He wanted to personally direct this battle, put the Japanese troops into pocket formations, and then take advantage of the darkness to annihilate them. This was also a battle plan jointly formulated by him and his staff.
General He originally thought that such a combat plan would be used in Beiping City at the earliest.
As a result, the Japanese army took the lead in launching a fierce attack on Tianjin, which was beyond his expectation.
However, it is understandable now. After all, Tianjin is closer to the coastline and has been unable to be captured. The Japanese army will be greatly restricted in terms of maneuvering troops back and forth, or in terms of logistical supplies.
In the city of Tianjin, the original military police headquarters of the Japanese army has now been used as the temporary headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.
The orange incandescent light is like the moon swaying in the water, illuminating the map of white paper and black lines with a somewhat blurry and old light.
Surrounded by the map, the commanders participating in the meeting were all looking in the direction of the door.
Finally, General He walked in from the door wearing a blue military uniform.
In his hand, he also held a nanmu pipe. Under his thick beard, smoke was spitting out from between his lips.
Seeing General He walking into the headquarters, the Eighth Route Army commanders inside subconsciously took half a step forward and saluted him.
General He held his pipe and gestured for everyone to sit down.
Then, he took off his coat and placed it on the backrest behind the wooden chair.
In the pipe, the burning tobacco leaves are fiery red, like the red moon rising in the dark night. White tobacco smoke curls up and lingers under the incandescent lamp.
¡°Let¡¯s get down to business, how many Japanese soldiers are there?¡±
General He looked at the map on the table and said.
An Eighth Route Army staff officer stood up and reported: "Reporting to the division commander, according to our intelligence, the main force of about three Japanese brigades has entered our pocket formation.
Two Japanese brigade groups are located in the front, and one Japanese brigade group is located at the exit of our pocket formation.
There are about fifteen thousand people in total. Report completed! ! "
After he finished his report, he was still standing there until General He gently tapped his palm and motioned for him to sit down.
General He looked at the map, pondered for a long time, then took a puff of cigarette and said leisurely: "The number of troops we can mobilize around Tianjin this time is about 25,000.
Although there are a lot of people, the enemy army is on the periphery, and there are still more than one division of troops.
In terms of absolute numbers, we do not have an advantage, and we are even at a complete disadvantage. How to fight this battle"
Having said this, he smiled, pointed at the map with his pipe and said, "That's telling!"
Everyone knew that General He was waiting for them to say something.
Generally speaking, General He will listen to the opinions of his subordinates after convening a military meeting. He waited until everyone had finished speaking before making the final decision.
This is part of the military democracy that the Eighth Route Army has always advocated, and it is conducive to brainstorming.
Of course, General He still has the final say on the battle plan.
An Eighth Route Army brigade commander stood up and said loudly: "Report to the division commander, I have something to say."
"explain!"
General He lowered his head and took out some tobacco leaves from the belt around his waist.
The broken tobacco leaves in the nanmu pipe are already burning out.
The Eighth Route Army brigade commander said loudly: "I think the key to concentrating superior forces and annihilating the enemy is when there is a huge disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves.
Block the enemy's peripheral troops and rescue the besieged Japanese troops. This is also the difficulty of tonight's battle. "
"What do you recommend?"
General He put away his pipe and said seriously.
"I think we should carry out a certain degree of feint attack on the enemy's outer camps to give them a sense of crisis. In this way, they will not dare to act rashly, and at the same time they will not be able to distinguish where the focus of our attack is."
As the Eighth Route Army brigade commander spoke, he pointed at the map and explained in detail: "To achieve this, you can request Air Force support from Commander Xia.
Their aerial firepower has an absolute advantage. By contacting our army, we can also carry out large-scale bombing missions in predetermined areas at night.
After their bombing is over, we can use battalion and company-level troops to launch a feint attack against the Japanese main force camp.
interfere with their judgment,Let them mistakenly think that the main force is threatened, so they have no time to take care of the three Japanese divisions in the pocket formation. "
He finished speaking in one breath, with slight beads of sweat flowing down his forehead.
After hearing this, General He nodded and said: "The plan is good, but the enemy on the opposite side is not a fool. The actions we have taken may not be enough."
Having said this, he pondered for a while, and then said: "You organize the field volunteers in the city, let them hold torches and firecrackers, and cooperate with the surrounding troops.
Remember, do not let them participate in frontal battles, just use torches and firecrackers in the dark to confuse the Japanese army. "
"What a great idea."
An Eighth Route Army commander said.
Their battlefield volunteer group is a volunteer group voluntarily organized by students and ordinary Tianjin people.
In the past few days, their task was to help the Eighth Route Army troops, dig trench defenses outside the city, and transport various supplies.
There are quite a few of them. Taken together, there are at least four to five thousand people.
This does not include stretcher teams, volunteer transport teams, volunteer publicity teams and other organizations.
"In the darkness, the little devils don't have night vision goggles. They can't tell our reality from reality.
Let them all hold torches and firecrackers and scatter them in front of the Japanese army, which is enough to confuse the Japanese army. "
General He pinched his waist and said, but the pipe was already stuffed into his waist.
"Okay, let's organize them now. Then use trucks and cars to transport them to the outskirts of the Japanese camp outside the city."
The political commissar of the Eighth Route Army in charge of the field volunteer group said loudly at this time.
General He nodded, and then said: "Remember, tell them that if the Japanese army launches a large-scale attack, they will retreat to Tianjin City. Do not have any form of contact with the Japanese army."
"These volunteer groups are not armed organizations after all. They have no ability to fight the Japanese army.
It was just dark at this time, and at the sound of the assembly whistle, those from the field volunteer group immediately began to assemble under the leadership of the instructors assigned by the Eighth Route Army. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
