Chen Zhengyu didn't care much about Zhou Cheng's words, but only regarded him as the leader of the group to comfort him.

The defense zone of the National Rescue Army was surrounded by Japanese and puppet troops, so they could only get fuel from the Japanese and puppet troops.

Among all the Japanese troops, only troops above the wing size will be equipped with large quantities of cars and tanks and reserve fuel.

If the National Salvation Army wants to get fuel from the Japanese, it will inevitably attack the Japanese devils of the size of the brigade.

Although the anti-sweeping ended with the victory of the National Salvation Army, the National Salvation Army also paid a huge price for it.

Although the recruit battalion added a large number of recruits to them during the battle, the combat power could not be restored immediately. At this moment, the remaining combat power of each battalion company and the garrison team should be only half of the original, and it takes a lot of time to restore combat power.

This means that the National Salvation Army will focus on training for a long time in the future and cannot attack.

If you want to capture the Japanese logistics warehouse of a size above the wing in a short time, the possibility is almost zero.

So he did not intend to say more about the issue of oil and continued to report: "In addition to the tanks, we also seized a large number of crawlers and mortars, because the results of the cavalry battalion killed the enemy have not been counted yet, and the specific number of crawlers and mortars seized is still under statistics!"

Zhou Cheng seemed to be still thinking about the oil problem. Chen Zhengyu did not react after saying it. After half a minute, he suddenly gave an inexplicable order: "Let the reconnaissance company commander Tang Shengbo and the deputy company commander Wang Tieshan come to me immediately. The faster the better. I have important tasks for them!"

The two of them stayed nearby and appeared in front of Zhou Cheng in less than ten minutes, and then looked at the group leader with anticipation.

Chen Zhengyu showed an inexplicable expression of confusion, not understanding what Zhou Cheng suddenly called them over for.

Zhou Cheng did not talk nonsense and explained in response to their eyes: "Chief of Staff, I just thought about it! If a large number of oil materials cannot be seized to reserve, no matter how many chariots we seize, it will be a pile of scrap iron, which has no effect!"

"Under normal circumstances, only the large Japanese warehouses will reserve oil. With the current strength of our National Salvation Army, we will definitely not have the chance to capture a large warehouse in a short time."

"But everything is unexpected. The Japanese raided Yangquan County to launch a whole chariot brigade. Because the mission was clear and the target was not far from them, the chariot brigade only carried a small amount of oil."

"But the Japanese could not let the chariot brigade take down Yangquan County and become scrap iron because of a shortage of oil. If they successfully take down Yangquan County, they will definitely replenish new oil and ammunition for the chariot brigade as soon as possible."

"If I expected it was good, these ammunition and oil were reserved around our defense zone."

"Only in this way, the chariot brigade that captured Yangquan County can replenish enough fuel and ammunition as soon as possible, and then put it into other battlefields."

"The reconnaissance company and the reconnaissance team set off immediately and find the storage place for subsequent oil and ammunition of the chariot brigade as soon as possible, and then report to me as soon as possible."

"Mobile battalion, cavalry battalion, and baggage battalion, immediately gather here after completing the current mission and prepare to attack at any time. After the reconnaissance company found the oil warehouse, we immediately killed it and took all the oil and ammunition for ourselves. Only in this way can we have the capital to expand the armored company into an armored battalion and attack the Japanese on the battlefield in the future!"

Chen Zhengyu had never thought about the explanation of the group leader.

When I first heard it, I felt that the leader was whimsical. After he finished explaining, he realized that he could not find a reason to refute him.

After reading the commander's explanation in his mind again, Chen Zhengyu suddenly realized that he had been persuaded, and immediately asked: "Captain, do you really think there is a warehouse where the Japanese reserve oil is stored around our defense zone!"

"I'm sure you'll never get along!" Zhou Cheng replied firmly.

"As long as the Japanese don't want their chariot brigade to lie in Yangquan County, they will definitely store oil and ammunition around the defense zone in case of emergency!"

"Then do it!" Chen Zhengyu didn't want to see so many chariots lying because they had no oil. He felt that the National Salvation Army had no chance to grab oil from the Japanese army, so he did not consider this issue.

Now that he has the chance to grab the fuel, he of course wants the armored battalion to form a little faster, form combat power as soon as possible and then go to the battlefield to kill the Japanese!

Because Hedi Town is close to Yangquan and has developed transportation, in order to block the National Salvation Army, the Japanese army stationed half an infantry brigade here for many years.

The oil and ammunition analyzed by Zhou Cheng is here. He originally planned to send it to Yangquan County during the day, but he did not expect that the raid troops not only failed to capture Yangquan, but also wiped out themselves.

So they received an order to suspend the transportation of oil as soon as dawn.

