Zhong Chengjun was not optimistic about this battle, and even felt that the assault platoon had no chance of winning against the Donghui stronghold.
Looking at Huang Yu with a worried look on his face, he reminded: "Platoon commander, the Donghui stronghold is not the same gun towers we have fought before!"
"No matter how tight the troops are, there will still be more than fifty troops left behind!"
"The assault platoon does not have as many people as them, and we are short on time. How can we fight!"
"Of course we fight it the old way!" Huang Yu blurted out and answered with confidence.
Zhong Chengjun shook his head and retorted: "I don't think it's feasible to attack the Donghui stronghold using the old method!"
"We only have half the night to attack. If the regiment commander's attack goes smoothly, we won't have half the night!"
"There is absolutely no time to force the little devils out of their stronghold and consume their troops like flesh!"
Wei Dayong had just become the monitor of the first class. He didn't know what the old method Huang Yu was talking about, so he could only watch the two of them arguing with confusion.
But the scene before him was particularly shocking to him.
When he was a sergeant squad leader in the 27th Division, he would do whatever his superiors said. Even if the officers below him had any opinions, they would carry them out unconditionally. Moreover, when the superior officers made decisions, they would never discuss them with the subordinates.
He had never seen this scene before in his old army, and he was both looking forward to it and yearning for it.
I especially want to blend in, like Zhong Chengjun, to truly experience the equality and collective discussion between officers and soldiers.
Zhang Tiezhu and Wang Minghua stood with deputy platoon leader Zhong Chengjun, and they were not optimistic about this action. Their faces were full of worry, and they looked like they were hesitant to speak.
Huang Yu did not show any dissatisfaction because of Zhong Chengjun's rebuttal, and asked confidently: "Old Zhong, do you know why I chose to attack the Donghui stronghold instead of the Nanzhuang stronghold?"
"The Donghui stronghold is equipped with an infantry cannon. You are interested in their infantry cannon!" Zhong Chengjun replied tentatively.
"This is one of them!" Huang Yu was noncommittal and looked at Zhong Chengjun and continued to ask!
"Then do you know why the Japanese want to equip an infantry cannon at the Donghui stronghold?"
"Didn't you just tell me the reason? This infantry gun was reinforced by the Japanese to protect the railway line!" Zhong Chengjun blurted out the answer.
Huang Yu nodded and analyzed: "In order to protect the railway line, the Japanese strengthened the Donghui stronghold with an infantry gun, which shows that the Japanese attach great importance to the railway line."
"If we destroy the railway under the noses of the Japanese and puppet troops in the Donghui stronghold, what do you think they will do?"
"Send troops immediately to defeat us and protect the railway line!" Zhong Chengjun had already followed Huang Yu's train of thought and analyzed with his eyes lit up.
"This is a good idea!"
"I originally thought that we could force out the Japanese from the stronghold only after we laid out the plan, but we didn't have enough time."
"If destroying the railway can force the Japanese out of the stronghold, we won't even have to lay out the layout and can take action immediately. It is really possible to capture the Donghui stronghold tonight!"
"Platoon leader, I also have a problem here!" Wang Minghua suddenly interrupted.
"I have been to the Donghui stronghold. There is a two-meter-high wall surrounding the outside, and there is also a barbed wire fence. Even if we get to the side of the stronghold, it will be difficult to climb over the wall quietly."
"If we are discovered, the Japanese and puppet troops can kill us all by throwing two grenades!"
Huang Yu was still as confident as ever and was not affected by this problem at all. He smiled slightly and said: "I have already thought of a solution!"
"This wall is a problem in our eyes, but it's not a problem at all for Wei Dayong!"
"With him as the leader, our infiltration force will definitely be able to climb over the wall silently."
"Captain Wei, you can even jump over the wall of the Zhuma Village stronghold. If you lead a small team to climb over the wall of the Donghui stronghold and infiltrate into the stronghold, you will definitely have no problem!"
Wei Dayong has not yet adapted to this atmosphere of speaking freely and brainstorming, and he never thought that his next decision would affect the final decision of a battle.
I was embarrassed and scratched my head: "I practiced kung fu in the Shaolin Temple for several years before I joined the army. My skills are pretty good. I can climb a wall more than two meters high with my bare hands!"
"As long as the platoon leader trusts me, I'll be fine!"
"Then this matter is settled!" Huang Yu made a decision immediately.
"You find the best fighter from the whole platoon, preferably one who has practiced kung fu, and join squad leader Wei and me to form an infiltration team. I will be the team leader myself. Each person will be equipped with a submachine gun, five grenades or
Grenade."
"After the battle started, sneak into the stronghold through the Japanese defense loopholes, cooperate with the feint attack troops to attack the Donghui stronghold from inside and outside!"
"The troops are leaving now!"
"As soon as the reinforcements sent from the Donghui stronghold set off, we will go to seize the railway. We will first kill some of the remaining troops outside the stronghold, and then storm the stronghold!"
At the Zhumacun stronghold, the independent regiment's offensive position has been established.
Under Kong Jie's order, all the soldiers huddled their heads behind the bunker. No matter how fierce the Japanese machine guns were, they could not hurt a single soldier.
He never issued an attack order, and looked behind him from time to time.
Waiting and waiting, a smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then he saw Chen Daliang running towards him in a hurry.
"Commander, the artillery battery is ready!"
"I used the method taught to us by Platoon Leader Huang to divide the outer defense line of the stronghold into more than a dozen small sections. I worked with several squad platoon leaders to calculate the firing personnel in advance. After the attack started, I tried to fire four mortars in salvo to maximize the firing rate.
The error will be reduced to the minimum, and we guarantee that we will hit wherever you point, leader!"
"I heard that the Zhuma Village stronghold is not equipped with artillery, so I only prepared a reserve artillery position!"
In attacking the Zhuma Village stronghold, the artillery battery will play a vital role, especially in the battle against the Yamamoto special agent team.
He had fought against the Yamamoto Special Forces and seen their powerful close combat capabilities.
Artillery is the best weapon to restrain these people!
Although a lot of precious artillery shells will be used, he is more willing to save the lives of his men than the lives of his soldiers.
Looking at Chen Dalian, he looked forward to the order: "Don't use the infantry artillery until the battle starts!"
"Wait until I force all the Yamamoto agents into the gun tower, then use infantry bombardment to bury them all in the rubble!"
"Prepare the mortar to fire first. When all the Japanese troops in the feint attack force are forced to the position, shoot your shells wherever the submachine gun firepower is the densest. You don't have to save money!"
"As long as you can kill all the little Japs in the stronghold, you can use up all the artillery shells you brought."
Chen Daliang was beaming with joy and almost jumped from the ground with excitement.
Ever since I became an artilleryman, I have counted the shells every time I fired. I have never been so generous as today.
He immediately promised Kong Jie: "I brought thirty shells to each mortar and twenty shells to the infantry cannon. If one shell kills one Japanese, I can also kill all the Japanese in the stronghold!"
"Commander, you just have to wait and see, this time I will also let the Japanese have a taste of being bombed."
