Huang Yu returned to Shunping three days later. The troops carried a large amount of loot and prisoners, so the retreat took a full day longer than the departure.
In order to conceal the news and let Neji Okamura know the true identity of the Peking guerrilla detachment later, Huang Yu led his troops to smear the troops and entered the base area. Only Kong Jie and Liu Sen stood at the entrance of the village to greet them.
Except for them and the troops participating in the war, no one knew where Huang Yu had been these days.
"Deputy Chief of Staff Huang, you fought this battle beautifully. With just one reinforced battalion, you defeated Neji Okamura and wiped out thousands of Japanese puppet troops. The result was greater than even a single battle we launched. "When Liu Sen saw Huang Yu, it was like seeing a pile of gold ingots, and his eyes lit up with emotion.
"If I were to direct this battle, there would be no chance of winning."
"No wonder the regiment commander comforted me after you set off: Although you don't have many troops, you can equal a regiment by yourself. As long as you are here, there is no mission that the army cannot complete."
"I didn't believe it before, but now I do."
"If my superiors hadn't allowed it, I would have given you the position of chief of staff of the Duer Regiment."
Kong Jie was happy and gratified. Huang Yu's success showed that he had not misjudged the person.
With such a powerful deputy, the Duer Group will definitely become stronger and stronger, and continue to grow and develop amidst the constant crises.
As he said that, he changed the topic to Huang Yu's several big battles in Peiping.
After two questions and one answer, Huang Yu's mouth went dry after a while, but Kong Jie and Liu Sen listened with joy. They were so happy that they couldn't help but add a few words.
It wasn't until he finished his second cup of tea that Kong Jie stopped and stopped asking new questions.
"Captain, how is the troop training going these days while I'm gone?" Huang Yu then asked the question he was most concerned about.
"Development is the last word. As long as the army is strong enough, even that old devil Okamura Neji will not be afraid of sending 10,000 elite troops from Peking to reinforce Baoding."
The smile on Kong Jie's face immediately disappeared, he shook his head and said helplessly: "There are too few veterans in the team!"
"One veteran trains at least three recruits, and the progress is very slow."
"At the current pace, it may not take another three months for the troops to become combat effective."
Chief of Staff Liu Sen led the training of the main force of the regiment and followed up with the recruitment: "The proportion of veterans in the main force of the regiment is even smaller. Except for the squad leader and deputy squad leader, the ordinary soldiers are almost all new recruits. Many of the deputy squad leaders are prisoners of the puppet army who took the initiative to join us."
"I watched them train every day, and I just taught all the new recruits how to shoot. If I give them another four months, they may not be able to become combat effective."
"Too slow?" Huang Yu's good mood suddenly fell to the bottom, and he frowned and answered.
"On the way back, I heard that the Baoding Mixed Brigade has been restored to full strength, and three regiments of the Imperial Association Army have been reorganized. Even without Peiping reinforcements, they can gather six to seven thousand people to attack us."
"There is no way the troops can fight with them in this situation."
"If the Japanese change their focus from a comprehensive sweep to a focused attack and concentrate their superior forces to attack one of our garrison regiments one by one, even if there is genuine cooperation, the troops will still be no match."
"I also heard that the Baoding Japanese mixed brigade headquarters has been holding meetings these days, and it must be related to the raid on us."
"Perhaps they have already formulated a new raid plan. When we open our eyes one morning, the troops will have already reached the gate of the base area."
Kong Jie nodded and said: "We all know what you mentioned, but it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice..."
"There are only so many veterans in the army, and we can't conjure them out of thin air. We can only live one day at a time and pray that the Baoding mixed brigade will mop up us later."
"I have veterans in my hands..." Huang Yu decided to tell him what he had thought of on the way.
"In the battle of Peiping, we captured a total of 2,896 puppet soldiers."
"The puppet army there is different from what we have encountered in other places. Their low-level officers are basically from military academies. The soldiers are well-trained and have strong combat effectiveness, but they have no fighting will and no faith."
"When an officer dies in a war, ordinary soldiers will become a mess and lose their fighting spirit."
"From the moment I captured them, I asked several instructors to do their ideological work and mobilize them to join the Eighth Route Army."
"The effect is very good. More than 600 people have accepted our mobilization and actively asked to join us."
"If the leader is willing to take over, it will definitely be no problem to mobilize another 800 people."
"With these more than 1,400 veterans, the proportion of new veterans in the team will be reduced, which will definitely greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the team."
"When we opened up the county, we also took down the officer's school built there by the Pacification Army and captured many instructors. The army was able to use them as a basis to form a teaching team to train platoon leaders and company commanders."
"There are also instructors who specialize in training operators and gunners. The newly established teaching team can also set up an artillery unit and a communication unit to train gunners and operators."
"As long as there is a teaching team in the future, we will have a steady stream of grassroots cadres, and the army can expand as much as it wants."
Kong Jie didn't expect that Huang Yu had prepared such a big surprise, so he immediately overtook Liu Sen and ordered: "Chief of Staff, you are responsible for mobilizing the prisoners."