Because there is too much oil and ammunition, transporting it back to Taiyuan not only wastes time, but also wastes a lot of manpower and material resources. If the Eighth Route Army and the National Salvation Army make trouble on the march and destroy the oil and materials, it will be a bit unworthy of the loss.

So the military headquarters directly asked the garrison in Hedi Town to store the oil and ammunition in its warehouse, and took it out and used it when the Imperial Army encircled and suppressed the national rescue army again in the future.

For the reconnaissance company, it is not difficult to find out this batch of oil.

The Japanese army dispatched a chariot brigade to raid Yangquan County. The fuel from the chariot brigade must have been sent to the edge of the defense zone.

As long as the reconnaissance company found out which strongholds had been replenished in the past two days, 80% of the oil the regiment commander was looking for was in this stronghold.

That night, Zhou Cheng's eyes were fixed on the Japanese and puppet army stronghold in Hedi Town.

The Japanese have been operating this stronghold for almost three years. As the National Salvation Army becomes stronger and stronger, the importance of this stronghold is becoming more and more important, gradually expanding from the initial artillery tower to the current five artillery towers and more than 30 machine gun castles.

In addition to the barracks, ammunition depots, and training grounds... this stronghold is almost as big as half a town.

Zhou Cheng's purpose of attacking the stronghold was to seize oil and ammunition, neither of which could be encountered in fire or high temperature.

This means that the National Salvation Army must reduce the frequency of using artillery shells when attacking the stronghold, especially the houses in the stronghold cannot be attacked with artillery to prevent the destruction of oil.

So this stronghold is not that easy to take down.

Chen Zhengyu obviously thought of this problem and frowned and analyzed: "Captain of the regiment, in order to ensure the safety of oil and ammunition, we must not use artillery on a large scale in this battle. We can only rely on the soldiers to rush hard and use explosives to destroy all the castles and artillery towers at close range to avoid accidental injuries. Moreover, the entire attack must be quickly decided, and the stronghold warehouse must be taken before the Japanese figured out our real purpose, otherwise they will definitely destroy the oil first."

"So we must be prepared to fight the Japanese in this battle!"

Zhou Cheng's brows were frowned into the word "Big Sichuan" and his expression was very serious.

His combat principle has always been that problems that can be solved with shells are never used without bullets, and problems that can be solved with bullets are never used with bayonets.

On the battlefield, the lives of soldiers are much more important than shells.

In the next battle, he actually asked him to give up his artillery advantage and fight against the Japanese, and let the soldiers carry explosive bags to destroy the castle and artillery tower. This was definitely something that Zhou Cheng could not accept.

Although Chen Zhengyu's analysis was reasonable and well-founded, Zhou Cheng still rejected this style of play in his heart, and then racked his brains to think about new ways to break the deadlock.

The mobile battalion was the main force of this raid, so Chen Liwen was standing by. He heard that the troops could not use heavy weapons when attacking, and the soldiers needed to carry explosive bags to destroy the castle, so they became anxious on the spot.

If the regiment commander really decides to fight like this, the mobile battalion will definitely suffer heavy losses in this offense, which is also a result he does not want to see.

I don’t know where the courage came from, but suddenly stood up: “If we can choose a point to break through, send a commando to the stronghold, and then divide it into two, part of the forces to protect the oil warehouse, part of the force center breaks through, and attack the remaining Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold inside and outside the main force, we can eliminate the Japanese and puppet troops at the minimum cost and take down the stronghold!”

As soon as Chen Liwen finished speaking, Chen Zhengyu raised objections.

"No, the Japanese built a large number of machine gun castles around the stronghold, and there was a gun castle in each direction to attack our offensive troops from a high point. No matter which direction we broke through, we had to destroy one gun castle and at least four machine gun castles."

"We don't know where the Japanese have oil. No matter where they attack, they can't use artillery. They can only use explosives to destroy them at close range. In this way, they can't quickly break into the stronghold, and they can't break through the center and attack the Japanese inside and outside."

The speaker was unintentional, and the listener was intentional. Zhou Cheng's frown suddenly stretched, looking at Chen Zhengyu and Shen Liwen excitedly shouted: "Chief of Staff, we want to quickly break through and enter the stronghold. In addition to using artillery fire to open the way and destroy the artillery tower and the castle in a short period of time, there is another way!"

"The Japanese army stationed at the Hedi Town stronghold is only half an ordinary garrison. Although it has strengthened many mortars and heavy machine guns, it is not equipped with anti-tank weapons, and it is even more unlikely to be equipped with anti-aircraft anti-aircraft machine guns."

"We can completely transfer the armored company to the place, use tank armored vehicles to serve as shields for the infantry, cover them to touch the Japanese artillery tower and the castle, and then destroy it with explosive packs!"

