"We now have the strength of almost a regiment. If we fight well, we can hold back three times the number of Japanese troops. That is almost the strength of a Japanese regiment."
Zhang Min expressed great confidence in this.
"We mainly fight guerrilla warfare, mobile warfare, and ambush warfare. If the Japanese want to block us, they can't even think about it without sending three times more troops."
"Let's make trouble for him during this period, and divide the team into multiple guerrilla teams to fight, so that the little devil can worry about the front and not the back."
"If we fight well, we can even hold back five times more Japanese troops."
Han Feng shook his head:
"It's not enough. It's far from enough. If we just hold back four or five thousand Japs, it won't have much effect on our Taihang base area."
As he said that, Han Feng picked up a branch and counted on the ground:
"Based on the best case scenario, our three mountain companies can hold back five times the Japanese army. Let's count it as 5,000 Japanese troops here!"
"And this has a premise, that is, the Japanese can't tolerate our existence, so these five thousand Japanese will often carry out raids and encirclements on us."
"But what if the Japs are determined to consolidate their forces to deal with our Taihang base first, but they just can't hold on to the occupied areas around Zhongtiao Mountain?"
"With the strong fortifications of the county, abundant ammunition, and excellent equipment, the Japs only need two thousand people to defend our attack. Coupled with the cooperation of the puppet army and traitors, even fewer troops may be needed."
Du Zhongcheng clenched his fists and said: "Then take the initiative. Whether it is to concentrate on attacking the county town, or to send combat units to make a big fuss in the county town, it will always arouse the anger and uneasiness of the Japs, and make the Japs feel that their troops are too few. It is impossible to maintain law and order in the Zhongtiao Mountain area."
Han Feng nodded in agreement, "That's indeed what happened. If we do this, the Japanese will not let us just watch."
"So even if we can hold back five thousand Japanese troops."
Zhang Mindao: "The national army on the south bank of the Yellow River should be able to hold back some of them."
"Three thousand Japs, no more!"
Han Feng said decisively, drew a plus sign behind "five thousand" on the ground, and wrote "three thousand".
Zhang Min hesitated and said: "Old Han, although the national army was defeated, there are not a few troops south of the Yellow River. They can only hold back three thousand Japanese troops. That's less, right?"
Han Feng snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Three thousand Japanese troops, almost the strength of three brigades. This is already a great compliment to them."
"In the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, the Chinese army suffered a disastrous defeat and lost all their energy. In addition, under our guidance not long ago, the Chinese army took advantage of the scarcity of ammunition for the Japanese army in Zhongtiao Mountain and launched a tentative attack. As a result, nearly One regiment. The national army has suffered such a big loss, how can they dare to attack Zhongtiao Mountain easily again?"
"Ten thousand steps back, even if the sun comes out in the west, the Chinese army is really determined to attack Zhongtiao Mountain again."
"The Japanese army used the Yellow River as a natural barrier. The three Japanese brigades, guess how many people they can block the national army?"
The cadres were silent, apparently accepting Han Feng's analysis that the national army could only hold back three thousand Japanese troops.
"As for the remaining nationalist guerrillas in the Zhongtiao Mountain area, they can hold back a thousand Japanese troops."
Han Feng wrote on the ground with branches and calculated:
"Then five thousand plus three thousand plus one thousand, that is to say, under normal circumstances, our remaining Chinese troops in the Zhongtiao Mountain area can only hold back eight thousand Japanese troops."
"This is still an exaggerated estimate."
"The original three divisions of the Japanese army stationed in Zhongtiao Mountain were all relatively elite B divisions. Each division had about 15,000 troops, and the total strength was about 45,000. We only delayed To live with eight thousand troops is a drop in the bucket."
After this analysis, the cadres were all shocked.
Zhang Min said bitterly: "Old Han, after talking for a long time, our troops are too small and we have no reinforcements. If we try our best, we can hold back eight thousand Japanese soldiers, but what use can they do?"
"But the Japanese are withdrawing their troops every day, waiting for the main reinforcements from the Taihang base area to arrive, and the day lilies are getting cold..."
I saw the cadres looking lonely. Han Feng suddenly laughed, "No, of course it can be of great use. Actually, I have another way."
"Old Han, please stop being so pretentious. I know you are full of bad ideas, so you must have an idea!" Zhang Min said with a surprised look on his face.
Han Feng: "..."
He smiled and said: "Old Zhang, are you praising me? Or are you hurting me?"
Hahaha--
"Of course I'm praising you. We all have to praise you for being able to mess with the Japanese." Zhang Minle said.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Han Feng, waiting for his next words.
Han Feng's expression became firm and dignified.
first sentence:
"Comrades, this is our last resort, but I have to tell you in advance. Once this method is implemented, we will face a lot of hardships. We will not only sweat, but may even bleed."
A platoon leader said: "Captain Han, we are not afraid of losing our heads, so why are we afraid of bleeding?"
"that is--"
The cadres responded in unison, each with firm eyes and a look at death.
Du Zhongcheng echoed: "I'm not afraid of the hardships, but I'm afraid of not being able to find a solution. Old Han, don't talk about it all.
Since we comrades chose this revolutionary cause, which of us comrades has not been prepared to sacrifice at any time? "
Han Feng looked at all the cadres and nodded heavily: "Okay!"
