I fought guerrilla warfare in the Yimeng Mountains during the Anti-Japanese War

Little Zhuge continued to talk, saying that he had conducted in-depth research on the anti-encirclement and suppression campaign of the Yimeng Guerrillas and the New Fourth Division, and he had to express his great admiration for them.

"The counter-encirclement and suppression campaign of the Yimeng guerrillas and the New Fourth Division made full use of the limited strategic depth. Their main means of attack in the early stages were artillery harassment tactics. They took advantage of the powerful mobility of the US Army's Type 60 mortars to destroy the Japanese army's heavy firepower configuration along the way. When the Japanese army reached their defense points, they found that there was no heavy firepower support. Facing the heavy firepower structure of the Yimeng guerrillas and the New Fourth Division, without heavy artillery and aircraft support, there was no hope for them to launch the kind of group charge we had in the past."

"To be precise, the Japanese army was a little arrogant this time. First, they should not divide their troops and gather them from the Longhai East Line which is closest to Mengshan, and attack Linyi City first. If nothing unexpected happens, Lengqiang will give up Linyi on his own initiative. With Linyi as the rear, the Japanese army can attack lightly. With 80,000 troops, they can reach Menglianggu within a day, besiege Menglianggu, and tie the hands and feet of the New Fourth Division. The remaining Mengshan will be easier."

"Secondly, there must be military aircraft escorting the march to bomb all dangerous points along the way and ensure the amount of heavy firepower. In this way, we can at least fight the Yimeng guerrillas and the New Fourth Division for some time. Of course, the best result is to destroy the Yimeng guerrillas and the New Fourth Division's mountain regiment, making them unable to occupy the entire Yimeng Mountain area and thus unable to threaten the Jinpu Line and the Longhai East Line."

"Third, the fight between the Yimeng guerrillas and the New Fourth Division seemed simple, as it was full of unexpected tactical arrangements. The base was under siege by a large-scale Japanese army, and they should have retreated to the defense at this time. However, the cold guns did the opposite and destroyed the Japanese airports in Jinan and Qingdao. This step was of utmost importance, and put the Japanese air support into a passive position. They could only mobilize aircraft from Jiangsu and Peiping. This resulted in a lack of synchronization between air and land, and created opportunities for artillery and special forces attacking along the way."

On the other hand, the counterattack on Jinan City was simply a stroke of genius. This Tiger Regiment had no movement before, and only showed its edge when attacking the Jitai Railway Line. The Japanese army never thought that they would dare to attack Jinan City. After taking Jinan City, all situations were opened up. After looting, they retreated in the early morning. Can't they defend Jinan? They can defend it. Leng Qiang has a full understanding of his own strength. Once he defends Jinan City, the Japanese army in North China and Guandong will have to take it back without doing anything. By then, Jinan will be a Shura field, and the Yimeng guerrillas will gradually lose their strength. What they value most is not the powerful firepower, but the veterans who have been tested by hundreds of battles. Leng Qiang will not do such a loss-making business."

"Gentlemen, this is just my superficial opinion. The thief ran away and brandished the sword. It's just hindsight."

The new commander-in-chief of the Ninth War Zone, Bo Ling, bowed his hands to express his admiration. He had also deduced the anti-encirclement and suppression tactics of Shandong Province. Without considering the firepower configuration, it would take at least 200,000 troops to achieve such a result. This was also based on the right time, place and people.

The top leaders understood and could not learn from it. The key point was that the cold guns were now somewhat subsiding. Was it just because of that reason? The Japanese military headquarters was too tolerant.

"Jiansheng, is it possible that the Japanese army will continue to attack the Mengshan base?"

Little Zhuge shook his head:

"It's impossible. The Nightingale Group reported that the Yimeng guerrillas received another batch of weapons from the Americans and distributed them to the New Fourth Division. The heavy long-range mortars and large-caliber and ultra-long-range heavy machine guns. If these two types of weapons are distributed to the Xiashan Regiment, the combat effectiveness will be increased by at least one third. The Japanese army of hundreds of thousands may not be enough, and they are unable to mobilize more. Even if they mobilize a large army at all costs, can they reach Mengshan? What if they can reach Mengshan? I heard that the red grass under Mengshan has grown more than one meter high this year. Those are all nutrients from the corpses of the Japanese devils."

"Jiansheng, set up a group to negotiate with the Americans. We also need to order some of the same weapons. We can't afford too many. So we should buy some for the most important tasks. We can't learn from the others. There should be no problem in just copying them!"

Little Zhuge couldn't help but feel proud. His words were worth it! Negotiating the purchase of weapons was a good opportunity to increase his popularity!

No one mentioned the counterattack on Wuhan anymore. Everyone was talking about how good I was at cold shooting. The atmosphere in the simulation room was lively. As they talked, Shen Honglie also became the focus. Although he had always been following the cold shooting, he had really reached a certain level. With a force of more than 10,000 soldiers, he independently destroyed two Type B divisions. The National Army did not have such ability yet. Although everyone knew that he relied on powerful weapons, the ability to get weapons itself was also an ability!

The person the top leaders are most proud of is Shen Honglie. When he was withdrawn from Qingdao, he perfectly implemented the order of scorched earth resistance. He was originally wanted to be transferred back to Chongqing for reuse, but due to a momentary change of mind, he was delayed by a few months. It was during these few months that he followed Leng Qiang.

After the meeting, the top leaders kept several war zone commanders to continue discussing the current situation, and Little Zhuge was allowed to stay as an exception.

Several people analyzed the US participation in the war mentioned by Leng Qiang. Xiao Zhuge was stunned after hearing it. Is this fortune-telling? Will the US join the war? It's possible, but how can he deduce it accurately to the specific year and month? I thought I had seen through Leng Qiang, but now I only saw the tip of the iceberg.

"Jiansheng, don't be surprised. We don't have enough brains. Now that you know it, analyze the possibility again. If the possibility is high, we must prepare early. If the Japanese dare to start a war on two fronts, we must at least take back the city of Wuhan. Delin, tell me about the inference of the cold gun."

Wuhan seems to have become a concern for the top leaders, but Nanjing does not have such sentiment yet. Perhaps Wuhan’s strategic location is the most central reason.

Li Zongren repeated his analysis of the cold gun in detail and added some of his own opinions, but not much.

Little Zhuge heard what the higher-ups said, but acted as if he didn't hear them. He didn't even have the basic courtesy of nodding. The higher-ups didn't intend to blame him. Instead, he nodded and smiled sinisterly with a few big guys. After listening to Li Zongren's analysis, Little Zhuge was no longer calm.

The Japanese army was weak in national strength and lacked supplies, especially strategic materials such as oil and rubber. They would not be able to survive without them. If China couldn't get them, who would they grab from? Of course, the desperate France and British in Southeast Asia.

Zhuge's forehead was sweating. Will Germany attack the British mainland? Will the United States stop Germany from attacking the British mainland? When the Japanese army starts to attack Southeast Asia, can Britain stop it? Will the United States send reinforcements? Facing such a powerful enemy as the United States, Zhuge's mind flashed with a few words: strike first to gain the upper hand.

I dare not think about it anymore, I dare not continue to make random guesses, and I cannot talk about this matter casually. It is too important. It is okay for ordinary people to talk about it, but it is not okay for me in my position.

It's terrible, not the result, but Leng Qiang's inference ability. If Xiao Zhuge had a trace of disdain or arrogance when he heard about Leng Qiang before, his attitude has completely changed now. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is in awe. However, he had no idea that Chen Feng's judgments were all based on history books.