"This fight can not only minimize casualties, but also be unstoppable, using the fastest time to break out a bloody path, rush into the stronghold, and take down oil and supporting ammunition."

Chen Zhengyu was shocked by Zhou Cheng's decision, but out of trust in the regiment commander, he did not immediately refute the proposal, but asked with a hesitation: "Captain, can we really cover the troops to get close to the stronghold quickly? The light and heavy machine guns equipped by the Japanese really cannot penetrate the protective armor of the chariot?"

Before Zhou Cheng could explain, Chen Liwen spoke again, looking at Chen Zhengyu and answered with great certainty: "Chief of Staff, the regiment commander said this method will definitely work!"

"Before the counterattack of the Japanese raid troops, the regiment commander specially taught us how to fight tanks and armored vehicles. Although the Japanese voluntarily gave up the chariots, we did not use those tactics."

"But out of caution, the troops still used light and heavy machine guns to shoot the bodies of the chariots when they attacked. After the battle, I went to check those chariots specifically, but no bullet penetrated the protective armor of the chariots."

"A normal machine gun bullets can only leave a white spot on it. The power of heavy machine gun bullets is more powerful and leaves a dent on the body of the car, but it will definitely not penetrate the body!"

"The Japanese and puppet troops stationed in the Hedi Town stronghold are only equipped with mortars, grenade launchers, heavy machine guns, and crawler guns. Except for the mortar shells that directly hit the chariot, it will cause some damage, and other weapons cannot hurt the chariot."

"When attacking, the three chariots were distributed in shape. A platoon of infantry hid among the three chariots and quickly approached the castle with the chariots."

"Because the body of the chariot blocks the three directions of the offensive troops like a shield, they can kill all the way to the dead corner of the firepower of the castle. At that time, any grenade is thrown into the castle through the shooting hole, and the Japanese hiding inside will be finished."

"After destroying the castle, the troops continued to assault forward until they entered the stronghold."

"Almost all the Japanese forces guarded the castle and artillery tower. There must be not many people in the stronghold. With three tanks covering, the commando will definitely find the warehouse quickly and occupy him!"

Although Zhou Cheng didn't say anything, the increasingly strong smile on his face showed that he agreed with Shen Liwen's analysis very much.

After he finished speaking, he ordered with a serious face: "This action is decided!"

"The armored company, cavalry battalion, mobile battalion, and baggage battalion are all dispatched. It will start the action as soon as it dark tonight. It will launch an attack at 2 a.m. to strive to end the battle within an hour, leave another hour to clean the battlefield, and evacuate the battlefield at 4 a.m. and return to the defense zone!"

"The armored company is not here. To prevent them from exposing their targets during marching, Chief of Staff, you personally go to the armored company's base and ask them to give up all their equipment and come here to report in a car."

"In this operation, we will use the tanks and armored vehicles that the troops have just seized, and the small amount of fuel and ammunition to concentrate on the several tanks that were preparing to attack."

"As long as we fight this war tonight, the armored forces will not need to worry about insufficient fuel for a long time in the future."

The Japanese commander who was far away in Taiyuan did not know that his other target was targeted by the National Salvation Army.

Although this goal is very small and cannot even reach the eyes of the army commander, it has a very big impact.

As long as the National Saving Army successfully takes it down and grabs precious oil and supporting ammunition, the National Saving Army will have another killer force.

At this moment, the Japanese Army Commander was reviewing his various actions over the past year.

After reporting bad news about the failure of the sweep and the failure of the raid, the commander was furious and scolded the microphone for a full ten minutes before stopping.

The commander was very lucky. During this period, not only the troops in Shanxi were defeated under the attacks of the National Salvation Army and the Eighth Route Army. Other troops under the North China Front Army also suffered heavy losses under the attacks of the Eighth Route Army and other anti-Japanese armed forces, which invisibly reduced the bad impact of these two defeats.

Although he was scolded, the position of the commander was saved.

Then the commander locked himself in the room and reflected on himself, analyzing the fundamental reasons for his defeat to the National Savior Army and the Eighth Route Army over and over this period, hoping to find a way to break the situation and wait until the Shanxi garrison recovers its strength and then avenge the previous shame.

"Report to the Chief, the intelligence department has sent all the latest information about the National Salvation Army. Please review it!" The Chief of Staff knew that the commander was in a very bad mood now, and in order not to anger him, his voice was much smaller than usual.

The commander did not receive any information.

In his opinion, the National Salvation Army fought several consecutive battles, and although they all won, their troops must have suffered heavy losses and were very tired.

Now that the battle is over, they will definitely rest and restore their strength as soon as possible, so the information sent by the Chief of Staff is 80% of where the National Salvation Army is training, and there is nothing particularly valuable.

Without raising his head, he directly ordered: "Just introduce it briefly!"
