Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 654 Combat on two fronts (third update!)
"Chief of Staff, are the devils still building gun towers these days?" Brigadier Chen asked while staring at the crude sand table in front of him.

"Under construction, there are more than a dozen blockhouses under construction today, and they haven't been marked on the sand table yet!" The chief of staff replied with a sullen face.

Seeing the densely packed blockhouses on the sand table, Brigadier Chen frowned involuntarily.

At a glance, the base area with the red flag has been completely divided into small pieces by the devil's gun tower with the white flag. The base area that originally had a great strategic depth is now gone.The troops operating in those base areas were completely divided by the devil's artillery towers and compressed into narrow strips.

When the devils are not encircled and suppressed, everything is fine.

But once the devils concentrated their heavy troops to encircle them in different areas, the troops that were left in the narrow and long area would not even have a place to retreat.

He replied calmly: "No, the devils can't be allowed to build any more. These gun towers and roads are like a net, covering all our troops. We must break this big net, otherwise we will be killed unconsciously. Be divided and surrounded by devils, and then wiped out!"

The chief of staff reacted quickly: "Brigade Commander, what you mean is to launch a large-scale sabotage campaign and destroy these artillery towers!"

"Not bad!" Brigadier Chen affirmed.

The chief of staff immediately expressed his concern: "However, the mobile troops transported by the devils by car are a big trouble!"

"When the devils first built the gun towers, some of our troops fought against them. But just halfway through the fight, the devil's reinforcements came by car and attacked from both sides. In the end, not only failed to take down the gun towers, but we also lost troops when we broke through the siege and retreated."

"We don't have direct-pointing artillery, and we can only use explosives to blow up the blockhouse. The biggest problem with this type of attack is time. It takes at least half an hour to take down a blockhouse. If there are more defenders, it will take an hour or even two hours." Perhaps, this can only be done when the main force has several times the strength advantage. However, the devil's mobile force doesn't give us this time at all!"

Brigadier Chen frowned even deeper, staring at the map without speaking.

"Chief, a new urgent call!" Suddenly, a communications staff officer walked in.

"Wang Ping is more anxious than us, he can't sit still!" The chief of staff who quickly read the telegram reported, and handed the telegram to the brigade commander.

"His pressure is greater than that of our other troops!" Brigadier Chen replied with a frown after reading the telegram.

"Although the new regiment has regained some strength, the base outside the mountain is gone, not even a fortress village. After the troops leave the mountain, everything has to start from scratch, and they have to face the devil's cage policy from the very beginning. This battle is not easy to fight!"

But after only a few seconds of hesitation, the brigade commander made a decision: "Call Wang Ping back, agree to let them leave the mountain, and agree to form the fourth battalion of the new regiment. The relevant battalion-level cadres should report to the brigade headquarters for record as soon as possible!"

"In addition, after the new group comes out of the mountain, they must report the situation once every three days!"

The chief of staff froze for a moment and asked, "Brigadier, do you want Xinyituan to test the waters!"

Brigadier Chen answered affirmatively: "There must be someone to try the devil's cage policy. Since Wang Ping is asking for a fight, let him go. He has a flexible mind, and he may be able to sum up a set of methods to deal with the devil during the battle." , broke their cage policy."

After the Tianjiacun maintenance meeting and liaison officers were sent out, Rong Jun locked himself in the room to think about a solution.

Although he is only a company commander now, he believes that only by thinking more can he improve.

However, after a few days, he couldn't think of any other solution except to use artillery to attack and destroy the gun towers along the road.

At this moment, the liaison officer came back with the radio team sent by Wang Ping.

"Company Commander Rong... No, you can be called Battalion Commander Rong now. The regiment headquarters sent a telegram to officially appoint you as the battalion commander of the fourth battalion of the new regiment. The regiment commander asked you to complete the troop training within two days, and there may be tasks in two days Release!"

The long-lost appointment document finally arrived.

Rongjun immediately threw away all the problems and troubles in his mind, took the telegram and read it over and over again, completely immersed in the joy of being promoted.

The instructor was also stunned for a long time before he could react, staring at Rongjun and asked: "Company commander... no, battalion commander, our fourth company has really expanded into a fourth battalion!"

"The commander's order can't be wrong!" After 5 minutes, Rong Jun calmed down from the surprise.

With a serious face, he analyzed: "Instructor, the leader is so anxious, there must be a big move. My opinion is that the expansion is directly based on the platoon. The original platoon leader will be the company commander, the deputy platoon leader will be the instructor, and the squad leader will be the platoon leader." Then choose a veteran from among the recruits to serve as the squad leader."

"Also, many people in the new barracks used to let the platoon leader and squad leader go. As long as they have the ability, they can be promoted and directly become the platoon leader and squad leader!"

The instructor affirmed: "There is no problem with the cadres. There are many good seedlings among the recruits, especially the Northwest Army who joined us first."

"But there is a problem. There is not enough equipment. Half of the soldiers in each company do not have guns. According to the standards of the other three battalions, we are still short of five light machine guns, three heavy machine guns, and three grenadiers. Door!"

Rong Jun frowned.

The leader of the liaison team standing in front of him suddenly interrupted.

"Battle Commander Rong, the head of the equipment team has already prepared for you, just a little bit more!"

Wang Ping had been staring at the map for almost half an hour at the Xinyi Regiment's station.

Finally, I drew a big circle on Fengyun Town with a pen: "Here, Chief of Staff, this place is the closest to the Fourth Battalion. Let's take Fengyun Town first and kill all the Japanese and puppet troops in Fengyun Town!"

"Immediately send a telegram to the Rongjun, contact the [-]rd Company and the [-]th Company, use the platoon as a unit, quickly move to Fengyun Town to lurk, listen to the command of the Fourth Battalion Commander Rongjun, and wait for orders!"

Zhong Chenggong nodded and asked: "Then how do we get out! If we go through the secret passage, the heavy equipment will definitely not be transported out!"

"Go out!" Wang Ping affirmed.

"I want Matsumoto in Linfen City to know that we are going out of the mountain as soon as possible, and then send heavy troops to chase and intercept us!"

"Shocking!" The chief of staff reacted quickly.

Wang Ping said affirmatively: "We will attack the blockade frontally, attract the attention of the devils, and provide opportunities for the Rongjun to take Fengyun Town!"

"As long as we make an opening here and get in touch with Siying, the two towns between Fengyun Town and the mountain at our feet will be surrounded by us, and the devils in the encirclement will calmly kill them before they can react. They, directly take these three towns!"

Zhong Chenggong was shocked again: "Swallowing three towns in one bite is not the first town!"

"Since we want to beat the fools, let's have a bigger appetite!" Wang Ping shouted with pride.
