Due to Yang Naiwu's quick response to the attack launched by the Sanxing Township kid, he finally annihilated all the attacking kid at a heavy cost and avoided the annihilation of the entire work team.
This can be considered a blessing in misfortune.
But the attacks launched by several other little devils at the same time were not so lucky.
Although Gao Jianwu's reaction was very fast, it was still not faster than the kid's long-planned actions. At the same time as the Sanxing Township attack, the kid planned several major sneak attacks one after another.
Three small Japanese squadrons that had been dispersed and sneaked out of the mountainous areas gathered together under the guidance of the traitor and launched a sneak attack in the mountainous towns on the eastern edge. Three companies that were on the same mission as Chen Changshan's company to go to the countryside were surrounded by small Japanese soldiers. Although they put up a desperate resistance, the little devils were also determined.
They did not hesitate to resort to death squad methods and paid multiple costs to break through the defenses of these companies. However, they failed to deploy tank companies and other quick-reaction mobile units in these places, resulting in insufficient rescue. In the end, all three companies were sacrificed, and the little devils took the opportunity to seize the opportunity. They took away food, poultry and other supplies from the local villagers and returned to the mountainous area.
Almost at the same time, a special detachment at the level of the Little Japanese Regiment emerged from near Nantou County in the west. The local defenders were caught off guard and resisted desperately while calling for reinforcements. However, they still suffered heavy casualties under the air force bombing reinforcements.
A main force battalion was wiped out by two-thirds!
After finally waiting for reinforcements, the county seat was saved, but the countryside around the county seat was still looted by the little devils who came out to wreak havoc.
The successive losses made Gao Jianwu finally devote all his attention to the new tactic of how to contain the little Japanese.
And after analyzing these attack reports, he suddenly discovered an important problem, that is, the intelligence system now not only does not provide early warning to the little Japs at the brigade level, but also turns a blind eye to the little Japs at the regiment level.
Perhaps the intelligence system believed that an attack of this level was of no importance to the entire Southeast Task Force. Perhaps the intelligence system considered this to be junk information and blocked him.
Gao Jianwu was a bit dumbfounded when he thought about this. Is this considered a reverse upgrade? When did the little devils at the alliance level start to become worthless in the eyes of their own system?
No matter what, Gao Jianwu is a little uncomfortable with the current shift in offense and defense.
After heavily fortifying several routes where large groups of Japs might attack, various generals under General Gao Jian were summoned.
"Everyone, the situation we are facing now has changed to how to exterminate the little devils hiding in the dark. Judging from the past period of time, the little devils have become very cunning. Their scattered attacks are very stressful for us. The entire Bay Island is too big for us to cover everything.”
Gao Jianwu looked at the commanders of his attack groups, opened the map of Wan Wan Island and said.
"What we can confirm so far is that there are at least tens of thousands of Japs hiding in the mountains. They usually hide in groups or brigades, and then collude with traitors to spot the loopholes in our defense and launch sneak attacks. Not only do they give us It caused huge losses to the troops and had a great negative impact on our mass mobilization work."
After listening to Gao Jianwu's words, everyone nodded frequently. It is true that everyone has been very anxious recently and life has been really difficult. This is much more difficult than attacking.
When attacking, it was clear where the little devil was, but now on defense, no one was completely prepared for where the little devil would appear.
It is completely unsuitable for everyone who is always on the offensive.
"Commander Gao, what should we do now? After all, we don't know where the little devils are hiding. There is no way to find them out. It is really difficult." Zhao Dalei stood up first. It expressed everyone’s confusion.
"Of course there are ways, but it's still very difficult to implement now. It's difficult for us to catch all the little devils at once." Gao Jianwu said slowly.
"The first way is to get the assault brigade into action. Now it has become very difficult for us to use conventional troops to deal with the Japs. They are hiding in deserted mountainous areas and occupying favorable terrain. We have the advantage. There is no way for artillery fire to be transported in these terrains to carry out strikes."
