I really came here to fight against Japan

Chapter 724: Teacher, Don’t Underestimate the 7th Division

The teacher said: "Why not ask Comrade Wang Bi Da to send five main regiments over.

It can also be regarded as giving a helping hand to their guerrilla division, which will give them a better chance of success.

In the end, even if we cannot completely annihilate two divisions of the devil, it is still possible to take down one of his divisions."

Song Wenwan laughed and said, "Teacher, you can't underestimate the Seventh Guerrilla Division.

You all know that commander Lu Changfeng, my uncle-in-law."

Teacher: "Haha, I know, we have heard of this teacher Lu. He is a very good fighter."

Song Wenwan: "There is one thing I haven't revealed. As early as last year, his Seventh Division had already been expanded.

At that time, his Seventh Division had developed four columns.

By the way, he also has a divisional guard brigade, with a total of more than 130,000 troops.

These are his regular army troops, and the village liaison teams, security corps, and militia battalions are not included.

It has been more than half a year now, and I can’t say for sure how many people he can mobilize in his team.

But I think the number of 150,000 troops is finally there.

A few days ago, he sent me a telegram to complain and asked me when we could change our flag.

Now his men can hardly hide anymore.

Who has ever seen more than 200 elite militiamen with eight-pack abdominal muscles who are only concerned with training in a village?

Later, I replaced the equipment for his troops. Wow, he actually asked me for new equipment for seven divisions.

I asked him to send all the surplus weapons to Wang Bidada.

As a result, when I checked the accounts, I found something wrong, because the number of rifles he recovered was no less than 100,000.

This includes 50,000 Garand semi-automatic rifles and 50,000 Type 38 rifles.

There were more than 2,000 light and heavy machine guns alone, as well as a large number of mortars, and 75mm field guns and mountain guns.

Later, Wang Bidada sent me a telegram to thank me for my support.

All at once, 20,000 Garand semi-automatic rifles and 60,000 Type 38 rifles were given to the Eighth Route Army in Hebei.

More than a thousand light and heavy machine guns were provided, including more than 300 Type 99 light machine guns and Type 92 heavy machine guns.

I was wondering, our guerrilla division’s troops have long stopped using Japanese machine guns.

Where did these more than 300 Japanese light and heavy machine guns come from? Aren't they just replaced from the militia?

And of the 50,000 Garand semi-automatic rifles, why was only 20,000 given to Lao Wang?

This is because he trained another 30,000 regular troops.

He was too embarrassed to ask me for more, so he gave Garland the extra charge himself.

You should know that those weapons were what I was going to give to Comrade Wang Bidada.

The main purpose is to guard against the old Japanese devils in Okamura in North China, who might suddenly attack them.

If this batch of weapons was not delivered in time, the Eighth Route Army in the Hebei Plain would suffer losses.

Even if he is my uncle-in-law, I will remove him from his post and investigate him."

The teacher said: "Xiao Song, don't be angry. You should know that the weapons you gave to the Jizhong Military Region are enough to reorganize 50 regiments.

I have read Comrade Wang Bidada's report. He has already used the weapons sent by Commander Lu.

Two rapid reaction brigades and two artillery brigades were secretly formed based on the model of the First Rapid Reaction Brigade.

And those Type 38 rifles were also added to each main regiment.

And according to the advice of Commander Lu, veterans from several main regiments were merged together, allowing the Hebei-Central Military Region to retain a number of powerful troops.

This has greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the Ji-Central Military Region.

In addition, relying on the mountainous terrain, there are also tunnel warfare in the plains.

We can still fight to a draw with the Japanese invaders who came to raid our base area."

Song Wenwan: "Since the teacher has spoken for him, I will forgive him this time.

Next time he is so stingy, I will ask my uncle to go home and farm."

The deputy commander-in-chief said: "Your sweep is a bit too big. Okamura will have a hard time in North China. Hahahaha."

Song Wenwan: "I was planning to make another effort next year, but who knew he would do something bad to us.

My first goal is to make the Japanese behave themselves in North China and not affect our development.

Another is to annihilate the four Japanese divisions and test where the Japanese bottom line is.

My biggest goal in this sweep of the Japanese army was to annihilate these four divisions of the Kwantung Army.

The North China Expeditionary Army borrowed four divisions from the Southern Front Army.

He was originally in Shanxi, defending the North China Expeditionary Army, but he almost died in Shanxi.

A division and a cavalry brigade from the Kwantung Army that came to support were also completely wiped out in North China.

If the four divisions of the Kwantung Army are defeated again this time, I am afraid that Commander Okamura will never find reinforcements. "

After hearing this, several CEOs applauded and thought that Song Wenwan's plan was ruthless enough.

Deputy Chief of General Staff: "Even if the Japanese are lost, these four Kwantung Army dispatched divisions.

But they still have nearly 100,000 troops, and the Japanese have nearly 60,000. Do you think they will stop? "

Song Wenwan: "Comrade Deputy Chief of Staff, the troops that took action this time are mainly from the Gannan Guerrilla Division.

It is clear that the troops in Gannan have joined forces with the Eighth Route Army.

Okamura could calculate with his eyes closed the current military strength of the anti-Japanese forces in Hebei.

After he received the news that four divisions of the Kwantung Army had been destroyed.

I'm afraid that the first order he issued was to have all the troops participating in the mopping-up operation return to their original places immediately in order to preserve their own strength.

As long as we fight this battle well, he won’t take any major action against us until next year’s autumn harvest.”

Deputy Chief of General Staff: “Why wait until next year?”

Song Wenwan: "That Commander Okamura is still waiting for us to go bankrupt next year due to the natural disaster in Zhongyuan Province.

He may not know yet that what awaits him next year may not be starvation.

Maybe what they saw was a million Central Plains militiamen who were about to fight back to their homeland."

"Ha ha……"

The deputy commander-in-chief asked, "Xiao Song, how are you going to deal with the Japanese invaders in North China in the next year?"

Song Wenwan: "Our subsequent mission is mainly to weaken the Japanese military's strength in the Japanese-occupied areas.

We must take advantage of the great victory of the May 1st mopping-up campaign to win over those wavering puppet troops.

As the Japanese's manpower was eliminated, many elite divisions were continuously transferred abroad.

It was simply impossible to send Japanese troops to guard each of the numerous strongholds in North China.

If the number of Japanese soldiers in the stronghold was reduced, they would not be enough for our troops to kill.

If the Japanese gathered together to defend the strongholds, then there would be quite a few strongholds that were guarded by puppet troops.

Therefore, we must take advantage of this phenomenon and seize the bunkers and strongholds guarded by the puppet troops.

Let them become our eyes, ears, and even a safe house for the troops.

Then use these captured strongholds to attack, blockade, or even eliminate the Japanese in other strongholds.

Specifically, we use railways and roads as a support.

Use the bunkers as chains, plus the blockade trenches and walls.

The Japanese-occupied areas were divided and surrounded to form a "cage".

Thus gradually weakening the Japanese war potential, so as to ultimately achieve the goal of destroying the devil's effective forces?6?8."
