I am a wolf warrior

……

Anhua County, the headquarters of the No.60 Ninth Division of the Japanese Army.

Ryuichi Sakamoto is playing army chess with Sadae Inoue again.

But this time, Ryuichi Sakamoto's mood was clearly disturbed.

Originally, Inoue Sadae was no match for Sakamoto Ryuichi at all.

But this time, Ryuichi Sakamoto made mistakes again and again and was defeated.

Inoue Sadae laughed secretly, it seemed that Sakamoto Ryuichi was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.

Just when Inoue Sadae's engineers were about to dig up the military flag of Takashi Sakamoto's main camp, Igarashimi, the head of the communications section, walked into the war room with a dark face.

"Chief of Staff!" Igarashi said, "The Utada Regiment calls urgently!"

Sakamoto Takashi kept his gaze on the board, waved his hand and said, "Read!"

Igarashi Meidang even opened the telegram and read: "Division and Regiment Headquarters: After an hour of fierce fighting, all three lines of defense in the outer positions of Ping'an County have been lost, and the east gate city wall has also been lost..."

"What?" Ryuichi Sakamoto suddenly stood up, "The east gate wall has also fallen?"

This is something Takato Sakamoto never expected. It's fine if the outer positions are lost, but the east gate city wall is also lost?Doesn't this mean that the Utada United team is very likely to not last until dawn tomorrow?how so?

Thinking of this, Ryuichi Sakamoto was shocked, and it was only at this time that he realized that he had made a mistake, and it was a fatal mistake.

"Damn it!" Sakamoto Ryuichi said with a dark face.

"What?" Inoue Zhenwei stood up and asked, "Sakamoto-kun, is there a problem?"

Ryuichi Sakamoto said: "Division Commander, this is all my fault. I was negligent for a moment, ignoring that the Eighth Route Army is not the Central Army of China, let alone the Jinsui Army!"

"The Utada United team shouldn't stick to the outer fortifications."

"It's even more important not to guard the fortifications of the city walls, but to shrink the troops inside the city and fight the Eighth Route Army in the streets!"

After a pause, Ryuichi Sakamoto said again: "Fortunately, it's not too late to make amends. I ordered the Utada Regiment to immediately abandon the fortifications in the other three directions, shrink all the troops inside the city, and fight the enemy alleyways!"

"Hai!" Igarashi paused and turned around to leave, but was stopped by Ryuichi Sakamoto.

"Wait." Ryuichi Sakamoto said again, "Order the 292st and 1nd Infantry Battalions of the 2nd Infantry Regiment, the search team directly under the division, and the 1st Mountain Artillery Battalion to rush to Ping'an County immediately, and at the same time order the infantry stationed in Nao County The 290th Regiment also dispatched an infantry brigade to urgently reinforce Ping'an County."

"Hai!" Igarashi nodded heavily.

……

Heyuan County, column headquarters.

Li Yunlong was fiddling with the walkie-talkie.

Walkie-talkies are standard equipment for mechanics. Almost every platoon is equipped with walkie-talkies, and artillery units have more walkie-talkies.

Chang Kaishen ordered a large amount of technical equipment for the mechanic equipment he ordered from Pretty Country, but the walkie-talkie did not. Firstly, Chang Kaishen knew the importance of battlefield communication, and secondly, the price of the walkie-talkie was not very expensive. The Northwest Column is now equipped with a large number of walkie-talkies, and communication is very convenient.

While fiddling with it, the phone rang suddenly.

Li Yunlong, who had nothing to do, quickly picked up the microphone.

"Hey, hello." Li Yunlong said loudly, "I am the column headquarters."

"Old Li?" The other end of the phone said loudly, "I'm Kong Jie, I'm looking for the brigade commander."

"Damn, it's the same with me." Li Yunlong said unhappily, "What's the matter?"

"You can't, your level is not enough." Kong Jie snorted, "Hurry up and let the brigade commander listen to my call."

