"Old Li, what you said is indeed a problem, but I believe that Isamu Terauchi of Wuyi County will not let go of the big fat piece of Liubao Stronghold in vain."
"As long as the Liubao stronghold is in the hands of Temple Yong, everything will be easy." Zhou Weihan said confidently.
"Old Zhou, isn't this a disguised form of cooperating with the Japanese? Will it violate discipline?" Zhao Gang said a little worried.
"What kind of violation of discipline is this? Everyone gets what they need. Aren't we trying to open up transportation channels?" Zhou Weihan said.
"That's right, we will attack wherever we attack, so let's attack the Liubao stronghold. We must be extremely rich. Besides, how do we know that the Liubao stronghold will eventually be occupied by the devils in Wuyi? There is no way we can take the blame for this.
?" Li Yunlong said nonchalantly.
"However, the Liubao stronghold is also a tough nut to crack. It not only has strong gun towers and bunkers, but also has built trenches outside." Zhou Weihan explained.
"So there is at least one squadron of Japs stationed at the Liubao stronghold?" Zhao Gang said.
"Not only that, the puppet troops in the Liubao stronghold are not ordinary puppet troops, but the Wu'an County Guard. Their combat effectiveness is not comparable to that of ordinary puppet troops." Zhou Weihan said.
The puppet army in North China at that time actually included two parts: the regular army, with the North China Security Army as the main body, and the local puppet army with the provincial, prefecture, and county garrison as the main body.
On the surface, it seems that the "North China Security Army", which is a regular army, has strong combat effectiveness. However, in fact, the county guards of the North China puppet army are not only large in number, but also direct descendants of the little devils, and are the backbone of maintaining "public order".
The Japs assigned Japanese advisers at all levels to the garrison, who directly commanded the garrison. The garrison was equipped with Japanese commanders at all levels, and was entirely under the command of the Japs.
Under the direct command and coercion of the Japanese military advisers, these people were much more motivated to fight. At least they turned a blind eye to the Eighth Route Army and obviously let the Eighth Route Army go, which they did not dare to do.
Secondly, another reason why the equipment and morale of the garrison are higher than that of the North China Security Army is that most of their troops are uniformly equipped with advanced 38 or medium-sized equipment, including a lot of light machine guns and heavy machine guns, and some are even equipped with
Mortar.
The small number of police units are even more impressive. The weapons they use are supplemented by the increased spare guns of various Japanese military departments, that is, Japanese weapons and equipment.
The police forces in various places were directly controlled by the local Japanese troops, were uniformly organized, and trained intensively.
Not only are the equipment of the garrison supplied by the Japanese army, but they are also provided with food and salary on time every month, with very few delays.
Therefore, the police force is very tenacious in combat and takes the initiative in every battle. Basically everyone has a blood debt on their body.
After hearing Zhou Weihan's words, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang looked a little heavy. They had seen the combat effectiveness of the police force.
"Damn, even if I lose my front teeth, I still have to chew down the Japanese stronghold of Liubao." Li Yunlong said with wide eyes.
"Captain Li, the strength of the Liubao stronghold cannot be underestimated. Once we attack the Liubao stronghold, the Japanese troops from Wu'an and Wuyi will definitely reinforce us. The strength of our two regiments alone is a bit weak. Besides, our troops have always been
We lack the heavy weapons to attack the enemy." Seeing that Li Yunlong was a bit superior, Zhao Gang persuaded him from the side.
"This battle is not easy to fight, so we have to make a careful calculation." Zhou Weihan said.
"Hey, let's not hide it anymore. During this period, our new regiment has done a lot of side jobs and made a small fortune. We have one Type 92 infantry cannon, two 60 mortars, and more light and heavy machine guns.
Needless to say, the regiment has three main battalions, plus a guard company and an artillery platoon. There are not many people, only 2,000 people, and this does not include the local armed forces." Li Yunlong glanced at Zhou Weihan and said richly.
