Chapter 97, Brigade Meeting

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket!Ask for a monthly pass!

……

1940, April 7.

The headquarters of the 386 brigade is located in the combat command room, where a high-level meeting of brigade-level cadres is underway.

The brigade commander just came back from a meeting at the headquarters and briefed Deputy Brigadier Xu, Chief of Staff Zhou, and Political Commissar Wang.

"The cage policy of the Japanese army was first implemented in central Hebei, and then extended to the whole of North China.

They tried to divide and confine our Eighth Route Army bit by bit, and become their caged birds, their meals on their plates, and finally ate them completely. "

All three people in the room nodded. Facing the wishful thinking of the Japanese army, many commanders of the Eighth Route Army were fully aware of this.

In particular, Commander Liu of Shenyin Art of War pointed out sharply that this new tactic of the Japanese army was actually to start a traffic battle with the Eighth Route Army.

Master Liu once said: "When the enemy invaded further in 1937, they put forward the so-called slogan of 'As long as the transportation is guaranteed, the destruction of China is absolutely not a problem'...

In order to maintain the occupied areas, the enemy must have modern transportation conditions.
In fact, not long ago, the Japanese invaders cut off the line of communication between China, Myanmar, and Vietnam, and even attempted to cut off the Yellow River by digging ditches on both sides of Pinghan and Jinpu.

In fact, these not only have military significance, but also include serious political, economic and cultural significance.

In terms of military affairs, we can say that on the Japanese side, the railways are their major troop transport lines, the highways are their small troop transport lines, and their strongholds are their military depots.

In the future, with the gradual consolidation and expansion of railways, highways and strongholds, the Japanese invaders can flexibly mobilize a modern mechanized army and supply arms continuously.
In order to facilitate the continuous "mopping up" to destroy our anti-Japanese base areas, the majority of residents in our North China anti-Japanese base areas will be completely turned into subjugated slaves of the colony.

We can say this, without railways, without roads, there is no stronghold,
Moreover, during the Anti-Japanese War, especially in the enemy's rear, what we needed was small roads, such roads were everywhere, and we could walk everywhere.

If the enemy loses the so-called "morning and evening" railway and highway, it will be unimaginably difficult to march and transport military supplies with its two mud feet. "

Master Liu vividly compared this tactic of the Japanese army to "the railway as the pillar, the road as the network, and the stronghold as the lock."

In order to break the wishful thinking of the Japanese army, Commander Liu suggested to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army as early as the beginning of March to start a traffic war against Japan.

He said: "The enemy's military must rely on modern transportation, so we must thoroughly and comprehensively launch a comprehensive transportation struggle against the enemy.

To enable the majority of residents in the enemy-occupied areas of the Anti-Japanese War to truly combine combat effectiveness with mobilization power.

Continue to carry out long-term and arduous traffic struggles with the enemy bandits, while destroying the enemy's traffic, while smoothing our traffic.

It allows us to freely use our strengths in guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare.To build and strengthen our troops, to combat fragmented bodies, broken blood vessels, and to relieve the severed enemy troops. "

They have learned about these contents in previous meetings, and they highly agree with them.

Chief of Staff Zhou said angrily: "Old Chen, the Japanese invaders are too rampant, and they underestimate us too much. We must show them some color."

Deputy Brigadier Xu said: "Lao Zhou, don't worry, we have to study how to deal with the Japanese devils. Listen to Lao Chen slowly."

"Yes!"

Political commissar Wang, who has always been prudent, said, "The devil's actions are not small, so we have to study them carefully. In any case, we must find a way to break the enemy's 'cage' policy!"

In my opinion, in order to break the 'cage', we must constantly destroy the enemy's traffic, so that the enemy's traffic will change from convenient to inconvenient. "

Brigadier Chen nodded approvingly to the political commissar, and then he said to the deputy brigade commander and the chief of staff, "Come, let's see the situation in North China."

Everyone turned their attention to the map hanging on the wall.

The brigade commander pointed to the map marked with dense roads and strongholds and said: "

The headquarters believes that the enemy has built such a long road, built so many strongholds and adjustment forts, and divided the North China region of Nuoda into pieces, which looks scary enough.

However, these are dead things, and they can neither be carried on their backs nor dragged away.

This is the Achilles heel of Tada Hayao's so-called new tactics, and we are going to seize his weakness and attack. "

What the brigade commander said made Commissar Wang's almost blind eyes light up, and he said excitedly: "The head of the headquarters is right.

