When our troops fought with the Jinsui Army, the exchange ratio was often four to one, or even five to one, and the highest troops could reach twelve to one.
¡°But when fighting against the Eighth Route Army troops, especially when fighting against some experienced troops, this ratio will drop significantly, basically maintaining a one-to-one ratio.
I have made a rough deduction. If our soldiers on both sides have the same weapons, then the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side will definitely be more powerful than us. "
"Really? I didn't hear much about this when I was at the General Staff Headquarters."
Okamura Neji said.
He had always felt that China's most elite troops had been exhausted on the Songhu battlefield.
Among the remaining troops, some have a firm will to fight, but their overall military quality is poor, and their weapons and equipment are also poor.
Although some of them have decent equipment, the level of their commanders is uneven, causing their troops to always fail and retreat in very strange ways.
If you have to let Neji Okamura say it, since entering the North China region, the troops he has encountered with truly strong combat effectiveness are the troops commanded by Qin Shiming himself.
¡°Their strength is relatively weak and their numbers are small.
Our relevant intelligence shows that the troops of the Eighth Route Army only have four divisions, and a considerable part of them are still in the Shaanxi area, instead of fighting us in Shanxi.
???????????????????????????????????????????¡ "
Qian Yuechuan said, ¡°I don¡¯t think they are worth fearing because their numbers are too small, and the Kuomintang also has conflicts with them and rarely provides them with weapons and equipment.
"If such a force fights with us in Shanxi for a long time and cannot obtain logistical supplies, then if they want to fight with us for a long time, the final result they will face will inevitably be to consume their own strength bit by bit and then lead to destruction. "
"Then do you have any better way to deal with them?"
Okamura Neji asked.
He wanted to see if he could get some tips on how to deal with Qin Shiming from Qian Yuechuan's experience in dealing with the Eighth Route Army.
¡°No, our previous decision was to block all forces that could be exploited by them and reduce their area of ??activity.
In order to achieve this, we built a large number of strongholds, bunkers, etc. along railways, highways, etc., just to reduce their living space.
At the same time, we regularly conduct large-scale sweeps and rural clearance campaigns in rural areas beyond our control.
But after a few times, we found that these guys didn¡¯t seem to be affected too much.
To be precise, in our several battles, we did not even encounter their main force. They were just some guerrillas of about a few hundred people struggling with us. "
When talking about this, Qian Yuechuan thought of some not-so-good memories.
When fighting in Shanxi, the guerrillas appeared and disappeared, and when they waved their fists and smashed them hard, they hit the air with helplessness and anger.
"Well, speaking of it, Qin Shiming's fighting methods are actually somewhat similar to those of the Eighth Route Army you mentioned.
They are also hidden in areas beyond our reach, such as those valleys, dense forests, and rural areas that we have ignored.
These places became the hiding places for their troops.
When our troops moved forward, they used their familiarity with the terrain to carry out non-stop attacks on us.
When we lose patience and plan to pursue them, they will divide and surround us, and then defeat us one by one.
If we assemble the main force and want to fight him to the death, he will disperse his forces and carry out uninterrupted sneak attacks on our transportation routes and rear troops, just like a swarm of flies and sparrows. It is really impossible to guard against it. ah. "
Having said this, he sighed, and his whole expression became a little disappointed.
"I see. In this way, they are equivalent to the Eighth Route Army with stronger troops and better equipment?"
Qian Yuechuan said this.
"That's understandable."
Okamura Neji said, "Do you have any good ideas?"
Qian Yuechuan pondered for a while, and then said: "As for this, I think??We won't know until they fight each other. "
"Forget it, there is an old saying in China that says there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. Let's wait until we fight him and then see how to deal with this hateful guy."
Okamura Neji said and walked out of the headquarters.
Their troops have now assembled in the early morning night.
There were still an hour or two before dawn, but they had already taken advantage of the darkness and started heading towards the fried rice shop.
A train loaded with Japanese troops emitted white steam amidst the sound of whistles and headed towards the fried rice shop.
When the Japanese troops set off from Jinan City, Qin Shiming's spy here had already begun to pass on relevant information at this time.
Qin Shiming and his party, who had just returned from the enemy's rear and returned to the fried rice shop, slept for less than two hours when they were awakened by relevant intelligence.
Zhang Xiaodao put the information in front of Qin Shiming and said: "Master, the latest news is that the little devils in Jinan City have set off.
They seemed to be very anxious. The brothers at the train station said that the Japanese troops set off first without even putting a lot of supplies on the car. "
Qin Shiming rubbed his eyes, yawned and said, "After we destroyed the material warehouse, the little devils on the opposite side were also anxious."
With that said, he took the telegram over, read it carefully, and then said, "It seems like we have to hurry up."
"what to do?"
Zhang Xiaodao asked.
Qin Shiming immediately said: "Gather the main commanders and let's hold a meeting to discuss the next phase of the operation. At the same time, you send a telegram to Commander Sun and tell him that the Japs from Jinan City have set off and there are many troops.
We must attack the besieged Fifth Division as soon as possible.
"In addition, there is another important question. Ask him when Guo Rugui and Dai Anlan's troops will arrive at the scheduled combat position. I need their cooperation to complete the annihilation of the Japanese Fifth Division. "
"yes!!"
Zhang Xiaodao said, immediately turned around and left, sending relevant telegrams to Sun Zhen's military headquarters to inquire about the situation. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
