Chapter 552
Without the support of the intelligence department, the commander felt like a blind man and a deaf man without eyes and ears, and knew nothing about the National Salvation Army.
Only by knowing oneself and one’s enemy can one win every battle.
If the National Salvation Army has not even figured out the specific situation and launched an attack rashly, a second Noda United team might appear on the battlefield.
One learns from one's mistakes and the commander said that he would not make mistakes twice in a row on the same issue.
In the past few days, we have been cooperating with the Special High School Course to rebuild the intelligence network and collect all intelligence about the National Salvation Army.
The effect is very good.
After the National Salvation Army's defense zone was expanded, all large areas of territory that were originally occupied by the Imperial Army were occupied by the National Salvation Army.
They were not familiar with the specific situation of these territories, so the Special High School had the opportunity to install intelligence personnel in the National Rescue Military Defense Zone.
The surrounding intelligence systems also took advantage of the opportunity of the National Rescue Army recruiting large-scale troops and infiltrated the defense zone of the National Rescue Army to investigate the situation...
By yesterday's layout, some sporadic information had been sent back one after another.
"Report to the Chief, we have received another latest information about the National Salvation Army!" The intelligence officer ran into the war room nervously to report.
These few days have been the busiest days since he was transferred to Shanxi. He was stared at his work by several pairs of eyes. I can’t count how many times he was scolded by the army commander.
Until now, when he saw the commander, he became unconsciously afraid, fearing that he would not do anything well and be scolded by him again.
The commander was anxious when he heard the word "National Salvation Army" and directly bypassed the chief of staff and received the telegram.
The face that was originally not good-looking instantly became even more ugly.
The Chief of Staff knew that this was bad news as soon as he saw the commander's reaction. He wanted to know what was written in the intelligence, but the commander kept holding it in his hand and refused to let go. He couldn't ask for it, so he could only bite the bullet and ask the intelligence officer: "What was said in the intelligence?"
"It was a telegram sent to the National Salvation Army from the Second World War: they transferred Shouyang and Yangquan, which were still occupied by the Imperial Army, into the National Salvation Army's defense zone." The intelligence officer lowered his head and reported.
"As long as we capture these two counties from us, they will be the national rescue army and raise soldiers for them."
"Bageya Road..." The Chief of Staff became angry as soon as he heard this, and couldn't help but curse as he looked at the commander.
"Sir, the Second World War Zone is too bullying, and he actually used the Imperial Army to reward the National Rescue Army. We must teach them a hard lesson. He dared to put his ideas on us. It's too arrogant."
The commander gritted his teeth and replied: "Not only do they bully people too much, they also treat us as guns!"
"Using Yangquan and Shouyang as bait to attract the National Savior Army to attack us. We can use the National Savior Army to consume our strength, and we can also help them get rid of the National Savior Army. They are guarding next to them and reap the benefits of the fisherman!"
After listening to the analysis of the commander, the chief of staff became even more popular and immediately shouted: "Even we dare to plot, it's so hateful. We must teach them a lesson."
"General, I immediately ordered the frontier troops to organize an attack, so that the Second World War Zone would taste the price of provoking us, and to get back the losses we suffered from the National Salvation Army!"
On the front battlefield, the Japanese Shanxi garrisons had not yet been defeated in the battle against the Jinsui Army, and there were a large number of heavy artillery units and aviation units on the front line to cooperate in combat. As long as the commander nodded, the chief of staff was very sure to bite a piece of fat from the Jinsui Army.
Unfortunately, the army commander doesn't want to fight now... no, to be precise, he doesn't dare to fight.
In addition to the Noda United, which was destroyed overnight, the Shanxi garrison lost more than 10,000 people in just ten days, and most of the troops came from the front line.
At this time, take the initiative to attack the Second World War Zone, and the military strength advantage is definitely not on your side.
If I took the wrong medicine in the Second World War and started to ruthlessly, no one could predict the final outcome of this attack.
People will die when they fight. If they are defeated or tied with the Second World War Zone, it will be a bit worse for the Shanxi garrison, which is already short of troops.
Before the front line's troops were replenished, the commander still felt that the stability should be the main focus.
Especially in the occupied areas, there are two variables such as the Eighth Route Army and the National Salvation Army, so we cannot take the initiative to provoke the Second World War Zone.
If the front-line troops launch an attack, the National Salvation Army takes the opportunity to make trouble, cut off the Zhengtai Railway, and drag the offensive troops back, the losses will be huge.
Without a chance to take revenge on the Second World War Zone, the Chief of Staff had to settle for the second best, shifted his attention to the National Saving Army, who had repeatedly failed, and gritted his teeth and replied: "Then we will continue to deal with the National Saving Army!"
"Sir, we took the initiative to attack the National Salvation Army before and fought in the area they occupied. We were not familiar with the place, so we defeated one after another."
"This time, the National Salvation Army was ordered to attack Yangquan and Shouyang and expand the occupied area. We can finally be the defensive side."
"I think as long as we make good use of the terrain of Yangquan and Shouyang and send more troops to it, we will definitely seriously damage the attacking troops of the National Savior Army and let them taste the taste of the failure of the attack!"
