Chapter 175 Zhou Weihans Strategy to Defeat the Enemy
"He has a good plan, and I have a wall ladder!" Zhou Weihan said confidently.
"Commander Zhou, can you stop being so pretentious? You are still joking here at this time!" Zhao Gang said seriously with a straight face.
"Shi Yousan is eager to see the reinforcements from the Japs, so let's pretend to be the Japs reinforcements from Xingtai and lure Shiyou San out of the turtle shell!" Zhou Weihan said.
"Your method seems feasible, but upon closer inspection, there are many loopholes. If nothing else, the little Japanese reinforcements from Xingtai will definitely maintain radio contact with Shi Yousan. It is impossible for our troops to make Shi Yousan think they are reinforcements!" Zhao Gang said.
Zi lifted his spirits.
"That's what I said, but we don't know the specific communication situation between the little devil and the three friends. There is a saying in the art of war: attacking the heart is the top, attacking the city is the bottom; fighting with the heart is the top, fighting with the soldiers is the bottom.
The Three Friends are like people who have fallen into the water and suddenly have a glimmer of hope of survival. What will happen to them?"
"That must be desperate to seize this glimmer of hope of survival. Now the three friends are surrounded by us. Food and ammunition cannot be effectively replenished. Sooner or later they will be exhausted. At this time, the reinforcements of the little devils have arrived. It must be
Break out at all costs!" Xing Zhiguo analyzed.
"That's right, people's hearts are the most unpredictable in the world. Even if the third-class senior officer Shiyou can see through our plan, can the big-headed soldiers below see through it?"
"The worst-case scenario can also cause the enemy troops on the west side to be mentally unstable and the defense line unstable. If the enemy troops on the west side rush out of the position, then we will eliminate them through field battles, and then break into the village through the gap on the west side!"
"The better situation is that Shi Yousan leads his troops to break through, then our goal will be achieved and we can eat it in one bite!" Zhou Weihan said.
"At the critical moment of life and death, a person who can keep a cool head and see through the enemy's plans is a famous general in the world. With the virtue of Shiyousan, is he worthy? If he really has that ability, can he reach today's situation of being surrounded by our Eighth Route Army on all sides?
?" Zhou Weihan said disdainfully.
"Lao Zhou, according to what you said, this method is still very feasible!" Zhao Gang thought about it carefully for a while and said.
"There is no perfect strategy in the world, but I am at least 50% sure!" Zhou Weihan said confidently.
"Which regiment will be sent to carry out this mission?"
"Let's just use Jing Dagang's regiment. The regiment is all Japanese weapons. In addition, the regiment has not participated in the battle since yesterday. Let Jing Dagang's regiment join!"
The three of them then hammered out the specific details.
"I'll go to the headquarters to find Commander Song. You two inform Jing Dagang and ask their regiment to prepare! There is also Chen Feng's Type 92 infantry artillery battery!" Zhou Weihan said.
Commander Song's headquarters is not far from the location of Zhou Weihan's independent detachment. One is on the north side of the battlefield and the other is on the south side of the battlefield.
After a while, Zhou Weihan arrived at the headquarters and saw Commander Song and everyone else with frowning faces.
Zhou Weihan knew in his heart that if you eat a cooked duck in a hurry, it will burn your mouth. If you don't eat it in a hurry, others may take it away, which is a dilemma.
The three remnants of the surrounded Shiyou army could not defeat the enemy by themselves. After all, the Eighth Route Army had the numerical advantage. However, Commander Song and others were worried about too many casualties and could not make up their minds.
"Commander Song, I have a method that may be able to resolve the current impasse!" Zhou Weihan said.
"Great, tell me!" Commander Song frowned and said.
Zhou Weihan then explained the plan in detail.
"This is your idea, maybe it can really solve the current impasse!"
"Zhou Weihan, I now understand why the headquarters sent the independent detachment to fight in southern Hebei. Not only because the independent detachment is strong, but also because you are a military advisor!" Commander Song's frown finally relaxed.
"That's it. I was worried that you were under too much pressure but I didn't tell you. Chen Zaidao's left column is also fighting a tight battle with the 181st Division. He has already sent me three telegrams requesting support!
Not to mention the fact that you destroyed nine Japanese aircraft before, and now you have found a way to break the deadlock, okay, after the battle is over, I will report the situation of this battle to the central government truthfully!"
"Commander Song still has a problem. Most of the heavy machine guns used by our independent detachment are Maxims. The Japanese army only has a few Type 92 heavy machine guns!" Zhou Weihan said.
"This is easy to solve. I will transfer six Type 92 heavy machine guns from other troops to you. Apart from this, do you have any other requirements?" Commander Song asked.
"Gone!"
"Okay, this time it's up to you. I will order all the troops to cooperate with your department's actions!"
"Yes, I promise to complete the task!"
By the time Zhou Weihan returned to the independent detachment, Jing Dagang's regiment and the Type 92 infantry artillery battery had already been assembled.
"Dagang, have they made it clear to you, the political commissar of the mission?"
"Commander, I know everything about the mission!"
"The success or failure of this time all depends on the performance of your group. The performance is really unreal!"
"Commander, don't worry. We have been dealing with the Japs for so long, and the Japs' tactics are very close to the mark!" Jing Dagang said confidently.
Peiping, Japanese North China Expeditionary Force Headquarters.
Okamura Neiji was very appreciative of Yuan Mixiong's recruitment of three friends, the expansion of the defense force in southern Hebei, and the maintenance of law and order in southern Hebei.
But at this time, Neji Okamura was furious at the headquarters. Only three of the 12 aircraft in the flight formation that took off from Shizhuang escaped back to Shizhuang Airport.
Yamada Inima's immediate superior saw that there was no Yamada Inima among the three pilots who came back. He couldn't help but feel a black eye. He thought that the best outcome for him would be to transfer to the reserve force. Finally, he mustered up the courage to report to Okamura Neji.
For the little devils who are short of resources, every plane is a valuable strategic resource, not to mention the pilot who is more important than the plane.
In addition, the life and death of his nephew Yamada Inoma was uncertain, so Okamura Neji could not help but become furious.
The adjutant on the side secretly complained that he happened to be the one to report the news.
"Your Excellency, Commander, according to the report of the returning pilot, Yamada-kun's plane did not explode directly in the air, but the right wing was broken by the Eighth Route Army and flew towards the south! I believe that with Yamada-kun's flying skills,
Safe and sound!" the adjutant said cautiously.
"Baga Yalu, as a soldier of the Japanese Empire, it is shameful to be captured by the Chinese! I hope he can commit suicide to safeguard the dignity of the Japanese Empire!" Okamura Neiji said.
Yuan Mixiong, who was in Xingtai, was in a bad mood at this time. According to the normal implementation of the plan, Shi Yousan should have broken through the Eighth Route Army's encirclement this morning with the support of the aircraft and the Sugiura Eikichi regiment.
However, Shimomoto Yaxiong learned through friends in the headquarters that General Okamura's nephew was the pilot in this battle and his life or death was uncertain, and his heart suddenly dropped.
"Baga, this piece of trash Sugiura Eikichi is dead! He was blocked by the Eighth Route Army along the way and has not reached Wei County yet!"
Terai Koichi and Sugiura Eikichi usually looked down upon each other. Normally, if there was such a good opportunity to add insult to injury, Terai Koichi had put on eye drops early in the morning, but at this time, Terai Koichi did not dare to touch Motoya Kuma's brow.