"Grass." Li Yunlong took the walkie-talkie and sent it to the brigade commander cursingly, "Brigade commander, Lao Kong's phone number."

The brigade commander, who was working with Wang Ye on the map, quickly put down his pencil, picked up the microphone and said, "Kong Jie, how is the fight in Ping'an County? Have you cleared the outer positions?"

A few seconds later, the brigade commander widened his eyes and shouted, "What did you say?"

The attention of Wang Ye, Li Yunlong, and Zhao Gang next to them was immediately attracted by the brigade commander's roar.

The brigade commander continued to shout: "You said that your second detachment broke through the east gate wall 5 minutes ago? Are you currently fighting house to house with the devils and puppet troops in the city?"

"What?" Zhao Gang and Zhang Dabiao looked at each other.

Li Yunlong's donkey face turned black into the bottom of the pot, mother, this time Lao Kong is so awesome.

But Wang Ye hurriedly reminded: "Brigade Commander, please let the second detachment take it easy, and don't swallow the devils and puppet troops in Ping'an County before dawn, otherwise there will be nothing left, and we will not be able to fight." gone."

The brigade commander hurriedly covered the microphone and shouted: "Kong Jie, listen carefully, and take it easy for me."

After a pause, the brigade commander said again: "I know you have a tough style and are good at fighting tough battles, but in the battle of Ping'an County, don't rush to fight head-on with the devils. In short, my request to your second detachment is not only to fight beautifully , but also to reduce the number of casualties of the troops as much as possible, you repeat it to me!"

After a while, the brigade commander hung up the phone with a snap.

The atmosphere in the war room suddenly became active.

Zhao Gang said: "Brigade Commander, the Second Detachment has given us a good start. This will greatly increase the chances of our Shanxi Northwest Column winning this battle."

"It goes without saying." The brigade commander waved his hand and said, "But, I never imagined that the second detachment's attack on Ping'an County would be so smooth?"

Wang Ye smiled and said, "Brigade Commander, this is actually not surprising at all."

After a pause, Wang Ye continued: "The infantry support firepower of each detachment and regiment of our Shanxi Northwest Column is not much inferior to that of the little devils, and the number of grenadiers is even greater."

"The firepower of infantry light weapons is far better than that of devils."

"With the same system, our machine gun firepower is almost twice that of the devils."

After a pause, he said again: "This time we are attacking Ping'an County, we will use four regiments to fight against a regiment of devils. Specifically, in the direction of the east gate city wall, the devils will only have at most one infantry squadron on the outer positions and the east gate city wall." The strength of our army, but we have to face the concentrated fire of a regiment of our army, the difference in firepower between the two sides can no longer be said to be a huge disparity, this is completely crushing!"

The brigade commander said: "It seems that when the tactical literacy of the two armies is similar, firepower is the decisive factor."

Wang Ye said: "In positional warfare, firepower is indeed the decisive factor, but in the following street battles, our army's firepower advantage will not be as obvious as before."

"So the brigade commander told the second detachment not to rush to attack, it is completely correct."

After a pause, he continued: "If we want to eliminate a devil's alliance in street fighting, our casualties will probably exceed 3000, which is extremely detrimental to the next stage of the war. After all, we will The opponent is not the No.60 Ninth Division of the Japanese Army, but the Devil's First Army stationed in Shanxi!"

Speaking of this, Wang Ye quietly glanced at Li Yunlong again.

At the same time, I admire the brigade commander's employment in my heart. This is probably the main reason why the brigade commander did not let Li Yunlong go, but chose to let Kong Jie go to fight Ping'an County.

Because Kong Jie will resolutely obey any order from his superiors.

If it was Li Yunlong, there is a high probability that he would choose to disobey at this time, continue to attack Ping'an County at any cost, and then exchange huge casualties in exchange for annihilation of the defenders in Ping'an County in the shortest possible time. In Ping'an County, what's the difference between the early shooting down and the late shooting down?

As long as the battle is won, the brigade commander will not even try to shoot me.

At this time, Cheng Yue suddenly walked out of the communication room.

