The Japs finally noticed the 882nd Regiment. The Japs starting from Lingshi Stronghold headed straight for Black Spring Town.
First company commander Xiong Jun is holding a counter-mopping deployment meeting, with all the main backbones of the company participating.
The first company is very scattered. The second platoon, artillery platoon and company headquarters are stationed in the town, the first platoon is stationed in Wangcun, and the third platoon is mainly developed in Caozhuang and Chencun. All platoon leaders have arrived.
"Comrades, according to Lingshi, the Japs dispatched more than 300 Japs, and with the cooperation of more than 200 puppet troops, they went straight to Heiquan Town. The Japs were divided into two groups this time. The main target was Heiquan Town, and the other group was It is the Wangcun base area.
At present, the troops we can gather include 328 people in the second platoon and artillery platoon, more than 500 people in the first platoon, and more than 300 people in the third platoon. The total force is about 1,200 people. Let me know how to fight specifically. "
As soon as Xiong Jun finished speaking, platoon leader Deng Wu took over and said:
"Although the Japs rushed to Black Spring Town with great momentum and divided their troops into two groups, it seems that they do not understand the strength of our company, otherwise they would not be so arrogant;
Under normal circumstances, the Japanese dispatched two squadrons to deal with one of our companies, and they already attached great importance to us. They even thought it was killing a chicken with a knife. We could just take advantage of the Japanese's lack of understanding of our strength and plot against them. Teach them a lesson! "
Xiong Jun nodded and motioned for Deng Wu to continue. Deng Wu cleared his throat and continued:
"We concentrated our main force to set up an ambush position outside Linquan Town, and used our troops to block attacks one after another to show the enemy's weakness, lead them into the ambush position, and then make their dumplings!"
It has to be said that since the independent development of the platoon, Deng Wu has grown very quickly and quickly came up with a feasible plan. This is also a common combat method for independent brigades;
Showing the enemy's weakness, luring the enemy deep enough to regroup and annihilate them. The main force of the company, which consisted of more than 1,200 people, outnumbered the Japanese and puppet troops by nearly 2.5 to 1. It was a surprise, and it was indeed possible to trick the Japanese, but it would be difficult to annihilate them all.
Xiong Jun looked at Wu Lei, the second platoon leader. This guy had a lot of clever ideas for fighting. He wanted to hear Wu Lei's opinion again.
When Wu Lei saw the company commander looking at him, he happened to have a plan in mind, so he said:
"Lao Deng's plan is indeed good, but I think this dumpling is a little too thin and too filling. Even if we can really win with a troop ratio of less than 3 to 1, our company will suffer many casualties. It is not cost-effective, and it is easy to survive." Expose our strength early;
This time we have reached our limit against more than 300 Japs. If the Japs know that we have more than 1,000 main troops, the next time they come may be a large group! "
Wu Lei's words made Xiong Jun and Deng Wu think deeply. It must be said that Wu Lei took a longer-term view.
Xiong Jun motioned for Wu Lei to continue. Obviously, he had been persuaded by Wu Lei. Even Deng Wu also felt that his plan was a bit too direct. The Japs were very powerful. With less than 3:1 troops to make dumplings, it was really possible to survive. Broken dumpling skin.
"Old Wu, if you have a good plan, just tell me. My plan can easily be cooked into rice with uncooked rice."
Deng Wu first expressed his position. This is the pattern of the Eighth Route Army's grassroots commanders. Military democracy is not just formal. The most important thing is to discuss the best plan. It is not that I can't object if you say it.
Wu Lei nodded to Deng Wu and continued:
"Can we increase the pace of luring the enemy deeper? Put the main force of the Japanese into Heiquan Town, induce the Japanese to divide their forces to attack Wangcun, Caozhuang, etc., use the tunnels and mine arrays in the base area to hold back the Japanese, and consume their troops. weapon;
Then send a unit to sneak attack on the Lingshi stronghold, and the main force will set up pocket formations to surround the point for reinforcements. By the way, they will capture the Lingshi stronghold and give the Japanese a harsh lesson.
