    Heze. Three Column Headquarters!

    Sitting in the small office were five or six national army officers, all of whom were of high rank in terms of military rank and clothing. The person sitting in the main seat was Li Guoyao himself, and under him were the third column commander Wen Debiao and the deputy commander.  Gao Hu, Chief of Staff Xu Wenlong and others.

    After learning that all the main commanders of the three columns had arrived, the tired Li Guoyao cleared his throat and asked immediately: "Old Wen, how were the losses of the troops some time ago?"

    "Reporting to the commander, although the battle with the Japanese 10th Division in the past few days took less than three days, the losses of our unit were not small. More than 1,600 people were directly killed and more than 700 were injured, totaling more than 2,300 people.  people."

    Hearing this data, Li Guoyao was really surprised!

    Although Wen Debiao said the fight lasted for three days, Li Guoyao knew that in fact the two sides only fought for a day and a half. However, he never expected that the troops would suffer such heavy casualties.

    "So tragic? Have you summed up the reasons?" Li Guoyao asked in a deep voice.

    "We have summarized it. After discussion, we believe that the reason why the losses in this battle are so heavy is mainly related to our inflexible tactics. Since this battle is a defensive operation, the purpose is also to delay the Japanese army and kill the effective force of the Japanese army. Therefore,  The troops only passively defend when fighting, and will evacuate only when the position is really no longer usable!"

    Wen Debiao then continued: "Secondly, the firepower of the 10th Infantry Division is beyond our imagination. Aircraft, artillery and tanks all took turns. Our weapons and equipment are incomparable with the opponent's, so we suffered such heavy losses!"

    Li Guoyao nodded and said: "Well, the analysis is quite profound, but this time the situation is special, so the kid took advantage of it, but looking at the overall situation, the kid still lost."

    "Commander, what should we do next?" Gao Hu asked.

    Li Guoyao said calmly: "Set a small goal first and eat the 17th Division!"

    Everyone was stunned. The 17th Division was still eaten. I really don¡¯t know where the commander¡¯s confidence came from.

    "Commander, the 17th Division is a complete three-unit field division, and its combat effectiveness is not weak. It will not be easy for us to eat the opponent!"

    Li Guoyao smiled and said: "A strong attack will definitely not work, but the mountain people here have their own tricks!"

    "Commander, it's better for you not to talk to us. I feel anxious when I hear this!" Zhou Jinlong said carelessly.

    "In that case, let me tell you what I think!"

    Then Li Guoyao continued: "According to the investigation of the intelligence department, the 17th Division of the Little Devils has about 15,000 people. It is currently stationed near Xuzhou, but its main force is on guard to the southwest of Shandong. I plan to send a group  A small force was formed to harass the 17th Division¡¯s garrison, forcing the Japanese army to take the initiative to attack us!¡±

    "Luring the enemy deeper?"

    "Yes, when the little devils are attracted to the hinterland of the base, our troops will attack them in groups and finally wipe them out!" Li Guoyao said.

    "Commander, have you ever thought about it? The little Japs may not be fooled. Even if they are lured to the hinterland by our army, we may not have the strength to swallow them up! Once the little Japs guard the hinterland of our army, the surrounding Japs soldiers will continue to pour in.  Come here, then we will steal the chicken but lose the rice!" Wen Debiao said.

    However, Li Guoyao shook his head and said: "What you said is not unreasonable, but I won't let this happen. I will arrange the rest. You just need to follow my orders!"

    "yes!"

    "Before taking action, I need to know how many troops there are in southwestern Shandong and what their weapons and equipment are like?" Li Guoyao asked again.

    "Reporting to the commander, our unit now has 12 infantry brigades, two artillery brigades, 3 cavalry brigades, 1 engineering brigade, 2 transport brigades and a tank squadron. The total strength is more than 19,000 people, equipped with rifles.  13,327 pieces, 112 light machine guns, 74 heavy machine guns, 26 mortars, 8 mountain artillery pieces each, 5,422 war horses, 72 cars, and 8 tanks!"

