Chapter 113 The Five Elements Are Uncertain, and You Lose Completely

The division commander once said, "If the five elements are not determined, you will lose completely."

Time, terrain, enemy situation, our situation, and mission, figuring out these five elements is the basis and key to winning the battle. Among these five elements, the enemy situation and terrain belong to the scope of intelligence work.

The terrain of Wang Village had been investigated in advance by the 772nd Regiment. When Huang Yourong set out, Cheng Xiazi also gave them a simple paper map.

From entering the village to now, the two have been watching and listening. Not only can they fill in some vague areas on the map, they even marked which point is most suitable for machine guns.

When they heard the traitor father and son say such a heaven-defying words, the two Eighth Route Army soldiers who came to explore the way wanted to take out their guns on the spot to eliminate the harm for the people.

But even though they complained, Huang Yourong and the commander of the reconnaissance company still had to be patient and continue to listen. After all, although the terrain has been understood almost, the enemy situation cannot be left behind.

This time they sneaked into Wang Village in plain clothes to obtain intelligence, and they had just obtained a lot of useful information from Wang Lu.

If the other party had not lied, it could be confirmed that the Japanese would arrive in the village three days later, and they were led by a lieutenant colonel.

This enemy would also carry heavy firepower, but it was a pity that it was not clear whether it was a mortar or a Type 92 infantry gun.

After Wang Lu left, the two ate and chatted, and in just a few dozen minutes, they had become one with the villagers at the same table.

Even the aunt at the next table was tricked by Huang Yourong. These middle-aged women are indeed the strongest intelligence group. After eating and drinking, they revealed a lot of Wang Taizhong's personal preferences and gossip.

After obtaining enough information, the two soldiers left the wedding banquet with satisfaction.

After returning to the headquarters of the 772nd Regiment, Huang Yourong immediately went to the room of his own regiment leader. Blind Cheng looked at the second battalion commander who was eating so much that his stomach was full, and said with some envy:

"You kid only knows how to enjoy yourself, and you don't even think about your comrades at home. You didn't even bring me a roast chicken. Do you feel ashamed to come back empty-handed?"

Although he knew that his regiment commander was joking, Huang Yourong still took out the food that had been prepared long ago, and even a bottle of Fenjiu. But Blind Cheng didn't start eating immediately, but put these things away.

Seeing the doubtful look of the second battalion commander, he explained:

"There will be a combat meeting to be held later, so let's drink this wine later. And our political commissar is back, just reward him with the food you brought back."

After reporting the specific situation of Wangcun, Huang Yourong took out the simple map and began to modify it on the spot based on what he saw and heard today.

After everything was over, the two of them came to the command post of the regiment together. Today was a little different from the past. Not only were all the senior officials present, but even the political commissar who rarely appeared on weekdays attended the meeting.

Under the circumstance that the cultural level and ideology of the officers and soldiers of the army are generally limited, an outstanding political commissar has a great influence and promotion effect on the construction, development, marching and fighting of the army.

The political commissar of the 772nd Regiment has been running around in the defense zone all year round, and many things need to be handled personally. Today, he just returned to the regiment headquarters from a nearby village and was immediately pulled over to attend the meeting.

Cheng Xiazi first relayed some of the situation in Wangcun, and then determined that the second battalion would be responsible for this operation.

"Everyone has no objection, right? Does anyone need to add anything?"

After hearing this, the first and third battalion commanders who were not selected looked a little unhappy. After all, they are all veterans who have been in the army for many years, and no one wants to be inferior.

What's more, their 772nd Regiment encourages healthy competition. Under the condition that it will not become internal competition, the three battalion commanders have not been less competitive in training or fighting.

And a place like Wangcun, where all the villains are evil, is simply the best choice to kill the chicken to scare the monkey. If these dog traitors are allowed to jump around safely for a long time, it is simply to encourage evil trends.

Especially since the third battalion commander had been bullied by village bullies in the early years, it was more painful than killing him if he could not personally participate in this dream action.

But even if he was reluctant, there was still nothing he could do.

Who let Huang Yourong find the target first, and even the reconnaissance work was done, not to mention that his own regiment commander had already made a decision.

"No objection! But we still have to discuss how to fight specifically. The main thing is that we don't know the specific arrangements of the devils, and we don't know the time and route."

Cheng Xiazi nodded, and the formulation of this battle plan was the next arrangement.

"The attack will be scheduled for the night of three days later. At that time, the Japanese have just arrived in Wangcun and have not yet fully understood the surrounding terrain, and they have no time to build fortifications."

"This matter cannot be delayed. We must hurt the Japanese at once and make them think twice before doing anything."

"Considering that this may be a street battle, I decided to transfer some light machine guns from the first and third battalions to the second battalion to strengthen its strength."

Speaking of this, Blind Cheng looked at the two battalion commanders who seemed to be looking forward to it. Anyone who was not a fool could see that they wanted to join the battle, so he added:

"You two should still focus on daily training, and defense work cannot be neglected, but you must be ready for reinforcements at any time!"

Although this sentence was more of a comforting nature, it at least gave the first and third battalion commanders some hope.

The meeting continued, and the 772nd Regiment decided to send scouts near Wangcun. They had to find out how many Japanese soldiers came to station there, and only after knowing the number of enemies could they confirm how many troops were needed.

After discussing all the details, everyone returned to their respective posts.

Although the general offensive plan had been discussed, Huang Yourong still wanted to minimize the losses as much as possible. He locked himself in the room, and kept thinking about the scene when he was eating.

Now it is highly likely that an ambush cannot be fought, but as a battalion commander, he wants to avoid street fighting between the soldiers and the Japanese.

Although Xiaorizi has no famous achievements in this regard, it is mainly because, except for a few large cities in the country, there is no basic material condition for large-scale street fighting.

Due to the extremely backward industrial foundation, there are few buildings with reinforced concrete structures in the city. Now most houses are civil structures, and even cement is called cement.

The defense ability of civil structures is very poor, and they cannot withstand the attack of general artillery shells at all. Even heavy machine guns can knock down these buildings.

For most small and medium-sized cities, the city wall less than 10 meters high is already the highest building.

Because of the above reasons, the devils have no need to fight hand-to-hand in the streets of major war zones. This behavior is completely giving up their own advantages. Unless the commander is mentally ill, he will not choose this.

Although there is no room for development, it does not mean that the devils do not train for street fighting.

Moreover, fighting in small areas such as streets and alleys requires great hand-to-hand combat skills and physical fitness of the soldiers.

Once close combat begins, the 772nd Regiment will easily get into the quagmire. After all, even if it is the main regiment, the physical fitness of the soldiers is still somewhat different from that of the devils.

The biggest feature of street fighting is the cruel and complex terrain. This will lead to countless unexpected situations in the battle.

Because the enemy and us are mixed, street fighting is extremely dangerous. Even the traitors in Wangcun are likely to take the initiative to help the devils in order to avoid being liquidated by the Eighth Route Army.

Thinking of this, Huang Yourong was very worried. It seems that the only way out now is to fight with more people, but it is a foolish act to pin the hope of victory on the enemy.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to his mind and he thought of a very creative tactic.

But since this idea was a bit far-fetched and needed intelligence support, he sent the captain of the model worker reconnaissance company to the county town to get information.

If his idea could really be realized, then this operation could be carried out beautifully.

There should be nothing wrong with my title. . . .