"Now only by dividing the assault brigade into bands of about a hundred people to suppress bandits, while maintaining mutual coordination between the several bands, and breaking into the mountains and forests to fight flexibly, can we maintain the advantage over the little devils."
After General Gao Jian proposed the tactics of special bandit suppression operations, everyone had no objection to this arrangement. The combat effectiveness of the assault brigade has been recognized by the entire army, and indeed this method can be implemented.
"But everyone has seen that this tactic has great limitations. Because our assault brigade only has so many people. According to this tactic, it may be possible to divide the operation into two parts. Each operation can cover The scope is simply too limited.
If the little devils are cunning enough, they can keep wandering around in the mountains and forests to avoid them. It is actually a bit difficult for us to catch their tail. "
"So my second option is to form an air commando team."
After Gao Jianwu expressed his second thought, everyone was stunned. As the name suggests, Air Commandos strike from the air.
But now everyone here has no concept of airborne troops at all. So I'm a little confused about Gao Jianwu's idea.
"The so-called air commando team fights through airborne operations." Gao Jianwu directly stated his meaning clearly, without letting everyone guess his intentions.
"I want to select this air assault team from the entire army. Each assault group will select about 100 people. Compared with the assault group, this force has a more special mission. They will obtain the enemy's location after air force reconnaissance. , transport this force directly over the enemy via transport aircraft for airdrop.”
Gao Jianwu spoke very clearly, and everyone understood it clearly, but everyone still looked at him blankly.
Although the Southeast Task Force now has its own fighter fleet, they are all single-person fighter jets and there is not even a single transport aircraft yet.
"Commander Gao, none of us have ever done anything like airdropping a team from a transport plane. It must not be simple to drop people from such a high place, right?" Zhao Dalei asked without understanding.
"Of course, airborne is not a simple matter. It is not something we can carry out independently. Next, we have to ask the Allied forces to assist us in training and provide transport aircraft for airdrops. After all, it is the Allied forces' unanimous decision to solve the little Japs on Wanwan Island. Needed." Gao Jianwu did not hide his intentions from his subordinates.
Now is the golden age of his relationship with the Allied Forces. On the one hand, the Allied Forces need him to capture cities and territories. On the other hand, Gao Jianwu has developed a group of international friends within the Allied Forces who are speaking for him.
What's more, Gao Jianwu can achieve amazing results every time. Before the little devil was completely eliminated, his value in the eyes of the Allied senior leaders was also very huge.
So he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to train a group of airborne troop seeds. Of course, eliminating the little devils on Wanwan Island is also one of the purposes.
After listening to Gao Jianwu's introduction, everyone became excited. After all, these people have experienced close cooperation with the Allied Forces. Everyone knows what kind of things we got in the middle.
Therefore, when Gao Jianwu said that he wanted the Allies to train an airborne force, everyone did not think that Gao Jianwu was bragging.
This kind of thing is just a trivial matter for Gao Jianwu. Now everyone's focus has begun to shift to how to choose the elite of their assault group to participate in this matter.
There was a lot of discussion in the conference room for a while, and everyone began to brainstorm ways to select this elite airborne force.
"You don't have to mess around anymore. Next, each assault group will select 200 people. We will send these people to the training camp and let the Allies screen them." Gao Jianwu waved his hand, interrupting everyone's discussion. .
Then he continued.
"We cannot rely solely on these two methods to exterminate the little devils. We must also actively use conventional methods. Next, I will give you an accurate map of Wanwan Island.
As long as you hold this map and pay attention to the suspicious mountainous areas in the defense area, if the police station's reliable personnel go to investigate these areas, there may be unexpected surprises.
Although the little devils' transformation from light to dark has caused us a lot of trouble, it also means that their strength has become very weak. They don't have much supplies in the mountainous areas, and their combat effectiveness will continue to be weakened. If we can maintain this result for a long time, we will always have the initiative. "
"The little devils now are a cancer on the island, forcing us to fail to build this beautiful island. We must eradicate them as soon as possible, but we don't have to be discouraged. Even if we eradicate a group of little devils every time, It won’t be long before the little devils can be eradicated from the island.”
