Gao Jianwu had to terminate his studies and leave in a hurry without completing the courses at the Anti-Japanese University.
Because he received the latest intelligence updates in the base area, a new round of raids by the Japs is coming!
The intelligence simply showed that the Ninth Brigade launched a special raid against the independent regiment seven days later. The main force to be raided was the "Watanabe Task Force" and consisted of more than 3,500 people.
According to the organization of the little Japanese, this Watanabe task force can be regarded as the size of a fully formed regiment.
This is really looking up to the independent group.
It was impossible for Gao Jianwu to miss such a battle, so he immediately asked for leave and returned to his base. The commando team was divided into six. Gao Jianwu took four team members as forwards and returned day and night. The remaining teams protected about twenty newly recruited talents and returned to Dagushan in batches.
...
A few days later, the headquarters of the Zhao Jiayu Independent Regiment welcomed Gao Jianwu and his party, who were tired of the journey.
"Captain, would you like to have a big business opportunity to eat fat?" Gao Jianwu shouted to Li Yunlong as soon as he entered the door.
He knew Li Yunlong's habit and went straight to the point.
"Boy Gao, didn't you say that you went to the border area to study, why are you back now?" Li Yunlong, who was looking at the map, heard Gao Jianwu's voice and looked up at him.
"What kind of big deal is this? You Dagushan can't even eat it." He was confused, but when he heard about eating meat, he, Li Yunlong, was not a vegetarian.
"Captain, is a little devil who is reorganizing a regiment fat enough?" Gao Jianwu said with a smile.
Li Yunlong's eyes shrank.
Gao Jianwu thought highly of him too much. Although it was not that the independent regiment had never encountered the little devils at the alliance level, it was a breakout!
Being surrounded by people, I had no choice but to fight for my life.
Now Gao Jianwu seems to be a little distracted. He actually dared to talk about eating meat against the little Japs from the previous regiment!
"Come, tell me what's going on." Li Yunlong asked calmly.
Gao Jianwu has the guts to do it, what does Li Yunlong fear?
"Captain, I received information that two days later, the Ninth Brigade of the Little Devils recently formed the Watanabe Task Force and deployed nearly 3,500 Little Devils to prepare for the encirclement and suppression of our independent regiment. The first target should be Zhao Jiayu!"
Gao Jianwu pointed at the map, "Currently our information only has the target and scale of the enemy's raids. Other detailed information has not been received yet. However, according to my estimation, the kid's plan is to come to Zhao Jiayu first. After all, this is the independent regiment headquarters that the kid is familiar with. Yamamoto Kazuki led his special agent team to conduct a sneak attack last time, and there was no problem in finding us."
"Time is running out now. Even if we evacuate the people in the base area, there is nowhere to go in this winter. The little devils are so eager to come out this time. It should be because we stabbed them hard in Pingcheng and Wanjia Town not long ago. Relationship. It’s for revenge, and it’s also for regaining the place.”
Gao Jianwu conducted many deductions and analyzes on the way to this unconventional raid on the Japs, and basically surmised why the intelligence showed that the raid was carried out by the Ninth Brigade.
After all, the Dagushan base area is under the name of the Independent Regiment. The little devil Kawada Mitsuo of the Ninth Brigade has been struggling for so long, and he probably figured out that the Independent Regiment is their target. After all, if we talk about sending a coalition-level task force to deal with a mere guerrilla brigade.
Then Kawada will soon become the laughing stock of the upper echelons of the Japs.
Killing a chicken with a bull's-eye won't bring you a good reputation.
On the contrary, it will expose the scandal of their ninth brigade's repeated losses of troops and generals.
The Pingcheng Military Police Brigade was almost completely wiped out, and the Mianshan Fortress also lost nearly two squadrons. Kawada Mitsuo suppressed the news and did not report it to the North China Command, otherwise his good days would probably be over.
So Mitsuo Kawada did his best to mobilize the "Watanabe Task Force" and took this opportunity to take down the independent group in one fell swoop!
Gao Jianwu didn't know that Mitsuo Kawada had spent a lot of money this time, investing almost most of the ninth brigade's wealth.
Two mountain artillery squadrons under the direct command of the task force with 8 Type 41 mountain guns, 3 infantry artillery squadrons with 12 92 infantry guns reinforced by three brigades, and 3 Type 94 90mm temporarily reinforced by three brigades. Artillery Squadron 12 mortars.
A total of 32 large-caliber artillery pieces!
This is the eight-way artillery firepower reported by Mitsuo Kawada against Katsuki Horuchi. It has been specially strengthened and targeted. The eight Type 41 mountain guns are not comparable to the mortars of Gao Jianwu's Dagushan guerrillas.
Generally speaking, this scale is basically a luxury lineup formed for main brigades such as the 386th Brigade.
Now it is used on the independent regiment, that is, after Mitsuo Kawada was reported to the battle by Katsuki Horuchi, he decided to deploy it based on the enemy's leniency.
The commander of the task force, Yuuji Watanabe, was a classmate of Major General Mitsuo Kawada at the University of China. He knew everything about him. He served as a commander of a certain regiment in the Mongolian Army for 4 years. He had always had bad luck and did not win any military honors, so he always Not promoted to major general.
This time, Mitsuo Kawada took the opportunity to eliminate the independent regiment and asked Yuji Watanabe to be transferred from the army stationed in Mongolia to Jin to serve as his chief of staff and the commander of the mopping up task force.
It can be said that this is Mitsuo Kawada's attempt to sell iron and serve a big dish to the independent group!
But from Gao Jianwu's point of view, if we estimate the strength of the Little Devils according to the conventional alliance, now the independent group plus Dagushan do have the capital to eat meat.
Apart from anything else, Gao Jianwu initially supplied the two infantry guns, four 90mm mortars, six 81mm mortars, and four 92 heavy machine guns to the independent regiment. One infantry cannon and two 90mm mortars were acquired, but the remaining nine cannons and four heavy machine guns allowed Li Yunlong to form a new firepower battalion.
After this period of fighting, the firepower battalion directly under the independent regiment has developed into an artillery battery of 2 infantry guns, 6 90mm mortars, a heavy machine gun battery of 6 92 heavy machine guns, and a machine gun battery of 9 light machine guns. Even strong firepower.
Six 81mm mortars were distributed to the battalion level. Each battalion had two 81mm mortars, plus 2 to 4 heavy machine guns captured by the battalion. The firepower of the battalion was also completely transformed.
Although it is still a bit far away from Gao Jianwu's mortars reaching the platoon level and machine guns reaching the squad, it is a huge difference from before.
The independent regiment has three main battalions and one firepower battalion. Now it has more than a thousand troops. Including the surrounding guerrillas, there are more than 4,000 people!
Therefore, after Gao Jianwu understood the strength of the independent regiment, he compared the equipment of the regular Little Devils regiment. From this point of view, the advantage in this battle lies with me!
Therefore, Chief Gao Jian was at home this time and gave the Watanabe Task Force a sparrow battle + position battle package, wiping out the entire Watanabe Task Force in Zhao Jiayu!
As long as this piece of fat is eaten, the independent group will be completely developed this time.
3500 little devil's super explosive equipment bonus is 50%, just thinking about it makes me drool!
