Early the next morning, Tang Dashan stumbled into Yue Weihan's office and said mysteriously: "Military seat, I got some good stuff, why don't you go and take a look?"
Yue Weihan asked: "Have you collected enough batteries and wires?"
"Enough, enough." Tang Dashan said hurriedly, "enough to fire 50 million artillery shells."
"Okay." Yue Weihan nodded immediately and said, "Let's go then, I want to see what good things you have cooked up."
Tang Dashan scratched his head in embarrassment, then Pidianpidian led the way, and even bumped into the door lintel when he was going out. There was nothing he could do, this guy was over two meters tall, and no matter how high the door lintel was, it would not work.
Soon, Tang Dashan took Yue Weihan into a compound near the division headquarters.
This compound was originally the residence of Ma Heqian, the president of the pseudo-Shimen Chamber of Commerce. This traitor was blown up to death along with Sasaki and others at the Zhengding Railway Station. All the assets, including the compound, were confiscated. For
These Japanese traitors, Yue Weihan and Master Baoshan will never be merciful.
Turning around the screen wall is the patio, where a dozen diesel barrels have been placed.
Yue Weihan Zhang took two steps forward and took a look into two of the diesel barrels. He was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed. He thought that the wisdom of the masses is really endless. They can actually think of such an "ingenious" killer weapon.
Come out, this is simply a weapon used to kill Japanese soldiers on a large scale!
I bet every diesel barrel is filled with explosives, weighing hundreds of kilograms at least!
You know, this is not a state-made explosive, but a high-explosive explosive produced by the Japanese military factory. If you detonate a diesel barrel here, it is enough to level this compound!
What's even worse is that Tang Dashan also filled the diesel barrel with a large amount of broken glass, broken porcelain, rotten nails and other debris. Once detonated, the flying fragments will form a killing radius of more than fifty meters.
Targets within ten meters will be directly torn apart by the air waves generated by the explosion. This thing is simply a super bomb!
Tang Dashan patted the oil barrels and said with a ferocious look on his face: "Military seat, bury these dozen oil barrels on the road, and wait for the march of the little devils to pass by. Hey, don't talk about each oil barrel."
We can also kill a squadron of it!"
Tang Dashan's words are not exaggerated. Based on the fifty-meter killing radius, if the Japanese army's marching formation was a four-way column, a distance of one hundred meters would be enough to stand nearly 400 people! Of course, they would be killed directly.
It is estimated that there will not be too many, but the number of people killed and injured by the fragments will definitely exceed half, that is, two hundred people!
Compared with direct bombing, injuries can obviously weaken the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army more.
The reason is very simple. If a Japanese soldier is killed by a bomb, he can just bury him. But if he is injured, it will be troublesome. The injury is not very serious, and you have to leave a soldier to take care of him; if the injury is serious, you will have to leave a soldier to take care of him.
Yes, then two Japanese soldiers are needed to carry them away on a stretcher. We can't just wait for the Chinese people to kill them with hoes, right?
"Good guy!" Yue Weihan said happily, "Datang, can you make a few more of these things?"
"No problem." Tang Dashan said without hesitation, "The special train intercepted the night before yesterday contained a carload of high explosives, at least thirty or forty tons! At least six or seven hundred of these could be made
There are land mines, even if you can’t find so many oil drums, there are also broken glass, broken porcelain, rotten iron nails, etc. You can’t get so many in a hurry.”
"Datang, you try your best to get together!" Yue Weihan said, "At least we must get another hundred!"
At this moment, even Yue Weihan could no longer remain calm. If a hundred "super bombs" like this were buried on a two-kilometer-long road, and two thousand "direct-fire" artillery shells were placed on both sides of the road, waiting until the Japanese army's first
What will happen if the explosion is suddenly detonated as the marching column of the 20th Division passes by?
The result is obvious. The forward brigade of the Japanese 20th Division will suffer a devastating blow!
Immediately, a preliminary plan to re-inflict heavy damage on the 20th Division appeared in Yue Weihan's mind.
As one of the seventeen permanent divisions of the Japanese army, the 20th Division is very powerful. According to the intelligence obtained by the Intelligence Office, the 20th Division has more than 36,000 people, and its strength is almost no lower than that of the Baoshan Division!
Of course, these 36,000 people are not all infantry. Even if they are infantry, their combat effectiveness is uneven.
Among them, the 39th Infantry Brigade and the 40th Infantry Brigade are its core combat forces, each with more than 7,000 infantrymen. These more than 14,000 infantrymen are all well-trained and experienced old Japanese soldiers, whether in terms of tactical literacy or
The combat prowess of individual soldiers is absolutely unbeatable, and it is not inferior to the veterans of the Baoshan Division.
In addition, there are about 960 cavalry in the cavalry regiment directly under the division, and about 4,000 people in the field artillery regiment directly under the division.
There are about 7,000 non-combatants in the engineer regiment, baggage regiment, field hospital and other non-combatants directly under the division.
Then there is the supplementary corps that operates with the division and regiment headquarters. It has about 10,000 reserve soldiers. However, most of the soldiers in the supplementary corps are long-retired soldiers in the countryside, or they are older, or they are drunk, or they are related to
The underworld is involved, and its combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of the active soldiers of the two major infantry brigades.