"Captain!" Cheng Yue said, "The first and second reconnaissance teams sent telegrams at the same time, and the devils in Anhua and Nao County sent reinforcements at the same time, and they are rushing towards Ping'an County."

"It's finally here!" Hearing this, everyone's spirits lifted.

The brigade commander also asked anxiously: "How many troops did the devils in Anhua and Nao counties dispatch?"

Cheng Yue handed the telegram to Wang Ye, and replied: "The devils from Nao County have about 1000 reinforcements, and the devils from Anhua are much more, at least 3000!"

"1000 people? 3000 people?" The brigade commander was taken aback when he heard this.

Li Yunlong was also surprised and said: "Why did the devil only dispatch this little force?"

This was somewhat beyond their expectations. They originally thought that the devils in Nao County would dispatch at least 2000 people, and the devils in Anhua County would dispatch at least 5000 people.

But now, the devils only dispatched four thousand reinforcements in total.

Zhang Dabiao said: "The little devil is more conservative than we expected?"

Wang Ye said with a smile: "It may not necessarily be conservative, it is very likely that it is underestimating the enemy."

After a pause, Wang Ye went on to say: "It can't be said that we underestimate the enemy, it should be that we can't turn around in our minds, because the Japanese army has never seen our Eighth Route Army fight a tough battle with superior firepower, so the devil defenders in Ping'an County will commit crimes." He made a fatal mistake and placed his troops in peripheral positions to bear the ravages of our superior firepower."

"So for the same reason, the Japanese army has never seen our Eighth Route Army conduct a field battle under superior firepower."

"That's why Inoue Sadae and Sakamoto Ryuichi habitually think that [-] Japanese troops are enough to fight a brigade of our army in the field, and [-] Japanese troops are more than enough to defeat a division of our army. So they must think that at least one of the two reinforcements dispatched from Nao County and Anhua can advance to Ping'an County, and then cooperate with the Utada Regiment in Ping'an County to defeat our siege troops."

The brigade commander took it for granted: "The analysis makes sense."

Li Yunlong laughed and said: "Then this is a great thing for us."

Wang Ye nodded and said, "It's a good thing, but it's not a good thing either. In short, there are advantages and disadvantages."

"Xiao Wang, why is this not a good thing?" Li Yunlong said with a stare, "It's obviously a good thing."

Wang Yedao: "Nao County dispatched a thousand devils to reinforce the army. The Wang Huaibao Regiment can be said to have no defensive pressure, and Anhua only dispatched three thousand devils. It is estimated that Zhang Gezhuang can easily fight an annihilation battle. This is for us. It is indeed a good thing, but the devils in Nao County and Anhua County only send a small amount of reinforcements, which will inevitably increase the difficulty of the second stage of the tough battle, which is not a good thing for us."

After a pause, Wang Ye continued: "After all, our goal is not Ping'an County, but the recovery of Anhua County, and even the entire northwestern Shanxi. If this goal cannot be achieved, this campaign will fail."

The brigade commander said: "We have to eat one bite at a time. Let's kill the reinforcements from Anhua first!"

Chapter 496 Beautiful Annihilation Battle

Anhua County, the headquarters of the No.60 Ninth Division of the Japanese Army.

Inoue Zhenwei suddenly said: "Mr. Sakamoto, the 290th Infantry Regiment stationed in Nao County has only sent one infantry brigade to reinforce Ping'an County. Is the force too weak? What if the Eighth Route Army encircles you on the way? But there are some troubles, anyway, the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi has more than 3 people."

Sakamoto Ryuichi smiled and said, "The head of the division is worrying too much."

Inoue Zhenwei frowned and said, "Sakamoto-kun, am I really worrying too much?"

"Yes, division commander, you really worry too much." Sakamoto Ryuichi said, "The Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi has more than 3 people. This is a fact, but they must leave a certain number of troops to guard the bandit area. Three How can there be 6000 people in the bandit area, so the mobile force that can be used for combat is only about 5000 people."

