What happened next proved Ding Wei's foresight.
Shortly after Ding Wei led the team to set off, the station came to the Signal Corps and reported to Ding Wei: "Report to the regimental commander, news came from the brigade headquarters that the Yamazaki Brigade has been completely wiped out by the independent regiment at Lijiapo."
"good!"
Ding Weiwei was overjoyed, but at the same time he felt a little emotional: "The rapid destruction of the Yamazaki Brigade is definitely good news for our army. This guy Lao Li has gained another battle in vain. Speaking of which, Lao Kong has nothing to do with Lao Li. There’s really nothing to say.”
"Let's not talk about this. In short, this is a happy thing. The destruction of Yamazaki Brigade means that the big sweep in the near future may be easier to deal with than we thought."
A battalion commander asked: "Commander, what do you mean by this?"
Ding Wei smiled and said: "We have been fighting the Japanese army for many years. Haven't you noticed that although this little devil used troops to advance rashly, he was also extra cautious in his bold advance.
Before every major sweep, the Japanese army would actually conduct a thorough assessment of our base area.
What to estimate? Estimate the strength level of the Eighth Route Army in our base area.
In the Jizhong Military Region, when I was the commander of the 28th Regiment, the little devils even dared to use a squadron of troops to rashly penetrate into our base in Jizhong to conduct raids and tests.
As long as we cannot eliminate this Japanese squadron that has penetrated deep into our base area within a short period of time, Japanese reinforcements will arrive soon to rescue this Japanese squadron.
And if you think this is the end, you are completely wrong. Through this test, the little devil already knows that the strength of a squadron is enough to give our Eighth Route Army a headache. Even if it goes deep into the hinterland of the Eighth Route Army, it will not be defeated in a short time. was easily eliminated within.
Therefore, in the subsequent large-scale sweep, the Japanese army will divide the smallest marching unit for the sweep into squadron-sized units.
Because the little devil is confident that even with the strength of a squadron, the Eighth Route Army cannot quickly eliminate it. In addition, during the large-scale raids, the Japanese army launched a large-scale encirclement and suppression campaign. The connections between the troops are closer, and reinforcements can arrive at any time, so in this way The Japanese squadron is even less likely to be eaten by us. "
"At this time, if you think about it from another angle, the Japanese army's force for encirclement and suppression is limited. If the minimum unit is smaller, the net they cast will be denser, leaving us with more space to break through. The gap will be smaller, which is quite unfavorable for our counter-sweeping."
"But if all this were reversed, if our Jizhong base area could kill this Japanese squadron with lightning speed, the little Japanese would be frightened, and they would realize that the strength of one squadron is not enough to deal with the Eighth Route Army. The base area will even be easily wiped out by the Eighth Route Army."
"So, when they launch a subsequent large-scale sweep, they will divide the smallest marching units into squadrons or above, such as the brigade level. In this way, the mesh of the large net they sweep will be much larger, leaving only a few gaps for us to break out. Much bigger.”
The first battalion commander suddenly said: "Captain, I understand. So this time we quickly killed the Yamazaki brigade, and the Japanese reinforcements did not even have time to support us. Does this mean that if the Japanese army launches a large-scale raid soon, they will carry out a raid." The smallest marching unit was at least a Japanese brigade, or even higher."
"In this way, when the Japs have limited troops, the gaps in their sweeping net will be wider, and we can even easily break out with our troops."
Ding Wei said: "Yes, that's the truth."
"Then Deputy Commander Li and the others have really made a great contribution this time."
Ding Wei nodded, "Yes, although I don't know how Lao Kong and Lao Li were able to kill the Yamazaki Brigade in such a short period of time, but I guess that the battle process will be very complicated." Wonderful."
"Okay, leave them alone. With such a big stage in our base, we can't let the two of them take the limelight."
"The scouts spread out two kilometers in advance to be alert to the movements of the Japanese troops at any time, and the follow-up ambush deployment was arranged as soon as possible."
"There are a lot of Japanese and puppet troops on our side. If we want to eliminate our opponents in one fell swoop, even if we use all the main force of the entire regiment, we will still be in a hard fight, and the casualties will be unavoidable and uncontrollable."
"In this way, our ambush is divided into four stages, arranged in echelons, and blocked layer by layer."
"The first stage ambush and the second stage ambush do not need to be equipped with excessive troops and firepower. They mainly serve to harass and block the enemy. In addition, they are used to show the enemy's weakness and gradually paralyze the vigilance of the Japanese and puppet troops."
"As for the third stage of the ambush, strengthening the appropriate amount of troops and firepower to mislead the judgment of the Japanese and puppet troops will be our final main deployment."
"Until the last stage of the ambush, that's when our new regiment fully opened its fangs and fought against the Japanese army."
The commander of the first battalion said happily: "Commander, this segmented blockade is generally arranged into three sections. It's good for you to add an extra section!"
Ding Wei smiled and said: "You have also seen it. Even you can think of three stages of blocking, can't the little devil think of it?"
"After encountering the first two ambushes, the Japanese army must have thought that the third ambush they encountered would inevitably be the Eighth Route Army's last major attack."
"But if that's what you kid thinks, I just won't do it. Although the troops and firepower are strengthened in this third section, because the ambush in the first and second sections is particularly weak, it's easy for people to think that the third section is us. last resort."
"But in fact, our ambush and the real decisive battle with the Japs will be in the fourth ambush."
"What we need is to be able to fight with force without getting tired of deceit, and to defeat the Japanese and puppet troops by surprise."
"Yes!" the first battalion commander said convincingly. He was an old subordinate of Ding Wei for many years. He had just been transferred from the Jizhong Military Region to the new regiment not long ago. Naturally, he was very aware of his regiment commander's strategic vision and commanding ability.
Ding Wei thought for a while and then asked: "Remember, the first three stages of the ambush are mainly based on long-range firepower raids, including mines laid in advance, firepower sneak attacks, grenades thrown from both sides, and grenade firepower.
The commanders of each company and platoon must make sure that the second position is pre-selected before the ambush. Each unit must not be reluctant to fight. After the sneak attack is successful, they must quickly move to the second position with mobile warfare to avoid the Japanese artillery fire. The Japanese artillery fire has a high hit rate. As soon as our firepower point showed up, the Japanese artillery fire came over us. That was no joke. "
"Yes!" the battalion commander responded...
