Ding, the Ping An Military Police Brigade dispatched a brigade as reinforcements, targeting Zhaojiayu.
Ding, the Heyuan City Gendarmerie Brigade dispatched a brigade as reinforcements, targeting Zhaojiayu.
Ding, the Shicheng Garrison Command dispatched reinforcements from the 139th Regiment and the Artillery Team, targeting Zhaojiayu.
The intelligence news of the incoming reinforcements from three groups of Japs suddenly changed Gao Jianwu's whereabouts.
Watanabe Yuuji and each brigade have radios, and the communication with the Japs is never cut off. At this moment, the intelligence system suddenly feeds back the latest intelligence from the Japs (after the intelligence upgrade, it begins to provide intelligence on the brigade level and above in the base area). Apparently Yuji Watanabe had already sent a message via telegram.
The five brigades of Japs, plus the remaining troops that Yuuji Watanabe has now broken out of, are already a brigade!
The war has begun to escalate!
This information made Gao Jianwu lead the team back to Zhaojiayu without hesitation.
There is no doubt that the little devil has not given up yet. Perhaps under the promotion of Yuji Watanabe, the second round of "mopping up" has begun and the scale is even larger. Under this circumstance, the originally speculated movements of Yuji Watanabe are questionable.
However, on the way back, Gao Jianwu quickly thought about how to discuss this matter with the group leader and committee members. After all, this turn of events was too steep, and the source of the change in intelligence was indeed a bit unclear.
...
"Boy Gao, why are you back?" Li Yunlong looked at Gao Jianwu who had returned in surprise.
"Captain, chief executive, I think there is a fourth possibility, that is, the old Japs Watanabe Yuuji is now using himself as a bait, swimming in the mountains, luring our main force to dispatch, and calling out the Japs from other areas. They are still preparing to attack Zhaojiayu. They are surrounding our independent regiment in this area and trying to annihilate us. Look..."
Gao Jianwu picked up a pencil, marked "X" in three places on the map, and then used pencil drawing to draw three attack routes starting from these three places, and drew the offensive posture of the three groups of Japs on the map.
This time both Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang understood.
"Is the kid so ruthless?" Li Yunlong's eyes shrank. He had to say that if the kid was ruthless and concentrated the military power of these three places forming a triangle, he would form another attack group of the size of a coalition to launch an attack. .
Joining forces with the fleeing Yuji Watanabe, judging from previous combat experience, the three main battalions of the Independent Regiment alone will definitely not be able to stop them.
"Old Li, I think there is a possibility. This old boy Yuuji Watanabe has just fought a bloody battle with us, and he has a clearer picture of our details. If he calls these three places this time, he enemies, especially the 139th Regiment in Shicheng. This is the Little Japanese Field Division Regiment. The artillery under its jurisdiction is a brigade, usually 1 Type 99 105mm mountain artillery squadron, and 2 Type 91 105mm mountain artillery squadrons. Field artillery squadron, a total of 12 105mm cannons!"
The Type 41 75mm mountain gun is already a top-notch product for Li Yunlong now, and now there is an even more powerful 105mm mountain gun. For the Eighth Route Army at this time, there is no doubt that all of them are the ceiling of artillery. .
To criticize the independent group with such a lineup, even with the exception of the Dagushan Guerrilla Brigade, it is too high a view of the independent group.
"Boy Gao, how likely do you think this is?" Li Yunlong looked at Gao Jianwu solemnly, "You must know that this 139th Regiment cannot be commanded by Shinozuka Yoshio."
Shicheng does not belong to the First Army of the Little Japs, so naturally Shinozuka Yoshio has no command authority.
Now if he comes out to attack Zhao Jiayu of the Independent Regiment, it will be equivalent to a cross-defense battle.
"Captain, I think the possibility is very high, at least more than 80%." Gao Jianwu replied without hesitation. He was joking, even the fools had issued a warning, it was already a certainty.
But now Gao Jianwu is talking about speculation, so naturally he can't be full.
"Captain, the radio station next to Yuuji Watanabe is still there, so we can't rule out that he exchanges information with other little devils through the radio and sends back information about the heavy losses of the independent regiment. In this case, we can The kidnappers around the base area are very likely to send kidnappers from the nearest places to carry out a second sweep."
"This type of joint combat mode is not uncommon at the junction of two defense zones. I think it is very likely that the Japs will come."
"Jianwu is right. There is no problem with the Japs in cross-regional joint operations. And I think there are some factors that we don't know about, otherwise the Japs wouldn't be able to move so fast."
Zhao Gang also echoed.
He naturally knows something about several important surrounding Japanese central cities. The Ninth Brigade and the 110th Division are the most important enemies in the surrounding areas. The relevant basic information has been reported to Zhao Gang by leaders at his level. The independent regiment usually operates around Ping'an County. The familiar enemies are at the squadron and brigade levels, and those above the brigade are out of reach.
Unexpectedly, this time not only did they attract a powerful enemy such as the Watanabe Task Force, but they also started to initiate raids at the level of the Little Japanese Brigade.
I really don’t know whether I should be proud or consider myself unlucky.
"Boy Gao, what do you think we should do?" Li Yunlong stared at Gao Jianwu with bright eyes, wanting to hear what the most spiritual general under his command thought.
"To block reinforcements at every step, attack Watanabe first!" Gao Jianwu simply expressed his thoughts.
"Ping An's reinforcements will pass through the Xinyi Regiment's station. We have already sent people to notify Commander Ding. Now we will send people to notify Commander Ding to block them for at least 12 hours."
"As for the Heyuan reinforcements, they will definitely pass by the 358th Regiment's station. For this, we need to ask the regiment commander to write a written request to the 358th Regiment to stop them for at least 6 hours."
"As for us, we must find and annihilate the remaining strength of Yuji Watanabe in the shortest possible time, at least within 6 hours, to prevent him from becoming a strategic node and key point for the center to bloom!" Gao Jianwu continued.
"If the Japs carry out the second sweep according to my speculation just now, they must want to rely on Yuji Watanabe's center to flourish. If Yuji Watanabe is completely wiped out, and the Ping An and Heyuan reinforcements are blocked by us, then the remaining 139 The alliance must either retreat on its own or face the pressure of our independent regiment alone.”
"I think in that case, the commander of the 139th Wing would not be so stupid and continue to break in and be besieged by us. After all, Task Force Watanabe has already learned from their mistakes."
Gao Jianwu's statement is reasonable.
Although the little devil must now want to annihilate the independent regiment whose main force has been combined, and use superior forces to conduct a complete decisive battle.
But they must have this strength. In a hurry, the surrounding troops they can use are already at their limit based on the current map.
You must know that this is not a small-scale military operation of a squadron or a brigade. Basically, you can just leave.
In a battle at the regiment level, whether it is the provision of weapons and ammunition or the assembly of troops, advance planning is required.
Otherwise, it would be a very big problem for thousands of people to eat, drink, drink, and supply ammunition.
