After settling the matter with Tang Nasi, Wang Feng's worry was resolved.
As for how much money he could get from Tang Nasi, he would have to wait for Tang Nasi to come over and negotiate with him.
Another three days had passed. Unknowingly, the county brigade had completed two weeks of training.
That night, Wang Feng, Uncle Gao, Deputy Commander Zhao Tianyu, Deputy Instructor Luo Mingfei, and Chief of Staff Yao Jianming gathered in the county unit.
At this moment, in front of the five of them, there were reports on the training of the various units of the county brigade in the past two weeks, as well as the problems that had been exposed.
The vice-captain, Zhao Tianyu, was the first to speak. He looked at Wang Feng and said,"Captain, I can say without hesitation that after the veterans and officers have been integrated into the various units for the past two weeks, the strength of our county unit has increased by at least 30%.”
"Right now, our county brigade has three infantry companies and nine platoons. Any random platoon can take on a small team of Japanese soldiers head-on.”
"If we send out a company, we can go head-to-head against a reinforced Japanese squadron. As long as they had the support of an artillery company, they could definitely wipe out a Japanese infantry squadron within 8 hours.”
When Zhao Tianyu said this, his tone was full of confidence. As the saying went, without investigation, one had no right to speak. He had the most right to speak now.
"Captain, I think we should take the initiative to launch a few big battles. For example, let Third Company attack the Huang Village Stronghold, Second Company attack the Qiu He Stronghold, and then let First Company restrain the devils in Li Jia Town.”
"We will take out the two remaining spies in our base in one fell swoop. We will let the devils only leave behind Li Jia Town and the county town.”As a military officer, no one disliked fighting. When they heard the gunshot, they were more anxious than anyone else.
Looking at the excited Vice Captain Zhao Tianyu, who wanted to ask for a fight, Wang Feng smiled and nodded. Then, he waved at him and said,"Old Zhao, don't get too excited. After the expansion of the Huang Village and Qiuhe strongholds, each place has a company of puppet soldiers and a small group of devils. In total, there are about 200 to 300 people.”
"They are relying on the blockhouses and secret fortresses in the strongholds. If we don't mobilize twice the number of people and add weapons like mountain cannons, we can forget about taking down these two strongholds. "You have to know that our county unit's advantage is our firepower, but this strength is also relative. If we can avoid a battle, we should try our best to avoid it. It's best to choose to fight in the wild.”
At this point, Wang Feng looked at the somewhat disappointed Zhao Tianyu. He was deeply afraid that it would dampen Zhao Tianyu's enthusiasm, so he said,"Of course, I'm not saying that we won't do anything. We'll just change our method and see how we can turn a siege into a field battle.”
Wang Feng stood up and pointed at the battle map in front of him."This is Li Jia Town. There is a battalion of puppet soldiers stationed there, plus a military police squad and an infantry squad. There are five to six hundred people in total.”
"There are a lot of supplies stored in the Li Family Town. This place is more than ten miles away from Guizi County. There is less than a battalion of puppet soldiers in the county. There are two infantry squadrons, one artillery squadron, one transport squadron, and one machine gun squadron.”
"The total number of Japanese and puppet soldiers in the entire county is 2,200 to 300, which is twice the number of our county brigade. Of course, excluding the 1200 puppet soldiers, the real Japanese only had 1,100 people. Among them, there were more than 200 technical soldiers, and the combat force only had 900 people.”
Speaking of this, Wang Feng once again pointed at Li Clan Town. He swept his gaze across the four people around him and asked,"If we make an issue out of Li Town and make it look like we're attacking Li Town, do you think the devils in the county town will send reinforcements?”
"Of course!"
As soon as Wang Feng said this, the others nodded without hesitation.
"Li Jia Town has a large amount of weapons and ammunition. The Japanese won't dare to let us attack Li Jia Town so recklessly.”
