I am a wolf warrior

If a tacit understanding can be reached with the Central Army retreating in Zhongtiao Mountain and the Jinsui Army retreating to the southern section of Luliang Mountain, at least three infantry regiments can be dispatched to help!

This is almost the strength of a field division.

Combining vertical and horizontal, this is already a political method, not a purely military method. In a sense, Shinozuka Yoshio already has a certain strategic structure.

……

The Japanese army has perfect means of communication and can grasp the front-line information in time.

The communication methods of the Eighth Route Army are much backward. Above the brigade headquarters, they can barely realize the communication of wireless stations, but below the regiment level, they can basically only rely on cavalry for communication.

So the Eighth Route Army doesn't know what the front line is like now, the 129th Division doesn't know, and the 386th Brigade doesn't know either.

Both the brigade commander and the chief of staff could only stay at the brigade headquarters, waiting for the cavalry correspondents of the 772nd Regiment, the Independent Regiment, the New First Regiment, and the New Second Regiment to report.

In order to reduce the workload of the cavalry communicators, the brigade commander has moved his brigade headquarters forward to Baijia Village.

After the Japanese army abandoned the Huting stronghold, the Baijia Village area was merged into the base area, and the original puppet government maintenance chairman was also tried and executed.

But even if the brigade headquarters was moved forward to Baijia Village, it was still more than ten kilometers away from the front line.

Counting the combat time and the time spent by the cavalry correspondent on the road, the brigade commander estimated that the news would not be sent back until after four o'clock in the morning at the earliest.

Even if it is a small base,

It is not so easy to win.

Chapter 108 Battlefield Information Interception

"No, I have to hurry up and squint for a while."

Wrapped in a fur coat, the brigade commander laid down on the camp bed, and said, "I'm sure I won't be able to sleep in the next few days, so I have to take a nap now, Chief of Staff, wake me up at four o'clock. "

The chief of staff said with a smile: "Brigade Commander, it's almost three o'clock, it's only an hour, why sleep?"

"That won't work, I have to squint for a while." The brigade commander shook his head and said, "Don't say an hour, 10 minutes is fine, or else you won't be able to sleep again for the next three days."

After speaking, the brigade commander collapsed on the camp bed and wrapped his fur coat tighter. It was really cold this day, even with the brazier burning in the war room.

But the brigade commander's wish finally came to nothing.

Just half a minute after lying down, there was a sound of horse neighing outside.

"Brigade Commander, neighing!" the Chief of Staff shouted, "A cavalry communicator is coming!"

"Damn, so fast? Is this intentional to keep me from sleeping?" The brigade commander rolled over and sat up.

Immediately, a correspondent rushed in and reported: "Report, the Xinyi Regiment has captured the Liuzhuang stronghold!"

"Okay, well done!" The brigade commander applauded, and then said to the chief of staff, "Chief of staff, hurry up and mark it on the map!"

"Yes!" The chief of staff replied, found the location of Liuzhuang on the map, and drew a big red cross with a red pencil.

The brigade commander came over and looked at the map and said, "Ding Wei made a good start for our 386th brigade. I dare say that this is the first stronghold to be captured in the 129th division and even the entire Eighth Route Army!"

The chief of staff said sincerely, "Ding Wei is fine."

"That is." The brigade commander said, "If Li Yunlong is a fierce general, then Ding Wei is a great general!"

"Indeed." The Chief of Staff nodded and said, "Li Yunlong is a fierce fighter, but he lacks a big picture. Ding Wei has a strong big picture and sees problems more thoroughly than Li Yunlong."

While speaking, there was another neighing sound from outside.

The brigade commander said: "Chief of staff, guess which regiment this time it belongs to?"

The chief of staff said without hesitation: "Most of them belong to the independent regiment."

As soon as the words fell, another cavalry correspondent rushed in.

"Report, the independent regiment has captured the strongholds of Caojiaji, Xiaowangzhuang and Changdian."

After finishing speaking, the correspondent turned around and left, without taking a sip of water, he went back again.

"Okay!" the chief of staff said excitedly, "Although this kid Li Yunlong made Ding Wei take the lead, but he was always three when he came, and his movements were faster than the other regiments."

"This is also Li Yunlong's usual style. He is a lunatic when he fights!"

The brigade commander said: "I seriously doubt that this kid didn't fight according to the headquarters' request. He must have divided his forces into four groups and attacked four targets at the same time, so he moved so fast."