Then the conversation changed and Han Feng said bluntly: "This method is very simple to say. It mainly focuses on our two legs and these feet."
Seeing that the cadres were a little confused, Han Feng continued to draw a schematic diagram on the ground:
"Comrades, since our mountain company arrived in Zhongtiao Mountain to fight guerrilla warfare, we have traveled almost all over the mountainous area of Zhongtiao Mountain in order to deal with the little Japs."
"The terrain of Zhongtiao Mountain is very peculiar. It is long and narrow, running northeast and southwest, like a cucumber tilted over."
"So from the northeast corner to the southwest corner, the length of this cucumber is almost 160 kilometers, and the width of the cucumber is between ten and fifteen kilometers."
He continued to draw on the ground, and sure enough, he drew the entire Zhongtiao Mountain like a cucumber, and drew three points on it:
"Qingshan Village is located in the middle hinterland of Zhongtiao Mountain, which is where the main force of our mountain company is currently stationed."
"This is Dashu Village, located at the top area of the southwest of Zhongtiao Mountain, corresponding to the Furukawa Village in the top area of the northeast."
"These three villages have our mass base, and some militia units have been formed in the villages."
"The specific method, the key point, is to have our troops appear from these three locations at the same time, and directly expose the strength of one of our regiments. The firepower also needs to be partially exposed, and blatantly attack the Guizi County."
"And tell the Japanese army in detail that it is our Eighth Route Army troops who are attacking this time. The little devil knows better than anyone about the combat effectiveness and destructive power of our Eighth Route Army, and is more afraid than anyone else."
“Our three regiments in three locations, plus the help of militiamen, and even some local troops and people, can even simulate a force of nearly 2,000 people.
The Japanese will therefore make a wrong judgment and believe that there are at least more than 6,000 main combat troops of the Eighth Route Army in the Zhongtiao Mountain area. "
"Under such circumstances, how many Japanese troops do you think we can hold back?"
The words fell.
All the cadres stared blankly.
If this step can be achieved, at least the main force of the Eighth Route Army will be more than 6,000.
The Japs in Zhongtiao Mountain are afraid that they will have nightmares even when they sleep.
This guy Lao Han really dares to think.
"It's just, Old Han, is this impossible? Three locations appear at the same time, and we only have a force of 1,200 people.
Even if the militia and local comrades are added, it is still far from reaching this standard. Can the little devil be fooled? " Zhang Min hesitated.
Han Feng smiled brightly.
"So, what we have to do is to create this illusion for the devils, and if we want to create this illusion for the devils, we can only rely on our feet."
His words became firm, decisive, and frantic.
"The middle section from Qingshan Village to Dashu Village and Guhe Village is 80 kilometers each. Together, it is almost the length of the entire Zhongtiao Mountain."
"The mountain road is steep and difficult to navigate. From the perspective of the little devil, all the mobility of our guerrilla troops lies on two legs."
"But if a regiment of Eighth Route Army troops suddenly appeared in the direction of Guhe Village at dusk, and directly exposed more than two thousand troops, powerful equipment, and crazy firepower, they stormed the Jaap County town in Guhe Village."
"At dawn the next day, another force of more than 2,000 people suddenly appeared in the direction of Qingshan Village and also launched a massive attack on Guizi County."
"That afternoon, another main battle group of the Eighth Route Army appeared in the direction of Dashu Village and attacked the county towns."
"In one day and one night, a front of nearly 160 kilometers was drawn out."
"Comrades, do you think that in this case, the conventional judgment made by the Japanese army is that the same Eighth Route Army unit ran 160 kilometers in one day and fought in three places."
"Or should we say that the Zhongtiao Mountain area has a main regiment combat unit of the Eighth Route Army in each of the three directions of Dashu Village, Qingshan Village, and Guhe Village?"
"What would happen if we carried out a few more strikes midway to confuse the Japanese army's judgment?"
A mind-blowing question.
In the difficult and dangerous mountainous area, there is no mechanized equipment that can be used in the city.
With only two feet, he traveled 160 kilometers a day and a night.
Even at the fastest speed of emergency march, it is ten kilometers per hour.
This also means within a twenty hour day and night.
The soldiers had to march continuously for up to sixteen hours, taking into account combat and carrying weapons and equipment.
No matter how you look at it, this is almost impossible.
It can even be said to be a fantasy.
If this step can really be achieved, Zhang Ming, Du Zhongchen and others have no doubt that the Japanese army will definitely make the second judgment:
It is true that there are three regiments of the main force of the Eighth Route Army fighting on the third front.
What a crazy amount of attention!
In order to lighten the atmosphere, Zhang Min even joked with a smile: "Comrades, when I think about one hundred and sixty kilometers, my legs are already a little weak!"
Hahaha--
After the laughter, the eyes of the cadres became brighter than the last.
The tacit understanding of the eyes suddenly looked at each other, and everyone saw the determination and madness in each other's eyes.
Isn’t that just running for sixteen hours straight!
Isn’t it just a steep and steep mountain climb!
Isn’t it just one hundred and sixty kilometers?
For the great revolutionary cause, for Taihang's roots to be given an extra period of development, for not to be slaves to the subjugation of the country, for the 40 million Chinese compatriots, for...
"Fight!!!"
The cadres spoke decisively in unison...