Zhao Tianyu's eyes lit up."Captain, do you mean that we should surround the reinforcements? The siege of Li Jia Town is just for show. Is our real goal to ambush the two strongholds or the devils in the county town?”
Hearing Zhao Tianyu's words, Wang Feng nodded slightly and said,"That's right, I'm just a Japanese who wants to surround a stronghold to fight for reinforcements. However, I'm not a Japanese who wants to attack two strongholds because the commander of the Japanese is not a fool.”
"Once the Japanese leave these two strongholds, they will become the meat in our mouths. Therefore, it is very likely that they will send reinforcements from the county to support Li Family Town. Our target is the enemy that the county is supporting.”
As soon as Wang Feng finished speaking, Chief of Staff Yao Jianming frowned and said,"However, there are a lot of Japanese in the county town. We are going to attack Lijia Town, and one company is not enough. I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Japanese to fall for the pressure. Moreover, the mountain artillery platoons of the artillery company will also have to follow us.”
"If the Japanese were more cautious and left the puppet troops to defend the city, they would provide full support. With our military strength, it doesn't seem like we can take down these Japanese.”
As soon as the chief of staff said this, the others also started to think hard. This was an objective fact. If the county brigade was a large group of 2,000 people, there would not be so many problems. Although they were still short of manpower, they still had the strength to fight.
After all, the Japanese in the county only had two infantry squadrons. The rest were either heavy or technical soldiers. Their combat power was incomparable to an infantry squadron.
"Don't forget, we still have a new recruit company.”Seeing that everyone was deep in thought, Wang Feng smiled happily and said directly.
"During this period of time, our recruit company has developed and has more than 200 people. There are also dozens of new recruits and some veterans who are on the battlefield.”
"I plan to let the third company commander Zhang Tao command two platoons and a new recruit company. At the same time, I will leave the mountain artillery platoon to Zhang Tao and let him be in charge of the feint attack on Li Jia Town.”Wang Feng said to Luo Mingfei.
"Old Luo, you will represent the brigade to stay in Third Company and help Zhang Tao. This is a good seedling. We will help him grow faster.”
"Good! No problem!"
The recruit company that Wang Feng mentioned made everyone suddenly see the light. Because Wang Feng had always emphasized that recruits could not participate in combat without completing their training, everyone subconsciously ignored the recruit company.
But now, the appearance of the new recruits, a unit that was not valued much, could be considered to have solved everyone's problem.
The remaining 1st Company, 2nd Company, 3rd Company, 2nd Artillery Company, 2nd Artillery Company, Logistics Company, Guard Company, and Scout Company were enough for an ambush.
They did not want to wipe out the Japanese from the county town. As long as they could defeat them, they would have completed their mission.
This was because they had the same number of troops, so it would be difficult to completely annihilate them.
After unifying their thoughts, everyone began to deduce around this. At the same time, they came up with ideas and began to perfect this battle plan.
However, just as everyone was busy working through the night and had just finished drafting the battle plan the next morning, they were about to take a look again and report it to the division headquarters.
Zhou Yuan, the monitor of the communications class, walked in with a piece of newspaper in his hand. He bowed and reported,"Report, Second Company and Third Company sent telegrams at the same time saying that the devils in Huang Village and Qiuhe Stronghold withdrew from the strongholds early this morning and retreated to Li Town.”
Upon hearing this news, Wang Feng and the others could not help but be stunned. Then, they all leaned on the map and looked at it. At the same time, they began to think about what the Japanese were trying to do.
"Report!"
However, in less than ten minutes, Zhou Yuan arrived again. He handed Zhao Tianyu a newspaper and reported,"Report, the platoon leader of the reconnaissance platoon sent a message. The county town's Japanese soldiers set off early in the morning and headed for Li Town.”
"There is only a battalion of puppet soldiers and a small group of devils left in the county town. The commander of the devil county town, Fugu Zhenyi, is also in the team heading to Li Town.”
Wang Feng and the others, who had been wondering what the Japanese were up to, finally understood the problem.