After a pause, he continued: "According to the usual practice of the Eighth Route Army, combined with the situation reported by the Utada Regiment, there are at least 5000 people from the Eighth Route Army besieging Ping'an County."

"Because the Eighth Route Army has to concentrate at least five times its strength before it dares to launch a tough battle."

"Then, the Eighth Route Army can use it to block the imperial army from Nao County and Anhua to Ping'an County for reinforcements. The maximum number of troops is about 5000, and the maximum number of troops in each direction is [-]."

After another pause, he added: "Even if the Eighth Route Army adopts a differentiated strategy,"

"One of the sides only deploys a small amount of troops to fight against it, while the main force is concentrated in the other direction, which is only about 8000 troops."

"8000 people?!" Inoue Zhenwei's expression changed slightly, "Isn't that much?"

Fujimoto Sadao, Igarashimi and several combat staff officers also changed their expressions slightly.

Inoue Zhenwei also said: "If the Eighth Route Army deploys its main force in the direction of Nao County, then the infantry brigade that reinforces Ping'an County from the direction of Nao County will be violently besieged by the Eighth Route Army with eight times its strength! It is far better than the Eighth Route Army, but under the siege of the Eighth Route Army with eight times its strength, I am afraid it will be more or less unfortunate."

"So what?" Sakamoto Ryuichi said coldly, "If the Eighth Route Army really deploys its main force in the direction of Nao County, then the reinforcements from the direction of Anhua can easily break through the Eighth Route Army's blockade and form a formation with the Utada Brigade in Ping'an County. With the attack from inside and outside, the Eighth Route Army's offensive collapsed."

"This..." Inoue Sadae was speechless when he heard the words.

What co-authored by Ryuichi Sakamoto sang is a good show of throwing pawns and saving cars?

If the Eighth Route Army really deployed its main force in the direction of Nao County, it would really be picking sesame seeds and losing watermelons.

After a long while, Zhenwei Inoue said again: "Then, what if the Eighth Route Army distributes its troops equally in two directions and concentrates on blocking the Imperial Army? I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Imperial Army's two reinforcements to break through?"

"Not necessarily." Takashi Sakamoto waved his hand and said, "If the Eighth Route Army distributes its troops evenly and concentrates on blocking the attack, it will definitely be impossible for the reinforcements in the direction of Nao County to make a breakthrough, but the reinforcements in the direction of Anhua will definitely be able to break through, at the latest before dawn. You can enter Ping'an County."

Inoue Zhenwei said: "Sakamoto-kun so sure?"

"Yes." Ryuichi Sakamoto said, "Because there are iron laws in war, just as a recruit cannot grow into a veteran without fighting on the battlefield, an officer cannot become an excellent commander without the test of iron and blood. If we expand our focus to an army, the reasoning is the same."

"An army needs to go through wars to grow."

"You must have experienced defensive warfare before you know how to fight defensive warfare."

"Only after experiencing the tough battle, will you know how to fight the tough battle."

"In the same way, only those who have experienced large-scale field battles can know how to fight field battles!"

"Prior to this, the Eighth Route Army had almost no record of large-scale field battles with the imperial army."

"So I don't believe that the Eighth Route Army can understand the essence of field warfare without similar experience!"

"Thus, although the Eighth Route Army has an advantage in military strength, and may even have an advantage in firepower, it is wishful thinking for them to exert their superiority in military strength and firepower in field battles."

After a pause, Ryuichi Sakamoto continued: "Therefore, even though the Imperial Army has only half the strength of the Eighth Route Army, it still has a chance to defeat the Eighth Route Army in the field. The reason is very simple, because the Imperial Army has experienced too many encounters in the field battles, while the Eighth Route Army has hardly experienced field battles.”

Inoue Zhenwei was silent.

It sounds so reasonable.

……

Zhang Gezhuang, the headquarters of the first detachment.

Li Xiaoxian hurried into the shelter and reported: "Commander, the devil is here!"

"Who is your commander?" Ding Wei said angrily, "I am the commander now!"
