I am a wolf warrior

The brigade commander frowned and said, "In this case, it will be a little troublesome."

It is really troublesome, because it means that the Shanxi Northwest Column must be divided into three groups.

Although they are divided into three groups, their Northwest Shanxi column can still occupy a certain force advantage, but this force advantage is already very weak, and no absolute advantage can be formed in any direction. In this way, there is a high probability that the next battle will be In a stalemate, it is difficult to win in a short time.

However, the Shanxi Northwest Column could not fight a protracted war.

Because their supplies cannot sustain a protracted war.

War is like this, there is no shortcut at all, only strength can be relied on.

In small-scale battles, you can dig traps, play sap, touch the whistle, and use a variety of tactics. It is not a myth to win more with less, and it is entirely possible to defeat the strong with the weak.

But once the campaign scales up, the effectiveness of these little tricks plummets.

It cannot be said that these little tricks are completely useless, but the effect will become minimal.

In a large-scale battle, the test is the calculation ability of the commanders of both sides, the execution ability of the troops of both sides, and the continuity of the logistics support of both sides!

Strategies are basically useless in a big battle.

Especially in the era of hot weapons, tricks are even more useless.

Of course, it's a different story about the conspiracy on both sides' temples.

As far as the current battle in Northwest Shanxi is concerned, the calculation ability of the commanders of both sides must be dominated by the Eighth Route Army. As the founding general, the brigade commander’s ability to command large corps is second only to General Su. He is definitely not Yoshimoto Sadaichi or Inoue Sada An old devil like Wei can compare, this is really a crushing advantage.

The execution power of the troops on both sides is basically [-]-[-].

Although the Shanxi Northwest Column is superior in weaponry and tactical literacy, it has been held back by guerrilla habits, and it will take time for grassroots commanders and fighters to change their minds.

Finally, there is the continuity of logistical support.

At this point, the Shanxi Northwest Column was completely defeated!

Because the Shanxi Northwest Column has only so few resources, it simply cannot afford to consume them.

If the battle cannot be ended in a short time, and the battle cannot be ended once the ammunition reserves are exhausted, then the Shanxi Northwest Column can only withdraw its troops, and the loss of this battle will be great.

Therefore, absolutely absolutely can not fight a stalemate!

There was silence in the war room for about ten seconds, and Kong Jie suddenly said, "Brigade Commander, give me a regiment of troops, and I will hold back the reinforcements from the devils coming south from Datong!"

It is tantamount to committing suicide to take down a veteran infantry unit of the Devils with the strength of a regiment.

Even if the task is completed in the end, there may be very few people left in this regiment.

But Kong Jie said with determination on his face, "I, Kong Jie, dare not say anything else, but there is absolutely no problem in holding back the reinforcements of the devils going south from Datong for a whole day and night!"

After a pause, he said in a more emphatic tone: "Brigade Commander, I will take the head, no, I will assure you with party spirit, the devil reinforcements who go south from Datong within one day will not even think about entering Northwest Shanxi!"

The brigade commander began to calculate quickly in his mind.

Not only must one of Kong Jie's regiments be able to really block an old devil's regiment for a day, but also whether the remaining troops can wipe out the devils going north from Taiyuan in one night?

When the brigade commander was nervously calculating, Cheng Yue walked in again.

After reading the telegram that Cheng Yue handed over, Wang Ye's face suddenly revealed a look of joy.

"Brigade Commander, good news!" Wang Ye said, "The 94th Brigade of the Central Army has called, saying that they are willing to go north to Yezhugou to stop the devil reinforcements coming south from Datong!"

"Really? Let me see!"

The Brigadier held out his hand for the telegram.

Li Yunlong and Kong Jie were blown up.

Li Yunlong said: "Brigade Commander, the Central Army cannot be trusted!"

Kong Jie also said: "Yes, if the Central Army is reliable, sows can climb trees!"

Ding Wei also said: "I'm not afraid of anything else, but I'm afraid of being stabbed in the back by Liang Gang again!"

After the brigade commander read the telegram, there was a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth, and he said: "No, I believe Liang Gang will not stab us again this time! Pass my order, a team stays to contain the Anhua enemy, The second detachment, the third detachment, the guard regiment, the cavalry regiment, and the artillery regiment must gather immediately and prepare to go south to Kill Zhukou!"

"Ah?" Li Yunlong looked at each other in blank dismay.

But the brigade commander said: "What are you still doing?"

Li Yunlong turned around and left.

……

Long before this telegram was sent to the Eighth Route Army, Liang Gang had already led the main force of the 94th Brigade of the Central Army to advance along the Tongpu Highway in the direction of Yezhugou.