"Yangquan and Shouyang have only half a garrison, so they will definitely not be able to stop the attack of the National Savior Army. We should immediately mobilize troops to reinforce them, and build defensive fortifications from now on, and build Shouyang and Yangquan into two meat grinders. After the attack begins, how many troops will the National Savior Army kill and how many troops will we eliminate there!"
The commander agreed with the Chief of Staff’s proposal, but when he heard that the military headquarters had to send troops to reinforce Yangquan and Shouyang, his face became ugly again.
The troops garrisons in Shanxi were already seriously insufficient. Before the replenishment was filled, he was most afraid of hearing the word "spreading troops".
The Chief of Staff saw the Chief of Staff’s concern and continued to report: “Before we attacked the National Salvation Army’s defense zone, and all the Imperial Army sent to the battlefield were sent."
"The way of combat this time is completely different from the previous offense. We belong to the defensive side. The troops do not need too strong combat power, as long as there are enough numbers. Bei Zhi feels that this time we can use the Imperial Army troops on a large scale."
"Although their combat effectiveness is not very good and they are not good at field battles with the enemy, they still have no problem with defense."
"There is no problem for one regiment of the Imperial Army to cooperate with one regiment of the Imperial Army to block the National Salvation Army and to severely damage the opponent in the battle."
"This time we wiped out the National Salvation Army, we lost all the Imperial Army, and the Imperial Army did not lose anything."
"The Imperial Army in Shanxi had 50,000 people. We have drawn 10,000 of them to reinforce Yangquan and Shouyang, and then two brigades were drawn to supervise the battle. We will definitely be able to severely damage the attacking troops of the National Saving Army in the defensive battle!"
The commander's face had just calmed down and his eyes lit up and replied: "As long as there is a position, the Imperial Army can indeed fight a defensive battle. If it fights well, the combat effectiveness of a regiment will be no less than that of the two infantry squadrons of the Imperial Army."
"Chief of Staff, this matter is decided. Ten thousand Imperial Army and two infantry brigades were drawn from Shanxi to reinforce Yangquan and Shouyang, and the two battlefields were built into meat grinders that severely damaged the national rescue army."
"Tell all the Imperial Army officers who participated in the war that as long as they defend their positions on the battlefield, all the officers and soldiers participating in the war will be promoted to one level, and annihilation of a soldier in the country will be rewarded with five oceans. If someone is afraid of the enemy and loses his position on the battlefield, the Imperial Army supervising the war will not need to ask for instructions and be shot directly!"
"World War II wants us to consume the national rescue army to achieve their goal of killing people with a knife. The life of the Imperial Army is so valuable that it will definitely not be used by them."
"The life of the Imperial Army is worthless. It will not take long to rebuild after it is completely destroyed, so that they can consume the strength of the National Rescue Army. We can also be fishermen and stay by the battlefield to reap the benefits of the fishermen."
At the first battalion of the National Salvation Army, the shouts of soldiers sounded at the training ground outside before eight o'clock.
Zhou Cheng arrived here early in the morning, and the chief of staff Chen Zhengyu and the second battalion commander Huang Hu were also here.
In the conference room, looking at the commander sitting in front of him, Dong Fei looked puzzled and had no idea what happened to the commander and chief of staff who came over early in the morning.
The second battalion commander Huang Hu was even more puzzled. He was woken up by the regiment headquarters before dawn, and then rode a horse to the battalion headquarters of the first battalion. Before he had time to have breakfast, he was called to the conference room. Then he saw the regiment commander and the chief of staff sitting in front of him with a serious face.
"Don't be nervous. The Chief of Staff and I come here to announce an appointment to you. I hope you will be prepared in advance and not have any psychological burden!" Zhou Cheng spoke first.
It would be fine if I didn't say this. After saying this, the two battalion commanders became even more nervous. They subconsciously thought that the regiment headquarters would demote the two people, otherwise there would be no reason to prepare them mentally.
Just as they were in their hearts, Chen Zhengyu spoke very seriously: "After research and decision by the regiment headquarters, the first battalion was adapted into the Xiyang garrison, and Dong Fei served as the captain of the garrison. The second battalion was adapted into the Shouyang garrison, and Huang Hu served as the captain of the garrison!"
This appointment was temporarily changed before Zhou Cheng set out.
Originally, the first and second battalions were both Xiyang garrisons. Since the war zone also brought Shouyang to the national rescue army, and the troops could take down Shouyang within three months, it would be too hasty to build the Shouyang garrisons at that time. It would be better to put up the airs of the Shouyang garrisons now.
After the troops take Shouyang, Huang Hu will be given some new recruits, and the garrison will immediately develop combat effectiveness.
The two battalion commanders did not know the size of the garrison, and subconsciously believed that the garrison was adapted from the two battalions.
In this case, the two of them will be demoted.
Although the number of troops under his command has not changed, the level will decrease from the main force to the local force, as usual, as the level will decrease by half.
No wonder the leader asked them to be mentally prepared as soon as he spoke and did not have any burden.
Regardless of whether you are mentally prepared or not, it is not a good thing to be demoted. No matter who is encountered, you will definitely feel lost.
But as a party member and a qualified soldier, no matter how dissatisfied he is, he must firmly obey the orders of his superiors.
After looking at each other, they answered decisively: "Please rest assured that the regiment commander and the chief of staff will be resolutely executed!"