According to Gao Jianwu's idea, the Assault Brigade is a secret-line special operations team, and the targets they can capture are limited. Therefore, Gao Jianwu's mission for them is to target the core figures of the Little Japs, focusing on searching for and killing the middle- and upper-level commanders of the Little Japs, the most important of which. The only thing is to find the underground headquarters of the little devil on Wanwan Island and dig out the little devil named Itan from the ground!
"Commander Gao, we are really short of grassroots personnel here. Should we ask the headquarters for some reinforcements?" Lu Fan waited for Gao Jianwu to finish speaking and raised another new question.
"Yes, Commander Gao, it's not that we can't do grassroots work now, but it's very unprofessional. That's all. It's because of the rapid grassroots work training course you opened here, Commander Gao, that everyone knew about it. How to do grassroots work, but after all, it is not a long-term solution. The training and combat of the troops are now too constrained and affected."
Lu Fan raised his head, and the people below all agreed and complained.
"You guys are so picky that you give labor and management a hard time. The 500 cadres supported by our Southern Bureau are about to arrive." Gao Jianwu scolded with a smile.
"Go back and tell the third-level cadres of the battalion, company and platoon below. If they all learn more from the cadres of the Southern Bureau, can we still fight for the rest of our lives? In a few years, after we have beaten away the little devils, we should invest in rebuilding our homes. It’s a flood. By then I won’t be able to do anything, just let the labor and management take off their military uniforms and work on the land, don’t embarrass the labor and management!”
Gao Jianwu's words made Lu Fan and the others feel a little confused in time and space. Building a home? This goal seems a bit far away, right?
But then I thought about it, and it seemed that it was really not that far away. Now base areas are popping up one after another, and the territory is getting bigger and bigger. Hubei, Henan, and Anhui have already spanned several provinces. Are you already building your home in full swing? !
Even though the war is not over yet, with an invincible commander like Gao Jianwu, wherever he fights, there will be a recovery zone. If he doesn't wait a few years, he may be able to drive away the little Japanese!
"Commander Gao, I don't want to do local work, I just want to fight with you!" Zhao Dalei doesn't care about this. He has integrated his life with the military camp. Although he is only in his early twenties, he is already an important person. choice.
Although the biggest reason for winning the battle was following the right leader, under the subtle influence of Gao Jianwu, Zhao Dalei's improvement was actually obvious. He was more experienced in modern infantry-tank coordination and infantry-artillery coordination tactics than other military region brigade and regiment-level cadres.
"Dalei, you should be more careful. After the war has been fought in the past few years, there will be no chance to fight. With so many troops left, we must turn to construction in an organized state. If we don't build, what will happen to our people?" How can we be well fed and clothed warmly?" Gao Jianwu pointed at Zhao Dalei and cursed with a smile.
"Don't talk about you. After the war, labor and capital left the military camps and quickly went to various places to set up factories and companies. The next competition around the world will turn to economic construction. But you don't understand these things now. It's beside the point. Now we just have to focus on wiping out the remaining Japs troops and building rural infrastructure."
Gao Jianwu saw that the topic had gone too far, so he quickly took it back. Except for Lu Fan, who was in his thirties, the rest were almost all young people in their twenties. They had been fighting for several years or even more than ten years. They looked a little older, but in his original time and space, these were still young people who had just left school. Gao Jianwu certainly hoped that they could go further.
In a few years, the opportunity will no longer be in the military camp, but in the new battlefield of economic construction.
After the tactical deployment was determined, the entire Southeast Task Force was fully mobilized. At the same time, as the Allied forces also began to move in on a large scale, Gao Jianwu's airborne team training request also received strong support from Major General Smith and General Steven. The elite Southeast Task Force of 1,200 people began to receive devilish training and selection from the Allied airborne training masters at Songshan Base!
