Others show their swords, I show my missiles!

About 40 Japanese were annihilated in this battle. It is impossible to count them in detail. Five puppet soldiers surrendered.

At the same time, people in Wuxiang County were not so polite.

At 6 a.m. sharp, 720 155mm howitzer shells hit the city walls and gates on the east, north, and west sides of Wuxiang County.

The city wall of Wuxiang County is high and thick, and it cannot withstand the bombardment of 720 155mm howitzer shells! Soon one city wall collapsed and two city gates were damaged, and the chasm became a thoroughfare.

The yellow-shoe army guarding the city gate escaped immediately, and only five people died. There were not many Japanese on the city wall, about 5 of them died, and they were not counted as they had been blown to pieces.

Although not many Japanese were killed in the explosion, the movement was loud enough and shocking enough.

The Japanese thought that our army was going to attack the county town.

Wake up all the Japanese and gather urgently. Pick up weapons, enter various houses and prepare for street fighting.

As a result, after waiting for an hour, the Eighth Route Army did not attack.

Only then did we learn that the Eighth Route Army only wanted to use the city wall of Wuxiang County to train the artillery regiment's night combat capabilities.

There was no thought of attacking the city at all.

Since then, the collapsed city wall has not bothered to repair.

The Japanese were even wondering whether to give up Wuxiang.

When the city wall is complete, although it cannot block large-caliber artillery shells, when our army uses artillery to demolish the city wall, we can buy some time to organize street fighting.

Now that the city wall is gone, the Japanese can't even sleep peacefully. I have to sleep with my gun in my arms every day.

I'm afraid that our soldiers will silently touch the door of the military camp. Once I close my eyes, I won't open them again, and my life will be over.

As a result, several fire accidents occurred.

A fire breakout in a military camp is not a matter of killing one or two Japs.

When you are under sustained high levels of stress, you are prone to mental and psychological problems.

When some Japanese soldiers woke up suddenly and saw a dark figure, they thought the Eighth Route Army had come in, so they raised their guns and shot.

Then the camp was blown up.

It took me a long time to find out that it was a misunderstanding.

In the end, it was not even clear who fired the first shot.

Later, we had no choice but to restore the situation to its original state on the basis of intensifying patrols.

When going to bed at night, guns and grenades must be handed over to the warehouse.

The Japanese from Wuxiang reported the situation to Souchong Yinan and wanted to apply to abandon Wuxiang.

Although Souchong Kazuo also felt that Wuxiang County only relied on two city walls and three city walls, it was extremely difficult to defend.

By the way, Xiyang is surrounded by walls on all sides, so there’s no way to defend it, right?

However, Souchong Kazuo did not dare to give this order.

If you give up a county today; give up a county tomorrow.

Soon, only Taiyuan will be left in Jin Province.

If such a thing really happened, he would definitely be ordered to commit seppuku by the base camp.

Therefore, Souchong Yinan asked the Wuxiang Japs to actively prepare for war; the surrounding Japs also moved closer to Wuxiang, hoping to form a local advantage.

However, because of the southern issue, our army does not want to disrupt the situation now.

There was no plan to capture Wuxiang.

But if the Japanese dare to enter our liberated areas to carry out raids, the Japanese who go there to carry out raids will sometimes be able to come back, and sometimes they will not be able to come back.

However, Wuxiang and Yushe will definitely be attacked.

The same is true for Luzhou in the south of the liberated area.

As long as the Japanese invade our liberated areas, they will inevitably be retaliated against.

After repeating this several times, the Japanese finally found a pattern: as long as they no longer attack the liberated areas, both sides will be in peace for the time being.

Therefore, Japanese commanders from all walks of life unanimously prohibited their subordinates from attacking the liberated areas.

Even if you just pass by the liberated area, you must be careful.

Since then, the liberated areas have truly become a pure land without war.

More than ten days later, Zhang Dabiao happily said to Li Yunlong:

"Brigadier, your offensive-defensive approach is really good!

The Japs have been at peace for several days. We can finally build with peace of mind.

In total, more than 5 Japanese were killed in these days. Our troops had zero casualties and five civilians died.

The results are very good!

Moreover, we also achieved the purpose of training by fighting the Japanese. "

Li Yunlong said: "This is not enough, our special operations group has not been trained yet. Next, you can arrange for them to sneak into the county, investigate the situation, cause some damage, and assassinate a few little devils. Make the special operations group truly worthy of the name Special Forces!

In addition, don’t miss out on recruit training.

Shooting training, physical training, and stabbing training must be carried out.

There are also cultural classes to keep up with.

It is expected that we will only be able to train in a month or two, and we will be fighting again soon.

This year we must liberate the entire Shanxi Province no matter what! "

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away." Da Biao agreed.

"Old Li still has something!" Zhao Gang praised.

"That's right! You have to see whose army this is! Don't mention defense to our old Li in the future!

This kind of defensive operation based on offense and defense also has a name, it is called 'mobile defense'.

Its characteristics are: avoiding dispersing troops on long front lines and avoiding protracted wars of attrition.

It can have the mobility of an attacker and the convenience of fighting at home.

Concentrate your defense forces and use them.

Through attack, destroy the enemy's vitality. It is suitable for situations where the defense line is too long and the troops are insufficient.

If the enemy's attack direction happens to be where our defense strength is empty, then retreat in large strides.

Instead, concentrate our forces to attack the enemy's weak areas; or our defensive forces can go around behind this part of the enemy and wrap them up. "

Zhang Dabiao nodded when he heard this and said: "I understand, this is the same as mobile warfare: it doesn't matter the gains and losses of one city or one place."

Li Yunlong said: "Yes, this is mobile warfare. This puts forward higher requirements for command operations:

We must be able to select targets to destroy enemies in a timely and correct manner; we must actively create or capture fighter opportunities.

All units must coordinate closely.

New requirements have also been put forward for our troops: the mobility of the troops must be further improved; the transition between offense and defense must be faster.

The coordination capabilities of various military services must be strengthened; the information sharing capabilities must be improved.

We must also attack the enemy's information system and protect our information system.

At the same time, it must be combined with traditional positional warfare.

When you need to hold your ground, you must be able to hold it.

Some defensive battles must ensure that a certain position is not lost.

For example, the time when they surrounded and annihilated the Japanese 224th Regiment a few days ago.

At that time, the special operations group had to stay in position. If at that time, the special operations group did not hold its position. The 224th Regiment all fled to Luzhou through the torn hole. "

"Yes, a force that can fight tough battles will never become obsolete at any time and is our treasure.

Just because mobile defense is advocated, positional defense cannot be denied.

Mobile defense is more suitable when the enemy is strong and we are weak, or when our troops are insufficient.

If the enemy is weak and we are strong, and the enemy dares to come to the position to provoke us, then there is no need for mobile defense.

Just push it all the way! "Commissar Zhao expressed his understanding.

"Old Zhao is right. To make iron, you need to be tough yourself.

If the enemy is a stone, we ourselves are an egg. Then no matter how maneuverable it is, it’s all for nothing!

You can only get out when you see the enemy! "

"Hahaha!" Zhang Dabiao and Zhao Gang both laughed.
