As the chief of staff of the guerrilla corps, Ma Desheng was also quite surprised!
You must know that he assisted Li Guoyao in formulating the army's counterattack plan. The original plan was not like this. Li Guoyao did not intend to annihilate all the invading enemies before, but wanted to annihilate some of the enemies while preserving his strength.
In view of this, Ma Desheng immediately frowned and said: "No matter how you say it, the little devil is only one brigade and three main regiments. Can we really annihilate each other?"
"It all depends on people! If you want to play, go big. The three-pronged army of the Japs originally had tens of thousands of people. With our strength, it is really not easy to completely annihilate each other. However, after four consecutive days of blocking operations, the three-pronged army The Japanese troops suffered heavy losses, and a conservative estimate is that the losses of the Japanese and puppet troops were around 3,000."
Li Guoyao then continued his analysis: "In addition, the Japanese army still has troops in Zaozhuang, Weishan, Yixian and other places, so I conclude that the Japanese army's strength on the front line of Xiong'er Mountain will not be more than 8,000, or even less."
"Eight thousand people is not a lot. Our current troops only consist of three main brigades plus some technical units. The total number is less than 5,000. How can we completely annihilate the opponent's 8,000 people?" Ma Desheng said solemnly.
"Under normal circumstances, it is of course impossible to completely annihilate the opponent, but now the main force of the Japanese army is concentrated in the Xiong'er Mountain District, and our main force has jumped out of the Japanese army's encirclement and arrived at the rear of the Japanese army. This is equivalent to Monkey King arriving at Princess Iron Fan's side. It¡¯s in the stomach, it¡¯s up to us whether we want to hit the heart, liver or the five internal organs.¡±
Then Li Guoyao said again: "My plan is to concentrate our forces to attack Zaozhuang first, force the main force of the Japs to return for reinforcements, and then ambush the Japanese reinforcements on the road."
It is normal to encircle a point for reinforcements. Everyone understands it as soon as they hear it. However, everyone is not sure whether such tactics can achieve the tactical effect of annihilating the Japanese army.
"Commander, is this possible? The main force of the Japs is seven to eight thousand people. Can we completely annihilate each other with this small force?" Xie Baojun asked in a deep voice.
However, Li Guoyao smiled and said: "If the Japs bring back all the main forces at once, then we will naturally not be able to completely annihilate the opponent, and at most we will only severely damage the opponent. But I am sure that the Japs on the front line will not give up the siege of Xiong'er Mountain." According to the plan, even if Zaozhuang is attacked, at most they will only send part of their troops to come back for reinforcements, maybe two thousand or three thousand. But no matter how many Japanese troops come back for reinforcements, they will not be as strong as ours. Being annihilated is to be expected.¡±
"As long as we annihilate the little Japanese troops, the overall strength of the remaining Japanese soldiers will not be as strong as ours. When the time comes, our troops will stimulate the dog days, and annihilating them will not be a problem!"
Hearing this, everyone¡¯s eyes lit up. It was indeed true. As long as the opponent¡¯s main force was eliminated first and the overall strength was balanced, it was not up to them to decide how to fight.
"Commander, please give the order!" Ma Desheng said.
Li Guoyao said no more and said in a deep voice: "Order: The Fourth Brigade and the Artillery Team will arrive outside Zaozhuang City tonight and launch a full-scale attack on Zaozhuang City at one o'clock in the morning. The special forces will cooperate with your actions. The mission of your department is not to take advantage of Zaozhuang City. We are going to Zaozhuang, but we are going to beat the little Japs in Zaozhuang City so hard that they will ask for help from the Japanese troops on the front line of Xiong'er Mountain! Do you understand?"
"Understood!" Zhou Jinlong, captain of the Fourth Brigade, said loudly.
"Order: The Fifth Brigade, the Sixth Brigade, the Fire Support Brigade, and the Engineer Brigade rushed to Fortress Ridge to set up an ambush at night to prepare for the Japs' reinforcements. I have already scouted the terrain there and it is very suitable for an ambush. But you have to build two ambush locations. The first position is on Fortress Ridge, and the second position is three kilometers in front of Fortress Ridge. I will personally guide you on how to build the ambush position when we get to the scene!"
