In this mopping up operation, the Japanese first attacked Sun Dianying's newly formed Fifth Army from the north. The last attack was Liu Zhenghong's Eighth Route Army from the south. However, they did not move against Li Qinglin's Ninth Detachment, which was sandwiched between the two armies.
Now that the Japs have retreated, the icy and snowy twelfth lunar month is coming. In addition, the Japs have suffered a new defeat. The Japs also need to rest and recuperate. It seems that the Japs will not take action a year ago, so the conference room of the Ninth Detachment It was very relaxed, the big smokers were puffing away, and they were joking with each other to kill time before the official meeting.
"Stop arguing, it's a meeting, it's a meeting!" Li Qinglin stood up, waved his hand to fan the smoke in front of him, and shouted.
The head of the Ninth Detachment spoke, and none of the old fritters dared to laugh. They all put out the cigarette butts in their hands and sat up straight, assuming a standard military posture.
Seeing that the conference room became quiet, Li Qinglin cleared his throat and said, "I invite everyone to have a meeting today. There are two topics for this meeting. One is to summarize the situation of the Japanese raids some time ago, including Sun Mazi. , the response and gains and losses of our ninth detachment and the Eighth Route Army; secondly, winter has come, and it will snow heavily soon. Today we have to arrange everyone's work and tasks before and after the Spring Festival.
Having said this, Li Qinglin turned to look at Chief of Staff Liu Changda and said: "Now, let me first ask Chief of Staff Liu to introduce the situation of this counter-mopping up."
There was no formal official etiquette in the military meeting. These big soldiers with guns clapped and welcomed etiquette. Liu Changda had long been accustomed to such meetings. He sat there and cleared his throat, then picked up the hand in front of him. Several pieces of paper filled with words began to introduce the process of this three-party counter-mopping operation and the gains and losses of all parties.
Liu Changda's manuscripts were written by his junior staff officers. The summaries written by these writers were naturally very literate. Although they all wrote about the war that had just happened, the experience and lessons of the battle were summarized quite well, but those big bosses and thugs They didn't buy it, and they all felt drowsy after hearing it.
After Liu Changda finished reading the manuscript, Li Qinglin knocked on the table and said: "The chief of staff's summary read his own conclusion, and at the same time ended his long speech.
"Japanese Shen, I think there is a better way. Why should we attack the enemy's vanguard? Can we attack the enemy's rear from behind? Last time we attacked the enemy's back-up, and then relieved the New Fifth Army. We are surrounded." Zhao Wenguang from the first team immediately jumped out and rebutted Shen Zengshun.
"Backup? How many people can the Japs have in their back-up? Isn't it just a good fight? The Japs only have a few people. Let's kill off their main force and only have a few back-ups. Isn't it a waste to kill them?" Shen Zengshun retorted.
"Why is it said that the main force must be defeated to be considered a victory? This time the Eighth Route Army was not a head-on confrontation with the Japanese. They finally got into the enemy-occupied area. They got into the enemy's belly. After the Japanese made a huge fuss, That's what made the Japanese retreat." Xiao Liuzi finally couldn't bear it anymore, he stood up and shouted.
Zhang Ergou stood up and said: "Xiao Liuzi, when you ran to others to cause trouble, you were driven away by them. They were forced to fight them. Is this considered a real skill? What if I commanded you? If so, I will never let the Japanese take a step into our defense area. How big is the harm caused by the Japanese? I don¡¯t even know you, but you know what the Japanese have done on the Eighth Road? People¡¯s houses were burned and their homes were destroyed. , how big is the loss? How long does it take to recover from this loss?"
Xing Wenyi, the captain of the railway sabotage team, was not happy. He stood up and said: "Captain Zhang, what you said is a bit loud. We all know the combat effectiveness of the Japanese soldiers. Can you say with confidence that we will be able to prevent them from entering our defense area?" ?¡±
Zhang Ergou smiled and said: "Captain Xing, I dare not comment on the combat effectiveness of your sabotage team, but if the Japanese attack our Third Brigade, the Third Brigade will never let them break in casually."
Xing Wenyi said angrily: "Zhang Ergou, you fucking toad" yawned - your tone was too loud, right? Can your three brigades hold back more than a thousand Japanese soldiers and several thousand puppet troops? Are you fucking dreaming? Our railway sabotage team has achieved a lot of success since its establishment, right? Why is the sabotage team's combat effectiveness so poor? Damn it, tell me right now, when did our sabotage team go out for combat and failed?"
Zhang Ergou chuckled and said: "Captain Xing, your sabotage team's contribution is indeed not small. Isn't it just sneaking up on the enemy's railway at night to put a trap or lay a mine? Which time did you attack without the support of our main force behind you?" With?¡¡¤¡¤¡¤¡±
Originally, the topic of discussion was to summarize the situation of the Japanese raids some time ago, but now it was mixed up by Zhang Ergou and became the main topic.There is a dispute between the military force and the railway sabotage team, but this is also a normal situation. These gangsters have no culture and they always talk about whatever comes to mind. Military meetings often turn into quarrels.
Seeing that the topic was getting further and further, Li Qinglin knocked on the table and said, "Stop talking about it, stop talking about it! Don't you even look at where it's going? Back to the story, who can tell me about the Eighth Route Army's rebellion this time? Strategy and tactics for mopping up?¡±
Soldiers generally have a competitive spirit. If in private, if the topic of the dispute between the Third Brigade and the Sabotage Brigade comes up, the two families will definitely quarrel endlessly. However, in front of Li Qinglin, even Zhang Ergou, who was coaxing all day long, had to obey. Li Qinglin was not only their commander, but also the one who brought this group of people out of the dead end, and then in this vast land The person who carved out his own world on earth.
Han Jizhong stood up, walked to the map, took the thin wooden stick from Shen Zengshun's hand, and drove Shen Zengshun back to his seat.
"Let me talk about the tactics of the Eighth Route Army in dealing with the Japanese raids this time." Han Jizhong pointed at the map with a wooden stick and said: "This military raid by the Japanese can be said to be a carefully prepared offensive tactic. They made careful preparations before the war. The troops mobilized were also field troops with strong combat effectiveness. The Japanese used a series of tricks in the early stage of the mopping up operation, and these tricks did have some effect. At that time, none of us understood their combat objectives. .¡±
The Japanese first sent troops to attack the New Fifth Army, and then detoured southward along the Ninth Detachment's defense area. When the Japanese went south, the Ninth Detachment did not dare to take it lightly. All the troops that could be mobilized at that time were all ready to go, just to prevent the Japanese from suddenly attacking them. . It was not until later that the two groups of Japs launched an all-out attack on the Eighth Route Army that everyone understood what the Japs' final combat goal was.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of a deep impression on that memory, so when Han Jizhong talked about this, everyone nodded in agreement.
"What I want to focus on next is the experience and lessons learned from the Eighth Route Anti-mopping Operation." Han Jizhong then raised his voice.
