Several main commanders of the Third Division also woke up from their sleep after receiving the order. Some of them wore a pair of slippers and ran to the headquarters.
Inside the headquarters, the oil lamp was lit, emitting a somewhat turbid, amber light.
Xie Changlong yawned and stuttered as he asked: "What's the matter, Master? Did the little Japs come over so late at night?"
Qin Shiming smoked a cigarette and stared at the map and said, "Here we come."
"Ah? Are you really here?"
Xie Changlong was stunned for a moment and became much more energetic.
Bai Shaoqing who was on the side said: "Why, I hear what you mean, I'm a little disappointed."
"Can you shut the fuck up?"
Xie Changlong on the side said immediately.
Qin Shi understood the two of them and glanced at them. After asking both of them to choose silence, he said: "Okay, the information we have obtained is limited now. From the information we have obtained, there are quite a few little devils on the opposite side. There are enough Seven to eight thousand people.
"This is just the beginning. If we really count them, the number of Japs on the opposite side may far exceed this number, and it may be another reorganized division-level force.
"These little devils probably chose to dispatch suddenly because the logistics warehouse of the Fifth Division was bombed. Many troops even did not carry basic supplies when they set off. "
"The logistics warehouse was bombed? Who bombed it?"
Luo Cheng on the side asked.
Qin Shiming raised his head and said, "Me."
"Oh, that's okay."
Bai Shaoqing said immediately.
"For a few of them, there is no need to be surprised if Qin Shiming did such a thing.
Even when Qin Shiming said that he had just killed the fifth division headquarters opposite, they would not be surprised. After all, Qin Shiming had done similar things before.
"The current situation is that we need to mobilize some of our troops, or even a considerable part of our troops, to defend the Japanese troops who suddenly support us from the opposite side.
On the other hand, we also need to mobilize troops to attack the Japanese Fifth Division and give them sufficient defensive pressure.
Frankly speaking, it is very difficult to annihilate the Japanese Fifth Division just relying on the strength of the Sichuan Army.
Their offensive power is very limited. The Japanese army on the opposite side only occupies a more favorable terrain and builds a decent defensive position. Relying on the firepower they have on hand, it is almost impossible to attack them. "
Qin Shiming talked about the current situation and some of his worries.
"In this case, if we use our approximately 10,000 troops separately, the possible result is that the defense cannot withstand the Japanese support troops on the opposite side, and the offense cannot kill the Fifth Division on the opposite side."
Luo Cheng told the worst-case scenario, "The final result is that we lose everything, while the Japanese army on the opposite side completely reverses the situation and turns defeat into victory."
¡°That¡¯s what I¡¯m very worried about right now.¡±
Qin Shiming said frankly, "But the good news is that our support troops will arrive soon.
Brigadier Guo and Brigadier Dai¡¯s troops will feel this area in the next few days. "
"This is indeed good news, but it is only a slight relief."
Bai Shaoqing said, "At this time, can we contact Lao Zhang and return Lao Bai and the others?"
"Mobilize our troops in the Dabie Mountains?"
Luo Cheng raised his head and said.
Bai Shaoqing said: "No, it's Lu'an City. Don't we have a lot of troops there? Now Lao Bai is training troops there. He is good at training troops. This adds up to more than a month, right? Basic The fighting ability is still there.
Even if we can¡¯t mobilize these troops directly to the front and enter the battlefield in organized groups, we can still disperse them to our various troops. "
Qin Shiming pondered for a while and began to think about this proposal.
For him, hard work in the Dabie Mountains is the foundation for him to fight here with peace of mind.
"It would be absolutely unacceptable if all the power in the Dabie Mountains area was drained and hostile forces took advantage of it and destroyed his hard work there.
Therefore, the garrison troops in the Dabie Mountains must not act rashly.
It¡¯s Lu¡¯an City, where they have recruited a lot of troops,?A considerable part of the troops are still the troops of the previous warlords. After they recruit these people, they can obtain good combat effectiveness with only a little training.
After all, these people at least know basic combat skills compared to the previous farmers who only knew how to hold hoes.
"How many troops do we still have in Lu'an City?"
Qin Shiming asked at this time.
Zhang Xiaodao, who was on the sidelines, immediately said: "According to the latest report, we have 6,000 troops in Lu'an City.
However, according to what Lao Bai said, many of them are just new recruits who have undergone basic training, but their combat effectiveness is relatively not that strong.
To reach his standards, it will take at least about a month of training. "
"I can't wait any longer. I will immediately mobilize 5,000 people, led by Zhang Shuigen himself, to support the direction of Tai'an."
Qin Shiming said, "As a reserve force, this unit can supplement the lost strength of our combat units."
"yes!!!"
Zhang Xiaodao said immediately.
If this unit can arrive here, then they can continue fighting in this direction for at least one more month.
"Far water cannot quench the near thirst. I think we still need to consider how to deal with the two aspects of the battle."
Luo Cheng said at this moment.
"Wait for the news from Commander Sun. If Brigadier Guo and Brigadier Dai's troops can arrive in these two days, our battle will be much simpler."
Qin Shiming said, rubbing his eyes.
The battle plan they had formulated before was about to be implemented. The little devil on the opposite side suddenly changed the battle plan, which caught him a little off guard.
Just as he was talking, Lu Han ran over and said: "Master, here's the news. Commander Sun said that their troops are now less than thirty kilometers away from us. If nothing happens, they will arrive during the day.
If you march quickly, you can arrive at noon. "
Hearing this, Qin Shiming was overjoyed.
In fact, Guo Rugui and Dai Anlan's troops had already set off a few days ago.
They took the train and arrived at Tai'an City, where they only received the necessary supplies. After resting for a day, they began to head from the mountains and forests in the direction of Qin Shiming and the others. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