"yes!"
"Everyone has remembered that this operation is very important to our Shandong Guerrilla Corps. As long as the invading enemies are eliminated, our pole in the entire southwest of Shandong will be erected. By then, whether they are little devils or puppet troops, Or maybe those bandits won¡¯t dare to ignore our existence. On the contrary, if we fail, everyone will step on us. It¡¯s a matter of life and death. You must cheer up and fight the enemy bravely!¡±
"yes!"
"Let's all get ready. We'll take action after dark. Let's call it a night!"
The night is beautiful tonight, with the bright moon in the sky, and it doesn¡¯t look dark at all even in the middle of the night.
Weishan Island is not quiet at all tonight. In the afternoon, the troops began to gather, and then buried pots to make rice. As soon as the sun went down, the troops began to cross the lake.
Wait until it gets completely darkBy the end, more than 5,000 national army elites had all crossed Weishan Lake and appeared on the east bank of Weishan Lake.
The troops then crossed the railway line blocked by the Japanese army and headed towards Zaozhuang.
At around eight o¡¯clock in the evening, the troops arrived outside Zaozhuang City.
Since we have been here several times, everyone is familiar with the journey and there is no panic at all.
After arriving at Zaozhuang, Ma Desheng led the Fourth Battalion and part of the Artillery Battalion to stay in preparation for attacking Zaozhuang City, while Li Guoyao personally rushed to Fortress Ridge with the remaining 4,000 troops.
When Li Guoyao and others arrived at Fortress Ridge, it was already past 11 o'clock in the evening. At this time, everything was silent, and the entire Zaozhuang seemed particularly quiet inside and outside.
After arriving at the ground, Li Guoyao immediately ordered the troops to start repairing the ambush position.
According to Li Guoyao's prediction, once fighting breaks out in Zaozhuang, the Japs on the front line are most likely to order troops from the direction of Wawashan to return for reinforcements. The Japanese army has a cavalry regiment and two infantry brigades along this route, plus some technical forces. The total strength of the troops is about 4,000.
The distance from Wawashan to Fortress Ridge is about twenty kilometers. Judging from the speed of the Japanese army's rapid march, it can reach ten kilometers in one hour. This means that the main force of the Japs can reach Fortress Ridge in up to three hours, so it is left to them. There was not much time to build the position.
In view of this, Li Guoyao immediately called Zhou Jinlong and the captain and deputy captain of the engineering brigade over!
After waiting for the people to come over, Li Guoyao pointed to the winding mountain road in front of him and said: "This is the most dangerous and complex area of ????Fortress Ridge. Within three kilometers of this mountain road, all the ravines are crisscrossed, which is very suitable for an ambush, so this is The first battlefield to ambush the main force of the Japanese army, the Fourth Brigade relied on these mountain roads to build positions!"
¡°The requirements are also very simple. Firstly, we must pay attention to concealment. Secondly, we must pay attention to the killing effect of firepower. We must arrange more mines and machine gun positions. Based on your combat experience, I should not need to say more about these!¡±
"I understand, commander, please rest assured!" Zhou Jinlong said loudly.
Li Guoyao nodded with satisfaction and said: "Fort Ridge will be left to your Fourth Brigade. The task of the Engineer Brigade is to build a position in the valley in front. Although it is a valley, the cliffs on both sides are not steep, and the valley is not steep. It's wide enough, the widest part is five hundred meters wide, and the terrain is actually not particularly suitable for an ambush."
"But, we now have a lot of secret weapons to make up for the shortcomings in the terrain, so your engineering brigade immediately stationed here and started building an ambush position. I only have two points to say about the requirements here. The first is to remove all the weapons. The conscience guns are placed on both sides of the valley, and the second step is to dig a trench on the gentle slopes on both sides to hide people, and prepare some wooden planks."
Although neither You Keyong nor Cai Yingxiong knew Li Guoyao's purpose of doing this, the military orders were overwhelming, and coupled with their consistent trust in Li Guoyao, they immediately saluted with a military salute and loudly said: "Promise to complete the mission!"
"Go and prepare, success or failure will depend on your performance!"
"yes!"
