"Even if we kill the 11th Brigade, the little devils still have very limited cards, and it will be difficult to send out heavy troops." Gao Jianwu shook his head, "Unless they give up the so-called mopping up, there are not many troops that Pingjin can mobilize now. Well, at most we can deploy an ordinary Japs division, plus a group of puppet troops and second-line guardsmen to form a mixed division, which is pretty good."
"What's more, the strength we showed today is almost equivalent to a division. Next time the little devils move step by step and prevent us from finding an opportunity for a sneak attack, then the decisive battle must be during the day when their fighter aircraft can be effective. If that happens, we will be passive ”
Li Yunlong was silent.
Gao Jianwu is absolutely right.
In fact, to be fair, after this battle, the three parties in Wucheng combined together are probably equivalent to the Little Japanese division at most.
In a head-to-head confrontation, the Japs still have air superiority. Let alone winning the battle, even a draw will have to rely on Gao Jianwu to find a way to explode the ammunition.
They are fighting alone here without any logistical supplies. In battles at the division level, logistical support is not as simple as capturing in small-scale battles.
If nothing else, just take the battle at hand. If Gao Jianwu hadn't intervened in the explosion, the ammunition captured would definitely be lower than the ammunition consumed.
It's great to have hundreds of artillery pieces firing at once, but it's also very draining. If a mortar fires shells quickly, a base number of shells will be exhausted.
As for the Japs' artillery, at least half of the ammunition was hit and exploded. With the overwhelming bombardment, who cared about which ammunition could not be shelled?
"If this is the case, how should we deal with it?" Li Yunlong thought for a while, and he was indeed a little out of his mind.
When it comes to fighting guerrillas near Ping'an, Li Yunlong is confident that he is very organized. He commands a regiment to attack a stronghold in the east and a local tycoon in the west. He accumulates weapons and ammunition like a prairie dog. In one year, he has one long rifle per capita and more than ten per capita. If you fire bullets, you can basically live a good life.
Being able to fire three or five mortars is tantamount to making a fortune.
But now Gao Jianwu takes him with him, and he can easily kill a brigade, and the seizures are usually enough for several main groups.
The troops he and Gao Jianwu now command are no worse than the two divisions that just came to Jin! You must know that the original establishment of the division was only two brigades and four regiments! Including super staff, there are only five or six groups.
But now Wucheng has more than twelve regiments that can meet the standard of the main force. Li Yunlong feels that he is completely overwhelmed when such a large force has to command a battle!
Fortunately, there is Gao Jianwu in front of us!
During this period, Li Yunlong kept silent, just wanting to learn something from Gao Jianwu's command.
Big head Li didn't grow such a big head in vain.
At this time, Li Yunlong has finally entered the threshold and seen something about large-scale corps operations.
At least, he knew that hiding the strength of the large corps was definitely not something he could do when the situation came to a close. You must make your move in advance.
However, what troubled Captain Li was that he still couldn't figure out how Gao Jianwu accurately predicted the whereabouts of the Japs.
I have a little sense of the opponent's idea of marching and camping, but if you want to predict the opponent as accurately as watching the opponent's march like Gao Jianwu, you can't even kill him.
"Of course we can't let the little devils just send troops to attack us so comfortably." Gao Jianwu smiled softly, but Li Yunlong couldn't see it at all.
"Captain, do you still remember the Jinpu detachment? When I went to Pingjin, I rescued a group of workers there and killed a regiment of little devils. I was able to pull the Jinpu detachment back. Its strength is not weaker than that of our battle group. In addition, a large number of weapons were seized, and several surrounding regiments were also replenished."
"Now is the time to let them move. Don't do anything else. Just attack a county town from time to time, attack at night, and retreat during the day. This way the little devils have no chance to encircle and suppress them with heavy troops."
"As soon as they started to move, the pressure from the little devils on Pingjin and Tianjin started. There was almost no way to stop the Jinpu detachment in the county. It was basically free for the little devils at the alliance level to go. Our intelligence system there can already provide accurate information. With intelligence support, the Jinpu detachment can be invincible."
Li Yunlong was shocked when he heard this. Gao Jianwu's thinking must be too unreasonable.
But after hearing what he said, there was nothing wrong with it at all.
If Gao Jianwu hadn't gone to Pingjin and Li Yunlong knew what he was going to do, he would now suspect that Gao Jianwu had planned it in advance. If this was true, it would be too scary.
But no.
Now Gao Jianwu just jumped out of Wucheng and looked at the entire war situation from a broad perspective in North China.
That’s why we have the ability to mobilize appropriate forces for cross-regional cooperation.
"You mean, the Jinpu detachment will also launch an attack at this time to directly contain the strength of a division of the Little Japanese?" Li Yunlong also has a certain understanding of the Jinpu detachment. That side is the eighth and ninth division of the Central Hebei Military Region. Now four The combat strength of the five main regiments also increased a lot after Gao Jianwu left.
The key is that Gao Jianwu, the walking logistics minister, has great supply capabilities. He captured a lot of weapons and ammunition after killing the Japs.
"That's right. Otherwise, it would be too difficult for us to face two divisions now." Gao Jianwu nodded.
