Bright Sword: An eight-year-old boy led a group to fight the Japanese invaders

Wu Gang also said, "Captain, there is nothing wrong with the political commissar's suggestion. Our troops are developing rapidly, but their combat effectiveness has been weakened.

Just give me half a year, and a Japanese brigade will definitely not be our opponent."

Wang Ye knew the combat effectiveness of the troops better than anyone else, so he stopped them and said,

"Jing County is mostly plains, especially the road from Ping County, where there are basically no suitable blocking locations.

As for the combat effectiveness of the troops, you don't have to worry about it. The combat style of our independent battalion is firepower first.

So my opinion is to use Jingxian County as bait to force the devils into a decisive battle.

As long as Jing County can be defended, the Japs won't dare to split their forces!"

Seeing Wang Ye's resolute tone, Zhao Gang had to remind him, "Captain, the combat effectiveness of the troops has not yet been formed. Such a large-scale operation will be extremely disadvantageous to us!"

Wu Gang nodded in agreement.

Wang Ye said indifferently, "My great political commissar, don't think too much. The current situation is that the Japs haven't made a move yet. Who knows what the Japs are planning?"

At the headquarters of the 39th Brigade of the Japanese in Pingxian, Major General Sekigahara Roku is discussing the Jingxian issue with the Chief of Staff Colonel Maekawa Iruma.

"Mr. Maekawa, we have basically figured out the strength of the Jinbei Independent Battalion entrenched in Jingxian and Pingyang.

This independent battalion has about 10,000 soldiers, half of whom are new recruits.

There is not much information about their weapons and equipment, but judging from previous battles, they possess a large number of heavy weapons.

What plans does your staff have for this battle? "

Maekawa Iruma was 42 years old, short and stocky with a big head. He was holding the operational files prepared by the General Staff.

"Major General, I have to remind you that a troop of the Empire broke into the base of the Eighth Route Army two days ago and was wiped out by the heavy firepower of the Eighth Route Army.

The Imperial reconnaissance plane saw that the top of Lijiapo Mountain was full of craters. We have to be on guard for this battle!"

After reading the intelligence, Guan Yuanliu said solemnly, "So, the heavy weapons of the Eighth Route Army are now more powerful than our brigade?"

It really subverted his cognition.

No, the Sekigahara Regiment reread the intelligence and said, "Maekawa-kun, the intelligence says that the Yamazaki Battalion entered the hinterland of the Eighth Route Army base and found the arsenal and field hospital.

So he was facing the secret weapons hidden by the Tubalu, a force that they would never use unless they had no other choice.

Our enemy this time is just a local force under the Tubalu Army!"

Maekawa reminded, "Major General, we have no way to prove whether the troops stationed in Jing County are local troops.

But their firepower was really strong and the 3rd Brigade was indeed wiped out by them."

Guan Yuanluo's heart tightened. There were so many other names to call it, why did it have to be called the Independent Battalion? This name would easily make people let down their guard!

"Has your staff come up with a battle plan?"

Qianchuan handed over another report, "Our opinion is to surround the independent brigade in Jingxian and then annihilate it.

Only in this way can we have enough troops to attack other counties later.

The purpose of this operation is not only to destroy the independent battalion, but also to take back all the original garrisons of the Third Brigade!"

"Hey, Maekawa-kun, the General Staff's operational plan is good, let's implement it.

However, as for the Imperial Army, I plan to arrange a squadron to go in and supervise them, so as to ensure their combat effectiveness!"

Maekawa Iruma said cautiously, "The intelligence department has not yet given a clear report on the strength of the independent brigade entrenched in Jing County.

However, they had a strong control over the local area. Since the order from the Fujiwara Division Commander was issued,

The intelligence department has sent several groups of personnel, but so far they have not been able to penetrate Jing County, and there is very little intelligence related to the military.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that this unit does not have many soldiers. Even if they recruit soldiers in Jing County, they will not have enough time!"

"well!"

Guan Yuanliu praised, "Maekawa-kun's analysis makes sense. As long as we keep enough pressure on Jingxian,

They don't have time to train soldiers. I think the combat plan formulated by the General Staff is feasible!"

Maekawa Iruma explained, "We plan to detach a part of our forces and march south along the Shota Road.

Get off at the border of Jingxian and Pingyang, then head west, straight to the south of Jingxian, blocking the road of the independent brigade back to Pingyang.

In this way, with the 77th Regiment and part of the Imperial Army attacking from the north and south, the independent battalion was completely wiped out in Jing County. "

Sekigahara Roku pointed at the battle plan and asked, "Are you planning to call for aircraft support?"

"Yes, air support is essential just in case!"

"Hmm~!" Sekigahara Roku didn't expect the staff led by Maekawa to be so cautious.

However, he still reminded that "the battle in which the Watanabe Regiment of the 3rd Brigade was destroyed showed that this unit had anti-aircraft firepower.

So even if you call for aircraft support, you still have to remind them to pay attention to safety.

If anything happens to the flight group here, you and I will be blamed!"

"Hey!"

Two days later, Wang Ye was thinking about the information in his hand. Zhao Gang said puzzledly,

"What are the Japs doing? Why are the Japs in Jing County not making any movement?

If we wait any longer, the grain in all the counties will be harvested, and where will they find food when they come over?"

Wang Ye also felt that there was a problem. The Japanese were under great pressure to supply logistics.

There were wars everywhere in North China, all for the purpose of obtaining enough food, otherwise the Japanese would have a very difficult winter.

"The devils must have a conspiracy!"

Wang Su said in a resounding voice, "Brother, do you think it is possible that the Japanese look down on us, so they are not in a hurry at all?"

"Impossible! Although the devils are arrogant, we have already wiped out the Third Brigade.

If Sekigahara Roku dares to be arrogant, Fujiwara no Nakayoshi will not let him off!

Especially regarding the issue of military rations. They can't find enough military rations for this battle. Not to mention Fujiwara Nakayoshi, even Yuzuka Yoshio won't let her go!"

"That's strange. What are the devils waiting for?"

"Report!" said the correspondent Jinmen.

"Captain, Political Commissar, the reconnaissance squadron sent a telegram saying that they found traces of the puppet cavalry brigade near Zhengtai Road, east of Jing County!"

Wang Ye was startled and opened the map of Jing County and put it on the table. "East of Jing County, what are the puppet troops doing here?"

Wang Ye was puzzled. "Immediately contact Wang Erde and tell him to keep a close eye on the trains on Zhengtai Road, especially those near Jingxian and Pingyang.

If there is any situation, please report it at any time! "

Wu Gang asked in confusion, "What does it mean that the puppet army is here? The cavalry brigade is rushing in quickly, who does he want to attack?"

"The Trash Cavalry Brigade is just a bunch of rubbish. They can't defeat anyone even if they're charging!" Wang Su said disdainfully.