The 94th Independent Brigade can be said to have come out in full force this time.

Liang Gang only left a main battalion in Fu'an County, and the rest were militia groups.

If the Eighth Route Army raids Fu'an County at this time, it can be said to be sure.

Guo Guanying, the deputy chief of staff, was very worried, and said, "Traveler, is it too risky to leave only one main battalion to guard Fu'an County? What if the Eighth Route Army suddenly attacks?"

Zhu Jiahua, who was walking on the other side of Liang Gang, glanced at Guo Guanying, but said nothing.

Liang Gang waved his hand and said, "Please rest assured, Deputy Chief of Staff Guo, the Eighth Route Army will not do this."

Guo Guanying frowned, and said: "Brother, even if the Eighth Route Army is unable to raid Fu'an County at this time, we just don't hold them back, and there is no need to fight for the Eighth Route Army, right?"

Liang Gang frowned and said, "Deputy Chief of Staff Guo, the Eighth Route Army is our friendly army."

Guo Guanying said: "Brother, we and the Eighth Route Army are only theoretical allies. In fact, according to the principal, we wish we could get rid of the Eighth Route Army as soon as possible."

After a pause, he continued, "If it's according to my opinion, our Central Army should sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight at this time, and wait until the Eighth Route Army and the devils have lost both sides, and then go out to pick peaches."

Liang Gang said: "Don't forget that the Japanese army is the number one enemy of the party-state at this stage."

After a pause, Liang Gang continued: "The Eighth Route Army has launched such a large-scale offensive in Northwest Shanxi. Our Central Army has to help no matter what. We are the Central Army and the national government's main defense force. , Such a large-scale strategic counter-offensive without the participation of the Central Army is unimaginable."

Zhu Jiahua said: "Deputy Chief of Staff Guo, the principal has approved our action."

"Ah? Has the principal approved it?" Guo Guanying was taken aback when he heard the words, why didn't he say it earlier?

……

Chongqing Huangshan official residence, Yunxiu Tower.

Chang Kaishen was staring at the map of Shanxi on the wall in a daze.

Chief of Operations Liu Fei and Deputy Chief of Staff Bai Jiansheng stood behind him.

Leading troops to fight, Chang Kaishen only trusts his Whampoa students, but to make suggestions, Liu Fei and Bai Jiansheng are Chang Kaishen's most important left-hand men.

Originally, there was another Jiang Baili, but unfortunately he died young.

After staring at the map for a long time, Chang Kaishen asked quietly, "Jiansheng, what do you think will be the final result of this battle in Northwest Shanxi?"

Bai Jiansheng said: "That depends on how Liang Gang's troops choose."

After a pause, he went on to say, "If Liang Gang's 94th Brigade feints and clears Tongpu Road, then there is a high probability that the battle in Northwest Shanxi will be a draw."

"On the face of it, the [-]th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army seems to have won the victory."

"But in fact, the [-]th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army has suffered a dark loss because they have exhausted their offensive capabilities."

"But if the 94th Brigade really fights and blocks the Japanese troops heading south from Datong, then the 60th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army will win without any suspense, and the No. [-] Ninth Division of the Japanese Army will be completely wiped out."

Hearing this, Chang Kaishen's face twitched violently, and his determination immediately went back and forth.

The national army fought so many large-scale battles, from Songhu to Nanjing, to Xuzhou, then to Wuhan, and then to Changsha, there has never been a record of annihilating a division of the Japanese army in an organized way.

If the 60th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army really wiped out the No.[-] Ninth Division of the Japanese Army,

Doesn't that mean that the national army with more than 200 divisions has been compared with the [-]th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army?This is undoubtedly a very embarrassing thing.

Seeing this, Liu Fei hurriedly said, "But this is a good thing for the party-state."

"Indeed." Bai Jiansheng echoed, "If the 69th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army really annihilates the [-]th Division of the Japanese Army, it will definitely cause a shock to the high-level Japanese army. Not only is the [-]th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army absolutely unreasonable, but the Japanese army in North China will inevitably consume a lot of resources as a result."

Hearing this, Chang Kaishen's facial muscles relaxed again, and he nodded slightly.

At that moment Chang Kaishen said: "Then let us wait and see if the [-]th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army is capable of breaking the record of completely annihilating a division of the Japanese Army."

……

Northwest Shanxi.

The sky had already darkened, and the main force of the Shanxi Northwest Column was heading south along the Tongpu Highway.

A huge team of nearly 2 people ran in a four-way column along the road. People, horses, and vehicles were pulled out for several kilometers, and the end could not be seen at a glance.

In order to compete for time, the soldiers did not have the opportunity to sit down and eat.