The more the enemy's fortifications and strongholds are built, the more dispersed the troops will be, and the more weaknesses will be exposed.

On the contrary, it is beneficial for us to concentrate our forces, fight more and attack less, and defeat each one. "

Commissar Wang's eyes are highly myopic. During the Long March, he was not able to wear glasses. When he crossed the mountain road, he walked carefully with his hands. Now that he has glasses, the brigade commander even jokes about him.

It was not easy to see the light in his eyes.

Chief of Staff Zhou, who had been frowning tightly, suddenly loosened his eyebrows: "Yes! According to our intelligence estimates,

Now the number of enemy strongholds in North China is quite astonishing. There are more than 500 in the central Jizhong area alone, with an average of one stronghold less than 10 miles away.

A stronghold must have at least one squad of enemy troops stationed, how many soldiers the enemy must send! "

The deputy brigade commander bent his fingers and said: "The total strength of the Japanese army in North China is only about 25, and the enemy will send a large number of troops to defend the communication lines.

There are not many usable soldiers in Tada Jun's hands, which is the key to breaking the 'cause of cause'. "

Hearing this, the brigade commander said loudly: "Yes, the reason why the Japanese army is so crazy is because of their mechanized equipment.

And their mechanized equipment is extremely dependent on transportation such as railways and roads. As long as we cut off the enemy's communication lines,

The Japanese army lost two legs, and their modern equipment became useless and vulnerable. "

"it is good!"

Political Commissar Wang agreed, saying to the deputy captain and Chief of Staff Zhou: "Now the diehards in Chongqing have been suppressed by us.

The next step should be to organize troops to launch a sabotage campaign against the enemy's communication lines. "

"Old Chen, am I right?"

Good guy, the 386th brigade has a net of talents, and a few people have analyzed them all in a hurry. Those who don't know think this is the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army!
The brigade commander made further introductions and supplements.

"The opportunity for the upcoming large-scale raid is that after the enemy and the puppet penetrate into our base area, they will generally build fortifications and disperse their troops, which will instead form a emptiness behind the enemy.

The main lines of communication are empty and the defense is weak, which is a favorable opportunity for us.

The enemy and the puppet stubbornly spread rumors everywhere in North China to confuse the masses and sow discord between the Eighth Route Army and the common people.

For example, they said, 'The Eighth Route Army swims but does not attack', 'The Eighth Route Army only fights friendly troops and does not attack Japanese troops, and so on.

Some people did not understand the truth, fell into the trap, and became suspicious of our Eighth Route Army.

Under the austerity of the "curve to save the country", some troops in the Guo Party surrendered to the Japanese army one after another and became puppet troops.

The Guo party even secretly recognized the legalization of the puppet army.

At present, the Japanese invading army has stopped its large-scale offensive on the frontal battlefield, shifted its focus to North China, and continuously raided the anti-Japanese base areas behind our enemy lines.

From March of this year to the present, a large area of ​​the North China Anti-Japanese Base Area has rapidly become a guerrilla zone.

At present, only two of our original more than 100 counties are left, one is Pingshun County in the Taihang Mountains, and the other is Pianguan County in the northwest of Pupu.

As a large area of ​​the base area became a guerrilla zone, the masses who were originally burdened by one side became burdened by two sides.

It is also necessary to fight against the burden of the Japanese government, but also to bear the burden of the enemy and puppet regime.

The common people are miserable and urgently ask us to deal a heavy blow to the Japanese and puppet troops and quickly change the current situation. "

After speaking, the atmosphere in the room was dull.

Commissar Wang broke the atmosphere with a smile: "Aren't we taking action now? Give the Japanese aggressors a hard blow, and the days to come will get better and better."

Adjusting the atmosphere and being an assistant, Lao Wang is indeed a good hand.

Brigadier Chen either said that his old partner was Zhuge alive.Half of his credit book belongs to his good partner.

The order of the headquarters required no less than 22 regiments to directly participate in the Zhengtai Line operations.

It is scheduled to complete the investigation, equipment preparation, and troop mobilization before August 8.

The 386th brigade is next to the Zhengtai line, and the whole brigade is naturally the main force of this raid.

Needless to say, the 771 regiment and the 772 regiment were adapted from the old foundation of the Red Army and the core force of the 386 brigade.

But if you fight a tough battle, you can't just count on these two regiments.

Li Yunlong's new second regiment is also a good player.

The brigade commander thought for a while and then asked: "How are the Xinyi regiment and the independent regiment doing?"