"I am responsible for setting up the training team. I have heard that the appeasement army built an officer school in Tong County. Many of the puppet army officers captured by the army came from there."
"The school is a good school, and the instructors there are all talented, but they are with the wrong people and have no faith."
"After joining the Eighth Route Army, I promise to transform them."
Huang Yu continued to add: "After the prisoners who are willing to join us are assigned to each regiment, it is best to use them together to ensure that each regiment has a veteran camp that can be used."
"If the Japanese and puppet troops in Baoding come to raid us with the idea of recruiting new recruits, a few veteran camps will definitely catch them off guard."
…………
When the Japanese mixed brigade headquarters in Baoding saw Colonel Kawasaki returning to the war room with a smile on his face, the deputy knew that the strategy proposed by the brigade commander was successful without asking, and immediately asked: "Sir, what did the commander say?"
"Your Excellency, Commander, your support for us is very strong!" Kawasaki Colonel said proudly, as if Okamura Neji agreed because of his face.
"Promise to send telegrams to the SJZ, Dezhou, and Zhangjiakou garrison immediately, asking them to immediately mobilize troops to reinforce us."
"We will send a telegram to these troops in half an hour to inquire about the specific situation of the reinforcements, and we will refine the new raid plan based on the specific strength and equipment of the reinforcements."
"We will send troops as soon as reinforcements arrive."
"The intelligence department and the reconnaissance force continue to collect all information about the Eighth Route Army in Yinzhong."
"The 5,000 elite reinforcements in Peiping suddenly retreated, and the prepared sweep plan was temporarily terminated. The Eighth Route Army in Yizhong must be very happy, feeling that the crisis it faced has been lifted."
"When they are celebrating in the base area and we suddenly kill them, what do you think they will look like?"
The deputy replied with a longing look on his face: "He must be shocked... he will also panic... he will be at a loss... and finally he will be wiped out by us with despair..."
"Well said..." Colonel Kawasaki clapped his hands and applauded.
"I just want the Eighth Route Army in Yi Zhong to be wiped out by us in despair..."
…………
From the General Headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, Huang Yu's battle in Peking has been forwarded here via telegram. The deputy commander-in-chief sighed while watching: "It's really scary to be born..."
"Only Huang Yu dares to ambush a reinforced Japanese brigade with a reinforced battalion."
The deputy chief of staff responded: "But this ambush was not fought recklessly at all."
"Although our participating troops are only as large as those of the Japanese, our combat firepower is more than three times that of the Japanese."
"It does a good job of making up for the lack of troops with firepower."
"There were dozens of light and heavy machine guns, and dozens of mortars. I guess the little devil was fooled at that time and thought he was besieged by four to five thousand Eighth Route Army troops."
The deputy commander then sighed: "The raid on Tongxian County was also fought very well."
"Using the prisoners of the puppet army, they entered the county without spending a single soldier, and successfully captured the ammunition depot hoarded by the appeasement army in Tong County."
"If more than two thousand mortar shells had not been seized in Tong County, Huang Yu would not have been able to so easily inflict serious damage on Beiping Airport and Gangcun Ningji's reinforcements mobilized from various places."
"The entire operation is linked to each other. If any link goes wrong, Okamura Neji will not be led by his nose."
"When Okamura Neiji learns the true identity of the Peiping Guerrilla Detachment in the future and knows that he is being tricked by a young man in his twenties, he will definitely be so angry that he vomits blood on the spot."
The deputy chief of staff replied with a smile: "I don't know whether he vomited blood or not, but I know that old devil Okamura Neji still hasn't realized that he has been fooled."
"Five thousand elites transferred back from Baoding have been guarding Fangshan, trying to trap the Peiping guerrilla detachment in the mountain."
"Little did they know that Huang Yu had returned to Shunping. Except for three guerrillas, there was no main force of the Eighth Route Army in the mountains they surrounded."
"Huang Yu left enough food, weapons and ammunition for the three guerrillas. The Japanese will not affect them even if they are trapped for a year."
The deputy commander put down the telegram and looked at the Pingjin map on the table for analysis: "I used to think that Peiping was the headquarters of the North China Front and it was heavily defended. In addition, the troops did suffer two big losses there, so I never dared to go there. develop."
"Huang Yu's long-distance attack gave me hope that we can extend our tentacles to Peking."
"Do you still remember the bold idea that Kong Jie proposed to us before he took office in the Duer Regiment?"
"Surprise Tianjin, capture the Tianjin Pier, and seize all the weapons, ammunition and supplies that the Japanese army hoarded at the terminal!" the deputy chief of staff remembered clearly and answered seriously while looking at the map.
"That's the idea!" The deputy commander nodded.
"I used to think this was a fantasy and the possibility of success was almost zero, but I no longer think so."
"Huang Yu managed to fool Neji Okamura with just one reinforced battalion. If he was given two or three regiments of troops, he would definitely be able to capture the Tianjin Pier."