"You can use a signal flare to order all the troops to press forward, and order a search in platoon units. Now the Japs cluster has basically been destroyed by artillery fire. At this moment, there are Japs stragglers everywhere in a radius of several kilometers." Gao Jianwu and Li Yunlong were chatting. Don’t forget to observe the battlefield.
When the messenger next to Gao Jianwu heard Gao Jianwu's order, he took out his signal gun and fired a flare into the sky. The walkie-talkie correspondent continued to pass Gao Jianwu's order to the company level!
At this moment, the command of the Ping An Cluster has initially realized wireless communication. With the order, the four major clusters poured into the battlefield like a tide. Facing the little Japanese who had lost their organization, the Ping An Cluster had a platoon-level team with perfect firepower, which was enough to push them across. Even if they encounter squadron-level imps by chance, the Ping An Group can quickly call for support to form a battalion-level attack.
The Ping An Group pushed across the left wing. When Yang Tuan saw the signal flare, they also ordered the troops to spread out according to the company to intercept the fleeing Japs. Their communication methods were relatively poor, so tasks were assigned to each battalion. The company and the company responded to each other's search and advanced. The interception area was much worse than that of the Ping An cluster, but the victory was controllable.
A search network of several hundred meters was formed to catch all the little Japs along the way. In addition, the cavalry regiment charged back and forth. After a full 4 hours, Gao Jianwu finally received a beautiful "ding ding" notification sound from the system.
This multi-party cooperation actually resulted in three 150% explosive bonuses! It has more than tripled!
The triple happiness made Gao Jianwu secretly sigh that it was indeed the case.
Directly killed more than 8,900 little Japs, harvested 1 big leftist, 1 middle leftist and 7 less leftist officials!
This wave of triple happiness directly turned into a harvest equivalent to 3 big lefts, 3 middle lefts and 21 small lefts!
Gao Jianwu, who rushed to the battlefield, chose to release a wave of ammunition this time. After a quick inspection on the battlefield on horseback, he decisively replenished a base for the captured Little Japanese artillery battalion and heavy artillery battalion, and then carried out the Little Japanese logistics. In the baggage camp, throw out a base number of bullets for two regiments and ammunition for the 92 infantry cannon and 90mm small steel cannon!
Through such a wave of operations, the ammunition consumption of this battle can at least be made up.
Ten 92 infantry guns and 30 90mm small steel cannons from 5 brigades were directly captured on the battlefield, plus 12 75mm mountain guns from the artillery brigade, and 12 105mm howitzers from the heavy artillery brigade. The number of artillery captured directly in this battle was Pretty good, although some of the guns were damaged by shelling.
However, the 12 105mm howitzers and 12 75mm mountain cannons are basically retained, because Gao Jianwu ordered the artillery to target the tractors, and the damage of the mortars and 75mm mountain cannons to the 105mm howitzers is relatively weak.
There is basically no big problem if there is no direct hit.
Therefore, this wave of artillery in Wucheng has been greatly enhanced, especially the 105mm howitzer. A group of seized trucks were mobilized from Wucheng to tow them away and hide them in the mountains.
He did not appear in the march sequence of the squadron returning to Wucheng.
Considering that the Ping An Cluster and the Cavalry Regiment had been sleeping outside for many days, it was the main force of Yang Regiment's turn to hide in the suburbs this time, while the Ping An Cluster and the Cavalry Regiment entered the city to rest.
Although the number of people coming in and out was different, the little devil's eyeliner was a little confused.
However, they soon figured out that when leaving the city, some troops may not have been keeping a close eye on them, so after the Wucheng gate was opened, these little devils' spies quickly passed the information they saw back to the North China Expedition Army Headquarters in Yandu .
】
At this moment, the headquarters of the North China Expeditionary Force, which had been awake all night, was in chaos, and the eyes of a group of staff were bloodshot.
Not long after Tokunaga Shizuosuke sent the telegram asking for help, the staff and staff at the North China Expedition Army headquarters were gathered together to discuss countermeasures.
What makes the Gangcun kid helpless is that everyone has almost no response except waiting for the 11th Brigade to perish!
If only one brigade is needed, of course, an order can be issued immediately to forcibly mobilize it from surrounding counties, but that is a brigade!
Everyone here understands what hundreds of artillery pieces mean.
Because of this, no one dared to come forward to make suggestions when faced with the face of the gangcun kid who was almost crying.
The march of an army above the brigade level is not something that can be done easily. Among other things, the amount of food and grass chewed by horses is a huge amount. Plus the ammunition for a battle, the logistics and equipment will take a while to prepare.
In the middle of the process, the little devil from Gangcun not only called the person in charge of the Special High School Course over and slapped him in the face to vent his anger, but also ordered them to immediately send intelligence personnel to find out what kind of strength the other party had!
Next, the gangcun kid checked the distribution of his team, and began to face the map to figure out which troops to mobilize to extinguish the raging fire burning in Wucheng!
As daytime approaches, intelligence from Wucheng begins to come back in a steady stream. What is disturbing is that at the same time, there are still groups of Tuba Road heading towards the counties around Wucheng in the direction of Wucheng. Apparently they are preparing to attack the surrounding counties. .
This discovery made the little Japs from Gangcun furious. They mobilized almost all the fighter planes from Pingjin to attack the daring Tubal Road. Unfortunately, when their fighter planes came again, the marching Tubal Road disappeared into the mountains and forests!
