops that were transferred to the south."

"A month ago, we launched the Hundred Regiments Campaign and achieved considerable results.

At that time, due to the lack of Japanese troops in North China, it was impossible to retaliate immediately.

Now, they can finally free their hands, and they will definitely retaliate wildly against our army! "

"In particular, our army exposed its full strength in the Hundred Regiments War. The Japanese army will definitely mobilize heavy troops this time and launch a sweeping raid on our Taihang and Taiyue base areas!"

"If there is no accident, the Japanese army will invest at least two divisions this time, with more than 5 troops."

Two divisions, more than 5 troops?
Rao Yiyi Li Yunlong's character of not being afraid of the sky and the earth, this time also felt unprecedented pressure.

After a pause, the teacher went on to say: "So, I called you here to brainstorm and formulate an anti-sweeping operation plan!"

In fact, the division has already formulated a set of combat plans.

What the division commander meant was that everyone should take a look at it and revise and improve the division's combat plan.

At that moment, the division chief of staff gave a detailed account of the combat plan formulated by their staff.

The combat plan formulated by the staff department is to break up the whole into parts and break through the encirclement in a dispersed manner.

This is the consistent policy that the Eighth Route Army said to implement when facing the raids by the devils. In the final analysis, the Eighth Route Army's strength is too weak to compete head-on with the Japanese army.

Although fragmentation and scattered breakouts will make the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army units weaker, even if they are blocked by a small group of Japanese troops, they will face great danger.

But this is also no way.

Because if the troops are concentrated to break through, the target will become bigger and easier to be discovered by the devils.

Once the breakout troops are bitten by the devil's main force, it is very likely that the entire army will be in danger of being wiped out.

If they broke through separately, some of them might be wiped out by the devil's blocking force, but at least part of the spark of hope could be preserved.

This is the same as not putting all eggs in one basket.

Although there is nothing new in the battle plan of the division staff, it still has the support of the vast majority of people.

For the same reason, in the face of the heavy mopping up of the devils, it is the consistent policy of the Eighth Route Army to break up the whole into parts and disperse the encirclement.

It was precisely by relying on a set of policies that the Eighth Route Army was able to save the day and keep the fire of hope.

Seeing that everyone agreed, although the teacher's face did not change in any way, there was a trace of disappointment in his heart.

Because he convened a military meeting above the head of the whole division this time, hoping to break the routine and formulate a different set of tactics.

However, although most people expressed support for this set of combat plans that were broken up into parts and scattered to break through, some people still raised objections.

Li Yunlong, head of the new regiment, is one of them.

After everyone's voice gradually subsided, Li Yunlong immediately made a different voice: "I object!"

As soon as the words were finished, everyone in the combat room focused their attention on Li Yunlong.

The teacher was calm on the surface, but he was interested in his heart and asked: "Li Yunlong, what do you mean?"

Li Yunlong: "I mean a head-to-head contest with the little devil. As the saying goes, the brave wins when we meet on a narrow road. We didn't have that strength before, but now we may not!"

The chief of staff said: "Li Yunlong, break up the whole into parts and develop in a decentralized manner, this is the consistent policy adopted by our Eighth Route Army when facing the Japanese raids.

It is precisely by relying on this strategic policy that our Eighth Route Army was able to save the day and keep the fire of hope when facing the raids of the devils. "

Li Yunlong: "We have kept the fire of hope, but every time we raid, we will lose at least half of our troops, weapons and equipment, as well as various supplies."

"If we break up into pieces and disperse to break through, we can only hide around like mice, and even if we face the resistance of a small army of devils, we will hardly have the strength to resist.

But if we concentrate our forces, we may not have the strength to fight.

Don't forget, this is the Taihang Mountains, which is our home field, and neither the devil's armored troops nor aviation troops can play a big role. "

Chief of Staff: "The problem is, even if fighting in mountainous terrain, the Japanese armored forces and aviation forces will not play a big role, and we may not be the opponents of the Japanese army.

We must know that the overall strength of the devils is far above ours, and the troops they have invested this time will also be unprecedentedly large.

Our concentration of troops may mean that we have a certain combat effectiveness, but this also means that the target is bigger and easier to be discovered by devils.

Once we are entangled by the devil's main force and unable to escape, we may be in a catastrophe! "

Li Yunlong was at a loss for words for a moment, he was an opportunist, and when faced with crises and difficulties, he could also explode with unprecedented willpower and fighting power.

But formulating battle plans, especially such huge battle plans, is obviously not his specialty.

Dang even turned his head to look at Wang Chengzhu who was at the side: "Zhuzi, tell me!"

Several long black lines suddenly appeared on Wang Chengzhu's forehead.

The rest of the people also turned their attention to Wang Chengzhu, because he didn't seem to have spoken just now.

The teacher also said, "Zhuzi, what do you mean?"

Wang Chengzhu: "Master, my opinion is the same as that of the old commander, that is to concentrate our forces and fight head-on with the devils."

"Because if the troops are divided, it means that we have given up fighting the devils and lost the ability to compete with the devils. Even if we encounter only a small army of devils, we can only run away."

"But if we concentrate our forces, with the current combat power of our 129th Division, we will definitely be able to break through the devil's blockade, and even severely injure the devil!"

The chief of staff said: "Zhuzi, are you sure you can break through the devil's blockade? You know, the decision we make next will affect the fate of the entire 129th Division. There must be no accidents!"

"If we concentrate our forces to break through the encirclement, if we can't break through the devil's blockade in a short time, and wait for other devils to encircle us, we will face annihilation!"