Zhou Weihan ignored Li Yunlong and continued: "Although the Japs in Wu'an and Wuyi counties each stationed a regiment, their combat effectiveness can only be regarded as third-rate, which is far from the serious field divisions of the Japs, and the personnel are not fully staffed.
There are only more than 2,000 temple warriors in Wuyi."
"The little devils have built many strongholds and fortresses. Troops are stationed in each place, and the personnel are scattered. The county's mobile troops are only stationed with one squadron."
"The Liubao stronghold is at the junction of two counties. If all the Japs troops gather for at least three or four hours, if the few come, we will eat them directly and open up the passage to the base area in one fell swoop."
"Having said that, I still think the risk of two regiments operating is too high." Zhao Gang still looked worried.
"That's it, there are more people, more wolves and less meat, so what oil and water can be divided?" Li Yunlong said.
"Hey, I think this time our New Regiment, Battalion and Guard Company will be responsible for the main attack. Other troops will block the Japanese reinforcements from the Wu'an direction. Your New Second Regiment will be responsible for the Japanese reinforcements from the Wuyi direction." Li Yunlong said.
He looked like the commander-in-chief on the battlefield, and those who didn't know better thought he was the brigade commander.
"Hmph, Li Yunlong, your calculations are very good. Why should you, the new group, eat meat, and our new group have to drink soup? You are not afraid of knocking your front teeth." Zhou Weihan saw through Li Yunlong at a glance.
plan.
"Why, just because the new first regiment is the main regiment of the Eight Hundred, and your new second regiment is just a local regiment that was just established in the 9th and 6th divisions, how can you argue with me?" Li Yunlong said shamelessly.
"Lao Zhou, don't worry, we, Lao Li, won't treat you badly. When the time comes to capture the Liubao stronghold, we will divide it into three-to-seven, seven for us and three for you."
"Li Yunlong, you have such a strong tone. When will it be your turn to command me? Your new regiment is strong, and my new regiment is not weak."
Zhao Gang looked at the two people who were discussing tactical issues together just now, and they started arguing at this time. He was somewhat helpless: "Okay, the matter hasn't been settled yet. Have you two figured out how to divide the captured weapons and equipment?"
"Besides, using two regiments of troops requires the consent of the brigade headquarters."
"Li Yunlong, believe it or not, I suggested to the brigade commander that the new regiment be disqualified from action. By then, let alone eating meat, you won't even be able to drink soup." Zhou Weihan said.
"Don't, Old Zhou, my good brother, my brother is wrong, what do you think we should do?" When he heard the name of the brigade commander, Li Yunlong was pinched by Zhou Weihan, and he immediately gave in.
"Each of the two regiments will send out a battalion to attack the Liubao stronghold. When the time comes, no one will fight or rob. We will divide it 50-50."
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say. I'll obey your orders this time." Li Yunlong acted like a wronged little daughter-in-law.
"Is this right? I will send someone to investigate the specific strength and weapons and equipment of the Liubao stronghold, and I will contact you when the time comes." Zhou Weihan said.
The entrance to the village where the New Regiment is stationed.
"Lao Zhou, please walk slowly, I'm waiting for your good news," Li Yunlong said with a smile.
Zhou Weihan and his party headed towards the station of the New Second Regiment. Zhao Gang hesitated for a long time and said, "Old Zhou, are you really sure about this operation?"
"Old Zhao, you don't know the situation of our new second regiment yet. You will know when we get here." Zhou Weihan said to Zhao Gang mysteriously.
"I'm not bragging. The weapons and equipment of the New Regiment are far behind our New Second Regiment. The New Second Regiment has more than 2,000 people. During this period of time, they have been training through combat, and their combat effectiveness is also very good." Zhou Weihan said very confidently.
After all, with the blessing of Zhou Weihan's training characteristics, the combat effectiveness of each battalion in the New Second Regiment has been visibly improved in more than a month.