According to the unified deployment of the headquarters, even if it is a small stronghold, you can't be careless. The most appropriate way is to use a force to contain the other small strongholds, and then concentrate the main force of the regiment to attack one of the strongholds. After breaking through a stronghold, move on The next stronghold until all captured.

The advantage of this is that it can concentrate superior firepower.

Make sure to crush the devils and puppet troops in the stronghold.

But the independent group obviously will not adopt this style of play.

This is almost like the head lice on the monk's head, it's obvious.

"Brigadier, don't doubt it, it must be like this."

The chief of staff smiled and said: "Li Yunlong, this kid has never been the main offensive and secondary offensive in wars, it has always been like this."

While talking, the chief of staff found Caojiaji and other three strongholds on the map, and drew a cross with a red pencil.

Looking at the four eye-catching red crosses, the chief of staff asked: "Brigade Commander, do you think the 4th Brigade will send reinforcements?"

"I agree with Xiao Wang's judgment on this point." The brigade commander said in a deep voice, "the 4th brigade will most likely hide in Yangquan and Shouyang, at least not come out before dawn, because he dare not! Besides so many outlying strongholds He was attacked at the same time, can he be saved?"

The chief of staff smiled and said: "Then he will wait for us to wipe out more than 100 outlying strongholds one by one, and then he will become blind and deaf, hahahaha."

The brigade commander also smiled and said, "This is what Xiao Wang said about interception of battlefield information."

The chief of staff continued: "Then next, apart from the fact that the attack group on the south side of Zhengtai Road and the attack group on the north side cannot communicate directly, the two attack groups can quickly and covertly maneuver their troops, so the initiative on the battlefield of Zhengtai Road will be limited." If it falls completely into the hands of our army, the 4th Brigade may just be caught blind."

The brigade commander just smiled and didn't speak.

But he thought in his heart, Xiao Wang is really good.

Being the captain of the Wolf Warriors is really a talent.

……

"Yawn yawn!"

Wang Ye sneezed loudly twice.

Fortunately, this place is on a high mountain near Longwangao.

Otherwise, just these two sneezes will expose the target.

The sky was gradually brightening, and looking forward from the high place where I was hiding, I could clearly see the range of several kilometers on the north and south sides of Zhengtai Road.

With the help of binoculars, at least three battlefields can be seen.

This means that three strongholds are under attack.

Wang Ye's attention fell on a stronghold on the south side of Zhengtai Road.

From the map, this should be the Mazhuang stronghold outside the Yanzigou stronghold.

Because several other strongholds have been breached one after another, only the devils and puppet troops in the Mazhuang stronghold are still stubbornly resisting, and the Eighth Route Army's attack has encountered difficulties.

Wei Dayong asked: "Which unit is this? What a waste!"

Wang Ye said: "It should be a certain battalion of the New 8th Brigade."

"New 8th Brigade? No wonder." Wei Dayong was stunned.

It can be seen from the serial number that the New 8th Brigade is a new brigade that has just been formed.

According to the tradition of the Eighth Route Army, among the several regiments under the jurisdiction of the New 8th Brigade, at most there is only one old regiment, and there may even be only one old battalion, and the rest are all new battalions upgraded from local armed forces.

Such troops are not only poorly equipped, but also poorly trained.

It is a bit difficult for such a force to take on the tough task.

The sky was getting brighter and brighter, and finally even the sun showed its small face.

However, the attack on the Mazhuang stronghold by the opposing troops has never made any progress.

"There is no time." Wei Dayong sighed and said, "I guess I can't take it."

"That's not necessarily the case, there is one last chance." Wang Ye still held up the military binoculars and continued to observe the Mazhuang stronghold a few kilometers ahead.

Wei Dayong asked: "What opportunity?"

Wang Yedao: "No accident, Maeda Hideo must have given the order to retreat. If I were the commander of the army on the opposite side, I would decisively give up the attack, transfer the troops to the sides of the retreat route of the devils and puppet troops, and wait for the devils to retreat. If the puppet army enters the ambush circle and then launches a charge, they will be able to take advantage of their strength and kill them with one blow."

After a pause, Wang Ye suddenly said, "Maybe I'm already doing this."

"Is there?" Wei Dayong said, "But why didn't I see it?"

Wang Ye said: "Don't you think that the troops involved in the attack are a bit small?"

Wei Dayong looked at it and said: "It seems to be true, at most it is only a company's strength."