Besides the march, it is impossible for a division as large as the 20th Division to march forward in a rush.
If nothing else, the 20th Division will definitely adopt a three-stage march, with one infantry brigade as the forward, one infantry brigade as the rear, and the division headquarters will lead the directly affiliated regiments and supplementary corps in the middle. Of course, there is no need to consider the rear.
At that time, another infantry brigade will act together with the division headquarters.
Therefore, it is simply wishful thinking to try to annihilate an entire Japanese division through an ambush!
Yue Weihan only wanted to severely damage the Japanese 20th Division, rather than annihilate it, because he knew this was absolutely impossible.
Just as Yue Weihan was perfecting his idea in his mind, Chief of Staff Liu Yi hurried in from outside the door, strode to Yue Weihan, stood up at attention, and solemnly said: "Military seat, the troops have been reorganized!"
"Oh, the reorganization is completed?" Yue Weihan was slightly surprised, the time was half a day earlier than he expected.
Among the three brigade commanders under the Baoshan Division, Cao Xinglong has the best temper. He will probably not argue with the other two brigade commanders. However, Yue Weihan knows very well what kind of virtues Chi Chengfeng and Li Yulong have. To put it harshly, Yue Weihan knows
, even if it is a broken gun, they can't wait to pull it into one-third of an acre of their own land.
Liu Yi nodded and said: "Military seat, are you going to leave now?"
"No." Yue Weihan waved his hand and said, "Order all brigades and regiments to train on the spot for three days!"
The army has just been reorganized. The troops do not know the generals and the generals do not know the soldiers. Such a unit will suffer losses when it is brought to the battlefield. Moreover, the Baoshan Division has just won two major victories. It is necessary to strengthen the exchanges between new recruits and veterans through reorganization and training.
Rapidly increasing the combat effectiveness of the entire division is the so-called skill of sharpening the sword and chopping firewood, and this little time cannot be saved.
"Three days of training?" Liu Yi frowned and said worriedly, "Military seat, to put it bluntly, I'm worried that the Eighth Route Army won't be able to hold off the two Japanese armies for too long. What if after three days, the troops
The training was finally completed, but the Japanese army also attacked Shimen City, so what should we do?"
"Chief of Staff, you are worrying too much." Yue Weihan patted Liu Yi on the shoulder and said with a smile, "The Eighth Route Army is not easy to mess with. If the little devil wants to quickly pass through their defense zone, there is no way!"
Liu Yi said solemnly: "Military seat, do you really have confidence in the Eighth Route Army?"
"Of course." Yue Weihan said without hesitation, "The Eighth Route Army is not very good at positional warfare or offensive warfare, but when it comes to guerrilla warfare and breakthrough warfare, the Eighth Route Army is definitely an expert. In this regard, there is really no army in the world.
The army can be compared with them, and it will not be easy for the little devils to break the Eighth Route Army's brown sugar tactics."
After saying this, Yue Weihan said to Tang Dashan: "Datang, I will give you two days. Within two days, you must make a hundred of these things for me."
"Yes." Tang Dashan stood at attention and said loudly, "I promise to complete the mission."
Yue Weihan nodded, then turned to Liu Yi and said: "Chief of Staff, let's go to Niangziguan and actually survey the terrain. I already have a preliminary idea. We will discuss it on the way."
Liu Yi nodded and immediately followed Yue Weihan out of the courtyard.
Foothills of Taihang Mountain, headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.
In the war room, several combat officers were working on the map while whispering.
"Hey, have you heard that the Baoshan Division will have to train for three days? That's good. They started this battle, but now it has become our Eighth Route Army's problem. The three divisions of the little devils have 70,000 to 80,000 people.
It’s all our fault!”
"This kid Yue Weihan is really over the top, but so is the boss. Why are you wading into this muddy water?"
"That's right, no matter whether we win or lose, we can't lose. This is purely a losing business."
"What are you talking about? What kind of money-losing deal!?" President Peng's thunderous voice suddenly sounded from the door of the war room.
Several combat staff officers immediately fell silent and no longer dared to talk nonsense. President Peng then walked into the war room with his hands behind his back. He immediately snorted and said: "You all listen up, we, the Eighth Route Army, are not responsible for resisting the Japanese and fighting the Japanese."
We fight for Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, not for the Communist Party, let alone Yue Weihan and Baoshan Division, but for the common people!"
Chief of Staff Zuo, who had just come out of the telecommunications room next door, quickly smoothed things over and said: "Boss, don't be so familiar with them. I have good news to tell you. The Yellow River Bridge on the Pinghan-Hankou Railway was destroyed by the Jinan Military Region.
The railway guerrillas were accidentally bombed, and the Japanese 6th and 13th Divisions had to go north on foot, haha."
"Oh?" Mr. Peng immediately perked up after hearing this and said, "It seems that the problem in southern Hebei is not big!"
After saying this, Mr. Peng's face suddenly became serious again, and he said: "But I'm afraid there is some trouble here in the 129th Division."
