"Chief of Staff, write down the method of the independent regiment sending commandos to pretend to be bandits to infiltrate enemy-occupied areas, and let the other main regiments learn from it!" the brigade commander suddenly ordered.
"If the commandos sent out by other main force groups are like the independent group, they can infiltrate twice in a row and seize the opportunity to capture several strongholds!"
"Not only can we have a good year, but we can also make up for the equipment that the army lacks!"
"When the puppet troops launch a new round of raids against us in spring, our cards in the fight will become stronger and stronger."
"I've written it all down, but I still have a worry!" the chief of staff reminded after thinking for a while.
"The Independent Regiment will start to close the net in the next operation, and other troops have just begun to penetrate into enemy-occupied areas, sometimes quickly and sometimes slowly. If the Japanese lose a few strongholds and then quickly respond and strengthen their alert, those troops that have just started to penetrate will be gone." Opportunity.”
"Not only will you not get any benefits, but you will also get a head-on collision in an enemy-occupied area and shed blood!"
"Definitely not, Chief of Staff, you are worrying too much!" Kong Jie suddenly interrupted.
"I also think that what the chief of staff is worried about will not happen!" the brigade commander followed.
"Kong Jie, please speak first, and we will listen to your opinion!"
Kong Jie quickly waved his hand: "I don't have any high opinion. The judgment just now was based on the reaction of the Japanese and puppet troops in the enemy-occupied area!"
"The enemy-occupied area is very large. There are hundreds of small and large counties in total, and there are dozens of counties that border our base area alone!"
"The larger counties have more than a thousand Japs stationed there, and the smaller counties have hundreds of Japs stationed there."
"Including the puppet troops, there are basically more than a thousand troops stationed in each county."
"Take the enemy-occupied areas around the Independent Regiment as an example: six commandos are distributed in three counties. Even if we capture three strongholds at once, we will only lose one stronghold in each county and lose dozens of Japanese and puppet troops!"
"For the Japanese and puppet troops with more than 1,000 garrison troops, this loss is almost negligible and insignificant."
"The Japanese army also wants to save face. Most likely they will not report such trivial matters to the superiors or publicize them everywhere. They will find ways to absorb the losses internally!"
"Even if a county town reports the losses, the losses of dozens of people will at best be filed in their brigade headquarters and never reach the brigade commander. The higher-ranking officers will not even have a chance to see it."
"Without the attention of higher-level Japanese troops, and the Japanese and puppet troops under attack not wanting to publicize their defeat, the Japanese and puppet troops in other places have no reason to step up their vigilance, and will not bother to build one or two strongholds!"
"I understand!" the chief of staff reacted quickly.
"The commandos sent by each regiment should be dispersed as much as possible. At most two commandos can be deployed in a county. No matter how hard you try, you can't make much splash."
"Eighty percent of the Japanese and puppet troops will regard those sneak attacks as accidents and not take them seriously, and no one will pay attention to them. The Japanese and puppet troops in other places have not received early warning, so they will definitely continue to do what they should do, and they will not increase their vigilance for no reason!"
The brigade commander looked at Kong Jie with admiration and said, "My reasons for judgment are similar to Kong Jie's."
"The loss of one or two strongholds is insignificant to the local Japanese and puppet troops, but each of our main regiments is responsible for several counties."
"With one stronghold in each county, one main force group can conquer several strongholds during the operation!"
"The trophies captured add up to a small amount, which can not only partially solve the weapon gaps of each regiment, but also allow the soldiers to have a good year!"
"Kong Jie, drink some water first. I will send a telegram to the headquarters immediately and ask the head of the headquarters to approve our plan and further promote this style of play. After sending the telegram, tell me about the great gift!"
While the brigade commander was waiting for a call back from the headquarters, the boss was deep in thought while holding the telegram.
The deputy chief of staff was the first to read the telegram. After studying the map, he suddenly looked up: "Boss, I think Brigadier Chen's proposal is very good!"
"I heard that Kong Jie was the first to come up with this idea. I didn't expect that he, who is usually so honest, could come up with such a crazy idea as digging into the enemy's lair."
"The Chinese New Year is coming soon. If each main regiment can secure two or three strongholds in enemy-occupied areas, not only will it be able to replenish some equipment, but the troops will also be able to have a good New Year!"
The boss nodded and replied: "I know that boy Kong Jie. He is very calm when marching and fighting. He never compromises on executing the orders of his superiors. He has a strong sense of the overall situation and is very selective. He is a fierce general. He dared to report this matter and even got them The brigade commander’s approval shows that they are fully confident!”
"I just thought that such a good fighter plane was in front of us, so we just captured a few small strongholds and grabbed some weapons, ammunition and white noodles. What a loss!"
At the brigade headquarters, the brigade commander returned to Kong Jie after sending the telegram: "Now you can tell me about the great gift you sent!"
"Last time I sent so many good things and I didn't dare to say "big gift". When we meet today, tell me "big gift". The chief of staff and I need to see it!"
"I promise I won't let you down!" Kong Jie replied with a confident look on his face.
"In this operation, we shifted the focus of our attack to the traitors. They are not the army. I thought it would be good if the commandos could bring back some food from this trip. But the background of these traitors was far beyond my expectation!"
"The Japanese did not have enough troops. In order to manage the enemy-occupied areas, they began to vigorously support local traitors to serve as their lackeys."
"Those traitors also want to continue to oppress the people with the support of the Japanese, and the two sides hit it off!"
"The traitors have money and food in their hands, and the Japanese have guns and ammunition. As long as the traitors are willing to pay, the Japanese will dare to sell any equipment except heavy weapons."
"In order to strengthen their local dominance and to let the Japanese see their strength and rely on them more, the traitors spared no effort to arm their lackeys."
"Although the equipment they bought was all captured by the enemy after being eliminated and captured on the battlefield, and the quality is not very good, they have a lot of ammunition in reserve."
"Speaking of which, I have to mention Comrade Huang Yu from the security class."
"The traitors they killed only had ten scoundrels, and they were equipped with nine Japs. They captured the Jinsui Army's imitation 38 cap and a Mauser pistol."
"However, in the cellar of the traitor's house, we found fifty imitation 38 caps, two crooked-handled light machine guns, thirty boxes of 65-caliber bullets, twenty boxes of four hundred wooden-handled grenades, and four boxes of pistol bullets. It’s comparable to a small arsenal!”
"After asking the prisoners, I found out that this traitor had been promised by the Japanese: as long as he could recruit a company of traitors, the entire town would be under his control."
"That's why I spent all my wealth to buy these equipment!"
"Although other traitors are not so exaggerated, they all have a large amount of ammunition, more than what we captured from destroying a team of Japanese soldiers!"
"The independent regiment is short of weapons. I will keep all the captured rifles and machine guns to equip the troops."
"There is a lot more ammunition. I sent them all: a total of ten boxes of sixty-five caliber bullets, ten boxes of seventy-nine caliber bullets, and ten boxes of wooden handle grenades!"
"We also sent six thousand kilograms of white flour and five hundred kilograms of marinated pork, which is enough for the brigade headquarters to live a prosperous year!"
"There are 49 small yellow croakers and two thousand yuan!"
"They were all seized from the traitors. There were originally more than that, but the Independent Regiment also lacked funds, so I took the initiative and kept the fractions. A total of 826 yuan, please ask the brigade commander for approval!"