While speaking, the Eighth Route Army attacking the Mazhuang stronghold really withdrew, and the retreat was so fast that it disappeared from Wang Ye's sight in a blink of an eye.

"Yes, that's right."

There was a smile on the corner of Wang Ye's mouth.

Then not long after, about one squad (squad) of devils, leading about one platoon of puppet troops, withdrew from the Mazhuang stronghold in a hurry. The dozens of puppet troops were still carrying large bags and small boxes on their backs. It was probably food and ammunition, and the devils were reluctant to throw them away, so they wanted to take them back to the Yanzigou stronghold.

It is only about five kilometers from the Mazhuang stronghold to the Yanzigou stronghold.

However, there is a large area of ​​corn in the middle. At this time, the valley has grown to half a person's height and is lush.

When the devils and puppet soldiers walked to the edge of this valley, they obviously hesitated, as if they were afraid of being ambushed.

But at this moment, there was another gunshot from the direction of the Mazhuang stronghold behind him, and the Eighth Route Army, which had disappeared just now, suddenly came out of nowhere.

The devils and puppet troops got into Baogu.

Seeing this, the smile on the corner of Wang Ye's mouth grew stronger.

Although the combat effectiveness of the newly formed battalion on the opposite side is poor, the battalion commander is thoughtful.

Sure enough, as soon as seventy or eighty devils and puppet troops walked to the middle of Baogu, hundreds of Eighth Route Army suddenly came out of the lush Baogu, and then stabbed them randomly with spears and shuttles.

In less than 5 minutes, all the devils and puppet soldiers who entered the ambush circle were stabbed to death.

The devils and puppet soldiers in the Yanzigou stronghold could not even be rescued in time. Of course, then again, the devils and puppet soldiers in the Yanzigou stronghold could not be rescued, because Maeda Xiu had issued a strict order last night not to act rashly.

Therefore, the devils and puppet troops in the Yanzigou stronghold could only watch the devils and puppet troops in the Mazhuang stronghold be wiped out, and then watched the Eighth Route Army clean up the battlefield and leave with large bags and small boxes.

In the end, I was so angry that I fired a few shots with a heavy machine gun.

But at such a distance, heavy machine guns are a waste of bullets.

Only then did Wang Ye put down the binoculars, and said with a smile, "If I'm not wrong, the first phase of the battle has ended successfully, and the result should be good."

"The brigades and regiments should have basically completed their combat missions."

"Our 129th Division should have realized the interception of battlefield information on the Zhengtai Railway. Except for Zhengtai Road and the [-] major strongholds along the line, the devils have basically become blind and deaf to other situations."

"This also means that the initiative on the battlefield is in my hands!"

"The only thing left for the devil is to be beaten."

……

Yangquan, 4th Brigade Headquarters.

Isamu Kimura came out of the communication class and reported to Qian Tianxiu: "Brigade Commander, the garrison team at the Mazhuang stronghold was also ambushed and smashed by the Eighth Route Army on the way to retreat."

"This is the last garrison team."

"As of now, except for the 93 garrison teams that have successfully withdrawn to the first-level strongholds, the other [-] garrison teams were either wiped out on the spot at the strongholds, or were wiped out by the Eighth Route Army during the retreat."

"Because the number of garrison troops withdrawing was too small, and the retreat process was too flustered, so far, we have not been able to find out the number and strength of the troops of the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side."

"To make matters worse, we have completely lost control of the ten to fifteen kilometer area along Zhengtai Road."

"Several reconnaissance teams sent out before dawn were all attacked by the Eighth Route Army. They were either smashed collectively, or were forced to withdraw to various strongholds in the dispatched places."

"That is to say, the Eighth Route Army has achieved information interception on Zhengtai Road!"

"The only thing the imperial army can do now is to ensure the safety of Zhengtai Road and the thirteen first-level strongholds along the route, but this situation may not last for long."

"Not surprisingly, the Eighth Route Army will definitely have further offensive operations."

"Bagayalu!" Maeda Xiu said angrily, "What is the Eighth Route Army trying to do? Are they trying to remove all the thirteen first-level strongholds along Zhengtai Road? Or do they want to eat our first 4 Brigade?"

Kimura Isamu said: "Eating the 4th Brigade is wishful thinking, but it is not impossible to attack Zhengtai Road and remove some or all [-] first-level strongholds along the line. I think this should be the goal of the Eighth Route Army, and I also It is believed that the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang bandit area has already come out."