This way at least you don’t have to worry about being beaten into raw rice. If you fight the enemy in a decisive battle from the beginning and the enemy bursts the dumpling wrapper, you will be in trouble;
Once the main force suffers too many casualties, the Japanese can arbitrarily raid our base areas. "
Sanpai Changfang Jianshu wanted to know more and said:
"I agree with Lao Wu's plan. The Japanese are now like a wild bull, encircling and annihilating them by force, and they may be gored by the horns in the belly;
I can understand Lao Deng's plan. Letting the Japanese into the base area will cause too much damage, but it is better for us to take the initiative to let the Japanese in now than to come in again if they burst our belly!
Besides, we have been building a defense system in the base area in order to one day be able to cope with the brutal raids of the Japanese;
This time there are more than 300 Japs. They can withstand them by force, but the casualties will definitely not be small. Next time the Japs send 500 or even 1,000 people over, what should we use to resist them?
The base area will have to take this step sooner or later, so it is better to practice with these hundreds of Japanese soldiers, so as not to be in a hurry when facing a thousand Japanese soldiers at once. "
Fang Jianshu's words sounded cruel to the soldiers and civilians in the base area, but they did make sense. It was easier to adapt to a few hundred Japanese than one or two thousand.
"I also agree with Wu Lei's plan!"
Deng Wu also followed Fang Jianshu in expressing his stance.
Artillery platoon leader Ye Fan also voted in favor of Wu Lei. Seeing that several old guys had reached a consensus, Xiong Jun decided to adopt Wu Lei's plan.
"Comrades, since the Japs are to be released into Heiquan Town, the fellow villagers in Heiquan Town must be evacuated into the mountains, and the second platoon will be responsible for covering them, leaving an empty town to the Japs.
In addition to leaving dozens of people in the third platoon to assist the militia in counter-mopping up, the main force marched at night in Xiaofu. After the main force of the Japanese invaded Wangcun, they sent troops to sneak attack on the Lingshi stronghold. The main force of the first row lurked. When the Japanese rescued Lingshi, The machine ambush the Japanese reinforcements.
Each platoon sent a small number of troops to harass the Japs and try to blow up the Japs' baggage..."
After the meeting, all the people in the company started moving, and more than 3,000 fellow villagers in Heiquan Town also began to evacuate in an orderly manner. The movements in Heiquan Town were not hidden from the Japanese, and soon reached the ears of Captain Guankou. There were many in the town. There are always some people who are the spies of the Japanese who like to betray their ancestors.
"Yo Xi, Otani-kun, the people on Tuba Road can only run away. There is a saying in China that monks who can run away cannot run away from the temple. The imperial army first occupied Black Spring Town, and then the main force went straight to Wangcun!
What the imperial army wants is food. This time, all their food will be taken away. Those who dare to resist will work to death. "
Captain Otani very much agreed with Sekiguchi's plan. The people in China were very poor, and he was not very interested in the poor people in the town who had nothing to eat.
Wangcun is different. They have just harvested a lot of food. During the war, the food will be much better!
"Yo Xi, Mr. Guankou, I heard that the Wang family in Wangcun not only has a large amount of food, but also has accumulated wealth for a hundred years. This time they colluded with the Eighth Route Army to resist the imperial army's food requisition policy. They must be taught a big lesson. "
Captain Otani's words spoke to Captain Sekiguchi's heart. The reason why he chose Wangcun was because he went to the Wang family. What did those poor people who couldn't even eat have anything to rob?
Captain Sekiguchi nodded and said:
"What Mr. Otani said is absolutely true. The Wang family has been too shameless recently. Previously, I saw that they respected the imperial army and were willing to build the imperial paradise with the imperial army, so they were allowed to retain a large amount of wealth;
Now they actually dare to collude with the Eighth Route Army, their conscience is greatly damaged——"
"Boom! Boom! Boom"
Several huge explosions came, interrupting Captain Sekiguchi's conversation. Sekiguchi jumped off his tall horse quickly and made a standard tactical evasive action. He had a strong sense of life-saving.
After a few minutes, Sekiguchi saw that there was no danger anymore, so he asked loudly:
"What kind of work?"