Xing Zhiguo could only mobilize the militia and deliver dinner to the roadside.

Today's dinner is very rich. In addition to three catties of white flour buns per person, there are also stewed noodles with pork and cabbage.

While marching, the soldiers took the white-faced steamed buns from the militiamen and put them in their satchels, and untied the large enamel teapots or captured aluminum lunch boxes from their waists. Stew vermicelli and put them in the tea mugs or lunch boxes of the soldiers.

The soldiers didn't even use chopsticks, they ate with their hands.

Wang Ye also used an enamel tea pot to fill a large pot of meat and vegetables, and ate it with his hands.

It's not that they don't want to use chopsticks, they really don't have time to look for chopsticks, and they don't have time to stop and break two twigs. They have to race with the devils to reach the slaughterhouse before the devils and set up an ambush.

On the other side, comrades from the Political Department found a group of peasant singers from somewhere.

This group of peasant singers was singing folk songs from northern Shanxi, cheering for the soldiers.

Wang Ye observed for a while and found that although the soldiers were exhausted, their mental state was still very good, and they did not appear war-weary due to continuous combat.

Chapter 504 Heroes See the Same Thing

After more than six hours of rapid march, the Shanxi Northwest Column finally arrived at Shazhukou, more than 40 kilometers away, by this time it was already past one o'clock in the morning of the next day.

A reconnaissance team led by Duan Peng has been waiting at the butcher's mouth for more than an hour.

"Captain, Commander." Duan Peng paid military salutes to Wang Ye and the brigade commander respectively, and said, "The monk and another reconnaissance team are monitoring the devils going north from Taiyuan."

After Wang Ye found out that the code name was not practical, he simply ignored his position, and the entire special operations brigade was called by nickname or first name regardless of their position.

The only exception is Wang Ye.

For Wang Ye, including Wei Dayong, they are all called captains.

At first, Wang Ye tried to correct him, but after a few times of ineffective corrections, he didn't bother to correct him again. He didn't care what the team members called him, anyway, he was not afraid of the devil beheading him.

But the other players will all use nicknames or first names to match each other.

Wang Ye nodded and asked, "When was the last time you communicated?"

"Ten minutes ago." Duan Peng said, "According to the latest information provided by the monk, the Japanese troops going north have already passed Wangjiayu, and they are still seven or eight kilometers away from here."

"It's time!" Wang Ye heaved a sigh of relief.

The brigade commander even issued an order directly: "Pass my order, the infantry regiments immediately seize the commanding heights on both sides of the road, the artillery regiment stepped up to build artillery positions, and the cavalry regiment found a place to rest quickly."

Several correspondents of the headquarters responded and left separately.

Ding Wei and Li Yunlong looked at the brigade commander eagerly.

This time the main force went south, Kong Jie was left in Anhua by the brigade commander to contain the devils.

Because what is needed most in such a battle is execution, so Kong Jie is the most suitable.

"Why, have you thought about becoming an addict of commanding?" The brigade commander glanced at the faces of Li Yunlong and Ding Wei, and asked with a smile.

"Brigade Commander, forget about old Ding." Li Yunlong hurriedly said, "He has already fought two battles in Zhanggezhuang and Chenzhuang, and he has already had enough of his addiction. I will command the battle of killing pigs. Bar."

"Why should I let it go?" Ding Wei can let go of other things, but he doesn't want to let go of this matter.

After a pause, Ding Wei said again: "Brigade Commander, let me tell you the truth, the battle at Zhanggezhuang was not bad, but the battle at Chenzhuang was not ideal, and after these two battles I already have I have some experience, so I believe that if the brigade commander still entrusts me to command this battle, then I will definitely perform better!"

"Old Ding, you are not interesting enough." Li Yunlong was anxious when he heard it, "You can't have all the good things, right? It should be our turn to try something new, right?"

That is Ding Wei, if it were Cheng Shifa, Li Yunlong would have scolded his mother directly.

For Ding Wei, Li Yunlong is still very restrained, even if he is a man, he also leaves room.

Ding Wei said without giving an inch: "Lao Li, I really don't want to fight with you. I really have some thoughts in my heart. I want to verify this battle. Next time, when I have the next opportunity, I will definitely let you , okay?"

"Hurry up and do it next time." Li Yunlong said, "Such a good opportunity will never come across once in many years. If today is missed, will I be able to command a real column to fight against the devils in the Year of the Monkey?"

After a pause, Li Yunlong said again: "Old Ding, I beg you, old Li, is that okay?"

"Okay, okay, don't argue." The brigade commander snorted, and said angrily, "This is a devil, not a Tang monk, why did you snatch it?"