    As soon as he finished speaking, Li Guoyao shook his head and said, "Is that all?"

    "Commander, these are capable of going to the battlefield. There are also a large number of non-combatants, but they have all been withdrawn to the front line in eastern Henan. There are probably about 5,000 of these soldiers!"

    Li Guoyao frowned and said: "There are enough soldiers, but the weapons and equipment are not! Especially heavy weapons, there is a serious shortage!"

    "Commander, more than two hundred light and heavy machine guns and more than forty artillery pieces are enough. A division of the little devil may not be enough."There are so many weapons!  "Xu Wenlong said solemnly.

    "Then you are underestimating the combat effectiveness of the Japanese field division. Don't think that the Japanese field division is just 36 75mm mountain guns. All divisions have the same virtue. The weapons and equipment of the Japanese field division are far more deadly than yours.  It's even more powerful than you can imagine, take the 16th Division we fought against before as an example. The division has a capacity of 25,179 men and 7,513 horses!"

    Then Li Guoyao continued: "There are also 14,064 Type 38 rifles, 288 crooked light machine guns, 96 Type 92 heavy machine guns, 288 grenades, 24 Type 92 infantry guns, and 16 Type 41 mountain guns.  , 16 Type 94 Type 37 combat anti-aircraft guns, 48 ??Type 97 direct-fire infantry guns, 36 modified Type 38 field guns, and 12 Type 92 heavy howitzers."

    "Calculate how many heavy weapons the little devil's field division has. Putting aside light and heavy machine guns, there are no less than 150 artillery pieces of large and small calibers. Even in the internal documents of the Japanese army, mortars are not included in the artillery.  Inside the establishment.¡±

    ¡°Commander, what do you mean is that we need to strengthen our firepower configuration?¡±

    "Well, immediately send a report to the direction of Xiong'er Mountain and order the headquarters artillery column and air defense troops to assemble and secretly rush to southwest Shandong! In addition, let the logistics department transfer 300 light machine guns and 200 heavy machine guns. The bullets will be divided into ten  The base number will match!¡±

    Hearing Li Guoyao's words, everyone was stunned. Five hundred light and heavy machine guns were summoned at once. What a startling work!

    "Commander, is it necessary to mobilize so many?"

    "Yes, this time we are not fighting a blocking war, but an encirclement and annihilation war. Therefore, in terms of weapons and equipment, we can only be better than the Japanese, not weaker than the other side. Except for the fact that we do not have aircraft and large-scale armored forces, everything else is  It must be fully configured!" Li Guoyao said.

    "yes!"

    "Old Wen, please let the troops below use more heartless cannons. This time they will have to use those things!" Li Guoyao warned.

    "Yes, I'll let them prepare in a moment!"

    Li Guoyao nodded, and then said: "Let me talk about the principles for the use of troops. From now on, 2 infantry brigades will be combined into one combat unit, and 12 infantry units will be combined into 6 combat units. Among them, two brigades will be deployed in the direction of Juye, and the remaining  All troops have withdrawn to the west of Heze and are on standby, leaving only two brigades in Heze City!"

    "Order: Zhou Jinlong's and Zhang Shaolin's troops are responsible for luring the enemy. I will give you one day to prepare. After preparation, the troops will immediately move south to Xuzhou, and then conduct harassing operations against the 17th Division's defense area. Once the Japanese army pursues them, the troops will immediately retreat.  , attracting the little devils to the hinterland of southwestern Shandong!"

    "Yes, I promise to complete the task!"

    "Order: Wu Tiancheng's troops must defend Heze, not only to strengthen the defenses, but also to maintain order in the city. If anyone takes this opportunity to commit crimes, he will be killed without mercy!"

    "Yes, I promise to complete the task!"

    ¡°Okay, let¡¯s stop talking about it today, let¡¯s break up the meeting!¡±
